Radar Love, Part III

For those of you who don’t know what it is, the bane program, in a nutshell, is total isolation. No IMs, no getting close to people, not able to speak, no inventory, no touching anything, no sitting on anything, not even able to listen to people. You don’t even look like you. You’re just a no one. Now you -can- do these things, at least some of them, but for each one you do, you get your sentence lengthed. The sentence starts off with 24 hours. This is usually a couple of days to a week depending on how much you use.

The tl;dr version: it sucks, in my opinion.

I knew Shuggi was going to do bane. We had talked about it alot, asked me if it was okay and then she sought permission from our Mistress and she approved it. Now after the “interview” happened, Shuggi told me they were backed up and it’d take weeks. I figured I’d propose before then so that the bane could be sort of her last hurrah. Turns out I get an email in the morning telling me she got put into it already and that she was abstaining from MSN to keep the experience accurate. I was totally crushed. I wasn’t prepared to be taken away from my lover so quickly. I didn’t eat at all that day, I called in sick to work… it destroyed me. And as the days went by it didn’t get better at all. Only a few members of my family bothered to try to make me feel better and one of them wasn’t even part of my family, a man whom I hope will always be my friend, Munsta Levasseur.

Near the end, I decided I was going to propose to her after she got out of bane. I started coming up with different ways. The one I finally came up with was going to a sim with her and arranging the trees and flowers to spell out “WILL YOU MARRY ME?” My Mistress managed to convince me to wait a few days after she got back, my Mistress had planned on recollaring Shuggi and figured it would be a bit much to have all that rushing back. I agreed and so I planned on waiting.

The day finally came when Shuggi was done with bane. She had sent me a few emails telling me that our Mistress was going to pick her up. The day came and Shuggi decided she wanted me instead. Not sure why to this day, either. So I picked her up, I was so excited to see her finally. Even after arranging a few signs for her to see while she was gone, and even spent the second to last day ‘writing in the sand’ (we would change our profile to what we wanted to say, then would wave to the other person from a distance. They’d read the profile and then respond the same way. Cheating? Yes. Did we care? No.) I still felt like I hadn’t seen her in forever. So I took her back to our Mistress with all our sisters around, and she got her collar put back on and locked. My Mistress IMed me telling me that I should propose to her right now in front of everyone, which took me by surprise. Didn’t she tell me to wait? Part of me thinks she didn’t want me to outshine her own lovers proposal to her… knowing now what I do of her and the things she’s done, it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest… or was she regretful she told me to wait and wanted it done right there? Regardless, I proposed to Shuggi in front of everyone.

I don’t need to tell you what she said, do I?

So we planned the wedding, going to have our Mistress conduct the ceremony and marry us. Lots of planning was involved. And yes I’m going to be full of ego right now and admit that 99.999 percent of the wedding was my planning. There were a few things that my Kitten had helped with but alot of it was stuff I found and wanted her opinion on. I’m just that way, once I get my mind on an idea, I see it through fully, not relying on anyone else but myself to complete it.

Weeks went by and the preparations were coming along smoothly. I was excited, she was excited, everyone was excited. In a mere week, the kitten of my dreams was about to pledge to me her heart forever in front of all our friends and family, bound together by the one woman who’s the real reason we met, our Mistress.

And then our Mistress released her.
