When asked about the whereabouts of Alizome Xarces would offer a casual shrug of his shoulders. "I was too busy slashing up mermaids to make heads or tails of anyone's whereabouts... didn't she stay on the ship?" he asks " ....If she fell in, it's possible she was eaten of course, wouldn't be the first time a city elf slipped beneath the waves never to be seen again....The ocean is a dangerous place, often cruel and unforgiving... and with all of the mermaids fleeing so rapidly, we'd be hard pressed to find her even if we tried.....though knowing her I'm sure she'll pop up sooner or later." he adds before politely dismissing himself to venture down to the lower decks. Stopping for only a moment to cast his gaze upon the impressively filled tail of Linda, and to smile and nod at the lovely bulge within Adrastia's middle.<br/><br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Once he was alone, laid back in his hammock, Xarces would focus on enjoying the last moments with the beautiful mermaid below. His only regret being unable to spend more time with her before the two of them where made into one, to learn more about her, though these pangs where minor in exchange for the experience he was now sharing with her. The plan was a simple one, digest the mermaid and then he'd be able to let the elf go free. Of course Xarces was more used to being within a belly while this was all going on then without, as such he expected the mermaid to be able to withstand a good deal of grinding. To this end he begins to hum a soothing tune, both to drown out her struggles and cries, and to help calm her, to help her enjoy that which he himself found to be so exciting. <br/><br/>His muscular stomach walls squeeze and grind in against the body of the mermaid, working in those powerful digestive fluids. The addition of his hands, rubbing in a manner of which he knew to help in digestion, a manner similar to the one he'd used on Shaklik, would only help to speed up the process as her body is rapidly softened and broken down. Hearing her go quite he coos happily "That's it.. enjoy yourself." continuing to kneed and massage his eagerly gurgling tum. As he merely assumed the softness he could feel shifting around was that of the mermaid's frame weakening as her skin began to break apart and slough off. "It won't be too much longer." he assures her. Though shortly after he does so he would feel an outstretched hand, would feel the sensation of the one inside rubbing along the slime coated fold's of his stomach lining. "Mmmm it's not so bad now is it? Feels good in a way I bet... being melted down...made into food and fuel... like so many meals have had the pleasure to do within you. I'll hand it to ya, you mermaid's are a lot tougher than I gave you credit." he murmurs to the occupant of his belly. His words soft and lyrical as they mix with the continuous gurgles and glorps, and heavy and every present beating of the bard's heart. His stomach shifting and squeezing around his meal, hugging her frame and offering her to stay as the body of the mermaid is washed away, accumulating at it's bottom in a thick and frothy stew, a glimpse of what Alizome could become where she to stay in here, to stay quite and allow nature to take it's course.  <br/><br/><br/>(( Depending on how treacherous you wish this to be, you can take either the normal dmg, or add in the performance on top of it ^^ ))<br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/227582">crushing</a>: <span style="text-decoration: underline">1d6</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">6</span><br/>+4 for strength and +4 for performance soo total of 14<br/><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/227583">acid</a>: <span style="text-decoration: underline">1d6</span> <span style="font-weight: bold">5</span><br/><br/>((if you wish you may also take a DC 17 will save to prevent being fascinated as he works to soothe and lull what he assumes to be the mermaid within. ))</div></div></div><br/><br/>it was then that Xarces would hear a knocking on his door. Pulling himself from his resting position, he makes his way over to see whom it could be. His tummy offers a tight squeeze to Alizome as he walks, the digesting mermaid sloshing around her from side to side... on the plus side he was no longer massaging his tum, and as such the rate at which he'd been digesting her had dwindled upon standing up. When he opens the door his face would light up with a rather pleased smile "Adrastia, and to what do I owe this pleasure?" he asks, casting the gaze of his cyan eyes from her beautiful face, on down to her actively thrashing, mermaid filled tum, a gaze that clearly indicated he liked what he saw.
