Part II: The Scene
A scene, you may remember, is a setting for a role-play
between two characters. Right now I'm using it to
describe the general setting of the entire yiff, but when two
furs speak of a "scene" with one another they mean something
different. The first and most obvious part of the scene is the
setting. Where is this yiff going to happen? Will it be in the
privacy of your own home, or in the stall of a public bathroom,
or even on a park bench?
The setting is important for two reasons. The first is that
you will probably implement (if you learn anything from this
guide) part of it into the TS
itself, so it is very useful to
understand what your surroundings are. This is only secondary
in importance, however, to the publicity of the setting. If
there are other furs in the area, it is vital for you and your
partner to understand their feelings on public displays
of... well, sex. You and your partner might both be into
having it out in the open, but always check for signs and
warnings about the area being restricted or what types of play
are acceptable. At its worst, a mistake in setting could get
your character/site banned from the MU* you were playing on.
More often, it will simply win the resentment of the other furs
present and probably a good number of flames coming your
way.
The other important section of the scene is the
relationship between the characters. Why are they together?
What do they think of each other? It is here that you must
think ahead to what could happen during the
TS. Will this be a
romantic, slow, and intimate play, or a non-consensual, angry,
and heat-filled exchange? Take some time to get into your
character's role and understand it before you begin
typing. Try and do what he or she would do in the situation.
Also consider the other player when doing so - could you
think of a reaction to what you are doing? Or is it so obscure
that if you were the other person you would have no idea what
to do? Always have in mind a direction that you want to drive
the yiff in, and if you begin to stray off that path, re-adjust
your goal. If it starts to get uncomfortable for you, make sure
you tell the other player instead of trying to keep going,
otherwise your lack of interest will only make it boring for
both of you.
A "scene," really, is more like a play. When two character
speak about a scene that they did the night before, they are
talking about when both characters assumed roles other than
what they are normally used to and pretended the setting was
different from what it was. Sceneing is an important way for
furs to have fun without having to worry about social
repercussions for their actions. Everything they do, even to
their characters, is just a game. Safewords still apply when
sceneing, but actions taken by characters should not be held
against them after the scene. By initiating one, you and the
other characters in the scene agree to hold no grudges
afterwards.
Now, after saying that, I have to catch myself. Before
initiating a "scene," characters discuss the do's and
don'ts of that particular scene. When you're with
someone you trust, generally there is an assumed "don't
do any permanent physical damage to me" rule. Otherwise, its
better to state exactly what you do not want to see happen
during the scene to the other fur (especially if you're
with someone that has blood, vorarephile, or any of the more
extreme tags on his or her wixxx). Having to call a safeword is
still an extreme action, and if its because a character did
something that he or she knew you were against or didn't
want to have happen - or betrayed your trust during the
scene - then go right ahead and hold a grudge.
