Stella didn’t really see how the game worked, but as long as it kept spitting out tickets like this she was happy to play. It wasn’t like they just handed out the usual crappy plastic junk here–collect enough tickets, and you could get a brand new Switch or an iPod. So if there was a machine that was broken, well… Stella felt a little bit guilty about standing next to it and collecting the occasional string of tickets that slid out of the prize slot. But she was pretty sure playing a little ‘Breath of the Wild’ would console her.

After a while, she started to get the feeling that she could actually influence the seemingly random intervals of its prize dispersal. The screen kept flashing random lights, and Stella found that if she stared at one little pink glow in particular as it chased its way around the screen, she could get the machine to spit out tickets a little more often. Not too many, but Stella wasn’t worried about time. The machine was tucked into a little out-of-the-way corner of the arcade, well out of view of anyone, and she didn’t have anywhere she needed to be. The last thing she was worried about was being interrupted.

And she was getting better at it, too. She’d gotten to the point where her eyes automatically followed the little pink light wherever it went, without even needing to think about it. Up, down, left, right, around and around.. there didn’t seem to be any kind of pattern to it, but the longer Stella watched, the easier it was to just keep her attention perfectly centered on the pink dot and follow it with her stare like her gaze was magnetized to it. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see the little pile of tickets growing, but Stella understood instinctively that looking away would be a mistake now.

It was probably superstitious of her, but Stella started to feel like the machine was watching her, dispensing tickets faster and faster as she relaxed more and more. Every time her breathing slowed, she heard the little whir of the machine, spitting out a few extra slips of cardboard. Every time her shoulders slumped a little, or her body swayed in slow, peaceful relaxation, the machine seemed to reward her a little bit more. It seemed a little strange, a little… Stella realized she hadn’t blinked in almost two full minutes. She didn’t know what to do with that realization, though, and the pink dot tugged her thoughts back to attention soon enough.

The pile of tickets kept getting larger, but Stella had stopped even seeing it. She understood now that the key to getting the tickets was to forget about the tickets. The more she forgot about everything except staring into the lights, the more the machine rewarded her, and Stella wanted her reward. She practically ached for it now; the swirling colors on the display seemed to tease her body into a pleasant, peaceful throb of arousal that melted her thoughts down into a relaxed, drowsy bliss. She stood completely still, her jaw slack, her face expressionless. The slow hazy euphoria that stole over her mind didn’t show at all. It simply coaxed its way into her sleepy thoughts and numbed her into passive pleasure.

When the screen began moving, slowly recessing into the wall, Stella didn’t need to think for even a moment before following. She simply took one slow, lazy step after another, her body moving automatically to keep the pink dot in view, leaving the tickets behind right along with everything else. When the wall slid shut behind her, leaving her in total darkness, Stella only noticed because it made it easier to follow the lights and sink deeper. She sagged gratefully into the comfortable chair that extended up from the floor, her pussy pressing against the specially-molded contours of the seat with an eager arousal. This was her reward, better than any iPod or Switch. Stella had a ticket to perfect obedience now, and she wanted nothing more than to redeem it.

By the time the voice began to program her, all Stella could do was nod along.
