Collar(ed)6 #6

I'm very interested by this, and much as I enjoy Julia, I can't wait to see what happens next. See, Evita made it clear that she actually cared about consent and is Trina and Michelle's friend. When she took control of Michelle using this technique, it was because Michelle wanted to be submissive but didn't want to deal with the fallout of it, and she made sure to have explicit consent from Michelle for using the technique. But with Trina, no such considerations existed. Trina has shown no indication of wanting to be a submissive. Even Evita admits she was more dominant than Michelle. If you look at the panels, too, you'll see Evita started utilized her technique already back in Collared6 #5 (Trina's eyes turn blue). And even so, Trina kept resisting until the sigil was actually on her, at which point Evita took control. And it's pretty clear that that's what happened - Trina only said the safeword because Evita was mind-controlling her. Evita does look conflicted about it in the last panel, and she apologizes and claims she was doing it because it's best for everyone, but how was this best for Trina? What's the motivation for doing so? If it was only because she wants to keep Michelle, they could have set other terms for the challenge (for example, Trina not losing her Mistress status and becoming Evita's slave), or even just release Michelle from the mind control for a candid talk with Trina, reassuring her this is what she really wants. I really want to see why Evita is doing this to Trina, and what the consequences of this will be for all of them.

I've got several directions I can take this, most of which involve the interference of other characters. It's just a matter of which combination and which route I want to take. It'll be fun for me either way, and I hope it'll be fun for y'all as well!

This display of her mind-effecting magic over the last whiles is something I was wondering about from the main strip, where it's mostly referenced, and it's good to see its use here- in hindsight, seems like the only proper way to get her to say her safeword. And, I think, perhaps that is why she looks so sad. Moriyama might not have been 100% dominant, but certainly dominant *enough* to be classed as a Domme and not be a slave to another. So...hmm. When it wears off there'll be some rich character interaction there. It also makes me wonder what over mind magic she has, and how many different uses might be employed. I trust you've thought some over it and look forward to you exploring it!

Thanks for the strip, and happy Christmas/New Year!

That expression in the last panel speaks volumes. This is what i wanted but forgot to vote for, mostly because I just wanted Evita to collar Trina, but you also have to consider Michelle's feelings in this version. Evita gets to keep her doll, Michelle gets to stay with her Mistress, everybody happy. Well, except maybe Trina when she finds out, but she will be eventually. Or at least, so I hope.

Wonderfully nice, and so many panels in one single page, so much fantasticness at once :D <3

That's certainly a very interesting expression visible on Evita's face in the last panel! It's not one of triumph and gloating (like how she would have acted in the canon timeline, back when Michael's Black Books were messing with her head) or any sort of pleased reaction at having won this challenge with Trina and claiming her newest prize, but one of resigned acceptance; since it seems to me that she did not want to use her special technique in order to win this challenge (since she might have wanted to either win in a fair fight, due to respecting Trina, or even wanting to avoid having to take this challenge in the first place), but in order to ensure that Michelle would remain her slave (since Michelle actually wants to be a submissive, but Trina didn't realize this fact and would have probably freed her friend after the challenge, along with setting up the paperwork for restoring all of the titles and responsibilities that Michelle had lost when she became Evita's submissive, given that Trina doesn't realize [and still won't until the two actually speak to each other at a later point] that Michelle had actually wanted to escape from all of the many pressures that had been placed on her by becoming Evita's slave), Evita had to stack all of the odds in her favor (thus ensuring a victory), by any means possible, but she knows using this technique might lead to trouble further down the line, if or when Trina finally snaps out of her trance... Now then, where exactly can things go from this point in time, given that Trina's lost to Evita and there might not be anyone else who is either willing and/or able to challenge the outcome of both this challenge and Michelle's reregistration as Evita's submissive (Nora might have something to say about all of this, but does she know what has actually happened yet, or has she been kept busy with a mission of some kind and not heard the news)? I'm not totally sure yet, since there are quite a lot of options to consider here, but I'm curious to find out what you're planning for future events.

I wonder what she'll do with her new freshly broken slaves, and whether or not she'll increase her harem. I am eager to see a comic where the villain wins with no takebacks.

i truly enjoyed your alternate take on your main work,i hope you continue this parallel storyline. Plus i so love the latex and strapon action.

I voted the other direction but am now quite interested in seeing where this goes. The discarded panel looked quite interesting, though I can see where the shift in position would have somewhat broken the flow of the scene. Panels 8 and 9 in particular came out really well, the studded design of Trina's outfit looking really cool.
