History PlayingWith / BoundAndGagged

** Alice is still able to escape or call for help because full-body ropes and a cloth gag aren't very effective restraints.

** Alice, seeing that Bob is about to tie her up, tries to fight him, probably [[KnifeNut using that exact same knife]].

** Bob is trying to understand why his captive [[TooKinkyToTorture is moaning with pleasure and loudly and enthusiasticly asking for more rope]].

** When Alice is freed, the first thing she did was to complain that her gag ''stinks'' before anything else.

* '''Played For Laughs:''' Bob says: "What, you're expecting me to tie you up? That's, that's kind of kinky. I'm not into kind of thing. I mean, it's all right if you are, but...yeah. I have an EvilPlan to get back to." He just locks her in a room instead.

** Alice [[KillTheCutie dies horribly]] because Bob tied the ropes too tight and cut off major circulation, or she has a medical condition, or he [[WhatHappenedtotheMouse just forgot about her]] for a couple of weeks...

** Alternatively, instead of chains is [[Mummywrap wrapped in mummy fashion]] and/or somehow in [[AllWebbedUp silk]].

** Bob decides he can't keep Alice confined, so he simply [[StuffedInTheFridge kills her]].

** Alice is restrained long enough for Bob to complete his plan, at which point he comes back and unties her.

* '''Double Subverted''': Bob is about to tie up Alice, but brings her to a room to lock her in instead. Then he decides he doesn't want her trying to find a way to escape the locked room, so he binds and gags her within the locked room.

** Alternatively, Bob frisks Alice, finds BDSM gear on her, and secures her with it. Since he's never seen BDSM gear before in his life, let alone used it, he has no idea what he's doing, so Alice has to walk him through it. She still lets him bind her.

** Bob is trying to understand why his captive [[TooKinkyToTorture is moaning with pleasure and is loudly and enthusiasticly asking for more rope]].

** Alice is restrained long enough for Bob to complete his master plan, at which point he comes back and unties her. ...And then fits her with an armbinder and ball gag (from a box in the back of her own closet), taking her to his evil lair because she's seen his face. He later unties her. Then ties her up again. Because he likes messing with her mind.

** "What, you're expecting me to tie you up? That's, that's kind of kinky. I'm not into kind of thing. I mean, it's all right if you are, but...yeah. I have a EvilPlan to get back to." He just locks her in a room instead.

* '''Exaggerated''': Bob winds tons and tons of rope around Alice's hands, torso, feet, knees, etc., every which way, ties many knots, then gags her with a lot of cloth and multiple scarves.

** Alice is tied up in far more rope than you need to hold a human still, and even has chains holding her to the floor. She "mmmphs" her displeasure loudly and with a tone of annoyance.

** Bob decides he can't keep Alice confined, so he simply kills her.

* '''Exaggerated''': Bob winds tons and tons of rope around Alice's hands, torso, feet, knees, etc., every which way, ties many knots, then gags her with multiple scarves and cloths. [[FetishFuel Alice secretly likes it. So does Bob.]]

** Alice [[KillTheCutie dies horribly]] because Bob tied the ropes too tight and cut off major circulation, or she has a medical condition, or he [[WhatHappenedtotheMouse just forgot about her]] [[NightmareFuel for a couple of weeks]]...

* '''Downplayed:''': Alice's hands are tied behind her back while Bob holds his hand over her mouth.

* '''Zig Zagged''':
** Bob starts to tie her up tight, but she complains about her wrists hurting, so he loosens it a bit, but then she slips out and tries to shank him in return. Bob tries other progressively absurd tie-up-apparati that are effective yet comfortable, and Alice proceeds to worm her way out of each one. Eventually, he just ties her up as tightly as he should have in the first place and tells her to deal with it. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking And remembers the gag this time]].

** Bob rambles on and on about how difficult this is for him as he restrains Alice, constantly apologizing, and messing things up as he fumbled around. Alice is forced to give him directions on how to properly restrain her or have this go on for hours. Through her gag. And Bob understands her. She's very happy once he's finally done, but Bob comes back when he's not busy and continues to have conversations with a gagged Alice, fully understanding her mmphs and realizing that she's trying to curse at him when she angrily grunts.

* '''Reconstruction''':
