Puts on the armbinder

Alyssa eventually nodded. She was going to have to go out of her comfort zone to fix this problem. Hopefully the lock wouldn't be on for that long.

"Perfect. Let's get you up here on the counter so that I can put it on ya. I love this bit."

Alyssa hesitated, but then hoisted herself up onto the counter, her back facing the attendant. She felt the attendant's arms gently slide beneath her armpits.

"Now now, this'll only take a minute. Nothing to be scared of. Armbinders are fun, trust me. When I get off my shift I always hop into one."

The attendant's voice was calm and soothing, and Alyssa felt a bit more at ease. She didn't even notice the smooth leather slide up her arm until the buckles went round her shoulders. She squirmed.

"Woah, hold still. We're still putting it on. Now just sit back and relax. I'm not going to hurt ya."

Alyssa breathed deeply into her gag and stared into the darkness. Perhaps this wasn't too bad. She would get the armbinder on, go back to the keybearer, and then get the mask off. Then she would be fine.

Alyssa felt her arms being pulled up and tighter as laces were pulled together. Each yank took away more of her freedom but was also...strangely alluring.

Finally she heard a click as the timer was activated.

"Now I just went ahead and set the timer for the lowest amount - eight hours. You can always get it increased later down the line."

Alyssa panicked. Eight hours! What would she do if she couldn't get the mask off? She had to stumble about trapped for eight hours?

"Now, I've put the fee onto your tab there, so you're good to go missy! I must say you look great!"

Alyssa didn't move for a bit, but then slid down onto the ground again. She tested out her new bonds. Her arms were pinned to each other ad stuck behind her back in a leather sleeve. They were basically useless. Meaning she couldn't use the pen and paper trick anymore.

It was then Alyssa realised that the clerk wasn't here to show her back to the pool area. She would have to retrace her steps herself.
