Crossroadsmk2 Updates

[CrossroadsMk2]

Hi everyone, just a quick update. The next chapter is 90% finished. I'll hopefully get the chance to proofread it in the next few days and then post it either late this week or early next week. Thanks for your patience.

[Guest LHunt]

Outstanding news!

Great news

[CrossroadsMk2]

Hi everyone, Chapter 20 has posted. The focus of this chapter was Lara's moral degradation, so that she's ready to bring the story home. Planned events for the next chapters:

1. Sam finally removing the sensory deprivation helmet and revealing that it's been her all along.  I also want Lara's friends using her in the playroom unmasked as well, although that'll probably occur a bit later.

2. Tomb Raider booth at a convention. I've decided to do the gloryhole there as a fan event.

3. Some ponygirl fun at the next Charity Event. I'll think I'll make this Lara's birthday party.

Any other feedback and suggestions always welcome. Have a great day!

Hi Cross, the new chapter was great. I like how after so many chapters Lara has been brainwashed step by step and how she is no longer like she was at the beginning. It's also a bit scary because something like this could probably work in real life, especially with the new chapter summary where Lara is conditioned, cut off from her life and real friends, and then praised for doing things that are obviously not good (but still hot), so her shame is completely replaced with lust, desire, and pride. The next chapter sounds very promising, so I will wait patiently and let you cook

[CrossroadsMk2]

Hi Extreme, thanks for the comment and glad you like where the story is heading. I know it's been a slow burn, but I wanted to try and make Lara's transformation as believable as possible. I think it's got enough of a setup now that I can accelerate the plot faster now.

[Guest Edyrn]

Hello, thank you for the new chapter, a new step forward for our favorite heroine.

Really looking forward to this meeting with her fans, I think it's really another important step for Lara,    in public and outside the so confined and controlled framework of the mansion.

It's also a fight for another version of herself, the adventurer who must finish disappearing, become a slut and satisfy her countless admirers.

Why choose such an exposed outfit for the convention? And not a more "slutty" or "lighter" version of her tomb raider costume for example?

 

For the charity event, I suggest that we ask her to raise funds by giving blowjobs to the men present.

Her female friends have been encouraging her for a while now in her new "career", it is imaginable that good arguments and various flatteries will be enough to convince her to put her "new" talents at the service of a good cause.

Approval of her own behavior and subliminal beginning to associate with reality the members who take advantage of her in the game room.

 

I am already looking forward to reading your next chapter.

[CrossroadsMk2]

Hi Edyrn, thanks for the comment. Lara already wore a much sluttier version of her Tomb Raider outfit at the first Convention she attended (Chapter 6 - The Tomb Raider gets a new public image). Given that her Onlyfans runway outfit was nipple pasties and a thong, going back to her Tomb Raider outfit feels like a step backwards. Even Lara's regular workout gear is more revealing than that now.

 

Love the idea for the Charity fundraiser. It'll be a good progression for Lara as a sex worker - going from anonymous blowjobs behind a gloryhole to servicing clients in person, in front of an audience.

[Guest Edyrn]

Glad you like the idea, besides helping it will increase my pleasure in reading   

To express myself better about the costume, as you say she is already getting used to wearing much less.

I see it more as fan service, is it really an event for the game?
To please the fans and thanks to the main attraction convince a few million players who were still hesitant to join her Onlyfans.

That's just my opinion, and it doesn't change my desire to read the rest.

By the way, didn't you elaborate on who the men were who sodomized Lara behind the curtain of the first convention?

[CrossroadsMk2]

Hi Edyrn, regarding the first Convention, I never elaborated on it, but I always thought that it was a select group of Charity members - Sarah's way of giving them a taste of Lara to whet their appetites, and then use them to convince the others to sign on and pay the 50,000 pound entrance fee.

 

In terms of the costume, my idea is that what Lara wears would be based on a fan poll. 120 million plus players all voted for their favourite Lara Croft outfit from the game (like the armour mods in Skyrim). Lara then wears that outfit as a tribute to the fans. I'll give some thought to how I can keep the general Tomb Raider feel of her outfit, but make it sluttier: crop top now made of  see-through fishnet material, shorts now a specially made thong with belt loops, high lace combat boots with stripper heels at the bottom. I think I can make it work.

[Guest Edyrn]

Hi, This is more or less what we could imagine, but I think that descriptions of different members could improve our vision.
As for me, reading the chapters gives the impression that there are only couples of rich members of the aristocracy.
Couldn't there be adversaries or rivals, old frustrated professors, politicians in business with Sarah... ... all having jumped at the chance to satisfy their fantasy of the beauty.

I feel like I'm apologizing for each message, but I assure you that these are only details, and that it does not take away from my desire to read other adventures of Lara.

For the costume, your description made me think of a Lara disguise used by AKABUR in his game "Star Channel 34" I'll give you a link with images of the costume in question.

I won't explain how this costume comes about if you don't know the game^^  The game is very fun

hope the link works as it should.

[CrossroadsMk2]

Hi Edyrn, the plan at the moment is to keep the different groups separate: just Charity members - wealthy aristocrats etc - for the playroom and Charity events, and Lara's fans for the fan events. However, I can see some merit to having a third group for Lara's rivals, be they academic rivals like old frustrated professors or otherwise. I don't have any plans to make that a major part of the story, but it's certainly feasible to have a scene or two.

A future scene I was planning was for Mary and Sybil to pimp Lara out as entertainment at a bucks party for some wealthy young men - as a way to reward her friends for assisting in turning Lara into a pornstar. Maybe I could do that or something similar with Lara's old professors - both rivals and allies. I feel like I've already covered her military rivals with the Trinity arc, but academic rivals could be interesting - and another part of Lara's former life to be torn down by Lady Sarah's corrupting influence.

[Guest Edyrn]

Hello,

i like the idea of bachelor party entertainment, but would this really be a step forward in Lara's moral decadence?      compared to what she's already done I mean.

[CrossroadsMk2]

Hi Edyrn, you need to remember that all of this is happening in conjunction with her Onlyfans, Charity events etc. It's all part of showing her moral corruption: she starts doing stuff in private (behind a camera) but escalated to doing it in public; she starts out reluctant and embarrassed, but over time becomes enthusiastic and shameless.

 

In terms of the idea above, if instead of a bucks party, it's a birthday or retirement party for one of Lara's old professors, with all Lara's archaeology professor rivals in attendance (people who never considered her a real archaeologist or academic, and think she's no better than a treasure hunter and adrenaline junky), that would certainly be a big step for her. These were people she was desperate to be accepted by (the same as the high society aristocrats at the Charity), and now she's willingly flaunting herself to them, no longer recognising that this is not the sort of attention she should be aspiring to. It's just an idea, anyway.

[Guest Edyrn]

 

I understand the idea better, and it would surely be very interesting as a development.

I'll stop bothering you and let you write the rest,  impatiently   

[CrossroadsMk2]

Hi Edyrn, you're never a bother. Questions and suggestions is what the forum is for, and I'm always happy to hear different ideas and perspectives.

[Guest LHunt]

Hey CrossroadsMk2,

Maybe Sam can get more creative with the help of Mary and Sybil….passing it off as Lara’s fan ideas for more extreme sex acts from Lara, and reminds her it’s all good porn acting. Mary and Sybil can pretend she’s being pimped out to the local horse owners...including her own horse Sarah gave her. Use the barn setting where charity women (faces blurred) use those horse cocks on Lara to stretch her holes open. Have real horses gathered around implying Lara has fucked them all....proof being her gaping huge holes. Kana and Nia jack off the horses and paints Lara’s body with their huge loads.

As far as using her old professors, as degrading as it would be to her...I’d think they wouldn’t last long and would need help in some way using Lara. Maybe Sarah could set it up in one of the archaeology buildings where they grade Lara during her live performance(s).

Lead the Way Sir!

 

 

[CrossroadsMk2]

Hi LHunt, sorry but no plans for any animal stuff in the story. I do have some plans for her friends and Mary's involvement in particular, but the escalation now is more the setting rather than the sex acts themselves (aside from bestiality, Lara's done pretty much everything at this point anyway). The plan is to make Lara's activities more public by encouraging her attention seeking and exhibitionist traits. She started doing stuff in private, which progressed to performing in front of the camera. The next escalation will be live sex shows - the gloryhole scene in the current chapter is the start of that. She's technically doing it in private, but all the fans (the ones not taking part)outside are watching it on smartphones via Livestream and will pose for photos with her after, so it's sort of straddling the line.

[CrossroadsMk2]

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well. The next chapter is about 90%. Without giving away any of the leadup, this chapter will end with the sensory deprivation helmet being removed at the end of a playroom session to reveal that it was really Sam all along. I'm just mulling over whether Sarah should be present for the big reveal. As always, I'll post here once it's finished.

[Guest Edyrn]

Hello, glad to know that the next chapter is coming soon.

For the question you are asking yourself, I would say that Sarah is at Sam's side. This seems logical since Lara knows that Sarah is the one who built the game room, and that she forced her to go.

 The only real question is rather to know the extent of the revelation, Lara fantasized about Sam's voice in the headset, but if I understood correctly she does not know that Sam was already witness to her African gangbang, nor even yet aware of who or what is taking advantage of her in the game room.

At least that's the idea I have.

Good luck for the end of the chapter.

[CrossroadsMk2]

Hi Edyrn, yes Lara thinks that Sam is unaware that that Sam knows about her playroom antics, or her African gangbang. The chapter is going to end on the cliffhanger reveal and then deal with the fallout next chapter.

 

I was thinking of having Sarah leave the playroom prior to the reveal, simply as more mind-fuckery for Lara. If Sarah's there, Lara will think that Sam's being manipulated, or that Sam sold her out. It gives Lara a mental out. But if it's just Sam, Lara won't be able to scapegoat Sarah. She'll also feel constrained about what she can say, with Sarah present.  If it's only Sam, Lara can have a private conversation and try to explain away her actions, but just come away doubting herself even more.  I see that conversation happening at the start of the next chapter, going something like this:

Lara - It's not what it looks like.

Sam - Looks to me like you've been enjoying yourself.

Lara - Tries to blame her behaviour on Sarah.

Sam - I've watched you from the beginning. Don't try to pretend you're not loving this. (Sam knows about African gangbang)

Lara - Finally comes clean about slave contract. Tries to blame Sarah again, for taking advantage of her money problems.

Sam - (knows there were millions of dollars from game sales even before she started Onlyfans, and thinks Lara's full of shit) Lie to yourself if you want, but not to me. You signed that contract because you wanted to. Because you've always secretly wanted to explore your sexualty, but we're too afraid. So you needed someone to "force you" to give yourself permission.

Lara comes away wondering if Sam is right, since Sam is her best friend and knows her best.

 

[Guest Edyrn]

I understand the meaning of the conversation you describe, but it sounds like a confrontation, right?

You have been explaining for several chapters that Lara's vision of her relationship with Sarah has evolved, Lara seems to have almost forgotten all the cruel and humiliating situations she made her go through in the first 15 chapters.

Why would Lara immediately try to blame Sarah?   Since Sam now watches her do this kind of thing every day, and Lara still doesn't really know what's going on in the game room.

The discussion between Lara and Sam could be rather empathetic, Sam explaining everything she has witnessed since chapter 10 (documentary), and the "positive" developments in Lara's life, and why not cross-reference Sam's arguments with the shrink's ideas on sexual addiction at the end of the documentary?

Would the contrast between Lara's now mechanical obedience and her friend's gentleness be all the more troubling for her?       this cold shower of reality for Lara, it wouldn't affect her trust in Sam or Sarah, and would make her question herself just as much?

[CrossroadsMk2]

Hi Edyrn, I'd forgotten about that conversation with the psychiatrist. Adding reference to it would be awesome for gas lighting purposes - it would make Lara question her memories and make her doubt her judgement further. She didn't remember talking to her psychiatrist about having a sex addiction, but look how she was acting. And why would he lie about that? Gold.

In terms of the conversation, it's just a summary and I'm probably not conveying the tone right. It's not so much a confrontation as a forced confession - Lara trying to make excuses to avoid accountability and having those excuses shot down one after another by Sam. The conversation is designed to gaslight Lara into believing she's in denial and everything that's happened to her is by choice.

I could see an advantage to having Sarah there. Once Lara is questioning her memories over the sexual addiction psychiatrist sessions, Sarah could drop the bombshell that the contract was Lara's idea. That she had always felt guilty about about not supporting Sarah and abandoning their relationship at boarding school all those years ago and wanted to atone.  It'll be a great mind fuck.

[Guest Edyrn]

Pleasure to help

for your last idea, I have a question, not about the chapter itself, but more for the end of the story. 

  Changing Lara's perception is good for the story, but doesn't convincing her that everything is her doing make her self-revelation at the end of the story complicated?

[CrossroadsMk2]

The ending is a little up in the air, depending on how events pan out with Lara. Elements that will be in it:

- Lara back to Tomb Raiding but now unknowingly working for Trinity. Alistair and Zip back, but working for Sarah, directing what artefacts Lara goes after, and when she retrieves them, they are sold or loaned to museums that Sarah owns.

- Lara continuing her Onlyfans career.

- Lara engaged to Sarah.

I still think a final self revelation for Lara will still work. It can be the final mindfuck where Lara, in a moment of clarity, recognises the whore that she's become and what people really think of her, but by then it's too late and she has a full breakdown. With the last vestiges of her old life and personality destroyed, Lara embraces her fate.  But if it doesn't fit the story, I won't include it.
