Scry upon Party B.

Ring ring. Ring ring. There isn't a literal dial tone, but you wait patiently for somebody to answer. Though as you do, you already begin focusing as hard as you can. You can feel it. You can feel them. Even though nobody has picked up, you almost feel like you could reach them, like if you stretched your arms a little bit farther, you would make it. They're so close. The at last, you mind rockets through space like the back of your brain was just hit by an elastic band, and before you know it, you're surrounded by trees and the pleasant sounds of singing birds and scurrying squirrels.

You're a ways above. So far, nobody has noticed you've appeared. It would be difficult for most. It isn't like your body is fully in view. It's more like a faint outline made of light--no more than an apparition, far less visible than even Mela, though she chooses to be seen.

The first thing you notice is Kashura bound to a tree by rope. A bandana has been tied around her eyes as well.

Next to her, Mipa is holding the FONE. "This is Kyle, right? Hello? Kashura is a little tied up right now. When you made this magic thing vibrate, it was down the front of her shorts, so it made her moan really loud. She begged me to answer it."

"Why are you telling him that?!" Kashura shouts--red in the face.

Peony giggles. "She's really good with the kids."

"Oh yeah. We were playing with some little elves a couple minutes ago," Mipa adds. "I think she lost their game."

Meanwhile, you see two neatly folded piles of clothing on a stone nearby. Farther past everybody else, both bodies of Sen-nu bathe in the beautiful, flowing water of a stream opening wide into a bay. Next to the water stands Yaera, and her hands are gently upon the shoulders of a half-naked Anastasia. She's wearing a frilly pair of white and pink panties and a bra to match.

"Your underwear is adorable," whispers the elf in an attempt to relax the nervous cleric.

But all it does is make Anastasia increasingly flustered. "Are w-we sure it's all right to undress here? Moments ago, there were kids, and--"

"Yes. I assure you that it is fine. Would you like help?"

She nods.

The elf's tender hands caress over the redhead's shoulders. She loosens her bra, and allows her breasts to slowly fall free from their prison. Rosy nipples greet the cool air wafting up from the stream.

Then finally, you respond. "Yes. Hello. It's me, Kyle, though it's a little more complicated than that. I don't know how to explain this, but you can probably tell already that my voice isn't coming from the FONE. The thing is... Well, I'm kinda above you right now."

All eyes turn upwards. Well, besides Kashura who is unable.

Anastasia freezes. Then in a panic, she wraps her arms around her bare chest, but just before she can scream, she purses her lips and mutters, "C-Can't shout too loud. People will come running, and then they'll see me."

"Sorry to scare everybody if I did. I just wanted to check in and make sure everybody was doing all right. The other group ended up in a scrap against an angry sand spirit. All good on this end?"

Yaera smiles. "Oh dear me. You are full of surprises. Yes, so far we are all right. We were just about to bathe, and then it should not be much longer before we arrive at our destination."

"Mipa!" Kashura shouts. "You said you were going to untie me, so do it already!"

The goblin, in awe of whatever is happening above her, slips the FONE back down the front of Kashura's shorts and makes her way closer to the others.

Kashura shivers. "You did not just--"

"M'lord~!" Peony raises her arms up to the sky, almost in prayer. "We're so far away, yet it's like you're right here in my arms now. Ooh, I knew you wouldn't be able to wait any longer without seeing me."

Though Sen-nu doesn't comment and simply continues to bathe, she has noticed your presence, and watches curiously from afar.

"I'm glad everyone is doing well. Just call me if anything bad happens," you say. "Enjoy your bath."

"It would be better with you here," Peony says with a giggle.

With the call completed, you once again feel your mind snap back into your body. At the very last, you remain standing when you perform this feat, though it's still extremely disorienting when you return. You don't fall this time though. You shake your head, breathe a few times, and then sigh.

Then just for fun, you put your finger back onto Yaera and give the FONE another ring, knowing where it currently is.

Nobody picks up for a minute or two.

Finally, a very angry voice erupts from the other side.

"Was this on purpose?!" shouts Kashura. Her voice trembles. "Y-You knew, right? That's why you called again?"

"Huh?" You play innocent. "Oh I just wanted to double check you were all right, Kashura. I know you're a super powerful sorceress, but they had you all tied up and I felt bad."

You can tell that after being bound with the FONE buzzing in her shorts for awhile she's been left rather on-edge. Still, it doesn't take much to stroke her ego. "Well, if that's the truth, I can't blame you. Yes I'm fine. Just a little, uhm... Ah, don't worry about it. Unrelated, but this FONE is waterproof, yes? I should wash it. You know, because hands are quite filthy. Hygiene is important."

"Yes. They can get wet."

"Wh-What?! It isn't wet!"

"I said it can get wet. You asked me."

"... Oh right." After a long stretch of dead air, she hangs up.
