[zelda_queen]

ZeldaQueen: All the same warnings as before, ladies and gentlemen! This chapter contains a detailed description of a twelve-year-old being strung up and forcibly stripped and tickled, while he makes it clear he doesn't consent!

The Test (Part 2)

“Are we going to get on with it then?” said Ben, sounding a great deal more confident that he felt.
“I like this boy” said Victoria placing her hand on Ben’s chest

Raxis: You've made that depressingly obvious, my dear >_>

ZeldaQueen: It's going to become extremely obvious that they "like" him in the sense that Christian Grey liked Anna Steele. Except that Benedict here is just as odious, without the incredible naivity of Anna

“I think we made the right decision inviting him to join our gang”

Raxis: (Bitchtoria): "He's just the kind of fucked up that we needed!"

“We haven’t seen what he’s made of yet” said Alison, quite thrilled now the real proceedings had started.

ZeldaQueen: Normally I'd make some comment like "what, do you think he's a homoculous?", but given how he's been acting, that might just be true

Raxis: (Emily): "Let's crack him open and see how his gears and wheels work!"

“Where shall we start?” asked Victoria.
“Are you ticklish?” asked Emily.

Raxis: I've noticed that Neil has a thing for tickling... It's not exactly premiere on the list of ordinary kinks.

ZeldaQueen: Yeah, it cropped up a lot in Hogwarts Exposed, those naked tickling sessions. Just be glad he's not indulging in his watersports fetish

“No” he replied sullenly
Emily brought a hand round his midriff and tickled him gently. Victoria tickled her fingers around the left side of Ben’s face and under his left ear lobe. Alison dug her fingers into his ribs.

Raxis: That last one hurts, for your information.

Ben gritted his teeth, and squirmed, swinging slightly on the end of the rope. His breath came in short gasps, sounding harsh as it rattled through his clenched teeth.

ZeldaQueen: Oh good, he's going to have a heart attack and die! :D

Raxis: Wow, this guy sucks if he's caving to this already.

Victoria smiled at him again and withdrew her hand from his face. She brought it down to his belt and tugged at his shirt that was slightly tented outwards, pulling it up and out of his trousers.
“What are you doing?” asked Ben fearfully.

ZeldaQueen: What do you THINK, dumbass?

Raxis: Oh, just what you should have seen coming from a mile away, my dear moron.

“This shirt’s a bit thick for tickling through Ben, so I thought I’d try some bare flesh.” Victoria replied, her hand now sliding inside his shirt, her fingernails tracing themselves gently up his tummy and chest, before sweeping to the side and down his left flank.

ZeldaQueen: "His left flank"? What, is he now a horse?

Ben let out an involuntary shriek.
“I think this boy’s ticklish.” said Victoria.

Raxis: Or he's actually a girl.

“Let’s get his shirt off” suggested Emily “then we can all have a go.”

Ben’s mind snapped back to a few days ago. A girl, lying nearly naked on the floor, shrieking, being tickled. They might have said to her: ‘Let’s get her shirt off.’ This was all too close for comfort. What were they going to do to him?

Raxis: He's awfully repellant to the notion of losing his shirt... I might be on to something with the girl theory.

ZeldaQueen: *snorts humorlessly* Not so fun when it's your ass on the line, is it, you little turd? Of course, given who the Stuthor is here, there's no hope of him doing something ridiculously like learning to sympathize with the girls, nope!

He fought for control, to compose himself, as he felt Emily’s hands undoing the buttons at the top of his shirt, and Victoria’s equally busy at the bottom. No, this is a test; that was a punishment.

ZeldaQueen: NEIL. STOP TRYING TO RATIONALIZE THIS. IT DOESN'T MATTER! THEY ARE STRIPPING HIM FOR THE SAME REASON THEY STRIPPED THE GIRL! IT IS A POWER PLAY, TO FREAK HIM OUT AND SHOW HIM THAT THEY'RE DOMINANT! IT'S NON-CONSENTUAL, AND IT SURE AS FUCK IS DISTRESSING HIM, SO IT'S THE SAME. DAMNED. THING!

She was pinned down on the floor; he was suspended from the ceiling. It was different. This is different. It’s not the same.

Raxis: Ergo, it is different.

ZeldaQueen: ... Neil's seriously grasping at straws to prove that this is a different scenario, isn't he?

They were just playing with him. It is just a game.

Raxis: (Colonel Campbell): "It's a game! It's a game, just like always!"

They were trying to scare him; they wouldn’t take his clothes off. Paul had said so.

Raxis: And you believe Paul. Hahahaha, you naive fool...

ZeldaQueen: Nonsense. These are clearly people to trust and hang around with! *feels ill*

Ben calmed himself down just in time for Victoria to pull his shirt open at the front.
“Might be easier if we pulled it up out of the way” suggested Emily.
“Good idea” replied Victoria “Paul?”
Paul got up and moved the chair again. Standing on it, he pulled Ben’s shirt up and tied it in a loose knot near his wrists, keeping it well out of the way.

ZeldaQueen: And the girls couldn't do this why, exactly? Were they so attached to tickling him that someone else had to come in to move the shirt out of the way?

Raxis: You know that Neil characters are focused fully on sex.

As Paul returned to his seat Victoria looked Ben in the eyes “You only have to tell us the secret Ben” she said “Do you want to tell us the secret?”

Raxis: When was Eggs told a secret Ben?

“You’ll never make me talk” he replied defiantly.
Victoria smiled at him again “I really do like you” she said, and Ben felt all warm inside, despite the cold draughty vulnerability he felt all over his exposed skin.

Raxis: Yup, nothing like a girl you like saying she likes you while she's stripping you.

ZeldaQueen: Nothing like a girl who enjoys trying to break you

“We should each concentrate on a different area” said Emily.

Raxis: (Mary Two): This corner over here looks fascinating!

“I like this bit here” said Alison enthusiastically as she drew her fingers across the bare flesh just above Ben’s belt, and then brought them around to circle his belly button. Ben’s tummy quivered and he tried to pull himself backwards away from this almost painful experience.

Raxis: Getting tickled is painful? Dude, you're a gigantic whimp.

ZeldaQueen: Ignoring that, Alison here has to be doing something to move this from annoying to painful. Given how the little twat has been acting, she's likely doing it on purpose. Thus, we have this kid cheerfully attempting to hurt a guy, and clearly is enjoying it. All, I might add, while making it clear that if he refused the initiation, she'd just do the same things to him anyway

Emily let her fingers loose on Ben’s right armpit, straying occasionally down his flank.

Raxis: When did Eggs become a cow?

Victoria just watched for a little while, studying Ben’s reaction. He wasn’t the most ticklish person they’d ever played with, but he was ticklish enough. She was sure they could reduce him to a blubbering mess if they were creative and took their time. But they didn’t want to do that.

Raxis: Screw water boarding, the government needs to look into tickling as a form of interrogation.

ZeldaQueen: Gotta love how methodical these twelve-year-olds are on how they break people's wills -__-

Victoria let Alison and Emily do their work, while she set about a different task. She placed a hand on Ben’s chest again, and stroked it, pausing briefly as she came into contact with his nipples. Pausing just long enough to squeeze them gently, or roll them between two fingers. Her touch was sensual, erotic, lingering, and it reached somewhere deep inside Ben, somewhere deeper than the tickling.

ZeldaQueen: SHE'S FOURTEEN, GOD DAMMIT!!!!

Raxis: Maybe she's a Succubus. No wait, I don't wanna insult the Succubi. Oh dear, we're hitting tl;dr territory up ahead.

He shrieked and squirmed and wriggled around in futile attempts to avoid their tickling, but the warmth of Victoria’s hands stroking him was driving him wild.

Raxis: Seriously, unless you're wildly ticklish, you wouldn't be having this sort of reaction.

ZeldaQueen: Um... I think the implication is that Benedict is having a very different sort of reaction to what Victoria's doing

She shifted one hand, from the front to the back, and stroked his shoulder, trailed a finger down his spine, and where his trousers had slipped a little, across the very top of his buttocks.

Raxis: Thanks for that, Neil, you sick fuck.

Simultaneously her other hand continued its work on his chest.

ZeldaQueen: Seriously? A fourteen-year-old girl is so well-versed in how to erotically stroke someone? This doesn't make me interested in her character, Neil. This makes me think she is sexually abused and needs to be put in a foster home

Victoria looked down at the front of his trousers, but was disappointed to see no obvious reaction. His jeans were too thick, and his erection likely too small.

Raxis: (bursts out laughing) Little Fruedian slip there, Neil?

She felt sad, and even a little angry.

ZeldaQueen: WHY? Why is she so bent on getting him aroused? Is she trying to do some sort of arousal torture?
...Okay, you know what? Fuck it. I'm going to script this next bit, because IT'S BAD, DAMMIT!

Victoria: *gropes the Hell out of Benedict's ass*

Neil: Allow me to describe in extensive detail how nice my Benedict's ass is. Did I mention that enough? It's just right for a young girl to put her hand around, and ladies looooooove stroking it!

ZeldaQueen: Go to Hell!

Raxis: They'd probably get offended and kick him out. It's the Dungeon Dimensions for him!

Benedict: GET AWAY FROM MY ASS! D: Dammit, why is everyone so interested in my rear? "No one had ever really paid any attention to his bottom before then. But recently, just this past year, he had noticed his mother had patted it occasionally and his aunts too, on the odd occasion even his father"

ZeldaQueen: O_O NO, NO, DO NOT WANT!

Raxis: (facepalm) Whyyyyyyyyyyyy...

Victoria: Want to tell us the secret yet?

Benedict: Hells no!

Emily: Let's tickle his legs!

Alison: Let's pull off his pants! :D

Raxis: What the fuck is up with these girls wanting to tickle him?

ZeldaQueen: *is beating her head against the wall, muttering dire threats*

Victoria: Eh, maybe we shouldn't do that...

Alison: I "complain" that at least he'll have underpants on, so that makes it all better!

Neil: SEE? IT DOES!

ZeldaQueen: NO, IT DOESN'T!

Raxis: Typical Neil shit.

Victoria: You have undieroos on?

Benedict: *stares "towards the bare flesh on Alison’s and Emily’s shins" and nods

Raxis: THEY'RE FUCKING PRE-TEENS, GOD DAMMIT, THEY'RE NOT FUCKING FILLED OUT, THERE'S NOTHING TO SEE, GAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! (explodes)

Victoria: Well, since he won't actually tell us what kind of underpants he has on, I'll just yank it up to see for myself. See, I'm kind and sweet and show "patronising" sympathy that way! *gropes around Benedict's waistline to examine underpants tag* There, isn't this fun? He's wearing boxers!

Emily & Alison: All systems a-go! :D

Benedict: No-go! D:

Everyone: *ignores him and begins to yoink off his pants*

ZeldaQueen: You know, as disgusting as this is, I'm finding it oddly satisfying. Not so much fun when you're on the stripping end, eh, Benedict? Of course, it's kind of marred by the fact that he won't actually learn anything from it, but a girl can dream, can't she?

Raxis: (respawns) And yes, I must agree.

“No don’t, please don’t. It’s not the same. It’s not the same at all” yelled Ben, tugging his wrists against his cuffs and the ropes in desperation. He knew though, there was no escape. Whatever they chose to do to him, he couldn’t prevent it.

Raxis: Eggs, you're getting just what you fucking earned. It's not the same? Oh yes it is; it's the same treatment those innocent girls got!

ZeldaQueen: Much like with that girl you cheerfully watched them molest? Or the girls that you've been dreaming about stripping? Karma's a right bitch, ain't she?

“Sshhh!” Victoria said “Be brave. You’ll be all right” tickling him under the chin again.

ZeldaQueen: Erm...I think it's painfully obvious here that grammer is taking the backseat to wanking, as far as Neil's concerned

“No I don’t want to, what if… I mean…” he spluttered.
“What if what, sweety?” asked Victoria “What if your pants come down by accident? They won’t, we’ll be careful.”

ZeldaQueen: (Victoria) "We'll be sure to pull them down on purpose!"

“But… what if…” Ben whined, trying not to cry.

Raxis: I do believe this is the first part of this fic I genuinely enjoyed. Says a lot about how much of a little mongrel Eggs is.

ZeldaQueen: It's a sign of what a little shit this kid is that I don't feel the slightest bit sorry for him

“What if we pull your pants down on purpose?” Victoria asked.

ZeldaQueen: Called it!

Ben didn’t respond, he just shut his eyes tight. Victoria stroked Ben’s cheek affectionately, remaining silent for the time being, to let the idea hang in the air for a little while.

ZeldaQueen: July in Christmas, and here I thought HE!Emily was a fille fatale!

“Paul promised” said Ben eventually.

Raxis: (bursts out laughing) You poor gullible chump.

“What did Paul promise?” asked Victoria.
“That you wouldn’t… that I wouldn’t have to be naked or anything” he said finally.

Raxis: And you believed him! It's still funny!

ZeldaQueen: *points and laughs* Ha-ha!

“Paul?” asked Victoria “Did you?”
“No, I didn’t.” said Paul firmly.
“You did… you bloody liar, you did, you… bastard” shouted Ben.

Raxis: Try puting some emotion into it.

“Ben calm down” said Paul “I didn’t say that. I said you wouldn’t have to strip. I didn’t say anything about anyone else stripping you.”

Raxis: He's being a douche for giving us a Jedi Truth, but I still love it! This is just what that little fuckwit Eggs deserves.

ZeldaQueen: ...And clearly, that makes all the difference. You see what I mean about these weak-ass justifications? That there sounds like something a villain would say before killing the love interest or whatever.
But nope, they're apparently supposed to be serious

Ben’s whole body welled up with terror and he shook violently with the force of it.

Raxis: *gets some popcorn* Want some, Queeny?

ZeldaQueen: Thanks! *noms*

Being naked in front of Paul alone would be terrible, but the girls, the three girls, that would be unimaginable, inconceivable.

Raxis: I think I was on to something with the small joke...

ZeldaQueen: *Spanish accent* I don't think that word means what you think it does

Raxis: Nice reference ;D

ZeldaQueen: The Princess Bride always helps! It certainly distracts from the double standards, like how Benedict here thinks it's oh-so-horrible to be naked in front of a girl, but stripping a girl in front of him is just dandy

“No… “ he yelled “Let me go, I don’t want to play any more.”

Raxis: Awwww, no fun no more? >:

ZeldaQueen: If he thinks this is "playing", God knows what he'll grow up to think actual sexual assault is! O_o

He struggled as violently as he could, trying to break free, trying to escape from the steel grip the cuffs maintained around his wrists.

Raxis: By all means, keep at it. Break your wrists.

“Ben, Ben, Ben, listen to me” said Victoria gently “Calm down. Come on.”
“I don’t want to calm down, I want to go home.” he said pathetically.

Raxis: (Eggs) "Sexual molestation isn't fun when it's me! T_T"

ZeldaQueen: Is it just me, or do you get the feeling that Neil is getting off on making Benedict all sobbing and
pathetic and helpless? This is just disturbing. I mean, on another plane than I've been disturbed already

“Paul didn’t lie to you. He just didn’t tell you the whole truth. He may have misled you, but he didn’t lie” she said, trying to placate him a little.

Raxis: (Bitchtoria): "He merely deceived and betrayed you, that's so much better than lying!"

“I couldn’t tell you the whole story” said Paul defensively “I couldn’t give away any gang secrets.”

Raxis: Oh fuck off, buddy, you know why you didn't tell him; Eggs wouldn't have ever come

ZeldaQueen: Maybe he would have. He's pretty desperate to see naked girls, after all

“He’s right” said Victoria “You know we can’t tell anyone gang secrets”

ZeldaQueen: WHY? You're not working for the fucking British Secret Service, you're children in a club!

“I don’t care” shouted Ben “I want to go home”
“Ben I told you this was going to be hard, didn’t I?

ZeldaQueen: (Benedict) "But I can't get hard when it's me being stripped!"
... I'm so dreadfully sorry

You have to be brave sweety.” said Victoria, then after a short pause: “I’ll make you one promise. None of us is going to pull your pants down, and you’re not going to have to either. Alright? That’s all I’m promising though.”

ZeldaQueen: *hollow laugh* You all can take bets on how long it is before that one is shot to Hell!

“Us? Who’s us? You three? What about him?” shouted Ben nodding violently towards Paul.
“Him included, he’s not going to either” said Victoria.

Raxis: *laughing* You're going to believe them, you dipshit? After they actively deceived you with word plays? All your brains are in your dick, you stupid fuck.

ZeldaQueen: You think he has any brains ANYWHERE in his body?

Raxis: Ah, point taken.

“There is no going home” said Emily “There’s only passing the test or failing it. You can stop at any time, just give us the secret and it’s all over.”

ZeldaQueen: You know, if Benedict had the brains of a dead trout, he'd be planning to tell the police all of this the instant he was released, passing the test or no. But of course, that won't be the case

Raxis: He'd be denied naked young girls.

“Then we can punish you, and we’ll definitely take your pants down” said Alison hopefully.

Raxis: This girl might just be the most fucked up person present, which is saying A LOT.

ZeldaQueen: Okay, I know they haven't talked about stripping girls, but this little bitch is seriously pissing me off. Raxis, care to post a pick of something to do to her?

Raxis: I think it's your turn, but I'll go if you like.

ZeldaQueen: Yeah, this can be our second tally. Every time Alison delights in molesting Benedict, we post a picture or video of what we'd like to see happen to her!

Raxis: Thanks to erikalyndis for giving me this idea;

Brendan Reed just died for your sins, Neil, I hope you're proud! >:U

“Alison, be quiet. He’s not going to give in he’s going to be brave. Aren’t you?” said Victoria encouragingly, stroking Ben’s cheek again.

ZeldaQueen: Neil, stop wanking! And why do they keep going on about him "going to be brave"? He's been crying and whining like a five-year-old since this thing began!

Raxis: A little off topic, but is Bitchtoria like the love interest here?

ZeldaQueen: One of them, I think. In Neil-world, any girl that holds still for long enough could qualify

“You promise?” asked Ben.
“Promise what darling?” asked Victoria.

ZeldaQueen: Apparently Victoria here has short-term memory loss. And there should be a comma between "what" and "darling", Neil. If you weren't so busy wanking, maybe you would have noticed that

“What you said” he replied.
“Yes, it’s a promise. But remember Ben, that’s all I’m promising, nothing else. It’s still going to be hard, and you’re still going to have to be brave.” Victoria said.

ZeldaQueen: *bellows* SHUT UP! WE GET IT! IT'S TOUGH AND HE'S GOT TO BE BRAVE! WE GET IT, NOW STOP REPEATING THAT!

Raxis: Seriously, what kind of fucker sits down one day and says, "Ok, we're going to create a secret society that involves drinking piss and then being sexually tortured for an extended period as an entrance requirement."?

ZeldaQueen: Apparently Neil, which says a lot about him. Namely that he's a psycho, but I guess we already knew that much

“Are you ready?” she asked.

ZeldaQueen: I'm not

Raxis: Luckily, we don't have to be! :D In true Neil fashion, the chapter just cuts off abruptly. Did Neil study with Airhead in the school of "how to end a scene"

ZeldaQueen: My guess is that he reached a different sort of climax and had to cut the chapter short so he could enjoy it

Raxis: Jeez, thanks for that one, Queeny ><

ZeldaQueen: You're welcome! And now, I want to die. x( See you next chapter, folks!

Raxis: See you, everyone!
