For the door decorating challenge, I decorated @ellisanderson‘s door and my own because we tend to spend our time between both.  Since Ellis is also helping to judge, we’ve removed our doors from judging but hope everyone enjoys looking at them anyway.  #daltonsanctuaryfallfair    #doordecorating.

But showering too much can also dry out your skin, I really do hope you have a good moisturizing routine. If not, I can always give you a recommendation. I will say, salt water can be good for your hair as it works as an exfoliator. I mean, as long as your submissive enjoys it, I suppose that’s all that really matters.

Stuff like that train you to be disciplined, doesn’t it? Which is a plus when being a dom, right?

I do use a good moisturizing body wash and shampoo for chlorine when I’m at the pool.  I use a body butter as needed.  But not staying in the shower too long and using a moderate versus a steamy temperature seems to help.  Normally I’d say as long as it doesn’t bother me, that’s all that really matters, but I’ve developed a soft spot for Ellis.  Putting a smile on that gorgeous face brings a great deal of satisfaction.

Definitely helps make you disciplined yet.  I suppose it can be.  But it can also be a hinderance when people assume your rigidity and discipline is more from a lack of meeting your needs since you don’t generally engage in sexual dominance or romantic relationships.

Per some advice I received from a staff member. It is best for me to work on becoming a better educated submissive, so I will be withdrawing from the running for submissive mark leader. I hope everyone running has a great time and whoever wins truly deserves it. 

Now, this afternoon I will be in the conference room by the library for sewing club. I have provided a few links for resources for beginners but I wanted to call this meeting because since it is the spooky season, I want fellow club members to learn maybe how to fix a hole in their costume if they’re out and about or just to see how much fun it is to make your own halloween costume. Its really helpful to have a miniature sewing kit with you at all times or to know how to sew patches in jeans. So please join me this afternoon for some sewing club fun!

Being a Mark Leader can be a very difficult position to be in, and because you never know what it might bring, being more comfortable in your own role would probably be for the best.  

I have a feeling Ellis might go a little more all out on costumes, or at least one costume, so I might need to learn how to make something and use what I have on hand to come up with something to match his creative mind.

Hunter and Alyssa || TEXTS

Alyssa: Well hello hello Mr. Clarington! Long time no talk, which is my fault entirely. But, that does not mean I have not been keeping an eye on you! I am, however, working on getting things back on track which means here comes the big question- how are things going? How are you doing?

Alyssa: Don't think I've forgotten the last question you asked me, either. I've been reviewing a few things before answering. However, the real and true answer is this: beginning that process is technically up to you. That does not mean the entirety of the determination will be left in your hands, however, if you do wish to receive your completion certificate. The process is this: once you feel you are ready, that you've learned and gained all you can from the Sanctuary, that you've worked through all you needed and that you can comfortably return to society fully, ready to handle a claim, you submit an application. This will be submitted to either myself, Miss Shangela, or the Director. This application is essentially an essay, the length of which is left to your choosing. In this essay, you will discuss your time here at Dalton, what you've learned and gained, how you've progressed and changed in your own words. You should discuss your club and class participation as well. Once you've made your case, and said all you feel you can and should say, your essay as well as your file here at the Sanctuary will be reviewed. The review will involve speaking with your counselor (me), your teachers, and your club captains. The review board (consisting of myself, Shangela, the Director, each member of our counseling staff, and Miss Emma Pillsbury) will spend anywhere from three days to a week reviewing your file and performance, and will make the determination.

Alyssa: For future reference, or reference at all should you ever be interested, this process is very, very similar to the process for gaining a Claim. The application for that process is still an essay, though it obviously focuses on different topics.

HUNTER: I am doing well Miss Alyssa, thank you for asking. Mostly just keeping my nose down and out of drama and trouble. And doing some research and studying for a life post Dalton.

HUNTER: I appreciate you getting back to me about that process.

HUNTER: Does a claim have to be part of that process?

Filming a movie in the pool sounds like it would be really fun. Did you have a specific storyline in mind, Sir? Either way, if you need an extra body… I definitely wouldn’t mind getting to float around in a pool for a few hours. 

It sounds fun though. I’ve never played soccer or volleyball, but I wouldn’t mind learning. I guess we’ll see how things go at swim club. Thanks for taking the time to explain it all to me though, I know it’s probably tedious to be turned into Human Google.

Oh I didn’t mean film a movie in the pool, I meant do a pool side viewing of a movie.  Set up a large screen/sheet and project a movie onto it while people are situated in the pool on different types of floats and inflatables.  Tables set up on the pool deck for people who want  to eat/drink and also some lounge type chairs there too.  People could sit in the hot tub too, although for safety measures we’d have to monitor the time.  

It’s pretty simple and you kind of get the hang of things as you play. The most important part is being comfortable in the water, and able to swim and thread water since it happens in the deep end of the pool.  It’s really no problem, that’s part of the role of a captain.

ellisanderson​:

Awww, you’re cute. Real cute.I was thinking we could attend one of these movie nights together, maybe I’ll cook dinner for us too. Something nice. And I want to go to all of the dances here with you, I think they’re going to be a lot of fun. He is, yeah. That’s Blaine. You’ve met Cooper and now you’ve met my twin too. 

I thought maybe I’d take in all the movies.  I know it’s not my usual, but it helps feel a little more festive and it’s a good reminder to myself to take a break. I would love it if you’d cook dinner for us, but I’d also like to cook dinner with you.  I like when we can do things like that together, domestic things.  Life things.  I think we can go to all the dances together too.  I’ll maybe even let you in on a little secret.  Mhmm, I have.

So these movies have been totes worth the time sitting still, I have to say. Now that tonight’s showing is over, anyone else want to get a walk in? I need to move before my legs fall off.

I’ll go.  As much as it’s nice to sit back and relax, I’m beginning to feel down right sedentary.

dominant-dylan​:

I’m feeling the itch, so I’m just going to go for it: Flag football, tonight, out in the field before they set up for the double feature movie night. This is a normal thing for sports club, the itch was officially opening it up to everyone else and making it a bigger deal. If you don’t play, no big deal. It’s just for fun– and I guess you could just watch, if you want. If we could get the cheer squad down and everything, that’d be great. 

Sounds like a good time.  Count me in.

campbellrclarington​:

It has come to my attention that I have been nominated for Dominant Mark Leader. While this is most assuredly unexpected, if elected I am determined to fulfill my duties to the best of my ability. A position such as this comes with a lot of responsibility, especially when it comes to being able to assist and counsel others if necessary. I can promise that my door and phone are always open for just that. Anyone wishing to communicate further, either about my goals and plans should I win, or about anything in general, please reach out. I hope everyone is having a great week, and enjoying all the Fall Festival has to offer. 

Good luck Campbell.

I’ll see you at 3 on Sunday then, Sir! I really look forward to it. That sounds easy enough, fun even. So I might end up joining after seeing what it’s all about. It’ll be nice to burn some energy. Swimming has always been a hobby of mine, even if it usually ends with me on a float with a book.

What’s water polo? I’ve never heard of it. I have played horse polo though, so if it’s anything similar to that, I might be beneficial to the team.

I look forward to it Blaine.  I’ve been trying to arrange an event with the film club where we do a movie in the pool, with floats and stuff.  But so far the timing hasn’t worked out.  

Water polo is played in the pool with a volleyball and a net like a soccer net.  You want to get the ball into the other teams net.  It can be aggressive, but fun.

Chlorine is bad for your skin and hair, and it’s a lot of treatment to really turn around and fix the damage it causes, especially long term. A swim once in a while is not bad so it’s nice to know we have a pool. I’ll keep you in mind if I have any questions, for sure.

West Point, isn’t that like fancy military school?

It can be yes.  That is why showering pre and post swim is so important as good hygiene.  Sometimes I wear a swim cap as well, although not always, but I’ve kept my hair short and frequenty cut for work, so that helps as well.  I think the pool here might be a salt water/chlorine mix because it’s not like some of the straight chlorine ones I’ve been in.  That being said, I’ve not had any complaints about my hair or skin, in fact my submissive seems to quite enjoy both.  And of seeing me in the pool.  

Fancy no, military school yes. I was a solider before coming here. 

[daltonhclarington]

subblaineanderson​:

Hello, Sir. Thank you.

It was so nice to see him again after all this time, and I’m happy to see he’s found someone to share his time with.

I appreciate the offer, though I’d never want to take his time away from you, if you’re the one he’d like to spend it with. As nice as it is reconnecting with him, I’ve decided to approach this on his terms, seeing as it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other last. 

As far as the swim club goes, I suppose I’m talking to the right person. I was thinking about asking to sit in on a session to see if it would be something I could keep up with. I’m looking into some of the different clubs Dalton offers to find my niche, apart from the obvious singing.

You’re welcome Blaine.  

Well I just know that I can be very greedy with Ellis’ time, and take up a lot of it.  But I know family can be important and I don’t want to come between that.  

Swim club meets 3-5pm Sundays, but I swim most mornings at 6am and sometimes I even manage to get Ellis to come join, so you’re more than welcome to come join me, or us.  As far as keeping up, we swim laps, talk about techniques, and I’ve been trying to get a water polo team started too.

History is very important. It’s how we learn to be better. I wish I knew more of it, honestly. It would be wonderful if I could remember all those things about those before us.

Wow, it sounds like you’ve really made the most of the vacation! Your submissive is really lucky, Sir. I hope you had a beautiful, wonderful time on your date and that you’ll be able to keep going on them when we return to Dalton.

I agree with you there.  I think remembering history is very important.  I could help you learn some important things if you’d like.  If you know what is important to you.  I majored in American Politics and minored in International Relations which meant a fair bit of history.

I did try.  No, believe me, anyone that knows us, knows I am the lucky one in this scenario.

ellisanderson​:

@daltonhclarington​: Look how beautiful. Like you’re just draped in flowers and petals. ❤️

As sweet as ever, you know I love your compliments. ❤️ Is now a good time to ask you on a movie date? And after that, a dance date?

That’s just a you thing my beauty.  I can not imagine in the slightest a bad time to ask for a date. A movie date and a dance date huh?  I’d say you’ve got yourself a date, or two.  What are we going to see Little One?  And what is going on with this dance?  I see your brother, your twin, is here.

subblaineanderson​:

Hello!

My name is Blaine Anderson, and I’m a new submissive resident at the Sanctuary. 

I’m originally from Westerville, Ohio, but I lived in Lima for a short time during high school. 

I just graduated from KSU with a Bachelor’s in Musical Theater, and now I’m back in Lima to attend classes at the Sanctuary to expand my knowledge about my role in society.

Hello Blaine.  

Welcome to the Sanctuary.   It’s a pretty good place.  I’m a resident too,  but a Dominant one.  Your sibling Ellis, is actually submissive mark leader, so if you have any questions, you’ve got a familiar and friendly face to lean on.  And feel free to let me know if I’m taking up too much of his time as you two reconnect; because I do get a little greedy about spending time with him.  I’m Ellis’ Dominant, Hunter Clarington, and captain of the swim club.
