A new discovery

'Stupid, stupid, stupid, idea,' Mina thought to herself as she struggled against her restraints to no avail. 'Should've at least told her to leave the key somewhere I could reach it, but nooooo!'

Without her hands free she couldn't do the hypnosis, which seemed to require her to clap, and with her mouth gagged she couldn't trigger her roommate either. And worst of all, Abby would wake up in the morning thinking she was a robot dominatrix, and go off doing who-knows-what when her early morning jogging alarm went off. Mina had to find some way out of this, and fast.

She realized she was doomed when she remembered Abby shut the bedroom door behind her. There was no way she could open the door with her limbs bound together. Feeling hopeless, she desperately tried to focus on the weird mental threads that had awakened her power to begin with. She could feel something there, it was like having a word on the tip of your tongue but maddeningly unable to actually speak it. She reached a little harder, frantically pulling at the threads-

In the other room, Abby sat upright. Her eyes remained closed and a soft snore spilled from her lips as her body was tugged upright by some unseen ****. Like a sleepwalker, she glided across the room, arms outstretched as the threads pulled at her mind. To Mina, it felt like mentally reeling in a fishing line. She wasn't exactly sure what she was doing, but she could hear Abby's high heels clicking against the wooden floor as she slowly crossed the room. Fortunately Abby was able to open the door even in her comatose state. She stopped by the edge of the bed, still snoring as she swayed in place.

Mina still had no idea how this worked but she wasn't going to risk breaking the connection now. In her head, she had the mental image of threads wrapping around Abby's body, tugging on her limbs as Mina manipulated her like a marionette. There was another bundle of threads in her mind's eye, a large knot tangled up in Abby's brain. Mina assumed that must be the hypnotic commands she had installed, but her more immediate focus was getting Abby to at least undo the gag.

If 'pulling' Abby into the room had been strenuous, actually manipulating her arms into reaching out and undoing the gag was ****. As the sleeping girl's hands fumbled at the clasp, Mina's head was pounding worse than it had been when she had awoken this morning. The mental energy she was pouring into the task was only matched by her fear of failing now when she was so close-

The gag pulled out of her mouth with a loud pop! and Mina took a deep, gasping breath. "Factory Reset!" she yelled when she had enough air in her lungs to speak and Abigail's eyes flickered behind their lids as the trigger settled across her sleeping mind. A faint smile crossed her lips as the memory of her time with Mina filtered into her dreams, believing them to be a rather fun set of erotic fantasies.

That was the whole sexbot problem solved. And after a bit more mental maneuvering she had Abby drop the handcuff key into her hand and she was free after a few more minutes of fumbling with it and the tiny lock. All that was left now was carefully piloting Abby back to her bed, and then heating up a big ass bowl of ramen before returning to bed herself. Moving Abby around like a puppet had really worked up her appetite.
