Ariel had a very jolly time as the Restrained Elegance resident slavegirl in 2010, but how much has she actually
listened and learned about the way the site operates behind the scenes? And has she been keeping up with her assigned
training exercises to become a better slavegirl? Only one way to find out- an end-of-year Exam!
First up is her physical performance. She'd foolishly explained about a set of exercises designed to make one better at
standing on tiptoes- as the resident slavegirl of a barefoot bondage site, surely such exercises were ideal! She was
ordered to practice... but now it is time for the test. Can she do 50 of the extremely challenging single leg raises
standing on a step... 50 on EACH leg? If not, she knows there will be some sort of punishment... and knowing Hywel's
predilections, there's a good chance of it being bastinado!
Hywel's Note: the tone of the bastinado part of this video ended up significantly more severe than we had originally planned.
We'd actually started
off from the idea of wanting to do another bastinado scene and worked backward to incoporate the leg raises (which Ariel
genuinely has been practicing) and then Ariel came up with the whole end of year exam theme. The severity of the
bastinado seems out of keeping with the supposed reason for it- whoopsie! Something of a problem when working backwards
to create the scene. The first part of the video (the leg raises) is much more light hearted, the bastinado itself is a
very intense scene and will mainly be of interest to the harder BDSM players among you.
Ariel's Note:
Whoops, all I can say is that I'm trying to get some pain tolerance back! It was a pretty hard bastinado scene, and we haven't shot anything in this style for a while. I was glad that we were shooting as us, rather than other characters. I really wanted a hug at the end, and I'm thinking that if Hywel had been playing a hitman or cruel feudal lord, I might not have got one straight away :)
