Backyard Bickering

In an attempt to get as far away from the rest of the group as possible, Cassidy decides to head to the backyard to blow off some steam. Of course, she'd much prefer to leave this place altogether, but she knows trying to do that will only make her seem more suspicious. So as a compromise, she's decided to just isolate herself until she can come up with an explanation for what's going on that will satisfy the other women, who in her eyes won't stop breathing down her neck.

"This is ridiculous. Why am I responsible for that stupid singer's mind getting fried? God, I wish I could just find some way to walk out of her without anyone noticing..." Cassidy sighs as she walks through Lalita's garden. "Maybe I could invent some kind of device that makes people completely unaware of the user's existence. Yeah... it could be some kind of wearable tech that completely erases you from both perception and memory. I'm thinking... the 'Ignorance Band!' Okay, maybe the name needs a little more consideration, but I should definitely workshop the idea when I get home."

As Cassidy muses to herself about her latest flash of inspiration, Chelsea, Isa, and S.A.M. all step out the back door of the manor. Chelsea glances around for a moment until she sees Cassidy walking up to the gazebo. The magician then cracks a large smile.

"Aha! There she is! I knew she'd be out here," the spry brunette cheers.

"This was the only logical place remaining considering that Cassidy was not located anywhere on the ground floor of the building, despite the fact that we heard her descend the staircase," S.A.M. points out.

"Just let me have this, S.A.M.," Chelsea replies, her expression falling ever so slightly.

The three women walk through the garden and approach the gazebo. As they do, Cassidy notices them approaching, and a sour look comes across her face.

"What the hell are you doing here? Can't you just leave me alone?" Cassidy asks in annoyance.

"Abigail asked us to keep an eye on you. It could be dangerous to potentially leave the culprit alone to do whatever they want," S.A.M. states bluntly.

"I already told you! I didn't do it!" Cassidy yells.

"I apologize. I did not mean to insinuate anything with my previous statement. I merely meant that no person should be without a group in order to best prevent the culprit from committing any other crimes," S.A.M. reiterates, though her explanation doesn't seem to quell Cassidy's anger.

"Oh, calm down. We want this to get this over with just as much as you do," Isa says in a relaxed tone. She then takes a step towards the inventor, holding out her hands as she does so. "Here, let me just-"

"Oh no, you don't! Don't touch me! I learned my lesson after last time!" Cassidy interrupts as she takes a step back.

"Hold on... Did you fall for the handshake trick?" Chelsea asks as she tries to stifle a chuckle.

"SHUT UP!"

For the next minute or so, Chelsea tries her best (and mostly fails) to stop herself from laughing at Cassidy. Despite claiming to be the smartest person here, she somehow was unable to see through Isa's obvious attempt at entrancing her when the two first met.

"Okay, okay. I'm done," Chelsea says as she finally manages to get it out of her system. "Sorry about that. Now, let's get to our investigation."

"Our investigation? I'm not doing anything with the three of you. I already told you that I'm going to figure this out by myself," Cassidy refuses.

"It would be in your best interest to cooperate," S.A.M. informs Cassidy. "If you continue to refuse to work with everyone else, it will only raise more suspicion against you."

"We're not going to let you go off by yourself, so you might as well help us. It will make everything go faster, which means you can leave sooner," Isa points out.

"When will you get it through your thick skulls that no means no! Whatever. I'm out of here," Cassidy says as she starts to storm off.

Isa and S.A.M. are about to go after her, but Chelsea stops both of them before they can do anything. When they give her a confused look, she simply says "I have an idea. Just watch," then gives a coy wink.

The two wait as Chelsea takes off her top hat and reaches into it. She pretends to feel around for a moment before pulling out a magic wand. The wand is a simple black pole with white ends, yet it still seems a bit more unique than most wands of a similar style. It doesn't look like a cheap plastic toy, but rather a precious tool, though what it's made of isn't entirely clear.

Chelsea spins the wand around in her hand in an act of showmanship before pointing it at Cassidy. She then begins to swing it around while focusing on her target. To an onlooker, it looks like she's just waving a stick randomly, but in reality, each flick of the wrist is precise and intentional. Just as Chelsea is about to finish, Cassidy glances over her shoulder and notices what the magician is doing.

"Don't tell me your seriously trying to- BAWK! Bwak bwak BAWK!"

Cassidy suddenly places her hands on her sides and begins flapping her arms up and down. Her eyes glaze over slightly as she continues to cluck loudly while walking around. Isa and S.A.M. both stare at Cassidy, unsure what to make of the situation unfolding in front of them. Meanwhile, Chelsea just smiles, her legs now pressing together as she feels a rush of arousal.

"Uh... is she...?" Isa trails off, still in disbelief.

"Yep. I don't know why, but for some reason the whole chicken routine always manages to get me going. God, she's only been like that for a few seconds, and my pussy's already gushing," Chelsea admits as she lightly rubs the fabric between her legs. "And now we don't have to worry about her getting into any trouble while we search for clues, which is cool too, I guess."

Isa looks back at Cassidy as the woman kicks up a little dirt as she trots around the garden. She seems completely out of it, with no sign of knowing about her transformation. In her mind, it's as if she's always been a chicken. Isa has seen that unfocused look in other people's eyes enough times to know that Cassidy probably wouldn't remember being in this state if she was snapped out of it.

"As amusing as this is, we can't leave her like this. We're supposed to be undoing Noelle's mind control, not mind controlling more people," Isa reminds Chelsea.

"Don't worry. The spell only lasts a few minutes. Enough for us to look around the area without having to constantly make sure that Cassidy isn't up to anything," Chelsea retorts.

"I don't know... S.A.M., what do you think?"

"I think it would be much better if she wasn't wearing her clothing."

Isa and Chelsea both look at S.A.M. in surprise. This is the first time either have heard the robot express an opinion like that. And for that opinion to be so... sexual charge definitely caught their attention. S.A.M. glances over a moment later and notices the two ladies staring at her.

"What? I merely meant that chickens do not wear clothing, and as such, it would make more sense to remove them if she were going to be turned into one," S.A.M. clarifies, though Isa and Chelsea doubt if that claim was truly made out of a desire for biological accuracy. Despite that, Chelsea still grins.

"I like the way you think," she says as she raises her wand back up.

A few more swings and a magic word or two later, and Cassidy's clothes disappear right off of her body. The woman-turned-chicken doesn't seem to notice that her tattooed tits and ass are now out for everyone to see. Instead, she just continues on her little trek around the backyard in her new animalistic state of mind.

"And voila!" Chelsea adds before placing the ends of her magic wands between her hands. She then pushes her hands together, the wand having completely vanished once she opens them back up.

"Intriguing. How were you able to perform such tricks?" S.A.M. asks, referring to both the slight of hand and the actual magic spells.

"Ah, ah, ah. You know the rule about magicians. Trade secret," Chelsea responds, putting a finger over her lips for added emphasis.

"I didn't even know you had a magic wand like that," Isa mentions.

"Of course. I carry it with me everywhere I go. It's nice to be able to pop it out whenever and wherever you might want to cast a spell that requires a little more focus. It also makes a decent dildo in a pinch, but don't tell anyone I told you that. Now come on, let's look around for anything that can help us with the case. Since we're out here in the backyard, it wouldn't hurt to start our search here."

The three women all agree and begin their investigation. As they look around, they all give the occasional glance at Cassidy, enjoying the sight of her clucking like a chicken as her big tits swing around with each flap of her arms. Chelsea even considers taking a moment to touch herself, but decides it can wait until later. Instead, she walks closer to the house, where something catches her eye. Out of curiosity, she goes over to a flowerbed running along the edge of the building.

"Hey, guys! I think I found something!" Chelsea calls out.

Isa and S.A.M. quickly make their way over to Chelsea's side. Once they arrive, they both see what she was referring to: a bunch of broken glass scattered between two bushes.

"Is that glass?" Isa asks.

"It appears to be. And quite a large amount of it too," S.A.M. notes.

"Weird. Any ideas where it came from or why it's out here?" Chelsea asks the others, but they both just shrug. "Yeah, I've got nothing either. I'm not even sure what it is."

"Well, a lot of the pieces are curved, so it can't be a window. Plus, we probably would have noticed if one of the windows in Lalita's house was broken," Isa says.

"Perhaps I could attempt to put the pieces back together and reconstruct the object," S.A.M. suggests.

"Could you S.A.M.? That would be great!" Chelsea replies happily.

"It will take some time though. As previously mentioned, there are a lot of pieces, and it looks some are smaller than others."

"If it could potentially help Noelle, then it's worth a shot."

With that, the group decides to do their best to gather up all of the glass and bring it inside for S.A.M. to try and reassemble. It takes about a minute, but soon, they have them all together. Chelsea even pulls out a small handkerchief to carry the pieces in to ensure they don't drop any. Just as the three are about to go back inside, they are suddenly caught off guard by a loud shout.

"WHAT THE FUCK?! WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES?!"

Chelsea, Isa, and S.A.M. all turn to see Cassidy standing in the middle of the garden, still completely naked, but now covering her boobs and pussy with her hands. The look on her face is a mix of the anger she had before being transformed along with some clear self-consciousness at her indecent exposure.

"Oops. I just realized that the disappear clothes spell might not wear off like the chicken one does..." Chelsea remarks as her face grows slightly rosy from embarrassment.
