Foul-smelling saliva, thick as glue, mats her fur and oozes into everything: inside her ears, up her nose, past her lips, and under her armor. The rancid air even affects her eyes, threatening to blind her with tears- not that the creature's wet purplish gullet is much worth looking at.<br/><br/>The sight of Sashi half-swallowed by the olive-skinned brute is finally enough to snap Chander out of his trance. "Rad, marr sapatob- Greth, wait!" The lapine man ceases his intonations and reaches for Sashi, his fingers closing around her ankle for a brief moment...<br/><br/>But it's too late. With a toss of its head, the thug breaks Chander's grip and flings Sashi's legs into the air before wolfing her down in a series of quick gulps.<br/><br/>The thug's interior is about as pleasant as can be expected, given the circumstances- which is to say, absolutely terrible. The few areas of Sashi's skin that escaped being bathed in monster drool are quickly soaked with a far worse mixture of gastric juices and semi-digested sludge, its origins best left unpondered. The air is rank, sour and meaty, like inhaling a vinegar-soaked steak with every breath.<br/><br/>Over the heavy breathing of her captor, Sashi can make out Chander's voice screaming at the massive brute- but his words are far from reassuring.<br/><br/><br/>"Greth, you thrice-damned idiot! What in Kol Korran's name do you think you're doing? I told you to silence her, not<span style="font-style: italic">eat</span>her! If I lose so much as one copper on her sale because of acid burns..."<br/><br/>"Sorree, Boss," Greth's gravelly voice rumbles from above. "No burn. Promise."<br/><br/>Chander's exasperated sigh is barely audible through the walls of Greth's belly. "Well, I suppose a stomach is as good a means of transport as any. But you'd best hold her tightly- it'll be your own fault if she takes that axe of hers to your innards."<br/><br/>"Yursh, Boss." The walls of Greth's stomach close in around Sashi, forcing her into a fetal position- it's not painful, but it's enough to keep her from using her weapon effectively. From outside, a hand presses against her body...<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">*Outside*</span><br/>"Good boy!" Chander praises his accomplice/pet, patting the swollen bulge of Sashi inside Greth. "Are you comfortable in there, Miss Sashi? I do apologize for the general untidiness, but the, ah, gastric portion of this ruse was rather unplanned. Now, if you'd be so kind as to remain still until we reach our destination? I'm afraid Greth may decide to digest you if your struggles become too much for him."<br/><br/>Chander gives Greth's belly another firm pat and strolls toward the alleyway entrace, gingerly stepping over the splatters of blood and bits of torn cloth left on the street by Greth's handiwork. As he walks, he makes a few quick gestures and runs a hand over his brow, as if brushing a loose hair aside. His appearance blurs, then resolves into a thin fair-haired human.<br/><br/>"Ah, much better... Come along Greth. Let's fetch you a healer before we prepare our new slave for market."<br/><br/>"Yursh, Boss." Greth lopes after his master, leaving the bloodstained alleyway quiet once more.<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;"><span style="color: brown"><span style="font-size: 120%; line-height: 116%;"><span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">[Status]</span></span></span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Chander:</span> HP: 35/35 (100%)    [AC: 18 (+6 chain shirt, +2 dex)]<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Sashi:</span> HP: 105/105 (100%)*    [AC: 25 (+9 mythril platemail, +3 natural armor, +3 dex)]   <span style="font-style: italic">47 non-lethal damage, pinned</span> (by Greth's stomach :3)<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Greth:</span> HP: 45/100 (45%)*   [Interior AC: 17]</span></div></div></div>
