I wrote a crappy little play for y'all, starring myself as the Mary Sue. (fanfiction.net, here I come!) Ok but really, this is just for me to explain dynamics I want without having to explicitly ask because i feel awkward explicitly asking for some of this.
Adventures of a Mary Sue - Pt. 1
CAST (in order of appearance)
ELLE An easily distractible and charming young woman, undeniably a hipster. A Manic Pixie Dream Girl and Mary Sue all rolled into one.
SIR MCDOM Her dom. Tall, dark haired, bearded, smells nice, probably has a name he prefers to be called but we won't hear it in this story so why should I bother making one up.
PROPS
A simple harness (e.g. https://www.etsy.com/listing/90735508/chrysolite-ha…
)
A leash
A pair of wrist cuffs that match the harness (this is my fantasy so I get to choose. hmph.)
A double-ended snap clip
Some sort of mean looking thing
SCENE I
ELLE and SIR MCDOM are walking through the vendor area at one of these kink camps in Maryland. SIR MCDOM stops to look at a rack of floggers. ELLE is focused elsewhere and does not notice.
ELLE (moving quickly, reaches the end of her leash) Aaah!
SIR MCDOM Elle! Come here!
(ELLE grumbles)
(ELLE slowly walks back to where SIR MCDOM is examining merchandise, probably of the painful variety.)
ELLE Sirrrr... I wanted to look at the violet wand.
SIR MCDOM We'll look at everything, be patient. (beat) I don't want you wandering off right now, understand?
ELLE (distractedly) Yes Sir...
SIR MCDOM (picking up a toy) Elle, look at this! It's... (ad-lib)
(SIR MCDOM continues ad-libbing about details of the toy and its use until SIR MCDOM is interrupted by a sharp jerk of the leash as ELLE, bored or distracted, has wandered off to try to look at another booth.)
SIR MCDOM (sharply tugs leash back) ELLE!
(ELLE makes noises of discontent as she is reeled back in.)
SIR MCDOM (Sternly) Stand here.
(With one hand SIR MCDOM grabs the back strap of ELLE's harness, and with the other he fishes a double ended snap hook out from his pockets.)
SIR MCDOM Wrists. Now.
(ELLE places her hands behind her back, and SIR MCDOM uses the snap hook to secure the cuffs together before spinning her around to face him.)
SIR MCDOM Elle, I asked you to be patient and gave you a chance to be good, and instead you kept wandering off when I was trying to talk to you. (beat) We'll see everything you want to see before we leave here. But first there are some things I want to show you and I don't want you wandering away halfway through. Do you understand?
ELLE (nods) Yes Sir.
SIR MCDOM And since you can't be trusted to stay on a leash without walking away, I'm going to keep a hand on your harness now so you don't have a choice but to stay by my side.
ELLE (stammers) Y-Yes Sir.
SIR MCDOM Tell me what we're going to do.
ELLE (Pauses to regain her composure) Sirrr, we are going to look at everything you want to look at and everything I want to look at and I am going to stay by your side the entire time because you will be holding on to my harness. (beat) Can I have my hands back now, please Sir?
(ELLE looks up expectantly.)
SIR MCDOM Good girl. No. You can't. Now as I was saying... (ad-lib)
