Episode 52 Pinup + Poll!
Added 2024-06-12 16:00:10 +0000 UTC
Few people know that Mr. Davis is not only a self-proclaimed sociopath, but also a self-proclaimed music lover. His wife, Kendra, has accompanied him to many concerts and operas - and Davis makes sure she never needs to wear the same gown twice!
The question is... Will you separate this 'happy' couple? 😉
That is, will Mrs. Ferris agree to Xu's terms / veiled threat? Keep in mind, Mrs. Ferris only recently promised Sandy that there will be no more lies or secrets between them!
P.S. The image is much larger if you download the attachment. 😊

I wasn't sure, Robert - but I hoped it would! I think it's an interesting moral dilemma... and ripe for drama!

2024-06-21 02:01:35 +0000 UTCBy the way, Emory, when you posted the poll did you expect it to generate so much interest?

2024-06-20 06:31:51 +0000 UTCInteresting point, Robert (as usual!). Ferris might see this as an opportunity to exact her own form of justice. She certainly wouldn't trust Xu or Davis to handle Kendra in any way that aligns with her own sense of morality, twisted as it may be by their influence. I agree Mrs Ferris' motivations are layered. She could see this as a chance to protect Kendra from Davis's brutality while simultaneously forcing Kendra to confront her past actions. I love the idea that it’s a power play, but also a chance for potential redemption, albeit on Elaine's terms. But does Kendra deserve that slim possibility of hope?
Emory Ahlberg
2024-06-15 03:58:10 +0000 UTCThanks, Jade! Yeah, Davis is a music junkie, and he thinks he is sophisticated! There were definitely times Kendra made a problem for Davis... but that rebellious phase didn't last long. For reasons. 😬 Kendra has a little necklace, but that's it - not even a wedding ring! Frankly, it's because he's a cheap piece of shit.
Emory Ahlberg
2024-06-15 03:42:49 +0000 UTCThe TV series is wonderful. They should do the next season about a certain "facility" in North Dakota. 😉
Emory Ahlberg
2024-06-15 03:36:51 +0000 UTCThanks, Allan! Ferris isn't responsible for his predicament, though. She wanted him to be arrested. Xu prevented that from happening and had him changed into Kendra instead. So, she really WOULD be "saving" him.
Emory Ahlberg
2024-06-15 03:29:00 +0000 UTCExcellent point on the wiggle room, Phoebe. Whatever version of events Ferris chooses to share with Sandy, she will no doubt cherry pick the facts to make it more palatable. You're right that Sandy has already been encouraging Nikki to be more open, so if it starts out that way, it may not even be a problem for her... of course, then maybe it'll slowly ramp up...
Emory Ahlberg
2024-06-15 03:27:31 +0000 UTCThanks, Gemma! It may not be too hard to convince Sandy that this would be for Nikki's "own good." Mrs Ferris knows Hutchinson rather well through business - he is not a good man to disappoint...
Emory Ahlberg
2024-06-15 03:24:01 +0000 UTCI doubt Davis has given her much pleasure over the years - but perhaps she has taken care of herself. 😉
Emory Ahlberg
2024-06-15 03:22:17 +0000 UTCMaybe she won't forgive Kendra... Maybe she'll punish her even more!
Emory Ahlberg
2024-06-15 03:15:53 +0000 UTCExcellent questions, Anon! I'd say the answer to the first is a BIG YES. Maybe Xu would hibe him another toy... but would that ever compare with Kendra (his once friend)? That's a very, um, UNIQUE dynamic.
Emory Ahlberg
2024-06-15 03:13:56 +0000 UTCThe veiled threat was that refusing would put Mrs Ferris' business dealings with Hutchinson on very thin ice. A good part of her money relies on investments her (former) husband made with Hutchinson, and she remains on good terms with him as a business partner. I need to get out the "Dramatis Personae" for Half Sisters soon! You're definitely not the only one who wants Davis get his just desserts. Maybe this poll is just the beginning...
Emory Ahlberg
2024-06-15 03:11:19 +0000 UTCSay what you will about Second Dawn, but they have AMAZING trans health care (whether you want it or not) 😉
Emory Ahlberg
2024-06-15 03:05:57 +0000 UTCIn the twisted and degraded moral universe that Xu has forced in all the other players, Elaine Ferris has a relatively simple choice when it comes to Kendra’s fate: leave her in the hands of someone who she knows to be a sadistic brute who will enjoy torturing her both physically and mentally, or take her under her own wing where she can exact her own chosen form of punishment for the unspeakable crimes and cruelties that she committed against her own daughter when she was Ken. Of course she’ll choose the latter, partly out of compassion, also because it’s the right thing to do, but in the end mostly because it puts her back in control of a key aspect of her own life. Being able to humble Kendra in a subordinate and submissive role may bring her some much needed satisfaction, perhaps redemption of sorts, but over time, rehabilitation too. Remember where Sandy started from, after all.

2024-06-14 14:53:36 +0000 UTCAlex, it’s rude to keep posting these very long scenes on Emory’s patreon comments. There are a lot of better platforms for such things.
Jade Diaz
2024-06-14 05:47:58 +0000 UTCFirst, Davis took Kendra to an organ concert? Wow. Second, it strikes me as strange that Davis would want to show off his trophy wife in a setting where she could easily embarrass him. But maybe she’s already tried that and suffered for it. Imagine Kendra going to use the bathroom at intermission. Does she go with a flunkie minder? Unsupervised? It seems like a risky situation. Third, Kendra has _no_ jewelry. You’d think a piece of shit like Davis would want to crank the envy all the way up, and bedazzle Kendra with plenty of ice. With Kendra’s appearance she is going to collect a lot of attention- most of it negative. It’s just surprising how Davis didn’t even put a collar around her neck just so she never forgets her position. Fourth, drop dead Davis. I can only hope your time is close at hand.
Jade Diaz
2024-06-14 05:38:04 +0000 UTCMy apologies for my tardy response, muse Emory. I was simply looking for how to best reply in the spirit of my characters whom you've graciously allowed into your Xuniverse. I hope the wedding had many fond memories that last a lifetime and that you enjoy yourself with a well earned respite. The magnificent round inlaid table clicked with the sound of black fingernails against the wood, only slightly muffled by the expensive silk cover and thick cotton...and plastic beneath...placemats that Summer Chastity Crowe©™ placed on the table as she arranged it meticulously for the meeting of Platinum Star members. She knew full well that Kendra Davis was Mr. Davis's wife and as far Summer was concerned that made her above Platinum Star. She didn't bark at Summer when Summer was ordered out of the pool, she simply asked for meeting, but Summer knew it was an order nonetheless. But she knew the other members of Platinum Star very well...some would say far too well. Her mother Dr. Delilah Crowe©™ and her aunts, the doctors Delia, Darla and Danica Crowe. With her long flowing locks of black hair and piercing gaze, Delilah looked every bit like Holly Monroe called her "Czar Ivan with tits", all she was missing was the beard and Monomakh Cap as she already had the sable trim on her black leather dress. Holly didn't call Delilah that anymore...certainly not within earshot...and reach...of Summer...after Summer slapped her hard enough to crack a lip and draw blood. To Summer they all looked so identical sometimes, especially when they put up an unbreakable wall of emotionless, blank, piercing gazes. A murder of crows/Crowes...sitting in judgement of a murderer named Kendra Davis...but Summer of course didn't know anything about that. Even Davis squirmed and Summer could swear she saw in his eyes...hesitation...even fear when Delilah Crowe confronted him about Summer's castration...botched by Anton and Yasir...and how she expected to be adequately compensated. Summer lost a lot of blood which could've been used for transfusions, given Summer's immensely robust immune system...and to fatten the Crowe family's already immense coffers. Delilah demanded her blood money...literally. Davis assured her it would come from Anton's and Yasir's...compensation packages as Xu vetoed...putting them through the program. "-Waste not, want not, Mr. Davis." Delia and Darla...the middle sisters...looked and dressed identical to Delilah, their shorter hair differentiating them in Summer's eyes...although not Kendra's. Aunt Danica with her her short blonde hair...like Kendra...looked every single bit reptilian emotionless like Morena Baccarin's Queen/High Commander Anna from the movie V (2009), their platinum diamond and red diamond encrusted compass necklaces, rings and bracelets gleaming in the light and identifying them as Platinum Stars members. Kendra's much simpler necklace star with diamonds reminded Summer's of a Soviet field marshal's star decoration...as she served the salmon salad and poured the wine, a Château Margaux 2009 and Delilah added a custom-made pair of perfectly fitted ear plugs in her ears, ordering her to stand in the corner. She was now deaf as a post, like her mother intended. "-You called this meeting with us, Mrs. Davis and my daughter Summer went to great lengths and risks to arrange it. We already have pleasure...the food...let us talk business plainly." Delilah told Kendra, her piercing gaze eyeing Kendra up and down like a laboratory specimen. Summer told Kendra her mother would do that and she doesn't trust her...so Kendra was unfazed. "-I have lost someone near and dear to me. In a fit of rage, I hit her, she fell down the stairs...marble, you see. I was wondering if you sisters would take pity on me...and bring her back. I'm starting to see her...and others who have suffered "Attrition" in my dreams, every time I ascend and descend a staircase." Kendra said fighting back tears as Delilah eyed her emotionlessly, handing her a tissue as she sipped her wine. "-A little late now to grow a conscience, Mrs. Davis...or perhaps I should deadname you Mr. Kenneth Ferris. Summer...sweet angel, bless her soul, knows not the GORY details but I assure my sisters and I do. These rooms are monitored 24/7, I'm not Zhang Yong Xu or your husband Terrence Davis, but DO NOT for a minute presume I...or my sisters...are fools. I would also caution you that while this certainly feasible theoretically, and more than possible with current technology...there's no way to know the long term effects of the normal aging process on another...Sophia...not to mention memory and emotions. Secondly before I even begin anything, I will require DNA sample from either soft tissue, bone or teeth. I sincerely doubt Elaine will permit that." Delilah said as she and her sisters started eating hungrily into her salad salad, motioning Summer over to refill the wine glasses as needed. "-And saving the best for last...I will need to run this entire discussion by Mr. Xu and Mr. Davis...and get their say-so. Everything is recorded live; however; I'm not a rash imbecile like the late Thomas Monroe or the equally late Kenneth Ferris...I prefer to die in my bed at Eldermount Ranch and be buried next to my ancestors...which means I will NEVER take any action that isn't EXPLICITLY approved...however grudgingly...by your bosses. Both of them, Kendra...not to mention I have some conditions of my own...as does my sweet sister Danica. The blonde one." Delilah finished her food first and Summer took her mother's plate, before serving her tiramisu for dessert.

2024-06-14 05:00:51 +0000 UTCGood point, Jen! Also, Mrs Ferris never asked for this - she wanted him to go to jail, not be changed. It also makes sense that she may not want to reject Xu’s “offer” because of his power and wealth, no matter how she might truly feel.
Emory Ahlberg
2024-06-14 03:56:01 +0000 UTCYou are I think alike, Tim! 😉 Sandy want well need a full-on conspiracy of girls to help….
Emory Ahlberg
2024-06-14 03:54:04 +0000 UTCLot of Fargo fans here - what about a TG take on the movie, Emory?
Robertlouis
2024-06-14 02:53:48 +0000 UTCThe way I see it, It doesn't make any sense to accept Ken's request. Considering what has Mrs. Ferris done to her, she has a significant motivation to revenge to Mrs. Ferris. Mrs. Ferris is not that naive women. She may not take the possible risk to her and her family.
Allan Kim
2024-06-13 16:09:50 +0000 UTCThe toughest part of this one is seeing the potential for good story and complex character relationships if Mrs. Ferris chooses to take responsibility for Kendra while hiding the truth from Sandy, but knowing that the fallout from that could be catastrophic for their relationship. And knowing that Mrs. Ferris knows that! It's also tough imagining how Sandy would feel about being part of this. She's already encouraging Nikki in her own way and at her own pace, and pushing harder might have a more detrimental than helpful effect. And would she really want to be part of whatever happens with Kendra? Ultimately, I had to go with the popular option of Mrs. Ferris looping Sandy in on the situation, but will she be completely honest? There's certainly a lot of wiggle room in how this could go...
Phoebe Nocturne
2024-06-13 13:20:19 +0000 UTCWhilst i selected the second option I also think Mrs Ferris would not be 100% honest with Sandy and be selective in her version of the truth that places her in a good light. She may need to convince Sandy of some veiled underlying threat to get her to part of any plan to manipulate Nicky ( i.e. for her own good and well being). I also believe she would save Kendra even if only to convince herself that she is not in anyway ‘just like Mr Xu.’ This does not mean Kendra gets off ‘Scott free’ (excuse the pun). I’m sue Mrs Ferris will make sure Kendra pays in one way or another for her deeply seeded misogynistic beliefs and past behaviours.
Gemma
2024-06-12 20:48:37 +0000 UTCI'm torn. Ultimately I want to see sexy scenes of Kendra. Whichever gets us many of those scenes and brings them to life the fastest. Also, it'd be awesome to see her fight it when she's clear headed, but an absolute freak in the sheets. Like she's addicted to the pleasure somehow, but extreme shame in her behavior afterwards. A lingering post-nut clarity if you will.
DJ
2024-06-12 20:46:25 +0000 UTCTeams she refuse... please.👃👃👃👃 How can she be forgivable about the one who kill her child after what she did to scott /sandy. And she don't give a shit of nikky and her family
Nolwenn
2024-06-12 19:59:31 +0000 UTCSo many questions about the fall out of something like this. Will Davis become even more of an abusive asshole if he doesn't have a personal pet at home? Everyone is saying annoy Davis but I don't see him losing a toy without making it someone else's problem. What will Xu do for him to make up for taking his "wife"? Maybe give him a choice for a replacement?
non anon
2024-06-12 18:42:13 +0000 UTCTo be honest, I don’t remember what the threat was but if it’s something that makes Davis unhappy, that’s all I need to know. So long as Ferris doesn’t break her word to Sandy and only Davis is hurt in the process. I can’t be the only one who wants Davis to get what’s coming to him. He doesn’t even deserve to become a beautiful woman. That’s too good for him Emphasis on beautiful
Emily
2024-06-12 17:54:55 +0000 UTCThat was easy... time for how quickly i clicked the middle option should be measured in milliseconds ❣️ P.S. damn Kenda turned out pretty🔥🔥🔥
Maggie Heels
2024-06-12 17:43:13 +0000 UTCAre you giving away your guess on who shot Xu, Robert?
Tim
2024-06-12 17:01:34 +0000 UTCI don’t think it’s so much annoy Davis as enrage him, thereby creating a means of destroying Second Dawn, and Xu with it, from within.

2024-06-12 16:25:21 +0000 UTCMy momma always did say I was too soft hearted. I don't think he's made up for what he did to his daughter but I think Mrs. Ferris can do a better job of begging to balance the scales of justice. I also think even Sandy would agree Davis doesn't deserve any bit of happiness. Just ask Nikki
Jennifer
2024-06-12 16:16:01 +0000 UTCYes. annoy Davis while telling Sandy everything... then see what happens if/when Sandy solicits plan inputs from Jessica and Nikki.
Tim
2024-06-12 16:10:53 +0000 UTCTeam Annoy Mr Davis
