The Cosmos, The Arrivals, Book 1, Chapter 4, Tiffany Transparent: Arrives at Cosmos House, Day 1, Section 5, Babs & Janet: Talk about Tiffany Porn Star & Pledge ¶ Babs returns to the Kitchen to discover Janet looking at the Tiffany Porn Star Calendar. “I came back to see who all’s on your Manifest this Term,” Janet advances. ¶ “Well, my first Pledge arrived.” BB gestures to the Kitchen Calendar. “And that’s her!” ¶ Janet raises her eyebrows. “Wow, Tiffany Porn Star. What’s she doing here?” ¶ Babs takes in a deep breath and silently exhales. “She says she’s a Double-Opt Up Whore. Ex-Whore. She still looks like a Whore. She’s going to crimp my authority.” ¶ Janet scratches her bare jaxy. “Don’t overreact. Tiffany was a Whore last Term. And a Double-Opt Up is not supposed to happen.” Janet casts her eyes about. “Where is she?” ¶ Babs sits at the Kitchen table and rests her chin in one hand. “I sent her over to the Peacocks to get a shirt change. Sleeveless translucent silk for something more respectable: long sleeves, buttons down the front.” ¶ “Two Garments,” Janet twinkles. “Sounds like something you can change into and cover your crescents d’areolage. You are the Monitor Boss after all.” ¶ “You know her?” BB guesses. ¶ Janet turns a chair around so she can squeeze her jugs into the back of the chair and flush her jipijapa between spread legs. She carefully extracts two heavy sex lips, each with three rings, and lays them to each side of the string that advances from the bottom of the Spiderweb toward her jaxy crack. “Double triplets, one piece,” Janet says. ¶ Babs presses, “Com’on. You danced the Nugget. Two Terms ago. I bet you knew her before we became Cosmos Pledge.” ¶ “Yeah, okay,” Janet bemuses. “She was my Roommate when I Stripped the Nugget.” ¶ “You never told me about her!” BB accuses her former Roommate. {And you’re my friend?} ¶ “You never asked,” Janet retorts, “and why would you? Tiffany and I were Stripper Roommates two Terms ago; I Opted Up to Pledge, and Tiffany Opted to Whore. It never mattered before. It doesn’t matter now. What {does} matter is that you need to find out what this former cum receptacle did to deserve two Garments and a Double Opt-Up.” ¶ Babs wrinkles her nose. “I don’t get her. And the way she’s dressed—with her tamtart-face and silky top and vulgar slacks—why she’s {still dressed} like a Whore. She shows off in public like this! She {wants} this public persona! Hello, paparazzi!” ¶ “Once a Porn Star, always a Porn Star,” Janet recites an old Gamer Saying, then advances complications: “Don’t be surprised if Tiffany already knows any incoming Pledge promoting from Stripper this Term.” ¶ Babs frowns a question. ¶ Janet advances, “It’s because Whores frequently Feature Dance at the Nugget….” Janet tucks a cheek into her neck and smiles. “During their visits they can turn tricks in the Champagne Room. And act like Porn Stars in the Inner Sanctuary.” ¶ Janet smiles and centers her nipples in the Spiderweb halter. “Dancing and turning tricks are two different Castes,” she clarifies. “We had a bunch of Feature Dancers pass through when I Stripped, and they all sucked dick in the Champagne Room. Ate pussy too. And of course they all fucked. But work Rules forbid Strippers to cross this line. Strippers dance 8x5; Whores trick 12x7.” ¶ “Tiffany will freak out any newbies,” Babs frets. ¶ “Tiffany Porn Star will freak out any promoting Strippers even more,” Janet raises. “They won’t know what to make of her turning up in your Cosmos House. It’s very out-of-School.” ¶ “Yeah, okay, so Tiffany is going to ferment unease in my Pledge. If they peel away her history and discover her infamy, that is,” Babs confesses. “Unease with me too. This Porn Star and former Whore is gonna mind-fuck all of us!” ¶ Janet pauses to make sure she is correct in her assessment. “Tiffany can dance as well as any Stripper can. She knows all the steps, six ways to pull pink, and how to make her naked twat squeak the pole. And she also knows all the tricks!” ¶ BB understands. “She doesn’t need to intimidate to intimidate.” ¶ “So who decided this ex-Whore should go from being naked with dicks in her holes to wearing two pieces of clothes at {my} Cosmos House?” BB demands. ¶ Janet hems and haws. “Well, not you or me. We didn’t decide who would be a Cosmos this Term. Get real! We were both Pledge last Term. We were in no position to make any decisions.” ¶ Babs gives pause. “It’s one thing Tiffany ‘bin ho,’ but she’s also {my} Roommate. Why is that? Who assigned her to occupy that little cubicle underneath {my} bunk?” ¶ Janet raises her hands. ¶ BB continues, “Maybe she’s got power alliances, a sponsor, some latent factor driving her advancement.” ¶ Janet understands. “Maybe you worry more than you need to, because maybe she really does crave being a Porn Star. She’s hip to the Game, she’s already ‘tainted’ by porn, and I bet all she wants to do is Opt Down and Strip. The last th
