"What are these things on our skirts and legs?" she asked.

"Insurance, for us. We don't want you two to agree to this deal then betraying us and using your magic against us, or once we let you out of here trying to run off."

"What does it do?" growled Ranko.

Cissy looked at Folk nodded her head and then turned and left the room.

"It's called the gear system. Stand up it's alright. I mean it doesn't really matter it will work if you sitting as well," said Folk.

The girls stood up and walked in front of the tables standing next to each other and about ten feet away from Folk still as they faced him.

Folk reached into the left side of his trench coat with his right hand and pulled out a small control device.

"The way the gear system works is I press and hold down this button and the gears on your waist will start to spin pulling your skirts up around your waists. The longer I hold this button down the higher your skirts will go up until either I let go, your skirts come all the way up around your waists, or you decide to compile with the orders you have been given," informed Folk.

"I call bullshit company man," spit out Ranko.

"Ok a demonstration then. This is way Cissy left she has no interest in seeing your panties," said Folk as he pressed down on the master switch. The gears on both Ranko's and Wanko's waist began to hiss and wine being started for the first time. The gears started to pull the straps attached to the hems of the girls' skirts.

At first the girls didn't notice anything then they felt their skirts slowly moving up their legs. They looked down to see that their skirts were indeed being pulled up remotely as they watched their hem lines slowly move up higher and higher over their thighs. The girls' eyes grew wide and their mouth went agape as they quickly reached down with their hands grabbing and clutching the bottoms of their skirts trying desperately to hold them down and pull them back down into place, but it was of no use.

Higher and high the gears pulled Wanko's and Ranko's skirts and soon the bottom of their pure white satin panties began to peek out from underneath their retracting skirts. The witches began to turn pink blushing with embarrassment.

"No!" they shouted in unison and protest, but it was too late.

More and more of their panties were slowly exposed to Folk's eyes as he watched and soon with the girls still clutching tightly to their respective skirts' hems trying to pull them back down over their panties, the gears stopped with the girls skirts up around their waists unable to go any higher. The girls tugged and pulled trying to cover their panties back up and restore their skirts to their proper positions, but it was in vein and their skirts would not budge from up around their waists.

 

"Bastard!" shouted Ranko as she looked up and over at Folk her face pink with blushing embarrassment.

"The R&D boys found the best was it seems to keep someone in line is the threat and application of public humiliation," informed Folk. "And if the threat of having your skirts pulled up isn't enough I can go as far as this."

Folk pressed another switch on the remote and the gears attached to Wanko's and Ranko's ankles began to spin and they felt a sickening sense in the pits of their stomachs. They then felt a tug on their panties and watch as they began to slowly be pulled down their long smooth legs.
