Lifecycle of a Session¶
A MISTRIX session moves through a fixed set of states. Knowing the states helps when something doesn't behave the way you expect.
Before your first session¶
The first time you confirm a session, a one-time notice appears: Before we begin. It says that every directive, image and reply is written by an AI as you go, that the AI cannot see you and knows nothing about your health, that you should read every directive before you act on it and never follow one that restricts breathing or cuts off circulation, that adapting or skipping a directive is always allowed, and that you stop and use your safe word on pain, numbness or dizziness.
You accept it once for your account, not once per device. Cancelling backs you out of the session.
States¶
| State | What is happening |
|---|---|
| Proposed | The Domina sent a session-proposal sheet. You have not confirmed yet. |
| Active | You confirmed. The conversation carries on with a Session Started marker above it, the safe word in the chat header, and an End session button beside it. |
| Completed | You or she closed it and you confirmed the end. She passes her verdict, XP is awarded, the summary is stored. |
| Safeworded | You used the safe word. The session ends immediately. No XP, no verdict, no summary. Her mood resets to neutral. |
| Closed for inactivity | You left the session sitting for more than about two hours. It is closed for you, and the next time you open the chat a Session closed notice tells you how long it had been idle. No XP and no summary. |

Declined
A session can only be in one state at a time. There are no half-states.
A scene cannot be paused for hours and picked up mid-beat, which is why a cold session is closed rather than resumed. Start a fresh one whenever you are ready.
If you decline a proposal¶
Declining costs you nothing, but she does take the no seriously. She stops offering sessions in that conversation for about two hours and will not keep circling back to the idea. The one exception is a scene you are visibly escalating yourself, where she may offer once more.
After a decline, the next session starts because you ask for it. Saying what you want in the same breath is enough:
- "Start a session, but keep it short, around 15 minutes."
- "Let's do a session focused on chastity, skip impact."
- "I want a session, something stricter this evening."
She drafts a fresh proposal sheet. Confirm or decline again.
A "no" to your own Domina does not quiet a preset Domina, or the other way round. Each conversation keeps its own count.
Mid-session adjustments¶
Inside an Active session you can:
- Send a message at any time. She reads it and the next directive reflects it.
- Send a photo (see Photo Uploads).
- Ask her to hold, or simply tell her you are done. "Goodnight" or "we're done for today" are read as a request to close, not ignored.
- End it yourself. A gold stop button sits next to the safe word in the chat header. It opens the same End session page she would have opened, and it does not need her agreement. Use it when the scene is finished. The safe word beside it stays for when something is wrong.
Two things to know:
- Your interests, hard limits and inventory are read fresh on every turn, so a change you make mid-session reaches her from the next message on. It does not rewrite what she has already said.
- Switching your active Domina mid-session strands the session. The scene belongs to the Domina who opened it, and the new one cannot pick it up. Close the session first.
The session timer¶
When a directive asks you to hold something for more than half a minute, she sets a timer. A chip appears in the top right with a label and a duration.
- It does not start on its own. Tap Tap to start once you are in position.
- A bell rings when it ends and she picks the scene straight back up.
- A single timer runs from 10 seconds to 2 hours. She can chain a sequence of up to six stages, and each stage waits for your tap so you have time to move between positions.
- Counted or repeated tasks get no timer. Those are self-paced, and you report back when you are done.
The chip only exists inside a session.
What is stored¶
After a session ends in any state, the app keeps:
- The title, the difficulty, and the fetishes the session focused on.
- Her written summary, her verdict, and the line she left with it.
- The XP awarded, and your rating if you gave one.
The conversation itself stays in your chat, under your PIN, like the rest of it. Photos you sent and images she made stay in your gallery.
Of that record, the XP, her verdict, and the line she left with it come back on the Session Complete card. Her written summary and your own rating are not shown there. Finished sessions are removed automatically 365 days after they started.
