Tries to remove the hood another way

Alyssa fought at the edges of the mask and tried to pull it off of her face.

"Um Ma'am, removing a restraint without the proper keys is against the rules," the keybearer informed her.

Alyssa stopped. She didn't want to break the rules within a couple of hours of arriving here. So she stopped trying to **** the mask off and turned to where she concluded the keybearer to be. She pointed to the mask.

"You want me to remove that?" The keybearer asked.

Alyssa nodded.

"Well since you marked a gag as your favoured item, that may be tricky. I can only remove the hood if you are wearing another piece of bondage that cannot be removed by a keybearer."

Alyssa opened her arms to indicate 'such as?'

"Something that has a timed lock. Or a permanent item. Or a lock belonging to a higher authority than a keybearer. I'm sure you'll find one somewhere."

Alyssa sighed. This was not going to be easy. But she got to work trying to find any of the listed items. She figured a timed lock would be easiest. But as to how she was going to get that while blind and gagged was another problem.

=================================

Alyssa stumbled around the pool area until she found her way back into the reception. From there she found the desk and slammed her hands on the desk.

"How can I help you madam?" The clerk asked. It was still the same one who had greeted her on arrival.

Alyssa began to verbally reply, but then realised she couldn't speak. She mimed pen and paper instead.

"One moment madam."

Alyssa did have to admit that the clerk was very polite and professional, despite the absurdist nature of his workplace.

Alyssa felt a pen being shoved into her hands, and then felt paper under the other. She began writing.

'where would I find a timed restraint?'

The clerk looked over to read the shaky handwriting that had run in a curve around the paper.

"A timed restraint. That is no problem madam. I can get a porter to escort you to the nearest one."

Alyssa put her hands together and silently thanked the clerk for his hospitality. A moment later, she felt strong arms leading her off through the resort
