As the dinner had progressed, Eric had eventually suggested that the three could pair a live charity performance at the restaurant with the live Q&A. Madison had enthusiastically supported the idea, and soon after Cassie had voiced her agreement, and so they had spent the dinner discussing some of the details of that. They'd do the livestream, starting with Adrienne reading their predetermined questions (at Cassie's suggestion, these would be the "tough" subjects, the most sensitive sorts of questions, if only to, in some cases, showcase a proper response to an inappropriate question), and then after that she and Ellie would perform a set while Adrienne (possibly with help from either Joan or perhaps one of the other track girls) curated the next batch of questions, then take a break to answer the questions, and to do a few cycles of that.
Cassie smirked at the playful banter, then turned on one of her and Ellie's previous songs, not so loud as to be impossible to speak over, and with the speakers pointed mostly towards the door it would obscure the further conversation they had.
"Only if I can cruise along behind you two in the car and watch." She suggested lightly, then took a breath.
"What I suggested earlier, the whole cucking thing, and specifically, as Adrienne so easily deciphered, how I want you two to focus on transphobic humiliation ... I want you both to understand some things. Let me say my piece, don't interrupt me."
After that was acknowledged, she continued. "Firstly, I want you both to understand that I purely want to experiment with that particular sort of humiliation at this point. I love the fantasy, sure, but I've never experienced the kink for real. I honestly don't know if I'll be able to handle it. But I want to explore it, see how I respond in actual roleplay.
"Secondly, I know very well that this is the sort of thing that could be a minefield for any of us. What if I can't handle it? What if either of you can't? The subject matter itself means it has to be something I explore in a manner that is completely controlled with people I trust absolutely." She locked eyes with Ellie. "People like you," and she glanced to Adrienne, "and you. You two are the only people I trust to keep me safe in this exploration. I trust that neither of you could ever actually mean those things. I trust you'll stop if I use the safeword. I am willing to trust you both absolutely with this course of action. I am not asking this of either of you lightly. But I can't trust anyone else with it as much as I can trust you two." She looked at them again. "And I want to be clear, if you are both simply willing to give this a chance, even just once, and afterwards you don't feel comfortable with doing it again, we can absolutely cut that part out. I'm asking for nothing more than a chance to explore this with you two.
"Thirdly, I want to be clear: I am asking for this. This is something I want to explore. Nothing you say is going to be anything but an act. I know if I have to stop it, you both will be able to de-escalate the situation. I trust you both to understand consent and safewords and to be able to react appropriately if things exceed my threshold."
She glanced between them one last time. "You still don't need to answer now. Either of you. Take your time. And thank you for listening."
