I started by asking them about how they came to Austin Island. Sage replied by telling me she had learned about Austin at a submissive support group. "I had never heard of Austin before, so I did a search of it and was curious about the description. I decided one day to go to the sim. I really loved the sim and the people at Austin and have been here ever since." she continued. Dakota described how she had come to Austin by chance after noticing a Story of O sim is someone else's profile. "I noticed the training component to it and it sort of clicked. I had had someone recommend that I explore training before, you see...so the stars aligned."

Next I asked a little about the training and whether it proved to be what they expected and hoped for. Dakota promptly responded "The training offered so much more than I could have hoped for. I honestly didn't know what to expect. I just knew what I had tried on my own hadn't worked. I can't recommend it enough.." Sage looked thoughtful for a moment and the gave her reply "Austin's training was far tougher than I had imagined it would be.

However I was very grateful that it was. It helped me really do a lot of self improvement as well as deepen my submission. My path to Ogirl was very rocky indeed but I feel that if it had not been I would not have made such great strides and be the person and the submissive I am today. With the help of the Masters of Austin and my amazing mentors, Ivy and Mari, I was able to complete my training and today help other girls on their path to becoming Ogirls."

Probing a little further I asked how their connection to the community grew and changed during the training. Dakota smiled "I feel that my connection grew organically. When I started, I was shy and anxious. But after a very wise Master advised me to chill out and be myself, I relaxed and began to give more of myself bit by bit. And the more you give, the more you get in return. From the community but also, from yourself." Sage added "I feel my connection with Austin, the Masters and my sisters deepened as I went through my training. I had to learn to trust them so much more.
