The Rickshaw
Brandy put her fingers around Emi’s dog-tag, lifting it up to examine it. “I like your permit. It looks cute dangling on you. So when can we start the project?” Brandy asked.
Emi frowned, stepping back, pulling the permit from Brandy’s fingers. “After Jake signs the contract and you get me my new home. I’m not planning to develop your app while being homeless,” Emi said, feeling exhausted and sticky. She was ready to leave. Thankfully it was dark out.
“There are three of us,” Ho said. “We need two rickshaws. I’ll go get someone to pull the other one.”
“Get Ben,” Emi suggested.
Ho stopped and turned to face Emi. “Alright Emi, I’ll see what I can do.” She said as if it was a big personal favor. She started typing into her phone.
Emi remembered the bag of phones. “I don’t think the guys have their phones… I have an idea,” she said, opening the door.
Raul fell backward into the room. He must have been leaning on the door.
Emi caught him. “Gotcha,” she said, his arm sinking into her tit.
He looked at her, all doughy-eyed. “You saved me!”
She took his drink and let him fall.
“Ouch!”
“Look Raul… have you seen Ben? Is he back yet?”
He got up and snatched his drink back.
“Ahh… no, wait… yes. He was up here with Liz a few minutes ago. They went back downstairs.”
“I have a mission for you. Find Ben, pronto, and have him meet us by the rickshaw tie-bars just outside. It’s really important. Can you do that for me?”
Raul saluted and took off. The other guys were mingling nearby, except Travis, the big white ghost. Upon seeing Emi, he spread his arms like a great eagle.
“What’s with the ghost?” Jake asked.
“He’s my good luck guardian,” Emi said, reaching up to pat his shoulder. “Travis, we are going to the elevator now,” she said, feeling uneasy about the idea of traveling through the busy room.
He got the message and stayed beside Emi, protecting her with his great arms. On the other side of Emi was the group. Being sandwiched in the middle wasn’t nearly as protective as last time, but it was better than nothing. The group didn’t seem to gather what was happening as they walked through the party to the elevator.
“No, you don’t have to go into the elevator, Travis. This is good. Thank you!”
He slump nodded.
Emi imagined that was his humble way of accepting praise. She gave him a warm smile as the elevator doors closed, trapping her in its tight confines with a group of people that bizarrely think she can boost island revenue by creating and testing a mailgirl app. And by testing, they meant becoming a mailgirl.
“I’m so excited Emi… I can hardly wait for Sarah to start your training… You know what? You already have a smartwatch watch on. How about we do a little pretend trial run?”
“Not on your life, Brandy. I’ll start when the contract starts, and not a second before.”
“Yeah, Brandy… have some patience,” Jake agreed. “You got what you wanted. Quit trying to rub Emi’s nose in it.”
The elevator stopped on the third floor and a half-drunk mushroom-headed young fellow squeezed into the already packed elevator. It was warm and uncomfortable. What kind of costume was that? He literally looked like a penis. Emi was unseen at the back but felt everyone shift even closer to her. They were almost touching her. As if nobody wanted to be anywhere near the dick-head.
The doors opened and mushroom-head stepped out but then stopped, looking confused. He turned around and headed back towards the elevator, only to comically turn back, gawking at Emi as she trailed the group as they exited the elevator.
Feeling eyes on her ass, she glanced back, giving him a look.
The elevator doors closed, bumping into him, breaking him from his stupor.
The group passed through the hallway, the main floor leading outside through the main doors of the building. It was the first time Emi had used this entrance. It was entirely too bright. Her running shoes! Thinking quickly, she spun around and ran back, down the stairs, grabbing her running shoes from the locker.
The dev room was empty, except for Liz. She was leaning back on a chair, facing the other way, with her arms behind her back.
“Oh Liz…” Emi said, running up to her. She got down on one knee, taking her arm, feeling like the worst person on earth. “I’m so sorry Liz!”
Liz put her arms down and turned to face Emi. “Haha… you don’t have to look like that Emi. It’s all good… stop it. You’re going to make me cry!” she laughed.
“I… ahh…”
“No stop it… Ben’s a dimwit. He always was and always will be. But he’s my dimwit and we… we… will always be friends,” she said, unable to hide her pain.
Emi could see that she seemed to not harbor a grudge for what happened. That was an enormous relief, but she felt bad for her pain. She felt guilty.
Liz lifted up her chin. “He said that best friends are forever,” she said proudly. “And that girlfriends come and… I mean…”
Emi nodded. Yes, it’s true. “Girlfriends come and go.”
“I didn’t mean to… “
Emi nodded. “That’s okay… I’m not entirely innocent… I’m sorry Liz. I’m sure I’ll pay for my crimes,” she said, thinking darkly about where her life was headed.
“No. It’s not you! Except for your nakedness, you are the most brave and innocent person I know!”
“Yeah… except for my nakedness,” Emi winced, wishing she could tell her everything.
The door banged open. It was Ben. “Emi! Let’s go… everybody’s waiting. Are you trying to get me fired here?”
“Shut up, we are having some girl talk here!” Liz yelled.
Ben grabbed the back of his neck in frustration, frantically looking around and then finally to the heavens for divine help.
Liz giggled at his exasperated reaction.
Emi couldn’t help but smile as well. She gave Liz a quick hug, got up, and ran over to him.
He looked into her eyes. “Hey…” He said, looking serious.
Emi saw a whole lot in that little hey. She wanted to kiss him so badly. “Hey nothing…” she said, slapping the back of his head. “Let’s go!” And she ran out the door, leaving behind Liz’s delightful laughter.
Up ahead Emi saw the group hanging out in the dark, around the rickshaws. She stopped and bent over, pulling on her running shoes. A hand glided across her ass. “Hey…” she said, out loud to Ben. She saw some heads turn her way. “Grab the rickshaws Ben,” she said, looking back at everyone. Reaching back down to lace up her shoes she suppressed a grin. The gall of the boy, touching her like that.
Ben strutted up to the rickshaws.
Wang and Sarah said their goodbyes to everyone while Jake, Brandy and Ho stood around, watching Emi walk up to them.
Jake got into one of the rickshaws while Ho and Brandy chatted about the resorts on the island. Emi decided to take Jake’s rickshaw, eager to get going she gripped the handles, feeling the cool corrugated metal grips in her hands. Feeling the need to warm up, she started to bounce a little, almost running on the spot. It had been so long since she had gone running.
“My rickshaw is raring to go,” Jake said, excitedly.
Emi ignored the comment, taking a deep breath. She was glad that Ben was here. Soon they would be running together. She continued to shake her legs out. She wanted to stretch, but not with Jake watching. She wanted to hurry before someone walked by.
Brandy’s short body bounded towards Ben. “OooOohh. This must be Ben… looking good Ben! YOU can give me a ride,” she laughed, looking him up and down.
“Ho, can you join me?” Jake asked. “I think we need the extra weight, Emi’s raring to go!”
Emi felt Ho climb into her rickshaw and sit down. Looking briefly back at Ben, she saw him watching her. That felt good. She was on his mind. Before Ho could say anything, she started running, pulling the cart along behind her.
“Thanks for the ride Ho”, Jake said.
“No problem at all Sir,” Ho replied.
Emi fumed, as she ran naked through the darkness. Like as if this was any sweat off of Ho’s back.
“It’s pretty dark out here. Can Emi even see where she’s going?” Jake asked, sounding worried.
“Oh right. I can fix that. These rickshaws have night lights. Where is that button…”
A pair of lights blasted Emi, similar to car headlights. She lit up like a Christmas tree.
“Oh wow… you can see everything now,” Jake said.
Emi felt the urge to just drop the handles and run away. People could probably see her now for miles. She felt a surge of adrenaline hit her body.
“Emi here… ahh… seems like she’s in great shape,” Jake observed.
“Yes. She jogs every day.”
Not any longer I don’t she thought, bitterly. Looking around a bit to see if anyone was out here watching her naked show. She practically had a spotlight on her.
“Does Emi even like being nude?”
“Actually yes, Jake. She does. There is a bit of a story behind that.”
“Is that so. Can you tell me the short version?”
“Yes of course… umm… you see… a few weeks ago Emi was running along a private beach and had an accident. And well… Su-Ning happened to be nearby and literally saved her life, so to speak. Emi was nude at the time and so Su-Ning offered Emi a Resort Ambassador position and Emi eagerly accepted. So Emi is certainly interested in Nudity. They became fast friends after that. Despite all that Emi still owes Su-Ning quite a lot and I’m sure she’s very happy for this chance that you are giving her to help Su-Ning with her struggling resort.”
“Still… her heart didn’t seem in it today.”
“That’s my fault Jake. I ahh… pushed her a little hard recently and when trying to make amends today I accidentally had all of her clothing donated to charity. It was entirely my fault.”
Emi squeezed the handles in anger and shock. She thought of Bo. That was HER clothing? That was her clothing! Emi was pissed.
“I can see how that would be upsetting. But how could that happen accidentally?”
No shit. Was it even an accident? She felt upset at the loss of all of her favorite clothing. Then fear hit her… her gut lurched. Oh my god. ALL of my clothing?!
“Well I wanted to surprise her with her clothing today, so I delivered it to her as an anonymous package of ‘lost and found clothing’. I told the delivery boy that if she didn’t accept the package personally, that he is to donate it to charity. I honestly thought this would guarantee that she took the package as I know that she was struggling with the 24/7 nudity that she was doing recently.”
Emi processed what Ho was saying. It was bullshit. Why her clothing? It’s not like she can’t buy more. What’s the point? She felt sorrow at the loss of her stuff. That bathing suit was a memento of her time with the girls in Hawaii.
“Wait… so she DOES have a problem with all the nudity?”
“No… it was just the nudity outside of the nude resort that she was struggling with. Which is why I decided to cancel that condition of her contract today. However… that’s where she surprised me. She actually declined the package, and even showed up to the meeting as a naked mailgirl!”
“Yes that was quite the entrance,” Jake admitted.
“Yes, it was. The company will pay her back for the clothing loss, but as you know, people bring their favorite things on work vacations and so she is probably quite pissed at me.”
You got that right, bitch! She was glad that they couldn’t see her face.
“That explains some of it, but she also didn’t seem to like the mailgirl duties aspect.”
“Emi’s a bit shy. She hates for people to know about her mailgirl fetish. So when she got caught on camera and it became a scandal she was both horrified and felt bad for the effect the scandal was having on the resort. Basically, her fetish hurt the company… and thus… her friend Su-Ning.”
“I like that this deal is basically turning the scandal into a positive. It’s helping both Emi and Su-Ning,” Jake added.
“Exactly. But not only that. It’s helping push Emi with her fetish as well. She won’t admit it yet, but bringing her private mailgirl obsession to the next level, has her a little nervous, but it’s also exciting to her as well. It’s a fetish dream come true!”
“haha… this all sounds entirely too good to be true. Emi… is this all true?”
Realizing that Jake had just spoken to her, Emi tried to suppress her anger and think of what to say. She couldn’t say Ho was lying. Especially before he signed the contract. She had to swallow her pride and take a bullet for Su-Ning. Besides, how on earth could she deny those allegations? She was in all the newspapers and she obviously cared about Su-Ning.
“Ahh… I’m not going to answer that Sir,” she replied, dodging the question, feeling shame rise up through her body as she ran along the brightly lit path. She wondered if any of that was partially true. She looked up ahead, peering into the bleak darkness, feeling like she was falling down the rabbit hole.
“Brandy seems to think this office delivery testing is more important than even the app. But I heard that the devs were banned from the resort for a week. Will Emi at least be stationed in the same office building until the new year?”
“Yes… I’m thinking that would be wise,” Ho agreed. “I’ll extend the dev ban. They should be on site until the new year, at least.”
“That sounds great, but will Su-Ning agree to that?”
Emi stomped her feet along. Feeling like she was outside of her body as she heard what Ho was saying. That’s right bitch. Su-Ning will never agree to any of this! And you better have not touched my clothing!
“Yeah, unfortunately, Su-Ning likely has no choice in the matter.”
“Why is that?”
“Well, in order to secure this highly unusual travel permit, that Emi insisted on, Sarah and I had to get creative when we hit a roadblock regarding Emi’s job description.”
“Do tell.”
“It seemed the council was not inclined to approve the permit as Emi’s job description suggested that she was supposed to be stationed inside the resort, not the marketing building.”
“How did you get past that?”
“Well after brainstorming I came up with the new ‘Resort Host’ position that Lucy now holds. That position is to help new guests adjust. However, an Ambassador, by definition, is a position ‘outside’ of whatever they represent. An external position to represent the values of our resort to the rest of the world.”
Emi didn’t like where this seemed to be headed.
“So when we had to fill in an official job description of a Resort Ambassador, we leaned heavily upon the Ambassador aspect and described all duties as being off-site. Of course, that wasn’t enough. Sarah shrewdly mentioned that Wang’s own paper has already shown pretty much all of Emi’s nudity already to the entire island. Sarah insisted that since Wang was indirectly involved that it’s only fair that Wang weighs in on the approval process of this special experimental permit. Wang, you see, sits on the council and has a lot of power.”
“Isn’t Wang a competitor? Why would she allow this? Wouldn’t it just result in a lot of extra publicity for Su-Ning’s Resort?”
“At the time, Wang didn’t know about our mailgirl app initiative, and how popular it could potentially be. But she knows about Emi.”
“Wang probably thought she could sell more newspapers.”
“Exactly. But we were still surprised at how easy it was to convince her to consider it. She agreed only after Sarah suggested that we avoid revisiting this and just make the permit for the entire town.”
Emi almost stumbled upon hearing that.
“But Wang said it was easier to just make it for the entire island. Less paperwork. You don’t have to define borders and areas of violation.”
“The entire island? That’s amazing.”
“However… there are still a couple of restrictions. She can’t go within a block of an elementary school and she has to stay out of churches.”
“That should be easy.”
“Yep… but knowing Emi, that won’t be a problem. Likely she will stay in the building. She’s not so confident being nude outdoors, believe it or not. I’m so glad that we got Lucy now, she’s absolutely fantastic with the guests. She is quite a bit more extroverted than Emi and she’s doing a much better job. Thanks to Wang we get to make this permanent.”
“That’s perfect. Brandy wants our mailgirl testing to be realistic. We have a lot riding on this. How do you mean, permanent?”
“Oh, I only mean with regard to the job description change. Su-Ning will understand that we had no choice. Emi INSISTED on getting the permit and it required a job description change to get it. And Wang wouldn’t sign off until we officially registered the ‘Resort Ambassador’ job description details with the courts. She said it was to make it all legally binding and such.”
Emi’s blood ran cold. That bitch. What Ho meant by courts is really the department of corrections. Su-Ning might not be able to reverse this. How miserable! With Ho’s current dev ban, locking her and her teams out, and her 24/hour nudity, altogether this could leave her stranded naked outside of the resort. Sure, she might visit sometimes on official Ambassador business, but for the most part, she was exiled. No more daily runs on the resort’s beach. No more super safe environment. Most likely, she was going to be trapped in the marketing building. She looked to the ocean in desperation, wishing she could pull Ho into the water and drown the wretched creature.
“That sounds great, Ho. Everyone gets what they want.”
“We agree on that,” Ho said, laughing. “We need Emi to properly represent the resort and also complete her mailgirl training.”
“Don’t you mean app testing?”
“Same thing,” Ho laughed. “As you can see by the 13’s on her body, she can hardly wait. This is practically her fantasy come true. All of our interests are in alignment. My interests, your interests, Emi’s interests, Wang’s interests and it helps the resort. And with your ships, likely the whole island. So I think Su-Ning will be onboard with this as well… because, thanks to you, she is about to be in high standing with all the resort owners on the island.”
“That sounds wonderful,” Jake said as they pulled up to the open gate.
Bo and Lucy were standing there. Bo with just a loincloth and Lucy was fully naked but for her pink tie in her ponytail and her bright pink shoelaces on her white platform running shoes. Her lack of public hair only made her look younger, completing the look.
Emi let go of the rickshaw handles and watched as Lucy bounced over to take them from her. At least she was out of the spotlight now. Emi couldn’t believe how much the lights had lit up Lucy. She was glowing. The extra light on her body was making the young woman look around in concern. Emi didn’t feel any sympathy for her. Soon Lucy would be safely back on the resort grounds. Emi envied her.
Ben pulled up with Brandy in his rickshaw.
Bo took the handles from Ben. “Hey Buddy…”
“Hey Bo…” Ben replied.
Emi walked up to Ho beside the rickshaw. “Ma’am may I have a word with you?”
Ho looked over to Jake. “No Emi, I’m busy now…”
Jake waved her off. “Go ahead Ho, Brandy and I will take this one,” he said, waving to Lucy as she took a firm grip of the handles. “I mean… if she’s strong enough to carry the both of us?”
Ho and Brandy climbed out of their rickshaws.
“Yes, Sir… no problem Sir!” Lucy said as Brandy climbed aboard with Jake.
“See them to their rooms, Lucy, it’s late and they must be tired,” Ho instructed.
“Will do Ma’am,” she said, taking off. Bo stood by, waiting to pull Ho in his own rickshaw.
Ho looked to Emi and waved her to follow as they slowly sauntered away from Bo and Ben.
“So I can wear clothing outside of the resort now?”
“Look Emi, about that. I want to apologize for everything that happened since the fire pit. I was out of line to really push you like that.”
Emi watched silently.
“I truly was going to free you today.”
“Going to? So what now?” Her heart sank.
“Emi… I’m not going to sugarcoat this. What is happening now is a BIG DEAL. And it’s saving ALL of our asses. What I said at the firepit was in a fit of anger. But look at you now. You showed up at the meeting as a naked mailgirl! It couldn’t have gone any better.”
Emi watched her silently. Waiting for the “But…”
You must be glad how all this turned out. Somewhere, under all that resentment that you have for me, there must be some joy for how this is helping the resort. Right?”
“Ah… yes…” Emi said, still waiting for the but.
“What happened at the firepit was wrong. I admit it. I was out of line and I regret it.”
Emi continued to wait for the but.
“However… look, I have decided to extend the 24/7 nudity until the new year. I think it will help…”
Emi was hit hard by this new revelation. On top of everything else, now she had to be nude for another two whole months? It was too much, and she whimpered, “But Ho…”
Ho just shook her head.
Emi had to step away for a moment. She faced the dark ocean, leaving Ho behind her. She wanted so bad to give Ho a piece of her mind but didn’t want to escalate things like last time. She needed to cool off. Thinking of her clothes, she headed towards the closed gate and found that her watch didn’t work.
“Plus, as you heard, the dev ban onsite was also extended… at least until the new year,” Ho said.
Breathing heavily, unable to bite her tongue any longer, Emi looked back over her shoulder. “That’s TWO MONTHS! You want to extend my nudity for two months, OFFSITE?!”
“Well… at least two months. I believe this will help you focus on the mailgirl app. I really do. Plus it will keep things simple and focused at the resort as we get our sea legs. We all need to focus now. Logically, you know I’m right.”
Emi faced her, holding her head in horror. “But what about my Resort Ambassador duties?”
“Look Emi, as you now know, those duties have been transferred to Lucy as ‘Resort Host’ duties. Your new Ambassador duties are yet to be defined. This whole thing is still very fluid. But don’t worry. I’ll make sure to keep your new Ambassador duties very light as I know you will be very busy for the next while.”
New Ambassador duties? Emi was literally in a nightmare.
“Make sure that you do good, okay? Don’t cross Ruth. Now that you are living outside of the resort starting next week she will join me with making monthly reports to community services.”
Emi’s eyes grew wide. “Does Ruth know about my community service?”
“Not yet, but she will next week.”
Emi was beyond stunned. She was paralyzed.
Ho hugged her. “I’m sorry Emi, but it’s all going to work out.”
Emi didn’t hug her back. She couldn’t move. Too much information to process. Like a computer, she froze.
“Fact is Emi, when you commit to something… you are unstoppable. You are single-handedly saving the resort. Su-Ning and I are in your debt. Hell, the whole island will soon be in your debt. You should be proud.”
Emi didn’t respond.
Ho turned and walked back to Ben. Emi turned and followed stiffly, the light from Bo’s rickshaw blasted the gate. It was mesmerizing.
“Please take her back to the marketing building. It’s been a tough night for her and she’s been drinking. Take good care of her. The entire island depends upon her now.”
“Say what?” Ben asked.
“Just take her, get her safely to bed,” Ho said, climbing aboard the rickshaw. She triggered the gate to open.
“Will do!” Ben said, moving next to Emi.
After Bo and Ho passed through the gate, it closed behind them, locking Ben and Emi out.
“I guess we have to walk back,” Ben said, looking at the gate.
Emi didn’t respond. She was overwhelmed. All she could do was listen to the sound of the rickshaw, on the other side of the gate, rolling further and further away.
Readerman, so was that a bait and switch about Emi not becoming a Mailgirl, and now she has signed the contract? So Emi has a metal tag travel permit on a string, will that get transferred to a leather or metal collar like a Mailgirl? Is Ho alluding to Emi being required to be naked everywhere on the Island? It’s starting to sound like it.With the Confessions of a Mailgirl story being required as the guideline, when does Emi find out she has to shave her pussy bare everyday? The house that Emi demanded, that Brandy must supply, if it is up to Brandy, might she have one built, instead of buying one? Would it be mostly of glass for viewing 360 degrees around with a viewing area just outside the house or built-in web cameras? You know for the Mailgirl experience. Will Emi be allowed running shoes outside and barefoot in the buildings? Since Emi is naked throughout the Island, will they test the deliveries out in town? What will the resting mats design look like? Will Sarah spank or cane Emi if she doesn’t comply with the training, or get too many demerits? With all the Mailgirl training will Emi start to become submissive? When not working at her computer will Emi be required to kneel on the floor? Eat out of a bowl on the floor?
I’m pretty sure that no caning was in ‘Confessions of a Mailgirl’ (The training manual). As to the rest, if it’s in the manual, then yes. If it’s not in the manual, but permit related, or outside related, or house related, then we will find out as the story progresses.
I also don’t recall any caning in Seahawks book. But as Emi only read the beginning of the book she is probably not aware of the whole extent of the submissive mindset required by a mailgirl. She will be in for quite a surprise during Sarah’s training.
As far as eating from bowls on the floor, caning, spanking or things like that, I personally think this would stretch the believability of the story a bit too much.
Bait and switch? Not at all. In that other comment with you, I was just hinting that Ho wouldn’t be the cause of Emi’s big decision. Giving you a chance to speculate further. Ho might have made things worse, but she didn’t get Emi to sign. Emi might allow herself to play around sometimes, but with important stuff she takes things very seriously and makes her own decisions.
Wow, so many questions. Haha… you are like exploding with questions. I guess that means that you liked the chapter? Let me ask you a question. What were your favorite parts? (You can only pick 3 things)
1. Emi fighting back by negotiating and being a tough negotiator.
2.Ho surprising Emi with the cart lights.
3. And Ho telling all those lies about Emi to Jake and Emi not being able to say anything to correct it because Jake hasn’t signed and it might jeopardise the deal.
But it sure got me thinking of all the possibilities, especially since you let it slip that Emi didn’t read all of Seahawk’s story, but agreed to that stipulation of following Seahawk’s story as a guidline. I think Emi is in for some rude awakenings.
Like a true Mailgirls story the main character is roped into the deal.
Part of this story is inspired by Mailgirls, but what motivated you to come up with this story. It’s brilliant, on the same scale as Seahawk’s. The believable factor is off the scale. No other way could a Mailgirl app actually be developed in real life but with a fetish nudist group at a resort.
With the “I’m offended culture” in overdrive, it couldn’t happen in real life. But fetish tourist, just maybe it could happen.
Thanks orflash64. I’m glad that you liked that Emi’s tough fight and negotiating. She did pretty good for a shy software developer, eh? That’s a favorite for myself as well. She even nocked Brandy back on her heels a couple times. I was proud of her.
Yeah, the bright lights, good choice. That certainly shocked her. She wouldn’t have given the ride if she had known.
I think Ho is enjoying this turn of events to help the resort. She’s a pragmatic opportunist and probably believes most of what she is saying. But you never can tell with Ho.
Yes, Emi doesn’t yet realize everything she’s signed up for. That’s probably a good thing as she’s kinda maxed out at the moment. I’m glad that she has a lot of support in her corner. She’s going to need it.
Seahawk’s writing abilities are off the charts, but my own writing ability is gradually growing. That’s all I can hope for. Steady growth.
I just started with some plot ideas that I liked and then started writing.
Thanks for reading everyone. Now you know why I split it up my really big Halloween chapter, and also why didn’t want to. There is one more little chapter after this, next Saturday (the 13th). And then we will be all caught up with Halloween. Let me know if you do not like the current direction. Not liking it probably means that you care a lot about Emi and I like to know that as well.
Well yeah we care about Emi but I like Emi being pulled out of her shell. She doesn’t want to do things but is made to do them by circumstance. Look how much she has grown since leaving Seattle.
If Emi wasn’t forced to experience things outside her comfort zone, all she would do in life is sit at computer desk and run. That’s not a full life.
Emi is really experiencing life now and all it’s unexpected turns.
Great answer orflash64. You are right. She has grown a lot. Thanks for responding. I can see that you are firmly in the approval category for this new direction. haha…
I don’t think that Ho is in any way friendly towards Emi although she pretends to be in this chapter. First the thing with Emi’s clothes, which she organized in a way that they were bound to be donated to charity. Emi apparently has no clothes left at all. Although Ho pretends to regret what happened at the firepit, she doesn’t remove the clothing ban; she even extends it to at least two months, with a made-up reason. And she changed her community service duty to outside the resort. And she managed to get a Nude Travel Permit for the whole Island. I am sure this will be used for delivering things to Wang for example. Emi has to watch Ho, nothing good will come from her.
–
Interesting was the things Ho told Jake about Emi. I don’t think Ho was consciously lying. I think she actually believes this. Japanese or Chinese people are generally quite conservative about nudity. Seeing Emi and her team playing these nude games like mailgirls or pulling a rickshaw at the beginning of the story, I think the only reasonable explanation for Ho is that this must be a fetish for Emi. I don’t think Ho can imagine anything else.
–
Additionally, Ho and Ruth will in the future make the monthly community service reports together. This will give Ruth additional, immense power over Emi.
Yeah, Ho isn’t an angel. Definitely not a people person and Emi isn’t on her favorites list. But she is good at managing resort business and needs. I’m not sure that she has a lot of time for pretending. She extended the dev ban on the fly when Jake asked about it during the ride. Emi’s permit stuff was mostly Sarah and Wang, but Ho’s not entirely innocent. Ho takes this deal very seriously. She probably decided that nudity goes well with the mailgirl thing and the new definition of Resort Ambassador. It was probably nothing personal, but she might be enjoying the power she has a little too much. The fact that Emi doesn’t seem to like her own fetish is probably just an amusing side bonus.
Yes, it was quite a hit to Emi to find out all this AFTER she signed the deal. Once she wakes up and clears her head, she will likely fret over the Ruth thing as well. However, so far seems like Ruth might be preferable to Ho.
Thank you ReaderMan for your answers. That’s a great story you’re making. I like the direction it’s going in. Great scenes in general with Halloween, how the numbers 1 and 3 appear, how the leash is put on Emi, how she gets rid of her clothes, how she goes up to the office, negotiations and how she pulls the rickshaw to the resort, where she remains outside the gate. Just great, well done Readerman.
I can see Ben putting the leash back on Emi playfully in the next line. And how Emi says in response that she is now his and only he can take it off. Then they walk alone along the coast, love, sex. Then Emi starts talking about Liz and Ben calls her, and then they meet with Liz. Then they all go home to Ben. Emi feels guilty towards Liz. Ben sets the lock on the leash and now really only he can take it off from Emi and passes the leash to Liz. Liz and Emi spend the night at Liz’s. And on Sunday, Emi serves Liz, doing housework, cooking food, etc. On Monday, they all go to work and only there Ben takes the leash off Emi and returns it to Liz.
Then the next moment, Brandy buys Emi’s apartment, but keeps the keys with her for a while, making Emi homeless until Emi creates an app (her own trap) or even five years later or forever.
Further, there is no salary in the contract for Emi and she will work for free on this project.
There is another interesting point about Mailgirl. After a while, this may develop into a ServiceGirl. Where a girl can not only carry mail, but also do cleaning in the office, wash windows, floor in corridors, paint fences, remove garbage from the street, cutting grass, unloading boxes, etc. But I think Emi can get through it all and the end will be good.
And as usual, you have the last word. These are my guesses and suggestions. Thanks.
I’m very glad that you are enjoying the developments pavel_ser. You have interesting ideas about what might happen next. I am enjoying to see what you imagine and wish for. So far others have wished for a ponygirl sideline, but now we have a servicegirl added to the mix. I’m glad that you are enjoying the Ben and Liz antics as well. I have a lot to think about as I map out the next few chapters. I liked your reminder of the apartment, but do you think homeless is better than a daily commute to work? I guess it is kind of hot with Emi sleeping in the server room.
“…but do you think homeless is better than a daily commute to work?”
Of course, having a home is better than being homeless. But in the case of Emy, I think she should go through with it. She can sleep as in the server room so with friends. I remembered the story “What a girl do ready for love” and there she was without a home and lived with friends and in the end everything was fine. She coped and Emy will cope it too, the main thing is to have friends.
“What will a girl do for love.” Yes, Molly’s story was a wonderfully fun example of being naked and homeless. And yes, it’s sexy having Emi in the server room. However, Emi fought hard for that point in the deal and so she will want it. If they want a mailgirl app and a tester, then Emi needs to get her appartment.
I thought it was a house requested, not a apt? I think Emi will get the house, but not quite what she was hoping for. Like privacy. People will be watching in some way or another.
It was an apartment.
I am very much looking forward to the following chapters, especially about Emis’s training by Sarah. Here he can tell the story from a third-person view like in all the chapters before, but it would also be possible the tell about the events of the daily app testing / training by describing the interview with Brandy or just by publishing the daily report itself.

Obviously, I don’t know what ReaderMan is planning and I always trust that he is choosing the best approach, but I think for a writer this is an ingenious starting position.
Haha… I’m enjoying your speculation. I’ll resist sharing any spoilers. But yes, there is a lot of potential for creativity for a writer here.
So if it’s an apt, then they could build it right in the basement of the office building. Again it could resemble the Mailgirls quarters of Seahawk’s story with a one way (from Emi’s side) (peeping view on the other)viewing mirror that others can watch Emi get ready for the day.
I doubt a building will be built. Brandy is itching to start right away and likely doesn’t want to pay more than she has to. She might like to fantasize with you about those ideas, but Brandy’s smart and she doesn’t want to freak out Emi right out of the gate. She wants this project to be successful.
If it’s a apartment, will they build it in the basement of the office building? Or an unoccupied floor at the top of the office building? Will it be close to where Emi works? Or a long naked jog to work?
Build what? It’s just a normal pre-existing apartment for Emi to live at. It has nothing to do with mailgirls or construction of any kind. The only thing potentially interesting might be traveling to and from the residence.
Well that’s what I was inquiring about. I said house and one of the readers said, not house apartment. So then I was curious if it was going to be in the office building, like the Mailgirls stories.
The trip from Emi’s place to work does sound interesting. Will she be rickshawing it there with someone on the way to work? That could be some interesting times on the commute.
It would be funny if they found on the main street of town an old showroom-type building with glass walls on three sides. Inside it they could build a completely open plan room, with a shower, toilet, sink, and bed, with absolutely no privacy. Then they could either go the mailgirls room route and line the glass walls with 1-way mirrors, or leave them as is so Emi could see she was being watched, whichever would humiliate her more.
You guys can hardly wait to progress to a full-fledged mailgirl world… haha… when Seahawk’s story started, he had two full-time mailgirls. Their changing room was a utility closet without any windows. And Danica livid in a normal apartment and came to work each day fully dressed. And that was a super-rich company.
Emi currently is a 24/7 naked software developer, who is making a mailgirl app, working for a business that is struggling. But she’s contractually obligated to do real mailgirl testing 90 min a day. She will be given a nearby (completely normal) apartment, but how will she commute? Will she have furniture? Will she have good water pressure? Will she have a balcony? Will she buy a treadmill? Unfortunately, there will be lots of privacy. I mean, unless she has nosey neighbors.
Hey Seahawk stopped writing, there’s a Mailgirl story vacuum right now. It so rare for fresh perspective of someone becoming a Mailgirl. Especially one that didn’t read the whole story. The surprises or rude awakenings will be priceless.
With the regular Mailgirl stories there was a certain level of suspension of disbelief. This one is based in reality, they know they are bringing fantasy into reality and have the power to enforce the story fantasy in the real world on a little Island. That’s what makes this special. You really struck gold with your story idea Readerman.
Or she doesn’t know and later finds a web site for pay per view and her Seattle buddies are subscribers.
I’ll move this comment to here… where is is less of a spoiler. Replying to arthwys from the first chapter.
Of course Su-Ning wanted to push Emi towards accepting the deal. Saying those pressure things, plus what else could the young CEO do? Perhaps getting Emi to agree to try to ‘save the deal’, but NOT do the mailgirl testing/training was manipulative, in that Su-Ning probably knew that was unlikely to be possible without that component. So thus putting Emi in an impossible all or nothing situation with only one way to save the deal. Still, I like to think that Su-Ning was fighting for a win… for everyone. She knows Emi says that she doesn’t like the mailgirl stuff (that she always seems to be doing). She knows that Emi was experimenting with nudity outside before she was arrested. She knows Emi hosted a firepit party outside the resort where she got naked, all on her own. She knows that Emi was in the marketing building naked before, of her own free will. She knows that Emi looks up to Becca for being brave about nudity. So it’s not black and white. Su-Ning might seem selfish, but she’s human, and at the end of the day she not only saved the deal, saved her resort and family, helped the island, made Wang an ally, but she also strengthened her friendship with Emi. It was perhaps a heroic feat for the young woman to accomplish, especially while offsite in Mexico trying to save her father. What she said was the truth, was it also manipulative? Probably that too.
When I thought about Su-Ning’s behavior again, I completely agreed with you. People and their behavior are a complex thing with all their good and not so good character traits. Describing this in your story is a sign of a good writer because you don’t just have simple, black and white characters.
It’s interesting to mention the occasions when Emi involuntarily got naked. Involuntarily? Maybe Su-Ning saw through Emi when she said to her that sometimes it turns strong people on to act submissive. But I don’t think Emi would admit that. The polygraph interviews will be interesting; Emi can lie to herself, but I doubt she can lie to a polygraph. Emi can learn a lot about herself here.
I think those were the ‘voluntary’ times. Emi made the call each time in these cases. Also keep in mind that Su-Ning pressed Emi very hard to NOT BE a Resort Ambassador. Yes, the polygraph might be interesting.
Voluntary/involuntary
I got mixed up here. Forgot my comment above.
I like how Emi actively negotiates her contract. In character for her, but you don’t see that smart behavior in a lot of mailgirl stories. I remember some where the prospective mailgirl signs over her power of attorney, which basically allows the company to rewrite her contract at will. (Even though I’ve used a similar device in one of my stories, it’s still unrealistic.)
With the waiver that lets her go nude all over the island and the “fluid” Resort Ambassador duties, it suggests that they’re going to make her a de-facto mailgirl for the whole island. I’m interested in how that turns out.
And the passing mention of aiming for more international tourism made me wonder if, down the road, her crew from Seattle are going to find out about a place where they cosplay mailgirls. They show up at the resort and see Emi as an actual mailgirl. That would be wild.
Thanks shmeckle, and it’s a honour to have a fellow writer read my story! Yes, there is a lot of interesting potential with this setup that Brandy is taking control of. A lot of things could potentially go wrong for Emi. The list is endless. She’s definitely going to have to be careful!
Exactly shmeckle! And since Evan and his crew are programmers, maybe they hack into the system, taking control of Mailgirl 9 (Emi) forcing her to do their bidding. That too would be wild. And then, maybe Emi ends up back in Seattle… So many great directions for this story!
These are also the concerns I often have in this context, that some mailgirl stories are just an excuse for slavegirl stories. But there are probably thousands of slavegirl stories around, for example on Literotica. Well done mailgirl stories are different and therefore something very special for me.
Agreed. This story leans towards realism as much as is possible. It’s more interesting when we don’t unfairly tip the scales (too much), giving the girl a fighting chance in some cases. Uncertainty can be more surprising and exciting.
Emi caught him. “Gotcha,” she said, his arm sinking into her tit.
He looked at her, all doughy-eyed. “You saved me!”
She took his drink and let him fall.

You gotta love Emi, right?
And what an eye opening Rickshaw ride. Emi learned so much … AFTER she had signed the agreement!
Chapter 18 is now finished. I’m just editing it now. I’ll be done tonight but I’m going to delay posting until after EllaMennopi finishes posting her entire 4th book. So that might be Sunday or later, depending upon her number of chapters. She’s an amazingly productive writer!
if it is finished, why do we have to wait for some other author to finish her story that has nothing to do with your story Readerman? I don’t see many comments on her story.
I think that ReaderMan is right on this. As much as I want to read his new stuff, let’s let EllaMennopi be on top for a day or more. That will help people find her stories. And then the spotlight can shift back to our Mailgirl in training!
Other authors shouldn’t get lost in my flood. I post everything all at once rather than serialized because that’s how I want to read it, and because I want to finish everything before showing it to the world.
If I could post everything in just a few hours, I would, but I find that during posting, I find things to edit, which makes the process take something like half again as much time as to re-read the whole thing.
So yes, I will clear the decks and let y’all have the board’s front page back for another few months. 🙂
I’m actually appreciating the extra editing and polishing time, thanks to EllaMennopi. We all benefit from the delay, so no worries.
The online tradition of gradually posting a story is a social thing. It’s entirely more fun that way and makes it a shared experience over time. I recommend all writers to try it at least once, especially when starting a fresh new story.
I hear you, but if you saw the rough state of my first drafts… Shudder.
Trust me, you want me to take my time with this. As imperfect as it is when it finally lands here, it’s much worse earlier on.
I’ve got something of a serialization effort going on over on the All CMNF forum, with my erotic take on The Prisoner TV series, but as you can see, I’ve only gotten one story out, and that only atop an existing story’s back.
I’ve got the second story outlined, but my stories here are taking all my free fiction writing time at the moment.
I couldn’t do that. As I’m writing a story, I find I often have to go back and change earlier bits to make sense. That’s why I always release my stories only after they’ve been complete.
There was a story I wrote on the old ASN board where as I was writing the last chapter, I realised that a couple of characters had just got up and should still be in pyjamas, so I went back and added that to chapter 2.
On this site you can edit your posts anytime. Only the comments have 1o min timer.
For the reader this “social aspect” is also a lot of fun. I enjoy it immensely to speculate about the storyline and the motivation of the different characters. Before the Resort Ambassador I was only reading and never commenting. This was only half the fun.
Yup, time to break out my Kindle copy of Confessions and my copies of Liz Stanton’s stories to get my mailgirl fix. I hope to have a few stories to post here too, so I’ll work on those too until Emi comes back.
Great! Looking forward to your stories shmeckle!
Does anybody have a copy of the “Reluctant Pony” by Rilawild? I found it on the BDSM library but it won’t drag and drop to a word Doc. It’s kinda long. I already read Confessions of a Mailgirl as Seahawk posted it. And found “Everyone is sleeping” the three stories that inspired The Resort Ambassador .
orflash64,
I’ve got the story “The Reluctant Pony By Rilawild” under word.doc.
If you’re still interested tell me how I cand send it to you.
Thanks Jean, if you can email me the story to
orflash64@yahoo.com
Thanks
Sorry it took me a while to get to this part. Here are some of my thoughts:
Where did that whimper come from? She should be livid, not meek. She’s already pissed because of her clothes, and then Ho drops all of this on her. Maybe because it’s all too much that she breaks down and whimpers. If that’s the case, maybe you can clarify that a little, for example:Emi was hit hard by this new revelation. On top of everything else, now she had to be nude 24/7 for another two whole months? It was too much, and she whimpered, “But Ho…”
That’s certainly understandable.
Ho realizes the value of Emi, apparently. She should be very thankful to Emi for doing this. Ho also knows that she lied to Jake about Emi liking the mailgirl thing, does she not? Emi thinks so, at least.Is she just completely oblivious to Emi’s discomfort and anger? No, she’s a true demon, it seems, as Emi herself has regarded her already in a previous chapter. Ho seems to be very manipulative and when she hugged Emi… Emi might have involuntarily vomitted all over her in response. Sorry for the disgusting visual.
Oh god… It hurts. So much.
Thanks Cave. I made the changes.
That hug was definitely a vomit worthy moment… and yes, taking her clothing was a very painful blow. Emi will never forget it!
“A half-drunk mushroom-headed young fellow.” I don’t think I’ve ever heard that expression before. Wondering what that means — a large head?
–
When Emi is pulling the rickshaw, Ho tells Jake that Emi has a “nudity fetish” and he asks her if that is true. She decides she can’t tell the truth “especially before he signed the contract.” But . . . since Emi doesn’t actually WANT to do any of this — especially now that she knows more about it — wouldn’t she consider it a relief if for some reason Jake did not sign and the deal fell apart?
–
It’s great that you concocted a way for Emit to be nude anywhere on the island (though I think you could edit down the explanation a bit). Seems likely this will mean that Emi’s mailgirl/ambassdor duties will take her many places outside of the Marketing building. Well done overall (except for the fundamentally misogynist undercurrents of course).
While reading T.R.A., I often find myself wondering what Molly might say, if/when she puts in an appearance. ‘Fundamentally misogynist undercurrents.’ That’s not something that I foresaw, but in retrospect, I think I should have. ReaderMan … what were you thinking? Did you think you’d get away with this?
Just because I laughed for a couple years while Molly flamed your ass is no reason to make light of this moment, Blair! (Okay, maybe it is) Regardless, I see what you are doing. Trying to pass Molly canisters of gasoline ammo for her dreaded flamethrower!
I mean, geeze… I don’t have any MEN doing ANYTHING bad to Emi. Not ‘a single guy’ has treated Emi darkly.
I’m working (from home) so I’ll comment more later. I just want to say that mushroom head was a big head mask of a mushroom head – that looked kind of like a penis. That’s all. Poorly worded, I need to fix that. Remember, it’s a halloween party.
Despite her intense emotion to the contrary, Emi doesn’t usually make decisions based upon emotion alone. She decided that she’s going to do this. It was certainly a tough adult decision. She carefully thought all of this out, and decided that not doing it would be slightly worse than doing it. That said, Ho is a monkey wrench in all this and so it’s not as black and white – frankly it’s muddy now and so your comment has some merit. But still, Emi isn’t one to back down from a challenge or a commitment.
This whole situation is still very fluid, and changing a lot, as you will read in upcoming chapters. I’m doing my best with this unique story and trying to navigate this new writing art of drama, tension, edginess, and such that you and Blair and other writers get to play with. If you are sensing fundamentally misogynist undercurrents then then I am probably doing something wrong as I am trying to please female readers the same amount as male readers. I’m all ears if you have any ideas how to make Emi’s situation more interesting. But maybe catch up on the reading first to get a better sense of things.
(Just remember, if something is bad… it’s was probably Blairs idea. I’ll hold him up for you if you want to take a shot at him!)
I’m just kidding. All my ideas (good and bad). But his story is coming next and like he said. He can hardly wait for his turn to get flamed!
If anyone else is feeling like the story is going off the rails, please have some patience. It’s tricky to write a story like this and not only that sometimes I deliberately go too far in this or that direction, but usually a correction happens that brings the balance and logic and sanity all back in line again. So if it feels wrong, it probably IS wrong and someone will do something about it – if possible. So far, I think that’s how drama works.
As to mailgirls: I’m going to post something Kinsey wrote that inspired me a great deal.
In other words. An exciting story with lots of drama.
I accept Kinsey’s observations and do not doubt that SOME stories about mailgirls are quite nuanced. But in my experience, most of them seem to go like this:
–
(1) A girl is subjected to dozens of chapters of unrelenting debasement and humiliation during which she must grovel, avert her eyes, do what she’s ordered or be punished, etc. Sometimes her body is used as a piece of furniture. Sometimes she is kept in a cage or given her food in a dog dish. (This is, of course, to enhance the drama and certainly NOT because the author or his readers erotically enjoy imagining women being treated that way).
–
(2) And THEN in the final chapter the author announces that the girl is now actually kinda into it and so, you know, she’s “empowered.” The end.
–
I am, of course, not suggesting that Readerman is producing THAT kind of story. My comments were simply to express my opinion of mailgirls stories in general.
Alright Molly, now you are just outright exaggerating. Either that or you read a LOT of mailgirl stories. Because I’m quite familiar with the literature and NOT ONCE have I seen a woman’s body used as a piece of furniture!
No kidding. This story is barely even in that general category. It’s just some girls having fun developing software for a nudist resort. Not a single cage, dog dish,
or leashin sight!The scene I remember is a girl on all fours with someone resting their feet on her back like she was an ottoman. Are you really going to argue that such a scene is too extreme for a mailgirls story??
–
I believe that I SAID quite clearly that yours was not that kind of story, and that I am enjoying your story.
–
I am entitled to my own opinion about mailgirls stories in general, and I really think it would be unwise of you to try to defend “the literature” to me.
That was supposed to be funny. Plus I was trying to see how many mailgirl stories you have read. (And I exaggerated, I haven’t read them all… yet)
Thanks Molly. 🙂
No kidding. lol…
I can relate. The times that I tend to piss people off the most are usually when I am just trying to be funny.
Yes, I remember that happening at last a dozen times to you. Ahh… the good ol’ days.
