Kairi Meets Arthur

After the Party, Kairi found a ticket in her purse that she did not remember being given. It was for a magic show by a magician styling themself Arthur the Archmage. A quick check of her diary told her that she had a free evening that matched the date on the ticket, so she transferred the magic show to her appointments.

As the day for the show approached, she wondered if she would have the chance to volunteer and have something strange and good feeling happen to her. She remembered with a tinge of embarrassment being penetrated by a light sabre in full view of the audience and the orgasm that followed. She also remembered the after effects that made her feeling warm all night, until she woke the next morning. Was this the kind of thing she wanted to do again? She felt that another adventure of a similar nature would be good thing to have.

The question of what to wear filled several hours of her time, did she dress normal, but sexy, or did she break out a costume to enhance her chances of being selected as a volunteer. She decided that whoever had planted the ticket in her purse had a plan and going the costume route felt like trying too hard. Selecting a dress became the focus, until she found an account of one of Arthur's previous shows from which it became clear that Arthur sometimes supplied bikinis for female volunteers to change into, so a simple mid thigh black dress was the thing and the choice of underwear became more important. The adventurous streak that had been triggered by her last encounter with magic soon decided that she would not wear a bra; somewhere at the back of her mind she rationalised that her small bust did not require it and there was less to lose if Arthur was the kind of magician who was careless with a volunteer's clothes

----------

Kairi arrived early at the Maiden's Theatre, because she felt she wanted a calming drink before the show. While she was in the bar a man that looked slightly familiar approached her. "You found the ticket. Good! How do you feel about volunteering?"

"I came with the idea that I would volunteer if possible. By the way, my name is ..."

She did not got say her name because he put a finger to her lips. "It's good to have someone enthusiastic to take part, but we'll save your name for when you get on stage." Kairi was briefly distracted by a shout from the other end of the bar and when she looked the man was gone.

She decided that she needed a second drink to not be too excited at the prospect of being called upon to volunteer and calm the nerves at not having any clue about what she might be asked to do.

Act 1 came and went, during which some volunteers were used, but she had put up her hand in case now was the time. She had the mysterious feeling that her part would be in the second act. During the interval, she had a soft drink, so that she remained sober enough to enjoy whatever might happen to her, but the pre-show alcohol made her feel a bit reckless.

She also took the chance to have a few words with the woman who had been the main subject of the hypnosis section of the show, who had been convinced with the help of a head-twister illusion that her head was on backwards and had taken the chance to go behind the screen on stage to turn her dress to face the 'proper way'. This resulted in her dress being on backwards, and because it was a backless dress, her ample bosom was on show. She seemed oblivious to the fact that her breasts were on show, but Kairi also noted that people trying to take pictures with their phones were not having much luck; being jostled at the critical moment of pressing the button, people suddenly being in the way and in one case the phone fell from the would-be photographer's hand and landed in a glass of beer.

----------

About half way through the second act the call came for an audience volunteer. Kairi was not surprised to be selected and hurried down the aisle and up the steps onto the stage.

After the initial greeting, Arthur asked her name.

"I'm Kairi."

"Not a name I've ever heard before, but pretty with an exotic something to it. Have we met before today?"

"I don't think so, but you did strike me as a little bit familiar when you first came on stage, so maybe I forgot." Kairi had noted the wording about not having met before today and did not mention the fleeting conversation they had had in the bar earlier.

"I live locally, so perhaps we have seen each other in the supermarket or something like that. The important thing is that you don't know what I have in store for you."

"I guess. Maybe it was a little foolhardy to volunteer without knowing what you had planned. I hope I don't regret this. So what do you have planned?"

"That would be telling, but put your mind at ease; you won't come to any harm. I'll go and get the box and the other bits and pieces while you change for your starring part in the illusion."

"What am I changing into? And where?" Kairi asked.

"You can change behind the screen back there; no-one will see you. You'll need to take off your dress, because it might get damaged if you keep it on, but you can put on the blue bikini that is hung on the corner of the screen, or you can do it in you underwear, so long as it is only bra and panties, because anything else might also come to harm. And as is traditional, barefoot too."

Kairi went behind the screen, but already had her hand to the hem before she disappeared from view. Behind the screen she finished skinning the dress from her body and kicked off her shoes.

She reached round the end of the screen to retrieve the bikini, which she quickly realised was sized for wearing by bustier volunteers.

The alcohol she had consumed teamed up with her adventurousness to suggest that if she went through with this topless, there was a greater chance of this turning into something erotically exciting and showing her small bust would be a small price to pay; it was not as if hers would be the only tits the audience had seen this evening.

She emerged in only her panties and, for the appearance of modesty, an arm draped loosely across her breasts.

Arthur looked a little surprised to have his volunteer waiting for him when he returned with a tall cabinet pushed with one hand and a trolley of items pulled with the other.

He quickly notice that Kairi was topless. "You could wear the bikini," he suggested indicating the bikini that still hung on the screen.

"I tried it; it didn't fit." Some of the audience laughed at this. "Besides it's so not my colour." Which was obviously a lie, because the G-string that sparkled on her crotch was about three shades paler than the displayed bikini.

Arthur looked to be on the verge of offering to make some form of improvised modesty cover for Kairi, but then he shrugged. "If you're fine as you are, shall we carry on?"

"Yes, let's."

"This is the cabinet that I shall have you step into in a moment, but first I need to show it to the audience."

The cabinet was marginally taller than Kairi and comprised four sections stacked on top of one another. Its emptiness was obvious through the square holes in the front and back of each section. Despite there being nothing more to see, Arthur turned the cabinet which revealed nothing more except the lack of doors, only a solid back with holes to match those in the fronts. With the turn completed, Arthur locked the wheels and flipped the catches holding the doors closed. Some further adjustment had the doors open to show what little of the interior that had not already been apparent.

Kairi peered inside and discovered something that she needed to comment on. "Are those shackles on the sides of the bottom two sections?"

"Yes, but don't think of them as bondage devices, but more like a safety belt, to keep you safe for if the worst happens."

The audience saw that red-headed volunteer was probably happier with the idea of bondage, than the idea that there was a worst that could happen that required her attachment inside the cabinet.

"I guess you want me to get into the cabinet now."

"Well, nothing much is going to happen until you do. It's easy; step in and turn to face the audience. And don't look so worried!"

"I might be less worried if I knew what was going to happen." Kairi stepped into the box, turned to the audience, then looked down as she spread her ankles sufficiently to make applying the shackles a simple task.

The magician bent down and put the ankle-cuffs around the bases of Kairi's pale shins.

"So, what are these shackles at about hip-level for?" asked Kairi, with a mock innocence in her tone. She shuffled a little to find as comfortable stance as the ankle shackles would allow.

"Those are for your wrists."

"Oh, well," she sighed and revealed her breasts to the audience. The magician gave an appreciative nod and set about preventing Kairi's hands from re-covering her breasts by shackling them to the sides of the cabinet beside her hips.

Arthur stepped away from the cabinet allowing the audience a better view of Kairi's predicament and her body.

"Hey, aren't you going to shut the doors? Not that that would hide much."

"Not until I have fitted the final restraint. It wasn't already installed, because it would have been in the way." From the trolley he picked up a giant half-hand-cuff with an open padlock dangling on the end of the short chain. He went behind the cabinet and fed the shackle around Kairi's neck and the audience heard it clicking closed via Arthur's microphone; there was another click as the padlock snapped shut, linking the neck-cuff's chain to the rear of the cabinet.

"I don't see what that brings to the party," said Kairi. "I don't feel any less able to escape."

"Like I said, it's not about keeping you there, it's about keep you safe while you're there."

Arthur picked up a some square metal tubes, which he briefly showed to the audience, then he began to walk to the corner of the stage with them.

"Where are you going? You can't just leave me here without a word of explanation!"

"I won't be long. I'm going to get a few audience members to inspect these thin steel tubes. If you get bored, you could test your bonds to see how secure they are."

While the magician had a some members of the front row tapping and looking through the tubes, Kairi made a show of tugging at the attachments to the cabinet and jiggling her small breasts.

Soon, Arthur returned and placed the tubes upright in a row, before finally closing the cabinet doors. Kairi had been right,they did not hide much.

"Ok, Kairi, I have four steel tubes here, which one would you prefer to be used for the first section of this illusion."

"I don't know. I guess I'll pick a number at random from 1 to 4. Ok, Three."

"Number three it is," said the magician picking up the third tube and placing it next to the cabinet. Arthur then crossed to the trolley and picked up a rod with a silvery ribbons hanging from it. He hooked the shimmery curtain to the front of the cabinet over the lowest hole. With Kairi's lower legs obscure by the silvery ribbons, Arthur picked up the tube and went to the rear of the cabinet.

Kairi first heard some bumps as the tube was located in the lowest of the rear opening of the cabinet, then felt a metal edge being pressed against rear of her calf. This lasted for about a second when the sensation transformed into a tingle from just below her knee to her ankle.

"Something's happened. I can feel it."

The magician gave the audience a knowing look and reached round the cabinet to lift away the silvery curtain that had covered the lowest hole in the front of the cabinet. The audience could see the backdrop through the bottom section of the cabinet, unimpeded by the presence of Kairi's legs.

Arthur leant down further and peered at the audience through where Kairi's lower legs should be. He waved his arm through the apparently empty space. Kairi giggled as if he had tickled the back of her calves unexpectedly, which from her point of view he had.

Arthur replaced the obscuring cover and pulled the tube back out of the cabinet. Kairi felt her legs return to normal.

The magician retrieved the curtain and showed that Kairi's lower legs were now back. He moved the curtain to the next section up and pushed the tube into the rear of that section. This time Kairi felt the edge against her buttocks before her thighs and crotch began to tingle pleasantly.

The curtain was removed, showing that Kairi's upper legs were no longer there. When Arthur waved his arm through where Kairi's legs should have been, she felt a tickling in her thigh's which seemed particularly intense on her inner thighs; she wished that whatever was happening would happen an inch or two higher.

The process was reversed and repeated in the next section up. Kairi felt her entire chest tingle once the hard metal had pressed into the tops of her shoulder blades. She also enjoyed the tingling sensations which became intense, particularly on the undersides of her breasts, when Arthur waved his hand through that section of the cabinet. Before she could get too excited, the process was reversed.

"This will probably feel a bit weird," warned Arthur as he moved the curtain from in front of Kairi's breasts and hung it over the hole that afforded Kairi her limited view out of the cabinet.

Kairi felt the edge of the metal tube touch the back of her neck then her vision faded from the silvery ribbons in front of her face into a grey nothingness, followed by some strange tingling ideas running through her head. Before she could latch onto any of these strange thoughts, she was seeing the silvery ribbon curtain again and could hear the crowd cheering. The curtain was whisked away from the sight and she was again looking out into the darkened auditorium.

"How was that?" asked Arthur, giving Kairi the impression that as long as she did not scream to be let out of the cabinet, whatever the magician had planned next was coming and it did not matter much what she said.

"Not bad," she answered. Then she continued, "I felt some odd sensations; some of which would have been very enjoyable if they had been better aimed."

This remark seemed to puzzle Arthur. "So, your fine with carrying on?"

"Well, yes; if only to save everyone the trouble of you finding another volunteer."

From the audience several women yelled out that they would volunteer. This gave Kairi some confidence that she had been right to volunteer. It could not be anything terrible happening to her, if there were others wanted to take her place, even without knowing that it felt pleasant. She also felt a little frustrated that the other sensations had missed the mark she had hoped they would hit; was Arthur teasing her?

"I think you had better get on with it before they storm the stage to take my place."

"The first part of this illusion I only used one tube. This time I'm going to use all four tubes."

"I get it," said Kairi. "But won't that be like whatever you did with the one tube, but with a tube per section?"

"Just you want and see! Except that you can't see because you are inside the cabinet. But I'm sure some kind person will let you know what happened." Arthur picked up the tube that he had been using and inserted it into the rear of the hip section of the cabinet once the curtain was in place.

The now familiar tingle took over Kairi's hips and thighs. The curtain was removed to show the gap where her upper legs had been. Arthur waved a hand through the tube inducing pleasant tickles in Kairi's thighs.

"Could you do that a bit higher?" she asked, remembering the previous time when the pleasant sensations had been so tantalisingly close to her crotch. The audience saw the magician raise his hand to wave it through the upper half of the tube and broadening of Kairi's smile in response. Kairi was beginning to feel the stimulation, when Arthur withdrew his hand and went to collect one of the other tubes.

The new tube Arthur slid into the front of the hip section inside the tube that was already there.

"Now for the next bit," the magician announced as he hefted another tube that he located in the rear of the head section of the cabinet. "Oops! almost forgot," he said as balanced the tube in place and held the curtain in front of the opening in the head section. In an awkward manoeuvre he held the curtain in place and pulled the tube into the top section of the box, lowering the curtain.

Kairi had felt it before, but the audience were amazed at the speed with which Kairi's head disappeared with no apparent motion of her pert breasts. While they roared their approval, Arthur picked up the final tube and slid it into place inside the tube he had just inserted. He bowed indicating the cabinet, with its four square openings; the lowest showing a pale pair of shackled lower legs, the next up being empty, followed by a pair of breasts and then another empty space.

The magician pulled out the two outer tubes from the rear, making it clear which section each had occupied by placing the hip level tube on the right and the head level tube on the left. He picked up the tube from the right and brought it level with the head section. With a quick shove, he pushed the tube in the rear, pushing the tube already in the section part way out. Arthur continued that manoeuvre, so that he could catch the tube being pushed out, while he pushed the other tube in.

The procedure was repeat pushing the tube that had been placed on the left into the hips section while catching the tube it pushed out. The curtain got hung in front of the head section and the tube pulled out of the back. When the magician removed the curtain of silvery ribbons what showed was a pair thighs joining behind a pale blue sparkly g-string. He did a deliberate double take to emphasize to the audience how surprised they should be to see a Kairi's crotch above her chest.

Kairi felt that the magic she experienced lasted longer than before. Kairi could once again see the silvery curtain come back from the greyness that she had been seeing. A few moments later the silvery curtain was lifted away. Kairi was immediately aware that things were not as she felt they should be, especially when the stage seemed a lot closer than it had before.

"What's happened now?" Kairi asked as the audience applauded her messed up state; from the bottom, her feet and lower legs, then her perplexed face, above that her chest, topped by her thighs and crotch.

"I'm sure you'll find people willing to explain, once we're finished," said the magician. To the audience he said, "I'm sure that a lot of you want to get a closer look at Kairi's predicament. The problem is that isn't really enough space around the cabinet for you all to get a good look. So, you sir, in the check shirt, I could do with some help."

The man referred to stood and came to the stage. Where Arthur instructed him to inserted two blades between each section of the cabinet, while he fetched something from back stage. He was also told not to worry about cutting Kairi, because she was already in four seperated sections.

The man followed the magician's instructions and was dismissed back to the audience when Arthur returned with four square tables each with a eighteen inch spike in the centre. He arranged these in a row near the front of the stage and about four feet apart.

"Now, to display your sections, young lady," said Arthur as he lifted the top section of the cabinet.

"What about those spikes? Won't they be in the way?"

"You see, I've had complaints; some from audience members, that it is not light enough inside the boxes to get a good look at the volunteer's situation, and one, from a volunteer, that she did not feel safe with her parts on a table with nothing to prevent them being knocked onto the floor. So, I came up with this idea. The things you called spikes and actually lights and they are there to illuminate your situation and anchor you for your safety."

By this time, Arthur was holding Kairi's upper legs over one of the spikes, trying to line up the tip of the spike with a hole in the centre of the blade that now formed the base of that section. The spike suddenly became a stick of light, with a rainbow sequence running up it. Kairi, felt the glass of the spike touch her inner thighs before it nudged aside her g-string and entered her; it was already warm from the electronics inside the glass tube that controlled the pulsing glow.

The expression on Kairi's face showed the initial surprise of having an illuminated glass spike enter her, but also moments later revealed that this was not as uncomfortable as she had started out assuming it would be.

The magician unstacked the rest of Kairi and placed the parts on the tables with the spikes, now lit, going through the centres of the boxes. She could feel them as a tightness in the centre of her chest, warm glass between her calves, a tightness in the throat and out of the top of her head, as well as warm glass between her thighs that invaded her most intimate of spaces.

Arthur invited those interested to come on stage and inspect Kairi in her predicament and assured his volunteer that the theatre ushers were on hand to prevent anybody taking too many liberties.

The next minutes were a blur to Kairi. She talked to several people about what was like to be in her dizzying condition, which part way through became more dizzying, when someone discovered that the boxes could be rotated on the lights that spiked Kairi's parts. Another person commented how much easier it was to see that the contents of the boxes were the real parts of a person, even if her chest and head were lit from the inside so that eyes glowed brightly and her breasts had a softer glow.

Arthur returned and grabbed the last person left on the stage to help re-stack the cabinet and Kairi in the correct order; a relatively easy task with Kairi's parts on display. This person was also asked to verify that what was left inside the cabinet once Arthur had yanked the dividing blades free was a one complete person. She was then dismissed to the audience.

"Are you going to let me out now?" Kairi asked as she tugged at the shackles on her wrists.

"In a minute, just one last thing to do."

Arthur returned from the trolley with the curtain of silvery ribbons, which he hung over the lowest opening in the cabinet. He followed this up by pushing a tube through that section and removing the curtain. He transferred the curtain up a section and pulled out the tube. With the tube still in hand, the magician opened the bottom door of the cabinet to show that it was empty except for the shackles that had restrained Kairi's feet. While this was occurring Kairi felt the tingly feeling from before, but when the tube was withdrawn, she could feel her feet again, but they were not standing on the wood at the base of cabinet, which was slightly warm from her having been stood there for a while, but a hard cool surface.

The magician repeated his actions with the next section. He opened the hip level section revealing  the bottom half of the cabinet no longer contained the lower half of Kairi, whose upper half filled the upper half of the cabinet. Kairi could feel that wherever her lower half was, it was cooler there and there was a vertical surface close by on both sides.

Kairi's chest quickly followed by the same method. Then she felt the edge of the tube against the back of her neck and could only see grey. A short time later she could see an off-white surface. looking round she discovered that she was in a lavatory cubicle, with a note stuck to the wall with a piece of sticky tape that said, "Please return to the auditorium."

She considered lingering to deal with the unsatisfied sexual feelings, but the unwritten code of the magical volunteer, told her that she should follow the magician's instructions as best she could. Another part of her mind speculated about how embarrassing it would be if Arthur called her back, by whatever means he had sent her here, with her hand inside her G-string.

She slid the door bolt and exited into the theatre's toilets and made her way back to the auditorium, where Arthur seemed to be filling the time by unstacking the cabinet and collecting the other props he had used. As she entered, the magician shouted, "There she is!" and a spotlight found her letting everyone see that she was still in the same barely dressed condition. "Do you want to come and collect your dress?"

Kairi blushed to something approaching the red of her dyed hair. She wanted the magic to continue, but the stimulation on stage that had not let her reach a climax as well as the short dash through the cool atrium had sobered her up and put an end to her adventurous spirit. With all those people eyeing her from up close, she wanted to be clothed again; she did not want to go back up on the stage, even if they had already seen most of what there was to see.

Seeing Kairi's hesitancy, Arthur went back to the screen and handed the dress down to her when she got to the front. Kairi was glad to dive back into her dress and left the finer details of getting it to sit right until she had re-found her seat.

----------

After the show, Kairi found her way backstage and encountered Arthur. "Thank you, Kairi, for helping out. You did a great job. I hope you enjoyed it as much as the rest of the audience seemed to. Maybe, I could ask you to volunteer again some time?"

"Um, yeah, sure, well..." Kairi replied, unsure whether the orgasmless excitement exceeded her embarrassment afterwards. "It was a nice trick and felt pleasant enough, but I had hoped that it would be as exciting as my experience at that 'wild magic party' do." She tried to pitch her voice so that the word 'exciting', implied 'orgasm inducing' rather than 'adrenaline fuelling'.

"I'm sorry if you expected more, but you have to understand that even with these performances being age-restricted, this is as far as the theatre allows me to go." It seemed from Arthur's tone that the theatre might not be fully aware of quite how far he was going.

"If you are feeling adventurous, I can pass your name on to some of my fellow magicians would be less shy about what happens during their shows, in fact my nephew Freddie would probably like to have someone like you available to try out his illusions on. And of course, you've met Rod-erick at the party, but he might be looking for an occasional assistant, for when the strippers refuse to be involved in the magic."

Kairi agreed to have her name passed among Arthur's colleagues as a potential adventurous assistant, before she rushed home to remedy the pent up horniness she was feeling.
