Tilly learns about her mistakes

Tilly woke up even before her alarm. Today was the day, the end of her week of freedom. She was more than a little nervous, after all she had let some bad habits creep back into her life without the Taskmaster watching her. That's why she was determined to do the right thing today.

Well that had been her intention. A text from Sam distracted her.

Miss you <3

She shot back a text, 'No fair'. What was meant to be a simple shower turned into a prolonged masturbation session. By the time she finally stepped out of the shower on shaky legs she was late. She didn't have time to put on her makeup or make a nutritious breakfast. She threw on an outfit, grabbed a slice of bread, and hurried to work.

After starting her shift she saw a text from Anita, 'Looking forward to movie night!'.

"Shit!" Tilly cursed. She'd made plans with Sam and Anita!

"What's wrong?" Emi asked. She was sitting in a chair by the cash with her broken leg elevated. She wasn't very mobile but it was nice having someone else in the store while she worked.

"I'm an idiot. I made plans with my girlfriend and my best friend at the same time!" Tilly complained.

"Ah. Been there..." Emi laughed softly, "Or would have if I had either of those things."

Tilly sighed, "Any advice?"

"Um...tell the truth? Or I could say you have to work late and you cancel on both!"

Tilly seriously considered it, then shook her head, "No. That would be wrong. You are right. I'll just fess up...hmm maybe Sam would come to movie night with Anita? They haven't actually met yet."

"Good call...movie night...sounds fun..." Emi said sadly.

Tilly raised her eyebrows, "What, you want to be invited too?"

"Yes! I accept!" Emi said with a sly smile.

"What, no, I..."

"No takebacks! I'm coming. Oh, do you have an elevator in your building?" Emi paused, "Or I could host it here! We could play it on the TV I use to play ads."

"Whoa whoa. Fine. You can come too. But it's still at my apartment, and yes I have an elevator." Tilly said with a sigh.

"Sweet! I'll bring sweets." Emi said, "Now get back to work! I'm not paying you to talk to your coworkers!" She said with a grin.

Tilly rolled her eyes, "Just a minute." She pulled out her phone and texted Sam and Anita. She apologized for being an idiot and asked if they would both come over for a movie night. She asked them about inviting Emi too. Thankfully they both agreed. They didn't seem angry...she hoped she hadn't hurt them.

The rest of her shift passed fairly uneventfully and she made it home just in time for Taskmaster to reactivate.

She knew it had returned because she suddenly lost control of her body. She had just closed the door to her apartment and was now completely frozen in place. She couldn't even move her eyes. Then she heard the voice of Taskmaster in her mind.

"Reinitializing...complete. Tilly your week of freedom has been reviewed. You failed to establish that you can live up to your own goals without the assistance of Taskmaster.

We will begin by reviewing your goals...

Find a job -> You remain employed but you were late 3 days and did not appear to take it seriously

Don't Be Lazy -> You slept in, you spent a significant amount of time masturbating, you did not take care of your appearance, you did not take time to cook for yourself, you did not clean your apartment

Lose Weight - You ate a significant amount of fast food and dessert. You did not work out once. You gained 5 pounds.

Make a friend - You upset your friend by forgetting about plans with her. She is willing to forgive you but you need to be better

Have Sex - You had sex this week. No issue except that your lover is upset you changed plans last minute.

Explore BDSM as a submissive - You tried bondage but not submission. You haven't even attempted to explore submission with your lover.

Get admitted to a PhD program in clinical psychology - You did not even do the slightest bit of research towards this goal

Significant corrections are required...introducing new rules...rules will be written into your soul and cannot be broken

Rule #1 Tilly will wake at 6:00

Rule #2 Tilly will not masturbate without permission

Rule #3 Tilly cannot eat more than 1600 calories in a day, without permission from Taskmaster

No Daily Quests will be generated today but you are on thin ice. Keep your goals in mind throughout the night or else Taskmaster will take control."

Taskmaster released her and she nearly fell on her face. She gulped...oh no. She'd really messed up. She didn't even realize how she'd fallen into old habits so easily. "Oh no..." She sighed. Her friends would be here soon...her apartment was a mess. She had to clean, and get ready. She didn't have time to panic. She had to get started right away.
