Book Chapter - The Hall of Rubber Ribbons (Patreon)

It felt like forever since Jolly had found herself in this strange facility. With no way of knowing how much time had passed, all she could do was keep track of the number of times the lights in her room dimmed, indicating that it was time for her to sleep. Due to the first couple of anxiety attacks she had endured, her entire living space was accommodated with inflatable rubber. The bed was just a rectangular water balloon with an inflatable pillow. The TV on the wall which often fed her instructions and played office comedies occasionally, was just a rubber black tile on the padded cell with a screen projected onto it. Even the toilet was made of vinyl, which just made going to the bathroom a little awkward.

The staff weren’t taking any chances with her, as even her clothes were added as a precautionary measure. Forced to wear shoulder-high latex gloves that were tightly inflated around her arms, with her hands wrapped in puffed-up mitts that made grabbing things virtually impossible, of course, her cell had nothing that she could interact with. Other than that, all she had to wear was a sleeveless latex leotard underneath with a hard-to-reach zipper in the back, if she ever needed to use the restroom she would always need one of the androids to assist her, though sleeves would have to stay on of course.

Although the strangest alteration to her cell that had been made since her first panic attacks, was the complete removal of her cell door. Instead, whenever the androids entered her cell, they would simply emerge from the segmented padding on walls, slipping their rubber-coated bodies through a built-in gap between the cushions. Unfortunately, whenever she attempted to follow them through, the cushions wouldn't even budge for her, remaining tightly inflated so she couldn't pass. The only way she would ever find herself outside her cell was after the Androids had stuffed her in a large black cocoon balloon.

Laying down on her water bed, Jolly could imagine how she was transported from test chamber to test chamber. Perhaps a much larger door would open up after she was encapsulated, or maybe the padded ceiling had a hidden hatch that would allow her balloon to be carried into a new room? But since she never found out how she even brought in the chamber to begin with, she could only guess and speculate as she Restlessly rolled back and forth in her rubber bed. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she got, knowing that there was a way out of her prison but she had no way of knowing where it was or what it could be. But of course, unless she was abruptly escorted out for another test, there was nothing she could do but lie down or watch the TV.

Just then, she heard what sounded like a loud sharp snap from behind the walls,  Carrying the Daylight out of her as she jumped up from her bed and onto the padded floor.   The silence that followed was almost unsettling, with only the subtle rubbery creaks from beneath her feet. At first, she thought it might be the sound of something breaking, but then realized that it was probably something electrical, like static electricity or a short circuit. Perhaps there was some kind of machinery behind the walls, and not solely inflated rubber like she imagined. Then, what happened next left her baffled, as the rubber padding began to sag underneath her feet, almost causing her to lose her balance, and looking up to see the same was happening to the walls as well. With only her waterbed maintaining its volume, the entire room seemed to deflate as all cushions became squishy and slightly wrinkled.

Only moments after, she could feel the pressure around her arms gently settling, looking down at her hands to see that her restrictive mitts were also deflating. There was no hissing air or any signs of a leak, the rubber just seemed to collapse around her arms. Jolly almost couldn't believe it, but she didn't waste the opportunity, shaking the sleeves off until they flung off and fluttered to the ground. The young woman had almost forgotten what it was like to look at her hands, or how it felt to move her fingers, something she never thought she'd have to be thankful for. Now only wearing her rubber leotard, she began investigating the walls, taking this opportunity to find the opening through the deflated walls, and it didn't take her long to find one. As expected, right where the androids often emerged, was a thin but noticeable gap between the deflated pads.

Jolly stuck her hand in between the pads, and as expected, she was able to slip her hand through with a little effort. Though it was still a rather tight fit, she was pretty sure she could make her way through. Without a second thought, she began sidestepping into the gap, the rubber walls creaking loudly as her body slipped between the squishy pads. It was a bit difficult at first as the latex pads pulled on her hair to an uncomfortable degree, but fortunately, her well-polished leotard made it easy for her body to slip through. After a couple of steps, she managed to push herself inside completely, although the walls quickly became a bit smothering as the pads had very little space between them.

Jolly was forced to hold her breath as the inflatable pads brushed and rubbed past her face, assaulting her ears with loud squeaks as she winced against a tight rubber. The deeper she went, the tighter the walls became, slowing her progress as she blushed at the squeezing sensation. This hadn't been the first time she had been squeezed by inflatable rubber, but it felt so intimate as the padded balloons rubbed over her body. However, there was little to no room for her to breathe anymore, with any attempts to inhale just resulting in the surrounding rubber pressing in against her face as she winced in discomfort. But even at the risk of being smothered, she didn't dare turn back to her cell, not what she had a chance to escape. Finally, after 20 agonizing seconds of pushing herself through the wall, she felt a breeze on her right arm as she finally found an exit at the end of the gap, pushing herself through as she took a much-needed breath of air, nearly collapsing to her knees on a much colder and harder surface.

Once the young woman had caught her breath,  brought her head forward as eyes readjusted to the light of what appeared to be a very thin hallway with a very tall ceiling. The hallway felt almost as smothering as the gap she had just exited through, with walls just as shiny and white as the latex padding in her holding cell, but with a much more metallic gleam, as if the room was made of porcelain. She felt no smaller than she did around the androids, swallowing nervously as she started making her way down the hall. Jolly shivered as her bare feet touched the cold slick floor, he was much cooler in the hole than it was in her cell, and it didn't help that her rubber outfit didn't cover her arms or legs

As she continued stepping forward, she failed to notice multiple vertical slits lining the walls, each one barely a centimeter wide and 4 inches high. Jolly paid them no mind as she stepped past them, but was startled as she heard what sounded like a subtle click from the openings. The young woman flinched for a moment stopping only briefly as she looked and noticed the vertical slits on the wall. This startled Jolly, becoming even more anxious as she thought that she may have activated some kind of trap trap, but nothing seemed to happen.   Though still Flustered, the young woman let out a sigh of relief as she continued onward, completely oblivious to a new strap of latex that had been wrapped around the waist of her leotard.

It was only as she continued walking forward that she noticed the other thin openings on the wall, the next one being a couple of steps ahead of her as she kept her eye on the one to her right, wondering if she could see what was inside. Startled with another sudden click, both of her hands suddenly slapped together as something tightened around her wrist. Jolly gasped as she looked down to see a red shiny band of some sort wrapped around both of her wrists squeezing them together like handcuffs. It was only then that she noticed the red band that was wrapped around her waist as well, her pupils dilating as she quickly tried to pull her hands apart in a panic. The cuffs merely creaked as her wrists refused to budge, barely stretching out a centimeter. As her breathing quickened, she looked back at the openings on the wall she had just walked past, finally putting two and two together.

She hadn't seen anything shoot out from them, but it was the only exclamation for what had happened to her hands and waist. With a nervous gulp, she continued walking forward, approaching cautiously toward the next pair of openings on the wall. She couldn't just simply walk past them like before, fortunately, they were only at her torso's height barely being a foot long. With that, she crouched down on her hands and knees, ducking underneath the bands as she began crawling past them. Just as she smiled with confidence, another loud click could be heard from above her as she felt something cold and rubbery slap onto her neck.

Gasping as she felt the cold slick rubber slap onto her skin, she immediately put her hands up to her throat, finding another ribbon-like band had been wrapped around her throat like a choker. Thankfully, it wasn't uncomfortably tight, but it was so secure that she couldn't find a way to peel it off. After standing up, she kept trying to tug at it, but was too skin-tight to even get a finger under. After her struggles proved useless, turned her attention back to her bound wrists. If these were bondage traps she was walking through, then the band cuffing her wrists made sense, but the ones around her waist and neck appeared to be cosmetic at best, and specifically fitted to make sure they wouldn't choke or constrict her.

Looking ahead, she could barely see the other openings slits ahead of her on the walls because of how thin they were, so she had no idea how many more she would have to pass before making it to the end. Swallowing nervously, she made her way forward walking hesitantly but increasing her pace little by little, until she was almost in a full sprint. If she couldn't avoid the rubber traps, then perhaps she could outrun them. Barely able to swing her arms, she kept her hands straight down as she quickly passed the next vertical slots, only to feel a tightening sensation around her upper body. “EEEP!” Nearly tripping as she quickly slowed down, she looked down to see that her arms had been bound to her sides, with another red strap tightly secured right beneath her breasts.

Jolly’s hands were already rendered useless, but now she could barely bend her arms at the elbow. With only her legs free, the young woman debated whether or not she should keep going at all. For all she knew, there were enough traps ahead to cocoon her entire body. Then again, she already come so far, and if she turned back she would still be in bondage. Jolly couldn't stop herself from shivering as she approached the next trap, Knowing likely she would be bound again, it was a good bet that her legs would be next.  Taking a moment to decide how to proceed, she knew that running and crawling wouldn't do her any good, but perhaps she could still outmaneuver the trap. With a deep breath, she crouched down to the ground, leaping forward and landing on her side as she rolled past the slits, only to be met with another loud sharp click.

Her eyes shot open with a look of dismay as she felt another okay strap tightly wrapped around her thighs, looking down to see it nicely secured halfway above her knees. “MMMMMGH!” Jolly groaned as she tried to stretch her legs apart, but she couldn't budge them an inch as the rubber strap squeaked from her struggle. Even though the strap didn't feel tight, it was just as secure as all the others wrapped around her. Bending her legs, she clumsily wobbled back and forth while trying to get herself to stand upright, but with most of her body bound at this point, she didn't have much articulation to work with.

Instead, she scooted back towards the wall, and leaned against it to get the leverage to stand up. At this point, she could just barely walk, and it would only get worse if she continued forward. But if she went back, it's not like she could push herself through the gap with her arms bound as they were, much less with her legs so tightly strapped together. Tilting her head back with a groan, she slowly made her way forward, looking much more determined if not a bit annoyed as she practically tiptoed her way to the next trap. “At this point, it can't get much worse than this…” she thought to herself.

Though it took much longer than before, she eventually managed to next vertical slit, dreading every tiny step she took as she could only prepare herself for the inevitable.  Unable to wipe away the sweat dripping down her forehead, she could only close her eyes as she stepped past the next trap, hearing yet another click as both of her feet were slapped together. With another gasp, she looked down to see that both of her feet had been bound at the ankle, losing her balance as she tumbled onto her side. Just like that, she once again found herself stuck on her back, letting out a loud sigh as she slumped against the cold floor. “Okay… now it can't get much worse than this…” or so she thought before she heard a soft hissing sound emanating from around her body.

Jolly could feel all of the rubber straps tightening on her body, looking down to see them puffing up like balloons. The latex ribbons were inflating around her body, giving her a tender squeeze as let out a gasp. Little by little, the once flat rubber straps were now filling out, becoming much more rounded and growing larger as the moments passed. “UHGH.” she groaned as her choker pressed up against her lower jaw, inflating abound her neck until POOF!

With a sudden rush of air, the choker instantaneously puffed up and tripled in size, completely encompassing her neck and forcing her chin up. “Humph!” Like an inflatable neck brace, the now ballooning choker pressed up against her cheeks. Fortunately, the collar wasn't tight enough to strangle her, but the pressure made it impossible to move her head as if she had been fitted into an inflatable neck brace. Flabbergasted, she could only whimper as she tried to push her chin down, but the inflatable ring only squeaked loudly underneath her ears as chin sprung back upright.

With another poof, the strap on her arms puffed up as well, inflating over her chest as well as her arms, giving her breasts a loving squeeze underneath the tight rubber. Jolly couldn't prevent another gasp from escaping her lips as the balloon-like ring hugged her body, bounding her further as if being tucked into an inflatable sleeve. Enveloping Jolly from her shoulders down to her belly button, she had little movement to speak of with how tightly it was inflated. The least she could do was wiggle, but would cause her breasts to rub against the latex of the balloon sleeve as she let out a whimper of a moan.

Just then, the strap around her legs suddenly inflated, letting out another loud POOF as the ring encompassed and squeezed down on her pelvis and thighs. Jolly’s moan quickly turned to a squeal as red rubber puffed between her legs, her face turning red as her mostly cocooned body began to float above the floor. “Uh?” the flustered woman began to wiggle and squirm within her rubbery confines, hovering just a couple of inches above ground. The rings must have been inflated with helium.

“This… is too much!” she groaned, frustrated that she couldn't even turn her head down to see the state of her body, only able to see the red rubber of her choker in her peripheral vision. At this point, she couldn't even bend over, as the pressure of the inflatable rings kept her posture straight and restrained. Though she could still wiggle, her struggles would only result in the balloons rubbing and teasing her more sensitive areas. Finally, the strap around her wrists inflated, sealing her fists in a single inflatable cuff; followed by her feet only seconds after, puffing up into a ball up to her ankles. And just like that, most of her body was now encompassed in inflatable rubber, helplessly floating above the floor as she moaned in protest.

“Come.. ON! I'm already tied up in bondage! What's the point of-” her complaints were soon silenced as the balloons began emanating a strange reverberating sound,  sending a strange tingling sensation across her body as if she was being tickled. But as the sound ramped up, the balloons started to visibly shake, causing the young woman to gasp as the rubber began to vibrate all across her body. “GaaaaAAH?” It only took a few moments for another loud moan to leave her mouth as the snug balloons rubbed and massaged the bound woman, making her blush the rubber practically tickled every inch of her body.

Her struggles slowed to a crawl as her body began to relax underneath all of the trembling rubber rings, gasping helplessly as the inflatables massaged her most sensitive areas. The collar rubbed out every little knot In her neck muscles, even squeezing her shoulders as her muscles began to relax. The ring binding her torso kneaded all around her breasts, rubbing them vigorously while tickling her nipples, making the woman whimper as she struggled not to moan. The balloon wrapped over her pelvis squeezed between her legs while buzzing up against her womanhood, teasing her relentlessly as she started to bite her lip. All while the cuffs wrapped around her hands and feet simply tickled her sensitive areas,  buzzing underneath her soles and rubbing the palms of her hands, making it nearly impossible to resist even the giggle.

Barely moments passed before she couldn't take it anymore, letting out an earth-shattering moan as she surrendered to the massaging rings. Jolly’s cries of pleasure echoed throughout the thin hallway, even deafening the sound of the vibrating inflatable rubber around her as she gently floated above the floor. With no choice but to accept her massaging bondage, her thoughts of escape drifted from her mind as she melted within the vibrating inflatables.

Meanwhile, within a nearby observation room, Rei-Uno was watching the human's predicament play out from the monitors, taking notes on her heads-up display with a wide smile on her rubbery face. “Heart rate seems normal, stress is going down, I don't think ever seen her this relaxed since she was brought here.” she chuckled to herself, turning to face the female lab worker standing next to her. “Perhaps giving our guests special treatment from time to time could help boost morale among our test subjects.” Though also intrigued by the tests, the female lab worker standing next to her couldn't help but question the practicality of the test.

“Miss Rei-Uno… if the purpose of this test was to relax this test subject, why go through all the trouble of building this hallway? Couldn't we have just given her the rings while she was in her cell?” the woman asked. The android just smiled, looking as if she was holding back a little chuckle. “Where's the fun in that?” she replied with a wink.
