Keep searching.

Now with part of Alice over your shoulder, and both Luna and Ariusia taking up the rear, your party has grown. You just need to find the rest. You slip back through the same passageway which led in, and continue the way Meti supposedly came. This time, however, you dart a few crevices down and to the left--one that would be easy to miss, especially with fewer mushrooms growing this direction. Even the shortest of your party is **** to squat down to fit through, though you all make it safely to the other side, where to your relief, it widens again.

As you snake through the claustrophobic zigzag, your ear is occasionally tickled again and again by heated breaths by a woman who doesn't even need to breathe. She's doing her best to hide her sounds, though her only hand is being used as a strap over your shoulder. Someone really is teasing her parts, whoever they may be, and the thrill seems to be getting to her just as much as the physical stimulation. Knowing she can't do anything about it drives her wild. You can tell, as **** as she is not to show it. "Mm... Ooh," she hums with embarrassed delight. "N-Not there."

"Are you sure you're all right?" you ask.

"Yes--Aahh~!" she cries. "Tongue!"

Everyone turns to look at her. She flushes blue.

"Tongue?" Eva asks. "Did you see a mimic or something?"

Alice does her best to compose herself. "N-No. Sorry. I thought I saw something, but my ocular systems must be malfunctioning."

"Your huh?" Niki mutters.

You carefully make your way around the next corner, feeling as if something may be ahead. You peek, and from what you can tell, it isn't a large opening, but it is a dead end. There are far more coloured mushrooms here than the path than the path you've followed. It causes the wet stone to glisten like prismatic glass--a chamber flooded with rainbow colour--where a single figure seems to rest in the center. Fang is there, as bare as the day she was born, though isn't technically alone, as Alice's left arm rests on the ground not far away, and in her grasp is the girl's entire bottom half.

"I'm not surprised," you comment under your breath. "Hey, Fang. Looks like you found the rest of her."

"It worked!" Fang leaps to her feet, uncaring about her wardrobe, or lack thereof.

"What worked?" asks Ariusia.

"My brilliant plan," she replies. "See, I woke up here not long ago, and seeing just parts of Alice did give me a scare at first until I realized she was definitely all right. It's Alice after all, but also, she's squirm all around when I touched her. Anyway, I saw how many paths were out there, so I decided I'd say here for a bit and just have some fun. That way, if I heard moaning, all of the sudden, I could follow it. Either that, or she'd find her way here. Smart, huh?"

"But you have her legs," you say. "How could she get to you?"

"I did think about that. So if nothing happened after awhile, I was gonna do this." She grabs the bottom half and heaves it up by the hips, wrapping it around her neck like a scarf. "Like a radar, I was gonna walk around and do this until I heard something." She then buries her face in Alice's groin and absolutely devours her for a moment.

Alice screams in pleasure and surprise. "Aaaahhh~! G-Give my legs b-back!"

Fang pulls her lips away and cackles. "That definitely would have worked," she says, hoisting the body into your arms. "But alas, it didn't come to that. So it's good to see everyone's all right, huh?"

You carefully slot Alice's torso into her hips, bringing her nearly back to full. "So far. We've almost got the group back together."

Her pink tail lifts as she bends over away from you, still entirely unaffected that she's nude. She lifts Alice's missing arm into her grip and turns back. "You know, we might be trapped in some mysterious cave system under the ocean or something, but at least if I die, I'll die happy seeing the most beautiful people in my entire life."

"Don't say weird things! We aren't gonna die," Eva snaps. "Now--Woah, look out!"

Fang turns to see a skeleton burst from some rubble in the wall. It looks in most ways like a fish, though it has arms and legs like a short, stout man. It has no trident, though it does sprint at Fang full-****. The moment the cat turns to face the threat, the arm she's holding shifts and transformed into an arcane cannon. She looks down, her brow raises, and without further hesitation, she turns it up at the skeletal beast. The weapon charges and then fires, blowing her foe to bits.

"Oh ho ho, that's so awesome," Fang says. "Thanks, Alice."

The golem-girl nods. "It is fine." And then the arm reverts back once more.

After Alice is reassembled, Amara steps forward. She brings up her arms, and casts the same Midnight Gown spell twice--first on Alice, and next on Fang, somewhat garbing their bodies in something at least better than nothing at all. With all this magic, the elf certainly has pink in her cheeks, but she's strong enough to keep pushing forward. Perhaps she wishes she was the one with garments dissolved--namely the choker.

You squeeze the handle of your rapier. The blade sparks with a vibrant pink light. "Let's keep moving. This is taking way too long, and I'm starting to get angry we were put through this to begin with. Whether Gwyn intended this to happen or not, it's still her fault to some degree. So let's find the rest of our friends and tell her how we feel."

"Oh wow," Eva comments. "You don't even have Lauo right now, but I can hardly tell the difference."

"Well of course. It doesn't matter what weapon m'lord has," Peony says.

"The sword was inside of him all along," says Niki with a hand on her chest. "What a beautiful story."

"So we need to find both Thomas and Vodrani," Luna speaks up. "And then the other three, if they didn't leave us here to die on purpose."

"There's a crack ahead," you say, peering forwards and then down. If it wasn't for the cascade of bioluminescence lighting up the passage like a spotlight, it would likely be hard to spot even for somebody with enhanced vision in the dark. "There might be another way to get there, but my gut is telling me this will bring us to at least one of those we're seeking. Come on. I'll lead the way. We'll have to crawl, so be careful."

"I'll crawl behind you!" Eva volunteers excitedly.

She's more than happy to follow a bent-over Kyle through the tunnel despite the lights fading swiftly, and darkness taking over. One by one, everybody makes their way through, and thankfully, it isn't a long way before you're able to stand up again.
