It's time to get Emily involved.

Emily has been looking at your phone for a few minutes now while you and Velvet awkwardly standing around your dorm room. You thought that if anyone could help, it would be your mentor, so you dragged Velvet over to your room in hopes that Emily would be there. When you first explained the situation, she didn't want to believe what her friend was up to. "She told me that everyone she was working with volunteered with full knowledge." Emily had defended her friend. You explained how you and Velvet were both tricked into the belts and, by showing Emily the message on Velvet's phone, that Olivia planned to dupe some poor X-Change student.

What followed was an angry phone call between the two, with Emily throwing some choice words into her phone at Olivia, then violently hanging up. Well, as violently as one can hang up on a smartphone. After she calmed down over her friend breakup, you showed her the control app on your phone, hoping that she might find something you missed that would help you.

"This program actually seems pretty mild to me," Emily informs you now that she's finished pouring over the app. "As long as you can go with orgasm you don't really have to do anything but remember to hit the tease button each day."

"But how am I supposed to go without cumming when I'm being edged for an hour a day?" You counter.

Velvet finds this to be a good time to join in too. "What if you skip half of those tease sessions? You'll get the punishments instead but only at level 1."

"No way," Emily responds. "An hour of being shocked on the clit? No thank you."

"Come on, it can't be that bad."

You and Emily both stare at Velvet. "That's literally your most sensitive organ. I'm sorry that you haven't been able to feel it at all but consider how long you could last getting tazed in the dick, then multiply that by about ten." Emily holds no punches in her response.

"S-sorry." She pulls back from the conversation.

"Right then. Lose the shorts and let's see the belt." Emily orders you. "Umm, Lauren you can leave your bra on." You must have gotten caught up in the moment, but you're already naked except for the belt. Velvet shyly looks away and tries not to stare at your chest.

Emily gets up close and inspects your chastity belt, tugging on it and testing the fit. Basically, all the same things you already tried in the bathroom. She seems perplexed by the build quality of it and the lack of keyholes or other weaknesses to exploit. "As I thought. There's no physical way to remove the belt from you. It's locked internally by an electronic control. So the weakness has to be in the software that controls it." Emily holds up your phone for the two of you to see, though you've spent enough time looking over the app already. "This app might look impregnable, but I promise you, every piece of software has a way to exploit it." You start to feel hopeful for your chances here. That is until you hear Emily's next line. "However, penetrating it won't be easy or quick. In fact, I doubt I even have the skills to do it at all. We'll need to make some friends that are good at that sort of stuff."

Your heart sinks now that you realize that you won't be getting out of this blasted chastity belt today. It sinks even further once you remember that you have an hour-long edging session to look forward to today as well.

"What about my belt?" Velvet asks.

"Right, let's take a look at that one as well." Velvet doesn't strip down completely like you, actually, you start putting your clothes back on now too. With most of her belt exposed, Emily leans in and begins fiddling with it as she had done to yours. "Well, the bad news is that this belt looks to use an integrated internal lock with a custom key. That means it can't just be shimmed open or cut off like a padlock could. It seems like high-quality steel too, so I wouldn't count on cutting through it unless you wanted to cut yourself in half too. If Olivia locked it on you, then she must still have the key somewhere. Getting it from her won't be easy, but I don't see any reason for you to play by the rules. ****, trickery, hell, even bribery are all options. I'll leave that to your discretion though. I don't mind helping you get back at her for what she's done, so if you need my help to make a play, just let me know."

Velvet thanks your roommate for the advice and offer for help, but you'll need to come up with a plan first before you can do anything on the Velvet front. As for now, though, you need a break from all this belt talk. Velvet seems the same, as she hugs you and promises to fill you in if she finds out anything. You think you feel the belts clink together when you hug, but it might have been your imagination.

After Velvet leaves, Emily announces that she's going to head out for her evening class a little early to give you some privacy. "Do you mind waiting a second?" You ask her. Intrigued, your roommate turns her head back to see what you have in mind.
