Part Three
Fern woke up in the cosy hotel bed. She grabbed another granola bar from the mini fridge before heading down to the hotel restaurant. Today she was going to go back to the volcano to check out the mystery tunnel, but first things first, it was time for breakfast.
She queued in the hotel restaurant and checked the menu that she had been handed on the way in.
Special K: 0 GGP
Crumpets: 1 GGP
Porridge: 2 GGP
Full English Breakfast: 10 GGP
At first Fern thought the points listed in the menu beside each item was the price, but after reading further she realised the menu listed the reward for ordering each item. “Such an odd hotel” thought Fern to herself.
“I’ll have the cooked breakfast please.” said Fern
“White or brown toast?” Replied the man behind the till while tapping away at the point of sale terminal.
Fern stopped to think for a moment. “How would Sir price things?” She wondered to herself.
“I'll be healthy and have brown please,” said Fern enthusiastically.
“That'll be 12 GGPs,” replied the man at the till.
Fern's belt then started to vibrate rapidly as the transaction completed. This time it seemed to vibrate longer than before causing Fern to squirm slightly.
Fern grinned as she thought to herself how she had managed to play the system for extra points. Or was it the system that was playing her?
Fern sat down to eat her breakfast. She wouldn't have normally picked such a large breakfast so early in the morning but for 12 GGPs she couldn't resist. The bacon was cooked just how she liked it too, although she wished they hadn't put beans on her plate.
Fern finished her meal and got up to return her tray. As she scrapped the last of the baked beans into the food bin she felt a slight zap from the belt between her legs.
“Ow what was that for!” Thought Fern.
She looked down at her phone and sure enough one good girl point had been deducted from her account!
“Guess I'll eat the beans tomorrow then,” sighed Fern.
Fern left the hotel to head back to the volcano. She passed several people she saw yesterday at the induction.
“Morning!” Said a woman covered head to toe in a latex body suit that didn't leave much to the imagination.
“Uuh morning,” replied Fern who wasn't sure where to look.
Fern headed back up the mountain path towards the mysterious metal door. Walking up the mountain was a lot more tiring than coming down so she was glad she had a big breakfast. She reached the door and sure enough it opened so she entered the passageway.
CLUNK. The door had slammed shut behind her and locked. Fern tried the handle but it wouldn't budge. She would have to find another way out.
Fern continued to explore, she wondered what Sir would say if he caught Fern snooping around. As she travelled further into the volcano, and deeper underground, it started to become warmer. The long passageway suddenly came to an end and exited into a large cavern full of all sorts of various machines and robots.
“They're building SirTech belts”, said Fern with a gasp.
“These must be the new top secret range of belts!”
The volcano was powering a fully automated chastity belt factory that was producing belt after belt at incredible speed. Fern wondered how many hundreds of thousands of belts this factory must have produced and who would soon be wearing them.
As Fern continued to explore she spotted a small door with a sign labelled “Dungeon”. Fern couldn't resist having a look inside even though willingly wandering into Sir's dungeon was maybe a silly idea.
Fern walked past a row of one-way mirrors and peered into each room in Sir’s dungeon. Each room seemed to be set up differently as if it was designed with a different person in mind.
At the end of the hallway was a door with an exit sign above.
“Phew time to get out of here before anyone catches me,” thought Fern to herself.
Fern exited through the door and into a lift. She pressed the “ground floor” button and hoped it would take her back to the top of the volcano.
With a ding the lift doors slid open and Fern gulped when she realised where she was.
“Hi sweetie,” said Sir with a grin.
The lift had taken Fern all the way up the mountain to Sir’s Manor, right into his office where he was sitting at his computer. He had been watching Fern’s entire adventure through the CCTV monitors.
“Looks like you had a fun adventure!” Chuckled Sir.
“Maybe I should give you a personal tour of my dungeon though”
“Would you like that?”
Fern gulped and turned bright red.
“Yes Sir,” replied Fern.
