Dreaded Level Twenty

As soon as Katy awoke on Thursday, she grabbed her phone and opened Gem Ladies. She wanted to complete the day’s levels while she still had Descriptoscope, just so she could know what she might be getting into. She cleared levels 18 and 19 quickly, but Level 20 got the better of her, and a list of punishment options showed up on screen.

Katy felt a sudden, sinking sensation. Not only did losing a round not get her any closer to clearing her punishments, she was adding more. What if she just kept losing this level? She could end up with a runaway list of punishments. She needed to proceed carefully.

She took a closer look at the punishment options, noticing there were two additional options:

Extend Salutation Parisienne +15 rounds

Upgrade Salutation Parisienne I => II for 7 rounds

Apparently the certainty of continuing a punishment she was tolerating well was to get five extra rounds over what she would get with a new punishment. But taking the risk of upgrading a punishment to something more difficult would bring the benefit of it lasting fewer rounds.

When she used the Descriptoscope to learn what upgrading to level II would mean, she blanched. It said that instead of kissing friends on the cheek, she would have to French kiss them! Katy felt a weird combination of intense arousal at being compelled to deeply kiss Selina or Dane, while simultaneously seriously revolted by the image of Caleb’s tongue entering her mouth. There was no way!!! She looked at the possibilities for new punishments, finding that they were:

Clothing Restriction: Leggy I
Clothing Restriction: Underwhere? I
Clothing Restriction: Valley of Delight I

Reading the descriptions, Katy learned that Leggy would require her legs to always be bare from mid-thigh to her ankles. That didn’t seem too awful, but she’d feel weird wearing shorts at work. Underwhere was about what she expected. She could wear a bra or panties, but not both. That could be manageable, since she could pick which one based on her outfit. Valley of Delight would require to always be showing some cleavage, defined as her breasts had to be exposed within 2 cm of her areola. That was a lot of cleavage! That level of exposure was definitely the scariest to her, but it also turned her on a bit to think about showing off like that.

There really weren’t any great options, but the timer was ticking down and Katy didn’t want to find out what would happen when it ran out.
