"Okay, I'm pretty much blanket okay with any feminine-leaning demon. I don't like admitting this but I'm actually bisexual, it's just a lot harder for me to find random men attractive, and my tastes are a bit idiosyncratic. I don't know how good you are at matching that or if by attractive you mean, like, 'conventionally' attractive. If I could specify that only men I personally found attractive would appear then I would be able to include that category, it's just less easy for me to include than feminine-presenting people because of my personal hangups." 

She exhales. 

"Okay, going on to demihumans. Demihumans I'm pretty straightforwardly okay with, everything here is fine."

"Humanoid options - I would like to special-mention that most broadly humanoid bodyplans that you'd see in the furry community are okay. It's a bit idiosyncratic, uh... No taurs that are not straightforwardly human or demihuman upper halves, no beaks or talons but claws are fine, broadly canine or feline head features in the kind of look that's common in the furry community are fine even though I haven't marked them down, anything that looks like a draenei or classic cloven-hoofed succubus is fine but I don't want to give blanket permission to whatever random weird feet, I completely forgot to take unusual skin and I think that's straightforwardly fine, I am in fact kinky enough to be fine with most things recognizable as an animalian cock within my size limits - like, I don't want to give permission for random demon #275 who literally has a coke can for a penis, or random demon #394 who has a ten meter long extremely thin duck penis, but somehow I doubt either of said demons actually exist; I actually might be a little less okay with alien vulvae, that's worth considering as a potential edit. I'd also like to special-mention women with snakelike lower bodies, that's a great bodyplan, especially if it comes with twin hemipenes. Uh, what else..."

"Okay, monstrous bodyplans. I am specifically okay with tentacle monsters because I've seen them a ton in porn. Once we know each other a little better I might be okay with some mythic monsters or obviously demonic animal forms, but that's definitely a deeper-rapport kind of thing. Specifically slimegirls are also great, but I don't want to give blanket permission to incorporeal specters and so on." 

She taps her fingers against the desk. "Uh, we're probably going to have to go back to the recording to cover all this in detail, but, like, I'll do my best. Uh, encounter density and duration - up to a dozen might be okay, it's just slowly more and more to deal with and the point return is relatively small. Similarly, increased duration is possible to take - I kind of want to take "until they're satisfied" simply because it'd mean I'd be Doing A Good Job, to be honest, I just think it'd be rougher on me. We'll have to negotiate that more fully once we get the special conditions hammered out, I think. I also might want a scheduled checkin for once the contract's been firmly established for a while, but that'll cost me some gratitude so I want to see how deeply I'm in the hole or not to see if I want it." 

"Sorry, I do tend to natter on. Feel free to dive into all that wherever you'd prefer to start."

The demon negotiator nods as Ava explains, writing down Ava's opinions in a notebook as she listens. When Ava finishes, the negotiator nods. "The force limits you describe fit within the usual bounds for stepping and hair-pulling and spanking, so that is easy enough. With regard to the gag reflex concern with deep throating, one suggestion I have is reducing or removing your gag reflex altogether. What are your thoughts on that?"

"If you can do that in the dream space only, that sounds great. I don't want to choke on something in real life and die."

"We can, but we can also give you a gag reflex that you can suppress at will, which I suspect you would find superior."

"That's wonderful. Is that on top of the transition or considered part of it?"

"That will be included with the transition, because we have not yet changed your body in the waking world. It's just a matter of tweaking the template we're using in your dreams and will eventually use to transform your waking body."

"We'll have to talk about how to do the real-world transformation, but that's a separate topic."

"Anyway, thank you! What would you like to cover next?"

"How hard is too hard with the leash?"

"I honestly don't know, I've never worn one before. I feel like it's more about jerking it than about steady pressure? It might depend on how it's attached."

"Ruling out jerking the leash would require another blacklist entry, but you spoke of another special mention we could balance it out with, so that is fine. Fucking machines are just elaborately mechanized dildos and vibrators; electricity does not feature below the Brutal tier. Humiliation is somewhat more complicated, however. How do you feel about degrading speech? What about when it is cherishing versus punishing?"

"Both are fine with my partners, it's more of an uncertainty thing with strangers. Cherishing stuff is almost certainly fine."

"I think I'd need to talk about the kind of stuff I like and don't like..."

"Stuff that's definitely fine... Being called a slut, pet, or toy. Being told to kneel or to kiss the floor or someone's feet. Being stepped on. Almost anything that's warm emotionally."

"Stuff that's definitely not fine: Being called anti-gay or anti-trans slurs. Faggot, tranny, etcetera are not okay. Similarly for anything involving racism."

"In the middle... Bitch, doll, slave, being told to literally kiss someone's ass, being called a loser or a failure, being told to admit defeat. I have some specific kinks in this general zone that really get me going, but the category is dependent on trust and that's hard to get with strangers. And they're embarrassing to admit, and in general I abide by the rule that if you can't discuss it you shouldn't be doing it."

"Does that help?"

She nods. "That does help. Refining the category that way will require another blacklist entry, however. Fortunately the thoughts you had on partners give me more than enough room to cover that."

She notes these restrictions down onto the contract, then continues.

"As far as mind control, what specific experiences or outcomes are you looking to avoid?"

"I think it's a tricky subject because it's so expansive. Mind control covers a lot of stuff."

"Like, do you mean generating hallucinatory sensations? Installing alternate personalities? Putting me to sleep or waking me deliberately? Supressing memories as play? Installing a general desire to obey? Installing specific kinks I didn't previously have? Making me more aroused? Making me hazy and foggy, or empty of thoughts? Putting me into specific emotional states? Mental play is practically its own whole set of options, and I don't know what you mean by 'light mind control.' What kinds of things do you consider part of that category?"

"Taking these one at a time: hallucinatory sensation is light if it's easy to tell what's real, heavy if your sensorium is more thoroughly taken over or tricked; alternate personalities are part of personality rewriting, an entirely separate detail category; sleeping and waking is light; suppressing memories as part of an encounter is on the border between heavy and rewriting, and is extremely rare regardless; installing a desire to obey is part of the obedient mitigation option and is considered separately; increasing arousal does not fall under mind control at all, but rather aphrodisiacs; the majority of hazy and foggy and empty-headed states fit under the entranced mitigation, and the rest vary across light and heavy based on their intensity; and lastly imposing mental states is light if it's more of a suggestion or a flavor to your experience, and heavy if it's strong, intense, and hard to resist."

She sips a cup of tea. "Does that clarify the question of mind control for you?"

"In that case, I've given literally everything I just mentioned in this category, even up to personality rewriting, a shot at one point or another — by mundane means rather than magical ones, but same difference — so the stuff you consider light I consider pretty light too. All of it sounds very doable and I'll take the opportunity to say that that kind of stuff is a special interest of mine and I'd love to see it included more. I won't include heavy mind control or personality rewriting in the contract, but that's more a trust thing than anything else."

She notes that down as well. "The last item within your discussion of encounter features is punishment and discipline. Given that you respond better to rewards and incentives than punishments, I agree that this merits some discussion. Given the encounter duration you specified, most 'training programs', as you put it, would be more in the shape of a single scene: things like punishing you with an approved painplay element if you orgasm without permission, or if you don't orgasm quickly enough. How do you feel about that range?"

"That sounds wonderful. I particularly like being... shaped to be convenient for someone, so if you have anyone who's into the other end of that, that might be good. Am I likely to have, ah, repeat clients? Because if so then a longer term set of scenes might be able to develop that kind of dynamic."
