Anna rolled over in bed as the snooze on her alarm went off again. It was going to be a long day, and she really didn't want to go into work, but it was only one more day. Anna worked for the renfaire doing odd jobs. Sometimes she cooked food, other times she made candles, or she gave tours and all other sorts of stuff. Anna didn't mind the job. Depending on the job you got, it could be fun, and when you worked, the money was good.
However, the renfaire wasn't doing so good financially. Thus, the hours were bad, it was for this very reason Anna wanted to get out of the business. In fact, the previous night there was a critical meeting of the renfaire staff to address the poor attendance. Anna should have went, but she didn't. She was done after the day, and really didn't care what changes the organizers had in mind. But it would be a long day, 12 hours.
Jobs were offered on a first come first serve basis, and people signed up for shifts at the meeting last night. She really should have went to get her first pick at jobs, but she didn't care. Only one more day after all. Last night Anna got a text from Susan, another renfaire worker, asking Anna to cover 4 hours of her shift. Anna's shift was now from 8am to 8pm rather than 8am to 4pm.
Anna was surprised Susan offered her the shift. Susan needed the money just as much as Anna did, and her job from 4pm to 8pm was the stocks. The stocks were the easiest, albeit most boring, job at the renfaire. They locked your feet in stocks, and you just sit there all day. Signs would be put up teaching the renfaire goers about how stocks were used to humiliate criminals by posting their crime next to them in the stocks, and leave them in the town square all day.
The job of the person in the stocks was to just be there in the stocks, look helpless, and just be another prop to make the renfaire more authentic. It was such and easy job and it felt like stealing money from the renfaire to work the stocks. Why Susan would give this job away was beyond Anna. She though too, the last 4 hours she'd have to work for the renfaire she'd be getting paid time and a half and she would just sit there.
Anna arrived at the Renfaire at 7:30am. She was met by Brad, Susan's boyfriend. “Oh, thank you so much. Anna. Thank you, thank you, thank you.” Brad said. Anna gave Brad a confused look as Brad continued, “Susan was terrified when she got the stocks job. I've never seen her so distraught. She was just shaking thinking about it until you agreed to cover her shift.”
Still confused, Anna responded, “Yeah, of course. What was Susan so worked up about? She's done stocks before, they are easy.” Brad responded, “You don't seem too concerned about the changes they made last night. That's good. Maybe you'll want to stick around and work here a little longer. You'll have plenty of hours doing stocks. Well, I need to get ready for work. Have a good day.”
Brad ran off leaving Anna as confused as ever. Oh well, she'll figure it out. Anna went into the workers area and checked the jobs sheet to see what jobs she got stuck with at the meeting last night. Anna found her name on the sheet, then let out an annoyed sigh. She had stocks from 8am-Noon, then also from Noon-4pm. Susan's shift was crossed off with a big red X, and her 4pm-8pm shift in the stocks was written next to Anna's name. “She really wanted to make sure everyone knew she traded shifts,” Anna thought.
“Well, this is going to be the most boring day of my life. I can't believe I got all 3 shifts in the stocks. Normally people fall over themselves to get shifts in the stocks. It is so easy, but 3 shifts in a row is going to be hard. I wish I brought a book or something,” Anna changed into her renfaire attire. Anna slipped into some shorts and a tube top. She always found the outfit the girls have to ware to be a bit revealing, but Anna had a fantastic body and didn't mind showing it off. Anna put on her thin leather shoes, then walked out to the town square where the stocks were located.
Steve was waiting for her at the stocks. Steve was an all around handyman for the renfaire, but what he was doing at the stocks Anna didn't know. The stocks were easy enough to get into, she didn't need any help. “Good morning, Anna,” Steve said in his jolly voice. “You look surprisingly enthusiastic. I though you weren't going to show up today.”
As Anna sat herself down in the stocks and got herself locked in she replied, “Had I known I'd be sitting here all day, I might not have shown up. I'm going to be so bored, and I don't even have anything to read or listen to.” Steve said, “I'm sure you won't get bored, those changes they made last night were pretty drastic.” By now Anna had her feet in the stocks, and the wooden plank closed to lock her feet in. They were big heavy stocks. The holes for her feet were separated, so each foot was isolated.
“Ok, let's get your arms tied up,” said Steve in his jolly voice. “What!?!” Anna responded. “Remember what they said last night, we need to make it more authentic. Back in the day the criminals weren’t able to move their arms about. Their arms were just as immobile as their feet,” said Steve.
“Ok, whatever. I guess that makes sense.” Anna responded.
Steve looped some rope around Anna's wrists, tying a tight knot when he was done. Steve then threw the loose end of the rope over a branch of the tree they were sitting under. Steve then pulled the rope tight so that Anna's arms were stretched vertically. She couldn't move her arms an inch. When Steve was done, he moved to Anna's feet.
Anna was looking up at the predicament her arms were in when she heard a 'click.' Steve just put a padlock on the stocks. “What's that for? To make it more authentic?” Anna asked. “I feel like you weren't listening at the meeting yesterday. But yes. Once again, back in the day, the criminals were locked in the stocks. The stocks weren't just closed on them, but also locked.”
Again, Anna responded, “Ok, whatever. I guess that makes sense.” Anna was beginning to see why no one wanted the stocks.
Sure, it was more authentic, but it was going to be much more uncomfortable having your arms tied up, and not able to get out of the stocks if you wanted a short break. Anna felt a tug on the leather shoe on her right foot. In a matter of seconds Steve had removed Anna's shoes leaving her bare feet sticking out of the stocks.
“What's this?” Anna said, “I've always been able to keep my shoes on in the stocks. I don't want people looking at my feet.” This time Steve looked confused, “That's what you are concerned about? People looking at your feet will be the least of your worries.”
Anna got concerned, “What do you mean?”
Steve responded, “Well, we need to make it more authentic.” Annoyed, Anna responded with a little anger in her voice, “but what does me being barefoot have to do with making it authentic.” Steve answered, “back in the day, the criminals weren't just put in the stocks, they were punished in the stocks.”
“Punished?” Anna nervously responded.
“Well yeah, didn't you listen to anything that was said last night. We want the renfaire to be more authentic, and audience participation is a great way to get attendance up. Back in the day the criminals were punished by the townspeople while they were in the stocks. What better way to make things more authentic than to have a real criminal in the town square that the audience can tickle.”
Anna's eyes shot open. She was insanely ticklish. There was nothing she hated more than being tickled. What was she going to do? “You can't let people tickle me. This isn't fair, let me out,” Anna pleaded, struggling violently with her bonds, which would not budge.
“You're just learning this now?” Steve said, as he produced a long string from a pouch at his side.
“Please. I'll go crazy if people are allowed to tickle me. Let me out, I can't do this.” As Anna pleaded, she felt the string wind it's way between her toes. Anna began to laugh. “Hold the laughs for later, I'm not even trying to tickle you.” Steve said, as he wound the string around each of Anna's toes on her right foot.
Anna couldn't help but laugh. Her feet were so ticklish that whatever Steve was doing was tickling her like crazy. Suddenly Anna felt a strong tug on her toes. After tying the string to Anna's toes, Steve had pulled the loose end of the string tight, and tied it to the wooden plank of the stocks. Steve then went to Anna's left foot, and did the same thing.
Anna suddenly realized what he had done. Her toes were pulled back, so she couldn't move her feet an inch. She couldn't even wiggle her toes, her soles were helpless. “Come on Steve. PLEASE. Let me out of here.”
“You know I can't do that,” Steve responded, as he grabbed a ball gag. “These complaints of yours wont do either. You know, back in the day, the criminals weren't allowed to plead for mercy from the townspeople. It was up to the townspeople to decide when the criminals had thoroughly paid for their crimes.”
Anna opened her mouth to plead again when Steve quickly put the gag into her mouth. Anna tried her best to get the gag out, but to no avail. Anna tried to plead some more to Steve, but all Steve herd was muffled gibberish.
Steve pulled out a sign, then thought out loud, “Now, what crime will I say you committed? Ah, this will work.” Steve scribbled some words on the sign and showed it to Anna. It said, “This wench was caught stealing grain from the commons. The punishment for this crime against all must be handed out by all. Tickle her, and show no mercy.”
Anna tried to voice a protest, but it was muffled by the gag. Steve put the sign in the ground, then stood back to admire his work. “Ok, I'll be back at noon when your shift is up.” Steve pulled out a small notepad, then thought out loud, “Now, lets see who is in the stocks at noon.” Steve paged through he notebook then laughed out loud. “Oh, you are in here at noon too. Ah, how about that, you're in here at 4pm as well. Wow! You are in for a fun day.”
Anna desperately tried to pull her feet out of the stocks, and pull her arms down, but there was nothing she could do. She was stuck, and couldn't budge one inch. “Well, I better get going,” Steve said. “I was going to come back at noon, but since you are in the stocks all day, I'll just come back at 8pm when the gates close to let you out.” Anna shook her head, and pleaded as best she could.
“This can't be happening to me” Anna though. “I can't stand being tickled for even a minute. There is no way I can stand being tickled for 12 hours!!!”
“Alright, see you at 8pm" Steve said. Have fun. Relax while you can, gates open in 5 minutes.”
