Someone told me in 2020 that I should incorporate COVID-19 into Romero stories but I missed the window for that bad idea so get ready everyone for the diarrhea that mind controls you
I was trying to move some prose around in my latest story but messed the copy command up so instead it pasted the last thing in my clipboard and I cannot stop laughing
I'm dead
I sincerely appreciate it when somebody randomly favorites like four stories in the same series in a row. I like knowing that people are reading what I write and not just appreciating the manip!
Mattress outlet commercials in Romero are like "you are deeply hypnotized...BY THESE LOW, LOW PRICES!!"
Free Will, In This Economy?
Okay, so my time at the Gilead Hotel wasn’t just research.
Like, I might’ve been more interested in that place if I knew that they were brainwashing girls to fuck for money there. Obviously I’d know that crooked cops were behind the operation. Maybe I even let them catch me. Maybe I wanted to be locked up for hours in their interrogation room, hands cuffed behind my back while they turned my brain to mush with their whole Good Cop/Dom Cop routine.
So, yeah. I know when you see me now, naked and on my knees in a Futurum office with my new boss’ cock down my throat, you’re probably thinking, “This bimbo Tabbie just couldn’t resist joining the mind control company,” right?
Wrong!! This job sucks.
You’d think an office where everybody’s a mindless drone would be my dream job, but the people here are so boring. I’ve been here three weeks and no one’s even tried to fuck me! They just stay in their cubes typing away at their secret projects. No T&A on the copier, no breakroom blowjobs, no sex in the stairwell.
When I introduced myself to my neighbor in the next cube over, he didn’t look away from the screen. I was wearing the tightest little dress on the floor, but he was more interested in his computer!
I said, “Hiya! I’m Tabbie!” Bouncing on my heels as I spoke, once to be seen by him behind the wall, two more times because I liked how it made my tits jiggle.
He replied, “Private designations are discouraged in workplace settings. My Associate Designation is No. 122.”
“Oh,” I said. “Can I call you Gary?”
“That is not advisable,” Gary said.
“Do I get a number too?” I asked.
“All new associates are designated a number during onboarding,” My neighbor on the other side of me said. She was a gorgeous redhead who tried to hide a massive pair of tits beneath a fleece turtleneck. She seemed to share Gary’s passion for talking to computer screens. “My Associate Designation is No. 500.”
“You look like a Josie,” I said. “Have you seen a girl named Corbin around here?”
“If you know the individual’s Associate Designation you may submit a query to the Office of Associate Relations during your scheduled lunch time,” Josie replied.
“You’d know her if you’d seen her,” I said. “Sexy Latina, great eyebrows, incredible taste…”
“Please refrain from further conversation with this associate,” Gary said.
“I have reached my hourly-allotted non-productive conversational capacity,” Josie replied. “If you wish, you may reapproach this topic in twenty-nine minutes.”
I completed onboarding at my desk. The first three modules covered boring stuff like my benefit options, so I skipped to the good one. When I opened the fourth module, I was hit by a blast of light and pulsating colors that made me feel tingly all over. A sexy monotone voice spoke softly through my headphones.
“Bravo. Bandwidth. Sea foam. Carpetbagger. Waiting room. Downtown. Colossus. Mitigate. Theta.” After a brief pause, the voice said, “Repeat your sequence.”
Listen, I’m not perfect. When a mindless whore sees some pretty spirals on her work computer, she can’t resist falling under. My mind was empty by the time the voice commanded me, the sequence absorbed into my brain.
I said, “Bravo. Bandwidth. Sea foam. Carpetbagger. Waiting room. Downtown. Colossus. Mitigate. Theta.”
The brainwashing might have been effective on Gary and Josie, but for a cute little freak like me it was just a fun morning distraction from work. I broke free of the conditioning by lunch and after rubbing one out real quick in the bathroom, I turned my attention to my actual job.
When I saw Corbin outside my window at the Gilead, I thought she’d come to rescue me. Of course I had a john with me at the time, but he was nice enough to fuck me by the window so that I could watch the whole thing: Corbin walked casually up to one of the rooms. A woman in a towel appeared when she knocked on the door, and the woman invited her inside. That was interesting to me, because I was not in that room.
Corbin’s vibe was different when she left the room. She marched like a zombie out the door, her face was blank, a look I’ve seen a hundred times in the mirror. As she followed the stranger across the parking lot, I caught a quick flash of something on Corbin’s forehead. Some kind of device?
She climbed into the woman’s car, and they disappeared down the road.
As much as I hated to leave my research unfinished, I had a duty to rescue Corbin or, in failing to do that, join her in sexy submission. The johns weren’t going anywhere.
Futurum’s the only place in Romero where a person can get their hands on something like a mind control chip, so it felt like a good place to start. Unfortunately, I didn’t have to suck any cocks to get a job there, I already knew some people at Carpenter State who were eager to get me into an internship. My plan was to move quickly through the company. This is a secretive place, so I needed as much access as possible to find Corbin.
I didn’t expect work at Futurum to be easy, but I fell behind Gary and Josie quickly. Their eyes fixed to their screens, their fingers click-clacking across their keyboards. Inhuman speed, impossible processing time, no errors. It was a slavish devotion that I’d only seen in the Alphas house, but it was all wasted on work!
The mystery was how Futurum was making people into perfect worker drones. I’d already seen their little onboarding light show, but that wasn’t enough to turn a person into a robot! There had to be something I was missing, a second level to the brainwashing.
After a few weeks, I was exhausted, fed up, even ready to quit, when the breakthrough happened.
It was a look on Josie’s face. A small, nigh imperceptible twitch. Understand, my coworkers are automotons. Any emotion at all is a significant deviation worthy of additional study, but this wasn’t any ordinary facial twitch. It meant that...Josie’s a fucking slut, just like me!
The orgasm was so intensely concentrated that it only registered on the outline of a single muscle beneath Josie’s eye. That it occurred at the same moment that Josie completed a column on her spreadsheet was enough for me to begin formulating a hypothesis.
If sexual stimulation is related to the mental subjugation of Futurum associates, then a third party could use sexual stimulation to control Futurum associates.
Ugh, listen to me, I sound like a fucking nerd. The long story short of it is that Futurum is totally fucking its associates into perfect, mindless worker drones. To see a look of pleasure like that in a place like this…fuck, it made me wet.
Look, something you might not know about me is that I’ve always been an ambitious girl. Understanding how Futurum was brainwashing my coworkers gave me all the tools I needed to exploit it. If Futurum can train its associates to convert cumming into endless productivity, I could take that same energy and turn it toward something else like, say, licking my pussy!
“There is no pleasure in hard work,” I whispered to Josie. “The only pleasure is sex.”
“You don’t need a manager,” I said to Gary. “Let your cock manage you.”
Josie was a surprisingly good pussyeater already. Gary less so, but he didn’t look like the pussyeating type, if you know what I mean. All it took to get them on their knees before me was a few words. But Gary and Josie are just drones. When I turned the conversation back to Corbin, they could only look at me with those blank eyes, begging for more pleasure.
“Unknown Associate Designation…” Josie moaned. Her chin glistened with my juices, one hand kneaded her pink tits while the other viciously rubbed her clit. “This associate is…is just a dumb bimbo…just a dumb bimbo for Supervisor Tabbie…”
Gary furiously stroked his cock next to Josie. He’d been on the edge for minutes, but I wouldn’t let him cum until he gave me a good lead.
“If this associate knows…” Gary sputtered. “If this associate knows where Corbin Arroyo is…Supervisor Tabbie will authorize him to cum?”
I pressed my finger to my chin in playful thought, then I shrugged and said, “I dunno! Once you cum, you’ll be my slave forever. No more deadlines to meet, no more calendars to clean up, no emails to write. It sounds so unproductive. Is that what you want, Gary?”
Gary nodded his head, his strokes growing harder, faster. “Yes, yes, please, yes! Make this associate yours forever! This associate will obey! I....I’ll obey!”
“Okay then!” I chirped. “Where are they hiding Corbin?”
“Futurum!” Gary replied quickly with an optimistic smile. “They’re keeping her right here!”
Stupid drones.
“Fine,” I sighed. “You can cum, Gary. But you have to do it on Josie’s tits.”
“Yes, Supervisor Tabbie,” Josie and Gary replied in unison.
I have to admit, I’ve always been more inclined to submission, but lately I’ve found myself adapting well to the role of a Mistress, I mean, er, Supervisor.
My words passed from cube to cube, rewriting each associate’s company programming with my own. The annoying click-clack of keyboards was replaced with the beautiful music of mindless sex, the Alphas house resurrected in the middle of Futurum’s office.
I had to get creative to stay above the productivity tracking software. I showed a group of associates how to slide the mouse over their clits so that it looked like they were still active on their computers even as they were cumming their brains out.
“Like this, Supervisor Tabbie?” one of the girls on the floor asked, the plastic creaking between her athletic legs.
“Just like that, Griselda!” I encouraged her with a friendly thumbs up.
“Do you assess this associate’s phallus to be appropriately pleasurable, Supervisor Tabbie?” another associate asked me. He had me down on the carpet with my back on top of his keyboard, pounding my body into the keys.
I rolled my eyes and said, “Per my last email, Garrett, it’s called a cock, and I’m like, a total slut for yours.”
Soon the commotion on the office floor was too loud to hide. After all those weeks of hard work, trying to get in front of a manager so I could get some answers about Corbin, it turns out all I had to do was start an orgy.
My boss reminds me a lot of my johns at the Gilead Hotel. Approaching middle age but obsessively fit, he’s tall, handsome, and a little rugged, like a man who models razors. He calls himself no. 66, but I like to think of him as Hank.
To be clear, I already assumed Futurum was developing weapons-grade mind control tech in their secret labs, but I didn’t know that they were testing it on their associates until my interview with Hank. Even though I was wearing the cutest little skirt and my silky blouse was unbuttoned just enough that you could see the outline of my sparkly black bra underneath, Hank never broke eye contact with me. I mean, here’s a guy who is smack-dab in the center of the Tabbie-lusting demographic and he can’t even steal a split second to objectify me?
I’m sure Hank intended to chew me out about the orgy when he called me into his office, but I had a few words of my own for him.
“Your body is a temple built to worship pleasure. Won’t you worship with me?”
See? I told you I had a good reason to be down on this floor. It’s not just because I’m a brainless hypnoslut who’s totally addicted to sucking cock. I’ve already got loads of cum in my tummy already!
“Coo-bin A-woy-O!” I slurp down eight inches of Hank’s cock. He’s as big as I imagined when I first saw those strong, broad shoulders. I am not disappointed.
“This is…counterintuitive…to a productive workspace…” Hank’s Futurum programming is putting up a decent fight against my own.
His cock makes a pop sound as it slips from my wet mouth.
“You want to cum, don’cha, Hank?” I ask. “The emails and the meetings and the projects, they’re all just goals to achieve your next reward. But you don’t need to lock pleasure behind goals when you have a cock this big. You can feel this good whenever you want.”
“Whenever…” Hank repeats.
I slide my tongue over his massive head and I’m about to take him fully back into my mouth when a loud thud makes both of us jump. I turn around to inspect the noise, my hand still stroking Hank’s cock, and I’m greeted by the sight of a pair of tits, attached to a beautiful blonde, pressed against the glass. I called her Lulu when she introduced herself as no. 410, now she’s getting fucked from behind by no. 211, Nick, the IT guy. Her moans seep through the glass. I’m jealous that I’m not that mindless, having all my holes filled by some well-endowed dork.
“Arroyo, Corbin…” Hank reads.
I turn back to look up at him. He’s browsing the Associate Relations site on his monitor.
“Associate Designation…no. 752,” Hank reads back to me. He’s slipped on a pair of reading glasses that make him look like Clark Kent. Fuck, I’m gonna sallow every drop of him. “She’s in Research and Development…security level three. I can…I can take you to her.”
“Yeah?” I say with a little bounce.
“Anything…for you, Mistress Tabbie…” Hank exhales. I swear, I told him to call me Supervisor! “I just…I just need…”
“I know, baby,” I say, my wrist picking up speed. “I’ll let you cum first.”
All the pressure in Hank’s shoulders releases at once, his body sinking into his chair, sinking into me. He closes his eyes and mutters, “I just need you to repeat…”
“Repeat what?” I smile.
“Bravo…bandwidth..s-sea foam…carpetbagger…”
Fuck.
I want to jump up. I want to clap my hand over his stupid sexy mouth, but my knees are weak from all the fucking.
“Waiting room…downtown…colossus…”
Come on, baby. Think of how good we could have it.
“Mitigate…”
One word left. Hank’s eyes open. They're glassy with tears. They've sure done a number on this old Adonis, but my will is stronger.
I am an Alpha.
“Theta!”
I’m sure there’s a lesson here somewhere.
My vision’s fading now, the world melting into a beautiful kaleidoscopic blur of color. All I can see is the empty bliss of module four, and I gladly let it wash over my mind until my sense of self is inseparable from the colors. I s’pose I’ll break free of this by lunch too. I hope I’ll be hungry then, I’m already so full.
Wait, do you hear that? So far away, but I hear a voice. And I know this is crazy, but it almost sounds like my own…
“Bravo. Bandwidth. Sea foam. Carpetbagger. Waiting room. Downtown. Colossus. Mitigate. Theta.”

Captured #1: The Tip
Originally published Jun 21, 2016 This series is being revised
When I started investigating crime around Carpenter State University, I didn't think it would be that big of a deal. It was just a small blog that I ran out of my apartment, but word spread fast and soon I had students all around campus sending me emails asking for my help. Since I learned to read I've wanted to be a journalist, and I knew as a student that I wasn't powerless to act. I could be the voice for the voiceless. I could use my talent now, while I'm here. That's why I started blogging. I made enemies quickly too--the fraternities, the athletics department, eventually the college administration. Remember the Carpenter State football scandal? The coach who gave hookers to recruits? I broke that story after the administration thought it was safely buried. I've been the bad guy, I've been the hero. But I don't care what you think of me. I'm only doing the right thing.
But I know you're not here for my background as an investigative blogger. You want to hear about my internship with Santiago Cruz, about how she turned me into her brainwashed slave, another loyal fashion blogger who mindlessly dismisses the dubious ethics behind Obedience By Fleur. You want to hear about the pleasure I receive following my Mistress' commands. How she took the champion of social justice that I used to be and molded me into a compliant puppet begging for my next command. But that's not where this story begins. First, let me tell you about Piper.
When I met Piper she was a biology major with zero background in journalism or writing. But Piper had been inspired by my blog, and she volunteered to help me. She became my first employee. By that time I'd built up quote the reputation around school and investigating leads was becoming difficult. Piper could slip into any party, event, or class unnoticed. I have to admit I envied her--I loved the chase, and I often felt relegated to the computer when Piper was out doing the real work. But that was the price I payed for kicking this particularly hornet's nest. Piper admitted to me that she hadn't been passionate about social issues until she started reading my blog, but ever she'd plowed through all of my articles in a night and felt a call to action. A few friends in her circle had started their own watch groups, but Piper wanted to be involved with me. She wanted to see change in action. She was loyal, devoted to nothing but bringing justice back to Carpenter State. She had a great heart.
I didn't think much of it when Piper volunteered to investigate rumors that a sorority on campus was forcing pledges to wear Obedience by Fleur lingerie. Stories about the product had been popping up around campus, but it was difficult to investigate anything. Many of the girls who wore the lingerie had done it willfully, and I suspected the ones who didn't, like the Alpha Delta Theta pledges, were too brainwashed to say anything. That's why this story was a great opportunity to finally take on a growing issue in the community. It wasn't just a feeling anymore, I'd been given names, locations, even testimony of what the Alpha girls were doing to the pledges when they were under. My source said it had begun with menial tasks like cleaning house and tending bar. But the older girls had grown power hungry, and soon they were taking their pledges to bed.
Pledge season was over, but Piper slipped in as an outsider, making friends with one of the Alpha Delta Theta girls at a prohibition era-themed St. Patrick's Day party. After expressing an interest in pledging in the fall, Piper's new friend took her to Madison Wells, the sorority president. Piper learned quickly that Madison was the mastermind of the whole Obedience by Fleur hazing, and she was getting the most out of her slaves. Madison was sitting on the couch, two slaves on either side of her. They didn't seem to have much to do other than cuddle up close to her, but Piper got the impression that they were more a part of Madison's ego trip than actually serving a purpose at the party. Another girl stood by her at all times, arms at her side, eyes staring forward in that robotic expression waiting for her orders. "Another drink, Abigail," Madison would say, and her slave would reply, "Yes, sister," before marching off to fetch her another cocktail. "Are you enjoying the party?" Madison asked Piper as the young investigator took a seat on the sofa across from Madison's couch.
"Yes," Piper replied. "It's very classy," Madison smiled and nodded. "I know the roaring twenties isn't the most original theme but I'm a literature major and I just can't get enough of Fitzgerald." The girl returned with a glass and Madison took a sip and continued to speak to Piper. The young girl by her side looked hurt to be ignored by her mistress, but she returned to her statuesque stance. "Have you had a drink?" Madison asked Piper. "No," Piper replied. "Not yet. Are they...?" She pointed to the two girls cuddling close to Madison. "My slaves, for now," Madison continued to smile. "Before we just had pledges dress up in ridiculous outfits and run down the street but I think this is the best hazing I've ever come up with." "How long are they going to be like that?" "Oh, just for the semester," Madison stroked the head of her left slave. The young girl returned a desiring whimper. "Once they've learned loyalty to our sisters, I'll release them. Of course they're free to think on their own outside of the house, so they can attend classes and work and I give them proper time for homework too but they have to do their chores first. The house has never looked this nice. And the party, they're such great decorators, aren't they?"
Piper nodded, trying not to look too disgusted.
"So what makes you want to be an Alpha girl?" Madison asked. "I've been looking for a sorority to pledge to since I started last fall," Piper lied. She despised everything about Greek life, and she wasn't even a freshman. "But so far I just...haven't liked the culture. Nothing fits for me."
"Oh?" Madison raised an eyebrow. "Of course, you know that membership isn't the only thing you pledge to Alpha Delta Theta." Madison turned her attention to her right slave, reaching around the young woman's body and squeezing her breast. A tiny squeak escaped from the girl's lips. "Some of the girls were reluctant, but Tina here, she couldn't wait to pledge her mind to the sisters." "Sister," Tina said in her quiet voice. "Are you going to play with me?" "Not now, Tina. Remember that patience is a virtue," Madison looked back to Piper and continued, "I like this one so much that I may have to keep her when the semester is over. I don't think she'll mind."
Piper's eyes darted to the floor. Her heart must have been jacked as she watched Madison's display of power over her pledges. "To tell you the truth," Piper began. "I want to feel the pleasure of serving Alpha Delta Theta too," More lies, but Piper knew that she had to say what she had to say to keep Madison dumb.
Madison's eyes scanned Piper's body and she concluded with a kind smile, "You're cute! I can't wait to have you as one of my sister's."
Piper broke away from the crowd at her first chance, finding a closet to hide in and message me. She sent me one text: "Got some good stuff. Snuck some pictures. Getting out of here." Piper hit send and heard the squeak of the doorknob behind her. She spun around to face the open door, the bright lights of the party, and a disappointed Madison standing before her. "Oh shit," Piper said.
The next morning I awoke to find no new messages from Piper. It was alarming, but I figured that she must have passed out when she got home and I left my apartment to track her down. Her place was just around the corner, and when I got there I buzzed for her to let me in but there was no response. She wasn't answering my texts, her phone went straight to voicemail. I told myself that it had been a late night and she was still in bed, so I sat down on a bench and waited. Regardless of what I hoped, I was starting to get the feeling that Piper had never made it home. And when I get a feeling, I'm almost never wrong.
Back at the sorority, the girls had passed out after a long night of partying. But in her bedroom, Madison was wide awake training her newest pledge. "Don't you feel so much better?" Madison asked, admiring her slave's athletic body. "Yes, sister," Piper replied, standing at attention for her mistress, stripped down to nothing but her new pair of Obedience by Fleur lingerie. "You were trying to get me in trouble," Madison frowned. "I'm sorry, sister Madison. I was a bad girl." "Mmm, that's right," Madison hummed as she slipped her hand down into Piper's panties. "Now I'm going to have to punish you." "Please," Piper breathed. The once independent girl had nothing on her mind now but the wishes of her mistress, the desire to be punished and the rewards she would receive through obedience. Piper was a strong woman, but even she couldn't fight the powerful waves of pleasure circulating through her body, and Madison had promised more pleasure if she submit. So she did. "Please, punish me." Piper repeated.
Madison smiled. "When I'm through with you, you'll be my masterpiece."

Forever torn between wanting to write hot smut and wanting to write hypnofiction in the style of a David Foster Wallace essay
I think a handful of Democrats have woken up to this but a big problem with their strategy is that they don't know how to tie Trump's policies to "affordability" so everything has to redirect to "I'm less concerned about blank and more concerned about making things more affordable." But like, it's all connected? At a time when consumer optimism is this low, paying a country $300bil to end a war the president started, dumpling a military's worth of money into deportations (and losing tax dollars in the process), and endless vanity projects which have no ceiling on their budgets, none of this should be hard to connect for the average American
“We’re paying $300bn to Iran for making your gas $7 a gallon” is not a hard message. It’s even basically true.
Add "paying energy companies billions of dollars to not produce clean energy" to the list of crazy waste

Upcoming Changes
This is one of those administrative things that won't fundamentally impact anyone but myself, but I wanted to share a little bit about my plans for this blog moving forward.
The biggest change is that I'm eliminating the Quick Hits brand.
Quick Hits started in late 2022 as a story banner for the quick tumblr captions that I reposted to DeviantArt. Tumblr is far more favorable to the one-off vignettes, so over time it became my favorite way to write stories. While it's been fun to watch the number of Quick Hits go up, I think having a "35" next to a standalone hypnocaption puts me at a disadvantage in terms of gaining and maintaining readership. While the majority of my stories are in a shared setting, I don't ever want to give the impression that these stories have to be read in a certain order to understand what's going on. I don't know anyone who's turned on by homework.
The Quick Hits brand hasn't made sense for a long time because most entries are part of another series (Alphas, Assimilation Futurum, etc.) and few of the hits are really that quick anyway. So, I'm simply removing the "Quick Hits" part of these titles.
And no, this has nothing to do with the fact that Quick Hits #14 fucking sucks so much that it stopped my Quick Hits cleanup project for months and I don't want to rewrite it, why would you ask me that?
In the absence of the Quick Hits banner, I need some way to make these shorts identifiable under each series, which means making new tags. I've not taken tagging super seriously on tumblr, mostly because I'm very lazy and bad at tagging stories, but if you're into Assimilation stories I want there to be some place that explicitly lists Interdisciplinary Studies as part of that series.
I already have the big continuity masterlist, but this only sorts each story in chronological order, there's little series context aside from what you might pick up from the blurbs. There are a few ways that I can approach this, but I think what I'll do is make a second masterlist that focuses on series rather than continuity. I don't want to include it all in one masterlist because it's a lot of information to just list twice in one post, so we'll see how that turns out.
If you are, for some reason, a big fan of Quick Hits #14 and hate to see it retconned, no worries! That one's a hastily written caption that basically repackages information from An Alpha Interview #1: Ashley Mangum. I actually have not posted An Alpha Interview #1 on the main blog yet because it, too, needs to be rewritten but I have some ideas for what I want to do with Ashley which will go in that rewrite and basically combine the two stories.
One idea I want to explore as I get deeper into Alphas lore is how all the former sisters almost immediately seek out new means of subjugation after the sorority is shut down. We've seen how Dr. Fielding's deprogramming also puts them under her control, but there are plenty of opportunities in Romero for a brainwashing hungry slave to get their fix.
