Ring Slave Seven: Becoming HUMAN
Patsy sat on the restaurant across the table with Karen who had become her best friend. Although Karen was bisexual, they had never considered anything more than friendship. Patsy always enjoyed her time away from home with Karen. Although Patsy loved her ring slaves, she enjoyed her time with a human friend.
Karen asked, “Have you ever seen the television show HUMANS?”
She replied, “I've seen it a couple of times—It's fun.”
The friend blushed and said, “I have a confession to make—I know it's silly, but I'd love to be one of those synthetic humans.”
Patsy laughed and then she realized her friend was serious. The conversation drifted to other topics, the fantasy momentarily forgotten.
For the next week, Patsy couldn't get her mind off Karen's fantasy. She wasn't sure why, but for some reason it intrigued her. Patsy had become obsessed with her ring slaves and the thought of something new pulled at her strongly. Patsy called her friend and asked, “I've been thinking about something—wanna come over and talk?”
Karen replied, “Sure, I'll be right over.”
Karen knew all about her friend's ring slaves so Patsy never hesitated to invite her over—only this time the conversation was going to be different.
Ten minutes later, Karen was walking through the door. Patsy poured two glasses of wine and they went to sit in their usual spot on the screen-porch. Patsy said as she sipped the wine, “You were telling me about your fantasy the other day.”
Karen blushed and said, “I know it's silly, but yeah I think about it a lot.”
Patsy said, “I watched the entire first season the other night and all I could think about was you.” She paused and asked, “Which one do you see yourself as?”
Karen replied, “Miska, because I look a little like her, all except for the blonde hair. I thought of dying my brown hair blonde to see if I looked more like her.”
“Would you like to live your fantasy?” Patsy asked.
“I would want that more than anything,” the friend replied.
Patsy said, “I love having you as my friend, but I want to see you happy.”
Karen's eyes widened with shock and anticipation, and asked, “You can do this?”
“I'm sure it would require some acting on your part, but I can make a lot of the transformations happen,” Patsy replied.
“When do we start?” Karen asked.
The friend smiled and replied, “Right now. I anticipated your answer and they are expecting us at Club Ring.”
Karen looked at her friend in wide-eyed shock and asked, “A ring? I wasn't expecting that.”
Patsy smiled to ease her friend's worry and replied, “The ring insures you don't change your mind later. It also gives me legal ownership of you. Otherwise, it would be illegal for me to enslave you in any fashion.”
Karen stood and said, “I understand completely, let's go to the club.”
An hour later Karen was removed from the trunk of the car back at home. A car pulled in behind them. Patsy said, “That is Doctor Chang and he will do all the procedures. By the time he is through you will require a charging station just like the synthetics.”
Karen wanted to ask about details, but was too excited about what lay ahead, Her fantasy was about to come true. The next thing the woman knew, she was laying on a portable operating table and sound asleep.
When Karen awakened, Patsy was standing over her. She said, “Welcome back, Kar... I mean, Miska.” Patsy lifted a patch of artificial skin and exposed a large round plug. She said, “This is your charging port. Each night or at any down time you go to your charging closet and plug in. This port will give you all the nutrition and water you need. It will also remove all bodily waste. You won't ever have to eat or use the toilet again.”
The thought thrilled Karen even though she would miss eating and drinking wine with her friend. She said, “Wow, you really did it.” She thought of who she had become and said robotically, “Thank... you.. I... appreciate... your actions.”
Patsy smiled and said, “You're very welcome Miska. Now let's get you ready. I forgot to mention the suit you will be wearing. It's a grayish-blue unitard made from smart fibers. Through the use of a computer that was also installed in your abdomen, it will control the suit. Whenever I give the command it can freeze all or any part of your body. When you plug into your charging station it will make your body immobile so that you won't collapse. You will always stand in the charging station, even while asleep. That also won't be under your control. An implant was put in the back of your head. The suit will connect it to your computer. As soon as you plug in, you will go to sleep. A timer will awaken you after a certain period. During the day it will awaken you every hour and if you don't unplug, it shuts you down for another hour. At night it shuts you down for eight hours and then additional hours can be added if you don't disconnect.”
Karen was stunned by the technology, but she was excited. She wanted to touch herself, but knew a synthetic would never do such a thing. Patsy helped her friend from the table and into her unitard. She then helped her to the charging closet and said just before plugging her in, “You''ll stay here for the next week until you're healed and then you can began your new life.”
Karen was about to say something when she suddenly fell asleep. For the next week she would sleep all night and in the day she would awaken for two minutes every hour and then put back to sleep. Her world came to consist of those two minutes every hour. In those short periods the woman thought about the things that had been done to her. She wondered if she had made a horrible mistake. Reality is often a lot different than fantasy. Patsy had known this and that was why she had insisted on the ring. The ring insured she could never change her mind.
A week later, Karen awakened as Patsy pulled out the plug and said, “Time for my robot to do some work. I want you to take Sassy out for a walk in the back yard.”
Karen stepped out of the closet and realized something was different. When she walked it was stiffly just like the synthetics on the show. She realized it was the unitard—it somehow limited her movements. Since it came up over her neck it also stiffened neck movements. Niska robotically said, “Come... Sassy... time... for... a … walk.”
The puppy girl looked at the woman strangely, but did as she was told. Niska leaned over robotically and attached the leash. The next two hours she walked around the backyard with Sassy leading the way.
As time went on Niska became use to her new life. She missed eating and also found that if she was out of the charging closet all day, her bladder would become painfully filled. She had forgotten how much pleasure was attached to food. She often found herself dreaming about food. Niska even found thinking of food made her sexually arroused.
Because Patsy had so many slaves there was little for the robot to do around the house. A lot of her time was spent tending to Sassy and locked rigidly standing in the kitchen watching Mandy and Patti go about their daily tasks.
One day Patsy said, “Niska, I want you to go get groceries.” The robot wasn't sure about this, but she knew she had no choice. Patsy put a skirt on the robot to hide the ring and sent her on her way.
It was the first time she had driven as a robot and found it a little difficult because her neck didn't turn as far as it did for humans. She arrived at the store and walked in. People stared as she walked robotically though the store collecting the items required by her owner. As she was leaving the store, a little boy asked, “Why do you walk so funny?”
Without thinking, Miska replied, “I'm... a... robot.”
The little boys shouted, “Wow, for real?”
Miska didn't reply. The boy must have told everyone of his friends and family because the next time Miska went to the store she had children and adults following her around as she shopped. The adults had guessed she was a transformed ring slave.
Patsy's phone began to ring off the hook as people found out she was Miska's owner. Most were girls wanting to become a robot, and a few were owners who wanted their ring slave transformed.
What had become a favor for a friend turned into a huge business. Within a year she had a warehouse full of ring slave robots that she sold through a website. Miska began spending most of her time at the warehouse cleaning and shipping out orders.
When an order came in she would select a robot, put it in a shipping crate, and nail it closed. She then attached the shipping label. Once the shipping company took the crate, she would go back to her charging station until the next order. Life was no longer about if Niska was happy, it was just about doing her duties.
The end.
