"What? Oh, if you stop struggling you'll be wrapped up faster, and I'll stop then," she said as the web strapped Severity's arms across one another beneath her breasts.
"You ask such strange questions."

Severity gasped. "I meant stop you from eating me..." she said quietly.

Strong hands hauled the girl up by her bound arms as the wrappings reached her throat. Yellow eyes rolled at her question as strands of webbing wrapped over her lips, binding them shut, then further up until there was naught but a small gap over her nose to breath through.

Bound and silenced, she squirmed, trying to break free. However, the web was simply too strong for her.

The struggling bundle was hauled against something hard and bent over it at her waist. There was a lifting pressure and the soft rustle of wind around her, though she couldn't feel it past her wrappings. Whatever was carrying her was sliding fast around corners in a barely-noticeable stride. The sickening motions stopped smoothly, and the creak of an old door reached through the wrappings covering her ears. Heat washed over her as something took hold of her by the ankles and hauled her loose into the air to hang freely.

Severity squirmed blindly, trying to dislodge teh wrappings enough to at least see where she was.

A strong hand, cool against the heat of the room, wrapped over the back of the girl's head and pulled hard to steady her. The wrappings had held fast, but now something cold and smooth was being worked between them and against the side of her face. It held steady as the sound of cutting fabric pressed hard into Severity's ear, then lifted away with enough of the webbing to expose her left eye.
Light danced around the edge of the room, inverted to the student's view, from a massive furnace in the center. Beside the inferno sat a plain metal chair, an anvil, and what appeared to be a collection of metal working tools. In a far corner, a human-shaped white bundle lay curled and unmoving with its back towards the other bound woman.

She cast her eyes about helplessly, wondering what was going to happen to her.

The yellow eyes swam into her vision. Steel was apparently hanging from the ceiling as well, for her face was inverted as well and her hair hang askew towards the floor. A pair of bandage scissors appeared as she brought her hand up and clapped their blades twice.
"Snip snip," she said as a dark grin crossed her lips. The smooth edge dug in under the sticky wrappings coating Severity's breast to cut just enough away to expose one nub, then the other.

She tensed, feeling the cold blades against her bare skin.

The gray woman rested a finger against her lips and twirled the safe blades loosely in her other hand. "That should be good for now," she said with a smirk. The hand at her lips reached out and pinched hard at one of the bared nipples.

She gasped, but remained silent. The girl couldn't help but wonder what she was planning.

The fingers remained latched hard onto the nipple for what seemed an unmoving eternity. They finally let go only to reach out and flick fast over the other.

She flinched, feeling them harden under Steel's expert touch.

The gray hand came back into view before Severity and presented itself, front and back, to her limited sight. It curled down as if trying to tap Steel's inner wrist and unwrapped to present a mechanical spider that fit snugly in the palm. The thing skittered briefly and launched itself onto the webbing covering the girl's other eye, causing her to rock slightly where she hung.
