Positions

This is a list of the various positions and stances required of me by Master Kyle, with a description and purpose for each.

• One - This is the same as the military position of attention. That is, standing, feet at a 45 degree angle, hands at my side, in a fist, my thumbs even with the seam of my pants, head up, eyes straight forward, no expression.

As the description states, this position is the first that Master Kyle will place me in, and is primarily to get my attention and prepare me for what is to come. I am to go to this position from Four in order to answer direct questions only.

• Two - This is my most common position. I am to kneel, sitting back on my feet, hands on my lap, with my head up, to look at my Master.

This is a comfortable position. I am allowed to go to this position at any time. I am allowed to speak in this position unless directed otherwise. I may recover from this position whenever I like, unless otherwise instructed. This position is my safe place.

• Three - This position is very similar to Two. Instead of placing my hands on my knees, they are to be clasped behind my back. I am to lean forward, keeping my head down.

This position is a learning position. From this position I may go to position Two at any time unless being instructed by my Master. In this position I am to remain silent unless I have a question, or am asked a direct question.

• Four - This is the military position of parade rest. Feet shoulder width apart, hands folded behind my back with thumbs interlacing, also lifted above the small of my back. Eyes forward and unmoving, no smile. No movement.

This is my first punishment position. In this position I am not allowed to speak, only listen. If asked a direct question, I am to shift to One in a single fluid movement (No hopping), answer the question, and move back into Four. I am not allowed to move from this position until given permission to do so. This is my most common punishment position, and it is common to be left in this position for 10+ minutes, depending on what I've done.

• Five - In this position, I am to go to my hands and knees and kneel until my nose is an inch from the floor. I then remove hands from floor and place them behind my back. If the chest is supported by the legs or knees, then I am not leaning far enough forward.

This position means I've seriously fucked up somehow. It is my hardest punishment position, and very difficult to maintain for longer than 5 minutes. I am not allowed to speak or move from this position at all until released from it.

• Submit - I am to find a surface of reasonable height, kneel in front of it, bend over this surface and lie face down in this position until released. It can be used as a punishment position, but is also a comfortable and enjoyable one.

• Recover - This is the command to release me from the position I am in, and a command to stand up if I'm in a position I don't wish to leave.
