Lost Clause

[Flashlight237]

"I think you lost the plot," Alice replied. "Anyway..."

Alice pressed a button. Soon after, bandages started wrapping Claire. She activated the release mechanism on the mechanical arm holding Claire in order to let the bandages have a clean wrap on her.

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

“I should mention that you lot ARE the products! Now open wide aka moro!” Aka moros mouth was crammed with sponges then sealed shut with black latex.

[Polyedit2000]

"When I get out-" Claire was still wearing a straitjacket suit with a thick diaper-like padding, so it was virtually inescapable.  At this rate, she'll end up as a pear-shaped mummy.

---

Venta knew that Aka Moro was pretty much accepting her future roll as a round-faced fish as the big girl playfully slapped her tail.  And worse, Venta couldn't help but want to see the end result.

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

She strapped to her to an aquarium like beach tank, and wrote a price tag on the side. After that she started filling the tank with water, as the mechanical hands starpped an oxygen tank to aka moro.

[Flashlight237]

((Eh, details.))

The wraps wrapped Claire's legs separately, then together irrespective of the "choice of attire" Ernesta had given Claire prior. "Those bandages? They're only the first step." The wraps continued, cocooning Claire in layers of linen.

[Polyedit2000]

"Fudge!"  Diamont's mummification was squeezing her in the right places.  A moment's pause betrayed her enjoyment but she quickly school a stern face.

---

Aka Moro wiggled around, trying to keep her head above the water first but also measuring how big the tank she's in is.

Venta knew that she'd be a mess if she were in Aka Moro's position and silently thanked the logic that she'd probably not end up in the same position.

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

The tank was rather small and tight with plush toys of shrimp and octopi with cute faces littered the small tank.

[Flashlight237]

Sure enough, the wraps went over Claire's mouth, then the rest of her head, leaving not an inch uncovered in linen. The wraps would have Claire wrapped in several layers.

"Okay, here's Step 2..!"

Then, a thick linen burial shroud is wrapped and strapped around Claire, more or less like a linen sleepsack. On her right hip, there is a cartouche of Claire's name written in unilateral hieroglyphs. Then...

"And here's Step 3..."

Claire's body is then decorated with the usual Egyptian fixings... She got a golden death mask of her face, a wig of her hairstyle, a maroon-and-grey Egyptian collar, and a sash/skirt thingy over her hips. She looked regal, not that she can see anything right now.

[Polyedit2000]

So essentially, Aka Moro's tank being small and tight would be like saying that it only has enough room for her lying down at the minimum, and both the plushies and air tank reduced the amount of room she could wiggle with.  Even with the water filling up the rest of the tank, Aka Moro remained calm.

---

Diamont could only make faint wiggles and fainter noises, the thick suit and the layers of linen dampening all efforts she tried to make.

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

As she left aka moro to her fate, entesta took venta to where claire was held and tried to get alices attention.

[Flashlight237]

"Okay, here comes the last part..!"

Alice then had two additional burial shrouds completely wrap around Claire's body. The first burial shroud wrapped around Claire is a plain blue-gray burial shroud. The second burial shroud wrapped around her had dark grey straps and was a lighter blue gray with a silver steel girder pattern on it. There is also a chest symbol on it with the Steel Type icon on it.

"And it's done."

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

Ernesta walked up to alice. “Alice, was it? You actually get to watch me bind venta next.”

[Polyedit2000]

Venta remembered that Lilith wasn't fully bound but that meant little when restraints pinned her to an unrelenting wave of paddling.  Aka Moro technically had more movement than Lilith but it meant little in such a small space.  And then seeing the still bundle of cloth that she could guess was Diamont.  It painted a grim picture for her.

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

A group of mechanical hands grabbed venta and alice. They were then led to the top floor of the building.

[Flashlight237]

"Uhh.... Thanks, but I got some other things to take care of..." Alice said. "Specifically the paperwork."

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

“You’ve taken care of the paperwork and now your “promoted”” venta was then bound in in hog tie position by tight wire rope.

[Flashlight237]

"Uhhh... I really haven't," Alice corrected Ernesta. "I'm sorry, I really have to go take care of the paperwork."

((Trying to respect Poly's wishes of not having Alice be a victim here.))

[Polyedit2000]

((Warning: Per company regulations, mechanical apparatus cannot leave the building))

((Warning: Per company regulations, the building is to possess no windows to evaluate interior.))

((At best, the company suggests a top floor with false visuals.))

---

Venta wiggled in her bounds. And as Alice might find out, just because it isn't ideal that she become a victim doesn't mean that she was forbidden from becoming one.

[Flashlight237]

"Ms. Ernesta, you don't want to mess with the company regulations. What if the higher-ups catch wind of this operation? We'll both be kaput..!"

[Hisbraingoingthrough]

((I should have fixed it))




“Relax this is the top floor itsnit really a roof”
