But is this good? Is this right? Should Opalyn actually be participating in this?

She does wonder about that. It's easy to imagine trying to create the worst possible fight amongst a bunch of strangers, but once she gets to know them, maybe she'll care about them and not be so sanguine about hurting them. That's probably what's going to happen.

How is she going to make this okay with herself?

Well... it's not yet clear whether she has a choice! Wumi claimed the prisoners should viscerally fear doing anything else, but Opalyn also has the sense that the sorcerer containment system isn't perfect, or else Trāho wouldn't be asking for tips about that. Opalyn might have a choice, and shouldn't just do bad things because it seems inconvenient not to.

She's going to have to wait and see how bad the things are, and what degrees of freedom she actually has.

The rest of the speaker's lecture/threat doesn't have the same surprise impact on the margins.  It amounts to some repetitions of "don't make trouble", albeit with a somewhat different perspective on "trouble" in which causing a screaming physical fight to erupt during a major magical ritual does not count as "trouble".

She introduces herself as Headstomper Wumi.

It's clear from implications that the people around Opalyn are not particularly those who've had papers filed about their possible innocence; Opalyn may have a special bureaucratic status but it doesn't seem to correspond to being in a distinct building.  Possibly the people like Opalyn are too few to have a distinct building.  Especially since the system seems to be set up so that a cohort of newcomers (larger than just the seven of them) get introduced in tandem to the existing population.

But the most important thing that happens next is that they all get fitted for their permanent custom-fitted magic-blocking slave collars, so that the guards guarding them can be freed up!  This being the Facility for melodramatic sluts and hence sluts, they'll also need a chastity belt, but it is literally just a belt, a thin chain around their waist.  It serves to prevent unauthorized sexual activity, that's all, for people who haven't paid tokens properly earned by lightline charging in order to authorize that sexual activity.

Off with them to be fitted!

Opalyn is not amused. She's supposed to spend all day stirring up sexual feelings in other people and then not have 'unauthorized sexual activity?'

Yeah there better be massage therapists and hot baths.

That's right!  You SHOULD be eager for your first chance to be good lightline-charging sluts!

Having the slave collars fitted is an expensive operation involving powerful magic and people using what look like enchanted abacuses.  It'll take around ten minutes.

Someone will start crying, during this operation.  They will immediately receive a hug.

Okay, okay, maybe it's not all bad. The part where everyone receives exactly the attention they need in between PROVOKING A CRISIS to GENERATE POWER seems fairly non-evil.

Though in the limit it's going to have to turn out that the hugger is secretly sabotaging the efforts of the hug-ee somehow, so it will turn out that the HUG WAS A LIE. Opalyn's mind is racing ahead to create maximum emotional wreckage, and she feels kind of bad about how much her mind is attracted to plotting like this.

(Note:  You are now cleared to click on and read the spoilered HIDDEN THOUGHTS of Trāho starting from here.  It is not important that you interrupt your reading to do so.)

And after that, they will be taken on a quick tour of The Facility, a dramatic lewd section of The Farm!

Among the first things you will notice at The Facility are the helpful signs everywhere!

Reading is a popular activity at The Facility!  You'll see plenty of it happening even before you get to the library!  Sorcerers with some wizard training especially often choose to spend their time learning, from hired teachers, or from books taken out of the library.  Some of the people who've already been here a while have spent some of their earned Farm credits on magical artifacts, often in the form of wands, to compensate for their usually-sealed magic.

(Opalyn might have some stumbles reading ambient Eldric; Orphan wasn't very practiced at it.)

Some of the younger inmates especially are too wild to let fear restrain them.  They're in cells.  You definitely get to go past the cells, so you can see what happens to you if you're not afraid.

You get homework, is what happens.  Caning alone would not totally work on everyone here to provide the correct incentives.

In worse cases, they take your pretty clothes away too.
