Chapter 18: Recruiting Maddie, Part 5

The next morning, Jen’s alarm clock woke her up, and she got ready for breakfast, including putting a new crop top and pair of shorts on, before trudging to Maddie’s room. The two had stayed up talking for a while the previous night, and as a result, neither had gotten as much sleep as they would have liked. When Jen reached her best friend’s room, she knocked on the door, eyes still half-closed. Maddie opened the door, and Jen caught a glimpse of her tired face before the two made eye contact. The pure excitement of seeing each other again, even when they were both tired, perked both best friends up. Within a few seconds, energy seemed to have been created between them, and their moods brightened in moments. The two immediately began chatting, and they walked to the dining room in high spirits. Upon their arrival, they saw Diana, who, despite getting more sleep than either Jen or Maddie, had considerably less energy than them. The meal seemed to fix Diana’s tiredness, and then the three headed to the tickle dungeon cell to begin the day’s tickle fights.

The tickle fights remained a primary focus for the trip back to the Tickle Cartel. Given their intimate knowledge of each other’s tickle spots and weaknesses, every tickle fight between Maddie and Jen was fierce, but fair. Maddie’s superior tickling skills were balanced out by her inability to stand too much bellybutton tickling, leading to a near even split in victories between the two. In addition, given that their overall skills were so close, both competitors had to work extremely hard in their attempts to win, leading to guaranteed exhaustion for the two tickle fighters. Since they both got worn out from the tickle fights, Jen and Maddie did not torment each other during the punishment period, instead opting for a lighter touch with harsh tickles thrown in off and on. Jen typically spent most of the time tickling the slightly less sensitive circle around Maddie’s navel with her nails, keeping her best friend laughing a decent amount, and only went in the tickle button for one- to two-minute periods. In return, Maddie made Jen laugh hysterically when she was in charge, but only used Q-tips to tickle torment her best friend for similarly short periods.

Diana, however, did not have the luxury of receiving easy punishments. Neither Jen nor Maddie were sure why she was so determined to torment them, given what she received afterwards. They had their theories: Queen Mistress Heather had commanded Diana to be harsh, it was an attempt to bring out the sadistic side of each best friend, Diana just had that general personality when she was the tickler, or some other random reason made the servant act like that. Whatever the reason was, she had punished Jen with Q-tips on the trip to North Carolina, and she used the punishment period after her sole victory over Maddie to dole out a similar torment to the new tickle fighter’s navel. Maddie, who just loved tickle torturing Diana for tickle torture’s sake, used the results of her single loss as an excuse to increase her torment of Diana’s ticklish toes during the punishments. After every lost tickle fight, the servant was screaming in the stocks as her terribly ticklish toes were tormented by various tickle tools. And she lost a lot. Maddie’s single tickle spot could be easily protected, and Jen could endure a lot of tummy tickling before giving in, and that was before Diana’s penchant for torturous punishments came into consideration. With all these factors combined, there was plenty of motivation and opportunity for both Jen and Maddie to dominate in their tickle fights, and they took it. Diana’s only win against Maddie came when she barely managed to get to the stronger tickler’s bellybutton before the servant’s soles were in Maddie’s hands. Other than that abnormality, Maddie did not laugh during a tickle fight with Diana, and Jen used her superior endurance to get close to Diana and turn the tables on her, resulting in the servant nearly constantly being in hysterics after tickle fights.

Outside the tickle fights, the addition of Maddie to the crew also brought a certain level of mischievousness to the ship. Playful pokes were common between Jen and Maddie especially, as both would tickle each other without prompting, and they frequently involved Diana in their impish actions. As Maddie and Jen were both primarily ticklish there, the upper body was the common target of these tickle pokes, no matter who was being tickled. Despite this, Diana would usually be doubled over laughing and unable to defend herself effectively when attacked by either of the best friends.

Although most of the playful tickling occurred between the three tickle fighters, no one was truly safe. The cook had a penchant for sunbathing on the upper deck, and one time, Jen and Maddie went up to join her. Before they reached their destination, they could hear laughter, and, with a look at each other, they hurried up. The Shipper who was not currently navigating the ship had the cook tied up beside her tickle slave, with both the ticklees restrained to reclining beach chairs. Upon seeing Jen and Maddie, she invited them to join, and they eagerly accepted. They tickled the tickle slave’s feet and the cook’s armpits for several minutes before turning on the Shipper and tying her beside the two other ticklees. While Maddie explored the Shipper’s bikini-clad body for weaknesses, Jen headed below deck and brought Diana back up. The three tickle fighters traded off the cook’s armpits, the tickle slave’s soles, and the Shipper’s hips for half an hour before releasing all three. To keep the Shipper and cook on their good side, after dinner, Jen, Maddie, and Diana changed into bikinis and allowed the two Tickle Cartel employees to subject them to a similar treatment in the tickle dungeon cell.

Outside of tickle fights and tickling other members of the crew, Jen and Maddie spent most of their free time chatting with each other and enjoying life. Jen told Maddie a little about what the Tickle Cartel was like, but she reminded her best friend that she really had not been there long enough to conclude that the Tickle Cartel experience would be the same when they began working there. Meanwhile, Maddie told Jen about everything that had happened back at home after the latter was taken by the Tickle Cartel. The two also talked about what they thought would happen once they reached their new home, focusing on their life after they would inevitably become Dungeon Ticklers, since they were convinced that Maddie would easily pass the Queen Mistress’ tests.

After another long three days of sailing, the intercom came on during a tickle fight between Jen and Maddie, “Everyone, we are about an hour away from the Tickle Cartel. Please prepare for our arrival.” The two tickle fighters immediately ended the tickle fight in a draw, and all three passengers headed to their respective rooms to pack up. Since it was about lunchtime when the two best friends met up again, they got a quick snack and then eagerly anticipated arriving at their new home. They chatted for the remainder of the time, both occasionally looking up to the intercom as if that would make them arrive faster. “Okay, we’re in port, and you are free to head off the ship. Thank you for being wonderful passengers, and I hope you all enjoyed the trip.” The announcement finally came after what felt like forever, and Jen and Maddie jumped up, smiling widely at each other.

“Maddie, let’s head out with these suitcases, and then we can meet whoever came to welcome us,” Jen suggested, referring to the bags that they had with them in the dining room. They followed a still weary Diana off the ship, and when they were back on solid ground, all three passengers were approached by the welcoming committee.

[InterrogationAI]

I personally agreed with your decision to summarize the trip back, mostly because I thought there would have been a lot of repetition due to the confined nature and small number of people. In the cartel dungeons there are lots of people tickling and to be tickled to make lots of unique interactions and different tickle scenarios, beyond that there is the whole of tickle island to explore.

As for the meeting when they arrive I doubt it will include the queen mistress as I would imagine she would have them come to her. When the do I imagine the mater of her conduct will be brought up and if she was acting at the queen’s orders everything is fine, if not she might find herself sentenced to a stint in the royal dungeon where she will fall under Jens fingers. As for assignments while I believe that both Jen and Maddie will be ticklers in the royal tickle dungeon Maddie may be temporarily assigned elsewhere such as the heavy tickle dungeon where they tickle offenders who have been sentenced to over a year of harsh tickling both as it would be a good fit and it would acclimate her to harsh tickling of unwilling victims after her admittedly quick transition, we may even see queen mistress Heather test them by sentencing them each to a quick stay in the royal dungeon in-turn each under the others care to show that would be willing to subject anyone before them to merciless tickling. Given what we have seen of the queen mistresses temperament I doubt that such a test would be made mandatory but I could definitely see her encouraging it strongly, perhaps in exchange for higher initial pay, a nicely furnished apartment to start off with, and/or the gift of personal tickle slaves all their own to serve them both as servants and playthings.

Great work and I can’t wait to see how Jen and Maddie settle into their rolls, thanks as always.

The Queen Mistress will certainly have seen what Diana did with searching Maddie and with tickle fighting Jen and Maddie, and any punishment will be levied when Jen and Maddie see the Queen Mistress.

The Queen Mistress will also have seen what Jen and Maddie are capable of and willing to do to each other with regards to tickle torture. Because of this, while it would certainly be entertaining to watch them tickle torture each other, the result would not necessarily be new to Queen Mistress Heather. As a side note, if either Jen or Maddie were put in the Royal Tickle Dungeon, Dungeon Mistress Yvette would take the first opportunity to relocate the tickler and take over the tickle torture. She has been eager to get her hands back on Jen since they first met, and she would be just as eager to tickle torture Maddie once she finds out about Maddie’s ticklishness. This would be an impediment to testing them by having them tickle torture each other in the Royal Tickle Dungeon.

As far as the actual testing goes, Jen has already completed her testing; she will be a Dungeon Tickler, barring any unforeseen complications. The Queen Mistress still wants to see how effective Maddie is in person before she decides whether Maddie will be a Dungeon Tickler or a tickle slave. In addition, the basic testing will also give Queen Mistress Heather a good idea of what tickle dungeon she wants to assign Jen and (possibly) Maddie to work in.

After this, additional testing can be done, but it would likely not affect whether either of them get a job unless something goes really wrong. That said, doing very well on additional testing could afford Jen and possibly Maddie (should she pass the basic testing) with extra perks, such as what you suggested.

Whether just Jen becomes a Dungeon Tickler or Maddie joins her, there will be at least a small transition for both of them in the form of Dungeon Tickler Training. This training is to familiarize Dungeon Ticklers with the tools of the trade, as well as to weed out anyone who is not capable of doing the job correctly. Regardless of who approved or recommended them, all Dungeon Ticklers must pass Dungeon Tickler Training before starting a job in a tickle dungeon.
