"submissive must allow a dominant to modify their body in any manner the dominant wishes, including but not limited to piercings, implants, tattoos and/or scarification." i'm not even allowed to have any say
[ just getting THAT OUT THERE FIRST seeing as he LITERALLY just saw tate bruised and battered and bloodied because of that guy. dangerous fucking power to put in his hands. of course, tate could just go over derek's head here and tell him anyway, but - dangerous. fucking. power. ]
Leave that to me. I can do that. Come to the tree house when you want to handle this.
[Tate wants to remark 'no shit', but he's still a bit - taken by this. He wouldn't want to put this amount of power in Kavinsky's hands at all, but maybe he'll have to now put the lesser of the two evils there instead. Or just not mention this at all? It's not like they're telling one another everything. But would Kavinsky be informed of his sub's citations, too?]
okay. i wanna get it done quick, it says there's a time frame or else i potentially face more citations or like... "submissives may end up forwarded to the remittance facility to settle their debts".
the sooner i get this done the less likely kavinsky can find out, too i don't want them going to him. do you think they would?
No. I don't think so. Not if you take care of this. Your citations just say a dom, not your dom. So. It just needs to get done.
Do they need... proof of completion? They shouldn't have to, right? Not if our devices monitor our activity. If you need to report you to a fucking-- head office of sexual punishment or some shit, I can take you.
You can't think of anything you might've said that could be classified as... "dissenting"?
[ Derek has a few guesses - maybe talking shit about Kavinsky counts as dissenting, maybe Tate's relationship with Peter is being frowned upon - but those offenses feel like they'd be more explicitly stated, if Tate was in trouble for either one. Disrespecting your contract or violating societal rules, or something. ]
i might've gotten into some back talk with one of the guys who checked my phone he was a real fucking dick though, so. that's all i can think of it wasn't like i was saying "this city is a piece of shit" or anything (because clearly i respect the rules of this city and am aware it's monitoring me constantly :) )
i'll come over tonight if you bring dinner i'll bring these stupid citations too.
[ Feels like Tate might be poking a bear here, so saying something like yeah, it must be pretty sad to be so incapable of getting laid that even in a city built around sex, you have to monitor other people's conversations just to feel involved, is probably a bad idea, but.
He thinks it, at least. ]
Okay. Yeah. They'll probably want me to sign them, at least. Good job on not busting that guy's jaw like I might have. Get your requests in now or you're gonna be eating pizza.

[Tate's typing... and then he's not. He's quiet for a good two to three minutes.]
this is bullshit.
i didn't say anything "dissenting"
there's no way anything i said was worth this
no subject
Or maybe a man can feel two things.
[ But-- fuck. Okay. This sounds bad. ]

[Reading through all this fine print when he's not - frustrated.]
