Vanessa - Butt plug, dildo

Kurtis and Alex stepped through the room into the one beyond. Vanessa went over and tried the door herself to see if more people could enter. The door wouldn't budge.

"Didn't think it was going to be that easy," Vanessa laughed.

Alyssa went over and pointed to the diagramn "Oo-on ee e e out?"

"Yes we should help them out," said Kate, going over to the diagram as well.

"You can understand her?" Vanessa asked.

"Of course. Gag talk is a language you can learn with practice."

"A helpful skill for the rest of the escape room, probably," Vanessa mused.

"Now, let's see." Kate turned her attention to the window, where Alex and Kurtis were standing around, unsure of where to go. Kate brought her mouth up to a section of the window with holes in it. "Okay, Kurtis sweetie, Alex, can you two hear me?"

Both of them gave a thumbs up.

"Ok, we will tell you where to go. The map is a bit confusing, hold on." Kate leant back to address Alyssa. "I just direct them along that path, right?"

Alyssa shook her head. "I aa oo e one o-e-e."

"Oh, I see." Kate turned back. "There's two paths that you have to take at the same time. I believe this just means you both need to step on a tile before continuing on to a new one."

Kate looked to Alyssa to confirm. She shrugged. "I in o."

Kate turned back. "Ok, in that case, Kurtis, from your current position, take a step to your right and then spin ninety degrees to the right. Alex, take a step back and turn fully around."

"Ow a I ean o no e I ully a-oun?" Alex asked through her gag.

"Feel the glyph that will be by your feet," Vanessa offered.

Alex tilted her head, thinking that it was a good idea. Kurits was already in position, and Alex followed suit, carefully taking a step back, before kneeling down and feeling the symbol that formed a groove on the tile before turning around.

"Perfect. Now that I have a great view of Kurtis' ass, we can continue."

Alyssa pointed at the poster.

Kate looked over. "Kurtis, continue forwards until you hit your next plate. Alex, walk forward until I say stop."

Alex stepped off the plate onto the sand of the floor, and took a few small steps before Kate called out "Stop. Now turn left and walk until you get to a plate."

After a brief wait, both Kurtis and Alex got to their next pressure plates. They heard something click.

Alyssa and Kate consulted the map again. "Okay," Kate mused. "This next one could be tricky. You both have to travel quite a distance without triggering a pressure plate on the way."

Alyssa traced a path around the edges of the map. "A-e a o a-oun e o-er."

"True. Alex, I need you to sidestep until you reach the wall, then travel anti-clockwise around it until I direct you to stop."

Alex nodded, and started shuffling towards the edge of the room.

"And Kurtis?" Vanessa asked. "He can't go round the edge. His next plate is in the middle of the room."

"Kurtis will be fine." Kate leant forward. "Kurtis, remember Ibiza in 08? I need you to do that."

Alyssa and Vanessa looked at Kate as if she was mad. But then, as they consulted the window, they saw that Kurtis was taking grand strides diagonally towards his target, and avoiding all of the of the other pressure plates on his way. He came to a stop on the exact plate he needed, just as Kate called for Alex to stop edging around the sides of the room.

"Alex, now I need you to jump forward. Not too much. You just have to avoid one plate by your feet. The next one beyond that is what you want."

Alex looked around, as if the order she had just got was crazy, but then she took a deep breath and did a small jump over the pressure plate. She came to a shaky stop on the sand, then stood up and held out her arms like a gymnast. She then walked forward until the next pressure plate sank as she stood on it.

"Very good. Now, last one. You both need to make it to the north side of the room, in the middle of the wall there is an alcove with a gilded box. There are two pressure plates in front of it. To get to it, you both need to find the north wall and then shimmy along. Alex, for you you just need to go back the way you came. Kurtis, you are currently facing east. There is one plate in your path, but if you jump far enough, it won't be a problem."

Alex tentatively turned back around and jumped back over the previous plate. Kurtis wheeled around slowly, until he was facing north. Then he did a solid jump to the back wall, sailing across the plate in between. Now that Alex and Kurtis were both in position, they shimmied along the wall towards each other.

Kurtis was the picture of concentration. And although Alex wouldn't admit it, she was actually having heaps of fun.

The two blind participants made contact with each other, which startled Alex. They then turned t face the gilded box, and stepped forward onto the pressure plates. As the box clicked open, Alyssa, Kate and Vanessa all cheered.

"Congratulations, we did it! Now Alex, see what's in the box."

Alex, being the one who still had the use of at least one hand, reached into the box and pulled out a few garments, which she draped over her taped arm, and an ankh.

"What's that?" Vanessa asked.

"It's a key. It slots into the wall over there," Kate noted, pointing behind them. Vanessa looked behind, and sure enough, embedded in the stone wall behind them was an ankh-shaped indent.

"Ok, make your way back now, you two," Kate ordered. "I don't think you have to worry about setting off the pressure plates on the way back."

Alex and Kurtis nodded. They hooked an arm round each other and made their way back to the room where the three girls were. They were both hugged in delight as soon as they did return.

"Now, lets get these restraints on first, then we can see where that ankh leads us," Kate offered.

"Depending on if Alex gets more restraints, we may also be able to get through the next scarab door," Kurtis replied.

"True." Kate held up the biggest item from the box. It was a latex leotard with straitjacket sleeves. There was also a large roll of duct tape and saran wrap, and two butt plugs.

"Well the leotard is latex, and not pvc," Kate mused. "So presumably it must be for the one without a theme yet." Kate handed the leotard to Vanessa, who studied it with doe-eyes.

"Ooh this looks nice," Vanessa said. "Oh, and there's even a hole for the tail to come through. Alyssa, if you wouldn't mind helping me out."

Alyssa looked a bit apprehensive, but then Kate reminded her that they were on a time crunch, and she dashed over to help Vanessa, who was already halfway into the neck entry garment.

Kate attached one of the butt plugs into her chastity belt, where it automatically locked, and then explained to her husband that the second one was for him. Kurtis seemed to smile a bit at that, and didn't resist as Kate reached down the back of his speedo and stuffed the pre-lubed plug in.

"There, now that everyone's lower holes are filled, lets see where this tape goes."

Alex perked up at hearing about the tape. She went a bit weak at the knees. Kate consulted the inside of the roll, which instructed her to mummify Alex's head with the tape, except for her ponytail. the saran wrap was to go underneath, as to not damage Alex's hair with the tape.

"We're just going to finish covering up your head, Alex darling. Don't be afraid. It's just tape." And without any more warning, Kate began winding the wrap around Alex's head.

At this point, Alyssa was buckling the last of the buckles of Vanessa's straitjacket. The material was immaculately polished, and was shiny enough that you could see the rest of the group reflected in the leotard.

"Fuck I love this so much," Vanessa mused, testing out the bonds. "Impossible to get out of, too. Do you think they'll let me keep this after the escape room?"

"Who knows?" Kurtis laughed. "But for now, I believe we have two avenues to explore. Vanessa, Alex, have a look through the scarab door. Kate, Alyssa and I will see what the scarab does."
