Observing the selfbondage

The next round began, and Alyssa and Tegan took their seats nearby. Alyssa was still aware that she was topless, and she was now becoming aware of a quirk of her swimsuit and how it loved to squeak whenever she moved about on her seat. It was giving her more attention.

The viewing area was in a little grassy area which reminded Alyssa of a set off of "Love Island". A wooden gazebo sat over top a patch of fake grass. Fairly lights scattered around the area gave the place a homely vibe.

Two women volunteered for the round. Both blondes, both in shiny string bikinis. One red, one blue. They both wore matching blindfolds. They introduced themselves as twin sisters, Minni and Cinni. The host of the competition, a speedo-clad man named Marc, removed the two girls' blindfolds so that they could see their predicament. Marc explained the rules of the competition, which was that both girls would be given the same restraints and that the first person to dress herself in them. Using outside tools such as string was allowed but a girl could only count as having won if they were not tethered to any of the posts in the arena. Essentially, whatever means that were used to get into the bondage would have to be removed.

Marc drew everyone's attention to a screen above the arena. "And now let's see what predicament these two lovely ladies will be racing to get themselves into tonight!"

The crowd cheered as an image appeared on the screen - A woman fully hogtied with rope. Her feet were connected to her head and her wrists were strung up uselessly in-between. There was a giant ball gag between her teeth and a thick blindfold over her face. The image played a video, where the hogtied woman rocked back and forth onto her breasts and then eventually fell over sideways.

The audience laughed as the video stopped. Marc turned to Minni and Cinni. "Now girls, I hope you are familiar with the humble art of the hogtie, as you must fully hogtie yourselves until your breasts are off the floor. You will be given the same amount of rope each, and it is up to you how you utilize that. Take note, minus your swimsuits, you have to match the image, otherwise you won't win!"

The two twins giggled and looked at each other with a competitive stare.

"Now," Marc continued. "As always, there is an additional difficulty modifier if you would like to go for it.

Minni and Cinni immediately nodded vigorously.

"I thought you two would be keen. Now, to double your prize, you must apply your gag and blindfold before beginning your rope ties."

The two twins chuckled again, undeterred at this.

"Now, if you two are ready, we can begin. Yes? Three....two....one....go! May the best girl win!"

The two twins immediately raced to opposite ends of the arena, where they opened identical containers and started procuring their restraints. Minni decided to lay everything out first, making sure to lay her lengths of rope in ascending order by her feet. Cinni, on the other hand, immediately applied her blindfold and ball gag as soon as she came across them in her box. Alyssa looked at the gag and started to feel jealous.

Regardless of their order, both girls decided to strip off their bikinis once they were blindfolded. They did a little show and dance and tossed the separate parts of their bikinis out into the audience, which brought about a bout of cheering and hollering. Once the twins had stripped themselves bare, they set about on their ropes. Alyssa thought that Minni's strategy of organizing her rope was going to give her a clear advantage, and at first it did seem like that was the case. The toes, ankles, thighs and calves were all intricately and securely tied by the time Cinni had finished her chest harness.

The twins were approaching their bodies from opposite ends. Cinni moved onto the rope around the back of her blindfold, while Minni moved up from her legs. Alyssa was in absolute awe at the speed that the twins were creating their knots and loops.

"These two are professionals," Tegan whispered to Alyssa. "This is child's play for both of them. They both have different strategies too. Cinni knows that she can waste some time up front because her sister struggles in the final few steps, which is where she herself is fastest."

Cinni slipped into all of her leg ties while Minni finished her chest harness and the head loop. Now both girls were somehow, pun intended, tied up. All that remained were the arms and the final hogtie.

Both women got to work on their upper arms. They slotted the loop over their shoulders and squeezed their slender arms into the gaps on the sides. Then they both got on the floor, face down and folded their legs back, where the ankle ropes were tied to the ropes around the back of the blindfold. This succeeeded in the desired shape of the hogtie, as each girl tightened their ropes until their heads were pulled back and their upper bodies pulled off the floor.

The final step was to just apply the ankle cuffs and thread them through the rope that just got tightened. And here it was clear that Tegan's assertion was correct. Cinni seemed much more adept at this tie than her twin. Minni was still faster than the average person, but Cinni moved at an incredible speed. In less than ten seconds her tie was complete, and she was wiggling her hands uselessly as they failed to grab her toes. The crowd erupted into applause.

Minni finished ten seconds later. She grunted and mumbled into her gag, and then fell over onto her side, giving the audience a nice view of her boobs.

"And with that, Cinni over here is our winner. Let's give her another round of applause!"

Alyssa whooped and hollered. It had been a fantastic spectacle to watch. She was envious. She wished she had the skill to tie herself up like that. She didn't even care about the getting out of it later part, how could she care when she would look like those girls down on the stage?

"Now, let's hear from our winner over here. Now, she has won all the lovely ropes and restraints she is now wearing, but we offer all our winners the chance to escape their restraints now if they wish to enjoy their predicament at a later stage. Cinni, would you like us to free you from your bonds?"

With the limited head movement she still had, Cinni shook her head.

"Very well then, let's just put her off the side then so that she can enjoy her prize!" Marc laughed. Two stagehands, tall women who were naked except for full hoods and high-heels, came onto the arena and picked up Cinni, carrying her offstage.

"Now, our loser here is already in the full restraints, so nothing has to be done there, but as per the rules, she must now be subject to tonight's forfeit, which is twenty-four lovely hours in one of the resort's display cases! She will be lowered into the glass case in her bonds before it is filled with a clear resin, which hardens within ten minutes, leaving her suspended in the case, showing off all her assets to all our guests!"

The audience went into hysterics hearing this. Alyssa on the other hand, felt a chill run down her spine. That punishment sounded cruel. It sounded unsafe. And if she was to participate next, it was more than likely that she was going to end up in the same situation.

Alyssa just watched in horror as Minni was picked up from her position on the floor and carried over to a glass tank that had been wheeled into the arena. It had a soft clear liquid on the bottom, which Minni sank slightly into when deposited in. The stagehands retrieved two small hoses and stuck them up Minni's nostrils before attaching them to an air tank outside of the tank. They then retreated, and returned with a bigger hose that was placed in the tank and began to deposit more of the clear liquid into the tank. In what seemed like no time at all, the resin covered Minni completely, who was thrashing about like a thing possessed. As the stagehands packed up the hose and left, the crowd continued to cheer. In what seemed like no time at all, Minni's thrashing become smaller and smaller until she ceased to move. She was well and truly stuck, and the resin had hardened. Her naked, hogtied body lay suspended in what looked like air. As the resin dried, it became completely invisible. It was quite the effect. But not one that Alyssa was sure she wanted to experience herself.

As Minni finished the final stages of hardening, Marc asked for the next two contestants. Still in shock at what she was seeing, Alyssa didn't even notice Tegan volunteer herself and Alyssa.
