((Phew...been a long time coming with this! BUT, this round is over, and with the next one I should be getting more back into the swing of things. I don't expect combat to last too much longer, especially not after Cyria's little moment here....))<br/><br/><br/>There was something almost natural about a hungry lizard eating a spider, and as much as Cyria fought against the inevitable, the lizardess' tongue had done it's job rather wonderfully this time. Sticky through it was, it wasn't until she'd gotten her arms around Cyria's upper body that things had turned dire, and despite the drider's struggles to pull herself free, the vision of Jutii's wide-opens jaws looms before her head. The sight was not unexpected - her teeth were very tiny but looked exceptionally sharp and slightly hooked, no doubt to prevent prey that had slid between them from being able to squirm their way back out without injuring themselves in the process. Still, that seemed a more preferable fate that being crammed into the slender little tummy below, a tummy that Cyria can both hear and feel rumble in anticipation as Jutii draws her in closer and closer.<br/><br/>With a delighted-sounding 'Mmmnnn', Jutii's mouth opens wider, her tongue slipping down around Cyria's neck to crane her head forward, making her a little more streamlined for the trip to come. It's in that moment, when things seemed to be going most poorly...Cyria reaches deep inside herself, looking for that odd connection that she'd felt upon being pulled back through the portal into her own realm. It's buried, but she can FEEL it...a sort of 'hold' on the strange feline girl who'd ambushed them. A feeling like she's every bit as much a part of her as...well, SHE was a part of her. For a brief moment, Cyria feels Viera awaken inside of her, a sort of warming sensation that spreads throughout her body, and like someone rousing from sleep, the cat's essence bubbles to the surface...and Cyria feels herself slipping away...<br/><br/>Like watching through a dream, Cyria both sees and feels Viera take control, briefly wresting the control of her body away...only for her eyes to widen at the sight before her. A wide open mouth, coming down towards her, waiting to engulf her...! In the span of a split second, Cyria feels Viera's surprise turn to anger, anger that someone would DARE be trying to eat HER...and in a flood, Cyria's senses come rushing back, Viera's considerable energy diverted to something else.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~What in the heck are you trying to do?! Get me eaten?! ~ </span>Viera's reverberating voice echos through Cyria's head, clearly in a little bit of a huff (((Remember to negate -5 from your bond! ))), but the voice was secondary...<br/><br/>...The odd feeling encapsulating Cyria, alot more of a focus. The drider feels a strange, itchy sensation in the small of the humanlike portion of her back, like someone dragging a feather across her skin. Then, a little pinprick, and *THOOOM!*, a strange, somewhat see-through tentacle, easily a good twenty feet long and as slender as her arm, whips around from behind her...and wraps itself around Jutii TIGHTLY, the lizardess hardly able to offer up a startled squeak of dismay before her airway was entirely cut off, her lungs compressed and unable to draw in another breath of air. Without even thinking about it, Cyria lifts the lizardess up in the air, dangling her effortlessly.<br/><br/>"Wha...whaa...uuff...can...t...bre...th..." Jutii whispers, struggling in the embrace of the tentacle.<br/><br/>((( Cyria feels like she can 'control' this tentacle. It can either deal subdual damage equal to<br/>mental stat bonus mod x 1d6 (6d6 for Cyria, I believe? Using her +6 int bonus?), Maintain a grapple with a bonus of --<br/><br/>1d6 x highest mental mod - (3 on the 1d6, so +18 on top of own bonus), or be used in a vore check with the same. )))<br/><br/>((Not a massive post, but I'm not quite fully back to form yet. :3 However, this finishes up the current round! Now, feel free to post more! ))<br/><br/><br/>((Not yet went -<br/><br/>NPCs<br/>Cyria<br/>Johan<br/>Alura<br/><br/>Already Went -<br/><br/>Sasara<br/>Xali (Will resolve this next post)<br/><br/>Now that we know what Veira's 16 is, I'll update it after the fight!<img alt=":D" src="./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" title="Very Happy"/>))
