Obey the elf

{if Bondage level = 1}{if Encountered Shinny = false}You follow the elf to a small room where another elf is waiting for you. With his white hair and green eyes, you immediately recognise the new elf as the one who appeared in your bedroom back home!

"Surprised to see me again? I guess I didn't properly introduce myself earlier, Louis. I'm Shinny Upatree, and as you may have figured out, I run Santa's Workshop now. I'm reliably informed that you've been an even more naughty boy since I last saw you. Let's see if we can't find a suitable punishment for you... {else}You follow the elf to a small room where Shinny is waiting for you. "You again," he says. "I'm reliably informed that you've been an even more naughty boy since I last saw you. Let's see if we can't find a suitable punishment for you..." {endif}

You shiver nervously as you look around the room. The walls are painted in red and they're almost completely covered with hooks and hangers, on which hang all manner of items of cruel restraint and punishment in red and green and gold. There are also a few crates in the room which also appear to hold all sorts of bondage equipment. While Shinny picks up something from a crate, his elf assistants grab your arms and hold you steady.{else}As before, you follow the elf to Shinny's red room with his collection of bondage and punishment gear, dreading the punishment he has in store for you. {endif}

{if Bondage level < 2}"This is where we make sure naughty boys like you learn that there's no way out. Only labour, service, and obedience to your true masters." Shinny picks up a whip made of red leather and gives it a swift crack in the air between you, making you flinch. "He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake," Shinny sings in a mocking tone. "Well, that's exactly what we do here with you sorry wretches. I know if you've been bad or good - and you've been very bad lately, haven't you?"

Shinny puts the whip down and picks up a sharp knife. You automatically try to back away, but your arms are being held tightly and there's nowhere to go. The elf reaches down for your red leather shorts. "Keep still, boy - you wouldn't want me to accidentally cut you somewhere important, would you?" You freeze, and he slips the cold blade of the knife between your shorts and your bare skin. He slices cleanly through the shorts and rips them from your body, leaving you fully exposed. "Naughty boys don't deserve to wear clothes here in the Workshop. Now stay out of trouble, or we'll have to... apply more restrictions," Shinny says, casting his eyes over the collection of gear hanging on the walls. {elseif Bondage level = 2}"I guess being kept naked all the time hasn't taught you to stay out of trouble," Shinny says as he approaches you. In his hand he carries a thick gold collar, much like the one you remember Nick wearing when you first arrived at the Workshop. "This ought to keep you in line and remind you of your place here," the elf sneers. He places the collar around your neck and locks it with a heavy padlock. It feels pretty solid and you doubt you'll be getting out of it without the key. {elseif Bondage level = 3}"Back again?" Shinny rummages in a crate, and pulls out a pair of solid gold shackles. "Hold his arms for me." The two assistant elves immediately seize your arms and wrench them behind your back. You feel the cold metal shackle encase your left wrist, then your right. "You'll wear these from now on. When you're on the production line, you'll be wearing these as you are. All other times, the guards will make sure your wrists are locked to the front of your collar. That ought to keep you out of trouble." {elseif Bondage level = 4}"You just don't learn, do you?" Shinny rummages in a crate, and pulls out a new pair of solid gold shackles, a little wider than the ones already locked on your wrists. The two assistant elves **** you to the ground, your bare chest touching the cold floor. Shinny moves behind you and you feel him pick up your left ankle and lock a shackle around it. He does the same with your right ankle, then locks a short length of chain between them. The assistants haul you to your feet and you see that the ankle chain is just long enough for you to take short steps. "You'll wear these from now on. Can't have you trying to run circles around us elves, can we?" {elseif Bondage level = 5}"Back again, Louis?" Shinny steps up to you, holding a single gold padlock. "Guess where this is going?" He steps behind you and pulls your wrists close together behind your back. There's no use struggling as you hear the click of the padlock trapping your shackled wrists behind you. "This should put an end to your attempts to sabotage the production line. And don't think that padlock is ever coming off. You can work at your station using your feet." {elseif Bondage level = 6}"Back again, Louis?" Shinny steps up to you, holding a gold ring attached to a pair of red leather straps - a ring gag. "Open up." You clamp your mouth shut, but the elf grabs your exposed balls and begins to squeeze - hard. Defeated, you open your mouth and let him push the ring into your mouth, behind your teeth. He pulls the straps tight behind your head and you hear the click of a small lock. "No more pouting or crying for you." {elseif Bondage level = 7}Once again, Shinny is waiting for you in the red room. This time, he's holding a thin paintbrush made of silver. "What am I going to do with you, Louis?" he says. "No need to answer that. I'll tell you as we go along. Hold him still." The assistant elves grab your arms as Shinny brings the tip of the paintbrush to your chest, under your left collarbone, and begins to write in large red letters. "NAUGHTY. KEEP TIGHTLY WRAPPED. This will tell all the other elves to make sure they tie you up nice and tight in your cell at night." He moves around behind you and begins to write the same thing on your back. "Oh, and by the way, this is one of Bushy's clever little toys. This stuff doesn't get washed off and is going to mark you as a troublemaker for quite a long time, so I wouldn't bother trying to remove it." {elseif Bondage level = 8}Once again, Shinny is waiting for you in the red room. Like last time, he's holding Bushy's special silver paintbrush. "Still misbehaving, Louis?" he says. "Hold him down over there." The assistant elves grab your arms and push you over a crate. One of them kicks your legs apart as far as the chain between your ankles will go. You twist around to see Shinny bring the paintbrush down on your lower back and start to write. "STUFF ME. This will tell all the other elves to make sure your hole is properly filled when you're in your cell." {endif}

{if Bondage level < 8}"All right, take him back to the production line." {elseif Bondage level = 8}"Now, let's give you a taste of what's to come..." You watch as the assistants lay out a metal frame in the middle of the room. The frame appears to have attachment points for your collar and shackles. {elseif Bondage level = 9}You shudder as you see the metal frame and not just one but two candy cane fuckmachines laid out in Shinny's red room ready for you. {else}You see that the elves have laid out the metal frame and the two candy cane fuckmachines ready for you. {endif}
