Characters - Misaka (And Clair!)
I thought it'd be neat to mix this prompt with an anime as futuristic as it gets! Also, it's Clair's first appearance in Tickletober!
(IM AWARE TODAY IS DAY 8, I FELL BEHIND 😅 8 AND 9 WILL BOTH COME OUT TOMORROW ON DAY 9)
———————————————
Misaka's eyes opened slowly as she woke up.
Misaka: Ugh... Morning already..?
As the electromaster slowly woke, she went to rub the sleepiness from her eyes. Except.. she couldn't move her arms.
Misaka: W-What the..?
She tried to sit up, but couldn't do that either. Confused and suppressing the urge to panic, she now began to take in her surroundings. It was pretty clear she wasn't in her dorm room..
Misaka: W-What the hell?! Where am I?!
Misaka was currently in a dimly lit room. The walls, floor and ceiling all looked to be completely white. As for why she couldn't move.. She was in the center of the room, on what seemed to be a medieval rack. Her body was stretched taut into an X shape on a wooden platform tipped back at an angle, and she was tied down at her wrist and ankles.
Misaka: Whatever's going on here, it isn't funny!
In an attempt to break free, she tugged at the bindings at her wrists and ankles. Once that didn't work, she decided to use her power, attacking the restraints with a shock of electricity. Instead of the attack going where she aimed though, it shot straight up, into a metal pole coming down from the ceiling right above her.
Misaka: Oh com on! That's not fair! Grrr.. Just let me out of here!!
Suddenly the lights turned on, making Misaka wince as she hadn't expected all the lights. She watched a door open in front of her, and a girl wearing a lab coat walked in.
Girl: Good to see you're finally awake, Misaka. I've been waiting for quite some time now.
Misaka: Are you the one who put me here..?
Girl: Yep! The name's Clair. It's nice to meet ya.
Misaka: I wouldn't call kidnapping me nice!
Clair: I wouldn't exactly call it kidnapping though. I just.. knocked you out and took you here.
Misaka: ... So kidnapping.
Clair: Eh, whatever.
Misaka: It's not "whatever!!" Let me out!!
Clair: Sorry, no can do. You're very important for my newest project. Besides, you're not really in a position to make demands or anything. You can't shock me no matter how hard you try.
Misaka: Grr.. damn it. What exactly is this.. project..
Misaka was getting nervous now. Clearly this girl had something bad planned for her..
Clair: It's pretty important. You're going to be the new power source for all of Academy City.
Misaka: WHAT?!
Clair: Mhmm! See that metal pole above your head? That's basically a lightning rod. It'll suck up and electricity you make and send it to a reeeally big battery we have in the other room. The power you make will be sent all throughout the city.
Misaka: What on earth makes you believe I would ever help you with this? You can't torture me into doing it!
She struggles in her bindings again, hoping she could somehow break free before Clair could do anything to her. She has no such luck though. She was stuck here, for whatever Clair had planned for her. Clair grins as she approaches the trapped level five.
Misaka: S-Stay back..! I'm warning you!
Clair: And what if I don't? Gonna give our battery a bit of charge? Hehehe
Clair giggles as she reaches for Misaka's shoes, taking them off, followed by taking her socks away as well.
Misaka: What.. are you doing..?
Clair: Just prepping you for the machine is all. Very cute feet by the way. They should be perfect for this~
Misaka: That doesn't make me feel any better about this.
Clair: Didn't say it was supposed to. Anyway, time to get this started.
Clair then pulled out a tablet and hit some buttons. This resulted in the floor opening up at the foot of the platform Misaka was trapped on. Something then rose up from the newly made hole.
Misaka: W-What the...
There was a tinge of fear in her eyes as Misaka saw what was now at her feet. It was a long feather wheel.. Long enough to reach both of her feet at once, with a hand crank at the end of one side. Her feet quivered slightly as the feathers were just staying still against them.
Clair: Judging by the look on your face, I'd say our intel was correct.
Misaka: Intel? What intel..?
Clair: One, that when you laugh too hard your ability activates. And two..
Clair trails off as she reaches for the hand crank, then looks up at Misaka and smirks.
Clair: That the great and powerful "Railgun" is ticklish. Incredibly so, actually.
Misaka gulped.
Misaka: L-Listen, can't we t-talk about this..?
Clair: Hmmm.. nope. But we can laugh about it. One of us can, at least~
With that, it began. Clair started ever so slowly turning the crank, thus dragging dozens and dozens of feathers along Misaka's trapped soles. Within seconds the poor girl was already laughing. Unfortunately for her, this laughter would only continue. For hours, and hours..
Even when Clair eventually left the room, she assured her prisoner that she'd be replaced by a robotic arm that would turn the crank for her.
There would be no escape from these tickles for Railgun. Not for a long, long time...
