[With Our Heroes at Yatchets]<br/><br/>"Mmmfh?" Sophie's panic is cut off as Eric kissed her... she listens carefully to Salvador, and is slightly comforted...<br/><br/>and Eric can feel, not a metal tongue... but a tentacle? and more of them are in her throat!<br/><br/>But when Eric hugged her, she hadn't closed her armored clothing. and his body presses against her skin...<br/><br/>"Mmmmm~" she instinctually wraps her arms around Eric, holding him to her naked form, kissing him...<br/><br/>and within moments, he starts sinking into her metal body like it's barely solid already Eric can feel familiar tentacles where his skin is underneath Sophie's...<br/><br/>[Ability Gained= Deceptive Nightmare Embrace! Turns out, Sophie can still trap people inside her in humanoid form... but it's a lot harder and takes longer for her to do, and the confines seem even tighter! Looks like this process is rather debilitating as well... her humanoid body is much more sensitive than her coffin form!]<br/>(Eeeeyeah. I worked that out with PMP folks, so it's staying.)<br/><br/>00000000000000000000<br/>[A bench in town]<br/><br/>"Guess?" the woman looks almost dissapointed. "Do you not like pussy little man?" she asks, then spreads open her cloak slightly...<br/><br/>WOW. She's hot, and naked! (Incedentally... hiding her wings and tail, so Jon doesn't see them when she opens her cloak.<br/><br/>"I think my pussy is rather nice, don't you?" she grins lewdly, but starts to close her cloak. "but if you don't like pussies..."<br/><br/>00000000000000000000<br/><br/>[Hornet Cave: Beta's Lab]<br/><br/>Commander Vespa blinks... then nods. "If you think you can work through the last of the venom, I will aid you immediately." She retrieves the drain root, and brings it to Beta.<br/><br/>"It's probably better that you have turned female again. It will help keep my sister from the temptation of feeding from you again." the commander comments idly.<br/><br/>"I do not know if my queen will approve of modifying the eggs... and I hope you plan to adapt your own body to produce more energy or channel it more efficiently. The difficult with the eggs is that multiple pregnancies drain a massive amount of energy quickly... I think, perhaps slowing the process, or providing a more efficient transfer is key."<br/><br/>Vespa shares some of Beta's qualities... it appears that the warrior holds no ill will toward Beta... both of them are just doing their job. In fact, it seems that Commander Vespa would want the doctor to save as many lives as possible. Better everyone involved.<br/><br/>"I'm no scholar, but if this succeeds, Doctor, it may even be possible that humans will volunteer to serve the hive, should the process prove safe or even healthy."<br/><br/>(I'd like to suggest a slight timeskip soon... just so you can lay out the effects of the potion and establish a bit more character. How you solve the problem is up to you... but I'd like to at least have the egg in Beta's guts be showing when the Queen returns for results.)
