Alizome scales the throat, reaching higher and higher towards the mouth she knows instinctively is up there somewhere. Xarces' throat muscles are powerful, and squeeze in on her, but she pushes her knees out to lock against peristaltic contractions while she gropes for a handhold higher. There's something there, and the elven bulge reaches up and becomes just visible at the top of Xarces' neck; Alizome clings to it, bringing her legs and feet free of the soup and into the foul air of Xarces' digestive system. Elation blooms as she can sense an exit near, and the second phase of her... discussion... with Xarces imminent.<br/><br/>But then Xarces swallows again. Her hand scrabbles on a handhold eliminated by the contraction of his esophagus, and without that hold her legs start to slip back down. As the rippling motion of his throat travels down, it pushes her before it just as it had pushed the digested mermaid down not too long ago, eager to treat Alizome the same way that the fish-woman had been treated. With an indignant, wordless squawk of dismay, her rear falls into the puddle of acid and mermaid remains that it had just escaped. A sphincter closes above her, locking the elf back into Xarces' tum, and she quickly reorients herself. The level of sludge had gone down, much of the mermaid funneled deeper into Xarces to be absorbed and made one with the man who wooed and then betrayed her; it looked a fair bet to do the same to Alizome without the preliminary wooing. Without the sludge, she has little protection against the fresh acids as they course from Xarces' walls onto her now-bare flesh, stinging and burning and bringing all the promise of a speedy end to her experienced nerves. Where most would be shrieking in pain, Alizome has to restrain a moan of pleasure as she feels her skin start to soften under the stomach's assault. She'd long since grown addicted to the pleasure of a predator claiming her for herself, and some days thought she only escaped so that she could feel the same embrace again. Pushing back upwards, she claws at the sphincter she'd just almost gone through, but this time the strong muscle keeps her where part of her mind increasingly feels she belongs; knocking her hands away with an opportune gurgle, the ridged, slimy walls enfold her body and continue to caress juices into her form, doubly eager to finish treating her as the food she's been turned into now that the mermaid's drained away.<br/><br/>[[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/227816">Escape Attempt</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d20+17</span><span style="font-weight: bold">21</span>(Escape failed, if I recall right!
