What I Wanted From Yaelle
It was my relationship with my wonderful Second Life slave that I had imagined when Yaelle approached me. Based on the public information that I had placed on my profile and my interaction with other people, I had been approached by a genuine submissive woman once, now I felt that it had happened again.
However, there were several clues that Yaelle was lying to me that I should have paid attention to.
- One clue was that Yaelle had not been on Second Life for very long. In the culture of Second Life, a person receives more status the longer they have been in-world. Newer people are known to not follow the rules of specific in-world meeting places and may be thrown out for bad behavior.
- Another clue was that Yaelle’s profile was only partially filled out. Another aspect of the culture of Second Life is that people take great pride in creating their profile. A creative profile can be as much a status symbol as a fit body is in real life. It is something you work hard on for yourself and for other people to know you by.
- Yaelle asked to be collared on the first night that I met her. If she were being honest about the relationship that she was asking for she would have been more choosey about who she was giving herself to. Although we did talk for more than two hours that night over Second Life chat, and Skype that evening, there is no way she could have known me well enough in the short time we had known each other to trust me as her Dominant.
- Yaelle asked me for money directly. Although there are slaves that are sold at public auction houses in Second Life, these people do not ask for money directly. Most auction houses have an extensive slave training period where they vet these women to be submissive and trustworthy. The slave auction houses assure that when a slave sells herself, she takes her commitment to her future Master’s seriously. A reputable slave auction house will refund a buyer’s money if the slave they sell goes offline and is no longer available to their Master.
Yaelle discussed the many forms of training I could put her through and she agreed to every single one. However, there is one thing that I asked of her that was different than I had asked of my previous Second Life submissive, and that was that she write with me.
Being on the autism spectrum, I find it difficult to communicate sometimes with other people in person. I feel that I communicate better in writing than in person because when composing sentences in my word processor, I have more time to think about what I am saying. At the same time, sitting alone and writing is hard for me to do. It is much easier for me to get sentences down on paper if I can talk out ideas with another person, although this presents its own set of challenges for me. It is actually easier for me to work with another person remotely than if they are in the room. When a person is physically with me they can create many types of distraction that can throw me off my train of thought.
The system that I use is to write with Google Docs and to talk with the person using Skype. The advantage of Google Docs is that I can share the document that I am writing with the other person so that they can see what I am writing as I type it. Further, they can help to copy edit the document that I am working on as I am writing. The advantage of Skype is that it allows me to have a hands free conversation with the other person while I am writing. I have a microphone and speakers attached to my computer so that I do not need to wear a headset which can press on my ear and be painful after a while. Even if I could use a camera over Skype I would not, because it would create the kind of distraction that I am trying to avoid.
Although I cannot afford to hire someone to write with me every day, it would have been worth it to buy a Second Life slave who would be willing to write with me even a few times a week. However, as a person on the autism spectrum, purchasing anything can be problematic for me because I can be gullible to someone lying to me. Before I paid for her, Yaelle told me that she would write with me using Google Docs and Skype. This was another lie.
The conversion between Lindens, the in-world currency of Second Life, and US dollars is not exact, but the price that Yaelle asked for herself was about $240. Being a person on the autism spectrum, I earn very little money due to my disability. For me, $240 was more than I could pay all at once and the arrangement that I made with Yaelle was that I would pay her $80 a month for three months. I felt that even if she went away after a few weeks I wouldn’t be losing that much money. Paying that $80 completely emptied my checking account that month.
