"Such a hassle...  Good thing I caught the mage by surprise, she'd probably be trying to teleport them away by-Nn, now."  The scaled body slides further into Feign's throat.  Though he had to use his hands to help his tail jaws open wide enough to accommodate her shoulders, the rest of the throat is stretching slowly but easily to let her in.<br/><br/>Between Tyler's screams, Feign hears the doctor's worried voice over the radio.  "Mm, oh well..." Feign looks a little disappointed that they can't take the doctor by surprise as well, though he is so occupied by the act of swallowing Seras that he can't even reach to the radio.  Even if he could, chances are he couldn't concentrate enough through the sensations to copy a voice.<br/><br/>Instead, he just stays close to Jaku, enjoying the feeling of the scaled sorceress sliding into his gullet.  He can feel her heartbeat slowing down and getting faint.  As the heartbeat finally flickers out, he is flooded with Seras' memories, her life flashing before his eyes much more intensely than Arthur's did before.  He remains surprisingly calm as he absorbs the powerful memories and emotions.<br/><br/>When he opens his eyes again, he realizes that he has already almost done with swallowing her, only her lower legs visible hanging from his tailmaw.  "Wow... that was more intense than... just wow.  How long was I out?"<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Delilah watches the beacons move slowly every now and then.  The lack of a response bothers her, a lot.  The tries to picture what is going on, if there is some kind of animal out there dragging the bodies around, or if they've survived, but become badly injured.<br/><br/>She paces around the room thinking.  Her mind building different scenes where the group may have been injured either by accident or by attack...  Either way-*BEEP BEEP BEEP!*<br/><br/>She nearly jumps into the corner when the watch goes of, signaling that it's time for another session of 'anti-curse enchantment' from Seras...  Delilah never liked magoc, but there was definitely an effect the last time the protection wore off on the first day of travel.  And Seras had said that the effect was centered on the compound, so it would be more severe the closer to it one got.<br/><br/>She looks at the monitor for a moment, and the flashing distress dot that is Seras' position...  Or at least, her<span style="font-style: italic">head's</span>position as the scenario her mind is painting slowly gets more pessimistic.  She finally decides to get to the radio tower and send a signal out for assistance.<br/><br/>As she opens the door, she feels the enchantment fade, and the entire compount outside seems to vanish into completely unrecognizable woodland...<br/><br/>"Oh...<span style="font-style: italic">crap</span>."
