More and more folks seem to be getting used as scratching posts in my "To Post" backlog. I wish sharper claws also let me break through writes block faster.

I still intend to complete the remaining posts for the current iteration of #SnaredEnrichment and I'm not sure how weird it is for me to start a different mini-series before that one completes. If y'all have thoughts, let me know.

Here's a quick glance through your enclosure to explain some of the sounds you may have been hearing. You know how foxxos make such a range of sounds, right?

Part 5 of this set of #SnaredEnrichment starring @Trey and @xYourEmoGFx

The problem at paw, one sealed bottle of water. One clever foxxo with no usable paws, one pup with only one paw usable at a time. How does one water a foxxo properly?

They identified that the spouty parts of the water bottle and the foxxo face should be near each other. And then the fact that they need to unscrew the water bottle cap. Is screwing experience transferable to unscrewing skills? Maybe we'll find out... Don't forget to read the #AltText

Part 4 of this set of #SnaredEnrichment starring @Trey and @xYourEmoGFx

The air smells sweeter somehow. You're posture is better with your wrists tied back this way. Maybe you should try it more often. While you were coalescing from this novel experience, the foxxo by the wall, expresses a need for water. Did you know that you're supposed to water foxxos more frequently than plants? It's true!

The keeper simply provides a water bottle, still capped. They express a playful confidence that between the pup and the foxxo, they can figure out how to open it. Unlike the last time, the pup can only use one hand at a time. She might have asked you for help, but the predicament wasn't clear until it was right in front of the foxxo. This has the same energy as a pup enthusiastically fetching a stick through a door that is too narrow.

They both pause for a moment, eyeing the bottle tentatively, considering the problem. The attempt is documented in Part 5.

#CW Partial Nudity (Breasts)

For some folks, it's time for holidays, and a subset of those are going to be hanging out with family.

I felt it might be too mean to allow this without a small brief opportunity for #SnaredEnrichment

If you want to feel more awkward around family, just leave this post unblurred on your phone for a while. Just forget it's there for the next time you unlock your device, savor your dash of adrenaline before scrolling away, or just freeze in the moment. Your choice.

Part 3 of this set of #SnaredEnrichment

What do you call a pup that does a good job? For this particular pup, the preferred term is Good Girl. And everyone knows that Good Girls get a little reward for doing a good job. For round 1 of successfully watering the foxxo, @Trey gets to be a little tied up. Then she will be tasked with watering the foxxo again to test their cooperative puzzle solving abilities.

You learn this agenda by simply having asked. The pup is happy to give you information. They want you to feel included, after all. You noticed that the music and various other sounds around you didn't seem to hamper communication as much as you thought it might. You consider more questions to ask of this pup, but are overcome by a feeling of self consciousness. You have suddenly become aware of your hands, and don't know what to do with them. You take a deep breath to interrupt the anxiety and keep it from compounding into panic. As if reading your mind, your host entity appears at your periphery. Their presence is simultaneously startling and soothing. You feel their gently whispered question clearly in your mind.

Yes, you respond almost instantly. You consent to your wrists being tied. You do feel a bit nervous about skin contact, but they simply indicated rope-only. You weren't sure if that was even possible, but it is. You feel only the texture of soft but grippy rope as it snakes around both your wrists and forearms. You feel your skin tingle from the proximity to theirs but they expertly maneuver around without closing that gap. Your wrists are gently cinched closer together behind your back. There's a bit of rope in between them as a sort of spacer to account for your flexibility. You know you were already under the care and protection of this enby, but now it feels more tangible with the constant reminder of the rope binding your hands to each other and yourself to your keeper.

You take a much easier breath, and return your attention to the pup... Continued in the #AltText

The pups willingness to offer up information no matter the accuracy extends to replies to any of the stories in this set. Just in case that's useful information for anyone.

You wanted to look around but ended up transfixed on the binding ritual. Methodical, smooth, sensual are all good descriptors for how the rope weaved around to complete the harness. You're unsure if you want to be able to charm rope onto bodies like that, if you want to be the one being tied, or if it's simply the pleasure of watching it that fills you with appreciation and a hint of longing.

The foxxo needs to be watered though. Fae has had a dry mouth based on the sounds made with some of the touch involved with the tie. It can be quite distressing for any creature to feel dry. Textures become rougher, sounds become sharper, everything becomes weaker, and you can feel yourself shrivel slowly down to the bone. You can't even cry about it as your eyes refuse to make tears. The torment can be easily resolved by reuniting the flesh with moisture, the droplets bearing life. A pup has been summoned to complete the task... Continued in the #AltText

#KatPics #RopeBondage

You awake to a familiar weightless sensation and a difficult to parse visual field. It's finally happening! You're being let out from your enclosure for some enrichment.

Gravity returns, and you give yourself a moment to adjust. The smell of leather, wood, and rope fills the air alongside the different smells of skin interacting with various fluids. Sounds of chains, leathery cracks and smacks, thumps of heavy boots on hardwood floors, cries, moans, whimpers, all fade into your soundscape. Music masks these a bit, and acts to fill any silence in between.

Your eyes adjust to the UV lighting. You're in a familiar nook with a padded floor looking up at a familiar face... Continued in the #AltText

Premise: Reader is housed inside my camera and is occasionally let out for enrichment.

"Then beg!" said the melodic, yet firm voice in your head. You always hear them in your head and not your ears which really gives all of it a surreal overtone.

You had been asked if you wanted to go on a little field trip and it's usually not a question. After mumbling out a "I beg your pardon?", they cocked an eyebrow, seemingly amused.

"I'm sorry?!" you say, a reflex response to the tone, before you have even processed the words.

"You want to beg a pardon, right? To go on this little excursion? So, beg properly", their tone is simultaneously playful, tender, and intensely intimidating. You fall to your knees, expecting a painful thud, but you haven't yet gotten used to all the cushioning that seems to appear at times like this. You look up with pleasing eyes, and feeling just a little sassy, touch your forefinger tips together.

They have a little giggle with the psychic voice "You make a strong case" and your vision warps and blurs as you feel weightless. You've been getting kind of used to the sensation of falling sideways while still upright.

You feel your weight again, the floor is less padded but not too solid. The smell of vanilla, pine, and leather fills the air. Paradise Circus plays in the background along with a din of thwacks, whip cracks, moans, yelps, growls, and giggles. You've been here before. Your vision clears and centered right in front of you, is that same foxxo that you played with last time.

Thanks to @xYourEmoGFx for letting me post this tie we did earlier this month. It's partially based on the heartbreak karada, with some improv decorations at the hips and some tweaks here and there. It even stayed intact for most of the night except the nipple band. Will probably use clamps or something next time  

All of you should check out @AltAfterDark because #AccessibilityIsHotAF

Assuming you selected Option 3.

It happened quickly, a blinding flash of light, a hazy cloud, and next thing you know there is a fox with many tails in the summoning circle. The previously kneeling themby has already broken the circle and is quickly binding the kitsune in a rope harness. It's blurry for you still as you try to make out the details. The fox is hypnotized and placated during the tie. Once complete, they both make direct eye contact with you and the h3mmy drops the leash.

It's odd to have the release cause your enclosure to shudder, but it did almost as if it hit it somehow. You're startled by this and haven't even seen the fox is no longer on the outside but in there with you. Your foot touches part of the leash connected to the kitsune and you reach for it. You manage to grab it as your world starts warping and contorting. You've been transported, but to where?
