The Purloined Letter by Ace, Pizazz

September 15th, 2008 4:30 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Hide something - preferably incriminating - in plain sight.

Pizazz says:

Many months ago a good friend bought me a beautiful work of art - a rainbow-coloured glass dildo. You can see an example here: Phallix Glass (probably NSFW.)

Anyway, so from the moment I first heard about these beautiful glass dildos, my friends and I joked about how you could put them on your mantelpiece because they are works of art, not just sex toys. So when I first saw this task, you can see how I made the connection. I knew exactly what I wanted to do.

I also collaborated with my boyfriend Ace, who recently bought a nice shiny pair of handcuffs!

This task is technically complete, but we will continue to document the process until our housemate or landlady notices!

HANDCUFFS

Handcuff Notes Day 1: Monday 15th September, 9:14pm.
We decided to "hide" the handcuffs hanging decoratively in the window of our lounge room, which looks directly onto our landlady's balcony! She lives in the flat directly adjoining ours, so if she looks out her kitchen window or comes out on to her balcony, she will more than likely see them. I wonder if she will say anything?

Handcuffs Day 2: Tuesday 16th September, 6:58pm.
- Our housemate noticed the handcuffs! At about midday he came to our bedroom door, laughing, and said "I'm sure the landlady will love these!" or something to that effect. Pizazz laughed and said innocently, "Well I thought it'd be rather amusing." He then hung the handcuffs on our light switch and went on his way. Well, we considered hanging them back up on the window, but didn't want to needlessly aggravate him if he happened to be genuinely concerned about the landlady's opinion. So, the handcuffs are out of commission (at least, task-wise, for now). It's a little disappointing that his reaction wasn't more horrified or amusing in some other way, but oh well. He already knew we had handcuffs, anyway. He's never heard of the glass dildo as far as we know, so hopefully his reaction to that will be more enthusiastic!


DILDO

Dildo Day 1: Monday 15th September, 9:14pm.
- The dildo has been placed on the nearest thing we have to a mantelpiece - the piano. You can view photo proof below. Our housemate is currently not home, and he doesn't spend a great deal of time in the lounge room as it is, so it may be a while before he notices. His reaction is bound to be amusing as he is quite the character!

Dildo Day 2: Tuesday 16th September, 6:58pm.
- Whilst our housemate has noticed the handcuffs, he has failed to notice the dildo. I put this down to the fact that he wasn't in the lounge room very much today, and when he was he sat on the couch directly under the window where the cuffs were hanging, but did not go anywhere near the piano. The dildo isn't exactly bright purple or obviously a dildo (from a distance) or anything, so it make take him a while to spot it. If a week goes by without notice he may have to be coerced into a singalong right by the piano... we will continue to update as the adventure continues!!

7:20pm Wait, what's this? I hear my housemate thumping around in the loungeroom. What is he doing? Will he notice the dildo while I am logged in to sf0? Oh, the anticipation!!!

Dildo Day 3: Wednesday 17th September, 11:57am.
-So it turned out last night Starchild (my housemate) was not to notice the dildo. Ah well. HOWEVER, this morning he went to hang his washing outside (the back door is right near the piano) and I heard him stop at one point and say "...Interesting." So he may have noticed it! But he didn't come and say anything to me. He just went back to his room. DAMN IT STARCHILD, WHY MUST YOU BE SO HARD TO WEIRD OUT? A while later, I went into his room and said "So, Starchild, had any revelations or... discoveries today?" But he just talked about other things. Sigh. So he may have noticed it and not said anything to me, or he may not have yet. I will continue to drop hints/ask such questions until he says something! Huzzah!

---------------------------

DILDO FINALE, FEATURING: THE REACTION! Wednesday 17th September, 10:00pm.
- The reaction to this was pretty epic for someone who isn't easily disturbed at all. He pretty much came into our room to say hi, and this was what he said, with a big goofy grin on his face:

"Hey guys. How you doing? Nice, uh, penis sculpture by the way."

I basically pissed myself laughing. He said he had noticed it earlier. I said "I'm so glad you finally said something!" and tried to explain the task, which was amusing because the conversation went like this:

ME: "You see, there's this website -"
STARCHILD: "Oh no, don't show me the website!"

Which led to more of me being unable to speak due to laughter, and interjecting between my hysterics with "No! No, it's not like that!"

Finally I was able to explain SF0 to him, and the fact that I did this as a Task. He was highly amused and we had an amusing discussion about sex toys & handcuffs. I decided to put the dildo back in its box - Starchild protested, saying it is a great sculpture! I do agree, but argued that my mum does visit sometimes. He said "So what?" and he's quite right... but the real issue here is that if it disappeared periodically... Starchild is given a great big flag as to what shenanigans are going on, and I am such a shy one...


So the task was completed, much amusement was had by all, and I shall yet think about leaving the dil- I mean, sculpture- out as a permanent decoration. A photo of Starchild was taken holding the dildo and handcuffs for evidence. (yes, all items were very clean.) Oh, and I convinced Starchild to sign up to SF0, such a good guinea-pig that he was. You can find him under the same name. He's a rockin' dude.

I agree Absurdum, but I think I'm gonna wait for some updates before casting my vote.

For example, my porn lamp is still sitting on a prominent table in the middle of my room, and nobody's noticed it yet, and it's been over a year, but I've had very very few people in my room in that time. So the opportunity for it to be noticed is very low. So once the opportunity for either of these items to be noticed goes up, that's when you'll find my vote. And I'm sure, just given a few more days that'll be the case.

:)

Ah, Lincoln, thankyou! I appreciate your endeavour to truly put effort into thought about what you cast a vote on.

I hope to be able to update soon with hilarious reactions from my housemate! I don't know if the landlady will react to the handcuffs because we hardly ever speak to her even though she lives right next door... I'm not sure what her political/religious standing is though, so if she's wildly conservative she may be offended and request their removal! Which would be interesting, but I don't know if I really want to be viewed negatively by my landlady :P Finding new places to live is a pain in the bum!

I have monitored this praxis so I will know when you update it with the potential hilarity. Even if the update is full of fail, I'd vote for the explanation of how it failed, what your expectations were and how it fell short. Or whatever. Maybe if your landlady gets angry or offended, I would love to hear what excuse you use; "I'm in the Police Academy", "I had some friends over and they must have left those there as a joke", "Some lady sold that to me on the street and said I'd have good dreams if I displayed it like so". But no matter how this ends, I'm sure it'll be interesting if you document it and share it with us.

Hahaha! Thanks Lincoln... those are excellent suggestions for excuses! Unfortunately we didn't have need for such excuses.... see above update... hopefully the dildo noticing will be more amusing!

It is really very beautiful. As is the finale picture. As is the story.
...and is dishwasher safe, mom! mmm, maybe not...

Hahaha!

Thankyou Susy! It may actually be dishwasher safe, I may recall something like that from the website it was purchased from... but maybe not :P Good thing I don't have a dishwasher so I'm not tempted to try!
