| - Name, age, education, references? - Catherine O'Donnell, 19 years old, 12 years of schooling completed, discontinued studies in art history. - Why did you drop out of university? - My family has nothing left but debts after the stock market crash. The house was foreclosed on; we are penniless and homeless. That's why I'm applying to work for you as a housekeeper. - Do you have any experience with housekeeping? - No, Mrs. Ravenstone. We had staff for that sort of thing. - Hmm, so you're only suitable for simple tasks: cleaning, washing dishes, tending the heating system. Can you manage that? - I will do my best and learn quickly, Mrs. Ravenstone. - Good, then I'll give you a chance. The head housekeeper will show you around and give you your room. As you've already noticed, your shoes were removed upon entering the house. Everyone here goes barefoot. Over and beyond, the lowest-ranking servants wear no clothing above the hips. So, take off your shirt now! From now on, you will call me "Mistress." - Yes, Mistress! | - You're pretty to look at, Catherine. Take off your jewellery now, you can keep the necklace on. - Yes, Mistress. Why do I have to walk around bare-chested? - On the one hand, because I like the sight. The more important reason, however, has something to do with discipline: For misconduct, it uses whiplashes on the back and soles of the feet. Every evening, the head housekeeper presents me with a list of the staff who deserve the whip. I then carry out the punishment here with the dressage whip. When the long bull whip is due for serious misconduct, we naturally go into the garden. Kneel down now! - Yes, Mistress! Why am I being whipped now? I haven't done anything wrong yet! - Because it gives me pleasure. Since you questioned my actions without permission, you have now also provided a reason yourself. Let's get down on your knees! - Yes, Mistress... |
| .................................................................................................. | - Hmm, Catherine, it seems the delicate skin on your back isn't used to the whip. I'll have to tan it regularly to make it more resilient. I'll give you the remaining ten strokes on the soles of your feet. Why are they so dirty, even though you only took your shoes off when you came in? I think your first task will be to scrub the floors and clean the carpets. You can do that on all fours and save your swollen soles. |
| - So, Mrs. Greta Johanson, you would like to work as a harvest worker with us at the Cotton Farm. You should know that we do not hire people with criminal records. Of course, we could look at some papers for verification, but they could be just as fake as your name. We'll handle it pragmatically with this device: It's a lie detector that will tell me if you answer one of my questions untruthfully. You insert one of the electrodes into your pussy, and hold the other with both hands. Understood? - Yes, Madam, you can begin the questioning. - Good. How long did you attend school? - Not very long, and I don't have a diploma either. - Did you learn anything? - I only ever did various simple jobs. - Have you ever prostituted yourself? - No, Madam, never! - Have you ever been sentenced to prison? - No, I've never been in court. - Have you ever stolen anything? - Only something to eat when I was too hungry. - Your answers up to this point have all been true. So we can accept your name. - You can trust me, madam! Will I get the job now? - Well, one important question remains: Your back looks like it was systematically whipped, which could be the result of a formal order. What can you tell me about your whip marks? - Some time ago, I was wandering around Orborough County looking for work. The law enforcement officers there called me a vagrant and gave me a "warning" to get me out of the county. - Hmm, I know Orborough. Turn around! - Yes, madam. - It seems they've finally acquired a branding iron in the county to issue a receipt. "Orb'gh - TRMP" tells me that you only committed an administrative offense there, meaning you have no criminal record. The clerk responsible for enforcing the administrative offense also left a processing note: "LN" - isn't that Ellen by any chance? - Yes, ma'am, that was her name. - Very good, from a formal perspective, there's nothing to prevent you from being employed here. Report to Dr. Smith now for a medical examination. Here's your routing sheet - let's go! | - The basic physical examination is now complete, Mrs. Johanson. Your blood pressure and heart rate are normal, no skin diseases, no lice, and everything else is fine. Congratulations! - I'm very pleased, Dr. Smith! May I sign the contract now? - Not yet, the stress and endurance test is still missing. I want to know if you're physically fit and how you'd handle a few encouraging lashes. Report to the riding arena with your walking slip and say you're requesting the practical part of the medical intake procedure. - How does it work, Dr. Smith? - You'll be driven around the riding arena for an hour, carrying out instructions for various physical exercises. Don't be surprised if these aren't always possible, because there needs to be a reason to give you a few lashes. The forewoman will document the examination on your routing sheet. Report to my assistant in the next room immediately after the test. - Yes, Dr. Smith. |
| - It’s good that you were able to come by so quickly for an interview, Melanie. Now that you’ve met me and seen the house, would you still be interested in working here as a housekeeper? - Yes, I think I like it here. I could start right away. - In that case, we still need to discuss payment. There is a standard rate and a special rate. - What exactly is the difference? - Well, the standard rate pays 25 an hour and covers the usual household chores. - Now you’ve really made me curious about the special rate... - For the premium rate, you perform the same work barefoot and topless. Any lapses in duty will be punished with lashes from a whip. For 24/7 availability, you will be provided with a small staff apartment right here in the house. - Is that a riding crop over there? How is it used? - Strictly speaking, the whip is actually a sjambok, but yes, that is the instrument of corporal punishment. It is applied to the back and the soles of the feet. - And what wages can I expect for these... *extended* services? - That would be 8,000 a month — though I do have to charge 600 for the staff apartment; otherwise, the tax authorities would be all over me. - I’ll take the special job and put on my work uniform — or rather, take it off—to meet the requirements immediately. What task shall I begin with? - The whip is a bit dry. You’ll find a suitable leather conditioner under the sink. - I’m on it! | |
| - Welcome to Devour & Greed, Louise. - Thank you! I'd like to start here as a department head. - Do you have any references? - Here's my recent degree from the University for Affirmative Action in California. - What did you study? - Comparative Feminist Cultural Studies! - Hmm, perhaps we could start with a support role. Are you familiar with Excel? - Sure, Axel is a nice guy! What a coincidence that you know him too. - Hmm, can you make a coffee? - Sure, you put a cup under the machine and select the right buttons. It's a bit complicated, but I've got it down pat! - Louise, I think I have a position for which you are fully qualified. You can start right away. Please take off your t-shirt and shoes to get into your work attire. - What about the salary? - I'll tell you that when you've shown me how capable you are |
