[[Urgh... three week delay, you say? Sounds about right given work nightmares. Mea maxima culpa, regardless, and fair warning that I have a two week business trip starting *next* weekend too. Hopefully next week will be quiet enough that I can get another update in before I leave! Until then:]]<br/><br/>As Nanami's spell coalesces, she has the familiar disorienting sense of being in two places at once. Her senses report the same hot, slimy darkness all around her and squeezing her gently, while her magical vision sees the scene a little differently. Her own bulge stays peacefully still in the sitting gnoll, Kyra regarding the phantom with untroubled, serene eyes, while Balgur's serpentine bulge writhes inside him and helps him keep the naked, burnt Bella down. The wolfman cocks his head and looks at Nanami appreciatively. "Well, with a skill like that, it's a pity you're not in me-" He belches a little. "Though I may not have room, and your friend's struggles are a lot more fun. Kyra doesn't mind peaceful prey, though, so you're probably better off there." He listens to Nanami's calm, rational explanation of events. There's a long silence, punctuated by Bella groaning a little underneath Balgur... and then the wolfman laughs, jostling a confused Lamya inside him. "I see the problem now! Oh! Right- there's been a simple case of miscommunication!" He grins. "You think we disagree with Aida, and we're actually her pretty close friends. I can see how you'd make that mistake. Thanks for being so good as to tell us, though! We'll make sure to behave just like we would anyone else-"<br/><br/>Around Nanami, the flow of acids increase, quickly coating her body; the gnoll's stomach becomes far more active, kneading her more aggressively and interfering with her communication. Still, between her phantom and her ears muffled by flesh, she hears, "After all, if you were willing to trick Aida, your friends are probably not treating her very well either, so we'll not have the luxury of a long digestion if we want any chance of helping her!"<br/><br/>[[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/292798">Strong Attack + Boost</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+4</span><span style="font-weight: bold">4</span>digesting Nanami]]<br/><br/>Inside Balgur's stomach, Lamya also feels his body lurch into action. The gentle caress of ribbed walls very abruptly becomes a fierce, battering churning to help knead into her scales the strong acids suddenly pouring from his stomach walls. As tangled up as she is inside him, she can barely get her bearings to figure out which way is up even before digestion begins.<br/><br/>[[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/292799">Strong Attack + Boost</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+4</span><span style="font-weight: bold">5</span>digesting Lamya]]<br/><br/>Inside Aiyaka's belly, Aida rubs herself against the slimy walls of her devourer's stomach, already feeling the tingling of Aiyaka's fluids all over her body. She didn't think of getting out- being outside Aiyaka's body was the last thing the harpy wanted. She was still in a daze from the eager, loving caress of hand and tongue over most of her body, and now... she'd always loved watching people be eaten, and part of her had always wondered if it would be as good to be the one being eaten as to watch some other beautiful predator feast on her natural prey. Now Aida knew- it was... natural. She already felt the kitsune's juices coating her feathers and skin, tingling pleasantly and giving her a taste of what her future would be like. She could picture Aiyaka's body, with the giant bulge marking her resting place- she could even picture it steadily shrinking as Aiyaka melted her away. Aida didn't want to die, of course, but... the heat, the slime, even the slight beginning of pain wasn't a bad thing, was it? Nothing that felt so heavenly could really be evil. She wanted to stay inside here for... maybe not forever, but for much longer than digestion would usually allow.<br/><br/>Eagerly, Aida presses herself against the walls of Aiyaka's stomach, giving the sour folds a lick and marveling at the burning inside her; spreading her legs as awkwardly as the close confines allow, she starts eagerly rubbing herself on the soft, churning walls as they try to mold Aiyaka's meal into a tight, melting ball. She knows what will happen if she stays in some part of her mind- her body will become part of the beautiful kitsune's, fill out her curves, and she... well, she'd heard she'd come back to life. Did she dare trust herself to that? Between the pleasure of being claimed by the kitsune and the hopelessness of her situation, she had to. Energetically the harpy tickles and kneads at Aiyaka's stomach, the sound of her voice rumbling through her entire body. "I never knew... it felt this good.." she moans, already on the verge of another climax. "But keep me- not... let me out, but just... slow down," she pleads. "This feels so good, I don't want it to end quickly. Do you? I know this feels good... why not let it keep going for hours?"<br/><br/>[[Aida's attack is a tie, so she'll take a "Ticklish Feathers" boost against Aiyaka; defense is<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/292800">Clever Defense</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+2</span><span style="font-weight: bold">0</span>, five shifts, so she'll fill in her last stress box and take the moderate consequence "Lost in Pleasure" as she starts to churn away. Her own attack, she'll use her boost and keep trying to seduce Aiyaka;<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/292801">Clever Attack</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+4</span><span style="font-weight: bold">6</span>.]]<br/><br/>For as much as Aida was losing herself in the thrill of being digested by another, her friend was still in the shock and rage part of her own devouring. The other harpy, as soon as she feels the hand pressing down on the sphincter to block off her exit begins punching the walls of the stomach as hard as she can. She's aiming for sensitive internal organs; Felicitiy's felt that before, and just as usual there's thick layers of muscle and fat to cushion the blow. She's doing a good game job of it, but she just doesn't have the strength to interfere; the acids soaking her body don't seem to be slowing her down much, though. "HEY! Let me out and let's wait for date two! You ain't seen nothing left, kitty!" she yells inside the humid stomach, frustratedly trying to find a soft spot to prod to make the pirate barf her up and generally doing her best to be a distracting nuisance.<br/><br/>[[The other harpy's attack very fails, and her defense is<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/292802">Forceful Defense</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">4dF+2</span><span style="font-weight: bold">4</span>; she takes 1 stress, so she is getting digested just not very fast compared to eager Aida over there!
