The audience had all been visibly disappointed as Felina managed to lift the contacts clear of the charged cylinder - getting off too lightly, they all felt, although it was clear from the strain involved that she would not be able to hold this position much longer.

So, with equal measures of excited anticipation on one side and helpless dread on the other, Jenny rose and strode once more to the stage, her distinctive footsteps confirming Felina and Lou's worst fears while the hostess holds the timer paused with 45 minutes remaining.

As with the previous contraptions, her new contribution is fiendish yet simple: a handful of elastic cords. In no hurry since the timer is paused, she takes her time demonstrating them to the audience and her captive victims, snapping each in turn at poor Lou's vulnerable clamped nipples. With each painful impact, poor Lou lost her grip on the joystick, delivering electrical agony to one or two parts of her anatomy for what feels like an eternity as she struggles to concentrate on centring the ball once more, despite the torment.

Eventually, the sadistic beauty tired of tormenting her blonde captive and moved to her main target. The hostess grins cruelly as she drops the heavy metal weights suddenly, making poor Felina yelp and jerk, brushing the cylinder and triggering another vicious cycle of shock-induced jerks causing more shocks, but Felina's iron will quickly broke the cycle; after the first two times, even snapping the elastic against her cruelly clamped nipples didn't make her move enough to trigger another shock, so Jenny sighed in disappointment and moved to the main event.

Felina whimpered a little as she worked out what was happening: each cord was now linking a metal contact to the base of the charged cylinder, pulling the weight both down and inwards by enough to make contact. Where previously the bound performer had been able to escape pain by pulling her body and the weights up, now she would have to push her body down to get enough slack in the cords to avoid the current.

As a parting gesture, while the hostess restarts the timer's count of the remaining 45 minutes, Jenny flips Louise's joystick into a more brutal mode - not only reversing the safe zone in the middle to shock all four points rather than none, but increasing the power level the longer the ball is held in a single position. The pained yelps certainly have an effect on their inflictor and the audience; she hopes they're having an impact on Felina as well. If not, at the thirty minute mark she will make sure Felina finally chooses to warm herself up a bit...
