Dear $name $last, Congratulations! You have been accepted into St.Miluina's Vore Academy for the fall semester. After careful review of your application and record of past incidents, we believe you'll be a great fit here at MVA. Only 100 applicants are let in each year, so be proud! Here at St.Miluina's we put all of our students through a best-of-its-kind program to guide them towards mastery of the art. You'll take classes to improve your skill in all facets of vore--swallowing, digestion, escaping, even alternative forms such as unbirth. Outside of class students are left at each other's mercy--in most situations, there are no repercussions for taking advantage of weakness in your peers. Those few who survive through their fourth year are destined for greatness, I hope you'll be among them! As a freshman you'll be housed in the west wing of the main building, your exact room assignment will come at a later date. Orientation is on Sunday September 1st, be sure not to miss it! When you arrive on campus, please drop off your belongings at the front gate to be brought to your room, then go to Karbo Hall and report to the woman at the desk to get your schedule for the day. I look forward to meeting you! Sincerely, Evelyn Inedia, Headmistress PS: Another member of the MVA team will be in contact with you again soon to discuss tuition payment and answer any questions you may have. [[Let's Go!->September 1st- Start]]

<<if !$offCourse>><<set $time to 8.5>><<include "TIME">>@@color:rebeccapurple;''September 1st''@@ ---- The day is here! After an entire summer of waiting you've finally arrived on the MVA campus for orientation. A student at St.Miluina's: It's a dream come true! The campus is made up of only three buildings surrounding a fairly large courtyard--a rectangular area filled with decorative brick paths centered around a large fountain. In the space between the walkways are fields of grass and occasional beds of carefully tended flowers that match the school's colors, primarily lavender and daisies. There's also a section that appears to be a garden of some kind, surrounded by a wall of shrubs that obscure your view of the inside. After walking in from the main gate, you find yourself in front of the fountain. Ahead of you is the main hall, Karbo, where you're supposed to report in. To your left is Lampton Hall, which looks to be connected to the main hall by an elevated bridge, and on your right is the Aesir sports complex. You've seen a few students that got here before you heading into the main hall, but out of the corner of your eye you spot two girls sneaking off towards the sports complex instead. <<linkreplace "Examine the fountain">><<set $checkedFountain to true>>The fountain is made of smooth white marble. Three tiered water basins rise up from its center, each overflowing onto the level below it. Around the outside of the bottom layer, several jets of water shoot up and arc back toward the center. A small, somewhat humourous statue of an angel caressing its bulging gut sits atop the highest basin. <</linkreplace>> [[Head for the main hall->September 1st- Front Desk 1]] [[Follow the girls->Off Course]]<<elseif $eatenBySam or $eatenByCustodian>><<set $time to 9.75>><<include "TIME">><<if $outfitState is "gone">>You rush <<if $eatenBySam>>out the door and down the hall<<else>>down the stairs toward the entrance<</if>>, your face hot and practically glowing red as you streak through the campus. This wasn't at all how the first day was supposed to go, embarrassing yourself to this degree before you've even checked in! But you don't know what else to do--it's not like you have clothes laying around you could change into. Your only hope is that some of the staff can help you. Feeling like you might faint, you cover as much of yourself as you can with your arms and hurry out into the open air of the courtyard. Luckily, no one else seems to be around anymore to see you, though you realize that probably means your late. <<else>>You rush out the doors of the sports complex and sprint back towards the courtyard, your body still drenched with saliva and stomach acid. It's obvious to any observer that you've just escaped a stomach--not a good look to have on your first day--but you don't have much choice other than to head to the front desk like you were supposed to earlier. You're definitely late by now.<</if>> [[Head for the main hall->September 1st- Front Desk 2]]<<else>><<set $time to 9>><<include "TIME">><<if $escaped != "null">>You rush out the doors of the sports complex and sprint back towards the courtyard, <<if $escaped is "custodian">>the custodian shouting at you to come back. Luckily, she doesn't seem to have followed you out of the building. As you reach the fountain, you notice that the main square is now completely empty. You should hurry to the front desk--that detour might have made you late for check in!<<else>>not stopping to catch your breath until you reach the fountain. As you regain your composure you notice that the main square is now completely empty.

<<if $offCourse>><<set $time to 9.25>><<include "TIME">>You hurry toward the building and through the doors, hoping you haven't wasted so much time that you'll make a bad impression. Luckily, when you step inside you find there are still a few girls hanging around in the lobby, so you're probably fine. Not wanting to take further risks, you immediately head for the front desk.<<else>><<set $time to 8.75>><<include "TIME">>Not wanting to risk any trouble on your first day, you head straight for the main hall. The building looks surprisingly old, made of weathered grey stone with large, wooden doors. You notice on your approach that the eastern wing of the building looks much more modern--they must have expanded the campus out from this small, original structure. You pull on the golden handle of the heavy door, causing it to slowly creak open. Inside, it feels like you've stepped forward in time. A second set of modern, glass buffer doors opens up into a large lobby area lit by fluorescent lamps in the ceiling. The walls are a pale purple color, covered in pictures of past headmistresses and notable alumni. On the left is a lounge area filled with an assortment of plush chairs and couches around tables. A few girls are sitting around chatting with each other. On your right is an L-desk with a computer and all manner of papers and odd trinkets scattered around.<</if>> At the desk sits a rather plump woman in a red dress with a warming smile on her face.<<if !$offCourse>> She's talking to a student that came in ahead of you--a girl with slightly curled blonde hair dyed orange at the fringes. The secretary--who you notice has nails painted to match her dress--hands her a folder and sends her over to the lounge area. You step up to take her place.<</if>> "Hello, and welcome to Saint Miluina's Vore Academy! Can I see your ID?" she asks in a pleasant tone. "Of course," you say, handing her the plastic card. You'd received it in the mail a few weeks ago. "Thank you, $name!" she says, swiping your ID through a scanner and handing it back. She starts to pull something up on her computer. "It's great to have you here! I'm just making sure we have your file all in order, it'll only take a moment," she chirps, a pleasant grin never leaving her face. "...Aaaand we're all set! Looks like you're in tour group two<<if !$offCourse>>, same as the girl I was just talking to<</if>>. Here's a folder with all the information you'll need," she says, handing you a plastic purple folder with "M.V.A" written in white on the front. "In addition to a copy of the schedule for orientation today, your class schedule, dorm assignment, and information for getting into the online portal are all in there, so don't lose it! The welcome presentation will be in the auditorium right at the end of this hall," she gestures to a wide doorway next to the desk<<if $offCourse>>. "Make sure you sit in the middle seating area so you're with the rest of your tour group."<<else>>, "but it won't be starting for another hour or so, so feel free to take your time and talk to the other students here in the lobby! When you do go in sit in the middle seating area so you're with the rest of your tour group."<</if>> "Thank you!" you say with a smile. <<if !$offCourse>>Two more girls just walked in behind you, so you step away from the desk to let them check in. You notice that the blonde girl that checked in before you is waving at you, trying to beckon you over. [[Go say hello->Front Desk- Emma]] [[Head for the auditorium and pretend you didn't see her->September 1st- Opening Presentation]]<<else>> [[Head for the auditorium->September 1st- Opening Presentation]]<</if>>

Curiosity getting the better of you, you head over to the sports complex to see what those girls were up to. They've already gone inside through one of the side doors by the time you arrive, however, and you know you aren't supposed to go into any of the other buildings before checking in. [[Go back->September 1st- Arrival]] [[Risk it->Off Course- Follow Girls]]

<<set $offCourse to true>>After a quick look around to ensure there wasn't anyone looking your way, you sneak through the two sets of glass doors and into the building. The entrance brings you into a spatious hallway open all the way to the second story of the building, lined with windows along the upper wall that flood the area with natural light. Across from the door are two staircases leading up to a walkway on the second floor. To the left is a bathroom and what looks to be a supply closet, marked "Staff Only". On your right, the hallway continues on, with a sign indicating that it's the way to the pool area. <<if $checkedFountain>><<set $time to 8.75>><<include "TIME">>Unfortunately, it seems you waited too long to tail them and the girls are nowhere in sight. They must still be here somewhere, but it might not be worth your time to try and track them down. <<linkappend "Explore the building">>--Where do you want to go?

Sure enough, just around the corner is a set of double doors labeled "POOL" on the righthand wall. They click shut just as you arrive.

<<set $caughtLocation to "upstairs">>You head for the stairs, making your way up to the short walkway on the second floor.

You go to check the bathroom, only to jump back in surprise as the door opens from the other side. Standing in the doorway is a tall, muscular woman with short red hair pulling a cart of cleaning supplies. She's wearing a purple one piece uniform that goes down to her knees and a pair of bright yellow gloves. There's a pin on her chest that reads "Nora". "Hey!

She calls out in a somewhat gruff voice, giving you a stern look. <<linkreplace "I just needed to use the bathroom">><<append "#dialogue">>"I just needed to use the bathroom ma'am," you say as innocently as you can.

You jump forward in surprise and whip around to see who the offendor is. Standing just in front of you at the top of the stairs is a tall, muscular woman with short red hair wearing a purple one piece uniform that goes down to her knees. She looks rather annoyed. "Mind explainin' what yer doin' up here lass? Buildin's not open to students until the tour later today" she says in a gruff voice. You notice a pin on her chest that reads "Nora". You panic. Why //are// you even in here? Breaking the rules before you've even checked in just to follow two girls you don't know? What were you thinking? Too taken off guard to come up with an excuse, you try to make a break for the other staircase. You barely make it anywhere before the woman grabs one of your arms and stops you in your tracks. "Oy ya brat! Answer me when I ask ye a question! Are you even a student here?" she growls, pulling you in closer. A loud groan from her stomach sends a chill down your spine. "Nevermind, I don't care."<<elseif $caughtLocation is "bathroom">>"I've had enough'a your excuses ye brat!

You weakly get back to your feet, still not back at 100% after the ordeal of Anita's escape. Sam has already stopped paying attention to you, focused entirely on massaging her Anita-filled belly. You walk back to the door that led into the room in disappointment--this was really a big waste of time. The door clicks shut behind you as you wander back into the hall, heading for the exit so you can go to check-in like you were supposed to. However, as you turn the corner you freeze. "Oy! What're ya doin' in here?" Walking towards you from the supply closet is a tall, muscular woman with short red hair wearing a purple one piece uniform that goes down to her knees. And she looks pissed. You think about making a break for it, but you barely have any energy left. "No one's suppost'a be here until the tour later. Ye 'ave permission to be here?" she growls at you, now standing right in your face. You notice she's wearing a nametag that reads "Nora". She seems to be in a terrible mood. "I'm just... there was..." you stutter weakly, not sure what the best approach is here. The woman raises an eyebrow, noticing your pale face and the fact that you're still clutching your stomach with one hand. She grabs the front of your shirt and pulls you in close. "Well? Out with it! Are ya sick or somethin'?" she shouts. "There's a-another-" you start. A loud groan erupts from her stomach, cutting you off and sending a chill down your spine. "Nevermind, I don't care."<<elseif $caughtLocation is "ran">>You try to flee, but you've barely even turned around when the woman grabs the back of your shirt. "Oy! Where d'ya think you're going? I asked ya a question." "I'm terribly sorry ma'am, I was just poking around a bit before orientation. I'll head back to the main hall right away!" You blurt out nervously. You knew you shouldn't have risked coming in here, you don't even know who those girls were! "Ya know you're not allowed in here before check in, yeah?" You nod your head slowly. You make an attempt to back away from her, but she's still got a grip on you. "And d'ya know what we do with rulebreakers here?"<<else>>You start to head down the hall to check out the pool, but you stop in your tracks as a gruff voice calls out from behind you. "Oy! What're ya doin' in here?" You whip around to see who you're dealing with. Walking towards you from the now-open bathroom is a tall, muscular woman with short red hair wearing a purple one piece uniform that goes down to her knees. A cart of cleaning supplies sits next to the open bathroom door--she must be a custodian. "No one's supposta be here until the tour later. Ye 'ave permission to be here?" she growls at you, now standing right in your face. You notice she's wearing a nametag that reads "Nora". She seems to be in a terrible mood. "I-I'm just a bit lost ma'am, I saw these two girls come this way and thought-" you whimper, trying to back away towards the door. The woman grabs the front of your shirt and pulls you closer. "I don't want ta hear your excuses lass, there's only three buildings on the damn campus! Ye know yer not allowed in here, and I ain't feelin' much for forgiveness right now." Her stomach lets out a loud groan.<</if>> Before there's even time to respond she lunges forward and you find your head squeezed into the woman's mouth. She wastes no time swallowing you down--with a loud gulp you feel your head get dragged into the tight embrace of her throat. You try to fight back, but she's got your arms held tight, and the constriction from her throat muscles prevents you from screaming or calling out. With another swallow you're brought in up to your shoulders. A moment later you feel your world turn upside down--she's lifting your body up over her head! You desperately kick your legs to try and throw her off balance, but your efforts are wasted, and with the assistance of gravity you practically fall straight into her stomach, curling up into a ball within the tight walls. She lets out a mighty belch as the last of you drops into her gut. @@color:orange;You have been overpowered.@@ "Aahh, that hit the spot. Thanks for the meal lass, I had ta skip breakfast thi'smornin, but you'll keep me full well past the end of my shift." You can feel her slap her bulging gut, shaking the chamber all around you. The walls of her stomach are already getting to work kneading and sqeezing your saliva coated body. Strange gurgles and groans echo around you as she moves, evidently continuing her work. This isn't how you expected your first day to go.<<set $sceneAttack to 0>><<set $sceneDefense to 0>> <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "preyOptions">></div>

<<set $time to 8.75>><<include "TIME">>You decide that it's probably safer to stay hidden, at least until you know what they're up to. This is a vore academy after all--you wouldn't want to get eaten on your first day! Of course, if things work out right you might be able to nab //yourself// a meal before you've even checked in. Being careful not to make a sound, you creep up to the door and put your ear against the wood. It's a bit muffled, but you have no trouble making out what the two are saying: "See? I told you, when they're cleaning they keep all the rooms unlocked. We just have to keep an eye out for whatever janitor is in here," says a girl with a somewhat husky voice. "Wow you were right, now we've got the whole pool to ourselves! That's so awesome that your sister goes here, you've gotta have all the inside information!" comes a high-pitched, energetic voice in response. You hear a light splashing sound--they probably dipped their legs into the pool. "Yeah, it's pretty great. Already got an in with the upperclassmen too." "Lucky! Maybe some of that rep will rub off on me if I hang around you," the second girl giggles. "I wish I brought a bathing suit." "Eh, we don't have that long before we need to check in anyway. While we're here though I //do// have an idea for how to get you in on my 'good rep'." "Really?" the second girl chirps. "Oh yeah," the first girl says, sounding like she's holding back laughter, "just sit tight." Neither of the girls say anything for a moment, then you start to hear a lot of panicked splashing. The splashing continues for almost a minute, growing more frantic as time goes on, then abruptly stops. After a brief silence, a loud belch rips through the air, followed by a soft splash of water like before.

<<set $time to 8.75>><<include "TIME">><<set $metSam to true>>Not seeing any reason to be wary, you follow them inside. The intense scent of chlorine permeates the air as you enter into the spatious room. The walls are white and rather barren other than a few purple and white banners hanging beneath the windows on the far side. Most of the floor space is taken up by the pool, which doesn't appear to have its swim lanes set up at the moment. Sitting at the edge of the shallows are the two girls you saw earlier. On the left is a somewhat tan girl with short blonde hair wearing a light blue dress. The girl sitting to her right is ghostly pale with sunken eyes and long black hair, sporting a simple black t-shirt with some kind of logo on it. "Hello!" you say in an upbeat tone. "I thought I saw some people come in here." "...Hi," the dark haired girl says quietly, looking annoyed. "Hey, I'm Anita! Come on and join us, the water feels great on your legs!" the blonde beams at you. "What's your name?" "$name," you say, walking towards the edge of the pool. Your stomach growls, sensing an opportunity for a meal. It'd be risky with the two of them so close together, and there's no way you can fit both, but eating someone before orientation has even started would be a great way to show the other students that you shouldn't be messed with.

The custodian is groaning in pain by now, plagued by fits of belching from her stomach's shifting contents. You manage to squirm your right arm into a position above your head and, after feeling around for the sphincter, dare to thrust it back up into her esophagus. Instantly the chamber sqeezes down hard all over your body, practically rocketing you out and back up her throat. In only a few seconds your bile-coated body returns to the outside world, accompanied by a cacophany of disgusting squelches and gagging sounds. You take a moment to regain your bearings as your former predator lies doubled over on the ground in the midst of a coughing fit. <<if $turn > 7>>You hadn't even noticed while inside her, but you realize now that you're completely naked, any trace of your clothes melted away inside her gut.

The walls are white and rather barren other than a few purple and white banners hanging beneath the windows on the far side. Most of the floor space is taken up by the pool, which doesn't appear to have its swim lanes set up at the moment. Sitting at the edge of the shallows is a very pale girl with long black hair and a massive, shifting gut. "Uh... hi..." she says, giving you a wary look. It was the first voice you'd heard, as you figured. She has a few freckles scattered across her cheeks and slightly sunken blue eyes. "Hey! I'm $name, I saw some people come in here and thought I'd check it out," you say as you move towards her across the tiled floor, opting for a friendly approach.

You walk back over to the entrance of the pool together.<</if>> The gurgling and groaning from her digestion has only gotten louder since the struggling stopped, echoing through the pool room. "Wait," Sam says just as you're about to open the door. "There's a janitor in here somewhere, and she'll hear me coming a mile away with this gut. Can you go make sure the coast is clear before I leave?" "Uh, sure. I'll go take a peek around the corner," you tell her. You gently open the door, sliding out and closing it behind you as quietly as you can. There doesn't seem to be anyone further down the hall, so you sneak back to the corner and peek around as discretely as possible. Just as you start looking, a tall redheaded woman comes out of the supply closet, but she doesn't seem to see you. You can't tell what it is she's holding in her hands, probably some kind of cleaner. She heads upstairs without ever acknowledging you. You aren't sure exactly where she went, but the sound of a door clicking shut confirms for you that she's out of the way. You head back to the pool and open the door for Sam. "The coast is clear, I just saw her head up to the second floor. If we hurry we should be able to get out of here before she has time to see us even if she //does// hear you." "Sounds good, lets book it!" Sam says, rushing out the door. You follow suit and the two of you run, or at least as close to a running pace as Sam can manage with the extra bulk of Anita, back to the front doors and out of the building, not looking back to see if you were spotted. You both stop at the fountain to catch your breath. "Whew, I //*hic*// think we're good. Geez, at this rate I'm //*hic*// gonna need a replacement for her by this //*hic*// afternoon," Sam says, plagued by hiccups after stirring up her stomach so much. <<if $samRel > 0>>"You don't have any plans later, right?" she adds with a wink.

"Don't mention it! I didn't even know she was in there, so I would have been screwed without you," you say with a smile. <<Sam 1>> [[Enter the main hall->September 1st- Front Desk 3]]

Not wanting to take any risks, you slide off your socks and sneakers and take a seat next to Anita. "You're lucky you saw us come in! Most people probably think this building's all locked down right now, but they actually keep all the doors open while they're cleaning so we get to have the pool all to ourselves!

"Yeah right? I'm liking this little group we've got going, we can all help each other out! Lets get to know each other a bit better. What's your favorite color?" Anita chirps. While Anita's looking at you expectantly, the dark haired girl, presumably Sam, leans forward so you can see her face. She shifts her eyes towards Anita, then looks back at you and winks. You're pretty sure you get the message. "Uh, probably $fcolor," you tell her, trying to keep her attention. "But it changes from time to time. What about you?" Still focused on you, she replies: "Oh my gosh me too! It's so hard to pick just one! I'm usually pretty crazy about green though... Oh! Or maybe--//mmph//!" Before she can finish answering, Sam grabs her from behind and shoves Anita's head into her mouth. With a loud //*GULP*// Sam starts to work her way down the girl's body. Anita tries to get away, but Sam has her arms locked down and her legs flail uselessly in and out of the pool, splashing water everywhere. As Sam makes it down to the girl's fairly generous chest, Anita changes her approach and tries to throw herself into the pool by pushing against the wall with her legs. You intervene, grabbing her legs and pulling them up onto your lap to move her into a better position for Sam. You hear a muffled scream of outrage from somewhere in Sam's chest. Sam makes fairly short work of her meal, moving down over her midriff in just a few more swallows. With a bit of assistance from you, she lifts Anita's legs up over her head. Between gravity and Sam's throat muscles, it only takes a few seconds for the rest of the girl to vanish into the rapidly expanding prison of Sam's gut. A massive belch echoes through the room as the last of her is sealed away. "Thanks for the //*urp*// help, $name was it?" Sam says, patting her distended belly. "Yeah, no problem, I was thinking of doing the same thing. She wasn't very bright, was she?" you ask, staring at the shifting bulges in her stomach. "Haha, I know right?" she laughs, "I mean, it was so //*urp*// fucking obvious what I was planning when I brought her all the way in here." Two large bulges suddenly press out from either side of her stomach, causing Sam to groan and double over a bit. "HEY, I TRUSTED YOU JERK! And $name I can't believe you helped her! What did I do to you!?" Anita cries out from inside Sam. "You're just food now honey, settle in," you taunt. Sam gets a big grin on her face at your response, but then winces as her prey starts to thrash around in frustration. "Looks like she's giving you a bit of trouble, want some help?" you offer. Sam smiles and pulls her left leg out of the pool, sliding it to the side across the tiles so that her belly is facing you. "Be my guest." You scoot a little bit closer and gently place your hands on her gut. The flesh is soft and warm, and you can easily make out the form of the girl inside. You start to slowly rub your hands rhythmically around it, applying a bit of extra pressure whenever you feel Anita acting up. Sam leans back in satisfaction, using her arms to support herself. She's blushing a little bit. "Mmm, that's nice. Thanks." "No problem, I hate unruly prey" you say, continuing your massage. "So, what's your story?" she asks "Like, why'd you decide to come to MVA." "Vore's pretty much the only thing I'm any good at," you joke. "I figured I might as well take it all the way." "Ha, I guess that's fair enough. I'm kinda following in my sister's footsteps, she's a senior here.<<set $samInfo1 to 1>> Plus, I //love// eating people, a stuffed, squirming gut is one of the best feelings in the world" she says, deliberately pushing out a burp to taunt the girl still struggling in her stomach. "I once got expelled from high school for eating one of the teachers."<<set $samInfo2 to 1>> "Holy shit, no way!" "Mm-hmm," she nods, "it was a great day. He totally had it coming too." The two of you keep chatting away for a while, talking about hobbies and past vore-related escapades. You keep massaging her squirming belly while you talk, feeling it slowly get softer until you can't really make out any definite shape beneath the skin. "I'm pretty sure Anita is gone," you say, moving your hands back to your side. "Let me check," Sam says. She tenses all of her stomach muscles, shrinking and squeezing her massive gut. A gross, squelching //*crack*// sound comes from her stomach, followed by a massive belch. "//*OOORP*// Oooh yeah, she's done" she giggles. With whatever's left inside compacted, her stomach stays at a somewhat smaller size. <<Sam 1>><<set $samPrey.push({name: "Anita", status: "fodder", details: "none"})>> "Guess we should probably go check in now, we don't wanna be too late," she says. <</append>> <<replace "#choices">>[["Yeah, lets get out of here"->Off Course- Leave With Sam]]<</replace>> <</if>> <</link>> <<link "Woah, slow down there">> <<append "#main">>"Woah, slow down there, my ears can only handle so much at once," you say, taken aback by how much information she's ready to give to someone she just met. The dark haired girl, presumably Sam, chuckles slightly under her breath and Anita blushes. "O-Oh, sorry. I know I can be a bit of a chatterbox" she says sheepishly. "How about we get to know each other!" she beams, bouncing back already. "What's your favorite color?" While Anita's looking at you expectantly, Sam leans forward so you can see her face. She shifts her eyes towards Anita, then looks back at you and winks. You're pretty sure you get the message. "Uh, probably $fcolor," you tell her, trying to keep her attention. "But it changes from time to time. What about you?" Still focused on you, she replies: "Oh my gosh me too! It's so hard to pick just one! I'm usually pretty crazy about green though... Oh! Or maybe--//mmph//!" Before she can finish answering, Sam grabs her from behind and shoves Anita's head into her mouth. With a loud //*GULP*// Sam starts to work her way down the girl's body. Anita tries to get away, but Sam has her arms locked down and her legs flail uselessly in and out of the pool, splashing water everywhere. As Sam makes it down to the girl's fairly generous chest, Anita changes her approach and tries to throw herself into the pool by pushing against the wall with her legs. You intervene, grabbing her legs and pulling them up onto your lap to move her into a better position for Sam. You hear a muffled scream of outrage from somewhere in Sam's chest. Sam makes fairly short work of her meal, moving down over her midriff in just a few more swallows. With a bit of assistance from you, she lifts Anita's legs up over her head. Between gravity and Sam's throat muscles, it only takes a few seconds for the rest of the girl to vanish into the rapidly expanding prison of Sam's gut. A massive belch echoes through the room as the last of her is sealed away. "Thanks for the //*urp*// help, $name was it?" Sam says, patting her distended belly. "Yeah, no problem, I was thinking of doing the same thing. She wasn't very bright, was she?" you ask, staring at the shifting bulges in her stomach. "Haha, I know right?" she laughs, "I mean, it was so //*urp*// fucking obvious what I was planning when I brought her all the way in here." Two large bulges suddenly press out from either side of her stomach, causing Sam to groan and double over a bit. "HEY, I TRUSTED YOU JERK! And $name I can't believe you helped her! What did I do to you!?" Anita cries out from inside Sam. "You're just food now honey, settle in," you taunt. Sam gets a big grin on her face at your response, but then winces as her prey starts to thrash around in frustration. "Looks like she's giving you a bit of trouble, want some help?" you offer. Sam smiles and pulls her left leg out of the pool, sliding it to the side across the tiles so that her belly is facing you. "Be my guest." You scoot a little bit closer and gently place your hands on her gut. The flesh is soft and warm, and you can easily make out the form of the girl inside. You start to slowly rub your hands rhythmically around it, applying a bit of extra pressure whenever you feel Anita acting up. Sam leans back in satisfaction, using her arms to support herself. She's blushing a little bit. "Mmm, that's nice. Thanks." "No problem, I hate unruly prey," you say, continuing your massage. "So, what's your story?" she asks "Like, why'd you decide to come to MVA."

Grabbing her from behind, you shove her head into your mouth as she screams in surprise. You swallow hard almost immediately, eager to get the taste of hair out of your mouth. Just as her head starts to squeeze into your throat, she manages to wrestle one of her arms free and goes to grab your head. Much to your surprise, however, the dark haired girl stops her and forces her arm back to her side. You hear and feel the vibration of Anita shouting in outrage from inside your throat. Not wanting to waste the gesture, you pick up the pace. Her tan skin has a hint of lemon flavor to it as it passes over your tongue. You try to savor it, but her dress gets in the way as you push on to her chest. Her breasts are fairly large, double D's at least, but before you even start to worry about the potential challenge the other girl swoops in to help again. She grabs both of her breasts and squishes down the soft flesh as best she can, guiding the flattened orbs into your mouth as you continue sliding down her body. Slowly but surely you take in the rest of her, moving over her stomach with ease. Grabbing her rear, you hoist the girl's legs up out of the water and over your head, letting gravity assist you as you finish your meal. Within a few seconds her feet slide past your tongue and back into your throat, sealing her inside. Your belly bulges out in front of you with the slight outline of the girl within, still expanding a bit as the last of her slides into your gut. "//*UURP*// Ah, that hit the spot," you say, patting your squirming stomach. "Thanks for the assist there, I don't think I got your name," you add as you scoot forward to sit with your legs in the water. "Sam. I was planning on doing the same thing to be honest, so I thought I'd help out," the girl responds with a shrug. "Guess I went out of my way for nothing now though..." "YOU WHAT SAM!?

<<set $time to 9>><<include "TIME">><<set $ateAnita to false>>Your stomach lurches as a sharp pain cuts through your body. Clutching your distended gut, you suddenly feel incredibly nauseous. Anita's struggling is too much, she's shifting her weight around //just right// to make your stomach have a fit. You curl into a fetal position on your side, groaning and squeezing your belly with your arms to try and keep it still until the feeling passes. "Wow, she's really giving you that much trouble?" Sam laughs. "Guess I'm getting that meal after all." Ignoring her, you keep trying to fight the inevitable. Sam stands up from the poolside and walks over in front of you as you writhe in pain on the ground, a slight smirk on her face. You gasp in both pain and surprise at the feeling of an arm forcing its way back into your throat. You try to swallow it down, but to no avail--you've been bested. The sting of your own stomach acids assaults your tongue as a set of fingers reaches back out of your depths and into your mouth, followed shortly by another. A moment later, two hands sprout from the side of your mouth, prying your cheeks apart and pushing down against you as the girl drags herself from your insides. It doesn't take long for the rest of her to slide out of your body, leaving you coughing and trembling on the ground. <<if $preyHealth is 2>>Anita is coated from head to toe in your digestive fluids, her dress filled with holes and barely holding itself together.<<elseif $preyHealth is 1>>Anita is completely naked, all of her clothes, other than a single strap from her bra still stubbornly clinging to her shoulder with nothing connected to it, melted away by the churning of your gut. She's drenched from head to toe in your digestive fluids, red burns scattered across her skin. <</if>>She seems disoriented, getting up onto her hands and knees with a dazed look on her face. Panting, she sits up. "Ha... ha... guess I was too much for a jerk like you," she says, glaring at you. With her attention focused on you, she doesn't notice Sam until it's too late. In one swift motion, she grabs Anita by the armpits and shoves her head into her mouth. The acid coating you gave her acting as lubricant, Sam practically glides down her body, already slurping down her legs before she's really had time to realize what's going on. She sits back and pats her belly as her lips close around the girl's toes. "//*urp*// Oh god I should have washed her off in the pool or something first, that tasted fucking awful," she says, sticking her tongue out. "Like you vomited straight into my mouth." "Heh, sorry..." you say weakly as you shift back into a normal sitting position. "I can't believe she actually got out, her squirming is so weak I can barely feel it." "Hey, I softened her up for you. She just got lucky with me," you protest. "Yeah, whatever." <<Sam -1>><<set $samPrey.push({name: "Anita", status: "fodder", details: "after you failed to eat her yourself"})>> <<if $samRel <= -2>>You try to strike up a conversation with the girl, but Sam suddenly interjects: "Alright look $name, honestly?

Your mouth still tastes like puke, but over time the pain in your stomach fades away and your body starts to recover from Anita's escape. Eventually the bulges in Sam's gut soften and fade away as the girl inside starts to digest in earnest. "//*urp*// Alright, feels like that idiot's past the point of no return now.

<<set $escaped to "sam">><<set $time to 9.75>>Encouraged by your past success, you keep thrashing around the slimy prison with all the strength you can muster. You can hear Sam moaning in pain every now and then- she can't hold on much longer. You thrust your arm upward in your struggles and, to your surprise, feel it push all the way back into her throat. The stomach walls immediately clamp down hard, a rhythmic pressure kicking in trying to push the rest of you up and out. "//*Hurck*// Oh god... shit..." Sam says in a strained voice. She cups her hands over her mouth in a last act of desperation. "Oh gross, gross! I can't watch" Anita squeals, jumping to her feet and turning her back to the scene about to take place. Despite Sam's best efforts to swallow you back down, your arms push back through the intense pressure of her throat and into her mouth. You pry her jaw open from the inside and she finally relents, letting her stomach rid itself of you. Your body rapidly pushes out of hers alongside a chorus of gross squelching and choking sounds. Unfortunately, because of her position you're thrown directly into the icy water of the pool. You resurface as quickly as you can, gasping for your first breath of fresh air in a long time. The sting of chlorine in your nose is almost pleasant compared to the gastric juices you'd been subjected to. <<if $turn < 3>>Although, other than your clothes being drenched you're pretty much unscathed from the experience.<<elseif $turn < 8>>You can feel that your clothes are in shambles, and your skin stings in a few places from the chemicals of the pool flowing against raw patches where Sam's stomach acid had really dug in.<<else>>You realize with some embarrassment that you're completely naked, other than your right sock that's still stubbornly hanging on.<</if>> You rush towards the side of the pool to get out and back onto your feet<<if $turn > 7>>, doing your best to shield your body from the two girls<</if>>. Next to you, Sam is lying on her back clutching her stomach, alternating between coughing fits and groans of discomfort. "Sam are you okay? That sounded awful!" Anita cries out, rushing to her side and paying you no mind. You thought she'd been pretty friendly towards you before, but it seems like she's loyal to Sam<<if $turn < 3>>, and that means the chances are slim you could get away with payback while she's still here. Rather than risk it, you grab your shoes and run out the door, only stopping to put them on once you've turned the corner.<<elseif $turn < 8>>.

<<set $time to 9.75>><<include "TIME">>Your gut sloshes around as you struggle to your feet, what remains of Anita still noisily churning away inside. Sam is already at the doors by the time you steady yourself, opening one just a crack so that she can peer outside. "I don't see anyone out here, but she'll hear you coming a mile away with that gut. Stay here and I'll go check around the corner," she says as you make your way over to her. You nod, absentmindedly rubbing your belly while she disappears outside to check. After less than a minute she comes back, beckoning for you to come with her. "We should be good, I just saw her go into a room upstairs," Sam says as the two of you head back down the hall. "As long as we hurry we'll be gone before she can come looking for your big 'ol belly." "Alright then, lets get out of here," you tell her. The moment you round the corner, the two of you practically break into a full on sprint towards the door, or at least as close to a sprint as you can manage with the added weight of Anita. The janitor is nowhere to be seen as you make your exit through the glass doors and back into the courtyard. "Whew, that really worked up an appetite. I've gotta find another straggler..." Sam mutters. The two of you stopped to catch your breath by the fountain. You're a bit queasy from running with such a full stomach, but it's already starting to settle now that you've stopped. "I'm sure there'll be more easy targets," you reassure her. "Shouldn't be too hard to lure someone away during the tour." "Yeah, you're probably right, tubs," she jokes, poking your stomach.

"It looks like everyone else is already checked in. Or 'occupied'," you add, prodding your gut. "Yeah, let's get going." [[Head to the front desk->September 1st- Front Desk 3]]

"-so they only hire women, and usually pretty strong predators at that," Sam says as the two of you walk towards the front desk. You'd inquired as to how she knew the custodian was a girl if she hadn't seen her. "Oh geez, where have you two been!" a flustered, rather plump woman calls out from behind the desk. While it's subsided quite a bit by now, she can undoubtedly hear <<if $ateAnita>>your<<else>>Sam's<</if>> stomach at work. Pausing for a moment to look at the distended belly in front of her, the secretary gets a slight smile on her face and continues: "Ah, out on the hunt already? Always lose a few before orientation. I used to have that kind of energy in my early years too... ID please," she says, stopping herself from wasting time reminiscing. Sam hands hers over. <<if $ateAnita>>"Did we miss the presentation?" she asks.<<else>>"Yeah, I just didn't //*hic*// think I could make it through this presentation on an empty stomach," Sam says, patting her gut with a smile. "We didn't miss it did we?"<</if>> "You're really cutting it close, but no, if I can hurry you along you should make it just in time" the woman says as she assembles a group of papers. "You girls wouldn't happen to know who it was that's in there, would you?

I'd be careful of that girl you were with. I've seen her type before, eating someone before even coming to check in.

From the looks of it most of the students are already here, filling the room with the jumbled noise of dozens of conversations taking place at once.

Most of the floor is taken up by rows of chairs, broken up into three sections by two slightly inclined walkways leading down towards the stage. There are a few seats filled already, mostly girls sitting alone on their phones, but a few are chatting quietly. You take an isolated seat towards the top of the middle section and start to look through the folder you were handed while you wait for the presentation. As the woman said, inside you find a sheet of paper with your username and password for the school website, two schedules, and a map of the campus with your assigned dorm marked. Looks like it's in the west wing of this building, with someone named "Emma Malody" written down as your roommate. Hopefully the two of you are a good match.

"Awesome, I'm Emma! We're roomies!" she says with a grin, holding up the map from her folder. Sure enough you see your name next to the dorm. "How crazy is it that we checked in back to back like that! I tried to get your attention at the front desk but you weren't looking." "Oh, sorry," you lie. Before you can say anything else, a voice starts to come through the speakers and fill the room.

One girl can't seem to look away, so you make eye contact with her and lick your lips. She immediately blushes and turns back toward the stage.<<else>>You hear some girl from the left side of the room push out a loud belch to back up her point. Looking around, you can see two or three girls that are sporting distended bellies.<<if $emmaRel > 0>> "Woah, that's nuts! I couldn't imagine not even making it to check in..." Emma whispers.<</if>><</if>> "Let me take this opportunity to make our rule very clear: Unless specifically told otherwise by a teacher or faculty member, there are ''no'' repercussions for eating your fellow students. Think of it as a constant test of your abilities: We only want the best here, and if you can't avoid falling prey to your classmates, that's not you. So stay on your guard. That said, I sincerely hope that I'll see you all survive to the end of your time here--you have bright futures ahead of you, and I'd hate to see any of them squandered. I'm going to pass the mic off to one of our best teachers, Ms. Juniper, for the rest of our presentation, but once again, all of you, congratulations! And good luck." The headmistress waves at the crowd of students before stepping aside and quickly walking offstage. She'd had a smile and seemed excited while she was talking, but you catch her face draining to almost a scowl the moment she isn't facing the crowd. A slightly chubby woman with a massive bust steps up to take her place. She's wearing a frilly blue dress.<<if !$offCourse>> "Ooo, I love that dress..." Emma murmurs next to you. <</if>>"Thank you, Evelyn, and hello everyone! I'm Professor Juniper, most of you will have me for Introduction to Vore," she says in a bubbly voice. "I hope you're as excited for today as I am! It's all about you today, the upperclassmen won't check in until tomorrow morning." The woman continues with the presentation, putting a slideshow up on a screen above the stage for everyone to follow along with. <<if $time is 10>>She starts by reviewing the schedule for the day: After this presentation is a tour of the campus, then around one everyone will break for lunch, followed by dorm check-ins. Then the day will finish with a cookout in the courtyard, where you'll also have the chance to choose a club to join.<<else>>She starts by reviewing the schedule for the day you already saw for everyone.<</if>> Next she goes over the class schedule. First semester, everyone is enrolled in the same four classes: Introduction to Vore, Survival, Escapism, and Anatomy and Physiology. No one gets to choose an elective until the second semester, and even then only one, though the choices will open up after your first year. She continues for quite some time, going over all the basic information about the school like how meals work and rules of the campus other than "you can eat students", as well as a warning that come tomorrow the upperclassmen will definitely be on the hunt. They call it the "Monday Massacre", apparently they lose at least a quarter of the freshmen class on that first day almost every year. Finally, it seems like it's time for the tour. "And I think... that's it!" she chirps as she reaches the end of the slideshow. "Thanks for sticking with me everyone, now it's time for the tour! Group one if you'd get up and follow the lovely Professor Slate" she says, gesturing to a brown-haired woman in a grey suit at the top of the left walkway. She has her arms crossed and doesn't look thrilled to be here. "Group two you'll be with me, so sit tight!" Professor Juniper says as the first group gets up and takes their leave of the room. "And now group three, you'll be going with our school nurse Jenna!" The students on the right side rise to their feet and start to shuffle towards the exit, following the slightly grey-haired nurse out of the room. "Alright group two I'm coming down, lets get this show on the road!" she says, hopping off the stage and hurrying up to the exit. "C'mon guys, on your feet! We don't have to go far, we're checking out Karbo Hall first!" she shouts, making sure everyone can hear her without the mic. <<if $offCourse>>[[Follow her->September 1st- Tour: Karbo]]<<else>>You stand up to follow and Emma grabs your hand.

<<set $time to 11>><<include "TIME">><<if !$offCourse>>"Let's go, $name!" Emma says excitedly as she guides you towards the door. The two of you end up at the front of the pack, the other thirty or so students in your tour group trailing behind you.<<else>>You get up from your seat to head for the door, ending up trailing behind most of the group. There are about thirty or so other students crowding the exit.<</if>> "Alright, everyone up? Let's roll out!" Professor Juniper says with a grin, leading the group out into the hall. "Can everyone hear me? We'll be checking out Karbo first, like I said, then we're hitting Lampton, and finishing in the sports complex, got it?" Several students nod or make vague sounds of approval, following her down a hallway to the left of the auditorium door.<<if $fullness > 2>>The groaning of your bulging belly has drawn the attention of the other students, all of them giving you a wide berth and eyeing you warily.<</if>> "A little fun fact for you: Karbo Hall is the oldest building on the campus! Years ago the school was just this one building, but over time we've sized up the operation, expanding this building quite significantly and of course constructing the other hall and the sports complex. Almost all of your classes will be taken here, which is what we're going to check out now!" she says, stopping in front of a door labeled "Room 115". "As you can see, and probably noticed on your way to the presentation, most of the rooms in this building are classrooms. This right here is where I teach Intro to Vore," she explains, unlocking the door and gesturing for everyone to go inside.<<if !$offCourse>> "Ooo, I love the lighting in here..." Emma says as the two of you step into the room. Afternoon sunlight is flooding the room from the far wall, providing enough illumination that Professor Juniper left the lights off.<</if>> "There are a few more specialized rooms upstairs, but most of the classrooms are more or less set up just like this one," she continues as everyone shuffles into the room. There are windows and cabinets lining the wall opposite the door and a few rows of small desks spread across most of the floor. The desks all face towards a large whiteboard at the front of the room, with a larger desk for Professor Juniper off to the side. "Classes work a bit different here than you might be used to: they run between one and a half to two hours, depending on the subject--and of course, the number of classmates you have tends to change pretty often," the professor says with a slight laugh. "We usually start each section at around thirty though, so this group is about what you should expect to see on your first day." "Alright, unless anyone has any questions, lets keep it moving," she continues after a brief pause, marching back through the door and gesturing for the students to follow. <<if !$offCourse>>As the group starts to filter out of the room, you notice that Emma isn't next to you anymore. You spot her on the other side of the room, playing with the blinds on one of the windows. "What are you doing?" you ask as you break the flow of students to rejoin her. "Check this out, there's this cool pattern cut into the window shade!" she answers, retrieving a phone from her bra to take a picture. You can see what she's talking about--when the blinds are closed there's a pattern of spirals and waves made from small pinholes in the plastic that still shine through. "Neat," you tell her. The last few students are exiting the room, but you notice out of the corner of your eye that you aren't the only straggler. A short brunette, after checking that the professor was gone, snuck over to her desk to grab a whiteboard marker, and doesn't seem to plan on leaving anytime soon. "Alright, we probably shouldn't fall too far behind," she says, stowing her phone. <<link "Hang on a second, I have an idea">> <<set $stamina -= 5>> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<goto [[Tour: Karbo- Eat Mandy (w/Emma)]]>> <</link>> [[Yeah, let's go->September 1st- Tour: Karbo 2]]<<else>>You start to follow, but then you notice out of the corner of your eye that one girl, a short brunette, is hanging back by the teacher's desk. Curious, you slow down and linger in the middle of the room as the rest of the group filters out into the hall. Once Juniper is completely out of sight, the girl grabs a whiteboard marker that was left on her desk and sneaks over to the righthand side of the board. <<link "She looks tasty">> <<if ($fullness + 4) <= $maxFullCap>> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to false>> <<set _baseline to 10>> <<set _modifier to 0>> <<set $stamina -= 0>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto "Tour: Karbo- Eat Mandy">> <<else>> <<goto "Tour: Karbo- Fail">> <</if>> <<else>><<append "#text">>You lick your lips, sensing the perfect opportunity for a meal, but a groan from your stomach brings you back to reality.

It looks similar to the hall below, lined with numbered wooden doors on either wall, except you can see another hall branching off on the righthand wall after only five doors. "Welcome to the second floor, everyone! Much more exciting than the first, I know," Professor Juniper says. "We're gonna head across this bridge here to Lampton Hall while I tell you about dorms," she instructs, ushering everyone around the corner on the right. The hallway bridging the two buildings feels much more open than the rest of the halls you've been in, lined with windows on not only both walls, but the ceiling as well. "So we won't actually be taking a look in any of the dorms because you'll be checking in in just a few hours anyway, but I still have some things to go over," she continues, facing the group and slowly walking backwards across the bridge. "As you all know, here at MVA we require every student to stay on campus, and you actually already have your dorm assignments in the folder you were given at the front desk. All dorms are doubles and are split between Lampton Hall and the west wing of Karbo Hall. We generally try to keep freshmen in Karbo for their own protection, isolated from the more experienced upperclassmen and closer to where their classes will be, but in recent years the number of accepted students has gone up and we simply don't have the space so a small number of you will unfortunately have to fare in these first few rooms over on the Lampton end," she says, stopping at the end of the bridge and gesturing to the doors behind her. "The first ten dorms, to be exact: there are only forty in Karbo, so the way we do it is the last twenty students to be accepted are paired up and placed into the Lampton dorms by admissions." "Are you serious? That's bullshit!"<<if $mandyEscaped != "ignored">> a girl wearing a frilly black skirt and a red tube top a little ways ahead of you says, stamping her foot. She has shoulder length black hair with a slight curl at the ends, though you can't see her face.<<else>> the girl with the distended gut shouts.<</if>> "//My// dorm is over here, but I applied early and I'm basically a prodigy! How the hell was I accepted so late, I should have been one of the first!" There's a sudden shift in her demeanor--from bratty rant to smug superiority. "Hmph, whatever, I'll be better off than whoever else of you losers ended up on this end. I'm probably better than the upperclassmen that live on this floor anyway."<<if !$offCourse>> "Wow, someone's really full of it," Emma whispers to you.

"And here we are at the last stop for the tour- Aesir Hall!" Professor Juniper announces as the group shuffles into the building's lobby. "Usually it's just referred to as 'the sports complex', and for good reason! Although we don't actually offer much in the way of competetive sports, this building has several facilities used for clubs, classes, or even just leisure." <<if $offCourse>>Unlike most of the students in the group, you're already aquainted with the sports complex. It looks the same as it did earlier, if maybe a bit cleaner.<<if $eatenByCustodian>> You feel a bit uneasy standing in the entryway, wondering if the custodian from earlier might still be in here.<</if>> Professor Juniper starts to lead the group down the hall toward the pool.<<else>>The doors lead into a spatious hallway open all the way to the second story of the building, lined with windows along the upper wall that fill the area with natural light. Across from the door are two staircases leading up to a walkway on the second floor. To the left is a bathroom and what looks to be a supply closet, marked "Staff Only". On your right, the hallway continues on, with a sign indicating that it's the way to the pool area. Professor Juniper starts to walk down this way, the group following close behind.<</if>> "There are quite a few facilities Aesir has to offer. We've got the main gym that we'll be checking out later, and going around it on the upper floor is an indoor track. There's also a 'weight room' upstairs," Juniper explains, making air quotes with her fingers. "That's what the school calls it anyway, but it's really just a general workout space, there isn't much in the way of equipment. There are a few bikes and treadmills though! Down the way that we're heading, as you've probably noticed by the signs or the smell, is a pool!"<<if !$offCourse>> "Ugh, I hate the smell of chlorine..." Emma mutters. "Really? I've always found it kind of calming," you respond. "Seriously? It almost feels like it's burning my nose, that's not calming at all!" "Well, my mother was a mermaid so I grew up in the town pool, I guess it just brings back memories," you joke. Emma silently snickers a bit, but shakes her head at you like you'd just made a pun.<</if>> <<if !$offCourse>>Professor Juniper<<else>>She<</if>> stops at a set of double doors just around the corner. "And here we are! Along the wall to the right you'll see two doors: The first one right across from the pool entrance is the locker room, which should be self explanatory, and way down there at the end of the hall is another private workout room that some classes will make use of." She pushes through the doors on her right into the pool area, holding the door open for everyone else to make their way in. "We'll just take a quick peek in here. No classes actually use the pool, but we have a swim team here--the only sport that our school actually competes with others in! It's just a once per semester thing, but still exciting for anyone who's interested in that! The pool is also open between three and eight every day except Wednesday for anyone that just wants to come take a dip." <<if $offCourse and ($fullness is 0)>>You've been hanging toward the back of the group, looking rather disinterested<<if $samRel != 0>> since you've already been in here<<else>> since you've already checked out this building<</if>>. Something suddenly taps your shoulder, making you jump a bit and swing your head around to find the source. There's a girl right behind you, clearly trying to get your attention. She looks indian, with somewhat dark skin, brown eyes, and long black hair put into a thick braid. "Hey, psst. You look as bored with this as we are, you wanna sneak off to the locker room with us to dick around?" she asks, gesturing to a group of three other girls standing off to the side. Two of them--a black girl with braided hair and a short blonde with her hair in a bun--wave and give you a thumbs up with big grins, while the other--a pale girl with long auburn hair wearing a hoodie--is on her phone not paying attention. [[Go with them->Tour: Aesir- Locker Room]] <<link "Turn her down">><<replace "#choice">>"Uh, sorry but I think I'll pass" you tell her<<if $eatenByCustodian>>, not wanting to risk getting caught somewhere you aren't supposed to be in this building again after what happened earlier<</if>>. She frowns and sags her shoulders a bit. "Fine, whatever, just don't rat on us," she says, walking away back towards her little posse. You turn your attention back to the tour just as Professor Juniper finishes. "So, that's the pool then! Let's head back to the entrance and check out the gym," she says. [[Continue with the tour->September 1st: Tour: Aesir 2]]<</replace>><</link>><<else>>You take a look around the room while some girl up front asks about the pool schedule. The walls are white and rather barren other than a few purple and white banners hanging beneath the windows on the far side from where you came in. Most of the floor space is taken up by the pool, which doesn't appear to have its swim lanes set up at the moment. Curiously, there's a chair labeled "lifeguard" at the opposite end of the room, but it's a completely normal foldable chair, which isn't even all that close to the water, with a pile of magazines on a table next to it. Water safety must not be all that important to the school staff. "So, that's the pool then! Let's head back to the entrance and check out the gym," Professor Juniper says.

It's all a bit exhausting despite how short it is with the extra weight you're carrying. Stepping through the door, you find the hall crowded and bustling with activity. A few people at nearby tables give you a weird look. Before you can do anything, Professor Juniper starts to make an announcement. "Everyone, attention please!" she shouts over the crowd. "Thank you, I hope you're all enjoying lunch! You can still hang out a while longer, but the buffet will be closing in a few minutes because it's time for dorm check-ins! So when you're finished, please head on over to the room listed in your folder. There should be a faculty member in the hall for you to check in with to get your key and make sure everything's in order!"

On closer inspection you notice that it's the same woman that was at the front desk earlier--you must need to check in with her. After the other girls move on to go to their room, you step up.

You slide the key in only to find that it's already unlocked--duh, she said your roommate was already in here. Time for introductions. You gently open the door, revealing the surprisingly spacious, but not //too// spacious, room within. There's a bed along both walls, elevated off the ground enough to have a short dresser beneath them. At the end of one bed the wall juts out to create room for a closet, and at the end of the other, which has all of your luggage piled on top of it, is a table with a TV on it. There's an open door at the back that looks like it leads to a bathroom. Kneeling beside the bed to your right, moving clothes from a bag into the dresser, is a girl with slightly curled blonde hair dyed orange at the fringes. Her skin is lightly tanned and she's wearing a pair of orange short shorts with a light blue tank top. She turns to look as soon as you open the door, then rockets to her feet with an excited look in her eyes. "HEY!! I'm Emma, you must be $name!" she practically screams. It looks like she's about to go for a hug for a second, but she <<if $fullness > 2>>suddenly seems apprehensive when she notices your belly<<else>>pulls herself back<</if>> and offers out a hand instead. "It's great to finally meet you!" "Yep, that's me! Nice to meet you!" you say, shaking her hand. "This room is like, really nice... I'm impressed." "I know right! The bathroom back there even has a shower!" "Woah shit what? We get our own personal shower? That's crazy!" "Totally! I guess they thought having shared showers could be too dangerous." "That makes some sense," you reply, moving over to your bed to start going through your things. Emma is still turned toward you with a huge grin, not returning to the work she was doing. "Omigod this is great! Alright tell me everything about yourself: what's your favorite color? Who's your favorite band? Oh! Duh, we're at MVA, here's a good one--how many people have you eaten?" she babbles, giving you a curious look after settling on that last question.<<if $fullness > 2>> "I mean, at least one obviously."<</if>> "<<if $fullness > 2>>Haha yeah, I've already left my mark on our class.

How did you even get in?" Emma replies, almost seeming to let out a sigh of relief. You give her a blank stare before trying to defend yourself. "Hey!

"I mean I'm at pretty much the same--that I remember eating anyways. I've woken up with some mysterious new pudge after a wild night more than once." "Bit of a party girl, are you?" "Hell yeah! Are you not!?" she replies. "Well, I don't really get invited to many..." you admit. "Wait really? You seem awesome though! Don't you worry, 'soon as I'm settled in imma get to work burning this campus to the ground," she laughs. "And what kind of roomie would I be if I didn't get you in on the action?" she says with a grin. You smile back--it seems like you may have lucked out on your roommate selection, the two of you are really hitting it off. You continue chatting with her for a while, talking about your interests--she gets stuck rambling for a bit about how much she loves the color blue--and what your hopes are for the school year. You lose track of how much time has passed while you've been slowly getting your luggage sorted. <<Emma 1>> "Oh man, time really flies! The cookout is starting already," Emma says, checking her phone. The two of you had just finished settling on the best way to position the tv so that you could both see it from your beds. "Damn, it feels like we just got here," you say. "I've actually still got one more bag to go through that I skipped over, why don't you go ahead without me." "Alright then, I am itching to find out what they've got set up," Emma says, heading for the door. "I'll see you there, $name!" You wave to her as she makes her exit, before getting to work on your final bag. Just more clothes that you'd forgotten to unpack earlier. It doesn't take very long and it probably wouldn't have been a big deal for Emma to wait, but<<if !$offCourse>> it might be for the best to split up for a bit anyway, get a chance to meet some other people.<<else>> you can just meet back up with her there.<</if>> [[Head to the courtyard for the cookout->September 1st- Cookout 1]]<<else>>You follow Emma back into the courtyard from the front entrance to Lampton, heading for Karbo Hall. "I assume you know where we're going? I don't remember what room it said we are," you say. "Of course!<<if $emmaRel > 1>> I always know where I'm going, $name<</if>>" she replies<<if $emmaRel > 2>>, sticking her tongue out at you<</if>>. "We're in K132, I made sure I found it while we were on the tour." The two of you continue into Karbo and back down the main hallway, trusting that Emma does actually know what she's doing. Before long you're in the first floor residence hall. You spot a woman with a clipboard standing in the middle of the hall talking to two other girls. On closer inspection you notice that it's the same woman that was at the front desk earlier--you must need to check in with her. After the other girls move on to go to their room, you and Emma immediately step up. "Hello, I'm Emma Malody and this is $name $last! We're K132!" Emma says excitedly before you can even start to speak. "Oh yes, I remember you from this morning! I hope the tour went well," the woman answers with a smile. "Now let's see here..." she says, scanning through her clipboard. "Ah here we are! K132, you're both checked in!" she continues, making a mark on her list then fishing through a bag for your keys. "Here you go, your room's down there by the corner. The luggage you dropped off has already been brought in, you can go ahead and get settled!" she says, handing you the key. "Oh, and in case you missed the sign those double doors at the end of the hall lead to the laundry room." "Thank you!" Emma chirps, taking one of the keys from her. As soon as you've taken yours, she grabs your arm and rushes you over to the door to your dorm. "This is it, let's see where we'll be living from now on! I'm too excited, you unlock it!" "Easy now, it's just a room," you say, using your key to open the door. "Nuh-uh, it's //our// room! And--oh wow, it's GREAT!" she says as the two of you step into the room. The room is surprisingly spacious, though not //too// spacious. There's a bed along both walls, elevated off the ground enough to have a short dresser beneath them. At the end of one bed the wall juts out to create room for a closet, and at the end of the other, which has all of your luggage piled on top of it, is a table with a TV on it. At the back of the room is another door. "Definitely better than I thought it would be," you say. "I was picturing like a bunk bed in a cramped room." <<if $emmaRel > 2>>"For the record, I //absolutely// would have the top bunk if that was the case,"<<else>>"You gotta have a bit more faith!"<</if>> Emma replies as she walks through the room. "Now what's back here..." "Probably a bathroom, I didn't see any kind of communal one in either dorm hall on the tour," you suggest, heading over to the bed to start unpacking your things. "Well that's one point for you because--OH MY GOD!" "What?" "There's a SHOWER in here!!" Emma squeals. "Oh shit we get a personal shower? That's awesome!" "I know! I was excited at just the bathroom, this school really doesn't disappoint!" Emma says, returning from the bathroom to start looking through her own luggage. "I guess they thought having shared showers would be a bad idea given the circumstances," you say. "Y'know, that's a good point!"<<if $emmaInquiry1 is 1>> As you both start to put your clothes away in the dressers beneath the bed, something about your conversation at lunch suddenly pops back into your head. When Kayla was grilling you about eating Mandy, Emma had seemed almost like she didn't actually want to back you up, and that stuck out to you considering she helped you do it. <<link "Ask about it">><<replace "#choice">> "Hey Emma? There's something that's kinda been bugging me," you say. "What's up $name?" Emma says, pausing her work and looking over at you. "So you know how at lunch that girl Kayla was all upset with me for eating someone already?" "Yeah," she replies, shifting in place a bit. "Well, you seemed like you really wanted to take her side, even though you, y'know, helped with Mandy," you say. "What was up with that? Or am I just being stupid?" Emma sighs. "I'm sorry, I wanted to have your back but I kinda... //did// agree with her. I mean, like I said earlier I really only eat people that really deserve it. So, in my opinion, she had a good point--it does seem rude to be going after people that have barely even seen the school. Like, we didn't even know anything about Mandy," she explains, fidgeting with one of her hands. "But you seemed so on board earlier<<if $emmaRel > 2>>, I would have passed on it if you'd said something<</if>>," you reply, now also stopping your unpacking efforts. "Yeah I know it's just... I really wanted to make a good impression with you since we're roomies, and knowing anyone going here would be pretty... voracious? I guess I just didn't want to seem like a stick in the mud so I rolled with it." "Hey, don't ever do anything you don't want to on my account. And if it makes you feel better, 'stick in the mud' is the last thing I'd think to describe you as," you say, giving her a smile. "Heh, thanks," she says, returning your smile. It almost looks like her eyes are getting watery. "So we're cool then?" you ask. "Of course we're cool," she replies.<<if $emmaRel < 4>> <<Emma 1>><</if>><<set $emmaInquiry1 to 2>><<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">><</replace>><</link>> <<link "Let it go">><<replace "#choice">> Thinking about it, you decide it's probably nothing worth worrying about.

You don't realize how much time is passing as you slowly get all your things packed away and set about organizing and rearranging the room with Emma. "Oh man, time really flies! The cookout is starting already!" Emma says with a start, checking her phone. The two of you had just finished settling on the best way to position the tv so that you could both see it from your beds. "Damn, it feels like lunch just ended," you say. "I've actually still got one more bag to go through that I skipped over, why don't you go ahead without me." "Alright then, I am itching to find out what they've got set up," Emma says, heading for the door. "I'll see you there, $name!"

You can't help feeling a little bad about not helping, but it wasn't necessarily your place to step in anyway. On the bright side of things, the food is actually pretty good and takes your mind off of it. Without Emma though, you get bored pretty quickly at the cookout and decide to turn in for the night. You head back through the halls of Karbo to your dorm, unlocking the door and stepping inside. <<if $emmaRel > 1>>The quiet of the room immediately reminds you that Emma probably isn't coming back<<else>>The room is quiet without Emma, but you can't help being a little excited when you realize that you probably have the entire room to yourself now<</if>>. You plop down on your bed and pull out your laptop to pass the time. Not long after, however, you hear someone frantically unlock the door and a half naked, slimy Emma barges into the room. "Emma!?" you say, legitimately surprised to see her again after how easily she went down. She doesn't say anything intelligible in response, instead frantically throwing an outfit together and rushing into the bathroom. You hear the shower start a few second later. She really takes her time, but eventually she steps back out of the bathroom wearing pajama pants and a blue shirt that you could swear was identical to the first one she had on. "So, uh, what happened?" you ask her. "Are you okay?" "Ooooh, it was awful," she moans. "This horrible jerk at the cookout wouldn't leave me alone and then she... she ate me, $name! I've never been swallowed by someone that didn't plan on letting me out before, it was terrifying, it was... it..." she trails off. "$name, why didn't you help me? I saw you, you were there, I called out, but..." A spark of adrenaline flashes through your veins and you start to hear your heart beating in your ears. There's no way you can admit that you completely ignored her and just bailed. "W-What? I don't remember seeing you at the cookout at all, let alone in the middle of being eaten. Of course I would have done something if I was there!" She's staring straight into your eyes with a heavy gaze. You can tell she's at least a little skeptical. "Promise?" "...Yeah, of course!" you say, feeling your heart start to race. "Alright, I trust you," she says, slouching over. "I guess I was just panicking and thought someone else was you..." "Well, I'm sorry that happened, but at least you came out on top, right?" you say, breathing a subtle sigh of relief. "Yeah, I guess. Just not how I wanted my first day to go..." she says. "I think I'm probably gonna turn in early." True to her word, she's in bed and asleep by eight, clearly ready for the day to be over. You only make it another hour or so before you feel your eyes starting to grow heavy too.<<elseif $emmaDitchedCookout is 2>><<set $time to 18.75>><<include "TIME">>You're impressed with how quick Emma was able to move, as at no point on your way back to the dorm is she even in sight. When you reach the door to your dorm and step inside, you hear that the shower is already running. This is where her speed ends, however, as it takes almost a half hour before she steps back out into the room. "Emma! How are you doing?" you ask. "Much better now! But still... that was horrible. I've never been swallowed by someone that didn't plan on letting me out before! I didn't realize it was //that// bad when it's all worked up," she says, dropping back onto her bed with a hand over her own stomach. "Ugh and that jerk was drinking lemonade while I was in there, that was the worst part..." "I bet, eating and drinking while you have live prey has gotta be against some predator code or something..." you reply. "I'm just glad you're okay." "Thanks so much for the assist by the way! I don't think I even thanked you back there I was so grossed out," she says. Then she slowly sits up, a worried look on her face. "But, I have to ask $name. Why didn't you help me in the first place? You were there when I was getting eaten, I called out..." Your heart starts to beat faster. "I... I froze, I'm sorry," you say. Not entirely true, but it's better than lying about being there at all. "That whole situation totally caught me off guard and I didn't know what to do." To your relief, Emma smiles. "I understand, it was a really sudden thing! You still got me out in the end, and that's all that really matters," she says.<<if $emmaRel < 4>> <<Emma 1>><</if>> "Well, I don't care how early it is, after that I'm done for the day," Emma says, collapsing back on her bed again.

Emma smiles and drops back onto her bed with her arms out. "Well, it got a little rocky at the end there, but today was a pretty solid start to the year! And I am BEAT!" she says. "Yeah, same here. I usually stay up pretty late, but something about today totally drained me," you say. Emma suddenly bolts up. "Dibs on the shower!" "Hah, no worries. I'm a morning showerer," you reply. "Enjoy sleeping in your filth then, weirdo," she jokes as she gathers her things and heads to the bathroom. "You don't mind if I just leave my shampoo and stuff in here, do you?" she asks, poking her head around the doorframe. "Go for it." "Awesome," she replies, closing the door.

"She tasted really good..." is the only thing you can think to respond with, though you immediately realize it was stupid to say. "Unbelievable... I...

And sorry about //this//" you add, lightly patting your gut. "It feels kinda rude to you now..." Emma sighs. "No, I'm sorry, I'm being kind of a butt for no real reason," she says. She walks over to you and puts a hand on your exposed belly. "Just feels like a reminder of what almost was right now, y'know? But I'm happy the cookout went so well for you! Though it's gonna be annoying to get to sleep with this thing going." She gives your gut a playful slap, grinning as it gurgles. "Heh, it'll probably calm down soon," you say.

The girl is oblivious to your presence, doodling some strange creature in the corner of the board with the marker she found. You decide your best option is to take her by surprise. Being careful not to make a sound, you sneak past the desk and approach her from the right. Just as you're about to grab her, your stomach lets out a tremendous growl that practically echoes through the room. The girl immediately snaps her head towards you and drops the marker. For a brief moment you both pause and stare at each other, then she bolts for the door. Unwilling to lose your meal, you lunge forward and tackle her to the ground, landing in an awkward position face down on her back. "OW! Get off me!" the girl cries. You grab her shoulder and pull back to flip her onto her back, being careful to keep her pinned. In a surprisingly agile maneuver she brings her knees up to her chest through the slight gap between your bodies and tries to kick you off, but you hug her tight before there's a chance for her to extend them again. "Stop! Let me go!" she shouts again. "Nice try, but you're mine" you tell her. You pull off her sneakers before continuing- you can stomach shoes, but not as the first thing you taste. Using your bodyweight to keep her in the scrunched up position she's assumed, you carefully guide her feet into your waiting mouth. "NO! PLE//MMPH//!" She tries to protest again, but you press one of your hands over her mouth, not wanting to leave a chance that she could get someone's attention. This frees one of her arms, but luckily she isn't that strong and you have no trouble keeping your overpowering position. You quickly work your way up her legs, taking in her surprisingly tasty flavor--perfectly salty without being gross and sweaty. After a few gulps you reach her knees, leaving you in a fairly awkward spot the way she's positioned. However, you feel her start to slide in deeper as her legs almost reflexively unfold into your mouth. You moan slightly and run your tongue along her exposed flesh, enjoying the blissful feeling of her practically feeding herself to you. It only lasts for a brief moment before you have to take control again. Before long her rear pops into your mouth, and with only the taste of clothes to look forward to now you pick up the pace. Her eyes are watering and you can hear her sniffling, but you keep your hand planted firmly over her mouth. Her right hand remains free as you move up her torso, still stubbornly trying to push you off. After only a few more swallows your lips are around her neck. "SOMEONE HE-!" she starts to cry out as you finally remove your hand, but with another gulp she's cut off by her mouth entering yours. One more swallow and everything but her forearm is sealed away. You roll over onto your back, taking the pressure off your expanding belly, before slurping up the last of her, running your tongue through her fingers until you feel them sliding down your throat. @@color:yellowgreen;You overpowered your prey.@@ "//*UUURRPP*// Ahhh, that was amazing" you say, air rushing up your throat into a burp as the last of your prey settles into your gut. "You tasted great" you taunt, patting the top of your belly.

"And this is important to know so make sure you remember!" she adds as she comes to a stop by the door you came out of from the front desk. "You see this little hall right across from the front desk? This is where both the nurse and headmistress's offices are. Unfortunately she's leading one of the tours so her room is locked up right now, but pretty much any other time this door will be open for anyone to come in," she says, gesturing to the door that says "nurse". "Whether you're sick or hurt, maybe burned from a recent escape, or even just looking for someone to talk to about something personal, Jenna is always happy to help however she can!" "Now miss Inedia's office is also here, but you'd better hope you never get to see the inside of it. Trust me, if you get called down here, the chances you //aren't// in trouble are very slim.

Not only is that a way upstairs, obviously, but this staircase will also put you right into the hall where all of the teacher's offices are, so until you really have a lay of the land I'd recommend you come this way if you need to see any of your professors. The syllabus you get on your first day should have the office hours for that class's teacher," she continues. After a few rather uninteresting questions, the tour continues. "Alright then, let's keep it moving! Back the way we came, we're heading for the west wing," Juniper calls out as she moves through the group.

Usually your professor will have a rule against it during class, but, while I don't usually condone it, I never said anything about the tour.

She pushes out a loud, very deliberate belch as she rejoins the group. You can't help but wonder if her prey was the girl you passed up. At the front of the pack, a girl immediately raises her hand. "Yes, you there!" Professor Juniper says. "Uh not really about the tour but, is she allowed to do that?" the girl asks, pointing at the other girl's bloated belly.

"Is she really giving you that much trouble?" Emma says, almost sounding optimistic. She places one of her hands on your gut, but jumps back as another surge of pain makes you double over and caress your belly. "I don't know what //*urp*// she's--//*hrk*//."

"No..." is all you manage to mutter before you're thrown into a fit of coughing and gagging. "Oh god wait is she really coming back up!? Ew!" Emma squeals, jumping to her feet and backing away.

She's not gonna last very long if she talks like that to the upperclassmen," you whisper back to Emma. "Hey, but at least she'll give whoever gets her some very smug boobs," she replies, the two of you stifling a laugh. The girl turns her head and glares in your direction, but doesn't say anything.<<else>>You decide to ignore the girl, you can already tell she's the type that just wants the attention. Plus, it probably wouldn't be worth the trouble of getting a jab in at her ego, you'd rather not make enemies on the first day<<if $mandyEscaped is "ignored">>, certainly not one who's already eaten someone before the introductory tour is over<</if>>.<</if>><</if>> <<if $aliceRel is 0>>"Right, well, sorry but I don't make those decisions," Juniper says to the girl, trying to move things along. <</if>>"Anyway, as I was saying, the first ten of these dorms, from here right across from the bridge down to the end of the hall that way," she points to the right, "are reserved for freshmen." Then she starts to walk down the hall to the left as she talks, gesturing for everyone to follow her. "Pretty much the rest of this floor houses sophomores. They also get assigned dorms, but can request a specific roommate, even an upperclassmen if they're both up for it." The hallway leads into the upper level of a large, open room. Up ahead on your left is a wide staircase leading down, with two moderate sized balconies filled with tables on either side and a set of glass double doors on the wall directly across from it on your right. You can see more dorm doors and what looks like another hall branching off to the right on the far wall. "Juniors and seniors don't have many restrictions, as long as they contact the office in time they can even request a specific room, though with a few exceptions they're only allowed something on the first floor of Lampton. And speaking of the office, that's what this is on our right here," she says, stopping in the middle of the walkway and waving a hand toward the glass doors. "This is the dual purpose mail room and help desk, usually just referred to as 'The Lampton Office'. Other colleges usually split things up into different divisions--registrar, bursar, whatever--but since we're smaller we just have the one clerk on duty here to field any concerns about the campus or registration. It's also where you'll come to pick up any mail that gets sent to you--the folders you got earlier have a shipping address for you to use." "Now, down that other hallway down there is just more dorms, so why don't we check out the dining hall!" she says, leading the group down the stairs. "This is where you'll have all your meals that //aren't// your classmates. Surprisingly enough we've actually had the least incidents between students here over the years, if you can believe it." You take a look around the massive room as you reach the bottom of the stairs--it's filled with a mix of small circular tables and long rectangular ones. Despite coming downstairs, the ceiling is still at the same height as the floor above, several supporting columns breaking through the sea of tables to support the daunting height of the room. An array of purple sound dampening panels hang from the ceiling. The upper half of the walls on either side are mostly windows, flooding the room with light, and on the left wall is what looks like the main entrance to the building. "Every day between eight and ten in the morning, noon to two in the afternoon, and five to eight in the evening that buffet line you can see down there," she gestures to the far side of the room, "will be filled with all sorts of food available to any of the students, the cost already covered by your tuition. You'll be back here once the tour is over for a special lunch with all the other freshmen, you can see them working on it in the back there now! The little doorway to the right of that area is the cafe, where you can buy snacks and drinks and that sort of thing anytime from ten to ten." "Okay then, we've just got one more stop here in Lampton. You'll notice that there's a door on either side of the wall behind the stairs here. These lead to the dorms on the lower level," she explains, ushering everyone into the door to the left of the staircase. "But it's also where the lounge is!" The door leads to a fairly large room with a tv, several couches, and a ping pong table. To the right is a hallway that bends around the corner and seems identical to the one upstairs. "The intent was to give students a communal place to relax indoors, but in reality since it's a secluded area that usually has no teachers nearby, it's actually one of the most dangerous places you can be if you aren't alert. It's basically a deathtrap for freshmen: You shouldn't risk hanging around here until you're a junior or senior. Down the other hall down there are more doubles just like upstairs, but in that area at the back of the lounge there are a few four-person suites available to upperclassmen. There's also a stairwell back there, but not at the end of the other hall to prevent any direct routes to the freshmen, because we're looking out for you guys," she says with an exaggerated smile.<<if !$offCourse>> "Maaan, I bet the seniors throw some great parties in there... I've gotta get good fast so I can get in on that action," Emma mumbles to herself.<</if>> "And that about does it for Lampton! Any questions before we move on?" A few of the girls ask fairly mundane questions about dorms and meal times, nothing of interest to you. Once it seems like no one else has anything to say, Professor Juniper continues. "Alright let's head to our last destination: The Aesir Sports Complex! Back into the dining hall and out the main door, we're crossing the courtyard to get there."

You hear a few gasps from the crowd and several of the girls jump back. "Oh, I'm happy to give a demonstration~" the girl hisses before leaning in with her mouth wide open. You try to squirm away or knock her off of you somehow, but its no use. Her wet mouth spreads over the top of your head, her lips greedily sliding down your face. You desperately try to free your arms, but no matter what you do you can't break her pin--you're helpless as she starts to pull you in deeper. With your head firmly in her throat, she leans back into a sitting position, making sure to keep your arms locked at your sides as she lifts you up over her. You kick your legs furiously as she starts to swallow you in deeper, but your efforts are wasted and no one from the group seems interested in helping you. Slowly but surely you're pushed down through the tight embrace of her esophagus and into the slimy pit of her stomach. @@color:orange;You have been overpowered.@@ Starting with your head, your body squeezes into the slimy walls, stretching out and expanding her gut as it does its best to accomodate the size of the meal it's been sent. Before long you're entirely sealed within the acrid tomb, your body curling up into an uncomfortable ball. You can feel the walls rippling around you as odd groans and gurgles begin to fill your ears. The stomach walls clamp down on you hard as your predator pushes out a triumphant belch. "Ah, thanks for the meal bitch, you really hit the spot!" she laughs. "You really should have kept your mouth shut." "//*sigh*// Did you really have to eat her Alice?" you hear the muffled voice of Professor Juniper say. "You're lucky I was distracted. I guess I'll make this a rule now: //''No'' eating students on the tour//. Now you, get on your feet, we still have two buildings to go." "Yeah, yeah, got it," Alice says. You feel her stomach shift around you as she rises back to her feet. "Keep staring and I'll make room for one more as soon as she's not looking," she snaps at some other girl from the group.

"Ow! Giv-//hnk//," Alice cries. "Fuck... not again..." She's interrupted by a dry heave followed by a fit of coughting. "You're food... //hurk// Stay. Down." she tries to command in a very strained tone. Inside, you're being pushed out much faster than before, your hands already breaching back into her mouth despite her attempts to swallow you back down. Before long you can feel the coolness of open air on your fingers, and in desperation you grip the sides of her mouth to pull yourself out, taking no chances. Between your pulling and the force of her stomach ejecting you, it only takes a few seconds for the majority of your body to return to freedom, Alice eventually giving up on holding you back down. Your feet are the last thing to exit your slimy prison, leaving you lying in a pool of acid on the floor. <<if $turn < 3>>You're drenched in the disgusting bile from Alice's stomach, but your clothing is intact and other than a bit of exhaustion, you don't feel much worse for wear.<<elseif $turn < 8>>You cough and sputter on the ground, completely coated in digestive fluids.

The other girl never comes back out, but you can see clumps of hair that definitely don't belong to you in the gross puddle spreading across the floor. "Ugh... Dis-//*cough*// Disgusting..." Alice mumbles, leaning against the wall clutching her still-swolen belly. "You fucking //*hack*// bitch! How-//hnk// How dare you!" your would-be predator grumbles, clearly in a lot of pain from your escape.<<else>>After a particularly well placed thrust of your arm, you hear Alice cry out in pain and the stomach walls begin to shudder around you. This could be it! "Are you all right Alice? Because if you continue to distract from the tour then I'll--Oh, actually it looks like the situation is about to resolve itself," you hear Professor Juniper say. "N-No, I've... I've got her..." Alice struggles to reply, clutching you through her stomach in some attempt to stop you from moving. "Just--//HRK//." She collapses forward onto her knees, dry heaving as her gut begins to shift and squirm. "Oh god gross! Why does it have to be where we can all see you!" you hear a girl from the group scream. Your head and shoulders start to push back up Alice's throat, the rest of your body not far behind. It's a painful squeeze, but before long you start to feel cool air on your face. Your head finally sprouts from hers, greeting the sea of eyes eagerly watching your escape, some looking mildly disturbed but others almost turned on. Once you've breached her mouth, Alice finally gives up on holding you back and the rest of you makes its exit from the slimy prison of her body quite quickly, leaving you lying in a pool of acid on the floor.<<if $turn < 3>>You're drenched in the disgusting bile from her stomach, but your clothing is intact and other than a bit of exhaustion, you don't feel much worse for wear.<<elseif $turn < 8>>You cough and sputter on the ground, completely coated in digestive fluids.

"As for you," she says to Alice, grabbing her right arm and pulling her to her feet, "we need to keep this tour moving, so get it together. You'll be sticking with me until we're done so I can make sure you keep out of trouble."

<<if $mandyEscaped is "ignored">>Just as you turn to leave, you hear a woman gasp in surprise. It's the woman from the front desk--Mary was it?--coming across the bridge from the other building. "Oh my, are you alright dear?" she asks, rushing over to you.

Luckily, you didn't see any sign of whatever tour group is in Karbo now, they must be either running behind or checking out one of the classrooms. Just like she said, you find a whole stack of plastic bags filled with school uniforms in the bottom right drawer of her desk. You take one and head for the bathroom. \<<else>> /* if mandy was not eaten by Alice */ You turn away from the group and hurry back across the bridge<<if $outfitState is "gone">>, still covering yourself as best you can as you run.

"Oh no, what happened dear?" the woman at the front desk cries when she sees you walk in.<<if $totalEscaped is 2>>There's a flash of recognition in her eyes as you get closer. "Oh honey, someone got you again already?

"<<if $totalEscaped is 2>>You know where the bathroom is."<<else>>The bathroom's right over there," she adds, pointing the way.<</if>> "Thank you," you say<<if $outfitState is "gone">> hurriedly, rushing off to the bathroom the moment the bag is in your hand<<else>>, taking the bag and heading for the bathroom<</if>>.<</if>> The door clicks shut behind you.

You notice a drain in the tile beneath the sink that the puddle beginning to form at your feet is flowing towards--giving you the realization that this is probably the primary use this particular bathroom gets. After a short while, you've gotten at least the majority of your body clean, though you still smell like the inside of a stomach. As you dry off using paper towels you look yourself over in the mirror. Now that you've cleaned up, you don't really look any worse for wear, only a few slight red patches on your arms and legs that don't even hurt to the touch. Once you're reasonably dry, you finally crack open the bag with the uniform<<if $totalEscaped is 2>>, quickly donning the outfit.<<else>>. The uniform is fairly standard for school attire--a white collared shirt with a grey jacket and a moderate length frilled navy skirt. To your surprise the bag also contains a set of plain black underwear--the bra is a size or two too big, but you can manage. You quickly don the new outfit, noticing that it has a slight lemon scent to it. Checking yourself out in the mirror, you decide that it's actually a pretty good look for you.<</if>> <<if $outfitState isnot "gone">><<if $totalEscaped is 2>>You throw the old, ruined uniform into the trash--no sense trying to salvage it when you have a new one.<<else>>You look down at the sad pile of your old clothes and decide to throw them in the trash, realizing that they're too far gone to bother with anymore. <</if>><</if>>Once you're all settled you step back out into the front hall<<if $mandyEscaped is "ignored">>, then head for the front door, assuming that it would be easiest to just meet up with your group again when they pass through the courtyard<</if>>. <<set $outfit to "uniform">><<set $outfitState to "normal">><<set $wardrobeUniform to true>><<set $knowUniform to true>><<if $mandyEscaped isnot "ignored">> "There you go, looking much better dear!" the woman at the front desk says with a smile.

"Hey $name, Anita still treating you well?" Sam asks, glancing down at your belly. "Heh, yeah, she's been churning up nice and good," you reply, grabbing your squishy, still fairly swollen gut and bouncing it lightly. "So what's up?" "Well, I've been doing more than just listening to Jenna drone on about dorms or whatever, and I think it's the perfect time for you to make good on that promise from earlier," she replies. "Oh yeah? I recall that promise being if we were in //the same// group," you say in fake annoyance. "//Pfft//, whatever, you still came over here," she says with a smirk. "So, I've been watching this one girl that's almost as perfect of a target as Anita was," she continues, pointing at a girl at the edge of the group with blonde pigtails and a pink blouse. "Not quite as dumb, I don't think she'd split off with just me, but she's been hanging in the back and definitely isn't all that interested in the tour. Plus she looks //delicious//." "Alright, so what's the plan then?" "So what I'm thinking is that we get her into that bathroom in the front hall. The only time she was into the tour, like asking questions and shit, was back when we were checking out the pool--she completely zoned out again when we left. Apparently that pool is a prey goldmine, because that's what I'm using to get her alone too," she explains. "I basically just need you here so that things don't seem as suspicious, I doubt she was paying attention enough to notice you weren't here before. We're gonna get her attention and say we're planning to bail to head back to the pool and ask if she wants in. Then we all hide in the bathroom so the nurse doesn't see us leave, you block the door, and I wolf her down. Sound good?" "Seems simple enough, I'm in. Better move quick though," you respond, the two of you having just entered back into the front hall at the back of the group. "Shit, yeah," Sam says, motioning for you to follow her over to the girl with pigtails. She taps the girl on the shoulder and whispers: "Hey, me and her are gonna sneak back to the pool before we die of boredom, you want in?" The girl looks back and forth between the two of you skeptically, her eyes drifting down to your stomach for a split second. "Why are you asking //me//?" she says, her arms crossed under her chest. "Because you look like you're about to fall asleep, everyone else but us looks at least a little engaged," Sam says. "Yeah, you got me there. Fuck it, lets do it," the girl replies, darting her eyes between you and Sam one last time before grinning. She starts to just head back toward the door, but you grab her arm. "Wait, the nurse is gonna notice us leaving if we use the door while she's still in here," you tell her. "I remember from earlier that there's a bathroom in the front hall, why don't we go in there one at a time then wait until the tour moves on?" The girl nods her head at you. "Yeah, that's smart. Alright you go first, then after a minute or so I'll go, then her," she replies. Sam squints her eyes a bit when the girl suggests a specific order. [[Go with it->Tour Interlude: Hannah Strikes]] [[Suggest Sam goes first->Tour Interlude: Sam 2]]

<<set $time to 12.75>><<include "TIME">><<set $metLeah to true>><<set $metSarah to true>><<set $metAlesha to true>><<set $tourLocker to true>>"Sure, why not?" you reply. With a group that large the offer seems genuine enough, and anything would be more exciting than the tour. Maybe it'll be a good opportunity to get to know some of your classmates. "Sweet, lets go!" the girl says with a smile, heading back to the trio of girls and beckoning for you to follow. The tour group continues into the pool area without anyone giving your new crew a second glance. "I'm Chandra by the way, what's your name?" "$name, nice to meet you," you tell her. "Aaah Hiii! I'm so glad you're coming with us, cutie!" the dark skinned girl says as you join up with the other group, practically jumping with excitement. She's wearing short black athletic shorts with orange highlights and an orange tank top. "Oh my god she's //so// cute right!? Hi!" the short blonde to her right chimes in, gripping the first girl's arm. She's got a loose white shirt on that's resting asymetrically, leaving her left shoulder and bra strap exposed, along with ripped jeans. The girl in the hoodie looks up from her phone and waves to you, but doesn't say anything. "Alright guys so this is $name and she's in," Chandra says to the group. "And $name, this is Alesha and Sarah," she points to the two overexcited girls, "and that's Leah. So there isn't really a plan other than not listening to Professor Juniper drone on anymore, but this'll be fun!" she explains, walking over to the locker room door. "Let's see what we got..." "Oh my god could you imagine if it was locked?" Sarah says as the rest of the group follows Chandra into the room. "That would be soo sucky!" Alesha answers, giggling. You enter into the room last, just behind Leah. The room, as the name would suggest, is filled with lockers. The left wall is barren, but on the right is an alcove ringed with grey lockers with a flat bench in the middle. There are two more identical alcoves behind it, each section divided by a row of lockers. At the far end of the room is a bathroom and what looks to be a few showers. The group stops by the middle section of lockers. "Wow, this is actually really nice. I was expecting something dinky after she said they don't even use the pool for class," Chandra says. "Yeah, I can dig it! Great idea Sare!" Alesha says, taking a seat on the bench. "Aw, thank's babe!" Sarah replies, dropping onto Alesha's lap with her arms hanging around the girl's shoulder. She kisses her on the cheek, giggling. "I thought you'd like it in here." "This is probably the only time I'll be in here. I don't know about you guys, but swimming is just not my thing," Chandra says. "Same, but for really just any kind of exercise," Leah chimes in for the first time. "Oh!" Sarah squeaks. "You're so bold Ali~..." "I kinda like swimming, that's what I did back in high school after they kicked me off the volleyball team," you reply. "Oh, drama! What got you kicked off?" Chandra says, a sparkle in her eyes. "Mmm... a little lower..." Alesha says breathily. There's an assortment of giggles and moans coming from the couple. "It's a funny story actually-" "Ah!" Sarah squeals. "Dammit is this the only reason you two wanted to come in here!?" Chandra snaps. Over on the bench, Sarah and Alesha are busy groping each other, along with some flirtatious kissing. So busy that they don't even react to Chandra's comment. Sarah's top comes off. "Fucking..! Alright c'mon Leah, $name, lets go somewhere else..." Chandra says with a look of disgust. She and Leah head over to the next section of lockers<<if $fullness is 0>> and you start to follow their lead, but just as they disappear behind the dividing lockers the other girls finally acknowledge that there are other people around. "Wait $name stay!" Sarah shouts to you, Alesha still kissing her neck with a hand firmly on her left breast. "I'm sure we can fit a cutie like you in here.~" You consider the offer, but you're not sure if this is the kind of thing you want to be getting up to on the first day. Not to mention, Chandra was starting to look very... appetizing, and she just gave you the perfect opportunity to strike.<<else>>. You linger for a moment, a bit caught off guard, and shortly after the two disappear from sight you hear a quickly stifled yelp followed by some odd shuffling from the other side of the lockers.<</if>> [[Follow Chandra and Leah->Locker Room: Leah]]<<if $fullness is 0>> <<link "Try to eat Chandra">> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to false>> <<set _baseline to 10>> <<set _modifier to 0>> <<set $stamina -= 10>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto "Locker Room: Eat Chandra">> <<else>> <<goto "Locker Room: Chandra Escapes">> <</if>> <</link>> <<link "Try to eat Chandra (Aggressive)">> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to true>> <<set _baseline to 10>> <<set _modifier to 0>> <<set $stamina -= 10>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto "Locker Room: Eat Chandra">> <<else>> <<goto "Locker Room: Chandra Escapes">> <</if>> <</link>> <<link "Take Sarah up on her offer">> <<set _checkType to "prey">> <<set _baseline to 10>> <<set _modifier to 4>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<goto "Eaten by Sarah">> <<else>> <<set $stamina -= 8>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto "Locker Room: Sarah Fails">> <</if>> <</link>><</if>> [[Actually this was a mistake->September 1st: Tour: Aesir 2]]

Taking a second to catch your breath, you notice that the tour group isn't in the pool room anymore. Rejoining them is probably your best bet, but you aren't sure where they might have gone next. You figure there probably hasn't been enough time for them to completely move on from the building and decide to head back to wait by the entrance. To your relief, as you round the corner you find the group having returned to the front hall and you're able to rejoin at the back without anyone taking much notice.<<elseif $lockerChandra is "fail">>Ignoring Sarah, you head back out of the locker room and into the hall. You notice that the group seems to have already left the pool, but you spot what looks like the tail end of the tour rounding the corner back toward the entrance. You run to catch up, hoping not to draw too much attention to yourself. Leah is also at the back of the group, not paying attention to you or the tour.<<else>>Deciding that coming along in the first place was definitely a mistake, you ignore both parties and rush back to the door.

"Here we are in the gymnasium! A few classes will make use of this space, and of course we have the volleyball team that meets in here. Most afternoons the gym is open for recreational use, with equipment like mats and nets available from that storage closet over there in the back corner, but unlike the pool the hours are less consistent so make sure you consult the sign outside the door." The room is pretty standard fare for a gymnasium--a spacious, open room with a glossy wooden floor painted with guidelines to be used for various sports or activities. Most of the upper walls are windows, but about halfway up the wall a platform rings the room, blocking out much of the light from above. To combat this, an array of flourescent lights is embedded in the bottom of the platform. On the far side of the room is a relatively small set of bleachers, which looks like it's doubling as a disguise for the storage closet.<<if $tourChandra>> For the first time since returning to the tour, you notice Chandra at the very front of the group. Her eyes are firmly locked on you, not Professor Juniper. There's a mix of fear and anger on her face<</if>> "Because of the size, this is also where pretty much any event hosted by the school that can't be done outdoors will be held. Now, we aren't actually going to go upstairs, but this raised platform you see circling around the gym is actually an indoor track that you can access from the second floor. As I mentioned before, there's also a general workout space on that floor, it's the only actual door up there so you should be able to find it without me pointing it out. Neither are used for any classes, so they're both open for use to all students any time that the building itself is open. And I'd encourage you to make use of them! Eating people doesn't always work wonders for your figure," Juniper jokes, poking at her own chubby stomach for emphasis. "Now, that's actually the end for our tour: You've seen everything that the college has to offer! I know it'll still take some time to really get the lay of the land, but I hope this has been helpful for you! Any final questions?" She pauses for a moment, but no one seems to have anything to add. "Alright then, lets get moving back to Lampton for lunch!" <<if !$offCourse>>[[Continue->Lunch: Emma]]<<else>>[[Continue->September 1st- Lunch]]<</if>>

Almost immediately you hear a stifled yelp and a strange commotion coming from the other side. Going to investigate, you round the corner just in time to see a pair of feet disappear into Leah's mouth. There's a look of pure ecstasy on her face for a moment as you watch Chandra's legs wriggle down her throat into her rapidly expanding belly, but then she notices you standing there. She blushes and makes an attempt to hide her face in her hoodie. "Oh uh, he--//*UURRRP*//... hi," Leah mumbles. "$name, right?" She's sitting on the floor in the back of the alcove, propped up against the lockers. Most of her squirming, Chandra-filled belly is surprisingly still covered by her hoodie, only the lower third or so peeking out beneath the maroon fabric. "Yeah..." you reply. <<link "It's just not Chandra's day">><<append "#text">><<set $counter to 1>> "So uh, not really Chandra's day, huh?" you say, taking a seat on the bench near her. "Heh, yeah guess //*uurp*// not..." Leah replies. You notice that she's taken her arms out of the sleeves of her hoodie and is rubbing her gut underneath it. "Did she taste good?" you ask. It's not like you really even knew Chandra yet, might as well roll with it. "I CAN HEAR YOU DAMMIT! Come on $name, help me out of here!" shouts a muffled voice from inside Leah.

"Hey now, Leah seems pretty chill," you protest, "other than, y'know, eating you." "$name, PLEASE! It's the first day, help me!" Chandra cries out. You notice that Leah is looking down at her gut and seems to be whispering something to the girl inside. Then she looks to be straining herself for a few moments before letting out a heavy exhale. She looks back up at you, suddenly very flustered. "H-Hey yeah so, um, you were saying something about like, volleyball I think?" she blurts out. The shifting of her gut is slower than before. "Er, yeah, I guess I was. Back in high school I got kicked off the team for being too good," you boast. "And also maybe a little because someone in the crowd went missing after every game I was at." Leah chuckles. "I've never been very good at sports, but I could probably pull off that //*urp*// last part." The two of you continue to have awkward small talk for a while. Leah seems a little uncomfortable and you do most of the talking, but it's not an unpleasant time.

She seems more interested in massaging her belly than talking to you. You decide to be the one to try and strike up a conversation. "That's a nice hoodie, what's the logo from?" you ask. You can't actually see what it is at all because of her bloated gut, but you noticed two black shapes from some symbol plastered on the front peeking over the top of her belly. "Oh, uh..." she lifts up the fabric so that you can see the whole thing, exposing most of her stomach in the process. It looks like a sharpened, upside down U with a circle in the middle.

There's a brief pause punctuated by a bizzare gurgle from her stomach before you both burst out laughing. "Wow, I rarely even have people recognize what game it is, that was awesome!

Over time the squirming in her stomach comes to a stop as its groaning gets louder, but she doesn't seem to pay it much attention anymore. "Oh but I have seen that some people are working on porti-" she gets cut off by the sound of someone else calling out to the two of you.<</append>><<replace "#choices">><<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">><<append "#continue">><<if $counter is 1>><<Leah 1>><<else>><<Leah 2>><</if>> "Hey again $name!" Sarah chirps as she finishes putting her shirt back on. "How was life on the other side? Did you guys have as much fun as we did?" "From the sounds of it, probably not," you reply. "Hey, we gave you a chance to join in!" Alesha says. "But thanks for being cool about it actually, I guess that was probably awkward for you guys." "Sometimes you're just feeling it though, y'know? Lost in the moment!" Sarah adds. <<Couple 1>> [[Head to lunch->September 1st- Lunch]]<</append>><</replace>><</link>><</replace>><</link>> [[Nope, fuck this->September 1st: Tour: Aesir 2]] "Hey, you guys still over there? It's like, totally lunch time," you hear a voice shout from the other side of the lockers. Alesha pops her head around the corner. "Oh, Chandra's gone huh? I was wondering who was making that sound." "Aw Chandra's the one that's been gurgling? Bummer, she seemed fun," Sarah chimes in from behind the lockers. "Oh right, we should probably get going," you say. "You go ahead, I don't feel like getting up just yet..." Leah says. "Plus, I don't really need lunch." "Fair point. I'll catch you later then," you say, getting up to rejoin the other two girls. Leah waves goodbye without saying anything, and you wave back before rounding the corner.

"Really?" you reply to Sarah with a bit of incredulity. You weren't expecting to be doing anything like this today, but you're definitely down to have some fun with these girls. "Oh yeah, c'mere," Sarah says, shifting away from Alesha. She pats the now open space on the bench. You oblige, taking a seat between them, blushing a bit. Alesha immediately puts a hand on your thigh, and Sarah on your shoulder. "So glad you joined us $name, Sarah's had her eyes on you since the start of the tour," Alesha says, slowly dragging her hand up toward your chest. Something about the way she phrased that last part puts you on edge. "Now lets have some fun~...<<if $breastSize > 17>>Oh these are nice, you must eat well," she adds, playing with one of your breasts.<<else>>"<</if>> "Uh..." you stammer, suddenly much less comfortable with the situation at hand. "Oh don't be nervous! Here, I'll lead," Alesha says, putting her hand on your chin. She starts to lean in for a kiss, but it's too much for you. You have a sneaking suspicion you know what Sarah actually meant by having room to "fit you in". "Actually I just realized that I really want to get that tour because I'm actually probably gonna be using the pool and stuff now that I think about it," you blurt out nervously, pulling away and jumping to your feet. Not the most coherent excuse you could have put together, but enough to get you out of there. "No wait c'mon!" Sarah pleads, grabbing your arm uncomfortably hard. She gets a sheepish look on her face as a loud, unmistakable groan emanates from her stomach. You yank your arm away, managing to pull her off the bench in the process. Alesha lunges forward to help her as you back away. @@color:yellowgreen;You managed to escape.@@ "Oh my gosh are you okay Sare?" Alesha whimpers, cradling the other girl on the floor.

You turn toward her to follow suit, bringing your hand down to her sizeable rear. "Ooo what do you do to your hair, it's so soft!" Sarah chimes in from behind you. You don't respond, transfixed as Alesha shifts her hand to your chin and starts to lean in. You close your eyes, preparing for a kiss, but suddenly the girl shoves your head back, plunging it into the waiting mouth of her partner. Sarah immediately wraps her arms around your midriff, pinning your arms at your side. Her tongue flicks over your face as she works the rest of your head in. Then, with a heavy gulp, she starts to send you down to her stomach. You try to fight, but between her vice grip from behind and Alesha's wandering hands there isn't much hope of resistance. Your head is pushed deeper and deeper into the tight confines of her throat as the rest of your body slowly follows suit. Alesha grabs your legs and lifts them up over Sarah's head once your shoulders are inside, easing your entry into Sarah's slimy innards.<<if $outfit is "uniform">> You can feel your skirt fall down away from your legs, and you aren't the only one to notice. "Oh!" you hear Alesha exclaim before a pair of hands firmly grips your ass. "I kinda wish we'd had some more fun with this one before putting her away Sare..." You let out a yelp of surprise at the sudden assault, jerking away instinctively and accidentally helping to pull yourself in a bit deeper. Another set of hands slides over Alesha's to take their place fondling your cheeks as Alesha goes back to keeping your flailing legs in check.<</if>> @@color:orange;You have been overpowered.@@ As you start to feel the stomach walls straining against the intrusion of your upper body, you also feel your shoes and socks being stripped away. Then something strange--the unmistakable moistness of a mouth sliding over your feet. You try to pull your legs away as Alesha starts to run her tongue along your soles, but you accomplish little other than pulling yourself deeper into Sarah. She fits as much of your feet into her mouth as she can, but never swallows. Instead, you can feel a heavy pressure start to press down on you from outside as she follows the motion of your legs sliding into Sarah's mouth. Finally, their lips meet and the cool air of the room abandons you, sealing you into the sweltering confines of their bodies. You can feel your feet slowly slide out of Alesha's mouth and into Sarah's, grazing past the two rows of teeth. Their tongues dance around your toes and each other until the last of you disappears into her esophagus. You curl up into an uncomfortable position in her gut, still feeling the pressure of Alesha sprawled out on top of you from the outside. Sarah lets out a triumphant belch. "Excuse me!" you hear her squeak. "Mmm, she was delicious... I'm a bit jealous," Alesha says, muffled by the stomach walls. "<<if $breastSize > 0>>With a bust like that, <</if>>I really could have used her more too..." "Oh come on Ali, you know she would have gone straight to your ass like they always do," Sarah replies. You feel something squeeze down on you, pushing out another burp from Sarah. "Hey! Don't //*urp*// be mad babe, I love your ass~!" "Aww, you're so sweet Sare..." You can feel Alesha rubbing Sarah's gut, groping at your form. Your attempts at struggling are being met with slight moans of pleasure from both girls. "Keep moving like that $name, you're giving me a great massage," Alesha purrs. "Get off me! And let me out!" you shout. "Did you really just invite me over to use as some kind of //sex toy//?" "Mmm, you usually get to use a toy more than once, so no... This wasn't the plan from the start though, sort of an in the moment choice," Sarah replies. "Shh, don't talk to your food babe," you hear Alesha say, followed by some giggling from both girls and what you assume is the sound of them kissing.<<set $sceneAttack to 0>><<set $sceneDefense to 3>> <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "preyOptions">></div>

Sarah replies. But you know she's lying. Feeling reinvigorated by the clear effect you're having, you start to squirm around wildly. You can feel that her stomach is already thinking you're more trouble than you're worth, you just need a little bit more to send her over the edge. One lucky strike from your arm manages to find the perfect spot to thrust back up into her esophagus. Sarah gasps from the intrusion. <<if $acidStage is 0>>"Er, you sure you're alright? She's really going wild in there, I can feel it. I can get off-"<<elseif $acidStage is 1>>"Oh, that good huh?

To your surprise, she's actually still keeping you down despite one of your arms being halfway back to her mouth. Not ready to give up now, you kick your legs as furiously as you can in the confined space while pushing your arm up with all your might. With one good blow it's over--her stomach has had enough and clamps down hard, rocketing you back up her throat from the pressure. You find yourself pushed back into the cool air of the room with alarming speed, mere seconds between your hand first breaking through her lips and your toes making their exit. <<if $acidStage is 0>>You can feel your hand make contact with something soft as soon as it leaves Sarah's mouth, and there's a strange resistance at first that gives way as you're ejected. When it's all said and done, you find yourself on a surprisingly warm surface. It takes your eyes a moment to adjust to the light of the rooms, but once you get your bearings you realize what happened. You're laying directly on top of Alesha, hand on her face and head resting on her uncushioned chest. "Ugh groSS GROSS! GET OFF ME!" she screams, shoving you to the side and jumping to her feet. "Eewww you got goop all over mee!!"<<elseif $acidStage is 1>>Your escape is less than graceful, hitting the bench face first as you emerge. Reeling away from the rather painful blow, you end up sliding your upper body off onto the ground and only just barely avoid slamming your head into yet another hard surface.

Alesha screams, shoving your legs off of her to join the rest of you and jumping to her feet. "Eewww you got goop all over me!!"<<else>>You're thrown straight to the floor as you exit, luckily being able to shield your head from smashing into the tile with your arm. As the rest of your body follows suit, you can feel yourself sliding down something warm and soft making some semblance of a ramp to the ground. Between the force of your escape and the coating of digestive fluids on your skin you're sent gliding across the floor a short distance once the last of you is free. After taking a moment to gain your bearings, you push yourself up into a sitting position and try to take in the scene around you. "Oh my god gross GROSS!" you hear Alesha shriek. "Eeewww she slid down my back that's so nasty! It's all covered in goop now I can feel it!"<</if>> As she frantically tries to wipe herself off, you take note of your own situation. <<if $turn < 3>>You're completely drenched in the same "goop" Alesha's worried about, but all things considered you're no worse for wear.<<elseif $turn < 8>>Every inch of your body is coated in Sarah's stomach acids and your clothes are partially digested, starting to fall apart at the seams and riddled with holes.<<else>>Your head is still a bit foggy and you're finding it hard to focus: you made it out just in time.

Alesha<<if $acidStage > 1>>, now down to just her underwear,<</if>> finally regains some composure and comes over to comfort her. "You gonna be okay Sare?" she asks, sitting next to Sarah and gently rubbing her back with one hand. "s-sorry...I thought I c-could keep her down..." Sarah says in a weak, raspy voice. "Oh baby it's not your fault, don't apologize. This is on her," Alesha says, glaring at you. "Thanks a lot $name, you<<if $acidStage < 2>> ruined this outfit,<</if>> hurt Sarah<<if $acidStage < 2>>,<</if>> and totally killed the mood. Just get out of here, unless you want to try another stomach on for size." You consider protesting, unsure of how you ended up being the bad guy here, but you feel like it's probably best to not test that threat. <<Couple -2>> <<include "playerPreyEscape">>[[Get the hell out of here->Locker Room: Escape Recovery]]

<<set $time to 12.75>><<include "TIME">>"Sure, I'll head over now," you reply. Sam raises her eyebrow at you slightly, then shrugs. You work your way around the crowd and past the nurse as she talks, heading for the bathroom. After momentarily being confused, the nurse sees where you're headed and takes the opportunity to mention the bathroom to the tour. Just before the door shuts behind you you hear the girl with pigtails ask: "Does it have room for multiple people? Because I //really// gotta go." The bathroom is fairly small and lit by two incredibly bright lamps on the ceiling. Both the floor and walls are made of white tile, a few stripes of purple breaking up the monotonous color scheme about halfway up the wall. There are three stalls, so unless her question prompts someone unrelated the plan should work fine without suspicion. Curiously, you note that the door can easily be locked from the inside despite it not being a one person bathroom. You wait at the far side of the room leaning against the cold tile for a minute or so before the other girl comes in. "Alright now we just wait for them to leave. That other girl is probably gonna wait a few minutes longer so it doesn't look suspicious since we were all standing right next to each other," she says as she walks over to you. "You two friends or somethin'?" she asks, stopping in front of you with her arms crossed. "Nah, we hadn't even talked to each other until she asked me to come with her on this," you lie. "I'm $name by the way." "Hannah," she says. "So you just felt like swapping groups for no reason back there in the courtyard, $name?" You freeze. "Uh... What are you-" you start to say. "Oh don't play dumb! I know you weren't here from the start, no one //ate// anyone in our group," she says, jabbing a finger into the soft flesh of your gut. "'Least not yet anyway. You're totally up to something with that other bitch." She puts her hands up against the wall on either side of you. You hadn't really noticed how tall she was until now: you have to look up to meet her gaze. "I figure I got a pretty good idea of //what// too, but I doubt she can fit both of us down," she continues, licking her lips. <<link "Wait no">> <<set _checkType to "prey">> <<set _baseline to 10>> <<set _modifier to 2>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<goto "Eaten by Hannah">> <<else>> <<set $stamina -= 12>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto "Tour Interlude: Sam 4">> <</if>> <</link>>

<<set $time to 12.75>><<include "TIME">>"How about she goes first instead?" you suggest, pointing at Sam. The girl is the one to squint this time, but she doesn't argue. "Sure, the order's not important." "Whatever, meet you two in there," Sam says, starting to push through the crowd toward the bathroom. The nurse gives her a quizzical look for a moment, then realizes where she's heading. "So you two friends or somethin'?" the girl asks you as soon as Sam is out of earshot. "Nah, we hadn't even talked to each other until she asked me to come with her on this," you lie. "Mmh-hmm..." she mutters in response. Before you have time to worry if she might be onto you, she raises her hand in response to the nurse saying something about bathrooms: "Does this one have room for multiple people? Because I //really// gotta go." "Yes dear, go ahead," the nurse replies before continuing on with her talk about the front desk. "Alright, people will have seen us just talking, so make sure you wait a little while before you come in or it'll look super suspicious," she whispers to you before following Sam's path to the bathroom. You take her advice, hanging around at the back of the group listening to the same speech you already got from Professor Juniper. A few of the other students in the group give you a weird look, but no one says anything to you. Eventually the group starts to leave and you take the opportunity to slip into the bathroom. As you enter you take note of the room: It's fairly small and lit by two incredibly bright lamps on the ceiling. Both the floor and walls are made of white tile, a few stripes of purple breaking up the monotonous color scheme about halfway up the wall. There are three stalls on the right side of the room and a sink with a mirror behind it on your left. Despite not being a single-person bathroom, you can feel a lock on the door handle, which you turn as the door closes with as subtle a motion as you can manage. Sam and the other girl are standing next to each other by the sink, staring at you. "Hey, they were moving on when I came in so we can probably leave in just a minute or two," you say, only taking a single step into the room. While you were waiting you had the realization that you don't know her all that well and she might still be mad at you for nabbing Anita earlier: Sam could have set this trap for //you// and not the other girl. The two girls look at each other, then Sam shouts "Now!" and the other girl starts to lunge toward you. You jump back, but just as you go to unlock the door, you realize that Sam tripped her as soon as she started to move. She crashes onto the floor, just narrowly avoiding faceplanting into the tile using her elbows. "Oh you lying //bitch//!" the girl shouts, flipping herself over and starting to sit up to get back on her feet. "I should have fucking kn-" she starts to say, but gets cut off as Sam pounces on her and shoves her head into her mouth. You rush over to assist, pinning the girl's arms to her side as Sam starts to pull her in. She's sitting on her thighs, keeping her legs locked down. When the girl's rather generous bust is almost at her lips, she holds one finger up to you, then grabs the girl's boobs and gives them two quick sqeezes. She cracks what you assume is supposed to be a smile with her mouth spread that wide as the girl thrashes around much harder in response. After her initial bit of fun, it doesn't take Sam long to get the girl down, escpecially with your help. You slowly guide her along out from under Sam and into her mouth, doing your best to keep her steady. It only takes a minute at most before she's pulling the girl's sneakers off and sealing the last of her inside. "//*UUUUURRRRRRRP*// Ohhh even better than I thought she'd be. I think you ended up getting the short end of the stick here, she was //delicious//! And so much taller than Anita..." Sam says, rubbing her bulging gut as the girl settles into her stomach.

You feel the wetness of her mouth wash over your forehead and down to your nose, leaving you blinded. "STO-//MMP//!" you try to cry out, getting cut off by her advancing maw. //*GLP*// With a heavy gulp, your head is thrust into her throat, the warm, slimy walls eagerly starting to pull you in deeper. You try to push her off of you, but she's got you locked down tight and all of your efforts prove ineffective. Slowly but surely she advances, pulling your shoulders into the confines of her mouth. With another hard swallow and some slight repositioning, you feel yourself get dragged beyond the point of no return, your head pushing through a tight opening into her eager stomach and her lips advancing to the edges of your belly. @@color:orange;You have been overpowered.@@ Over the gurgling of Hannah's guts and the dull beating of her heart, you hear the muffled sound of a familiar voice: "Oh shit, uh... I'll just, let you two finish up there..." Sam says. You try and yell for her to help you, flailing your legs around relentlessly. Hannah seems to have paused in her attempt, giving you hope that your belly is too much for her. Unfortunately, a hard swallow starts to drag you in deeper, compressing your midsection as it enters her mouth, growing painfully tight as it starts to slide into her throat. It's slow as she struggles to choke down the extra mass of your midsection, but you're helpless to stop her as the rest of your body slides into the fleshy prison of her gut. You start to squirm against the shifting walls, your skin already feeling itchy from whatever fluids are leaking in. "//*UUURP*// Ah... So, you want to let me in on whatever your plan was?" Hannah asks. You think she's talking to you for a moment, until Sam chimes in. "It looks like you already figured it out, to be honest, and beat me to the punch at that," she says. It sounds like she's a reasonable distance away from the two of you. "SAM, HELP ME!" you scream, striking out against the stomach walls around you with as much strength as you can muster in the constricting prison.<<set $sceneAttack to 0>><<set $sceneDefense to 0>> <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "preyOptions">></div>

She tries to fight it, but with a dry heave everything clamps down around you and you feel your head start to get pushed back up into her esophagus. "Oh, was she a bit too much for you? I figured," you hear Sam say. Hannah is too preoccupied to respond. Slowly but surely your body works its way back out of hers, inching back through the slimy tube of her throat until you finally feel cool air on your face again as it breaches back into her mouth. Sam is nowhere to be seen as your face slides onto the cold tile of the bathroom floor, Hannah doubled over on the ground as your shoulders start to follow suit. You can hear a gulping sound as your elbows push back into the outside world, but if it was Hannah it didn't have any effect.

Hannah, still retching and coughing from your escape, is already naval-deep in Sam's mouth. She isn't messing around either, and before Hannah can even get a clear enough breath to voice some kind of protest her head disappears into your friend's gullet.

"Heh, a bit of a //*urp*// detour but we still got there." You can hear some sort of response from Hannah, but her voice is too weak for you to really make anything out.

You hear a muffled voice break through her bulging stomach: "I FUCKING KNEW YOU TWO WERE UP TO SOMETHING!

"Yeah so to fill you in, Hannah here," Sam begins to explain, "was actually much smarter than I gave her credit for, definitely not another Anita. She payed enough attention that she knew you weren't from our tour group, I guess your gut was kinda a giveaway, and immediately started drilling me about what we were up to when she came in. As the master of deception that I am," she says, prodding at what seems to be Hannah's head in her gut, "I played dumb and //*urp*// convinced her this whole thing was your idea, then agreed that we should team up to get you before you did whatever you were planning." "FUCK YOU! Once I get out of here-" Hannah starts to shout, but gets cut off by Sam deliberately pushing out a belch. "You're not getting out, you deserve this! We literally gave you conflicting stories and you still immediately trusted me you fucking moron!" Sam laughs. There's only incoherent outrage in response. <<link "Chat with Sam">><<replace "#choices">>"Seriously, basically the only thing I said to her was that this was your idea," you laugh. "So sorry for almost blowing it I guess." "I'll let it //*urp*// slide this time, don't let it happen again," Sam jokes. She gives a contented sigh as she runs her hands over Hannah's squirming form. "So, I wasn't actually paying attention like, at all, on the tour. You know where we're supposed to go next?" "I think this is the last stop for the tour, then we're going back to Lampton for lunch?" you reply. "Pretty sure there's a schedule in these folders they gave us actually," you add, grabbing yours off the ground. "Oh right, they gave us folders," Sam says, "we should probably see what's in those, huh?" She reaches out to the ground next to her, but doesn't find anything. "Dammit... //*urp*// I left it over on the sink, can you grab it for me?" You look over at the sink, seeing two identical folders propped up against the mirror. "Er, which one?" you ask, walking over to them. "I mean either works, she probably has the same info," Sam says, giving a condescending pat on the head to what she assumes is the bulge of Hannah's head. Her meal continues to thrash about uselessly. "Fair enough," you say, grabbing the folder on the left and bringing it over to her. You start to look through your own folder. There's a map of the campus with your roommate assignment--someone named Emma--your class schedule, and--there it is, a schedule for orientation. "Yeah I was right, looks li-" "HAHAHA HOLY //SHIT//, NO WAY! NO FUCKING WAY!" Sam suddenly blurts out. "$name, you're never gonna believe this! You make sure you're listening too," she continues excitedly, smacking the side of her gut. "You gave me //her// folder and guess what?

She holds up the paper for you to see--sure enough, Hannah's form says she was assigned to a room with "Samantha Mckenn". "ARE YOU KIDDING ME! You're THAT Sam? LET ME OUT OF HERE!" comes a scream from Sam's stomach. "//*OOOORRP*// No way, I'm really looking forward to having a single now!" Sam replies, still laughing. Her gut starts to squirm with renewed vigor. "What are the odds... I hope my roommate is still around," you say. The two of you continue to chat in the bathroom as Hannah's angry outbursts and frustrated grunts steadily get replaced with gurgles. Eventually the bulges in Sam's gut slow their movements and get kneaded by her shifting belly into a smooth, round shape. With whatever remains of Hannah sloshing around inside Sam, you can be sure your "debt" has been repaid. <<Sam 1>><<set $samPrey.push({name: "Hannah", status: "fodder", details: "her roommate"})>> "You know, the tour's probably over by now," Sam says, rubbing her bloated stomach with a look of vacant bliss on her face. "Yeah... we should probably head to the dining hall for lunch," you reply, getting to your feet. You offer Sam a hand. "I already have lunch," she says, remaining on the floor and patting her belly. "//I// don't though," you pout, keeping your hand extended. "Besides, I'm sure Hannah would like some company." Sam smiles and takes your hand. "Oh she's definitely gone by now, but I like where your head's at," she says as you help her to her feet. After she takes a second to adjust her balance with the added weight, the two of you make your exit from the bathroom back into the lobby.

"If you thought I was the one trying to eat you here, why would I specifically get //both// of you in here before me?" you ask Sam's gut. The bulging flesh of her belly stops moving for a moment, before resuming its squirming with more ferocity than before. "Maybe I just wanted to eat //you// bitch, think of that?" Hannah growls. The groaning of Sam's stomach has grown steadily louder, and you can hear sloshing as the girl within moves, the eager organ flooding with acids to handle its meal. "That really worked out well for you then, huh?" you continue to taunt. Sam chuckles. Suddenly one of the bulges in her gut lurches toward you, stretching her flesh to such an alarming degree that you can almost make out the contour of Hannah's arm striking at you. It only lasts a moment before the stomach walls snap her back into position, but the motion elicits a decidedly sexual gasp from Sam. Her face flushes red. "Whoah that was... intense. Could you maybe, uh... neverm-" her upper cheeks flare up even more and she clears her throat, snapping her attention from you to her gut. "Damn you're really putting up a fight! I've never had someone punch that hard without making me lose my lunch before, it's impressively pathetic!" she says to her meal, regaining her composure. Squeezing her arms around her belly like she's giving Hannah a hug, she pushes out a burp to taunt the girl. "Let's not have anymore of that though..." "You know, if she gets back out I'm taking this one too," you joke, deciding to ignore her outburst. She smirks, still embracing her stomach. "No way am I gonna //*urp*// let her out, at least not the way she went in..."

<<set $time to 13>><<include "TIME">>"W-wait no you've got it all wrong!" you plead, shrinking away from her face in hopes of being able to duck under one of her arms. Just as she moves to grab your shoulders, you lunge to your right, narrowly avoiding her. You run for the door, but she tackles you from behind, pushing you to the ground and landing on top of you. A sharp pain spikes through your abdomen for a moment as your bloated belly squishes against the tile. "Oh no you don't!" she says, repositioning herself so that she's sitting on your back facing your legs. You try to buck her off but she's got you pinned. She licks her lips as she pulls your shoes and socks off. "You're gonna be way better than whatever lunch they're serving..." "No, stop, please!" you shout. You let out a whimper as you feel your feet get pushed into the slimy warmth of her mouth. The door ahead of you slowly creaks open, but the girl doesn't seem to notice. She starts to swallow and for a brief moment you feel your toes push into her throat, but suddenly she pulls away and your feet are thrown back into the cool air of the room. Standing over you is Sam, holding the girl by one of her pigtails. "Not on my watch!" she says, yanking her off of you. "OW! WHAT THE HEL-" she starts to scream, but Sam grabs her arms and shoves her head into her mouth. She doesn't waste any time, pulling in the rest of the girl's body as quickly as she can, not taking any time to savor the experience. You get back on your feet to help, grabbing her legs and practically feeding the rest of her to Sam. In record time she's gone--confined within Sam's bulging gut. You managed to escape. "//*UUUUUUUURRRPP*// Oh boy that //*hic*// was a bit too fast, I barely even tasted her," Sam says with a belch, dropping down to a sitting position on the floor. "You okay?" "Yeah, thanks. She had us figured out--you came in just in time," you say, getting some paper towels to wipe off your saliva-coated feet. "I KNEW YOU TWO WERE UP TO SOMETHING! LET ME OUT BITCH!" screams a muffled voice from inside Sam's thrashing belly. "Hell no," Sam replies, pushing out a burp. "You're here to stay, so be a good lunch and settle down." She doesn't, but then it doesn't seem like that's actually what Sam wanted. "So, I wasn't actually paying attention like, at all, on the tour. You know where we're supposed to go next?" Sam asks you. "I think this is the last stop for the tour, then we're going back to Lampton for lunch?" you reply. "Pretty sure there's a schedule in these folders they gave us actually," you add, grabbing yours off the ground. "Oh right, they gave us folders," Sam says, "we should probably see what's in those, huh? Ooo actually is that hers up on the sink there? Grab that for me, it'll //*hic*// be more fun to go through her stuff." She slaps her squirming belly. "You're cool with that right?" she asks the girl inside. There's only incoherent rage in response. You look over at the sink and spot the folder she's talking about. You grab it to bring over to Sam, taking a quick look through yourself first. As you expected it looks like exactly the same paperwork, but you do get her name--Hannah. You hand it over to Sam before starting to look through your own folder. There's a map of the campus with your roommate assignment--someone named Emma--your class schedule, and--there it is, a schedule for orientation.

<<set $time to 13.5>><<include "TIME">><<set $lunchEmma to true>>Everyone filters back out into the courtyard, following Professor Juniper across the way to Lampton once again. You and Emma trail at the back of the group, still sticking together on the way to the dining hall. "Thank god, I'm starving! I barely even had breakfast this morning" Emma says.<<if $ateMandy>>"I guess you're probably all set for a while though, huh?" she adds, nodding at your gurgling belly. "Hey now, I've done almost an entire tour's worth of walking since then! Besides, she was pretty small, there's definitely some room to give her company" you reply, patting your bloated belly affectionately. "Well you better not be thinking of putting //me// in there." "I wouldn't dream of it! You probably have to do some sort of paperwork if you end up without a roommate and I don't have time for that," you joke. <<else>> "Me too, I thought that tour would never end," you reply.<</if>> It isn't long before your group arrives at Lampton, you and Emma being among the last to pass through the doors. The hall is bustling with activity and flooded with the sounds of countless conversations taking place at once. Your group isn't the first to arrive, as many of the tables are already filled with girls. Following everyone else's lead, the two of you head over to the buffet line at the front of the room. Laid out for the students is a wide variety of sandwiches, a few different kinds of pasta, and a salad bar. Once you're far enough along in the line, you grab a plate for yourself and fill it with a little of pretty much everything. Emma, who has just a single turkey sandwich and a salad, looks back at you and raises an eyebrow. "Jeez, you really are hungry huh?" she says as the two of you reach the end of the line and step away from the buffet. "This way I can find out what's good here," you say in your defense.<<if $fullness > 0>>"You know, other than the girls," you add, using your free hand to pat your bloated belly.<</if>> "Ooooh, smart. You better be planning on sharing those findings with your roomie," Emma replies with a laugh. "I see a good spot in the middle, c'mon!" You follow her to an empty table and sit next to each other. She wasn't kidding about being starving and immediately digs into her food, scarfing down half of her sandwich in record time. You pick at a few different things from your sampling--the pasta is pretty bland, but the sandwiches are surprisingly good. "Mmm, that really hits the spot," Emma says. "I was afraid the food would be garbage but this ain't bad!" "I wasn't too concerned, there's always an //alternative// menu if the normal food sucks," you reply. "So true! But it's not quite the same as eating a specifically prepared meal y'know? Ya gotta have both! Plus, it may surprise you since I'm going here but I'm not that big of a predator. I really only eat people that really have it coming, or if we're both having fun with it. Unless I'm blasted, then all bets are kinda off. I'd hate to actually have to rely on our classmates for nutrition..." Emma rambles.<<set $emmaInfo3 to 1>> "Oh but there I go blabbing on again!

"I'm an only child. Grew up just me and my dad for the most part actually, mom kinda dropped out of the picture when I was still a toddler," you explain. "Woah, that must have been rough. Hard to imagine not having both of my parents there--they're like some of my favorite people!" "Eh, people are always apologetic when I bring it up, but honestly? My childhood ruled. Way I've always seen it is if my mom didn't care enough to stick around, I don't care about her," you reply. "Yeah, fuck your mom!" Emma cries. Her smile doesn't falter but she gets a slight look of concern in her eyes for a moment before continuing. "I could get behind the whole only child thing though." "Got sibling problems?" you ask. "You can say that again! Nance is alright, we got along well enough but we're just totally different people y'know? But my brother! Omigod he's literally the worst person I've ever met!" she says in a frustrated tone. "I've seriously thought about eating him before, but it'd just be too gross..."<<set $emmaInfo4 to 1>><<set $emmaInfo5 to 1>> "Geez, is he really that bad?" "Girl you have //no// idea..."

That's like, the opposite of me--//Terrible// at tests over here. I'm not always the brightest either to be honest, but I've got street smarts! Party smarts!

Mind if we sit with you?" a dark haired girl at the front of the group asks, taking a seat across from you without waiting for an answer. Her hair is fairly short and curled at the ends, and she's wearing a noticeable amount of makeup. "Name's Mallory Weiss, you can call me Mal!" she says, gesturing for the other two girls to sit next to her. "Any chance either of you are Leah Campbell? I've been trying to track down my roommate." "Hey I'm Emma! Sorry, don't know any Leahs, but I've got //my// roomie right here!" Emma replies<<if $emmaRel > 1>> , putting her arm around your shoulder<</if>>. "Uh, hi! I'm $name," you say. "Oh awesome! That's great that you guys found each other already!" Mallory replies. "She's actually the first person I met on campus, isn't that crazy?" "Wow how lucky! And mine apparently doesn't even exist!" Mallory says excitedly. "I guess I'll see her soon enough at dorm check ins." "We only checked like, two tables before this," the hispanic looking girl to her left chimes in. She's wearing a green blouse that diguises it a bit, but looking at her now you notice that she's pretty muscular. "I'm Kayla by the way." "Oh but these two seem fun! I'm ready to throw in the towel to stick here," Mallory says. "Gabby say something. Be present," she adds, elbowing the girl to her right. "Hey, hi, how ya doing?...sorry," the girl blurts out. She has short brown hair that looks like it's... wet? And she's a bit on the chubby side. She's also wearing what looks like some kind of uniform--a white collared shirt with a jacket and skirt. Does this school have uniforms? "No need to be awkward Gabby, we aren't gonna tell them!" "Mallory!" Gabby squeals. "What I didn't actually say anything! It adds intrigue to your character, I'm helping!" Mallory justifies. "Besides these girls are obviously nice so you have nothing to worry about." "Yeah, I have no idea what you're talking about but I won't judge!" Emma says. "It's nice to meet you all!" <<if $fullness > 1>>"I don't know about that Mal, one of them seems pretty... gluttonous," Kayla says with disdain, staring directly at you. As if on cue, your stomach lets out a very audible groan. You blush a little and lean forward to push your belly out of the way. "Er..." "Oh," Mallory says. She seems to both have not noticed and not really care. "Like, I know we're all here for this, but seriously? Grabbing someone on day one, before they've even gotten to see the campus? That's shitty $name," Kayla continues. "...it is $name, right?" You give a slight nod before defending yourself. "Well...But I mean--here Emma can vouch for me that this girl was completely clueless. She was doomed either way, better for me that I got to her, right?" you try to justify, a little flustered. "Yeah, she was all alone without the tour group and not paying attention at all," Emma says, backing you up. She seems less energetic than usual, almost reluctant.<<set $emmaInquiry1 to 1>> "See? It's fine, you worry too much!" Mallory says. "Still shitty," Kayla says, arms crossed. "Hey but we'll move past it!" Mallory replies, elbowing Kayla. "Let's get to know each other!" Kayla rolls her eyes and stays silent for a while as the rest of you continue talking and getting to know each other, but eventually she rejoins the conversation and seems nice enough. You continue chatting with Emma and this new group of girls all through the period, not realizing how much time was passing until you were interrupted by the familiar voice of Professor Juniper cutting through the noise of the room. "Everyone, attention please!" she shouts over the crowd. "Thank you, I hope you're all enjoying lunch! You can still hang out a while longer, but the buffet will be closing in a few minutes because it's time for dorm check-ins! So when you're finished, please head on over to the room listed in your folder. There should be a faculty member in the hall for you to check in with to get your key and make sure everything's in order!" "Wow time flies huh? I'd love to stick around a bit longer but I //really// need to meet my roommate," Mallory says, getting to her feet. "This was fun, let's meet up again some other time!" "Definitely, it was great meeting you all!" Emma replies. "Likewise! I hope me and Leah get along as well as you two," Mallory says.

"I can just sense it. But you're right, we don't know much about each other. Let's remedy that!" Mallory beams. You continue to have a very engaging conversation with Emma and this new group of girls for the remainder of Lunch, getting to know each other better. You learn that Mallory and Kayla are already friends from high school, though Gabby they'd just met this morning while chatting in the lobby. At one point Kayla goes on a brief rant about how annoyed she is that some people are already eating other students before everyone's even settled in<<if $tourMandy>>, during which you and Emma exchanged nervous glances<<else>>, with which Emma strongly agreed<</if>>.

<<set $lunchOther to true>><<set $metMina to true>>After a few anxious minutes, you spot a very empty table at the far side of the room. There's only one girl there, and enough open seats that you won't have to really sit near her if she isn't interested in talking. This seems to be your only real option, so you head over to say hi. As you approach the table you can make out the girl better. She's absoutely tiny, definitely under five feet tall and a body like a twig. Her hair is long and flat, and it's so light that it almost looks white. You sit across from the girl, noticing as she turns her attention to you that her eyes are a striking silver-grey color. Or rather //eye//, as her right one is almost completely blocked by her hair. "Hey there, I'm $name," you say with a smile. "Hello, my name is Mina," the tiny girl replies in a soft voice. Her gaze drifts a little to the right of you and you turn to look, thinking maybe someone else has approached the table, but there's nothing there. It seems like she's just zoned out, eating her salad and paying you no mind. Uncomfortable, you try to strike up a conversation. "So, uh, Mina, don't take this the wrong way but, are you sure you're at the right school?" She doesn't look like she's ever even eaten a full sandwich, let alone a person. "Hehe, the secretary said the same thing to me when I came in," Mina giggles. "Please don't feel bad for asking, I understand how I come off. However, while this academy is renowned for its predators, it's also the best place in the country to learn to defend yourself!" "Huh, I didn't think anyone came here //just// to avoid being prey. Or that they'd even accept anyone on that basis." "If I'm honest, I was a little surprised that I actually got in too! As for why I came, my mother said it best when we talked it over: 'If you can survive in the lion's den, you can survive anywhere'," Mina says.<<set $minaInfo2 to 1>> "You know, I guess that makes sense," you reply. "So if your goal here is just to... not die?, what are your plans for the future?" "Oh, I'd quite like to be a musician!" she squeaks, getting a grin on her face. "I'm very good at playing the piano, I do hope they have one on campus somewhere! I brought my keyboard to practice, but it's not quite the same."<<set $minaInfo1 to 1>> "That's awesome! I've always wanted to be able to play an instrument," you say, returning her smile. The two of you continue having little bits and pieces of conversation throughout lunch. There are some awkward breaks and it's mostly just you asking her questions and her answering, but she seems to be enjoying the company. Eventually you hear the familiar voice of Professor Juniper cut through the room. "Everyone, attention please!" she shouts over the crowd. "Thank you, I hope you're all enjoying lunch! You can still hang out a while longer, but the buffet will be closing in a few minutes because it's time for dorm check-ins! So when you're finished, please head on over to the room listed in your folder. There should be a faculty member in the hall for you to check in with to get your key and make sure everything's in order!" "Ah, well, I guess we should get going," you say, standing up from the table. You quickly flip through your folder, looking for your room number. "Bye $name! Maybe we'll see each other again later!" Mina says, giving a tiny smile. "I hope so!" you reply, returning her smile with a wave before heading for the front door. Your room number is K132, must be the first floor of Karbo. <<set $minaRel to 1>>Mina seemed to really enjoy your conversation!

A wave of relief washes over you as you feel a different arm wrap around your waist, but the sting of fear returns as Kayla is pushed away and your head is swallowed deeper into Alice. She suddenly kicks into overdrive, pushing herself down over you and swallowing relentlessly. It's shocking how quickly you find your body squeezed into her stomach,<<if $fullness > 1>> your own still-bloated belly being the only thing to make her pause for even a moment. In<<else>> in<</if>> an instant only your legs are hanging out with your ass already sliding down her throat. "//Puta!// You in fucking kindergarten? Who goes for the hair?" Kayla shouts from somewhere to your left. "You two have fun, I'm outta here," you faintly hear the other girl say through the sounds of Alice's insides. You feel the world shift around you as Alice eases backward onto the ground to finish you off. There's nothing you can do as your body is packed into her gut, your legs slurped up like noodles. Just before you're fully sealed inside, you feel one of your shoes get yanked off your foot. With one final gulp, the last of you is sent down to her groaning stomach. The walls suddenly shudder around you as your captor lets out a tremendous belch. "//*GOOOUUURRRRRP!*//--whew! Fuck you, I didn't get any chance to savor her. Unless you want to give her some company, get lost!" Alice says. "Oh, but, you can keep that if you want. I don't think she'll be needing it anymore," she adds in a more smug tone. "Ugh, fuck you!" Kayla says. A moment later you feel something smack into your back. "I'm sorry $name, please don't let her keep you down..." "Oho, she already left! Poor $name, you don't have very good friends do you?" Alice says in a mocking tone. You feel her rise back onto her feet, rubbing her hands over you from the outside. "I'm not surprised. A slut like you is much better off adding to my perfect form."<<else>> "Let her go!" "Woah, easy there Kayla, just let this happen. That girl went straight for the headbutt with no hesistation, you don't want to fuck with that kind of energy," the other girl says. "But we can't just... Ugh, fuck you!" Kayla says. "I'm not sticking around to watch this... I hope you choke on her." "Yeah I'm gonna get on with my day," the other girl says. And just like that, all the help you'd hoped for has abandoned you. Alice pulls you in further with a satisfied gulp. With no potential threats left, Alice starts to really take her time with you. You can feel her running her tongue along your skin<<if $outfit != "uniform">> and even under your shirt as she gets to your chest<</if>>, savoring every piece of her meal. After what feels like several minutes your head is finally pushed into the humid chamber of her stomach, the rest of you slowly but surely squeezing through her slimy throat. You've given up struggling against her by now, saving your strength to make your escape. Eventually she seals the rest of you inside and you curl into an uncomfortable position in the confines of her gut. "//*urp*// You're finally where you belong," Alice says, gripping your arm through her belly for a moment.

I need you to--" Mid-sentence, the walls of Alice's stomach finally decide they've had enough and squeeze into a vice grip around you. You can feel your head starting to be pushed back up into her esophagus. This is it! "FU-//huek//" Alice starts to react, but the moment she opens her mouth you're rocketed out of it. Your bile-drenched body slides face-first onto a carpeted floor. You start to try and collect yourself when you realize you aren't all the way out--your rear is still lodged in the girl's mouth. It looks like she's trying desperately to swallow you back down, but her body isn't having any of it. You place your freed hands on her legs and with one forceful shove dislodge yourself. Breathing heavily, your head finally starts to clear and you struggle to your feet. You look around to get your bearings: You're completely naked, standing in a dorm room that looks pretty similar to yours. Alice is sitting on the bed ahead of you having a coughing fit, while a girl in a lime green shirt with blonde pigtails is standing off to the side with a surprised look on her face. "Woah! This is gonna be tough to clean up," she says. Amid the pool of bile and half digested food surrounding you you spot a glint of something reflecting in the light: It's your room key.

Not worried about the why, you see an opportunity to take advantage of and start using the extra momentum to throw yourself around as violently as you can. Unprepared for the sudden onslaught, the walls of her stomach finally decide they've had enough and squeeze into a vice grip around you. You can feel your head starting to be pushed back up into her esophagus. This is it! "FU-//huek//" Alice starts to react, but the moment she opens her mouth you're rocketed out of it.

It looks like she's trying desperately to swallow you back down, but her body isn't having any of it. You place your freed hands on her head and with one forceful shove dislodge yourself, nearly sending her tumbling down the stairs and releasing a fountain of stomach juices that had built up around your legs. After being churned alongside her second meal, the sudden wave of vomit pushes you over the threshold and you immediately throw up as well. Breathing heavily, your head finally starts to clear and you struggle to your feet. You look around to get your bearings: You're completely naked, standing at the top of the main stairs in Lampton.

"Just give it up Alice, you can't keep me down! Let me out before I break out!" you shout. Truth be told her squeezing is actually hurting quite a bit, but you can't give up now. And fortunately, it seems like her plan backfired as, with little prompting from you, the walls of her stomach abruptly tighten and start to push you back up into her throat. "//Hrk// Damn... it..." Alice groans, releasing her hold to instead wrap her arms around her gut. She keels over and within a few seconds you feel the cool air of the outside world against your face. Followed quickly by the extremely unpleasant sensation of being rubbed across concrete as your body slides back out into the courtyard. Once your arms are free you do your best to ease yourself into a more comfortable exit position. <<if $turn < 3>>You jump to your feet as soon as the last of you is out.

Professor Juniper asks. Knowing there are a bunch of other students watching still, you play it cool. "Yeah I'm fine, she was nothing," you say, shooting Alice a look.

"I think it's pretty obvious honey, you should probably run," the other girl says, backing up a bit with her arms crossed. You glance over at her for a moment. "You should probably learn to follow your own advice." On cue, Alice pounces on the girl, knocking her over and shoving her head into her mouth before they've even hit the ground. You grab Mandy's arm as she takes the opportunity to try and run away, dropping the plate of food you'd been carrying. <<if $mandyEscaped is "released">>"B-but before you... you," she stammers.<<else>>"NO PLEASE NOT AGAIN!" she screams.<</if>> You pull her back in front of you, crossing your arms over her from behind to keep her in place.

She begins to squirm furiously, but you keep your grip held tight and with a //*gulp*// start to slide yourself over her. You move quickly, a little concerned about drawing too much attention to yourself. Being this public isn't usually your style. About halfway through the process you start to slow down, however, savouring the feeling. The pressure on your insides, the feeling of your body stretching and squeezing around hers... it's divine. You ease back onto the ground to avoid bending over uncomfortably low, running your tongue along her legs. To your right, you hear Alice let out a belch, evidently finished with her meal. Following her lead, you slurp up the rest of Mandy, sealing her into the tight confines of your guts. "//*UURP*// Finally where you belong," you say, resting a hand on top of your bulging belly. You can feel her shifting beneath the skin, a tiny spark of pleasure radiating through your body with every motion. "PLEASE STOP, let me go!" Mandy cries, her voice muffled by your body. @@color:yellowgreen;You overpowered your prey.@@ Alice is already back on her feet, lazily rubbing her gut with one hand. You can see that the other girl is thrashing around much harder than Mandy, her belly squirming and sloshing wildly. Alice seems unphased by it. "Excellent, that girl wasn't fit to be anything but a slab of meat," she says. "But I doubt I could have gotten them both myself in this open of an area." "You're //*urp*// welcome," you say. You briefly reach out a hand toward her in hopes of getting some help standing back up with the extra weight of Mandy, but she just raises an eyebrow at you. Realizing it was probably silly to expect an assist from her, you clumsily struggle back to your feet on your own. "Yes. I could have just tracked her down myself later," Alice replies. She stares at you uncomfortably directly for a brief moment. "However, you were useful in getting Kayla out of the picture, so a reward was in order." "Thank you?" you say, taking a seat on a nearby bench to relax and enjoy your dinner. "I'M NOT A PRIZE! $name you can't do this!" Mandy squeals from within your gut, a little hard to hear over the groans of digestions starting to kick in. "Mmm," Alice says dismissively. "I have more important things to do than stand around here." With that she turns and walks away toward Lampton, leaving you alone with your meal. <<if $aliceRel < 0>><<Alice 2>><<else>><<Alice 1>><</if>><<set $sceneAttack to 0>><<set $sceneDefense to 0>> <<include $sceneActionsLink>> <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "predOptions">></div>

"You mind taking it easy in there? You aren't get-... getting out" you say, suddenly getting very queasy mid sentence and clutching your gut. "I'M. NOT. FOOD!" Mandy cries, each word accompanied by a powerful blow to your insides. You try to stay strong, but it's no use as you feel your belly decide it's had enough and constrict around it's passenger. You're helpless to stop it as Mandy is shoved painfully back into your throat bit by bit. Soon enough you taste the awful sensation of bile on your tongue as her face squeezes back into your mouth. "Just... Let me... Go!" she says as her face breaches back into open air. Her escape is slow at first, only her head and shoulders free as you fall off the bench onto your knees. "Come on..." Mandy whimpers, aggressively shimmying her shoulders as she attempts to free her arms from your body. You're almost as relieved as she is when she finally gets them out and is able to get leverage to finish pulling herself free. You cough and sputter on the ground, feeling something slide back down your throat. Mandy is sprawled out on the ground in a pool of your stomach acids, accompanied by a few chunks of something still stewing away from lunch. <<if $turn < 8>>Her clothes are peppered with holes from their time spent drenched in your acids, and you notice that one of her shoes is missing.<<else>>She's almost completely naked, everything but her panties and somehow a single sleeve of her shirt melted away by the extreme amount of time she spent exposed to your stomach.

You grab her ponytail to yank her head back, simultaniously kicking the back of her knees, knocking her onto her back. "OW, THAT FUCKING HURT!" Betty growls, rubbing the back of her head with both hands. "Yeah, that was the point. When I say 'fuck off' it means fuck off, got it?" you say, stepping between her and Emma. She has a murderous glare, but looks between you and Emma and backs up a bit before getting back to her feet. "Whatever!" is all she says before stomping away, flipping you off for good measure. You turn back to Emma. "You okay?" "Yeah, yeah... Thank you," she answers, taking a seat on the bench behind you. "Sorry your food got ruined." "Oh don't worry about that, I can just get more," you say, giving her a reassuring smile and sitting next to her. "What was her deal?"

"What, got nothing to say?" the girl sneers. You see Emma clench her fists. "I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over all that makeup," she says halfheartedly. The other girl laughs. "Oh my god that was terrible! And you really shouldn't be talking down about makeup honey, with that disaster of a face it would really do you some good." Emma stamps her foot forward.

"Stop!" Emma squeals, using her now freed hand to slap Betty in the face. Betty simply grabs that hand and shoves it in her mouth. "No!"

Betty's eyes go wide and she clutches her chest as Emma's head pops back out of hers. "Get away from me!" Emma cries, quickly pulling her arms back out as hard as she can and scurrying away from the girl. "FUCK!" Betty cries amidst a heavy fit of coughing. "Who the hell are you!?"

You can see Emma trying to wriggle against her, but she's helpless to stop her descent into the girl's insides. Her belly starts to swell and grow with the bumpy shape of Emma's body feeding into it. You watch as Betty leans back and slurps up her flailing legs without any extra help, just slowly swallowing them down until nothing remains of your roommate. "//*UUUrrp*// There we go!"

"Right where you belong.~" She's sitting on the ground with her knees splayed to either side of her belly, one hand supporting her as she leans back, the other resting on her gut.

"//*UUUUURRRUP*// That's more like it!" You watch as Betty slowly, and somewhat clumsily, rises back to her feet. Some movement from Emma nearly makes her lose her balance halfway through, but, after giving her belly a frustrated smack, she manages to recover. She lets out a heavy exhale that turns into a small burp, cradling her belly from below. "Hmm, you know, my mouth feels dirty after letting you touch it, I think I need something to wash it out.

"Now, you actually came at the perfect time," she says. "<</if>><<else>>You showed up at the perfect time," she says. "<</if>>I was just starting to explain the 'Monday Massacre' to Sarah and Alesha here!" <<if $freshCoupleRel > 0>>"I thought it would be, like, a good idea to know what we're in for, right?" Alesha says to you. "Totally!" Sarah adds. She's staring dreamily at Alesha rather than eating or paying attention to Professor Juniper.<<elseif $tourLocker>>"Hey again, by the way," Alesha says to you. Sarah flashes you a peace sign.<<else>>"Hello by the way!" one of the other girls says. She has dark skin and hair, and she's wearing an orange tank top. "Hey! It's nice to meet you," you reply. "I'm Sarah, and that cutie over there is Alesha!" the short blonde sitting across from her says. She has glasses and is wearing a loose white shirt that's resting asymetrically, leaving her left shoulder and bra strap exposed. "Aw you're so sweet babe~" Alesha replies.<</if>> "So, as I was saying, tomorrow all of the returning students will move in for the year, a day that's become infamously known as the "Monday Massacre". As you can imagine, having a horde of much less experienced girls arrive on campus is a dream come true for most of the students here," she explains. "Unfortunately, particularly for you guys, that usually leads to us losing a lot of students on that first day of classes. We do our best to fend them off--making them busy with moving into their rooms at the same time that they need to attend their classes--but it mostly falls to you to keep your wits about you and stay safe." "Why not, like, punish people that get caught if you don't want them snacking on us?" Sarah asks. "We tried that for a few years, but any disciplinary actions we came up with were either not enough to deter them... or severe enough that we ended up just losing a dozen or so upperclassmen instead. A lot of the teachers did enjoy that year..." Juniper explains. "But at any rate, I really recommend that you girls memorize where all of your classes are tonight, if you're carrying around your schedule tomorrow it'll be a dead giveaway that you're an easy target." "Will do, thanks for the heads up," you say. "Well, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you," she says with a smile. "It's always so sad to see so many promising students get cut off early." \ \ <<link "Ask about classes">><<append "#text">>\ "So, what are the classes actually like here?" you ask her. You've been having trouble picturing how exactly they'll go about teaching this sort of thing. "Ha, well most of them //are// a bit unorthodox," she laughs. "You'll most likely have me for Introduction to Vore so I'll explain how things work there, fair?" You all nod. "So, in Intro we'll cover all of the basics without going in depth with anything--how to select prey you can handle, when the right time to strike is, how to get that prey down and keep it there, how to //avoid// being someone's prey, and simple strategies for getting out of a stomach. There is certainly some lecturing and reading like any other class, but this is of course something that you learn by //doing//," she explains. "You don't mean...?" Alesha asks. "Indeed I do!" she replies with a sly look on her face. "We meet three times a week and normally one of those is "lab time". That means you'll practice your skills with your classmates--either letting yourself get eaten to practice escaping, or testing your skill at getting prey down. Don't worry! Digestion is expressly forbidden during class time, and the teacher will ensure everyone is accounted for before dismissal. We even have ways of inducing vomiting in the event of particularly disobedient students!" "Wow thats-" Alesha starts to say. "Awesome!" Sarah chimes in. "Totally!" Alesha says. You talk with Juniper, and Sarah and Alesha, for the rest of the cookout, learning all sorts of neat information about the school and the classes you'll be taking. She mentions that they frontload the freshmen schedules with classes about surviving encounters to try and protect them from the upperclassmen--pretty much everything but Intro to Vore is focused on escaping predators. You also get to know Sarah and Alesha a bit<<if $tourLocker>> better<</if>>. They seem nice, if a bit ditzy.

"Officially speaking, the school is of course not authorized to use any sort of capital punishment. But..." Juniper says slyly, "off the record, there is a reason that all of the staff here are master predators. The vast majority of offenses aren't anything too severe and will just land you a few hours of '//detention//' with one of the professors if anything, but serious steps out of line or repeated offenses can result in the kind of punishment you don't come back from.

<<set $time to 17.75>><<include "TIME">><<set $cookoutGabby to true>>You follow the girl toward the garden, hoping to get <<if $totalPrey > 0>>another<<else>>a proper<</if>> meal in before the end of the day. Another girl passing by seems to take note of the very direct path you're taking, a brunette wearing glasses with a light green streak in her hair. She makes eye contact with you, nods her head in the direction of the other girl, then licks her lips and winks. She moves along without saying anything to you, and you decide to not question it and continue your pursuit. The garden is one of the few places you haven't actually gotten to see yet, and you find that it's quite nice. It's a rather small area filled with bushes and a kaleidoscope of bright flowers, with a small stone path winding through it. The area is walled off from the rest of the courtyard by a row of hedges that you can just barely see over. There are two benches for people to sit and enjoy the view--one in the far corner of the garden under an overgrown archway, and the other, which your quarry is heading for, just a little to the right of the entrance. As the girl takes a seat she finally notices you and seems to freeze. <<if $lunchEmma>>It finally hits you why she looked familiar--it's one of the girls that joined you and Emma at lunch, Gabby.<<else>>You quickly look her over--she's definitely on the chubbier side, but she also has a chest so big you can feel your mouth start to water. <<if $outfit is "uniform">>She's wearing the school's uniform, which you're not sure whether to take as a good or bad sign.<<else>>She's wearing some sort of uniform, with an unbuttoned grey jacket over a white collared shirt and a short blue skirt.<</if>><</if>> You give her a smile as you go to sit next to her.<<if ($lunchEmma is false) or ($emmaInquiry1 > 0)>> She seems to relax a little when she sees that you're carrying food with you, but she's definitely still on guard.<</if>> <<if $lunchEmma>>"Hey there, it's Gabby right?"

Let's get to know each other better." <<if $emmaInquiry1 > 0>>"Sure..." she says, scooting away from you ever so slightly.<<else>>"Yeah, sorry, I'm pretty shy most of the time...

You take a bite of your burger. "They have food for us y'know, not hungry?" She seems to loosen a bit. "Oh, yeah, I just thought I'd wait until it cleared out a bit, the line looked pretty long." You see an opportunity. "Eh, it moves faster than you'd think, only took like a minute to get mine. You should go get some for yourself, these burgers are great!" "I..." she starts to say something, but trails off and starts to eye your burger hungrily. Then she squints a little and shifts her gaze to you. "Yeah okay then, I'll be right back..." You can hear the skepticism in her tone.<<else>>"Awesome! I'm not always great with crowds either so I get that. Plus this place is pretty cool, good choice of hiding spot." "Heh, thanks. I was kinda surprised the tour didn't stop here, I've been wanting to get a look at it since this morning. I love gardens and stuff like this," she says, not seeming wary of you at all. You subtly nudge yourself a little closer to her on the bench. "Yeah? They definitely look nice but I don't know the first thing about plants. You know what any of these are called?" you ask, gesturing to the flowers directly in front of the bench. "Yep! This is lavender and some begonias, and the little white flowers they've got scattered around are baby's breath. Oh, and over here they've got some kind of amaryllis..." she turns away from you, pointing toward some orange flowers to the right of the bench.<</if>><<else>>"Hey there, I'm $name!"

The moment she passes in front of where you're sitting, you stick your leg out and sweep it under hers, knocking her to the ground with a shriek. You jump to your feet and move to pin her, but she was surprisingly quick in pushing herself back up onto her knees. Undeterred, you grab her arms from behind and try to quickly shove her head into your mouth. She tries to pull herself free, but you grip her tight and wrap your lips around the top of her head. "NO PLEASE NOT AGAIN!" Gabby screams, furiously trying to break away from you. It's no use as you start to push down over her, cutting off her screams as your mouth slides over hers. It's immediately clear what she meant by "not again" as you get a taste of her hair--it's disgusting, a flavor like stale vomit. You quickly gulp her in deeper, pushing her head into your throat and bringing your lips to the base of her neck. The flavor of her skin definitely isn't much better, but you have to pause for a moment to consider how you're going to progress from here. <<if $lunchEmma>>You hadn't paid it much mind before, but her<<else>>Her<</if>> breasts are gigantic and might be challenging to get in without assistance, plus... You grip her hands hard and carefully bring them up to your mouth, fighting against her attempts to pull them free. Prying the sides of your mouth open more using her hands, you slowly feed her arms in to join her head. The sensation of her screaming and shifting at the top of your throat is starting to get pretty uncomfortable after holding it this long, but you have your target. With another gulp you pull her in deeper and you plant both of your now freed hands firmly on her bust. You can feel her try to pull back, but with you right behind her it's pretty ineffective. With another gulp you push down even lower over her, kneading her breasts down and feeding them into your mouth a little bit at a time. You can't help yourself and spend far more time than was necessary squeezing them in, but eventually the last of the mighty mounds pops inside. You swallow hard, shivering a bit from the pressure as they slide into the even tighter embrace of your esophagus. With the fun part over, you pick up the pace and pull her in up to her belly button with just a few more swallows. Her outfit is strangely the best tasting part of the experience, having an odd fruity flavor to it. Sitting in a pretty awkward position at this point, you carefully get back up on your feet, using your arms to lift her legs up along with you. You sit back down on the bench and lift her up over your head, using one hand to guide her frantically kicking legs into you as you quickly gulp them down with the assistance of gravity. Your other hand rests on your belly, feeling it expand as her bulging body is slowly fed into your stomach. Before long your lips close around her feet, sealing her inside. @@color:yellowgreen;You overpowered your prey.@@<<else>>You seize the moment, snapping one arm forward to wrap around her and pin her arms at her side, using the other to pull her head backward into your waiting mouth.

Reinvigorated by you essentially admitting she's making you squirm, she musters the strength to push her arms out to either side hard enough to make two very noticeable bulges. You double over on the bench reflexively from the pain, hugging your gut tight. She's still shifting beneath your grip. "Stop!" you command through gritted teeth. In an attempt to keep her still you clench your stomach muscles tight, but this backfires spectacularly. The moment the walls crush in on her, you feel either an arm or a leg work its way back into your esophagus, while something else painfully shifts somewhere deeper than you've felt before. You hear Gabby let out a muffled scream at the same time that you collapse off the bench onto your hands and knees. A gutteral "fuck" is all you manage to get out before you're overtaken by a flurry of coughing and gagging. You've had enough after that and don't even bother trying to bring her back down, even pushing down on your stomach with one hand to try and help your body along. It doesn't take long until Gabby is ejected feet first onto the cobblestones, leaving you sputtering on the ground in the fetal position. "Oh my--EWW!" Gabby squeals, backpedalling away from you and shakily starting to get to her feet. "What was... Did my head really go... Eugh!" "What the hell was that?" you say weakly between coughs, your eyes watering. <<if $turn > 3>>She doesn't seem to have noticed yet, but after so much exposure to your stomach acids pretty much her entire outfit beyond her underwear is gone, and even then her bra looks like it's barely keeping it together. "It was disgusting is what it was! I can't believe-" she starts to rant, but after stamping one of her feet forward her chest bounces just enough for her left bra strap to finally give out. She squeals in surprise and immediately covers herself with her arms, running away without finishing whatever words she had for you.<<else>> "It was disgusting is what it was! I can't believe that actually... I-I need a shower," she says, backing away. She hurries out of the garden to safety, leaving you alone with your shame.<</if>> You stay on the ground clutching your stomach for a while, eventually crawling back over onto the bench. Whatever happened in there, your body isn't happy about it and there's a dull, throbbing pain in your gut that sticks around much longer than it usually takes to recover from this sort of thing.

I didn't think the pool would be open this early. I guess we probably don't have that much time before we need to check in, but still," Anita says. "Hey, why don't we all get to know each other a bit better!

You connect the dots too late as you're suddenly grabbed from behind and the wet warmth of Sam's mouth starts to envelop your head. Thinking fast, you jerk forward and pivot your body to the left, causing Sam to lose her grip in surprise and fall forward into the pool.

"Mind explainin' what yer doin' up here lass? Building's not open to students until the tour later," she says in a gruff voice. You panic. Why //are// you even in here? Breaking the rules before you've even checked in just to follow two girls you don't know? What were you thinking? Too taken off guard to come up with an excuse, you try to make a break for the other staircase. You barely make it anywhere before the woman grabs one of your arms and stops you in your tracks. "Oy ya brat! Answer me when I ask ye a question! Are you even a student here?" she growls, pulling you in closer. A loud groan from her stomach sends a chill down your spine.

You walk back to the door that led into the room in disappointment--this was really a big waste of time. The door clicks shut behind you as you wander back into the hall, heading for the exit so you can go to check-in like you were supposed to. However, as you turn the corner you freeze. "Oy! What're ya doin' in here?" Walking towards you from the supply closet is a tall, muscular woman with short red hair wearing a purple one-piece uniform that goes down to her knees. And she looks pissed. You think about making a break for it, but you barely have any energy left. "No one's supposta' be here until the tour later. Ye 'ave permission to be here?" she growls at you, now standing right in your face. She seems to be in a terrible mood. "I'm just... there was..." you stutter weakly, not sure what the best approach is here. The woman raises an eyebrow, noticing your pale face and the fact that you're still clutching your stomach with one hand. She grabs the front of your shirt and pulls you in close. "Well? Out with it! Are ya sick or somethin'?" she shouts. "There's a-another-" you start. A loud groan erupts from her stomach, cutting you off and sending a chill down your spine. "Nevermind, I don't care."<<else>>You start to head down the hall to check out the pool, but you stop in your tracks as a gruff voice calls out from behind you. "Oy! What're ya doin' in here?" You whip around to see who you're dealing with. Walking towards you from the now-open bathroom is a tall, muscular woman with short red hair wearing a blue one piece uniform that goes down to her knees. A cart of cleaning supplies sits next to the open bathroom door--she must be a custodian. "No one's supposta be here until the tour later. Ye 'ave permission to be here?" she growls at you, now standing right in your face. She seems to be in a terrible mood.

Either let her go or I'll have to force her out, and I'm sure you remember how unpleasant that is." Leilani--or at least, you assume that's her name--gives an extremely frustrated sigh. "Fine, whatever..." she grumbles. She pauses with a look of concentration on her face, then pushes down on her belly with her arms. A moment later, the girl inside is ejected out onto the hallway floor. Leilani's eyes are watering a bit and she's clutching her stomach with one hand, but she just looks angry, not in pain.

"Ah, perfect timing<<if $juniperFavor is 1>> $name<</if>>," Juniper says, noticing you standing there. "Stay with her a moment while I go get something, please," she tells you, hurrying into the room. The vomit covered girl gets back on her feet and the two of you stand there waiting for her to come back. It's not anyone you recognize. "Hey," you say to break the silence. "Hey..." she mumbles. Luckily, Juniper returns a moment later. "Here you go dear, there's a bathroom just around the corner, why don't you get cleaned up before coming in," Juniper says, handing the girl <<if $knowUniform>>one of the school uniforms<<else>>a plastic bag with clothes in it<</if>>.

Finally, Juniper comes back into the room again, walks up to the board, and starts to address the class.<</if>><</if>> "Good morning everyone!" She beams, writing the name of the class and her name on the board. "I'm happy to see that you all made it! I think we're only missing one student that was still on my list, let's hope she's just running late. For those of you that don't remember me from yesterday, my name is Marguerite Juniper. Welcome to Intro to Vore!" She grabs a stack of papers off of her desk and starts to walk around the room handing them out. "This is the syllabus. It's pretty standard stuff, but be sure to read it over when you get the chance to make sure you understand how the class operates," she says. Once all of the papers have been distributed, she returns to the front of the room and goes to the computer on her desk. A projector on the ceiling pointed toward the whiteboard starts to whir to life. "While that's booting up, how about some introductions? You'll all be getting to know each other pretty well soon enough, so let's go around the room, everyone tell us your name. You don't have to say anything more than that, I know some people hate being put on the spot, but feel free to tell us a bit about yourself if you'd like!" Starting with <<if $metLeah>>Leah<<else>>the girl<</if>> in the back corner, everyone obliges and speaks up one by one. Most, including you, just say their name and awkwardly wait for everyone to stop looking at them, but some give a few more details, like one girl boasting that she escaped from a junior earlier after getting caught at breakfast.<<if $metKayla>><<if $class1WrongDoor or $eatenByBetty or ($wrongClassroomStars is "yes")>> You hadn't seen her when you came in, but it turns out that Kayla from <<if $lunchEmma>>lunch<<else>>the cookout<</if>> yesterday is also in this class.<</if>><</if>> "Excellent, excellent, this is going to be a great semester!" Juniper says once the last person has gone. The projector is now on, displaying a slideshow on the board. "Let's get started shall we? This... is your introduction, to Introduction to Vore!" She starts by going over what to expect from the class--as an introduction to the concept, you'll be covering a little bit of everything, from eating to avoiding being eaten. There will sometimes be "lab days" where you'll practice the techniques you've learned on your classmates, though she makes very clear that you cannot digest anyone during class, and everyone must be released before the class is dismissed. Apparently, the school has a huge supply of extremely powerful antacid tablets that are given out to ensure the classroom is a safe space. She explains that for this class, attendence is absolutely crucial. There aren't any real tests or assignments, so your grade is almost entirely based on whether or not you show up. <<if $cookoutJuniper>>Of course, you already knew most of this from talking with her yesterday.<</if>> Once the introduction is out of the way, Juniper starts to give a lecture on this week's lesson: Prey Selection and Knowing Your Limits.<</if>> You listen and jot down a few notes as she discusses how to be smart about who you choose to make a meal out of. Most of it is pretty obvious stuff--go for someone that's smaller and at least appears to be weaker than you, make sure if anyone else is present that you're absolutely positive they won't intervene, that sort of thing--but some of the details she gets into toward the end are more interesting. Things like subtle cues as to whether someone is on edge or relaxed, and therefore unsuspecting, and how very short prey can actually be riskier than a meal closer to your size because they'll be able to maneuver themselves better.

You'll have to keep going this way if you want to stop at your dorm first, but it might be safer to go up and around through Lampton to get to the dining hall.

It doesn't take long to cross the courtyard and arrive in the dining hall, avoiding the few students you saw along the way. <</if>>The room is bustling with activity, more crowded than it was this morning. You spot a number of girls sporting bloated bellies, some still struggling, scattered around at various tables. You start to worry about where you're going to sit once you have your food--coming alone during a massacre may not have been the best idea. You try not to look worried as you head up to get yourself a plate, hoping to avoid unwanted attention. After scanning the room, you spot what might be Emma with her back turned to you at a table near the back wall, but <<if $metCherry>>the girl she's sitting with looks like... Cherry? That can't be right, so you aren't confident it's her after all.<<else>>you don't recognize the girl sitting with her so you can't be sure.<</if>> As you're debating whether or not to risk it, you're bailed out of your dilemma. "Hey, $name right? You looking for somewhere to sit?" says a warm voice from behind you. You turn around to find the girl that was doing club signups at the cookout yesterday. "It's Kim, remember from yesterday? You look a little lost, want to come sit with my group?" she asks with a smile, gesturing to a nearby table. There are five other girls there, <<if $metMina>>including <<if $minaRel is 0>>the quiet girl<<else>>Mina<</if>> from lunch yesterday<<else>>most of them freshman by the looks of it<</if>>. "Uh, sure. Thanks!" you answer, following her back. "And yeah it's $name, I can't believe you remembered from just that one conversation with how many girls you must have signed up." "Heh, I never forget a face!" she beams. The two of you take a seat and Kim introduces you to the others. "Alright guys, we've got one more! This is $name." "Uh, hi," you say with an awkward wave. <<if $minaRel > 0>>Mina seems to immediately recognize you, getting a tiny smile on her face.<</if>> <<if $minaRel > 0>>"Hello again $name!" she squeaks. "Hey Mina, glad to see you're still around!" you say. "How have you been?" "Oh good, you two already know each other!" Kim says. "Oh it's been lovely so far! Other than my roommate never arriving, though I quite enjoy the extra space to keep my things," Mina replies. "I'm eager to get to my first class after this, it's even an escape oriented one!" "Before you two get too far into it, let's make sure everyone has properly introduced themselves!" Kim says with a little laugh.<<else>>"Hello, my name is Mina!" <<if $metMina>>the girl from lunch yesterday says, evidently not remembering you.<<else>>the very short girl sitting across from you says. She's absoutely tiny, definitely under five feet tall and a body like a twig. Her hair is long and flat, and it's so light that it almost looks white. It covers most of her right eye, but you can see the one that's exposed is a striking silver-grey color.<</if>><</if>> "Howdy, name's Amelia," the girl next to <<if $minaRel > 0>>Mina<<else>>her<</if>> says with an impish smile. She's a brunette with messy hair bearing a mint green streak, one of her hands on the table showing off that her nails are painted to match. Freckles dot her cheeks beneath her eyes and she's wearing thin-rimmed glasses.<<if $cookoutGabby>> She looks vaguely familiar, but you can't place where you've seen her before.<</if>> "Ugh, no it's not!" the girl next to you says. She's a blonde with thick hair and green eyes, wearing a white crop top with a short denim jacket over it. "This is Claire, she keeps introducing herself with a different name whenever someone new shows up for some reason." "How do you know I was telling the truth with Claire?" Claire replies, raising an eyebrow and tilting her head. "School documents don't lie honey, and I checked you into your room. Sorry to ruin the charade," a dark haired girl sitting next to Kim says, an amused smile on her face. She's a little on the shorter side and wearing a pink dress. Tan lines peeking out below her neck betray her golden brown skin. "I'm Miranda by the way, I'm a junior. Nice to meet you!" "Oh I didn't introduce myself, I'm Mia!" the girl next to you beams. "And I'm Tia!" the girl sitting on her other side says, popping her head out to the side with her hands on Mia's shoulders. She looks a bit like Mia, but her hair is tied back in a ponytail and her eyes are blue. She's sporting a light green tank top with a butterfly across the front. "We're sisters." "Twins!" Mia adds. "But not identical!" "But also besties!" "And also roomies!" Tia finishes. "Nice to meet all of you!" you say with a smile, starting to dig in to your food. "So as I explained to these guys, every year I do my best to give the incoming freshman a warmer welcome than most of the upperclassman," Kim says. "I promise they're not all so bad, but people usually can't help themselves!" "A lot of them excuse it as an initiation thing," Miranda says, a sour look on her face. "Like the incoming class deserves to be hunted like animals on their first day to earn the right to go here. Blech! And then of course most of those freshman can't wait to be on the other end of things when the next year rolls around and the stupid tradition keeps going..." "I feel personally attacked, that's exactly what I was thinking after dealing with this all day," Claire says. "Not me!" Tia chirps. "Someone almost got Mia earlier and I don't know what I would have done if they did, no way am I doing that to someone else for no reason!" "Well good, you're with the right people then! Kim saved me during my 'massacre' and it really proved to me that you can still have a good heart even if you choose the predator lifestyle," Miranda says. "Seeing her stick around for so long, staying as kind as she ever was, is really inspiring! I've tried to follow in her footsteps, and you can too!" "Oh stop Miranda, you're laying it on too thick!" Kim laughs. "I'm just keeping an eye out so they're safe during lunch at least, not trying to recruit them for anything." She sighs, seeming lost in thought for a moment. "It was a lot tougher back then, you were the only one I could really manage to help. Didn't have quite the clout I do now when I was just a sophomore." "You do eat people though, right?" Claire asks. "I mean that might be a dumb question since you're at this school, but I can't picture you digesting someone." "Oh of course, I just have a little class about who and when," Kim replies. "I don't think there's anyone here just to learn escaping.<<if $minaInfo2 is 1>>" You glance over at Mina, but she doesn't speak up. "<<else>> <</if>>Anyways, how are you guys liking the school so far? Haven't run into too much trouble I hope." <<link "It's great">><<replace "#choice">>"It's great so far!" you answer.

"I want to be excited about being here, but it's been pretty stressful these last two days." "That's understandable, it can be hard to adjust to a big change like this. Particularly when it comes to this school," Kim says, giving you a sympathetic look. "I promise that everyone is being honest calling it the 'monday' massacre--the craziness really dies down quick after today. Everyone gets it out of their system I guess." "Plus, the morning is the worst of it," Miranda chimes in. "People can only digest so fast, and all the really bad eggs get their fill right away.

No one likes a stomachache, so once word spreads people tend to stay away from 'troublesome prey'." "It's true, Kim is the only one that's gotten back out of Maeve and no one's touched her since," Miranda adds. "Won't some people be interested in the challenge though?" Claire asks. "Not saying //I// would or anything, but I feel like it brings both kinds of attention." "Well... yeah," Kim admits.

Even if it's a bit scary today, it's also like there's excitement around every corner!" Tia says. "Oh and I even heard a rumor this morning that there's someone famous in our class!" "I heard that too! Anyone know who it is?" Mia asks. "I know who you're probably talking about, I checked her into her room yesterday," Miranda says. "I don't think she's famous for anything herself, but her mom's an old movie star." "Wait, I saw the last name doing club sign up but, you're sure she's actually..?" Kim says, widening her eyes a bit. "Mmm-hmm," Miranda replies with a sly smile. "//Selene Mercato's// kid is at the school now." "Oh Slate's going to be //overjoyed// about that," Kim laughs. "Woah shit, really? I //love// her!" Claire beams. "I've watched movies that looked awful just 'cause she was in 'em. Did you know she refuses to use special effects for vore scenes? Anytime she's got a gut on screen there's really someone in there! I hear sometimes they don't get the stunt doubles back at the end of the day..." she rambles. <<if $aliceInfo1 is 1>><<set $aliceInfo1 to 2>>"So she wasn't lying..." you mumble, remembering your encounter from the tour yesterday. "Have you met her?" Claire asks eagerly. "Yeah, her name's Alice," you reply. "She's, uh, not the nicest person I've ever met. I guess the ego makes sense now though..." "She did seem... stiff when I tried to talk to her," Kim says. "Yeah, rude at check-in too," Miranda says. "Well, every class seems to have that one girl, maybe she's yours." "Do you think her mom will come visit at some point? Oh man, I might get to see her in person! Maybe she'll even eat..." Claire says, snapping her lips shut before finishing her last sentence. "So you said her name was Alice? I'm surprised I didn't remember that honestly, she only has the one daughter..." "Yeah, I'm sure you'll be able to pick her out of a crowd when you see her..." you reply. <</if>><<if $minaRel <= 0>>"Mina, what about you? How's your MVA experience been so far?" Kim asks, putting a stop to Claire's fangirling. "Don't want anyone getting left out now!" "Oh it's been lovely! Other than my roommate never arriving, though I quite enjoy the extra space to keep my things," the tiny girl replies. "I'm eager to get to my first class after this." "Glad to hear it!" Kim replies with a warm smile. <</if>>Lunch goes by quickly as the conversation flows between the large group you've found yourself with. You get some good insight about the school from Kim and Miranda, and what started out as a stressful trip alone quickly turns into the most relaxed encounter you've had all day. No other freshman end up joining you, though at one point another senior stopped by to see how Kim's "babysitting" was going. Evidently, she has a reputation. Eventually you notice that it's getting near the time for your class, but before you say anything Claire beats you to the punch. "I should get going, I've got another class I need to get to," she says, standing up from the table. "Escapism?" you ask. "Yeah, why?" "That's where I'm headed next too," you reply. "Me too!" Mina says. "Me three! Er, me four I guess," Tia says. "Aw, not me..." Mia pouts. "That's perfect then!" Kim says. "Why don't you all go together? You should be safe with all four of you, Miranda and I will make sure Mia gets back to her dorm alright." "Works for me," Claire shrugs. "Let's get a move on people!"<<if $minaRel < 1>> <<Mina 1>><</if>><<if $day2SunnyFlirt>> You glance at your phone before getting up and notice that you have an unread message. It's another picture from Sunny! You quickly open it to take a look, tilting your screen for a bit of privacy just in case. This time it's a picture at an odd angle shot from below, looking up at her gut. She's sitting at a desk, only the lower half of her face visible due to the framing. Her belly has gotten considerably smaller, though it's still big enough to make her shirt ride up a fair amount. She's grabbing the soft bulge tight with her free hand, showing off how squishy it's gotten. "//She's making me super gassy in the middle of class :X//" she added. After glancing around to make sure no one's watching your screen, you quickly text back: "//That just means your body's working hard! I can see that she's *going*, but where to?//" Before you've even stowed your phone again, she gets back to you. "//You'll have to wait a little longer for that ;) Don't get too pushy with that kind of wording, or I might send you something gross next time I hit the bathroom :P//"<</if>> [[Head to class->Lunch Alone- Courtyard Encounter]]<<set $metMina to true>><<set $metClaire to true>><<set $metMiranda to true>><<if $fullness is 0>><<set $stamina += 8>><<set $stamina to Math.clamp($stamina, 0, $staminaMax)>><</if>>

<<set $time to 13.75>><<include "TIME">><<if $day2LunchCrew>>The four of you head up the stairs in the dining hall, on your way back to Karbo so you can get to class. Mallory and Beli take the lead again, you and Leah trailing slightly behind. Even though she's just a sophomore, it's reassuring to have an upperclassman with you while you walk through the dorm halls. "Hey, sorry we didn't end up getting to talk much," you whisper to Leah. "Oh, it's fine," she replies, a hint of disappointment in her tone. Before you can say anything more, you spot a girl with a distended belly coming toward your group from around the corner. Something about it seems different than the guts you're used to seeing on predators, like it's hanging a bit lower and holding tighter to her core. You're wary, but luckily Beli seems to know her. "Hey Janet! Ha, you coax one of the freshman in already?" she says. "No..." the girl sighs, her voice sounding a bit stuffy. She's slightly shorter than you, and just straddling the line between being chubby and fat. Looking closer at her belly, you can see that although it's pretty rounded, there are still a few clear bulges. The surface shifts slightly every now and then, whoever's inside definitely still alive but not moving with much urgency. "This is my roommate, there hasn't been a good chance to get anyone else..." "Ah, so this is... Martha? Enjoying the ride, girl?" Beli asks, resting one hand on Janet's belly. You hear a muffled reply from inside, but you're far enough away that you can't quite make out what the words were. "Aw c'mon, just hang in there. She'll find a replacement eventually," Beli says to the girl's prey. Janet's eyes dart over to you, Leah, and Mallory. "Hey do you think one of the-" "Nope! Not these guys, move along," Beli says quickly. "Actually, you three are fine from here, right? Let's catch up girl, it's been all summer!" she continues, turning and putting an arm around the girl's shoulder. "Fine," Janet sighs, her gaze lingering on you specifically before relenting and walking away with Beli. You quicken your pace a bit, walking slightly ahead of Mallory as you continue down the hall.<<set $metJanet to true>> "That was strange..." you mutter. "I suppose," Mallory says, shrugging. "Nothing to worry about though." "Maybe a little to worry about..." Leah says under her breath. You cross through the bridge back to Karbo without any further issue, luckily. Just as you're turning down the hall, a familiar face appears in the stairwell.<<else>>Mallory leads the way, heading towards the stairs with you and Leah following close behind. You're a little concerned about the danger going up through Lampton, since these are the dorm halls for the upperclassmen, but with three of you walking together you figure you're probably fine. "So $name, how did you and Leah meet? She stayed holed up most of yesterday too," Mallory asks. "We were in the same tour group, ended up splitting off and talking with each other when we got to the sports complex," you explain.<<if $leahInvited is false>> Leah doesn't seem to be paying any attention to the conversation.<<else>> "Yeah... that was a good time," Leah says. You notice her running a hand along her stomach for a few seconds.<</if>> "Oh, interesting! I suppose there was a third with you at one point, right? I //do// know why she skipped out on lunch," Mallory says, chuckling. "Well technically, she's still with us," you joke. Leah blushes a little, but can't help smiling at the thought. It doesn't take much time to pass through the halls, but Mallory does her best to get as much information about you as she can. You don't run into any trouble on your way back to Karbo, though you do pass by the unusual sight of a girl seemingly carrying out a conversation with her bloated belly. As you finish crossing the bridge, Mallory starts to ask you something about clubs but gets cut off by a familiar voice.<</if>> "Hey $name!" Emma calls out<<if $emmaRel > 3>>, rushing over and giving you a quick hug<</if>>. "Oh man, I was worried when you didn't come back! I thought I waited long enough, but I got kinda hungry after a while. Glad to see you're still fine!" "Good to see you too! Sorry, I went straight to lunch with Leah after class," you tell her. "Hello again darling!" Mallory says with a smile. "Oh Mal, hey! And you said Leah, right $name? So this must be your roommate!" Emma says, turning to Leah, who's standing a bit behind you and looking away. Emma holds out a hand toward her. "I'm Emma, $name's roommate! Nice to meet you!" "Uh, hi," Leah says, very quickly shaking her hand before letting go. "So you ready for class $name? It's just around the corner here," Emma says. The four of you continue down the hall together.

"Yeah, thanks for the help," you reply sarcastically. She shrugs, a mischevious smile on her lips. You and Mina sit a few seats away to make a point. "So, are you excited for class?" you ask Mina as you start to get settled in your seat. "Definitely! This one is solely focused on escaping from predators, it's perfect for me!" she answers. <<if $emmaRel < 2>>You smile at her enthusiasm.

Then something from this morning comes back to you and you quickly scan the room. Sure enough, she already had the same thought.

I'm so glad to see you, I was worried when you didn't show up at the dorm after your first class," she says, resting her hands on the front of the desk. "Hey! Don't worry, I'm doing fine, just one close call," you say, looking over at Mina. "By the way, this is Mina! Mina, this is my roommate Emma." "Delighted to meet you," Mina says, turning to Emma with a small smile. "Hey! Always happy to meet a friend of $name's," Emma beams, waving to her.<</if>><<else>>The two of you step into the room, taking seats next to each other near the back.

You aren't sure how you missed her walking over. "Are you alright? You look kinda bummed." "Oh hi Emma, nice to see you're still doing alright!" you say. "I'm fine, we just had kind of a close call walking back from lunch." Next to you, Claire holds up four fingers, then switches to two and uses them to trace a line down her neck. "And uh, Emma this is Claire, who's doing hand signals for some reason." "Uh, nice to meet you!" Emma says. "I'm $name's roommate."<</if>><</if>><<else>><<if $day2LunchSkipped>>"Hey $name, wait up!" a familiar voice calls out just as you're about to head up the stairs. You turn and, of course, find Emma hurrying over to you. "Hey! How was lunch?" you ask. "Pretty good actually! Didn't run into any trouble, got to meet some new people. Better than I hoped! How was <<if $emmaRel > 3>>abandoning me?" she asks, clearly joking<<else>>not-lunch?" she asks<</if>>. "I took a nap and slept off some of Olivia here," you answer, patting your stomach. "It was nice." "You ready for class?" Emma asks as the two of you reach the top of the stairwell. "I'm excited, this'll be my first class since I missed the //actual// first class," you reply. <</if>>Just after turning the corner you find yourselves at the door to room 219. Emma holds it open for you, and you lead the way to a pair of desks in the middle of the room. <<if $aliceRel < 0>> "Dang it, look up front," Emma grumbles next to you. You scan the first row of seats and see what she's talking about: Alice is sitting front and center, looking as full of herself as ever. "Oh, wonderful," you say.<<else>>You take a quick look around. Most of the students seem to be here already, though <<if $metAlice>>the only one you recognize is Alice, who's sitting near the front<<else>>you don't really recognize anyone else.<</if>><</if>> "I hope this one is more interesting than my first class!" Emma says. "I heard Professor Slate is pretty tough though..."<</if>> "Everyone, quiet!" a voice commands from the front of the room<<if $day2LunchLeah or $day2LunchCrew>>, as if on cue<</if>>. It belongs to a woman with short, dark brown hair standing in front of the whiteboard. She's wearing an open grey suit over a dark purple vest and dress shirt. Her face is stern, slight bags under her eyes and her mouth just shy of frowning. <<if ($emmaRel > 1) and $day2LunchAlone>>"And please be seated," she continues, glaring at Emma. "S-Sorry ma'am!" Emma says, hurrying back to her chair. "Thank you," the woman says, annoyance dripping off her words. <</if>>"It is time for class. I am Professor Slate, and this is Escapism. If you're in the wrong room, save yourself the embarrassment and leave now." <<if $day2LunchLeah or $day2LunchCrew>>In the back row<<else>>A few seats away<</if>>, a very flustered girl quickly gets up and rushes out of the room. Slate watches her go and rolls her eyes. "Now then, there is one thing I want to make very clear to you all. You //need// this class," Slate says, starting to slowly make her way around the room passing out sheets of paper. The room is silent outside of the clicking of her heels against the linoleum and her commanding voice. "Escaping from a predator is the most critical skill for you newcomers to learn. It is, quite literally, a matter of life and death. I can assure you that as you are now, not one of you stands a chance against the stomach of an even halfway competent predator." "It's what you deserve if you're weak enough to end up there," <<if $metAlice>>Alice<<else>>a dark haired girl at the front of the class<</if>> sneers. There's a tense silence that she doesn't seem to notice as she reads through the syllabus she's been handed, a bored expression on her face. "Mercato," Slate growls, utter disdain in her voice. "Thank you, it's always lovely to have a volunteer on the first day." She walks over to her desk and pulls a bottle out of the top drawer. You watch as she removes a sizeable tablet from the container and quickly swallows it, then starts to move toward <<if $metAlice>>Alice<<else>>the interrupting girl<</if>>. "Excuse me?" she says. "You're quite confident in your abilities, correct?" Slate says, standing right next to her. Your eyes widen a bit as you see her unbutton the bottom of her shirt. "Yeah, of course," <<if $metAlice>>Alice<<else>>the girl<</if>> mutters. Slate grabs her arm and pulls her up onto her feet. "Hey-!" "Then demonstrate," Slate says. You watch in disbelief as the professor swallows her. It's cold and efficient, in just a few seconds the bratty girl is hoisted up into the air and plunged down Slate's gullet. Her belly bulges out from under her clothes with the thrashing form of her student, the undone segment of her shirt perfectly parting around the bloated orb of flesh. Even being as far away as you are, you can faintly hear <<if $metAlice>>Alice<<else>>the girl<</if>> roaring in outrage. <<if $day2LunchEmma>><<if $aliceRel < 0>>You can't help smiling at the turn of events. With what happened earlier, it feels particularly good to see someone who deserved it getting gulped down.<<else>>You shiver, very uncomfortable with the display given what happened earlier. Now, watching the struggling form<<if $metAlice>> of Alice<</if>> in her gut is just making you picture the position poor Emma is in.<</if>><<elseif $day2LunchAlone>>You glance over at <<if $minaEnd is "alive">>Mina to see her reaction. You were expecting her to be scared or nervous, given what just happened, but she gives a determined nod and watches Slate intensely.<<else>>Claire. There's an excited look on her face, like she wasn't interested in class until this very moment.<</if>><<if $aliceRel < 0>> As for you, you can't help smiling at Alice's misfortune.<<if $aliceRel < -2>> It's about time someone put her where she belongs.<</if>><</if>><<else>>You and Emma glance over at each other. There's a look of disgust on her face. <<if $aliceRel < 0>>You're taken aback by the turn of events as well, but you can't help grinning after watching Alice get taken down<<else>>You share her discomfort with the turn the class has taken<</if>>.<</if>> "There," Slate says once her prey is tucked away, stifling a burp. "Let this be two lessons to all of you. First, none of you are nearly as good as you think you are. And second: Never interrupt me while I'm teaching. Am I clear?" "Yes ma'am!" most of the class yelps. "Good. I need to take care of attendance, and then we can begin." She returns to the desk at the front of the room and begins to read off a list of names from the computer, waiting for a response from each person.<<if $minaEnd isnot "alive">><<if $metMina>><<if $minaEnd is "leila">> Your heart sinks a little when the names "Tia Leyton" and "Mina Long" are called back to back without answer.<<else>> You hear her call the name "Mina Long", but there's no response. Thinking about the tiny girl from lunch yesterday, you fear the worst.<</if>><</if>><</if>> When she gets to <<if $metAlice>>Alice's name<<else>>the name "Alice Mercato"<<set $metAlice to true>><</if>>, she just pats the top of her squirming belly with one hand and continues on to the next. Soon enough the last name is called and Slate walks back to the front of the class. Her gait is a little different, but she seems completely unbothered by the added bulk of her gut. "Before I begin, are there any questions about the contents of the syllabus I've given you?" "U-Um," one girl stutters with her hand raised. She has a panicked look in her eyes--you get the feeling she really doesn't want to ask her question but can't help herself. "Why is the class called Escapism? T-That's not really what that word means..." Slate huffs. "That's correct. You can blame Miss Gossam for that, she thought it would be a more 'fun' title for the class back when she was the only one teaching it," she explains. "Now, are there any //important// questions?" Silence. "Then let's begin." She launches into a lecture on the basics of escaping from inside a predator, starting with the challenges faced by a person that finds themself inside a stomach. The lack of light and constant motion preventing you from finding the "exit", the pressure restricting your movement, and the complete disorientation that comes with being inside another person. She moves on to explain the number one mistake untrained prey make: Not struggling with purpose. She uses Alice to illustrate, explaining that even though she's clearly moving a lot inside of her, there's no real plan behind her actions so they end up being completely inconsequential. Alice remains in her belly for the rest of class, the shifting in Slate's gut eventually slowing. It never stops completely, however, and the various bulges from Alice's body never fade. The class seems to drag on forever, but eventually Slate reaches the end of her lesson. "Before I dismiss you, be aware that tomorrow's class will be a lab day. You will be performing live practice using each other so that I can gauge what level you're at. As such, you should be sure to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty," Slate instructs. She's resting a hand on the front of her belly. "As for you, Mercato, I hope this has been an enlightening experience." She turns away from the class a bit and pushes down on her gut. As efficiently as she went in, Alice is quickly forced back up Slate's throat and onto the ground. Her face is bright red and scowling as she gets to her feet. She's in surprisingly good condition for how long she was inside, not hurt at all and her outfit completely intact, if a bit disheveled. Her body is clearly wet and her hair is matted in several places, but she's not drenched or dripping with digestive fluids like you'd expect.<<if $aliceRel < 0>> It's a good look for her, in your eyes.<</if>> "Dismissed," Slate states, walking back to sit at her desk. Everyone begins to filter out of the room, giving Alice a wide berth as she storms out. <<AttendEscapism>>\ <<if ($aliceMin != 0) or ($aliceMax != 0)>>[[Catch up to Alice->Escapism- Alice]] <</if>>[[Leave class->September 2nd- Afternoon]]

"Maybe it's a good thing I missed it then," you reply. "Well, the actual teaching seemed pretty useful so I don't know about that," Emma says.

With the last of the sunlight draining from the sky and the lights in the courtyard flickering to life, you decide to head back.<</if>> <<if $aliceNecklace>>Just as you're nearing the door, you happen to glance back and notice Alice heading up the stairs, also on her way out of the dining hall.<<if $aliceRel < 0>> She seems to be alone, but a after a quick scan of the room you notice her two lackeys still at one of the tables.

Before long you're back in the dorm hall. In front of the door to your room, you pause, remembering Leah's invitation from earlier. It's a bit early, but close enough to seven that now would be a good time to head to her dorm. <<if $emmaInjured>>With Emma gone, it would also be nice to spend some time with someone before returning to the loneliness of your own dorm.

Sitting on the edge of one of the beds, slouched over with her hands in her lap is... Emma. "Heya, $name," she says in a weak voice, turning her head to you. Her eyes are puffy and red, and when she sees you and your engorged gut, her face seems to sink. "You've been busy..." You quickly lock the door behind you and waddle over toward her. Now that you've had a moment to process, you realize just how bad of a state she's in. Her right arm is wrapped like a mummy and various other bandages are plastered across her skin. Her hair is messy and unmistakably shorter than it used to be, barely hanging lower than her chin and missing most of the orange that used to drape her shoulders. Even her outfit seems somber--her bright clothes replaced with a pale blue tank top and dark shorts. "Emma! You're--how did you..?" you say, taking a seat on your bed, which creaks a little under your weight. She doesn't answer, her eyes locked on your gut. There's a noticeable shift inside you and a loud //*glurk*// sound as your stomach works over Alex. Emma grimaces and looks away, a tear rolling down from her closed eyes. "She had class and Professor Juniper made her throw me up," she finally answers, speaking quickly. She sniffles and wipes her eye before continuing. "Now I feel awful. I'm going to bed." "Wait it's not even seven, why don-" "I said I'm going to bed!" Emma cries, heading to the bathroom. "I'm done with today!" You sit on your bed, a little stunned. You place your hands on your belly and look down, its mass so soft by now that your fingers slightly sink in. After surviving a close call so recently, you can't say you blame her for being upset about her roommate waltzing in with someone in their stomach. There's not really anything you can do about it at this point though. The bathroom door swings open and Emma steps back into the room. "Listen Emma I-" you try to say. "No," she grunts, crawling under her covers. You notice her wincing from putting pressure on her burns, struggling to find a comfortable position. "I'm... I'm glad you're still okay, $name, but leave me alone." <<Emma -1>> You purse your lips, but don't push her any further. With Emma fast asleep, or at least attempting to be, you spend the rest of the evening on your laptop, using headphones so you don't disturb her of course. It's actually quite relaxing, lounging on your bed with a hand on your softly gurgling belly, lit only by the glow of your screen. After a couple hours, you start to feel drowzy and decide it's time to sleep off the rest of your meal.<<else>>You find the room empty when you walk in. Emma must have gone to dinner and not come back yet.<<if $eatenByZoeyMulti>> That worries you a little, considering she seemed set on not leaving the room again, but maybe she just got hungry enough to risk it.<</if>> Plopping down on your bed, you lean back and give a playful squeeze to your bloated midsection. You pull out your laptop to pass the time, finding it to be a bit of a struggle with the added bulk in your way. After only a little while, the door clicks open and Emma walks back in... sporting a suspicious belly bulge. "Thanks for walking with me, see you later!" she says, waving to someone outside the room. "Oh, $name! Hey, glad you're still doing alright. <<if $eatenByZoeyMulti>>I see you had some fun while you were 'wandering'," she says, looking slightly annoyed when she notices your gut<<else>>The hunt went well, I take it," she says, eyeing your gut as she makes her way deeper into the room<</if>>. "Yeah, it looks like you had some fun of your own," you tease, nodding at her belly. She seems surprised and puts one of her hands on it. It's not huge, but definitely rounded and sticking out further than her slim stomach ever has. "Haha oh, no no, this is all just normal food from the dining hall," she laughs, jiggling it a little. "I was suddenly absolutely starving earlier, it was weird. Couldn't really avoid another trip out of the room." "Right," you say. It does check out--even if she'd eaten someone the instant you parted ways her belly wouldn't have shrunk that much already. "So who was that at the door?" "Oh that was Sunny!" she chirps. <<if $metSunny>>"I'd asked <<if $metMallory>>Mallory<<else>>this girl I met yesterday<</if>> to go get dinner with me since you weren't here, and then we ran into her in the buffet line! <<if $sunnyRel < 1>>She's actually really cool!<<else>>It was nice chatting with her again<</if>>" she explains.<<else>>"She's a junior I ran into at the dining hall, said she had no choice but to come say hi after watching me chug down so much pasta," she explains, laughing under her breath.

It was with Professor Juniper, she said they were having first-day lab, or something like that, and anyone that had living prey needed to let them out..." she explains. Her eyes start to water a little. "It had been over an hour just.. boiling inside her--$name, I-I was //gone//." She sniffles. "But somehow, when I heard that Juniper was right by us, I managed one last push hard enough for her to see I was still there. I was so far along that after Zoey threw me up, they had to bring me to the nurse's office..." She pauses and starts to sniffle almost constantly, a single tear dripping down her cheek.<<if $emmaRel > 2>> You put an arm around her shoulder and she immediately leans against you and starts to cry in earnest. "Oh $name it was horrible! Everything hurt a-and I was naked in front of so many people and..." she sobs. "And my hair! It was all gross and melted and mangled a-and the nurse had to cut it... and now it's awful! Everything's awful!" "Hey, hey, it's okay. I think it looks nice like this!" you tell her. "The important thing is that you're here now, it's over. I'm so sorry I just left you, I should have done something..." "N-No!" Emma cries, sitting up and wiping some of the tears off her face. "It was too late already, you would have just gotten yourself hurt too... the one thing I had to be happy about in there is that you were safe..." She hugs you for a moment, but grimaces and pulls back. "Sorry, the nurse patched up the worst of it but everything's kinda raw still..." "I'm just glad to have you back," you say. "I don't know how long that'll last, between Betty yesterday and this," she says with a weak, uncomfortable laugh. "But we both survived, right? At least I get to sleep in tomorrow..."<<else>>"Hey, it's alright," you say. "It's over now, the important thing is that you're alive." "Y-Yeah, you're right," she sniffles, composing herself. "It looks like we both survived the Monday Massacre, huh? No problem," she says with a sad laugh. "At least I get to sleep in tomorrow..."<</if>> You can tell she's still shaken by what happened, but she does her best to act tough and move past it. She asks about what happened in the class she missed and you explain<<if $aliceRel < 0>>, her mood seeming to lift a little when she finds out Alice also had a pretty bad day, though once you mention there being lab tomorrow you can see her heart sink<<else>>. When you mention that you're doing lab tomorrow, you can see her heart sink<</if>>. But, she stops herself from getting upset and says she'll probably be exempt after what happened. Apparently the burn cream the nurse used has the handy side effect of turning even an experienced predator's stomach from just a tiny taste, so she's hopeful that at the very least Slate will see that as unfair to the other student if a recent traumatic experience isn't enough to get out of it. After a while, you both decide to turn in for the night. Having already showered several times after her escape, Emma just quickly brushes her teeth and crawls into bed.

It's smooth and sagging a little, definitely smaller than at breakfast but still very large. She's flashing a peace sign at the camera with a big smile on her face, still wearing her sunglasses. Next, from a few hours later, there's a picture at an odd angle shot from below, looking up at her gut. She's sitting at a desk, only the lower half of her face visible due to the framing. Her belly has gotten considerably smaller, though it's still big enough to make her shirt ride up a fair amount. She's grabbing the soft bulge tight with her free hand, showing off how squishy it's gotten. "//She's making me super gassy in the middle of class :X You better not be making someone else gassy rn after I went through all this effort >:(//" Then, quite a bit later, there's one final batch of messages: "//Aaand she's all done!

It's another selfie of Sunny, only this time her stomach is flat and she's using her free hand to pull her shirt down, fully exposing her right breast.

You turn away from the door and start to walk back down the stairwell. When you're about to step onto the first floor, something knocks into your legs and sends you crashing to the ground. You see a pair of red heels in front of you and look up--it's Alice. She's inspecting her nails on one hand with the other on her hip, then tilts her head down to you with a look of complete disinterest. "Hey $name," she says. You start to push yourself back up but someone else suddenly throws themself on top of you and gets a tight grip on your arms, then another set of hands grabs your legs. Alice crouches down to get closer to you, a sadistic smile growing on her face. "Squirming on the floor is a good look for you." "What the fuck do you want? Don't you have 'other plans' to take care of?" you say, trying to hide your panic at the current situation. You turn your head back and see that Cassidy is pinning your arms, while Betty has your legs... and she's starting to remove your shoes. "Oh I do, I'm not settling for less than a sophomore meal today. But I guess you did something to really piss off Betty yesterday. I couldn't resist the opportunity to take you out of the picture," she sneers, bringing her face even closer to yours. "Enjoy the trip~" You feel your feet get shoved into the warm, wet embrace of Betty's mouth. You try to squirm away, but with the position you're in there's little you can do to fight it. As Betty starts to swallow you down deeper, Alice makes the situation even more hopeless by pinning your head beneath her foot. "Cass, get her backpack off," Alice commands. "On it!" Cassidy says, starting to wrestle one of your arms through the strap of your bag. "GET OFF... OF ME" you groan. Despite your best efforts to fight her off, the girl manages to unhook one of your arms, and once it's free removing the other is child's play. You hear your things get unceremoniously tossed aside. All the while you've been sinking deeper and deeper into Betty, almost all of your legs wrapped in moist, pulsating flesh by now. "Pathetic..." Alice says, pressing down harder on your head. "Oh yeah, so pathetic you needed three people to take me down," you say in a strained voice, not intending to give her the satisfaction of cowering or groveling. Betty just made it up to your ass, and now you can feel her and Cassidy working together to feed your hands into her mouth. With one more gulp your entire lower body slips into her constricting insides. Alice steps off of you and you're lifted up into the air, Betty repositioning herself to get you down more effectively.

Your eyes go wide and her scowl turns into a toothless smile as she starts to use her hand to push down on you, forcing you deeper into Betty at an accelerated rate. <<if $breastSize > 18>>Your chest is the only thing that gives her slight pause as you helplessly slide into her body<<else>>You slide helplessly into her body<</if>>, Alice's piercing eyes being the last thing you see before Betty's lips close around your head and seal you inside. "//*UUrpck*// Gah..." Betty lets out an odd mix of a cough and a burp as the last of you curls up into the tight embrace of her stomach. "That fucking hurt Alice, never force-//*uurp*//-feed me again," Betty growls, coughing a few more times. "Oh suck it up," Alice says. You feel something jab into your back through Betty's stomach. "Be grateful I let you have her in the first place." "This was so much fun!" Cassidy chimes in, followed by what you assume is the feeling of her cradling Betty's gut. "Can we, like, catch one for me too?" "No, I need at least one of you in a position to be useful later. I only indulged Betty with this because $name really needed to be put in her place." "LET ME GO ASSHOLES!" you scream, starting to thrash around inside Betty. The awkward position you're in from going down feet first isn't doing you any favors. The stomach walls clench hard around you in response to your protest. "//*OOOURRP*// Not a chance, bitch. Garbage like you is barely even fit to be food," Betty sneers. "You know, you wouldn't be here if you hadn't <<if $emmaRelation1 > 1>>fucked with<<else>>interrupted<</if>> me //*urp*// yesterday. But now I get to use you as an appetizer--as soon as you're done melting, breaking down, churning into the fat you were always meant to be, I'm just going to go find Emma again," she laughs. You hear a dull, muffled thud somewhere nearby. "Hmm, shame, she didn't keep her room key in her bag," Alice says. "I should have had Cassidy take it off of her so we could pay that blonde brat a visit later. It might not digest, Betty, keep an eye out for it when you're done with her." "Uh, gross? No, I'm not gonna do that." "Then I'll just make you cough it up once she's gone. Come on, we're moving."<<set $sceneAttack to 0>><<set $sceneDefense to 0>> <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "preyOptions">></div>

<<if $acidStage < 2>><<set $time to 9.75>><<include "TIME">>Refusing to be made into a meal by Alice and her crew, you lash out at the walls with all of your might. <<if $acidStage is 0>>You keep <<else>>Even as acid is being splashed up into your face from the motion, you keep up your onslaught, <</if>>thrashing about without giving her a moment to rest. You can feel the stomach walls starting to stiffen a bit and let out a few strange sounding grumbles--it's working. "//*uuUURrp*// Jesus you're feisty<<if $acidStage > 0>> all of a sudden<</if>>," Betty says, stopping in her tracks<<if $acidStage is 0>> after only just starting to move<</if>>. "You think I ca-//*Urp*//-can't take it? Try m//hrk//-"<<if $acidStage is 0>> "Are you, like, okay Betty?" Cassidy asks.<</if>> You're breathing is heavy and by now you're sweating from more than just the heat, but you're determined to break free. You keep fighting against the walls and shifting within your slimy prison, managing to work yourself into an odd position where you're pretty much laying horizontally. With one more good blow the stomach walls crush in on you hard and an undulating pressure begins to try and force you upward--this is it! "You can't be serious," Alice and Betty say at the exact same time, Betty in a much more strained tone. Just as she finishes talking you start to get pushed back up into her esophagus and you feel her clutch her gut. It only takes a few seconds before your face is sliding back over her tongue and her lips part, letting light finally shine on you again. You're greeted by a very judgemental Alice as the rest of your head breaks free, looking down on Betty with her arms crossed and a scowl on her face. It doesn't take long before you're completely free again, collapsed in a slimy heap on the floor. <<if $turn < 3>>Knowing you're not out of danger yet, you get to your feet as quickly as possible and back away a bit from the group. Your clothes and hair are completely soaked with Betty's saliva and stomach acid, and you're pretty exhausted from the escape, but otherwise you're still feeling fine. Betty is knelt over on the ground coughing, with Cassidy patting her back. "That was what? 1 minute? Stunning work Betty," Alice chides. "Maybe I need to reconsider where we stand." "<<if $eatenByAlice or $eatenByAliceCookout>>She got out of you too bitch...<<else>>Fuck you...<</if>>" Betty replies between coughs. <<if $eatenByAlice or $eatenByAliceCookout>>"Yeah don't be so smug, I made short work of you yesterday too," you gloat, giving the group a wide berth as you walk over to pick up your bag. "Now I hope you've learned your lesson this time, but if we do this again at least let me try the third one on for size alright?" you add, winking at Cassidy. The look on Alice's face tells you she's considering going back on her decision not to eat you, so you make sure to hurry away from the scene once you have your bag in hand.<<else>>You walk over to pick your bag up off the ground, giving the group a wide berth. Not wanting to get Betty's juices on it, you hold it away from your body making as little contact as you can. Cassidy is giving you an eager look while she comforts Betty. "Hey Alice how about I-" she starts to say. "No, I don't want to turn this into an even bigger embarrassment," Alice grumbles. "If you think this is over, you're wrong," she says, glaring at you. "Of course, someone needs to pay for ruining this outfit," you say, starting to head down the hall without waiting for a response.<</if>><<else>>You're exhausted and a little disoriented from the escape, staying where you are on the ground for a bit to orient yourself. Taking a deep breath of fresh air, you finally get back on your feet and step back from the scene of the crime. You can feel that your clothes are in tatters from the time spent inside Betty, your shirt basically gone but your <<if $outfit is "uniform">>skirt<<else>>shorts<</if>> surprisingly still completely intact other than some fraying at the edges. Luckily, you can still feel your room key where you left it--tucked into your bra. "What an embarrassment..." Alice sighs. "Maybe I need to reconsider where we stand, Betty." "<<if $eatenByAlice or $eatenByAliceCookout>>She got out of you too bitch...<<else>>Fuck you...<</if>>" Betty replies between coughs. Looking around, you notice that you're nearly in the same hallway as your dorm, only a few doors away. You start to back away from the group toward safety.<<set $folder to false>><</if>><<else>><<set $time to 10>><<include "TIME">><<set $folder to false>><<set $outfitState to "gone">>Your head is starting to get hazy from all the time you've spent stewing away, but you're determined to escape. Using the jostling from the stairs to your advantage, you muster all your strength and thrust your legs forward. It works--you feel Betty lose her balance and fall forward. A second later your shins are struck by something hard, the stomach walls compress and squish tight around you, and after a terrifying moment of being completely submerged in acid your head is forced back up into her esophagus. The moment your head pushes out, the flood gates are opened and the rest of you is rocketed out of her, sent sliding across the landing at the top of the stairs in a pool of vomit. Finally freed from the dank confines of her stomach, you gasp for fresh air, too exhausted initially to even pick yourself up off the ground. Shakily you push yourself up onto all fours. You spot something shining in the mess of bile right in front of you and grab it. "Seriously Betty?" Alice grumbles. "This is just embarrassing..." "<<if $eatenByAlice or $eatenByAliceCookout>>She got out of you too bitch...<<else>>Fuck you...<</if>>" Betty replies between coughs. Something splatters onto your back and you jolt to attention, getting to your feet with your key held tight. Alice is standing right next to you, looking furious. Did she... spit on you? You don't have time to worry about it as it suddenly comes to your attention that you're completely exposed, your clothes melted away by Betty's acids. You can see a few tiny scraps still floating in the pool on the floor. "I'm still not going to bother with you today, $name, so count your blessings," Alice says. "Now get out of my sight." Your head's still a bit fuzzy and you can't quite think of anything to respond with. Instead, you reach out and put your free hand on her face, smearing it with the disgusting slime you're coated in. "//Eeugh!//" Alice shrieks, jumping back and frantically trying to wipe it off. You hurry toward the stairs before she can try anything in retaliation, passing by Betty who's still slouched on the top step looking sick. <<Alice -1>><</if>> <<include "playerPreyEscape">>[[Hurry to your dorm->Betty- Recovery]]

As you round the corner to head to class, however, you walk straight into another girl. "Oh s-sorry about that," you say, taking a step back. She's a little on the heavier side and incredibly tall, to the point that you have to look up to see her face. Her orange hair is very messy, even obscuring her eyes a bit in places, and her face is drenched with freckles. She's giving you a wicked grin. "You lost freshie? Just went up those stairs a minute ago and you're already back," the girl says, stepping forward to close the space you gave her. You try to step away again but she grabs your shirt to hold you in place. "Uh, I gotta g-get to class..." you stutter, trying to push her hand away. "Oh don't worry, I know where you need to go," she tells you. One of her legs sweeps behind yours, knocking you onto your knees. "Here, I'll help you along~" "Uh-" Before you can manage to protest or move away, the girl turns around, pulls down her panties, and pushes your head under her skirt in a shockingly quick and fluid motion.<<else>><<if $walkEmma>>You start heading down the hallway, straight to the classroom, hoping that being a little early will mean there are less people prowling the halls. However, when you turn around the corner you walk straight into another girl.<<else>>You start heading down the hall to class. If you're remembering correctly, it should be the last room on the right if you just go straight from the dorm hallway. Just as you're passing the intersection with the main hall, a girl steps out in front of you and you walk directly into her.<</if>> "Oh s-sorry about that," you say, taking a step back. She's a little on the heavier side and incredibly tall, to the point that you have to look up to see her face. Her orange hair is very messy, even obscuring her eyes a bit in places, and her face is drenched with freckles. She's giving you a wicked grin. "No worries kid, I know how you can make it up to me," she says, stepping forward to close the space you gave her. "Ya see, I just love the way newbies squirm..." You try to make a break for it, but before you've even made it one step she sweeps her leg under you and knocks you to the ground. As you start to try and get up, she grabs your hair and pulls your head up. She's squatting over you, giving you a view straight up her skirt. To your horror, she uses her free hand to pull down her panties and starts to drag you closer.<</if>> You're pressed firmly into her rear, your nose planted just below the girl's asshole. You try to use your arms to push her away, but you're stunned as, with a firm push to the back of your head, you suddenly find yourself squeezed into her body down to your neck. "Ah~, yeah, that's it," the girl grunts. Your head is wrapped tight by the warm, slick walls of her insides and a foul stench assaults your nose. You can feel the soft flesh of her thighs resting against your shoulders. While you're still processing what's happening, she manages to pry off your bag. Life has not adequately prepared you for this situation, but you try your best to escape, grabbing out for anything to use as leverage to pull your head free. Just as you grip her legs, she throws her weight down over you, forcing your body into hers. In the span of a second, you find yourself squished deep into the dark tunnel of her intestines, only your hands and legs left sticking out of her. The pressure is intense, the fleshy insides hugging your body tight, and you're sliding even deeper in. You're helpless as you feel the girl get back on her feet, then effortlessly pull in the rest of you using only her inner muscles. It's over--you feel her anus close around your toes, sealing you inside the rank confines of her body. "Mmmm..." the girl moans. You feel her pat her belly. "Damn do I love freshman move in." "Honestly Matilda, I can't believe you do this kind of shit right in the middle of the hall. Have a little class," you hear a muffled voice comment. You can't make out her voice well enough to tell if it was meant seriously or in jest. Everything happened so quickly that you hadn't even realized there was someone else with her. "Oh you're one to talk Maeve, waddling around with two in the tank," your captor replies. "Just a little bit excessive, don't you think?" "Only one of us waddles, and it's not the one that can keep the pounds off," the other girl retorts. "Ha! You're off your game M, that was weak," Matilda replies. You can feel her laughter reverberating through her body. <<if $sunnyInfo1 is 1>>Your heart skips a beat as a realization hits you. Maeve. Like, "queen of the school" Maeve that Sunny warned you about this morning. She even said she'd probably have a "tall ginger bitch" with her--fits the bill for the girl whose ass you've found yourself in. <<if $samInfo1 is 2>>If she's Sam's sister...<<else>>You never imagined things could go this south this fast.<</if>> <</if>><<if ($sunnyInfo1 is 1) and ($samInfo1 is 2)>><<set $maeveSisterRelation to 1>>"W-Wait is that Maeve?

"Oh come on, that's the easiest excuse you can pull, obviously she's bluffing," Matilda says. While this conversation is happening, you can feel yourself slowly sliding deeper into her intestines. "Yeah but she's a //freshman//, on the //first day//, how the fuck would she know we're related from just my name if Sam hadn't told her," Maeve replies. She sighs. "I'll talk to Sam later, just don't digest her got it?" "Don't need to worry there, as long as she struggles nice and good for me I was already planning on letting her back out... eventually," she laughs, rubbing you through the bulge of her gut. "With //someone// out here making comments about my weight, I figure it'd be good to leave a few of 'em around to play with." "You. Give me your name," Maeve says, much clearer and closer than before. You feel a sharp jab on your leg when she speaks. "<<print $name[0]>>-$name!" you reply. "If I find out you //are// lying, Matilda is going to be the least of your worries," she hisses. "Maeve, you look stupid talking to my belly like that," Matilda cuts in. "You look stupid all the time. Lets go." A chill runs down your spine from Maeve's comment. It seems like, at this point, Sam vouching for you might be your only hope of getting out of Matilda's rancid colon in one piece.<<else>>"L-Let me go! This is disgusting!" you shout, your words coming out a little slurred with how cramped your surroundings are. You can feel yourself slowly sliding deeper, odd groans and squishing sounds popping up around you as her intestines draw you in. "Aw, thanks!" Matilda laughs. "I try to keep it nice and fresh down there for my guests." You seem to finally come to a stop, the walls of her intestines still occasionally rippling and throbbing around you but nothing dragging you in. It's hard to get a good read on your position, but you feel like you're angled downward, your legs bent at the hip above your head. You try to push out with your arms, but the walls constricting you barely budge. "There you go freshie, you're getting it! Squirm nice and good for me in there~" Matilda purrs, running a hand along the form of your body in her stomach. "And you're a lucky girl you know! Been hearin' comments about my weight, not gonna name names, so I'm not gonna digest you. Need a few left to play around with, you know. Just keep me feeling good through the day and I'll let you back out in one piece... eventually." "I'm sure you'll eat one before the day is through anyway. Come on," you hear Maeve say. "Well a girl's gotta have lunch!" Matilda laughs.<</if>> You feel yourself sway and bounce as she starts to walk down the hall again, your body locked tight in her bowels. You were ready for the possibility of getting eaten, but not like this. Forced up someone's ass and treated like a toy--it's demeaning. You haven't even gotten to your first class yet, you can't let //this// be the end. <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "matildaSpecialSetup">></div>

<<set $time to 9.75>><<include "TIME">><<set $metCherry to true>><<set $wrongClassroomStars to "yes">>Feeling confident that it was room 135,<<if $walkEmma>> you check the numbers of the nearby rooms and head in what seems like the right direction, taking a right from the stairwell. As it turns out your decision of which hall to take was irrelevant; the room is right on the opposite corner of this block of halls.<<else>> you head down the hall in the same direction Emma went. When you reach the intersection you take a left, if you're reading the room numbers right it should be just around the corner this way.<</if>> To your relief you make it to the door of the classroom without encountering any of the upperclassmen. There are a few students inside already but it doesn't look like the teacher has started yet--this must be the place! None of the girls you can see through the window look familiar to you, but it's not like you've met every freshman already. Just as you grab the door handle, someone else approaches the room. "That's weird, I don't recognize you..." a fairly tall girl with black hair says to you. She has a stud in her nose and is wearing a black spaghetti strap tank top. What catches your attention more is the girl next to her, who has short, unnaturally bright red hair. "Me neither! You sure you got the right room?" the other girl says, stopping in front of you and leaning against the wall with one arm. She's wearing an unbuttoned red shirt over a short black tube top with frayed jean shorts, leaving most of her midriff exposed. Now that she's this close you notice that her eyes are red too. "This is Anal Vore II." You tense up, but do your best not to look panicked. This is absolutely //not// the right room. It might not be smart to admit that to them, but how are you going to get out of this if you don't when you're already at the door? [[Lie to Them->Wrong Door- Prove Yourself]] <<link "Admit Your Mistake">><<replace "#choices">> <<set $metProfStars to true>>There isn't much time to think about it, but you figure they'd pretty easily call your bluff anyway and decide to tell them the truth. You don't need to mention you're a freshman, what's the worst that could happen? "Oh shit yeah, that's not me. Must still be waking up," you say with a laugh that comes out much more nervous than you meant it to. The two girls exchange a look and smile. "Told you, //definitely// a freshman," the dark haired girl says, starting to walk around to the other side of you. "A <<if $fat >= 20>>plump<<else>>cute<</if>> one too! How do you want to choose Liv?" the red haired girl says<<if $fat >= 20>>, poking your pudgy belly<</if>>. You start to back away from the door but "Liv" puts a hand on your shoulder and grips it tight. "How about a little tug of war? If we're going to skip out on class for this might as well still get some practice in, eh?" she replies. You're sweating in place, but just as you're about to try making a break for it the door in front of you opens. "You won't be skipping class unless you want to spend the next one in my ass," a tall woman standing in the doorway says. She has blonde hair and glasses, and the look on her face tells you she's pleased with herself for that line. She's wearing a dark blue dress with a loose light blue shirt over it. "Olivia, Cherry. Quit harassing freshmen and get in here." Like dogs that just spotted a squirrel, all of the girls in the classroom snap their attention to you as soon as the woman says the word freshman. You'd laugh if you weren't terrified for your life. Luckily this seems to be the teacher, so you're hopeful that you've just been bailed out of this situation. "Yes Miss Stars..." Olivia sighs, letting go of you and trudging into the room. Cherry gives you a pat on the back and mouths "later" before following her friend in. "Now where are you supposed to be?" the woman asks you, hands on her hips. "I uh, I was looking for the room for Intro to Vore?" you tell her. She sighs. "You're probably one of Juniper's, I don't want her getting mad at me. You'll be in 115, hurry if you don't want to be late," she says, making a 'shoo' gesture with her hand. "Thank you ma'am!" you say, immediately taking off back up the hall. "Don't call me ma'am, I'm not that old!" she shouts after you. [[Hurry to class->September 2nd- Intro to Vore I]] <</replace>><</link>>

<<set $wrongClassroomStars to "tested">>There isn't much time to think about it, so without considering what your next step will be you decide you're going to try and lie your way out of this. "Of course I am, I can't say I remember you guys from last year either," you say as confidently as you can manage. You take your hand off the door and start to consider your next move for getting out of this. The red haired girl whispers something to the other one, then they both smile. "Well great, that's perfect! I was hoping for someone to give me a quick refresher before class, summer has my brain all frazzled. You can help me out right?" the dark haired girl asks excitedly, grabbing your arm and starting to pull you along with her down the hall without waiting for you to respond. "Uh, well-" you start to stammer, but get cut off by the redhead. "My name's Cherry and that's Olivia, since I guess we haven't met somehow," she says, grinning. "Who the hell are you?" "Er, $name... Listen I-" you reply, still getting dragged down the hall by Olivia. "Good, no one else is in here, let's get started!" Olivia beams, cutting you off yet again. She pulls you into a bathroom, finally letting go once you're all through the door. She locks it behind you, and before you can say anything Cherry puts her hands on your shoulders and starts to guide you toward one of the stalls, sliding your backpack off in the process. "This is a private enough spot right? Let's get started!" she says, pushing you into the stall. You've pretty much lost any confidence you had at this point, backed up against the toilet with your hands on the walls beside you and a worried look in your eyes. Both of the girls are standing at the entrance, staring at you expectantly. "Well?" Cherry asks, raising an eyebrow. "W-what?" you reply. "You're giving us a demonstration, showing her how it's done!" she says, patting Olivia's back. "How you gonna do that when you're all covered up?" "Yeah, you gotta lose the shorts if you're ever gonna fit me up there," Olivia says, taking her shoes off and stepping forward. "You sure you know how to do this? Someone who's already done a semester of this should-" "YES! Yeah, of course I know what to do, I just... I uh..." you spit out, sweating. "God, hurry up up then! We don't have long before class," she says. With a another step forward and a quick hand motion she snaps open your button and unzips your shorts. "Here I'll just-" "NO!" you shout out, slapping her hand away. You start to blush. "I-I'll get it..." Not seeing any other way forward, you gently slide your shorts down your legs and deposit them on the floor. "You're embarrassed just from that?" Olivia says, stifling a laugh. "You know I'm going under the panties too, right? I'm starting to think maybe I should be giving //you// the demonstration here..." "Oh come on Liv, you asked for her help, let her show you how it's done!" Cherry chimes in. She's leaning against the right wall of the stall with an amused look on her face. "$name's the master here, she doesn't need your advice." "I never said I w-" "Right, right! Ok then 'master'," Olivia says, laughing, "you're the predator and I'm the prey, show me how it's done!" They've clearly called your bluff and are just seeing how far you'll take it. You're starting to think this might be worse than just letting one of them eat you and taking your chances there--you've never experimented with putting //anything// in your butt, skipping straight to shoving an entire stranger up there is sure to be an unpleasant experience even if you do manage to pull it off. But you're already this deep into it, and if she's really going to just let you do it... "Yeah, uh, alright, so... get under me?" you say with a gulp. "Of course! So wise, I've been trying to remember the proper angle of approach this whole time," Olivia says with a stupid grin on her face. She gets down on her knees and looks up at you, barely concealing her amusement as she waits for more instructions. You turn around and bend over with your hands on the toilet seat. After taking a deep breath, you pull your panties down just enough to expose your bare ass to the two girls. "Alright so, uh, the key is to always start with... the arms," you say, looking over your shoulder worriedly. "That way they have a harder time breaking free once you've started." "Right, that rings a bell. Here I'll help you get started..." Olivia says. You tense up as a hand grabs one of your cheeks and pulls it aside, then gasp and nearly drop yourself as her other hand thrusts straight inside you. A moment later she slides her initial hand in to join the other, your anus stretched tight around her wrists. "Alright, now pull me in!" <<link "Here goes nothing...">> <<set _checkType to "anal">> <<set _aggressive to false>> <<set _baseline to 8>> <<set _modifier to 0>> <<set $stamina -= 5>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<goto "Prove Yourself- Success">> <<else>> <<goto "Prove Yourself- Failure">> <</if>> <</link>> <<link "Can't afford to fail, give it all you've got">> <<set _checkType to "anal">> <<set _aggressive to true>> <<set _baseline to 8>> <<set _modifier to -2>> <<set $stamina -= 10>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<goto "Prove Yourself- Success">> <<else>> <<goto "Prove Yourself- Failure">> <</if>> <</link>>

<<set $preySize to 5>><<set $fullness += $preySize>><<set $time to 10>><<include "TIME">>It seems impossible, you're already feeling uncomfortable from just the pressure of her hands, but at this point you're way too deep in to not at least try. You clench your muscles experimentally, getting a feel for how to even pull //in// effectively down there. "Gotta say, I don't think 'massage your prey's hands' was one of the steps we were taught," Olivia says. "Not that this doesn--Whoop!" @@color:yellowgreen;Somehow, you've done it.@@ Making your first real attempt, you tug her in a few inches. Encouraged by the feeling of her sliding in, you strain yourself to keep up the pressure and manage to get her in up to her elbows before needing to stop and rest. You can feel that her head is close enough to your hole that it's slightly spreading your cheeks, and having her this deep in... you're starting to get why some people prefer this method. "There we go, you're gettin' it," Cherry chimes in. A part of you somehow managed to forget she was there watching all of this. "What do you mean 'getting it'? She's clearly an expert, it's why sh-mmph!" Mid-sentence, you reach back one arm and press Olivia's head into your rear. Taking a deep breath, you push in with your hand, clench your inner muscles, and even lean back into her all at once. With an odd //*shlurk*// sound her head is forced inside, along with her arms nearly up to the shoulder. "Aaah~! F-Fuck..." you cry out as you feel her arms shift deep into your intestines. Your face is as red as Cherry's hair knowing that she's just watching this happen. You look down, panting slightly while you recover, and place a hand on your abdomen curiously. Her arms and head are making pretty distinct bulges, but it's not like that's a new sensation. What's fascinating to you in the moment is that you can see it swell up as it's happening--normally your prey gets in the way of seeing your own belly until it's already full. You squeeze your muscles and pull her in a bit further, up to her shoulders, watching the bulges grow and adjust in your belly. "Hey, that was actually a pretty good move!" Olivia says, muffled by your body. The vibrations of her talking send a tingle up your spine. "Yeah, it almost looks like you might know what you're doing," Cherry says. "Who said... I didn't..." you reply, a little strained. As pleasant as the pressure on the inside is, having your sphincter stretched this far is still pretty painful, and you're feeling ready to be done with this even though you still have most of her body to go. Getting a little more bold now that you've got the widest part of her in, you start to sit down over her rather than pull with your muscles. You let out an involuntary moan as, slowly but surely, her entire torso slides into your rectum. You end up making it just past her butt before ending up splayed on the ground with her legs sprouting out from under you. "Hope you're taking notes in there Liv, this is some good stuff," you hear Cherry laugh from behind you. Down to her thighs, you're in the home stretch now. Despite very clearly being exhausted, knowing that you're over the hump fills you with confidence to get this done. You lean back a bit with your legs raised and clench your muscles tight, pulling in the rest of her legs as quickly as you can. You keep up the pressure until finally you feel her toes graze your skin. You reach your arms around your bulging gut, and with both hands force her feet inside you. At long last your hole is relieved of the pressure and clenches shut, sealing the girl inside you. You collapse back, sprawled out on the ground and panting from the ordeal, your cheeks rosy with both pleasure and embarrassment. "Hahh... And that's how it's done..." you say. Cherry is looming over you with a big grin on her face. She starts to slow clap. "Bravo, $name!" she laughs. "Never seen a freshie manage to go all the way without practice." "Haha yeah I can tell this is your first time, it's tight //as hell// in here," Olivia says from inside you. "It's a bit cozy to be totally real with you, and I'm sure it feels great for you... but intestines ain't the nicest smelling place, so how about we end this demonstration now?" "Uh, yeah..." you say. You struggle up into a sitting position, taking a moment to admire your gut. You've never had anyone this deep inside you before, it's a distinctly different feeling than having someone in your stomach. The pressure is more intense, but in a good way, like you're wrapped tight around your prey rather than just holding them inside you. The bulge Olivia is making even looks different than usual--your belly is resting a bit lower and you can actually vaguely see how she's bent around the curvature of your intestines. You jump a bit from a sudden movement deep in your bowels. "Hello? Letting me out time yeah? I'm definitely gonna hurt you if I get out on my own, so I'd rather not," Olivia says, prodding your insides again. "Oh yeah, it's cool that you were able to pull it off at all, but if she'd resisted even a little bit you'd have been fucked," Cherry says. She offers you a hand getting back onto your feet. "Uh, alright then, let's get you out of there," you say. Thinking about it, you aren't sure you want to let her out. You're safe from Cherry with this big of a gut, while if you let her out you'll be left with two potential predators while you're exhausted, not to mention that it feels incredible having her in there... <<link "Push her out">><<replace "#choice">><<set $fullness -= $preySize>><<set $preySize to 0>>Knowing you'd just end up having to deal with an angrier Olivia if you didn't listen, you decide to let her out. She made you squirm with just a poke, there's no way you could keep her in if she were to really start to struggle. You're not quite sure what the best way to go about this is, but you can feel that her feet are still pretty close to the exit so you decide to just... go for it. You squat down, facing away from Cherry, and start to push as hard as you can. At least this motion is familiar to you. Slowly but surely you feel her feet slide back down your rectum and push out into the world. You manage to get her out to about her knees before needing to give your muscles a break. "Hoo! It feels cold out there now..." Olivia says. She wiggles a bit inside of you and you gasp, leaning forward and grabbing the toilet again to brace yourself. Reflexively, you pull her a few inches deeper. "Heh, sorry, I'll sit still." With a deep breath you go back to pushing, slowly releasing the girl from your bowels. You look down at your belly, somewhat mesmerized by the movement of Olivia gently retracting from your intestines and sliding back through you. When you get to her hips you pause again, your rear once more painfully pushed to its limits. "Here, I'll help you out," Cherry says mischeviously. "Wait don't-" you try to say, having a feeling you know what she's about to do. Cherry ignores your plea, grabs Olivia's legs, and yanks her backwards. You yelp and grip the seat tight as your prey gets rapidly pulled back out of you. In less time than it took just to get to her knees, her entire torso races out of your ass, leaving only her head inside with your sphincter gripped tight around her neck. After she has a moment to adjust to the sudden change herself, you feel Olivia's hands reach up to grab your cheeks. She pushes on you and pulls herself back, freeing her head with an audible //*pop*//. "Whew, finally some fresh air!" Olivia says, getting back onto her feet. Her hair is in complete disarray and she's coated in a thin layer of a slimy substance. She starts to stretch herself out after being cramped into your insides. "By the way, not cool Cherry, I was trying //not// to hurt her." "I-I'm ok..." you say, rubbing your backside after the ordeal. Your legs are a bit wobbly as you rise back to an upright position. You almost immediately pull your panties back up, tired of being indecent. "Haha y'know, you're a good sport $name, I like you," Cherry says as you put your shorts back on. "Yeah I was totally gonna eat you as soon as you failed at this, but you gave me a pretty good ride! What class were you supposed to be at?" Olivia asks you. "Intro to Vore..." you say, still a little shakey. No sense pretending you're not a freshman anymore. "Prolly learned more here than you will your first day in that," Cherry chuckles. "Hmm... unless you're unlucky you've got Juniper for that, she was standing outside 115 when me and Cherry walked past. That's probably where you need to go," Olivia tells you, trying to fix her hair a bit. "Mmm, I'm definitely gonna have to miss class to go shower..." "You do smell," Cherry chimes in with a grin. The two of them step out of the stall so you can pass through. "Uh, thank you" you say, walking out and grabbing your bag. "I should probably get going..." "Catch you later!" Cherry says. You notice that she licks her lips afterwards and start to get worried again. "Maybe we'll do this again some time," Olivia says with a wink. You hurry back into the hall. <<set $analProficiency += 1>>@@color:lime;You do feel like you've learned something from this...@@ <<Cherry 1>> [[Go to Class->September 2nd- Intro to Vore I]]<</replace>><</link>> [[Pull her in->Prove Yourself- Anal Vore Olivia]]

You start doing your best to tense up the muscles in your gut and pull her even deeper into your digestive tract. Without any practice exerting control on this part of your body, movement is a bit slow, but you can feel her pushing deeper in. After a few moments the pressure inside you somehow grows even more intense than before, almost a little painful--she must have started to feed into your small intestine. "Hey I know you're not that experienced down here so, as a heads up, you want to do the //opposite// of what you're doing now," Olivia says, prodding you to get your attention again. Her words are a bit slurred, like she's having difficulty moving her mouth to get them out. You pause for a moment, knowing if she starts to resist there's no way you can manage, but having her this far along... "Oh right, right, just a second," you say with smug grin. Your predatory instincts have really kicked in and you're determined to finish what you started. Cherry is giving you a knowing smile. You take a deep breath, then clench your muscles as hard as you can. Immediately you start to feel her squeeze through your guts much faster than before, like your body is eager to get her packed away. Your bloated belly twitches and shifts as your prey is moved through the labyrinth of your intestines. "H-Hey woah, still wrong!" Olivia says, sounding worried for the first time. You can feel her start to struggle within you, the sensation making your whole body shiver, but you refuse to relent. "$name!" Her resistance only slows her passage a little bit, your guts still hungrily sliding her closer and closer to your stomach. You start to pant a bit from the exhaustion, but keep up the pressure. Then, with one of the most unusual sensations you've ever experienced, you feel her head pop out of your intestines and into your stomach. The rest of her follows suit and you watch as the bulge in your belly grows a bit larger and sags a bit lower than before from her transition into the looser organ. A bit to your surprise, her entry still elicits a belch even coming from the other end. @@color:lime;You feel like your ass is never going to be the same after this, but that might not be a bad thing...@@<<set $analProficiency += 1>> "I //said// to let me out," Olivia growls from inside your stomach, after a brief coughing fit.

"Hey, you asked for a demonstration, I'm just being thorough," you say with an evil smirk. You're lounging back against the toilet with one hand resting on your gut. "Pay close attention to this next part.~" "And a //beautiful// finish!" Cherry laughs. She walks over and plops down next to you with her legs crossed, poking at Olivia through your gut. "You know, I think I like you $name, doing this was a good call.

Olivia suddenly shouts<<if $preyHealth is 1>>, her voice cracking a little bit<</if>>. She seems to get a second wind, starting to thrash about much harder than she has been. You grab your gut to try and slow her movements a bit, already feeling nauseous from her renewed vigor. It doesn't have much effect, and you're afraid you may have flown too close to the sun after all. Sure enough, after a few seconds your stomach lurches and groans, then you feel the unmistakable sensation of something starting to push back up your throat. Except this something hasn't actually been //in// your throat until now, and somehow that's managed to make the feeling more unpleasant than usual. You try to swallow her back down, but your stomach isn't having it and before long an arm has sprouted from your mouth. With her hand out, Olivia starts to use any leverage she can get to wrench the rest of her body free. "I've been at this school for a full year, dealing with this shit constantly," she grunts, her head now free. She yanks her other arm free and uses it to painfully accelerate her exit. "How the hell did you think this would go? Idiot, you could have walked away with the respect of two upperclassmen if you'd just //listened to me// and stayed in your lane..." You slump over on the ground coughing, your chest feeling like it's burning. Your whole body feels strange after having her pass all the way through it, almost like you were stretched too thin and haven't quite returned to the same shape you were. The worst part is the taste left on your tongue--//much// worse than just vomit as a result of passing through every inch of your body. You look up at Olivia as you start to try and get back up, knowing you might be in danger now. She's standing a few feet away between you and the door to the stall, her back turned to you. Her body is completely coated in an array of your bodily fluids, which she's trying to wipe off to a degree into the puddle on the floor, and her clothes are basically gone, down to just her underwear and a few scraps of her outer clothes barely holding together. You can see some light red splotches on her arms and legs where the acids were really starting to dig in. "God it feels good to not be so cramped anymore..." she says, running her hands through her hair. She turns her head back to look at you, glaring. "You really thought you could digest me, huh? Bold move. It's too bad, you had some real skill getting that far, but it's all gonna go to waste now. Because I //know// I can digest you," she says, stepping closer and standing over you with her arms crossed. Her breathing is still a bit heavy from the effort of escaping, but the wild grin on her face tells you that's not going to slow her down at all. "Uh, listen..." you start to say. "What? You got so into that little 'demonstration' you were giving me, I think it's only fair that I get a turn too," she says, turning around. She bends over a bit and slaps her ass, laughing. <<include "playerPredFail">><<link "This is bad">> <<set _checkType to "prey">> <<set _baseline to 12>> <<set _modifier to 5>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<goto "Olivia- Revenge">> <<else>> <<set $stamina -= 5>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto "September 2nd- Dorm Before Lunch">> <</if>> <</link>>

You clench your muscles experimentally, getting a feel for how to even pull //in// effectively down there. "Gotta say, I don't think 'massage your prey's hands' was one of the steps we were taught," Olivia says. "Not that this doesn't feel kinda nice." With a deep breath you make your first real attempt at pulling her in. You clench hard and try to bring her in deeper, but she doesn't budge at all. All you've accomplished is gripping her hands even tighter for a few moments. You hear Olivia laugh behind you. "Is that seriously all you've got? That's just sad, I got at least a full arm in the first time we practiced in class," she says. @@color:orange;You weren't nearly skilled enough for this.@@ Her hands are abruptly yanked out of you, the sensation making you jolt forward again. This time, the surprise makes you lose your grip on the seat and your head splashes directly into the toilet. Cherry bursts out laughing. Before you can even pull yourself out, someone grips your hips and forces you backward. "Hah! Poor $name just can't catch a break," Cherry laughs. Coming to your senses after the quick turn of events, you realize that you're currently sitting //in// Olivia. She's started to swallow you ass-first, and given that you're currently not even wearing underwear... Before you can express your distress at the placement of her tongue, she swallows hard and your rear pushes deep into her throat, forcing you into an awkward position with your legs above your head. "Ow! Fuck, stop!" you cry out. Being swallowed aside, you aren't extroardinarily flexible and being folded against yourself this intensely is painful. You try to push yourself out, but Olivia grabs your arms without missing a beat the moment you reach down. She swallows again, sending a small wave of pain through your body as your legs are crushed even tighter against your chest. You're powerless to stop her as you get pulled deeper and deeper in, your back aching for release from the pressure. The undulations of her throat struggle against the mass of both halves of your body at once, making your journey very stuttered as only her deliberate swallows make any progress. You're almost relieved when your body finally starts to get deposited in her gut, allowing your back to begin unfolding into a more natural position. With another powerful gulp your head slides into her mouth and only your hands and feet are left hanging from her lips. She snakes her tongue between your legs and playfully licks the tip of your nose before sending the last of you down into the hot depths of her stomach. "//*Uuurp*// Hoo!--always a bit rough taking them that way," Olivia says, pounding her chest a few times and clearing her throat. "Sorry freshie, you just weren't very convincing. I think I preferred eating your ass to the opposite though.~" "But Liv, why didn't you eat her with //your// ass? You told her you wanted to practice before class, it would have been the perfect ending to the bit," you hear Cherry ask. "Fuck you're right," Olivia replies, starting to rub her belly. You feel her rise to her feet, then seemingly sit down again. "I straight fisted that girl though, you can't say I didn't //*urp*// commit to my role." "I'm still HERE!" you shout, pounding against the fleshy wall. Her gut is already starting to squeeze and knead your body, groaning as it prepares to handle the meal it's been given. "I need to get to class, let me out!" "Aw, don't worry, you'll probably be gone before it's even over," Olivia says. "//We// do have a class to get to though," Cherry points out. "Yeah but I don't want to be forced to //*OURP*// let her go, so I guess I'm skipping." "It's Stars, not Juniper." "Yeah but still, they all do it sometimes and I don't want to take the chance," Olivia says. "Wouldn't want to spoil my first massacre from the other side." "Well, you and I could always just practice here you know~" Cherry says. "It would basically be like going to class." "Pff, as if your little pucker could handle this gut.

<<set $time to 10.5>><<include "TIME">><<if $acidStage is 1>>Olivia is clearly straining to hold both of you inside of her, this could be the perfect opportunity to escape! Thinking fast, you push down as hard as you can on the bulging form of Cherry below you. "Ow, ow! Cherry I'm not kidding don--//Aaagh//!" Olivia cries out. You feel Cherry slide even deeper into her, and immediately her stomach crushes down on you so hard you're afraid you're going to pass out. After a few odd spasms from the walls, your head finds its way back into the opening above you and you're squeezed back up at a shocking rate. In a matter of seconds you find yourself thrown back into the world and lying on the cool bathroom tile. At first you just lay still, panting on the ground, completely disoriented from the suddenness of it all. You shakily push yourself up once your senses return to you. You can feel that your outfit is in rough shape and parts of your exposed skin are red with mild burns. "Fucking shit, Cherry..." Olivia says between coughs, clutching her distended belly. "I stopped for a reason..." "Hey, you gotta practice this stuff at some point, some of us can handle two meals no problem already," you faintly hear Cherry say from inside her. "I'm glad you see yourself as a meal, because practice is over," Olivia growls, her voice hoarse. "Oh come on, I put //myself// in here, don't act like you can stop me from taking myself out," Cherry retorts. While Olivia starts her second battle of the morning, you run out of the stall, eager to remove yourself from the situation.<<else>>You refuse to let it end like this, humiliated and then swallowed by a girl that's only one year ahead of you.

"I mean, do you //*urp*// hear all this sloshing? She's going //*Uuurp*// crazy in there." "Not really, but I know how I can listen closer~" "No Cherry I'm serious, hold off on the--//Haaahhn//," Olivia tries to say, but something under you suddenly shifts and she gives a strained moan. A moment later her stomach clamps down hard, immediately starting to squeeze you back up her throat. "God dammit... you f-//mmph//!" Before Olivia can even finish whatever insult she was going to hurl, your head pops back into her mouth. You can feel her try to swallow you back down, but another force starts to push up on you from below. Olivia doubles over onto the ground and you practically rocket out of her gullet and onto the cold bathroom tile. As soon as the last of you is out, you jump to your feet and turn around to face the pair of girls. You're pretty proud of yourself, breaking out of an upperclassman so fast that you're basically untouched, but your smug look turns to confusion at the scene in front of you. Olivia is bent over coughing on the ground after your escape, but her gut is still pretty sizeable and Cherry's legs are sprouting from her butt. You waste no time getting the hell out of there.<<else>><<set $outfitState to "gone">>"//*uurrrp*// Oookay you might want to hold off Cherry..." Olivia says. You can feel her trying to soothe her belly with her hands. "Why? It's only fair we both get a turn," comes the faint sound of Cherry's reply. "//*HUuurp*// Because you're right //*urp*// in the splash zone..." You feel Olivia's stomach clamp down hard, immediately starting to squeeze you back up her throat. "Then christen me with your shame," Cherry laughs. "'Cause if she gets out it just means I can finish this all the way." "You're disg-//mmph//!" Olivia starts to reply, but before she can get the words out your head pops back into her mouth. You can feel her try to swallow you back down, but she only manages to slow your escape. Her lips are forced to part around your head and as you return to the light of the room you're met with the sight of... Cherry staring directly up at you, naked and laying on the ground. She gives you a dainty wave with an amused smile on her face. Not long after the first of you returns to the outside world, Olivia loses any say in the fight for your freedom and you're rocketed forward with a wave of bile. You crash face-first onto the bathroom floor, your head too hazy from nearly being digested to really register any pain from the blow, and slide across the tile. Initially you land just ahead of where Cherry is planted, but as more of you comes out you can feel that you're starting to rub across her. When your feet finally break free of Olivia and plop to the ground unceremoniously, you find that you've stopped with her face directly between your hips. You quickly flip yourself over and off to the side and scurry backward away from them, slipping a bit from the pool of stomach acid now coating the floor. The scene ahead of you is bizarre- Cherry, partially splattered with vomit, is bent upsidedown against the toilet with Olivia, who's coughing and clutching her now empty stomach, thigh deep inside her. Cherry wipes the sludge off her face with one hand and you can see that she's blushing furiously. "Welcome back $name. At least take me out to dinner first next time," she says to you with a stupid grin on her face. You hadn't fully registered the position you were in before, but now you're blushing as well. You slowly get to your feet, nearly buckling under your own weight. Your skin is tingling all over and you can feel that your body isn't covered by anything but Olivia's digestive slime anymore. Just as you're about to run a thought hits you and you start to frantically dart your eyes around the aftermath of your escape. "Looking for this?" Cherry says, holding her arm out toward you with a shiny object in her hand. You can see that she's still sucking Olivia deeper into her, completely unphased by the turn of events. You quickly grab your room key from her and bolt out of the stall, not interested in sticking around these two for even a second longer.

After checking the time and seeing that you'd end up fairly late to class at this point anyways, you decide to just skip it altogether for today. Missing your very first class could be a bad look, but you have a good excuse and could use the extra recovery time. You fall back onto your bed and pull out your laptop to pass the time until lunch.<<if $day2SunnyFlirt>> After a little while, you feel your phone vibrate with a sudden barrage of messages. They're from Sunny! You open them up to take a look. //"Hey, hope you didn't think I was kidding nerd :P Your buddy is really getting in the way of my unpacking//" Below the message is a picture--an overhead selfie of Sunny in her cluttered room, her bloated belly fully in frame. It's smooth and sagging a little, definitely smaller than at breakfast but still very large. She's flashing a peace sign at the camera with a big smile on her face, still wearing her sunglasses. You grin and text back: "//Don't worry, she'll be out of your way before long//".<</if>> It isn't too long before you hear the door being unlocked and look over to find Emma returning to the room. She looks concerned when she sees that you're back before her. "Hey $name! Good to see you doing okay but, didn't you have class later than me?" she says.<<if $emmaRel > 2>> A second later her eyes go wide. "You're wearing different clothes than earlier... then-" "Yep..." you interrupt. "Wasn't an upperclassman thankfully, it was Betty. Her, Alice, and that other girl were waiting at the bottom of the stairs and jumped me. I couldn't really fight off all three of them taking me by surprise, but I got back out of her okay," you explain.<<else>> "Yeah, I ran into some trouble on the way there though and decided to call that class a loss for today," you say. "Oh no! What happened?" "Wasn't an upperclassman thankfully, it was Betty. Her, Alice, and that other girl were waiting at the bottom of the stairs and jumped me.

"Yeah I'm fine now, just a little tired," you reassure her. <<if $emmaRel > 3>>"I'm glad you're okay," she says with a smile. Then it morphs into a scowl, an unusual look for her. "One of us really needs to put her in her place..." "Betty or Alice?" you ask. "Both I guess," she shrugs. "There's two of //us// after all." "I've never seen you act so predatory before!" you say with a grin. "Well,<<if $emmaInfo3 is 1>> like I've said,<</if>> I only eat people that deserve it, and those two are clearly bad news!" she replies, back to smiling. "Speaking of eating, you hungry?

<<set $time to 12>><<include "TIME">><<set $metMaeve to true>><<set $metMatilda to true>>Not wanting to risk walking right into the middle of danger, you decide to take your chances skirting past the Lampton dorms to get there. You turn around and head the opposite direction, rounding the corner past the classroom and heading further down to the stairwell. To your relief, you only see a few other people in the halls, and they all mind their own business.<<if $metMallory>> One looks like it's Mallory from lunch yesterday, but she's too far away to be sure and you don't know the girl she's walking with. Not worth taking a risk to say hi.<</if>> Unfortunately, just as you're about to cross the intersection toward the dorm hall, you hear a loud groan echo through the halls. You start to back up as you hear steadily increasing stomach grumbling and sloshing sounds from somewhere nearby, but don't make it far before the source comes into view. Rounding the corner toward you are two girls, both with distended, writhing bellies. One is a dark haired girl with green eyes and a sparse row of freckles running across her face.<<if $metSam>> She reminds you a lot of Sam.<</if>> Her gut is enormous, bigger than the rest of her body and hanging low. So many bumps and bulges break up its surface that there's no way it's just one person trapped inside. Even ignoring the belly, being in this girl's presence sets you on edge, something about the look in her eyes sending a chill down your spine. The girl next to her is an extremely tall redhead that's completely painted in freckles. Her gut is much smaller, and her prey looks to be packed in tight. <<if $sunnyInfo1 is 1>>Your heart skips a beat as you process the scene in front of you. Everything matches up exactly with the girl Sunny warned you about earlier--you're in serious danger.<</if>> "Looks like we got another one, Maeve," the redhead says with a wicked grin. "Where are you going all alone?" the dark haired girl says in a sinister tone. "Don't you know there's a massacre going on today?" "Uh... I'm just going to lunch," you say, taking a step back as the two get uncomfortably close. The clear imprint of a hand pushes out toward you through her stomach for a moment. You start to turn to run. "Uh-uh!" Maeve chides. "Running away from two new friends would just be rude, and if Matilda has to chase after you on a full stomach you're not gonna like what I let her do to you." The redhead licks her lips at you and mouths "do it". You swallow nervously, but stay put. "There, that's a good girl. Now tell me, do you know who I am?" Maeve asks with a crooked smile. <<if $sunnyInfo1 is 1>>"Y-You're Maeve Mckenn," you stammer.<<if $samInfo1 is 2>>"I'm friends with your sister, Sam!" you quickly add, remembering what Sam told you at lunch.<<else>> "Very good! I see you've been mingling above your grade already," she replies, stepping so close to you that you can feel some of the bulges of her gut rub against you. "Or maybe they decided to put me in orientation this year," she laughs. "You see, around here they call me a queen, and this whole school is my kingdom."<</if>><<elseif $samInfo1 is 2>>You think for a second, and the pieces finally click in your head. The resemblence, the name Maeve--this must be Sam's sister. "Are you, uh, Maeve? Maeve Mckenn? I'm friends with your sister, Sam," you reply, following Sam's advice.<<else>>"N-No, sorry," you reply. "Well, you really should," she says, stepping so close to you that you can feel some of the bulges of her gut rub against you. Even though she's basically the same height as you, a little shorter if anything in fact, her glare makes you feel like she's towering over you. "I'm Maeve, and around here they call me a queen. That's not something you're gonna want to forget."<</if>> <<if $samInfo1 is 2>><<set $maeveSisterRelation to 1>>"God damn it..." Maeve sighs, her demeanor immediately seeming to shift. "I really didn't think she'd cause problems this quickly." "That's all it takes to stop the queen in her tracks, huh?" Matilda says, bursting out laughing. Maeve glares at her. "Give me your name, now," Maeve demands, staring daggers at you. "Uh, $name $last?" you reply, sweating in place a little. "Alright $name, let me tell you something. I'd never do anything to hurt my sister, so I'm gonna let you go here. I'm sure that's why she told you to say that," she says, walking next to you. She suddenly wraps an arm around your neck and pulls you in close, amplifying the sounds of her writhing gut. "That is, if she told you anything at all. Because if I find out you lied to me just now... there are worse things I can do than just eat you," she hisses in your ear before releasing her grip. "It's the truth," you say with a cough. "Let's go Matilda," Maeve growls. The two of them take off down the hall, Matilda still amused by the turn of events from the sounds of it. You continue on toward Lampton, praying that Sam will actually vouch for you when Maeve talks to her. [[Move on to lunch->September 2nd- Lunch Alone]]<<else>>"Got it..." you say. You try to shrink away from her, but you can still feel her heat. "Now, you're actually in luck! I'd rather not be dragging three of you around all day, so I'll let you off easy," she says. "Now that you know I'm royalty, I expect a proper greeting. Bow to your queen, and you're free to go." <<link "Bow">><<replace "#choices">>"O-Of course," you stammer. Her presence is overpowering, and the last thing you want to do is anger someone who has two //still struggling// prey in her gut without even being phased, so you can't help but comply, even if it is demeaning. You step back to make room, then lean over into a bow. "No no, all the way. On your knees," she commands. You comply, nervously getting down on the ground and completely prostrating yourself in front of her. You hear Matilda laugh off to the side. "Very good!" Maeve says. "Now, get back up, there's actually one more thing I need from you before you go." "W-What is it?" you ask. "My lunch is acting awfully unruly, surely you'd be willing to help soothe your queen's aching belly," she replies, grinning. She's not even gassy so it's clearly a lie, but you know what she wants you to do. "Yes..." you say, reaching out and placing your hands on her bloated belly. You start to gently run them along the strained skin. "Yes..?" "Yes... y-your highness," you mumble, continuing with your massage. "Haha! You really got this one quick," Matilda laughs. "Mmm, she's smart. The obedient ones live the longest," Maeve says. "You need to get in deeper than that if you want to do this right, though." With that, she suddenly grabs your head and shoves it into her belly, pressing your face in hard. You can hear the sloshing and churning ringing through your ears as the poor girls inside face digestion. You can even hear weak, muffled cries for help. She keeps your head held tight, pushing you in so hard that you can't breathe. Starting to panic, you instinctively push against her as hard as you can to try and free yourself. There's a sickening //*squelch*// sound inside her gut from the pressure. Just as you're starting to feel lightheaded, she releases her hold and lets out a huge belch. You were pushing so hard that you throw yourself backwards onto the ground when she lets up, gasping for air. "//*UUUUUURRRP*// That's more like it," she jeers. Her and Matilda start laughing together and continue on their way down the hall, leaving you disoriented on the ground. You get back on your feet, humiliated, and start to head to the dining hall again. At least she was telling the truth about not eating you.

Somehow you've actually become accustomed to the stench that permeates the tunnel you're packed into, but it's far from comfortable. Your muscles have grown stiff and cramped from being held tight and left at odd angles along the path of her guts. Over the course of her class, you were slowly pulled deeper into her digestive system, dragged out of her colon and into her small intestine. Your new surroundings squeeze you even tighter than before, and your worry at how truthful she was being about letting you out grows. After the class ends and Matilda is back on the move, you hear a deep groan emanate from above you. The flesh around you tenses up for a moment and drags you back an inch or two, as if trying to answer her stomach's call. "Fuck I'm hungry... I don't think my stomach is happy about our little arrangement," Matilda says, poking the bulge in her belly. "Did you enjoy taking an advanced class, freshie? I didn't feel much moving, how thoughtful of you to not distract me." "Please just... let me out," you plead. "It's awful in here!" <<if $maeveSisterRelation != 1>>"You aren't really gonna ever let her out, right? Just finish pulling her in," Maeve says. "No no, me and this one are having fun! <<if $progress > 1>>She's doing a really good job in there so far, love the obedient ones," Matilda says. "I'll just grab another to eat!<<else>>I think maybe she likes it in there though, I haven't felt much struggling. So unless she picks up the slack, she can stay," Matilda replies, patting your back to make sure you got the message. "But that's for later, I'll just grab another for now!<</if>> Juniper's class is probably gettin' out about now, it'll be like a buffet."<<else>>"Seeing as this one's more of a prisoner right now, think it's time for a bit more hunting," Matilda says, ignoring you. "Juniper's class is probably gettin' out about now, it'll be like a buffet."<</if>> "Fine," Maeve grumbles. The two of them continue through the halls, dragging you along in the squishy embrace of her digestive tract. Though you're uncomfortable, you feel like you've rested enough to make another attempt at breaking free. The thought that she might eat someone while you're still in here is all the more motivating. <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "matildaSpecialSetup">></div>

<<set $matildaPleasured to true>><<if $turn is 1>>While Matilda and Maeve make their way downstairs, you rage against the walls surrounding you. Thrashing your body wildly, pushing out with your arms, even attempting to bite the flesh around your head--you try it all. You feel Matilda grip her gut and let out a very slight moan. She drums her fingers on the bloated skin and giggles under her breath. "You've been doing //fantastic// in there," she says to you. "I'd love to keep you around, but how could I go back on my word for such a good listener?<<if $maeveSisterRelation is 1>>" "No," Maeve butts in. "Huh?" "She's not going anywhere until I talk to Sam." "Haha, right, right. Sorry freshie, she's the boss around here, looks like we get to spend some more time together," Matilda says, patting your head. "I kinda hope you were lying, just to see what she does to you." "You can be sure //you're// not keeping her either way," Maeve grumbles.<<else>> You've earned your freedom... when I feel like it. Just sit tight for now, feel free to keep squirming a bit."<</if>> "I do need someone else to fill me up still though... There, that one," Matilda says in a quiet voice. You hear another groan rumble through her body. "She's perfect." "Go get her then. You're a big girl, you can handle it on your own," Maeve replies. "Scare off her friend for me? I'm semi-serious about being on a diet and I'll definitely just eat her too if she tries to get in the way." "Of course, why would I think that you could handle the easiest prey available without me," Maeve sighs, though even with her voice muffled you can tell it wasn't really said in an insulting way. "H-Hey, what are you-" an unknown voice starts to say before shrieking in surprise. You feel something press against you from the outside. "Kim! Let her go!" another voice yells. "Oh, Kim huh? Sorry kid, we already have one too many of those here," Matilda laughs. "Get off me!" the other girl shouts somewhere to your side. "Now now, no need to be rude," Maeve responds to her. You quickly lose focus on her situation as a strange sound coming from above grabs your attention. It's not hard to figure out what it is: Matilda has started swallowing her prey. You can hear the poor girl whimpering and pleading as she's forced down her throat, along with the gutteral squishing sound of her muscles dragging her in. Then you feel it. Something starts to push against you from behind and above, the pressure in your already cramped confines quickly intensifying as her stomach starts to demand more space in her abdomen. Matilda is efficient, at least, and in no time you're trapped tight against the squirming form of another girl. "//*URP*// That's what I'm talking about..." Matilda says. She grabs the sides of her belly and shakes it slightly. "You really hit the spot, Kim. Say hi to your roommate while you're in there! Sorry, but I think she's having a more fun trip than you will." "Wh-Where are you?" Kim whimpers. "I'm uh... deeper down," you reply, your words a bit slurred from how tight the walls are holding you at this point. You can feel her frantic movements rubbing against you. "She shoved me up her ass, right in the middle of the hall..." Kim's only response is a horrified gasp, followed by more intense struggling. You aren't sure what Maeve did to her friend, but you hear the other girl sobbing as she runs away from the scene.<<else>>Hopeful that you might have a little more luck with the added mass inside her body, you intensify your escape efforts. While you aren't exactly working together--the fact that you keep pushing and shoving each other unintentionally is actually a hinderance--your combined efforts seem to be having an effect on Matilda. You can hear her letting out little burps, and she's taken to gently massaging her belly. Unfortunately, with the added pressure you're fighting against you aren't able to struggle for long before you're completely exhausted. "You've been doing //fantastic// in there," she says to you. "I'd love to keep you around, but I have someone else to satisfy me for the rest of the night.<<if $maeveSisterRelation is 1>>" "No," Maeve butts in. "Huh?" "She's not going anywhere until I talk to Sam." "Haha, right, right. Sorry freshie, she's the boss around here, looks like we get to spend some more time together," Matilda says. "I kinda hope you were lying, just to see what she does to you." "You can be sure //you're// not keeping her either way" Maeve grumbles.<<else>> You've earned your freedom... when I feel like it. Just sit tight for now, feel free to keep squirming a bit."<</if>><</if>> With your work supposedly done, you try to just sit still and relax in the warmth of her body. The addition of another girl has made it impossible to stay even remotely comfortable, however. Her thrashing and fighting causes you to shake and shift constantly, not to mention some of her blows are hitting you. "Do you mind?" you grumble, growing very frustrated. "I just need to get out of here! I can't help it I'm sorry!" Kim cries. "Right..." you reply, a little ashamed that you were legitimately mad at //her// for a moment there. "You two better be playing nice in there!" Matilda teases. Her muscles crush you for a very brief moment. "//*Urrp*// You won't be together for much longer." "You know, I'm actually impressed Matty," Maeve muses. "Forcing her to experience the other girl getting digested up close and personal, even after she did what you wanted. That's diabolical." You feel Matilda stop in her tracks. "Matilda." Maeve huffs after an awkward pause. "Forget it. Let's go see how the airheads have managed to fuck up the room." Groaning and gurgling sounds echo through the body around you as Kim thrashes and squirms above you. You try to just focus on something else, your only hope at this point <<if $maeveSisterRelation is 1>>being that Sam actually vouches for you<<else>>being that Matilda was telling the truth. You've struggled this hard for this long--it's clear you're only coming out if she lets you out<</if>>. <<if $maeveSisterRelation is 1>>[[Stay calm and wait->Matilda- Bailed Out by Sam]]<<else>>[[Stay calm and wait->Matilda- Released]]<</if>> <<set $turn to 0>>

<<set $maeveDisrespect to true>>"What? No, you're crazy," you reply, taking a step back. You refuse to humiliate yourself, and considering both of them are clearly stuffed already you're feeling pretty bold<<if $sunnyInfo1 is 1>>, perhaps against your better judgement<</if>>. "Just let me through." Matilda smiles and steps away from the two of you. Maeve cocks her head to the side and twists her mouth into a shape that's somehow a grin and a frown at the same time. A tiny spark of fear snakes down your spine. "Really now," she says. "That's how you want to play this? I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give you one last chance to change your mind." She points a finger toward the floor in front of her. "It's not happening," you say, doing your best to stay confident. Maeve raises her eyebrows a little and glances over at Matilda, who's still watching eagerly. Seconds feel like hours as her emerald eyes pierce yours, but she lets out a little laugh and steps to the side, her gut bouncing with her movements. "Alright then little rebel, go ahead," she says, gesturing down the hall. You give her a skeptical look and take a step forward. She doesn't move. You decide to take the chance, walking forward as quickly as you can. Just as you pass her and start to think you're actually in the clear, you're grabbed from behind. In a swift, effortless motion, you're turned around and plunged face-first into Maeve's mouth. She holds you there, assaulting your head with her tongue while you try to squirm out of her grip. The rest of your body rests on her belly while she holds you in place. You can feel the shifting form of her other prey under you, having just as much success against her as you are. Eventually, she swallows, sending your head down into her throat. The slimy flesh undulates around you, gently tugging you deeper into her body. She does nothing else to assist your descent--no more swallows, no pushing you in from the outside--she simply lets her body dominate you on it's own. You hopelessly flail your legs and wiggle your body against her grip as you sink further into her. Eventually, your chest slides past the threshold of her lips and you find yourself stopped in place. Your head and neck are stuck fast in the crushing grip of her throat, her heartbeat pounding in your ears. You're so close to breaking through to her stomach that you can feel some of her prey's movements tugging at the flesh around you, and groaning, churning sounds of digestion drown out almost everything else. Yet still, she keeps you there. Her tongue darts around your chest, even sliding under your shirt to taste your flesh. Her efforts become uncomfortably intimate and you struggle as hard as you can, almost trying to push forward just to get it over with, but you're still held firmly in place. After having her fill, her tongue settles and there's a long pause. You brace yourself, anticipating another swallow to finally finish the job, but when the moment finally ends you find yourself getting pushed back out. Your head slides up her throat and out of the humid confines you'd been subject to, a playful lick tickling the tip of your nose before you're pulled all the way out and dropped to the floor. "Consider that a warning, a little tease of what happens to my disobedient subjects," Maeve says, licking her lips. Her voice sounds a little off compared to before. Coughing, you quickly get up and back away, your entire upper body drenched in saliva. Matilda is still standing off to the side, rubbing her belly and watching the scene unfold with a grin on her face. That means the coast is clear. You start to make a break for it down the hall, but Maeve calls out to you before you've made it more than a few steps. "Hold on, don't you need this?" she says. You glance back and see her holding up a key, a strand of saliva still tethering it to her mouth. Your room key. Your face turns bright red and you cross your arms in front of your chest--you'd had it tucked into your bra. She beckons for you to come back with a finger, and you find yourself obeyeing. "It seems awful dangerous to face today of all days without a way into your safe haven, don't you think?" she says. "Maybe there's something you'd like to say about your behavior earlier." You take a deep breath. She's right, you can't afford to lose your key, and it's become painfully clear <<if $sunnyInfo1 is 1>>why Sunny wanted you to stay away from this girl<<else>>how outclassed you are in this situation<</if>>.<<if $emmaRel > 2>> Not to mention you wouldn't be able to live with yourself if you subjected Emma to having a senior have access to her room.<</if>> With no other option, you bow like she'd requested. "I'm... I'm sorry..." you mumble. "For disrespecting your... authority. Please forgive me." "Decent grovelling, that's a good start," she says. She puts a hand on your chin and pulls your head up to face her. "But I think I need something important to you if you really want this back, a little trade. Give me your panties." "W-What?" you stammer. "I mean-" "Or I could just keep it. Maybe pay you and your roommate a visit later in the night, wouldn't that be an honor? Your choice." "I..." You sigh and quickly look around. No one but you, Maeve, and Matilda in the hall. With more than a little hesitation, you slide off your shorts. "That's it," Maeve sneers. Matilda is stifling a laugh, and both girls are eagerly watching you. As quickly as you can, you pull down your panties and step out of them. The air of the hall feels freezing as it licks at the parts of you that shouldn't be bare. You hurriedly pull your shorts back on, still feeling naked even though you're covered. With a somewhat shakey hand, you hold out your underwear toward Maeve. She snatches it, then flicks your key at you. "Your tribute is acceptable." You watch in disgust as she lowers your panties into her mouth and swallows them, never to be seen again. "Now never let me see you again." You sprint down the hall away from them as fast as you can, fully intending to heed her words. [[Get out of here->September 2nd- Lunch Alone]]

She lets out a massive belch and slides her back down the wall until she's sitting on the ground. She doesn't seem to pay you any mind as she massages her belly. You feel reasonably confident you could just walk past her to get out of the building, she does already have a meal, but it might not hurt to put some pep in your step.

"Hey Morgan, there's one more freshman out here that didn't run away," the girl says in a somewhat nasally voice, looking to her left. Grinning, she darts her eyes over to you without turning her head. "Mmm?" you hear a different voice answer. From an open doorway right next to the girl on the ground steps another one--also a brunette, but this one is taller and her hair is extremely long. She locks eyes with you, looking pretty disinterested. "Eh, I guess it //is// lunchtime." With that she immediately charges in your direction. You take off faster, however, breaking into a sprint instead of your leisurely walking pace as soon as she showed any interest. You keep moving without looking back, hearing her right on your heels. After only a few seconds of chase you hear her footsteps stop and the girl seems to give up. "Nah, not worth it," she says. You still don't look back and only slow down once you're in the lobby and feel like it's safe to assume she really did stop.

Just as you'd hoped with the grip she had, the other girl just has a shirt in her hand, while you have a confused Mandy held tight. <<if ($mandyEscaped != "released") and ($attackedMandyCookout is true)>>Somehow, she doesn't seem all that relieved to be in your arms.<</if>> You start to consider whether or not you could get away with eating her instead right now, but the other girl speaks up.

You aren't quick enough, however, and the girl grabs you from behind, putting an arm around your neck to hold you in place. Frantically, you push Mandy forward, almost hard enough to knock her over. @@color:orange;You have been overpowered.@@ "Go, get out of here!" you shout to her. In one fluid motion the brunette wraps another arm around your stomach and pulls you backward, then starts to turn you into a replacement meal. The last thing you see as her lips pass over your eyes is Mandy sprinting around the corner toward freedom. Whoever this girl is, you can immediately tell that she has serious experience. She seems to glide effortlessly down your body, holding you in just the right position that your arms are pinned uselessly at your sides and you can't get any leverage to try and throw her off of you. You do everything you can to squirm and slow your descent, but you're hopelessly dragged deeper and deeper into her throat. Warm flesh surrounds your upper body as your head and shoulders push into the elastic chamber of her stomach. Just as your midriff slides past her tongue, she seems to stop. You feel the world shift around you as the girl sits down on the ground. She still doesn't swallow, just tilts her head back and waits. You can feel yourself gently inching further in just from gravity and the subtle undulations of her throat, but it's unbearably slow. Your legs flail uselessly in the air above you, slowly disappearing into her maw. It's an extremely unpleasant position: the stark contrast between the sweltering heat of her body on your upper body and the air of the room on your legs, the heavy constriction of her throat coupled with the odd, rippling pressure of the walls as they desperately try to drag you down, the pooling saliva in her mouth coating your legs. You're almost inclined to squirm in the rest of the way on your own. After an agonizing minute or so of useless fighting, the girl finally seems to get bored. She swallows just as your knees were about to slide into her mouth, dragging you in much deeper. With another few gulps, you're completely sealed within her, the last of your legs pushing down through her esophagus to join the rest of you in the damp confines of her gut. You curl up into an odd position with your legs bent and splayed out next to you rather than forced against your chest. Her stomach seems to have more give to it than <<if $totalEscaped > 0>>any other you've been in<<else>>you would have expected<</if>>--she probably wasn't lying about being able to fit both of you in here. "//*AARRRRRP*// Ah~" the girl sighs. "I hope you //*UURP*// enjoyed the trip, my jaw's a little sore from holding it that //*urp*// long," she laughs. You can feel her running her hands along her gut. Then she slaps your head as soon as she identifies which bulge it is. "You're about to learn a permanent lesson about messing with other people's food." Taking her place wasn't exactly what you'd wanted when you stepped in to help Mandy, you can't let it end like this!<<set $sceneAttack to 0>><<set $sceneDefense to 0>> <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "preyOptions">></div>

<<set $metErika to true>><<set $time to 12.5>><<include "TIME">>Still feeling empowered by your previous tastes of freedom, you fight on. After failing to be able to reproduce the blow that upset her before, you think up a new strategy and stop for a moment, building up your strength. With her gut calmer from you staying still, a new range of sounds reaches your ears during your rest: a variety of soft squishing noises from the organs around you at work, and the beating of her heart above you. "Did you finally give up? Good, you were getting unruly for a min--woah!" your captor tries to say. In the middle of her sentence, you make your move, pushing forward with both your arms and legs as hard as you can. At first you're afraid she's had too many meals for overstretching the walls to have any effect, but soon enough a chorus of deep growls echoes through her stomach and you know it's working. The walls squeeze in tight, forcing your limbs back against your body and beginning to press you back against the base of her throat. "GOD. DAMN IT. Not //*Huuurph*// again..." the girl groans. You're starting to rise back up from the moist depths of her body, moving much faster through her esophagus than the last two times. Before you know it your head breaks through her lips and back into the cool air of the hallway, the rest of your body quickly following behind. "Are you alright out here Erika?" another voice asks from somewhere nearby. "I heard--ah." You still don't see who it is, but presumably she's just come across the scene of your upper body emerging from Erika's mouth. You're desperately holding her arms at bay as she tries to push you back in, still fighting to keep her meal. Once your ass breaks free, she finally relents and the rest of you slips out onto the cold tile<<if $acidStage > 1>>, accompanied by a sizeable flood of vomit<</if>>. <<if $turn < 3>>You quickly jump to your feet, backing away from the girl and standing against the opposite wall.

Your limbs are sore from the effort of escaping and your time spent churning away has taken a serious toll on your clothing.<<else>>You lay still on the ground panting for a few moments, your body feeling weak and your vision blurred. Eventually the fact that you're still in danger registers and you push yourself up onto all fours, almost slipping from the puddle of acids.

With one more gagging cough, a shiny piece of metal flies out of her mouth and slides over in your direction. You rush to grab the key off the ground, then hurry away again.<<else>> She's glaring at you, still sitting on the ground and occasionally coughing.<</if>><<else>> Your former predator is glaring at you, still sitting on the floor and occasionally coughing.<</if>> It's at this point that you finally spot the source of the other voice: A fairly tall brunette with very long hair standing in a nearby doorway, looking ambivalent towards the current situation. "This is good actually, I need your help moving something," she says. "Ugh, fine..." Erika replies with a cough. She stands up and looks over at you cowering against the wall. "I guess the dragon is slain, good job..." she mutters before going to join the other girl. You take off up the hall, eager to get back to your room to clean up. <<include "playerPreyEscape">>[[Escape to your dorm->Main Hall- Recovery]]

<<set $time to 12>><<include "TIME">><<set $eatenByMorgan to true>>You start walking down the hall, keeping an eye on the girl but no longer feeling like you're in any danger. You're a bit curious about who it was she ate, but not enough to stick around and try to find out. As you move past the girl and start to think you're in the clear, she finally speaks up... but not at you. "Hey Morgan, there's one more freshman out here that didn't run away," the girl says in a somewhat nasally voice, looking to her left. Grinning, she darts her eyes over to you without turning her head. "Mmm?" you hear a different voice answer. From an open doorway right next to the girl on the ground steps another one--also a brunette, but this one is taller and her hair is extremely long. She locks eyes with you, looking pretty disinterested. "Eh, I guess it //is// lunchtime." With that she immediately charges in your direction. You're stunned at her sudden burst of energy, starting to flee much too late to escape. She catches up with you easily and tackles you against the wall, pinning your arms. Without a word she plunges your head into her mouth and begins to swallow you down. @@color:orange;You weren't fast enough.@@ You try to push away but she has you locked down completely, expertly holding her weight against you and keeping your arms in a vice grip. You're powerless as the girl hungrily pulls you deeper and deeper into the warm confines of her body, her lips already wrapped around your midriff. The moment your arms are too far in to help you, she flips what's left of you up overhead to finish the job. She's unbelievably efficient, not taking even a second to savour you. Mere seconds after she began, you feel your feet slide out of her throat and into her stomach. Your body curls up tight into the moist walls. "HEY!" you shout, pushing out with your arms as hard as you can. "LET ME GO! They have actual food for lunch!" You feel air rush up her throat, then the rumble of a massive belch. "Erika, I'm gonna need your help moving these now," your captor says, completely ignoring you. You're jostled around as she walks back into the classroom she came from. "Ugh, finnnee..." the other girl replies. You can just barely make out her voice. "Just give me a second to get up, she's //*urp*// still squirming." <<link "Struggle">><<append "#digestion">> Morgan's stomach is as efficient as she was, immediately kicking into high gear, squeezing and churning against your body. You do your best to fight back against her, but nothing you do gets any kind of response. Acids are already flooding in and sloshing around as she goes about her business, a symphony of gurgles and groans echoing through your head all the while. You're finding it hard to think straight with the slick walls constantly shifting and rubbing against you. "God, does this stuff really need to go on the top shelf?" you hear Erika say, clearly strained. "It's a bit much on a full stomach..." "Yeah, technically we're not supposed to use the closet for club stuff, but Bora only complains if it gets in her way," Morgan says. You hear a dull thud somewhere above you and she sighs. "And she's the only one that ever really teaches in this room." "Come on, volleyball gets to claim the whole gym every Wednesday but they can't even give us shelf space?" Erika says. "Welcome to the life of a Tabletop Club exec," Morgan sighs. "Now come on, you wanted the position, so you have to help." "Hang on... I almost... got i-SHIT!" Erika cries out. A moment later you feel something slam into your back through Morgan's gut, then hear whatever it was crash onto the ground. Not only does it hurt, it seems to agitate Morgan's stomach into being even more aggressive. "//*UURP*// Ow." Morgan says pretty calmly. "UGH, I'm done!" Erika grunts. "I can barely //*urp*// reach that shelf in the first place, doing it with a passenger is impossible! Also, sorry about that..." Morgan sighs. "You're fine, at least that one was just books so they should be alright. Have fun bending down to pick them up with that belly though." "Damn it..." @@color:red;You're being digested, but she's too strong, nothing you do seems to phase her!@@ Struggling seems hopeless, but another idea strikes you. It might be a longshot, but they said Tabletop Club, right? <<if $club is "dungeon">>Maybe she wouldn't want to digest a member<<else>>You may not be a member, but maybe if you pretend she'd let you go<</if>>. <</append>> <<replace "#struggle">><<link "Wait, I'm in your club!">><<if $club is "dungeon">><<goto "Morgan- Released">><<else>><<append "#digestion">> "W-Wait!

Such an abuse of presidential power," Erika teases. "Maybe. What's your name?" "It's uh, $name," you say nervously. "Well, sorry $name, but I literally just set up the email list," Morgan says. "No $name's joined from the freshman class that I was told about." "Um... I could pick up those books if you let me out?" you offer in desperation. You feel a hand rest on your back. "Alas, twas a noble attempt, but here ends the tale of $name," Erika says, putting on a voice. "//*urp*// Meh, it was a pretty shortsighted lie, don't give her too much credit," Morgan says. She bends over a little bit, then you feel the pressure of something heavy resting on top of you. "You'd better get started cleaning up that mess." "Yeah yeah..." With your ruse shot down, you return to fighting against the walls of your prison. You can feel the world shifting around you as Morgan continues her work, lifting whatever it is they're moving up overhead and onto the shelf. None of her attention is on you, and her movements don't even seem to be hindered by your presence, like she immediately adapted to the increased bulk. You've never felt so completely and utterly like you were just someone's food. You keep struggling as hard as you can, but eventually it becomes clear that it really is hopeless. Your arms and legs feel like lead, yet not once have you gotten even a slight reaction out of her. Most of your clothes have melted away into the digestive slurry around you, and all over your body your skin itches and burns. The groaning walls knead against you relentlessly, eager to grind you into nutrients... and you give in. You let your muscles relax and sink back into the warm flesh around you, drifting away to the groaning sounds of her body at work. <<include "Life Lost">><<replace "#struggle">><</replace>><</append>><</if>><</link>> <<link "Panic">><<append "#digestion">> Talk is useless, you need to get out now!

Hard or fast, it doesn't seem to matter: none of your movements are having even a slight effect on her. You can feel your clothes starting to melt into the pooling acids, you're not sure how much longer you'll last. "So what's in store for our party this year?" Erika asks, both of the girls ambivalent to your struggle. "I assume you've already put a lot of work into it." "Of course, been plotting this one out all summer. Same world as last semester," Morgan replies. "But, uh, not the same characters obviously." Erika laughs. "I still can't believe you really let it end with all of us getting eaten!" "Well, it didn't have to, but you guys just kept rushing in headfirst," Morgan laughs. She falls back into a chair, jolting the contents of her gut and sending acids splashing up around you. "This year's campaign is gonna be big since it's my last, that's why I'm having people make characters beforehand this time. We need all the time we can get." "Can't wait, you never disappoint!" Erika says. "...Could you help me up? I thought laying on my belly would be a smart way to do this but I think I'm stuck now..." "I don't know, you look like you're having fun down there." "Morgan!" You keep struggling as hard as you can, but eventually it becomes clear that it really is hopeless. Your arms and legs feel like lead, yet not once have you gotten even a slight reaction out of her.

"I-It's $name, $name $last!" Morgan sighs. "Yeah you're on the list..." "Well, you already ate her, I think we can handle one less member," Erika says. You feel her poke you through the stomach walls. "Sorry $name.~" "Nah, only four freshmen signed up and we need the numbers to not get axed," Morgan says. You breathe a sigh of relief. Something presses up against you from below. "Hang tight $name, I'll get you out." She takes a deep breath, then a moment later the stomach walls crash in on you, squeezing down painfully tight all over your body. You feel her grab the bulge of you in her belly and push in and up. Just as you're starting to feel like you might crack a rib, the top of her stomach opens up to accept your head and you start to get pushed back into her throat. Your face slides up and across her tongue, grazes past her teeth, and finally emerges into the cool outside air. It takes you a minute to readjust to the light as the rest of your body is released back into the world. "Gross..." Erika mutters, scrunching up her face. You're laying on cold tile floor, drenched in strange fluids but otherwise in pretty good shape. Your clothes even seem to have held up pretty well. Morgan is bent over next to you, but after a single cough she stands back upright and seems to be perfectly fine. "Heh, sorry about that..." she says. She starts to reach a hand out to help you up, but quickly pulls it back. "Actually I don't want vomit getting on any of this stuff..." "Of course..." you mumble, standing back up on your own. "Uh... thanks?" "This is a weird way to be introduced, but I'm Morgan! I'm the club president," she says with a sympathetic smile. "I'm glad you said something, we have a rule about eating other club members and I'd hate to lose one of my players already..." "Nice to meet you properly..." you reply, flicking your hands at the ground to shake off some of the vomit. "You should go get cleaned up," she tells you. "Uh, see you Wednesday I guess? We'll be in this room," she says, looking a little embarrassed. "And make sure you check your school email, I'll be sending out details about making your character either tonight or tomorrow!" "Yeah..." you say, walking over to the door. [[Go get changed->Main Hall- Recovery]]

<<if $analAteOlivia>><<set $time to 11.75>><<include "TIME">>You leisurely step out of the bathroom and start to walk back toward your dorm, feeling much safer with your massive gut. The fact that it's a sophomore stewing away has also made you a bit cocky. You head around the corner, passing a few girls coming out of a classroom that give you a wary look and keep their distance. From the sounds of it there's some sort of commotion happening in the main hallway, but you just walk right past without paying it any mind, eager to get back and relax. When you reach the door you unlock it and step inside, finding Emma back from her class already and lounging on her bed. She looks up from her phone when she hears the door open. There's no clear expression on her face, like she's not sure how to react to what she's seeing. "Heya $name. So, uh, eventful class?" she says, putting her phone away and sliding to sit at the edge of the bed. "I'm glad you're clearly //better// than okay, but don't you think us freshman have enough to worry about today without feeding on each other?" You smile. "Not a freshman," you say as you take a seat on your bed.

"Tell me. Everything," she says, poking your gut. "C'mon, spill. Spill!" "Alright, alright, calm down," you say. You explain the very strange series of events you've experienced in the few hours since you last saw her: going to the wrong class, being forced to give a 'demonstration' for Olivia, and managing to actually finish the job.<<if $emmaRel > 2>> The whole time you were talking, she was gently massaging your bloated belly with one hand, not seeming to really be paying attention to what she was doing.<</if>> "Wow.

"FUCK!" you hear her shout as you're running out the door. @@color:yellowgreen;You managed to escape.@@ You burst out of the bathroom door and back into the hall, sprinting all the way around the corner and back toward your dorm. It doesn't sound like Olivia is following you, but you still don't stop or look back until you're at the door to your room. You hastily throw the key in the lock and step inside. The room is empty--Emma's class must not be over yet. Breathing a sigh of relief, you collapse onto your bed. Now that you're safe, the toll of Olivia's tour through your body combined with sprinting across the building crashes onto you in full. Everything feels sore and looser than it's supposed to be. You're actually so exhausted that you manage to doze off unintentionally within a minute or so of laying down. ...<<set $stamina += 10>> "$name? You alright?"

I'm alright though," you reassure her. "Oh..." She looks more concerned by your evasion, but gives you a smile. "Well, I'm glad you're okay. You hungry? I was planning on going to the dining hall when you got back, but I guess we can go a bit early. If you're feeling up to it!" Your stomach groans, still a bit upset from losing it's meal but clearly eager for some kind of replacement. "Yeah, let's go," you tell her.<<if $day2SunnyFlirt>> Before getting up, you quickly check your phone and notice that you have a new message. It's from Sunny!

It's smooth and sagging a little, definitely smaller than at breakfast but still very large. She's flashing a peace sign at the camera with a big smile on her face, still wearing her sunglasses. You grin and text back: "//Don't worry, she'll be out of your way before long//".<</if>> [[Head to lunch->September 2nd- Going to Lunch w/Emma]]<</if>>

"See, we're fine," you tell Leah once you're safely past her in the lobby. "Safer than going up through Lampton." "Yeah I guess, still seemed riskier than we needed to be," she replies. "Ah come on, we can't just hide from every person we see," you say. The two of you step out into the courtyard and start to walk over to the dining hall. There are a few others outside, but most of them seem to be going the same place you are. "Well, we could..." Leah says quietly. "Alright, we //could//, but it's not like<<if $sunnyRel > 0>>-" you start to say, but you get cut off by someone draping their arm around your shoulder. You freeze and Leah takes a step back.

Still holding out, I see," she says with a grin, pulling you tighter into a side hug before letting go. She's still looking pretty plump from her meal this morning. Stepping out in front of you, she seems to notice Leah for the first time. "Oh and you have more than one friend! Very cool." "Uh, yeah... Leah this is Sunny. Sunny, Leah," you say. "We met this morning at breakfast, she's a junior," you explain. "Hi..." Leah mumbles. "You two are so cute! So nervous for no reason," she laughs. "With jugs like those I would have just cut right to the chase if I was gonna eat you, you're fine!" she says to Leah. Leah's face gets red and she seems to be trying to sink into her hoodie. "So are you-" "I'm on my way to class!" Sunny says, cutting you off. "Just thought I'd come say hi. Don't go becoming anyone's lunch now, alright?" she says, ruffling both you and Leah's hair like you were little kids. "See ya!" As quickly as she walked into your conversation, she's gone.

"Uh yeah, how about we go upstairs, we can cross the bridge to get there," you say, turning around. "Just to be safe." The two of you head back up the hall and around the corner, distancing yourself from whatever was going on. Better to not risk getting involved. The path to the stairs is pretty barren, the only other person you spot being a girl walking into the bathroom on the opposite end of the hall. "Don't you think going through Lampton is dangerous?" Leah asks as she follows you up the stairs. "Don't all the upperclassmen like, live there?" "I mean yeah, but we only need to walk through that one hallway that's partially freshman. We'll be fine!" you reassure her. "Yeah, but..." Leah mumbles. "Legally, there's gotta be other ways out of the building, right? Like, uh, fire safety, that one by the front desk can't be the only door out..." "Ah, relax, you worry too much!" you say as the two of you walk out onto the second floor. Just before you turn the corner, someone calls out to you. "Well well, look who's out and about after all!" You turn around and see two girls walking up to you--one in a short black dress with curly black hair, the other a dark skinned girl in a small tank top and shorts. "Oh, hey Mal," Leah says. "Who's this now?" the girl in the dress asks, looking at you. "$name," you answer. "We just had class together. Who are you?" "Name's Mallory Weiss, you can call me Mal!" she says with a smile. She's clearly wearing a lot of makeup, her face flawlessly smooth and her lips bright. She even has blue eye shadow on. "I'm Leah's roommate. Give up on staying cooped up all day hun?" "Well, I had to go to class... And $name wanted to grab lunch so we're-" Leah starts to reply. "Oh perfect! We can all go together," Mallory cuts in. Leah looks over at you and you shrug. "Sure... But, uh, who's this?" she asks. "Of course, sorry, how rude! This is Beli, she's a sophomore," Mallory replies, gesturing at the girl next to her. "Beli, this is--well, you heard their names," she laughs. "Yo," the other girl says with a quick wave. Her hair is black with red highlights, and noticeably longer on the right side than the left. On her right side, her upper arm up to her shoulder is covered with an elaborate floral tattoo. The strip of her midriff left bare by her shirt reveals more ink on her stomach, but it's mostly concealed. "Well, let's get a move on!" Mallory says, leading the way. [[Continue on to lunch->September 2nd- Lunch Leah and Crew]]

<<set $time to 12>><<include "TIME">><<set $day2LunchLeah to true>><<set $minaEnd to "unknown">>The two of you enter the dining hall and head straight for the buffet line. Taking a look around, there are several girls with huge, shifting bellies sitting at some of the tables. More proof that "massacre" was an apt title for the day. Once you have your food, you head for a table in the corner of the room. The area nearby is pretty barren and it's right up against the wall, probably the safest spot you could ask for. You let her sit on the far side, facing the rest of the cafeteria, knowing that she was nervous about coming in the first place. "How quickly do you think this food is gonna get old?" you say as you sit down. The selection was basically identical to what they had for lunch yesterday. "Yeah, probably," Leah replies. She pauses for a second, then corrects herself. "Um, I mean pretty quick. It's not too bad though..." "Yeah, that's true. Seems like most people prefer the other menu though," you joke. "Oh definitely," Leah replies with a slight smile. You notice her fidgeting with her hands. After a brief silence, she starts to eat and keeps her eyes locked on her food. You realize it's probably going to be on you to carry the conversation here. "So..." \ <<linkreplace "Ask about her roommate ">><<set $counter += 1>><<append "#dialogue">> "What's your roommate like?" you ask her<<if $counter > 1>>, trying to keep the conversation going<</if>>.

"Well, that could get annoying but it's not the worst. You're not worried she's the type that would eat you though, right?" you ask. "Maybe if I leave my clothes laying around," Leah says with a laugh. "But, uh, no, I think she's pretty reasonable. Lucked out there I guess." There's a pause. "Um, how about you?" "Mine is this girl named Emma, <<if $emmaRel > 3>>she's awesome! We spent like all day together yesterday, she was actually the first person I met on campus.

"We had a group that would meet after school every Thursday, it was a blast! Some of the people kinda sucked outside of it, but our campaign was fun. I even DMed for a few weeks once, though that was kinda stressful..." <<if $leahInfo1 is 1>>You smile--all of a sudden she has that same energy as when you brought up Oblivion yesterday.<</if>>"Cool!

"Well, I've had her in mind for a while waiting to find another group to play with.

Eventually, you check the time and see that it's getting pretty close to when your second class starts.<<if $day2SunnyFlirt>> In the process of looking at the clock on your phone, you notice that you have an unread message. It's another picture from Sunny! You quickly open it to take a look, tilting your screen for a bit of privacy just in case. This time it's a picture at an odd angle shot from below, looking up at her gut. She's sitting at a desk, only the lower half of her face visible due to the framing. Her belly has gotten considerably smaller, though it's still big enough to make her shirt ride up a fair amount. She's grabbing the soft bulge tight with her free hand, showing off how squishy it's gotten. "//She's making me super gassy in the middle of class :X//" she added. After glancing around to make sure no one's watching your screen, you quickly text back: "//That just means your body's working hard! I can see that she's *going*, but where to?//" Before you've even stowed your phone again, she gets back to you. "//You'll have to wait a little longer for that ;) Don't get too pushy with that kind of wording, or I might send you something gross next time I hit the bathroom :P//" You smirk, but quickly snap your attention back to Leah.<</if>> "Are you about ready to head out? I've got another class I need to get to soon," you say. "Yeah, I'm good. I only had that one class today, what else do you have?" Leah asks. "It's like, 'Escaping 101' or something like that," you reply, getting up from your seat. <<if ($leahRel > 1) and ($leahCare < 1)>>"Oh, um, by the way..." she starts to say, before pausing and looking away.

Gave up on staying cooped up all day?" the girl says to Leah. "Oh, hey. Uh, $name this is my roommate, Mallory," Leah says. "Great to meet you $name! You can call me Mal," she says with a smile.

The four of you cross over from Karbo into Lampton, the two newcomers chatting with each other as they evidently finish whatever conversation they were having before you came along. You and Leah are mostly left out, lagging behind them in the walk through the hall. She seems uncomfortable with the way the situation has changed. But, you all make it without issue, the only other students you passed on the way seeming to already know both Beli and Mallory. As you walk down the stairs into the cafeteria, you can see that the room is bustling with activity. Several girls with bloated bellies at various stages of digestion are scattered around the tables, making it evident that "massacre" was an accurate description for the day. The four of you grab some food and find a place to sit. "Alright, this is exciting! I don't believe we've met at all yet $name. I tried to make some rounds of our class yesterday but I suppose I was never going to get to everyone," Mallory says. She sits with her arms on the table, resting her chin on her hands and giving you an eager look. "I tried my darnedest to get Leah out of our dorm to face the day, I can't wait to get to know the girl that succeeded!" "Well, she was already out since we had class, that probably helped," you reply. Leah is slouched over next to you, focused on her food rather than the conversation. "Right, you mentioned that!" Mallory says, looking at Leah. Her smile briefly morphs into a pout when she sees that she isn't paying attention. "What class was it you had again?" "Intro to Vore, probably the best one to start out with," you say. "It was more interesting than I expected a first day on the basics to be, and the teacher was really nice too! You have any classes yet?" "Indeed I have! Escapism early in the day, can't say I have such enthusiastic things to say about the professor though," Mallory laughs. "Leah dear, what did you think of class?" she asks, tapping the table lightly with one hand to get her attention. "Hmm? Oh, it was fine. Kinda boring, Profesor Juniper was nice," Leah replies. "I figured that was who you had, Juniper is the best! I'm gonna miss her this year," Beli chimes in. "After Intro she kinda disappears from your life until you get to really advanced classes in your third and fourth year." "Really? I had her pegged as the low level professor," you say. "Oh yeah, don't let her bubbly personality fool you, she's probably the most skilled predator here besides the headmistress." "Always good to see that you don't need to be a jerk to be good at this stuff. I can't wait to meet her!" Mallory says. Her eyes dart between you and Leah for a moment. "So what's on your mind $name?

"She is good at teaching at least, it's just her personality that sucks," Beli continues. "On the other hand, you've got Professor Bora, who somehow manages to make the driest class offered here exciting. Almost makes me wish I'd taken A&P II, but she's not //that// good." "I have Escapsim after this, you think I'm also with Slate?" you ask, not excited by their reviews. "Heh, sorry sister, but that's almost a guarantee.

She gets a grin on her face. "I'll give you one more, probably the craziest. Does the name Willamie Florida ring any bells to you?" "Not really, no," you reply. Leah perks up when she hears the name, but her face starts to turn red and she quickly makes a conscious effort to look like she's not paying attention. "Aw don't be shy Leah, we can be honest here," Beli says, amused. "So who is she?" you ask.<<if $leahRel > 1>> You try to give Leah a reassuring pat on the back, but she jumps a bit at your touch.<</if>> "She used to be a porn star, famous for //heavily// incorporating vore into all of her videos," Beli explains, grinning.

The moment she passes in front of where you're sitting, you stick your leg out and sweep it under hers, knocking her to the ground with a shriek. You jump to your feet and move to pin her, but she was surprisingly quick in pushing herself back up onto her knees. Undeterred, you grab her arms from behind and try to quickly shove her head into your mouth. Unfortunately, she manages to break one of her arms out of your grip and strikes you hard in the chest, shoving you away just moments before you could get a taste. You try to lunge forward again in desperation, but it just earns you the stunning blow of a shoe to the face. She frantically backs away a few steps, then stands with her hands on her hips glaring down at you. You're kneeling on the ground, slightly dazed and rubbing your nose. Your strength fails you. "I //knew// it!<<if $lunchEmma>> Kayla was right not to trust you,<</if>> I knew you were gonna try this as soon as you walked in!" Gabby scolds. "I should... should just..." she trails off, her eyes giving you a different look as she seems to be contemplating something. You get back to your feet hoping to take advantage of her pause, but as soon as you do a look of panic returns to her face and she sprints away, screaming: "Leave me alone!" You start to give chase, but with her head start she's already disappeared into the crowd of the cookout by the time you're out of the garden. Disappointed, you're about to go back to retrieve your plate from the bench when you notice that Emma and the girl you saw her with earlier seem to be arguing, not far from where you're standing. You don't know if it's something you want to get in the middle of, so you walk a bit closer to listen in but try to stay where they won't notice you watching. "What, got nothing to say?" the mystery girl sneers. She's a blonde with her hair in a very long ponytail, wearing an assymetric shirt, short shorts, and a heavy amount of makeup. You see Emma clench her fists. "I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over all that makeup," she says halfheartedly. The other girl laughs. "Oh my god that was terrible! And you really shouldn't be talking down about makeup honey, with that disaster of a face it would really do you some good." Emma stamps her foot forward. "Ugh, that's enough Betty! Just--go away!" she shouts. "Oh what's wrong, can't take a little criticism? You gonna do something about it? You don't look like you could even keep a toddler down!" "Yeah well at least I know how to control my appetite!" Emma says. It's clear that struck a nerve with Betty. "Alright you know what bitch? I already lost a meal today, I think it's time for a replacement!" she shouts, lunging at Emma. <<link "Intervene">><<set $stamina -= 5>><<replace "#text">> You have no idea what started this, but no way are you going to stand by while someone tries to make a meal of <<if $emmaRel < 3>>your roommate<<else>>one of your friends<</if>>. You rush toward the two girls as Betty tackles Emma to the ground. Before she can make any other move you kick her hard in the side, knocking her onto the ground. "Back off bitch!" you shout. "Are you alright?" you ask Emma, offering her a hand. "FUCK!" Betty cries, clutching the spot where you kicked her. "Who the hell are you!?" "Y-Yeah... Thanks," Emma says, taking your hand. You pull her back to her feet. You look back over at Betty, glaring. "Get lost." She has a murderous glare, but looks between you and Emma and backs up a bit before getting back to her feet. "Whatever!" is all she says before stomping away, flipping you off for good measure. Emma goes over and sits on the bench behind you, arms crossed. "Boy am I glad you showed up when you did, I wasn't ready for her to really make a move..." "Don't mention it, I'm just glad I got here in time," you say, taking a seat next to her. "What was her deal?" "I don't know!" she says<<if $emmaRel > 3>>, leaning up against your shoulder<</if>>. "I saw her sitting alone over here and came over to say hi, and she just immediately starting hurling insults! That sort of stuff usually doesn't get to me, but for some reason... Ugh, some people just suck..." she says.<<if $emmaRel > 3>> She seems to notice the position she's in and abruptly sits back upright, glancing away for a second before turning back to you.<</if>> "You can say that again..." The two of you keep talking there on the bench all through the cookout, making a lot of jokes at Betty's expense. Emma seems pretty shaken up at first, but she fades back to her normal self after a little while.

Emma squeals, using her now freed hand to slap Betty in the face. Betty simply grabs that hand and shoves it in her mouth. "No!" Betty brings her second arm up to follow the first, but her slight repositioning gives Emma just enough space to slip one of her legs out from under her assailant. She immediately strikes up with her knee with all the strength she can muster, hitting Betty square in the stomach. As she reels back from the shock, Emma uses her hands to pull Betty off of her to the side, before pulling them free from the confines of her mouth. You decide it's probably time to stop standing around as she frantically gets back on her feet. "Get away from me!" Emma cries. "Emma are you alright!?" you shout, rushing over as if you hadn't been watching this whole time. "Y-Yeah $name, I'm fine..." she answers, shaking saliva off her hands. "I'm just... I'm gonna head back to the dorm, I'll see you later tonight," she says with a halfhearted smile. "God dammit..." Betty mutters, coughing a bit. She struggles back to her feet and walks off without paying you any mind, leaving you standing alone. Having now missed out on a meal and nearly let your roommate get eaten by a stranger, you end up going back to the bench in the garden and sitting alone, moping, for the rest of the cookout. As a silver lining, the burgers are actually pretty good. [["Head back to your dorm"->September 1st- Night]] <</replace>><</link>>

The two of you take a left to head for the main hallway, but pause as you hear some sort of commotion happening just around the corner. The vorish sort of commotion.

The groaning and burbling of your very active stomach echoes softly off the walls, filling the room with the sound of Olivia digesting. You run your hands along the warm skin of your belly, massaging yourself to aid your body in breaking down its meal. You can barely feel any sort of solid form beneath the flesh, most of your prey melted down into mush by this point. Before you can get started doing anything, you feel a sudden wave of exhaustion wash over you and your eyes flutter a bit. Now that you're comfortable, your gut is demanding your body's full attention to deal with it's overstuffed contents. Especially with your lower body still feeling strange from Olivia's intrusion, you decide you could use the rest and don't fight the feeling. After setting an alarm on your phone, you lay back with one hand resting on your bloated belly and quickly doze off. ...<<set $stamina += 12>> You wake up over an hour later, stretching out your arms as you sit up from your nap. You're completely refreshed, managing to wake up naturally just a couple minutes before the alarm you set would have gone off.

Some of her is already... very far along.<<if $day2SunnyFlirt>> Before you get up, you noticed when you checked your phone that you have an unread message. It's another picture from Sunny! You quickly open it to take a look. This time it's a picture at an odd angle shot from below, looking up at her gut. She's sitting at a desk, only the lower half of her face visible due to the framing. Her belly has gotten considerably smaller, though it's still big enough to make her shirt ride up a fair amount. She's grabbing the soft bulge tight with her free hand, showing off how squishy it's gotten. "//She's making me super gassy in the middle of class :X//" she added. After glancing around to make sure no one's watching your screen, you quickly text back: "//That just means your body's working hard!

[[Get some food->September 2nd- Lunch Emma]]

<<set $time to 12>><<include "TIME">>The girl lunges forward and you jump back, still holding Mandy up with your grip on her waist. Not expecting to miss completely, your attacker falters and you seize the opportunity, using Mandy like a battering ram to knock her onto her back. Knowing that's not going to slow her down for long, you take off in the opposite direction, running toward your dorm. You managed to escape. "Umm..." you hear Mandy say, visibly confused as she looks up at you. You ignore her, rushing to the door to your room. You look behind you and don't see the girl following you, at least not yet, though you hear what sounds like laughter faintly coming from the main hall. "Emma, you in there? Open up!" you shout, desperately hoping she's back already. To your relief, you hear the door unlock and it swings open, a very concerned Emma standing on the other side. <<if $offCourse is false>>"$name? Are you okaaa..." she says, trailing off. "Um, is that who I think it is..?" she asks as you quickly step inside. She closes the door and locks it behind you. "Uh, yeah, it's her," you reply, looking down at the girl in your arms. Her eyes are so wide it looks like they're going to pop out of her head. "PUT ME DOWN!" she screams, pushing you away. Not entirely sure why you decided to carry her in the first place, you don't fight her resistance and put your hands up in peace once she's back on her feet. She bolts away from you and Emma and stands with her back against the bathroom door. "D-Don't hurt me!" "Woah, take it easy! It's Mandy right?" Emma says, smiling and taking a step forward with a cautious hand outstretched. "I'm so sorry about yesterday, we're not going to do anything, I promise!" Emma assures her. She shoots you a look to make clear that that was a legitimate promise. <<if $attackedMandyCookout>>"No! You're l-lying!" Mandy cries. "She tried to eat me //twice// yesterday!" She points at you with a trembling hand. "And... And now you're helping her again!" "You did what?" Emma asks you. "That girl I mentioned going for at the cookout //may// have also been Mandy," you say, shrugging. "But I just saved her from an upperclassman, so really we should be on neutral terms now," you try to justify. "Y-You just wanted me for yourself!" Mandy says, starting to sniffle. "Okay, uh, Man-" "Just let me go! P-Please!" Mandy cries, cutting off Emma. "Calm down, you're not a prisoner! This was just the closest safe place I could think to hide," you tell her. You're really wishing Emma hadn't made that promise, at this point going for round three seems like the easiest way out of this situation. "Alright, alright!" Emma says, clearly flustered. She goes over to the door and opens it a crack to make sure no one else is in the hall. When she's sure the coast is clear, she opens the door wide and motions for you to step away from it. Almost immediately, Mandy bolts out of the room. "Sorry about everything!" Emma shouts after her. "Not even a thank you..." you mumble. "Can you blame her? You tried to eat her //twice// in one day, and I helped the first time, and then you //carried her// back to //our// room!" Emma says, stifling a laugh. Now that Mandy is gone she seems to be entertained by the whole turn of events rather than concerned. "Holy shit, can you imagine? I would have peed myself if I was in her shoes!" "That's... a good point," you say. "And why the fuck wasn't she wearing a shirt!?" she adds, no longer containing her laughter. "We had to make some sacrifices to get away," you explain, laughing with Emma a little. "The real question is why did I bother carrying her? She's clearly faster than me! Did you see how fast she got out of here?" After laughing at the absurdity for a little while, Emma composes herself again. "Well, this has been fun, but I'm starving. You want to go get lunch?"<<else>>"Yeah, you already showed me who's boss! I just brought you here to hide from whoever that was," you say. The thought of reclaiming your lost meal may have been on your mind, but you'd rather not get into a fight with Emma by going for it now. Mandy doesn't seem reassured. "$name, what happened?" Emma asks. "She was about to get eaten by an upperclassman out in the hall, but I swooped in and got her out of there," you explain. "Making up for yesterday, I guess." Emma smiles, then turns back to Mandy. "See? We're just here to help this time, no one's getting eaten!" "Uh... Th-Thanks for saving me," Mandy mumbles, her back still against the wall. Her eyes are skeptically darting between you and Emma. "Here, let me get a shirt for you, you look uncomfortable like that," Emma says, kneeling down to dig through her dresser. She pulls out a plain blue t-shirt and holds it out toward her. "I hope you like blue, that's most of my wardrobe!" Mandy seems hesitant to take it, but once she does she immediately puts it on. It's noticeable that the shirt is a little too big for her, but it's kind of a cute look. She immediately seems relieved and smiles slightly. "Thanks..." "Of course! I think we really got off on the wrong foot yesterday, how about we start over? I'm Emma, nice to meet you," Emma says, holding out her hand with a smile on her face. Mandy nervously steps closer, alternating her gaze between Emma's hand and her face. She darts her eyes over to you for a second before warily taking her hand and shaking it. "Mandy..." she mumbles before stepping back again. "How about we all go get lunch together? We can get to know each other properly!" Emma suggests. "I'd rather just go back to my dorm..." Mandy replies. "Of course! I understand," Emma says. She looks over to you and you unlock the door to peek outside. "Coast looks clear," you say, opening the door all the way. Mandy cautiously takes a few steps forward, then runs out the door and toward the stairs without a word. "Well, that was awkward," you say. "Yeah... Poor girl is a nervous wreck," Emma says. "I mean, all things considered it was fair that she was nervous here." "Oh absolutely, but even yesterday before we did anything she was kinda like that. Remind me to invite her to the first party I throw here, she really needs to come out of her shell," Emma says. She walks over and puts her hand on your shoulder. "By the way, that was a really cool thing you did stepping in to save her. I was feeling pretty bad about jumping her randomly like that yesterday, so I'm really glad we made it up to her somehow." "Heh, thanks," you reply. "You still up for lunch with just the two of us?" "Of course!"<<if $emmaRel <= 3>> <<Emma 1>><</if>><</if>><<elseif $attackedMandyCookout>>"$name? Are you okay? And who is this?" she asks as you quickly step inside. She closes the door and locks it behind you. "N-No, please, not again..." Mandy whimpers. "P-Put me down! PUT ME DOWN!" She swings her arm up and hits you surprisingly hard in the jaw, making you drop her and stumble back a step. "Woah, woah!" Emma says. "Take it easy! What's going on?" <<if $mandyEcaped is "released">>"I don't understand you!" Mandy shouts after scrambling onto her feet. "You eat me, then you let me go, then you just try to eat me again later, and now you put yourself in danger to save me!?" Her face is red and she's holding her head in her hands. "What do you want from me??" "Uh, look..." you start to say. "Aargh! Just leave me alone!" she shouts, rushing for the door. She throws the lock open and bolts toward the stairs before anyone else can say anything. There's an awkward pause as you stare out the open door. "You know what, I actually don't want to get involved in whatever that was," Emma says. "Lunch?" "Sure..." you reply, a little taken aback by Mandy's outburst still with how shy she's been up till now.<<else>>"Um... Emma this is Mandy, I-" "She tried to eat me //twice//! A-And now you just pulled me away from that girl so you coud have me for yourself, didn't you?" Mandy says, scrambling to her feet and stepping back away from you and Emma. "S-Stay away!" "Calm down, no one's getting eaten here!" Emma says, shooting you a look. "Here, do you want a-" "Then let me go!" Mandy squeals, interrupting her. "Sure, sure, go ahead!" Emma says, unlocking the door and stepping away. She glances over at you and you follow suit, leaving a clear path. Immediately, Mandy rushes to the door, throws it open, and flees down the hall toward the stairs. "Saved her life and not even a thank you..." you mumble. "It sounds like you've put her through a lot..." Emma says. "But the most recent thing was positive!" you protest. "Mm-hmm," Emma says, looking skeptical that you had good intentions here. "You want to go grab lunch now that that's over with?" "Yeah, sure..."<</if>><<else>>"$name? Are you okay? And who is this?" she asks as you quickly step inside. She closes the door and locks it behind you. "W-Why are you carrying me?" Mandy mumbles. She looks extremely uncomfortable. "Oh, uh, I don't really know I guess..." you say, finally putting her down. She immediately takes a few steps away from you and stands with her arms crossed tight in front of her chest. Her eyes are frantically darting between you and Emma. "Th-Thanks for getting me out of there... <<if $mandyEscaped is "released">>but why did you bring me into your room?" she says, starting to get worked up. "What are you planning? D-Did you change your mind?" She's starting to sweat.<<else>>but why did //you// help me?" she says, trembling a little. "And why are we in your r-room..? Please leave me alone," she sniffles. It looks like she's on the verge of tears.<</if>> "Hey, hey, take it easy! You're safe in here," Emma says, stepping closer to her with a warm smile on her face. Then she turns her head to you with a heavy stare. "$name, what the heck is going on here??" "Umm...

Mandy says quietly, her shoulders seeming to relax a bit.<<if $mandyEscaped is "vomit">> "Yeah, she definitely looked tougher than me," you say.

Mandy gives you a <<if $mandyEscaped is "released">>skeptical<<else>>worried<</if>> look. "Thanks, but, I think I'm gonna go back to my room and... lay down for a while." "Suit yourself," you say, unlocking the door. You slowly crack it open and peak outside into the empty hall.

"Well well, looks like some fresh meat is wandering my halls," the girl says in a somewhat husky voice. "Where are you two off to?" You turn to look at the intruder. It's a fairly chunky blonde with her hair tied back in a messy ponytail. She's wearing a slanted mauve tank top that leaves a good amount of her practically pot-bellied midriff exposed. Her face is intimidating--dark lipstick, a nose ring, and unsettling eyes. They're mostly a deep blue, but large patches of light brown cut in on both of her irises. "We have class..." you reply, trying not to sound worried. You attempt to pull her arm off of you, but she tightens her grip and pulls you and Emma in close, pushing your heads together against her massive chest. "Can you please let go?" Emma mumbles. "Oh I don't think so, it's past noon and I haven't eaten lunch yet!" the girl says, licking her lips. <<if $sunnyRel > 0>>"Oi, hands off freak!" someone else shouts from behind you. It's a voice you recognize from this morning--Sunny! The girl growls and turns her head back, loosening her grip a little. "What the hell do //you// want?" "I've already got dibs on these two for tomorrow," Sunny says, crossing her arms. "So let 'em go and fuck off." "What? Fuck you, you can't claim two in advance," the girl says. She gets an evil grin on her face. "Figured you wouldn't even be going, or did you already forget about-" Sunny grabs her by the shirt. "Zoey, you either let them go or you're gonna catch this mouth," she hisses. The two stare hard at each other, Zoey's eyes narrowing. "You know I'm good for it." You take the opportunity to make your move, slipping out from under her arm while she's distracted. You grab one of Emma's arms and pull her away, shoving Zoey at the same time. She barely stumbles, but you manage to get Emma free and the two of you rush back to a safer distance. "Ugh, god damn it!" Zoey growls, giving you a murderous glare. "Perfect!" Sunny says, walking over to you and Emma and grabbing you each by the arm. "Go snack on someone else Zoe! And choke on 'em while you're at it." She starts to walk away pretty quickly, pulling the two of you along with her.<<if $fullness > 2>> With the extra weight you're carrying it's enough to make you lose your breath. You place your free hand on your gut as you move, panting slightly.<</if>> You glance back behind you--Zoey is fuming, but doesn't seem to be following you. "Oh my god, thank you Sunny!" Emma says. She breathes hard for a few seconds like she'd been holding her breath. "She came out of nowhere, I didn't know what we were gonna do!" "Don't mention it," Sunny replies, letting go of you now that you've turned around the corner onto the bridge. She briefly lifts up her sunglasses just so you can see her wink at you. "That creature you were in the clutches of was Zoey. The girl's //batshit//, like not just voracious but a straight psychopath about it. Make sure you add her to your list of people to never even interact with if you can help it." "Got it, thanks for getting us out of there," you say. "But... what's happening tomorrow that you 'claimed' us for?" "Oh that was just a bluff to get her to back off, which she kinda called me on. Don't you worry about me having any //nefarious intent//," she laughs. You notice now that you're less on edge that she still has a small belly bump from <<if ($cookoutGabby) or ($lockerChandra != "none")>>her meal this morning<<else>>Gabby<</if>>. "The upperclassmen are having a party tomorrow night; if you're a freshman, you don't want to be there. All ya need to know about that."<<set $heardAboutTrial to 1>> "Okay, uh, good to know," you say.<<if $fullness > 1>> "Good job by the way $name, you've been busy," she adds with a smirk. "Heh, thanks," you reply, lightly grabbing your belly for a moment.<</if>> "Alright you nerds good from here?" she asks, stopping at the end of the bridge. "My class got out early, I'd rather spend that extra time perfecting my room than babysitting." "Yeah, our class is right around the corner. Thanks again!" Emma says, waving to her. Sunny flashes a peace sign before turning around and heading back toward Lampton. You and Emma continue down the hall. "Well that was almost bad," you say. "I was terrified!" Emma replies. "We probably should have just gone the long way, sorry." "Ah, it worked out in the end," you say. "We could have fought her off." Emma smiles. "Well, here we are, room 219! You ready?" [[Head to class->September 2nd- Escapism]]<<else>>"No, please! Why don't we just talk?" Emma squeals. "Nothin' to talk about, lunch," the girl says, leaning in and licking Emma's cheek. "Stop! Get off!" she whimpers, trying to push the girl away. You take the opportunity to make your own escape, elbowing your attacker and ducking out of her grip. The girl just laughs. "That's fine, I only need the one," she growls, grabbing Emma with both hands and slamming her against the wall. She squirms against her grip, but she's helpless as the girl opens her mouth wide. "No, let me go!" Emma screams. Unable to just stand by and let this happen, you rush in to help. You grab the girls shoulders to try and pull her away, but she seems ready for you and shrugs you off. She puts one hand on Emma's throat to hold her in place and uses the other to grab you. With a shocking amount of force she shoves you down onto the ground, your head slamming onto the tile hard enough that your vision gets fuzzy for a moment. "Stop!" Emma shrieks. You watch helplessly as her head disappears into the girl's mouth. She stops at her neck and starts to walk over to you, carrying Emma's frantically squirming body with her. Just as you're starting to get back up, she drops herself on top of you, kneeling over your chest<<if $fullness > 3>> and leaning slightly against your bloated belly<</if>>. Before you can even attempt to get away, she lowers herself back directly onto your face. You frantically try to push her off of you, but she won't budge. The pressure of her body is painful and you can't breathe, but perhaps the worst part is that you can feel her continuing to swallow Emma while she's on top of you. After only a few swallows you start to feel the sickening sensation of her gut stretching out over your body... with every panicked motion of your <<if $emmaRel > 2>>friend<<else>>roommate<</if>> rubbing up against you. The weight on your lower body steadily increases as Emma slides into the depths of the girl. You can feel the motion inside as her struggling form curls up in the predator's gut. "//*UUUUURRRP*// Aaah~" the girl sighs. Just as you're starting to get lightheaded, she finally lifts her rear off of you. You immediateley gasp for air. "Your friend was delicious, and you //*urp*// made a great seat," she laughs. You try to get away, but with her gut resting on top of you<<if $fullness > 2>>rs<</if>> you're still hopelessly pinned down. From where you're laying, you can see that she's holding one of Emma's shoes for some reason. "Can you feel her? //*urrrp*// She's really squirming~" she taunts. "Aw, I think she's crying in there too. Here, listen closely." She backs up over you, dragging her belly across your body and up to rest on your head and chest. "$name! Save yourself! Run!" you hear Emma's muffled voice shout. "I-I'll be okay!" she adds, followed by a sniffle. The groaning sounds of digestion starting to kick in ring through your ears, and the crushing weight of Emma on top of you is unbearable. In desperation you attempt to lift the girl's gut off of you, and manage to create just enough space to <<if $fullness > 2>>shimmy<<else>>roll<</if>> out from under her. "Go ahead and run, I promise I'll take good care of her," she says, standing back up. She hugs her belly extremely tight to add to her point. "//*OOOuuurp*// <<if $fullness > 1>>I'd rather you finish plumping up before I have my second course<<else>>I want someone with your kinda spunk for tomorrow night<</if>>, so you can live for today. And if anyone else tries to eat you, let 'em know you already belong to Zoey," she says with a toothy smile. <<if $fullness > 2>>You get onto your feet again as quickly as you can, which isn't very fast with the awkward bulk you're dealing with.<<else>>You scramble onto your feet, a little dazed from the experience.<</if>> Now that Zoey's gut is stretched out with its prey and her shirt is riding up, you notice a new detail that makes your skin crawl. Tattooed on the side of her stomach is a pretty sizeable array of tally marks. <<if $emmaRel > 3>>You can't just leave Emma to die like this... but she did tell you to run and save yourself.<<else>>It doesn't seem right to just abandon Emma, but you're not sure there's really anything you can do, and she did tell you to save yourself.<</if>> <<link "Try to free Emma">><<if $fullness > 2>><<replace "#choice">><<set $emmaInjured to true>><<set $tooFatToHelp to true>>"No way," you say with a gulp. "I'm not leaving without Emma, let her go!" you demand, balling your hands into fists. Zoey grins and grips one of the bulges Emma is making in her gut tight. "We're having so much fun though!" she giggles, shaking her belly. "//*URP*// If you want her back, come get her." Her tongue darts between her lips. <<if $emmaRel > 3>>You immediately rush toward her, not really having a plan but knowing Emma is counting on you. You lunge into her belly, hoping to knock her over but she barely budges. Undeterred, you push in and up on her stomach, trying to force Emma out. You can feel her start to thrash harder, doing her best to take advantage of your help. Zoey just laughs. "You really care about her, huh?" she taunts. "Can't stand the thought of me churning her up like the meat she is, my stomach grinding your poor little friend into fat? Well you won't get anywhere like this, let me help you."<<else>>You hesitate, unsure of what your actual plan is and reminded that she almost certainly can manage to eat you too. Everything about her screams that she's a skilled predator; as far as you know, she might even be one of the seniors. Not to mention that you're not really in any condition to be doing any physical feats still. Looking at Emma's helpless squirming in her belly, your confidence starts to drain. "Come on, try it. You talk big, so do something. Make me spit her up," she says. "I'll give you a freebie, hands behind my back," she laughs, arching her back so her belly pushes out toward you. Taking a deep breath, you run at her. You do the first thing that comes to mind and try to tackle her to the ground, but you stumble under the weight of your belly. Rather than a meaningful push, she ends up just breaking your fall, leaving you awkwardly pressed into her gut. You push in hard, hoping maybe it will force Emma out, but stop when you hear Emma let out a pained grunt. "Haha //*urp*//, that the best you got?" Zoey laughs. "Feels pretty good, and I think your friend is enjoying it too. Here, let me help you out."<</if>> She grabs one of your arms and swings you into the wall, pinning you there with her gut. It's pressing uncomfortably tight against your own still-bloated stomach, starting to make you feel like you're going to be the one to lose your lunch here. She leans in, forcing Emma against you painfully hard. "Stop! S-Stop!" Emma shouts from inside her. Zoey belches from the pressure on her gut, then blows it into your face. "You see? Nothing you could have done would have helped her. She's my food now, and I don't give that back. Now..." she leans in further and slowly drags her tongue up your cheek. "I would //love// to have seconds, but it looks like you're going to fill out real nice for me if I pace myself~." She squeezes one of your breasts hard and pokes your squished belly. "So get out of my sight, I'll be back to collect soon enough." With that, she finally steps back away from you, only to then grab you and throw you to the ground. You watch, defeated, as she walks off down the hall with Emma in tow, laughing to herself. After getting to your feet, you decide there isn't much you can do now besides continuing on to class.

She leans in, forcing Emma against you painfully hard. You try to break free, but you can barely move with her Emma-filled belly pushed tight against your torso, so tight you can feel the contours of her body against yours. "Stop! S-Stop!" Emma shouts from inside her. Zoey belches from the pressure on her gut, then blows it into your face. "You see? Nothing you could have done would have helped her. She's my food now, and I don't give that back. <<if $emmaRel > 3>>But you were so desperate to help, and I'd hate to split up a pair~...<<else>>And you know?

She runs her slimy tongue all over your face before swallowing, pushing your head into the warm, tight embrace of her gullet. She steps back and grabs you with both arms, hoisting your body up into the air before continuing her meal. Your breasts slide across her teeth and into her mouth, growing slick with saliva before getting squeezed down into her throat as she hungrily gulps you down. <<if $emmaRel > 3>>You try to stay calm, not giving her the satisfaction of squirming on the way down.<<else>>You desperately kick your legs in the air, the only thing you can manage to try and resist with how well she has you locked down.<</if>> As you're pushed deeper and deeper into her, you feel your head start to slide against something hard rather than the squishy flesh of her insides. "$name? Oh no, no..." Emma mutters. "Hey..." you say as your face squeezes against hers, the constricting stomach walls forcing you to be cheek to cheek as your body slides in. Zoey gulps down your<<if $fullness > 0>> bloated<</if>> midriff and you push deeper into her stomach, your body pressing tight against Emma's as you're forced in alongside her. Your predator seems to pause and you end up stopped with your face buried in Emma's chest. <<if $emmaRel > 3>>You can actually hear her heartbeat start to race even harder.<</if>> Outside, with only your legs hanging out of her mouth, Zoey unzips your shorts and pulls them off. You squirm in surprise, sliding deeper into her all on your own from the movement. Once she has her prize, she grips your ass and greedily shoves it into her mouth. She quickly starts to work through the last of your legs, forcing your body into her cramped insides. Inside her gut, you're pressed tight against Emma, sliding down the front of her body as more of you enters into the gurgling chamber. As you're pushed beneath her, you can feel that acid is already starting to flood into her stomach, stinging at the back of your head. After feeling Zoey swallow your feet, condemning you to the dark prison of her body, you finally seem to settle into position. You're squeezed underneath Emma, your face almost directly in her crotch<<if $fullness > 1>> and your gut pressed uncomfortably tight against her<</if>>. The slick walls constrict you so hard that repositioning isn't really an option. "//*UUUUURRRP*// Do your worst in there you two, it's been too long since I've had a double," Zoey says. You can vaguely feel her running her hands along her belly. "Everything's so much more sensative with my stomach stretched thin.~" "$name? $name I'm so sorry I--A-are you okay?" Emma whimpers. <<if $emmaRel > 3>>"Don't worry this is, uh, all according to plan," you say, shifting your arms a bit. "What? This is awful, we're both gonna die!" she replies. "Hey, hey, stay calm," you say. The stomach groans around you, not helping your case. "This is bad, yeah, but we're gonna get out, together. Her stomach is gonna have a harder time keeping both of us down than just one, right?" "I guess, but... Oh I'm so sorry $name this is all my fault..." "L<<else>>"...I've been better," you reply.

<<set $time to 14.5>><<include "TIME">>After coming so close, there's no way you can just give up. If you made it out of her stomach once, no matter how brief, you know you can escape.

"$name I... I think I..." she says<<if $turn > 6>>, her strained voice suddenly filled with hope<</if>>. A moment later you hear a squishing sound, then another, and Emma slides forward a bit. She plants her legs against the wall behind you and pushes hard, resulting in her squeezing you into the moist flesh with her butt for a few seconds until her body starts to continue forward. You feel Zoey cough and grab her gut, followed by her stomach suddenly crushing down on you. <<if $acidStage > 1>>Your head is forced beneath the tide of bile, but you stay calm. <</if>>This is it, it has to be! Emma surges forward, and just as her legs are about to make their exit, the rhythmic pressure of the walls pushes yours up alongside her. The two of you are forced back up Zoey's esophagus together, slowly rising up toward freedom. You can feel that the flesh around you is being pushed to it's absolute limit, straining to contain the mass of two people at once. "Y-Yes! Yes!" you hear Emma cry above you. But her celebration quickly turns to panic. "No, s-stop! Get off!" You can feel her trying to wriggle her body up, but there's no room in the girl's throat for any significant motion. With a few very shallow gulps, Emma is dragged back in a little and for a brief moment you both start to go back down. But a particularly heavy push from her stomach forces you up and your legs slide in alongside Emma's chest, destroying whatever control Zoey had managed to get over the situation. You feel hands pushing against the bulge you're making, which you realize is Emma doing everything she can to pull herself out for good. You're squeezed forward inch by inch and you feel the cool air of the room against your toes as you finally start to cross the threshold of her lips. As soon as Emma's hips exit her throat and slide into her mouth, the pressure is alleviated just enough that the floodgates open. Your body and what remains inside of Emma's are rocketed forward along with all of the stomach acid that had built up, sending you back into the world. "We did it... $name we did it, we're out!" you hear Emma say next to you. You're lying in a warm puddle on the floor, your body slightly overlapping Emma's. <<if $turn < 8>>Your head is a bit foggy and it takes a moment for you to adjust to the change in setting. Your arms and legs are shakey as you start to struggle into an upright position, and it looks like Emma is in just as rough of shape. Both of your outfits have taken a serious beating from being inside her for so long, in fact your lower body is completely bare due to your shorts being removed beforehand.<<else>>You sputter on the ground, gasping for breath after nearly passing out from being held under for so long. It takes a few moments for you to be able to muster any strength, like your body had to remember how to move normally after being so cramped for so long. Eventually you manage to shakily get to your feet. You can feel that your clothes are completely gone, but that's the least of your worries at the moment.<</if>> Zoey is hunched over on her bed, hacking and coughing relentlessly. Her face is pale to the point of almost looking blue. <<if $turn > 4>>With a bit of disgust, you also notice that she's no longer wearing pants. <</if>>Looking around to get your bearings, you find that you're in her horror show of a dorm. The second bed in the room is barren other than a loose pile of ropes, and above Zoey's is what you can only assume is a trophy wall. A menagerie of various articles of clothing--shirts, bras, glasses, shoes--all strung up on display, along with a few stranger things, perhaps most disturbing being a dog collar. You spot the shoe she'd stolen from Emma and your missing shorts among the collection. "Oh god I'm..." Emma suddenly says with a sharp inhale. "G-Gross, Gross! This is disgusting, get it off, GET IT OFF!" she shrieks, frantically trying to rub the vomit off of her arms and starting to hyperventilate. "Emma, stay calm<<if $turn < 8>>!<</if>>" you say<<if $turn < 8>>, your voice sounding hoarse<</if>>. "We need to get the hell out of here!" You <<if $turn < 8>>stumble<<else>>hurry<</if>> over to the door. Zoey growls, but still seems to be immobilized from the pain of both of you escaping at once. "R-Right..." she says, taking a deep breath and scurrying over to you. You can see in her eyes that she's barely containing her panic. <<include "playerPreyEscape">>[[Flee to your dorm->Lunch Emma- Recovery]]

<<set $time to 13.75>><<include "TIME">><<set $metLeila to true>>You, Mina, and Tia get up and follow Claire out of the building, after saying farewell to the others of course. You step out into the warm air of the courtyard, the sun blazing high in the sky, and start to head across toward Karbo. "Hey, so, this class is upstairs right by the dorms you know. Why didn't we just go through Lampton?" Tia asks, quickening her pace to walk right next to Claire. "Me and my roommate had a real close call going that way this morning, it'll be safer for us this way," Claire replies. "Couldn't we have just gone with Kim though?" Tia says. "That's... a good point. But we'll be fine, trust me!" Just a few moments later, Tia yelps and you and Claire snap your attention to her. A tall, auburn haired girl has her by the arm, and you look just in time to see her head get engulfed by the sudden newcomer. You freeze for a moment, caught off guard, and watch as the predator makes short work of Tia, only her poor flailing legs sticking out from the girl's mouth by the time the thought that maybe you should help crosses your mind. It only takes a few seconds for those, too, to sink into the girl's maw, stretching out the wriggling swell of her belly as the last of her meal is forced to curl up inside. A wet belch escapes her lips and she pats her Tia laden gut in satisfaction. "Oh dear..." a quiet voice says behind you. Just as you and Claire had started to flee, you stop in your tracks and turn around to face your other companion. Another girl somehow managed to sneak up on you, and she's holding poor Mina up off the ground by her armpits. "Oh my god, you're like a doll!" the girl laughs. Her skin is a rich tan color and her hair extremely dark. She's wearing a beanie and very baggy clothes. "Rach, you ever seen fod this blatant?" "Yeah they're not even //*urp*// pretending anymore," the other girl replies. You faintly hear Tia's voice, but can't make out what she's trying to say. "Could you please put me down?" Mina squeaks. "Look at this shit, I can lift her like it's nothing! I'm not even that strong," she says, bouncing Mina up and down a little. "Girl, have you ever even eaten someone? How did you get in??" "Are you going to eat her or not Leila? Because your other options are taking themselves off the menu," the redhead chides. "$name we need to go!" Claire says, already a good distance away from you heading for the door to Karbo. You glance back at Mina. <<link "Rescue Mina">> <<replace "#choice">> "Not without her," you reply, starting to move toward the girl in the beanie. "Suit yourself!" Claire shouts, bolting toward the door and away from danger. "Put her down!" you demand, closing the gap between you and Mina with your hands balled into fists. Your heart's beating fast--you know this is dangerous, but you can't just leave Mina while there's still a chance to save her. "Ha, make me!" Leila jeers, lifting Mina even higher up. She's pretty much motionless in her arms, staring blankly at her captor. "Just let her go, she didn't do anything to you! Eat someone that deserves it," you plead, grabbing Mina's legs to try and pull her away from the girl. Unfortunately, you almost immediately stumble back with her boots in your hands. "Hey thanks! I didn't really want those in there anyway," Leila laughs. She starts to lower Mina into her mouth feet first right in front of you. "Oh my..." Mina squeaks as her toes slide across the girls tongue. She's still not struggling at all, but there's a very worried look in her eye now.<<if $lunchOther>> It's probably the most emotive you've ever seen her.<</if>> Acting on impulse, you run up and shove Leila to get her to stop. She's knocked backwards onto the ground and Mina yelps as she's suddenly dropped. You try to catch her, but she crashes onto the blacktop next to you. "Ow, my poor tailbone..." Mina whimpers, rubbing her backside. "And my toes, she bit me!" "Get up, we need to go!" you say, helping her get back on her feet and handing her her boots. "This is why you don't play around when you've got a whole group like this," the girl that ate Tia says. She's standing with her arms folded on top of her belly, leisurely watching the scene unfold while Tia fights frantically inside of her. With your hands still on Mina, your panicked mind has a thought. You're still surrounded by two upperclassmen, one of them now very pissed off, the other likely capable of eating Mina at least despite already having Tia, even if she seems disinterested. But you doubt either of them could get you if you were also sporting a gut... \ <<link "Swallow Mina to keep yourselves safe">> <<set _checkType to "prey">> <<set _baseline to 10>> <<set _modifier to 0>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $preyName to "swallow">> /* temp to know what intro to use in Leila's scene */ <<goto "Courtyard- Eaten by Leila">> <<else>> <<goto "Courtyard Encounter- Eat Mina">> <</if>> <</link>> <<link "Make a break for it">> <<set $karma += 1>> <<set $minaSaved to 1>> <<set _checkType to "prey">> <<set _baseline to 10>> <<set _modifier to 3>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<goto "Courtyard- Eaten by Leila">> <<else>> <<set $stamina -= 15>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<replace "#choice2">>\ You and Mina start to make a break for it, but a hand grabs you from behind. "Not so fast," Leila hisses, turning you to face her. A small drip of saliva still hangs from her scowling mouth from Mina's feet getting pulled out. "Juniper already ruined my first meal, no way am I ending today without getting my fill. And I think you just volunteered." She opens her mouth wide and tries to force your head inside, but you react just in time to duck away from her. Moving quickly, you shake the grip she has on your shoulder. She makes another grab for you before you can get away, but with adrenaline pumping through your veins you're able to throw her off again. You don't waste the opportunity this time, making a break for it toward Karbo with Mina. @@color:yellowgreen;You managed to escape.@@ <<Leila -1>> You keep running until you're in the building, only stopping to catch your breath once the two of you are all the way down the main hall and standing right by your dorm. Mina finally takes the opportunity to put her boots back on. "I believe I may have bruised myself, it still hurts," Mina says, brushing a hand past her rear again. She seems completely unphased by all the running, not even breaking a sweat while you're panting a little. "Oh but where are my manners, thank you $name! I thought that was the end, but you saved me! I truly appreciate it." "Don't mention it," you say with a smile. "I wasn't gonna just stand by while you were in danger." She smiles, and you think you can see the tiniest bit of red creep into her cheeks. <<Mina 1>> "Well, I guess we should still get to class," you say.

Claire frantically throws open the door to Karbo and you take one last look back before following her in, watching Mina disappear down the girl's throat. You pry your eyes away before seeing the end and rush indoors to safety. "I told her everything would be fine, like, two seconds before someone gulped her down... That's really gonna bum me out when I think about it," Claire says when the two of you catch your breath. There's a brief pause. "Well, off to class!" "Just like that huh?" you say. "We're not even gonna take a moment here?" "Yep! I'm learning to live in the chaos. Nothing we can do for them now, so the only thing to do is move on," she says, smiling like nothing happened.

"Trust me..." you whisper to her. However, you hesitate for just a moment too long and Leila is able to grab Mina again before you can execute your plan. "Come on, she's mine!" Leila grunts as she tries to pull her away from you. After some back and forth that must have been uncomfortable for the tiny girl, you manage to wrestle Mina away from her again, but you realize you aren't going to get a chance to swallow her with the way things are going. "We've gotta go!" you shout to Mina, changing plans and just trying to run for it. You give her a nudge forward, but before you can join her in making a break for it a hand grabs you from behind.<<else>>You and Mina start to make a break for it, but a hand grabs you from behind.<</if>> "Not so fast," Leila hisses, turning you to face her. A small drip of saliva still hangs from her scowling mouth. "Juniper already ruined my first meal, no way am I ending today without getting my fill. And it looks like you just volunteered." You try to throw her off of you, but she grips your arms tight and opens her mouth wide. "Mina, RUN!" you shout. For a moment, everything is still, and you stare deep into the red abyss of Leila's insides. Then, in an instant, your head is squeezed into them.<<set $minaRel += 1>> @@color:orange;You've been overpowered.@@ With a heavy swallow, she pulls you deeper in, your face sliding across her slick tongue and the top of your head pushing into the tight embrace of her throat as her lips settle around yours. A piercing on her lower lip scratches against your skin as you slide into her. She's got your arms completely locked at your sides, eagerly gulping down your chest. Her heartbeat is overpowering as your head is forced through the constricting tunnel of her esophagus, not far from your final destination. In a frantic effort to get free, you kick your legs toward her. To your surprise, you actually seem to catch her off guard, knocking one leg into her chest hard enough that you feel the impact yourself. She stumbles, but to your dismay manages to right herself pretty quickly, and you feel someone else's hand grip your leg. "Do I have to do everything for you?" the voice of the redheaded girl sighs. She sounds oddly distant through the barrier of Leila's body despite clearly being right next to you. With another gulp, your head finally presses through the base of her throat and into the more flexible embrace of her stomach. "Come on, stop!" you shout. With the assistance of the other girl, you don't have much confidence in struggling out at this point. You feel one of Leila's hands press against your head from the outside, feeling your body fill out hers since someone else has your legs handled. It doesn't take much longer for your fate to be sealed, the rest of you inching it's way through her mouth and down into her stomach. Your body curls up into the dark, humid confines of her gut. You feel the cool metal of her piercing slide down your foot, then her lips seal around your toes and it's over. "//*UUUrrp*// Ah, thanks Rach, love ya," Leila says, holding her gut with her arms. You feel her grip it from below and bounce you a few times. "This brat had some smooth moves, you really saved my butt there." "Yeah, yeah. I've got class, so I'm taking mine to go," the other girl says. "Bye, I guess," Leila replies. Your entire world bounces and jiggles around, moving in time with her footsteps. Then you feel her shift into a sitting position, lounging back with her bloated belly pushed out. "Mmm, this feeling never gets old..." "Let me out!" you shout. You can feel her tracing circles around the form of your body with one of her hands. "I didn't mean me when I said to eat someone else!"

It doesn't take long for your acid-drenched body to force it's way up out of her stomach and back into the outside world. You slide along her body and down onto the ground, splayed out on a very rough surface<<if $acidStage > 0>> in the middle of a puddle of digestive fluids<</if>>. It takes a minute for your eyes to adjust to the light, but you can see that you're still outside in the courtyard. Your attempted predator is sprawled across one of the benches by the fountain just in front of you, coughing and clutching her stomach. <<if $turn < 3>>You slowly push yourself up into a sitting position, then onto your feet.

Although you feel like you might collapse, you manage to force your way up onto two feet.<</if>> "Fucking bullshit..." you hear Leila mutter. She doesn't seem focused on you at all, surprisingly. In fact, <<if $acidStage > 0>>her headphones are on still and you can faintly hear that the music is still playing.<<else>>you watch as she pulls out a set of over-ear headphones and haphazardly slides them on.<</if>> "What the fuck did I do to deserve spilling my guts twice in one day...

You and Leila aren't the only ones in the courtyard, you can see four other girls from where you're standing. And all of them are staring at you. Two are sitting on another one of the benches off toward Lampton, an unsettling curiosity in their eyes. Another walking down that same path seems to be laughing, and gives you an enthusiastic //*Woo!*// when she sees you looking her way. And then there's one between you and Karbo, having just stepped out of the building. She stares you down and you hold your breath<<if $turn > 7>>, slowly moving your hands to cover yourself as the embarrassment at how exposed you are finally starts to creep past your exhaustion<</if>>. A sigh of relief leaves your lips as the girl simply gives you a disgusted look and turns to take a different path between buildings.

Luckily, she seems to be the only one in the lobby at the moment. <<if $outfitState is "drenched">>"Oh goodness, are you alright dear?" she asks. It's the same woman from yesterday. "I'm sorry, the girls always get so rowdy on the first day." "Yeah, I'm fine," you reply, still feeling good about your victory. "Just need a shower." "Well that's good to hear! I hope you don't have any more trouble today," the woman says with a smile. "Thanks!"<<elseif $outfitState is "damaged">>"Oh goodness, are you alright dear?" she asks.

"Well, here's a uniform if you want to put on something a bit more decent before walking down the hall," she says, handing you <<if $knowUniform>>one of the bags with the school uniform<<else>>a clear plastic bag with clothes in it<</if>>. "Do you think you need the nurse?" "Thanks, I think I'll be fine..." you say, taking the clothes from her. "Alright then dear, good luck with the rest of the day!" she ways with a warm smile. "Oh I wouldn't wear that uniform after you're back at your dorm though! I hear it's bad luck to have it today."<<set $wardrobeUniform to true>><<set $knowUniform to true>><<elseif $outfitState is "gone">>"Oh my, do you need the nurse dear?" she calls out, ducking down to grab something. "N-No, just... exhausted..." you mutter, shambling over to her desk. "Oh you look more than that!" the woman says in a worried tone. She holds out <<if $knowUniform>>one of the bags with the school uniform<<else>>a clear plastic bag with clothes in it<</if>> for you to take. "Here take this, there's no one in the bathroom right now so why don't you go clean up a bit?" "Thanks..." you say, carefully taking the bag in a way that lets you keep shielding your body. You head to the bathroom as quickly as you can, locking the door behind you. No longer //publicly// nude, you breathe a sigh of relief. You start to open the bag but, noticing the drain on the floor just in front of the sink, you decide it would be smarter to get at least some of the sludge off of yourself instead of trapping it under your clothing. Slowly but surely, you rinse yourself off using the sink water. It's not perfect, and splashing water on your exposed body in a public restroom certainly felt odd, but it gets the job done well enough for the walk back to your dorm.<<if $knowUniform>> You quickly don the uniform and step back out into the lobby.<<else>> You crack open the bag and start to make yourself decent. The uniform is fairly standard for school attire--a white collared shirt with a grey jacket and a moderate length frilled navy skirt. To your surprise the bag also contains a set of plain black underwear--the bra is a size or two too big, but you can manage. You quickly don the new outfit, noticing that it has a slight lemon scent to it. Checking yourself out in the mirror, you decide that it's actually a pretty good look for you. Fully clothed and less vomity than your were, you step back out into the lobby.<</if>><<set $outfit to "uniform">><<set $knowUniform to true>><<set $wardrobeUniform to true>> "There, that's got to feel better!" the secretary beams. "Yeah, thank you. I need to get back to my dorm to take a real shower though," you reply. Although your body is passable now, your hair is still pretty disgusting. "Of course, of course! But you'll be much more comfortable walking back like this," she says with a warm smile. "Do be sure to change out of that for the rest of the day when you get there though!

A few girls give you strange looks or stifle a laugh when you pass by them, but no one seems even a little interested in getting someone's sloppy seconds. Once you make it to the door, you throw open the lock and step inside. The room is empty, with Emma presumably at the class that you're missing.<<if $outfitState is "damaged">> You toss the bag with the uniform onto your bed for now, not intending to put it on given the warning the secretary gave you.<</if>> You grab your towel and head into the bathroom. While the water in the shower warms up a bit, you strip off<<if $outfitState is "damaged">> what's left of<</if>> your clothes and prepare to <<if $outfitState is "gone">>get properly clean<<else>>finally get clean<</if>>. <<if $outfitState is "drenched">>While you may be feeling fine, your outfit didn't fare so well, completely saturated in Leila's digestive fluids.

You immediately turn your attention to your hair, not wanting to risk permanent damage from having it drenched with acid for so long.

Then it's time for your body, which feels like a refreshingly normal shower after already being rinsed off once.<<else>>You're immediately refreshed, reminded that warmth can also be comforting after being trapped in the cramped, sweltering confines of a stomach. The residual acid quickly washes away from you. You spend plenty of time rinsing out your hair, replacing the vile odor of vomit with the pleasant scents of shampoo and conditioner.<</if>> Once you're completely clean and feeling refreshed, you turn off the water, dry off, and head back out into the room. With Emma still gone, you drop your towel and quickly assemble a new outfit, putting it on right there by your bed. You're feeling much better, but the shower still did very little for your exhaustion from the escape. You drop back onto your bed.

Emma cries as the two of you barge into your room. <<if ($outfitState is "gone") and ($emmaRel > 3)>>You lock the door behind you, and feel a tug at your arm. "Come on, we're getting clean," Emma says, pulling you along with her.<<else>>You lock the door while she bolts for the bathroom.

You follow her into the bathroom and over to the shower, neither of you even bothering to close the door. Emma starts the water and steps in a few moments later. She gestures for you to follow, though she looks stressed. "Ahh, finally," Emma sighs, standing beneath the stream of water and letting the slime melt away from her. With a bright red face, you watch the liquid flow over her chest and down her body. "Come on, we gotta get clean..." she says, stepping aside slightly so there's room for you to be partially under the water. Her cheeks are also burning up. Following her lead, you step into the stream of water, instantly feeling refreshed. You wash the acids off of your skin as quickly as you can, making your best effort to not stare at Emma's nude body. The two of you start to rinse out your hair at the same time, turning back to back. "So..." you say. "I know," Emma replies, faster and louder than she probably meant to, "but... we've both been naked the whole time already and I thought 'why be all gross longer than we need to be'. I'm sorry, this is so awkward isn't it..." "Well, as I recall someone shoved their bare ass into my face when we were getting out, so compar-" you start to reply. "No stop!" Emma squeals. "Let's not talk about what happened in there..." she whimpers. You finish cleaning your hair, nothing but the warm weight of water upon it now. Grabbing your body wash, you start to rub yourself down, keeping your back to Emma. You take a quick peek behind you as you finish soaping up your back and notice that she's facing you now, covering her breasts with one hand and strategically standing in a way that conceals her crotch. There's a sheepish look on her face and a bar of soap in her free hand. "Um... do you think you could... uh," she says, tumbling over her words. "...get my back? I'm always paranoid that I'm missing spots..." "Uh, sure," you reply, taking the soap from her. She quickly spins around when you turn to her, her eyes going wide when she notices you aren't mimicking her attempt at modesty. With a somewhat shakey hand at first, you start to rub the bar of soap across her back, starting by tracing it across her shoulder blades. She shivers ever so slightly at the motion. You work it a bit lower, your fingers running along her soft skin this time from the bar slightly shifting in your grip. You keep moving lower, not sure how much she wants you to do, until you gingerly slide your hand down the slight divet on the small of her back. Emma lets out a slight moan, then almost instantly whips around and grabs the bar from your hands. "Hey th-thanks! I think I'm good thanks so much!" she blurts out, quickly rinsing the residual soap off her back. She rushes through shampooing her hair, trying to hide her embarrassment. Without a word, she jumps out of the shower, and you decide to take your time so that she has a little while to cool down. When you do finally finish, you find a towel resting on the sink for you and the bathroom door finally closed. You dry off and step back into the room with the towel wrapped tight, finding Emma standing between the beds and fidgeting with her hands. She's fully clothed again, wearing a slightly more conservative outfit than before--light jeans with a pale orange shirt that hugs her form. You head over to your bed and start pulling some clothes out of the dresser. "I was going to put some clothes in there for you too but I didn't want to go through your underwear, sorry," Emma says quietly. "No worries, thanks for the towel," you say, heading back toward the bathroom. Emma taps your shoulder and you turn toward her, only to immediateley find yourself hugged tight. "Thank you so much, $name," she says with a sniffle. "I'd be dead right now if it weren't for you." She squeezes you tight and you gently return the hug. "You're the best roommate I could have asked for." She sniffles again, then the warmth of her body gently pulls away. "But... after you get changed lets forget what just happened, alright?" she says, wiping her eye. "Of course," you say softly. You step back into the bathroom and shut the door, quickly throwing on the outfit you picked out. <<else>>While Emma cleanses herself, you stand around awkwardly, hoping you aren't creating a stain on the carpet. You can still hardly believe that you and Emma are both back in your dorm and okay--Zoey really seemed like a challenge you couldn't overcome. But here you are, safe for now. Tired of feeling so disgusting, you take one of your bath towels and start to wipe off some of the sludge coating your body. It's better than nothing, and you can just wash it later. After a few minutes, the door to the bathroom very slightly creaks open. "Hey $name, can you, uh, hand me a towel?" Emma asks. "I was a little too eager to get clean..." You grab a bright blue towel draped over the foot of her bed and hold it up to the small opening of the door. A wet hand quickly snatches it and disappears back into the bathroom. "Thaaaanks," Emma says. A short while later the door swings completely open and she steps out into the room, wrapped tight in the towel. Her hair is still heavy with water, but the rest of her is dry and practically sparkling compared to what she looked like before. "Omigod go get clean!" she squeaks<<if $outfitState isnot "drenched">>, covering her eyes with one hand<</if>>.

After a good fifteen minutes or so, you're feeling much better, most of your stress melting away with the filth. You step back into the room wrapped in a towel. Emma, fully dressed again, is sitting on the edge of her bed brushing her hair with a small mirror in one hand. She's wearing a slightly more conservative outfit than before--light jeans with a pale orange shirt that hugs her form. "Ugh, I think the acid did some permanent damage to my hair," she grumbles. "My orange doesn't look as bright as it used to..." "Hey, at least we're alive," you say, bending over to get replacement clothes out of your dresser. "I think it still looks <<if $emmaRel > 2>>pretty<<else>>fine<</if>>." "Yeah I... Don't think I can thank you enough, $name," she replies, setting the brush and mirror down on the bed. "I told you to run because I thought you'd be safe, but I don't think I ever would have gotten out alone. You stood up to that monster just for me and I just... I..." You turn around and immediately find yourself embraced tight by Emma. "Thank you," she says with a sniffle.<<if $emmaRel > 3>> She squeezes you tight and you gently return the hug, silently praying that you secured your towel well enough. "You're the best roommate I could have asked for." The warmth of her body gently pulls away.<<else>> Taken by surprise, you only just start to return the hug when she pulls away.<</if>> "S-Sorry, I should let you get some clothes on," she says, wiping her eye. "Well, it's not like we..." you start to say, trailing off as you lock eyes with her. You both immediately come to an unspoken agreement to never discuss the situation inside of Zoey's gut. "Uh right, I'll go get changed," you say, returning to the bathroom. You quickly put on the new outfit you'd picked out.<</if>> <<if $emmaRel < 3>><<Emma 2>><<else>><<Emma 1>><</if>> "So, it's definitely too late to go to class," Emma says as you enter back into the room.

"$name! Pretty damn flawless timing," she says, walking your way from the hall that leads to the pool. Her hair is tied back in a ponytail and she's changed into just a green sports bra and grey athletic shorts. You could tell before that she was fit, but without the blouse it's clear she's //fit//. Her arms and legs are very toned, and her exposed midriff shows off pretty defined abs. "You ready to sweat?" "Ready as I'll ever be," you reply. You quickly look her over again. "I, uh, don't know that I'll be able to keep up with you though." "Hah! I just do cardio Mondays, nothin' too crazy. Hoping to scout out the facility a bit for later in the week," she says. <<if $kaylaRel > 1>>You let out a surprised yelp as she lifts up the front of your shirt.

"Come on, let's go!"<<else>> "That doesn't sound too bad," you say, the two of you starting to head toward the stairs.<<if $fat > 12>> "That's probably what I was gonna do too, gotta work off this chub."<</if>><</if>><<elseif $metKayla>>Coming down the hall to the right is a familiar face from yesterday--Kayla.

I think we got off on the wrong foot yesterday, you want to work out together?" <<if $cookoutAlice>>She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath before answering. <</if>>"Sure," she answers, not looking overly excited.

"Hey! You're a freshman too, right?" she asks. It's a girl with a dark brown ponytail and golden skin, wearing a green sports bra and grey athletic shorts. She's very fit, even sporting pretty well defined abs. "<<if $introA > 0>>We had Intro together earlier, pretty sure<<else>>You look kinda familiar<</if>>." "Uh, yeah, what's up?" you say skeptically. "Name's Kayla, you wanna be my workout buddy? Safer to stick together with all these upperclassmen prowling today," she says, extending a hand.

"Well $name, let's get to it!"<</if>> <<if $kaylaRel >= 0>>The two of you<<else>> You<</if>> walk up the stairs to the second floor, headed for the weight room. When you reach the landing, you pause for a moment, watching a girl that's running on the track. She has a belly filled with someone who's clearly still alive hanging in front of her, bouncing wildly as she jogs. She's managing a decent speed still, but she looks absolutely exhausted, her gut glistening with sweat. Impressed, but also a little concerned, you continue on your way and step through the open doorway into the workout room. The room is bright and a little smaller than you expected, looking like you could only fit maybe ten people at once before it started feeling overcrowded. Luckily, at the moment there's only one girl other than you and Kayla there--a blonde taking a break to chug some water next to one of the machines. Lining the opposite wall are a half dozen treadmills, all facing large windows, and way down on the left side of the room there are a couple exercise bikes. What's conspicuously absent for something referred to as the weight room is any kind of weights at all.<<if $kaylaRel >= 0>> <<if ($kaylaRel is 0) and ($metKayla)>>"You ready?" Kayla asks, starting to stretch out. "If you're with me, I'm doing cardio."<<else>>"Well, this is a kinda disappointing," Kayla says, starting to stretch out. "I might have to look for something in town if I'm gonna keep up with my usual routine.

You take things simple, starting slow and building up to a decent pace, then sticking to it. Next to you, however, you can't help noticing Kayla going much harder, setting an incline for a while, then switching to doing sprints with short breaks in between after that. After a good half hour of running you slow back to a walk, then step off, exhausted. Not long after Kayla joins you, dripping with sweat.<<else>>You do some stretches to loosen up, then hop onto the nearest treadmill. Kayla is at the opposite side of the room, taking her time stretching out before also mounting one of the treadmills. You take things nice and easy, starting slow and building up to a decent pace to hold for your run. On the other end of the room, Kayla seems to almost be mocking you with how intense she's making her workout. You ignore her, slowly coming to a stop after a good half hour of running.<</if>> <<if $kaylaRel >= 0>>"Whew! That's what I'm talking about," Kayla beams, launching into some cooldown stretches. "How you feelin' $name?" You pant a little before answering, your legs already starting to feel heavy from standing still. "I'm... a little winded..." you reply, starting to follow her lead. "That's good, means you worked hard!" she says. "Looked like you were pushing yourself just enough." <<else>>You stand by the door and do a few quick stretches to cool down. <</if>>While you're stretching, you notice the girl that was running on the track exit and head downstairs. Except you realize it's not the same girl: she's still got a gut, but this one's a little chubbier and has completely different hair. That hair is also completely drenched, too saturated to just be from sweat. <<Workout>>Contrast to your warm skin, your belly feels oddly cool, and you're feeling lighter on your feet than earlier. @@color:lime;You must have lost weight!@@<<if $counter is 1>> Unfortunately, your bra also feels like it isn't fitting quite right anymore. @@color:red;That weight had to come from somewhere.@@<</if>> <<if $kaylaRel >= 0>>"Man, I am STARVING now," Kayla says as the two of you step out out of the room.

"Heh, that's a good point," you reply, still hot and sweaty.<<if ($kaylaRel is 0) and $metKayla>> You smile to yourself--it seems like she's moved past her beef with you.<</if>> "Let's do it." "Sweet, just gotta go grab my clothes from the locker room," she says, leaving you to hurry down the hall. A little while later, two other girls round the corner and come your way down the hall. You raise an eyebrow--it's both of the girls you'd seen running on the track, neither sporting an enlarged belly anymore and both looking fresh out of the shower. They walk past you out of the building, chatting away happily with each other, just as Kayla comes back into view. She's wearing a t-shirt over her bra now, but she's just carrying the rest of her clothes. <<if $kaylaRel is 2>>"You and I should try that sometime, looked like a hell of a workout," she says with a grin when she rejoins you.

As you're heading down the stairs, Kayla comes behind you, moving quickly and brushing past you. <<link "Try to make amends">><<replace "#choices">>"Kayla, wait!" you call out, rushing down a few steps to catch up with her. It seems silly to make an enemy over something so small. "What do you want?" she says, stopping with a frown on her face. "I'm sorry about the cookout yesterday, alright?" you say. "I didn't think it was that big of a deal at the time, but you were in the right and I should have sided with you." "Look, I'm not even really that mad //at// you, I'm just mad you let that bitch feel like she won," Kayla sighs. "I respect owning up to your mistakes, so, water under the bridge. This time." "Thanks," you say, smiling. She gives you a half smile back and puts a hand on your shoulder. "You really gotta hit the gym more <<if $fat > 12>> gordita<<else>>stringbean<</if>>," she says with a laugh before walking away down the hall. <<Kayla 1>> All that exercise really built up your appetite, so you decide to head over to the dining hall.

"Yeah, we're safe," you assure her, double checking the door to make sure when you go to turn the light off.

She's wearing a red and white tank top that barely extends past her chest and low riding red shorts, leaving more of her exposed than not. Your mouth waters--she's practically asking for it. She turns away from you and starts to walk down the hall, not seeming to notice you watching. You start to follow, not wanting to miss your opportunity, but hesitate for just a moment. You're definitely getting freshman vibes from her, a telling uncertain look in her eyes when she stepped out, but she also looks like she's pretty in shape. There isn't much time to think. <<link "Make your move">> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to false>> <<set _baseline to 10>> <<set _modifier to 3>> <<set $stamina -= 16>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto "On the Hunt- Eat Alex">> <<else>> <<goto "On the Hunt- Tables Turn">> <</if>> <</link>> <<link "Make your move (Aggressive)">> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to true>> <<set _baseline to 10>> <<set _modifier to 3>> <<set $stamina -= 16>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto "On the Hunt- Eat Alex">> <<else>> <<goto "On the Hunt- Tables Turn">> <</if>> <</link>> <<link "Wait for someone else">><<replace "#choice">>Although it seemed like it might be your lucky break, you decide to pass her up. If she looked tough enough to give you pause, you feel it's probably best to try and find an easier target. But, not missing a beat, you realize she still could be useful. She came out of the bathroom, and if she's over on this end of Karbo that means she's probably in class. You tail her, and sure enough she goes into one of the rooms at the opposite end of the hall. You peek in the door a little while after she goes in, finding what definitely looks to be a freshman class with Professor Juniper teaching. Not wanting to get caught you pull away and stand a bit down the hall, keeping an eye on the door while trying not to act suspicious. It takes a long time for it to open again. You start to get bored, pacing up and down the hall waiting for any opportunity. After about an hour you even start to double check all the other rooms in the two halls you can see your target from. All empty--evidently there aren't many classes this late in the day. Eventually the room opens again... and everyone pours out. You're hopeful for a moment, but all of the students stay in a pretty close pack, half of them, including your initial target, are even paired up chatting with friends. There's no way you'd be able to get away with grabbing someone. You slowly walk behind the group, acting like you just happened to be in the hall. When you pass by the room you glance inside, but there's not a single straggler. Still determined to not waste your time, you break off from behind the group when you come to the stairwell to try upstairs again. You immediately turn around when you reach the top, however, as the first thing you see is a group of three older looking girls not far down the hall, two of them doting on the third's massive belly. Your stomach growls on the way back down the stairs, getting impatient. With a sigh, you decide to give up your hunt and settle for normal food.

The odds you'll get an opportunity this perfect again are slim--you can't afford to pass it up just because she doesn't look like a complete pushover. If you take her by surprise you're confident you can get her down, and once she's down, your stomach can handle the rest. And that may be the only option you have anyway, because you need to act fast. She came out of the bathroom, which means she's probably headed back to one of the nearby classrooms. You close the gap between you as quietly as you can, practically holding your breath to avoid detection. Trailing a couple feet behind, you prepare to grab her, aiming to cover her mouth with one hand and lock down her arms with the other. She's yet to suspect a thing--or so you thought. The moment you rush forward, the girl turns and decks you square in the face. You falter to the side, reflexively bringing your hands to your throbbing nose. "//Rrrgh//, you ASSHOLE! Did you think I couldn't hear you?" the girl growls, her eyes strained with rage. She grabs your shoulders and pushes you to the wall while you're still reeling from her punch. "I've HAD it with today, can't you jerks just leave us alone?" Her freckled face slowly contorts with shock and disgust, her grip on your shoulders tightening. "You shitbag... you're from our fucking class, aren't you!?" she shouts, spraying your face with a few drops of spit. Having recovered from the shock of her initial blow, you push hard on her stomach to shove her off of you. She stumbles back, coming just shy of losing her balance before recovering. Her fists clench. "Yeah, and you're about to be dinner," you say, wiping a hand past your nose and finding a very small amount of blood. You need to make this quick--her yelling is definitely going to attract unwanted attention. "Try me bitch," she growls. "That nosebleed's gonna be the least of your worries in my gut!" She lunges forward to regain her grip on you, but you dodge to the side. You quickly step behind her and ram her into the wall. One of her elbows strikes back at you, jabbing rather painfully into your side, but when she tries to repeat the motion you hook your arm through hers to keep it still. You grab her other arm and hold it tight, pressing your body against hers to keep her pinned. You waste no time wrapping your lips around the back of her head--the amount of force she's managing to push back with despite the positioning makes you worry about how long you'll keep the upper hand. @@color:yellowgreen;You overpowered your prey.@@ "GET OFF ME! I'LL FUCKI--//MMRG//!" Her rant is muffled as the rest of her head enters your mouth and starts its journey down your throat. You swallow hard and hug her midsection tight, locking her arms at her sides as you feed her body into yours. You feel your throat bulging out as her head, then her shoulders, press into the tight grip of your esophagus. She's thrashing hard all the way down, an odd discomfort spreading through your chest as her efforts shift the already intense pressure in your throat. A few swallows later, your stomach is starting to balloon out with the mass of her head and chest. The writhing bulge lets out all manner of grunts and obscenities as it steadily grows larger. As your lips slide down near her waist, you start to lift her legs up overhead, only for her to immediately take the opportunity to kick off of the wall as hard as she can, knocking you back onto the floor. The force pops her butt into your mouth, and you simply continue swallowing her down from your new position laying on the ground, holding her legs to keep them still. You regret having to do things so quickly--she's delicious, especially with so much of her flesh exposed. Her skin has a salty taste to it, but not overwhelmingly so, like a perfectly seasoned fry, and her fit physique is a welcome change from most meals you've experienced. Tender and firm, rather than soft and squishy. After a few more gulps, her legs disappear into you and you seal your mouth around her feet. Before you've even felt her finish her journey, you struggle up onto your feet. Her wild thrashing forces you to brace against the wall almost immediately to keep your balance. You feel gas race up your throat as her feet finally join the rest of the girl and clear the way. You stifle the burp as much as you can, keeping your mouth closed and breathing out the heavy air when it's through, not wanting to risk drawing unwanted attention. Wanting to ensure you have some privacy, you waddle over to a classroom door a few feet behind where the fight had taken place. Your stomach is begging for you to sit still, weighing heavy and writhing incessantly with your prey's attempts to throw you off balance. Luckily, the door is unlocked and you move into the empty room. Just as the door clicks shut behind you, you hear a shout from further down the hall: "Alex, was that you? I thought I heard shouting," the voice calls. It sounds like Professor Juniper. You breathe a sigh of relief--out of sight just in time. You move a bit deeper into the room and away from the door, to ensure you won't be easily spotted by someone peeking into the room. Then, you finally drop down onto one of the seats and let out a very audible sigh. It's followed very shortly by a belch that you comfortably let free into the air. "Aaahh, finally," you say, running your hands gently along your bulging belly. "You and I can //*uuuurp*// have some time to relax..." "FUCK YOU! I'm gonna make you cry from in here, and when your insides have finally had enough I'll show you what a //real// stomach can do!" Alex screeches from inside of you. <<include $sceneActionsLink>> <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "predOptions">></div>

<<set $time to 17.25>><<include "TIME">><<set $ateAlex to false>><<set $lostAlex to true>>Your confidence immediately drains away as a sharp pain cuts through your gut, Alex managing to strike the walls with so much force that you fall forward onto the ground. You clutch your belly, leaning on top of it while your prey thrashes wildly within. That blow turned the tide in her favor, a plethora of aches and pains suddenly flashing through your abdomen. You feel your stomach clench and know that it's over. Alex slides back into your throat, painfully forced up by your upset stomach, eager to relieve itself of the source of its suffering. Her head sprouts out of yours, followed quickly by her shoulders. "I TOLD YOU YOU COULDN'T HANDLE ME, BITCH!" Alex cheers as the rest of her is pushed out of your body and out onto the classroom floor. <<if $preyHealth is 1>>She's breathing heavily, panting between each word, and lying in a pool of digestive juices that followed her up. You watch her slowly push herself up into a sitting position while you sputter on the ground yourself. She's completely naked, and her once wild hair is drenched and hanging flat. "Damn it..." you mutter, leaning back against the chair clutching your stomach. The pain is still sharp, but quickly starting to subside. "You got lucky..." Alex rises to her feet, her legs shaking a bit for a second. She seems to notice her lack of clothes for the first time, but looks more annoyed than embarrassed. "FUCK... YOU..." she grunts She storms out of the room, leaving you alone with an aching stomach. You sigh and sit back, taking a few deep breaths to help your body normalize. After a few minutes your stomach grumbles. "You //had// food and you blew it!" you grumble back, feeling dumb for saying it out loud a moment later. You stand back up, deciding to just head over to the dining hall for food. <<include "playerPredFail">>[[Go get dinner->September 2nd- Dinner]]<<else>>She gets to her feet pretty quickly, pure rage on her face. Her once wild hair is draped down over her head from being soaked with digestive fluids, amplifying the aggressive look she's giving you. Tiny holes and frayed edges decorate her clothes. While you sputter on the ground, clutching your stomach, she steps closer and stands over you. "Now it's time to do this right," she says, a toothy grin spreading across her face. <<link "Uh oh">> <<set _checkType to "prey">> <<set _baseline to 8>> <<set _modifier to $preyHealth>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<include "playerPredFail">> <<goto "On the Hunt- Tables Turn">> <<else>> <<set $stamina -= 6>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<replace "#main">>\ Adrenaline rushes through your veins as you realize she intends to turn the tables on you. You roll to the side and quickly try to scramble to your feet, the stinging sensation in your stomach fading from your thoughts. Alex had started to pounce on you, but caught herself against the table when you evaded. She grabs for you as soon as you manage to stand up, getting a grip on your hair and pulling you back. Luckily, your stomach did take a toll on her and she's acting sluggish compared to your earlier struggle. You lash out behind you with one arm, smacking her right in the face. It's enough to make her lose her hold on you, and you immediately take the opportunity to bolt. "FUCKER!"

Her anger is apparent as she gulps you down, moving with a furious speed and grabbing at your body to feed it into herself. You fruitlessly try to put up any kind of resistance as you slide out from under her and up into her waiting maw.

You try to squirm away, but it's no use--you've turned from predator to prey. The slick passage of her throat pulls you deeper and deeper in, dragging your body out of the cool hallway air into the sweltering depths of her body. Your head squeezes into her stomach, followed quickly by your shoulders and chest. You flail your legs wildly as they hang out of her mouth, but they're quickly slurped up and sent to join the rest of your body curling into her expanding belly.

The walls pulse around you from the agitation, and you put all your strength into a solid kick forward to try and overpower her. Her stomach lets out a deep groan and squeezes down on you, pushing your head up into her esophagus. Success. Alex's coughing is quickly replaced by gagging as your head forces it's way back into her mouth, then out into the open air. For a moment, you get worried as she grapples your arms when they squeeze past her lips, but she quickly seems to give up on the idea of forcing you back down and clutches her own shrinking belly instead.

Always groups of three or four, nothing you're bold enough to try and tackle. You change positions a few times, trying to avoid putting yourself at risk. You start to grow bored, over an hour passing without any suitable prey in sight. At one point you thought you finally had your break: a nervous looking girl walking all alone, right past the bench you were camped out on. Not too far behind her, however, was a trio of girls with the confidence of upperclassmen, one of them sporting a prey-heavy belly, and you didn't dare risk making a move and making yourself vulnerable to them. You hold out hope, but as the sky starts to darken to night you've still had no luck. Your stomach whines, demanding something to fill it. At first you want to keep at it, knowing a big meal would be all the more satisfying on such an empty stomach, but you spot two girls coming across the way from the sports complex and fear your luck being out in the open without any trouble may have come to an end. Both of them are eyeing you and clearly headed right in your direction. Luckily there's still quite some distance between you, so you feel it's an appropriate time to turn in the towel and go get a normal meal. [[Retreat to the dining hall->September 2nd- Dinner]]

You barge out of the room and into the hall. At almost the same time, a door further down the hall opens as well and a few students start to trickle out. Alex's class must be over. <<if $outfitState is "gone">>Not wanting to expose yourself to a large chunk of your classmates<<else>>Cursing your luck<</if>>, you sprint in the opposite direction toward the stairs. Luckily, the downstairs of the building seems pretty barren, so you're <<if $outfitState is "gone">>free from prying eyes<<else>>unbothered<</if>> on the way back to your dorm. You quickly unlock the door<<if !$emmaInjured>><<if $outfitState is "gone">><<if $emmaRelation2 is 1>>, but, remembering your encounter last night, you just open it slightly and stick your head through first. "Uh, I'm naked," you say, spotting Emma on her bed. She immediately covers her eyes and turns away. "Thanks for the warning!" she says. "Things didn't go well then?" "Nope!" you reply, grabbing your towel to cover yourself. You hastily grab some clothes from your dresser. "Bit off more than I could chew and almost didn't make it out." "I'm glad you're okay!" she replies. You rush into the bathroom to get clean.<<else>> and rush inside. A very surprised Emma is staring back at you. She blinks and seems to come to her senses, her face flaring up as she covers her eyes and looks at the ground. "$name! I'm sorry I didn't--What happened?" "Things didn't go so great out there," you reply, covering yourself as you hastily dig through your dresser for some clothes. "Almost didn't make it back, but I'm fine." "I-I'm glad you're okay!" she says, flustered. You grab your towel and rush into the bathroom to get clean.<<set $emmaRelation2 to 1>><</if>><<else>> and step inside. "Oh, $name!" Emma says as you walk in. "Good timing, I was just about to see if Mallory wanted to-" She looks over at you and lets out something like a gasp as the words catch in her throat. "G-Gross!" she says, shrinking away from you as far as she can. "I mean, are you okay?" "Yeah, just ran into a little trouble out there," you reply, quickly throwing together a replacement outfit from your dresser.

You quickly throw together a replacement outfit, then grab your towel and head for the shower.<</if>> You get the water running in the shower and <<if $outfitState is "drenched">>start to strip down out of your ruined clothes.

Emma says.<<if $eatenByZoeyMulti>> "I can't believe you got swallowed again so quickly, I knew you shouldn't have gone back out there!" "Yeah, you were probably right," you say, hanging up your towel and sitting on your bed. Your stomach growls. "I'd love to just sleep away the rest of today, but... I'm starving" Emma says. "You think you're feeling up to getting dinner?" "Yeah, I could use some food," you reply.<<else>> "Feeling better," you reply, hanging up your towel and sitting on your bed. Your stomach growls. "You too, huh?" Emma says, noticing the sound. "I was actually just about to ask someone to get dinner with me when you came back, I'm //starving// all of a sudden. Are you up for it?" "Definitely, let's go," you reply.<</if>><<else>> You hang your towel back up and take a seat on your bed, only for your stomach to immediately growl.

Outside, Matilda and Maeve seem to have returned to their suite. After berating who you assume are the girls they mentioned earlier, Donna and Brit, for messing up some part of the room, Maeve leaves for the first time since you ended up in here. Matilda is laying back on something, gently massaging you and whatever's left of Kim through her gut. But then, she rises back onto her feet. "Alright freshie, you've squirmed nice and good for me, so I think I have a promise to keep," she says, her voice strained like she's stretching.<<elseif $turn is 1>>With a roar of defiance, you throw everything you can at the walls surrounding you. You push and squirm and kick, energized by your frustration and disgust at your situation. Your fight shakes her whole gut, eliciting all kinds of sloshing and other strange sounds from her stomach. Desperate as you are to finally be free, you have to stop and give your muscles a break. The shifting walls slide you a bit deeper. "Fuck yeah, that's what I'm talking about!" Matilda moans. "You know what freshie? You've done a real good job today," she says as you feel her rise to her feet.<<else>>You focus and take a deep breath, then give it one more shot. You push yourself past your limits, thrashing wildly against the tight walls. You keep going until you can't, and your energy is completely spent. Towards the end, you hear Matilda let out a little gasp. "Hah... You know what, that'll do it," she says, slapping her gut and rising to her feet.<</if>> "You ready to face the world again?" "Yes! Please, just let me go!" you shout. Your heart starts to race--it's almost over. "Aw don't be so eager, here I was thinking you liked me," she laughs as she walks somewhere. You hear a door click shut behind you. The intestinal walls suddenly crush down around you, squeezing your body so tight that you're completely immobilized. Slowly, you feel yourself start to slide forward, your feet retracing the path you took inch by inch. The process is agonizingly slow. "God, you really worked your way in deep, huh?" Matilda grunts, clearly straining. You haven't even made it back to the large intestine when she pauses, releasing the pressure and finally letting you breath again. She seems to change tactics when she starts again, as you find yourself instead surging forward in short bursts of intense pressure followed by a break. You feel your legs push back through the tight sphincter separating her intestines, then the rest of you. It's a little painful as your body is forced into strange positions, but luckily the closer you get to the exit the more effective Matilda's efforts seem to get. Soon enough, you feel your toes squeeze out of the slick tube of flesh and back into the outside world. Matilda takes a deep breath. With a heavy push, the rest of you is forced out of her colon and out into the cool air. She stops and waits when only your head remains inside her, wiggling her butt a little to taunt you. Then, finally, light graces your eyes again and you collapse onto the tile floor of her bathroom. Unfortunately, the first sight to greet your eyes is Matilda bent over in front of you, half naked and spreading her asscheeks wide. "Welcome back," she laughs, standing up straight again. "Almost as nice going out as you were coming in." You barely move at first. You were so cramped for so long that every inch of your body is stiff and sore. A thin layer of some sort of fluid coats your body, and your clothes are completely disheveled and fraying in a few places. You slowly struggle up onto your feet, leaning against the wall for support. "Let's do this again sometime," she says with a wicked grin. She takes a seat on the toilet. "And make sure you close the door behind you, some of your roommate wasn't far behind." You gag a little before throwing open the door. You step out into an unfamiliar hallway and slam the door shut. Luckily, it's a dead end to your left so the way out is clear. You rush around the corner, through the common area of their suite, and out the door. <<set $predAnalProficiency to 3>><<set $turn to 5>><<include "analEscapeEnd">>[[Return to your dorm->Matilda- Recovery]]

<<set $time to 17.25>><<include "TIME">>"You know what? You can forget getting out of there," Matilda says. "You've had all fucking day to make me feel good, but I've barely even noticed you. It's embarrassing. Enjoy this next part.~" "Wait no, what are you doing?" you say. "I'll struggle, I'll do whatever-" You're cut off as the walls squeeze in tight... and start to drag you in deeper. The walls hungrily shift and squeeze, pulling you slowly but surely toward your demise. You try to resist, pushing your arms out in a useless attempt to slow the process. "I'm doing what I probably should have done from the start," Matilda grunts. The gurgles and sloshing filling your ears intensify as you're forced further and further along her intestines. One more surge forward pushes you into a small puddle of hot, thick liquid. You squirm harder, more and more of the fluid surrounding you as you draw near your final destination. "Please, st-" You're cut off as your head is forced through a tight ring of muscle and into a dense, boiling soup on the other side. The rest of your body follows suit, squeezed out of her intestines and into her already flooded stomach. You push out with your arms and legs, holding your breath. To your horror, you can't find any surface to the liquid surrounding you. There is no air in here, just you and the disgusting slurry of stomach acid and what used to be Kim. "Aaah, there we go. Right where you belong," Matilda sighs. "And just as the other one was on her way out!" There's nothing you can do as the strength quickly drains from your body and the lack of oxygen causes you to pass out. You took a long road to get here, but this is how it ends. <<include "Life Lost">>

<<set $time to 19>><<include "TIME">><<set $leahHangout to true>><<if (($day2Hunt is "none") or $eatenByAlex) and !$day2Workout>>"Leah invited me over to hang out tonight, so I'm gonna head up to her dorm. I'll see you later!" you tell Emma as she's unlocking the door. "Oh, have fun!" she says with a smile. "And stay safe!" You wave goodbye and start to head down the hall toward the stairs.<<else>><<if $ateAlex>>Even if you have to lug your gut around, y<<else>>Y<</if>>ou're excited to see Leah again, there's no way you'd bail on her.<<if $ateAlex>> You just hope she won't mind the extra company.<</if>> You turn away from your door and head down the hall toward the stairs<</if>> Taking the stairs up to the second floor<<if $ateAlex>>, once again holding your belly to keep it from shaking quite so wildly,<</if>> you make your way back to room K224. After a brief moment of uncertainty that this is the right room, you knock on the door. There's no response, but you're pretty sure you can hear the sound of a tv, so you knock again, harder. The sound stops and you hear someone scurrying to the door. The door gently creaks open, Leah carefully peering out from behind it, looking confused. Her face immediately lights up when she sees it's you and the door swings open the rest of the way. She's no longer wearing her hoodie, instead sporting a large white t-shirt with the image of a girl from an anime across the front, stylized to only be colored in pastel pink and blue. At a glance it looks like she's not wearing any pants, but you can just barely see the lip of black shorts peeking out under the bottom of her shirt. Starting not far below them are a pair of long, green, striped socks. You catch yourself staring for a moment and quickly make sure you're looking her in the eyes instead. This is the first time you've seen her without such a baggy top, and <<if $sunnyRel > 0>>you suddenly understand what Sunny was talking about earlier; <</if>>even in a loose shirt, it's become evident that Leah is much more well-endowed than you'd realized. "$name, you actually came!" she says with a tone like a sigh of relief.<<if $ateAlex>> Then her eyebrows raise and her cheeks flush ever so slightly. "O-Oh you had a big dinner, huh?" She suddenly looks very uncomfortable. "Yeah, I picked someone off like right before coming here, I think I still felt a tiny bit of movement coming up the stairs," you reply, resting a hand on top your belly. "That's not gonna be a problem, is it?" you ask nervously. Your stomach lets out an odd gurgle. Leah purses her lips for a moment and stares down directly at your bloated gut, snapping out of it after a couple seconds. "No, no, of course not! Uh, come in," she says, hurrying into the room. You follow her, closing the door behind you. Your belly sloshes a little with every step.<<else>> "Of course I did!" you say with a smile. "I hope I'm not late." "No no, you're right on time," she says, smiling back. "Uh, come in!" You follow her into the room, closing the door behind you.<</if>> The basic layout is, of course, the same as yours: a bed on either side of the room with a tv on a table at the end of one and a closet on the other. The left side is quite obviously Leah's, with the bedding in disarray and an array of posters decorating the wall, while the right bed is set neatly and the wall is barren save a small whiteboard with a calendar on it. More obviously, the tv is facing directly toward the left bed, with two different consoles hooked up to it. It looks bigger and nicer than the one in your room, and it occurs to you for the first time that your tv may be something Emma brought rather than a feature of the room. On the screen are two characters, one halfway through swallowing the other, with a pause screen partially obscuring them. Leah sits at the end of the bed and picks up a controller that had been resting there. "Let me just finish this match real quick, I don't think she has enough health to get back out so it shouldn't take long," she says, unpausing the game. You sit next to her and watch<<if $ateAlex>>, the bed creaking a little under your weight<</if>>. The scene resumes, with the short, green skinned character that you assume is Leah finishing swallowing the other. Her opponent's health starts to drain and after a few seconds her character's belly begins to thrash and writhe. "Yeah she's done. So, uh, have you heard of this? It's called //Guts and Glory//," Leah says. On screen, her character's belly stops moving and she lets out a loud belch alongside a stylized "//GUTTED//" appearing on screen. Then it zooms in and proclaims that player one won, though her character looks rather bored with the whole affair. "Nope, I'm immediately interested though," you reply. "Ok! It is pretty new. So I don't know if you know //this//, but, over the years people online have been getting more and more frustrated that games like Mortal Kombat never include vore in any way, not even in fatalities for the female characters," she explains. "Uh, so recently this indie dev decided to take matters into their own hands and make a fighting game with it as a core mechanic. I'm really liking it so far, they really made it their own unique thing in more ways than just the eating and I'm //hooked//!" "Sweet, can't wait to play!" you say<<if $ateAlex>>, trying to get settled on the bed. As it is, you keep needing to readjust yourself as your gut hangs just off the edge, slowly dragging you forwards<</if>>. "Me either, I haven't had another player to face yet!" she says, getting up and plugging in a second controller.<<if $ateAlex>> She pauses before handing it to you, noticing your situation. "Um, are you comfortable like that?" "Oh I'm fine, just a little tough with this weight hanging off the edge," you say, needing to slide back again in the middle of answering. "H-Here I know, sit sideways and lean against the wall," she says, a flustered look on her face. She rests a pillow against the wall and you take her advice, sitting along the width of the bed with your upper back against the pillow, almost laying down. It's significantly more comfortable, with your bulging belly fully supported. "Well this is nice, but what are you gonna do?" you ask. A moment later a belch escapes your lips as Leah lightly drops down on top of you, her chest leaning against the top of your belly and her arms draped down the other side with controller in hand. You blush a little and cover your mouth. "There, it's like a beanbag chair!" she laughs, a look of pride on her face. Then it shifts to stress and her face gets red. "Um I... I mean if this is cool with you, sorry-" "No, I think this is perfect!" you say. The pressure of her against your gut was unpleasant at first, but after adjusting it's actually kind of nice.<<else>> She hands it to you with an eager look on her face, then sits back down next to you.<</if>> "<<if $ateAlex>>O-<</if>>Okay, so the basics are pretty much the same as any other fighting game," she explains<<if $ateAlex>>, looking like she feels a little awkward about her new position<</if>>. "Mobility's a much bigger factor though since being in close range at all is so dangerous, you'll see. Um, it'll be easier to show you the ropes from in a match, so let's pick characters. I'm a Shelby main, at least so far, but she's kind of a weird gimmicky character so I wouldn't recommend her to start with. I'll be Maja for now to make it a bit more fair, 'cause I don't really get how to play as her yet. Let's see... Anemone's a pretty solid all-rounder, um, Renael's also a straightforward one..." She's much more comfortable and confident now than the last few times you've talked, and it's nice to see her so excited. You pick the first character she suggested, some kind of fox girl wielding a fan. When the match starts up, she runs through the controls for you and kindly leaves you alone while you get a feel for things. She gives the round to you while explaining how the vore attacks work and how they can completely reverse the fight if used right, including finishing off your opponent in your gut resulting in an instant victory for the entire match on any round but the first. On the following rounds, even with a few pauses to re-explain things and supposedly using a character she doesn't understand well, Leah mops the floor with you. Nonetheless, you become very invested right away, and after a few more matches you're starting to get the hang of it. Even with Leah very obviously messing around and testing out new or silly strategies rather than giving it her all, yet still winning, you're really having fun with it. After an hour or so you start to be able to put up a decent fight, and that's when the trash talk starts and you both really get into it. It's a blast, and you're excited to see Leah acting so confident and outgoing. "Hold on, quick break," Leah says, <<if $ateAlex>>dismounting your belly and sliding off the bed<<else>>putting her controller down and getting on her feet<</if>>. "Oh, running away just as I'm getting good?" you tease. You'd just finished the first match where you won a round without her throwing it in any way. "Ha! Like I couldn't beat you one handed," she laughs. "I'm getting snacks!" She grabs two bags of flavored chips out of the closet and tosses them onto the bed. "<<if $ateAlex>>I'm guessing you're not really hungry, but d<<else>>D<</if>>o you want some soda? I got a lot in my fridge." "Yeah, I'll take something to drink," you reply. After making your choice from her selection, she hands you a can<<if $ateAlex>> and returns to her position, laying forward a bit more this time so she can reach to put her soda on the table<<else>> and sits back down next to you with her own drink in hand<</if>>. There's only a brief break before you get right back to it. Not long after you restart, however, you hear the sound of someone unlocking the door. Leah pauses the game and you both turn your heads back to find Mallory entering the room. "<<if $ateAlex>>Oh I'm sorry, am I interrupting something?" she says with a little grin. She seems amused at the sight in front of her--Leah bent over your belly, butt in the air and face just barely peeking out at her from behind the bulge. "We're just-" Leah starts to blurt out. "No need to explain darling, just carry on! I'm just going to do a bit of reading before bed, ignore me," Mallory says, taking a seat on her bed. She stays true to her word and flips through a book without a word while the two of you resume your battle, though you catch her glancing your way with a curious look in her eye a few times.<<else>>Well hello! I wasn't expecting to have company still," she says, walking toward the bed. "<<if (($day2Hunt is not "none") and ($eatenByAlex is false)) or $day2Workout>>Emma will be delighted to find out you're still alright, $name, she was worried<<if $emmaRel > 3>> sick<</if>> at dinner. <</if>>What are you two up to?" "Oh hey Mal. We're playing Guts and Glory, it's a vore fighting game," Leah explains, taking the opportunity to grab a handful of chips. "I do hope you're planning on cleaning this up dear," Mallory says, something like a pout on her face as she eyes the chips on the bed and the small collection of empty soda cans. "Yeah, yeah, of course," Leah replies. "When we're done." "Thank you," she says, tossing the empty cans away on her own anyway. Then she takes a seat on Leah's bed behind the two of you. "So how's this game work?" "Oh, um, it's pretty standard fighter stuff--you beat each other up, best two out of three wins. Um, except this one also lets you swallow your opponent," Leah explains. In an instant she's reverted back to being nervous. You notice that Mallory is practically leaning against her back she's sitting so close, and Leah's cheeks are bright red. "Interesting," Mallory says. "Who's who?" "We're actually both playing Anemone right now, I'm the black one and, uh, $name's the blue one." You start up the next match with Mallory as your audience. She keeps chiming in with questions or bits of commentary, clearly trying to show interest but not quite getting it. Leah looks like she's sweating and isn't doing nearly as well as she had been. "Why is she allowed to hit you so many times in a row? That hardly seems fair," Mallory asks. "It's called a combo, if she'd messed up I could have eaten her, but she's doing good so the risk paid off," Leah explains. "Flattery won't save your ass!" you tease. With her off her game it ends up being very close, but Leah takes the match with a digestion finisher. Leah gives you a very smug look, then jumps a little as Mallory pats her on the back. "Good job Leah, I was worried there for a second!" she laughs. "Sorry for interrupting, I'll leave you two to it. I'll be going to bed soon so just try to keep it down please, alright?" She moves over to her own bed and pulls out a book to read. Leah seems to breathe a sigh of relief.<</if>> Free from further interruptions, your endless battle against Leah continues. After a few more matches it finally happens--you pull out a win in the tiebreaker round, netting your first full victory of the night. You get a little too smug about it, however, and in the next match Leah switches back to the character she was using when you first walked in and absolutely demolishes you. Evidently, she had still been holding back up till now. You lose track of time as you both get lost in the competition, your only real reminder that it's getting late being when you have to turn down the volume and start whispering because Mallory went to sleep. <<if $ateAlex>>Leah has had to readjust herself over the course of the night, your gut shrinking beneath her from time and a few bathroom breaks.<</if>>Eventually your eyes start to feel strained and you think to check the time between matches: It's nearly two AM. Considering you have class at nine thirty tomorrow, you decide it's time to call it a night. Though you did manage to eek out one more win, you can't even recall how many Leah had so she's the clear victor of the night. "Thanks for inviting me over, this was a blast!" you whisper to Leah as you help her deal with the aftermath of your snacking. "Thanks for coming! I haven't had this much fun in a while," she replies with a smile.<<if $ateAlex>> "And your belly was actually really comfy," she adds in an even quieter voice. "I'll make sure to stuff your cushion again next time then," you tease. Her eyes widen a bit and she looks away for a few seconds. "Um, so, have a good night!" she says quickly.<<else>> "We should play again sometimes soon, if you're not tired of getting thrashed." "Oh you just had a headstart, you're going //down// next time," you reply. "I look forward to it," she says with a smirk. "Have a good night!"<</if>> <<Leah 1>> [[Turn in for the night->September 2nd- End of Day]]

<<set $time to 17.5>><<include "TIME">>You stumble up the stairs to your left and then down the hall. There aren't many people around, but you pass a few girls on their way back from the dining hall that scrunch up their faces and keep their distance when you cross paths. You make your way around the bend, across the bridge, and back down the stairs to finally arrive at the door to your dorm. Breathing a sigh of relief when you find you still have your key on you, you carefully unlock the door and step inside. Emma isn't inside, but you don't really pay it any thought right now as you make a beeline for the bathroom, grabbing your towel along the way. You start running the water in the shower and tear off your clothes. They smell absolutely disgusting, to the point that you aren't sure any amount of washing is going to fix it. <<if $outfit is "uniform">>Figuring you can just get a new uniform later<<set $wardrobeUniform to false>><<else>>Not nearly invested in this outfit enough to try<</if>>, you toss it in the garbage and step into the stream of water. You take your time in the shower, letting the warm water soothe your aching muscles and wash away the stain of Matilda's guts. The whole bathroom smells like lavender by the time you finish soaping up, using probably a third of the bottle to scrub yourself clean. The water has grown cold by the time you finally decide to get out and dry off. With a towel wrapped tight around you, you return to the main room and find Emma staring back at you from her bed. "Oh my god $name!<<if $emmaRel > 1>> I'm so glad you're okay! <<if $emmaRel > 2>>I was afraid...<</if>><</if>> What on Earth happened to you!?" she says, racing through her words. "I haven't seen you since this morning, you weren't at class..." "Seniors..." you mumble, giving a vacant stare as you grab your pajamas out of the dresser. "Oh god, what did they do to you?" she yelps. "Uh, go head and get changed first, sorry..." You return to the bathroom and quickly throw on your clothes, then step back into the room and sit on your bed. "Emma, it was awful, disgusting... I'm glad you made it through the day alright."<<set $outfit to "pjs">><<set $outfitState to "normal">> "Do you want to talk about it or should I drop it?" <<if $emmaRel > 2>>"It was on the way to my first class, I ran into this huge readhead..." you start to explain. "I was already worried, but I wasn't ready for... she shoved me up her ass, right there in the middle of the hall..." "What!?" Emma gasps. "That's horrible!" "That's were I spent the rest of the day, just slowly sliding through her guts... <<if $maeveSisterRelation is 2>>Luckily there was another girl with her, Maeve, that seemed like she was in charge. I'd met her sister yesterday, and she was eventually able to get me out...<<else>>I guess I did a good job 'making her feel good', so she eventually let me back out...<</if>>" "I'm so sorry! I can't even imagine having to go through that. What an introduction to the school..." Emma says, a worried expression on her face. "Hey, at least I'm alive," you say a bit dryly.<<else>>"I... don't really wanna talk about it. I'm alive, at least, and that's all that really matters," you say.<</if>> Your stomach lets out a loud groan and you clutch it with one hand. You haven't eaten anything since breakfast. "I just got back from the dining hall, but we can-" Emma starts to say. "No, I'm hungry but I don't have much of an appetite. I'd rather just get this day over with," you reply. "Are you sure?" "Yeah, I'll just have a big breakfast," you say. Your stomach grumbles again in disagreement, but you've already made up your mind. [[Call it a night->September 2nd- End of Day]]

<<set $time to 16.75>><<include "TIME">><<set $maeveSisterRelation to 2>><<set $predAnalProficiency to 3>><<set $turn to 5>>It feels like you've been inside Matilda for an eternity. The thought of the classes you've missed, the way the day was supposed to go, drowned out by the neverending sounds of the digestive tract you're trapped in. You know you've slipped even deeper in by now, but at this point you have no concept of where you even are in her body. Just that you're surrounded by nothing but her disgusting guts. Kim stopped moving a long time ago, her protests and struggles replaced by sloshing and burbling. You're just grateful nothing from her stomach has come your way yet. You wonder how Emma's doing<<if $emmaRel > 2>>, and if she's worried about you<<else>> on her own<</if>>. <<if $walkEmma>>You just vanished after walking her to class, you can't imagine what she must be thinking<<elseif $emmaRel > 1>>You pray that she hasn't had to face anything even close to this<<else>>You may not have a roommate to return to even if you do make it out of this<</if>>. You know you can't let it end like this... but at this point, your fate rests in Sam's hands. Luckily, it seems like this is almost over, one way or another. Maeve and Matilda have returned to their suite, and supposedly Sam is on her way. There was a terrible moment where Matilda seemed to contemplate having some "personal time" in her room, but otherwise the past hour or so has been uneventful. You hear a faint knocking sound. "Looks like our time's up, freshie," Matilda says, getting to her feet. "Hey, I heard some chump was looking for me?" a familiar voice asks from somewhere ahead of you. "Sammy! Good to see you're living up to the Mckenn legacy," Maeve says, her tone less sharp than it's been the rest of the day. "Well, I'd hate to make you look bad. Scooped up one of the sophomores before coming down," Sam laughs. "This is gonna be so great living on campus together! How the hell have you been? Looks like you had some fun today. Tils, is that one still alive?" "Hey, we talked about 'Tils' brat!" Matilda snaps. "Aw c'mon, it's-" "Sam, don't call her Tils," Maeve cuts in. "Yeah, okay," Sam replies, the sass completely drained from her voice. "But Matilda's guest here is actually part of the reason I invited you. Do you know a '$name'?" Maeve asks. "Maybe? You know how I am with names, but I hung out with this girl yesterday that definitely started with <<print $name[0]>>- at least. Why?" Sam replies. "...oh." "SAM! GET ME OUT OF HERE!" you shout, beginning to fight against the walls surrounding you again. "Oh boy yeah that's her in there," Sam says. You feel a poke somewhere around your shoulder. "Is she, uh..." "She's somewhere in Matilda's small intestine by now I'm sure," Maeve sighs. "She said you were friends, you want her back?" "Well, I mean 'friends' is a little presumptuous after one day," Sam snickers. "SAM NOW IS //NOT// THE TIME!" you cry. "Right, right, I'm kidding. Uh, yes, please let her out," she says. "Fiiine," Matilda sighs. Her body shifts a little around you. "In the //bathroom// you fuck!" Maeve growls, accompanied by a dull //*thump*// above you. You can hear Sam laughing. "Alright, alright!" Matilda laughs. You feel the bouncing of her footsteps, then the click of a door closing behind you, and breath a sigh of relief. It's almost over. "Well, rides over pal. Hope you had as much fun as I did~" she sneers. "Gotta say, I'm a little sad you actually knew Sammy." "Just let me go!" you plead. "Yeah yeah," she grumbles. "Hope you're ready!" The intestinal walls suddenly crush down around you, squeezing your body so tight that you're completely immobilized. Slowly, you feel yourself start to slide forward, your feet retracing the path you took inch by inch. The process is agonizingly slow. "God, you really worked your way in deep, huh?" Matilda grunts, clearly straining. You haven't even made it back to the large intestine when she pauses, releasing the pressure and finally letting you breath again. She seems to change tactics when she starts again, as you find yourself instead surging forward in short bursts of intense pressure followed by a break. You feel your legs push back through the tight sphincter separating her intestines, then the rest of you. It's a little painful as your body is forced into strange positions, but luckily the closer you get to the exit the more effective Matilda's efforts seem to get. Soon enough, you feel your toes squeeze out of the slick tube of flesh and back into the outside world. Matilda takes a deep breath. With a heavy push, the rest of you is forced out of her colon and out into the cool air. She stops and waits when only your head remains inside her, wiggling her butt a little to taunt you. Then, finally, light graces your eyes again and you collapse onto the tile floor of her bathroom. Unfortunately, the first sight to greet your eyes is Matilda bent over in front of you, half naked and spreading her asscheeks wide. "Welcome back," she laughs, standing up straight again. "Almost as nice going out as you were coming in." You barely move at first. You were so cramped for so long that every inch of your body is stiff and sore. A thin layer of some sort of fluid coats your body, and your clothes are completely disheveled and fraying in a few places. You slowly struggle up onto your feet, leaning against the wall for support. "Let's do this again sometime," she says with a wicked grin. She takes a seat on the toilet. "And make sure you close the door behind you, some of your roommate wasn't far behind." You gag a little before throwing open the door. Following the sound of Sam's voice, you head down a short hallway and step back into the main room. Sam is sitting on a couch, massaging a smooth, bloated belly, with her sister pacing around talking to her. "Wow, you look awful $name," Sam says with a grin. "I've been //up someone's ass// for half the fucking day. I //feel// awful, Sam!" you reply, coughing a little at the end. "Get out, door's right there," Maeve grunts, pointing to the exit. This is your first time actually seeing her, and the resemblance between the two is clear. Same hair color, very similar faces, even pretty much the same pattern of freckles. She's shorter than you'd been picturing her, with a gut nearly the same size as her ballooning out from her midriff. "Uh, I'll talk to you tomorrow," Sam says. "Yeah..." you mumble, heading straight for the door. You step into the hall and slam it behind you. You take a deep breath--finally free. But also in dire need of a shower. <<include "analEscapeEnd">>[[Return to your dorm->Matilda- Recovery]]

<<switch $stage>><> <><<case 1>>"I could ask you the same question," you say with a slight smirk as you reach the edge of the pool. You slide off your socks and shoes and join her with your feet in the water. It's a bit cold, but refreshing. "Fair enough," she shrugs. She seems to relax, not seeing you as any kind of threat. Her stomach is filling the room with all kinds of gurgling noises, and an occasional muffled sound that must be the girl inside trying to talk. "//*urp*// You scared me when you came in, thought it was the cleaning lady," she says as she massages her gut. "Nah, I didn't see any sign of anyone else on my way in," you reassure her.<> <><<case 2>>The shifting bulges of her stomach are almost mesmerizing, and it's quite obvious that you're staring. "She wasn't very bright, was she?" you ask, gesturing towards her gut. "Haha, I know right?" she laughs. "I mean, it was so //*urp*// fucking obvious what I was planning when I brought her all the way in here." Two large bulges suddenly press out from either side of her stomach, causing Sam to groan and double over a bit. "HEY, I TRUSTED YOU JERK! Who else is there!? HELP ME!" the other girl shouts from inside Sam, talking loud enough for you to hear for the first time. You lean in towards the pale orb of flesh to answer her.<> <><<case 3>>"Hah, as if. You're just food now honey, settle in," you taunt. Sam gets a big grin on her face at your response, but then winces as her prey starts to thrash around in frustration. "Looks like she's giving you a bit of trouble, want some help?" you offer. Sam smiles and pulls her left leg out of the pool, sliding it to the side across the tiles so that her belly is facing you. "Be my guest." You scoot a little bit closer and gently place your hands on her gut. The flesh is soft and warm, and you can easily make out the form of the girl inside. You start to slowly rub your hands rhythmically around it, applying a bit of extra pressure whenever you feel the girl inside acting up. Sam leans back in satisfaction, using her arms to support herself. She's blushing a little bit. "Mmm, that's nice. Thanks." "No problem, I hate unruly prey," you say, continuing your massage. "So, what's your story?" she asks "Like, why'd you decide to come to MVA." "Vore's pretty much the only thing I'm any good at," you joke, "I figured I might as well take it all the way." "Ha, I guess that's fair enough. I'm kinda following in my sister's footsteps, she's a senior here.<<set $samInfo1 to 1>> Plus, I //love// eating people, a stuffed, squirming gut is one of the best feelings in the world," she says, deliberately pushing out a burp to taunt the girl still struggling in her stomach. "I once got expelled from high school for eating one of the teachers."<<set $samInfo2 to 1>> "Holy shit, no way!" "Mm-hmm," she nods, "it was a great day. He totally had it coming too." The two of you keep chatting away for a while, talking about hobbies and past vore-related escapades. You keep massaging her squirming belly while you talk, feeling it slowly get softer until you can't really really make out any definite shape beneath the skin. "I'm pretty sure whoever that girl was is gone," you say, moving your hands back to your side. "Let me check" Sam says. She tenses all of her stomach muscles, shrinking and squeezing her massive gut. A gross, squelching //*crack*// sound comes from her stomach, followed by a massive belch. "//*OOORP*// Oooh yeah, she's done," she giggles. With whatever's left inside compacted, her stomach stays at a somewhat smaller size. <<Sam 1>> "Guess we should probably go check in now, we don't wanna be too late," she says. <<replace "#choices">>[["Yeah, lets get out of here"->Off Course- Leave With Sam]]<</replace>><> <><<case 4>>"Uh, sorry, but I don't think there's much I can really do for you now," you tell the girl, being semi-genuine.

The girl cries out in desperation. "Alright that's enough out of you," Sam cuts in, clenching her stomach muscles down on the girl as hard as she can for a few seconds. When she relieves the pressure you can see the girl continue to thrash around, but she doesn't talk again. "Glad I got to her so soon, with an attitude like that she would've been off the menu by the end of the day." "Yeah really, I heard you guys talking from outside and I already had her pegged as the one I was gonna eat if you hadn't beaten me to it," you say. Sam squints at you. "Oh so you were eavesdropping huh? Figured you were on the hunt," she says with a frown. "Alright fine you got me," you say, "but what's the big deal? You were basically doing the same thing, just with much stupider prey." "I guess..."

"She hadn't even checked in as an official student yet, I don't think it's against any rules. Besides, with how clueless this moron was she only would have lasted a few more hours tops if I hadn't gotten her," she says defensively. "HEY, I TRUSTED YOU JERK! Who else is there!?

Why don't you stick around a bit longer and I'll see if I can fit you in here too once she's a bit squishier?" she says. You consider threatening her back, but you definitely couldn't eat her with that gut she's sporting and there's no time to wait for it to shrink--you've still got to check in! But you've made things awkward now, so there's no point in sticking around at the pool. "Whatever, I guess I'll see you at orientation," you say as you get up and put your shoes back on, holding back an insult to avoid completely burning this bridge. <<Sam -1>> <<replace "#choices">>[[Head back to the main square->September 1st- Arrival]]<</replace>><> <><<case 7>>"Uh, sorry, but I don't think there's much I can really do for you now," you tell the girl, being semi-genuine.

Unable to pass up the opportunity, you lunge at Anita, the closer and weaker looking of the two. Grabbing her from behind, you shove her head into your mouth as she screams in surprise. Unfortunately, you haven't even made it past her nose when she pushes herself forward with her legs, throwing both of you into the pool and making you lose your hold on her. @@color:orange;Your strength fails you.@@ "<<print $name.toUpperCase()>> WHAT THE HECK! I didn't even do anything, but you'd try to eat me!? I even have a friend //right next to me//, how did you think that would work!?" Anita cries angrily as she lifts herself out of the water and back onto the edge of the pool. You stay standing in the pool, wary that she'll try to return the favor, when the dark haired girl chimes in. "Yeah really $name, that was kinda pathetic. You gotta do it more like this." "Wha-" Anita gets cut off as the dark haired girl pulls her back away from the pool and shoves her head into her mouth. She starts to squirm and kick, but the girl has her arms held firm and continues to gulp her down bit by bit. With the two of them occupied, you decide it's safe to get out of the water, hoisting yourself onto the side wall. Confident she can't fit two people in her gut, you decide to stick around, watching her finish off your would-be meal as you wring out your hair. "//*urp*// And that's how you do it~" the girl purrs, slowly getting back onto her feet and waddling back to sit by the pool with you. "She should have been mine //from the start//, it's the whole reason I brought her out here. But watching you get straight up judo flipped into the pool was hilarious so we're even," she laughs. "WHAT SAM!? I thought we were really hitting it off!" comes Anita's muffled voice from within Sam's shifting gut. "Get me out of here!" "Heh, and here I thought you two were besties or something," you say, your clothes still drenched. "Glad I could entertain I guess." "UGH I can't believe everyone at this school is such a jerk!" Anita cries out, starting to thrash around hard in Sam's gut. You see her wince as a particularly large bulge pushes out from the top of her distended belly. "Looks like she's giving you a bit of trouble, want some help?" you offer. "It's the least I can do after almost stealing your prey." Sam smiles and pulls her left leg out of the pool, sliding it to the side across the tiles so that her belly is facing you. "Be my guest." You scoot a little bit closer and gently place your hands on her gut. The flesh is soft and warm, and you can easily make out the form of the girl inside.

You give her a pouty look and briefly stop your massage. "Hey easy, I'm just kidding," she says with a smirk. "She probably would've done the same thing to me if I'd tried while she was sitting like that." Satisfied, you return to your efforts. "For me," she says, continuing with the topic she brought up, "I'm kinda following in my sister's footsteps, she's a senior here.<<set $samInfo1 to 1>> Plus, I //love// eating people, a stuffed, squirming gut is one of the best feelings in the world" she says, deliberately pushing out a burp to taunt the girl still struggling in her stomach.

<<if $outfitState is "gone">>You hurry over to the doors of the main hall, frantically looking around, paranoid that someone might be watching you. You freeze for a moment before taking a deep breath and stepping into the building, marching right up to the front desk.

She looks up from her computer, only to immediately avert her eyes to the side when she notices your situation. <<else>>With no time to waste you rush into the main hall<<if $totalEscaped > 0>>, only stopping briefly to wash off your hands and arms in the fountain<</if>>.

<<switch $stage>><> <><<case 1>>"Hell yeah!" you say, joining her excitement. You're not 100% sure that you can keep up with her energy, but the last thing you want at a //vore// academy is a roommate that doesn't like you. "Omigod this is great! Alright tell me everything about yourself: what's your favorite color? Who's your favorite band? Oh! Duh, we're at MVA, here's a good one--how many people have you eaten?" she babbles, giving you a curious look after settling on that last question.<> <><<case 2>>"Honestly? It's hard to keep track at this point. I got kicked off my high school volleyball team halfway through the season after they found out I was the reason our rival school didn't have enough players to compete anymore," you boast. That story may have been a bit embellished. "Woah, seriously?" Emma says, her eyes going wide. "You're, uh, the real deal then, huh? //I've// only eaten maybe ten or so that I remember, mostly dares and a few creeps that really deserved it. Actually, if you can believe it, my first time was this girl that someone at a party dared to crawl down my throat!" She's being quite candid, but you're really taking a liking to her, like her energy is infectious. "Damn, willing prey for your first meal? Doesn't get much better than that." "I don't know, it was pretty weird! But look where I ended up after that experience!" she stretches her arms out for emphasis, causing one of the straps of her tank top to fall down over her shoulder. "That's not even the craziest thing that's happened to me at a party--just this past summer there was this one time we couldn't find a bowl or a bucket or anything so we used my friend Allie to mix up our jungle juice and just dipped in and out of her when we wanted a hit. I'm pretty sure I went all the way through her at one point and she almost died from all the alcohol, it was wild!" "Woah, I've never partied *that* hard before," you say. You weren't the most popular in high school, and you've only been drunk a few times--Emma's on a whole other level. "Oh don't worry! 'Soon as I'm settled in imma get to work burning this campus to the ground," she laughs. "And what kind of roomie would I be if I didn't get you in on the action?" she says with a grin. You smile back--it seems like you may have lucked out on your roommate selection, the two of you are really hitting it off. You continue chatting with her for a while, talking about your interests--she gets stuck rambling for a bit about how much she loves the color blue--and what your hopes are for the school year. <<Emma 2>><> <><<case 3>>"Honestly? Not that many. Only maybe six or seven by now? I only really got into it towards the end of my Junior year in high school," you say a bit sheepishly. "Pfft, //only// six or seven huh? How did you even get in?" Emma replies, almost seeming to let out a sigh of relief. You give her a blank stare before trying to defend yourself. "Hey! I'll have you know they kicked me off the volleyball team back at my old school because I ate the assistant coach--and she was a foot taller than me!" "Haha relax, I was just kidding!" she giggles. "I mean I'm at pretty much the same--that I remember eating anyways. I've woken up with some mysterious new pudge after a wild night more than once." "Bit of a party girl, are you?" "Hell yeah! Are you not!?" she replies. "Well, I don't really get invited to many..." you admit. "Wait really? You seem awesome though! Don't you worry, 'soon as I'm settled in imma get to work burning this campus to the ground," she laughs. "And what kind of roomie would I be if I didn't get you in on the action?" she says with a grin. You smile back--it seems like you may have lucked out on your roommate selection, the two of you are really hitting it off.

"O-Oh, right, sorry. I just get really excited sometimes," Emma replies, blushing a bit in embarrassment. "Here, let's get to know each other then! What's your favorite color?" "Definitely $fcolor" you tell her. "You?" "BLUE!" she shouts. "1000% blue! It's just such a perfect color, I can't get enough of it! Think about it, everything beautiful is blue--the sea, the sky, my eyes. Plus its the best flavor of any kind of candy!" she rambles. She's getting excited again, but this time it's a bit more endearing. You get the feeling she'll make for a fun roommate, if maybe a bit draining. Despite the awkward start to the conversation, the two of you continue chatting for a while and really start to hit it off. <<Emma 1>><</switch>>

@@color:rebeccapurple;''September 2nd''@@ ---- You wake up to the sound of an unfamiliar alarm; a loud, repeated tune played on chimes. You stretch up into a sitting position, your eyes still mostly closed, and check your phone. Eight o'clock, half an hour before you planned on getting up, and sure enough it isn't your alarm that's going off. Actually, it doesn't look like you set one at all--whoops. You look across the room at Emma, who's only just started to stir in her bed. She blindly reaches out an arm and probes the nightstand for her phone, finally sitting up a bit to put an end to the noise once she finds it.

<<set $time to 8.75>><<include "TIME">>You and Emma head out of your room and off toward the dining hall. Remembering from the tour that all of the upperclassmen live in Lampton and would probably be moving into their dorms about now, you decide to go through the main hall and outside to get there rather than using the bridge connecting the two buildings. Luckily you only see one other person on your way there--a redhead with a bloated belly lounging on one of the courtyard benches that doesn't even acknowledge you--and arrive without issue. The hall is less crowded than it was at lunch the other day, and most of the girls are unfamiliar to you. "Huh... maybe we should have just snacked in our room..." Emma mumbles nervously<<if $emmaRel > 3>>, lightly grabbing your arm<</if>>. "Hey, it's not like we can just hide in our room forever, we'll be fine," you reassure her. "Plus, didn't Juniper say they pretty much never have incidents in the dining hall?" "Yeah..." The two of you head up to the buffet line to get your food. They've got three different kinds of pancakes, an assortment of fruit, and a tray of scrambled eggs available today. There's a girl that's just finishing up serving herself a plate when you and Emma approach--a somewhat short blonde wearing sunglasses. She gives you a toothy smile when she turns to go sit down. You and Emma hurry through getting your food and find an empty table at the edge of the room, sitting next to each other with your backs to the wall. "God, this is gonna be a stressful day... I feel like everyone's watching us," Emma says as she sets her plate down. "Yeah I know what you mean, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for whoever that was in front of us," you reply, scanning the room. "But I'm sure if we just act confident and stay on our guard everything will be fine. Plus at least for now we can watch each other's backs." "That's true," she says, smiling. "What's your schedule like for today? I hope we have at least some classes together." "Let's see, I've got Intro to Vore at ten an-" "Shoot, I don't have that till Wednesday, and I've got Anatomy and Physiology at nine thirty today..." Emma pouts. "Oh sorry, continue." "And Escapism at two," you finish. "Ooo same! We must be in the same section!" she says excitedly. "That's one at least. Hmm but we will have to split up after breakfast..." As Emma trails off someone approaches the table you're sitting at and you tense up. \<<if ($cookoutGabby is false) and ($lockerChandra is "none")>>It's a chubby girl with brown hair. <<if $lunchEmma>>\ She looks vaguely familiar, so you assume it's probably another freshman and relax a little. Luckily, Emma bails you out on remembering who it is. "Hey Gabby! How have you been?" she says cheerfully as the girl takes a seat across from you. The name jogs your memory--this is one of the girls from lunch yesterday. "I'm alright, I... Oh yeah uh, hi guys. It's Emma and... $name? Right?" she says. It looks like she's sweating. "Yep, nice to see you again. You look nervous," you say, starting to dig into your food. "They called today a //massacre//, of course I'm... I'm nervous," she answers. "I'm so glad I found you two, I thought I was gonna have to sit alone..." she adds with a shiver. She starts to wolf down the large stack of pancakes she has on her plate. "Yeah, we can all look after each other!" Emma says with a smile. "I'm nervous too, but $name's right, you just gotta try and relax. Calling it the "Monday Massacre" is probably just a way to have a little fun spooking the freshman, I'm sure it's not that bad." "Maybe..." Gabby says, not sounding convinced. You're amazed at how quickly she's tearing through the food on her plate. "What's your roommate like?" you ask, changing the subject. "I don't have one..." she replies quietly, finishing off the last of her pancakes already. "'Chandra' never showed up yesterday... is that even a real name?" "Oh, I'm sorry!" Emma says. "At least you have the room to yourself I guess," you offer.

"Don't worry, we're all a little nervous today, but we can watch each other's backs!"

The girl makes short work of it, effortlessly gliding down Gabby's body and keeping her arms pinned tight. Once she's passed her breasts she lifts the poor girl up, sending her flailing legs overhead as she lets gravity finish the job.\ <<else>>/* if $cookoutGabby is true */\ It's a very squirrely looking girl with black hair. With how nervous she looks you figure she's probably another freshman and relax a little. "Oh man am I glad I spotted some other freshman I thought I was gonna have to sit alone and I'd be as good as dead," she says, rushing through her words. She sits across from you. "My name's Pat by the way we haven't met but I remember you guys from the tour." "Uh, hey, I'm $name," you say. You notice that she doesn't have any food. "I'm Emma, nice to meet you!" Emma chirps. "Don't worry, we're all a little nervous today, but we can watch each other's backs!" "Tell me about it I feel like I jumped into a shark tank coming in here it's like everyone's eyeing me like another one of their pancakes." The words tumble out of her mouth and you can see her frantically looking around the room. Her worry doesn't do her any good however--a moment later her head is engulfed by another. There was no opportunity for you to warn her, only noticing that the girl was passing unusually close to your table a split second before she made her move. You watch helplessly, frozen from the suddenness of it, as Pat squirms beneath the other girl, grasping at her head and even throwing herself out of her chair. Her predator is unphased, following her to the ground without missing a beat. After a brief moment of not being able to see them through the table ahead of you, the attacker stands back up with the poor girl's legs flailing overhead, letting gravity finish the job.\ <</if>>/* ends the $cookoutGabby variation */\ After less than a minute it's over, the girl taking a seat across from you with a hand on her chest as the last bulge of _sunnyPrey disappears into her stomach.

Sam grumbles, storming off toward what looks like the only empty table. <<Sam -1>> You head over to the buffet line at the front of the room. Laid out for the students is a wide variety of sandwiches, a few different kinds of pasta, and a salad bar. You're late enough that most of the stations are looking pretty barren, and there's only one other girl getting food. Judging by her mildly distended belly and plate stacked with pretty much every remaining sandwich, this isn't her first trip.

<<set $time to 17.5>><<include "TIME">>You step back out into the courtyard to find it bustling with activity. The area around the central fountain is filled with extra benches and picnic tables, and off on the Lampton side of things you can see a grill with a table filled with food next to it. Right in the middle of the walkway ahead of you is a table with a big sign saying "Club Signup" hanging off it. There are additional signs planted in the grass trying to draw your attention to it as well. They clearly //really// want students to get involved with a club. You head over to the table to take a look at what they have to offer. Working the station is a vaguely asian looking girl with her hair in a long ponytail. She doesn't look much older than you and has pretty casual clothes on. "Hey there, welcome to MVA! My name's Kim and I'm here to help you find the club that's right for you! Or answer any questions you have about the campus really," the girl says with a big smile on her face as you approach . "You can go ahead and take a look at the list on the table there. Once you've made your choice, or if you have questions about any of them, let me know!" You look over the sheet of paper, reading through the surprisingly small selection of clubs available--there's only six. Three of them look like they might be interesting to you. \ \<<linkreplace "Are you a student here? ">>\ <<append "#text">> "Are you a student here?" you ask. She really doesn't come off like a faculty member, but they said upperclassmen weren't on campus yet. "Yup! 4th year," she beams. "Oh, I thought you didn't move in until tomorrow?" you say. "Haha that's right, they tell you all about the 'Monday Massacre' right? Don't worry, you don't have to be afraid of me," she says with a smile. "They allow a couple trustworthy Juniors and Seniors to come early to help with Freshman move in. I assume you didn't have Miranda in your hall for dorm check-in?" "Nope." "Well she's a junior that's hanging around here somewhere too. We're some of the only upperclassmen with clean enough records for the school to trust not to pick off random Freshmen.

You pry her jaw open from the inside and she finally relents, letting her stomach rid itself of you. Your body rapidly pushes out of hers alongside a chorus of gross squelching and choking sounds. Unfortunately, because of her position you're thrown directly into the icy water of the pool. You resurface as quickly as you can, gasping for your first breath of fresh air in a long time.

She's started to doodle something in the corner of the whiteboard, oblivious to the fact that she wasn't the only one to stick around. "What, you want to draw on the--Oh! You want to..." she replies, getting the message. She looks between you and the girl for a moment, biting her lip, before clearing her throat a little and grinning. "Nabbing someone on your first day will do wonders for your reputation! Don't worry I'll back you up girl," she whispers, creeping over towards the brunette. You're not quite sure what her plan is, but you sneak around towards the other end of the desk to box the girl in. Emma moves up to her right side and places one of her arms around the girl's shoulder. "Hey there, I'm Emma! Whatcha drawing?" she chirps. The girl jumps back in surprise, almost dropping her marker. "O-Oh hi, I'm just doing some random doodles, I saw this marker sitting here and thought it would be more fun than the tour," the girl explains. She suddenly whips her head to the left, noticing that there's not one, but two other girls with her. Her eyes go wide and panic starts to pale her face. She tries to shuffle away from Emma, but she just grips the girl's shoulder harder and pulls her back. "Cool, it looks kinda like a dragon!" Emma says excitedly, ignoring the girl's resistance. "So what's your name?" "U-Um it's uh M-Mandy..." she responds, starting to sweat as you close in from the left. "Um y'know I th-think I should probably get back to the t-tour actually now that I-" "Oh nonsense, this is way more interesting! Where did you get that marker from?" Emma says. It seems like she's starting to take genuine interest in the drawing, so you loudly clear your throat to remind her what you're doing. "Oh right, have you met my friend $name?" she says after glancing your way, pulling back on Mandy's shoulder to turn her toward you. "H-Hi..." she whimpers, Emma now holding her other shoulder with her free hand. "P-Please don't," she pleads weakly, correctly reading the situation. "Heh, sorry Mandy, I already made up my mind," you say, patting your stomach and giving her a look of faux pity. Without wasting another moment you lunge forward, Emma hugging her tight to lock down her arms as your lips start to pass over her head. "STOP! HE-//mmph//!" Mandy tries to scream, but gets cut off as her mouth enters into yours. Her skin has a salty tang to it, a more pleasant flavor than you had expected. You take your first mighty gulp, pushing her head into your throat and bringing your lips down over most of her neck. "Uh, how's she taste?" Emma says, looking away. Mandy is thrashing against her desperately, but she's keeping her locked in place. "Gmph," you respond, Mandy's squirming head making it difficult to produce any response at all. You continue devouring the girl, moving down her shoulders and over her, disappointingly small, breasts. Once you've reached the halfway point and her arms are safely pinned at her sides, Emma lets go and takes a step back, leaving you to finish your work. After a few more gulps, you slump backwards onto the floor, lifting the girl's desperately kicking legs up over your head to get some assistance from gravity. It doesn't take long for your lips to close over her feet, sealing Mandy inside. You can still faintly hear her whimpering as the last of her curls up into your stomach. "//*UUUUURP!*// Whew, that hit the spot, thanks Emma! Oh, and of course thank //you// Mandy," you say, patting your bloated belly. "Haha, no problem, how's she feel?" Emma asks with a nervous laugh, taking a seat on the floor next to you. "Amazing," you moan, rubbing your hands over your distended gut. Several bumps are visible from Mandy's head and limbs. "She kept squirming all the way down, it felt great! I think she might be crying now though... //*urp*// excuse me!" "Oh..." Emma says. She gives your belly an odd look for a moment, but snaps back to a smile. "You had to know this would happen eventually, Mandy. At least it was $name that got you, right?

The girl is oblivious to your presence, doodling some strange creature in the corner of the board with the marker she found. You decide your best option is to take her by surprise. Being careful not to make a sound, you sneak past the desk and approach her from the right. Just as you're about to grab her, your stomach lets out a tremendous growl that practically echoes through the room. The girl immediately snaps her head towards you and drops the marker. For a brief moment you both pause and stare at each other, then she bolts for the door. Unwilling to lose your meal, you lunge forward and try to tackle her to the ground. @@color:orange;Your strength fails you.@@ Unfortunately, you fall just a few inches short and end up diving straight into the linoleum tiles. You watch helplessly, grumbling on the floor, as the girl sprints out of the room without even looking back. Somewhat embarrassed, you sit there on the floor for a while, rubbing your nose to ease the pain from the impact. Eventually you get back to your feet, even hungrier than before, to go catch up with the group. [[Rejoin the tour->September 1st- Tour: Karbo 2]]

<<if $preyHealth is 0>> <<append "#digestion">> With a yell of defiance the girl rages against your stomach walls in a last ditch effort, mustering enough strength to actually make you wince and jump forward a bit. It's short lived, however, as after only a few seconds the lump in your stomach goes completely still. Curious, you tighten your stomach muscles to put some pressure on her. No response, though it does push some air up your throat. "//*UURP*// Wow, where was that energy before!" you say, massaging your belly with both hands to soothe it after that outburst. Still no movement from the girl, she must really be gone. "Well, at least you went out with a bang" you sigh. With a grunt you start to struggle back onto your feet under the weight of your bulging gut. You end up needing to use the desk to fully right yourself, and out of curiosity you take a look back at the drawing she was doing on the board. There are a few lines where she was clearly starting something new before you interrupted, but underneath them there's a pretty good doodle of a dragon with the name "Mandy" signed below it. @@color:lime;Mandy has been digested!@@ You let out another belch and give your bloated belly a pat. Content with your meal, you decide it's probably about time you rejoin your tour group. You head out the door back into the hall, kicking Mandy's abandoned sneakers under one of the desks as you pass them. <<include "playerPredEnd">>[[Rejoin the tour->September 1st- Tour: Karbo 2]] <</append>> <<elseif $turn is 1>> <<addclass "#actions" "hide">><<toggleclass "#special" "hide">> <<append "#digestion">> Inside your stomach, you can faintly hear a sniffle.

"So sit tight, I'll get you out of there..." "R-Really? Thank you..." she whimpers. You shift onto your knees, your gut spilling out in front of you. "So uh, what's your name? I'm $name," you ask your stomach. It may be an awkward time for introductions, but you need a moment to steel yourself before bringing her back up. "M-Mandy... So are you really goi--aah!" she replies, shrieking as your stomach suddenly clamps down on her. Her surprise is accompanied by a gross medley of gagging sounds as you shove your hand into the back of your throat. You've never actually done this before, but after an agonizing few seconds you feel the weight in your gut lurch upward and Mandy's head is forced back into your throat. You cough and sputter as the girl surges up your esophagus, the disgusting taste of bile assaulting your tongue when she gets her first glimpse of freedom. The initial process is slow, but as soon as her hands are free she drags the rest of herself out as if you were a tight pair of pants. You're left almost crying on the ground, clutching your stomach and still caught in a coughing fit. "Th-thanks" Mandy says, looking a bit shocked from the ordeal. Her clothes are drenched in your stomach acids, and you notice she's missing a sock that must have somehow come off inside you. Before you've even recovered enough to say anything, she runs out of the room.

Uncomfortable with the fact that Sam <<if $outfitState is "gone">>is watching<<else>>is still in the room<</if>> while you're doing this, you dry yourself off with paper towels as quickly and haphazardly as you can, then crack open the bag with the uniform. The uniform is fairly standard for school attire--a white collared shirt with a grey jacket and a moderate length frilled navy skirt. To your surprise the bag also contains a set of plain black underwear--the bra is a size or two too big, but you can manage.

She seemed nice enough at lunch. "Oh actually I just remembered, Emma wanted to meet up at the cookout, I shouldn't leave her hanging. Let's talk later!" you say, getting up from the bench. "O-Oh, okay, uh, see you later," she says<<if $emmaInquiry1 > 0>>, taking a step back away from you<</if>>. You wave to her and hurry out of the garden. Soon after stepping back into the courtyard, you notice Emma and the girl you saw her with earlier not far from where you're standing. They seem to be arguing. You don't know if it's something you want to get in the middle of, so you walk a bit closer to listen in but try to stay where they won't notice you watching. "What, got nothing to say?" the mystery girl sneers. She's a blonde with her hair in a very long ponytail, wearing an assymetric shirt, short shorts, and a heavy amount of makeup. You see Emma clench her fists. "I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over all that makeup," she says halfheartedly. The other girl laughs. "Oh my god that was terrible! And you really shouldn't be talking down about makeup honey, with that disaster of a face it would really do you some good." Emma stamps her foot forward. "Ugh, that's enough Betty! Just--go away!" she shouts. "Oh what's wrong, can't take a little criticism? You gonna do something about it? You don't look like you could even keep a toddler down!" "Yeah well at least I know how to control my appetite!" Emma says. It's clear that struck a nerve with Betty. "Alright you know what bitch?

"Are you alright?" you ask Emma, offering her a hand. "FUCK!" Betty cries, clutching the spot where you kicked her. "Who the hell are you!?" "Y-Yeah... Thanks," Emma says, taking your hand. You pull her back to her feet. You look back over at Betty, glaring. "Get lost." She has a murderous glare, but looks between you and Emma and backs up a bit before getting back to her feet. "Whatever!" is all she says before stomping away, flipping you off for good measure. Emma goes over and sits on the bench behind you, arms crossed. "Boy am I glad you showed up when you did, I wasn't ready for her to really make a move..." "Don't mention it, I'm just glad I got here in time," you say, taking a seat next to her. "What was her deal?" "I don't know!" she says<<if $emmaRel > 3>>, leaning up against your shoulder<</if>>.

The two of you keep talking there on the bench all through the cookout, making a lot of jokes at Betty's expense.

Betty tackles Emma, taking her down to the ground. Emma screams as Betty pins her arms down. "Mmm, I bet you'll look great on me," Betty says, moving her hand to grip one of Emma's breasts. "Stop!" Emma squeals, using her now freed hand to slap Betty in the face. Betty simply grabs that hand and shoves it in her mouth. "No!" Betty brings her second arm up to follow the first, but her slight repositioning gives Emma just enough space to slip one of her legs out from under her assailant. She immediately strikes up with her knee with all the strength she can muster, hitting Betty square in the stomach. As she reels back from the shock, Emma uses her hands to pull Betty off of her to the side, before pulling them free from the confines of her mouth. You decide it's probably time to stop standing around as she frantically gets back on her feet. "Get away from me!" Emma cries. "Emma are you alright!?" you shout, rushing over as if you hadn't been watching this whole time. "Y-Yeah $name, I'm fine..." she answers, shaking saliva off her hands. "I'm just... I'm gonna head back to the dorm, I'll see you later tonight," she says with a halfhearted smile. "God dammit..." Betty mutters, coughing a bit. She struggles back to her feet and walks off without paying you any mind, leaving you standing alone. Having now missed out on a meal and nearly let your roommate get eaten by a stranger, you end up going back to the bench in the garden to mope. Gabby is nowhere to be found, perhaps scared off by your encounter even though you didn't try anything, so you end up sitting alone for the rest of the cookout.

After making a quick check that there aren't any cameras around that an overzealous gardener might use to catch you, you lean over to the patch of orange flowers next to the bench and pry one of the bulbs off its stem. Without putting any real thought into it, you pop it into your mouth. It's a pretty unpleasant sensation--it's quite bitter and the petals make it feel like you're sucking on a piece of paper. You quickly swallow it whole, sending the peace offering down to the prisoner in your stomach. "Did you really..?" you hear her say after a few seconds and some fumbling around in your gut.

"You still with me? Is that really all you had in you?" you prod. There's a weak kick in response, but you still just hear the groaning of your stomach at work. You shrug, even though she'd have no way of knowing. "Suit yourself, I've got no problems with you accepting your place as my food." For the rest of the cookout, you just sit back on the bench and relax, enjoying the feeling of Mandy stewing away inside of you. You idly run your hand along your belly the whole time, feeling the bulges of Mandy's body pressing against your skin and soothing your gurgling stomach. You catch a few other students looking your way every now and then, but all of them keep their distance. Over time you stop hearing any signs of Mandy, and the weight in your gut starts to feel less... defined. Curious, you poke it with one hand and push the finger in hard.

She turns back to face you just as you make your first big swallow and pull Chandra's head into your throat. "I'm... h-have fun..." she says quietly, hurrying past you with her head down. Shortly after, you hear the door to the locker room slam shut. At least you can be sure she won't interfere. You find yourself regretting your approach. Chandra's hair is greasy and a little scratchy as it slides past your tongue, and since you took her from behind you can't escape the lengthy braid even as you bring her in up to her shoulders. You swallow again and shift your arms to start lifting her up, eager to push past it. On the bright side, she seems to be completely stunned by the turn of events, barely moving at all as she slides into you. After a few more hard swallows, her head and shoulders push into your stomach and start to stretch out your belly. More importantly, you finally feel the tip of her braid slide past your lips, the odd bulge following the rest of her down your throat. With little more than her hips hanging out of your mouth, she finally starts to squirm and kick. "$name is this you I'm in??" her muffled voice shouts. "God dammit! Pretty sure Leah was about to eat me too! How the hell did I only grab assholes to come with me!?" You don't even register her complaint, because your tongue just ran over the tiny strip of exposed skin between her shirt and shorts. Your eyes light up. Maybe it's just because of how unpleasant her hair was, but she tastes //amazing//. It's an oddly sweet, almost creamy flavor, like her skin was dusted with sugar. Grabbing her thighs, you force her shorts up as high as you can and greedily gulp down her hips to get the clothing out of the way as quickly as possible. "Hey, c'mon!" Chandra protests. You take your time with the rest of her, running your tongue along her legs and savoring every moment as she slides into you. Once she's in past her knees, you pull off her sandals and toss them aside. As her feet start to disappear behind your lips, you take a seat on the end of the bench, shifting back a little so that it supports your writhing gut. After running your tongue along the tips of her toes for one final taste, you swallow her down, sending the last of her on its way to your belly. "//*UUurp*// Wow, you were //*urp* delicious//!" you say, placing a hand on your gut. "And that's not a taunt I'm //*urp*// serious, what soap do you use?"<<set $sceneAttack to 0>><<set $sceneDefense to 0>> <<include $sceneActionsLink>> <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "predOptions">></div>

<<if $preyHealth <= 0>> <<append "#digestion">> Chandra seems to finally give in completely, the vague bulges of her body in your belly going still. Your gut is even starting to soften and round out already. You gently run a hand along the top of it, and when you still don't feel any movement, you squeeze in hard from the front. "//*UUUURRRP*// Almost as good on the way back~" you say quietly, the pressure forcing up a lot of gas that carried a tiny hint of her sweet flavor. There's a satisfying sloshing sound when you let go and your belly shifts back into place. @@color:lime;Chandra has been digested!@@ "Woah, someone's enjoying themselves over there!" you hear someone laugh from the other side of the lockers. Alesha peeks her head around the corner, then turns her head back. "Yeah it's Chandra that's been gurgling, Sare." "Oh yay! I saw Leah leave and I was worried you were the one digesting over here," Sarah says, walking over to your side of the lockers in the middle of putting her shirt back on. "You're too cute for that," she adds with a wink. "It's almost time for lunch, we were gonna head over now. You wanna come with?" Alesha asks. "Oh don't be silly, Ali, look at her! She's not going anywhere like that," Sarah says. She leans over and pokes your distended belly, giggling. "Yeah, she's right," you say. "I think I'm gonna let Chandra settle in a little more before I leave." "Totally get it! Maybe we'll catch you later!" Alesha says. "Yeah you need to show us how Chandra turns out!" Sarah adds, cupping her breasts and giggling. Alesha pouts a little at that, but Sarah kisses her on the cheek and she goes back to smiling. The two of them walk away and out of the room, Sarah clinging to Alesha's arm. <<Couple 1>> With the room to yourself, you lay back on the bench, massaging your belly as it starts to get to work breaking down your meal. The groaning of your stomach echoes off the walls of the empty room. You could stay like this all day, but eventually you remember that you don't even have the key to your room yet, so you should probably regroup before lunch is over. With a lot of sloshing from your belly, you ease yourself off the bench.

You try desperately to swallow her back down, but your stomach has had enough and relentlessly squeezes her back out of you. "Come on, just..." Chandra grumbles as her head and shoulders emerge from your mouth, wiggling her body to try and get out faster. "There we--ah!"

Knowing you need to act fast in case Leah intervenes, you rush toward the two girls as they vanish behind the lockers, ignoring Sarah. You whip around the corner and grab Chandra's shoulders. "Hey..!" she gasps, though curiously it's a few moments before you've actually done anything. You try to pull her back toward you, but you're met with a strange resistance, like something else is pulling her in the other direction. When she doesn't budge, you try to pull harder, but the brief moment of confusion gave her the opportunity she needed to break free from your grip. "What the hell guys!" she shouts, stepping away and forcing you back with a shove. Leah shrinks away from the scene, looking very embarrassed. Chandra stamps one foot forward and balls her hands into fists. "You've gotta be kidding me!" You shift to the side so that you're blocking the way to the door, not ready to give up on your meal yet. Chandra notices and stares you down, holding her ground. You lunge forward to grab her, but she jumps back, then runs forward after her dodge.

There's a small line at the stand and she stops at the back with a sigh, running a hand along Emma's form and tapping her foot impatiently.

Betty turns to her with an annoyed look, but gets a little smirk when she sees the newcomer is also carrying live prey. "Well, someone needs to //*urp*// put the fodder in their place," she replies, slapping her belly. You can see Emma thrashing in response, accompanied by a faint sloshing sound. "Exactly. It's honestly shameful that some of this trash got accepted, I don't know what they were thinking," <<if $metAlice>>Alice<<else>>the girl<</if>> muses, running a hand along her gut and shaking it a little.

"She seems rowdy, mine's boring. Worthless bitch couldn't even put up much of a fight on the way down," Betty taunts as she fills her cup.

"Have you heard of Selene Mercato?" "Yeah, old washed up movie star, right?" Betty replies as she takes a seat. <<if $metAlice>>Alice<<else>>The girl<</if>>'s eye twitches, but she maintains her haughty tone. "I'm her daughter, Alice Mercato," she says, clearly pretending she wants her to think that that's completely inconsequential information.<<set $aliceInfo1 to 2>> "Uh-huh, I'm //*urp*// sure," Betty replies, rolling her eyes. "Fuck off. No you're not." "What?" Alice growls. Not only does she clench her fists, her gut seems to tighten around its occupant as well. "Come on, really? 'My mom's a movie st-" Betty gets cut off in the middle of her response as her face contorts and she clutches her gut. Emma seems to be fighting hard and her predator is clearly struggling, leaning forward and covering her mouth with one hand while the other continues trying to ease her stomach pain. Alice's anger fades into a mix of disappointment and amusement as she watches the situation unfold, taking a step back and idly massaging her own gut with one hand. Betty makes a gagging sound and massages her throat before leaning back and letting out a sigh, Emma's attempt at escape seemingly thwarted. But after a moment of peace she jolts forward again in a short fit of coughing, culminatiing in a wet mass flying out of her mouth to the ground. You recognize it--a bright blue shirt, pocked with holes and drenched in stomach acid. A loud belch quickly follows it out. "Hmm, how disappointing," Alice jeers. "I thought you had a handle on things." "Shut up," Betty grunts, glaring down at her still thrashing belly. You look up from Emma's shirt and freeze. Alice is looking directly at you. She holds your gaze for a few seconds, but turns back to Betty without acknowledging you. You breathe a sigh of relief and try to look inconspicuous. "You're not entirely pathetic though. Meet me in the dining hall tomorrow morning," Alice commands, turning and walking away without waiting for a response. Somehow, her confident stride seems unaffected by her bloated belly. "Ugh, what a bitch..." Betty grumbles. She's holding her gut with both hands, restricting Emma's movements. With Alice gone and Emma nearly escaping on her own, now might be the perfect time to step in and rescue her.

"I recognize that shirt on the ground. Spit my friend out. Now," you command, without quite as much confidence as you wanted. Betty just laughs. "That's a real //*urp*// generic shirt to recognize you fucking creep," she says. "Your worthless friend is right where she belongs, so no.

Her face immediately goes pale and you feel Emma start to shift upward. You jump back as soon as you're sure it worked, not wanting to be in the line of fire. Sure enough, Betty starts to gag, doubles over, and before long a half naked Emma spills out onto the pavement. She seems to have lost her shorts in the escape on top of her already stripped shirt, leaving her laying in the small pool of Betty's vomit in just her underwear. "Are you alright Emma?" you say, offering a hand despite the mess she's covered in. "You... bitch..!" Betty spits between coughs. She's laying on her side now on the bench, trying to recover. "Th-Thanks, I think I'm okay... I'm just..." Emma says, taking your hand and getting to her feet. Her eyes widen and she inhales sharply. "...COVERED IN PUKE!

"We'll talk in the room, I need to get clean NOW!" she says quickly before taking off toward Karbo sprinting.<<set $emmaInfo1 to 1>> You look back at Betty, who's giving you a murderous glare, shrug, then start to follow Emma's trail back to the room at a more reasonable pace.

You risk getting even closer than you've been, going to get some lemonade for yourself, then sitting on the next bench over from Betty. There's only a couple feet between you, but you pretend to be doing something on your phone to avoid looking suspicious. Betty, meanwhile, seems to be scolding Emma. "Are you done now? Obviously you //*Uuurp*// aren't getting out, so hurry up and digest. Your embarrassment is fucking contagious..." she says, pushing her hands deep into her belly. After a couple seconds she lets up and leans back in the bench, a resting scowl on her face. The bulges mostly stop shifting, Emma either resting or... Her stomach is extremely noisy by now, to the point that it's a little difficult to make out what she's saying. Even with Emma currently being still, the air is filled with all kinds of sloshing and grumbling. A particularly strange //*Glrp*// rings out that even gets Betty's attention, who raises an eyebrow and shakes her belly a little in response, stirring up a low belch. She seems to be ignoring Emma at this point, only absentmindedly rubbing one hand over her gut as she relaxes on the bench. Instead, she's entirely focused on something on her phone. After a few minutes of scrolling and making weird faces, she throws her head back and pushes her palm against her forehead. "Motherfucker, that //was// her..." she mumbles, barely audible over her burbling belly. "Guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow..." The front of her stomach suddenly stretches out for a moment, followed by a few other bulges popping out. <<if $emmaRel > 2>>As much as you're not helping, you can't help being relieved to see that Emma is still kicking.<</if>> Emma's struggle resumes, but seems to be much more planned out than it was before. "Oh don't you start again now!" Betty says, slapping what looks to be Emma's head. "It's way too late, struggling now is just //*uuurp*// pathetic. I know it's tough for people like you, but at least have a //little// class." Emma pushes out hard in response. "Whatever, you'll just be fat I need to work off soon enough," Betty sighs. She pushes herself up off the bench and starts to walk down the path toward Karbo hall, arching her back a bit to better support her Emma-laden gut. "I think I'll finish you off somewhere more private.~" You keep your head down as she passes you. You can hear the contents of her belly sloshing slightly with every step as she goes by, as well as the faintest whimper from Emma. At this point, if she's paying attention even a little bit it'll be obvious you're watching her, but you're determined to see this through as much as you can, so not long after she passes by you get up and follow her into the building. The two of you are the only ones in the hall as you tail her back to her room, but luckily she never looks back. Maybe the groaning of her gut echoing off the empty halls is masking your footsteps. You follow her all the way upstairs, where she disappears behind one of the first doors and locks it behind her, bringing your adventure to an end. Left alone at the top of the stairs, you feel strange. The realization that you almost certainly no longer have a roommate sinking in, perhaps. At any rate, if you were going to help the moment to step in has long passed, so you start to head back down the stairs to your own room. [[Turn in for the night->September 1st- Night]]

<<if $preyHealth is 0>> <<append "#digestion">> As time passes, you can feel Olivia's movements slowing. You run your hands along the smooth, taunt skin of your belly, feeling the form of the girl trapped within with a smile. Her shifting has pretty much stopped entirely by now. You can hardly believe it--an upperclassman, taken through the back door without any experience, and it seems like you actually made a meal out of her. Eventually, you hear her speak to you again, in a much weaker tone than before. "Listen... You're not really a freshman, right?" Olivia says. "Just, tell me that somehow... you actually weren't lying about being in that class... I can't just be some random newbie's meal..." "Hate to break it to you 'Liv', but you totally called my bluff," you tell her. "This is only my second day even being on campus, and you're the first one to ever have the pleasure of going through my pipes in one piece." "God... Damn it..." she mutters. There's a few seconds filled only with the sound of your gurgling gut lightly echoing off the bathroom walls before she speaks again. "Listen, $name... I know this is just, how things work... and really I can't say shit 'cause I was gonna do the same thing to you if things had gone different... so I'm not mad. At you. I am mad at someone else... so would you promise me something, before I become just... part of you?" "Oh?"

It's not like she'll be able to hold you to it if you don't end up taking the risk, so what's the harm in at least telling her what she wants to hear? "Thank you, $name..." Olivia replies. It doesn't feel like she's moving at all anymore.

"If I keep her around, maybe she'll trick another girl into crawling up my ass.~" "Fuck... you..." Olivia replies, punching your stomach wall with all the strength she can muster. It barely makes a noticeable bulge and almost tickles. She's still idle despite the anger, her energy clearly spent. "Hah, that was pathetic!" you jeer, squeezing your stomach a bit to add insult to injury. "//*URP*// I don't take requests from food--if Cherry //does// end up in my gut someday, it's because //I// wanted her there, not because of some promise I made to an early lunch."<<toggleclass "#end" "hide">><</replace>><</link>> Olivia doesn't speak up again, lost in the churning and groaning of your gut. You sit there for a long time, blissfully massaging your belly and thinking about the odd circumstances that led you here. Eventually you feel the bulges of your belly soften and round out, your distended gut no longer clear about what it contains. By now, some of Olivia is probably already heading back down the path it came in through. @@color:lime;Olivia has been digested!@@ <<if $day2SunnyFlirt>> You feel your phone vibrate with a sudden short barrage of new messages. They're from Sunny! You open them up to take a look. //"Hey, hope you didn't think I was kidding nerd :P Your buddy is really getting in the way of my unpacking//" Below the message is a picture--an overhead selfie of Sunny in her cluttered room, her bloated belly fully in frame. It's smooth and sagging a little, definitely smaller than at breakfast but still very large. She's flashing a peace sign at the camera with a big smile on her face, still wearing her sunglasses. You smirk and turn on your camera, taking a shot of yourself imitating her pose with your Olivia filled gut in view. You text it to her, adding: "//Luckily I'm already moved in//". After a brief pause, Sunny replies: "//Haha yeah! Show 'em who's boss girl!//" You smile and start to rub your gut again. <</if>> You almost doze off there on the bathroom floor, before suddenly realizing that you do, in fact, still have a class to get to. You pull out your phone and check the time: 11:47. No point in going at this point, they've probably already been dismissed. But, you still struggle up onto your feet--you're at least going to find a more comfortable spot to sit and relax. You take a few cautious steps forward out of the bathroom stall, adjusting to the extra weight you're now carrying. It's straining your back a bit, but you can manage. You grab your backpack off the ground and throw it back on before heading out of the room, leaving Olivia's abandoned shoes as the only evidence of what took place here. <<include "playerPredEnd">>[[Head back into the hall->September 2nd- Dorm Before Lunch]] <</append>> <<elseif $turn is 1>> <<append "#digestion">> "That's no way to treat your only chance at salvation, now is it?" Cherry says. She drums on the bulge Olivia's head is making with her fingers. "If she's such a pushover why are you still in there?" "//*urp*// The woman makes a good point," you say to taunt Olivia, your confidence being boosted now that it seems like Cherry is on your side in this. "Hah!" Cherry says with a stupid grin on her face. She leans over and gives a quick kiss to one of the more defined bulges Olivia is making in your belly, then gets back up to her feet. "You're in good hands Liv, I probably won't see you again. Don't wanna be //too// late to class, Stars is probably still mad at me from last year, so I'm outta here. This has been fun though! Good luck $name.~" With that she's off, heading out of the stall and taking her leave of the bathroom, leaving you alone with your prey. <<Cherry 2>> <</append>> <<elseif $turn is 2>> <<append "#digestion">> "//*UURP*// I'll be honest, I'm kinda confused about the relationship between the two of you now," you say, gently massaging your gut. It's starting to get noisier, sloshing and gurgling constantly from the struggling of its occupant. The longer she stays down the more excited you get--you might actually pull this thing off! "I //thought// we were friends, but apparently..." Olivia replies. With a frustrated grunt, she strikes your stomach hard enough that you jolt forward. "Figures I shouldn't have trusted someone as fake as her ass. Fake hair, fake eyes, fake name..."<<set $cherryInquiry1 to 1>> "Her name isn't actually //*urp*// Cherry?" you ask as you try to soothe your belly from her painful outburst. "Doubt it, fits too perfectly with the rest of her bullshit," Olivia grumbles. "Oh hey by the way LET ME OUT!" she screams, pushing out with all of her limbs for a brief moment. "Look, you asked for this and then basically put yourself in there, I just decided to //*urp*// accept the offer. So get nice and comfortable," you reply. <<if $preyHealth is 1>>Over the groaning of your stomach you can faintly hear that she seems to be breathing heavily.

Olivia grins down at you and pulls at her panties with one hand, effortlessly tearing them clean off with how worn down the fabric was from your stomach. She drops what's left of them on the ground and pushes her ass straight toward your face. @@color:orange;You were overpowered.@@ You feel her press against you, not having time to move away. Your head hits the rim of the toilet as you're forced back, but she keeps pushing, her ass cheeks parting around your head. The pressure hits a tipping point, and with nowhere else to go you feel your head get squeezed into the warm, tight embrace of her insides. With a muffled cry you grab at her legs to try and push her off of you. "There we go," Olivia grunts. She grabs one of your arms, but she leaves her other hand free to run along the bulge of your face in her stomach. "Whew, I'm a little rusty at this," she laughs. You desperately try to lift her off of your shoulders with your free hand, and she obliges... taking both of her legs off the ground and dropping all of her weight onto you. Immediately, you're forced deeper into her colon as the tight grip of her sphincter releases your neck and slides down your body. Olivia gasps, having taken you in down to your hips in a matter of seconds. "This... is how a real pro... does it..." she huffs, breathing hard. She pauses for a moment, sitting on the ground with your legs splayed out under her. It takes you a moment to come to your senses, not entirely sure how to react to suddenly having your entire upper body squeezed inside someone's ass, but you realize the opportunity and start squirming against her insides, doing anything you can think of to escape. Unfortunately, the walls quickly tense up around you, then grip you hard, dragging you deeper into her body. You can hear her making various grunting sounds as she keeps up the pressure, pulling your legs in inch by inch as you're squished and squeezed further along the tunnel of her intestines. Before long you feel the cool air of the room slip away and your feet join the rest of you in the hot confines of her body, her anus sealing tight behind your toes. You keep sliding further through the slick walls until you seem to hit a dead end and she finally relents. "Oh //fuck// that felt good," Olivia says, resting her hands on you through her stomach. "How's it feel from the other end, $name? You did much better as prey." "It's disgusting, let me out!" you cry. On top of the intense constriction, the smell is awful. The walls crush down around you painfully tight for a moment in response. "Oh shut up, this is what you deserve!

You can hear her stomach roaring ahead of you as you're forced through the last stretch of her intestines. Your head pushes up against a tight ring of muscle, then, with a heavy push from Olivia, it's forced open as you're shoved through. You immediately find yourself submerged in roiling stomach acid, the organ clearly eagerly anticipating your arrival. <<if $acidStage is 2>>It takes until your chest pops into the looser chamber for there to even be enough room for you to breathe.<<else>>Luckily, a second later your head is above the surface, the built up acid only forming a small pool compared to your size.<</if>> Her muscles keep squeezing you in, bit by bit, until finally your feet pop into the boiling heat of her stomach, the sphincter sealing shut behind you.

"This concludes my demonstration, I hope you learned something." "Alright, we're even now!" you grunt, trying to get your bearings in the new space. You're pretty sure you're laying with your back at the bottom of her gut, based on the growing tide of acid. "Spit me out!" "Are you stupid? I don't play to 'get even'. Besides, I was already planning on having //*urp*// you for lunch the minute I saw you at the door, you just got to take the long way for being such a pain," Olivia replies.

Luckily, the dorm halls are empty and you make it downstairs to your door without issue.

Before taking care of that, however, you strip off your clothes and toss them into the laundry basket. It might start to smell, but its not like her stomach did any damage to them. You step into the shower, just rinsing out your hair and quickly washing away the leftover coating from your time inside of Slate before getting out.

Nah it wasn't Alice, I got an... extra lesson in with Professor Slate, we'll say," you explain. You hold up the necklace. "But look what I have!" "Ew..." "Oh, yeah I guess I should wash it first," you laugh, heading into the bathroom and placing it in the sink. You leave it there for now, returning to the room to put together a change of clothes. "I'm gonna wash off, I'll explain after." "Please do," Emma says. You very quickly hop into the shower, just rinsing out your hair and washing away the leftover coating from your time inside of Slate before getting out.

"Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what I'm gonna do with it yet, but it seemed like it was important to her," you reply, going into the bathroom to deal with the jewelry in question. "Uh-huh..." Emma says, still seeming perplexed. You head back to the sink and start to wash the necklace, rinsing away the slime that's built up from its extended stay inside Slate's gut.

Knowing what you have to do, you turn around and walk back to the door to 219. The room has already cleared out completely when you walk in, the silence immediately making you feel tense. The only person left is Professor Slate, working on some kind of paperwork at the front desk. She doesn't address you at all as you cross the room. When you reach her desk, you start to open your mouth but immediately get cut off. "What? Did you forget something?" Slate sighs, not even looking up from her work.<<if $minaEnd is "player">> "Or perhaps you'd like to apologize for your disruptive behavior?"<</if>> "Uh, no, //I// didn't, and not exactly 'forgot'," you stammer, becoming increasingly nervous about deciding to confront her about this. "Out with it," she says, glancing up at you for a moment. "Well it's actually about Alice-" "Do you have a problem with my teaching methods then, Miss... $last was it?" Slate says. The moment you mentioned Alice, she put her pen down and finally gave you her full attention, scowling slightly. "No, no, it's not that! She had a necklace on at the start of class that never... came out..." you explain. Slate slightly raises one of her eyebrows. She brings her hand down to feel her stomach, then nods. "Yes, I suppose she did. Is there a point to this? You're interrupting my work." "Well, could I... have it back to bring to her?" you ask with a nervous smile. "If she wants it back, she can come get it herself. <<if $slateFavor < 0>>Why you thought I would humor you with this nonsense after showing such blatant disrespect during class is beyond me," she says, scowling at you. "Get out."<<else>>Now I believe you were dismissed," she replies, going back to whatever she was working on.<</if>> <<if $slateFavor > -1>><<link "Be insistent">><<append "#continue">>"I think we both know she'd never do that," you say, not willing to give up yet. Slate sighs again, dropping her pen this time and leaning back in her chair. "And why does that matter to me, Miss $last? For that matter, why does it matter to //you// enough to be causing all this fuss? You have better things to be worrying about today." "It's just, she seemed really upset when she realized it was gone and-" She holds up a hand to stop you. "I don't care if you're her friend, I'm not going through the effort of bringing it back up." <<if $aliceRel < 0>>"Well I'm not really her friend, she kinda sucks actually, but it seemed like it was something really important to her," you say. "Ah, so you want blackmail material then?" "Uh, well, not necessarily-" "No need to explain," she says, leaning forward and resting her elbows on the desk. <<else>>"Look it's clearly something really important to her, is there something I can do to change your mind?" Her face shifts a little, but it's hard to read. She leans forward and rests her elbows on the desk. <</if>>"You're quite persistent about this. Annoyingly so, I must say. But if you want it that badly, I'll make you an offer," she says, pushing her chair back away from the table. "As an opportunity to get ahead in your studies, you can go retrieve it yourself." "Uh..." you say, stepping away from the desk as your eyes go wide. "That was a serious offer, and not a threat, Miss $last. As a professor I can't digest students without a strong reason to do so, so you don't need to worry about that," she says. "So if you really want this necklace, I'll swallow you and you can retrieve it yourself, then you'll have to fight your way out. As I made clear in class, you have no hope of actually overcoming me, but if I can tell you're making an honest, effective effort, I'll let you back out after half an hour.

Slate gives a slight nod and opens a drawer on her desk, pulling out the same bottle from class. "You're certain you're ready for this?" she says, holding one of the antacid tablets between her fingers. "Yes," you say with a gulp. "Let's do this..." "Very well," she says, quickly swallowing the tablet. "Since this isn't a punishment I'll give you the choice: would you like to undress so that your clothes aren't ruined?" "Um... but," you answer, caught off guard. "There's windows in here... and you're-" "You first years are hopeless..." she sighs, grabbing your arm and guiding you in front of her. "Please refrain from squirming on the way down, this isn't part of the test." Before you can say anything, your head is already in her throat. You're not sure you would have resisted at all even without her warning, completely stunned by the suddenness of it all. Just seconds after she started, your head and shoulders are already pushing into her stomach, and it doesn't take much longer before your legs slide down her throat and the last of you is sealed inside.<<if $fullness > 1>> Your still distended belly doesn't even maker her pause.<</if>> You curl up into the gut of your teacher, finding it oddly accommodating for a stomach. The walls have enough give that you don't feel like you're being constricted, and although they're slick it doesn't so much as tingle, her acids already neutralized by the tablet she took. You feel something digging into your lower back and work your hand around to grab it. It's a smooth, rounded object with a chain attached, smaller than your palm. Alice's necklace. "A-Alright I got the necklace," you say, far from comfortable with the current arrangement. A loud gurgling sound comes from somewhere behind you, but you stay calm, trusting that the antacid will keep you safe. "And I think everything's fine in here..." "Excellent, then let's begin," Slate says. You're bounced and shifted inside her gut as she sits back down. You were expecting her to do something to "test" you, but she seems to be ignoring you, or maybe waiting for you to make the first move.<<set $sceneAttack to -100>><<set $sceneDefense to 0>> <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "preyOptions">></div>

Without much choice in the matter, you sit still and wait for her to let you out, hugging your legs and trying to shift into a somewhat comfortable position.<<if $day2SunnyFlirt>> After a little while, you feel the familiar buzzing of your phone and sigh, knowing you're going to have to wait. Then it occurs to you that with how relaxed her walls are, there's probably no harm in bringing it out, and it's not like you have anything else to do for a while. You carefully maneuver it out of your pocket, gently pushing on the flesh in front of you to clear some room. You shudder a little as the light from your screen illuminates the slimy flesh surrounding you. There's a new message from Sunny. "//Hope you're somewhere private that's not a gut, cause she's all done! Got them nice and plumped up <3//" Below that is the picture you've been waiting for. It's another selfie of Sunny, only this time her stomach is flat and she's using her free hand to pull her shirt down, fully exposing her right breast. She's sticking her tongue out at the camera with a smirk. You start to feel a little warmer as your eyes stay glued to the image. Prying yourself away, you scroll down more.

"//Making these little updates was fun, who knew horny freshmen could actually improve your day! Maybe we'll do this again sometime ;)//" You sigh, but you're grinning, getting an idea. You take a picture of your cramped confines, the flash revealing your legs and lower body framed by pink flesh. "//Bad news on that first part//," you text her back, sending the image.

The only sounds are the noises of her body at work around you, and the occasional shuffling of paper or opening of a drawer. At some point, her stomach seems to start squeezing more aggressively and you feel the slightest tingling sensation on your exposed skin, but almost immediately another antacid tablet plops down into the chamber with you from Slate's throat. Then, she gets up from the table and starts to walk somewhere else as you helplessly bounce along to the click of her heels. You overhear the sound of keys and a door being locked. A part of you wants to protest, but you know it would be useless. If she's done in the room it would have been the perfect time to spit you out and move on with her day, but seeing as she just re-upped your protection you doubt that's her intention. Despite yourself, you're starting to find the rhythm of her movement and warm embrace of her insides rather relaxing. "Alexandra? That had better not be Selene's daughter in there. You know you can't just eat students, personal grudge or no," you hear <<if ($introA > 0) or $cookoutJuniper>>the familiar voice of Professor Juniper<<else>>a somewhat familiar sounding voice<</if>> say. You feel her put her hand on Slate's stomach. "Oh come on June, you know she's old hat. I'd sooner expect //you// to break the rules--this is clearly a troublemaker," a less familiar voice says. "You always get yourself so wound up about the freshman." "More of an extended lesson," Slate says, pushing the other professor's hand away. "The Mercato girl behaved exactly as I'd expect from someone raised by that woman, but this isn't her. And both of them are fine." You feel her nudge you slightly from the underside of her belly. "Uh, yeah I'm alright in here. She just took another antacid a minute ago," you say, ending your statement with a yawn. You're not sure if you should be embarrassed that you're starting to doze off inside of her. "Ah, well then, sorry for making assumptions," Juniper says. "Jordan and I are going to grab a bite in town before heading home, you're welcome to join us if you'd like. Though I suppose you seem busy." "Yes, I am," Slate replies. "As curt as always. Have a good evening, Slate," the other voice says with a slight laugh. You faintly hear two sets of footsteps fading into the distance. The jingling of keys clues you in that another door is being opened, and soon Slate is seated again. "So, um, when //are// you going to let me out, if you don't mind me asking," you ask. "I think I'm missing dinner." "I told you, when it's convenient for me. Though I suppose I can't take you off-campus, so probably when I leave for the night," Slate answers. You sigh and sink back into the walls<<if $fullness < 2>>, your own stomach growling a little at this point<</if>>. Knowing you can't really do anything but wait, you close your eyes and relax against the warm massage of her stomach. Before long, you've fallen asleep. ... You come to in a rather rude awakening, suddenly finding your head tightly squeezed by Slate's throat. By the time your slime covered body is out of her gut and laying slumped on the floor, you still aren't fully awake. You shiver as you groggily sit up, the air of the hallway freezing after adjusting to Slate's body temperature. Looking around, you find that you're in the dorm hall by the laundry room. "I hope you've learned something from this, young lady," Slate says, folding her hands behind her back. You nod as you get onto your feet, though you're not really sure what lesson you were supposed to get from your extended stay. "Thank you..." "Be sure you're prepared for class tomorrow," she says, turning away and starting to walk down the hall. "And don't forget Mercato's trinket." You panic for a moment, realizing you aren't holding the necklace anymore and it might have all been for nothing. To your relief, you see it sitting on the ground next to you. You quickly pick it up and head for your dorm, ready to put this strange ordeal behind you. <<include "playerPreyEscape">>[[Go get changed->Confront Slate- Recovery]]

<<set $day2Hunt to "karbo main">>You figure that the best place to catch a meal would be the main hallway of Karbo. It could be dangerous with how much traffic passes through since you still have to assume you're being hunted too, but it also seems like your best bet to run into your fellow freshman, since most of them will be passing through on their way to dinner. You <<if !$eatenByLeila and !$eatenByZoeyMulti>>head downstairs using the stairwell by the dorms<<if !$emmaInjured>>, awkwardly ending up following close enough behind to watch Emma return to your dorm<</if>>, then make your way to the main hall.<<else>>head towards the main hall to start scoping things out.<</if>> As you round the corner, you spot two other girls in the hallway coming your way, one with a mildly distended belly that looks very far along in the digestive process. Not wanting trouble with what looks like upperclassmen, you change course to keep walking straight toward the classroom halls. Both of them reach the end of the hall and take a left not long after your evasion. With the coast clear, you head back around the corner, and it seems like it might be your lucky break. About halfway down the hall, a lone, ditsy looking brunette has stepped out of one of the rooms. She's a bit shorter than you and on the scrawny side. It looks like she's barely paying attention to her surroundings, slightly bobbing her head from side to side as she bounces down the hall. It seems like the perfect opportunity for a meal, but maybe it's too good to be true. <<link "Go for her">><<set $stamina -= 3>><<goto [[On the Hunt- Eat Penny]]>><</link>> <<link "Go for her (Aggressive)">><<set $stamina -= 3>><<goto [[On the Hunt- Eat Penny]]>><</link>> <<link "Leave her">><<replace "#choice">>You stop yourself and decide to wait for someone else to come along instead. She was such an easy looking target that it was suspicious, like she was trying to bait you into a trap. Better safe than sorry. Unfortunately, as your hunt continues it starts to seem like she may have been your only option. The main hall is quite busy, and you more often find yourself having to hide away for your own safety than actually looking for a meal as your prowl the halls. You try to alternate between the lobby and the end of the hall to not look as suspicious, but the lobby seems to be a hotspot for the upperclassmen as these hours. This may not have been the best choice of hunting grounds. After a while, the choice to give up the hunt is made for you. As you're heading down the hall toward the lobby, a heavyset girl suddenly strikes from behind you, shoving you against the wall before you've even realized there was anyone following you. She pins you for a moment, but another girl with her whispers something into her ear that you don't quite catch. The larger girl releases you with a sigh, agrees with whatever the other girl had said, and the two take their leave back the way they came. With your heart beating fast after such a close call, you decide maybe hunting during the massacre wasn't such a great idea. You are still hungry, however, so after you've recovered from the scare you start to make your way to the dining hall. [[Head to dinner->September 2nd- Dinner]]<</replace>><</link>>

"Come on, just<<if $aliceRel < 0>> drop the attitude for //five seconds// and turn around<<else>> stop for a second<</if>>, I have something to give you," you say, hurrying up the stairs to close the gap. "What could you possibly-" she starts to reply, turning to glare at you. The words catch in her throat as soon as she spots the necklace in your outstretched hand. Rather than a scowl, her face quickly becomes unreadable, though you swear you saw a smile for a fraction of a second. "...how did you get that?" "I went back to talk to Slate after our chat in the hall. She made me fish it out of her stomach myself, but I got it back. It obviously meant something to you so...<<if $aliceRel >= 0>> I couldn't just do nothing,<</if>>" you say, still holding the necklace out to her. "<<if $aliceRel < 0>>Just take it before I change my mind<<else>>Take it<</if>>." She quickly snatches it from you, gripping it with both hands for a moment. Then she inspects it in silence, her brow furrowing as she looks it over, glancing your way a few times. "You..." After a brief pause, she regains her usual composure. "<<if $aliceRel < 0>>...do realize this doesn't make us even, right?

"But I suppose it was useful of you to deal with it," she adds, looking you over. "You're welcome." "I didn't thank you!" she huffs, quickly walking off down the hall.<</if>> You sigh and start to head back down the stairs. A slight smile spreads across your lips.

"I really thought you were gonna use that for blackmail or something. You went through all that to get something back for //Alice//?" she says. "I know, but... I don't know, it just seemed like the right thing to do," you reply, blushing a little bit. Emma puts a hand on your shoulder. "No no, I'm not judging! You're awesome $name," she beams. "Heh, thanks.

<<set $time to 21.75>><<include "TIME">>You stumble into your room, ready to clean up and call it a night. As you lock the door you look down at the necklace in your hand. You're not entirely sure it was worth going through that to get. <<if $emmaInjured>>You turn around to head for the bathroom and freeze. Sitting on one of the beds is none other than Emma, giving you a worried look. "$name? What happened to you?" she says in a somewhat raspy voice. "Emma! You're--how did you..?" you say, still a little stunned as you walk into the room. "I'm fine, don't worry about this--How did you escape, that girl was a monster!?" Now that you've had a moment to process, you realize just how bad of a state she's in. Her right arm is wrapped like a mummy and various other bandages are plastered across her skin. Her hair is messy and unmistakably shorter than it used to be, barely hanging lower than her chin and missing most of the orange that used to drape her shoulders. Even her outfit seems somber--her bright clothes replaced with a pale blue tank top and dark shorts. Emma's brow hardens. "S-She had class... a while after we got separated. It was with Professor Juniper, she said they were having first-day lab, or something like that, and anyone that had living prey needed to let them out..." she explains. Her eyes start to water a little. "It had been over an hour just.. boiling inside her--$name, I-I was //gone//." She sniffles. "But somehow, when I heard that Juniper was right by us, I managed one last push hard enough for her to see I was still there. I was so far along that after Zoey threw me up, they had to bring me to the nurse's office..." She pauses and starts to sniffle almost constantly, a single tear dripping down her cheek. "Hey, it's alright," you say. "It's over now, the important thing is that you're alive." "Y-Yeah, you're right," she sniffles, composing herself. "But you're sure you're okay? You're all... wet..." "Yeah, this is from a... weird situation, but I wasn't even in danger, don't you worry," you say with a smile. "I'm gonna go get cleaned up though."<<else>> "$name! <<if $emmaRel > 1>>I was getting so worried, w<<else>>W<</if>>hat happened?

Emma asks, appalled. "Yes, but with an antacid so I wasn't in danger. I'll explain once I clean up."<</if>> You grab your pajamas out of your dresser and a towel, then head into the bathroom. After tossing the necklace into the sink to deal with after, you very quickly hop into the shower, just rinsing out your hair and washing away the leftover coating from your time inside of Slate before getting out. After drying off and putting on your fresh clothes, you head back into the main room. You toss your old outfit into the laundry basket. It might start to smell, but its not like Slate's stomach did any damage to them so they should be fine.<<set $outfit to "pjs">><<set $outfitState to "normal">> <<if $emmaInjured>>You were hoping to talk with Emma more, but it looks like she's already asleep and you don't want to disturb her. Before turning in yourself, you head back to the sink and start to wash the necklace, rinsing away the slime that's built up from its extended stay inside Slate's gut. You look it over as the water brings back its shine, not really having an opportunity to give it a close inspection until now. It's pretty simple--just a gold pendant with a large ruby set in the center--but seems very valuable, assuming it's real.<<if $day2LunchAlone>> You can definitely believe her mom is a movie star if she's walking around with something like this.<</if>> Interestingly, it seems very worn.

You're feeling pretty hungry, but the dining hall is definitely closed by now, so you decide to just call it a night and eat a big breakfast in the morning.<<else>>"So what exactly happened? It looks like you got swallowed, but you seem pretty much fine with it?" Emma asks. You explain your talk with Alice and what happened with Slate to her. "Huh... so you went through that... for //Alice's// necklace?" she says, giving you a confused look. "Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what I'm gonna do with it yet, but it seemed like it was important to her," you reply, going into the bathroom to deal with the jewelry in question. "Uh-huh..." Emma says, still seeming perplexed. You head back to the sink and start to wash the necklace, rinsing away the slime that's built up from its extended stay inside Slate's gut.

<<if $preyHealth is 0>> <<append "#digestion">> As it fills with acid, your belly starts to round out more and the bulges from Alex are less noticeable. You pause, feeling an odd pressure at the base of your throat. It keeps building as Alex squirms, feeling tighter and tighter until-- "//*OOOUUURRRRRRRP!*//" A deep, rolling belch blasts out of your mouth, and along with it flies an acid drenched black sneaker, peppered with rips and holes. Your belly immediately relaxes, any hint of a stomachache fading away with the excess gas relieved. You cover your mouth and blush a little, then start to giggle as you look at the slimy shoe on the ground. "Well excuse me! You don't need that anymore, do you?" you say, poking your gut. Alex roars in outrage and pushes out against the walls of your stomach. There isn't quite the power behind her movements that there used to be. You lean back and relax, gently running one of your hands over your satisfied, thrashing belly. Over the course of the next twenty minutes or so, Alex's struggling and propensity for hurling insults at you begin to slow. You'd been enjoying the sensation ever since her fire had started to die down, like an internal massage. It's almost disappointing that you're nearing the end. "I gotta admit, you put up a pretty good fight in there," you say, hugging your belly. "I'll make sure I put you to good use." "fuck... you..." comes the weak reply from Alex. Those are the last words you hear from her as your acid filled belly gets to work breaking her down. It's warm to the touch at this point as it churns away at its meal. You let out one last tiny burp and smile. @@color:lime;Alex has been digested!@@ <<if $day2SunnyFlirt>> As you massage your bloated gut, you feel the familair buzz of your phone and pull it out to find a new message, once again from Sunny. Noticing that the message preview says something about privacy, you very excitedly open it. "//Hope you're somewhere private that's not a gut, cause she's all done! Got them nice and plumped up <3//" Below that is the picture you've been waiting for. It's another selfie of Sunny, only this time her stomach is flat and she's using her free hand to pull her shirt down, fully exposing her right breast. She's sticking her tongue out at the camera with a smirk. You start to feel a little warmer as your eyes stay glued to the image. Prying yourself away, you scroll down more. "//And don't forget about the CABOOSE!//" the next message says. Attached is a very shaky, terribly framed shot of her smacking her ass. "//Making these little updates was fun, who knew horny freshmen could actually improve your day! Maybe we'll do this again sometime ;)//" You get a big grin on your face and decide to take a picture of your own to send her. You can't bring yourself to be quite as risque as her while you're still technically in public, but you do lift up your shirt enough that she can see your bra as you get a shot of your Alex-filled gut. "//Looking good, I hope mine fills me out even half as much~ And gladly ;)//" you text back. After a brief pause, Sunny replies: "//Ha! Good luck with that, you've got a long way to go to catch up with this :P Enjoy the meal tiger//", with a thumbs up at the end. <<Sunny 1>> <</if>> You sit and enjoy the sensation for a little while longer, feeling <<if $day2SunnyFlirt>>Alex's<<else>>her<</if>> form soften inside you until your gut is close to being completely rounded. With a meal in your belly and the monday massacre turned in your favor, you decide you're ready to turn in, pushing yourself back up onto your feet. Your belly sloshes and sways with the motion. You give it one last pat before heading for the door, leaving the acid drenched sneaker on the ground as a sign of your triumph. <<include "playerPredEnd">><<if $leahInvited>>[[Head back to your dorm->September 2nd- Evening]]<<else>>[[Turn in for the night->September 2nd- Night]]<</if>> <</append>> <</if>>

"I'm looking forward to it," you tease, patting what you're pretty sure is her head. It's hard to tell for certain, the bulges shaping your belly are shifting pretty rapidly from her struggling. "Why the hell were you even out here? Every fucking upperclassman is already breathing down our necks today, you just heartless?" Alex asks, her voice a little muffled by the flesh between you.

You're a little confused by her complete lack of resistance, and slightly concerned with the implication that she //isn't// a freshman, but you can't complain about an easy meal.

You pull her shoes off and toss them aside, then shove the rest of her into your mouth to finish the job.

"You think after all that," you grunt, "you can just-" You gasp mid sentence and your eyes go wide. Penny's arm forced its way back up your throat, causing your stomach to immediately start squeezing the rest of her up to follow. You try to swallow her back, but nothing you can do stops her ascent. Soon enough her arms sprout out of your mouth and she crawls out onto the floor. "Hehe... ah, that was wonderful," Penny sighs as she pushes herself up.

"Hey, you're the one eating random people in the hallway," she replies. Faster than you can react, she leans forward and kisses your cheek. You shove her back and she just laughs, finally getting off of you and standing up. "Let's do this again sometime," she says with a wink. You watch as she practically skips down the hall, evidently unphased by her stay in your gut and not worried about bouncing around in the nude. You find yourself breathing a sigh of relief, somehow feeling like you ended up as the victim in that exchange. After wiping your hands off on the ground and taking another minute to recover, you get back up on your feet. Almost immediately, your stomach growls, still demanding something to fill it up.

You want to fight, finally be free of this disgusting situation, but you're exhausted after trying to escape for so long. Not only that, but even if you somehow managed to drag yourself back to the outside world, a class of seniors is probably the worst spot you could end up. You're left with no real option but to bide your time until you can muster more resistance. <<addclass "#actions" "hide">>[[Rest->Matilda Afternoon]] <<elseif $progress is 1>> You muster the strength to fight again, but any movement at all is difficult with the tight grip her guts have you in. You try to squeeze forward or backward, but the walls tense up just enough to keep you in place. Then you try pressing your arms out, but get barely an inch before they're forced back against your body. Desperate to be free, you keep struggling until you're completely spent. Despite squirming to the point of complete exhaustion, you don't seem to have had any effect on Matilda. She doesn't even react, carrying on as if you weren't even there. "You think Brit's even shown up yet?" Matilda asks. "I wouldn't put it past that dipshit to forget classes started today," Maeve replies. "Doesn't really matter, I'm sure Donna would do most of the work anyways." "I still can't believe you convinced them to skip out on the massacre, D's gonna be so jealous of this," Matilda says, patting her belly. "Convinced? I just told them what they were doing, and they have just enough brain cells to know to listen." You hear a door open and the two girls are greeted by a voice you don't recognize. From their brief conversation, you realize it's a professor, and they're in class. Matilda takes a seat. You can feel the pressure of the desk pressing against your hips through her belly.

I thought I was pretty clear," Matilda says. You suddenly feel the walls tense up like they did when you first entered the confines of her body. You're thrust forward through her guts for a brief, terrifying moment, coming to a stop again with your head pressed up against a thick ring of muscle. "Maybe that'll motivate you a bit more..." <<if $turn is 1>>"Hey you," you hear Maeve call out. There's no response that you can hear. "Matilda, get her," she says with a mock sigh. Your prison suddenly starts to bounce and rock wildly. You do your best to brace yourself against the shaking of her body. It's intense, but after a few seconds of chaos Matilda comes to a stop and you hear a scream. "NO PLEASE, DON'T EAT ME!" an unknown voice shrieks, coming from somewhere very close to you. "Don't be silly, I'm on a diet!" Matilda laughs. "Just ask her!" She presses her hand against your shoulder, squeezing you even harder for a moment. Then she pokes your head. "Go on, tell her." "Let me out you psycho!" you shout. She slaps the bulge of your head in response. You hear the other girl whimper. "Not the answer I was looking for. And so little struggling... maybe I'll end up keeping you after all," Matilda chides. "Please I have class," the girl says. "I just need to get to class. Let go of me. Please!" "God, relax," Maeve huffs, her voice coming from somewhere in front of you. "All you need to do is give a proper greeting. It's rude to just stare, you know." "S-Sorry I didn't mean... Um..." the terrified girl stammers. "Hello, nice to meet you? I'm-" "Ha! I don't care. But I said a //proper// greeting, so I guess you'll need to know who //I// am," Maeve interrupts. "The name's Maeve, and this school belongs to me. So bow to your queen, and you're free to go." "O-Okay!" the girl yelps. There's a pause. "Come on now, all the way. Show some respect," Matilda chimes in. "There we go, was that so hard?" Maeve says after another brief pause. "S-So you're not going to eat me?" the girl whimpers. "I can if you want me to." "Or maybe you want to come in and say hello to my other freshman friend," Matilda laughs. You feel her bend over. The girl gives a tiny shriek and you hear muffled footsteps gradually fade into the distance. "Haha, man this never get's old!" The two carry on through the halls for a while, dragging you along with them. <<if $stamina < 15>>You still don't have the energy to put up any resistance.<<else>>You stick to your protest, trying to relax as much as you can in the situation you've found yourself.<</if>> When you aren't fighting them, the subtle motions of her body are almost comforting. <</if>>"You think Brit's even shown up yet?"

She drums her fingers on the bloated skin and giggles under her breath before returning to her normal stride. "That one," Matilda says in a quiet voice. You hear another groan rumble through her body. "She's perfect." "Go get her then. You're a big girl, you can handle it on your own," Maeve replies. "Scare off her friend for me? I'm semi-serious about being on a diet and I'll definitely just eat her too if she tries to get in the way." "Of course, why would I think that you could handle the easiest prey available without me," Maeve sighs, though even with her voice muffled you can tell it wasn't really said in an insulting way. "H-Hey, what are you-" an unknown voice starts to say before shrieking in surprise. You feel something press against you from the outside. "Kim! Let her go!" another voice yells. "Oh, Kim huh?

Something starts to push against you from behind and above, the pressure in your already cramped confines quickly intensifying as her stomach starts to demand more space in her abdomen. Matilda is efficient, at least, and in no time you're trapped tight against the squirming form of another girl. "//*URP*// That's what I'm talking about..." Matilda says. She grabs the sides of her belly and shakes it slightly. "You really hit the spot, Kim. Say hi to your roommate while you're in there! Sorry, but I think she's having a more fun trip than you will." "Wh-Where are you?" Kim whimpers. "I'm uh... deeper down," you reply, your words a bit slurred from how tight the walls are holding you at this point.

You open your eyes just enough to hit snooze, then immediately sink back into your pillow. Sadly, just as you're about to doze off again the ringing of your alarm resumes blaring in your ears. With a sigh, you sit up and angrily shut it off, not wanting to keep disturbing Emma.<<else>>With a yawn, you slowly sit up in your bed, blinking a few times as your eyes adjust to the light and you start to fully wake up. Realizing that your alarm is still blaring, you hastily grab your phone and shut off the noise to avoid disturbing your roommate. Emma is still sound asleep in her bed.<<if $emmaInjured>> Your shoulders sag a little when you see her hair and remember the condition she's in after yesterday.<<elseif $emmaRel > 2>> You smile a little when you look over at her--she's laying on her back with her arms resting at weird angles, only half covered by her blanket at this point.<</if>><</if>> You crawl out of bed to start getting ready for the day, stretching out as you get on your feet.<<if $digestionEvent>><<set $digestionEvent to false>> When you're finished, one of your hands immediately moves to rest on your stomach as it becomes apparent how much work your stomach put in overnight. <<if $digestion > 0>>You're still a bit bloated, but it's protruding much less than it was before, most of $lastPrey working its way through your body at this point.<<else>> Your once massive gut is back to being flat and empty, though you're definitely softer around the edges than you were when you went to sleep.

Before heading to breakfast, you check over your schedule for the day. Your first class is Anatomy and Physiology bright and early at nine thirty, then in the afternoon you have Survival and Escapism back to back starting at noon. Seems like you'll need to grab lunch early on Tuesdays.<<if $aliceNecklace>> Alice's necklace catches your eye from the bedside table and you decide to take it with you, figuring you'll see her again in class.<</if>> After triple checking the room numbers for every class, you exit the safety of your dorm to head for the dining hall. [[Go get Breakfast->September 3rd- Breakfast]]

<<set $time to 8.5>><<include "TIME">>Knowing you don't have a ton of time, you risk taking the fastest available route and head for the stairs to cross directly to Lampton. Through the bright morning light flooding the bridge, you notice the sky is cloudy and overcast, threatening rain. Looks like it might be a gloomy day. Luckily, the campus is quiet at this hour and you're able to pass through the halls without issue. Just as you're about to head down the stairs, however, someone coming up knocks into your shoulder. You take a cautious step back, but the girl doesn't even seem to have noticed you, carrying on toward her dorm with a cup of coffee in her hand and a pink scarf around her neck. You shrug and continue down into the dining hall. You head up to get yourself some breakfast--it looks like french toast is on the menu today. <<if $leahDitched>>You fill your plate and start to look for a place to sit, heading for the nearest open table. As soon as you take a seat, however, someone puts their plate down across from you. "Well well, interesting to see that you're still doing fine," the girl says, sitting down. It's Mallory, sporting a purple and black dress today. "Oh, Mallory! Perfect, can you let Leah know I'm sorry about last night? I don't know if I'll see her today," you say. "I feel really bad about leaving her hanging, but I was dead tired last night and I didn't have her number or anything to tell her it wasn't gonna work out." "She has class with me in a little while, come and tell her yourself," Mallory replies, her eyes slightly narrowed and her mouth flat. She sighs. "If she even wakes up in time, I couldn't have dragged her out of bed if I'd wanted to..." "Wait is it Anatomy and Physiology?" you ask. Mallory nods. "Perfect, I'm in that class too!" "She was very upset last night, you know," she says, taking a bite off her fork without taking her eyes off of you. "I managed to convince her that someone had eaten you and it was just an unfortunate turn of events, but clearly," she continues, nodding toward you. "I'm sorry, okay? I'm sure she'll understand," you reply. "Mmhmm," Mallory hums. She smiles at you, but her eyes still tell a different story. The two of you talk a bit more while you eat, but there's an uncomfortable tension in the air. Eventually, it starts to get close to class time and Mallory gets to her feet. "Well, come on. Wouldn't want to be late on the first day." [[Head to class->September 3rd- Anatomy and Physiology]]<<else>><<if !$metMallory>>As you start to fill your plate, another girl almost immediately comes up right next to you to get food of her own. You glance over at her, unsure if you should be worried, but she's quick to introduce herself. "Hello there! I don't believe we've met yet. Name's Mallory Weiss, you can call me Mal!" she says with a smile. She's wearing a purple and black dress and clearly has a lot of makeup on. "Hey, I'm $name," you say, a little skeptical. "Emma's roommate, right?" she says. "Uh, yeah, how'd you know?" "Oh I've known Emma since the first day! Such a sweet girl<<if $emmaRel > 3>>. And she's had some wonderful things to say about you!<<else>>,<</if>>" she replies with a little laugh. She gives a slight nod of her head and you find yourself following her to a table once you both have your food. <<if $leahRel > 1>>"You're friends with Leah too, right?

"Do you have any classes today?" she asks. "Yeah, I've got Anatomy and Physiology at nine thirty, then two more in the afternoon. You?" "Oh, wonderful, wonderful! I'm in that same section of A&P, so we can chat now and head over together," Mallory replies. "Let's get to know each other, hmm? How about you tell me what you're hoping to get out of this school? I'm always curious to know, I've gotten some interesting answers on why people are here! Heck, I met this adorable little sprite the first day who was only attending to get better at staying safe from predators."<<else>>As you start to fill your plate, another girl almost immediately comes up right next to you to get food of her own. You glance over at her, but as soon as you recognize who it is she speaks up. "Good morning $name!" Mallory says. She's wearing a different dress today, this one pale purple and black with some stitching across the chest. "Hey <<if $malloryRel > 1>>Mal<<else>>Mallory<</if>>! Nice dress," you say. "Thank you, it's one of my favorites!" she says with a smile as the two of you start to look for a place to sit. <<if $outfit is "uniform">>"Your outfit is also interesting."<</if>> The two of you sit down across from each other at a nearby table.

"Though you're really throwing yourself into the fire here if getting eaten is a major concern for you." "True, but it can't really be helped," you reply. "What about you?" <<if $malloryRel > 1>>"Hmm?

She keeps a very brisk pace, making it difficult for you to keep up. As you pass through the halls of Karbo, you notice that Mallory greets pretty much every person you pass.

Yeah, yesterday was pretty intense," you reply. "It was awful!" Alesha says. "Sooo sucky! I thought I was gonna lose Ali..." "Aww, I was worried about you too babe!"

"Oh yeah so $name, let's chat after class, alright? Pleeease?" she says, reaching an arm out in your direction. "Yeah, sure thing!" you reply. Your seats aren't close enough for you to actually reach her for whatever she was going for, but you give her a thumbs up. "Yay!" she says, letting her arm drop.<</if>> After checking her phone one last time, the woman at the front of the room gives a relieved sigh and stands up. <<if $metLeah>>At that exact moment, the door to the room opens and Leah finally walks in. <<if $leahHangout>>She looks like she just rolled out of bed--her hair is messier than usual and she's wearing very baggy sweatpants.

It's a pretty short auburn-haired girl that sits next to Mallory--the two seem to know each other.<</if>> "Alright, good morning everyone!" the professor says. Hastily written on the board behind her is "Jordan Bora - Anatomy and Physiology I". "I'm Professor Bora, and this is the boring class," she says with a laugh. "Or at least that's what I've heard it called. We do a lot more of the reading and a lot less of the eating here, so I'm sure you'll agree. But, this is still necessary stuff to know! I'll try not to put you to sleep. Now let's see who made it through Monday." She returns to her desk and starts to call names off a list for attendance. <<if $metClaire>>You hadn't noticed her before, but one of the first names called is Claire from lunch yesterday. <</if>><<if !$eatenByBetty and $metBetty>><<if $metClaire>>As she continues down the list, you also recognize Betty, sitting off on the right side of the room.<<else>>You recognize the name Betty as she continues down the list, the blonde haired girl sitting off on the right side of the room.<</if>><</if>> There are about five names that go unanswered by the time she finishes. "Hey, that's actually pretty good as far as it goes! Well done everyone!" Professor Bora beams. "I'll go through this part quick so you guys can get out a little early. It's the twenty-first century, you all know computers right? Right. I know you'll trash paper copies right away anyways, so you can find the syllabus on the online portal. You need any info on the class or want to know when you can find me outside of class, you'll find it there! The only thing that's probably any different than your other classes is that there's a required textbook." Some groans rise up from the class. "//But//, you can also find a pdf of that in our section online--you're welcome. We don't use half the thing anyways." Most of the class lets out a sigh of relief. "So!" Bora says, turning on the projector. "In this class, we'll be learning about the human body on a more scientific level. If you have friends at more typical colleges that are also taking A&P, don't bother trying to compare notes! This is still MVA, so we'll almost entirely be focusing on the digestive system and the mechanics that make this little thing we call vore possible for women in the first place," she explains. The projector has fully booted up by now, displaying a diagram of the human digestive tract on the board. "Let's begin!" She starts by giving a very quick rundown of the different parts of the digestive system, then starts to go over each in a little more detail. It's still a pretty surface level overview, nothing you don't already know from high school, but she does throw in some fun facts more directly relevant to what you're learning, like how much an average woman's throat can comfortably stretch to accomodate prey.

It seems smart to head back to your dorm first to<<if ($emmaRel > 2) or $emmaInjured>> check in on Emma<<else>> kill a bit of time<</if>>. On your way back, however, it occurs to you that you also have plenty of time to try and snag yourself a more filling meal before class. And just as this thought comes to mind, you notice one of the other girls that's leaving the class pass by you with a worried expression on her face, looking pretty distracted. Could be a good opportunity.

You unlock the door and step inside. <<if $emmaInjured>>You find Emma sitting on her bed, in the middle of wrapping her arm with a bandage. You get a glimpse of what the actual damage is for the first time: Pretty much the entire underside of her forearm is a bright, reddish-pink color, with a few small patches where it looks like it's peeling or bubbling. Her eyes also look like they're watering. "You doing okay?" you ask, setting your stuff down and sitting on your own bed. "Oh $name, hey," she says, her smile a little stunted. "I'm actually doing pretty good! Showering with this was just rough, it was stinging like crazy... I don't know how I did it yesterday, I must have been in shock or something," she continues, looking at her burned arm. "But look, most of it is pretty healed already, that stuff the nurse gave me is like magic! Other than my arm, this spot on my leg and another<<if $emmaRel > 3>> on my ass<<else>>... somewhere else<</if>>, is all that still needs to be covered." "That's great! I'm glad you're feeling better." "Oh, but uh, good thing you're here actually. Can you help with this?" she asks, nodding at her arm. "The nurse gave me more burn cream and said to put it on the wrap first when I reapply, but it's really hard to do all that one handed..." "Of course," you say, walking over to her. You kneel down and take the loose end of the bandage and the tube of burn cream from her. "Thanks..." she sighs. "Even if I squirm a little make sure you do it pretty tight." You nod and get to work, slowly wrapping her arm up with the bandage. She looks a little embarrassed and winces every time you go over the burned area. You try to move gingerly, but also ensure you're making a firm seal as she requested. "<<if $emmaRel > 3>>So, do you think you're ready to go out and get lunch at the dining hall? I can probably find a way to bring you back some food if you'd rather,<<else>>Do you want to get lunch after this is set?<</if>>" you ask after an uncomfortable silence. "Yeah, let's do it," she says. "I can't stay cooped up just cause I had one rough day." You smile at the determined look she gives you. It doesn't take much longer for you to finish with her arm. She stretches her fingers out, then makes a fist and smiles. "Looks good, thanks a ton $name!" she says, getting onto her feet. She picks up her bag and grabs her phone from where it was charging. You notice her seem to catch her reflection in the screen and her smile fades to a more neutral expression. She quickly stows it and runs a hand through her hair. "Ready when you are."<<else>>As you step in you hear the shower running, and notice that Emma's bed is empty. She must have just gotten up for the day. Your suspicions are quickly confirmed as you start to faintly hear her singing over the sounds of the water. Quietly closing the door behind you, you put down your bag and sit on your bed to wait for her to finish. After a few minutes, the bathroom door swings open and out she comes, wearing only a towel and still singing her song, making it a few steps into the room before noticing you. She jumps a little and her face flushes red. "Oh, $name, Hi!" she blurts out, grabbing the front of her towel with one hand and hurrying over to her dresser. "You're back early, I thought you had a class until eleven?" "Yeah, but Professor Bora let us out early," you reply. "<<if $emmaRel > 2>>Oh, well that's a relief, I thought maybe something happened.

"<<if $emmaRel > 2>>Exactly what I was thinking!<<else>>Sure!<</if>>" she answers with a smile, before disappearing into the bathroom. A couple minutes later she steps back out, wearing a familiar getup--a blue tank top and orange shorts.<<if $emmaRel > 2>> "Are you sure you own more than one outfit?" you tease. "Hey! I'm saving the good stuff for when I'm more confident no one's going to ruin them," she says with a halfhearted pout.

"No you won't," Sarah giggles. "Aww, you're right, I couldn't," Alesha replies. She crouches down a little to help Sarah dismount. "You made a great umbrella, but please." "Fiiiine," Sarah says, carefully sliding off onto the ground. Her back is practically soaked, much worse than you fared, but her front side is completely dry. She lets her hair down out of her bun and shakes her head, splattering you with a few drops of water. "Okay, let's eat!" she says, prancing over to the buffet line.

The rain is fairly light, so you're still mostly dry by the time you reach the door. Most of the tables are empty and only a few other girls are getting food. It is a little early for lunch. In fact, you remember as you're going through the buffet line that it's technically between meal times at the moment. All that's set out for you is leftover breakfast food. You aren't too bothered by that, fixing yourself a second helping of french toast and heading to one of the many open seats. The hall gradually starts to become more active as you eat, though you don't notice anyone you're all that familiar with. You enjoy your meal in peace, keeping an eye on the time. When you're finished with your food, you get up to head for class a little early rather than hanging around in the crowded hall. <<if ($freshCoupleRel < 0) and ($lockerChandra is "none")>>[[Head to class->After Lunch]]<<else>>[[Head to class->September 3rd- Survival]]<</if>><<if $fullness is 0>><<set $stamina += 8>><<set $stamina to Math.clamp($stamina, 0, $staminaMax)>><</if>>

"Hey, I remember you!" Sarah says, crossing her arms. "You totally ruined the first day." "Yeah, you really hurt Sare, jerk!" Alesha chimes in, wrapping an arm around Sarah protectively.

"Well, don't you have anything to say?" Alesha says. \ <<link "Sorry?">><<replace "#choice">>"Uh, sorry I messed up your day? I didn't mean to, I just didn't want to die." You give a halfhearted smile and a little shrug. Miraculously, Sarah immediately claps her hands together and smiles. "Thank you! No one ever apologizes for these things," she says. "I forgive you! Just be nicer in the future." "You //do// remember that you... you know what nevermind, I'm glad we cleared this up," you reply. Alesha's face scrunches up a little and she looks down at Sarah, seemingly as surprised as you were that it was that easy. But she just gives a little nod and shrugs. You get the feeling she was only really mad for Sarah's sake. "Well, I guess we'll probably see you around<<if $freshCoupleRel is -1>>, $name<</if>>," she says. The two turn back around and continue on their way down the hall. <<Couple 1>> You let them get further away from you, then continue on your way to class, still a little confused by the exchange.

Sarah says, her whole body drooping a little. "I just thought it would be nice to make it up to you." "It's okay baby, we don't have to worry about her.

Uh, It's time for us to get started!" she says in a peppy voice. She has a smooth, tan complexion, short blonde hair, and green eyes. You notice that she's fidgeting with a bracelet she has on and her stance is tight. "I'm Professor Steria! You can call me Penelope if you'd like! You don't have to be all formal if you don't want to... Oh right, the syllabus!" She hurries over to her desk to grab a stack of papers, then starts to walk around handing them out. "Welcome to Survival everyone! It's a pretty blunt name for the class, I know, but<<if $ateGina>>--ah, perfect! Basically, I'll be teaching you how to not end up like this!" she says, stopping at your desk.

About a third of the students called were absent. "Um, but don't worry about that! That's why we're here! Does anyone have any questions about the class before I get started?" "How is this different from Escapism?" a girl at the front of the room asks. "Good question! Um, they're kind of like sister classes: Escapism is about getting out of a predator's stomach, while this class is about avoiding ending up there in the first place!" Steria explains. "We'll be having a couple classes over in the sports complex over the course of the semester for some athletic training. Any other questions?" When no one else raises their hands, she jumps into her lecture for the day. The first unit is all about staying aware of danger and getting a good read on people's intentions. For today, she just goes over the benefits and potential risks of staying in big groups, then to end off the class she shows a video about common techniques predators use to get you somewhere isolated so they can make their move. It seems more entertaining than educational, showing pretty over the top demonstrations of various situations, but you're not complaining. One thing that somewhat shocks you is the girl who played the predator in the first skit seems to be legitimately digesting the girl she ate throughout the rest of the video. The rest of the prey characters are let out after showing the "what not to do" side of things if they get eaten, but the first one never appears again and the girl that ate her has a gradually smaller belly every time she shows up.<<if $emmaInjured>> Emma seems to be very uncomfortable watching it.<</if>><<if $samRel > 0>> You can't help laughing a little when you realize that one of the scenarios they show is almost identical to what Sam pulled on Anita on the first day. You look back at her and find that she's also very amused by the similarity, especially with how hopelessly stupid they made the girl in Anita's position out to be. <</if>> "Okay, so, that's it for today! I thought that would be a fun way to start things off," Professor Steria says when the video wraps up. "I hope you learned something, have a wonderful day!" <<if $eatenByBetty and ($samRel > 0)>>Seeing all the different scenarios of predators on the hunt got the gears in your head turning. As soon as class is dismissed, you look back at Sam, who thankfully seems not to be in much of a rush to get out.

When you play the role of prey, do not resist or struggle against your partner while they are swallowing you. When you are the predator, be quick and professional about it. Teasing and unnecessary groping will not be tolerated. Most importantly, each of you will be required to take one of these high-grade antacids." She slams a large pill bottle onto the desk in front of her. "It will completely neutralize your stomach acid and slow the entire digestive process for a minimum of two hours. This ensures that no one will be harmed in any way during the exercise." Slate starts to slowly make her way through the room providing everyone with one of the antacid tablets.

Before you can get too comfortable, she makes you get up and move to the back corner of the classroom so you can "survey the whole class"<<if $emmaInjured>>, sending Emma to the front instead to keep the two of you from distracting each other<</if>>. You sigh and lean forward in your new desk, one hand holding your chin while the other idly plays with the plush flesh of your bloated belly. This is going to be a long, boring class. You watch as your classmates all swallow each other down, leaving you<<if $emmaInjured>>, Emma,<</if>> and Slate as the only ones in the room without large, squirming bellies. Some look excited, others look very uncomfortable with the situation. A lot of strange noises fill the air with so many ongoing struggles in one room. <<if $minaEnd is "alive">>There's one person you're actually interested in watching, and coincidentally she's in the only group that's lagging behind the rest of the class. Mina was chosen to be pred first in her pair up, and that's something you need to see. She's clearly struggling to even get her partner down, the girl's whole lower body still hanging out of her mouth after everyone else is already settled. You can see her frustration at the situation just by the way her legs flail. Eventually the tiny girl is able to struggle through it, dragging down her partner's legs a few inches at a time with strained gulps until she finally disappears into her dangerously bloated stomach, though not before getting Slate's attention. Mina is breathing heavily, sitting on the ground with a hand resting on top of her gut. It's massive compared to her, and seems to be hugging her prey tighter than most with how defined the bulges are. Naturally, almost immediately after you see any movement at all from her prey, Mina's stomach gives up and she's launched back into the room barely a minute after she left. Slate scolds her for being no help at all to her partner, but with a sigh lets them switch roles already. Watching Mina as prey is disheartening. She goes down incredibly easily, and her partner seems completely unphased when she starts to struggle, maybe even bored. Slate is similarly unimpressed and leaves her to try and get out for the rest of the period, even though she'd said it would only last half an hour at most. By the time she's finally let out, it almost looks like her partner could have forgotten she was in there. Mina herself has a pretty blank expression and seems to be deep in thought. You want to go talk to her, but when Slate dismisses the class she has Mina stay to talk with her at her desk. You'll have to catch up some other time. You hadn't noticed her slip out, but Emma seems to have already left while you were focused on Mina. <<elseif !$emmaInjured>>You can't help yourself from being drawn to watching Emma during the period. She starts off as prey and is clearly not pleased about it, closing her eyes and looking away as she offers her partner her hands. <<if $emmaRel > 2>>You're relieved to see her putting<<else>>She puts<</if>> up a very good fight, her partner nearly losing her balance as soon as some activity kicks up in her belly. It only takes ten minutes or so before she earns back her freedom--Slate looks almost impressed as she jots something down on her clipboard. When it's her turn to be the predator, she almost seems //more// uncomfortable, though it could just be that she's now coated in residue from being inside a stomach. She hesitates to the point of annoying her partner before finally getting it over with and swallowing her down. She's clearly flustered the whole time her partner is inside her, looking like she's trying not to pay attention to her own gut most of the time. You aren't sure if her partner is just bad or if she's better than her reluctance would imply, but she makes it the full thirty minutes without her prey escaping and has to let her out. After taking a little bit to recover, she comes back over to meet up with you. Her clothes and hair are still a little damp from her earlier time as prey and she faintly smells like vomit, but it's not as noticeable as you would have expected. "You know, you looked pretty cute with a big belly," you tease. "<<if $emmaRel > 3>>Sh-<</if>>Shut up," she says with a shy smile. "Let's get out of here so I can shower..." You start to get up, but Slate immediately stops you. "Miss $last, you are not dismissed until the entire class is finished," she commands with a glare. You drop back into your seat and sigh. "Ouch, she's really not happy with you," Emma says. "...I'm still gonna go, I feel gross. See you in a little bit!" "Yeah, see ya..." you sigh. You sit bored at your desk for another fifteen minutes or so before finally being dismissed.<<elseif $metAlice>>In your boredom, you find your attention turning to Alice and her partner. She's starting as the predator and clearly being too aggressive about it. Even after Slate comes and scolds her into being more passive, her prey doesn't seem to be able to do much to her and ends up needing to be let out. <<if $aliceRel < 0>>Next comes what you're really interested in seeing. <</if>>She's not at all happy to be playing the role of prey and gives her partner some kind of lecture before finally stepping up and letting herself get eaten. She starts to thrash the instant her body enters the girl's belly, but it still takes her almost the full time to force her partner to spit her up. She looks ready to kill the girl that ate her when she comes out. Once everyone is finished, Slate dismisses the class and you're finally freed from sitting and doing nothing, though you do feel like you learned a little from your observation. You hadn't noticed her slip out, but Emma seems to have already left while you were focused on Alice.<<else>>You spend the class watching everyone else practice, not focusing on anyone in particular and quickly becoming very bored. You notice that Slate goes to talk to Emma for a little while early in the class, but she leaves you banished to isolation in the back of the room.

It hadn't even crossed your mind that Mina could be the one you'd end up going inside.

Just a light, refreshing drizzle splashes on you while you cross over to the sports complex. Inside, it seems like this isn't the most popular time to hit the gym. The building is pretty much empty. You make your way up the stairs. There's a group of people in the weight room, most of them looking more like they're just talking than actually using the equipment. However, the track is completely empty, so you decide that<<if $workedOut > 0>> this time<</if>> you're going to do some laps. You stop at the edge of the track and stretch out a bit before getting started, then do some simple warmups. Once you're ready, you set a timer on your phone and start to run.

It's actually pretty peaceful, just looping around with the track all to yourself while you watch the light outside slowly fade. After over a dozen laps, a few of which were at least partially walked so you could catch your breath, you finally come to a stop, panting hard and covered in sweat. You do a few stretches, then do one more walking lap as a cooldown before deciding to head back to your dorm. <<Workout>>Contrast to your warm skin, your belly feels oddly cool, and you're feeling lighter on your feet than earlier. @@color:lime;You must have lost weight!@@<<if $counter is 1>> Unfortunately, your bra also feels like it isn't fitting quite right anymore. @@color:red;That weight had to come from somewhere.@@<</if>> [[Turn in for the night->September 3rd- Night]]

You're glad you did, as you notice that you have an email from the president of tabletop club. It's about creating your character: //"Hey all! Thanks for joining my little club, I hope you're excited to begin your adventure! I've got some important information for you and your fellow party members: you need to have your character ready before club tomorrow! Usually, we spend the first day getting to know each other and making characters as a group, but this year I have big plans for our campaign and we'll need all the time we can get. So you'll need to be ready to dive right in tomorrow! I've attached a whole bunch of resources to this email so you know what system we're using and what all your options are. Have fun with it, but don't get too crazy! If you have any questions, feel free to message me! We meet at 4:30 tomorrow in Room 108. Looking forward to seeing what characters you come up with! ~Your DM, Morgan <3"// You take a look through the resources she provided, thinking about what you want your character to be. You spend an hour or so coming up with a few different possibilities, but you need to settle on just one. Your first idea is to go with a pretty basic human knight, straightforward and simple. But then you got to thinking that maybe that would get boring after a while, and it might be more fun to play as a magic user. You put some thought into an elf mage character, before realizing that she's actually given you a lot of pretty interesting race options. From the list, what stands out to you the most is the potential to be a naga, and around that time you get to thinking playing more of a supporting role could be fun. You weigh your options, not sure what you want to go with. <<link "Play as a human knight">><<replace "#character">><<set $dungeonCharacter to "human">>You finally settle on going back to your initial idea of a human knight.

<<Time 16.75>><<set $day3DormKey to "used">>You decide that the time is right to have a little fun with the key you picked up. Barging right into their dorm should make for a pretty easy dinner. "Hey, I've gotta go meet up with someone, I'll see you later!" you say to Emma with a devious smile as you get up to head to the door. "Alright, have fun!" Emma replies. "<<if $emmaRel > 3>>And stay safe! <</if>>See ya!" You step out into the hall and head for the stairs, pulling the key out to get a better look at it again. It's labeled "L207", so it must be in Lampton. That makes things a bit sketchier--the last thing you want is to barge in on an upperclassman--but you're pretty positive you remember from the tour that 207 should be a freshman dorm. You think about how you want to approach this as you cross the bridge. There's two people to a dorm, so you'll have to be careful to get a feel for who's there before going in. Although since the key was abandoned, you feel pretty confident its original owner isn't around anymore and you'll only have their roommate to deal with. The hall is empty as you approach the door to Room 207. Since there's no one around to notice you being suspicious, you creep up and hold your ear close to the door. It doesn't sound like anyone's there. Perfect. You carefully slide the key into the lock and turn it, a little relieved to find that it does actually work. You push the door open slightly and peek inside--it really is empty. With much less caution, you throw open the door and let yourself in, making sure to lock it again behind you so that it isn't suspicious when they get back. The dorm is pretty plain. Both beds are made, one much messier than the other, but beyond that it doesn't seem like the occupants did much to make it their own. They don't even have a TV. You sneak back into the bathroom to make sure you really are alone, and sure enough it's empty. While you're there, you decide that it would be a smart place to wait and ambush them. However, after waiting ten minutes or so you get bored and start to snoop around the room. From what you can gather, the girls that live here are Jackie and Karen, the messier side of the room belonging to Karen. You don't quite stoop to digging through all their stuff, but you spend time investigating anything that's out in the open. It occurs to you after nearly an hour has passed that its possible //both// the girls from this dorm got themselves eaten and no one's going to be coming back. A bit disappointing to miss out on your dinner plans, but having a second room all to yourself wouldn't be a total loss. The sound of someone unlocking the door snaps you out of your train of thought and you quickly rush into the bathroom and out of sight. "Finally, I thought she'd never stop talking," you hear the girl say as she enters the room. "Karen, you in here? Still no? Figures. 'Least that means the bathroom's free." She sighs and you hear the sound of a bag dropping onto the floor, then footsteps coming closer. <<link "Now's your chance...">> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to false>> <<set _baseline to 8>> <<set _modifier to 2>> <<set $stamina -= 5>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto "Dorm Raid- Eat Jackie">> <<else>> <<goto "Dorm Raid- Botched">> <</if>> <</link>> <<link "Now's your chance...

<<Time 21>><<set $nadiaInfo2 to 1>>The sounds of the party grow faint and gradually disappear entirely as Nadia carries you off down the hall. Her stomach groans and you can feel the acid level starting to rise. Just as you're thinking of starting to fight, or at least voicing your concern, Nadia speaks up. "We're almost there, just hang on a little longer~" she whispers, gently stroking you through her stomach. The bouncing from her footsteps grows more intense--she must be going upstairs. You take a deep breath, deciding to keep trusting her for now. "So, how did you manage to be the one to eat me? No one else even tried to step up." "Heh, I just went around and cashed in a few favors," Nadia says. You hear the sound of her unlocking a door. "You'd be amazed what people will do for you if you just eat them out every now and then." "Ah..." You hear the door slam shut behind you. She seems to walk pretty deep into the room before coming to a stop. "Alright darling, we're here~" she says, running a hand down your back. "Heh, what would you do if I didn't let you out?" "What!?" you shout, immediately shoving your arms out. "Haha //*urp*// relax, I'm about to do it," she giggles. You're about to start struggling anyway, but she keeps her word and starts pushing in on you from the outside. Shortly after, her stomach clamps down on you and a tight, rhythmic pressure gradually forces you back up her throat. You slide out from between her lips and onto the cold floor, soaked in digestive fluids and a bit of her leftover dinner. Sitting up and looking around, you find that you're in her shower. "Hope you enjoyed the ride~" she says, standing over you with a hand on her hip. "Go ahead and rinse off so you don't smell so bad, use the lilac soap. I'll be waiting outside.~" "Wait, can I have a change of clothes?" you ask. "You won't need them," Nadia replies with a wink, heading out into the main room. You blush, excited but not sure you're entirely prepared for what you've gotten yourself into. You quickly strip off your clothes and toss them in the trash. Nothing special enough to bother trying to recover from their acid bath. You close the shower curtain over and turn on the water, letting the warm liquid wash over you. The scent of bile is quickly replaced by the lilac fragrance she requested as you rinse yourself off. You try scrubbing for a while, but you can't quite get the X on your face to wash off, just fade a little. Anxious excitement starts to grow in your chest as you reach the point that you feel thoroughly clean. Somewhat hesitantly, you turn off the water and dry off, slowly walking over to the door. [[Time to do this...->Nadia's Promise- Sex]]

<<if $eatenByZoeyMulti>>You push the thought out of your mind. You can't sacrifice someone else just because things aren't looking great for you. While you sit and try to figure out a plan of action, <<if $preyHealth is 10>>Bella<<else>>Madison<</if>> looks between you and Zoey staring at each other, then over at Claire. Cautiously, she takes a few steps into the circle. When Zoey doesn't react, she quickly hurries in, grabs a bottle, and gets out. Unfortunately, this also tips Sadie off as to what's going on, and she quickly darts in for the last bottle before you can even make an attempt at getting past her. Zoey just grins as Sadie walks off with your last hope of salvation. "God //DAMN// it," Maeve growls. A few people near her flinch and take a step back. "You can't do fucking anything right, can you? What was supposed to be entertaining about that, fatass?" She marches up and grabs Zoey's face. For the first time, you're pretty sure you see fear in her eyes. "This was your last chance to be useful to me, freak. Next time you even //slightly// annoy me I'm going to make you //beg// for me to digest you. Now eat her and get the hell out of my sight." Maeve pushes her head away, Zoey almost stumbling over backwards. The party is dead silent as Maeve storms off toward the table with the alcohol. You're a little stunned yourself, realizing too late that you probably could have used that as an opportunity to escape. Zoey quickly regains her composure and comes for you with a menacing look on her face. The other freshman look on in fear as she grabs the front of your shirt and pulls you close. You try to push her off, but she just grabs one of your arms. When you try to break her grip, she twists it, sending a wave of pain through your arm. Finished playing around, she shoves your arms into her mouth, immediately starting to swallow you down. She forces you down with frightening aggression, pushing you into her mouth at the same time she swallows like she can't wait to pack you away. Your body squeezes into her stomach, your arms getting caught at odd angles from the speed of your entry. Luckily, the ordeal is at least over quickly. Just seconds after your face slid across her tongue, she pushes your feet through her lips. "//*UUUUURRRP*// Finally, back where you belong," she says. She pushes in hard on the front of her gut, briefly squeezing you tight between the walls. You frantically squirm inside her, doing everything you can to shift into a new position. Your quick entry left you face down in the mix of alcohol and digestive fluids filling her stomach. You manage to right yourself just in time for her to start moving, her footsteps shaking the chamber around you.\ <<else>><<if $preyName is "Bella">>\ "Sounds like a good plan," you reply. "How about we flank her? Both go in at the same time from opposite sides, one of us distracting while the other gets their bottle." "Yeah... Yeah, that sounds smart!" Bella says. "This might work. You've definitely got my back, right?" "As long as you've got mine," you reply. "I'll go around, then run in on my signal." You walk around the outside of the circle until you're roughly on the opposite side, Zoey watching you as you go. After pausing to mentally prepare, you lock eyes with Bella and nod. You cautiously start to walk in, Bella following your lead. Zoey looks back and forth between you, grinning. You take a few quick steps forward, then jump back when she lunges at you. While Zoey takes the bait, Bella rushes in to grab one of the bottles. Zoey spins around to grab her, but Bella narrowly avoids her clutches. You take the opportunity to run for your own bottle, but right as you grab it, Zoey grabs you, squeezing your arm painfully tight. "Shit, wait, uh... Look over here fatty!" Bella shouts, stepping slightly back into the circle. "Why would I do that?" Zoey sneers, yanking you up and grabbing your other arm. "I've already got my meal." Bella looks around as if someone else might help, then her shoulders sag. She gives you an apologetic look, then steps back out of the circle, your hope of rescue lost.\ <<elseif $preyName is "Madison">>\ "Sounds like a plan," you reply. "How about we both run in together, then split up when we get close? That should throw her off. Whoever gets their bottle first can try and keep her distracted for the other." Madison gives you a pretty blank expression and blinks. "Yeah sure," she finally says, punctuating her statement with a small burp. You take a deep breath, then nod at Madison with a reassuring smile. She seems super out of it, so this should be a piece of cake. She nods back and you both run forward into the circle. When you get close to Zoey, rather than splitting up like you promised, you start to lunge toward Madison. However, she evidently had the same plan, and beat you to the punch. As soon as you turn, you feel her push you forward towards Zoey. "Hah..! I'm //*urP*// drunk, not stupid!" she says, pumping a fist in the air as Zoey grabs you. "That plan was teeeerible if it was legit," she laughs, some of the crowd laughing with her. She stumbles back out of the circle without even bothering to grab one of the bottles.\ <<else>>\ Ignoring her, you decide to take your chances with Claire's strategy. Taking a deep breath, you rush forward toward another open bottle. You keep your eyes on Zoey as you move. She grunts and gets a big grin on her face, shifting to block your path. You sidestep, lunging for the other bottle instead. Just as you think you've pulled it off, Zoey grabs the back of your shirt and pulls you back. "Like two of you could pull that off," she sneers. You push back against her, but she just grabs your arms and forces them back against your sides, squeezing tight. @@color:orange;You were too slow.@@\ <</if>> "I told you you'd be mine," Zoey says with a wicked grin. There's nothing you can think to say in response as she opens her mouth wide. You try to resist her, but she has you completely locked down. A warm, wet sensation consumes you as your head is plunged into her maw. She immediately swallows, pushing you down into her throat as your shoulders slide between her lips. You can hear the party cheering for your demise, the sound muffled a bit by the slimy flesh surrounding you. Your body slides further and further into hers, greedily dragged down by her throat, until you come to an abrupt stop with your head in her stomach and her tongue tickling your navel. She grabs your waist tight. You start to flail as she decides to pull down your <<if $outfit is "uniform">>skirt<<else>>shorts<</if>>. Feeling that she's not stopping there, you give an outraged cry and start to kick your legs even harder. The crowd just cheers her on as she slides off your panties, completely exposing you to the rest of the party. She gives your bare ass a hard smack, then resumes her swallowing. She finishes you off quickly and aggressively, forcing your legs down her throat as you're packed into the tight, humid confines of her gut in a matter of seconds. "//*BRRRUUUUP*// Delicious~" she laughs.<<if $fat > 30>> "And filling."<</if>> She gives the side of her gut a hard smack, shaking you around. The walls of her stomach are already pretty active, eagerly kneading against you. The distinct scent of alcohol fills the chamber, likely coming from the pool of liquid around your feet. "And there we have it, round two over!" Maeve announces. "Now get the hell out of here, Pierce." "Whatever, I got what I wanted," Zoey sneers. She smacks you again for good measure, then you feel your whole world begin bouncing around as she starts walking.\ <</if>> You hear the booming of the party music kick back in over the groans coming from her stomach, only for it to slowly fade away again as she makes her exit from the party. Taking a deep breath to calm your nerves, you start to make a concentrated effort against the walls of her stomach. You kick and push and thrash, doing anything you can to upset her. Using this time where she's on the move may be your only shot. Or, maybe you never had one. She squeezes her stomach muscles tight, painfully compressing your body and putting a stop to your movements. "//*URP*// Don't think for even a second you're getting out of there<<if $eatenByZoey>> without your buddy<</if>>," Zoey laughs. The shaking of her gut intensifies--she must be heading upstairs. "But keep squirming if you want, it feels great. And that's all you're really good for.~" You ignore her taunting, continuing to struggle against your fate. The walls seem indifferent to your plight, the slimy flesh sliding and squeezing against you like you were any other meal. By the time she makes it back to her room, you're completely exhausted. "//Mmmhmm//, I hope that's not all you've got," she moans. She places her hands on either side of her belly and pushes in on you hard. You cry out as the pressure becomes unbearable, but she keeps going for a few more seconds before easing up, letting out a massive belch in the process. You squirm a little more, but quickly become disoriented as your world turns on its side and something slams down on top of you. As her arms wrap around you, it becomes clear that she's now laying on her gut. She squeezes in with her arms and starts to push down onto you harder. The steadily building acids in her stomach splash up around you, coming close to submerging your head. "How's it feel in there?" she moans. You can feel yourself getting lightheaded from the pressure and fumes. "I wonder how long you can hold out.~" The answer, evidently, is not very long. You try to push back and give yourself some room, but your arms are too weak to resist the crushing weight. She starts to rock back and forth on top of you, but the sensation quickly dulls as your consciousness starts to fade. A part of you is almost happy that you won't be awake for whatever else she has planned. <<include "Life Lost">>

<<Time 22.75>>"Before we close things out by rewarding our winner, we have to deal with the losers," Maeve says, looking over at you and Sadie. You've been positioned next to each other at the front of the room. "That includes a special surprise for our freshman here! Second place gets out of this without getting digested too!" she announces, gesturing towards Sadie with a grin. "You'll get to choose one of our lovely hosts to spend the night in, and they'll let you out tomorrow morning... if they remember." "Third place isn't so lucky, but you still get a special honor," Maeve says with a grin, walking behind you and placing her hands on your shoulders. "You get eaten by //me//." You breathe in sharply and your eyes go wide. Your skin starts to crawl where she's touching you, but you know there's no way out of this. The crowd starts to chant Maeve's name and she tightens her grip a bit. <<if $samInfo1 > 1>>"Uh h-hang on! I'm friends with Sam, she's your sister right?" you blurt out. Worth a shot. Maeve just tightens her grip even more. "Way too late to bring that up, even if it's true," she grunts. <</if>>You feel her quickly shift her hands down to your armpits and you're hoisted into the air. She shoves your head into her mouth, her teeth grazing your nose as you're forced into the humid depths of her body. You're quickly racing down her throat and stretching out her stomach, her experience made dangerously clear as she effortlessly gulps you down. In what feels like mere seconds, she's forcing your legs into her mouth and snapping her jaws shut around your feet. You're sealed within the slimy confines of her stomach, pushed into the accommodating walls so quickly that you're still positioned upside down. You wince as Maeve gives you a firm smack, then belches. The crowd goes into an uproar. "Alright, calm your tits," Maeve chuckles. "We've still gotta deal with loser number two! Now, we're gonna need some volunt--" "ME! I'll take her!" a muffled voice cries. "Please, I called dibs way at the start!" "You know what? Fuck it, I like the dedication. You actually don't get a choice Sadie, go with her," Maeve laughs. "YES!" the girl shouts. "See I promised I'd be the one to take care of you! Come on, come on, we need to be somewhere private for where you're going!~" "And now, finally, Claire! Donna, Brit, tie her up while I go get the arm," Maeve says. Your world starts to gently bounce with her footsteps as she walks off, the sounds of the party quieting. You squirm and push against the walls of her stomach, doing what you can to reposition yourself. A thick soup of party snacks, alcohol, and stomach acid accompanies you inside of her, not leaving you much room to breathe with your head at the bottom. Luckily, the slick flesh around you stretches pretty readily and you're able to twist yourself back upright. It's still cramped, but you find you actually have a tiny bit of breathing room rather than being forced into a tight ball. "Let me out!" you shout. You start to thrash and fight against the walls with all the strength you can manage. You have your doubts that you can get out of a senior's stomach, especially //this// senior, but if you can manage it, now, while she's away from the rest of the party, would be the time. "I played along with your stupid games, I don't deserve this!" Maeve doesn't respond at all, nor does she seem to be affected by your struggling. You feel her come to a stop, and your prison is compressed as she bends over to grab something. You strike back against the extra pressure, giving a particularly hard jab to the flesh above you. Maeve chuckles a little, standing back upright a few seconds later. "It's cute that you think you have any chance of breaking out," she says, grabbing the sides of her gut. She pushes in hard and moves her hands around in a sort of circular motion. It's simultaniously disorienting and oddly soothing as she pushes the slimy surface against you. "You were doomed as soon as someone got their hands on you to bring here. You should be grateful I gave you a chance at surviving in the first place." "Well, I hit hard enough to get your attention," you grunt. You immediately regret it as her stomach muscles clamp down hard. You're crushed by the walls around you, the wet flesh twitching as it wraps you tight. "Oh, you want to play for real, huh?" she says. The walls pulse even tighter a few times as she toys with you. You're getting lightheaded by the time she finally relaxes her muscles. You feel her sit down on something and lean back as you cough and sputter, gasping for the rancid air inside her. Outside, she rests one of her hands on the upper half of her belly, right about where your head is. You shift a little, pushing your arms and legs out to brace yourself. As soon as she feels any movement, however, the walls crash back in. Except this time something feels off. There's a groan from below you, followed by a strange //*glorp*// sound. The liquid surrounding you starts to drain and you feel a shifting sensation around your feet. Maeve presses down with her hand and a tight pressure grips your ankles. You suddenly realize what's happening--she's pushing you deeper! Smoother, much tighter walls start to grip your legs as your body is forced through the sphincter in her stomach. You try to resist and push out with your arms, but you're helpless as your body slides out of her stomach and down into her intestines. All manner of squishing and gurgling rings out through her body as you're packed into the tight passage of flesh. The walls are slick with the chyme that exited her stomach along with you, kneading the boiling liquid into you as they gently drag you deeper. "Mmm, maybe I've had too much to drink, I normally wouldn't bother putting any effort into a freshman," Maeve laughs. She strokes her belly as you're pulled through her guts. You start to squirm again in a panic, and suddenly the movement of her intestinal walls slows to a stop. Then, they start to drag you in the opposite direction with much harsher, less fluid bursts of pressure. Before long your face slams back into a tight ring of muscle, the next push forcing it through as your body is thrust back into her stomach. It feels even more active than before, a fresh pool of acid already waiting for you and the walls aggressively writhing against you. A loud groan shakes through the walls. "//*Urp*// They teach that little trick in Advanced Predation, too bad you'll never get to that point," Maeve says. She gives her gut a hard smack, then stands back up. "I assume you're done now, but it doesn't really matter." You feel weak and disoriented, vaguely aware of the sounds of the party growing loud again. Her punishment has left you completely drained. You could barely muster any more resistance even if you dared to try. Maeve starts to say something to the crowd at the party, but at this point even her voice is hard to focus on. Her stomach churns and groans relentlessly, and you soon feel yourself drifting away under its efforts. <<include "Life Lost">>

<<Time 20.25>><<if $day3Workout>>You leave the sports complex, a little disappointed to find that the rain has completely stopped now that you're hot and sweaty. There are a few other girls coming from the dining hall at the same time you're crossing the courtyard, but no one gives you any trouble as you make your way back to your room. Emma is inside when you arrive, lounging on her bed and looking through her phone. "Hey $name! How was the gym? You look exhausted," she says. "I am! It was good though," you reply. <<if $startFat > 20>>"Already feel like I've slimmed down!" "You do look a little different!"

"I'm gonna shower real quick."<</if>> You take a quick shower, just spending a few minutes washing off the sweat from your workout. When you're ready, you step out, dry off, and get changed. Since it's so late, you just grabbed your pajamas to change into. You head back out into the room and immediately drop back onto your bed and pull out your laptop.<<set $outfit to "pjs">><<else>>\ When you're finished in the bathroom, you head out into the hall, locking the door behind you. With a look of smug satisfaction on your face, you make your way back across the bridge and down to your own room, your belly bouncing and sloshing along with your footsteps. Emma is inside when you arrive, lounging on her bed and looking through her phone. "Oh, hey $name. I guess it's alright that I got dinner without you," she says<<if $emmaRel > 2>> with a slight laugh<</if>>. <<if $wardrobeLight>>"What's that bag for...?" "Hey Emma! Yeah, I had a friend of mine treat me to dinner," you say with a smirk, patting your gut. "This bag is just some of her stuff, we were in her room and it seemed like a waste to just leave it all sitting there. I grabbed some cute clothes, you can take a look and have some if you want!" "You... I //thought// that was a key you had earlier in class... $name, did you break into someone's room, eat them, and then rob them?" Emma says, her eyes narrowing and her jaw hanging open a bit. "<<if $emmaRel > 2>>Well, when you put it that way..." you say, suddenly realizing that you should have known Emma wouldn't be on board with this. You drop the bag next to your bed. "I mean, it's not like she could use any of this stuff anymore..."<<else>>Yeah? I thought it was a pretty good plan," you say, dropping the bag next to your bed. "It's not like anyone's gonna miss this stuff."<</if>> "I know but... it still feels gross that you would just immediately take it like that," Emma says. "And the stuff isn't even the main thing!

She doesn't seem super interested in chatting right now, but you don't think much of it.<</if>> You drop back onto your bed, the extra weight making it creak a little. Somehow, it actually feels a little less comfortable than Jackie's. You pull out your laptop and settle back into a comfortable position, resting one hand on your belly.<</if>> <<if $club is "dungeon">>As you start to get lost in the glow of your screen, you think to check in on your school accounts. You're glad you did, as you notice that you have an email from the president of tabletop club. It's about creating your character: //"Hey all! Thanks for joining my little club, I hope you're excited to begin your adventure! I've got some important information for you and your fellow party members: you need to have your character ready before club tomorrow! Usually, we spend the first day getting to know each other and making characters as a group, but this year I have big plans for our campaign and we'll need all the time we can get. So you'll need to be ready to dive right in tomorrow! I've attached a whole bunch of resources to this email so you know what system we're using and what all your options are. Have fun with it, but don't get too crazy! If you have any questions, feel free to message me! We meet at 4:30 tomorrow in Room 108. Looking forward to seeing what characters you come up with! ~Your DM, Morgan <3"// You take a look through the resources she provided, thinking about what you want your character to be. You spend an hour or so coming up with a few different possibilities, but you need to settle on just one. Your first idea is to go with a pretty basic human knight, straightforward and simple. But then you got to thinking that maybe that would get boring after a while, and it might be more fun to play as a magic user. You put some thought into an elf mage character, before realizing that she's actually given you a lot of pretty interesting race options. From the list, what stands out to you the most is the potential to be a naga, and around that time you get to thinking playing more of a supporting role could be fun. You weigh your options, not sure what you want to go with. <<link "Play as a human knight">><<replace "#character">><<set $dungeonCharacter to "human">>You finally settle on going back to your initial idea of a human knight.

She stops and turns to you. "What's up?" She has a slight smirk on her lips and her eyes look a little tired. "I have a proposition for you. One that involves hunting someone down." "Interesting. Easy to understand why you'd come to me," she says with a grin. "Shoot." "Alright, so basically I pissed off these two girls on the first day, Alice and Betty. Both total bitches.

"I'm sure you can do it no problem! Though I guess because of what we're doing here I can't go easy on you once I'm in there, sorry." "It's alright, I understand. I would not want to impede your learning!" You see her shuffling back and forth on her feet a little. "Shall we get started, then?" "Yeah, uh, here," you say, holding up your hands to her face as a starting point. "Go ahead. It's your first time so take it slow, and you might want to sit down before you get too far since you won't be used to the extra weight." "Okay." She gingerly grips your hands. Her skin is incredibly soft. "I apologize if this hurts at all." She gently guides your hands to her open mouth and slides them in, dragging your fingers over the wet surface of her tongue. You're inched in further until your fingertips graze the back of her throat. Closing her eyes, she swallows as hard as she can. Your hands are dragged down into her esophagus, where they're massaged by the warm waves of peristalsis as her untrained throat feebly attempts to drag you down. It already feels tighter than it should. You notice Mina looking you over, perhaps realizing how significant of a task this is really going to be now that she's started. "There you go. Just, uh, keep swallowing, I'll go down..." you tell her. "Just focus on one little bit at a time if you're starting to worry." Mina gives a very slight nod, the best she can manage with your arms stuck in her mouth. She swallows again, pulling you a little deeper. With one more you're nearly elbow deep, with your face right in front of hers. Being this close, you're treated to the rare sight of both of her eyes. She grips your shoulders to pull you in, closes her eyes tight, and swallows hard, preparing to take in your head. With a little effort, you feel her lips wrap around the crown of your head, and soon enough your face is pulled into the soft, slimy flesh of her mouth. It's slow, but she continues to make progress without much issue. However, you begin to get a little concerned when you don't realize that you've reached her stomach until your arms start to forcibly curl up. It's extremely tight and the walls seem to tremble against the intrustion instead of accepting it. Nonetheless, she persists. <<if $breastSize > 17>>She seems to struggle for a while fitting your breasts in, but<<else>>She<</if>> manages to fit you about halfway in before pausing. She gently sits back onto the ground, leaning back and leaving your lower body hanging from her mouth at an odd angle. You feel her throat vibrate around you as she attempt to make some sort of sound. As she resumes swallowing, you try to help her out by gently wriggling your way inward. The more of you is packed into her, the more unbearably tight your surroundings start to get. You can feel that the walls are straining to accomodate you before your legs have even made it in. When she's finally down to just your feet, you can tell she's really struggling. Both of her hands are trying to soothe the bulge in her belly, and each attempt to swallow is making less than an inch of progress. The combination of your slow descent and supremely cramped confines is very uncomfortable, so you're relieved when she plants her hands on your soles and gives a determined push, finally sealing you entirely inside of her. After a couple more strained gulps, the last of you makes it down to her stomach and you curl up into a tight ball, feeling like you've been vacuum packed. "$name I--//*urp*!// Oh my, excuse me!" Mina says. She's breathing heavily at first, but seems to return to normal pretty quickly. "I really did it! I must say, this is rather uncomfortable. Are you alright in there $name?" "It's... very tight, but I'm fine," you reply. Her stomach groans in distress around you. "Good job! Just fitting someone bigger than you is impressive for your first time." "Thank you," she replies. You feel her give a very gentle pat to the top of her stomach. "Okay then, are you ready for me to start moving?" "I will try to be," she replies. You feel her hug her belly a little. You don't want to hurt her, but since this is a class exercise where Slate is judging your ability to escape, you can't really hold back all that much. That said, the extreme tightness of her stomach is actually making it difficult to move much at all--it could be harder to get out than you're expecting. <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "preyOptions">></div> <<done>><<addclass "#braceStruggle" "hide">><<addclass "#restStruggle" "hide">><<addclass "#allOutStruggle" "hide">><</done>>

As soon as you muster the strength to push out at all against the slick walls, a loud grumbling sound fills the chamber and you hear Mina whimper. It feels like a stretched rubber band snapping back into shape as you're suddenly very quickly forced back out of Mina's body and onto the classroom floor. "Ohhh, that wasn't fun at all," Mina says, coughing a little at the end. After you get your bearings from the sudden change of scenery, you sit up and look over at her. She's kneeling with her back hunched, both arms covering her stomach and her eye watering. "Why does everyone like it so much?" "Honestly Miss Long, is this a joke?" Professor Slate says. You hadn't noticed her standing over you. "That was an entirely useless experience for Miss $last." "I'm sorry ma'am!" Mina squeaks. "I'm afraid I'm not a very good predator..." "Technically I can't deduct any points for that shameful display in //this// class," Slate sighs. "<<if $eatenBySlate>>And I suppose I already have a measure of your skill from yesterday, Miss $last<<else>>I can't test you myself while I'm observing others, Miss $last, so I suppose I'll just mark you down as average for now<</if>>. You may switch places, but I'd like to speak with you after class, Miss Long." "Yes ma'am," Mina says with a nod. She doesn't look all that bothered by the turn of events. As Slate walks away to observe other groups, you and Mina both get back on your feet. "Are you okay? Sorry about that," you say, giving her an apologetic smile. You're a little damp from being inside her, but the combination of her weakened digestion and your very quick escape has left you much better off than usual. "Yes, I'm okay. I should be the one apologizing, I don't think you learned anything from that." "Well, I learned how it feels to be in a stomach that's way too small for me." Your joke doesn't register any response from Mina, not even a change in expression. "The professor instructed us to switch, so..." She gives you a determined look and holds her hands up in fists near her chest. "Eat me." "Uh... You're a little more excited than I was expecting," you say. You can't help smiling at her current stance. "Are you sure you're ready<<if $ateMina>> to go back in<</if>>?" "Absolutely! This is what I'm here for, and practice like this is the only way I'll improve!" She offers you her hands like you did for her. "Alright then, show me what you've got!" you laugh. Instead of going for her hands, you grab her armpits and lift her up. "I think this'll work better with you." Mina looks at you with her mouth slightly agape as you open yours to accept her head. You quickly shove her head in and swallow, sealing your lips around her neck. The least awkward way to handle this, you figure, is to get her down as quickly as possible. So you don't waste any time, constantly guiding more of her body into your mouth and swallowing as hard as you can. She goes down easy, not squirming even a little as her small form slides down your throat into your stomach. You pause to take off her boots before sending her feet to join the rest of her inside you. "Okay, you alright in there //*Urp*// Mina?" you ask, supporting your bulging belly from below. You're a little surprised to find that it does actually look noticeably smaller than your gut normally is after a meal, more like you've been digesting for a couple hours already. "Yes, I'm fine!" Mina's muffled voice responds. "It's strange in here, but <<if $ateMina>>much calmer than yesterday<<else>>very calm<</if>>." "Uh, good.

She's got a pretty average build and a simple outfit, just dark jeans and a grey and white shirt with the sleeves rolled up a little. Her auburn hair is tied into two long braids that rest against her chest. Covering her face is a pair of thick rimmed glasses and a splash of freckles. "Hey there, I'm Haley! This is kinda awkward huh?" she says to you when you reach her desk. "$name, nice to meet you. It's definitely a little weird, but we gotta do what we gotta do I guess." "Well, I think it's almost better to be paired with a complete stranger for something like this! Either this will be a fun story of how we first met, or we'll never talk to each other again, so there's not much to worry about!" she says with a big smile. "So I think she said you were first, right? So I'm eating you. You ready? I promise my stomach will play nice." "Uh, yeah... I guess it's probably best to just go for it," you reply. You can't say you're enthusiastic about willingly going into a random girl's gut, <<if $eatenByAlesha>>especially after so recently escaping from another's<<else>>even with the antacid in effect.<</if>> "Okay then! Just give me your hands and this'll be over before you know it!" Haley beams, reaching her hands out to take yours. "Let's get this over with," you sigh, offering her your hands. She's definitely trying to make good on her promise, immediately shoving your hands into her mouth and swallowing when you give them to her. You feel yourself rapidly getting pulled into her throat, sliding down the slick tube until your hands push through into her gut. The slimy chamber expands to accomodate you as more of your body makes its way in, first your head, then your chest. Her stomach seems calm, but you feel a mushy, thick liquid of some kind partially filling it alongside you. It doesn't hurt at all, but it is disgusting. Haley stops her swallowing for a moment with your legs in her mouth and carefully removes your shoes. Then she resumes her eager gulping, and soon you're completely sealed within the warmth of her body. "Ah, there we go! //*UUrp*// Not so bad right? How are you doing in there?" she asks, poking you through the side of her belly. Your world shakes and shifts a little as she sits back into a chair. "Oh and I hope it's okay I took your shoes off! The bottom of them looked dirty and I didn't want that inside me." "Well, I don't feel like I'm being digested or anything, so that's good. But I can't lie, it's pretty gross in here," you reply, still feeling some of the soupy substance clinging to your arms and hair after settling in. "Oh shoot, sorry! I ate lunch not that long before class, you're probably hanging out with what's left of my sandwich, huh? So sorry, I didn't really think about it!" "Great... Let's just get started." "Absolutely!

<<set $time to 10.5>><<include "TIME">>"$name wait up!" you hear Sarah's voice call out just as you're about to leave the room. You turn to find her standing with her hands on her hips and pouting at you. A smiling Alesha is next to her, with a hand on her shoulder. "You weren't trying to ditch us, were you?" "Haha, of course not," you reply. "I just figured there was no point sticking around in the classroom." "Well good! We need friends that last, so it's time to bond!" Sarah beams, leaning forward and poking you in the chest. "Easy Sare, you're gonna scare her off," Alesha laughs. The three of you start to make your way down the hall. "No worries, it'll take more than that to push me away," you reply.<<if $tourLocker>> "I mean, I'm //pretty sure// you invited me to have sex the first time we met, so we started things off pretty intense." "Oh crap, did we do that?" Alesha asks, blushing a little. "We //were// pretty fired up Sunday so it sounds like something we'd do with how cute she is," Sarah shrugs. "Your loss really, it's not like we're throwing those invitations out every day!" "Yeah!.. but to be real Sarah was probably planning on eating you, so turning us down was a good call," Alesha says. "Also true! We always have more fun when there's more to play with," Sarah says, smiling up at Alesha with her cheeks flushed. "Uh-huh..." you say, slightly uncomfortable.<</if>><<if $fat > 25>> "<<if $tourLocker>>Speaking of more to play with,<<else>>By the way<</if>> have you gotten fatter since we met?" Sarah asks, poking you again but this time in your chubby gut.<<if $ateChandra>> "Oh it's from that other girl in the locker room isn't it! Shandra or something?"<</if>> "I might have gotten a bit bigger," you sigh. "Don't worry at all, <<if $fat > 34>>just hit the gym when you've got time! I'm sure it'll melt right off<<else>>a little bit of chub never hurt anyone! You're rocking it<</if>>," Alesha says, giving you a pat on the back.<</if>> "You guys wanna hit the dining hall? I'm pretty hungry," Sarah says. "I was just thinking the same thing! Let's do it," Alesha giggles. "Sounds good to me," you reply. The three of you make your way through the halls of Karbo toward the main entrance, Sarah and Alesha holding hands as they walk. The campus seems very peaceful compared to yesterday, none of the other girls in the hall feeling like a threat even though some are clearly upperclassmen. Maybe there was truth in it only being Monday that there was a "massacre". You're met by a surprise as you step out into the courtyard--it's raining. "Aw shoot..." Alesha sighs. It isn't too heavy, but still enough for you to pause under the overhang outside the door. "Don't worry babe, I got you!" Sarah says. "Wha--hey!" Alesha says, almost losing her balance as Sarah jumps onto her back. "Lift please!" Sarah says. Alesha obliges, hoisting her up higher on her back and supporting her legs. Sarah scooches up until she's leaning over Alesha's head. "There, now I'm your umbrella!" she laughs, wrapping her arms around Alesha. "Sorry $name, you're on your own." "Sare, it isn't that far of a walk you dork," Alesha says, sounding a little strained by the position. "Yeah but I know how long your braids take to dry when they get wet," Sarah says. She leans forward a bit more and kisses the very top of Alesha's forehead. "Besides, are you saying you don't want them pressed up like this?~" "Eheh, uh, let's go!" Alesha blurts out, marching forward into the rain. You follow her lead, amused by the whole situation. [[Head to lunch->September 3rd- Lunch: Sarah and Alesha]]

<<set $time to 11.5>><<include "TIME">><<set $day3DetourMovie to true>>"Absolutely!" you say with a smile. Continuing to hang out with them sounds more fun than class, and it's not like you'll do anything important the first day anyway. "Sounds fun." "Yay!" Sarah says, bouncing back up and clapping her hands together. "Come on then, let's go!" You follow the two of them upstairs and through the halls of Lampton, Sarah giddy with excitement. The dull roar of rain once again greets you as you cross the bridge back to Karbo. Sarah's dorm is one of the last on the second floor--Room K213. She unlocks the door and the three of you filter in. <<set $sarahDorm to true>> <<if $leahHangout>>Just like Leah's, her<<else>>Her<</if>> dorm looks essentially the same as yours. Her bed has an excessive amount of pillows on it, most of them various shades of green to match the blanket, and there are some fancy fabric decorations hanging off the wall. It's easy to figure out which side is hers, since there's a framed picture of her and Alesha on the bedside table. Also, someone else is currently sitting on the other bed. "Are you throwing a party?" the girl, presumably her roommate, asks, a slightly annoyed look on her face. Her strawberry blonde hair is loosely tied back in a ponytail, and she has a very lanky figure... if you ignore the fact that she's clearly a few hours into digesting someone. Her belly sags forward onto her lap, at the point where she could pass for being pregnant if it weren't so soft, whoever she ate definitely just mush by now. "Heeey Kris! We're just gonna watch a movie, if that's cool," Sarah says. She and Alesha walk in and immediately drop back onto Sarah's bed, while you trail in a little awkwardly behind them. "Yeah, that's fine. I've gotta get to class soon anyway," Kris says with a shrug. She stands up and stretches out, then looks down at her belly and gently pushes on it with one hand, seeming a little annoyed. "I'll just head out now, have fun." "Bye!" Sarah calls out as Kris brushes past you out of the room. "Okay, now let's do this! First things first, I'm still wet." She quickly pulls off her shirt and throws it vaguely in the direction of her hamper. "$name you're cool if I just stay like this, right?" she asks as she digs through a box on the floor. "Go for it," you reply, still standing somewhat awkwardly in the middle of the room. "So what are we watching?" "Here we go! It's one of me and Ali's favorites: //The Spy Who Ate Me//," Sarah says, proudly holding the dvd case overhead. "It's one of the older Jane Oath movies. They're cheesy as heck, I love them!" "Yeah, they're great! Perfect choice babe," Alesha says. She's still sitting on the bed, shifting some of the pillows around. The name sounds vaguely familiar to you, but it's definitely not something you've seen. Sarah quickly and somewhat clumsily goes to get the movie ready. The tv is set up at the end of Kris's bed, so she turns it to be facing the other side of the room. While she gets things ready, Alesha finishes what she was doing and sits back in a nest of pillows right in the corner. "Come on $name, get comfortable!" she says, patting her hand on a spot next to her. "Don't be shy." You oblige, taking a seat on the surprisingly plush bed. "Woah, this is way more comfortable than my bed," you say as you sink in a couple inches. "What gives?" "Hehe, I have three matress pads!" Sarah giggles as she comes to join you on the bed, remote in hand. She plops herself down between Alesha's legs and leans back against her. Alesha immediately wraps her arms around her like she's strapping her into place. "Okay, everyone ready?" "Wait! $name can you get the lights?" Alesha says. "Oh, duh! What would I do without you Ali?" Sarah laughs, tilting her head up and briefly caressing one of Alesha's cheeks. "Yeah I got it." You get up, hit the lights, then quickly return to the comfort of Sarah's bed, now only lit by the glow of the television. "Ready when you are." The movie is pretty much what you expected from the description Sarah gave you--a very campy spy flick. It looks like it's probably from the 90's. Despite how extremely predictable the plot is so far, you're actually really enjoying it. The pacing between big action pieces and more intimate scenes is expertly done, and some of the sequences are hilariously played straight despite the absurdity, like Jane Oath sneaking into a facility by stowing away inside one of the guard's stomachs and somehow not raising suspicion. What's probably most enjoyable, however, is how into it Sarah and Alesha are, constantly laughing, or cheering, or hyping each other up for a scene that's about to happen. "Oh oh! Get ready Ali!" Sarah says, tapping her leg. In the movie, the main character and a woman who works for the villain that have built up some serious chemistry are having a final confrontation. The romantic tension is overwhelming. "'I can't Jane, I took an oath!'" Alesha says dramatically, perfectly in sync with the character on screen. "'I'm the only Oath you need, Lara,'" Sarah finishes, unable to contain her giggling. The two proceed to passionately kiss alongside the characters on screen. Shortly after this scene, in a surprise twist that anyone with a brain could tell was coming, the man who was built up as the main antagonist is revealed to just be an underling to the true villain. She's revealed for the first time in a dramatic, somewhat ridiculous scene where she swallows the decoy villain whole, only letting the viewers see her in full once the deed is done. <<if $metAlice>>Strangely, you're immediately reminded of Alice when you see her--the actress has the same piercing amber eyes, dark hair, and she's even wearing a red dress. <<if $aliceInfo1 > 1>>Then you make the connection. "Hey, do you know who plays her?" you ask the other two. "That's Selene Mercato! She plays like, half the villains in the whole franchise. It's a little dumb, but she's so good at it!" Sarah informs you, confirming your suspicions. You laugh a little under your breath--of course Alice's mom would be typecast as a villain.<</if>><</if>> Following the big reveal, there's only another half hour or so of movie. The ending felt a little rushed, but overall you actually really enjoyed it. Definitely worth skipping class for. "So, what did you think $name?" Alesha asks. "Did you love it?? You loved it didn't you," Sarah says, abruptly sitting up and poking your arm. You notice that both straps of her bra are off and she's holding it in place with her arm. You start to wonder what might have been going on while you were focused on the movie. "Yeah actually, that was great! Not the kind of movie I would usually go for, but that was a good choice!" you reply. "Haha, I knew it! No one can resist some classic Jane Oath," Sarah cheers. She casually re-secures her bra and gets up to hit the lights. "We should go as Jane and Lara for Halloween again this year," Alesha says, followed by a yawn. She sits up and rubs her eyes as the lights flick back on. "Oh that was so much fun! I'm super on board." Checking the time on your phone, you're a little surprised to find that it's only a little after one thirty. You were expecting to end up missing both of your classes for this, but there's still plenty of time to make it to Escapism. <<if $escapismA is 0>>Since you already missed the first day, you probably shouldn't skip again if you don't have to.<<else>>Since you have a lab, you probably shouldn't skip it if you don't have to.<</if>> You chat and discuss the movie with the two girls for a little longer, before letting them know that you have to get to class. "Aw, alright," Sarah pouts as you get up to leave. "Thanks for joining us, this was a lot of fun!" Alesha says. "Yeah for sure! See ya later!" Sarah says. <<Couple 1>> [[Head to class->September 3rd- Escapism]]

You change course and start to tail the girl down the main hall. She's got dark hair and tan skin, and looks to be a bit taller than you. You're finding it difficult to match her pace and end up almost running after her. Whatever has her worried also has her in a hurry. You're in the middle of thinking out your strategy when she abruptly stops, just before reaching the lobby. She shifts in place a little and looks around nervously. Luckily she doesn't seem to notice you, and as far as you can tell no one else is in the hall. If you're going to strike, now's the time. \ <<link "Try to eat her">> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to false>> <<set _baseline to 9>> <<set _modifier to 0>> <<set $stamina -= 10>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto "On the Hunt- Eat Gina">> <<else>> <<goto "On the Hunt- Gina Escapes">> <</if>> <</link>> <<link "Try to eat her (Aggressive)">> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to true>> <<set _baseline to 9>> <<set _modifier to 0>> <<set $stamina -= 10>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto "On the Hunt- Eat Gina">> <<else>> <<goto "On the Hunt- Gina Escapes">> <</if>> <</link>> <<link "Leave her alone">><<replace "#choice">>Despite the perfect opportunity, you have a change of heart.

You quickly hurry past her, acting like you didn't even notice she was standing at the corner. She jumps a little when she sees you and seems to start to say something, but her voice drops without getting the words out. You ignore her and continue into the lobby. Unfortunately, the lobby is actually a bit crowded. No one particularly dangerous looking, but also no one that you could take down without causing a huge commotion. You think of trying the courtyard as a hunting ground, but your hopes are quickly dashed by looking out the window and seeing that it's currently raining.

She shoves you back surprisingly hard, looking like she's trembling. "You jerk, you were just trying to eat me!" she shouts, backing away down the hall with her arms held out. "D-Damn it, I'm sorry Sally!" she shrieks before breaking into an all out sprint away from you. @@color:orange;Your strength fails you.@@ You curse and your shoulders sag as you watch your meal slip away.

There's a look of pure terror on her face in the brief moment before it disappears into your maw. She tries to shake your grip, but the best her thrashing manages to accomplish is unhooking some of the buttons on her cardigan. You move quickly, swallowing past her chest in short order. You hear a muffled "stop" come from the growing bulge of your stomach, but that hardly discourages you. Getting a firm grip on her thighs, you hoist her lower body up while the rest of her continues to sink into your mouth. She kicks her legs as hard as she can, flailing even more when you lift her high enough that her skirt flips up.

You and Beli continue making some small talk as you both enjoy your meals, hers having gone still a while ago. Eventually, Beli checks her phone, gives her gut a little shove and, seeming satisfied with the results, steps away from the wall. "Been fun chatting $name, but I've got a class to get to," she says, stretching her arms. "I'll catch ya around. Hope Gina treats you well." She gives the top of your gut a very light smack as she passes by on her way out. "See ya!" you reply.

"How you //*UUrrrp*// doing Gina?" you ask. There's no response, and although you feel some movement it's so slight that it might just be from your own jostling. You take a step forward and give it another poke. Still nothing. @@color:lime;Gina has been digested!@@ Content that your meal isn't going to give you any more trouble, you make your way out of the bathroom.

Where are you taking me?" Gina says, pushing both of her hands out. You nearly fumble at the odd sensation. Normally, you aren't one to do much moving around while your prey is still kicking. "Just getting some privacy," you grunt. Regaining your balance, you hurry along to the door and quickly step inside. You lock the door behind you with a sigh of relief. Resting one hand on top of Gina, you take a few steps into the room. "What's up," someone to your right says. You jump and turn your head to the source, instantly set on high alert. You aren't sure how you didn't see her at first, but leaning against the stalls is<<if $metBeli>> Beli from lunch yesterday. Her stomach tattoo is on full display, as she's currently dealing with her own squirming passenger. "Oh, uh, hi. You're Beli, right? Looks like we had //*urp*// the same idea," you say with a slightly nervous laugh. "Haha, guess so. $name right? You're not gonna try and get this punk out, right?" Beli says. "Huh?

"Sorry, I didn't //*urp*// think anyone else was in here." "Best place to get some peace and quiet while you take care of things. You backup?" the girl asks. You notice one of her arms is lazily resting on her belly, showing off an elaborate floral tattoo near her shoulder. "Excuse me?" "Heh, probably not. You didn't really look like it. Name's Beli, who are you?" "Uh, I'm $name..." you reply. "I'm still a little lost here."<</if>> "Well, my breakfast here said she was calling in backup," Beli explains. She gives the front of her belly a firm smack, leaving her hand there gripping it tight. "Thought maybe it was you." "W-Wait, what did she say?" Gina whimpers. "Are you talking to the girl that ate Sally??" "Haha, I think I actually took care of //*uurp*// that backup," you laugh.

"Hah, ah that's //*URrrp*// hilarious. Well sweet, thanks for dealing with that for me." "No problem. You cool if I settle in to deal with her here?" you say, leaning back against the wall. "Yeah, do whatever you want," Beli says with a shrug. <<set $preyAction to "rest">> "Ohhh... I knew I shouldn't have come to help her... what was I even gonna do?" Gina mutters.

"So //*urp*// what did Sally do to wind up in there?"<</if>> "Oh this punk?" Beli says, grabbing her gut from below and bouncing it a few times. The girl inside starts to thrash harder in protest. "She bumped into me while I was //*URP*// mindin' my own business. If she'd just said sorry, or even just walked away we'd be good. But this dumbass starts yelling at //me// about getting in her way and almost making her drop her phone." "Yeah, I'd say that's worthy of being food," you laugh. "Heh, yeah.

Beli tightens her stomach muscles, burps, then lets her belly drop back to being relaxed, stirring up some motion from inside. "Gettin' sloshy, but yeah." She grins and nods her head up at you. "Come on over, if you're thinking what I think you are." "Huh?" Gina says as you start to waddle over to Beli. You stop with your belly just an inch or two away from hers. "Well, I heard you rambling about how it's 'all Sally's fault' and she was making 'stupid mistakes' or whatever, so go ahead and //*urp*// let her know how you feel." "What? Gina! How could you be so mean?" you hear a muffled voice say from inside Beli. "It's true though, I was doing fine until you dragged me into this!" Gina shouts. "Bitch you got eaten before you even got here, that's not on me!" Sally lashes out, making Beli's gut bulge forward enough to touch yours. You take a small step back. "C'mon, don't be shy," Beli says. She puts her hands on either side of your belly and steps forward, pressing the warm flesh of her gut against yours. You blush a little at the odd sensation of both girls squirming as they're squeezed together. "//*Urrrp*// Let 'em get nice and personal." "Ugh, you're always like this!" Gina says, pushing forward. "It //is// your fault! I was fine until I was walking down the halls distracted 'cause I was worried about YOU. I don't know //why//!" "Claaasic Gina, always blaming someone else." "Oh what //ever//. You never think about anyone but yourself. You got eaten cause you blew up over something stupid, didn't you?" "Shut up! I don't need you." You feel a hard shove from Beli's gut. "You literally called me here you jerk! God, I don't know why I even bothered trying to rescue you." "Yeah //real// good job with that one Gina, you're totally my hero." "Yikes," Beli says. "You guys know this is the last time you're gonna get to talk, right?" The two girls continue arguing, giving you an unusual but amazing massage as they push and squirm against each other through your stomachs. After a litle while, Beli pulls away and leans back against the wall again. "Well that was fun, but I think they're just gonna keep going if we let them. Good idea $name! I don't feel even a little bad about eating her after that." "Heh, thanks," you say, moving back to a comfortable position against the wall.

And we might be able to catch someone on their way back to their dorm too." "Ugh, but then I have to go upstairs like this... But yeah that's a pretty solid idea."

Your best opportunity slips away just seconds before you arrive--a rather petite girl that you spotted going into the dorm right across the way just as you turned the corner. You hang around for a while, occasionally prowling the dorm hall while Sam waits on the bridge, but in over a half an hour the only girl you spotted that she might be able to handle //in general// was half a foot taller than you. Sam gave her a hard pass. "This isn't happening," Sam sighs. "I'm not just gonna wait around all night." "Sorry, I really thought we could pull this off." "You better be," she says with a smirk.

"Even if someone's not turned off by me being this big, literally all I have to do is mention I'm Maeve's sister and they'll go running." "<<if $metMaeve>>Oh, yeah that makes a lot of sense actually," you say, remembering your encounter earlier. You're really hoping Sam will put in a good word for you after helping her with this.<<else>>Seriously? She's //that// big of a deal?" you ask. "Oh yeah. That's how I got this first half of my dinner--she just panicked and froze instead of fighting back when I told her who I was," she explains with a laugh. "Damn..."<</if>> The two of you make your way into the dining hall and start to head up the stairs, getting some odd looks from a few people eating. Sam struggles a bit with the stairs and looks like she's starting to sweat by the time you reach the top. You poke some fun at how out of shape she is for a predator, then carry on down the hall to the bridge. At first you still don't have much luck, narrowly missing what looked like a perfect candidate when you first arrived. After a few minutes though, you both spot a girl heading for the stairs after coming out of her room. "That's the one," Sam says with a grin. "Short and wimpy, she's perfect." You nod and start to take off after her. After you get a closer look at your target, however, you freeze. It's Mandy. \ <<link "She //is// perfect">><<replace "#choice">>\ <<set $day2HuntWithSam to "success">><<set $karma -= 2>>You only hesitate for a moment before continuing to sneak up behind her. You can't help feeling a little bad about what you're about to do when it's only been a couple hours since you rescued her<<if $eatenByErika>> from Erika. Going so far as to get yourself eaten to keep her safe, it feels off to feed her to someone else, but you can't argue with Sam<<else>>, but you also can't argue with Sam<</if>>: She //is// the perfect candidate for what you're trying to pull off. You catch up to her at the top of the stairwell and quickly block her path. "Hey again Mandy!" you say, watching her very carefully. Sam is down the hall by the bridge, blocking her other escape. "<<print $name[0]>>-$name? What do you want?" she says, taking a step back. Her eyes look like they might pop out of her head as she looks you over. "We're cool now, r-right? That's <<if $eatenByErika>>why you saved me earlier?<<else>>what you said earlier?<</if>>" She continues to slowly back away from you, not noticing the subtle sloshing sound of Sam closing the gap behind her. "Well, that was then, and now... I hope you enjoyed those extra hours I bought you. Sorry, but you're exactly what we were looking for," you say, creeping forward as she tries to back away. You stay poised to strike if she tries to run. "We...?" Mandy says, her voice shrill. She jolts as a loud groan rips through the air from Sam's active belly. You watch as she slowly turns her head back in horror, spotting Sam with her engorged gut just a few feet away, grinning at her. You take the opportunity to grab her while she's distracted, pinning her arms to her side and holding tight. She whips her head back to you and immediately starts fighting to break your grip. "NO! $name you can't do this!" she screams. "Let me go! You--" She cuts herself off with a whimper mid sentence as Sam gets closer, her belly pressing against her back. She reaches forward and grabs Mandy's shoulders, pulling back a little so she presses into the soft flesh. "Come on, you're gonna help me out with something important here! You should be proud," Sam says. "I-It's not even you, $name?" Mandy whimpers. You're caught off guard by the implication that she would be more okay with it if you were the one eating her, but before you have any real response, Sam makes her move. Mandy screams as Sam shoves her head into her mouth, having to drop onto her knees in the process of reaching her over the bulk of her belly. You snap back to attention, keeping Mandy under control as Sam slowly starts to swallow her down. She goes slowly, using her arms to feed Mandy's struggling form into her mouth as she drags her in inch by inch. You keep Mandy's arms locked to her side as more of the girl disappears, moving your attention instead to her flailing legs once she's in up to her elbows. You can see Sam's gut starting to bulge out even further with its new occupant, her skin looking tight as she already starts to push her limits. With her stomach already full and very active, you can hear a myriad of wet squishing sounds as Mandy starts to be packed away. Right before Mandy's butt enters her mouth, Sam stops and makes an attempt at some kind of noise, pulling her hands away to clutch her gut. Mandy, in turn, lets out a muffled shriek and starts to thrash even harder. Sam tries to resume swallowing, but just gags on the girl, losing some progress if anything. Her face is starting to turn red. You panic a little, thinking that maybe she really can't handle this much. There isn't much time to think, so, perhaps against your better judgement, you decide you can't turn back now. Planting your hands firmly on Mandy's thighs, you shove the girl forward into Sam's mouth. You keep pushing until her ass has completely vanished into her gullet. Sam seems taken by surprise and brings her hands up to her bulging throat as you force the girl down. Once you let up, she closes her eyes and swallows hard, succeeding in pulling Mandy forward again. Relieved, you let her take things slow the rest of the way, watching as Mandy's legs gently slip past her lips and her gut swells to be larger than the rest of her body. Soon, the ordeal is finally over, the last of Mandy becoming sealed away in the cramped confines of her body. In a strange sequence of sounds, Sam takes a deep, gasping breath, then coughs a little, then lets out a deep belch. "Holy shit //*UURP*// I... //*urp*// haha I actually did it! //*URP*//" Sam cheers. You notice that her eyes are watering a little. A very slight shift in her gut makes her grunt and shift forward. "I told you you could!" you say with a grin. "Man, you are //huge//!" "I feel like I'm //*URP*// gonna explode, it's so //*urp*// fucking tight $name!" Sam says. Her face seems to keep shifting between discomfort and excitement. "There wasn't even //*urp*// room for me to take a deep //*urrp*// breath." Her stomach lets out a loud, long groan and twitches slightly. "And you are //super// gassy," you say with a little laugh. "I wonder if she stirred up a bunch of stuff from your first meal, or if it literally just has nowhere else to go anymore?" "The tiny //*uurrp*// relief is nice so I'm not //*urp*// complaining..." "I think you might need to digest a little before there's any chance of you making it to Maeve's room." "Yeah, I really doubt I can even //*urp*// stand up right now," Sam says. She's very slowly trying to scooch herself up against the nearby wall, her massive belly dragging across the tile. "Don't worry, I'm sure once she softens up you'll be able to manage it better. It doesn't look like she's doing much at least." "I can barely move!" comes a muffled, somewhat slurred cry from inside her gut. "This is disgusting! Please let me out! Please I..." "Woah, I think I just //*uurp*// heard the first girl mumble something to her!" Sam says. She's still wincing every time there's even the slightest shift in her gut. "Can't believe she's //*urp*// still hanging on." "Seriously, I thought she was gone back when I first ran into you." You kneel down next to Sam and start to gently massage her massive gut. It's immediately clear how far she's pushed herself--her skin is pulled taut to the point that it feels hard and barely pushes in as you try to work your fingers over it. You've also noticed that at the most extreme points where it's bulging out, her pale flesh is tinted red and almost looks shiny. You would feel bad about pushing her this far if she didn't look absolutely thrilled. "Thanks... That feels //*urp*// great," Sam sighs as you continue to soothe her belly. It groans and gurgles almost nonstop, protesting the size of the meal it's been sent. It's enough to drown out the occasional whimpering from Mandy. As your efforts shift over the pretty defined bulge of her head, she finally speaks up again. "<<if ($mandyEscaped is "released") and !$attackedMandyCookout>>Why $name..? This is so much worse than that other girl would have been... I thought..." she says, sounding like she's crying. "...just relax and let it happen, Mandy..." you reply quietly, feeling pretty guilty about willingly letting her go, then coming to her rescue, only to end up feeding her to someone else.<<else>>I knew I couldn't trust you," she sniffles. "You're awful, $name. Y-You're the worst person I've met..." You don't bother responding to her, though you push in a bit harder with your massage after her insult.<</if>> You and Sam sit there for a long time, idly chatting while you massage her strained belly. You explain your situation with Mandy while she's slowly churned away, which Sam seems to find pretty entertaining. At one point, you both burst out laughing after hearing someone shout "No, they're //still// out there!" from behind the nearest door. After over half an hour of her stomach doing its best to handle the double meal, it's finally starting to feel soft and squishy again. While still enormous, it's definitely gotten smaller than it was, and Mandy has been silent for some time. "//*UUurrp*// Oh man, this was an //amazing// idea $name," Sam says. "Now that I don't //*urp*// feel like I'm gonna burst from any sudden movement, I just feel great!" "And I bet this'll //really// impress Maeve. You're welcome," you say, giving the top of her gut a satisfied pat. "She's gonna love it when she sees this. Speaking of, //*urp*// it's probably time I try to actually get to her." She starts to try and stand, the weight of her gut clearly fighting her as she attempts to push herself up onto her feet. You offer her a hand, managing to pull her up with a little difficulty. She's hunched over and leaning on the wall, but standing. "Is she at least on this floor?" you ask. You let her lean on you as she takes some stumbling steps toward the bridge. It takes less time than you expected for her to stabilize and figure out how to carry the weight on her own, though she's moving slow. "That would be //*urp*// nice," she laughs. The two of you slowly make your way across the bridge and through the halls. Apparently Maeve's suite is the first one after the stairs on the far side of Lampton. She put it off as long as she could, but eventually you shamble your way to the top of the stairwell. "Alright..." Sam says as she starts to carefully make her way down the steps. You assist her in supporting the mass of her gut. "I appreciate all the help, but you should probably leave before I let her know I'm //*urp*// here once we're down there." <<if $metMaeve>>"You don't have to tell me twice," you say, not too keen on meeting her sister again after earlier. "Heh, promise I'll introduce you properly sometime," Sam says.<<else>>"Why?" "Well, even if you're with me //and// helping me, today probably isn't //*urp*// a great time for your first impression of her. Plus, she'll be way more impressed if it looks like I managed this on my own," Sam laughs. "I guess that's fair. But if you're stealing all the credit you've gotta pay me back some time," you tease. "We'll see," Sam says with a smirk.<</if>> After far too much effort, you finally make it down to the first floor. Sam is clearly exhausted from moving so far with her two meals, panting and definitely sweating a bit as the two of you step out into the hall. "Whew... Thanks again, $name. Let's do this again some time," Sam says, grinning. "We'll see," you laugh. "Have fun with your sister! I'll see ya around." After waving goodbye, you leave her to make your way to the dining hall, hurrying through the more dangerous hallway. You may have caught Sam a second meal, but after all that you feel like it's probably best to settle for normal food yourself instead of pushing your luck. <<if $samRel < 2>><<Sam 2>><<elseif $samRel < 3>><<Sam 1>><</if>><<set $samPrey.push({name: "Mandy", status: "minor", details: "the second prey in her first ever double meal thanks to your help"})>> [[Go get dinner->September 2nd- Dinner]]\ <</replace>><</link>> <<link "Abort mission">><<replace "#choice">>\ <<set $day2HuntWithSam to "fail">>"W-Well hang on a second..." you say. "Isn't this too easy?" "What? $name come on she's gonna get away," Sam says, shuffling over to you with an annoyed look on her face. "I mean, why would someone that easy just be walking around alone after going through all of today? Maybe she's actually super strong." "That's stupid, come on this was your idea, go grab her!" Sam is glaring at you now. "Uh, she looks like she tastes bad?" you say, really just stalling at this point. "What are you even..." She trails off, then sighs and touches a hand to her face. "$name. You can just say that you know her. I'm not gonna make you feed a friend to me." "Oh, yeah, that would have been the smarter thing to do huh?" you say with a nervous laugh. "Sorry, I'm sure we'll find someone else." "You're hopeless," Sam laughs. "No chance we get anyone that perfect again though..." And of course, she's correct. You stay on the hunt for a while, Sam ready to strike on the bridge while you prowl the dorm hall, but after Mandy no good opportunity presents itself. The only other possible prey material you encounter is much too tall for Sam to consider at the moment. "This isn't happening," Sam sighs. "I'm not just gonna wait around all night." "Sorry, I really thought we could pull this off." "You better be," she says with a smirk. "I like that you're offering to catch me meals<<if $tourSam>> all on your own<</if>> now though, this is a good development." "Well, I wanted to see you push your limits," you reply. "Have fun with your sister, sorry for keeping you so long." "Ah it's fine. We'll come back to this idea another day," she laughs. Based on the luck you've had so far, you feel like it would be a good idea to call it quits on your own hunt as well. You walk with Sam back across to Lampton Hall, parting ways at the top of the stairs. <<if $samRel > 2>><<Sam -1>><<else>>@@color:yellow;Sam didn't seem too upset about the detour, but she wasn't thrilled by the outcome.@@<</if>> [[Go get dinner->September 2nd- Dinner]]\ <</replace>><</link>>\

You're a little skeptical given what happened before, but Sarah seems oddly genuine, maybe you just got off on the wrong foot with them. Plus, it's not like you'll be missing much if you skip the first day of Survival. "That could be nice." "Yay! I bet we just need to get to know each other better and we can forget all this," Sarah says with a smile. She gestures for you to follow as she and Alesha turn back around. "Come on!" You follow the two of them through the halls of Lampton, awkwardly a little behind them rather than walking as a proper group. The dull roar of rain once again greets you as you cross the bridge back to Karbo. Sarah's dorm is one of the last on the second floor--Room K213. She unlocks the door and the three of you filter in. The inside unsurprisingly looks pretty similar to yours.<<set $sarahDorm to true>> "Are you throwing a party?" a girl sitting on one of the beds, presumably her roommate, asks, a slightly annoyed look on her face. Her strawberry blonde hair is loosely tied back in a ponytail, and she has a very lanky figure... if you ignore the fact that she's clearly a few hours into digesting someone. Her belly sags forward onto her lap, at the point where she could pass for being pregnant if it weren't so soft, whoever she ate definitely just mush by now. "Heeey Kris! We're just gonna watch a movie, if that's cool," Sarah says. She and Alesha walk in and immediately drop back onto Sarah's bed, while you trail in a little behind them. "Yeah, that's fine. I've gotta get to class soon anyway," Kris says with a shrug. She stands up and stretches out, then looks down at her belly and gently pushes on it with one hand, seeming a little annoyed. "I'll just head out now, have fun." "Bye! Remember to lock the door!" Sarah calls out as Kris brushes past you out of the room. She and Alesha exchange a quick look, then she sighs and gets up. You swear you saw her wink at her. "I'll get the movie all set up, you guys get comfortable!" "You sure Sare? I can handle the movie," Alesha says. "Yeah, you guys are my guests! It's your turn to relax," Sarah replies, starting to dig through a box on the floor. "So, what are we watching?" you ask. You're still standing uncomfortably in the middle of the room, a bit suspicious of the situation. "It's a surprise! Now don't just stand around, get comfy! Alesha can show you to your seat," Sarah says, giggling. "Right..." "Yeah, c'mon $name!" Alesha says, patting the empty space next to her on the bed. "Sare has like three matress pads, it's amazing." You get an unnerving sense of déjà vu, but with a sigh you go to sit next to her. "Really? That seems a little excessive." You take a seat a little away from Alesha as a precaution. The plush surface of the bed sinks in a few inches to accomodate you. "Woah, you weren't kidding." "Right? That's not where you're sitting though," Alesha says, scooting over to be so close that your legs are touching. You try to shift away again but she wraps an arm around your side and pulls you even closer. "Uh... what?" you say. You stand up to try and get away from her, but a suprisingly strong pull drags you back down right into her lap. "Hey, get off--" "Oh shoot, sorry! I didn't think you'd go so fast, I was really looking for the movie still," Sarah giggles, cutting off your protest as she arrives to help restrain you. You try to squirm against their combined grip, but you're helpless as Alesha shoves your head into her mouth. The warm, slimy sensation of her insides starts to slide past your skin, and with a wet squishing sound you're forcefully dragged deeper into her. With both girls keeping your limbs in place, there's little you can do to resist your fate. @@color:orange;You have been overpowered.@@ <<if $outfit is "uniform">>"Hang on a sec..." you hear Sarah say through the muffling of Alesha's throat. A moment later, she's grabbing at your hips. You try to push her off in surprise, but before you can properly react you feel her yank your skirt off and slide it free of your legs. You attempt to voice your outrage, only managing a muffled grunt as you sink deeper into Alesha. "Hehe this actually looked pretty cute. And she's not gonna need it anymore, right $name?" She smacks your newly exposed ass as she returns to assisting Alesha, giggling while she lifts your body up to ease your journey.<<else>>"You're doing great babe! This is the most fun part $name," Sarah giggles. You feel your body slowly get raised into the air, until you're facing straight down to Alesha's stomach.<</if>> With the assistance of gravity, it doesn't take much longer for you to be sealed away. Alesha eagerly gulps you down, dragging your body into the dark confines of hers. You find yourself forced facefirst into a gross, warm pile of sludge when you first push into her stomach--whatever she had for lunch only just starting to digest. You gag, feeling some of the substance cling to your body as the rest of you squeezes in. You curl up into a tight ball in the cramped chamber, Alesha's stomach groaning in satisfaction. "//*UUUURrrp*// Welcome to your seat $name, I hope it's comfy," Alesha giggles. She firmly pats the top of her belly. "And I hope you don't mind if I use you as a cushion~" Sarah says. You feel her embrace Alesha's gut, squeezing you even tighter. "How was she?" "Delicious! Are you sure you didn't want her?" "Of course silly, I got her last time!<<if $breastSize > 24>> Plus, did you see how big her boobs got already? Some of that has gotta rub off on you!<</if>>" "Heh, thanks Sare.

You make this little startled face every time, it's adorable!" "Aw, babe~" Alesha says. You feel extra pressure start to push down on you as Sarah leans in to kiss her. "HEY!" you shout, lashing out at the walls. You try to specifically push against Sarah. "What the hell!? I thought we were making up here?" "You are making it up to us! Alesha got a movie snack and I get some extra stuffing in my cushion," Sarah giggles. "Did you really think we forgave a jerk like you just like that?

You step closer to the door and the two exchange a glance. Then Sarah drops the charade and runs at you. "Stop, you're gonna mess everything up again!" she complains, grabbing your shoulders just as you manage to get the door open. She pulls you into a strange sort of hug in an attempt to drag you back in, while Alesha joins the fray and struggles with you to close the door again. "Get off me!" you grunt. Sarah is stronger than you expected her to be. "C'mon $name, don't be a butt!" Alesha says. She pushes her whole body into the door and you're forced to let go or lose your fingers as it slams shut. Your opportunity to escape is slipping away, but with your arms now free you shove your elbow back into Sarah as hard as you can to try and get her off of you. Luckily, you seem to have caught her by surprise and she falls back with a yelp. "Sarah!" Alesha cries, leaving the door to go kneel next to her on the ground. "Sare are you okay baby?"

She pushes back harder and shifts side to side a little as she settles into position. "Is this seat taken?~" "Yes... Get off..." you grunt, your prison feeling even more cramped than before. She's making it difficult to move much. Neither of the girls seem to acknowledge your response. "Nope, I saved it just for you~" Alesha says.

The steadily rising acids are thrown into chaos, splashing up around you before settling at an angle, leaving most of your left side submerged. "That's better. She was starting to make my legs fall asleep." "You can't see the screen very well now though," Sarah says, latching back onto her belly. She practically wraps herself around it, almost like she's spooning you through the stomach walls. "That's okay, I have a much better view.~" "Ohhh, you like what you see, huh?" Sarah teases. She adjusts herself to be higher up and closer to Alesha's face, then you feel something pushing harder against your upper back. Too wide to be her hands. "And what if I did this...~" Alesha lets out a quiet moan, then there's some shifting above you followed by a strange assortment of noises.

"//*Uurrp*// Oh no... Sare get--//*hrrk*//," Alesha blurts out as her stomach lurches, doing everything it can to squeeze you back up into her throat. You feel her frantically shift to the edge of the bed as your head starts to make it's way back out the way you came. "Nooo, she can't get away twice!" Sarah protests, grabbing at her gut from behind in some attempt to keep you down. Luckily, it's already too late. Alesha tries desperately to swallow you back down, but as soon as your head squeezes into her mouth she gives up and you surge forward towards freedom.

Sarah starts to gently massage her recently flattened stomach. "That's nice, thanks Sare..." Neither of them seem to even care that you're there anymore, and that's fine with you. You take the opportunity to run from the door and escape out into the hall. <<Couple -1>> <<include "playerPreyEscape">>[[Retreat to your dorm->After Lunch- Recovery]]

<<set $time to 15.5>><<include "TIME">>Unfortunately, Mina seems hopelessly at your mercy. Even after she eventually starts struggling again, you still feel like you could be walking around going about your day without her impeding you at all. It makes you very worried about her--not only was she absolutely a goner if you hadn't stepped in yesterday, there's no way she'd even stand a chance against another freshman. You can't say you're surprised when the two of you once again get Slate's attention. "Miss $last, has your partner accomplished //anything// in the past half hour?" Slate says as she approaches you. You jump a little as she rests a cold hand on your bloated belly. "Um... well, she's been very... determined?" you answer with a nervous smile, not wanting to completely throw Mina under the bus. "That's not what I asked." You sigh. "No. Your hand just now was probably more effective than anything she's done..." "As I suspected." She puts a bit of pressure on your belly and leans in closer. "Never in my years of teaching have I seen such a pathetic display from a student, Miss Long, not even in first lab. How you survived yesterday eludes me." "I'm sorry ma'am! I'm truly making my best effort, but I suppose I need more training," Mina replies. You blush a little and awkwardly look away as Slate interrogates your gut. "That is quite an understatement," Slate says with a sigh. "I'm tempted to allow Miss $last keep you and let you face the consequences if you still haven't escaped by the time the antacid wears off, but I already know what the outcome would be." "I promise I'll improve professor! I came here for one reason and I have no intention of giving up!" Slate leans back, straightens her back, and huffs. "Miss $last, release her." "Uh, of course," you reply, taking a step back and turning away from her. You pause for a moment to think, not very well versed in willingly throwing someone up, then start to push in and up on your belly. When your stomach seems perfectly content to hold onto Mina even with the added pressure, you instead reach your hand into your mouth to trigger your gag reflex<<if $mandyEscaped is "released">>, just like you did to get Mandy out<</if>>. That does the trick, and a very slimy Mina is quickly on her way back to the outside world. Her face is completely concealed by the messy hair pouring over her head at first, but she's quick to brush half of it aside. She blinks a few times, then sits up. "Thank you for your assistance, $name," she says as she neatens her hair a little better. "Miss $last, you're free to go, but Long, you come with me," Slate says sternly. "We have more to discuss about your performance today." "Yes ma'am," Mina says, getting to her feet. "I will see you later, $name!" You wave as she walks with Slate back to her desk. There is one thing thing that gives you a little hope about her future here--she seems to have insane stamina even if she doesn't have the strength. She already looks good as new and completely unbothered after spending all that time fighting your stomach<<if !$eatenByLeila>>, and it was the same story yesterday--she was completely unphased after running all the way to class following your rescue<</if>>. She just needs better technique. You look around for Emma before leaving, but she seems to already be gone. <<if $emmaInjured>>Slate must have let her leave early since she couldn't do anything.<<elseif $emmaInfo1 > 0>>Knowing how she feels about vomit, you figure she probably ran back to the dorm as soon as she could to clean up.<<else>>She must have finished before you and Mina and not wanted to wait any longer than she needed to to get changed.<</if>> <<include "playerPredFail">><<AttendEscapism>>\ [[Leave class->After Escapism]]

I guess I was a little too strong for you, huh?" she giggles. "Just give me a second, I'll get you out of there." A moment later you hear a gagging sound, then the stomach walls clamp down tight around you. You're quickly ejected from her body, sliding back up her throat and out onto the tile of the classrooms floor. You cough and sit up, a little disoriented but otherwise fine. Unfortunately, some of Haley's lunch hiched a ride with you. "The janitors at this school really have their work cut out for them..." you mutter as you brush yourself off and scooch away from the mess created by your escape. "Sorry again about that whole situation, it must have been gross!" Haley says, blushing a little. She's sitting at the desk right next to you. "Indeed, but that's no excuse for such a poor performance," Professor Slate says, the click of her heels approaching from your left. "Half an hour should be more than enough time to escape a less experienced predator, especially when they aren't being particularly aggressive like this. I'm disappointed, Miss $last."

"Well, I guess that means it's my turn to get eaten, huh? You think you're ready for me?" Haley says. She reaches down and grabs the edge of her shirt, starting to lift it but pausing with half of her midriff exposed. "Oh, sorry, I should ask first! Are you alright with me taking this off before I go down? I actually really like this shirt and wasn't thinking when I put it on this morning. I really don't want to get it all gunked up, but I also don't want to make you uncomfortable!" "Uh, yeah that's fine," you say. "Just let me know when you're ready to start." She quickly pulls her shirt off the rest of the way, leaving her in a plain white bra and revealing freckles on more than just her face. She neatly folds it and places it on a nearby desk, then takes her glasses off and sets them on top of it. The exposure doesn't seem to bother her at all. "Alright, ready to take a dive!" Starting with her hands, you quickly swallow her down to test her skills against your stomach.

With your free hand, you grab the bottom edge of her shirt and pull it up over her head, blocking her face and exposing her chest. She's wearing a black bra with little pink hearts that doesn't leave much to the imagination. With a slightly muffled yelp, she lets go of your hair to fix the situation, and you take the opportunity to shove her off of you. You manage to break her grip and she's knocked to the floor.

"Oh, and her tits are huge." "Ah, so kinda like that then," Sam says, nodding slightly towards the end of the hall as you round a corner. "There's no way it's that easy..." you say. Down at the other end of the hall are two girls chatting with each other, or really it looks more like one is getting yelled at. Sure enough, it's unmistakably Betty and Cassidy, though Alice is nowhere in sight. "No, yeah, the one yelling is Betty. And the other's Cassidy, the third girl I mentioned." "<<if $day3HuntSam is "promised">>Oh I'm //so// glad I called dibs<<else>>I can see why you want her to yourself<</if>>," Sam says with a grin. "Let's get closer, see what they're arguing about." "Gonna be hard not to be suspicious when they're the only other people in the hall," you say as you start to make your way toward them. Before you've even closed half the distance you briefly make eye contact with Betty and her eyes narrow. No way she didn't recognize you. "<<if $fat > 35>>By the way, are you like, way fatter than when we met?" Sam says. She slightly nudges you with her arm, then changes course, taking a left down the main hall. You follow her lead, noticing Betty and Cassidy leaving their position just before you lose sight of them. "You've gotta hit the gym or something if you're gonna be eating that much." "Hey, it's not //that// bad..." you say, pouting. "It's a little bad, you look like you have a beer belly," Sam laughs, poking your gut. "But relax, I don't actually care, just trying not to seem suspicious. She definitely saw you. <<else>>That video in class was pretty great, huh?" Sam says.

"I saw them heading up the hall, think we should follow?" "Wait, and hope we can still track them in a little bit.

"Tell me about it, digesting all that took forever! Still had a pretty big gut when I woke up, bet there's even some making its way through me still," she says, placing a hand on her stomach. Now that it's on your mind, you can see that her arms are definitely thicker than they used to be too. "The part that's sticking around isn't even going to the right places..." she mutters, pretending to cup her hands under much larger breasts than she actually has to make her point. "It's a Mckenn family curse."<<set $samInfo6 to 1>> "<<if $metMaeve>>Really? Maeve looked pretty impressive in that department when I saw her." "Yeah, //now//.

"Heh, thanks."<<else>>," you say. She just shrugs at you.<</if>><</if>><</if>> You wait around in the hall for a while, making some small talk while you give Betty and Cassidy time to lower their guard. At some point, a girl you don't recognize passes by you. She glances your way and suddenly looks stressed, picking up her pace. "And there's our cue," Sam says, starting to follow behind the girl as she rounds the corner towards where your targets were. "Less suspicious if we aren't the only ones in the hall." You make your way down the hall toward the dorms, following behind the mystery girl. She seems to be getting increasingly nervous. After looking over her shoulder and seeing the two of you tailing her, she practically sprints to the stairs. Sam laughs under her breath. "She definitely thought we were after //her//. Think she recognized me too," she says with a smirk. "They might have gone back to their dorms, but let's do a sweep starting with the dining hall." "Kind of an odd time for lunch," you say, following her over the bridge to Lampton. The rain is still coming down hard. "Yeah, but you never know with people's class schedules and they were heading this way." You pass through Lampton and quickly scan the dining hall from the balcony, but there's no sign of Betty. Returning to Karbo, you start to prowl the halls, checking the block of classrooms on the second floor. When that turns up nothing, you head down to the first floor. "So this Alice is Alice Mercato, right?" Sam asks as you make your way through the halls. "Yeah, you know her?" "Nah but I've heard some stuff. I guess she's actually pretty good at this," Sam replies. "Heh, but Maeve and her friends were placing bets on how long it would be before Professor Slate finds a reason to eat her. I guess she hates her mom's guts so much that it's common knowledge around here."<<set $knowSlateBeef to 1>> "Interesting. She-" "Hold that thought, I think the hunt's back on," Sam says before you can get your thought out. The two of you just headed back up to the second floor, and making her way down the hall ahead of you is Betty. Just as you were starting to think this was a bust. You follow at a safe distance, waiting behind the corner and keeping an eye on where she's going. There are a few others in the hall, so it could be risky to just jump her now. The two of you keep tailing, starting to close the gap when it becomes clear she's on her own right now. Unfortunately, before you can make a move she enters into one of the classrooms. "Damn it..." you mutter as you and Sam stop a little before the door. "No no, this is fine. We know where she is now," Sam assures you. "Let's hope she gets up to use the bathroom, that could be a perfect time to ambush her." "So we're just staking out now?" "Well let's not sit literally right next to the door, but yeah, just sit and wait." The two of you move further down the hall, stopping right before the corner where you can easily watch the door of her classroom. Then you both just lean against the wall, chatting while you wait for an opportunity. \ <<link "Ask about yesterday">><<replace "#choice">><<if ($day2Hunt is "courtyard") or ($maeveSisterRelation > 1)>>"So how did things go with Maeve yesterday<<if $maeveSisterRelation > 1>> after I left?" you ask, shuddering a little when you remember how you spent the day.

"She can definitely get kinda intense sometimes, and I get why a lot of people are scared of her, but she always means well. Well, if you mean something to her, she means well. But she can also be fun! She knows how to make the best of any situation." "You two are really close, huh?" you say, smiling at her. "Oh definitely.

You never stop paying attention to the classroom door, eager to finish your hunt, but not only does Betty never come out alone, not a single person leaves until whatever class it was is over. To your dismay, Betty exits right in the middle of a big crowd of students. You tail her for a little bit, but it quickly becomes clear there isn't going to be an opportunity to get her alone. "Damn it..." you mutter, you and Sam stopping by a corner. "I don't think this is gonna work out today." "Sucks, but... I've been doing some thinking while we were staring at a door for an hour like idiots." "Yeah?" "You're really after Alice here, right? You wanted Betty because she ate you, but she's the leader of the little group that's fucking with you. Why don't we go after her instead?" "Well, you've got a point, but Alice seems a lot more capable, and getting to her is gonna be tougher with her goons still hanging around," you say. "I figured we'd kill two birds with one stone doing this, get revenge on Betty and knock down some of Alice's support." "I get that, but, what about that third girl?" Sam gets a big grin on her face. "You said she was her roommate right? So we grab her, and then you've got yourself access to Alice alone whenever you want." A smile spreads across your lips. "Damn, that's good! I knew I asked you for help for a reason. This'll be perfect, I already know when we can get her. We both have Intro to Vore together, it meets again tomorrow at ten," you say. "So I show up and we take her down right when she's leaving," Sam nods. "Sounds good to me. What room number?" "115." "Sweet, looks like we're picking this thing up tomorrow," Sam says. "I'll see you then $name!" "See ya!" The two of you part ways at the bridge, Sam headed over to Lampton while you head downstairs to go back to your dorm.

There's already a sizeable pool of acids building at your feet, splashing up and licking at the rest of your body. "You know, all that splashing around with you? That's on you.

"You... picked the wrong girl..." you say, poorly attempting to hide how exhausted you are. "Let me go... if you want it to stop..." "Ha! You're cute." The walls suddenly clamp down hard on your body, pressing in against every inch of you. As if the pressure wasn't already overwhelming enough, Bree wraps her arms around you from the outside and squeezes you as tight as she can.

"The sooner you give up, the sooner I can let you out." <<else>> You feel a hard smack from the side. "Calm the hell down! I told you, I'm not gonna digest you," Bree says.

<<Time 16.25>>"Ow! Come on, what are //*urp*// you doing in there? //*URP*//" Bree protests as her stomach starts to have second thoughts about you.

I need--" Before she can finish her sentence, the walls of her stomach give in and start to squeeze you hard, waves of pressure forcing you up into her esophagus. You feel her try to swallow you back down, but it's not enough. Your head pushes back into her mouth, followed quickly by the rest of your body as you're released back into the outside world. You scramble onto your feet as quick as you can. <<if $turn > 2>>Your clothes are pocked with small holes and tears where her stomach was starting to eat away at them.<<else>>You're completely drenched in digestive fluids, but otherwise no worse for wear.<</if>> Bree is bent over coughing in front of you.

She looks up at you, glaring, and you decide not to stick around any longer, bolting away down the hall. In your escape, you make the mistake of looking back to see if she was following you just as you turn a corner. You crash headfirst into someone coming the other direction, knocking both of you onto the ground. You quickly push yourself up off of her and shift backwards. Your cheeks flare up a little as you realize you faceplanted right into her chest. "//MMmm...//" the girl grunts, looking at a now empty coffee cup in her hand, then down at the wet mark you left all over the front of her. She's a tall brunette with long, flat hair and green eyes. She's wearing a dark green sweater, tight jeans, and a pale pink scarf. On the floor behind her, a splatter of spilled coffee is settling into a puddle. Luckily, none of it seems to have actually splashed //onto// her.

"Um, it's Bree," your captor says as she starts to slowly walk again. "Oh right, you were last year's winner weren't you?" "Yep, that's me! Still going strong." "What the hell is going on here?" you shout, pushing out against Bree's stomach. "<<if $turn > 3>>She has been //so// annoying on the walk over," Bree says, squeezing you through her gut.

Time to get out then, bitch," Bree says, wrapping her arms around the lower part of her gut. She pushes in on you, and the stomach walls crash in hard, relentlessly squeezing you upward. After a few painful seconds, your head finds its way up into her throat and you're ejected from the humid depths of her body out into the cool air of an unfamiliar room.<<set $outfitState to "drenched">> "Ugh, will someone //please// tell me what's going on here?" you grumble as you sit up and get your bearings. <<if $maeveSisterRelation > 0>>Before you've even fully adjusted to being outside of a stomach again, Maeve grabs your arm so tight it hurts and starts to drag you out of the bathroom. "Ow! What--" "I don't know how Sam managed to find herself such a pathetic friend, but I've already had enough of your hopeless ass," Maeve growls, pulling you along with her through her suite. You manage to struggle up onto your feet, but after only a few frantic steps Maeve opens the front door and throws you out into the hall, causing you to stumble and fall back over. "Get the hell out of here," she hisses, slamming the door. You get back to your feet, feeling a little confused.

The girl in the middle, who you assume is Bree based on her position, has long brown hair with blonde tips and is wearing a very loose green shirt.

"I'll see you again later tonight bitch," she says to you with a wink before following Maeve down the hall. <<if $analByMatilda>>You quickly try to make a break for it, having no interest in being anywhere near Matilda again after yesterday. Before you can get anywhere, however, Matilda grabs your arm and pulls you back close to her. "Where do you think--Oh hey, you're my butt buddy from yesterday, aren't you?" she laughs. "Couldn't stay away, could you?" "Get off me!" you grunt, uselessly trying to shake her grip. "What the hell is this?" "Someone just signed you up to be the entertainment at tonight's party! You and your friends here are gonna be the main event," she says with a grin. You look into the bathroom behind you for the first time and notice there are three other very nervous looking girls sitting on the floor, a big X mark on each of their cheeks. Your panic starts to grow. "'Entertainment'?" you say. "Yep, it'll be fun! Although, tell you what..." Matilda says, turning and bending over slightly. She wiggles her hips. "I'll let you get out of it if you and I can have some fun again.~" "NO! Absolutely not I'll do the fucking party!" you shout. "Your loss," Matilda laughs.<<else>>You slowly get up on your feet, still not really sure what's going on.

Using her other hand, she wipes off your cheek, then pulls out a marker and draws a big X across it. "There, that's just so everyone knows who the freshman are," she says before shoving you further into the bathroom. "You all play nice now! Party's not for another couple hours." "Hey, you can't just--" you try to say, but your protest is cut off by Matilda slamming the door. Only a few seconds later, however, it opens again and she hurls a bag with a school uniform in it at you. "Oh yeah, and put this on so you're not all gross," she says. With a grin, she slams the door again. You clench your fists and start to walk toward it. "Don't bother," one of the other girls in the room says. "They put something in front of the door //and// stand right next to it. We're trapped." "Yeah, even if you manage to get out she'll just eat you. There was some blonde girl watching us earlier and one of us managed to make a break for it, but she got gulped down before she even made it five feet," another chimes in. You turn back to them. There's a blonde in a school uniform, a brunette in a hoodie, and a redhead in a bikini. "So what, we're just sitting here until they say otherwise?" "You got a better idea?" the blonde scoffs. "This is a suite full of seniors. We're fucked if we try anything." "Not just any seniors, this is Maeve Mckenn's suite," the redhead says. She's sitting on the ground hugging her knees, looking embarrassed. "She's like the top dog at the school. We're double fucked." You sigh and look down at the bag of clothes, then around the bathroom. There's a curtain around the shower at least. "Do any of you know what this party thing is about?" "Not any more than you. Whatever's happening later, we're the 'entertainment'. Seems like a competition of some kind from the sounds of it," the brunette says. "Just go wash yourself off, you look disgusting," the redhead pouts. "At least she gave you a full outfit, mine got totally destroyed on the way over but all the blonde bitch gave me was this bikini that barely even fits..."

After a little while, it swings open, revealing a black girl with short hair on the other side. <<set $metDonna to true>> "Uh, hi, I'm here for the party?" you say. "Are you... alone?" the girl says, squinting at you. She pokes her head out and looks up and down the hall. "Yes? Sorry, was I supposed to bring someone?" The girl bursts out laughing and grabs your arm. "Hey, what are you doing?" you protest as you're pulled into the room. She slams the door behind you, still laughing hysterically. You get a very bad feeling as you're dragged through the suite towards a door that's been blocked off with a dresser. "Donna, what the hell are you cackling about?" an annoyed voice shouts from inside one of the rooms. "You'll never believe this--some freshman just dropped //herself// off!" the girl dragging you shouts back.<<if $outfit is "uniform">> "She's even in uniform already!"<</if>> She grabs a marker off the dresser and draws something on your cheek before you even think to stop her. Using her free hand and her butt, she pushes the dresser aside. "Alright, get in there with your friends dumbass." She opens the door and shoves you in, quickly slamming it behind you. You hear the sound of the door being blocked again, accompanied by her still laughing at you. "What the hell..?" you say, a little stunned by the turn of events. You look around you<<if $analByMatilda>> and your heart skips a beat. You know why it felt familiar coming in--this is Maeve's suite. You're in the exact same bathroom Matilda let you out in yesterday. Except now, you're joined by five other freshman that all have X's drawn on their face. "Fuck..." you mutter under your breath.<<else>> and find that you're in a bathroom. Five other girls are in here with you, each with an X drawn on their cheek.<</if>> "We're all fucked, is basically all you need to know," a blonde girl in a school uniform leaning against the wall says. "What? What's happening?" "We're the 'entertainment' for tonight's party, is all we've been able to get out of the seniors," a brunette in a hoodie standing next to the other girl says. "What's your name? I'm Madison." "$name..." you say. "Ugh, we have to do more introductions..." the blonde sighs. "I'm Bella, that's Karen," she points to a very embarrassed looking redhead sitting on the floor in a bikini, "that's Sadie," she points to a short, dark skinned girl sitting on the seat of the toilet, who gives you a shy wave, "and we don't know who that is," she finishes, pointing to another blonde girl who's staring into the corner of the room. "She hasn't said anything outside of yelling at the girl that brought her here. There, now you're all caught up." "Uh, thanks I guess," you say with a sigh. "I'm gonna kill Cherry if I make it out of this..." you mutter to yourself. Without much else to do, you take a seat on the floor. Cherry said the party was starting soon, but over an hour passes without anyone coming to retrieve you for whatever they're planning.\ <<else>>You and the other girls spend a few hours trapped in the bathroom. Reluctantly, you did wash off in the shower and change into the uniform you were given. While you were all just waiting around, you and the other girls got to know each other a little. Bella, the blonde, was the first to get dropped off and has been here since before noon. The redhead, Karen, showed up not long after. Both got brought here in a stomach like you, though Karen had a much rougher ride. Madison, the girl in the hoodie, <<if $metZoey>>was apparently dropped off by Zoey, agreeing to just come with her willingly after getting cornered. You can't say you blame her.<<else>>was brought in a couple hours before you, apparently delivered by a girl that scared her so much she agreed to just come willingly.<</if>> However, it isn't just the four of you anymore. Two more girls were dropped off in the hours after your arrival--another blonde and a short, dark skinned girl named Sadie. The blonde had the misfortune of getting smuggled in up someone's ass, and you had the misfortune of having to watch them get her out. Although Sadie arguably had it worse, the girl who brought her in getting "sidetracked" on the way there and dropping the poor girl off after spending so long in her stomach that she still seems out of it. Both were given school uniforms by Matilda like you were.<</if>> "This is bullshit!" Karen says, still sitting on the ground hugging her knees to her chest. "Why did everyone but me get a uniform?" "Oh my god, //shut up//," Madison groans. "We've heard it a thousand times, we get it. You don't like the bikini. Get over it." "Um, the top few buttons are missing on my uniform, if that makes you feel a little better Karen," Sadie quietly chimes in. "Oh boo-hoo, you've got a little bit of cleavage showing, big whoop. I'm basically naked here! This top may not even fit //you// right, it's way too big for me! One wrong move and my girls are out for the world to see..." Karen rants. "...Hey wait a minute! Literally all of you have an extra layer. Someone give me their jacket!" "Will you finally be quiet if I do?" Bella sighs. Before Karen can respond, the door to the bathroom flies open. "Got one last last friend for ya, freshies!" <<if $metMatilda>>Matilda<<else>>a tall redheaded girl<</if>> says, pushing another girl wearing glasses into the room. She's got short brown hair with a mint green streak running through it.<<if $metClaire>> She seems familiar.<</if>> "Oh, and I wouldn't be ditching any layers if I were you," she says, nodding at Bella. "Just a little tip from someone that knows what's coming. I'll be back in just a couple minutes, so sit tight." Giving a wicked grin, she heads out of the room and slams the door behind her. Bella looks away from Karen and slowly slides her jacket back on. "Hey come on!" Karen protests. "She's just saying that to mess with me, give it to me!" <<if $metClaire>>"Fancy meeting you here $name," the newcomer says, rubbing the X on her face with one hand. You finally remember her--it's Claire from yesterday. "Think you could fill me in on //why// we're here?" "Hey Claire.

"Ah, c'mon, sometimes you just gotta roll with things," Claire says with a shrug. "What's her deal?" She points towards the blonde girl, who's currently pacing back and forth in the corner. "Oh, the girl that brought her here shoved her up her butt to transport her. We're pretty sure she's a little traumatized from that, she hasn't said a word to us," you say. "Yikes, is it really that much worse than going in someone's gut?"<<if $analByMatilda or $analByOlivia>> "It's pretty rough..." you reply quietly.<</if>> The door suddenly flies open again, <<if $metMatilda>>Matilda<<else>>the redhead from before<</if>> standing on the other side with a big grin on her face. <<if $metMaeve>>Maeve is standing behind her this time.<<else>>A much shorter dark haired girl with green eyes is standing behind her this time.

Here let me--" "Go get me a new one," the girl cuts in, handing you the cup in her hand. Her face is pretty unreadable, her eyelids slightly drooping and her mouth completely flat. She doesn't seem all that mad, at least. "Oh, um, where did you--" "You have to buy it at the cafe after breakfast," she sighs, getting back on her feet and shaking her outstretched hand for emphasis. You cautiously take the cup from her. "Two cream one sugar." "Uh, sure thing, but I'll have to go back to my dorm for money, and I'm a little gross so I need to wash up and get changed," you say. "Yeah, so do I now." "Right..." "Bring it to my dorm, L120," she says, walking away without waiting for any kind of confirmation. You watch her go with a slightly confused look, but with a shrug you start to make your way back to your own dorm. You cross over the bridge, head downstairs, and quickly return to your room. When you enter, you find Emma sitting on her bed, looking worried. "$name? You alright?" she asks, quickly looking you over. <<if $outfitState is "damaged">>"What happened to you, I thought everyone's stomach was weakened?<<else>>"That's just from class, right?<</if>> And why do you have coffee?" "Well, someone grabbed me on my way back," you say, putting the cup down on your bedside table. "I managed to get back out, so I'm fine, but while I was running away I accidentally knocked this other girl over and spilled her coffee. I promised I'd get her a new one after I got cleaned up." "Huh, that's pretty nice of you! I'm so glad you're okay though."<<if $emmaRel > 2>> She shifts to the edge of her bed. "I'm sorry, I should have waited for you after class! She probably would have left you alone if there were two of us..." "Don't worry about it, not your fault at all!" you assure her. "I'm just gonna take a quick shower and change."<<else>> "Thanks.

You take a quick, five minute shower to refresh yourself, then dry off, don your new outfit, and head back into the room, not wanting to leave the girl waiting too long. You toss <<if $outfitState is "damaged">>what's left of <</if>>your old clothes in the trash and don the new outfit you picked out.<<if $escapismLabMina or $escapismLabHaley>> They probably would have been salvageable after lab, but not after going through Bree's stomach as well.<</if>><<if $outfit is "uniform">><<set $wardrobeUniform to false>><</if>><<set $outfitState to "normal">><<set $outfit to "normal">> "Well, I shouldn't leave her waiting too long so I'll be back in a little bit," you tell Emma as you return to the room. You quickly fish a few dollars out of your wallet and grab the empty coffee cup, noticing for the first time that neither of you bothered to pick up the top. <<if $emmaRel > 2>>"You want me to go with you? Stay a little safer?" Emma offers. "Thank you! But I'm sure I'll be okay, no way I'll get grabbed twice this close together, right?" "It's more likely now that you said it, but I guess if you're sure," Emma says with a slight smile. "Stay safe!"<<else>>"Stay safe!" Emma says.<</if>> You head out into the hall and back upstairs. As you move across the bridge and through Lampton, you carefully check the halls to see if Bree is still lurking before hurrying through over to the dining hall. You head down through the relatively empty room and over to the cafe in the far corner. You hadn't paid it any attention outside of its mention on the tour, so this is your first time seeing what it's actually like inside. It's like a mini convenience store--a few shelves and refrigerators filled with snack food and drinks lining the cramped walls. In the middle of the floor is an island with a few miscellaneous non-food supplies, like tissues and notebooks. At the far end is the counter where you pay, a very bored looking woman working the register. It looks like they sell a few baked goods on top of everything, and to the right side of the counter you spot a milkshake machine and, finally, a coffee maker. You head over and refill her cup as she requested, getting a new lid to put on it. After paying, you hurry back out and head down the halls of Lampton to find her room. It doesn't take too long to arrive at the door. You give a hesitant knock. "Um, I have your coffee," you say when there's no response, knocking again a little harder. Just as you're starting to fear you have the wrong room, the door slowly creaks open about half way. The girl from earlier stands in the opening, now wearing a mint tank top instead of the sweater you ruined but keeping the same scarf draped around her shoulders. There's a book in her left hand that has her full attention. She holds out her other hand to take the coffee without even looking up at you. "Sorry again about earlier, um..?" you say, handing her the cup. "Charlotte," she says, darting her eyes over to you for only a second. She grabs the coffee and immediately takes a sip, seems satisfied, then turns away to head back into her room. "Thanks," she says, kicking the door closed behind her. You blink and stand there for a few seconds, expecting there to have been a little bit more to that interaction. With a shrug, you head down the hall towards the stairs to return to your own dorm. <<Charlotte 1>> You return to your room just in time for your stomach to growl, evidently having been enticed by what you saw in the cafe. <<if ($day3DormKey is "taken") and (($fullness + 4) <= $maxFullCap)>> You suddenly remember that room key you found back in Survival, and your stomach growls even louder at the thought.

"Maybe," you reply. "Heh, thanks $name."<<else>>"Thanks $name! It won't be too too long," Emma replies.<</if>> The two of you relax in your room a while longer, chatting a little to pass the time. You flip on the TV and lounge back on your bed. You settle on watching a new crime show that people have been buzzing about, but by the end of the first episode you've both pretty much lost interest already and turn your attention to your phones instead. Right around the time your hunger is really starting to kick in, Emma yawns and speaks up. "Alright, I think I'm ready for some food now. Wanna head out?" "I thought you'd never ask," you say, practically jumping off the bed. "Jeez, I didn't think you were that serious," Emma says with a laugh as she puts her shoes on. "Sorry for keeping you that long." <<if $emmaRel > 2>>"Just don't let it happen again," you tease.<<else>>"Ah you're fine, no worries," you reply.<</if>><</if>> You head out into the hall and start to make your way over to Lampton. The rain is finally starting to slow down, but it's still far too wet out to go outdoors if you don't have to. Everyone else seems to have felt the same and the path over the bridge and down to the dining hall is actually pretty busy at the moment. Luckily, you don't find any trouble on the way over, or even see any familiar faces for that matter. The two of you fix your plates and find a table to sit at, choosing one near the windows. Pizza is on the menu for dinner tonight, the buffet line consisting of only salad and pizzas with various kinds of toppings. It's not the best you've ever had, but far from bad. "Well, today has been much better than yesterday!" Emma says as she digs in<<if $emmaInjured>>, using her left hand to hold the slice to avoid getting her bandage all greasy<</if>>.

Like, this happened while we were just walking down the hall!" "I know what you mean, I thought you were gone for good for a while yesterday... But everything worked out in the end! And we've already seen that things have mellowed out after yesterday, I don't think you need to worry as much about that happening again." "Unless I run into Zoey again..." Emma mumbles. She starts to fidget with her hair a little again. "O-Oh, but I don't wanna be a downer! I'm okay, really. I'm a big girl, you don't have to worry about me!" she says with a half-hearted laugh. <<if $emmaRel > 3>>"It's your hair, isn't it?" you say. "Huh?

Luckily, she isn't paying much attention and turns to head straight for the toilet, not even fully closing the door. Right as she seems to register the other figure in the mirror and does a double take, you make your move. You shove the door closed with a click and rush toward her.

She still doesn't react much, just squirming her arms against your grip a little bit. She tries to say something, sending an odd sensation through your throat. You swallow hard to move her along, gliding across her chest as you lean down to bring her in. With one more swallow, you grab her legs and hoist them up overhead to make finishing the job easier. "Gah!" You hear her muffled voice gasp. Your stomach must have stretched enough for her to have room to talk. "What do you mean Karen let you in? Did she really not like me that much?" You keep swallowing, feeling her hips push past your lips. She starts to kick her legs frantically, but it's much too late and you have no trouble keeping her under control. It's not long before her feet slide past your tongue and the last of her is on its way down to your gut. You <<if $fullness > 5>>rest a hand on your bloated belly and grimace a little, feeling absolutely stuffed.

Unfortunately, before she's even crossed the threshold of the door, the two of you lock eyes in the mirror. She stops dead in her tracks and for a brief moment neither of you react. Then she shrieks and jumps back away from the bathroom. "Who the heck are you!?" she screams, her eyes wide. "God you almost gave me a heart attack... How did you even get in here?" "Uh... it's me Karen?" you say sheepishly, stepping out from behind the door. You slowly start to creep closer to her, not giving up just because you lost the element of surprise. "What? No you're not, I know what Karen looks like dummy! How did you--Hey, stay back!" Jackie says, brandishing her own key like it was a knife. "This is my space, you can't get me here!" "You wanna bet?" you grin, lunging forward. To your surprise, she actually jumps out of the way in time and completely evades you, making you crash into one of the beds. You quickly get back up, but find that she's now standing in the bathroom with the door almost closed, only her head and the hand that's threatening you with her key sticking out. "Go away please!" she says, jabbing the key in your direction. You start to rush for the door, but with a yelp she slams it in your face. Desperately, you try to force it open, but you hear the lock click moments before you can make the attempt. "I can stay in here all day if I have to!" Jackie calls out. @@color:orange;Your strength fails you.@@ You bang on the door a few times, but you realize there's no point.

With a smirk, you reach for Karen's key and start to plan out your next visit to Jackie, but when you don't find it you freeze.

Now that it's over, you feel like overcoming such intense fighting made the meal even better. To be sure of your victory, you give your stomach a firm squeeze. Your fingers sink in quite a bit and you can feel how soft its contents have gotten. There's no response other than a loud belch escaping through your lips. Content with your findings, you sink back into the bed.

It's noticeably smaller and smoother than it was when you fell asleep, and even seems a little smaller than it was before you sat up. Giving your bloated belly a squeeze, you can feel that everything inside is just a sloshing mess at this point. @@color:lime;Jackie has been digested!@@ You move to the edge of the bed and stretch out, taking a look around the room.

"Okay jerk, since I'm alive and you had your fun, let's call this a draw. Give me Karen's key and I won't eat //you//." You pause for a moment and think about making a break for it, but the door is locked and closed, and you're really in no condition for that right now anyways. "Fine..." you say with a cough. You hold out the key for her to take. "Alright then!" she says, quickly grabbing the key. "Now please get out of here!"

You squeeze your stomach muscles and push in on your gut from below, attempting to eject the girl. It takes a minute of keeping up the pressure, but eventually your stomach gets the message and starts to push her up into your esophagus. You gag and bend over despite trying to prepare yourself for the feeling. It's painfully slow, but eventually Jackie slides all the way back out of you and onto the ground. "Whew, thank goodness," she sighs, sitting up. Her clothes are in tatters and she's covered from head to toe in stomach acid. "You're disgusting," you say, bent over next to the bathroom wall coughing and panting. You hear the ringing sound of something metal falling to the floor, but don't pay it any mind. "Hey, you're lucky I didn't pee myself when you jumped out to grab me!" Jackie pouts. "And you're a jerk! Please leave!" "Whatever, I'll just be back later..." you grumble. You head for the door and out into the hall, already regaining your composure. With a smirk, you reach for Karen's key and start to plan out your next visit to Jackie, but when you don't find it you freeze. You cover your face with one hand and sigh, realizing the odd sound you heard earlier must have been you somehow managing to drop the key. Feeling defeated, you start to trudge back to your own dorm. <<include "playerPredFail">>[[Head to your dorm->September 3rd- Dinner: Emma]]

"What the //hell// is going on here!?" Bella suddenly blurts out. There's a brief moment of silence before most of the crowd bursts out laughing. "Ten bucks says that one loses first round!" someone shouts. "No shot she makes it. If she's still in round two I'll do a body shot with someone," another laughs. "What's going on, is that you're all very lucky!" Maeve says with a grin, starting to pace around you and the other freshman. "We're gonna run you all through three trials, whichever one of you manages to win it all not only //doesn't// get eaten, you get a prize to go home with! Everyone who loses though... well, no party's complete without snacks, right?" "NO! You can't do this, we're not just toys you psychos!" the second blonde in your group suddenly shouts. "I'm leaving!" She makes a break for it, sprinting towards the front door. She actually manages to slip past most of the girls in the way, but as soon as she gets a hand on the door handle someone grabs her. The crowd parts a little to watch as a girl with platinum blonde hair effortlessly pulls her away from the door with one arm and shoves her head into her mouth. There's some chanting and laughing from the crowd as she makes short work of your former companion, sealing her away in her writhing belly. With a bored expression on her face, she puts the lollipop she'd been holding in her other hand back into her mouth and leans against the wall. "There's one every year," Maeve chuckles. "Thanks Shina!" The girl nods in response, her belly thrashing wildly. "Anyone else wanna try that? No? Good!" Maeve says, slinging the metal arm over her shoulder. "She didn't even get to hear the best part--you all get to enjoy the party too while you're still around! Go ahead and mingle and have fun while we get things set up for the first trial. Gotta give everyone a chance to pick their favorites," she laughs. She holds the arm up over her head. "Alright, let's get this thing going! We've got the whole lounge ready, so don't just sit here trashing my suite!" There's a cheer from the crowd and music starts to blare as Maeve and several others filter out into the hall. You and the other freshman stay put, a little dumbstruck. The group is quickly broken up, however, by the upperclassmen that stayed behind swarming you with offers of beer and far from gentle suggestions to come chat with them. You're dragged away by two girls that give you a bottle of something bitter and force you to drink. Their attention quickly shifts to fighting over Karen, however, and you slip away to hide in an open spot in the corner. "Hey," a sultry voice says just as you feel like you've evaded everyone's attention. You turn to the source and almost jump back in surprise. It's an extremely pale girl with long, messy black hair in an unusual getup. She's wearing fishnet stockings and boots, fingerless gloves that continue past her elbows, and heavy, dark eyeshadow. A silver halfmoon dangles from one ear, and a black choker with a similar charm is around her neck. Her very revealing tank top shows off an impressive bust. "Uh... hey," you say, nervously taking a sip of your drink. "Aw, you look scared. Name's Nadia," she says, cocking her head a little<<if _nadia>> and not so subtly looking you over<</if>>. "I'm $name. Shouldn't I be scared?" you say. "This is insane." "Heh, I guess it is," she replies. "Just have some fun with it while you can, maybe you'll win." "Maybe..." "Or maybe you'll end up clogging Maeve's toilet by the end of the night." "Thanks for that..." "At least you aren't her," she says, nodding towards Karen on the other side of the room. She's on the couch being held in someone's lap, with three or four others all fawning over her. Her face is bright red and she has a look like a deer caught in the headlights. "Yeah..." you mumble<<if _nadia>>, catching Nadia clearly checking you out again when you turn back to her<</if>>. You take a long sip of your drink. "So, uh, how often do you have to replace that?" you ask with a nervous laugh, gesturing to her choker. "Oh this little thing? It's pretty flexible," she says with a smirk. She hooks her thumbs under the sides and stretches it out so far it could fit over her shoulders.<<if _nadia>> Her eyelids lower a little and before you can react, she steps closer and pulls it over your head. You blush furiously as she lets go and it snaps against the back of your own neck, pushing you right up against her. "You know, I think you're too cute for this..." she says, tracing a finger along your shoulder. "How about I get you out of here and we go have our own fun?" "Y-You can do that?" you say, looking away from her as your heart starts to race. She puts a hand on your chin and turns your head back to her. "Of course darling, you might not like how though..." she says with a smirk. She leans in closer like she's going to go for a kiss, but after letting the moment hang she instead finally frees you from the embrace of her choker. "You'll have to throw the first game." "What? Won't that just get me eaten?" you say, backing up a little and taking a deep breath. "Yeah... by me," she says. Her tongue quickly flicks between her lips. "We can't just walk out of here with that big X on your face. But... if you lose this match, I can make sure I'm the one that gets to eat you. Then I just leave and take you back to my dorm, and you and I can start having a party of our own.~" "That's..." You catch yourself looking her over and shake your head. "That's super risky. How can you be sure you'll be the one to... get me?" "Oh so you //are// interested in the other part~" she giggles. "I have my ways. I can promise it'll be me if you're the one on the menu. And I promise I'll make it up to you if you just take a quick ride in my guts.~" \ <<link "Agree">><<replace "#choice">><<set $trialSavedByNadia to true>>You can't deny that Nadia's been pushing all the right buttons for you--you're //very// interested in "having some fun" with her. If you stay and participate in Maeve's game, odds are you'll just end up getting eaten anyways, so really there's nothing to lose. "Yes please," you blurt out. "Um, I mean, okay, I'll do it." "That's a good girl~" she says with a smirk. "Alright fresh meat, time for the real fun to begin!" a voice shouts from behind you. You turn to find Matilda standing in the doorway. "Everyone out to the lounge, it's time for trial number one!" "Good luck $name," Nadia says with a wink. [[Head to the lounge->Maeve's Party- Trial One]]<</replace>><</link>> <<link "It's too risky">><<replace "#choice">>This all sounds too risky to you. It seems more like she just wants to eat you but isn't allowed to while you're still in the competition. Plus, you aren't necessarily one to get frisky with someone you just met<<if $eatenBySarah>>, especially after what happened with Sarah and Alesha the first day<</if>>. "Uh, no, I'll just take my chances with the trial," you say, taking a step back. "Well that's a shame," she says. "But if you do make it out without me, maybe we can try this again sometime.~" "Alright fresh meat, time for the real fun to begin!" a voice shouts from behind you. You turn to find Matilda standing in the doorway. "Everyone out to the lounge, it's time for trial number one!" "Good luck $name," Nadia says. [[Head to the lounge->Maeve's Party- Trial One]]<</replace>><</link>><<else>> "It would be stupid to wear a normal one with this little hobby we all have." "Oh, neat," you say. "Alright fresh meat, time for the real fun to begin!" a voice shouts from behind you. You turn to find Matilda standing in the doorway. "Everyone out to the lounge, it's time for trial number one!" "Good luck $name," Nadia says. [[Head to the lounge->Maeve's Party- Trial One]]<</if>>

<<Time 20.5>>You and the other freshman follow Matilda out into the hall, most of you, Karen in particular, looking even more shaken up than before you had time to "relax and enjoy the party". As you exit the room, <<if !$trialSavedByNadia>>your first instinct is to see if there's any possibility to slip away, but <</if>>you find that they've blocked off the way to the stairs with some miscellaneous furniture from the dorm, with any slight hope of using it as an escape route further dashed by Shina from earlier resting against the barricade. The music from the suite fades to just a dull baseline as you move out into the lounge. Here, you get much more of a "wild college party" vibe: the lights are dim, a group is doing shots at a table in the back, and one of the couches is taken up by a couple making out with shameless passion. Like before, the excitement level of the room immediately rises when you walk in. "There's our freshmen!" Maeve says with a grin. She quickly downs the brightly colored drink in her hand and tosses the glass at a nearby girl, an ice cube flying out onto her as she hurriedly catches it. She looks like she's about to tell her off before realizing who she's dealing with. "You all ready for your first trial?" "Not really," you reply. "This is so fucked, can you just let us go?" Bella says. "I don't wanna be here..." Karen mumbles. "That's the spirit!" Maeve laughs. "Don't worry, we start things off slow, and this one's fun for everyone!" She claps her hands. "Donna! Brit! Get to the whiteboard. Everyone gather round!" <<if $metDonna>>Donna and a very busty, long-haired blonde girl immediately jump up and rush over to a board at the back wall of the lounge.<<else>>Two girls immediately jump up and rush over to a board at the back wall of the lounge: a short-haired, bottom heavy black girl, and a busty, pale blonde with long hair.<</if>> You're corralled towards the board as well, all the partygoers forming into a circle around you. Many of them look like they're already pretty drunk. Maeve stands between you and the board, a wicked grin on her face. "Alright, time for the judgement to really begin! For our first trial, we're doing another variation of the fan favorite opener," she says. "It's basically tradition at this point." "Oh shit, sorry Karen! Dibs on her when she loses!" one of the girls you'd seen with her before shouts from the crowd. "Wh-What?" Karen says. "This year we're doing strip //hangman//," Maeve announces. There's a wave of "ooo"'s and cheering from the crowd, along with one "that's dumb". "You should all know how hangman works so I'm not going to explain most of the rules. First things first, we need two teams." Matilda steps up and very quickly splits you up into groups of three. It's you, Claire, and Bella against Madison, Karen, and Sadie. You all exchange nervous glances. "So, the important thing here is that one of //you// is going to be the hangman for your team. Every time you get a letter wrong, your hangman has to take off a piece of clothing. If they end up completely naked or the other team guesses their word, you lose and someone gets to eat them," Maeve explains. There's some cheering from the crowd. "And when you strip, no 'one shoe' kinda bullshit, if it's a pair it comes off together, got it?" "How do we--" Karen starts to say, but Maeve steps forward and flicks her forehead. "I'm not done," Maeve says, narrowing her eyes. Karen whimpers and shrinks away. "Donna is recording for you three," she continues, pointing at your team, "the others have Brit. And... it looks like you're now 'Team Bitch' and 'Team Slut'," she sighs, reading off the board. Some laughter rings through the crowd. "Anyways, you guys pick the word for the other team, whoever goes up to strip tells Donna and Brit what it is. Everyone got that?" "Who's the hangman for each team?" you ask. "You've got thirty seconds to figure that out before I just pick someone," Maeve replies with a grin. <<if $trialSavedByNadia>>For you, it's actually a relief that you get to decide for yourselves. You aren't entirely sure how you're going to manage to throw a game of hangman, but if you're really going along with Nadia's plan it has to be you up there. "Don't worry guys, I'll go up," you tell the others. "Seriously?" Claire asks. "Shh, don't try to talk her out of it!" Bella says. "Thanks for your sacrifice, $name." "I'm sure, as long as we come up with a good word I'll be fine," you say. "What are we thinking?" "How about 'debauchery'?" Claire whispers. "Decent length, kind of obscure, and only one repeating letter. Could be tricky." "I don't even know what that means, so yeah sounds good to me," Bella says. "Sure," you say. You're pretty sure having more unique letters will actually give the other team an advantage in this situation, but since you're secretly trying to lose here you aren't complaining. Maybe you can tell it to Brit really loudly too to make sure you don't have a chance. "Alright, time's up! Team Bitch, who's on the menu?" Maeve demands. "I guess that's me," you say, stepping forward. "And Team Slut?" "Uh, we didn't really--" Madison starts to say. "Wrong answer, it's you!" Maeve says, grabbing Karen's arm and pulling her forward. "W-Wait, how is this fair!" she protests as most of the crowd starts cheering. "I only have two things I can take off!" "I never said it was fair," Maeve laughs. "Now get up there." "Why me..." Karen mumbles, trudging up toward the board. You curse under your breath. How are you going to lose to her with such a blatant advantage? As you walk up to the board, you do think of something that would work. You'll really run the risk of making it obvious you're trying to lose, but it's probably your only option to guarantee a loss like this. "Okay, what's your word!" the blonde girl at the board asks. "A..." you whisper to her. "Alright then!" she chirps, not even batting an eye. She draws a single line on the board and stands next to it, smiling. The whole room erupts into laughter. "Wow, looks like Team Bitch is trying to do their hangman dirty! Round one's gonna be pretty short," Maeve laughs. "It's both admirable and fucking stupid that you didn't just give a different word." Claire and Bella are both giving you a confused look, you just grin sheepishly and give a little shrug. You've never seen someone look as relieved as Karen does right now. "Alright, let's start things off with Team Slut to get this over with." "I," Madison calls out. You facepalm. "Nope!" Brit says, writing an I on the board off to the side. "Madison, come on!" Karen squeals, her face turning bright red. "Incredible," Maeve says with a laugh. "Well, you know the rules, lose part of that bikini." "Yeah, let's see 'em Karen!" someone shouts from the crowd. "Pop that top!" calls another. Several start just chanting "Karen" over and over again. "But there's no way I'm gonna..." The chanting just gets louder. "Oh fine, fine! This thing doesn't fit anyways..." She holds one hand over her chest and, with a whimper, uses the other to start untying her bikini top. The straps go limp and fall away from her. As quickly as she can, she pulls the rest of it off and lets it fall to the floor, immediately crossing her arms and clasping her hands over her breasts. There's a wave of cheers from the crowd. "Well, Team Bitch apparently has a slight chance somehow. Care to guess?" Maeve says. "E," Bella calls out. Claire immediately slaps her shoulder. "Bella! We had to try to guess the word or it's pointless!" "Yeah, your partner's right," Donna chuckles. "Also there's not even an 'e', so go ahead and take something off for us as a little appetizer sweetie." <<if $outfit is "uniform">>You sigh and simply take off the jacket of your uniform.<<else>>You sigh and bend over, pulling off your shoes. There's some muttered disappointment from the crowd that that's what you went for.<</if>> "Let's get this over with..." "A!" Madison shouts without hesitation. "That's right!" Brit says, filling in the only blank space. "And there it is, I'm surprised we actually got some action out of that round," Maeve says, walking up to you. "Sorry, looks like your team loses this one." She grins. "And you know what that means! Who wants her?" There's a brief silence and you frantically scan the crowd for Nadia. In doing so, you notice that several people are looking away with an annoyed expression on their face. You relax a little as she finally steps forward. "I'll take this one," Nadia says with a smirk, swaying her hips a little as she walks up to you. "She looks cute.~" "A sophomore taking first dibs, huh?" Maeve says. She glances around the room, but no one else seems to want you. She shrugs and pushes you forward into Nadia's arms. "Alright then eyeshadow, knock yourself out." Nadia places one arm around your shoulders and pulls you in close, pressing her chest against the top of yours. Her other hand slides down your back and comes to a stop caressing your ass. She looks down at you and bites her lip. "Don't squirm too much alright? Just go down nice and easy for me.~" A shiver runs down your spine and you almost whimper. Steeling your nerves, you close your eyes and wait for her to get it over with. There's no need for you to fake looking scared. The warmth of her breath washes over you moments before you feel her lips begin to slide over your head. She goes slowly, inching you into her mouth as her arms hold you tight. You twitch a little as she gives you some semblance of a kiss before starting to swallow, running her tongue over your lips and flicking the tip inbetween them. A powerful pull from her throat drags you down, and she starts to pick up the pace. Rather than bending over, she tightens her grip with her lower hand and starts to lift you up. She tilts her head back and holds you tight as you're dragged deeper and deeper into her body. Your head pushes through into her stomach, finding a bit of the mushy remains of her dinner still lingering. A few more swallows and your body starts to curl up into the slimy chamber. You hadn't noticed her drinking much, but the air inside her is stained with the clear scent of alcohol. She gives your butt a firm squeeze before forcing it into her eager maw, your legs quickly following. Once your feet are in her mouth, she slows to a crawl, teasing you with her tongue as you gently drift deeper. You start to squirm a little from the attention, and she finally decides to let you be. With one final, heavy swallow, the last of you slides down into her gut. "//Mmm//, cute //and// tasty," she purrs, all but stifling a small burp. You feel her gently run a hand along the top of her belly and down the front, coming to a stop to caress you from below. "You know what, I take back my snark about being a sophomore, that was a pretty good show! I think Ash is even touching herself over there," you hear Maeve laugh. "I'm feeling a little hot myself, I might have to take her somewhere more private for a while~" Nadia says, gently squeezing her gut. "Do what you want, she's yours now. Just get out of the middle--we're clearing the board for round two!" While the muffled sounds of the crowd start to grow more excited, you gently bob up and down with Nadia's footsteps. She comes to a stop for a while, at the edge of the crowd from the sounds of it but clearly still at the party. You feel her give you a gentle pat on the back. You start to think about whether you really trust this arrangement of yours. It's hard to feel safe while you're in a stomach, especially when it's clearly working up to deal with you. She goes on the move again and the party starts to grow quiet, but your nerves still aren't calmed. [[Maybe this wasn't a great idea...->Nadia's Promise- Released]]<<else>>"Any chance one of you two wants to go up?" Bella asks with a nervous smile. You and Claire both shake your heads. "Thought so..." "Let's just come up with a word that'll keep whoever she picks safe," you suggest. "Not like any of us are volunteering." "How about 'debauchery'?" Claire whispers. "Decent length, kind of obscure, and only one repeating letter. Could be tricky." "I don't even know what that means, so yeah sounds good to me," Bella says. "Well..." you say, thinking. It may be hard to guess, but the way this game is set up you feel like having more unique letters is actually an advantage for the other team. Before you can voice your concern, Maeve decides you've had long enough. "Alright, time's up! Team Bitch, who's on the menu?" Maeve demands. "Just pick someone," you sigh. "Gladly, streak you're up!" she replies, pointing to Claire. She shrugs and steps forward. "And Team Slut?" "Uh, we didn't really--" Madison starts to say. "Wrong answer, it's you!" Maeve says, grabbing Karen's shoulder and pulling her forward. "W-Wait, how is this fair!" she protests as most of the crowd starts cheering. "I only have two things I can take off!" "I never said it was fair," Maeve laughs. "Now get up there." "Why me..." Karen mumbles, trudging up toward the board. Claire can't help grinning a little, no longer seeming even a little nervous. Both girls tell Donna and Brit their words and they draw the spaces on the board--yours has eight letters. "Let's get this started! Team Bitch, you're up first," Maeve says. "Okay, uh, 'A'?" you call out. "Nope!" Donna says, writing an A off to the side on the board. "Lose something for us." "Fine, it's kinda hot in here anyway," Claire says with a little shrug. She unbuttons her green overshirt, then gets a little smirk and turns her back to the crowd. She very slowly lets it slide off her shoulders and fall to the floor, revealing the short, black spaghetti strap top she has on underneath. A wave of excitement goes through the room. She turns back with a wink. "See, things are so much better when you play along!" Maeve laughs. "Team Slut, your turn." "'O'," Madison calls out. "Sorry!" Brit says, writing an O on the board. "Show us what you've got Karen!" "Madison, come on!" Karen squeals, her face turning bright red. "Yeah, let's see 'em Karen!" someone shouts from the crowd. "Pop that top!" calls another. Several start just chanting "Karen" over and over again. "Do I really have to--" The chanting just gets louder. "Okay, okay! This thing doesn't fit anyways..." She holds one hand over her chest and, with a whimper, uses the other to start untying her bikini top. The straps go limp and fall away from her. As quickly as she can, she pulls the rest of it off and lets it fall to the floor, immediately crossing her arms and clasping her hands over her breasts. There's a wave of cheers from the crowd. "I hate all of you..." The focus returns to you after a little while. Bella speaks up this time and guesses E. No dice. "Really? You're killing me here guys," Claire says, sliding her sandals off and flicking them toward the edge of the crowd. "Kinda literally." Karen looks like she's about to pass out from the anticipation as she waits for her team to say something. Finally, Madison follows Bella's lead and calls out E, filling in two spaces on the board. "Oh thank god..." Karen says, breathing out so hard she leans forward. The disappointment from the audience is palpable. Things switch back to you and you guess I, making it onto the board as the second to last letter. It doesn't end up mattering, however, because the next call out from the other team is M. "Nope!" Brit chirps. Karen freezes with her eyes wide. "Come on Karen, you know the rules," Maeve says with a grin. "Take 'em off. "But then I... I lost, you're gonna eat me anyways! Just get it over with," Karen says. She tries to back up but Brit nudges her forward again. "Rules are rules, the round doesn't actually end 'till the clothes come off," Maeve says. Her eyes narrow a little. "Do it." "Oooh... this is such bullshit!" she cries. She shifts her arms so that only one is covering her chest, slowly moving the other down to her waist. Most of the upperclassmen are practically drooling as they egg her on. With a shaky hand, she slides off her bikini bottom, leaving her completely exposed. As soon as it drops to the floor, she crosses her legs. "There, are you freaks happy?" "And //now// your team loses," Maeve chuckles. "Alright--" "Me!" a voice calls from the crowd. "I want her!" "Give her to me!" "Shut up you vultures!" Maeve growls. She points to a tall redhead in the crowd. "Rachel, she's yours." There's some moaning from the others in the crowd. "Oh suck it up! She's been drooling over her since the start, and as a Junior that I remember the name of she's got seniority." "Yaaaaaay!" Rachel cheers, stumbling forward. She's clearly already wasted despite it being pretty early in the party still. She rushes over to Karen and picks her up into a hug. "Oh you're so soft! Hehe I'll show you a fun time cutie, don't worry..." Karen looks terrified as Rachel places her back down and turns her around. Before she can protest, Rachel shoves her whole head into her mouth from behind. Then she grabs the girl's arms and pulls them to her side, finally exposing her chest to the crowd of onlookers. Karen starts to panic and squirm while everyone goes wild. Her breasts are soon hidden again as Rachel works her lips over them, the rest of Karen's body soon to follow. A loud belch escapes her lips as Karen curls up into her bloated belly. "Oh she was //*hic*// delicious..." Rachel drools. She stumbles over to one of the couches, Karen visibly thrashing in her gut. She drops back onto the couch, ignoring it's current occupants who barely move out of the way in time. "Someone get me another drink..!" "One down, four more to get gulped. Time for round two!" Maeve says with a grin. "None of you made a choice last time, so: blonde, hoodie, you two are up." "Fuck... fuck!" Bella says as Claire rejoins the two of you. "Quick guys what's our word? I really need a winner!" \ <<link "Jazz">><<replace "#choice">>"Let's go with 'Jazz'," you suggest. "What? But that's so short, it'll be easy," Bella says. "It's short, but mostly made of letters no one ever goes for," you explain. "Trust me, back in high school we played hangman in homeroom all the time and jazz was always the trump card... well, until everyone used it so often that people started immediately guessing jazz if it was a four letter word. But here it'll still work great, promise!" "Alright, I'll trust you. This better work!" Bella says. Reluctantly, she walks up to the board with Madison. The word you're guessing is eight letters long again. "Team Slut, you get to start this round," Maeve says. "Okay, uh, A!" Sadie calls out. "You've got one!" Brit says, filling in the blank. Bella immediately shoots you a look. "Let's go with O," Claire says. There's one O near the end of your word, so Bella's safe for now. "Oh wait I know!" Sadie says when the focus returns to her. "Is the word 'Jazz'?" "It is, good job!" Brit says, filling in the rest of the blanks. "Yes, Sadie I love you!" Madison cheers, rushing back and giving her a hug in her excitement. Bella is giving you a look of absolute betrayal, while you just stare back at her with a vacant, stunned expression. "Damn it, you guys suck, that round was lame," Maeve grumbles. "Who wants the blonde? Give us something more entertaining to watch." "I could go for some blonde right now," someone in the crowd shouts. "I'm still holding out for the shortstack, someone else can grab her." "You want more entertaining?" a short brunette says, stepping forward from the crowd. "Give her to me and I'll take her up the ass!" "Sold!" Maeve laughs. "No!" Bella shouts, backing away. Donna grabs her arms and holds her still before she gets anywhere. "Ooo sit her down on the couch, I have a fun idea," the brunette says with a smirk. Donna obliges and walks her over to an open couch, forcing her to take a seat. The crowd follows excitedly. You watch as the brunette reaches under her skirt to pull off her panties and climbs up onto the back of the couch. "No, you can't... wh-what are you doing?" Bella says, slowly looking up in horror. The brunette wiggles her hips a little and bites her lip. A moment later she drops down onto Bella's head, gasping as it's forced into her body. She comes to a stop on her shoulders for a moment, but with a little push she fits them in. Gravity does the rest, Bella slowly sinking into the girl's colon while she gently slides down onto the couch. You look away when all that's left are Bella's flailing legs, deciding you don't want to watch this. "Well, you four are free to party again for a while, I'll round you back up when the second trial is ready," Maeve says. She smirks. "And try to put on a better show next time, once everyone's nice and drunk there's a whole lot more of them willing to give you the treatment blondie's getting." There's a cheer from the gathering around the couch and you look over. Bella has completely disappeared into the writhing gut of the other girl, who's leaning back with a look of bliss on her face. A loud belch gets your attention from nearby and you glance over to see the girl who ate Karen finishing a bottle of something, her belly already looking much less active.

"That's a pretty tricky one." "Oh, that is a good one! Thanks $name," Bella says. Reluctantly, she walks up to the board with Madison. The word you're guessing is eight letters long again. "Team Slut, you get to start this round," Maeve says. "Okay, uh, A!" Sadie calls out. "Not this time!" Brit says. Madison sighs and takes her hoodie off, revealing a very simple blue t-shirt underneath. "Let's go with O," Claire says. There's one O near the end of your word, so Bella's safe for now. "Hmm... C?" Sadie guesses when the attention shifts back to her. "Nope!" Brit chirps, writing a C off to the side. You and Claire immediately give each other a confused look, then glance at Bella. She shrugs. You decide not to say anything. This match continues for much longer than the first, both sides filling in quite a bit of their words. There have also been a lot of incorrect guesses, both Bella and Madison completely stripped down to their underwear, looking very nervous. Even after buying herself an extra turn on a technicality by taking her earrings off, things are starting to look grim for Bella. Your team is up, with "_l_tto_y" on the board. "Let's see... how about--" "Oh, it's 'Gluttony'!" Claire calls out, cutting you off. "You got it!" Donna says, filling in the rest of the word. "//Shit//..." Madison mutters, burying her face in her hands. "No, the shit comes later," Maeve says, grinning. "Who wants to help her along with that?" "She's no Karen but she is pretty cute..." someone from the crowd muses. "I'm still holding out for the shortstack, someone else can grab her." "I'll take this one," a blonde girl says, stepping forward. "She was hiding more than I thought under those baggy clothes.~" "She's all yours," Maeve says. "Shit..." Madison repeats, keeping her head down. The blonde girl steps forward and starts to swallow her down with no hesitation. Madison doesn't make any real effort to resist, clearly resigned to the fact there's no way out of this situation. The girl makes short work of her, burping and patting her bloated gut in satisfaction. "So you three, what //was// your word? I've been trying to figure it out myself," Maeve says, looking at you, Claire, and Bella. "Well..." "It was 'Psychology'!" Brit says, smiling as she fills in "Psykology" on the board. Maeve's mouth flattens and she takes a deep breath. "Psychology is spelled with a 'ch', dipshit," she sighs. "Oops..." Brit replies, looking at the discarded C on the board. She shrugs. "Oh well!" The rest of the upperclassmen break out into laughter with her, and you notice the blonde girl's gut suddenly kick to life. "Whatever... You four are free to party again for a while, I'll round you back up when the second trial is ready," Maeve says.

<<Time 21.25>>With the first trial over, people quickly disperse around the room. The two girls that ate your former companions are both lounging on separate couches and becoming popular with the other partygoers, who seem very interested in teasing the prey in their bulging guts. The party starts to pick up, someone bringing the speaker out from Maeve's suite into the lounge, filling the air with loud, energetic music. A number of blue and purple lamps that are scattered around the room also get turned on, adding to the atmosphere. You and the other three freshman manage to stick together and keep to yourselves for a little while this time, but it isn't long before more upperclassmen come to drag you into the party.<<if $preyHealth is 10>> The first to come up is a short redhead with an outfit that doesn't leave much to the imagination. Her face is flushed red and her eyes are dilated. "Hey guys, you're doing good so far!" she says, putting an arm on Bella's shoulder. "Sooo, I promised earlier I'd do a body shot with someone if you made it past the first round..." the girl explains, shifting her arm into more of a side hug. "And now that I've seen you like this that someone is you.~ So let's get to it!" "Hey..! What does that even mean?" Bella says, trying to squirm out of her grip. "I'm gonna pour vodka into your belly button and suck it out!" the girl replies with a grin. She starts to drag Bella away toward a table surrounded by a group of excited girls. "Come on, it'll be fun!" "What!? No way!" Bella tries to protest. "Honestly, I'm gonna go watch how this plays out," Claire laughs, following them over. Not long after, the girl that's been adamant about having dibs on her comes to get Sadie to drink with her, leaving you alone.<<else>> Claire and Madison get pulled away first, followed by the girl that's been adamant about having dibs on her coming to get Sadie to drink with her, leaving you alone.<</if>> "Aw, looks like everyone's leaving out the wildcard," a cheerful voice says. Two girls walk up to you: a blonde with blue highlights and a short haired brunette. "Huh?" you say. "Well, you haven't done much or gotten anyone's attention yet, who knows what you'll do in the next challenge. Wildcard!" the blonde explains. "So we wanna figure out what you're about!" the brunette says. She gives you a pat on the back and smiles. "That other girl said your name was $name, right?" "Yeah..." "Well it's nice to meet you $name! We're mixing up screwdrivers in the back, why don't you..." she trails off, her gaze focused on something behind you. The two turn to look at each other, then quickly start to walk away from you. "Uh, good luck!" <<if $eatenByZoeyMulti>>"//You//," someone growls from behind you, giving you a shove. "Hey! What's--" the words catch in your throat as you turn around to find the voice belongs to Zoey. There's a look that could kill in her eyes. "I knew I recognized you," she says. You try to back away but she grabs your arms, squeezing hard. "You need to go back where you belong!" "H-Hey I made it out fair and square!" you protest. "Let me go!" "Shut up!" she growls, pushing you so hard you fall over. "Fresh meat never gets the better of me." "Uh..." You start to scramble back onto your feet, but she leans over and grabs your shirt before you do more than sit up, putting your face right in front of hers. You can smell the alcohol on her breath. The situation is starting to draw a crowd. "I'm a contestant, you can't eat me unless I lose!" "You think I give a shit?" Zoey hisses. She licks her lips, but before things can go further she winces and lets go, her head pulling back away from you. "You bet your fucked up eyes you do," Maeve says, holding Zoey's ponytail in her hand. You never thought you'd be relieved to hear her voice. "Party rules, Pierce. No freshman gets eaten till I say so." Zoey pulls her hair free and turns to Maeve with a menacing glare. She's scowling, but you see a glint of worry in her eyes. "Fuck your stupid contest! If you'd just let us eat them as party snacks like we should be doing this whole thing would be so much more popular." She makes another grab for you but Maeve immediately snatches her wrist. "You're already on thin ice," Maeve says, narrowing her eyes. The tone of her voice sends a shiver down your spine. "So step off before I give you a tour of the school's plumbing like everyone's been asking me to for two fucking years." Other than the music, the party has fallen silent by this point. "No one eats her until she loses, got it freak?" Zoey huffs and takes a step back, but you can still see her rage. "This one is mine. I claimed her before this stupid party even started." "You know what? Fine. You want her that bad, you're part of the show now," Maeve says, grabbing her arm and starting to storm off. Zoey stands her ground. "What?" she hisses. "You're coming with me," Maeve commands, glaring at her over her shoulder. Zoey hesitates for only a second more before willingly following her. The party starts to pick back up and the crowd that had started to form disperses. You get back up on your feet, breathing hard. As if the night couldn't get worse.<<else>>"Hey fresh meat," a voice says from behind you, her words slightly slurred. She puts a hand on your shoulder and pulls back so you'll turn to face her. "Hell...o," you say, <<if $metZoey>>inhaling sharply when you see the source of the voice. It's Zoey from yesterday. "Do I know you?" she says, stepping uncomfortably close. "Uh, no... Who are you?" you say with a nervous laugh. You try to back away but she tightens her grip on your shoulder.<<else>>trailing off as you see the source of the voice. It's a fairly chunky blonde with her hair tied back in a messy ponytail. She's wearing a slanted mauve tank top that leaves a good amount of her practically pot-bellied midriff exposed. Her face is intimidating--dark lipstick, a nose ring, and unsettling eyes. They're mostly a deep blue, but large patches of light brown cut in on both of her irises. "Who are you?"<</if>> "Zoey," She says with a toothy grin. "I've been looking for a snack. You don't really think you can win this thing, do you?" "Well, I'm hoping--" "That's nice," she laughs, cutting you off. She starts to tighten her grip even further. With her other hand, she lifts up her shirt, revealing a large array of tally marks tattooed on her stomach. Your face goes pale. "Don't kid yourself, you know you're just going to end up as another mark by the end of the night. And I don't really feel like waiting around anymore!" You pull back away from her, stumbling and falling over as you barely break her grip. "H-Hey, hang on a second, I'm a contestant! I haven't lost yet, you can't eat me until I lose!" you protest as she starts to close in on you. "I really don't care about the rules," she laughs, reaching out to grab you. Before she can, someone yanks her back by the ponytail. "You better, freak," Maeve hisses. You never thought you'd be relieved to hear her voice. "The freshman's right, no one eats her till I say so, and that includes you." Zoey pulls her hair free and turns to Maeve. She's scowling, but she clearly lost most of her edge as soon as the senior got involved. "Come on Mckenn, just let us eat them as party snacks. It's all they're good for, the competition bullshit is a waste of time!" "I literally could not care less about your opinion," Maeve says, crossing her arms. "Rules are final. Follow them or leave." "Just give me this one, you'll still have enough to have one winner," Zoey says. You get to your feet and start to slowly back away from the two of them. "You know what? Fine. You want her that bad, you're part of the show now," Maeve says, grabbing her arm and starting to storm off. Zoey stands her ground. "What?" she hisses. "You're coming with me," Maeve commands, glaring at her over her shoulder. Zoey hesitates for only a second more before willingly following her. You can't help feeling a little worried about what's to come.<</if>> [[Time to find out what else is in store->Maeve's Party- Trial Two]]<<set $metZoey to true>>

/* preyName is used as a temp variable to track how you died here */<<Time 21.5>>It doesn't take too long after your incident before the music quiets and Matilda announces the second trial will be starting soon. You and the other freshman are all gathered together again in preparation. <<if $preyHealth is 10>>Bella's face is bright red and she has her arms crossed tight when she comes over to rejoin you.<<else>>Whatever Madison got up to during the break, she's now clearly drunk to the point of stumbling a little on her way to rejoin you.<</if>> Maeve returns to the lounge with Zoey, making her stand in the middle of the room. You watch as Donna and Brit start to push the furniture around to make a large open space in the room, while Matilda makes a crude circle on the ground around Zoey with duct tape. "Everyone listen up! The school's resident ogre is really starting to get on my nerves, so we're switching up the second trial to take advantage of the one thing she's good for," Maeve says. She grabs three empty bottles from around the room and sets them up in a triangle around Zoey, each one only a couple feet away from her. Zoey looks annoyed but she's staying put. "So here's how this is gonna work. You see this tape circle? Zoey's got free rein to do whatever she wants inside it, but she can't set foot outside. All you freshman need to do is get in, grab one of those bottles, and get out. If she grabs you or you don't get a bottle, she gets to eat you and //fuck off back to her room.// Got it?" Most of the party seems excited, but someone speaks up in protest. "Wait, so //Zoey// always gets the loser on this one? Lame." There's muttered agreement from the crowd. "Yeah, but then we don't have to deal with her for the rest of the night," Maeve says. The crowd breaks out into a roaring cheer. "Exactly. Plus you get front row seats for the beast bullying some freshman, it should be fun." You and the other freshman all give each other somewhat worried looks. The first trial was straightforward and team-based, this one's a free for all where no ones safe. And it occured to you hearing the rules that it could even be in your best interest to work against the others rather than just trying to outdo them. You have to assume they've had the same thought. "Alright, let's get it started!" Maeve says, clapping her hands together. "Whenever you punks are ready, go ahead and step into the ring." <<if $eatenByZoeyMulti>>Claire immediately sprints into the circle, charging for the nearest bottle with reckless abandon. When she gets close to where Zoey is, she dives for the bottle, grabbing it and sliding into a roll that leaves her just outside the circle. After a brief pause, she gets back on her feet and gives a bow, grinning ear to ear. A wave of cheering spreads through the crowd at the impressive maneuver. Zoey, however, never even turned to look at her, let alone made any attempt to stop her. She's had her eyes locked firmly on you since she was stationed in the circle. You get a strong feeling that this is rigged against you. Playing dirty might be the only slim chance at getting out of this one outside her stomach. \ <<link "Sacrifice one of the other freshman">><<replace "#choice">>\ <<set $karma -= 1>><<set $stamina -= 15>>You may not feel good about it, but if she's this focused on you the only shot you have at surviving is to use someone else as a meat shield. Getting a plan in mind, you step slightly into the circle. "Come and get me bitch!" you call out. "Gladly," Zoey replies with a wild grin. She starts to charge forward at you. "Sorry!" you say, turning to your right. <<if $preyHealth is 10>>Bella<<else>>Madison<</if>> gives you a confused look, but before she can react you grab her arm and pull her forward. With all the strength you can muster, you push the poor girl right into Zoey and run to the right of her. You keep running until you grab one of the remaining bottles and dip back out. Out of breath and in slight disbelief, you finally look back to see how your play worked out. Zoey and <<if $preyHealth is 10>>Bella<<else>>Madison<</if>> are both on the ground, Zoey kneeling and holding your victim to the ground by the neck. She looks like she's about to pop a vein. "Haha! Now there's a real competitor," Maeve laughs. The rest of the party is giving a mix of cheers and laughter at your display. "That was cold-blooded." "You slimy little..!" Zoey roars. In her anger she starts to grip <<if $preyHealth is 10>>Bella<<else>>Madison<</if>> hard enough that she's gasping for breath. "When I get my hands on you I'm gonna drag it out for //hours//." "Well that won't be till another day, if she even makes it through the last trial," Maeve cuts in. "Eat the one you've got and get the hell out of here." Zoey glares at her, then you again, then grunts. She very roughly grabs her prey by the shoulders, shoving her head into her mouth while she's still coughing and sputtering for breath. <<if $preyHealth is 10>>She tears the girl's bra off with one hand<<else>>She wrestles the girl's hoodie off<</if>>, then proceeds to swallow the rest of her down. The way she forces her down is so aggressive that you cringe just watching it happen. With her belly swollen and squirming, <<if $preyHealth is 10>>Bella's bra<<else>>Madison's hoodie<</if>> in hand, Zoey rises back to her feet and stands glaring at you again. One of her eyes twitches. "Good, there's one part down, now get to the 'get the hell out' step," Maeve says condescendingly. "You know where the exit is." Zoey's gaze lingers on you for a little longer before, finally, she storms off, taking poor, thrashing <<if $preyHealth is 10>>Bella<<else>>Madison<</if>> with her. You breathe a sigh of relief. Neither of the other freshman will look you in the eye. "And that's that. A quick one, but most of our finalists proved their worth," Maeve says, making a beeline for the table with the alcohol. "Leave the couches how they are, we're using the circle again for the final round." <<set $preyHealth to 4>>[[One more to go...->Maeve's Party- Trial Three]]<</replace>><</link>> <<link "Try to just make a break for it">><<goto [[Trial Two- Fail]]>><</link>><<else>>Claire immediately sprints into the circle, charging for the nearest bottle with reckless abandon.

Zoey glares at her and snorts like a bull, then turns back to you and the others, looking much angrier than before. <<if $preyHealth is 10>>"How did she... Fuck, this one's scary," Bella says.

"Yeah that... that sounds like it could work," Bella says, giving a worried look in Zoey's direction. "We both help until the other has their bottle, right?" "Yep, let's do it," you say. You take a deep breath, then nod at Bella with a reassuring smile. She nods back and you both run forward into the circle. When you get close to Zoey, rather than splitting up like you promised, you lunge toward Bella and push her forward. "$name!" she shrieks as she stumbles forward right into Zoey's waiting arms. The crowd starts cheering. "No no no, how could you!" You ignore her, dashing for one of the bottles, grabbing it, and getting out of the circle. You look back in time to see Zoey shove Bella to the ground. She drops down on top of her, pinning her beneath her weight. "Ow! Get off me!" Bella says, clear panic in her tone. "Now why would I do that?" Zoey says, pressing herself further down onto her. "You just lost, fresh meat.~" You watch as Zoey shoves her head into her mouth, drooling over her prey. With her head secured, she sits up, Bella frantically trying to push her back and free her head. Zoey ignores her struggle and grabs one of the girl's breasts, squeezing hard. While Bella's squirming intensifies, Zoey uses her other hand to unhook her bra, then pulls back on the cup she's gripping so hard that one of the straps simply snaps. Content with her trophy, she starts to swallow. The crowd doesn't get to enjoy the view of her exposed chest for long, as Zoey makes quick work gulping down the rest of the girl. She stands back up and slaps her bulging gut, letting out a massive belch. The crowd cheers. "And there we have it, round two over!" Maeve announces. "Now get the hell out of here, Pierce." Zoey rolls her eyes, but does as she's told, storming off toward the exit with a thrashing Bella in tow. She makes sure to walk right through you and the other freshman on her way out, pushing out a burp and giving an evil grin as she passes by. Despite basically getting a free pass on this round, Sadie looks more shaken up than you or Claire. Neither of them will look you in the eye "Someone turn the music back up," Maeve says.

<<Time 22.5>><<set _ring to 0>>After the second trial, the party really picks up. By now the alcohol has even caught up with those drinking more responsibly, and it shows. The area cleared for Zoey has quickly become a dance floor, filled with upperclassmen moving with the skill and confidence only drunks can have. Claire has found herself coerced into joining them, looking very uncomfortable as one of the girls that was talking to you before grinds up against her. You and Sadie haven't fared much better. You're both seated on one of the couches in the back next to the girl who ate Karen, getting pressed against her gurgling gut from either side by an unbreakable hug. It's more booze than Karen in there at this point based on how soft it is and how the girl is acting. A few other girls are hanging around, alternating between forcing drinks onto you, playing with the other girl's belly, and arguing with each other over which of you is going to win. Poor Sadie also has the girl who has repeatedly called dibs on her embracing her from the other side and refusing to let go. You both breathe a sigh of relief when the music quiets and Maeve finally calls for the final trial to start. "Everyone clear the floor, it's time for the finale!" she shouts. "Freshman, get out here!" You're finally released from the girl's grip, and you and Sadie hurry over to the middle to regroup with Claire. She'd been mostly playing along with things happily up till now, but you can see in her eyes that the night is finally wearing her down. The other partygoers form into a disorganized crowd around the ring of tape on the floor. "We're down to three contestants, but only one can be worthy!" Maeve says, pacing around the three of you. "Will it be little Sadie?" she says, stopping and putting a hand on Sadie's shoulder. There's some cheering from the crowd. "We can fuck instead if you win!" her fangirl shouts. Sadie blushes and looks down at the ground. "Or maybe Claire, the most cooperative one?" Maeve says. A lot of cheers break out for her, obviously the fan favorite. "Or could it be $name that will win it all?" You get barely a murmur from the crowd, and one girl even boos. You throw your arms up, not sure what you did to draw their ire. "Alright then, this one's simple as can be," Maeve says, stepping out of the taped off area. "Show us you've got what it takes to survive here. Last one left in the ring wins. Only rule is you can't eat each other, anything else is fair game. Go! Fight!" The three of you all look at each other, backing away a little to stay safe. The crowd starts to go wild with cheering, many shouting in support of Claire or Sadie. You still find it a little unfair that no one seems to be on your side, but it doesn't really matter. You just need to focus on staying in the ring. "Well, we don't really have much choice here guys," Claire says. "So, nothing personal." You notice her and Sadie nod at each other. You're on your own here. \ <<link "Focus on evading them">><<replace "#choice1">>\ You get into a loose stance, anticipating them teaming up on you. Sure enough, they both start walking your way. Claire gestures at Sadie, then rushes toward you, Sadie positioning herself to block your escape. Luckily, you were ready for this. When Claire gets close, you lunge to the side like you were dodging a charging bull, twirling around to keep yourself facing your opponents. There's a roar from the crowd, impressed by your move. Claire stumbles and comes somewhat close to stepping out, but manages to recover. You're still in the middle of the ring, in pretty much the same position you started but swapping sides. <<include "TrialThreeFight">><</replace>><</link>> <<link "Fight back">><<replace "#choice1">><<set _ring += 1>>\ Not a fan of being ganged up on, you clench your fists. Rather than waiting for them to make a move, you charge forward. Claire is the first to react, moving to flank you. You turn to face her, going in for a shove. She braces herself. When you make contact, you manage to push her back an inch or so. You keep pushing, feeling that you're overpowering her, but you're interrupted by Sadie grabbing you from behind and shoving you toward the edge of the ring. "Sorry $name!" she says. You turn back to them as quick as you can, only a foot or so from the tape line.

She puts her arms up, but you get a clean push in, knocking her out of the ring. She falls onto her back, making a futile last ditch attempt to grab one of your arms and bring you with her. "One down!" Maeve cheers. She walks over and stands over Claire, who seems content to stay on the ground, with a grin. Some of the crowd cheers, but many seem disappointed at the outcome. "We know who's on the menu, but who will be our winner?" You turn to face Sadie. She looks panicked and starts to back away with her hands up. Knowing it's you or her, you move in to finish her off. Before you can actually do anything, she jumps back away from you and trips, falling over and landing halfway out of the ring. The crowd breaks out into a mix of laughter and cheering. "It's okay Sadie, I'll take care of you!" the girl that's been obsessing over her shouts. "Well, a little anticlimactic, but there we have it!" Maeve laughs, walking over to you. She grabs your arm and raises it up overhead. "The freshman worthy of sticking around!" The crowd explodes with excitement, cheering and chanting your name. A huge wave of relief washes over you.

As you expected, Claire comes rushing in to take advantage of the position you've put yourself in. You prepare yourself to fight back, both of you locking hands as you attempt to push the other. The crowd starts to chant and cheer as the two of you grapple with each other right at the edge of the arena. Your arms start to shake and you feel yourself sliding back, but just as things are looking dire, you manage to pull her to the side and toss her out to join Sadie. The crowd explodes with excitement as you bend over and pant, exhausted from the fight. "What an ending! We have our winner!" Maeve says, walking over to you. She grabs your arm and raises it up overhead. "The freshman worthy of sticking around!" A huge wave of relief washes over you as the crowd chants your name. You made it, you're safe.

<<if _ring > 1>>\ "One down!" Maeve cheers. She walks over and puts an arm around your shoulder. "We know who's on the menu, but who will be our winner?" You freeze up, thinking about the gravity of the situation. There's no way out of this--you lost, and one of these drunken upperclassmen is going to eat you. The rest of the trial plays out exactly how you'd expect. Sadie is small and shy, while Claire is limber and has been fully engaged since the start. When it's just the two of them facing off, Claire makes short work of her. "And there we have it!" Maeve says, finally unhanding you to move into the middle. She grabs Claire's arm and raises it up overhead. "The freshman worthy of sticking around!" The crowd explodes with excitement, cheering and chanting her name.

<<Time 22.75>>"Before we close things out by rewarding our winner, we have to deal with the losers," Maeve says, looking over at Claire and Sadie. They've been positioned next to each other at the front of the room. "That includes a special surprise for our freshman here! Second place gets out of this without getting digested too!" she announces, gesturing towards <<if $trialClaire is "second">>Claire<<else>>Sadie<</if>> with a grin. "You'll get to choose one of our lovely hosts to spend the night in, and they'll let you out tomorrow morning... if they remember." <<if $trialClaire is "second">>"Third place isn't so lucky, but you still get a special honor," Maeve says with a grin, walking over behind Sadie and placing her hands on her shoulders. "You get eaten by //me//." "H-Hey wait! I called dibs!" Sadie's fangirl shouts, rushing out of the crowd. A few people gasp. "She's just a sophomore, she's fucked..." someone whispers near you. "Dibs huh?" Maeve says, raising an eyebrow. "Yeah I... I've been after her all night," she says nervously. "Please Maeve, I'll pay you back later." Maeve lets go of Sadie and walks up to her. "No worries, I'll let you eat her." "Oh yay, thank you! See Sadie I to--//EEP//!" the girl says, shrieking as Maeve suddenly grabs her and pulls her close. You watch as she swallows her down effortlessly, making it nearly down to her waist in what seems like a single swallow. She crams the girls legs in, then lets out a loud burp. Her stomach thrashes wildly, but she doesn't even flinch. "Alright, get that head up, you better be ready," Maeve laughs, giving her bloated gut a smack. She heads back over to Sadie. "Have fun in there.~" Sadie is paralyzed by fear as Maeve's gut rubs up against her. Maeve leans over a little and picks her up, shoving her face-first into her mouth. Just like the girl before, she seems to just vanish down her throat, slowing a bit once she's in up to her hips. Her legs slide in in quick spurts, seeming to annoy Maeve. Soon enough, Maeve's stomach is bulging out with the mass of not one, but two girls, still seeming to barely strain her at all. Looking closer, the bulges faintly give away that, in reality, she has //one// girl with a very stuffed belly inside of her. Poor Sadie is two stomachs deep. "//*URRP*// There, now everyone's happy," Maeve laughs. The crowd all cheers at the display and she gives a little bow. "Now, for loser number two!" "Fuck, I'm not going in there too am I?" Claire says, staring wide-eyed at her enormous belly. "No, you're not that lucky," Maeve laughs, nudging her with the front of her gut. "First we need volunteers! Who wants to treat Claire here to a night she'll never forget? Front door or back, as long as you don't digest." Several girls step forward, all eagerly trying to coax Claire into choosing them. One flashes her tits and says they can have some fun before she goes in, another just bends over and smacks her ass at her with a wild grin. Claire looks extremely uncomfortable. "Go ahead and take your pick," Maeve says. "You know what, I'm just happy to not die," Claire says after taking a deep breath. "You I guess." She points to a tall blonde girl in a dress. "Yes!" the girl cheers. She rushes over and grabs Claire's hand, then starts to drag her off down the hall. "Come on, let's go somewhere more private.~"<<else>>"Third place isn't so lucky, but you still get a special honor," Maeve says with a grin, walking over behind Claire and placing her hands on her shoulders. "You get eaten by //me//." "Uh, huh, lucky me," Claire says nervously. Everyone at the party slowly starts to chant Maeve's name. She gets a menacing grin on her face and hooks her hands under Claire's shoulders. She closes her eyes as Maeve hoists her up and shoves her head into her mouth. It's astounding how quickly it's over, like Claire just vanished into her in a single gulp. Maeve's gut bulges out with her squirming form, not seeming even a little strained. She gives it a firm smack and belches, sending the crowd into an uproar. "Alright, calm your tits," Maeve chuckles. "We've still gotta deal with loser number two! Now, we're gonna need some volunt--" "ME! I'll take her!" Sadie's fangirl cries, rushing to the front of the room. "Please, I called dibs way at the start!" "You know what? Fuck it, I like the dedication. You actually don't get a choice Sadie, go with her," Maeve laughs, pushing Sadie forward. "YES!" the girl shouts, running up and hugging a shell-shocked Sadie. "See I promised I'd be the one to take care of you! Come on, come on, we need to be somewhere private for where you're going!~" She drags Sadie off up the hall toward Maeve's suite.<</if>> "And now, finally, $name! Donna, Brit, tie her up while I go get the arm," Maeve says. "Wait, what!?" you say. Donna pulls up a chair behind you and forces you to sit. "But I won!" "It's part of your reward!" Brit chirps, walking up to you with rope in her hands. You start to try and get up, but looking around you're reminded that there's nowhere to go. The two girls clumsily tie you down, strapping your legs to the chair and tying your wrists together behind your back. None of the knots are particularly tight, but it's not like you could do anything even if you got out of them. "Hey, you're lucky," Donna says as she stands back to admire their handiwork. "We almost used zip ties this year but that felt a little too intense." "Yeah, cause tying me to a chair with //rope// is some real lighthearted stuff," you say. "Oh relax, this part's just so that you don't resist the real prize," Maeve says, the crowd parting around her as she returns to the lounge. She's holding the prosthetic arm she had at the beginning of the party. It looks pretty sleek, made out of a mix of dull black and white metal rather than trying to imitate a real arm. You can guess what happened to the original owner. "$name!" Maeve suddenly shouts. "By the Hand of Mable, I dub you worthy of attending my school!" She cracks up a little as she moves the arm over your shoulders like she was knighting you. "All glory to the hand!" someone shouts. A mixture of laughter and cheering spreads through the room. You glance around nervously, very confused about what's happening. "Now that that's out of the way, here's the real prize," Maeve says, holding the arm up dramatically. The whole room gets quiet and much of the crowd starts to look worried. "It's Ashley!" Maeve says, bringing the arm down to point at a short, black haired girl in a pink dress. "Wha--No!" the girl shouts as everyone immediately steps away from her. Matilda comes up behind her and grabs her arms. "Why me, I didn't do anything!" "Well that's the problem! Gotta bring freshmen or booze if you wanna be safe," Maeve says. "Or at least not be an idiot and leave before this part. The hand has spoken!" Donna goes to assist Matilda in restraining the girl, then the two of them start to walk her over toward you. "Come on, don't do this!" Ashley protests, trying to hold her ground. Matilda and Donna just pick her up, carrying her over to you. There's a mix of anger and fear in her eyes as her face hovers in front of yours. "Open up $name! Now that you're officially the top freshman, you've gotta eat like one!" Maeve says. [[Continue->Closing Ceremony- Forcefed]]

They nudge her closer to you and, not sure what else to do in this situation, you oblige, opening your mouth wide. Ashley tucks her head down and thrashes against the girls' grip, shouting in protest as they inch her closer to your waiting maw.<<set $capacityXP to 100>> They draw it out as long as possible to mess with her, moving very slowly until her head hits the back of your throat. You instinctively swallow, starting to drag her deeper down into your body. Now past the point of no return, Ashley gives a roar that tickles your throat. She's squirming as much as she can, helpless against the two seniors subduing her. You swallow again, pulling her in up to her shoulders. Donna and Brit look at each other and grin, then lift Ashley up over you. You strain your head back as you're forced to follow, swallowing your outraged prey a little deeper in the process. Suddenly, the two girls start pushing down on Ashley, forcing her deeper into you than your body is ready for. Your eyes water a little as they cram her down your throat, the upperclassman already lashing out at your stomach as she starts to curl up. The crowd starts to chant your name excitedly as Ashley's lower body is shoved into your mouth. You swallow as quickly as you can, trying to match their pace to save yourself the discomfort. With only her feet hanging out of your mouth, Brit pulls off the girl's shoes and gives you a pat on the head, leaving you to finish on your own. You give one last very strained swallow, sending the last of your forced meal sliding down your throat at a more comfortable pace. The crowd of upperclassmen breaks into a roaring cheer as she disappears from the outside world. Once she's fully deposited into your gut, you break into a fit of coughing, your whole chest and neck a little sore from the forced entry. You lean back in the chair as much as you're able, panting. Your gut bulges over the edge of the seat, writhing with Ashley's enraged struggling. You wince, already feeling queasy. "Well, champion, how's it feel to have a junior in your gut?" Maeve asks, resting a hand on the bulge of Ashley's head and giving you a sly grin. "Junior..?" you cough. "Get me the hell out of here!" Ashley roars.

Acting on instinct you make a quick attempt to swallow her back down, but you're relieved more than anything when you feel her head push back into your mouth. "Not so fast Ash," Matilda says with a grin, stepping close to you. "Our champion isn't done with you!" You let out a muffled protest as Matilda shoves her hand into your mouth, forcing Ashley back down your throat. It takes an agonizing few seconds for your body to finally relent and stop trying to resist her efforts, letting Ashley slide back down into your belly with a loud whine. She gives the tender walls a frustrated kick and you shudder. "This is //bullshit//!" Ashley roars. Your gut shakes and writhes as she struggles, throbbing with a dull pain. On the bright side, you're starting to hear clear sloshing sounds accompanying her movements, your stomach ramping up its efforts to deal with her. "P-Please Ashley..." you grunt. "Calm //*urrp*// down, they're not gonna let you go..." "No!" she shouts, giving a hard shove forward. "I'm not getting digested by a freshman!" "Oh come on, you knew the stakes," Matilda says, giving your gut a gentle pat. "Just play your role with some dignity." "Here," a girl says, suddenly dropping in and putting an arm around your shoulder. It's Rachel, the one who ate Karen, still sporting a pretty large belly. She has a bottle in her hand that she holds up to your lips. "Alcohol raises your pain tolerance, it'll help." She slurs her words a little. You don't really have a choice as she pushes the top into your mouth and tips it upside down. You gulp down the liquid as fast as you can, some of it spilling out and dripping down onto your chest. It's pretty low quality beer. You gag and cough when the drink is finally gone. The sudden shower has only further enraged Ashley. "You'll never get her drunk in time like that," someone in the crowd says. "Give her this!" The girl passes a half full bottle of vodka to her. You shake your head in disapproval. "Good call!" Rachel says. Before she can force you to drink again, a sudden sharp pain makes you jolt forward. Ashley is quickly on her way out again, squeezing through your throat even faster than before. Her head starts to crown out of your mouth, but Rachel blocks her. "Noooo," Rachel says. "This stuff isn't for you, silly!" Like Matilda before, she pushes your prey's head back in and forces her down your throat. You squirm in your seat as your body reluctantly accepts her again, breathing heavily. "There, now drink up $name." The crowd's excitement builds, starting to cheer you on as you're forced to chug the larger bottle of much stronger stuff. You can feel yourself getting lightheaded by the time you reach the bottom. "Too much..." you sputter, barely audible over the roaring cheer from the crowd. One thing's for certain--that girl was right. You can already feel yourself getting tipsy. Unfortunately, the added movement of all that vodka splashing around isn't helping your situation with Ashley. Things quickly start to get hazy as your body processes the heavy intake of alcohol. Ashley's ferocity never wavers, but you're feeling it less and less. As stressful as it was getting it down, Rachel was actually right--being drunk is doing the trick. The sharp pains are replaced with a very dull ache that's easy to ignore. The queasiness from all the movement in your stomach, however, is another story. Ashley soon makes her third bid for freedom. This time when she's forced back down, you start to laugh. "Haha... she's a //*hic*// junior..." you giggle. "Ahhh and I'm gonna digest her. For no //*hic*// reason! You guys are crazy! What the hell even happened tonight!" Everyone but Ashley starts laughing along with your rambling. The party continues around you, everyone vaguely paying attention to your ongoing struggle as Ashley desperately tries to break free. Still extremely giddy, you carry out a drunken conversation with Rachel and a few others nearby that even you aren't really following. Eventually, the movement in your gut starts to slow, your belly smoothing out as it churns away at Ashley. Soon enough, the junior's struggling ends completely. Noticing the change, you squeeze your stomach muscles. Immediately, a burp so loud it makes the party go quiet escapes your lips. "Check, please..!" you giggle. @@color:lime;Ashley has been digested!@@ Maeve comes up to you and pokes your belly. Then she pushes in even harder with her full hand, making an odd squelching sounds. There's a pleasant //*slosh*// as she pulls back and your flesh pops back into place. "Yep, looks like she's done!" Maeve says with a grin. "Congratulations to our freshman champion, hope Ash treats you well! Someone untie her." You're finally released from your restraints, immediately bringing your hands forward to rub your belly. You stretch your legs out and carefully try to stand up, immediately stumbling and falling over onto the ground. Using the chair for support, you pull yourself back up, giggling. "Well $name, you survived the trials and claimed your prize," Maeve says, putting her hand on your shoulder. "You're free to go. You're also totally safe till tomorrow if you want to stick around, party's going all night. Do what you want." If you were in the right state of mind, you surely would have gotten out as fast as you could. As it stands, however, the rest of the night is a blur that you can barely remember even as it's happening. You're vaguely aware of dancing, laughing, and at least a few belly rubs, with no concept of how much time is passing. At some point you lost your shirt, but you haven't the faintest clue why. Eventually, your head finally starts to clear up a little, accompanied by a dull pain returning to your gut. Even hours later, judging by how much it's shrunk, your whole belly is tender and sore from the ordeal Ashley put it through. Now that you've somewhat come to your senses, you immediately break away from the party and start to trudge through the halls back to your room. <<include "playerPredEnd">>[[Return to your dorm at last->September 3rd- End of Day]]

<<Time 21.25>><<set $outfitState to "gone">><<set _pleasure to 0>><<set $sex += 1>><<set $nadiaSex += 1>>You put your hand on the door handle, then take a deep breath. Gently turning it, you step out into the room, using your hands to shield your body. Your heart starts to race when you see Nadia. She's lounging on her bed giving you a half lidded stare, stripped down to just her fishnets and black lace underwear. "Come on over~" she purrs, beckoning you with her leg. "Uh, w-what about your roommate?" you ask nervously. "Don't you worry about her, she won't be back from the party until long after midnight, if she comes back tonight at all. Plenty of time for us to have some fun," she says. She leans forward, puffing her chest out a little. "Now come on, I think I owe you for that trip in my stomach.~" You walk over to her, still hiding behind your arms. She pats a spot on the bed and you cautiously sit down at the edge. She smirks and sidles up to you, gently sliding her hand behind your back and getting a light grip on the arm you're covering your breasts with. "You haven't done this before, have you?" she whispers in your ear, running her free hand down your thigh. "Not exactly..." you reply weakly. "That's alright, we'll take things slow this time. Just relax, let me take care of you~" she says softly, gently tugging on your arm. You follow her lead, letting your arm fall to your lap and unveil your bare chest. They give a tiny bounce when they drop to hang free. You inhale sharply as she brings her hand up to caress your right breast, grazing one finger past your nipple. "There we go." She leans in to give you a kiss on the cheek, then lets go to reposition herself. In one fluid motion, she stretches out one of her pale legs and swings herself over to straddle you. You shiver as she traces her fingers up your back and comes to a stop at your shoulders. "You're beautiful, I don't know what you were so worried about.~" You open your mouth to reply, but she places a finger over your lips and smirks. Pushing on your shoulder, she starts to lean forward and you follow her down until you're laying on the bed. With her hair cascading over you, she leans in and presses her lips to yours, wrapping an arm around to caress your neck from behind. After a brief moment of surprise, you return the kiss. She pulls away a little and smiles at you. You look deep into her azure eyes, your mouth slightly agape, feeling your whole body loosen. With a little giggle, Nadia leans back in for another kiss. There's a light smacking sound as she pulls away again, only to quickly return her soft lips to yours. They start to last longer and longer each time, Nadia slowly starting to flick the tip of her tongue out as your mouths meet. When you return the gesture, she escalates, and soon your tongues are winding together in heated passion. You let out a soft moan, and this time Nadia pulls away completely, a small strand of saliva briefly bridging you mouths. You can see her breathing starting to get heavier. She flicks her head to push her bangs aside, then starts to shift herself back over your body. She kisses your neck, then again, a little lower. You moan as she continues down to the center of your chest. She pulls away a little, drifting down over your body with her own so close that you feel the heat of her breath on your skin. Tracing a finger around your navel, she plants one last kiss on your stomach before sliding all the way off the bed and onto her knees. "Are you ready?" she says in a sultry tone, dancing her hands down to rest on your thighs. "Yes..." you say breathily, sitting up enough to look down at her. She grins and gently starts to push your legs apart. You can feel your heart booming in your chest as she puts your flower on full display, holding your breath in anticipation. She smirks at you and leans forward, lingering where you can feel her breath tickling your lower lips for a moment before planting a light kiss on the skin just above them. Pulling back, she brings one hand down to your crotch, the other resting on your inner thigh. A gasp escapes your lips as she gingerly slides her thumb over your slit, starting from the base and rising to give your clit a quick flick before lowering a bit again to pull your folds aside. "She looks like she has seen a //little// fun," Nadia teases. She bites her lip and looks right into your eyes, gently pulling her thumb away. She leans in close and gives a slow lick all the way up your slit, never breaking eye contact. You shudder and arch your back a little. "//Mmmh//, should I keep going?" she asks. "Yes!" you immediately gasp. Nadia giggles and leans in for a faster, deeper lick, this time stopping to make a little circle around your clit instead of pulling away. You moan, a spark of pleasure racing through your body. She keeps going, dancing her tongue through your folds in intricate patterns that leave you begging for more. All the while, she slowly brings her hands up to play with your breasts, getting a firm hold and rubbing your nipples between her thumb and forefinger. A harsh, high-pitched moan escapes your lips, your back arching as you place your hands over hers. You start to pant, a warm, tingling sensation spreading through your whole body as her tongue relentlessly works its magic. Just when it starts to seem like your pleasure is going to overflow, she slows down, giving your clit one last flick with the tip of her tongue before leaning back. "We don't want to rush things now~" she says with a grin. She stands up and throws her hair back, then runs her hands along her curves. "I'm still a little overdressed for the occasion after all." \ <<link "Let her strip">><<replace "#choice1">>Your breathing is still heavy as you watch her start to strip off her lingerie. She crosses her arms and slowly slides her hands up to her shoulders, starting to slide off the straps of her bra but stopping and putting them back in position at the last second. With a seductive smile she bends over and grabs the edge of one of her stockings, showing off her ample cleavage. She slowly slides off the thigh high fishnets one at a time, putting her slender, ivory legs on full display. Her hands slide along her thighs and she turns around. Her body moves like a wave, leaning over even further and arching her back to give you a full view of her ass, then shifting back upright in one fluid motion. She looks over her shoulder at you and pushes off the straps of her bra, then unclips the back. The cups futilely cling to her chest for a few seconds as she turns back to you before gravity finally reveals her bust. They're flawless, still having some perk to them despite being large enough to overflow out of your hands. Her pink nipples are a stark contrast to the pale of the rest of her flesh, further grabbing your attention due to small metal studs pierced through both. She pushes her arms together to show them off, shaking a little to make them bounce. Then she hooks her thumbs under the edge of her panties and slowly leans over to slide them off, gyrating her hips as she goes. When they drop to the floor, she steps forward and raises her arms up overhead, now completely naked save her choker. "Is it everything you'd hoped for?~" she says, swaying a little. "Better," you say, smiling as you take in her body. "You get to do more than just look," she giggles. She guides you to lay back more centered on the bed, then kneels over you. "Show me what you've got.~"<<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">><</replace>><</link>> <<link "Offer to take her clothes off yourself">><<replace "#choice1">><<set _pleasure += 1>>"I-I can take care of that for you," you say, trying to sound seductive but barely getting the words out. You push yourself up off the bed to stand in front of her. "Oh yeah?" she says, raising her eyebrows and giving you a little smirk. She lifts her right leg up and grazes her foot against your thigh. You take the hint, gently grabbing her leg and starting to peel off her stocking, your fingers trembling a little. Nadia smiles and puts a hand on your shoulder to steady both of you. She curls her toes as the netting pulls away, intentionally rubbing against you when she brings it back to the floor. You repeat the process for her other stocking, putting her slender, ivory legs on full display. Getting a bit more confident, you reach your arms around to her back, running your fingers up her spine and settling on the back of her bra. You feel the slightest shiver run through her and she gives you an approving look, putting her own hands on your hips and shifting a little closer. You carefully unbuckle her bra, then let your hands drift to her shoulders and slide off the straps. She gets a little grin and pushes her arms against her chest, forcing you to have to peel the cups off directly. Her breasts are flawless, still having some perk to them despite being large enough to overflow out of your hands. Her pink nipples are a stark contrast to the pale of the rest of her flesh, further grabbing your attention due to small metal studs pierced through both. You stare just a little too long without doing anything and Nadia giggles, turning her back to you. She bends over and wiggles her hips a little. Bringing your hands to her rear, you start to gingerly pull down her panties, sliding them down her thighs until gravity lets them drop to the ground. Once they're off, she steps backward and bumps you back onto the bed with her butt. She turns around and raises her arms up overhead, now completely naked save her choker. "Not too bad, $name~" she says. She guides you to lay back more centered on the bed, then kneels over you. "Show me what else you've got.~"<<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">><</replace>><</link>> <<link "Take charge">><<replace "#choice1">><<set _pleasure += 2>>Feeling much more confident in the heat of arousal, you push yourself up off the bed to stand in front of her. You wrap one arm around her waist and caress her shoulder with the other. "I can help with that.~" "Oh!" Nadia says, biting her lip. "Go right ahead.~" You bring both hands to her shoulders and gently slide off the straps of her bra. You let your fingers trace back along the fabric until you're cupping her breasts. Feeling extra daring, you slide your hands up under her bra from below, gently squeezing the plush flesh below. Nadia lets out a little gasp, her lips curling into a crooked smile. You tease one finger over her nipples, finding a small piercing in both, then move your hands around to her back. While you unhook her bra, you lean in and give her a kiss, taking the garment with you when you pull away. Leaning back to admire her fully exposed bust, you get an idea of how to handle the rest. You put a hand on her shoulder and guide her onto the bed. She gives you an eager look, leaning back and lifting her legs up, offering one foot to you. You grab it softly, dragging the fingertips of your other hand up her thigh until you reach the top of her stocking. You gingerly peel it off, her toes curling as the netting pulls away. You repeat the process for her other stocking, putting her slender, ivory legs on full display. Finally, you lean over her put your hands on her hips. You dare to run your fingers over her crotch before grabbing the edge of her panties, enough to get a small noise out of her. She moves her legs to assist you as you pull them off, leaving her completely naked save her choker. You both stare at each other for a moment in admiration. When you start to move in to join her on the bed, she grins and playfully pushes you onto the bed next to her, positioning herself to be on top again. "I didn't know you had it in you," she says in a breathy voice, kneeling over you. "I hope there's more where that came from.~"<<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">><</replace>><</link>> She leans over you, her hair like a stormcloud framing her alabaster skin. You bring your hands up to caress her hanging breasts, gently kneading them together and teasing your fingers across her nipples. She lets out a short moan, placing a hand on your stomach. Her fingers slowly drag lower over your skin until one teases its way between your folds. You gasp at the intrustion, squeezing her tits a little firmer. She starts to shift and lean in for a kiss. You reposition your hands as her lips lock with yours. Passion quickly overtakes you both. The passage of time doesn't even grace your thoughts as your fingers dance over and into each other, legs and lips tangling in ecstacy. A warm fuzziness spreads through you as she explores every inch of your body. Panting, moaning, and the soft smacking of your lips fills the dorm. You shift positions so that you're on top for once, Nadia leaning back against the wall. She bites her lip and pushes on your shoulders, her chest heaving. Her hands guide you lower on her body, stopping with your head right over her crotch with her legs spread wide. "I think you've been having more of the fun here," she pants, an eager grin on her face. "Show me what you've learned.~" \ <<link "Just do your best">><<replace "#choice2">><<if _pleasure > 1>><<set $nadiaClimax += 1>><</if>>"With pleasure~" you reply.

You oblige, doing the best you can to maintain her pleasure. Her moans start to grow louder and less contained as your tongue dances between her folds, the pressure she's putting on your head slowly increasing. Suddenly, she bucks her hips and pushes down on you like she's trying to suffocate you between her legs. Evidently, you aren't far off, as without warning she pulls your head into her vagina. "OH //FFFUUUCK//!" she screams. You can feel her folds twitching against your skin as the tight walls swallow you down to your neck. In a panic, you flail your arms around, slapping her hips to try and get her attention. "//Yes//, MORE!" she moans, grabbing your arms and wrapping her legs around you. The quivering walls drag you deeper, pressing your head against the barrier at the end of her tunnel. She pushes in hard with her legs and holds your arms to your side, forcing your shoulders between her hungry lips. Your head pushes through the dangerously tight passage of her cervix and into the warm embrace of her womb. She moans and gasps in ecstacy as she keeps dragging you deeper. More and more of you slides through the slick channel and up into her body, only your legs left kicking between her own before long. With an explosive moan, she forces the last of you in, sealing your entire body inside hers for the second time tonight. You curl up into her womb, stunned. You knew this was technically possible, but experiencing it firsthand... It's almost nice. The walls are smooth and calm, unlike the wrinkled, writhing walls of a stomach. It feels like a constant firm, but comforting, embrace. You can feel that she's still playing with herself outside, but her movements gently slow as her breathing gets heavy. "Oh my god..." she pants. "Fuck, sorry about that $name, I got a little carried away..." she says, starting to caress you through her belly. "Are you alright in there?" "It's... not the worst," you admit, panting a little yourself. "Good, cause that's where you're spending the night," she giggles, giving you a poke. "After that ride, I don't think I can handle letting you back out right now..." "Seriously?" "Aww, c'mon, I make a pretty cozy bed~" she says, rubbing your back. "Just let yourself drift off, you're perfectly safe." You sigh and curl up a little tighter, trying to get comfortable. To your surprise, it isn't that hard. Between her rubbing, the warmth of her body, and the soft rocking from her breathing, you find yourself dozing off very quickly. @@color:lime;You made Nadia orgasm!@@ <<Nadia 2>> [[Go to sleep->September 3rd to 4th]]

You open your eyes and grumble, holding your head with both hands. The loud rumbling strikes again and you frantically shield your ears. Realizing it's your alarm, you thrust your hand out for your phone, only to find a pillow on your bedside table. You shove it aside to get to the source of the noise, hearing a paper flutter to the ground alongside it, then quickly shut off the alarm and sink back into your bed, groaning. You desperately want to go back to sleep, but your throat feels like it's made of dust right now. Begrudgingly, you sit up. In doing so, you switch from holding your head to clutching your stomach as it flares up with pain. Ashley's onslaught must have really done a number on you. You use the glow from your phone to look around the room rather than suffer through hitting the lights. Looking around, you notice that Emma is already up and out for the day, then spot that there's a water bottle on your bedside table. Any wondering about Emma immediately leaves your mind as you desperately chug the whole thing in a matter of seconds. When you finish, you notice the paper on the ground that you heard fall earlier. It's a note from Emma: //"I'd recognize that post-party collapse anywhere, hope this helped a little <3"// You smile and slowly get to your feet, your head and stomach still aching. Taking the bottle with you, you head to the bathroom to get yourself more water and fully quench your thirst. When you're feeling a little better, you return to your bed and lay back with a sigh, trying to let your body rest a little more. Everything else can wait.<<else>>A shrieking sound jolts you awake as a splitting headache rocks through your skull. You clutch your head with your hands and open your eyes, only to immediately wince and curl up tighter as even the dim light of the room makes the pain in your head flare up. The alarm shrieks again and you frantically grab your phone to shut it off. You sit up and groan, your throat feeling bone dry. As you move to start to get up, you cry out from a sharp pain in your gut and double over. Ashley may be gone, but your body is still dealing with the aftermath. A constant, dull pain radiates through your entire abdomen even when you're sitting still. Taking a deep breath, you stand up and shuffle to the bathroom to quench your thirst. On your way over, it occurs to you for the first time that Emma's bed is empty and she's already out for the day. You sit at the sink chugging water for what feels like several minutes. When you're feeling a little better, you return to your bed and lay back with a sigh, trying to let your body rest a little more. Everything else can wait.<</if>> Eventually, you remember that you do have class today and check the time. Nine fifty. You also notice a notification for an unread email. <<if $club is "swim">>It's a reminder about club later, it starts at four thirty in the pool room.

There isn't even going to be enough time to get breakfast first at this point. Once you're clean and dry you stumble back into your room, not bothering to cover yourself with a towel, and grab the first clothes you find to put on. Still feeling like garbage from last night, you trudge out into the hall to head to class.<<set $outfit to "normal">> [[Go to class->September 4th- Intro to Vore]]<<else>>The sound of your alarm gently coaxes you awake, blinking a few times as you return to the conscious world. You sit up, your eyes only half open, and grab your phone to silence it. As you stretch your arms out, you notice Emma is already out for the day. She must have had an early class. Throwing off your blanket, you slide your legs over the side of the bed, yawn, then get up on your feet. <<if $digestionEvent>><<set $digestionEvent to false>><<if $digestion > 0>>Now that you're standing, it's much more apparent that some of Jackie is still sticking around.

@@color:rebeccapurple;''September 4th''@@ ---- <<if $unbirthedByNadia>>Your head feels foggy, only just on the cusp of being awake. There's a light rumbling sound as some soothing force taps against your back, a fainter thumping coming from above you. Opening your eyes, you find you're in complete darkness, and curled up in a pretty tight fetal position. Your whole world suddenly shakes back and forth and you realize that you're encased by slimy walls. In a panic you thrust your arms out, but soon enough the events of last night come back to you--you're in the warm embrace of Nadia's womb right now. "Finally up darling? I thought I was going to have to carry you around all day, I've been trying to shake you awake for a while now," Nadia purrs. You feel her run a hand down the front of her belly and gently caress you from below. "Nadia..?" you respond groggily, shifting a little. "I told you it would be comfortable in there~" she says. "Ready to come out?" "Yeah, it's a little cramped in here." "Get ready then.~" You feel her reach her hands down around you to her crotch. Her breathing grows heavy, enough to gently rock you back and forth, and she starts to let out little moans. Then she crouches down, and the walls start to tighten around you. The pressure slowly shifts your position, then grows even tighter as your head is forced back through into the slick tunnel of her vagina. Nadia gasps as more of you starts to slide through. With a heavy, moaning grunt she pushes you out up to your midriff, your arms pinned to your side as your upper body returns to the outside world. You open your eyes and take a deep breath, greeted with the strange sight of Nadia looking down at you as your body emerges from between her legs. "Good morning~" she says, slight strain in her voice. Closing her eyes and pressing down on her belly, she gives one more hard push and forces the rest of you out onto the wet tile of her shower. She drops back to join you on the ground, panting with exhaustion. "That part never gets easy..." she sighs, grinning at you. You sit up, a little disoriented. This is the first time you've ever spent the night inside someone, and you're still trying to wrap your head around the crazy sequence of events that led you here. While you get your bearings, Nadia crawls over to you. She slides around to hug you from behind, pressing her breasts against your back. "Last night was wonderful~" she whispers in your ear. "Y-You were incredible," you say, suddenly very flustered. "And I can't thank you enough for saving me from that deathtrap." Nadia giggles, squeezing you a little tighter. "You've already repaid me for that, don't you worry. It's not every day someone makes me accidentally unbirth them.~" She gives you a quick kiss on the cheek, then stands up, helping you to your feet as well. The two of you shower together, getting a little playful as you both get clean. Eventually you step out to dry off, finding a second towel already ready for you. You head back into the main room wrapped in your towel once you're dry. Nadia, meanwhile, uses hers to wrap up her hair and continues to walk around naked.<<else>>Your eyes gently flutter open, waking up feeling better rested than you have in a long time. You start to try and stretch out, but the resistance of another arm resting on top of your own makes you pause. Then it occurs to you that this isn't your bed, and the events of last night come back to you. Turning your head to look behind you, you see Nadia's pale face, still sound asleep. You try to gently slide away to get up without disturbing her, but the moment you start moving she shifts in her sleep, her arm wrapping tighter around you as she rolls close enough to be pressed right up against your back. Blushing, you quietly try to get her attention, but it seems like she's really still asleep. You can't say you aren't comfortable, so you decide to just accept your fate and relax as she subconsciously cuddles you. After a while, you notice that her embrace has steadily been getting tighter, to the point that her breasts are now firmly squished against your back. "You've been awake the whole time, haven't you?" you say with a sigh. "Maybe~" Nadia replies with a giggle. "How'd you sleep?" You nudge her arm off of you and sit up. "Fantastically, actually, I can't remember the last time I woke up feeling this good." "I tend to have that effect on people~" she giggles, giving you a little poke. She slides herself off the bed and stands up, stretching her arms out overhead. You stop yourself from staring at her bare back for too long. "You need the bathroom?" "Not really," you say, getting up off the bed. "I usually shower in the morning but I can--" "Well go ahead then, I've got extra towels," Nadia says. "We did get nice and sweaty last night.~" "Oh, thanks!" She grabs a towel out of the closet and tosses it to you. You quickly head into the shower to wash off and get ready for the day, using the same lilac soap she pushed you to use before to be safe. Once you're clean, you dry off and step back into the room, wrapped up to finally give yourself some decency. Nadia, on the other hand, is still just lounging on her bed in the nude.<</if>> You think to check the time and realize that it's already past ten o'clock. "Shit, I've gotta get to class," you say. It occurs to you that not only are you naked, you don't even have clothes to put on since yours got soaked in her stomach acid. "Uh..." "You can have some stuff I don't wear much anymore, we're a pretty similar size," she says with a little laugh, crouching down to go through her dresser. "Thanks," you say. Your relief lessens a little when you remember what wearing her wardrobe will entail. She pulls out a skirt with a pattern of silver moons around the waist and a lace underlayer that sticks out a few inches below the normal fabric, as well as a very loose, thin strapped tank top with an elaborate skull design across the chest. All black, of course. She smirks when she sees your hesitation about the outfit. "I've got some spare chokers too if you want." "Uh, no, this will be fine thanks," you say hastily. Not really having another option, you change into her clothes. They're surprisingly comfortable, even if they look very out of place on you.<<set $outfit to "goth">><<set $outfitState to "normal">><<set $wardrobeLight to true>> "Well, you better get to your class then," she pouts, leaning forward a little and gently pushing her breasts together with her arms. Your heart starts to beat a little faster. "Well, I--" "Nah, you should probably get out before my roommate gets back anyways," she says with a smirk, returning to a normal stance. <<if $unbirthedByNadia>>You're not sure where she was keeping it, but she holds out a piece of paper toward you. "But here." You take it with a slightly confused look. Written on it is a phone number with a heart next to it. You immediately look back up at her and she winks at you, then turns around to head back into the bathroom. <<set $nadiaPhone to true>>@@color:lime;You got Nadia's phone number!@@<<elseif $nadiaRel > 1>>"Last night was wonderful, let's do it again some time.~" Before you can respond, she just gives you a wink and disappears into the bathroom.<<else>>"Try to stay safe out there, I'd like to give this another shot some time.~" Before you can respond, she just gives you a wink and disappears into the bathroom.<</if>> [[Hurry to class->September 4th- Intro to Vore]]

"Huh, you really don't know about her already? Guess you lucked out the last two days with what I heard she's been up to," Sam says. "Maeve's my sister, and she calls herself the queen of the school. As cool as she is, I thought she was just playing it up to me, but no, everyone really seems to see her as being in a league of her own even compared to the other seniors here." "<<if $breakfastSunny>>Oh, I think I have heard someone mention her. But yeah,<<else>>Huh, yeah<</if>> I've never met her," you reply. "That's not gonna scare me off though." Sam smiles.

There is definitely a resemblance." "Of course, she's just an older and cooler, but less funny, me," Sam says with a smirk.<<set $samInfo1 to 2>><<else>>"//Or// I'm the only one smart enough to get on your good side," you say.

She gives you a confused look when you sit down. "Hey, I'm $name! This seat taken?" you say. "I guess not..." the girl replies. She has long, messy dark hair and sunken blue eyes, a few freckles scattered across her cheeks. Her outfit seems pretty carelessly thrown together, wearing a baggy black t-shirt with some kind of logo on it and what looked like they were gym shorts. "You know I'm Maeve's sister, right?" she says, looking dejected as she takes a bite of her food. <<if $metMaeve>>"O-Oh, no I didn't," you say, your heart skipping a beat as you remember the Maeve she must be talking about.

<<Time 9.5>>You head out into the hall, hurrying up through Lampton to the dining hall. It's pretty packed at this hour, but you don't pay much attention to it, just looking to grab something quick to eat before heading to the gym. They have a selection of omelettes and some toast available today. Although they look good, you're afraid an omelette might be too heavy of a meal to eat right before working out, so you just scarf down a few pieces of toast before heading out to the courtyard. It's bright and sunny today, in stark contrast to the dreary skies yesterday. A little too bright, and just hot enough to be uncomfortable. You're relieved when you pass through into the heavily air conditioned sports complex. It looks like there's actually a class taking place in the gym right now, a large group being led through some stretches by a silver haired teacher you don't recognize. Not letting your curiosity distract you, you head upstairs to the weight room. <<if $kaylaRel > 0>>"Hey! Didn't expect to see you here<<if $day2Workout>> this early<</if>>," someone says right as you walk in. It's Kayla, her hair tied back in a tight ponytail and wearing just a green sports bra and grey athletic shorts. She's stretching out next to one of the treadmills. "Hey!" you reply, heading to the open spot next to her and starting your own warm-up. "Wanted to get a work out in before class since my schedule's weird today. How have you been?" "I'm livin'. Already sick of how barebones this 'gym' is though," she says. "Why call it a weight room if they only have cardio equipment?" "They were probably only worried about helping people lose weight," you reply, stepping onto the treadmil. "I guess. Gonna have to find a better place in town sometime soon." Your conversation goes on hold as both of you start to run. You start things slow to warm up, not wanting to do anything too crazy since you just ate before coming here. Over time you slowly build up to a faster pace until you're really starting to feel the burn, then ease back down to a stop. Exhuasted, but feeling good, you do some quick cooldown stretches while you wait for Kayla to stop putting you to shame. Eventually she finishes and steps down, wiping sweat off of her brow. <<Workout>>"Whew! Love that feeling!" she says with a big grin. "We should probably get to class, huh?" "No way we make it on time," you say, checking the clock on your phone. The two of you start to make your way out of the building and back to Karbo. As you walk, you notice that your belly feels oddly cool, and you're feeling lighter on your feet than earlier. @@color:lime;You must have lost weight!@@<<if $counter is 1>> Unfortunately, your bra also feels like it isn't fitting quite right anymore. @@color:red;That weight had to come from somewhere.@@<</if>> "Ah, who cares about missing a few minutes.

"Heya $name<<if $emmaRel > 1>>!<<else>>,<</if>>" Emma says when you return to the main room. "You're sure in a hurry." "Oh hey, yeah sorry I'm running late for class," you reply as you dig through your dresser for some clothes. You just pull out the first thing you find, noting that it's already getting close to ten after.

<<Time 10>>"You coming?" you ask. Sam seemed pretty down about people avoiding her because of Maeve, and you can't think of anyone easier to make friends with than Emma. Introducing them could really help her out. "To your class..?" Sam says, giving you a confused look. "I meant just out of the dining hall<<if $samRel > 2>> dummy<</if>>, we can walk together," you say. "Oh, yeah I guess." She shrugs and stands up from the table. The two of you head off toward the stairs, Emma still decently far ahead of you. You move at a pretty brisk pace, managing to more or less catch up on the bridge. "Hey Emma!" you call out. She perks her head up and turns back. "Heya $name!" she says, waving as she stops to let you catch up. "Sorry I missed you this morning, I got breakfast with Mal and a couple other girls." "Oh you're fine, I'm kind of embarrassed I didn't notice you in the dining hall," you reply. "Hey, have you met my friend Sam? Sam, this is my roommate Emma." "No, nice to meet you!" Emma beams. "Uh, hey," Sam says. "Is this why we were walking so fast?" "It's possible," you say with a shrug. "I don't need you to play matchmaker," she sighs, crossing her arms. <<if $emmaInjured>>"Oh yeah, $name look!" Emma says, holding up her arm. It's bandage free other than a single small bandaid. Most of the skin on the underside is pink and a few small patches look oddly shiny. "That cream is like magic, I'm pretty much fine already!" "Hey, nice!" you say. Sam looks confused and slightly grossed out, so you explain. "She had a pretty bad time during the whole 'monday massacre' thing." "//Pfft//, you got swallowed long enough for someone's gut to do //that//? Should have just stayed down at that point," Sam laughs. "H-Hey!" Emma says, hiding her injured arm. "Oh man, is that why your hair is all weird? I've been trying to figure out what you were going for there, guess that explains it." "It's..." Emma suddenly looks very upset. You give Sam a look. "What?" she says. "That's very rude," Emma says, shaking off the sting of the insult. "I guess things went better for you on Monday?"<<else>>"Are you guys friends from back home or did you meet earlier in the week?" "We met the very first day, before orientation actually!" you explain. "Yeah, she <<if $ateAnita>>stole my meal<<else>>almost got in the way of my meal<</if>>," Sam says.

"O-Oh, that's... good, I guess," Emma says, looking a little uncomfortable. You look away sheepishly, hoping Sam doesn't bring up your involvement in that.<<else>>"Gone." "Oh gosh, I'm sorry!" "Why?" "Just... y'know..." Emma says, trailing off. She clears her throat.<</if>> "So uh, how did you fare on Monday? That was pretty crazy, right?"<</if>> "Ha, Monday?" Sam says. "It was great, no one bothered me and I caught a proper meal for dinner!<<if $day2HuntWithSam is "success">> Two actually, with $name's help.<</if>>" "Seriously? No trouble at all?" Emma says. "And you ate someone? That's kinda rude, the freshman had enough to worry about with all the upperclassmen that day..." Sam makes a face. "Ignoring that <<if $day2HuntWithSam is "success">> my first meal was<<else>>I ate a<</if>> sophomore, what?" she says. "What do you mean //rude//, that's like the whole point of the school? Have you not eaten anyone here?" "Nope, I don't just go around randomly snacking on classmates." "Ha! That's kinda pathetic. Don't put that much thought into it, it's eat or be eaten out here." "I think you don't put enough thought into it, it's a serious thing!" Emma says, crossing her arms. "Would you eat $name?" "I could if I wanted to!" You're starting to sweat a little as the two bicker. This isn't exactly going how you planned. It suddenly comes back to you that you were on your way to class before this, so you check the time. It's starting now. \ <<link "Stay and diffuse the situation">><<set $samMeetEmma to "met">><<replace "#choice">>"Woah, woah, calm down guys," you say, deciding it would be a very bad idea to just leave in the middle of this. "First off, Sam--try me bitch," you say, giving her a quick grin. "I think it's fair for Emma to be worried about you eating her friends.<<if $emmaInjured>> And you really didn't have to be so rude about Monday, you wouldn't have gotten away unscathed after running into a hungry //junior// either.<</if>> But Emma, this //is// a vore school, you should probably expect more active predators like Sam to be the norm rather than calling them out." "I guess you're right... Sorry Sam, I just got a little defensive," Emma says, still looking upset. "Whatever..." Sam grumbles, turning away. "If I thought you'd go straight to talking about eating people I'd have known this was a bad idea..." you sigh. "Well, I've got a class to get to, I'll see you later Sam." "Yeah..." is all Sam responds with. You and Emma walk off and head downstairs. "So you're sure she's a friend?" Emma asks as you approach the door to your dorm. "Yeah... Sorry about that, I guess I should have known you guys wouldn't be a good match, but she was in a weird mood this morning and you were the best thing I could think of to cheer her up," you say with a little laugh. "Aw, thanks," Emma says, smiling. "Well, have fun at class!"

"Good morning everyone! I hope you're all having a wonderful day so far," she says with a big smile. She quickly runs through attendence, looking a bit disheartened that the number of students has definitely dropped after Monday. With that out of the way, she gives a quick recap of what was covered last class<<if $introA is 0>>, which is particularly handy for you after missing said class<</if>>. "Alright then, for today's lesson we're going to focus more on the 'knowing your limits' part of our first unit!" She launches into a lecture on the limits of a predator's body when it comes to vore, particularly stomach capacity. Things start off with an explanation of the obvious: a woman's body isn't infinitely stretchable, everyone has a limit on how much they can fit inside them before they hurt themselves or have their body violently reject it. An average person without any training generally has just barely enough room to fit someone of similar size to themself in their stomach, inherently giving taller predators an advantage over others. However, anyone is capable of improving their capacity by pushing their limits, like training any phyiscal skill. When your stomach spends time close to its full extension, your muscles acclimate to stretching that far and become capable of going just a little further without serious strain in the future. Through this, any girl can become a competent predator with practice, and most will be able to handle holding prey their size without any discomfort within just a meal or two. Your focus on the lecture is briefly interrupted by <<if $metKayla>>Kayla<<else>>someone<</if>> showing up late, but she's quick to take a seat without causing a major distraction. Juniper moves on to talking about the extent that this capacity training can be taken.<<else>><<if $day4Workout>>You hurry through the halls to Room 115, finding the door closed when you arrived.

Noting that Nadia's dorm was L217, you start to hurry off to your class. You're a little embarrassed by the outfit you've ended up with, but you don't feel like it's worth stopping back at your dorm to change.<<set $nadiaDorm to true>> Before long you arrive at the door to Room 115, finding it closed. Peeking in, class is already well underway. You gently open the door and slip in, trying not to interrupt.<<else>>You slowly make your way through the hall, hanging your head and holding a hand over your stomach as you walk. The pain is starting to fade, at least, but you still aren't happy to be up and moving around. Eventually you arrive at the door to Room 115, finding it closed. Peeking in, class seems to already be underway. You wince as you slip into the room, the bright light of the projector briefly making your headache flare up again.<</if>> Juniper makes eye contact and gives a little nod as you hurry over to the closest open spot. You quickly get yourself situated so you can pay attention, she's in the middle of discussing stomach capacity.<</if>> While most women are content with being able to comfortably handle any single prey, those very active predators that desire it can, with a concentrated effort, continue to push their limits to extraordinary levels. It isn't all that uncommon for skilled predators to be able to keep down two live prey at once. In fact, the school pushes students to work towards achieving this capacity level, as even if they have no desire to eat multiple prey at a time, having that level of elasticity makes it much harder for a single person to upset their stomach. She makes a quick note that there are even classes specifically geared towards capacity training offered to upperclassmen. She wraps up the section on stomach capacity by discussing the upper limits of the body's ability to stretch. There are diminishing returns on this sort of training, she explains, and even expert predators like herself usually cap out at barely being able to fit a third prey. Those that really focus hard on capacity can push it a little farther, but even getting to the point of handling a fourth is unheard of. To cap things off, she brings up a case from a few years ago where a woman, after training for years in preparation, set the world record by getting five people inside of her body and keeping them there for three full minutes. A picture of her is projected up on the board. The woman's gut is enormous and somewhat grotesque, stretched so thin that you can see a pretty well defined outline of most of the people inside of her and her skin is tinted red all over. Juniper makes clear that this was purely done for the record--not only was everyone a willing participant and so none of her prey was struggling at all, but they were also spread throughout her body rather than just in her stomach to minimize strain. She's also sure to note that the woman in question was a Saint Miluina's alum before moving on. Juniper covers a few more general things after that, but before you know it the class is over. "I'll see you all again on Friday, enjoy the rest of your day!

"Right, you're the girl from breakfast on Monday, aren't you?<<if $fat > 39>> You've gotten kinda fat since then, I almost didn't recognize you!<</if>>" "Uh..." you say, starting to try and inch past her.

"Perfect!" she says, clapping her hands together and grinning. Just as you're thinking of making a break for it, she grabs your arm and pulls you in close. Before you can protest, your head is in her mouth. @@color:orange;You have been overpowered.@@ She doesn't hesitate to start gulping you down, gripping your arms tight as she expertly drags you into her body. With the height difference, it's almost like you're falling into her gut, forced to bend over at first then hoisted up into the air by Sunny after swallowing your shoulders. You try to squirm against her grip but it's useless, she has you completely locked down and isn't taking any chances. You crash face-first into the slimy flesh of her stomach, your saliva coated body curling up into the warm space. Sunny seems to get impatient and uses her arms to push your legs in faster, sealing you away. You hear her smack her lips after the last of you slides down her gullet. "Ah, there, ju--//*UUUURRRRAP!*// Heh, went a little too fast--just what I needed," she says, giving her gut a firm slap. "There's no way I would have made it to class on time eating at the dining hall, you had fantastic timing!" You shift around in her stomach, getting into the closest thing to a comfortable position as you can manage. The walls are very stretchy and you feel like you're hanging in a much more relaxed embrace than you would have expected, especially with the height difference. That said, she was clearly hungry and her stomach is already starting to press and knead against your body. "What the hell was that for?" you shout as a loud groan rips through your surroundings. "Uh, for dissing the shades girl, obviously. Didn't I warn you about this when you did it? I feel like I probably did." "You're gonna digest me just for that!?" you rock side to side and push your arms out in protest. "Yeah, probably," Sunny says. She uses her hands to push your arms in and steady her gut. "I guess maybe it is overkill, but I can't go to class on an empty stomach. And you're doing such a good job as my breakfast!" She gives you a congratulatory pat on the back through her belly. "Tell you what, if you last through my class I'll let you out after, that cool?" "Classes are two hours, no one can stay conscious in a stomach that long!" "Well, Gossam doesn't like to bore us and never uses the full time for normal class, so I'd say you've probably got like... fourty-five minutes? Maybe an hour tops? Still not great odds, but if you pull it off a deal's a deal." You feel your whole world start to shake and bounce as Sunny walks off to head to her class.

<<Time 12>><<if $eatenBySunny>>You hurry through the halls, making your way to Room 115. You find Sam leaning against the wall on the opposite side of the hall, looking bored. She gives you a very confused look when she spots you walking up. "$name? I thought you were //in// this class," she says. "Wasn't that, like, the reason for this plan?" "Yeah, but... y'know, sometimes you sleep through your alarm," you say sheepishly. She looks you over, her eyes stopping on your still damp hair, and grins. "Someone tried to eat you, didn't they?" "Shut up," you pout. "I don't know, you sure you're up for this? Can't have someone that almost gets taken out so easily as my partner in crime," Sam laughs. "Shut up, it was a junior and I'm fine now," you say, crossing your arms and blushing a little. "I'm totally ready." "Uh-huh," Sam says, still grinning. "Just make sure you're out of the way when the class gets out, she'll probaby recognize you and know something's up." Taking her advice, you go wait next to the door, away from Sam and on the side that you assume Cassidy won't be going towards. After a few boring minutes, the door swings open and your classmates start to pour out. Cassidy comes out after the initial rush, and you give Sam a nod.<<else>>You follow Cassidy out into the hall, trying to think of the best way to separate her from the crowd leaving the room. There might not be anyone willing to jump in and help her if you were to just grab her now, but there's no way to know for sure. You don't need to get far out of the room to spot Sam, leaning back against the opposite wall with a bored look on her face. You lock eyes and give a little nod towards Cassidy. She grins.<</if>> "Hey! Hi! Um, this is embarrassing, but could you help me with something?" Sam says, stepping forward to block Cassidy's path. You're taken aback for a moment--she's using a peppy and upbeat voice that almost makes her sound like a totally different person, and even her body language has quickly shifted to be closer to someone like Emma<<if $metSarah>> or Sarah<</if>>'s. "I totally lost my phone, I could really use a hand tracking it down." "Oh, hi!" Cassidy beams. "That, like, sucks! Where did you have it last? I thought I lost mine once but it was just, like, sitting on my bed the whole time!" "Haha same, I do that, like, all the time! It's like //-duh!-//, how could I have missed it?" Sam laughs, lightly smacking her forehead. "But I already checked my dorm--and my pockets! I had it in class earlier and I think the room is empty now, could you help me look?" "I don't know, Alice doesn't like it when I go off on my own..." Cassidy says, looking very conflicted. "Pleeease? It'll only take like five minutes, promise." "Well... Okay! It'll go faster with two of us!" "Totally! Now I just gotta remember where the room is..." Sam says. She glances over at you and makes a quick nod towards a door just at the end of the hall. Despite still being a little caught off guard by how she's acting, you get the hint and hurry towards it while Cassidy still has her back to you. After taking a quick peek inside to make sure it's actually empty, you slip into the room and gently close the door behind you. You've barely gotten out of sight when the door opens again and the two of them walk in. "Hey, you know I could, like, do your hair sometime if you want!" Cassidy says. "It looks pretty uneven right now, I could totally fix that up!" "Wow, I would, like, totally love that!" Sam replies. You can tell she's already getting tired of this facade. She stops in front of the door while Cassidy continues into the room. "So where--Oh hi! Hey, you, like, look kinda familiar," Cassidy says, finally noticing you off to the side. She seems to think about it for all of five seconds before deciding she doesn't know you. "Have you seen a phone in here?" "Uh, no... did you lose your phone? That sucks, I'm always worried about losing stuff," you say. "Like my room key! I would hate it if I ever misplaced that." "Omigod right!? That's why I always keep mine safely tucked away in my bra," she says, briefly resting a hand on her left breast. "Oh, don't tell my roommate that though! Alice, like, doesn't want me to carry it around for some reason, but I'm always like, 'how would I get into the room'?" "Alright you know what, I think we can just go for it $name," Sam says, back to her usual self. She's inching closer to Cassidy. "Thank god," you sigh. "I was almost starting to feel bad about this, I didn't realize she was //this// dumb." "And then she usually gets real mad and is like--Oh wait, $name! That's right, <<if $aliceRel < -2>>Alice rants about you a lot<<else>>I remember Alice being mad at you<</if>>. I thought Betty ate you?" Cassidy says, still seeming oblivious to the situation. "She tried," you say, stepping closer. "And I didn't really appreciate it." "Oh I remember now, Alice was mad about that in the morning but then, like, she lost her necklace that same day and got //way// madder about that so I forgot about the first thing..." she says. <<if $wearingAliceNecklace>>"Hey wait a minute! Isn't //that// her necklace?" She points to your neck, crouching down a little to be eye level with the piece of jewelry. "She's gonna be so happy to have it back when you get it to her!"<<else>>"So anyways, have you seen a phone in here?"<</if>> "Holy shit, I can't believe I bothered going full valley girl for you," Sam says, both frustration and amusement in her voice. "This is embarrassingly easy." "I get why Alice doesn't let her out of her sight now, but I'm still not sure why she hasn't eaten her yet," you say. Both of you have completely boxed her in at this point. "It's because I'm a 'useful idiot'!" Cassidy says with a look of unironic pride. "...oh gosh wait. //You're// going to eat me, aren't you?" She finally seems to have the slightest bit of concern. She closes her eyes and shakes her head. "This is what Alice always said would happen... she's so smart!" <<if ($day3HuntSam is "refused") or ($day3HuntSam is "dodge")>>[[Yep->Hunting With Sam- Eat Cassidy]] <</if>><<if ($day3HuntSam is "promised") or ($day3HuntSam is "dodge")>>[[*I'm* not going to->Hunting With Sam- Sam Eats Cassidy]]<</if>>

I guess I'll do some looking online. Or maybe I'll have to just drive around and see what I find," she says with a shrug. "Whatever it is I settle on, I'll want to scope it out first.

Once you're settled, you head back to Mina's table and sit across from her.<<else>><<Time 12.25>>The two of you race down the hall and through the lobby. It didn't seem like Alice was chasing after you, but you don't stop until you're out by the fountain in the courtyard just to be safe. You pause for a moment to catch your breath, Mina meanwhile not looking like she even broke a sweat. "Oh my, thank you $name!" Mina says, giving you a subtle smile. "I was surely doomed against all three of those girls. They did not seem particularly nice." You notice her adjusting her hair in the front a little. "Hey, don't mention it!" you say, giving her a pat on the head and a big smile. "I'm not gonna let anyone eat you, promise." "You are very kind, $name," Mina replies, the slightest bit of pink creeping onto her cheeks. She seems to get lost in thought for a moment, staring at the water flowing out of the fountain. "Would you like to get lunch together? I was on my way there before meeting those girls in the hall." "Absolutely! I was headed to the dining hall too," you say. You head down the path to the right, making your way over to Lampton. A girl relaxing on one of the benches nearly does a double take when you walk past, giving Mina a very confused look. She doesn't say anything, just laughing under her breath and shaking her head. You can't say you blame her for being surprised to see someone like Mina walking around campus. You both step inside, heading to the buffet line to get yourselves some food. They have a small selection of soups and sandwiches today. You grab a sandwich that looks good, while Mina gets just a bowl of tomato soup. Once you're both settled, you head to an open table and take a seat.<</if>> As you could have expected, there's an awkward silence as Mina just sips at her soup, not seeming to have much intention of talking. Being quiet and a little vacant isn't that unusual for her so it's hard to tell, but she seems to be a bit out of it. At any rate, it's clearly going to be up to you to get a conversation started. \ \<<linkreplace "Ask if she's doing alright ">><<set $counter += 1>>\ <<append "#text">> "Hey, are you doing alright?" you ask. "You seem a little off. Something on your mind?" "Oh, I apologize!" Mina says. "I was thinking about Runa, you very much reminded me of her <<if $eatenByAliceDay4>>earlier<<else>>back in the courtyard<</if>>." She looks down at her soup and pauses for a few seconds. "I have not been away from my family for this long before." "It does feel strange to be all on your own." You give her a sympathetic smile. "Why don't you tell me about them? Who is Runa?" "Runa is my oldest sister!" "Oh, what's she like?" you say. A little smirk spreads on your lips. "Is she a lot like you?" "Oh my, no!" she replies, giggling. "Runa is big and strong, and a little loud. She always looked out for me back home, I believe she is the reason none of the mean girls at my school bothered me. She was so very worried about me coming here without her..." "I'm sure she's proud of you for learning to defend yourself," you say. "You called her your //oldest// sister, does that mean you have others?" "Indeed, two!" she squeaks. "Helga and Hilda are much more like I'm sure you are expecting, although they are rather tall. My mother says they are even quieter than I am. They are identical twins!" "Oh, fun!" You pause and look her over. "So, they're all tall... is your mom short?" "Not at all, she is a few inches taller than you are." "Huh, that is strange," you say. You smile at her. "But I don't think I'd want you any other way."

She said my stature would make me an easy target, and that it was clear I wouldn't be able to get out of anyone if I was eaten." You make a face and nod your head to the side a little. Slate isn't exactly wrong. "That's about as much as she said in-class though, did she really keep you after just to reiterate?" "Not entirely. We had an honest discussion about why I was at the school and what my goals were," Mina says, her gaze drifting down. "...even after explaining myself she highly recommended that I drop out and use my time to pursue music instead." "Oh..." you say. There's an awkward silence for a little while, but you give her a reassuring smile. "Well, you knew the danger when you decided to come here, right?" "Correct." "If it didn't stop you then, don't let it stop you now just because of her. You made it this far didn't you?" "I did! Although that is mostly because of you, I suppose." "Well, maybe... But you're at a natural disadvantage here, there's no shame in needing help! I know you're gonna prove her wrong, you just need a little time to get on your feet!"

Or, more accurately, you ask questions and Mina answers. But she seems to be enjoying the company. As you've been talking, a thought has been brewing in your head. Especially now that you've gotten to know her, you're pretty worried about Mina. This is the second time that she would have been digested if you hadn't been at the right place at the right time--if she doesn't learn to defend herself then it's only a matter of time before she ends up in a situation where you can't rescue her.

Betty is the first to make a move, lunging at you to try and grab your arms. Shifting to stand in front of Mina, you meet her attack and start to grapple with her. Her glare is intense as you try to force her arms away. "Um, $name?" you hear Mina say. "This one's still mine, you promised!" Cassidy says. You start to hear some worrying, wet sounds coming from behind you. Thinking fast, you step to the side while Betty is still pushing against you, shaking her off and sending her stumbling into the pair behind you. Cassidy had Mina's head halfway in her mouth, but she quickly pulls back in surprise as Betty crashes into her. Miraculously, Mina's height lets her successfully duck out of the way as the other two girls crash to the floor. You grab her hand and start to make a break for it towards the lobby. "Unbelievable!" Alice growls. You don't make it very far before feeling a hard tug on the back of your shirt. Alice pulls you back and grabs your arms with a surprising amount of force. "You're not going anywhere!" "Mina, just keep running! I'll be alright!" you call out. She gives a little nod and bolts off down the hall. You watch as she disappears around the corner, a small smile nearly spreading on your lips before you're pushed down onto the ground. @@color:orange;You have been overpowered.@@ "I'm <<if ($aliceMax is 0) and ($aliceMin is 0)>>already<<else>>absolutely<</if>> done with you," Alice hisses.

"Grab her."<<else>>"Really, that's the best you can do?<<if $fat > 34>> Fat jokes?<</if>>" you say with a smirk.

Alice clenches her fists. "It would almost be sad how delusional you are, if it weren't so funny," she sneers. "What's sad is how hard you tried to make your face look passable.

Betty rushes in first, getting a grip on your arm before you can pull away. Cassidy hangs back a little, blocking your escape. "Get off me!" you shout, shoving Betty back as she tries to restrain your other arm. You manage to break her grip and step away, only for Cassidy to wrap her arms around you from behind. "Where do you think you're going?" she giggles. Trying to think of something fast, you shove as hard as you can to the side in an attempt to throw yourself to the ground.

After <<if $fat > 45>>a significant amount of<<else>>some<</if>> difficulty, they raise you up so that you're face to face with Alice, your body still restrained. Alice grins as she watches you helplessly struggle against their grip. "Flip her around," she says. "I want her to watch herself go down."<<if $aliceRel < 0>> She leans in a little closer and grabs your chin.

Betty grumbles.<<if $fat > 34>> "She weighs like 300 pounds, we're barely even keeping her up.<</if>> "Just do it!" Alice snaps. After a lot of fuss and repositioning that almost lets you break loose, they manage to get you flipped over with your feet angled towards Alice's face. Betty is holding you from behind like she's giving you a very intense hug, while Cassidy has your legs held from below. Alice pulls off your shoes and grabs your shins. She looks you in the eye, pausing like she's going to say something before opening her mouth wide. You feel your feet slide into the warm, slick confines of her mouth, her tongue almost ticklish as it runs over your exposed skin. She swallows hard, dragging you in up to your calves. You keep trying to shift and struggle out of the grip of your captors as you're fed to her, your legs slowly but surely disappearing into the tight tunnel of her throat. <<if $eatenByBetty>>"Come on Betty, what happened to round two? Are you that scared of me?" you say, hoping to make an opportunity to escape. You feel your feet touch down into Alice's stomach as she keeps gulping you down, grabbing your hips to guide you in.

Betty lets go once you're almost in up to your elbows, leaving you to helplessly squirm against the tight embrace of Alice's body. She does the rest of the work herself, guiding your body into her mouth as she drags you deeper in. You can feel yourself starting to curl up in her gut, your knees bending into a fetal position with your back facing out.<<if $breastSize > 34>> She seems to struggle a little getting your breasts in from this angle of approach<<if ($minaEnd != "alive") and (($outfit is "goth") or ($outfit is "light"))>>, despite feeling inclined to insult their size earlier,<</if>> but manages to squeeze them down between her lips.<</if>> "Ugh, whatever," you sigh, letting yourself go limp.

Emma doesn't seem to be here yet<<if $minaEnd is "alive">>, and although you saw Mina sitting at the front the seats near her were taken<</if>>.

The sun is at the exact right height in the sky to practically blind you through the window as you pass through the bridge. You're a little early when you arrive, only about half of the seats filled.

Mercato," she says. Alice just glares at her from her seat in the back. Slate pulls something out of her desk drawer--a somewhat tarnished gold necklace. "I believe this is yours. You're lucky I noticed it last night and didn't want to chance a clog." Alice looks like she's doing everything in her power to stop herself from exploding as Slate walks over and tosses the damaged jewelry onto her desk. She reluctantly inspects it, one eye twitching. Slate returns to the front of the room.<</if>> With that out of the way, she jumps right into the lesson for the day, covering the concept that technique is much more important than brute force when escaping from inside of a predator. Just pummeling the walls of a girl's stomach aimlessly will only get you so far, and generally tires you out very quickly. Against an adept predator, raw strength alone won't accomplish much. The stomach of a human female is remarkably resilient, she explains--the goal of smart prey isn't to beat it into submission, but disrupt it. She covers a few very basic tactics you can apply, focusing on one in particular that she says is very useful for novices. Apparently, some call it the "heartbeat maneuver". It involves pushing out with either your arms or all four limbs, holding it for a few seconds, then quickly releasing and drawing your limbs back, only to repeat the process shortly after. The rapid expanding and contracting can significantly irritate the stomach, and in rare cases can manage to trigger an involuntary vomit reflex even if the stomach hasn't been worn down much yet. You make sure to take notes. Begrudgingly, Slate wraps up her lesson and dismisses you a few minutes early to make sure everyone has time to get to their clubs. Everyone is quick to get out, most clearly excited for the rest of their day. <<if $emmaRel > 0>>As you get up to leave, you notice Emma<<if $emmaRel > 1>> waiting by the door with a smile.<<else>> just heading out the door.<</if>><<else>>You wait for the rush to clear a little before getting up to leave.<</if>> <<AttendEscapism>>\ <<if $ateAshley and $eatenByZoeyMulti>>[[Catch up with her->September 4th- Afternoon: Zoey Concern]]<<elseif $emmaRel > 0>>[[Catch up with her->September 4th- Afternoon]]<<else>>[[Head back to your dorm->September 4th- Afternoon]]<</if>><<if ($minaEnd is "alive") and !$day4LunchMina and !$ateCassidy and !$samAteCassidy>><<set $minaEnd to "unknown">><</if>> <<set $metProfSlate to true>>

"A-And a little scared, I hope everyone in the club is nice..." "Don't worry, you've at least got me," you say with a smile. You gesture to the door. "Shall we?" The two of you make your way into the room. It looks more or less like all the other classrooms you've been in, except the desks have been pushed together to form one large, central table. There are four chairs on either side, with one more at each end and the rest haphazardly stacked in the corner to get them out of the way. There's a map laid out on the table, as well as a privacy screen and some other odds and ends at the front. There are a few girls already there chatting, but it takes a little while for anyone to seem to notice you. <<if $eatenByMorgan>>"Oh hey! Welcome to..." A tall brunnette girl with long hair waves and starts to welcome you--you quickly recognize her as Morgan from your encounter the other day. "Um, $name, right?" she asks, nodding at you. "Glad to see I didn't scare you off," she says with a little laugh, looking sheepish. "Yeah, that was nothing..." you say, somewhat on edge as you and Leah take a seat. "Glad to be here." "What happened?" Leah asks. "Ah, Morgan just gave her a quick acid bath on Monday, nothing crazy. I think it was a good test! Anyone who's tabletop material can't get scared off that easily," Erika chimes in, grinning at you. "You remember me too, right? You better! But for your friend--I'm Erika, the club's vice president." "Of course I remember, it was your fault," you pout. "Oh don't be like that, you were fair game!" she replies, waving a hand dismissively. "//Morgan// was chowing down on freshman?" the girl sitting next to Erika asks. She's got dark skin, glasses, and is definitely on the chubbier side of things. She's wearing a yellow sweater. "I bet it was your fault then, Erika. I'm Kamile by the way, it's nice to meet you guys!" She smiles and gives a quick wave. "Well, I was running out of time for lunch taking care of club stuff, and Erika pointed her out..." Morgan sighs. "Sorry again! But, uh, anyways, I'm Morgan, club president and DM. What's your name?" she asks Leah.\ <<else>>"Oh hey, welcome!" A tall, long haired brunnette sitting at the head of the table says, giving you a little wave. She's got blue eyes and is wearing a maroon shirt with a dark sweatshirt over it. "This is Tabletop Club, are you in the right place?" "Hi, yes!" you answer, you and Leah going to take a seat at the table. "I'm $name $last." <<if $eatenByErika>>"Ha! I know her," the girl next to her says in a familiar, nasally voice. You suddenly start to feel nervous, recognizing her as the girl who ate you after you rescued Mandy on Monday--Erika. "We already had an adventure together. She kicked my belly's butt on Monday, remember? You were there too." "No, I don't," the other girl replies. "Um, sorry about that I guess $name, you won't have any more trouble like that from her. I'm Morgan, the club president, and Erika here is our VP." "Yeah, it's water under the bridge now that I know you're a member! It made the morning more interesting anyways," Erika says, giving you a smile. "You're oddly cheerful for someone who got beat by a freshman," the girl sitting next to her says with a little smirk. She's got dark skin, glasses, and is definitely on the chubbier side of things. She's wearing a yellow sweater. "I'm Kamile by the way, it's nice to meet you guys!" She smiles and gives you a quick wave. "Well, I chose to look at it as her being really good rather than me sucking, which is exactly what we want in our members so that they last!"<<else>>"Oh good, I'm glad you made it! I'm Morgan, the club president--and your DM," the girl replies. "Hey, make yourselves comfortable!" another, much shorter brunette sitting on the opposite side of the table says. She's got green eyes, glasses, and has her hair back in a ponytail. "I'm Erika, the vice president that's coming for her job some day." "Ha, you've got a lot of work if you wanna fill Morgan's shoes, Erika," the girl sitting next to her says with a little smirk. She's got dark skin, glasses, and is definitely on the chubbier side of things. She's wearing a yellow sweater. "I'm Kamile by the way, it's nice to meet you guys!" She smiles and gives you a quick wave.<</if>> "And what's your name?" Morgan asks Leah. "I don't want to leave anyone out!"<</if>> "Leah Campbell!" she replies, getting a big grin on her face. "Oh, Leah! It's good to meet you in person," Morgan replies. "I'm excited to see you bring Eriah to life." "Thanks! I've been working all day on some sketches of her to get ready!" Leah says with a grin. "'In person'?" you ask, raising one eyebrow. "Leah's been emailing me about her character to make sure everything will work fine with the setting," Morgan explains. Leah blushes a little and looks down at the table. "Oh, don't be embarrassed! You put a lot of effort into her, I love the passion!" You look over at Leah and smile. "That's great, can't wait to see you in action! Can I see those sketches you did?" "Oh, um, yeah, I guess..." Leah mumbles, suddenly looking very nervous. "They're not very good, just sort of doodles to get a feel for the character, so... don't expect much." She reluctantly flips open her notebook and slides it over to you. There's a page full of drawings that you'd hardly call sketches--the linework is very clean and one is even colored. The character in question is a rugged woman in heavy plate armor with long, bright red hair, labeled "Eriah Fenhart". There's a drawing of her with and without her armor, then a colored close up of her face and a few smaller doodles of her equipment, all done in a clearly anime-inspired art style. "Woah, Leah, these are really good!" you say. They might not be the absolute best drawings you've ever seen, but definitely significantly better than she led you to believe. "Don't undersell yourself!" "Thanks..." she says, her cheeks flaring up as she shuffles a little in her seat. The others request to see the sketches after your review, of course, and all seem equally impressed. Leah doesn't seem like she's sure how to handle the praise.\ <<else>><<set $leahInfo3 to 1>><<if $emmaRel is 0>>You head out of the room and start to make your way down the hall.

It doesn't take very long to arrive, especially with how eager Emma seems to be to get to her own club, as the club room is one of the first in the main hall. You stop outside the open door to Room 108. "Well, this is my stop," you say. "Oh, already? That's pretty nice being so close," Emma says. She smiles at you. "Have fun!" "Thanks, you too!" you say, waving to her as you step inside.<</if>> It looks more or less like all the other classrooms you've been in, except the desks have been pushed together to form one large, central table. There are four chairs on either side, with one more at each end and the rest haphazardly stacked in the corner to get them out of the way. There's a map laid out on the table, as well as a privacy screen and some other odds and ends at the front. There are a few girls already there chatting, but it takes a little while for anyone to seem to notice you. <<if $eatenByMorgan>>"Oh hey! Welcome to..." A tall brunnette girl with long hair waves and starts to welcome you--you quickly recognize her as Morgan from your encounter the other day. "Um, $name, right?

"O-Oh, hey $name," she says, looking away and heading to an open seat on the other side of the table.<<else>> She takes the open seat next to you, sitting down and immediately starting to review the notes she has written. "Hey, I'm $name!" you say. <<if $metLeah>>"I think we met on the first day, if you remember." "Um, I don't, sorry," she says looking a little embarrassed. "Nice to meet you again, though, I guess... Sorry." "Hey, don't worry about it, it was barely more than a hello then," you say with a little laugh. "I bet this'll be way more memorable."<<else>>"You're another freshman, right? I feel like we might have a class togther." "Oh, maybe. But yeah, I am," she says, starting to look nervous again. "Um, nice to meet you!"<</if>><</if>><</if>> "Heeeeeey everyone!~" a cheerful voice calls from the doorway. "Candy and Emi are in the house!" You turn to look at the newcomers. One is a tall, dark skinned girl with brown hair tied back in a large ponytail, with some subtle lighter highlights. She's wearing a spaghetti strap top and a skirt, along with several pieces of pink jewelry--bracelets, earings, and a large butterfly clip in her hair. Behind her shuffles in a short blonde girl with a black headband, wearing a striped green shirt, sweatpants, and what look like slippers. She has her eyes on the ground and looks a little uncomfortable. "Ohh, new faces! Hey hey!" the tall girl says, prancing over to you<<if !$leahDitched>> and Leah<</if>>. "Welcome to the party, you're gonna have a great time!" She patiently waits for the other girl to catch up, then the two of them sit down next to each other. She glances over at the other girl, gives her a smile, then looks back at you. "This is Emily, only I get to call her Emi. She's trying to think of how to bring that up without being rude." Emily gets a small smile on her face and nods in approval, then the taller girl gives her a side hug. "Hey Candice, good to have you back!" Morgan says. "Good to be back! Man I've been waiting all summer for this, I don't know anyone back home that's into this stuff!" Candice says. "I'm ready for another adventure!" "What about you, Emily? I'm really glad to see you sticking with us still," Morgan says, giving her a warm smile. "Are you ready for tonight?" Emily smiles and nods again. Then she looks over at you and gives a quick wave. Conversation quickly picks up now that the group is larger, all of the returning members seeming to be pretty close knit. Over the next few minutes three more girls show up, two other freshman and a junior who was running late. The first freshman to arrive is Tara, a very nervous girl with short black hair and glasses. The other is Nikki, a pale girl with very messy dark hair that's partially dyed purple, wearing very baggy clothes and a choker. She seems kind of grumpy. Finally there's the junior, Linda, a dark-skinned, very well endowed girl with glasses. She's very bubbly, and a little over-apologetic about being late. "Okay! Now that everyone's here we can get started," Morgan says, standing up to address the room. "Welcome everyone to the official first meeting of the Tabletop Club, I hope you're ready! Does everyone have a character ready for tonight? I know it was short notice and you might not have seen the email in time, so a I made up a few temporary ones people could play for this session if need be!" Everyone gives confirmaton that they did, a few taking out their character sheets for the first time. "Alright, excellent! Like I said in the email, normally this first meeting would be kind of a meet and greet where everyone makes their characters together, but I have a big campaign planned for this year that I want to make sure we have as much time as possible for. And on that note, we're going to be jumping right in if everyone is ready! It'll be more fun to have you introduce your characters as you meet each other." She picks up her phone and scrolls through it, starting to play some ambient music from a speaker in front of her privacy screen. A second later she pauses it again, however. "Oh, right, two quick things for our new members. One, I have a strict policy against eating your fellow members. In real life anyways, roleplay with your characters is fine if you have a reason for it. It's always rough keeping the campaign going when some people mysteriously disappear between weeks, plus we're barely clearing the minimum number of members to be an official club. I can't exactly stop that completely here, but I can at least keep you from going for each other. And if it wasn't clear, if you break the rule, //I// break the rule, and I'm a senior, so," she explains, giving a little nod. "On a lighter note, the other thing is that our sessions here go //long//. We use what little budget the school gives us to order pizza every week--or occasionally other food--so we don't even stop for dinner. I hope you're ready to go all night! Everyone cool with that?" You and the other freshman eagerly agree. "Alright then, let's get started!" she says, turning the music back on. "Our adventure takes place in the fantastical world of Aravena. Ages ago, an unknown cataclysm unleashed unspeakable evils onto the mortal realm, kingdoms and empires collapsing so absolutely as to be forgotten. Now a new world has grown on the bones of the old, but monsters still run rampant and most of civilization remains limited to scattered, isolated settlements. With the defeat of the tyrannical dragon queen Lunairis a few decades ago, an age of relative peace was ushered in," she winks at the returning club members, "but danger still lurks in the wilds, and new evils yet grow. Today, you're answering the call from a small village in the countryside looking for mercenaries to deal with a group of bandits that's been terrorizing it..." @@color:grey;''What is your character's name?''@@ <<textbox "$dungeonName" "Gwendolyn">> <<textbox "$dungeonLast" "Falk">> <<button "Randomize">><<TabletopName>><<replace "#name">><<textbox "$dungeonName" _fname>> <<textbox "$dungeonLast" _lname>><</replace>><</button>> [[Continue->Dungeon 1- Introductions]]<<set $leahInfo2 to 1>>

She must be excited to get to club, because she's moving so fast you feel more like you're jogging trying to keep up with her. With two different clubs happening in the gym, you aren't surprised to find that quite a few people seem to be heading the same way you are. You filter into the building behind a group that seems to be heading to volleyball. "Alright, have fun swimming!" Emma says as the two of you stop in the entryway. "Oh, and say hi to Sarah and Alesha for me! They said they joined the swim team too." <<if $freshCoupleRel > 0>>"Oh, you know them? <<if $freshCoupleInfo2 > 0>>I didn't realize they were in this club! <</if>>They're a fun couple," you reply.

"Oh... well, I'm sure it'll be okay just being in the same club." "Yeah, it'll probably be fine. I'll see you later<<if $emmaRel > 2>>, hope you have a great time at club<</if>>!" you say.<<else>>"Uh, sure," you say.<<if $metSarah or $metAlesha>> The names seem familiar but you can't quite put a face to them.<</if>> "I'll see you later<<if $emmaRel > 2>>, hope you have a great time at club<</if>>!"<</if>> The two of you part ways, Emma excitedly running into the gym while you turn to head down the hall.<</if>> Following the unmistakable scent of chlorine, you make your way toward the pool. The doors are wide open when you arrive, quite a few people already gathered inside by the near edge of the pool. Two girls quickly break away from the group to meet you as you step inside, one of them carrying a clipboard. They're both tall, pale, and have long hair tied in a loose ponytail, wearing one piece swimsuits matching the school's colors. As they get closer it's clear the similarities don't stop there--you have to assume they're identical twins. The only discernable difference is that the one holding the clipboard has black hair, while the other's is bleached white. <<if $fat > 30>>"Is this a joke?" the white haired one says, placing a hand on her hip and giving you a look of disgust. "You look like you're probably sweating just from walking over here, how do you expect to swim at a competitive level?" "Mmmh, you're right Marie, athletes need to take care of their bodies," the black haired one replies. "You'll sink like a rock. But I suppose we can't kick anyone out, so we'll just have to encourage you to work on... all of this," she says, gesturing to your body. "Give me your name, first and last." "It's $name $last..." you grumble, crossing your arms and blushing a little. "Yes, here you are," the black haired girl says, checking something off on her clipboard. "I'm Calina." "And I'm Marie. We're the captains, welcome to the team, I suppose," the other says. "Go wait with the others, we'll be starting shortly."<<elseif $fullness > 1>>"Hmm, freshman always find a way to mess up even the simple things..." the white haired one says with a sigh, placing a hand on her hip. "How do you expect to swim like that?" "It's astounding, Marie," the black haired one replies, giving your bloated belly an uncomfortable nudge. "I thought it would have been obvious not to show up to an athletic event on a full stomach. What's your name, shortsighted freshman? First and last please." "It's $name $last..." you grumble, scowling at them. "I'll manage just fine like this, I'm not dumb." "Sure, sure," the black haired girl says, checking something off on her clipboard. "I'm Calina." "And I'm Marie. We're the captains, welcome to the team, I suppose," the other says. "Go wait with the others, we'll be starting shortly."<<else>>"I don't recognize her, it must be yet another freshman," the white haired one says, placing a hand on her hip and giving you look of contempt. "Yes, there were a lot of them that joined, Marie," the black haired one replies, looking bored. "Give me your name. Full name, please." "I'm $name $last..." you say, a little uncomfortable with them looming over you. "Here you are," the black haired girl replies, checking something off on her clipboard. "Do you have any prior swimming experience?" "Competitive, we don't care if you've been to the town pool before," the white haired one chimes in. "Yes but not a ton, I was on a team in my senior year of high school," you reply. "Better than some, sadly," the white haired girl says with a sigh. "It's good enough, Marie," the black haired one says. "I'm Calina." "And I'm Marie. We're the captains, welcome to the team," the other says. "Go wait with the others, we'll be starting shortly."<</if>> They turn to go back to the poolside before you can respond at all. With a shrug, you follow them into the room and stand near the other members. Things are starting off a little more intense than you expected, but at least it's clear they're taking things seriously. You notice for the first time that there's also<<if $metProfSteria>> one of the teachers here, talking to the two captains. Professor Steria, if you're remembering right<<else>> what must be one of the teacher here, talking to the two captains<</if>>. After just a few minutes, the two girls call for everyone's attention. "Everyone quiet, it's time to start!" Marie shouts, snapping her fingers overhead. "Thank you, Marie," Calina says, waiting with her arms crossed until she has everyone's attention. "Welcome to the Saint Miluina's Swim Team, everyone." "We won't congratulate you because you didn't do anything to get here, the school just won't let us turn anyone down," Marie says. "Oh, there's no need to be so harsh girls! There's only one informal meet a semester, no reason not to treat it like any other club and give everyone a chance to learn," the teacher says, stepping forward.<<if !$metProfSteria>> She has a smooth, tan complexion, short blonde hair, and green eyes.<</if>> "Um, hello everyone, I'm Professor Steria! I know most of you already from last year or class, but better to be safe." She smiles and gives a nervous laugh. "I'm technically the coach here, but our two captains will be handling most things, especially today! They do a great job and take a lot of pride in their leadership." "Yes, thank you, coach," Calina says. "Like she said, here in club we will mostly be training and competing against ourselves." "We meet every Wednesday, but we expect you all to come to the pool to practice at least one other time each week," Marie adds. "No excuses, it's only a short walk from the dorms to get here." "Of course, what we're really training for is the meet at the end of the semester, our one chance to compete as a real team." "There are way too many of you for everyone to go, though. We can only bring eight students, and that only leaves six of you." "Mm-hmm," Calina humms, nodding her head. "The nature of the school will somewhat resolve that problem by the time we get there, I'm sure, but even so you'll need to prove yourself worthy of a //real// spot on the team." "Even if we can't kick you out for being bad, today is still tryouts. Essentially." "Yes, since there was no bar you needed to pass to get in, we need to evaluate where all of our members are at skill wise. You'll each be performing a short medley for us, two laps of every stroke." "One at a time, so we can give our full attention to judging you," Marie says, a slight smirk creeping onto her lips. "Does anyone have any concerns with that?" Calina says<<if ($fat > 25) or ($fullness > 1)>>, looking right at you with a slight squint<</if>>. No one speaks up. "Good, on to the next order of business." "Swimsuits. You'll all need to wear our official uniforms. If you're a returning member, you better have brought yours with you." "For new members, Coach Steria will be handing them out. She should have one in your size since the school has your measurements from your application. Even if it's changed, there are plenty of spares." "The school has a very high apparel budget..." Steria says with a little laugh. "Come meet me in the back there and I'll get you set up." She walks over to a couple of chairs with all kinds of swimsuits laying on them set up behind the crowd of students. "Go get changed in the locker room across the hall as soon as you have your suit," Calina says. "And make sure you take good care of it, you don't get a replacement!" "We do give replacements..." Steria says quietly. A lot of the upperclassmen break off to head for the locker room already, while the brunt of the group turns to meet up with Professor Steria. The line moves surprisingly quickly, and it's not long before she's handing off a bag with a swimsuit that should fit you<<if $fat > 34>>, even with your current size<</if>>. It looks like a pretty standard one piece suit with the schools colors: a light purple with stylized white accents, just like the ones the captains are wearing. You take it and head out toward the locker room to get changed. [[Go get changed->Swim Club- Locker Room]]

<<Time 20>><<if $ateBethany>>You carefully push yourself up off the bench, taking a moment to adjust to the added weight hanging off of you before even trying to walk. After a few cautious steps, you get a good sense of balance and start to waddle your way over to the door.<<else>>You head out into the hall to make your way back over to the dining hall. The daylight has all but faded by now, the courtyard lit by the dim glow of lamps scattered around as you step outside. The campus looks rather nice all lit up.<</if>> When you arrive at the dining hall, you find that the tables have been rearranged: two are pushed together right near the door, then a little behind it a few have been placed end to end without any chairs. All the others have been pushed aside to make room. There are only three other girls there, the large room almost uncomfortably quiet. "Welcome! Are you here for Cooking Club?" one of the girls asks. She's about your height with dark hair tied back in an elaborate bun, wearing fairly formal looking clothes. She has a kind face, but an intense look in her eyes that puts you slightly on edge. "Yep! I'm $name $last," you reply, stepping further into the room. "Good, you're the first freshman to arrive. I'm Kira, the club president," she says, extending a hand towards you with a very rigid stance. She smiles as you shake it, then pretty quickly steps away to go back to what she was doing.<<if $fullness > 4>> "I hope you still have some room in there for our activity," she says with a quick laugh.<</if>> "You're a little early, I still have some setup to take care of. Go ahead and take a seat." You sit in the nearest chair, feeling a little awkward. There are two other girls at the table--a chubby brunette with glasses, and a short asian girl. Both of them wave to you with warm smiles. "Hey there, I'm Carol!" the brunette beams. "Hi, $name," you reply. "Nice to meet you!" the asian girl says. Her accent is pretty noticeable. She's mostly very petite, but with an impressive chest and a gut that looks like she must<<if ($fullness > 0) and ($fullness < 3)>> also<</if>> be on the tail end of digesting someone. You notice her looking you over. <<if $fullness > 4>>"I like your spirit, it's rare for someone to come with a larger belly than me," she giggles. "I think you would be good with something sweet, maybe over rice too..."<<else>>"You seem like you would be good with some kind of noodles... chicken stock maybe?<<if $fat > 34>> No, no, too fatty...<</if>>" she muses.<</if>> "Uh, excuse me?" you say. "Oh, don't mind Izumi, she never stops thinking with her stomach," Kira says as she works, starting to place bowls around the table at every seat. "She's also our VP, which you would expect to be helping me right now." Izumi seems to ignore her comment, and Kira neglects to give her a bowl. Looking closer at something that's been sitting on the table, you notice there are three tubs of mint ice cream right in front of her seat, all labeled "For Izumi" in big letters. "So you're the Vice President, huh?" you say with a little smirk. "Is that why--" "I abuse my power," Izumi says with a very genuine smile. "Howdy everyone!" someone shouts from the stairs. You glance over and spot <<if $metCherry>>a familiar girl with bright red hair prancing over to the table. <<if $cherryRel is 0>>You remember her from the morning on Monday, Cherry, but she doesn't seem to recognize you as she sits between you and Carol.<<else>>She grins as she sits between you and Carol. "Hey $name, fancy meeting you here," Cherry says with a little laugh.<<if $trialParticipant and $day3DinnerCherry>> "You're looking pretty alive still. Guess that means you had a good time last night?" "Yeah, thanks for that..." you grumble. "Maybe it'll teach you to be less nosy," she says with a wink.<<elseif $outfit is "goth">> A huge grin starts to grow on her face as she looks you over. "Haha! You and Nadia fucked already? Damn, she works fast..." "E-Excuse me?" you say, your cheeks immediately flaring up as you cross your arms to hide the shirt.

A lot of you are familiar, but we have some new faces with us this evening. I don't think I missed anyone coming in, but just in case: I'm Kira, the club president." She stands at the front of the table with her arms crossed behind her back, looking very official. "Here at cooking club, we are all about experimentation and discovery! Cooking is a multicultural art that's constantly evolving, one in which everyone's unique experience can bring something new to the table. Here in the club we want to celebrate the craft by exploring different recipes and techniques, trying something new every week. It doesn't matter how much experience you have now, we'll all learn together, and even a complete novice has something unique they can offer." "Today, though, we're just making sundaes," she explains, nodding to the table behind her where all sorts of toppings and ice cream flavors have been laid out. "I know it isn't exactly cooking, but it is still preparing a dish, and even something as simple as this can give you a lot of insight into a person's feelings towards food, and therefore the kind of chef they are. Today is all about meeting and getting to know each other so we can all be comfortable in this space! I also want to be sure I get an idea of what your interests are before diving into any real recipes. So, we have plenty of supplies here, take your bowl and come craft your masterpiece!" <<include "Ice Cream">> \ When you look back at the table, however, you find that most people didn't bother returning to their original seats and someone has taken your spot.

"Absolutely, I know there's a stomach waiting for me if I don't," you joke. The rest of breakfast is still a little awkward, but you keep a pretty pleasant conversation going. It seemed like she was in a weird funk beyond just her annoyance at your broken promise, but that clears up pretty quickly now thanks to your company. Before you realize it, you're nearly out of time. "Crap, I gotta get to class," you say, standing up.

Your bullshit I was calling out was being mad I ate some random girl!" "Because everyone is //someone's// friend!" The two keep bickering and don't even seem to acknowledge you. Despite having a bad feeling about that, you hurry off down the hall to get to your class. You arrive at the door right as Professor Juniper is about to get started, quietly taking the first available seat. "Good morning everyone! I hope you're all having a wonderful day so far," Juniper says with a big smile. She quickly runs through attendence, looking a bit disheartened that the number of students has definitely dropped after Monday. With that out of the way, she gives a quick recap of what was covered last class<<if $introA is 0>>, which is particularly handy for you after missing said class<</if>>. "Alright then, for today's lesson we're going to focus more on the 'knowing your limits' part of our first unit!" She launches into a lecture on the limits of a predator's body when it comes to vore, particularly stomach capacity. Things start off with an explanation of the obvious: a woman's body isn't infinitely stretchable, everyone has a limit on how much they can fit inside them before they hurt themselves or have their body violently reject it. An average person without any training generally has just barely enough room to fit someone of similar size to themself in their stomach, inherently giving taller predators an advantage over others. However, anyone is capable of improving their capacity by pushing their limits, like training any phyiscal skill. When your stomach spends time close to its full extension, your muscles acclimate to stretching that far and become capable of going just a little further without serious strain in the future. Through this, any girl can become a competent predator with practice, and most will be able to handle holding prey their size without any discomfort within just a meal or two. Your concentration is interrupted by your phone buzzing. It vibrates again as you quickly pull it out to see what's up. They're texts from Emma. The first is just a short string of random characters, the second seems to confirm exactly what you were afraid of: "//$name please hurry back right now I need help!!//" You sigh, but quickly get up and hurry to the door, fearing the worst.

"Right, you're the girl from breakfast on Monday, aren't you?<<if $fat > 39>> You've gotten kinda fat since then, I almost didn't recognize you!<</if>>" "Uh..." you say, starting to try and inch past her.

"Perfect!" she says, clapping her hands together and grinning. She makes a grab for your arm, but you jump back in time to avoid her. "Nuts.

You're already sprinting away in the opposite direction. @@color:yellowgreen;You managed to escape.@@ You rush into Karbo and don't stop to catch your breath until you're halfway down the main hall.

<<Time 10.5>>Sunny sighs. "Alright, //*urp*// fine..." she mutters. You feel her stand up and start to walk somewhere. Not trusting her, you keep thrashing. She stumbles slightly after one particularly hard push forward, causing her to pause and squeeze her stomach muscles tight to keep you under control. You faintly hear someone else say something. "Ha, whatever Trish," Sunny replies with a little laugh. You keep trying to push out despite the pressure she's keeping on you, desperate to get out. She grabs her belly with both hands and shakes it. "Geez, will you chill? I'm //*urrrp*// literally on my way to let you out." The stomach walls relax a little and you decide to rest for now. You almost make a taunt about her not being able to handle you, but bite your tongue--it doesn't feel like you're really all that close to forcing your way out yet. You hear a door slam shut and almost immediately after the walls close in again. Between the crushing pressure of the stomach walls and Sunny pushing from below, you're quickly forced back up into her throat. Your body squeezes through the tight, fleshy tube, sliding back through her mouth and out onto the cold bathroom tile, face first. <<if $acidStage > 1>>A rush of digestive juices follows you out, leaving you face down in a pool of slime. <</if>><<if $turn > 7>>You lay there for a while, barely mustering the strength to push yourself over onto your back.

Plus I was getting mad gassy, don't want Gossam to be mad at me for real." "Sorry to be a bother..." you say sarcastically. "As long as you're sorry about something else we're all good," she says with a grin, tapping her sunglasses. "Are you seriously that mad about me calling them lame?" "I could eat you again you know." Sunny turns her hands palm up and cocks her head a little. "Fine, I'm sorry I insulted your shades. It won't happen again." "A little forced but I'll take it. Have fun getting back to your dorm!" she says. She snaps her fingers into guns and points at you, then turns and heads out of the room. You sigh.

It makes it hard to focus on anything, getting jostled around only adding to the feeling of being nothing more than her breakfast. Eventually she pauses and it seems you've arrived at her class. "Morning Miss G!" Sunny says. "Well good morning Sunny! You sure look like you had some fun this morning," a sweet sounding voice responds. "Yeah, I woke up late so one of the freshman helped me make it on time //and// get breakfast!" She gives the side of her gut a smack. "Ah, well thank you in there!" the teacher says. You feel a gentle rubbing on your back for a moment. "Sunny does have a knack for being fashionably late." "Oh, you know you love me," Sunny laughs. She starts to go on the move, but quickly stops again. Your whole world bounces as she drops back into a chair. Then something hard crashes into your upper back, the edge of the desk jutting into your space. "Whoops, hang on," Sunny giggles, giving your head a little pat.

An odd pressure ripples through her gut, and the air fills with all sorts of quiet gurgling for a short while. The walls seem to relax, slowing significantly in their efforts to knead you to a pulp.

"Eh, alright, if you wanna do things this way instead," she says. A moment later, the walls of her stomach crush in hard. You struggle to move at all, the slimy flesh wrapping around you like you'd been vacuum packed.

<<Time 11>><<set $sunnyRelation1 to 1>><<if $acidStage > 3>>You feel Sunny stand up from her seat, knocking you into her desk in the process. But you don't care about that in the slightest, because she finally unclenches her muscles. You sputter and gasp for breath as you're freed from the tide of acids. What little air there is in the tiny space you still have is stale and heavy, stinging your lungs and making you dizzy. You can faintly notice Sunny's bouncing footsteps as she heads out into the hall.<<else>>You're struggling just to keep your face above the tide of acids by the time you finally feel Sunny stand up from her seat, your entire body prickly and numb from overexposure at this point. She knocks her gut into the desk when she gets up, making the pool of liquid splash up over you. She gives an apologetic pat to the back of your head, then starts to walk off, your cramped prison bouncing along with her footsteps. "See you Friday Miss G!" Sunny says. It seems like there was probably a response, but you can barely hear Sunny herself over the roaring of her stomach at this point. "Ha, you know that ain't me!" she replies to whatever was said.<</if>> After a little while, there's a hard smack on your right side, splashing you with acid again. "Hey, you still with me?" You push your arms out, both to prove you're still kicking and try to give yourself some more breathing room. "Sunny, please..." you mutter. "Haha, <<if $acidStage > 3>>that's pretty impressive! Thought I had you at the end there,<<else>>knew you could do it!<</if>>" Sunny says. "Gimme like two seconds, there's a bathroom right around the corner." You can feel your eyes starting to droop, finding it hard to focus. Just as you start to fear you might pass out, the walls of her stomach clamp down and start to force you upward. Your head is shoved up against her slimy flesh, needing Sunny to give an extra push from below before you break through back into her esophagus. Riding alongside a flood of bile, your body races up her throat and out onto the cold tile floor of the school's bathroom. You're blinded by the light, seeing stars in your vision. You lay motionless on your side for a few moments before rolling over onto your back, panting. Sunny looms over into your field of vision with a grin. "You gonna make it buddy?<<if $breastSize > 24>> Nice tits by the way,<</if>>" she says. You groan and sit up. Her stomach had been so filled with acid that it's still slightly bloated even after your escape, probably still churning away the sludge that used to be your clothes. You cross your arms to cover yourself, fully registering<<if $breastSize > 24>> her comment<<else>> that you're naked<</if>> for the first time. "That was awful..." you mumble, still squinting as you adjust to being out of the darkness of her body. "Did ya learn your lesson?" "I'm definitely never going to talk bad about your glasses again, promise," you say. "You've proven to me that they are extremely cool." "Haha, there you go! I think I like you," she laughs. "Now I'm extra starving though. You sure you don't want back in? Tank's still pretty full." "Absolutely not!" you shout, scrambling backwards. "Relax, I kid, I kid. We're on the first floor of Karbo, right around the corner from the main hall, so you shouldn't have to streak too far back to your room," she says. She twirls around to head out of the bathroom, snapping her fingers into a point. "See ya around!" <<Sunny 1>> You give her some time to get ahead of you while you recover. Eventually, you struggle up onto your feet, knowing you need to get back to the safety of your room. <<include "playerPreyEscape">>[[Hurry back to your dorm->Eaten at Breakfast- Recovery]]

<<if $outfitState is "drenched">>You step out into the hall and start to trudge back to your dorm.

[[Go join the ambush->After Class- Hunting With Sam]]<<else>>You lay there and waste some time on your phone, not entirely sure what you want to do with your time. After a while you get bored and decide to just head to lunch a little early. [[Head to lunch->September 4th- Lunch Alone]] <</if>>

<<Time 10.5>>You rush out into the hall, hurrying back to where you left the two of them. You head down by the dorms, up the stairs, and turn the corner to the bridge. There, you're immediately confronted with pretty much exactly what you expected. In the spot where you left her and Emma stands Sam, sporting a large, squirming belly and crossing her arms. "Sam, you didn't..." you say, touching a hand to your forehead as you walk over to her. She jumps forward a little, startled by your voice. A distinct sloshing sound comes from her gut from the movement. You can hear all kinds of groaning and gurgling coming from the bloated orb of flesh hanging off of her, the bulges disrupting the surface starting to soften and round out. This clearly happened not long after you left, Emma must have tried to fight out on her own for a while before calling you in. "H-Hey $name! I thought you had class?" Sam says. She has a nervous grin and a wide-eyed look. You notice her clench her stomach muscles, pulling her gut in a little and making the bulge of your roommate much more defined. "What brings you back here?" Her voice is a little strained. "What do //you// think?" you say, narrowing your eyes. "Oh, you don't think..?" she says. She gently smacks the front of her gut. "Ha, don't worry this is just--" The words catch in her throat and she suddenly brings a hand to her mouth. She seems to struggle for a little while and tries to swallow, but with a gagging cough something comes flying out of her mouth and lands on the ground with a splat. It's followed out by a loud belch from Sam as she finally lets her gut relax again. You look down at the offending object: It's a familiar blue tank top, drenched in stomach acid and sporting a few holes. "Uh, heh, don't you hate when that happens?" Sam says sheepishly. "<<print $name.toUpperCase()>>!" Emma shrieks from inside of her. You can see her starting to struggle pretty furiously, the bulges in Sam's gut shifting and stretching. "Thank god, she's crazy!" \ <<link "Blow up at Sam">><<replace "#choice">>"Are. You. Fucking. //Kidding me// Sam!" you growl, clenching your fists. "Let her out //right now//!" "Geez, take it //*urp*// easy!" Sam says, taking a step back. "Alright, so //maybe// I--" "What the hell were you thinking? I can't //believe// you," you say, stepping right in front of her and placing a hand on her gut. Emma shifts a little from your touch. "I was trying to help you! You were in such a shitty mood about not having any friends that I thought I'd introduce you to //literally the friendliest person I know//, and you eat her the second I leave? Get her out of there!" "I don't need to //*urp*// take this!" Sam says, starting to glare at you. "She's the one that--" "Sam, don't turn this into a real fight," you say, pushing a little harder on her gut. "Just spit her out." Sam glares at you for a few seconds, the air heavy with tension. Finally she rolls her eyes and motions for you to back up. "Fine. whatever..." she grumbles. She pushes in and up on her gut, bending over as she squeezes Emma tight. Her face contorts a little, clearly struggling. You doubt she's well versed in letting her prey back out. After a litte while she makes an odd grunt and her throat bulges. It's a bit slow, but you watch as Emma's acid drenched body slides out of her lips and joins her shirt on the floor. She's down to just her dark blue underwear<<if $emmaInjured>>, holding her injured arm protectively<</if>>. "Thank you $name..." she pants, sitting up. She freezes for a moment, then frantically starts to try and wipe Sam's stomach acid off of her. "Ohhh gross gross!" she shouts, taking off down the hall toward your dorm as soon as she gets to her feet.<<if $emmaRel < 3>> <<Emma 1>><</if>> "There, you happy?" Sam says, scowling. You sigh. "Sam, come on. Why did you ever think that was a good idea?" "Shut up, you're the one that brought me to her," she says, looking away from you. "Just go. Have fun with your real friend." <<Sam -1>> You sigh again. Still angry with her and not feeling like you're going to get anywhere here, you decide to just listen to her. "I'll see you later..." you say, turning to go check on Emma.

"I guess I should have known this would happen. How is it in there Emma?" "It's super gross! Make her spit me up!" Emma shouts, stirring up some sloshing as she writhes against Sam's stomach. "She wouldn't shut up, so I decided to put my money where my mouth was about eating random classmates being totally fine," Sam explains, patting the front of her gut. "I think it //*uuurp*// worked pretty well." "I mean, this //is// a pretty convincing argument," you say, resting a hand on the warm surface of her belly. "Emma, any rebuttal?" Emma pushes back hard against your hand, making Sam wince and stumble a little. "$name this is serious! There's already acid up to my belly button!" "You know $name, having a dorm all to yourself is pretty nice," Sam says, giving Emma a little squeeze. "Oh yeah?" you say, bringing a hand to your chin like you're really thinking about the possibility. "She did wake me up early that one day..." "<<print $name.toUpperCase()>>!" comes a muffled shriek from Sam's stomach. "Alright but seriously, let her out Sam," you say. "Oh come on, she deserves it." "Sam. She's my friend and my roommate," you say, giving her a look. "You had your fun." "Fiiiine," Sam sighs. She pushes in and up on her gut, bending over as she squeezes Emma tight. Her face contorts a little, clearly struggling. You doubt she's well versed in letting her prey back out. After a litte while she makes an odd grunt and her throat bulges. It's a bit slow, but you watch as Emma's acid drenched body slides out of her lips and joins her shirt on the floor. She's down to just her dark blue underwear<<if $emmaInjured>>, holding her injured arm protectively<</if>>. She sits up pretty quickly, panting and looking very upset. She freezes for a moment, then frantically starts to try and wipe Sam's stomach acid off of her.

"Yeah, once there was no way I wouldn't know it was //you// that did it, you weren't going to digest her," you say, smirking at her. "Hey, that's not... Yeah alright, you know me pretty well already," she laughs. <<if $samRel > 2>>She looks off to the side, rubbing the back of her neck. "So... she's really a friend of yours and not just someone you got stuck with?" "Yeah, she's really fun to be around. If you'd given her a chance." "Right...

"Well good people don't eat someone just because they disagree with them!" Emma protests. Sam scowls and smacks her gut. "Alright, everyone calm down," you say. "Emma, this //is// a vore school, you should probably expect more active predators like Sam to be the norm rather than calling them out." "Yeah," Sam says with a grin, shaking her gut a little. "But Sam," you sigh. "You can't just eat people to win an argument, you're better than that. And you were being pretty rude in the part I //was// here for, so you can't pretend you were totally innocent. Please let her out." "Fine. If she apologizes." "Sam, come on..." "Ok, I'm sorry Sam," Emma says. Her voice is muffled, but you're impressed by the fact she actually sounds completely genuine. "I didn't mean to insult you, I guess I just..." There's a loud groan from Sam's gut and her voice falters for a moment. "Just got a little defensive." You smile. "And Sam?" "I'm sorry I didn't take her phone before I swallowed her," Sam sneers. She pushes in and up on her gut, bending over as she squeezes Emma tight. Her face contorts a little, clearly struggling. You doubt she's well versed in letting her prey back out.

<<Time 10.75>>You follow the fading trail of slimy footprints downstairs and back to your dorm. The faint sound of the shower running fills the air when you open the door. Assuming she's going to take her time in there, you lock the door behind you and plop down onto your bed. At this point it seems like you won't be returning to class, but you're sure you aren't missing much important. Eventually, Emma steps out of the bathroom, sighing<<if !$emmaInjured>> as she flicks her still mildly wet hair back<</if>>. She seems a little startled when she sees you. "Oh, $name, I thought you would have gone back to class," she says, heading over to get her phone from her bedside table. "I wanted to make sure you were alright," you say.

"You're looking a little better than the last time I saw you." "Hmm, how disappointing to see that you're still around. Why do you--"<</if>> She stops mid-sentence as her eyes lock on the jewelry around your neck. Absolute fury quickly floods onto her face. "Hey wait, isn't that--" <<if !$metCassidy>>one of the other girls<<else>>Cassidy<</if>> starts to say. "What the //hell// do you think you're doing!" Alice shouts, storming towards you. "How did you get that?"<<if $minaEnd is "alive">> While everyone is distracted, Mina starts to slowly sneak away from the group. You give her a little nod, watching as she scurries off to safety.<</if>> "Hmm? Oh, this little thing?" you say with a grin, looking down in mock confusion like you weren't sure what she was referring to. "Pretty, right? You should look into getting one, I think it would sui--" You're cut off as Alice shoves you so hard you barely stop yourself from falling over. "You worthless, garbage, rotten little //bitch//! How fucking dare you!" Alice roars. Her face is bright red and her eyes narrowed to a point. She makes a grab for you, but you jump back this time. "That necklace was for me! It's--" she huffs and closes her eyes. "It's //mine//. Give. It. //BACK//." "Wow, did you pull out your entire vocabulary for that one?" you tease, laughing at her tantrum. This is much more than you expected. "Finders keepers," you say with a smug look. That smugness quickly fades, however, when you back away from another swipe from Alice and bump into someone else. In your amusement, you'd forgotten about the other girls. "I hope that little bit of fun was worth it," <<if !$metBetty>>Betty<<else>>one of the other girls<</if>> sneers. She shoves you forward, straight into Alice's arms. "I've never seen her this pissed off." Alice shoves you back against the wall, gripping your arms painfully tight. "I'm going to make sure this hurts," she hisses. Before you can protest, she opens her mouth wide and pushes your head inside. She quickly swallows you down to your neck, pausing to retrieve her necklace before proceeding. You try to fight out of her grip, but she isn't giving you an inch. She moves quickly, your head plunging into the slimy depths of her stomach in record time. You feel yourself curling up inside her gut as more and more of you is packed down the tight tunnel of her throat. She's merciless in her rage, practically clawing at you whenever she shifts her grip to guide you into her eager maw. Soon enough, you're entirely sealed within the sweltering, humid confines of her body, one final gulp sending your feet down to join the rest of you. "//*UURRRUP*// Disgusting..." Alice says, immediately squeezing her stomach muscles tight around you. She keeps muttering all kinds of insults under her breath, along with a plethora of little belches from swallowing you down so fast. "Um, are you, like, okay Alice?" <<if $metCassidy>>Cassidy<<else>>one of the other girls<</if>> says. "Shut up, Cassidy," Alice huffs. She gives the side of her gut a firm smack, still gripping you tight with her stomach muscles. "I'm going to have to wash this now that she's tainted it..." "How did she even end up with it? I thought you just decided not to wear it today," <<if $metBetty>>Betty<<else>>the third girl<</if>> says. "It doesn't matter<<if !$metBetty>> Betty<</if>>, it's back where it belongs," Alice says, her voice slightly strained from the effort she's exerting to crush you. She grabs one of the bulges you're making and digs her fingers in deep. "Just like she's where she belongs. And she's never leaving."<<set $sceneAttack to 5>><<set $sceneDefense to 5>> <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "preyOptions">></div>

<<Time 12.75>><<if $acidStage > 1>>Not letting Cassidy's efforts dissuade you, you keep fighting against the flesh that confines you. You shove and kick against the slimy walls, until one blow seems to hit just the right spot and Alice's stomach shudders. Encouraged, you kick the same spot again, hard. The walls crush in around you. "Oh! Um, hang on, I totally got this!" Cassidy says. You feel her hands start to push in on you even harder from the outside, attempting to calm down Alice's gut. But you can tell it's already too late. Waves of pressure move up your body, her stomach desperate to be finished with this meal. "No..!" Alice groans. Another set of hands starts to push down on your head. "You're... staying put..." You feel your head push through into the tight tunnel of her throat, slowly but surely getting forced back up. Cassidy yelps and her hands pull away as Alice gets to her feet, further disorienting you while you're steadily being squeezed toward freedom. You can feel her trying to swallow you back, but all she's accomplishing is delaying the inevitable. Suddenly, she seems to finally give up and you feel yourself surge forward. To your surprise, you find yourself landing facefirst onto a tile floor as your body is ejected from hers. The slick digestive fluids coating you cause you to slide across the floor a little when the last of you is finally freed from her mouth. <<if $turn > 7>>You take a deep, gasping breath of the fresh air, shivering a little from the drastic change in temperature. You can immediately tell that the brutal efforts of her stomach have left you completely naked.<<else>>You cough and shakily push yourself up a little.

You're startled by the sound of a door slamming right in front of you. Whipping your head around to the source, you realize that you must be just outside of Alice's dorm, further confirmed by the cursing you can hear coming from the other side. You slightly grin to yourself--she must not have wanted you to be able to get a word in about beating her. You slowly ease yourself up onto your feet, your body still adjusting a bit. Pausing to let your head clear a little, you look at the room number: L202. Could be useful info to have later. Just as you start to move, you lock eyes with someone and freeze. A little ways down the hall is a girl giving you a blank stare, mouth slightly open.<<set $aliceDorm to true>> "Um, excuse me..." you mumble, <<if $turn > 7>>blushing and <</if>>scurrying away over the bridge.<<else>>Refusing to let her have the satisfaction of keeping you down, you keep fighting against the flesh that confines you.

"Oh, uh, right..." you say, your gaze drifting down to Cassidy's ample chest. You pause, not entirely comfortable rifling through someone's bra while they're being restrained like this. "Come on, I've gotta do everything around here..." Sam says. In one quick, fluid motion, she lets go of Cassidy with one hand and grabs the left side of her top from below, hooking her fingers under the cup of her bra and pulling outward. The key drops out and clatters to the floor, Cassidy's top left disheveled. "Why was that so natural for you..?" you say, noticing that the action was so efficient it looked rehearsed. "A lot of girls keep money in there," she offers with a shrug. You squint at her. She suddenly gets a very flustered look on her face, her cheeks subtly turning red as she turns her head away from you. She pushes Cassidy forward. "Uh, anyways, open up." Shrugging off the comment, you oblige and open your mouth. She shoves Cassidy's head into your mouth, her face sliding along your tongue towards your throat. Your eyes light up. "//Mmmm...//" you moan, licking her cheek. She tastes really good, a strong, creamy coconut flavor to her skin. "Alright, don't rub it in," Sam says with a slight grin. She nudges her forward a little more and you take your first swallow. Between you and Sam, Cassidy is helpless as she's slowly fed into your mouth. You take your time swallowing her down, savoring her flavor, much to Sam's irritation. When you get down to her chest, you start to strain a little against the mountains she's packing, but Sam steps in to help. She reaches around to grab them from behind, kneading the soft flesh down so you can fit them in easier. With a hard swallow, she's in up to her navel, her head starting to stretch out your stomach. "Here, let's make this a little easier..." Sam says, getting a firm hold on Cassidy's legs. She flips her up to be over your head, making her skirt fall down. Squealing in protest, Cassidy kicks her legs and manages to partially break Sam's grip, slightly grazing her head with one leg. "Ow!" Sam says, looking surprised but not actually hurt. "Alright you're on your own now..." You have no trouble without her at this point, leisurely gulping down Cassidy's legs as they flail above you. Your tongue runs along her thighs as her body slowly slides down to your gut, enjoying the rich flavor. When only her feet remain outside, you decide you've had your fill and slurp them up, sending the last of her to curl up into your stomach with one final gulp. "//*UUuurp*// Ah! She was delicious!" you say, patting your bloated belly. You lean back against a nearby desk. "Tasted like //*uuurp*// coconut. I guess that's why they call it sweet revenge!" Sam shakes her head at the joke. "She probably uses a lot of lotion, I've had prey like that before." "I do!" you hear Cassidy's muffled voice chime in. You can feel her shifting inside of you, but she isn't moving with much urgency. "You, like, gotta take care of your skin if you wanna look your best!" "I definitely appreciate the effort," you laugh. "Oh, don't forget about the key!" "Yeah, yeah," Sam says, crouching down to pick it up. She holds it up to take a look at it, then starts to hand it to you. When you go to grab it, however, she pulls back and smirks. "Next time I get to do the eating, got it?" "Fiiine," you sigh. "Just hand it over." "I'm gonna hold you to that!" she says, tossing the key to you with a grin. You take a look at it--"L202" is engraved on the side. You stow it with your own for now.<<set $aliceDorm to true>> <<include $sceneActionsLink>> <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "predOptions">></div>

<<set $samAteCassidy to true>><<set $aliceKey to true>>"Close, but not quite," you say, <<if $day3HuntSam is "promised">>remembering what you and Sam discussed when you came up with the plan<<else>>nodding at Sam<</if>>. She grabs Cassidy's arms from behind. "I did tell you I needed your help with something," Sam laughs. "That something just happens to be lunch." "Hey..!" Cassidy says, pouting. "I'm starting to think you didn't really lose your phone!" "Fucking... $name just get the key so I can put her out of her misery," Sam sighs. "Oh, uh, right..." you say, your gaze drifting down to Cassidy's ample chest. You pause, not entirely comfortable rifling through someone's bra while they're being restrained like this. "Come on, I don't want to stand here all day," Sam says, rolling her eyes. She pulls Cassidy back a little. "Here..." "Hey//mmph//!" Cassidy tries to say, suddenly finding her head encased by Sam's. She gives you a look, her lips sealing around the girl's neck. Taking a quick breath, you grab the front of Cassidy's top, fingers hooking behind her already partially exposed bra, and pull back. There's a muffled squeal of surprise from inside Sam's mouth. With the strap of her bra straining to resist your pull, you quickly reach in to fish out the key, finding it resting in the left cup right where she said it was. You let go, leaving her top disheveled, and pocket the key yourself. It's very warm. With your main goal completed, Sam moves on with claiming her end of the deal. She keeps Cassidy's arms pinned tight to her side as she starts to swallow her down, moving down over her shoulders in just a few gulps. You were expecting to have to help with her breasts, but Sam glides past them with ease. She's clearly a skilled predator, completely locking down Cassidy without you stepping in at all. Still feeling like you should assist in some way, you grab Cassidy's calves when Sam starts to bend over, slowly lifting the rest of her up overhead to make it easier on her. You let go and step back when her bulging gut starts to rub against you, watching as she gulps down her flailing legs in seconds. "//*UURP*// Whew, she tasted great!" Sam says, patting her gut. She drops back onto one of the desks with a contented sigh. "Very //*urp*// coconutty, bet she uses a lot of lotion." "I do!" you hear Cassidy's muffled voice chime in. Some of the bulges in Sam's gut start to shift, but not with much urgency. "You, like, gotta take care of your skin if you wanna look your best!" "It definitely made you a better meal," Sam laughs, leaning back. She shakes her belly. "Smooth and //*urp*// delicious. So $name, satisfied with your revenge? I sure am." "Mmh, not really yet. She was like the least involved, more of just collateral really," you say. You pull out the key you took from her and inspect it. "L202" is engraved on the side. "But we're getting closer."<<set $aliceDorm to true>> "No, I, like, held you down, remember? I was totally involved!" Cassidy says through Sam's gut. "Oh, thanks, you're right! You //do// deserve this!" you say with a laugh. You briefly run a hand over Sam's gut, stopping at the bulge of Cassidy's head to give it a gentle pat. "Well, as long as I get to keep doing the eating, I'm down to keep helping you deal with them," Sam says. "Although..." She squeezes her stomach muscles for a few seconds, tugging her Cassidy-laden gut in a little and pushing out a burp. "Are you gonna do anything in there? Flavor might have been good but this is weak." "It's, like... really tight in here, and slimy!" Cassidy says. "Moving around feels weeeird..." "She is unbelievable..." Sam sighs, pushing on the side of her belly. The girl inside is still only slightly shifting. "What's unbelievable is that you're apparently a theater kid," you laugh. "What the heck was that back there?" "What do you mean? It's called a con, you've never tricked your prey before?" Sam replies, giving you a somewhat grumpy look. "I just didn't expect you to totally transform like that." "Well, //someone// had me thinking we were going against a girl that was part of a skilled group that totally overpowered you and had the respect of '//The//' Alice Mercato, so I brought out my A game," Sam says. "But instead it turns out we were dealing with 'probably could have gotten her to crawl in herself' here." She smacks her gut and laughs. "Ah shit, we should have //*urp*// tried that! I totally could have convinced her to check for my phone in my stomach if I kept it up." "Nuh-uh!" Cassidy protests from inside of her. "Even I'm not that dumb!" "Oh, so you admit you //are// dumb though?" "That's... Hey!" There's finally a noticeable push from Cassidy in response to the insult. You can hear some sloshing sounds get kicked up by the motion. "You should, like, really let me out you know! Alice is gonna be //sooo// mad! She's probably, like, looking for me right now!" "You really think //Alice// is gonna rush to your rescue?" you say, prodding her through Sam's pale skin. "Of course! She's my... well..." She trails off and goes quiet for a little bit. "No, she won't." There's another brief pause, followed by a sudden burst of energy. "Because it's too dangerous to, like, go against you two alone! She's too smart for that... But she's gonna be sooo impressed when I get out on my own!" "Finally!" Sam says with a grin as her gut begins to thrash. Then she makes a sound like a hiccup and goes wide-eyed for a second. Touching a hand just beneath her throat, she leans forward. "Damn, did she beat you that quickly?" Sam shakes her head and rolls her eyes at you, still looking like she's really straining with something. Finally, you see a slight bulge move up her throat, followed by her coughing up the offending object. A pink, frilled bra flies out onto her gut and slowly slides off onto the floor, followed by a long belch. "There--//*UUurrp*//--finally," Sam sighs. "How does that even happen? I don't get it." "Beats me," you say with a shrug. You crouch down and pick up the slimy article of clothing, touching it as little as possible and holding it an arm's length away. It's frayed all over, even sporting a couple holes. Sam's stomach works fast. "I guess sometimes things are just perfectly lined--" You freeze as something catches your eye. You were poking fun at Cassidy for thinking she'd come, but you swear you just saw Alice looking in through the window on the door. It was just a quick glance before whoever it was left, but those eyes are hard to mistake. "Uh, $name? You still with me?" Sam says. "Oh, yeah, sorry," you say, shaking your head. "It's a little too late if //*urp*// you were thinking of keeping that for yourself," she says, slowly running her hands over her gut. Cassidy seems to already be slowing down again. "<<if $breastSize < 18>>You kidding? This thing's definitely too big for me anyways<<else>>Nah, not for me<</if>>," you reply. A grin spreads across your face. "I was thinking we could leave Alice a little souvenir, now that we know where she lives." "Heh, flat out provoking her? You're bolder than I thought, $name," Sam says with a grin of her own. "Let's do it, once she's digested a little."<<if $outfit is "goth">> There's a brief, awkward silence after agreeing to the plan. You notice Sam looking at you with slight confusion. "Alright I give up on being nice, I've gotta ask," she says. "What the //hell// are you wearing?" "Oh..." you say, looking down at the outfit Nadia left you with. You'd somewhat forgotten about it--it's actually rather comfortable. "Uh, I lost a bet?" "Oh, well I'm completely convinced then," Sam says, laughing under her breath. "Well the real reason is less believable, honestly," you say. "Long story //very// short, I lost a game of hangman." "Wow, they play hangman with some weird stakes around here," Sam says, looking very amused. "Tell me about it..."<</if>> The two of you keep chatting while Cassidy digests. You watch as Sam's gut steadily starts to smooth out, Cassidy's struggling slowing to a stop. Sam rubs her hands over it while you talk. Before long, there's no real identifiable bulges anymore, her stomach happily churning away at whatever's left inside. "Looks like we're about ready to make our delivery," you say, teasing her by pushing your hand into the front of her belly. It sinks nearly an inch into the warm, pillowy flesh. "//*UURRAP*// Oh yeah, she was done a while ago," Sam replies. "Well then what are we waiting for?" you say, picking up the discarded bra again. "Fine..." Sam sighs, pushing herself off the desk. Her gut jiggles a little with the impact. The two of you head out into the hall, making your way towards Lampton. Sam moves very slowly as she lugs her gut around, forcing you to take your time. She particularly drags her feet when it comes to going upstairs. Eventually, however, you arrive at your destination: Room L202. You carefully hang the pock-marked bra over the doorknob, then step back to admire your work. "There," you say. "She might not have been too bothered losing the idiot, but the taunt is really gonna piss her off." "You sure you don't wanna put it inside on her bed or something? Really send a message," Sam suggests. "I don't want her to know for sure I have the key until I make my move. Plus, she might be in there for all we know..." "Well if she is she knows now, but fair enough I guess," Sam says with a shrug. "Thanks for getting me in on this, got a pretty good meal out of it." She grabs her belly and gently shakes it. "I'm gonna go relax while I deal with the rest of her." "Thanks for the help!" you say as she turns to walk away. "Next time you need help taking someone out, you know who to call," she says, turning her head back to you with a sly grin. <<Sam 1>><<set $samPrey.push({name: "Cassidy", status: "minor", details: "none"})>> Watching her walk away, your own stomach growls. Suddenly remembering that you haven't eaten anything yet and you have another class starting soon, you turn to head for the dining hall. At least you're already close.

She's wearing a pretty loose white tank top with a few stripes of an orange gradient splashed across it, along with a pair of bright blue athletic shorts. "Ta-da!

Hard to tell with how little fight she was putting up but you're looking pretty soft," she says. She gets a little grin on her face and steps closer, placing her hands on your gut a little below your navel.

<<Time 12.5>>"No way..." you mumble, clutching your gut. Now that she's really fighting, your stomach is getting very upset. Every kick or push sends a little wave of nausea through your body, your whole belly starting to ache. "No way is right," Sam says, shaking her head. "Don't you dare lose to her, she wasn't even fighting for half the time!" "Yes way! Haha, Alice is gonna be so proud!" Cassidy says, thrashing harder. You do your best to fight the feeling, but it's too late. Your stomach clamps down on Cassidy, and you feel an intense pressure start to push up into your chest. You slow her ascent a little by desperately trying to swallow her back down, but it's not enough to stop her from rising back through your throat. "Nope, I'm not eating someone's leftovers today," Sam says, scowling a little. She suddenly grabs the top of your belly, pushing down and in. It hurts, but amazingly you feel Cassidy come to a stop. "Keep her in there," Sam grunts. "Just think, your revenge is ruined if she gets away." Your eyes start to water a little from the strain<<if $ateAshley>>, getting bad reminders of what you went through last night,<</if>> as your body struggles. The muscles in your abdomen spasm a few times, attempting to overcome both of your resistance, but finally give in and relax. You feel Cassidy slowly get pushed back down into your stomach, your chest feeling sore from the ordeal. "//*UUurrp*// Ow..." you mutter, looking a little dazed. Sam eases off and steps back with a sigh. <<if $preyHealth > 1>>Before you can get a word out, a familiar feeling strikes from inside your gut and you jolt forward. "Come on, already?" Sam grumbles. You gag once, then something rises up your throat and you cough it out. A slimy, pink bra filled with holes falls from your mouth and lands on the floor with a splat. "//*BUUrrrp*// Gross..." you mutter, the faint taste of vomit staining your tongue. "Oh, nevermind," Sam chuckles.<<else>>"Thanks I guess, I'm surprised that actually worked." "Maeve's done it to me a few times, back when I was first learning," Sam says. "Doesn't always help, but usually if they didn't totally overpower you it works at least once."<</if>> "Hey, that's, like, cheating!" Cassidy complains, partially drowned out by a loud groan from your stomach. "Just don't let her beat you again, you're better than that..." Luckily, the experience seems to have worn Cassidy out as much as it did you. Over time her efforts gradually get weaker, your stomach churning away at her relentlessly. Gurgling and sloshing fills the air while you and Sam talk, your gut starting to smooth and soften. You idly run your hand along the stretched skin, not realizing how far along she's gotten until Sam chimes in. "She's gotta be done in there, right? She probably would have gotten you again by now if she was still kicking," she says. She gets a little grin on her face and steps closer, placing her hands on your gut a little below your navel. Before you can protest she pushes in pretty hard, your belly so squishy by now that her hands seem to disapper. "//*UUUURRP*// Easy, I'm still kinda sore from before!" you say, blushing a little. Sam lets go and pulls back, your gut falling back into position with a very audible sloshing sound. "Yeah she's definitely gone... Way further than I thought even, what time is it?" "About one thirty." "Woah seriously? I totally lost track of time, I've got another class soon," you say, stretching out as you return to a full standing position. Out of the corner of your eye, you just manage to spot the discarded bra you coughed up laying on the floor and get an idea. "Hey, can you pick that up for me?" "What? Gross I don't want to touch that," Sam says, crossing her arms. "It's a little too late if you were thinking of keeping that for yourself." "<<if $breastSize < 18>>You kidding?

"I was thinking we could leave Alice a little souvenir, now that we know where she lives." "Heh, flat out provoking her? You're bolder than I thought, $name," Sam says with a grin of her own. "Fine." With a little reluctance she crouches down and grabs the soggy mess, holding it up at an arms length away with two fingers. She holds it out to you. "You're carrying it though." "Yeah, yeah, don't be a baby," you laugh. "Let's go make our delivery.~" @@color:lime;Cassidy has been digested!@@ The two of you head out into the hall, making your way towards Lampton. Your bloated belly sways and jiggles a little with every step, drawing some attention as you move through the building. Going upstairs is a little difficult with the extra weight your carrying, leaving you slightly out of breath after lugging your gut all the way up. Eventually, however, you arrive at your destination: Room L202. You carefully hang the pock-marked bra over the doorknob, then step back to admire your work. "There," you say. "She might not have been too bothered losing the idiot, but the taunt is really gonna piss her off." "You sure you don't wanna put it inside on her bed or something? Really send a message," Sam suggests. "I don't want her to know for sure I have the key until I make my move. Plus, she might be in there for all we know..." "Well if she is she knows now, but fair enough I guess," Sam says with a shrug. The two of you start to head back over the bridge to Karbo. "This was kind of fun, shame only one of us got a meal though." "Thanks for the help!" you say, pausing at the top of the stairs before you both go your separate ways. "Next time you need help taking someone out, you know who to call," she says with a sly grin. "But after that, I'm //definitely// the one that gets to do the eating next time."<<if $samRel < 3>> <<Sam 1>><</if>> After saying goodbye to Sam, you start to head down the hall towards your class, feeling very satisfied with your lunch. <<include "playerPredEnd">>[[Head to class->September 4th- Escapism]]

<<set $ateMina to true>>Making your choice, you grip Mina tighter and pull her close to you. "Trust me..." you whisper to her. She's barely even had time to look up in confusion when you lift her up like Leila did and shove her head into your mouth. There's no time to wait for her to agree to the plan, you need to get her down before they have a chance to stop you. Luckily with Mina's size, that's not particularly difficult. You immediately swallow her head, lifting her tiny body up over your head to get some assistance from gravity as you gulp her down. She barely even moves as she slides down your throat. Whether she's going along with the plan or just stunned, you aren't sure, but she remains seemingly unbothered as she starts to curl up into your stomach. Before long, your lips seal around her toes and one last swallow sends her on her way. "//*Urp*// There," you say, wiping a bit of drool away from your mouth and patting your bloated belly. You knew she was short, but you're a little surprised to notice that the bulge she's making in your gut is actually notably smaller than usual. It's kind of nice to have that satisfying feeling of a full belly without being weighed down so much. "I think we're done here then," you say with a smug smile, picking up the boots that Mina dropped. The redhead that ate Tia is grinning and giving you a pretty surprised look, while Leila has a blank expression, her mouth hanging open a little. You were anticipating her being pissed, but her shoulders just sag. "Of course... easiest meal around and things still can't go my way..." she sighs, starting to walk away. "Whatever..." <<Leila -1>> "Such a baby..." the other girl chides, shaking her head. "That was a pretty good move freshie, I bet I'll be seeing you around," she says with a laugh, walking off with Tia in tow. You pause for a moment, not expecting that to have worked so flawlessly, then shrug and start to head toward Karbo. Mina bounces along with you in your gut as you move. It makes the most sense to get a little distance between you and your would-be predators even if the scene has cleared, the lobby bathroom seems like a good place to let her out. Although... "Excuse me, $name?" you hear Mina's muffled voice ask as you step inside. "Why have you swallowed me?"

<<Time 16.75>><<set $day4Hunt to true>>You decide that you'd rather have live prey tonight--there will probably be normal food at club anyways. Getting up from your bed, you stretch your arms and head for the door, stepping out into the hall. It's a nice day out, so you feel like making the courtyard your hunting ground today. You make your way through the halls towards the lobby, finding things pretty quiet. It occurs to you that right now may not actually be the best time, since all of the other clubs are currently meeting. But, it's not like everyone is in a club, and at the very least you might run into another Cooking Club member, so you continue on your way outside. As you'd started to expect, the courtyard is pretty barren right now. There was one person hurrying into the sports complex when you first stepped out, probably late to one of the clubs there, but beyond that it's a ghost town. Seeing as you've got plenty of time to kill, you start to wander around the walkways a bit, enjoying the evening atmosphere as you wait for potential prey to appear. After a while, you take a seat at one of the benches near the fountain. Just as you're starting to think this is a bust, two girls come out of the dining hall. You pull out your phone and do your best to look inconspicuous as they get close. "Geez, Beth, I didn't realize you pigged out //that// much," one of the girls says. "Just because there were less people than usual didn't mean you had to make up for them..." "//*URP*// But it was sooo good..." the other girl replies. "Fresh off the grill, I should go early more often..." "They're gonna ban you if you do this again! Just how many burgers are in there?" the first girl says. Glancing over at them, you notice that the one you assume is Beth has a noticeably distended belly. The other girl is poking it. "H-Hey, stop it..! I lost count around twenty..." Beth says. She grumbles and rests her own hand on it. "They aren't appreciating all this walking around..." She drops down onto one of the other benches with a huff. "Seriously? It's just normal food, you've walked around way bigger than this." "I can't argue with how my body feels," Beth says with a shrug. "Actual food //*urp*// hits different than a person." "Well I'm not just gonna wait around here..." "That's fine, I'll see you back at the dorm." The other girl grumbles and walks off, leaving Beth alone to soothe her belly on the courtyard bench. You start to think the situation through. You have the perfect opportunity to try and make a meal of Beth, but looking her over... She's a brunette that seems to be a little taller than you, and definitely on the chubby side of things. Not to mention the gut she's sporting right now. <<if $fullness > 0>>Especially with some of $lastPrey still sloshing through you, you<<else>>You<</if>>'re worried that she might be a bit too much for you. \ <<link "Too risky">><<replace "#choice">>Feeling it's too much of a risk, you decide to pass her up and hope someone else comes along. You pass the time on your phone, waiting around for her to leave so you can continue your hunt. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to be planning on getting up any time soon, and no one else seems to be passing through. With a sigh, you settle on just calling it a bust for today and grabbing something at the dining hall.

<<set $karma += 1>><<set $minaSaved += 1>>"Oh, sorry about how sudden that was!" you say, giving your belly a pat. "We were kinda in a pinch there with both girls, I figured if I swallowed you it would put us both off of the menu. And it worked! I'm on my way to the bathroom to let you out right now, don't worry." "That's very clever! I have never been one for quick thinking under pressure." You feel Mina shift a little. "I suppose this was for the best, but please hurry." You head straight for the bathroom, luckily finding it empty when you step inside. Not sure exactly what your game plan is, you walk to the middle of the room and place your hands on your Mina-filled gut. You run your hands down it and gently bounce it up a few times. "Alright Mina, just sit tight..." you say. With a deep breath, you push in and up on the bulge she's making. Not quite feeling it, you give her a little shake before pushing in harder. That seems to hit the sweet spot and your stomach lurches, quickly pushing her back into your throat. It doesn't take long for her to slide back out of your mouth once the process has started. She's quick to push herself up off the ground, her face completely concealed by wet hair. Sitting up, she brushes half of it aside to get back to her usual look. Other than being drenched with your digestive fluids, she doesn't really seem bothered by the experience. "Thank you $name, it was rather unpleasant in there. But it would have been much worse had the other girl eaten me, I very much appreciate it!" she says, giving you a tiny smile as she finally stands up. She fusses with her clothes a little. "I don't believe this will make for a very good first impression..." "<<if $knowUniform>>Oh I know!<<else>>Hmm, I think I remember hearing something about the staff being able to help you in situations like this...<</if>>" you say. "Try and clean your hair out a little with the sink, I'll go talk to the woman at the front desk." You leave Mina to go talk to the secretary<<if $knowUniform>> about getting her a uniform<</if>>. She seems quite busy as you approach the desk. "Um, excuse me?" you say. <<if $knowUniform>>"Could I get a uniform for my friend? She'll probably need the smallest size you have." "Oh, of course dear!" she says, leaning over to dig through a drawer on her desk. She pulls out a bagged uniform and hands it to you with a smile. "I hope this will work for her. Oh, but do tell her to change back out of it as soon as she can, it can make you a bit of a target today!"<<else>>"My friend was... recently in //someone's// stomach, and her clothes are pretty much ruined.

Um, she'll probably need whatever the smallest size you have is." She nods and reaches a little deeper into the drawer, pulling out a clear plastic bag with neatly folded clothes inside. She hands it to you with a smile. "Here you go, I hope this will work for her. Oh, but do tell her to change back out of it as soon as she can, it can make you a bit of a target today!"<</if>> "Got it, thank you!" you say, grabbing the clothes and heading back to the bathroom. You find Mina wringing her hair out into a drain on the floor when you step back in. She seems to have done a shockingly good job rinsing it despite such inconvenient means. "Here, I got you a school uniform to change into," you say, handing her the bag. "Thank you!" "You go ahead and get changed, I'll block the door," you say, giving her a smile. You step back outside and stand by the door to make sure she has some privacy. After a few minutes, the door opens behind you and she steps out, looking much better than when she came out of you, though her hair is still clearly wet. The uniform seems a bit big on her, the sleeves of the jacket halfway covering her hands, but it's kind of an adorable look. She's carefully folded up her ruined clothes and placed them into the bag the uniform came in, carrying it at her side. "Okay, I'm ready to go!" she squeaks. You give her a smile and the two of you head off down the hall. <<Mina 1>> [[Head to class->September 2nd- Escapism]]

Her struggling was so weak that you don't really notice the activity dying down, most of your attention shifting to the lecture Slate is giving by that point. But as your hands idly rub against your belly, you start to realize that not only is it much softer, it also already seems smaller. Giving it a curious push, you find your hand able to sink into the flesh a bit, and a sloshing sound is the only reaction from within. A small belch rises up your throat<<if $slateFavor < 0>>, which you quickly stifle with a hand, terrified Slate will count it as disrupting class<<else>>, which you take as a sign that your stomach won the sad excuse for a fight she gave it<</if>>.

"As for you, Mercato, I hope this has been an enlightening experience." She turns away from the class a bit and pushes down on her gut. As efficiently as she went in, Alice is quickly forced back up Slate's throat and onto the ground. Her face is bright red and scowling as she gets to her feet. She's in surprisingly good condition for how long she was inside, not hurt at all and her outfit completely intact, if a bit disheveled.

You head to an open seat and plop yourself down, having to carefully adjust yourself in the seat to accomodate the extra bulk of Mina. Looking around the room, you notice Emma sitting just a few rows ahead of you. She's looking your way, but looks a little wary and just gives you a wave from where she is.<<if $metAlice>> You also spot Alice sitting at the front of the room, looking as full of herself as ever.<</if>> As you wait for class to start, you lean back and rest a hand on your gut, waiting to see if Mina will actually offer any kind of challenge. Thus far, she seems to be pretty idle. <<elseif $turn is 1>> <<append "#digestion">> "Everyone, quiet!" a voice commands from the front of the room. It belongs to a woman with short, dark brown hair standing in front of the whiteboard. She's wearing an open grey suit over a dark purple vest and dress shirt. Her face is stern, slight bags under her eyes and her mouth just shy of frowning. "It is time for class. I am Professor Slate, and this is Escapism. If you're in the wrong room, save yourself the embarrassment and leave now." A few seats away, a very flustered girl quickly gets up and rushes out of the room. Slate watches her go and rolls her eyes. "Now then, there is one thing I want to make very clear to you all. You //need// this class," Slate says, starting to slowly make her way around the room passing out sheets of paper. The room is silent outside of the clicking of her heels against the linoleum and her commanding voice. She comes to a stop at your desk and her eyes narrow a little. "What is your name?" "Um, $name..." you mumble, starting to feel nervous. "//Full// name," she tuts. "$name $last," you quickly blurt out, shifting a little to try and hide your belly even though it's much too late if that's what she's upset about. "Well, Miss $last, it's bad form to show up to any class with live prey. Refrain from causing any kind of distraction, and I expect you not to do this again. Is that clear?" she says, glaring down at you. "Yes ma'am, I'm sorry," you reply, eager to no longer be the center of attention. "Very good," she says, finally moving on. "As I was saying, escaping from a predator is the most critical skill for you newcomers to learn. It is, quite literally, a matter of life and death. I can assure you that as you are now, not one of you stands a chance against the stomach of an even halfway competent predator." "It's what you deserve if you're weak enough to end up there," <<if $metAlice>>Alice<<else>>a dark haired girl at the front of the class<</if>> sneers. There's a tense silence that she doesn't seem to notice as she reads through the syllabus she's been handed, a bored expression on her face. "Mercato," Slate growls, utter disdain in her voice. "Thank you, it's always lovely to have a volunteer on the first day." She walks over to her desk and pulls a bottle out of the top drawer. You watch as she removes a sizeable tablet from the container and quickly swallows it, then starts to move toward <<if $metAlice>>Alice<<else>>the interrupting girl<</if>>. "Excuse me?" she says. "You're quite confident in your abilities, correct?" Slate says, standing right next to her. Your eyes widen a bit as you see her unbutton the bottom of her shirt. "Yeah, of course," <<if $metAlice>>Alice<<else>>the girl<</if>> mutters. Slate grabs her arm and pulls her up onto her feet. "Hey-!" "Then demonstrate," Slate says. You watch in disbelief as the professor swallows her. It's cold and efficient, in just a few seconds the bratty girl is hoisted up into the air and plunged down Slate's gullet. Her belly bulges out from under her clothes with the thrashing form of her student, the undone segment of her shirt perfectly parting around the bloated orb of flesh. Even being as far away as you are, you can faintly hear <<if $metAlice>>Alice<<else>>the girl<</if>> roaring in outrage. "There," Slate says once her prey is tucked away, stifling a burp. "Let this be two lessons to all of you. First, none of you are nearly as good as you think you are. And second: Never interrupt me while I'm teaching. Am I clear?" "Yes ma'am!" most of the class yelps. <</append>> <<elseif $turn is 2>> <<append "#digestion">> "Now, I need to take care of attendance, and then we can begin." Slate says, returning to the desk at the front of the room. She begins to read off a list of names from the computer, waiting for a response from each person. When she gets to "Mina Long", you get a sheepish look and raise your hand. "She's, uh, occupied," you say with a nervous laugh. That gets a chuckle out of someone to your right, but Slate has no reaction, simply moving on to the next name. When she gets to <<if $metAlice>>Alice's name<<else>>the name "Alice Mercato"<<set $metAlice to true>><</if>>, she just pats the top of her squirming belly with one hand and continues on to the next. Soon enough the last name is called and Slate walks back to the front of the class. Her gait is a little different, but she seems completely unbothered by the added bulk of her gut. "Before I begin, are there any questions about the contents of the syllabus I've given you?" "U-Um," one girl stutters with her hand raised. She has a panicked look in her eyes--you get the feeling she really doesn't want to ask her question but can't help herself. "Why is the class called Escapism? T-That's not really what that word means..." Slate huffs. "That's correct. You can blame Miss Gossam for that, she thought it would be a more 'fun' title for the class back when she was the only one teaching it," she explains. "Now, are there any //important// questions?" Silence. "Then let's begin." She launches into a lecture on the basics of escaping from inside a predator, starting with the challenges faced by a person that finds themself inside a stomach. You do your best to pay attention, but the weight in your gut and Mina's weak attempts at struggling seem to draw more of your focus. You laugh a little under your breath at the irony that information that would have helped her get out is being provided while she's already digesting. <</append>> <<elseif $turn is 3>> <<append "#digestion">> "$name?" you faintly hear Mina say over a groan from your stomach.

"There's no way Slate will let me leave just to let you out, you'd have to last until the end of class..." "Oh... I suppose I understand. I will have to keep fighting," she replies, giving a halfhearted push.

Where did that come from?" "Hehe, you know, she's right, I could be the perfect ingredient you're missing...~" Penny says, giving you an uncomfortable look with a hand resting under her chin. "I wouldn't mind...<<if $fullness > 0>> Hehe especially with what's left of whoever else you ate still sloshing around in there with me...<</if>>" "Uh..." "Don't fall for it freshie," the redhead to your right says, laughing a little. "Penny's into getting eaten and can definitely kick your stomach's ass, it's just gonna be a bad time all around if you try it." "Aw come on, she was totally thinking about it..." Cherry pouts.<<if $fullness > 4>> "//Pfft//, no she wasn't, you think a freshman is eating anything more with a gut that big?" the redhead laughs.<</if>> "Um, good to know I guess..." you say, feeling a little uncomfortable.<</if>> "As you're all enjoying your ice cream, take a moment to really look at the sundae each of your neighbors has created. It might seem silly, but everyone has a different approach, and it can give you some great insight into how that person views cooking--whether they care about presentation or simply flavor, if they take every dish seriously or only apply themselves for 'real' cooking, lots of things if you really pay attention!" Kira says, slowly walking around the table as she talks. "Sometimes something as simple as this can even tell you a lot about who they are as a person. For an easy example, take a look at Rachel." She gestures to the redhead on your right. You look over at Rachel, noticing that she didn't make a sundae at all. Instead, she's gotten a cup from somewhere and seems to be attempting to make an alcoholic milkshake of some kind using a flask of something she brought herself. It doesn't look like it's working very well since she's just stirring it by hand. "Hey, don't judge me, K," Rachel says. "It's certainly a creative approach to a sundae. You can go use the blender in the kitchen if you want," Kira says. "Bet." Rachel gets up and scurries off to make her dream come true properly. "A better example might be Cherry," Kira says, stopping by the two of you and leaning over to look at her bowl. "She's got her sundae piled high with toppings, and all of them are just heaped on top. There's so much extra on here that I can't even tell what flavor of ice cream you used. Clearly you're the type of cook who values flavor over anything else, and perhaps quantity over quality as well," she says, standing back up straight. "And if we want to dig deeper, we could take it as a sign that Cherry has a chaotic personality, or maybe that she has a tendency to hide or cover things up, with how excessive her toppings are." "Alright easy, I was with you on the cooking stuff but you can't palm read my ice cream," Cherry says, taking a somewhat aggressive bite of her sundae. "Of course, of course, sometimes it's just fun to see how far you can take it," Kira says with a quick laugh. "Let's take a look at one of our new members, $name." <<include "kiraJudge">> While Kira moves on to the other side of the table, you turn to the girl on your right. She hasn't really said anything yet and looks a little uncomfortable--probably another freshman. Taking Kira's advice, you look at her sundae before saying anything. It's simple, just chocolate ice cream, whipped cream, a drizzle of fudge, and one cherry on top, but everything is perfectly arranged. "Hey, good job on your sundae," you say, giving her a smile. "What's your name?" "Thank you, it's Trisha," she says, seeming to light up a little but not quite smiling. <<if _chaotic>>"I wish I could say the same about yours, but it's kind of an abomination." "Uh, heh, I guess that's fair..."<<elseif _refined>>"Yours looks really good too, I appreciate the effort compared to most of these people." "Thanks!" you say, giving her a smile.<<else>>"Everyone else's is pretty messy, I was expecting better out of people in the cooking club." "Well, I think everyone was creative at least," you reply. "But cooking is all about order and structure! You've gotta do it by the book."<</if>> Your conversation is interrupted by Rachel returning to the table with her perfected milkshake. Her cheeks are looking pretty flushed. "Haha damn! This is actually pretty shit," she says as she plops down into her seat, taking a long sip. "It's just soggy ice cream without doing anything to hide the alcohol flavor." Kira stops and looks over at her, resting a hand on her chin. "You probably put too much vodka in, you need the right ratios for stuff like that. And strawberry might mask the alcohol a little better..." she mumbles. "You know what, talk to me after club, I bet I can make that work." "Hell yeah! That's why you're the one in charge K," Rachel laughs. <<if $trialParticipant and !$trialSavedByNadia>>She stops just as she's about to make another sip when she catches you looking her way. She squints a little and points at you, leaning on the table. "You look familiar..." "Well--" "WAIT I know!" she says with a big grin. "You're the winning freshman from Maeve's party, aren't you? Yeah, yeah! Now that I'm picturing Ashley's dumb face getting crammed down your throat it's obvious.<<if $fullness > 4>> Haha and it looks like you're already hard at work defending your title of freshman champion, I love it!<</if>>" <<if $day3DinnerCherry>>"See $name, you're welcome, you're making all kinds of upperclassmen friends now," Cherry says, giving you a little nudge. "It wasn't exactly a fun time you know," you say, glaring back at her.<<else>>"Oh shit, you got put through the trials?" Cherry says. "Haha, //I// wasn't even reckless enough to wind up there last year, nice going. Guess you're more clever than I thought if you made it through." "Yeah, it wasn't really a fun time."<</if>> "Haha, does Maeve still wave that arm around?" Cherry laughs. "She absolutely still has Mabel's arm!" Rachel says, laughing with her. "Sorry, sorry, 'The Hand of Mabel'." "Yeah, what the hell was up with that?" you ask. "Ah don't worry about it, just gotta respect it," she replies. She lets out a little burp before taking another sip of her milkshake.<<else>> She takes another long sip, then makes a face and blinks a few times as she pulls away.<</if>> "How crude..." Trisha mutters. "Aw c'mon freshie," Rachel says with a grin. She holds the cup out to her. "You want some?" "I... yes..." Trisha says quietly, looking sheepish. Rachel laughs and passes it to her. "Rachel getting a freshman drunk, classic Cooking Club," Cherry chuckles. You turn to look at her, catching her eating a spoonful of her sundae and gagging. "Not exactly a masterpiece, huh?" you say with a little smirk. "What do you mean?" she says, going for another spoonful and getting just two cherries. She makes a sour face as soon as they're in her mouth. "Cherry..." you say, squinting at her. "Do you... not actually like cherries?" "How could I not?" she says, shivering a little after swallowing. "I'm named after them, of course I love them." "In that case, here," Kira says, cutting in. She sets the whole jar of leftover cherries in front of her. "I got these with the club's budget just for tonight so they'd just go to waste, and sometimes I get tired of Izumi getting all the leftovers." You notice her crack a slight smile as she quickly returns to her work cleaning up the sundae supplies. "Thanks..." Cherry says, pursing her lips as she looks down at the jar. With a sigh she unscrews the top and pulls one out. "Cherry, no one's making you eat them," you say. "What are you talking about, I //want// to eat them," Cherry replies, looking disgusted as she chokes the fruit down. "Why is that hard to understand?" "Seriously, you don't have to do this." "Yes I do," she grunts, tossing another in her mouth. "This is the weirdest thing to be stubbornly proud of I've ever seen. You obviously don't like them." "Shut up, don't spread lies about me," she says, gagging as she brings another cherry to her face. "Just admit--" "FUCK YOU!" she suddenly shouts, slamming her hand on the table and chugging most of what's left in the jar. "She's always like this..." Penny sighs, peacefully eating her sundae as she enjoys the show. Cherry eventually cools down once the jar is gone, but her odd outburst sets the tone for the rest of the night. Conversation hadn't returned to normalcy for long before Trisha became drunkenly overconfident from Rachel's milkshake and started aggressively critiquing everyone's sundaes. Evidently, she was highly disappointed with most of the club members's performance. This sparked a passionate debate with Kira, and things spiraled from there. Eventually, the conversation starts to die down, and everyone's bowls have long since been emptied. "Well, I think it might be about time to call it a night," Kira says, starting to collect everyone's bowls. "Thanks so much for coming everyone, I hope you all had fun! Next week we'll get into some real cooking, I've already got some ideas for what we'll do after talking to you all. Try to stay safe until then!" She gives everyone a warm smile and a slight bow. "Oh, and email me any time if you have an idea for a dish you'd like to make in club!" Everyone but Izumi and Rachel gets up to leave, most of them heading for the stairs to return to their dorms. You get up to join them, ending up walking side by side with Cherry. <<if $cherryRel > 0>>"So that was fun, huh? It's nice to see you join the weirdos, I knew I had the right idea about you," Cherry says, nudging you. "You know, not exactly what I was expecting but it was nice!" you reply. "You<<if $metPenny>> and Penny are<<else>>'re<</if>> definitely strange, but no one else seemed that unusual, I wouldn't call them 'the weirdos'." "Oh just you wait until Kira really gets going," Cherry laughs. "Her reading way too much into your sundae was //nothing// compared to some of the stuff she's done in the past. Girl is obsessed with food, and not in the mostly normal way Izumi is obsessed with food."<<else>>"So whatd'ya think of club, freshie," she says. "It's $name," you reply. She just shrugs. "It was fun, definitely interesting at least with stuff like your cherry tirade and those other two getting drunk. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting, but it sounds like next week we'll be getting more to what I thought the club would be." "Yeah, I mean you get free food and everyone there is a little crazy, definitely the best deal out of any club," Cherry says with a laugh. "Well, Carol isn't crazy other than the fact that she never quit after seeing how most meetings go."<</if>> The two of you make it up the stairs and only a little ways down the hall before Cherry stops. She's right in front of Room L225 when she pulls out her key.<<set $cherryDorm to true>> "This is my stop, I'll see ya around $name," she says, giving a quick wave before disappearing into her dorm.<<if $cherryRel < 2>> <<if $iceCreamTemp.cherries>><<Cherry 2>><<else>><<Cherry 1>><</if>><<elseif $iceCreamTemp.cherries>> <<Cherry 1>><</if>> Left on your own, you make your way through the quiet halls back to your own dorm.

She trails off and looks over at <<if $metPenny>>Penny<<else>> a short-haired brunette on the other side of the table<</if>>. "Most people don't really like them, but you get used to it." "Yeah it's not so bad!" Haley says. "Actually kinda fun in a way if you just roll with it." "I hate them," Izumi chimes in. She scarfs down some of her ice cream before continuing. "It isn't right. Food is only supposed to go in, not be forced back out." "Well, it's your classmates that were only in your stomach because class made them, not food," Haley says. "Ah, Izumi has a... concerning opinion on what constitutes food," Carol says a little nervously. "It's a more honest opinion," Izumi says with a little smile. She's in the middle of spraying an entire can of whipped cream onto her ice cream. "Carol only worries because she is fit to be a main course." "<<if $totalPrey > 2>>You know, I guess that's fair enough,<<else>>I see...<</if>>" you say. You notice Carol shift her seat away from Izumi a little.<<else>>"Hey there, I'm Haley!" the redhead on your left says. <<if $iceCreamTemp.toppings is 0>>She glances at your bowl and seems confused.

"I hope you're all liking it so far." "I was expecting to do some cooking, but this is still nice, very laid back!" Haley says. "It's hard to argue with free ice cream," Mia says. "That is the main perk of being in the club," Izumi giggles. "We will do cooking later." "You know, you're the vice president, shouldn't //you// be the one welcoming our new recruits?" Carol says, giving Izumi a look. "Oh, you're right," Izumi says. She stops eating for a moment and looks over at the three of you. "You all look delicious! Especially the blonde in the back," she says with a big smile. "U-Um, thank you?" Mia says nervously.<</if>> "As you're all enjoying your ice cream, take a moment to really look at the sundae each of your neighbors has created. It might seem silly, but everyone has a different approach, and it can give you some great insight into how that person views cooking--whether they care about presentation or simply flavor, if they take every dish seriously or only apply themselves for 'real' cooking, lots of things if you really pay attention!" Kira says, slowly walking around the table as she talks. "Sometimes something as simple as this can even tell you a lot about who they are as a person. For an easy example, take a look at Rachel." She gestures to a redhead on the other side of the table<<if $ateAshley>>--you quickly recognize her as the girl from the party last night that ate Karen and helped get you drunk<<elseif $day2LunchAlone>>--you recognize her as the girl that ate Tia on Monday and give Mia an awkward glance<</if>>. You look over at Rachel, noticing that she didn't make a sundae at all. Instead, she's gotten a cup from somewhere and seems to be attempting to make an alcoholic milkshake of some kind using a flask of something she brought herself. It doesn't look like it's working very well since she's just stirring it by hand. "Hey, don't judge me, K," Rachel says. "It's certainly a creative approach to a sundae. You can go use the blender in the kitchen if you want," Kira says. "Bet." Rachel gets up and scurries off to make her dream come true properly. "Another simple example is our VP Izumi," Kira says, stopping by the two of you. Izumi doesn't actually have a sundae in a bowl like everyone else, but instead has three full tubs of ice cream that she's eating directly out of, one of which is already gone. She also has full containers of several different toppings that she's pouring on as she goes. "As you can see, Izumi is very much a glutton. She worries more about the amount of food than the quality, and presentation is meaningless. She didn't even prepare herself a real sundae, just dug right in. This can also paint you a good picture of how dangerous a predator she can be." "I do care about quality, but this does not require fancy prep to be good," Izumi replies, dumping some fudge into one of the tubs and stirring it around. "There is plenty of food that is delicious all on its own, especially right here in the club," she adds, patting her mildly bloated belly. "I should reiterate that 'dangerous predator' part," Kira sighs. "Let's take a look at one of our new members, $name." <<include "kiraJudge">> While Kira moves on to the other side of the table, you turn to watch Izumi in amazement. Just in the time since her judgement, she's already finished the second tub of ice cream and started tearing into the last. You've never seen someone putting away food like that before, especially not someone who doesn't seem to have any kind of weight issues. "So, uh, you've got a pretty big appetite, huh?" you say. "Yes!" she replies with a smile. "<<if $fullness > 4>>I see you do too!<<else>>If you're here you have swallowed a person before, right?<</if>> There is plenty of room in there, why not use it?" She adjusts herself in her seat a little to emphasize her gut, as further proof of her point. "You know, that is a good point actually, I've always found it strange how a normal meal can satisfy me, or sometimes even make me feel full, even though I can fit entire people in my stomach<<if $fullness > 4>> and look like $name without an issue<</if>>," Haley chimes in. "I mean, I'm grateful I don't have to actually //survive// off of meals that size, but it is weird to think about." "I don't remember all the specifics, but if I'm remembering right from A&P everyone has a sort of 'switch' that gets triggered when you start to swallow a large meal," Carol says. "Signals your body to do all sorts of things differently, like how swallowing someone never triggers your gag reflex." "Really? That's neat, I never knew!" Haley says. "Yeah! My personal theory is that Izumi's 'switch' is permanently stuck on pred mode," Carol says. "She seriously eats like this all the time, in fact this is nothing compared to some of the binges I've seen her go on since last year." "I just like food," Izumi says, in the middle of burying her ice cream with whipped cream. "Especially this, chocomint is my favorite!" "'Chocomint'? I've never heard that before," you say. "Oh yes, here you just call it... mint chocolate chip, right?" Izumi says. "Chocomint is what we call the flavor in Japan." "Wait, you're from Japan?" Haley says. "Yes, did my accent not give it away?" she replies with a little giggle. As if she needed to further prove it, she then says something in japanese that you're sure no one but her followed. "Well, I don't like to assume..." Haley says. "Your english is really good!" "Thank you! I have been living here for over two years now," Izumi says, giving her a warm smile. "They don't have any schools like this back home, but I knew what I wanted to do." "That's cool, I didn't realize they accepted international students here," you chime in. "Yep, there's a foreign girl in my class too!" Carol says. "I want to say she's from... Finland? I don't one hundred percent remember, I don't talk to her that much." The five of you keep chatting, having a very pleasant conversation. You were a little on edge around Izumi after some of the things she'd said, but, at least while she's got food to occupy her, she's surprisingly nice. After a little while, your calm conversation is interrupted by a blonde girl on the other side of the table standing up and starting to aggressively critique everyone's sundaes. Noticing she was sitting next to Rachel, who seems very amused, you're pretty sure she's drunk. Evidently, she was highly disappointed with most of the club members's performance. This sparked a passionate debate with Kira, and things spiraled from there. Eventually, the conversation starts to die down, and everyone's bowls have long since been emptied. "Well, I think it might be about time to call it a night," Kira says, starting to collect everyone's bowls. "Thanks so much for coming everyone, I hope you all had fun!

She leans in a bit to look at your bowl. <<if $iceCreamTemp.toppings is 0>>She frowns when she sees what you've done, yet still seems to be studying it for an awkward amount of time. Eventually she leans back again and sighs. "This is an easy one, it tells us that $name is very much a traditionalist, she likes things simple and straightforward. Anything extra added to a dish, like toppings or garnish, she probably just sees as a distraction, and feels like the food should stand on its own," she says. "And maybe we could say that she's the kind of person who doesn't like to play along or enjoys going against the grain just for the sake of it.<<if $iceCreamTemp.mixed>> There was at least a bit of creativity shown, I suppose, by using so many flavors at once.<</if>>" "I just like my ice cream plain," you say with a shrug.

"It's certainly a bit chaotic, and shows you worry more about flavor than presentation, but from the way you've laid things out, I get the sense you're more a fan of live food.

"But even more interesting, I get the feeling that there was some hesitation here, like you're a little afraid to make something unique and interesting.

"It must have been awful, clubs were supposed to be a time for us to relax and have fun..." "It... thank you," you say with a sigh as Emma finally pulls back. "I needed that." She gives you a warm smile, resting a hand on your thigh. "I'm here for you, you know?" she says, a slight blush creeping onto her cheeks. "There's a lot of awful stuff that can happen here,<<if $emmaInjured>>" she briefly glances down at her injured arm, "<</if>> don't be afraid to talk to me when it happens to you." You match her smile, the two of you staring right into each other's eyes. Then, the moment is disrupted by Emma suddenly being struck by a heavy yawn. "S-Sorry," she says, blushing much more now. "I'm actually very tired after club." You match her yawn and you both giggle. "You're fine, I should probably call it a night too," you say.

You get up as casually as you can, walking over near the other bench where Beth is sitting. With her back to the fountain, you doubt there's a way for you to sneak up on her, so you'll have to try a different approach. As you walk by where she's sitting you pretend to notice her for the first time. "Heh, you working through one of our classmates?" you ask, turning toward her and stepping a bit closer. You quickly look her over now that you're up close. She's got brown eyes, a small splash of freckles across her nose, and straightened, medium length hair. Her bare belly peeks out from under her clothes, her shirt riding up and the bottom few buttons on her sweater undone to let it rest more comfortably. It isn't huge, but it has definitely swollen enough that she could pass as pregnant. "Huh?" she says, a little startled. It seems like she was so focused on nursing her belly that she didn't even notice you approach, maybe it would have been better to just take her by surprise. "O-Oh no, haha! This //*urp*//--sorry--is just... a lot of burgers," she says, rubbing a hand along her stomach. <<if $fullness > 8>>"What about you?" "Oh yeah, I've still got a bit of her to go through," you say, patting your own gut. She mistakenly seems to be put at ease by you already having a bloated belly. "But that's crazy, I don't think I've ever eaten enough regular food to get even close to that size! Can I touch it?"<<else>> "Wow, that's crazy! I don't think I've ever eaten enough regular food to get even close to that size! Can I touch it?" you ask, taking a step closer.<</if>> "Oh, um, I guess," she replies, shifting in place a little. You walk up and crouch down in front of her, giving her belly a poke. It immediately lets out an audible groan. You gently rest your fingers against it, finding it less squishy that you were expecting for the size. It must be packed in a lot tighter since it's just normal food. "You're kinda weird..." Beth says, blushing a little. "What's your name? I'm Bethany." "$name. You think this would stop someone from swallowing you? It might be a smart way to live, eating like this all the time." "That's an interesting point... I don't know though, some of the girls here are scary good. I bet it would probably make it harder at least." "Why don't we find out?" "Nah, I'd rather--wait what?" Beth says, realizing what's going on just a moment before you plunge her head into your mouth. You swallow hard, bringing her down into your throat. You try to move quickly, your positioning somewhat awkward as you lean over the bench holding her arms. With another few swallows, you get down to her chest, your lips sealing her arms to her sides. She makes some muffled protest from inside of you and starts to kick her legs frantically. In a quick sequence, you swallow and bring her breasts into your mouth, then drop backward to get into a better position, pulling her off the bench with you. Now you've arrived at the real challenge: your mouth is resting just above the swell of her belly. You can already feel her head causing your own to bulge--there's no turning back now. You swallow, inching you up slightly over the bloated flesh. However, it feels like she's starting to slide back out. You swallow again, as hard as you can, sliding your lips a little further over the mound. Realizing this pace isn't going to cut it, you bring your hands up and push in on her belly, squeezing it down a bit, then swallow one last time. There's a muffled cry from inside you and Beth starts to squirm as the combined force brings the mound all the way into your mouth. @@color:yellowgreen;You overpowered your prey@@ Your throat feels tight as her belly starts to slide down, straining to contain the extra mass. You do your best to gulp down her legs as quickly as you can, your eyes starting to water a little as the intense pressure of her heavy dinner slowly squeezes down your esophagus. Eventually, you feel her belly pop into your own and you're finally relieved. You eagerly swallow down the last of her legs, smiling as one final swallow sends her feet down to join the rest of her. "//*UUUUrrp*// Looks like the answer is //*urp*// no!" you say with a laugh, panting slightly from all the effort. You give your gut a firm smack, feeling the last of her curl up inside. It's<<if $fullness > 7>> absolutely<</if>> massive, she was even bigger than you thought. But, somehow, you've pulled it off. Still sitting on the ground, you lean back against the bench with a smile. "I can't believe you! I felt like I was gonna barf the whole time your throat was squeezing my belly..." Beth shouts from inside you. <<if $digestion > 1>>"And it's so disgusting in here, it's like half full of... sludge." "Oh yeah, that's $lastPrey!" you laugh. Taking a deep breath, you push yourself up to actually sit on the bench, leaning back with a sigh when you finally get there. "Make sure you play nice," you laugh, patting her head through your belly.<<else>>"Y-You have your answer now, so please let me out." "No way, you kinda hurt going down!" you say. Taking a deep breath, you push yourself up to actually sit on the bench, leaning back with a sigh when you finally get there.

There's a muffled cry from inside you and Beth starts to squirm from the pressure, but even with the added force you can't quite make it over the crest of her belly. You try a few more times in vain, but the task seems insurmountable, and your mouth and throat are really starting to ache from holding her wriggling upper body for so long. @@color:orange;<<if ($fullness + 7) > $maxFullCap>>There wasn't enough room in your stomach for her<<else>>Your strength fails you<</if>>.@@ With painful regret, you give up and start to gently pull her back out. The moment her arms are free enough, she gets a grip on you and pushes herself out much faster. You gag and fall backwards, both of you going into a brief fit of coughing on the ground. "Alright, I guess that's a yes..." you say weakly, wiping spit off of your mouth. "I'd say..." Beth grumbles, getting to her feet. The whole upper half of her body is damp with saliva. "Gross... And all that pushing on my belly really hurt, jerk, I almost threw up inside you..." "Well, at least we have our answer about being pred-proof?" you say with a slight laugh. "Shut up..." she grumbles, walking off toward Karbo. You sigh and slowly get back up onto your feet, your throat still feeling a little strange. That failure killed your appetite for live prey, but you should probably still get something to eat before club. With another sigh, you start to head for the dining hall.

<<if $preyHealth is 0>> <<append "#digestion">> You lean back into the bench, sighing with content as Bethany's struggling starts to fade completely. You run a hand along your stretched belly, enjoying the feeling of being so stuffed. A grin creeps onto your face as you massage the slowly softening skin. She was big enough that she should have been a challenge even without her recent binge, but you still got her down, and she and her meal are still churning away inside of you. Not even a full week at MVA and you've improved a lot. An odd groan rumbling through your belly makes you snap back to attention. The bulges your prey was making have mostly softened, your massive gut rounding out to a smooth, uniform surface. You give it a curious push and immediately feel an intense pressure inside you, sending a massive belch erupting out of you. @@color:lime;Beth has been digested!@@ You rest your arms along the back of the bench and let yourself relax, utterly satisfied with your meal.

<<Time 16.25>>You head across the hall and into the locker room. <<if $tourLocker>>It looks pretty much just how you remember it from when you were in here on orientation day, though it's a lot more populated now.

The left wall is barren, but on the right is an alcove ringed with grey lockers with a flat bench in the middle. There are two more identical alcoves behind it, each section divided by a row of lockers. At the far end of the room is a bathroom and what looks to be a few showers.

She's very confident, quickly stripping down to her underwear.<<else>>she's got long black hair, blue eyes, and tan skin.

"Sorry,<</if>> I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, am I too close?

"Oh, no, you're fine," you say, a little hastily. "<<if $metMiranda>>It's<<else>>I'm<</if>> $name." There's a slight awkward pause as you both quickly slide off your panties and step into your swimsuits, pulling them up to your waist. "Is this your first time on a sports team? Most locker rooms I've been in were even more open than this," she says. "No, I swam in my senior year and did volleyball before that," you say, taking off your bra beneath your shirt. Miranda isn't so modest and lets her fairly impressive bust hang bare for a moment before pulling her suit the rest of the way up. "My highschool's locker room had some privacy curtains though..." "Oh that sounds nice! I used to be the self conscious type that snuck off to the bathroom stalls to change, I would have loved that," she says with a little laugh, stashing her clothes in the locker. "But like I said, this place really desensitizes you to being exposed." "I guess that makes sense," you say, <<if $fullness > 1>>struggling to pull your suit up over your bloated belly. Eventually you manage to get it past the bump, taking your shirt off once you've got it all the way on.

You turn to find her in her underwear, trying to grab her swimsuit back from a<<if $freshCoupleRel > 0>> still<</if>> topless Sarah that's holding it hostage.<<else>> You and Miranda turn back to the girls on the other side of the bench. One is a tall black girl with braided hair, stripped down to just her underwear. Her chest looks almost flat, but her hips are hard to look away from. The other girl is a short blonde wearing glasses, totally naked other than a green pair of panties and holding onto what must be the other girl's swimsuit.<</if>> "Nuh-uh! You're way too good at getting these things on Ali, it spoils all the fun~" <<if $metSarah>>Sarah<<else>>the other girl<</if>> says, fending off her attempts to reclaim it. "I wanna see you naked before you can start!" "You see me naked all the time babe, we gotta be a little more serious here," <<if $metAlesha>>Alesha<<else>>the first girl<</if>> sighs, though she's smiling. "I'm serious about how beautiful you are.~" "Ugh, can you guys not right now?" a<<if !$metSarah and !$metAlesha>> third<</if>> girl a few lockers down says, snapping the straps of her suit on dramatically as she finishes changing. She has dirty blonde hair and looks just a little bit chubby. "Get a room." "Fine, prude..." <<if $metSarah>>Sarah<<else>>the blonde girl<</if>> pouts. "Just a kiss then, and you can have it back." "You're too much sometimes, Sarah..." <<if $metAlesha>>Alesha<<else>>the black girl<</if>> says with a warm smile. She bends down and rests a hand on <<if $metSarah>>Sarah<<else>>the other girl<</if>>'s face, giving her a quick kiss, then ruffling her hair when she finally returns the swimsuit. And Sarah wasn't wrong--it's shocking how quickly she's able to slip into it once she's no longer being interrupted. She seems to notice you and Miranda watching. "Um, sorry about that, didn't mean to cause a scene. I'm Alesha, and this is Sarah." "Oh you've got nothing to worry about!" Miranda says with a giggle. "I'm Miranda, it's nice to meet you!"<<if $freshCoupleRel < 0>> "Oh... hello, $name," Alesha says, narrowing her eyes. Sarah cuts in before you can say anything in response.<<elseif !$metSarah and !$metAlesha>> "$name," you say with a wave.<</if>> "Alright, how do I look?" <<if $freshCoupleRel < 0>>she<<else>>Sarah<</if>> says, having finally put her suit on. She does a turn around then strikes a little pose. "It's really snug, I like it!" "Are you done over here yet Meghan?" a harsh voice calls from around the corner. A fit girl with short black hair walks into view. She gets a smug look on her face and leans back a little with her arms crossed. "Geez, and you got stuck with all the newbies. Can't wait to leave all of you in the dust," she says with a laugh. Miranda clears her throat. "Yeah, I saw you Miranda," the girl sneers. "I see you haven't changed at all since last year, Joan," Miranda sighs. "I've only gotten better!" she sneers, snapping her fingers. "Bet you're still part of the loser squad with Kim, huh?" "Me and Kim are the only reason you made it past week one," Miranda grumbles. Joan just rolls her eyes. "Alright, take it easy Jo," the other girl from before, who you assume is Meghan, says with a laugh. "You don't want eating you to be the first break in little miss perfect's nice streak." "Yeah, yeah, like she could keep me down," Joan sneers, starting to walk off with Meghan. "Good luck out there chumps, you'll need it!" "Sorry about that, don't let Joan drag you down too much," Miranda says with a sigh. "She's only a sophomore but was one of the top swimmers on the team last year, and I think it went to her head.

The captains wasted no time getting started apparently, as there's already someone getting ready to go when you enter. Calina and Marie are standing at the far side of the pool giving her instructions, while Professor Steria sits a little ways away acting as the lifeguard. Everyone else is gathered in a disorganized group on the near side of the pool, some sitting, some standing. You join in on the right side<<if $freshCoupleRel < 0>>, making sure to distance yourself from Sarah and Alesha<<else>> with the others from the locker room.<</if>> You have no clue who the girl that's going first is, but she's doing a pretty good job.

Shortly after the third person gets called up, someone new eagerly joins you at the sideline, evidently running late. "Hey hey! My name's Lily, nice to meet you!" the girl beams, coming right up to you. She's a little taller than you, with green eyes and brown hair tied into pigtails. It looks like it's wet already. "Super glad I made it, got swallowed on the way over here, it was a mess! But now I'm ready to go! What's your name?" "Uh, $name, hey," you reply, a little offput by her demeanor. "That's a nice name! I bet we're gonna be good friends," she says with a smile. "Haha I'm pumped! It feels good to be on a team, I can't wait to show off what I've got!" "You an experienced swimmer?" you ask. "No, I've never done competitive swimming before! I've never had easy access to a pool before either!" she says. "But I'm confident I can do at least okay!" "Well, good luck!" you say. Lily continues chatting your ear off as you watch everyone swim their laps. Miranda does very well on everything other than her freestyle, but is quickly shown up by Joan who seems to really impress in every category. And she isn't afraid to immediately flaunt this when she returns to the group, especially over Miranda. Sarah takes it very easy on her turn, not completely awful but clearly just enjoying herself and not giving it her all, much to the captains' irritation. Alesha on the other hand gives an extremely strong performance, rivaling the upperclassmen members in speed and form other than a pretty weak backstroke. Then comes Lily's turn. She eagerly rushes up to get started, even attempting to get chatty with the two captains before they snap at her to get on with it. And then... she absolutely flounders. You can't help feeling bad for her as she goes. She's clearly giving it her all, but she's so uncoordinated that some of the other team members can't help chuckling as they watch. Calina almost looks disgusted when it's finally over and she sends her back. Your name gets called next. You give Lily a sympathetic look as you pass her on your way to the front of the pool, but she's still all smiles despite the outcome. "Alright, $name. You should know the drill by now--just start in the water for this, give us a butterfly, then back, then breast, then freestyle," Calina says. "Show us what you can do," Marie says. "And please be better than that..." You nod and slide yourself down into the water. It's very cold when you first get in, enough to make you tense up, but you quickly adjust to being in the pool. You doubt the captains have much patience, so you immediately take a deep breath and prepare to kick off.

It isn't very graceful, but this time as you crash back down into the water you find yourself moving at a decent pace.

I guess I'll see you back at the dorm," Meghan replies, followed by the subtle sound of footsteps walking away. "Now then..." Joan says, pressing a hand against you.

You can hear her stomach roaring just ahead of you as your face is pressed against the sphincter keeping it at bay. The walls relax a little just before you actually begin to push through. "Did you enjoy the ride, newbie? Just think, soon you'll be part of a real swimmer, and you'll finally be worth something!" she laughs. "...fuck, Meg was right..." she mutters after a brief pause. "Whatever. I've wasted enough time on trash like you, get in here and digest." The intense pressure returns, and it only takes a single push for your head to be forced forward into her churning stomach. The rest of you follows shortly after, going slow enough to leave you completely submerged in acid for a worrying amount of time. You gasp for breath above the surface as the last of you slides in from her intestines, getting deposited in the roomier, but much more aggressive chamber. Groans and gurgles echo around you as the walls eagerly writhe and grind against you. "//Mmph//, there..." Joan says, panting a little. She gives her belly a firm smack, jostling the acid around you. "I've got dinner, that smug little new recruit is dealt with... I think it's finally time for that shower." You feel her rise to her feet and start walking somewhere.

<<if $joanSwim1Bully is 1>>Refusing to submit to the disgusting fate ahead of you<<if $analByMatilda or $analByOlivia>> again<</if>>, you do everything you can to free your head despite the tough position she has you in. You start to try and drag yourself forward with your feet, fighting against her grip to bring your hands into a position where you can push her off. Though your arms are trembling, you manage to get the slightest grip on her butt, and it's enough for you to start slowly pulling out of her. "How the hell..?" Joan grunts. You feel her try to push down, but your small success gives you the extra little burst of motivation you need and you push back harder. Putting everything you've got into a final shove, your head manages to slide the rest of the way out, accompanied by a pretty gross sound and a gasp from Joan. You're quick to try and scramble away from her, but you feel something grab the back of your swimsuit. "We're not done yet you--" "Hey, hey, easy there Jo!" Meghan says, laughing as she puts a hand on her shoulder. "Fair's fair, she got out. I think getting her head shoved up your ass is enough punishment, trying to put her back in again now would just be embarrassing." "Hmmph." Joan lets go of you, grumbling to herself. "Fine. Just remember newbie: stay in your lane next time, or we're finishing this," she growls, storming off to the other side of the lockers where she was getting changed. "What happened to that shower?" Meghan says, ignoring you to rejoin her. "There's a shower in the dorm, we're leaving!" You sit up and breathe a sigh of relief. Then you gag a little, your head feeling absolutely disgusting after that. Since Joan is gone, you decide to make a quick stop in the shower to rinse it off and wash your hair before resuming getting changed. Back to feeling mostly clean, you place your wet swimsuit back in the bag it came from and head out into the hall. Your stomach growls shortly after leaving the locker room--you should probably get to the dining hall before it closes. <<include "analEscapeEnd">>[[Head to dinner->September 4th- Dinner]]<<set $outfit to $lastOutfit>><<else>>Refusing to let her get away with this, you brace yourself against the walls wrapped around you, pushing your arms into the slick flesh as hard as you can. Then, you put all your strength into pushing back against the barrier keeping you inside. You can feel Joan trying to squeeze you and keep you in, but you keep pushing, and pushing, until--her anus gives way and you feel the cool air of the locker room on your feet. "F-Fuck, how are you... Get back--//*mmph*//!" Joan tries to protest, but you're too determined now that you've gotten a taste of freedom. You can feel her trying her best to clamp down on you and drag you back, but her concentration keeps getting broken by the sensation of your escape and your legs keep inching out despite her efforts. When your hips slide past the threshold of her body, she gasps and leans forward, making your job much easier. With a better position and your legs able to properly assist, it isn't long before you're able to wriggle your arms out, and as soon as you can bend your elbows it's over. Joan doesn't give up on pulling you back until the end. Planting your hands on her butt and bracing your legs, you push as hard as you can until, with an odd, wet sound, the rest of your body pulls free from hers. In your desperation you used so much force that you stumble backward and crash into the lockers once you're free. "You... little..." Joan says, leaning against the bench and panting. She turns to look at you, her cheeks flushed but an intense look in her eyes. Once she sees you, however, she grins and starts to laugh. "Haha, oh my god, you look so disgusting!" She wipes some sweat off her brow and stands back up straight. "You know what, enjoy your 'victory' if you wanna call it that--with you looking like that, I think I got my point across. And no way in hell am I putting something I shit out back in my body." She turns and starts to walk off back toward the locker she was changing at, giving you a sarcastic wave. "See you next week newbie! We'll do this again if you haven't learned your place.~" You stay sitting on the ground without giving her a response, panting with exhaustion. You shudder a little, feeling absolutely disgusting after that. The slamming of the locker room door tells you she's gone, at least. With a sigh, you get up and head over to the showers to try and get clean, peeling off your now-soiled swimsuit. Luckily, there's even soap available so after a while you're able to feel at least relatively clean. The same can't be said for your swimsuit, which is probably going to need an extra deep cleaning to get the scent out. It may be worth just asking Professor Steria for a new one. Once you're cleaned off, you head back out to the main locker area, sighing as you dry off and put your clothes back on. You make your way out into the hall, noticing that Calina and Marie are still in the pool area doing practice of their own, completely oblivious to what just happened to one of their members. You head down the hall and out of the building, deciding to skip out on dinner and head straight to your dorm. You can't bring yourself to have much of an appetite after that, plus you aren't even positive how late it is to know if the dining hall is open. <<include "analEscapeEnd">>[[Head back to your dorm->September 4th- Night]]<</if>><<set $outfit to $lastOutfit>><<set $outfitState to "normal">>

<<set $joanSwim1Bully to 4>><<Time 19.25>>"Seriously?" you sigh. The flesh around you immediately tightens and drags you a little further in. "Is that sass I hear?" she says. "Sounds like 'acid bath' talk to me." "...I'm a worthless piece of shit that could never measure up to Joan," you say, rolling your eyes within the darkness of her guts. "She's better than me in every way and I wish I could be her." "Hmm, what was that? Could you speak up?" she says, poking you. You can //hear// the shit-eating grin she has right now. "I said 'I'm a worthless piece of shit that could never measure up to Joan. She's better than me in every way and I wish I could be her.' Now get me out of here!" "A little louder please, I don't think Meghan could hear.~" "I'M A WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT THAT COULD NEVER MEASURE UP TO JOAN! SHE'S BETTER THAN ME IN EVERY WAY AND I WISH I COULD BE HER!" you shout, your words slurred a little from trying to talk so loud in such a cramped space. "Happy?" "There we go, doesn't it feel good to be honest?" Joan says with a laugh. "Alright then newbie, I'll let you out. In a while. I'm gonna take that shower first." "What!?" you growl, kicking out at her. She reminds you who's in charge by pulling you a little further in again. "You heard me! You should be grateful I'm letting you go at all, you're in no position to argue right now," she sneers. "In fact, give me a massage in there until I'm done if you really want out." "Damn, you're ruthless Joan," you hear Meghan say with a laugh. "I think I've stuck around long enough, I'm heading back to the dorm." You feel a hand lightly press on Joan's gut. "See ya next week $name!" You grumble to yourself as, reluctantly, you start to shift around a little to appease her request. Joan gives a satisfied sigh and runs a hand over her gut, then goes on the move. Sure enough, you soon hear water roaring out of a showerhead, the subtle pressure from the stream tapping against you through her belly. She chuckles to herself as she starts to run her hands along her body. "Maybe we should just do this after practice every week?" she says, giving her belly a squeeze. "Feels good, and this role really suits you." "Just hurry up and let me go..." you grumble. "Push a little harder for me, still plenty of shower left~" she says, clenching her muscles to slightly push you out, then pull you back in again as a taunt. You sigh, putting a little more effort into your "massage". After a while, the walls clamp down on you hard, the slimy flesh of her intestines grinding against your body. With slow, stuttered movement, you finally start to slide back out of her rancid depths and into the refreshing air of the shower. Just after your feet re-emerge, however, she stops, then pulls them back in. She laughs as you start to squirm in frustration. "Just wanted to give one last reminder of where you stand," she sneers. "Time to get out." This time she's serious, squatting down and pushing hard again. You're slowly squeezed back out of her body and out onto the cold tile of the bathroom floor. You cough and weakly sit up, having to adjust to the light of the room and feeling a little stiff from being cramped for so long. "You look disgusting, it's fitting," Joan chuckles. She leans in and smirks. "Remember this next practice, and stay in your fucking lane." With that, she walks off to finish getting changed. You slowly get back on your feet, deciding to just take off your now-soiled swimsuit and wash off since you're already in the shower. It'll also give Joan plenty of time to leave ahead of you. Luckily, there is even soap available so after a while you're able to feel at least relatively clean.

<<Time 19.25>><<set $joanSwim1Bully to 3>>With a roar of defiance, you muster all the strength you can into thrashing against the stomach walls. You refuse to let her get away with this, refuse to let your end be something so disgusting for such a petty reason. You did well at swim practice, so you deserve to get dragged all the way through someone's digestive system? You push all of your rage into your struggling. "Would you //*mmph*// quit it already?" Joan grumbles, grabbing her gut. "It's over, I'm //*hmmph*// trying to shower you... fucking freshman..." You're only encouraged by the obvious effect you're having, pushing harder as you kick and shove at the stomach walls. Soon you can feel them clamping in harder with an odd, stuttered pressure. Joan growls and tries to slam you against the wall in front of her, but it backfires. As soon as her gut starts to get squeezed against the surface, her stomach gives up and forces your head into her throat. She chokes and quickly stumbles back. She doesn't give much more resistance as you complete your tour of her insides and slide out through her mouth into the steamy locker room shower. "You... little..." Joan says, leaning over and coughing a little. There's an intense look in her eye at first, but once she gets a good look at you sprawled out across the ground she grins and starts to laugh. "Haha, oh my god, you look so disgusting!" She stands up straight and crosses her arms, naked and glistening from her shower. "You know what, enjoy your 'victory' if you wanna call it that--with you looking like that, I think I got my point across." She turns and starts to walk off toward the lockers, grabbing her towel and giving you a sarcastic wave. "See you next week newbie! We'll do this again if you haven't learned your place.~" With that, she walks off to finish getting changed. You slowly get back on your feet, deciding to just take off your now-soiled swimsuit, which your a little amazed is still intact, and wash off since you're already in the shower.

It's a quaint little place, not much different from other settlements you've been to in the vale. Dusty wooden buildings and bustling cobble streets, mostly occupied by humans from the looks of it. The whole place is framed by rolling green hills and rocky outcroppings. You <<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>slither along the stones, catching some odd looks as you search for the tavern you're supposed to meet in<<else>>walk along the stone path in search of the tavern you're supposed to meet in<</if>>. Along the way, you come across a house that's been utterly demolished, much of it torn down to the foundation. The roof has collapsed, looking like it caved in from above, and the support beams still visible in the rubble are bent and snapped like twigs. This must be a part of the problem you're here to deal with, though it seems excessive for simple bandits. They must have gotten their hands on seige weapons of some kind to make a point. Further down the road and around the corner, you arrive at what seems to be the right place. A large two floor building, better lit than most, just off the main plaza. A wood-burnt sign hangs above a weathered door that reads "The Mended Hammer" with a carving of a hammer and a tankard next to it. From the other side, you can hear the muffled sounds of chaotic conversation. Without further delay, you push the door open and <<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>move<<else>>step<</if>> inside. You enter into a wide open hall lit by the warm glow of torchlight and a roaring fireplace. A simple iron chandelier hangs from a high ceiling open to the rafters in some places, the walls adorned with banners and trophies. Tables are strewn about the room, most occupied by a menagerie of odd patrons--this is clearly a hotspot for adventurers passing through. In the middle of the hall is the bar, a large warhammer hanging on display right above it. You make your way over, passing by a table where an elf sporting a squirming belly is playing cards with a nervous looking human. From the little bit of their conversation you overhear, it sounds like she bet her partner as a meal and lost, and is now gambling to get them back. "Welcome stranger! Sarrin Sevanna, at your service. Can I get you anything?" the sharply dressed woman behind the counter says, cleaning a glass. You look her over with a curious eye. She's clearly a mixed blood of some kind, but you can't quite place exactly what. Elven ears, angular face, and clever looking eyes, but her skin is tinted blue and she has small patches of white feathers around her neck and arms that you initially thought were part of her outfit.<<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">> "You're one to be giving strange looks, miss--Naga aren't exactly a common sight in these parts." "Ah, forgive me," you say. "I haven't encountered a woman like you before." "I get that a lot," she answers with a wink. "That an angel's eye sigil you're wearing? Suppose I can trust you aren't here to cause trouble then. Just passing through?" "I'm here for a bounty call, actually," you say, pulling out the flyer. "I'm supposed to be meeting an 'Albina'. Don't suppose you know who that is?" "Ah, yes, that makes sense. Albina isn't here yet, but you're looking for that table over there," she replies, pointing to a table in the corner with three women at it. "They're here on the same bounty."<<else>><<if $dungeonCharacter is "human">> "Armored up like that, I'm guessing you aren't here for a drink." <<else>> <</if>>"I'm here for a bounty call," you say, pulling out the flyer.

Albina isn't here yet, but you're looking for that table over there," she replies, pointing to a table in the corner with three women at it. "They're here on the same bounty."<</if>> "Thank you," you say, stowing the flyer again and making your way over to the group. All three stop and look over at you as you approach--two humans and a beastkin girl with cat ears, all seeming to be mages of some kind. On the far side of the table is an intense looking woman with tan skin, purple eyes, and a shaved head, resting her elbows on the table with her hands folded in front of her mouth. She's wearing a heavy purple robe. Next to her is a nervous mage with long blonde hair, wearing cyan robes and a matching wide-brimmed hat. Finally, closest to you is the catgirl, who's shorter than you would have expected. She has black hair and grey, speckled ears. She's the only one smiling. "Are you here on Albina's bounty too?" the girl in purple asks in a dry voice. "How many ads did that woman put out just to deal with some bandits...<<if $dungeonCharacter is "elf">> And another mage too...<</if>>" "Indeed, I'm $dungeonName $dungeonLast, pleasure to meet you," you say, <<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>carefully sitting back in the nearest chair and wrapping your tail around its legs<<elseif $dungeonCharacter is "human">>your armor clanking as you take a seat at the table<<else>>taking a seat at the table<</if>>. <<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>"Ooo I've never seen a naga in person before!

My name's Lira, it's great to meet you!" the catgirl says, giddy with excitement. "I specialize in healing magic, I'm here to help!"<</if>> The blonde girl takes a deep breath and suddenly gets a much more confident look on her face. "And I'm Bellona Sheerwind! Master of summoning magic and commander of powerful spirits!" She holds out one hand dramatically. "Supposedly," the girl in purple mutters. "Meratu, call me Meru. That's all you need to know."<<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">> She looks you over with a judging eye. "You're a cleric of some kind, right? What can you do? The only naga I have experience with were in Concordat regalia." "I would never associate with those heathens," you reply. "I am a follower of the true goddess Aravena, I channel her will and offer her blessings." You catch her rolling her eyes at you.<<elseif $dungeonCharacter is "elf">> She looks you over with a judging eye. "You're clearly a mage of some kind, what do you specialize in?" "I don't limit myself to specific disciplines like that, all magic has it's uses," you reply. She gives a slight nod of approval.<</if>> The conversation pauses as the group notices that another member seems to be on the way. Sarrin is pointing a heavily armored woman with long red hair who's holding a familiar looking flyer in your direction. Her footsteps are heavy as she makes her way over to the table. She immediately pulls out a chair and drops herself into it with a big grin. "Hail! I am Eriah Fenhart, paladin of Meliara. I hear we are to be comrades in arms." "So it would seem, though this is starting to feel excessive for a simple bandit camp..." Meru mutters. "I heard there was potential cult activity, that's what drew me here," Eriah says. Meru narrows her eyes. "Interesting that that wasn't included in the bounty I saw..." Your attention is again torn away by the crash of someone kicking the door open. "Hey! I'm looking for Albina, any of you lot her?" an oddly light voice shouts. You're a little surprised when you see the source--it's a sprite half your size hovering in the doorway. She has pink and blue butterfly wings fluttering on her back, and short hair of a lighter pink color. Her tan skin is decorated with a few strange blue markings, much of it visible thanks to her very light armor. Sarrin at the bar calmly points her toward your table and she floats over, dragging a battleaxe bigger than she is dangerously close to the heads of other patrons on her way. "Name's Beade, who the hell are you? None of ya look like 'Albina's to me," the girl says, sitting on the back of an open chair and slamming her axe on the ground. "No, we're all waiting for her too," Meru sighs. "Same bounty I assume, bandits outside Steadwick?" "That's the one, seemed easy pickings to me." "Oh my gosh you're adorable!" Lira gasps, wonder in her eyes as she looks at the sprite. "So many interesting new friends, this is great!" "Hey, watch it furball!" Beade shouts, clenching her fists. "I could take your head off at half this size!" "Eh, heh, uh, sorry!" Lira says, putting her hands up defensively. "I didn't mean to be rude!" The same song and dance repeats as two more adventurers chasing the same bounty arrive at nearly the same time to join the table. One is a<<if $dungeonCharacter is "elf">>nother<<else>>n<</if>> elf with long blonde hair, green leather armor, and a bow on her back. She goes by Eris and seems a little clumsy. The other is a<<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>nother<</if>> naga that calls herself Shiva. She's got black scales, pale skin, and plate armor made of dark metal, two swords sheathed at her side. She seems pretty aggressive. "Oh thank god no one is a rogue or bard..." Morgan says with a sigh of relief. "Well, we haven't met Kamile's character yet," Candice points out. "We'll get there," Morgan says with a grin. "Sorry, sorry, back in character." "We're gonna be waiting like this, I'm gettin' something to drink," Beade grumbles. "Hey barkeep!" Sarrin glances over, nods, then in turn shouts: "Meti!" On the other side of the room, a harpy barmaid suddenly jumps up and flutters over to the bar, nearly knocking over another patron's drink in the process. Sarrin redirects her to your table and she scurries over. "Yes, yes! Meti is here!" she beams, giving a little salute. She has golden brown wings with slight blue accents and darker brown hair. A few freckles dot her cheeks. "What do you need please?" "Aye, get me an ale, bird," Beade says. "Put it on Albina's tab." "Will do, bug!" Meti replies with an innocent smile, fluttering off towards the bar. Beade starts to look angry, but bursts into laughter instead. "Haha, guess that's fair!" "It's barely mid day and we're going to be raiding a bandit camp shortly," Meru says dryly, giving the sprite a dirty look. "Your point?" Beade replies. Meti returns with her tankard of ale shortly after and Beade immediately takes a heavy swig. It looks comically large in her hands. "You know what, I think I'm done with this circus," Meru grumbles, standing up from her seat. Just as she gets up, the door to the tavern opens again and a well dressed woman enters. "Ah, Albina. You have quite the strange crowd waiting for you," Sarrin says as the woman approaches the bar, directing her to your table. "Greetings, sorry to keep you all waiting. I am Albina Derevan, attendent to her Lady Guinevere," the woman says, giving a slight bow. She's a thin, wiry woman with short, flat black hair. "I had to address one more recruit that I was worried might... frighten the townsfolk if she met here with the rest of you. She'll be joining you when you set off. You are all here to deal with our bandit problem, correct?" "Yes, and I have concerns," Meru says, narrowing her eyes at the woman. "Going on what you just said, you've hired //nine// capable mercenaries to clear a single bandit camp. And now I've been hearing that these aren't bandits at all, but a cult. What aren't you telling us?" "Ah, apologies for the lack of clarity. Allow me to explain the situation," Albina says, clearing her throat. "For the past few weeks, Steadwick has been plagued by raids from a group of armed thugs. They pillage and rob our homes, making off with anything valuable they can and hurting innocent people. Now, they demand excessive tribute to stave off additional raids, far more than is sustainable." "At first we were afraid this was a sign warlords were on the rise again, but, although they are well organized, something else appears to be the case. We suspect that the group is, in fact, a cult, as you seem to have found out. They rave often about a, surely false, goddess that we have no record of. I merely felt 'bandit' was a more apt description of their behavior, my apologies again," she explains, giving another short bow. "As for your other inquiry, nine of you is perhaps excessive, but we wish to be entirely certain the issue is dealt with in a single blow. We can't risk retaliation if a group of hired mercenaries fails, you see." "Makes sense to me, don't really care s'long as ya pay up," Beade says, slamming her now-empty tankard down. "You're smart to be over cautious, even small cults can quickly become disastrous problems if left unchecked," Eriah says. "Best to snuff them out early." "Indeed, which is why I would prefer to handle this as soon as possible. If you're all prepared, I mean today. We know where their hideout is--we've spotted them coming in and out of some ruins in the forest to the north," Albina says. "I can guide you there, and acquaint you with your final companion in this endeavor, if you're ready." Shiva immediately pulls away from the table and starts to slither towards the door. "Let's go then, my blades are itching." Meru hesitates for a moment, studying Albina, but otherwise no objections are raised. The party all rise from the table, following Albina back out onto the village streets. [[Continue on to the woods->Dungeon 1- Village Outskirts]]

<<Time 17.25>>The group follows Albina out past the edge of the village, following a trail into a forest to the north. You don't see anyone else waiting for you like Albina promised. They must be further past the treeline. <<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">><<if $leahRel > 0>>As you make your way along the trail, you find yourself next to Eriah, who seems eager to talk. "You know, I don't believe I've ever met a naga before," she says, her armor clattering as she walks alongside you. "And what an honor for my first to be a devout priestess! Who is it you follow, if you don't mind my asking?" "I am a daughter of the true goddess Aravena," you reply. "Many have thought her dead or gone since the cataclysm, so sadly I cannot fault even a holy woman such as yourself for not recognizing her sigil." "Fascinating! I have only ever heard scarce murmurs of Aravena as a being and not simply the earth we walk on, I would be interested to learn more from you when we return from our mission," she says. "Myself, I mantle Meliara, goddess of Spring and the wilds." "A noble patron to take," you reply. You nod at Beade. "I'm sure our sprite companion is pleased by your devotion." "Ha, I have my doubts that one knows even a taste of her people's culture, with the way she acts," Eriah laughs. "But I like her spirit."<<else>>As you make your way along the trail, you find yourself approached by Shiva. "I didn't expect to see another naga here," she says, moving alongside you. "Where did you come from?" "I travel around a lot. But the place I originally hail from is a settlement far to the west--my family was the only of our kind that lived there," you reply, looking her over. "What about you? I am, sadly, also a little surprised to find another naga outside The Concordat." "The highlands to the north, you must really be an outsider if you don't recognize my clan crest," she says. She smirks. "Not that I'm surprised to find out a dainty priestess like yourself has never set foot in my homeland. Just be sure to stay out of my way during this." "Would a naga use the expression 'set foot'?" you ask. "Shut up," Nikki says, rolling her eyes at you.<</if>><<elseif $dungeonCharacter is "elf">><<if $leahRel > 0>>As you make your way along the trail, you find yourself next to Eriah, who seems eager to talk. "Hello there! I don't believe we were properly acquainted back there," she says. "You're a mage, right? What do you study?" "I don't see the need to specialize, I prefer to dabble in all of the arcane arts," you reply. "I left the mage guild in Irhanor because I found it too restrictive." "Ah, you're from Irhanor? I've always wanted to visit there someday, I hear it's one of the most impressive cities of the modern age," Eriah says. "I would love to hear more about it when we return from our mission, if you would be willing." "I imagine it is quite grand to someone who's only seen these smaller settlements," you say. You give her a sly grin. "Perhaps."<<else>>As you make your way along the trail, you find yourself approached by Eris. "Um, hello! Sorry if--oh, I'm Eris by the way, if you forgot, but, uh," she says, seeming nervous. She stumbles slightly, tripping over a twig. "Do I know you from somewhere? Sorry if that's rude." "I can't say a recognize you, but I am from Irhanor. Don't suppose you're also from the city?" you reply. "Oh, yes I am! That must be it, I used to be a messenger for the mage guild, I probably saw you there," she says. "This is, uh, my first time accepting work from an outside settlement actually." "Ah. I left to travel on my own over a year ago now," you say. "I found the guild too restrictive." "Y-Yeah! I'm, uh, definitely out here for similar reasons," she replies with a nervous laugh.<</if>><<else>><<if !$leahDitched>>As you make your way along the trail, you find yourself next to Eriah<<if $leahRel > 0>>, who seems eager to talk<</if>>. "Hello there! I don't believe we were properly acquainted back there," she says. "I'm glad to find myself in the company of another proper warrior." "Ha! I don't have so noble a cause as you I'm afraid, paladin. I'm merely a wandering mercenary," you reply. "Anyone who raises a sword and shield for another can be honorable, It doesn't have to be in service of the divine. Doing work like this out here, I'm sure you've helped many," she says with a smile. "I'm eager to see what you can do on the battlefield." "Likewise," you say, matching her grin.<</if>><</if>> As you move deeper into the woods, you feel a slight rumble in the ground below you. Going on alert and paying a little closer attention, you hear the sound of a stick snapping nearby. Then you catch some slight movement out of the corner of your eye--something big. <<link "Go on the offensive">><<replace "#choice">><<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>"There's something watching us!" you call out, pointing your staff to the woods. Eriah and Shiva immediately draw their weapons, and Eris fumbles around trying to get her bow off her back. "Show yourself monster, face the goddess' judgement!"<<elseif $dungeonCharacter is "elf">>You turn and point your staff towards the direction of the disturbance, firing off a magic arrow as a warning shot. "Who's out there? Show yourself!" you command.<<else>>You turn towards the source of the disturbance and draw your sword, assuming a combat stance. "Who's out there? Show yourself!" you command.<</if>> "Ah, w-wait!" a voice that's somehow booming and soft at the same time calls back. "Don't attack!" Out from behind a dense cluster of trees steps a massive dark elf woman--pitch black skin, long white hair, and standing at least ten feet tall. She's wearing pretty plain looking clothes and nervously clutching a staff the size of a tree trunk, one hand held up in surrender. "Yes, yes, please settle down!" Albina shouts, rushing out between you and the newcomer. "This is your final companion that I mentioned..." "H-Hello everyone, my name is Nala," the girl says. "I'm a half-giant." "Oh, uh, my apologies," you say sheepishly. "I'm $dungeonName." "Nothing to worry about, I understand I can be startling..." she says with a little laugh, rubbing her neck. "I had asked her to wait in a clearing up ahead to avoid this kind of misunderstanding... But no matter, you're all together now! It's merely a few paces more, let's continue this there," Albina says. He leads you out into a more open area. There's a pond with a tiny stream feeding into it. Once they're out in the clearing, everyone is more properly acquainted with Nala.<</replace>><<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">><</link>> <<link "It's probably nothing">><<replace "#choice">>You decide to shake off your concern. It's likely just an animal, maybe a bear that got scared off by the group's approach. "Here we are," Albina says as you arrive at a small clearing in the woods. There's a pond with a tiny stream feeding into it. "She should be here..." You hear some shuffling behind you, accompanied by dull thumping sounds. Remembering the strange noises from before, you turn to give it your full attention this time. You weren't quite expecting what you find. "H-Hello everyone!" a woman's voice booms, though it's oddly soft for the size of the speaker. Stepping out from the treeline is a giant dark elf girl--pitch black skin, long white hair, and standing at least ten feet tall. She's wearing pretty plain looking clothes and nervously clutching a staff the size of a tree trunk. "Ah, there she is!" Albina says. "I hope you now understand my reasoning for giving her special treatment." "Sorry, you were taking a while, so I went to see if something was wrong, but then I saw you coming through the woods and didn't want to startle anyone so I had to... very slowly, make my way back here," she explains, laughing and rubbing her neck. She comes a little closer and crouches down so she isn't towering over everyone so drastically, then waves. "My name is Nala, I'm a half-giant."<</replace>><<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">><</link>> "Haha! Now you ninnies know how I feel gettin' looked down on all the time!" Beade, who doesn't even reach the new girl's knee when she's standing, says with a laugh. She flutters up to the side of Nala's head with an excited grin. "You're real big. I like your hair." "Oh, th-thanks," Nala says, looking flustered as she watches the tiny girl hovering around her. "You could have sent a powerhouse like that in alone and been done with this," Meru says, eying Albina. "Oh, no, I don't fight!" Nala says. "I'm here to support you, I'm very experienced with healing magic." "And that would be why I didn't, my paranoid friend," Albina says, giving Meru a slight nod. "Well then, now that you're all together, this is where I take my leave. If you just follow the creek over there, you'll find the ruins I referred to earlier--an old stone fort built into a hill. That's where we assume their hideout to be, and no signs of activity yet today so they should be holed up there. Once you've dealt with them, or if something goes wrong, come report back to me in Steadwick, I'll be hanging around The Mended Hammer." With that, she's off, leaving the nine of you to your work. After a brief discussion, you all decide to scope out the ruins before coming up with a plan of action. Shiva and Beade both suggested simply charging in blindly, each claiming they could handle it alone so for a group this size it would be childs play, but Meru convinced everyone to remain cautious. You follow the creek like Albina said, arriving at what must be the encampment before long. From the cover of the forest, you study the area. It's a crumbling stone fort built into the side of a hill, recently fortified using some wooden struts. A boxy brick structure juts out from the hillside, a caved in wall with a red curtain draped over it seeming to serve as the main entrance. There's a single guard just outside of it that doesn't seem to be on particularly high alert. Above that section of the building, there's a proper door built directly into the hill that opens up onto the roof, where a second guard sits. There's also a tower on the right side that seems to be unoccupied, and you notice the curious detail of a short wooden bridge stretching out towards nothing from the top of it. The group falls back a short ways to discuss, returning to where they had Nala wait to avoid being detected. "They seem to be lax on their lookouts, we should find a way to quietly take out those guards and maintain the element of surprise," Meru suggests. "To hell with that! You saw what we're dealing with--they really are just common bandits," Shiva grunts. She gets a wicked smile on her face. "Let's just rush in and tear them to pieces, we can be done in just a few minutes!" "Yeah! Let's smash it up!" Beade says in eager agreement. "Well we're all very capable, of course," Bellona chimes in, "but I think we should still be cautious here. Better safe than sorry." "Yes, it's better to minimize the risk of harm, once you've lost the element of surprise you can't get it back," Nala says. "In fact, do you even need to kill the bandits? The bounty didn't specify, we could simply subdue them and turn them in to the town guard." "The job is to 'take them out'," Shiva sneers. "I plan on eating as many as I can." The debate on which approach to take quickly spirals from here, everyone bickering and making no progress convincing the other side. Beade, Shiva, Lira, and Eriah support charging in headstrong, while Meru, Nala, Bellona, and Eris feel a more strategic approach would be better. If majority rules, it would seem the decision has fallen to you... [[Rush in->Dungeon 1- Rush In]] [[Be more strategic->Dungeon 1- Cautious Approach]]

<<Time 17.5>>"I think it makes more sense to just charge in," you say. "They aren't expecting an attack and we clearly have the power to overwhelm them, I don't think it matters if they're alerted before we enter the building or not. We can handle this swiftly." "You're all idiots! We don't know the environment, we don't know our enemy, and Albina was clearly withholding something about this--you need to approach these things with strategy!" Meru shouts. <<if $dungeonCharacter is "elf">>She glares in your direction. "I would have expected any self-respecting mage to know that." "Well at least one of you book-heads has some common sense," Shiva laughs. "That makes five against four, it's time to stop sitting around talking and take care of this!"<<else>> "We know enough, you just want to sit around here acting paranoid forever," Shiva grumbles. "$dungeonName makes five against four, it's time to stop sitting around talking and take care of this!"<</if>> "Fine! You can all take the lead then, I'll cover the rear for when this inevitably goes wrong," Meru snaps. "Fine by me! Come on sprite, I need you to get the one on the roof," Shiva says, taking off toward the fort on her own. Beade laughs and flutters off with her. "I'll just hang back and save my summons for if you guys are in trouble..." Bellona says. "Don't worry, we'll have this handled easily!" Eriah says, drawing her sword and following after the two headstrong warriors. <<if $playerCharacter is "naga">>"Come on $dungeonName, they're gonna need us!" Lira says with a laugh, running off after them.<<else>>"Come on $dungeonName, let's get out there!" Lira says with a laugh, running off after them.<</if>> You follow her lead and make your way through the woods towards the fort, accompanied by Eris. Meru, Nala, and Bellona trail behind. When it comes into view, you find that Shiva and Beade are already out in the clearing charging forward, Lira and Eriah coming up behind them with a bit more tactical approach. The guard at the front gate is already shouting for assistance, readying a spear at Shiva. While Eris stops at the treeline and draws her bow, you push forward to join the others. "The hell is a naga doing out here?" the woman at the gate shouts. She thrusts her spear at Shiva. "Doesn't matter, you're all dead meat!" The tip of her weapon grazes Shiva's arm as she dodges, and she brings one of her swords down to cut clean through the shaft of the spear. She grabs the guard with her other hand and starts to coil her tail around her legs. "Big talk for such a waste of blood," she hisses, licking her lips. "H-Hey no! Somebody help me!" the woman shouts. She desperately tries to grab for her broken weapon as Shiva opens her jaws wide and swallows her head. The bandit quickly disappears down her throat, hoisted up into the air by her tail and dropped down her gullet. Her gut briefly bulges out with the squirming form of her prey, but the bump quickly shifts down into her tail. She lets out a taunting belch, resting a hand on her mildly distended tail. "I told you this would be nothing!" "Woah, that was awesome!" Lira cheers, pausing in the clearing with you and Eriah. "I always heard naga were expert predators, so glad I get to see one in action!" "That was just a lucky roll, this was still a bad idea," Erika pouts. "Hey, please keep all criticism in-character," Morgan chides. "Hey, heads up down there ya ninnies!" you hear Beade shout from the roof, followed by the loud crash of her axe striking a shield. "They got backup up here!" You look up just in time to spot the gleam of an arrow, not having a chance to avoid it as it flies toward you. You grimace as it strikes your shoulder and impales itself in your flesh<<if $dungeonCharacter is "human">>, managing to perfectly find a chink in your armor<</if>>. Two archers have appeared on the roof, already readying another volley towards your group as Beade tangles with the original guard behind them. <<if $dungeonCharacter is "elf">>You raise your staff and conjure a magical barrier to protect the three of you, just in time to block two more arrows.<<else>>Eriah raises her shield and plants herself in the line of fire.<</if>> "$dungeonName! Hang on, I got you!" Lira says, jumping to your side. Golden light fills her hand as she readies a healing spell, yanking out the arrow and quickly mending the hole. It isn't a perfect fix, but more than enough to keep you in fighting shape. "There, all better!"<<set $dungeonHealth.current -= random(8,12)>> <<if $dungeonCharacter is "elf">>"Thanks... now to return the favor," you grumble, glaring up at the archers. You ready your staff as two more arrows fly your way. They bounce off your barrier, breaking it, but the instant it falls you launch a roaring ball of fire at the archer on the left. It explodes on contact, crumbling part of the buildings roof and knocking the bandit back, engulfed in flames. They don't get back up. "Haha, now that's what I'm talking about!" Beade cackles from up on the roof, kicking the guard she's been fighting into the second archer. They both stumble, and before regaining their footing a wide swing from Beade's axe sends them both tumbling over the edge onto the ground, where they go still.<<else>>"Thanks," you say<<if $dungeonCharacter is "human">>, raising your own shield to block an arrow heading for Lira<</if>>. "Eris, we could use some cover!" The instant you finish your call for aid, an arrow with a peculiar trail of yellow light behind it whistles past from the woods. It strikes a bullseye right in the center of the left archer's throat, nearly going all the way through. They fall over and don't get back up. "Watch out below!" Beade shouts, kicking the guard she's been fighting into the second archer. They both stumble, and before regaining their footing a wide swing from Beade's axe sends them both tumbling over the edge onto the ground, where they go still.<</if>> "And that wimpy mage thought this would be--" Shiva starts to say, turned to face the rest of the group. She's interrupted as three snarling wolves race out from the front gate, one of them lunging directly at her while she has her back turned. Before it can reach her, however, a shard of ice slams into it and knocks it aside, the spell stemming from Meru's hand. "At least stay on your guard if you're going to be this reckless," she says. Shiva finishes the wolf off, not responding to the chiding. The other two race out towards you, Eriah, and Lira. <<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>Eriah moves to engage, and you slither behind her, raising your staff in the air. "Goddess' blessing upon you!" you shout, a flash of light sparking from your staff. A very faint halo of golden feathers appears around Eriah's head as she bashes one of the wolves aside with her shield. With your boost to her strength, she makes short work of the two beasts.<<elseif $dungeonCharacter is "elf">>You step back as Eriah moves to engage, cautious of how much mana you're using. She bashes one aside with her shield, bringing her blade down on the other. An arrow with a strange trail of yellow light whistles out from the woods where Eris is, perfectly lodging itself in the head of the wolf that was knocked aside. Eriah makes short work of the remaining beast.<<else>>You and Eriah both move to engage, holding your shields up to block their advance. When the wolf pounces at you, you knock it aside with the front of your shield, then follow up with a swing from your sword. It backs up and circles around, growling, then lunges in again. You thrust your sword out as it jumps at you, skewering the beast. Eriah makes similarly short work of her target.<</if>> With the immediate danger handled, the party reconvenes in the middle of the clearing. Nala heals some of the wounds Beade received from her fight on the roof. Meru doesn't seem happy. "We can't afford to wait and plan anymore, they're on high alert. We need to get in there now," she grumbles. "Nala, Eris--you two stay out here and keep watch in case any of them try to escape, or any reinforcements arrive." "You don't have to tell me twice," Shiva says with a grin, racing off alone towards the gate. <<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>[[Follow her into the fort->Dungeon 1- Fort Battle(Naga)]]<<else>>[[Follow her into the fort->Dungeon 1- Fort Battle]]<</if>>

<<Time 17.5>>"Meru is right, we can't act cocky just because it seems easy," you say. "We don't know much of anything about the inside of the fort; its layout or what all is waiting for us. Better to give ourselves every advantage we can." "Thank you!" an exhasperated Meru says. "<<if $dungeonCharacter is "elf">>I knew you'd be smart about this. <</if>>We need a plan of action." "Ugh, you're all just wasting time!" Shiva hisses. "Fine, get on with it so we can get to the killing." "Alright, so we know there are only two guards outside--one on the roof, one at the door. Should be fairly easy to handle, but we need to take them out at the same time, or kill one without the other noticing if we want to avoid any alarm getting raised..." Meru says, placing a hand on her chin. "We don't even really know what each other are capable of yet. Bellona, you claim to be a master: What can you summon?" "Oh, um... All of the beasts I can conjure are very powerful! But, uh, it takes a lot out of me, so I should save it for a more dire battle," Bellona says, striking a confident pose but clearly sweating a little. "Also all of my spells are very flashy, probably not a good idea for our sneaky approach..." "Hmm, that's a fair point, I don't particularly have any magic that wouldn't draw a lot of attention either..." Meru mutters. <<if $dungeonCharacter is "elf">>"$dungeonName, what about you?" "Nope--magic arrow and fireball are the only offensive spells I'm experienced with. Not exactly subtle," you reply. "Understood... <<else>>"<</if>>Eris, you're a ranger. How confident are you you could take one out with your bow?" "I can guarantee it with a single shot!" she says proudly. "But, um, to do that I'd be using a magically enhanced sureshot... which leaves a sparkling trail as it flies..." "That's still good, we just need to figure out how to get someone in range to take the other out as you fire your shot." "I can get the one on the roof," Beade says. "The fact you can fly is definitely useful, but can you be even remotely stealthy?" "Ha, no!" Beade says proudly. "I have bright pink wings." "That's what I thought, although..."<<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">> "You know, I know a blessing of silence," you cut in. "That could improve Beade's odds of being able to get in close unnoticed." "She's still an easily spottable eyesore. Better idea," Shiva says. "Use it on me. I can easily handle the guard on the ground before they get a word out if I can get in close." "That could work actually," Meru says, nodding. "Eris, could you get a shot off on the one above?" "The angle might be difficult to manage from the ground..." she replies. "Oh, I could lift you up into a tree, if you can balance well enough," Nala says. "I could totally do that!" "Well, there's the plan then," Meru says with a slight grin. "$dungeonName, you muffle Shiva so she can sneak up on the lower guard, while Nala helps Eris into position. When Shiva is in close, Eris fires her shot, and they both go down together. Then we all regroup and prepare to infiltrate." "Finally, now let's get going," Shiva says. "Come on, sister, let's get going," she adds, looking at you. She takes off down the trail and you follow. On the outskirts of the clearing, you both stop. You hold out your staff toward her, covering the head with your free hand, and whisper the blessing of silence. A brief, faint blue light sparks from the head of your staff, and a subtle grey sheen manifests all along Shiva's skin and scales. She looks at her hand curiously, then hits one of the plates on her armor. It doesn't make a sound. She grins, nods, then slithers off into the woods to get into position. You rejoin the others to lie in wait. Before long, Shiva comes into view, hiding just behind the corner of the fortress wall near the guard. She signals that she's ready, and after just a moment Eris looses her arrow from her position in the treetops. A trail of yellow light sparks behind it as it flies, striking right at the center of the upper guard's throat--she immediately slumps onto the ground. The lower guard clearly notices the attack, but Shiva reaches her before she can react in any way. Curiously, the naga doesn't have her weapons drawn, but it quickly becomes clear what her plan is. With the element of surprise on her hands, she opens her jaws wide and swallows the guard's head from behind, easily wrestling the spear she was holding away from her. She desperately tries to push her away as her tail coils around her legs. The bandit quickly disappears down her throat, hoisted up into the air by her tail and dropped down her gullet. Her gut briefly bulges out with the squirming form of her prey, but the bump quickly shifts down into her tail. She gives the wriggling form a satisfied pat, then slithers out into the middle of the clearing. With both guards down, everyone else emerges from the woods to join her.<<else>> Meru says. "You might be easy to notice, but you're fast and hit hard, right?" "You know it, egghead," Beade says with a grin. "Then here's the plan, I think. Since you can fly, you make your way around and get on top of the hill behind them. Once you're in position, Eris will fire her shot at the lower guard, then you drop down on the upper guard to take them out as quickly as possible," Meru says. "Not an ideal plan, but it might be the best we can hope for with what's at our disposal." "Sounds fine to me!" Beade says, gripping her axe tight. "Remember, when you attack--quick and quiet is the goal, taking them out in a single blow is ideal." "Don't get your robes in a twist, I got it." "Finally, can we go now?" Shiva grumbles. "So we can get to the part where //I// get some action?" "Yes, we'll all hang back a little and regroup when the guards are down to prepare to infiltrate," Meru says. "Beade, make sure you take a wide route around to the back to avoid being spotted." "Yep, yep, see ya on the battlefield," she replies, fluttering off into the woods. While she leaves, everyone else heads back to the outskirts of the clearing where the fort is. Eris very carefully gets into position while everyone else hangs back, stepping on a twig in the process and almost managing to get the guards attention. Luckily, she shrugs the sound off. After waiting just long enough to begin to worry, you spot the glint of Beade's armor and her bright wings on the hilltop. After a moment to be sure she's ready, Eris pulls back her bow and fires. An arrow with a trail of yellow light whistles out of the woods and strikes right at the center of the lower guard's throat--she immediately slumps onto the ground. The guard on the roof clearly notices something, but after a single step forward Beade drops down from behind. There's so much force in the swing of her axe as it cleaves down on the bandit that you wince a little at the aftermath even from this distance. She raises her axe back up overhead as a silent cheer, then takes off and hovers down into the clearing. With both guards down, everyone else emerges from the woods to join her.<</if>> "Excellent work everyone, now--" Meru starts to say. "Now we strike!" Shiva says<<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>, letting out a burp. Evidently, that isn't covered by your blessing. "I'm hungry for more.~"<<else>>. "Did you see how easy that was? This is nothing, and all that planning was useless."<</if>> "Now we make a plan for infiltration," Meru says through gritted teeth. "You know what, who ever said you were in charge here?" Shiva hisses. She draws her swords. "I'm going in, I won't even need the rest of you!" Before anyone can say anything to stop her, she takes off towards the gate, even shouting a battle cry as she pushes inside so as to completely ruin the point of all your strategy thus far. Meru is fuming. She starts to mutter curses, but takes a deep breath. "We need to go in after her, there's no choice now," she sighs. "Nala, Eris--you two stay out here and keep watch in case any of them try to escape, or any reinforcements arrive." <<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>[[Follow her into the fort->Dungeon 1- Fort Battle(Naga)]]<<else>>[[Follow her into the fort->Dungeon 1- Fort Battle]]<</if>>

<<Time 18.25>>You and the rest of the party hurry into the fort after Shiva. The curtain that passes as a gate opens into a wide, dimly lit hallway of stone. You can see that it opens up into a large space further down. There are a few small rooms branching off of it, but all seem empty. That is, until Shiva emerges from one, her belly bloated and squirming with a recent meal. You also notice blood on one of her swords. "Try to keep up," she says with a grin, pushing her meal down into her tail. She readies her swords again and charges forward towards the room at the end of the hall. Just as she passes the threshold, however, there's a flash of light and the building rumbles as a fireball explodes right in front of her. One of her blades clatters against the ground as she's knocked back and crumples over. "Oh no, Shiva!" Lira calls, rushing over to her. "This is exactly why we needed a tactical approach," Meru sighs, frost gathering around her fingers as she readies a spell of some kind. "Is she alive enough to tell me where they are in the room?" Shiva coughs and pushes herself up off the ground slightly, visibly singed by the blast. "Came from the back left..." she says with another cough. "Alright, everyone get ready, I'm going to disrupt their formation," Meru says, creeping towards the end of the hall. Her hand looks like it's shaking from whatever she's charging up. While Eriah and Beade advance to attack with her, you move to assist Shiva. Bellona sticks back with you. There's a loud crashing sound followed by shouting as Meru unleashes a spell you can't see from your position into the room. In the aftermath, a few bandits scattered by the attack come into view: two with swords and shields and one wielding a battleaxe. Beade quickly charges in gung-ho, while Eriah and Meru more strategically move in to engage them together. You stay on alert and watch the end of the hall as you channel your healing magic into Shiva. "Thanks for the assist $dungeonName, she's in pretty rough shape..." Lira says, kneeling over her. "I'm fine..." Shiva says with a cough. "Dirty sneak attacking little..." She continues to mutter incoherently. You notice that the more recent bulge in her tail is still slightly squirming. "All that food she packed away should help her recover quickly, at least," you say with a little smirk. The building rumbles and you see the flash of another fireball exploding somewhere in the room ahead. You and Lira flinch a little at the impact, but you still seem safe here. "You should get in there to help them, I can handle this from here," Lira says. "I've got Bellona as backup if need be." "Uh, heh, right! I can totally handle things here!" Bellona replies, sweating. Giving them a nod, you slither forward towards the main room, carefully approaching the threshold. Just as you arrive at the entrance, the woman with the battleaxe is knocked back by an attack from Beade and tumbles onto the ground right in front of you. You look down and your stomach growls. <<link "Eat her while she's vulnerable">><<replace "#choice">>Feeling encouraged by Shiva's gluttony, you decide you can't pass up the opportunity to finish off this bandit with a more personal touch. With a calm smile, you quickly wrap the end of your tail around the woman. "I will deliver the goddess' judgement.~" "Ugh, get off me!" the woman growls as you lift her up. She gives you a wide-eyed look, clearly too weakened to put up much resistance. "Your goddess is nothing to Kirasha! She'll punish you for this!" She's barely gotten the words out of her mouth when you shove her head into your waiting maw, not having any patience for such blasphemy. You move quickly, since you're still in the middle of a battle here, lifting her up and eagerly forcing her down your throat. She wriggles and vainly tries to stop her descent as her body slides down into yours, curling up into your first stomach. In no time at all, her feet disappear behind your lips and you let out a small, satisfied burp. You rest a hand on your squirming belly, the bandit inside helplessly fighting against you. "You should still have a little time left to repent, use it wisely," you say, giving your gut a pat. Then, you focus and clench your muscles, shifting your meal further down into your tail. You sigh and ever so slightly shudder at the sensation as she slides down into your lower stomach and the weight settles, resting a hand on your now-flat midsection. "Haha! Now that's how you do it!" Beade cackles, grinning at you. She flies off to assist Meru and Eriah with the other bandits. Carefully inching forward as you survey the situation, you notice that one of the swordsmen has her back turned to you. She doesn't look nearly as worn down as your current meal, but her attention is fully on holding back Eriah's attacks. The party doesn't seem like they're in serious need of healing, so maybe you can be further help on the offensive...<<set $dungeonStomach += 1>><<set $dungeonVoreMessage to "Currently digesting a bandit">><<replace "#sidebarDisplay">><<TabletopDisplay>><</replace>> \ <<link "Try to eat her too">><<replace "#choice2">><<if random(1,20) > 6>>\ Willing to take the chance, you rush up behind the woman and grab her shoulders, shoving her head into your mouth before she even realizes what's happening. She quickly tries to swing back at you with her sword, but you manage to hold her arm firm enough to stop it reaching you. A swing from Eriah's sword knocks the woman's blade from her hand and lets you continue unimpeded. You move quickly to send the bandit to join her partner, swallowing her down past her shoulders before lifting her up overhead. You wrestle her shield away from her before continuing, feeling her thrash and squirm as she tries to escape her impending fate. She certainly has more fight left in her than the first did, but you have no trouble squeezing her down into your stomach. "Another heathen to be punished for their sins~" you say, gently caressing your squirming gut. You cover your mouth to stifle a small burp, resting the other on your shrinking belly as you start to push her deeper down into your tail. The bulge of the first bandit shifts further along and starts to squirm with renewed vigor as the second squeezes in to take her place. "Good work $dungeonName!" Eriah says, finishing off a wolf that had come to try and defend its master. She looks over at a woman holding a staff hiding in the corner of the room, presumably the one responsible for the earlier fireballs. "Now we just need to finish this..." You follow her gaze and look the mage over. Maybe it's the sensation of your prey wriggling in your tail clouding your judgement, but she looks delicious. She's undamaged and far away, and you're a little hampered by the meal you're already carrying, but you are on a roll here...<<set $dungeonStomach += 1>><<set $dungeonVoreMessage to "Currently digesting two bandits">><<replace "#sidebarDisplay">><<TabletopDisplay>><</replace>> \ <<link "Try to add her to your feast">><<replace "#choice3">><<if random(1,20) > 12>>\ "Wow, seriously?" Morgan says, laughing. "Hey, a twenty's a twenty," Erika snickers. Driven by your insatiable hunger, you charge forward past Eriah and Meru, who both shout in protest of your recklessness. You ignore them, darting towards the startled mage. She tries to charge up a spell at you, but you knock her staff aside with your own as you approach. A firebolt launches harmlessly off into the wall. "Get away from me, monster!" she shouts, backed up against the corner. You pin her to the wall, starting to wrap your tail around her, though it's a little difficult with the extra bulk bulging out of it. The bumps of her allies struggling inside of you press against her. "Kirasha will devour you for this!" "You should worry about your own fate, sinner," you say, smiling at her. Then you open your jaw wide and lunge forward, greedily swallowing her down to her shoulders in a single gulp. The robed woman lets out a muffled scream and tries to pull away, but you squeeze her tight with your tail. You savor this one a little longer, assuming the one remaining bandit is fully occupied with your three companions and not a threat, slowly dragging her deeper and deeper into your body. Soon, your belly is once again stretched out with desperate, squirming prey. "She'll punish you!" the bandit's muffled voice shouts. "Our goddess will avenge us!" You give your belly a taunting pat, then let out a very undignified belch. As you try to push her further along into your body, you grunt in discomfort, her body only partially making it into your lower stomach before hitting resistance and starting to slide back. Taking a deep breath, you close your eyes and clench your muscles tight, feeling her slowly but surely get forced down and packed in with your earlier meals. You let out a heavy sigh and relax when she's finally all the way in, resting a hand on your bloated tail. Whereas before there were two separate, somewhat subtle bumps, you've pushed yourself enough that there's now a single, very obvious distension, smaller bulges shifting around as your prey vainly struggles. It's probably going to make moving around a bit more of a hassle. "Well that was... something," Meru says as you turn back to rejoin the others, the remaining bandit already dealt with. "It was awesome is what it was!" Beade says with a big grin. "Never thought I'd meet a priestess that's got teeth!" "Yes, aren't you supposed to be a healer?" Meru says, giving you a wary look. "The goddess' will comes in many forms," you say, twisting yourself into a position where you can massage your bloated tail. "These heathens will help me replenish my mana reserves." "Looks like someone's been having all the fun without me," Shiva says, looking much better than before as her, Bellona, and Lira finally make their way into the room. "Well, I don't think we're through with this yet," Eriah says. "Indeed, none of them seemed like the leader, this can't be everyone," Meru says. "But if they were fortified here and that skirmish didn't pull more out, I doubt there are too many left. Don't stray too far, but lets split up to sweep through the building, call for the others if you find anything significant." She looks over at you.

The wound recovers to a more manageable state, but you can tell it's going to need better attention later. "What were you thinking? That was far too reckless," Eriah says. "Are you alright?" "I'll be fine..." you mutter. "My hunger simply made me overeager for a moment, it was foolish to try." "Yes, it was," Meru says, her and Beade rejoining you now that they've taken care of the mage.

You break off from the group to search the fort. Moving to the right side of the room, you carefully open a closed door, finding a narrow, seemingly abandoned hallway on the other side. There are a couple of doors lining the walls, and a ladder at the end that must lead up to the tower. You slowly make your way down to check the first door. Behind it is a small, unccupied storage room. It's mostly empty, the few supplies that are there not anything of particular value. When you return to the hall and head down to the next door, however, you can hear some kind of clanking coming from the other side. <<if $dungeonCharacter is "elf">>Readying your staff to cast a magic arrow<<else>>Readying your weapons<</if>>, you kick the door open. "Ah! I would never eat Kirasha's offer..." a bandit woman screams, giving you a wide-eyed look and quickly swallowing something. This is another storage room, this time loaded with all sorts of food, and the girl has some kind of cake in her hand. She's a wolf beastkin by the looks of it: fluffy brown ears sticking out above her black hair, a matching tail raised in alert, and much more pronounced fangs visible when she talked. After a brief pause, she drops what she was eating, draws her sword, and turns to face you. "Wait, who the hell are you?" As you stand facing off with her, your stomach lets out a slight growl.

You pass by some open cages that look like they used to house the wolves that attacked earlier. At the end of the hall there's a staircase on the right, which you cautiously head up.<<if $dungeonStomach > 1>> The extra bulk from your meals causes you some trouble trying to slide up the steps, but you manage.<</if>> At the top is a hallway that looks like it leads to the exit onto the roof, but right in front of you there's also another heavy wooden door. Meru nods at you, then approaches the door. Preparing a frost bolt in her hand, she grabs the handle and throws it open. Standing on the other side are two surprised looking bandits, standing at a round table. The room is very well lit and has various pieces of equipment and trophies strewn about, including a medallion with the symbol of a red sun on it resting on a desk in the back. "Shit, they sent better help than I thought..." one woman says, drawing her sword from a sheath at her side. She looks like she's a wolf beastkin: fluffy brown ears with white tips sticking up above her black hair and a similar looking tail sprouting from her rear. She seems likely to be the leader, wearing a more heavily armored cuirass, plate gauntlets, and a short, fur lined mantle around her shoulders. A scar runs up her cheek and there's an intense look in her eyes, amplified by her more pronouned fangs. "No choice, do it!" "On it!" the other girl says, grabbing a horn off the desk. Meru fires a frost bolt at her, but the leader flips the table on it's side as a makeshift shield in time to intercept it. "Mercenaries, always so flashy," she says with a grin. "Name's Raisa, I'm in charge here. I'd love to pay you back for whatever you did to my crew personally, but I've got something better in store!" The woman blows the horn into an opening cut into the side of the room, filling the air with a loud, low roar. As you and Meru flinch from the sudden noise, Raisa grabs something from a pouch at her side and throws it at you. It explodes in mid-air, filling the room with smoke. In the confusion, both bandits slip past you and make a break for it down the stairs. Meru grunts in frustration and gives chase once she realizes what's happened, with you following<<if $dungeonStomach > 1>> somewhat slowly<<else>> close<</if>> behind. "Regroup, the leader's making a break for it!" she shouts. Everyone arrives back in the main room at around the same time, Raisa and the other bandit ahead of you heading for the main entrance.<<else>>You quickly make your way back down the hall to regroup with everyone else<<if $dungeonStomach > 0>>, moving a bit less gracefully with the added bulk of your gut<</if>>.

She's wearing a more heavily armored cuirass, plate gauntlets, and a short, fur lined mantle around her shoulders, setting her apart from the leather and scrap armor of the rest of the bandits.<</if>> "We can't let her get away!" Meru shouts, firing off a frost bolt that narrowly misses the two of them. "Eris and Nala better be ready..." [[Give chase->Tabletop Club- Pizza Break]]

<<Time 19>>"Aaaand pause!" Morgan says. "Pizza's here, quick break everyone. Erika, I'm gonna need your help." "Right..." she sighs, standing up from the table. "Let's hurry, things are getting good." While the two of them head out into the hall, everyone else relaxes and starts to chat out of character. A few get up to stretch their legs after sitting for so long. "So, what do our newbies think so far?" Candice asks. "You guys having fun?" "Absolutely! This group is awesome," Leah says. "I was always more into it than everyone else when I played before, but everyone here is so passionate.<<if $leahRel > 1>>" She looks over at you with a smile. "I really like your character $name!<<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">> A naga seems really fun to play, <<if $dungeonStomach > 2>>especially with what you were able to pull off back there<<else>>I'd never really considered it before<</if>>!<<elseif $dungeonCharacter is "elf">> I was an elf witch the last time I played, it brings back memories.<<else>> We're kind of like a duo, she and Eriah are pretty similar!<</if>>" "Thanks! Eriah is really cool too, I can't wait to learn more about her. You clearly put a lot of effort into her design," you say, returning her smile. She seems to be really enjoying herself. "I also really like Beade," you say, looking over at Candice. "She's a super fun character!" "Thanks!" Candice says with a grin.<<else>> I love Beade, a sprite barbarian is such a fun idea for a character!" "Thank you! You did a good job with Eriah too, I can tell you put a lot of thought into her," Candice says. Leah gives her a sheepish smile.<</if>> "But who I'm blown away by is Nala--how the heck did you get Morgan to let you play as a half-giant, Kamile?" "It took some back and forth," Kamile replies. "I think she only allowed it since she's a pacifist." Candice nods. "And of course I'm excited to see what Bellona can do," she says, looking down at Emily. "I can tell you've got something up your sleave Emi." Emily gives her a little smile, sitting bent over with her arms crossed on the table. She's still yet to say a word out of character, and seems to have reverted back to her shy self from earlier while the game is on hold. "I-I'm glad the next encounter seems to be outside," Tara says quietly. She seems to panic a little when everyone gives her their attention. "U-Um not that I'm not having fun, you guys are all great and I appreciate how nice and patient everyone is, but me and Kamile have been away from the action for a while now so I'm just excited to be fully involved again," she says, blushing as her statement carries on longer than she seems to have meant it to. "I'm just hoping for more action period," Nikki chimes in. She's sitting with her legs up on the table. "This has been a total cakewalk, and Erika's stick in the mud character is just dragging it out." "Someone didn't learn anything from getting blown up," Kamile says with a little smirk. Nikki crosses her arms and pouts as a few people chuckle. "Pizza time!" Erika says, her and Morgan returning to the room. They're each carrying a few pizza boxes with "Tsavo's" printed on them. It must be some local place from the city. "Alright!" Candice says, immediately heading over to get a slice. "Was it still Todd doing the delivery?" "Oh you //know// it was Todd," Erika laughs. "I swear they want that guy dead." She sighs. "Morgan won't let me oblige..." "Oh come on, you can't eat Todd! He's like an honorary member of the club at this point," Morgan says. "Besides, this is one of the last places that will deliver to the school without having to be sneaky about the address, we don't want to mess that up." Her and Erika head over to some of the desks that were pushed aside in the back and spread out the pizza boxes. Morgan also puts down a bag with a few large soda bottles, then heads to the cabinets at the back of the room. She pulls out some paper plates and plastic cups. "Alright, dig in everyone! There should be plenty for ten people, so help yourself," she says, grabbing a slice for herself and heading back to her spot at the head of the table. "Do you guys want to take a short dinner break, or just jump right back in while we eat?" There's pretty unanimous agreement for getting right back to the game. Once everyone has their pizza and a drink, Morgan quickly recaps the situation as you left off: The party chasing the bandit captain Raisa out of the fort... [[Dive back in->Dungeon 1- The Reveal]]

<<if $dungeonStomach > 0>><<set $dungeonHealth.current to Math.clamp($dungeonHealth.current + ($dungeonStomach * 4), $dungeonHealth.current, $dungeonHealth.max)>><</if>>\ You follow Raisa and her second in command out of the fort and into the clearing<<if ($dungeonStomach > 2) or (($dungeonCharacter != "naga") and ($dungeonStomach > 0))>>, trailing behind the rest of the group due to the extra bulk from your prey<</if>>. Faced with the two remaining members of your party ahead of them, they pause for a moment. Raisa seems fixated on Nala with a big grin on her face, but as soon as she hears you catching up with her she bolts off towards the treeline on the left. The other bandit tries to follow, but she's barely gotten anywhere when an arrow from Eris hits her in the leg and she drops to the ground. "Raisa they got me, I need help!" she shouts, reaching a hand out toward the captain. "Kirasha appreciates your sacrifice, keep 'em busy!" Raisa replies, barely even turning her head to answer. Those are the last words she hears, as Shiva briefly stops in her pursuit to finish what Eris started. The rest of the party isn't far behind her, but you slow down as you start to feel a rumbling sensation. The others seem to notice as well, everyone but Shiva coming to a stop with a concerned look. The sound of shifting leaves and cracking branches is coming from up ahead. "Haha, you're all fucked now!" Raisa shouts before disappearing into the woods. "What are you all standing around for, she's getting away!" Shiva growls, pushing forward towards the treeline. "Shiva wait, something's not right!" Meru calls out. The warning, if she would have even listened, comes too late. A massive clawed hand rushes out from the forest and slams to the ground, grabbing Shiva before disappearing out of sight again. Everyone freezes and watches the treeline intensely as a large form approaches. With a crash your new foe emerges, knocking down a tree with a simple shove as they step out into the clearing. Standing before you is a gigantic four-armed woman, at least twice Nala's height, most of her head rising above the top of the fort's tower. Her skin is mostly a pale yellow, but each of her hands is a deep orange, with an irregular transition between the two along her arms. A few other patches of the orange color dot her body like oversized freckles. She isn't wearing much, little more than a loincloth wrapped around her waist and a single, rough hewn metal plate over her right breast, the fabric securing it in place leaving most of her left side exposed. Proportional to her size, she actually looks a little stubby. Looking up to her face, you find she has two fairly short horns sticking up from her forehead, one of them broken. The tips of long ears just barely peek out from her long, wild mane of greasy black hair. You could see when she was moving that a rope was used to tie some of it in the back into a more manageable bundle. Hanging from her mouth is Shiva's tail, which she slurps up like a noodle shortly after emerging from the woods. A slight bulge slides down her throat, but the size difference is so great that there's no trace of her after that. The giant looks down at you with a sharp toothed grin. "You the bugs that been messin' with mine?" she says in a booming voice, grabbing a nearby tree and uprooting it to use as a weapon. "Got a good thing goin' here, don't much like ya sticking yer noses in it." "//Morgan!//" Candice says, laughing in disbelief. "I remember from last year these things are like, level fifteen //minimum//. You're crazy!" "Not everything can be easy," Morgan replies with a grin. "There's nine--well, eight--of you, put your heads together." "What the heck is that!?" Eris shrieks. "She's a golgrim, an ogre subspecies," Meru says, gritting her teeth. "I'm guessing this is the Kirasha the bandits wouldn't shut up about. And the thing that Albina was keeping from us." "We still can't let the bandit captain get away, I'm going after her!" Eriah says. "I won't be much help against something that size." The giant slams her improvised weapon down toward the middle of the group, kicking up dirt and shaking the earth. Everyone manages to evade the blow, but you're now scattered across the field. "That's a good call, go! I'll make an opening to get past her," Meru shouts, starting to charge up a spell. "And be careful, we don't know how strong she is!" "Same to you," Eriah says with a nod. <<if $dungeonStomach > 2 or (($dungeonCharacter != "naga") and ($dungeonStomach > 0))>>You start to think about whether you would be better off assisting her than staying here, but quickly realize your choice has been made already. There's no way you could keep up with the fleeing bandit while lugging around your prey. [[Face Kirasha->Dungeon 1- Kirasha]]<<else>><<if $dungeonCharacter is "human">>Realizing you're at a similar disadvantage here<<else>>Not sure you want her facing off with the leader alone like that<</if>>, you consider whether to follow her or assist here. [[Stay and face Kirasha->Dungeon 1- Kirasha]] [[Assist Eriah in chasing down Raisa->Dungeon 1- Raisa]]<</if>>

<<set _fight to false>><<set _fled to 0>>"Alright, now!" Meru shouts, slamming her palm into the ground. She uses the same spell as back in the fort, sending a rising cascade of ice racing towards the giant. Kirasha scowls and steps back, swinging her club to break the approaching spires of frost. In the confusion, Eriah slips into the woods behind her to chase after Raisa. "Feh! Noisy little bugs ya are," she growls, gripping her improvised club with her upper arms. A toothy grin quickly returns to her face. "Kill you quick-like s'pose, better as grub." She gives a taunting pat to her exposed belly with one of her lower arms, making it jiggle slightly. "Nala<<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>, $dungeonName<</if>>, can you handle keeping everyone healed out here?" Lira says with a determined look on her face. "U-Um, yeah! It's what I do!" Nala replies. Her nervous look tells you this is the first time she's been in a fight where she wasn't the biggest combatant. "But why just <<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>us<<else>>me<</if>>? What are you going to do?" "I'm gonna keep Shiva safe until you guys finish this," she says, drawing her sword for the first time. She marches out toward Kirasha, waving it overhead. "Hey ugly!" "Shiva..?" Meru says, still kneeling on the ground and clearly exhausted from her spell. "Wait, don't be stupid!" "I'm the greatest warrior here, come face me you big fat oaf!" she shouts at the giant, standing dangerously close. Kirasha laughs and shifts her weapon into one hand, using the freed one to quickly snatch the stationary target off the ground. She lifts Lira up overhead. "You wriggle good like friend yes?" she says before opening her mouth wide. She drops Lira in, closing her lips around the catgirl's midriff and letting her hang for a moment. With two quick swallows, Lira becomes a bulge gently sliding down her throat. This time you can see a bump starting to form below the giant's breasts when Lira reaches her destination. Kirasha rests one of her hands on it and lets out a belch that echoes through the hills. "I'm surrounded by idiots..." Meru growls, getting back to her feet. She pulls a small vial of blue liquid from a pouch around her waist. "Nala, will you really not fight at all? You're the only one that might sort of be able to stand up to this thing at close range." "No, I'm sorry," Nala replies, nervously gripping her staff. "I don't think I would fare much better than you here anyways..." "What do you mean she's the only one who can handle it?" Beade says indignantly. "I //only// fight things bigger than me, just watch me!" She takes off into the air and charges at Kirasha. "Oh a real bug ya are!" the giant says, swinging her club at Beade. She dodges out of the way. "Let me taste.~" Kirasha makes a grab for Beade when she gets close, but she evades again, striking back at the hand that tried to snatch her. Despite being a solid swing, it barely seems to break her skin. Meru gives a frustrated grunt after downing her potion. "Bellona! If you were planning on ever summoning something, now is the time!" "R-Right!" Bellona says, fumbling with her spell book. She takes a deep breath, then holds out her hand to start an incantation. "Here goes..." As she speaks the words, a spark of light appears on the ground and starts to burn some symbol into the dirt. When the sigil is complete, the whole thing begins to glow bright red. Then flames erupt from the center, blindingly bright and rising high into the air. Even Kirasha pauses to see what's happening, while Beade goes to hide from the jet of fire in the fort's tower. A dark form appears in the flames, then, with a final explosive burst, the fire dissipates, leaving the original summoning sigil smoldering on the ground. Standing on it is a tall, voluptuous, pink-skinned woman with black hair. She has a forked tail, two large horns on her head, and her eyes are an almost glowing pink with black sclera. Hovering between her horns is a small cyan flame. "Who dares to summon me?" the woman says in a deep, roaring voice. "What foolish wizard thinks themself worthy to command a succubus of wra--" She stops mid-sentence when she sees Bellona and immediately loses all of her intimidating composure. Her eye twitches and the flame above her head flares up. "H-Hey again Irileth!" Bellona says nervously. "So, um, you know the deal by now, I didn't mean to summon //you//, but--" "Windsheer I swear I will--" Irileth starts to say. Her voice is now more of just gruff than the demonically haunting edge it had during her introduction. "It's //Sheerwind//, and listen! We're right in the middle of a fight and could really use your--" "I don't care what you want, just dismiss--" Irileth is cut off by Kirasha snatching her from behind. The giant immediately tosses her into her mouth and gulps her down like the other two. She lets out another burp, a tiny puff of blue flame igniting at the end of her breath. She's starting to sport a much more pronounced gut, but doesn't seem hindered by it at all. "Mmm, that bug spicy," Kirasha says. She gets a wild grin, holding her club out with her upper arms while her lower ones rest on her belly. "Make me more!" "Uh... heh..." Bellona says, looking extremely flustered. "Sh-She'll be ok, her soul will go back to her real body in Eofol once that thing's stomach has put in enough work..." "I'm not worried about the succubus, we need a plan for ourselves!" Meru shouts as everyone falls back to a safer distance. "What else can you bring out?" "Uh, well... Irileth is the //only// thing I can summon..." Bellona replies sheepishly. "She's actually really strong, but, uh, she doesn't like me much..." "I don't even want to know, just hide with Nala!" Meru shouts. "Beade, fall back, we need a plan!" "My plan is to kill this thing!" Beade replies, charging right at Kirasha's face. She nearly gets grabbed, but a shot from Eris makes the giant flinch and she's able to slip away. \ <<link "Assist in the fight">><<set _fight to true>><<include "Kirasha_Fight">><</link>> <<link "Focus on keeping yourself safe from Kirasha">><<include "Kirasha_Fight">><</link>> \ "Alright, I think I've got it!" Meru shouts. "Eris, how's your mana faring? Could you get off a sureshot?" "Y-Yeah, I should be able to handle one more!" she calls back, currently fleeing from an increasingly pissed off Kirasha. "Perfect, and I should have just enough left in me to cast cascade again thanks to that potion. Here's the plan: Eris, when I give the signal, hit her right in the eye with an arrow. When she recoils from that, I'll hit her from behind, hopefully hard enough to make her fall," Meru explains. "Then once she's down, Beade, if you can get another blow with the same force as earlier in on her head, that might be enough to finish her. Even if she doesn't go down, there should be an opening for you to try." "I like this plan!" Beade cackles, flying around and pestering Kirasha to draw her attention from Eris. "What about me?" you ask. "You're going to be the distraction. Trust me on this," Meru replies, giving you a little nod. "Just do something to get her focused on you so that I can get in position behind her. And Eris! You shoot your arrow before that thing can do anything to her." "Right..." you say, slightly hesitant but not having a better idea. "Alright, everyone get ready!" Meru calls out, starting to make her way around the outskirts of the clearing to flank Kirasha. <<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>You take a deep breath, then raise your staff. Both you and it start to glow bright as you cast a healing spell on yourself to try and grab her attention. "Kirasha!" you shout. "You claim yourself as a false god, a blasphemy of the highest order! The goddess will show you no mercy, come and face her judgement!"<<elseif $dungeonCharacter is "elf">>You take a deep breath, then point your staff out at Kirasha. You fire off a flurry of magic arrows to try and get her attention. "Hey! Four armed freak, over here!" you shout, firing another arrow.<<if $dungeonStomach > 0>> "I've got one of //your// 'bugs' churning away right now, you know. What are you gonna do about it?" you say, patting your gut with your free hand.<</if>><<else>>You take a deep breath, then turn to Kirasha and start beating your sword against your shield to get her attention. "Hey! Four armed freak, over here!" you shout. <<if $dungeonStomach > 0>>"I've got one of //your// 'bugs' churning away right now, you know. What are you gonna do about it?" you say, patting your gut with your shield hand.<<else>>"Come and face me, you don't scare me!"<</if>><</if>> "//GRAAH!//" Kirasha shouts, turning to you with a furious look. "Annoying little bugs ya are! Not worth eatin'!" she growls, stomping toward you with her arms already winding up to smash you. Before she gets a chance, an arrow with a sparkling green trail whizzes past, landing directly in her right eye. She bellows in pain, bringing two of her hands up to hold her head and taking a half, somewhat stumbling step back. On cue, Meru sends a cascade of ice surging at her from behind. Kirasha was already losing her balance recoiling from the arrow, and when the rising spires of ice shove against her, her hope of recovery fades. She stumbles forward and starts to fall. Fall, you realize too late, directly onto you. "Yes! That's how you flawlessly execute a plan!" Erika laughs. "I would have rather not been in this position in the first place, but I'll take it," you say, grinning as you look at the twenty you just rolled. There isn't time to get to safety, so you just brace yourself in place, as if it would do something about a falling object that size. However, by some miracle, you find yourself perfectly lined up with the falling giant's chest. As she crashes to the ground, you slide exactly into her cleavage, the impact cushioned by the soft flesh of her breasts enough to avoid harming you in any significant way. Although you do now find yourself trapped in a tight, sweaty embrace. As you start to try and shimmy your way out from under her, you hear a wet thud somewhere above you and the pressure pushing down on you abruptly gets more intense. Luckily, with some assistance from a very worried Nala, you manage to squeeze yourself back out to safety. When you turn around, you find Beade sitting on the fallen Kirasha's head with a grin and a splash of purple blood on her face, her battleaxe wedged in the giant's skull. The fight, it seems, is finally over. "Wow we... we actually did it!" Bellona says, giving the downed giant a curious poke. "You contributed exactly nothing," Meru says with a scowl. "Though I'd like to discuss this summoning problem of yours once we're back in Steadwick." She steps forward and starts to inspect Kirasha. "This is... impressive, though. Golgrim are very formidable creatures, I'm a little shocked we were actually able to defeat her. It makes a lot of sense that Albin hired so many of us now, though I have some words for him about leaving this out of the bounty." Nala also approaches your defeated foe, though she has a forlorn look on her face. "Poor thing. I feel bad that it ended like this for her, even though I know it was kill or be killed here..." "Well, if you don't like what's already been done you should turn away," Meru says, moving down closer to Kirasha's midsection. "Because of Lira's reckless plan, she and Shiva might still be alive in there. And I'm not going in to pull them out any natural way when I'm not totally sure this thing is actually dead yet." Just then, there's a rustling in the trees. You turn to find Eriah emerging from the forest, looking worse for wear but sporting a distended gut. She gives everyone a grin as she comes into view and smacks her belly. "The head of this cult has been cut off," she says, stumbling slightly as she crosses the clearing to rejoin everyone. "Made of much //*urp*// tougher stuff than her underlings. I tried interrogating her, but even in my stomach she refused to offer anything meaningful about the situation here." "Excellent work," Meru says with a smirk. "Alright then, Nala, you help her out, and Beade, I'll need your help with this. Everyone else, do a sweep through the fort to make sure there aren't any more bandits hiding out. And grab anything valuable. I think we're about done here."

She uses the same spell as back in the fort, sending a rising cascade of ice racing towards the giant. Kirasha scowls and steps back, swinging her club to break the approaching spires of frost. In the confusion, you and Eriah rush forward and slip into the woods behind her to chase after Raisa. She's already far enough ahead to be out of sight, but you stay determined. You're able to find a vague trail of signs that someone has recently passed through as you move, following it while hoping that you aren't just misinterpreting things. After a while, you have to pause to rest, afraid that you lost her. "Maybe we should have just stayed to assist the others..." Eriah says, leaning against a fallen tree. She stops and squints, picking something up off the ground. "Wait, this is... brown wolf fur. She's been through here recently, we're still on her tail!" "//Very// recently," a voice says from behind you. Eriah spins around just in time to block a throwing knife that was hurtling toward you. Standing on the branch of a tree just a little ways behind you is the bandit captain, grinning down at you with another knife readied. "Raisa!" Eriah says, brandishing her sword. "Your cult has caused enough harm, this ends here!" Raisa throws her knife at you as she jumps down from her perch--you dodge, but it still narrowly grazes your arm. "You're a paladin alright," she laughs, drawing her sword with one hand and pulling another knife from her side with the other. "And what a stupid one, to see Kirasha in all her glory and still think we're a cult following a 'false god'. Did you think I was really running after what you did to my crew? Ha!

"$dungeonName, wait!" Eriah shouts. You ignore her and keep pushing forward. Just as you shift to try and bring your sword down on Raisa, she leaps forward, using your shield as a foothold to vault over you. She hurls one of her knives into your shoulder through a chink in your armor just as she passes over you. You flinch from the pain, and before you can turn around to face her, she rams the hilt of her sword against your back hard enough to knock you down to your knees. <<elseif $dungeonCharacter is "elf">>You start to ready a spell, taking two steps forward and pointing your staff at her. A fireball forms and surges toward the bandit leader. However, the moment the spell starts to fire she ducks down under its flight path and rolls forward, evading the blast. As she comes out of the roll, she strikes at you with an uppercut from her sword, cutting a shallow gash all the way up the front of your body. You stumble back and she kicks you to the ground, throwing her knife at Eriah to keep her from interfering.<<elseif $dungeonCharacter is "naga">><<if $dungeonStomach > 0>>Eager to give her the same fate as her lackey<<if $dungeonStomach > 1>>s<</if>><<else>>Fully taking the taunt and eager to prove her wrong<</if>>, you dart forward with the intent to swallow her.

She gets a sinister grin, showing off her fangs. "How long do you think you'd survive if I cut it off?" She raises up her sword, intent on testing that theory, but Eriah intervenes. You see a sword wreathed in teal light slash right down Raisa's chest, knocking her back like she'd been hit by an explosion. Eriah steps forward with her shield raised, assuming a defensive stance between you and her. "Fucking... paladins..." Raisa says, coughing as she struggles back up onto her feet. "I won't be beat by magic tricks!" She hurls another throwing knife at Eriah, who easily blocks it and starts to advance. Raisa tries to swivel around behind her when she gets close, but Eriah was watching her closely and immediately bashes her with her shield when she tries to slip by. The wolfgirl gets back up again and, clearly enraged at this point, makes a much less tactical, wild swing with her sword. She and Eriah trade a few blows, but soon she's thrown back to the ground by another shield bash. "You really think... you can beat the Claw of Kirasha?" she says with a little laugh, coughing shortly after. She pulls a smoke bomb from her pouch and slams it to the ground. "I'm not finished yet!" You can't see what's happening through the thick blanket of smoke, but you briefly hear the clashing of metal. Then you hear a scream that abruptly gets muffled, followed by some very odd, wet noises. The smoke begins to dissipate and you see a form with a distended gut walking towards you. As she gets closer and the smoke fully clears, you see that it's Eriah, her belly thrashing with the bandit captain trapped within, the bloated flesh pushing her heavy plate armor aside and partially exposing itself. She lets out a belch and gives it a hard smack, grinning to herself. "$dungeonName, are you alright?" she says, hurrying over to assist you. "That was foolish--even if she wasn't obviously baiting for us to attack, you aren't equipped for direct combat like that!" "I know, it was stupid..." you mumble. You grimace as she pulls the throwing knife out of your side, using a weak healing spell to close the wound. You use your own magic to fix yourself up a little bit more, then finally get back up.

Eriah starts to step forward to try and intervene, but Raisa is quick to react. She pulls an orange vial from her belt and hurls it at the ground between them, causing it to erupt in flames. Eriah flinches and steps back, as Raisa pulls a smoke bomb from the pouch at her side and throws it at her feet. <<if $dungeonHealth.current < ($dungeonHealth.max / 2)>><<set $dungeonRaisa to 3>>\ "Now that we have some privacy~" Raisa says. The smoke is so thick that you can barely even see her right in front of you. Before you can react, you feel her grab your arm, then drive her knee into your back. "I'll punish you the way Kirasha teaches." You try to push her off of you, but she has you locked down. And soon, you feel what you feared--she pulls you up and her lips wrap around your head. You find yourself enveloped by her mouth, her tongue sliding down your neck and your head squeezed tight by saliva-drenched flesh. She knows she still has Eriah to deal with, so she moves quickly. She swallows furiously, feeding your body into her mouth as you're forced down her throat and into the warm prison of her stomach. You're helpless to stop it, and in just a few moments you find yourself entirely sealed within her. "//*Uuurp*// This is the fate of all nonbelievers!" she shouts, smacking you through her gut. "Repurposed for a worthy cause! Don't worry, you can join her once I've worn you down a little." You start to thrash against the tight embrace of her stomach walls, but quickly find it difficult as she jumps into action. She's surprisingly still very agile with you hanging off of her, and you feel every shift, turn, and lunge she makes. You can hear metal striking metal as she and Eriah clash, your whole world shaking and shuddering as you're helplessly dragged along for the ride of their battle. The movements you can manage don't seem to be in vain, however, as you notice her seem to stumble every now and then. "$dungeonName, brace yourself!" you hear Eriah's muffled voice shout. Very worried all of a sudden, you take her advice. A moment later, you feel the stunning blow of something smashing right against the front of Raisa's belly. She's knocked back and crashes to the ground, the wall of her stomach immediately clamping down hard around you.<<set $dungeonHealth.current to Math.clamp($dungeonHealth.current - random(12,20), 1, $dungeonHealth.max)>> As was, hopefully, Eriah's plan, Raisa's stomach quickly rejects you after the crushing hit. You feel yourself get forced back up into her throat, your body racing through the tight tunnel until you're ejected out onto the ground. Covered in saliva and digestive fluid, you quickly do what you can to move away from your former predator, who's keeled over on the ground nearby, coughing. "Bull... shit..." Raisa coughs. You see her reaching for another smoke bomb, but Eriah grabs her arm to put a stop to it. Without a word, she pulls her up to return the favor of trying to eat you. You watch as Eriah forces the wolfgirl's head into her mouth, keeping her arms restrained as she starts to work her way lower. She swallows her in up to her shoulders, then down over her breasts. Raisa thrashes against her as she's hoisted up into the air, Eriah careful to remove her belt of tricks before continuing. As her gut begins to swell, you notice the plates of her armor starting to shift up and to the side, seemingly designed to accomodate its wearer indulging herself in a meal. With just a few more swallows, it's over, and the bandit captain is sealed away within Eriah's writhing belly. "$dungeonName are you //*URP*// alright?" Eriah asks, hobbling over to you. "I hope I didn't harm you too much, that was the best thing I could think of to get you out." "I'll be alright..." you say, pushing yourself up and struggling onto your feet.

You hear her growl in frustration. You start trying to get back on your feet, but she quickly kicks you down again, leaning over and grabbing your arm. "I'll punish you the way Kirasha teaches." Before she can continue with whatever she had planned, Eriah interves. You see a sword wreathed in teal light lash out at Raisa through the thinning smoke, striking her directly in the chest. The impact knocks her back like an explosion, instantly blowing away the remaining smoke as well. Eriah steps forward with her shield raised, assuming a defensive stance between you and Raisa. "Fucking... paladins..." Raisa says, coughing as she struggles back up onto her feet. "I won't be beat by magic tricks!"

Guess I'll have to get you moving if we're ever going to get anywhere." With a grin, she pulls a small vial of bright orange liquid from her side. "$dungeonName, take cover behind me!" Eriah shouts, holding her shield out in front of her. Raisa throws the vial towards your feet, but Eriah steps forward to block it with her shield before it can land. As the vial strikes the metal of her shield, there's a flash of teal light forming a much wider barrier around it. When the bottle breaks, it explodes into flames, but Eriah's barrier sends most of it flying back at Raisa. She growls and jumps back. "Fucking paladins..." she grumbles, drawing a throwing knife in her off hand. "A few magic tricks won't save you!" <<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>\ "Eriah!" you shout, raising your staff into the air. "Goddess' blessing upon you!" you shout, a flash of light sparking from your staff. A very faint halo of golden feathers appears around Eriah's head. Raisa just growls again and throws a smoke bomb at her feet. Eriah raises her shield, the two of you carefully scanning the growing cloud of smoke. You catch some movement and a dagger comes soaring out at you. Eriah knocks it away, but right as she's blocking the first a second whips out of the smoke, managing to impale itself in your tail. You recoil in pain, but tracing the flight path the blade must have followed, you notice the subtle shadow of your foe in the slowly dissipating smoke.<<set $dungeonHealth.current to Math.clamp($dungeonHealth.current - random(12,20), 1, $dungeonHealth.max)>> "There, on the right," you say. Eriah nods and shifts to be between you and her. When Raisa goes to reposition herself, you're able to follow her movements this time. Eriah pulls back her sword and you notice a familiar teal light shimmer across the blade. She rushes forward into the smoke, bringing a powerful slash down right on top of Raisa's shadow. There's a burst of teal light on impact, knocking Raisa back and instantly blowing away the cloud of smoke. Between your blessing and whatever extra power Eriah used, that one blow seems to be all it took for her to be down for the count, leaving her coughing on the ground and not even attempting to get up.\ <<elseif $dungeonCharacter is "elf">>\ Raisa starts to make her move, darting to the left. However, she doesn't make it far before you cast your barrier directly in her path. She crashes right into it and falls back onto the ground, looking very confused, then angry, as she realizes what happened. Eriah quickly moves in to try and take advantage of the opening you created. "All you've got are cheap tricks, cowards!" she shouts, pulling out a smoke bomb and throwing it at her feet. Eriah stops in her tracks and switches to a defensive stance, slowly moving back from the cloud of smoke. You scan the smoke for any hint of her location, waiting for her to make a move, then get a better idea. Holding out your staff, you launch a fireball into the side further from Eriah. You seem to have struck closer than you imagined to your target, Raisa's prone form tumbling across the ground as the explosion clears the smoke from the air. She starts to get up, but is quickly met by a shield bash from Eriah that sends her sprawling onto the ground again.\ <<else>>\ You and Eriah turn to each other and nod. Intending to flank your foe, you both start to move in opposite directions. Raisa seems wise to this and goes on the move, throwing her knife at you and darting towards Eriah's side. Easily blocking the knife with your shield, you pick up the pace, rushing around as Eriah engages her. The clattering of steel fills the air as the two of them clash. Raisa sees your approach and throws another dagger your way, trying to swivel around Eriah in the process. All she accomplishes, however, is lunging right into a shield bash. "Gonna take... more than that to stop me," Raisa growls, raising her sword to block your advance just in time. She pushes you back and gets to her feet, but when she tries to strike you with her blade, she's met with a cut to her arm from Eriah. When she tries to retaliate against her, you step in and slash across her belly. The two of you keep up your assault in perfect sync, beating her down as she struggles to handle fighting against two enemies and fails her attempts to break away. Once she's clearly wearing down, you step in and bash her with your shield, knocking her back onto the ground.\ <</if>> With Raisa down, the two of you quickly move to make sure she's truly finished. She coughs up a little bit of blood as she attempts to push herself back up. She doesn't make it far before faltering and almost faceplanting into the dirt. "Do... what you want with me..." she says.

Although she doesn't have enough strength left to manage a real resistance, she struggles and squirms the whole way down.

She races towards Kirasha just as the giant slams her club down at Eris, making her outstretched arm an easy target. "Time to learn your lesson, handsy!" Beade soars like an arrow, bringing down her axe on the giant's forearm with an overhead smash.

That wasn't as effective as you were hoping, and you don't have the mana for many more fireball, so you try to just fall back for now. "Hey! You should be keeping your eyes on me, handsy!"

Nala asks, eying the occasionally squirming bump in the giant's gut. Kirasha shouts and brings her club down with another earth-shaking blow. You and Meru both manage to evade, getting sprayed by clods of dirt and ending up separated from Eris. "If whatever Lira's doing has been enough for them to be alive still at all, they should be fine," Meru says, firing off an ice bolt. "Probably." "And how do you expect we knock down this one-horned glutton?" Beade shouts, fluttering around Kirasha. "...still working out that part," Meru mutters. Kirasha makes a grab for Beade, but she pulls back in time to evade. She flutters back a little farther, then winds up for another heavy strike and charges in. Kirasha holds up her makeshift club to block her attack, Beade's blow cutting over halfway through the log. There's a creaking, snapping sound, then the structural integrity fails and half of it crashes to the ground. Kirasha roars in frustration and throws the remaining end towards you and Meru, splitting the party even further as you evade in different directions. Everyone is scattered in different places, and there still isn't much of a plan. \ <<link "Assist in the fight">><<set _fight to true>><<include "Kirasha_Fight">><</link>> <<link "Focus on keeping yourself safe from Kirasha">><<include "Kirasha_Fight">><</link>>\ <</if>>\ <</replace>> <<else>> <<replace "#choice2">>\ Before you've had much time to think of your next move, Kirasha, clearly enraged by how much of a fight the "bugs" are putting up at this point, roars and balls her hands into fists.

You and Eris avoid anything worse than getting disoriented, but Meru seems to take a heavy hit. <<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>\ Quick to react, you slither over to where Meru is trying to struggle up onto her feet. "Hold still," you instruct, raising your staff up. The tip of your staff begins to glow, creating small wisps of golden light that swirl around her. You couldn't visibly see much of the damage she took, but the speed and confidence with which she gets back up tells you your healing worked like a charm. "Thank you..." Meru grunts. She gets a worried look and starts to charge up an ice bolt. "Look out!" You quickly shift back as one of Kirasha's hands crashes down where the two of you used to be standing. You keep moving, trying to retreat to a safer distance.

But, it's enough to give Meru a chance to dive out of the way. You fire off a magic arrow at Kirasha's face to keep her attention on you as Nala moves to assit Meru in getting back on her feet. Both fortunately and unfortunately, you succeed in grabbing her focus.\ <<else>>\ Noticing that Kirasha is headed straight for where Meru is trying to struggle into range, you try to get her attention.

Meru is keeping her distance as well, mumbling to herself as she trys to come up with a plan to defeat her. Beade is still recklessly fluttering around Kirasha, managing to avoid her attempt to grab her for now and getting a few small scratches in, but it doesn't look like she's having any serious effect. Eris, meanwhile, is fleeing into the woods as Kirasha tries to retaliate with her club. Seeing Eris' predicament as Kirasha starts to wind up for another swing, Meru launches a short flurry of ice bolts at her. They hit just below her neck, two seeming to shatter on impact but the third managing to draw a slight drip of blood. It's enough to get Kirasha's attention. She growls and starts to move towards her instead. "Hey! You should be keeping your eyes on me, handsy!" Beade shouts, twirling her axe around and winding back for a heavy strike. She races towards Kirasha just as the giant slams her club down towards Meru, who manages to dive out of the way in time to avoid it. Beade soars like an arrow, bringing down her axe on the giant's outstretched forearm with an overhead smash. The blow cuts deep and makes Kirasha cry out in pain. There's a splash of dark purple blood from the point of impact. Unfortunately, she's quick to react by punching Beade with one of her lower arms, sending the sprite spiraling back into the air. She barely recovers in time to give herself a more gentle landing. "Beade!" Nala shouts, quickly getting close enough to the downed sprite to use her healing magic. Meru, meanwhile, narrowly dodges an attempt by Kirasha to grab her. "Your friends gettin' mushy bugs," Kirasha growls, glowering down at the group. She gives her slightly bulging belly a poke with one of her lower arms. "You join 'em like good grub!" "Alright, I think I've got it!" Meru calls out. "We need to bring her down!" "Obviously!" you reply, still trying to keep a safe distance from the giant. "No, I mean literally! We need to knock her over," Meru replies. "She's got too many advantages over us like this, but we can use her size against her. For something that big, toppling over is going to really hurt. And once she's down we'll at least have a brief window where she's vulnerable." "Won't a crash landing like that hurt Shiva and Lira?"

She slams her upper arms onto the ground, creating a shockwave that knocks everyone back and showers the area with debris. You and Eris avoid anything worse than getting disoriented, but Meru seems to take a heavy hit. Kirasha moves in to finish off her wounded foe, stomping towards Meru. Beade tries to take the opportunity to strike, but gets backhanded by one of the giant's lower arms--not as powerful as the hit before but enough to knock her back and make her disoriented. Eris also tries to intervene, but Kirasha ignores the tiny pricks from her arrows. She bends down and aggressively scoops Meru up off the ground, holding her up to her face. "Ohhh, what's all the whispering about?" Candice asks, looking over at Erika. She gestured for Morgan to lean over and is informing her of something quietly. "C'mon, share with the party!" "I'm allowed to have my secrets," Erika replies, giving a little smirk. "Hah! Got ya grub, no more tricks," Kirasha says, giving Meru a toothy grin. "Wriggle nice and--" She's cut off by a sudden explosive spell from Meru. At first you think it's her cascade spell from before being used at close range, but you quickly realize it's actually a burst of strange blue flame that seems to spark and crackle like electricity. Stranger, her hands are bound and she seemed to shout just before the attack. However she managed it, it's enough to get a startled Kirasha to drop her, stepping back and covering her face. "Meru!" Nala says, moving in to heal her. She slams her staff down on the ground and a brief fount of light erupts around Meru, seemingly a more potent healing spell than she's used thus far.

They all start cheering as you approach. You recognize the woman at the front of the group as Albina, who steps forward to meet you. "Excellent, excellent! We heard the fighting from here, I knew you would be able to handle it!" she says, clapping her hands together. "You've done us an incredible service, I cannot thank y--" "Listen here you sleazy little rat," Meru says, cutting her off as she marches up and grabs her by the collar. "That's the last bit of confirmation I needed that you //knew// that thing was involved in this. I knew there was something fishy about all this from the start, but I never imagined you were dirty enough to leave something like a //golgrim// out of your explanation of the situation. Start talking." "Please c-calm down," she sputters, pulling back away from her. "It's true, that creature was always the real problem, I offer my infinite apologies for misleading you. There were only ever two raids from the bandits. First they sent just a few, they robbed and kidnapped a few people in the night, then their leader came in the day after raving about 'Kirasha' and demanding we pay them tribute. If we didn't, they'd raid the town for human sacrifices to their goddess like they had the night before. Of course we refused and chased her off... but the next night they returned with that... four-armed //thing//. It destroyed homes, part of the wall, and ate most of the guard before they finally pulled back, we were powerless to do anything. Of course we started paying the tribute they demanded." "Yeah, I could have guessed the situation was something like that after fighting the damn thing," Meru growls. "I want to know //why// you decided to leave her out." "Of course, of course!" she says, sweating. "At first, I //did// specifically put out a bounty for the giant--a 'golgrim', did you call it?--but no one answered. We were desperate, you must understand, so... I put out a call for a 'simple' bandit problem and accepted as many mercenaries for the job as I could, praying the numbers would be enough for you to handle Kirasha. And it worked out!" she says with a nervous smile. She glances over at <<if $dungeonEatenByKirasha>>you, Bellona, Shiva, and Lira, your experience easy to guess from your appearance<<else>>the disheveled Shiva and Lira, their experience easy to guess from their appearance<</if>>. Shiva has her hands on the hilt of her swords and is practically hissing at her. "//Ahem//, but, uh, I see you've overcome great difficulty handling this task for us. I-I'll go see Lady Guinevere at once about raising your reward for such an impressive feat! I will meet you back at the Mended Hammer, please help yourselves to anything you like while you wait, tell Sarrin I'll cover it all." She quickly scurries away up the road and Meru lets out a frustrated sigh. But, it's hard to stay angry with the townspeople hailing you as heroes. Nala seems worried about frightening people, but they're actually very curious and eager to meet her. Since she can't fit through the door, she stays outside to talk with some of the townsfolk while the rest of you return to the tavern where this journey started. It's much quieter this time around, prior to your entrance. Only one or two tables occupied and a lone woman sitting at the bar, most of which give a curious look to the odd band of adventurers marching in. Beade is quick to inform Sarrin that everything the group wants is on Albina's tab. She then also orders a round of drinks for everyone, plopping herself down in a chair at the largest table. Everyone else soon takes a seat to join her. "Oh, and bar-bird!" Beade calls out, raising her hand up. Meti, the harpy girl serving as a barmaid, clumsily hurdles over a nearby table to apprach her. "Get me whatever meat you have--mutton, chicken, I don't care. I'm starving after all that!" "Yes yes, Meti will be back!" the girl chirps, heading over to the bar. "Um, aren't sprites supposed to be vegetarians?" Eris says. "Ain't elves supposed to mind their own business?" Beade snaps back with a pout. Eris doesn't have a response other than looking down at the table sheepishly. Everyone quickly starts to get comfortable and unwind. Shiva is still quietly stewing on the far end of the table, but all the others are happily chatting away and enjoying their victory. Meru is talking with Bellona, very curious about her summoning powers. "So you're saying that it's not that you only //know// how to summon Irileth, but that she's the only thing you //can// summon?" Meru asks. "Not even just that trying to summon her is the only thing that works, but that no matter what I //try// to summon, no matter what spell I use, she's the thing that pops out," Bellona says with a sigh. "And always Irileth specifically, not even ever another succubus... I mean, she is actually very strong, even if the way things went before might not show it, but I'm starting to just feel bad for her at this point." "Fascinating..." Meru says, holding a hand to her chin. "I've never heard of a situation like this, something strange must be binding the two of you together. Not only is an unintentional summon unheard of, but you shouldn't even be strong enough to summon something of that level in the first place, let alone an intelligent creature like a succubus. Normally that would require forming a contract with them for anyone but a grand master." Their conversation is interrupted by Albina entering the tavern, announcing the arrival of "her lady Guinevere". The whole room grows quiet as she and another human woman with long brunette hair, tied back into a large braid, make their way to your table. She's wearing a short, regal-looking maroon dress with white accents. Her face looks younger than you were expecting, a hint of nervousness in her blue eyes. "Greetings, I am Guinevere, ruler of Steadwick," she says, giving a very slight bow. She clasps her hands together. "I must offer you my sincere gratitude for what you've done for us, and I felt it necessary to apologize personally for the deception you suffered. I was not made aware of the change to the bounty, and never would have condoned such a dangerous, dishonest risk." Albina keeps her head bowed down to avoid catching anyone's gaze. "I'm willing to offer you half again what the listed bounty reward was as recompense." "Deal!" Beade shouts, slamming her tankard down on the table. She's quite drunk at this point. There's murmured agreement from everyone else that the increased reward is acceptable. "Wonderful, I will have Albina fetch it from the treasury at once," Guinevere says. She just glares over at Albina. "Ah, but, I, uh, shouldn't leave you alone, my lady," she says, glancing up for only a moment before returning her gaze to the floor. "Sarrin makes for a better envoy than you anyways, I'll be fine here. Go," she commands. "Yes of course my lady!" she blurts out, bowing to her, then the table, before rushing out of the tavern. "Now, with that settled, I would also like to make a proposition, if you will hear me out," she says. No one voices any objection, so she continues. "Our world is a very dangerous place, and even here in the vale new threats are constantly emerging. Beasts like the one you have slain for us seem to crop up out of nowhere, recent reports that the Everwild has begun to spread past the mountains, I've even heard rumors of a necromancer on the rise in the far north. Not to mention the encroaching expansion of the Concordat--in fact, I have reason to suspect they were behind the cult you faced in an attempt to force us to go to them for aid. Although the imminent threat is gone, we are still left with barely any forces to protect us thanks to the appetite of that giant." "I'll stop you right there," Meru says. "I'm not interested in guard duty, and I doubt anyone else here is either." "Of course, don't misunderstand me," Guinevere says. "I would not ask you to patrol the streets, simply to remain based here in Steadwick. A resident adventuring party can do wonders to deter threats, and I already have several jobs more suited to your skillset that I would be eager to employ your assistance with. In exchange, I can offer you free lodging here at The Mended Hammer in the short term, and once repairs have been made, I can promise one of the properties destroyed in Kirasha's rampage as a place for you to stay. On top of payment for the work you do, of course." Everyone but Meru and Shiva are quick to agree to the idea. Shiva is grumpy, but eventually agrees as long as there will be "plenty of stuff for her to kill" in the promised bounties. Meru thinks it over for a while. "I suppose, for now, I can remain," Meru finally says. "I don't like to stay in one place for long, but I am admittedly fascinated by some members of this group. And it is difficult to argue with guaranteed shelter and work." "Excellent! For tonight, celebrate and enjoy your victory! We can talk further on this arrangement tomorrow at my manor," Guinevere says, bearing a grin that might not be fitting for royalty. "Thank you again for your service, Albin should be back soon with your reward." She gives a slight bow of her head and takes her leave. Eriah makes a toast to your new companionship, and soon another round of drinks is sent around. The night is filled with merriment as you celebrate your hard fought victory.

<<set $dungeonEatenByKirasha to true>>You're sucked into the dark confines of her mouth, her lips sealing around your hips as your upper body rests on her slimy tongue, your head far enough back to stare down the entrance to her throat. <<if ($dungeonCharacter != "naga") and $dungeonStomach > 0>>She barely seems hindered at all by your bloated gut, shoving it right in with the rest of you. <</if>>You feel the sting of a slight cut as you graze the top of her sharpened teeth, but she's deliberately keeping her jaw open. You're just small enough to fit inside it without causing her to have to stretch. Her insides are a deep purple color instead of red, her tongue almost lavender. She swishes you back and forth tauntingly a few times, taking in your flavor. You try to resist and push yourself back out, but it's far too late now as you feel her tongue pull you back. With a powerful swallow, your head, shoulders, and breasts are forced down into the tight tunnel of her throat<<if $dungeonCharacter != "naga">>, your legs getting sucked into her mouth behind you and sealing you away from the outside world<</if>>. <<if $dungeonCharacter is "naga">>She slurps your still-hanging tail into her mouth, then sends the rest of you on its way to her stomach with two quick swallows.<<if $dungeonStomach > 0>> The bulges from your earlier meal don't seem to phase her at all, effortlessly gulped down with the rest of you.<</if>><<else>>It only takes one more swallow for her to finish the job, sending you on your way to her stomach.<</if>> You feel the tight, rippling walls of her esophagus slowly drag you down lower and lower, squeezing as you're forced deeper and deeper into her body. Her heartbeat grows louder, almost deafening. The waves of pressure inch you along, until finally your head bumps into something that offers resistance. You hear some annoyed grunting and voiced disapproval as you're slowly pushed forward, getting packed into Kirasha's already occupied stomach. Her body squeezes you in over your companions, forcing them down deeper and stretching the chamber as you're scraped against the stomach walls. You wind up angled downward, squeezed tight between the slick outer wall and what seems to mostly be Shiva's tail. Lira is stuck on the bottom right in front of you, her head occasionally getting pressed into your chest by the shifting and kneading of the stomach walls. She's still alive and conscious despite a rising tide of acid, and a combination of her occasional healing magic and the flame over the succubus' head slipping through the slight cracks subtly illuminates the interior of the stomach, glistening off the slimy walls. Just like her mouth, they're an oppressive dark purple color. A loud groan breaks through the air as the walls grind against the writhing tangle of flesh you've become a part of. "//Nnnph//... Is that... $dungeonName?" Lira says in a strained voice. "Shit... I'll keep you safe as long as I can... but I was already starting to worry about my mana reserves with just me and Shiva..." "Than--" The whole chamber shakes when you try to speak, and you both hear and feel the rumble of Kirasha's footsteps as something happens outside. "Thank you..." you finish. "I'm sure the others will figure this out..." You shift and try to push out at the walls, even if you know it's in vain. "How is Shiva fairing?" "Well..." Lira says. Before she can finish, you're interrupted by more odd pressure and jostling from Kirasha moving, a loud crash telling you she was trying to grab another of your party members. "She's, uh, she's still //generally// fine, but she hasn't said anything... intelligible... for a while." On cue, you hear Shiva roar, starting to thrash and writhe her whole body in an attempt to break free. It only serves to make things more uncomfortable for the rest of you as her body grinds against you in the cramped confines. "Would you give it a rest?" you hear Irileth growl, her voice a little muffled. "Even your giant friend couldn't upset a golgrim's stomach with just thrashing like that, all you're doing is annoying everyone else. Some of us are trying to digest in peace!" "Like hell we are!" you grunt, trying to push out at the walls. They're too tough for you to accomplish much of anything. "She's talking about herself," Lira sighs. "She even refused my healing, but succubi are pretty resistant to any kind of burning so she's probably still even better off than we are..." "I'm going to strangle the life out of that Windsheer girl for this when I get the chance..." Irileth grumbles. The whole chamber shakes as Kirasha makes some kind of attack, jostling everyone around. "You got gulped down pretty pathetically for someone who made such a big entrance," you say. "Can't you do anything to get us out of here?" "I could //absolutely// punish this disgusting beast for daring to do this to me--if you insufferable fools weren't in here with me," she says. "Even involuntarily, I'm bound by the summoning seal to not harm my... 'master'," there's utter disgust in her voice, "or her party. Anything effective I could do would also incinerate you." "Hah! Another whiny little bug mine!" Kirasha's voice booms around you after another bout of shaking and squeezing. Something slams against you twice from the outside and makes the whole chamber shudder and sway. "Join yer grub in my belly!" There's a strange sound above you, and not long after something else starts to get pushed in alongside the rest of you. The space in her stomach grows even tighter as a fifth body is packed into it. A soggy hat squishing against your back gives you an idea of who the newcomer is. "Fuck, Bellona too..?" you say. "I-It's fine, don't worry! I was the bait..." she says, her words slurred from being pushed up against the roof of the stomach. "WINDSHEER!" Irileth suddenly roars. "Oh this thing had //better// churn you up like the sad waste of meat you are. I don't know where you get the //audacity// to not dismiss me as soon as I was swallowed! You stupid, insufferable little--" Irileth's ranting is overpowered by a scream from Kirasha. You're all jostled around in her belly as you feel her stumble backward. Then, there's a crackling, crashing sound behind you and something pushes her forward. You get a strange, weightless feeling for a moment. You and the others scream for yourselves as you realize what's happening moments before impact. You black out as Kirasha crashes onto the ground, landing directly on top of her bloated belly and crushing its contents. [[Continue->Dungeon 1- End]]

I think this session went well, we've got a really good party here!" "Yeah, this was a blast Morgan!" Candice says. "I loved the boss encounter, you're always full of surprises!" "Yeah that was a great challenge!" Erika says. "We really lucked out that it was so easy to bounce her aggro around, I think that's the main thing that let us actually win. Not sure if that's a golgrim thing or if Morgan was just being nice." "Well, one of the ways I handicapped her so that a party of your level could handle it was adding a trait that made her always target the last person to damage her unless she was enraged," Morgan says, starting to pack up her things. "You're the best at what you do, Morgan," Candice says with a laugh. "I'm pretty beat, me and Emi are gonna head out. See you all next week!" She and Emily both wave to everyone as they make their exit. "Same here," Linda says with a yawn. "It was great meeting all our newcomers!" "Yeah, stay safe until next time guys!" Kamile says. The two of them head out of the room as well. <<if $leahDitched>>You notice that Leah looks like she's hurrying to get her stuff packed away. "This was really fun, thank you! I can't wait for next week!" she says to Morgan with a big smile. "I'm glad you had fun, I'm excited to see more of Eriah!" Morgan replies. Leah catches your gaze for a moment and quickly starts to look uncomfortable again. Grabbing her things, she heads for the door. \ <<link "Apologize to her for the other night">><<replace "#choice">>"Leah, wait up!" you say, hurrying over to meet her before she leaves. She crosses her arms over her notebook and looks off to the side. "What do you want..." "Listen, I'm really sorry about ditching you the other day. I ended up having a lot going on thanks to the 'massacre' and I was dead tired, but I didn't have your number or anything to let you know it wasn't gonna work out," you say. "It was a super shitty thing to do just leaving you hanging like that, I'm sorry. I've been trying to catch you to apologize since then. I'd still love to hang out sometime." "O-Oh..." Leah mumbles, fidgeting a little. "I understand, I guess... but, I don't know. I'll... thanks for apologizing," she finally says. She gives you a slight smile that seems sincere, but her eyes tell you she's still a little upset. "I-I'll see you around, I guess." She quickly shuffles off down the hall. You sigh. You were hoping for that to go a little better, but at the very least she did seem to accept the apology. After giving her a little time to get ahead, you start to follow her down the hall to head to your own dorm. <<Leah 1>> [[Head back to your dorm->September 4th- Night]]<</replace>><</link>> <<link "Let her go">><<replace "#choice">>She doesn't seem to be in the mood to talk, so you just sigh and let her go. Getting your own stuff together, you thank Morgan and head out into the hall to turn in for the night. [[Head back to your dorm->September 4th- Night]]<</replace>><</link>><<else>>"This was really fun, thank you! I can't wait for next week!" Leah says to Morgan with a big smile, starting to pack her things back into her folder. "I'm glad you had fun, I'm excited to see more of Eriah!" Morgan replies. "Yeah, I had a really good time!" Tara says. "Thanks for putting up with me, I know I can be tough to listen to sometimes because I get nervous and just keep rambling on like I'm... doing right now. Heh..." "Oh you're fine! It's not a problem at all, I hope you can get comfortable here," Morgan replies. As you're starting to pack up your stuff, Nikki comes over to you and Leah. "Hey," she says, crossing her arms. "You guys got any interest in the game //Guts and Glory//? I'm tired of playing alone online, I'm looking for people I can cream in person. We can play in my dorm later in the week." \ <<link "Sure">><<replace "#choice">><<set $tabletopMeetup to true>>"Yeah sure, that sounds like fun!" you reply<<if !$leahHangout>>, even though you don't know anything about that game<</if>>. <<if $leahRel > 1>>"I'm definitely down!

I've got a bullshit amount of classes tomorrow and then I have to get up early the next day..." Nikki grumbles. "I'm in Room L201." "Um, could I come too?" Tara says quietly, coming up to the group. "I've been wanting to try that game but haven't gotten a chance yet, and I'd love to hang out some more, and sorry I probably shouldn't have been eavesdropping but--" "Yeah, sure," Nikki says, cutting her off. "Room L201, six o'clock Friday. I'll see you then." She quickly heads out of the room, not even confirming that that actually works for you. Tara gives an awkward wave and takes her leave as well.<</replace>><<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">><</link>> <<link "Nah">><<replace "#choice">>"Nah, sorry, I'm not really interested," you reply somewhat bluntly.

Leah says as she finishes getting her stuff together, looking a little nervous. "I'll see you next time, or maybe just around if we really do have a class together." "You too, see ya!" you reply, waving to her with a smile as she heads out the door. You're the last to leave, following not far behind her as you head back to your dorm to turn in for the night. <<Leah 1>> [[Head back to your dorm->September 4th- Night]]<<else>>\ "That was so much fun! I'm really glad you're in this club," Leah says once it's just the two of you. You both give Morgan and Erika a wave, then head out into the hall. "Yeah, I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did!" you say. "I can't wait for next week. You did a great job with Eriah, both the design and just, like, getting into character. I was a little surprised!" "Heh, thanks," she says, blushing a little. "It's easier to be confident when you're someone else, you know?" "I don't know, I felt like I was //more// nervous trying to be $dungeonName," you say, stopping as the two of you arrive at the door to your dorm. "Well, this is my stop." "Oh, alright, have a good night!" Leah says. She hugs her notebook a little tighter to her chest and looks at the ground. "Um, we should hang out<<if $leahHangout>> again<</if>> sometime soon, or something..." You smile at her. "Definitely! Maybe I'll catch you tomorrow." In the middle of your sentence, two girls come out of another dorm a few doors down. They head straight for the stairs, not seeming to notice you and Leah at all. Your stomach growls and an idea strikes you. \ <<link "There's something the two of you could do right now...">> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to false>> <<set _baseline to 10>> <<set _modifier to 0>> <<set $stamina -= 8>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto [[Club End- Hunt With Leah: Succeed]]>> <<else>> <<goto [[Club End- Hunt With Leah: Fail]]>> <</if>> <</link>> <<link "Just call it a night">><<replace "#hunt">>More tired than you are hungry, and not sure if Leah would even be up for it, you decide to ignore the girls and just call it a night.

In the distance, you can hear rumbling and crashing coming from the direction of the fort. The battle is still ongoing, at least, and your comrades haven't been defeated.

"You've already doomed me to digestion, what do you think I would tell you bastards?" <<if ($dungeonRaisa is 2) and ($dungeonCharacter is "naga")>>"I haven't started to digest you yet, there's still time," you say.

"How dare you speak of her like some... mercenary!" Raisa growls, starting to thrash hard. "Kirasha is our goddess, our savior! We worship her and give her tribute, and she answers our call and devours our foes! You are blind not to see her as we do!" "Why<<if $dungeonRaisa != 2>> //*urp*//<</if>> target Steadwick?" Eriah asks, looking disappointed. "I won't answer your worthless questions paladin! Release me or end me, my lips are sealed!" Raisa shouts. "Kirasha will punish all of you for what you've done, and so I too will be devoured by her! If I must meet my end, at least that is a fitting one..." <<if ($dungeonRaisa is 2) and ($dungeonCharacter is "naga")>>"Alright, go ahead and finish her off, this clearly isn't going to work," Eriah says with a sigh. You grin and rest your hands on your bloated belly. Clenching your muscles, you feel it shrink as she's pulled deeper down into your second stomach. <<if $dungeonStomach is 3>>There's a little bit of resistance and you have to push harder, but she's slowly packed into your tail alongside her partially digested underlings.

Raisa says, going still in <<if $dungeonRaisa is 2>>your<<else>>Eriah's<</if>> belly. "No..." <</if>>"We need to get back to the group," Eriah says. You nod in agreement.

The giant beast you saw before is toppled over on the ground, motionless and bleeding from a few places. Beade is sitting on her head with a grin and a splash of dark purple blood across her face, her axe buried in Kirasha's skull. Everyone but Bellona looks pretty worn down, and you notice that Lira is now also missing on top of Shiva.

<<Time 8.75>>You and Emma make your way upstairs and across the bridge to Lampton. <<if !$metSunny>>\ Just as you're about to head down into the dining hall, Emma slows down and waves to someone coming from the other direction. Rounding the corner of the far hall is a short blonde girl wearing a loose orange top<<if $ateBethany>>--the same one you saw with Emma yesterday after your oversized meal<</if>>. She has a pair of dark sunglasses on even though she's inside. "Hey, look who's right on schedule!" the girl says with a laugh, snapping her fingers into a point at Emma. "And you must be the roommate<<if $emmaRel > 3>> I've heard so much about<</if>>!"<<if $ateBethany>> She brings a hand to her chin for a second, then nods. "Yeah, yeah, I remember you from last night! You were a lot bigger then, looks like your stomach put in some good work."<</if>> "Yeah, hey! I'm $name," you say. "And you're... Sunny?"

Your timing couldn't have been more perfect. "Hey, look who's right on schedule!" Sunny says with a laugh, snapping her fingers. "Aw, what's that look for $name?" "You know what," you reply, glaring at her. "Ah don't be such a drag, you're really still mad about that?<<if $sunnyRel > -1>> We're even now!<</if>>" "Uh, what happened?" Emma asks, giving you a worried look. "She tried to eat--" "I didn't //try// to do anything, silly--I succeeded!" Sunny says, giving you a little nudge. "I had $name here fill in for my breakfast when I was late to class yesterday as payback for dissing the shades. And then I let her back out, so we're all good!" "Sunny! Are you serious?" Emma says<<if $emmaRel > 4>>, stepping closer and protectively putting an arm over your shoulder<</if>>. Sunny puts her hands on her hips, sighs, and hangs her head a little. "Yeah, yeah... I just saw an opportunity while I was in a pinch, she helped me out and <<if $sunnyRel < 0>>tried to make<<else>>made<</if>> up for being rude the other day! Was never gonna digest her, promise." <<if $emmaRel < 3>>"Right... Um, sorry $name, I didn't realize. Are you still fine getting breakfast together?" Emma says. "Yeah, it's fine..." you grumble." "That's the spirit! Let's get some food, I'm starving!" Sunny says with a grin.<<else>>"But still, that's a really dangerous, scary thing to do to someone!" Emma says, looking uncertain. "You know you are //bold// to be lecturing a junior on something like this. I love it! You've got spunk Em," Sunny laughs. "Alright $name, she makes a good point, I'm sorry. Won't let my stomach do the talking again... as long as you remember //your// promise from yesterday," she says, tapping her sunglasses and giving a little nod. You sigh. "Apology accepted, I guess." "Great! let's get some food, I'm starving," Sunny says with a grin.<</if>>\ <<else>>\ Just as you're starting to head down into the dining hall, the familiar face of Sunny rounds the corner from the further hallway.

I'm doing great, super excited to plan this thing out!" Emma replies. "I'm a little tired, but otherwise good," you say. "What about you?" "Girl, I'm Sunny D, everything's always going great," she replies with a grin. You're pretty sure she winked, but it's hard to tell through her shades. "But damn I could really go for a cup of coffee right now actually, let's hit the buffet."<<set $sunnyNick to true>><</if>> The three of you head down the stairs into the dining hall, Emma and Sunny eagerly chatting as you make your way over to the buffet line. Things are pretty busy at this hour, at least half of the tables in the room already occupied. You fix yourself a plate of the waffles and eggs they have laid out today and head to the nearest open spot. "Alllright, let's get down to business!" Sunny says after taking a long sip of her coffee, slamming an arm down on the table. "Em filled you in on what's up, right $name?" "You're planning a party for the freshmen, right?" you say. "Bingo!" she says, flashing finger guns at you. "This Saturday night, a chance for all you newbies to let loose without having to swim with the sharks, baby! It was Em's idea but I'm super on board, would have loved to have something like that my first year." "We've just gotta work out some of the details!" Emma says. She takes a bite of one of her waffles, which have been absolutely drowned in whipped cream. "Like where to actually have it, our dorm isn't really built for hosting parties. I remember you saying we could use the lounge, Sunny? Wouldn't that be really dangerous? It's right by the senior and junior dorms." "Normally yeah, but I know what's up around here," Sunny says with a grin. "Biggest problems a party like this would have to worry about are the nutcase and Mckenn. Zoey always goes into town to hunt on weekends so we shouldn't have to worry about her crashing things on a Saturday, and I can guarantee Maeve isn't gonna show at a party I'm running so that rules out her and her little posse." <<if $sunnyInfo1 > 0>>"Wait, I thought you said when we first met that Maeve is the only one who //would// mess with you?" you say, raising an eyebrow at her. "Pretty sure I said she //could// mess with me--and she could, I'm not gonna pretend I could face off with 'the queen'--not that she //would//. Trust me, she'll stay away. Don't worry about the why."<<else>>"Why's that?" you ask. "Don't worry about the why, just trust me, she'll stay away."<<set $sunnyInfo1 to 1>><</if>> "I trust you! But that's still only the most dangerous upperclassmen," Emma says. "Most of you guys are a serious threat to us freshmen, no offense..." "I'm taking care of that later today, don't you worry!" Sunny says. "I'd like to think that a lot of people would just listen to me, but I've got an extra ace planned to get any upperclassmen who stumble in to chill out. I figure if I pitch the idea of a chance for freshmen to relax and have fun week one to Kim I can rope her into playing babysitter, even if she isn't much for parties. She's like the anti-Maeve, if you guys haven't met her, so that's pretty much the best you can hope for for getting people to behave," she explains. "Put all that together and bam! Safest party you could possibly manage at a place like this." "Wow, I don't know what we'd do without you Sunny!" Emma beams. "Yeah I know it," Sunny says with a laugh. "So we've got a time and place and protection, what else needs to be figured out?" you say. "Well, obviously we're gonna need booze if we're doing this right," Sunny says. "I can pick up some stuff but I ain't made of money." "I've got a pretty big stash back in our room since I wasn't sure if I'd have a way to get more here, a lot of rum and some other hard liquor but definitely not enough beer for a full party; my minifridge is only so big," Emma says, resting a hand on her chin. "If you could get more beer and some mixers, we might be alright. I can pitch in money!" "Oh, you're a sophisticated alcoholic!" Sunny laughs. "Yeah that sounds like it'll probably be good, I can head into town before things get started Saturday. I guess that just leaves the last big thing: actually getting people to come." "Me and $name can handle that! Our classmates might not trust it if you were the one giving out invites," Emma says with a laugh. "Right $name?" \ <<link "Are we just inviting all freshmen or being more selective?">><<replace "#choice">>"Yeah<<if $emmaRel is 0>>, I guess<</if>>," you say. "Are we inviting //all// the freshmen or being selective?" "I mean, be at least a //little// selective," Emma replies.

"Yeah that's a perfect example of where you need to use a little judgement," Emma laughs. "Ugh, god, you think her and Betty are the type to show up uninvited if they hear about it?" "Haha, nah, I'm sure Alice thinks our party would be 'beneath her' or some shit," you say, rolling your eyes. "Ooo, you're talkin' Alice Mercato, right? She's the hot gossip with the upperclassmen right now," Sunny laughs. "You know, with the famous mom that one of the teachers absolutely hates and all. What's she like?" "<<if $aliceRel > 0>>Well, she's kind of a jerk and definitely full of herself<<else>>I mean, she's pretty much a total bitch, super full of herself<</if>>," you reply. "Yeah, sounds about right," Sunny says with a laugh. "I mean, have you ever seen Selene Mercato when she isn't playing a role? Plus she ate her husband as a publicity stunt a while back, which I'm guessing was Alice's dad, so that's gotta mess you up at least a little bit." "Wait, what?" you say, pausing mid bite. "Haha yeah, she's crazy! This was like a decade ago now, I was really into trashy hollywood drama when I was a kid," Sunny says. "Oh my god, that's awful..." Emma says.

"That pizza didn't last long enough, I'm already feeling hungry again." Leah looks over at the two girls making their way upstairs and seems confused, then realization washes into her eyes. She blushes and hugs her notebook even tighter. "O-Oh you mean you want to... right now... t-together?" she mumbles, shifting in place a little. "Yeah, it seems like a good opportunity, one for each of us and we know they're freshmen," you say. "We don't have to if you don't want to, just an idea." "No! No, um... yeah I'm hungry too, let's try it," she says, giving you a smile then quickly looking away. You grin. "Alright! We better get moving then, don't want to lose track of our prey." The two of you head towards the stairs, quietly following behind the other girls. Leah is trailing slightly behind you, fidgeting with her notebook. You're starting to get a little concerned about whether or not she'll actually be able to pull this off with you. Luckily, however, the two girls still haven't noticed you as you sneak onto the second floor behind them. "I'm telling you, it's not going to be open," one of the girls says. She's a little shorter than you and has long black hair. It looks like she was getting ready for bed prior to whatever they left their room for, wearing just flip flops, pajama pants, and a very loose tank top. "Do you think they just leave the whole campus unlocked at all times?" "Oh don't be such drag, April," the other girl, a slightly taller brunette with her hair tied back in a ponytail, says, waving her hand. She's wearing a simple, short dress and has a bag slung over her shoulder. "You don't know for sure it won't be! When else are we gonna get the chance to have the pool all to ourselves? Besides, why are you coming with me if you think it's pointless?" "You never listen, Catherine. I already told you, I'm not interested in swimming, I just don't want you getting eaten like an idiot," April replies. "We're safer together. But speaking of you being an idiot, why did we go upstairs if you're trying to get to the pool?" "//Because//, my judgemental little roommate, there was a club happening in the main hall that was still going pretty late. If we go up here and then down the stairs by the teacher offices we can avoid any danger," Catherine explains. "And here I thought //you// were the one paranoid about safety!" "I'll get Catherine," Leah suddenly whispers to you, positioning herself next to you so that she's behind her target. "Oh, alright. How should we tackle this?" you reply as quietly as possible. Your prey are still cluelessly bickering. "They haven't noticed us yet..." "Yeah, I think we should just go for it," Leah says. "Um, like just, grab them from behind, I mean." You shrug. "Works for me, they don't seem too tough." When the girls turn the corner, you nod at Leah and the two of you quickly advance to the edge of the wall. "Let's do this." Having closed the gap while there was no chance of them seeing you, the two of you rush around the corner, abandoning any attempt to be quiet. Leah looks like she's instantly out of breath just from running a few feet, but she catches up to Catherine and wraps her arms around her chest before she'd even acknowledged the threat. You aren't so lucky, however, as April snaps her head back as soon as you start to approach. You lunge out to grab her while she wastes a precious moment trying to alert the oblivious Catherine, but you're just a second too slow. Your fingers graze her shoulder, unable to get any sort of grip before she jumps back away from you. @@color:orange;Your strength fails you.@@ "Hey! What do you think--Catherine!" April shouts, spotting her roommate already halfway down Leah's throat. She takes a half step forward, but then looks between you and Leah. She doesn't seem to like the odds of two on one. "Crap... Crap! I-I'll find someone to help!" You try to give chase in a final effort to claim your own meal, but she's surprisingly fast now that she's on alert. It quickly becomes clear you aren't catching her, so you stop to catch your breath, defeated. A loud burp tears through the air from behind you. "E-Excuse me..." Leah says with a nervous laugh. There's an oddly wild look in her eyes as she hugs her distended gut, stretched out with the form of Catherine helplessly trapped inside. Her hoodie only covers about half of it, leaving a stretch of her pale belly exposed. "Well, at least that half-worked..." you mutter as you walk back over to her. "How was she?" Leah's attention was fully focused on her belly; she almost seems startled when you start to talk. She quickly looks back up at you, her face turning bright red. "Um, she was //*urrrp*// delicious..." she says, giving her gut a squeeze then shifting one hand to rub near her exposed belly button. "Really... wriggled... on the way //*urp*// down..." "Then this was still worth it, glad I could help you out," you say with a smile. You lean in a little and give her belly a gentle prod. "Hey Catherine, your roommate sucks. All that talk about only coming to keep you safe then bailing at the first hint of danger, what a baby." "I know right! She was totally lying, I know she wanted to swim," comes a muffled reply from inside of Leah. "But I'm //ecstatic// she got away from you! I hope you're so starving your stomach hurts without her, you don't deserve--" The bulge she's making suddenly becomes much more distinct as Leah tightens her stomach muscles, cutting her off. She keeps up the pressure for a few seconds before releasing with a heavy exhale, followed by a belch that makes her cover her mouth. "Heh, thanks," you say, placing a hand on her belly and giving it an appreciative pat. Leah lets out a sound like a whimper and jumps back a step. "S-Sorry, uh... your hand was cold," she says after a suspicious pause. She's still blushing enough to cover her whole face. "Um, so, we should probably get back to our dorms, right? In case the //*URP*// other one actually comes back with help?" "Oh... yeah, I guess," you say. You were hoping to hang out with her for longer, but the way things went she does make a good point. And she seems a little uncomfortable with the current situation. "Probably a good call." You make your way back towards the dorms, leaving Catherine's bag abandoned on the floor. You move much slower with Leah waddling under the weight of her gut, but it still isn't long before she stops at one of the doors and pulls out a key.<<set $leahDorm to true>> "Ok, um, I'll see you //*urp*// around!" Leah says, seeming eager to get back into her room. "Enjoy the meal! I hope she doesn't give you any trouble," you say, giving her a smile and a wave. "Thanks, you too!" she blurts out, slipping into her room before she can realize her mistake. You just sigh and shake your head, though there's a slight smile on your lips.<<if ($leahRel < 2) or (($leahRel < 3) and ($dungeonRaisa > 0))>> <<Leah 1>><</if>> You turn to make your way downstairs, returning to your dorm on an empty stomach.

But, she wastes a precious moment trying to alert her oblivious roommate, and you take the opportunity to lunge forward at her. You get a solid grip on her arm. "Hey! Get off--crap, Catherine!" April shouts, pausing at the sight of her roommate already halfway down Leah's throat. You grab her other arm while she's distracted and try to pull her closer, but she resists, attempting to break your grip. She pulls back hard enough that you both topple to the ground. "No, come on! Get off me!" Her plan backfired tremendously, leaving her helplessly pinned beneath you. You give her a taunting smirk as you kneel over her, then lean in to plunge her head into your mouth. @@color:yellowgreen;You overpowered your prey.@@ She lets out a muffled cry as you start to swallow her down, squirming beneath you. Your lips slide past her shoulders, slowly getting squeezed through into your throat and dragged down toward your eager stomach. Her legs kick and flail in a desperate attempt for freedom, but with her arms already locked down by your mouth you easily reposition to get her under control. You can feel your gut starting to swell as her body is pushed down into it, growing larger with every swallow. Sitting back, you lift what's left of her legs up overhead, savoring the feeling of her body wriggling down into yours. Soon only her feet remain. You pluck away her flip flops, push down on her soles, and give one last swallow, sealing her away. "//*UUUURrrrp*// That hit the spot," you say with a little laugh, giving your belly a gentle smack. You start to try and stand, but a kick from April makes you lose your balance and drop right back to the ground. You decide to just scooch back and lean against the wall instead, your gut spilling out onto the tile floor in front of you. Hearing a belch from someone else, you turn your head to look at Leah. She seems to have her prey completely locked down, standing in the middle of the hall with her arms wrapped tight around her bloated belly. Her hoodie only covers about half of it, leaving her pale flesh exposed. She seems completely entranced by her gut. "How was //*urp*// yours?" you ask. She jumps a little, like she'd forgotten she wasn't alone. Her cheeks flare up enough that it looks like her whole face is turning red. "Um, she was //*urrrp*// delicious..." she says, giving her gut a squeeze then shifting one hand to rub near her exposed belly button. "Really... wriggled... on the way //*urp*// down..." "Haha, I'm glad! This couldn't have //*urp*// gone better," you say with a grin. You pat the ground next to you. "Come on and sit with me, I'm not //*UURP*// going anywhere until she's calmed down a bit." On cue, you feel a hard kick from your prey. "Let me out! What are you two even doing out in the halls this late?" April shouts, her voice muffled by your flesh. "Oh, just //*urp*// looking for a midnight snack," you say, giving her a taunting poke. "Oh, uh, sure..." Leah finally answers, waddling over to where you are against the wall. She drops down to a sitting position, letting out a little burp when her gut impacts the ground. There's an awkwardly large amount of space between you. <<include $sceneActionsLink>> <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "predOptions">></div>

<<set $ateApril to false>>April's wriggling and thrashing inside of your stomach is really starting to get to you, a dull pain spreading through your abdomen as nausea takes hold. You do what you can to try and slow her movements, but one good blow makes you grunt and jerk forward, removing any control you had over the situation. April seems to notice this and starts to struggle with renewed vigor. "Let me //out// of here!" she roars, shoving out against the walls of your stomach. "I'm not gonna die like this, just give up and SPIT ME OUT!" "Are you okay?" Leah asks, noticing your distress. You start to answer, but before you can say anything you feel April strike the top of your stomach three times in quick succession, pushing you over the edge. You immediately bend forward and cover your mouth with your hands. It doesn't do you much good, and before long your prey is surging back out onto the hallway floor. She quickly sits up and coughs, giving you a wide-eyed look. <<if $turn > 7>>She's been stripped completely naked by your stomach, her pale skin glistening with digestive fluids.

"That's... right...," she says, panting. "I'm not your food! I'm... crap..." Her eyes settle on Leah's bloated belly, having no issue keeping her roommate contained. Leah looks very uncomfortable with the current situation. "I-I'll find someone to help!" she shouts, scurrying off down the hall. You make a weak attempt to give chase, but don't even make it to your feet before stumbling from a cramp in your stomach. You sigh as you watch her disappear around the corner. "Um..." Leah mumbles. "Are you okay $name?" "Yeah, I'm fine..." you say with a sigh. "Well, at least you've still got yours." "Yeah..." she replys. With some effort, she pushes herself back up onto her feet under the weight of her gut. "Um, so, we should probably get back to our dorms, right?

Leah says, seeming eager to get back into her room. "Sorry about... y'know..." "Yeah, see ya," you say, giving her a smile and a wave. She quickly disappears into her room.

<<if $preyHealth is 0>> <<append "#digestion">> As you and Leah sit in the hall working through your meals, you continue to have some stunted, but enjoyable conversation. Leah definitely seems even less sociable than usual, something about the current situation making her nervous and flustered even though she appears to be enjoying herself, but it is still nice to sit and chat with her. Your conversation turns to the tabletop campaign for a while which gets Leah talking, but a tangent brings you to something more vorish. "So now I'm curious: How many people have you eaten?" you ask, drumming your fingers on your ever-softening belly. You haven't felt April move even a little in quite a while. "Oh, um, I don't know... not like a crazy amount, just a couple every now and then..." she replies. Now that her prey has been gone for a while she's mostly mellowed out from the weird mood she was in.<<if $leahRel > 2>> She shifts a little and crosses her arms in front of her chest, blushing.

"Well, it looks like I can officially add one more to my count now!" @@color:lime;April has been digested!@@ "Heh, nice," Leah says with a slight smile. "Yeah mine's been done for... //*yawn*// a while now." She leans forward, hugs her belly to pull it a little closer, and rests her head on it like a pillow, her eyes starting to droop. "You look like you're ready for bed," you say. "It is pretty late... and I have a lot of digesting to do..." she mumbles. "Yeah, I guess it's probably time to get going," you say. With a deep breath and some grunting, you haul yourself back up onto your feet under the weight of your gut, using the wall for a bit of support. You stretch out your arms, then give the sloshing mass hanging off of you a gentle pat. Leah is still curled up around her belly on the floor. "Haha, come on, we can't stay out here all night," you say, offering her a hand. "Right..." she replies groggily, taking your hand. It takes some effort, but with your assistance she manages to get back up on her feet. The two of you slowly make your way back toward your dorms. The only sound filling the halls at this hour is the soft splashing and gurgling of your bellies hard at work. You weren't actually very far away, so even at your waddling speed it doesn't take long to arrive at the door to Leah's dorm. "Alright, this is goodbye for real this time," you say with a little laugh. "Good luck sleeping all that off." Leah just smiles and gives little nod as she unlocks her door, clearly very tired. You wave and start to walk away, but she finally speaks up before disappearing into her room. "Um... this was really nice $name, thank you," she mumbles, blushing. She closes the door and scurries inside before you can do anything other than smile back at her.<<if $leahRel < 4>> <<Leah 1>><</if>> <<include "playerPredEnd">>[[Return to your own dorm for the night->September 4th- End of Day]]<<set $leahDorm to true>> <</append>> <<elseif $turn is 1>> <<append "#digestion">> <<if $lastAction is "crush">>With your prey subdued for now<<else>>Hoping to make things a little less awkward<</if>>, you start to shift yourself a little closer to Leah.

With a mischevious smile on your face, you shift away from the wall and stretch out until you can just manage to get a grip on the bag. Pulling it back with you to your original position, you open it up in search of what you assume is inside. Sure enough, one of the only things inside is a pair of swimsuits. You grab the bikini top that's resting on top, ball it up with your hands, then shove it into your mouth. The fabric has an odd flavor and texture to it that isn't particularly pleasant. You quickly swallow it, sending a slight bulge down your throat. It feels oddly cold as the lump makes its way down to join April in your belly, the experience unpleasant enough that you decide not to bother with eating the other half just for a joke. "Are you serious? You're a freak!" April says as the wad of fabric is squeezed out onto her. You can feel her moving around a little.

<<set $anatomyDemonstration to 1>>Curious about what she has planned and feeling a little adventurous, you raise your hand. "I'll do it!" you say. Some extra credit couldn't hurt. "Perfect, no changing your mind!" Bora says with a little laugh, pointing at you. "Come on up here!" With an uncertain smile, you get up from your desk and walk up to join her at the front of the room. "<<if ($fullness > 0) or $fat > 49>>Hmm, well, kind of a hefty one but I can manage if it means having a willing volunteer... <</if>>Now to just make sure this works..." She pulls out her phone and fidgets with it for a little while, turning her flashlight on in the process. Then she returns to her computer and pulls up a window she had minimized. Up on the board, a live video feed from her phone is now being projected. "Perfect! Say hi everyone," she says, pointing the camera at the class. "So today, as we continue our introductory content and transition into the first real unit, we're going to be doing something a little more interesting than looking at pictures from a textbook. I'm going to be giving you a live tour of the early digestive system! Specifically mine," she explains with a grin. "Well, for the most part. Before our lovely volunteer starts their job as the cameraman, they also get to be our mouth model! I can't exactly talk while showing you the inside of my own. Hope you brushed this morning dear!" "Cameraman, huh..?" you mumble. Your eyes are drawn to the professor's stomach, having a bad feeling you know exactly where this is going now. "Let's jump right into it then! Here, take this and open your mouth wide for me," Bora says, handing you the phone and helping you get a good angle on the camera. You're standing with your back to the board so you just have to take her word for it. Meanwhile, Bora hurries over to her desk and pulls out two things: an antacid, which she promptly swallows, and, strangely, a candy cane. "I'll use this to point things out so that I'm not jabbing my fingers in your mouth," she explains, peeling the wrapper off the candy. "So, as you all should know already, digestion really begins in the mouth. When it comes to normal food, one of the most important steps in mechanical digestion is chewing; your teeth grinding your food down into much smaller, more manageable pieces for the rest of your digestive tract to handle. Another major element of digestion supplied by your mouth is this stuff," she says, gently twirling the candy cane against your tongue, giving you a blast of minty flavor in the process. She slowly lifts it up and a slimy, translucent strand of spit follows, clinging to the surface. "Saliva! Not only does saliva moisten and saturate your food so that it's easier to swallow, it also contains some digestive enzymes: amylase and lipase. These enzymes work to start breaking down starch and fats before you've even swallowed!" She continues to go over the anatomy of the mouth, poking and prodding at your poor mouth with the candy cane to point out various glands and features on the video. Even though it's only a few minutes, it feels like you spend an eternity standing there with your mouth open. It's starting to get dry and your jaw feels sore when she finally pulls the candy cane out for good. "But what we're really worried about here is the functions of the digestive tract as it relates to swallowing large, living prey, of course. And when it comes to that, we can throw basically everything I just said out the window!" she says with a laugh. "Obviously you aren't chewing a person, so other than serving as the entrance to the rest of your digestive tract your mouth only has one purpose in those situations: lubrication. It's a very tight fit getting a whole person down your throat, and saliva plays a very important role in getting your prey slick and slimy enough to go down smoothly. Saliva isn't the only factor in this, however! The inside of your mouth, along with almost all of your internal organs, is covered in a mucous membrane that also helps keep things slick and moving." "Alright, that about wraps up the first section of our demonstration! You can relax your jaw and mentally prepare for the next part, dear," Bora says, giving you a pat on the back and taking back her phone. Returning to her desk, she throws out her pointing stick candy cane and pulls out a small plastic bag to put her phone in. "For this stage of the lesson, I'm going to have to explain what you're going to be seeing and what you should look for before it happens unfortunately. I could do a little bit of in-and-out to give you a more thorough demonstration, but I don't want to put our poor volunteer through //too// much. Our next stop in the digestive system is the esophagus!" "The basic mechanics here are very simple: muscles in your throat facilitate swallowing, which transfers food from your mouth through an opening called the fauces down into your esophagus. Through a process known as peristalsis, rhythmic contractions will then squeeze and drag your food through the length of the esophagus and down into the stomach," she explains, tracing a line down her throat and stopping where her stomach would be. "More interesting things come into play, however, when something as large as our volunteer here is swallowed." She hands you her phone again while she talks. You stay focused on what she's saying, but there's a looming sense of dread hanging over you. "As should be obvious to everyone, our volunteer is much larger than my mouth and throat at her widest points. We all know that our flesh is remarkably elastic, which accounts for the biggest issue here, but there's a lot more at play than you might realize! Consider that, even though my organs can easily stretch to accomodate something this size, there are also several //bones// in the way of my meal getting through my mouth and down to my stomach: my jaw, collarbone, and ribs," Bora says, gesturing to each as she speaks. Her bust is large enough that she has to lift it up a bit with one arm to make clear what she's pointing to. "How the jaw moves out of the way is probably something you're familiar with, but involves a process you may not be properly aware of. You see, when faced with a large meal, our brains send out signals that significantly alter several bodily functions. There are scientific terms for this we'll get into later, but colloquially this is often referred to as the 'predator response'. For now, the change we're worried about is in our jaw and throat. The first thing that happens to accomodate prey is to supress the gag reflex, allowing for large objects to pass from the mouth to the esophagus unimpeded. While it isn't itself the cause of the gag reflex, a visible indication of this change to look for when the demonstration begins is the uvula seemingly disappearing, as it gets pulled back to lay flat against the back of the throat. The next change to occur is one that enables the dislocation of the jaw bone: A muscle activates that lets it pop out of place while remaining connected to the skull. This muscle carefully controls how far the jaw can stretch, never allowing it to go further than is required, and safely pulling it back into place as the obstruction passes. It's interesting to note that we have no conscious control over this muscle, even while swallowing prey! Try it for yourselves now: you won't be able to open your jaw wider than it's typical range of motions without attempting to put something into your mouth, and even then it won't stretch further than it needs to." A majority of the class immediately attempts this, and, sure enough, it can't be done. Some go as far as to put their fist into their mouth, but like she said their mouths only stretch exactly enough to fit it in. Most people quickly get embarrassed as they realize how silly they look. "I hope you got that on camera," Bora snickers, nudging your shoulder. She clears her throat before continuing. "Once prey has passed into the esophagus, the collarbone and ribcage still remain as obstacles. The mechanism here is a simple one, and serves as one of the most fascinating physiological differences between human males and females. While men's ribs and clavicles are completely solid, we have segmented ones. Rather than being a single, solid bone, each rib--and clavicle--is made of several smaller bones connected by a special kind of cartilage. They're structured in such a way that when faced with internal pressure, they can safely shift and expand to make room, contracting back to their original position when the intrusion passes," she explains. "And yes, for those now wondering about //alternative// methods of entry, our hips have a similar structure." "There's a bit more I could cover, but I think I've rambled enough for now. Let's at least get you something a little more interesting to look at, huh?" she says. You swallow nervously as she reaches down and untucks her shirt from her skirt, pulling the fabric up to rest scrunched up below her breasts then pulling her skirt a little lower, fully exposing her belly. While she's far from fat, she has a little more pudge than it looked like with her clothes on. "Not what I meant by the way," she says with a little laugh. "Are you ready for your trip dear?" "I guess I'm as ready as I'll ever be..." you say, taking a step closer to her. "Alright, so, just to be clear, I'm going to swallow you starting with your arms--it's your job to keep the camera rolling and the shot clear while you're in there, got it?" Bora says. You nod. She steps off to the side so that she's not in the way of the projector at all, motioning for you to follow. "Now for the rest of you, since I won't be able to talk until she's down, here's what I want you to be focused on," Bora says. "When I start to eat her, watch the back of my mouth. You should see my uvula recede and the opening down to my throat get much wider, signs that my body has acknowledged the large meal I'm about to send it. Once the swallowing begins, I'll go slow. I want you to be shifting your focus between me and the video stream. Take this unique opportunity to watch the peristalsis of my esophagus in action, observing how the walls contract and relax around her, inching her forward towards my belly, but I'd also like you to watch what's happening on the outside with a more critical eye than you might normally. Pay attention to how my body stretches and shifts to accomodate her entry, really take in the process." She puts a hand on your shoulder. "Ok then, showtime. Don't worry, you saw me take the antacid, you'll be fine!" With that final reassurace, she gently grabs your forearms and guides them toward her mouth. You sigh and make sure you have a firm grip on the phone, doing your best to maintain a nice angle of the inside of her mouth. Easing your hands inside, she makes her first swallow, dragging you and the phone down into her throat. You glance over at the projection on the board while your head is still free, watching the recording of the inside of her esophagus, a rippling tunnel of pink flesh illuminated by the phone's light. It almost feels like it's beckoning you. Then another swallow pulls you a little deeper in, reminding you that being sent down that passage is indeed your fate here. You close your eyes as she drags your head into her mouth, her tongue sliding across your face. True to her word, she goes agonizingly slow. Your body slides into her just an inch at a time, squeezed tight by her esophagus as waves of pressure wash over you again and again. On top of being uncomfortable, you start to feel embarrassed thinking about everyone watching this happen to you. Eventually, you feel your hands push into somewhere more spacious, and a little while later your head follows suit and emerges into her stomach. Here, things get a little more interesting for you, as the light from the phone fully illuminates the entire chamber. It's bizzare, a pink, wrinkled cavern that twitches and shifts as more of you slides into its embrace. The walls are slick and glistening, tiny drips of what must be acid occasionally sliding down to a tiny puddle at the bottom. With the antacid at work, it doesn't feel any different than the saliva already coating you from your slow journey through her mouth. You do your best to keep a clear angle on the camera as the rest of your body slowly but surely slides in to join you. "And there we //*urp*//--sorry--go!" Bora says, leaning back and letting out a heavy exhale. "Our lovely volunteer has been neatly packed away into my belly, and my upper body has returned to its natural, beautiful state. Show your face to the camera dear, tell us how you're feeling!" She gives her gut a light smack, causing a brief, startling spasm to shake through the stomach walls. "Uh, I feel... weird?" you say, turning the phone around to face the camera. You probably aren't getting the most flattering angle of yourself since you're being careful not to shine the flashlight directly in your eyes. "It's tight, slimy, and gross in here. No offense." "That's correct! Our stomachs are not exactly designed to be a pleasant place for living things to be, that's why you get extra credit for this," Professor Bora says with a laugh, giving her belly another pat. Her voice is somewhat muffled. "Lucky for you, but unfortunate for the demonstration, I took an antacid before putting you in there, so I can't properly show all of the functions of the stomach. Namely, how it would actually work to break down a meal of this size. You see, the high strength antacids we have at the school do more than just neutralize your stomach acid, they actively block part of the 'predator response'. Because most of mechanical digestion is bypassed when something is swallowed whole, chemical digestion goes into overdrive to compensate. Normally, the stomach would begin to secrete an excessive amount of a much more potent acid to deal with something as large as our volunteer, aiming to fully submerge it so that it can be dissolved rather than the subtler approach taken with normal food. Fun fact: This ramped up acid production is why your stomach becomes so much noisier when you swallow live prey!" "I'd rather not be thinking about that right now," you say, gently pushing out at the wrinkled flesh in front of you. "Oh don't you worry, you're fine!" Bora says, giving you a reassuring pat. "If you turn your attention to the board, you can see that my stomach //is// still active--the walls are batting her around a bit and they're still nice and wet. But it's behaving how it would against normal food since the signal that this is more than just a sandwich has been blocked. Even if my acid //wasn't// neutralized, it could take days for anything to be accomplished at this pace, and it's unlikely that she would ever be fully digested. So until that wears off, it's more like a warm, slimy massage!" "It's still not pleasant," you chime in. "Just hang in there, we've got a little bit more to get through," Bora says. The demonstration continues with Professor Bora instructing you on where to point the camera as she discusses the various different parts and functions of the stomach. It's pretty difficult to navigate your way around the cramped confines of her gut, especially when most of the things she wants you to focus on don't actually look that much different than the rest of the stomach walls. There's more than a little confusion and frustration as she tries to point you towards what she wants from the outside, using her hands to push in and guide you, but eventually you manage to work through everything she wants. The last thing she has you focus on is a small, tight ring of scrunched up muscles near your feet. "And this here is the end of our journey in the stomach!" Bora says. "This little guy is my pyloric sphincter, it handles moving things from the stomach down into the small intestine once they've been adequately broken down." You feel a pit forming in your stomach as you stare at the opening, which slightly twitches every now and then. She said you were done with the stomach...

After briefly talking about the role of the tongue, she starts to move into more interesting territory. "But what we're really worried about here is the functions of the digestive tract as it relates to swallowing large, living prey, of course.

"I hope you got that on camera," Bora snickers, nudging <<if _claire>>Claire<<else>>the girl who volunteered<</if>>. She clears her throat before continuing. "Once prey has passed into the esophagus, the collarbone and ribcage still remain as obstacles. The mechanism here is a simple one, and serves as one of the most fascinating physiological differences between human males and females. While men's ribs and clavicles are completely solid, we have segmented ones. Rather than being a single, solid bone, each rib, and clavicle, is made of several smaller bones connected by a special kind of cartilage. They're structured in such a way that when faced with internal pressure, they can safely shift and expand to make room, contracting back to their original position when the intrusion passes," she explains. "And yes, for those now wondering about //alternative// methods of entry, our hips have a similar structure." "There's a bit more I could cover, but I think I've rambled enough for now. Let's at least get you something a little more interesting to look at, huh?" she says. You raise an eyebrow as she reaches down and untucks her shirt from her skirt, pulling the fabric up to rest scrunched up below her breasts then pulling her skirt a little lower, fully exposing her belly. While she's far from fat, she has a little more pudge than it looked like with her clothes on. "Not what I meant by the way," she says with a little laugh. "Are you ready for your trip dear?" <<if _claire>>"Yeah! I've never been inside someone with a light before, this is actually gonna be interesting," Claire replies, stepping closer to Professor Bora.<<else>>"This was a mistake..." the volunteer says with a sigh.<</if>> "Alright, so, just to be clear, I'm going to swallow you starting with your arms--it's your job to keep the camera rolling and the shot clear while you're in there, got it?" Bora says. <<if _claire>>Claire<<else>>The girl<</if>> nods. The professor steps off to the side so that she's not in the way of the projector at all, motioning for her to follow. "Now for the rest of you, since I won't be able to talk until she's down, here's what I want you to be focused on," Bora says. "When I start to eat her, watch the back of my mouth. You should see my uvula recede and the opening down to my throat get much wider, signs that my body has acknowledged the large meal I'm about to send it. Once the swallowing begins, I'll go slow. I want you to be shifting your focus between me and the video stream. Take this unique opportunity to watch the peristalsis of my esophagus in action, observing how the walls contract and relax around her, inching her forward towards my belly, but I'd also like you to watch what's happening on the outside with a more critical eye than you might normally. Pay attention to how my body stretches and shifts to accomodate her entry, really take in the process." She puts a hand on <<if _claire>>Claire<<else>>the volunteer<</if>>'s shoulder. "Ok then, showtime. Don't worry, you saw me take the antacid, you'll be fine!" With that final reassurance, you watch as the professor takes <<if _claire>>Claire<<else>>the volunteer<</if>>'s arms and carefully guides them towards her mouth, slowly taking in her hands, and with them the phone. You watch the display on the board as it descends into the slick confines of Professor Bora's mouth, observing the changes she said would happen. She makes her first swallow, briefly causing the camera feed to black out as it's squeezed tightly by her muscles. It quickly returns with a new view: the rippling tunnel of her esophagus, illuminated by the phone's light. In a constant rythm, the walls of pink flesh squeeze in tight, almost obscuring the camera, then relax and pull back again. With each contraction, her prey shifts a little deeper down. Soon the camera comes to the sphincter leading into her stomach, and you watch with fascination as it pushes through the tight opening into her waiting stomach. You shift your attention to Bora herself, <<if _claire>>Claire<<else>>the volunteer<</if>> in past her chest at this point. She's taking things very slowly, starting to lift up her prey as she sinks deeper and deeper into her body, just an inch or two at a time. You watch her belly starting to slowly balloon out with your classmate, taking note of how her chest has also temporarily expanded to allow her meal through. Back on the video projection, you can see your classmate starting to curl up inside the slimy chamber of the professor's gut. For a while the angle of the shot is very strange, and frequently gets obstructed by the stomach walls, but once the last of her is in things stabilize. "And there we //*urp*//--sorry--go!" Bora says, leaning back against her desk and letting out a heavy exhale. "Our lovely volunteer has been neatly packed away into my belly, and my upper body has returned to its natural, beautiful state. Show your face to the camera dear, tell us how you're feeling!" She gives her gut a light smack, causing the walls of her stomach to visibly shake a little on the video feed. <<if _claire>>Claire flips the phone around to look into the camera, briefly blinding herself with the flashlight. She's scrunched up with her knees by her head, her hair damp and messy from the trip down and her whole body slick with saliva. Glistening, wrinkled flesh frames her in the shot, twitching and shifting around her. "Hey everyone!" she says, grinning and waving at the camera. You can see the professor's gut shifting a bit from her movement out of the corner of your eye. "It's super gross in here!"<<else>>The girl inside of her slowly turns the phone around, careful not to blind herself with the flashlight. She's scrunched up with her knees by her head, her hair damp and messy from the trip down and her whole body slick with saliva. Glistening, wrinkled flesh frames her in the shot, twitching and shifting around her. She doesn't look very pleased with the situation. "I mean, I got swallowed. Everyone here probably knows the feeling," the girls says. "It's tight, slimy, and gross."<</if>> "That's correct! Our stomachs are not exactly designed to be a pleasant place for living things to be, that's why you get extra credit for this," Professor Bora says with a laugh, giving her belly another pat. "Lucky for you, but unfortunate for the demonstration, I took an antacid before putting you in there, so I can't properly show all of the functions of the stomach. Namely, how it would actually work to break down a meal of this size. You see, the high strength antacids we have at the school do more than just neutralize your stomach acid: they actively block part of the 'predator response'. Because most of mechanical digestion is bypassed when something is swallowed whole, chemical digestion goes into overdrive to compensate. Normally, the stomach would begin to secrete an excessive amount of a much more potent acid to deal with something as large as our volunteer, aiming to fully submerge it so that it can be dissolved rather than the subtler approach taken with normal food. Fun fact: This ramped up acid production is why your stomach becomes so much noisier when you swallow live prey!" <<if _claire>>"I don't know, it's still kinda noisy in here," Claire says, shifting a little against the stomach walls.<<else>>"Can you please not talk about that while I'm in here?" the volunteer says, pushing out against the walls a little to try and give herself some space.<</if>> "Oh don't you worry, you're fine!" Bora says, giving her a reassuring pat. "If you turn your attention to the board, you can see that my stomach //is// still active--the walls are batting her around a bit and they're still nice and wet. But it's behaving how it would against normal food since the signal that this is more than just a sandwich has been blocked. Even if my acid //wasn't// neutralized, it could take days for anything to be accomplished at this pace, and it's unlikely that she would ever be fully digested. So until that wears off, it's more like a warm, slimy massage!" <<if _claire>>"You know, in a weird way you're not wrong. Without the burning I could almost maybe say this feels nice," Claire says, curiously running a hand along one of the stomach walls. "Still too cramped though."<<else>>"That doesn't make me feel any better..." the girl in her stomach mumbles.<</if>> "Just hang in there, we've got a little bit more to get through," Bora says. The demonstration continues with Professor Bora pointing out and discussing the different parts and functions of the stomach, having <<if _claire>>Claire<<else>>the volunteer<</if>> struggle to move the camera around and show what she's talking about. It's a little gross being able to see what it looks like in there, but you find yourself captivated at the same time. You also count yourself luckier by the second that you didn't volunteer. "And this here is the end of our journey in the stomach!" Bora says, pointing at the video. The camera is aimed at a small, tightly sealed ring of muscle near <<if _claire>>Claire<<else>>the volunteer<</if>>'s feet. "This little guy is my pyloric sphincter, it handles moving things from the stomach down into the small intestine once they've been adequately broken down." <<if _claire>>"I don't have to go through there... do I?" Claire says, giving the opening a gentle poke. Professor Bora flinches a little in response. "Oh no dear, don't worry," Bora says with a little laugh.<<else>>"We, uh, we're done now, right?" the girl inside her asks. "Please tell me that's the end." "Haha! Don't worry dear, I think I've put you through enough for today," Bora says with a little laugh.<</if>> "We're only worried about the early digestive system for now, we'll get to what's on the other side of that later in the semester." After a brief pause, she claps her hands together. "Alright then, that about does it for our demonstration! I hope you all found this at least a little bit interesting. And let's give our lovely volunteer a round of applause for making it possible!" Only a handful of people actually clap, and a few laugh, but she still seems satisfied. "Now, you don't have to watch me throw her up if you don't want to--you're dismissed! Have a wonderful day!" Not particularly interested in seeing <<if _claire>>Claire<<else>>the girl<</if>> get released, you quickly get up from your seat and head for the door. <<AttendAnatomy>>\ [[Leave Class->September 5th- Between Classes]]

<<Time 10.5>><<if $malloryRel > 0>>As you're heading out the door, Mallory catches up to you, seeming eager to talk. "Hello again, $name! Always good to see a friendly face still holding out here," she says with a smile, matching your pace so that she can walk next to you. "What did you think of class? Jordan is much more of a character than I expected, she seemed to be enjoying her demonstration a little //too// much." "Hey Mallory! I thought it was pretty interesting actually, never expected this class to keep me engaged," you reply. <<if $leahRel > 0>>"Where did Leah go? I thought she was with you." "Oh you know her<<else>>"Where are you headed?" "You know I was thinking<</if>>--" "Mallow!" someone calls out, cutting her off. Mallory stops dead in her tracks and her expression goes completely blank. Approaching the two of you is a fairly tall girl with short brown hair. "Shoot girl, I thought I'd seen you around campus! It's me Bailey!" You notice one of Mallory's eyes twitch. "I'm sorry, I can't say I know you," she says, turning to the girl with a smile that doesn't reach her eyes. "You must have mistaken me for someone else... Bessie, was it?" "Aw c'mon now, from back in middle school, remember? I know it's been a hot minute, but there's no way I'd forget 'ol Mallory Weiss!" Bailey says with a big grin. "I guess maybe you don't go by--" "You really must be thinking of someone else, I'm afraid," Mallory cuts in, raising her voice. "I was homeschooled before high school, and I definitely don't remember you." "Seriously?" Bailey says, putting her hands on her hips. "You telling me I knew a totally different Mallory that just happened to look a lot like you?" Mallory sighs, briefly closes her eyes, then opens them again with a more genuine smile. "Sorry $name, we'll have to catch up some other time. I think me and Bailey are going to need some time to work this situation out," she says. She gives Bailey a light tap on the arm and starts walking off down the hall. "Come on, if I really do know you, maybe you can jog my memory." You raise an eyebrow as the two of them walk off together, but shrug off the encounter. Heading in the opposite direction as her, you continue on your way back to your dorm, thinking about how you want to spend your time between classes. It's a little early, but it might be best to just grab lunch now.<<else>>You make your way out of the room and step out into the hall, heading back to your dorm.

"But, uh, if you come with me I can keep you safe." You squint your eyes at the offer.

"Alright then, with that, I think I've put you through enough for today," Bora says with a little laugh, giving the back of your head a gentle pat. "We're only worried about the early digestive system for now, we'll get to what's on the other side of that later in the semester." You let out the breath you didn't realize you were holding after recieving confirmation that the demonstration is over, relief washing over you. After a brief pause, Professor Bora claps her hands together. "That about does it for our demonstration! I hope you all found this at least a little bit interesting. And let's give our lovely volunteer a round of applause for making it possible!" You can faintly hear maybe one person clap, accompanied by muffled laughter, but Bora still seems satisfied. "Now, you don't have to watch me throw her up if you don't want to--you're dismissed! Have a wonderful day!" The room seems to empty pretty quickly, the loud clatter of people getting up and shuffling into the hall quickly rising and fading. You feel Bora take a few steps forward, then gently wrap her arms around the lower part of her belly. "Okay, just relax for a moment dear, I'm going to get you out," she says softly. You take her advice, relaxing your body other than maintaining a tight grip on her phone. A moment later, she starts to squeeze in and up on you, accompanied by an odd twitch from her stomach muscles. With practiced efficiency, you quickly find yourself pulled back up into her esophagus, well before the pressure had even reached an uncomfortable level. In no time at all, you're gently sliding out of her lips and onto the cold tiles of the classroom floor. "There," Bora says, clearing her throat. "You know, regurgitation is never something I expected to be skilled at, but I suppose a lot of strange things happen when you work at this school," she adds with a laugh. "How are you holding up?" "I think I'm alright," you reply, getting back up onto your feet. You're soaked from head to toe in her saliva and other bodily fluids, but don't feel particularly worse for wear. You carefully peel open the plastic bag and hold it out toward her. "Uh, here..." "Thank you!" she says, retrieving her phone, then plucking the bag from your hands with two fingers and dropping it in the trash. "You did an excellent job, I appreciate the assistance. I know it's not the most pleasant role to have to play!" She quickly heads over to her desk and retrieves something, then returns to you. "I'm sure you'll be able to just stop back at your dorm, but take this just in case." She hands you <<if $knowUniform>>a bag with a school uniform in it.<<else>>a plastic bag with clothes in it. It looks like it must be a school uniform.<<set $knowUniform to true>><</if>> Then she holds out something else for you to take: a small candy bar.<<set $wardrobeUniform to true>> "You can have this too for being such a good sport," she giggles. "Thanks again dear, enjoy the rest of your day!" @@color:lime;Professor Bora really appreciated you volunteering!@@<<set $boraFavor += 1>> <<AttendAnatomy>>\ You head out into the hall and quickly start to head back to your dorm, eager to get cleaned up after the demonstration. There are unfortunately quite a few others in the halls on their way to class, many seeming to be amused at your current state, but you make it back without any issue. Once inside, you immediately head into the shower to get cleaned up, dropping the uniform and candy you got from Bora onto your bed. You don't waste much time, just quickly rinsing yourself off. After a couple minutes, you step out and get changed into a fresh set of clothes, feeling refreshed. Although it's a little early, with the way your classes are set up you feel like it would be smart to go get lunch now. [[Head to lunch->September 5th- Lunch]]

<<Time 10.5>><<set $anatomyDemonstration to 2>>With a sigh, you nudge the opening with one of your toes. The stomach walls twitch in response, almost like Bora flinched, and the sphincter briefly opens a little. Grimacing, you take a deep breath, lean forward, and start to push your arms through, keeping a tight grip on the phone. "Whoop! Oh don't worry dear you--//Hmmmph//," you hear Bora's muffled voice start to say, but you're too focused on your unpleasant task to pay attention. The ring of muscle gently opens to accept you, though it's a very tight fit. Your hands push through into the marginally looser passage on the other side, smooth walls clamping tight around your forearms as you do your best to shift yourself deeper into your teacher. Bora lets out another small grunt of discomfort when your shoulders breach through the sphincter. She gives her belly a few light smacks in quick succession, which you take as a sign she wants you to pick up the pace. It's difficult to get much leverage from your current angle, so you use your free hand to try and pull yourself forward. Between that, pushing off of her stomach with your legs, and the light, rippling pressure starting to drag you forward, you manage to squeeze the rest of yourself down into her intestines. Somehow, her small intestine is even less comfortable than being in her stomach was. It's still just as slimy and gross, except now the walls are oppressively constricting instead of having a little stretch to them. You can still move, but it takes a serious effort, and even breathing seems a little difficult. "Ah, uh, ahem..." you hear Bora says. She gives you a surprisingly hard slap. "I suppose that's... good initiative... from our volunteer, there's still class time left and we shouldn't squander the opportunity. So, we'll do a quick preview of the lower digestive tract as well..." She sounds annoyed, and you feel a pit in your stomach as the realization hits that you didn't need to do this. "Something of her size will have breezed right past my duodenum, so we'll skip that for now. So... hmm, could you try to wipe the camera off for us in there?" You feel Bora prod you with one of her fingers. "Some of my breakfast seems to be trying to steal the show at the moment." You gag, having been trying to ignore the sludge you pushed through on the way in up until now. Still, you do your best to oblige, using your hand to wipe off the front of the bag the phone is in. The picture seems somewhat foggy still, but manageable. "I suppose that'll do... So! Our adventurous volunteer here has moved on into my small intestine," Bora says, resuming her instruction. You feel her gently running her hands along her belly for a little while to emphasize your change in position. "This is actually where the most digestion takes place, extracting and processing all of the nutrients after things have been melted down into a more manageable form by the stomach. If you look closely at the walls, you'll notice that they look a little 'fuzzy'. This is because they're coated in hundreds of little protrusions called villi! For something that's still whole like our volunteer they won't do anything other than maybe tickle, but under normal circumstances..." You start to mostly tune her out as she continues her lecture, finding it hard to pay much attention with her voice so muffled and your surroundings so unpleasant. Thanks to the light of the phone, you're left constantly staring down the pink tube of flesh ahead of you, watching as the walls shift and contract, subtly dragging you deeper. It's a little mesmerizing. The walls themselves are strange--like Bora was saying, they look almost fuzzy, or like they're made out of tiny beads instead of being completely solid. Touching them with the bare skin of your hands, it almost has the consistency of a wet carpet. As you listen to Bora drone on, you're gently massaged by the plush, constricting tunnel of her small intestine. She doesn't seem to need you to aim the camera anywhere but forwards, so you're left as little more than a prop for this portion of the demonstration, occasionally jerked forward a little bit by Bora consciously moving you lower down. She doesn't seem to go into as much detail here as she did for the intended segments. "Alright, I think that about wraps things up for the small intestine, so if you'll give me a moment..." You feel Bora place her hands firmly on the sides of her belly and brace yourself. With a grunt, she starts to force you through her intestines at a much faster rate, the walls crushing in hard as you surge forward. After a short, but disorienting, trip, your hands bump into what must be the entrance to her large intestine. She lets out a heavy sigh as her muscles relax. "Whew, there we go... I'm a bit out of practice down there," she says with a little laugh. "Let's continue on to the last step of our journey..." She continues on to give a brief explanation of the connection between the small and large intestines before having you push through the sphincter. It's a pretty similar experience to when you made your way out of her stomach, although this time the space you enter into is a little less constricting. Not by a lot, but the extra breathing room is a relief. Unfortunately that's about the only thing that's improved. The walls have gone from the almost plush consistency of her small intestine to tough and ribbed, and the smell is absolutely foul. She apparently didn't have much to comment on here, as you hadn't even really registered that she was lecturing before you're pulled forward again. She manuevers you much more delicately than before, gently pulling you forward until one last sphincter comes into view. You come to a stop a few inches before your hands can make contact, and she seems to reflexively pull you back in a little deeper again and straighten her back after you move even a tiny bit, the ring of muscle ahead of you visibly tightening. You breathe a sigh of relief that this disgusting, unfortunately self inflicted, journey is almost over. "And here we are at the final stop of our journey through the body! I shouldn't have to explain to you what this guy is--or why you probably shouldn't be seeing mine for that matter, but we do things a little differently at this school," Bora says with a laugh. She gives you a pat through her belly. "The last step is for the leftover waste to be removed from the body, or in this case our entire volunteer. But I'm not going to make you watch that happen--you're all dismissed! I hope you enjoyed this extended demonstration, I'll see you next week!" You suddenly feel yourself get pulled back deeper into her colon, far enough for her anus to completely slide out of view. "Oh, and if any of you are friends with my lovely volunteer here: don't worry, you can have her back later!" Bora adds with another laugh. You can hear the sounds of the class filtering out into the hall through the muffling of Bora's flesh, followed by relative silence after the door to the room slams shut. There's a pause where only the occasional gurgles and groans from the body around you fill your ears, then you feel Bora... sit down. The clicking of a keyboard tells you she's working at her computer. You remain completely stationary in her bowels, the subtle motions of the walls around you not having any effect on you and Bora certainly not encouraging any movement herself. You give a solid poke to the nearest wall. "Um, professor? Are you going to--" "That was some stunt you pulled back there," she grumbles, cutting you off. "Couldn't wait to swim through my guts, huh? I know I can be alluring, but honestly. I specifically said we were doing the //early// digestive system and never instructed you to go this deep into me." "Uh, I'm sorry, I don't really want to be here either. I just misheard and thought I'd get it over with quickly..." you reply. "Well, I hope you've gotten comfortable in there, because now you're staying put for a while," she says, giving you a squeeze. "I'll let you out sometime before I leave campus, think of this as detention." "What?" you say, giving a hard shove to the walls of her intestine. "You can't keep me in here, it's disgusting! This is college, detention shouldn't even be a thing!" "//This// is for disrupting class and embarrassing me in front of my students," she says, raising her voice and giving you another quick squeeze. "And I'm being generous, I'm sure if I looked through the school code I could make an argument for qualifying what you did as violating me, which carries a much more permanent punishment. Understand?" "Yes, sorry," you quickly blurt out. "Good, now settle down and be quiet, I have work to do..." [[Settle down and be quiet->Volunteer- Passing the Time]]

<<Time 11>>Knowing that there's no way you'll be able to force your way out of a professor, you shut up and stay still. Your best bet at this point is to just do whatever she wants until you're released. But you're dreading the thought of potentially being stuck in here for hours<<if $analByMatilda>>, especially after what you went through with Matilda earlier in the week<</if>>. Outside, you can hear Bora typing away at her keyboard, starting to take care of some kind of work at the classroom desk. You settle into the walls around you, doing your best to attempt to get comfortable in the gross depths of her body. The video stream was terminated from Bora's end so you've turned off the phone screen, but, unfortunately, it won't respond to your touch through the bag so you're stuck with the flashlight illuminating your fleshy surroundings. As time passes, however, you're suddenly startled by the phone buzzing in your hand, jumping, or more like wriggling with your current situation, in surprise. Bora also seems to have been caught off guard by the sensation, as you feel her jolt up right after. She makes a noise that sounds sort of like a whimper. "What are you doing in there!?" she says, a mix of anger and surprise in her voice. She gives you a light smack through her belly. "You, um, got a text," you reply. "Son of a.... of course you have //my// phone in there with you..." she grumbles, then sighs. "Just don't read whatever it was, that's my private business." But there isn't really much else to look at inside of her and the notification is staring you right in the face, so of course you already have. It's not like she'll have any way of knowing. It's from someone entered in her phone as "Pib" with a heart after it asking how her demonstration went. "Hmm, actually, I think I want that back sooner than you're going to be let off," Bora says. You feel her stand up, then crouch down a bit. She starts to inch you forward with her inner muscles. "Just a moment..." She grunts and seems to shiver a little as you come to a stop with your arms in her rectum like during the demonstration. You're face to face with the exit again, the wrinkled flesh twitching every time you move even a little. "Okay, I want you to push the phone forward as far as you can and let go of it," she says. You hear some shuffling outside. You do as you're told, dropping the phone and nudging it forward through the tunnel of flesh as far as you can manage to stretch your arms. With the thinner edge facing forward, you're able to get it to just barely reach the end. You're briefly squeezed by a seemingly involuntary wave of pressure in reaction to the contact. Bora gives a sigh, or maybe it was a deep breath, before starting to retrieve the object. She shifts her stance a little again, then her muscles deeper down tighten hard around your lower body. A comparatively lighter pressure starts to squeeze the phone forward, her pucker loosening and starting to stretch around its form, giving you brief glimpses of freedom. It's a slow process, and you oddly find yourself blushing as you watch it get worked out from the inside. Once it's about halfway free, she grabs the outside part and gently pulls it out. Her sphincter quickly returns to its tight seal, leaving you in darkness. With a sigh of relief, Bora stands back up straight, followed by the same light shuffling you heard before. She takes a step, then seems to remember your current positioning and quickly drags you back deeper into her body. Once you're in a more manageable spot for her, she resumes walking the short distance she intended. "Thank you for not trying to escape, I appreciate it. Not enough to let you off easy though," she says, giving her belly a gentle pat. "I'll have to make sure they take care of the garbage in here before that bag starts to stink up the place..." "Hold on, I just... Did you do that right in the classroom?" you ask. "Yes, no one else is here right now," Bora replies. "Besides, these rooms are no strangers to indecency." "Uh, fair enough I guess..." you say. Not long after reclaiming her phone, Bora goes on the move. You can feel your surroundings softly shaking with every footstep. Combined with the occasional ripple of pressure that squeezes down on you, it's actually bizzarely relaxing in a way. She seems to stop in one of the bathrooms to wash her hands, then heads upstairs. After a lot of walking, you hear the click of a door opening, then your world shifts as she sits down again. "Welcome to my office, it's not often I have students in here," she says, chuckling to herself. She stays seated for a long time, occasionally shifting her position a little but remaining in whatever seat she plopped down in for what feels like hours. Since you're at her mercy here, you're a little relieved to no longer be holding her phone in your face and having the temptation to check the time. You'll get out when you get out. At first you assume she's doing work, but after a while you realize you don't hear anything like typing and she's been leaning back for most of the time. Listening closer to the sounds outside, you come to the conclusion she's actually just watching TV. A brief fit of laughter shortly after having that thought, combined with the fact that she seems to be absentmindedly rubbing her belly, confirms this for you. You're stuck sitting awkwardly quiet in her bowels as she enjoys her down time, afraid of annoying her any more than you already have. Eventually, the faint sound of the TV disappears and she stands back up with a grunt. "Been a while since I've <<if $fat > 34>>had to lug around this much extra weight<<else>>lugged someone around like this<</if>>," she huffs, stepping out of her office from the sounds of it. "You're gonna give me a workout..." She heads off down the hall, your world once again lightly bouncing around with her footsteps. This time it doesn't take her long to arrive at her destination. You hear her start to talk with someone. "Heyyy Pib!" she says in a cheery voice. Your ears perk up a little, recognizing the name from the message you definitely didn't read earlier. "Hope your class went well." "O-Oh, hello Jordan! You're, um, you're looking a little rounder than usual," a voice replies with a nervous laugh. <<if $metProfSteria>>It's hard to tell for sure through the muffling of Bora's insides, but you're pretty sure it's Professor Steria.<<else>>You don't recognize whoever it is.<</if>> "Did you forget to do something?" "Oh come on, you know you love it when I look like this," Bora says in a sly tone. "Jordan! There's a student present!" <<if $metProfSteria>>Steria<<else>>'Pib'<</if>> blurts out, flustered. "Or, um, at least I assume..." Bora giggles and takes a seat on something. "You worry too much. But yes, this is $name $last with me. You won't believe what she pulled earlier..." She rests a hand on her belly as she gives a quick explanation of what happened during the demonstration. "Oh B--//Jordan//," <<if $metProfSteria>>Steria<<else>>Pib<</if>> says, clearing her throat. "I'm so sorry, I know I would have been so embarrassed if I were in your shoes..." "Thanks Pib, sometimes it's tough having to play it cool to all the students," Bora sighs. You briefly feel something push against the front of her belly as she leans forward a little. <<if $steriaFavor > 0>>"But... $name $last you said? She seemed like such a nice girl when I met her, and I, uh, guess I know why she wasn't in class today..." Steria says. "I'm sure this was just an unfortunate misunderstanding Jordan, I think she's already had enough punishment just being in there in the first place." "Yes, I didn't want to be down here, I just thought it was part of the demonstration!" you blurt out. Steria lets out a little surprised yelp at your sudden comment, but luckily neither of them seem bothered by the fact you were eavesdropping. "I suppose you're probably right..." Bora sighs. Then she laughs a little. "Besides, I can't exactly give this demonstration to my second class if she's still hanging around."<<else>>"Hmm... $name $last you said? I, uh, guess that explains why she wasn't in my class just now<<if $survivalA is 0>>. Not last class though...<<else>>...<</if>>" <<if $metProfSteria>>Steria<<else>>Pib<</if>> says<<if $survivalA is 0>>, giving you a poke through Bora's gut<</if>>. "<<if $swim1Passed>>She's a great swimmer you know, shame she's causing trouble... <</if>>Although... don't you think anal detention is a little harsh for her first offense? You're usually pretty lenient." "Well, it would have been normal detention if she hadn't //put herself// there." "That makes sense... but still, it's been a few hours since your class, I think she's probably had enough by now." Bora sighs. "You're probably right... Besides, I can't exactly give this demonstration to my second class if she's still hanging around."<</if>> "Hopefully your second volunteer is, um, less spirited," <<if $metProfSteria>>Steria<<else>>Pib<</if>> says with a gentle laugh. "Oh, I'll be sure to be very clear this time," Bora laughs. She gets back onto her feet and leans forward for a brief moment, then stands back up straight. "I'll catch up with you later Pib, I've got to get going now if I want to let her out and make it to my class in time." "O-Of course, I'll see you later!" <<if $metProfSteria>>Steria<<else>>Pib<</if>> replies, suddenly sounding flustered. You're pretty sure you hear her whisper something else, followed by Bora giggling, but you can't make much sense of the exchange from inside your intestinal prison. Bora soon takes off walking again, on her way to finally put an end to this ordeal from the sounds of it. [[Freedom...->Volunteer- Punishment End]]<<set $boraInfo1 to 1>>

<<set $metJanet to true>>"Well shit, thanks for the warning," you say. You're a little skeptical about why she wants you to follow her, but<<if $metZoey>> you're more worried about dealing with Zoey again than whoever this girl is<<else>> she really doesn't seem very threatening<</if>>. "Uh, what's your plan?" The girl's face immediately lights up. "I know a place we can hide, come on," she says, heading back down the hall the way that you just came from. "I'm Janet by the way. We should move quick." You follow behind her, matching her pace. Despite what she said, she's actually almost going slower than your normal walking pace. You look her over as you move, still not sure if you totally trust her. "So is this the part where you reveal the hiding place is your stomach and try to eat me?" you ask, half joking. "No, this is to keep me safe too!" she says with a lazy smile. Her response seems genuine enough, and you surprisingly still aren't getting a sense that she's a threat. She seems lethargic, not like a predator getting ready to strike. So, perhaps against your better judgement, you follow along as she stops at an empty classroom and has you enter first. "Alright, here we are," she says, closing the door behind you. "So are we just hiding out in a classroom? I could have thought of that, I thought you had a serious plan here," you say, quickly glancing around the room to make sure you're alone. "Not exactly, we just needed some privacy. Get in," she says. You turn around to face her, immediately freezing with a stunned look on your face. She's standing in front of the door with one hand lifting up the front of her skirt, the other finishing pulling her panties down to her thighs. "U-Um, excuse me!?" you say, your face turning red. "You can hide in my womb," she explains, almost seeming like she's confused that you don't understand the situation. She uses one hand to part her lower lips for emphasis. "You'll be totally safe in there, and with you inside of me Zoey won't be able to touch //me// either. Trust me, you'll be fine, and you won't have to worry about a thing." [[Go along with it->Unbirthed by Janet- Morning]] [[Absolutely not->Between Classes- Turned Janet Down]]

<<Time 10.75>><<set $unbirthedByJanet to true>>"You're serious?" you say, looking her over with an eyebrow raised. "Yeah, of course, why wouldn't I be? It's a pretty foolproof plan, I've done it before," Janet says. She lets her underwear fall to her ankles and takes a step forward, leaving it behind. "It's nice and cozy in there too, you can just relax and not have to worry about anything for a while." You stay frozen in place, still bewildered by the situation. Janet smiles at you and widens her stance a bit. You swallow nervously. "Uh, so how do we do this then..." you finally say. Weirdness aside, it does seem to be a sound plan, and <<if $unbirthedByNadia>>you know from your experience with Nadia that it is completely safe and would be preferable to her eating you if you refuse<<else>>you have to imagine that she's just going to eat you if you don't go along with it<</if>>. Anyone this brazen must have been at the school for a while, and you don't want to risk tangling with a potential junior or even senior. <<if !$unbirthedByNadia>>Plus... you have to admit you're a little curious about how this works.<</if>> "Just stick your hands in and push forward, don't overthink it," she says, beckoning for you to come closer. "I'll help you along." You take a deep breath and walk up to stand in front of her. You're a few inches taller than her, but she quickly motions for you to kneel, bringing you almost face to face with her crotch. Cautiously, you start to bring your hands up. You give her a hesistant glance, but she just nods down at you and spreads her legs a little wider. With a sigh, you press your hands together and start to guide your fingers between her folds, pushing forward into the warm passage beyond. "Mmmh, there you go..." she says. She pats her belly with one hand and giggles. "Just keep pushing towards your shelter." You keep pushing in, finding less resistance than you were expecting. The slick walls of her vagina hug you tight, but they almost seem eager to accept you as you push forward. You have to wonder just how often she does this. Your fingers soon push through the tighter passage of her cervix and out into her womb, accompanied by a little squeak from Janet. As you pause to consider exactly what you're doing here, Janet shivers and places her hands on the back of your head. "Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest, my little bunny~" she says, nudging your head down a little lower. Suddenly, you feel her muscles clench around your arms, starting to drag you deeper in staggered waves of intense pressure. "Woah! Uh--//mmph!//" you try to say, starting to panic a little, but before you know it your head is being pulled through her lips. Janet moans as she forces you in deeper, starting to squat down over you and pull you up with her arms to expediate the process. At a shocking pace you feel yourself surge deeper into her, your upper body starting to curl up in her womb. You can hear her panting and softly moaning as she pulls you in, the walls along the entrance seeming to grow slicker the more of you slides through. Before long you lose contact with the ground, and things seem to slow. "Just... a little... more..." Janet pants, gripping your feet as she pushes you deeper. Soon, you feel the humid embrace of her insides wrap around your toes, and you're sealed away from the outside world. Janet stands back up and leans forward to rest on one of the desks as the last of you slides into her womb, panting heavily and slightly trembling. "Ah... hah... There we go. Nice and snug and safe.~" You can feel her gently massaging her belly, light points of pressure rubbing against you through the walls of her womb. You stay silent at first, taking in the situation you've placed yourself in. <<if $unbirthedByNadia>>It's just like you remember with Nadia, albeit maybe a little less tight. Cramped, but oddly soothing.<<else>>The walls are smooth and calm, not at all like the wrinkled, raging walls of a stomach. To your surprise, it's actually oddly soothing: the calming drum of her heartbeat above you and your confines feeling more like a snug embrace than a crushing pressure.<</if>> "How are you feeling in there?" she asks, giving you a gentle tap. You feel her stand up straight again, then move a little. There's some odd shifting and shuffling, which you realize must be her putting her panties back on, serving as a final reminder that you really are sealed in here. "It's cramped... and weird... but <<if $unbirthedByNadia>>manageable<<else>>it's not as bad as I was expecting honestly<</if>>," you reply. "...did you call me a... bunny, earlier?" "Mmh, most people get uncomfortable when I call them my baby, so instead you're my little bunny while I'm taking care of you~" she purrs, gently running a hand along your back through her belly. "Just sit tight and relax, you're safe and sound with me. And as long as you're filling me up, I'll be safe and happy too!" "I mean, we just need to do this for a little while until Zoey is out of the halls... right?" you say. You feel your heart drop as Janet just gives a soft laugh and hugs her belly. "There's a lot of danger at this school, just settle in and let your worries drift away~" she says. She starts to go on the move, and you hear the muffled sound of the classroom door closing behind you. [[What have you gotten yourself into...->Unbirthed By Janet- Afternoon]]

<<Time 10.75>>"Are you insane? No! Absolutely not!" you say, taking a step back. "You're not cramming me up your pussy!" "W-Well you don't have to be so vulgar," Janet pouts, crossing her arms. "It's nice in there, like a constant, warm hug. You'll be safe and comfortable and won't have to worry about anything. C'mon, why not?" "Because it's gross and weird?" you snap back. "And way too intimate for another thing, I don't even know who you are. Pull your underwear back up." "Pleease? I haven't had anyone in there since Tuesday..." she says, blushing a little. "A-And Zoey could still get you! Just for a little while?" "I'd rather just get eaten," you reply. "Aw, but I'm still full from breakfast... Alright fine, if you're really gonna be like this..." she sighs, finally pulling her panties back up. "What a waste, I've really gotta find someone soon..." She trudges back out into the hall, leaving you alone. You take a deep breath, still bewildered by the situation. You were preparing to have to fight your way out of this--Janet actually accepting your refusal and leaving is a pleasant surprise. After checking to make sure she's not hanging around for you to leave, you step out into the hall yourself. Shaking off the encounter, you continue on your way to lunch, heading upstairs and around just in case she was telling the truth about<<if $metZoey>> Zoey<<else>> this "Zoey"<</if>>.

You carefully skirt past her to continue down the hall, staying on alert in case she tries something. "B-But..! Um..." she mumbles, thrown off by your response. "Okay... I guess that does make sense. Glad I could help..." She sighs and starts to walk off down the hall you just came from, mumbling something to herself. You shrug off the encounter, relieved that it was that simple to avoid whatever she had planned. Just in case she was actually telling the truth about <<if $metZoey>>Zoey<<else>>someone on the hunt<</if>>, you head down towards the dorm hall and upstairs to get to lunch rather than through the lobby.

There's no way you'd fall for such an easy trick. "Like I'd actually buy that." "W-Wait but I'm not..." the girl says, trailing off with a sigh. "I guess I'll find someone else." She starts to walk off down the hall, and you faintly hear her add: "You really shouldn't go that way though..." You shrug and shake your head, ignoring the strange girl as you head down the main hall. It seems pretty deserted, no one else coming or going this way, and no sign of <<if $metZoey>>Zoey<<else>>the girl you were warned about<</if>>. That is, until a panicked girl comes barreling past you just as you enter into the lobby. You take a few more steps into the room despite the warning sign. <<if $eatenByZoeyMulti and $ateAshley>>\ "YOU!" you hear Zoey shout before you even see her. The chubby blonde is storming right toward you, a wicked grin on her face. "Must be my lucky day." "Oh hey...," you say, starting to nervously back away. "Are we really gonna do this again?" "Shut it, lunch," she growls, quickly closing in on you. "You've been running free for way too long, it's time to get what you deserve. No friend to fight with, no Maeve and her stupid party rules. Just you," she licks her lips, "and me." <<if $sunnyRel > 1>>\ "Oof, don't let Maeve hear you say that Zoe," a familiar voice cuts in. Daring to look away from Zoey, you notice Sunny hurrying over to the two of you. "Word on the street is you're already on thin ice, it would really hurt the whole 'psycho killer' image you've got going if the queen just scooped you up one day." "I don't care. What the fuck do you want?" Zoey grunts, glancing over at the newcomer now that she has you backed up against the wall. You try to take the opportunity to make a break for it, but she grabs your upper arm tight and easily slams you back where she wants you. "Neither do I, in fact it pisses me off that she hasn't yet," Sunny says, inserting herself between you and grabbing your other arm. "What I do care about is you about to steal my lunch here. I've already got dibs on her." "Huh!?" you say, looking between the two of them as both tighten their grip. Sunny holds her free hand up to her mouth as if it would block you from hearing her. "She dissed the shades, you understand," she tells Zoey, not even close to whispering. From the angle you're at you're able to notice her glance over and wink at you behind her glasses. "Fuck off! This one's been mine since Monday," Zoey hisses, pulling hard on your arm. You start to get pulled away from Sunny, but she quickly yanks you back to relative safety. Both of your arms hurt. "Aw, you telling me the ogre actually lost a freshman during the massacre? That's pretty sad. But she's still mine." "I'm sick of your bullshit Sunny, you're not even a threat these days!" Zoey growls. "Get out of here before I put you down instead." It looks like Sunny's about to make some retort, but Zoey has had enough. She opens her mouth wide and quickly moves in to swallow your head. Just as she's close enough for you to feel her breath, Sunny slams into her side and pushes her away. Your relief is short lived, however, as you quickly find that just because the blonde in front of you has changed, your fate hasn't. Sunny wastes no time swallowing your head instead. You're briefly stunned, not exactly sure how to handle the situation as you find your head squeezed into the slick tunnel of Sunny's throat. You hear a muffled sound of outrage from Zoey as she pulls on your arm to try and get you away from Sunny. Sunny, meanwhile, swallows you a little deeper and gives a light tap to your free arm. Getting the hint, you snap out of your confusion, realizing you're much better off in Sunny's gut than Zoey's under the current circumstances where those seem to be your only choices. You quickly lift your free hand up and feed it into Sunny's mouth yourself, doing what you can to shake off Zoey's grip on the other. You let out a grunt of pain as you slowly slide deeper into Sunny's body. Zoey seems to have no intention of letting you go even if it means ripping your arm straight off, and the angle it's at now with Sunny still trying to swallow you down despite her is making her pulling all the more painful. But, you can feel Sunny slowly shifting to try and box her out as she works down your body, managing to push your arm back into a position where she can reasonably get it in. When Zoey's hand gets pulled past Sunny's lips with you, she finally relents and lets go. You hear the muffled sound of her roaring in outrage. With Zoey's interference dealt with, Sunny significantly picks up the pace. She grabs hold of your waist and eagerly gulps you down, lifting you up as she goes to expediate the process. In no time at all, your feet slide into the warmth of her body and you're sealed away into the relative safety of Sunny's stomach. "//*UUURRRP*// There we go, that's all I //*urp*// wanted," Sunny says, giving you a light smack. "Pretty rude to try and steal someone's meal like that, you know," she adds with a laugh, gently caressing her belly from below. "You're //DEAD// as soon as that belly's gone!" Zoey roars. You wince and feel Sunny stumble back as she gives her gut a shove. "I can't wait to put those stupid glasses of yours up on my wall.~" "Yeah, yeah, that's like //*urp*// the third time I've heard that line from you. Get some new material," Sunny says dismissively. "And try to calm down a little before you pop a vein. See you in class tomorrow!" You feel Sunny turn and start to walk away, your whole world bouncing gently with every step.\ <<else>>\ A part of you is tempted to try and taunt her more, but she really seems to mean business this time and your window for a possible escape is quickly closing...\ <</if>>\ <<elseif $eatenByZoeyMulti>>\ "Well well," an unfortunately familiar voice says.

"Sorry, do I know you?" "Don't play dumb with me brat," she hisses. A sadistic grin spreads across her lips and she lifts the front of her shirt up to put her stomach on display. "No one gets away from me and lives, it's time to go back where you belong.~"<<if $sunnyRel < 2>> Seeing her tattooed midriff instantly reminds you of how close you came to becoming one of those tally marks and your panic rises.

"Must have won Maeve's dumb contest, huh? Well, I've got another honor to give our 'freshman champion'," she laughs, pulling up the front of her shirt to show off her stomach. She points to the array of tattooed tally marks, then licks her lips. "Come join the hall of fame like you should have the other night."<<else>>"You look familiar, fresh meat," she says as she approaches. Then she gets a menacing grin. "Oh, you're blue sandal's roommate, aren't you? I told you you'd be mine, time to make good on that and put you where you belong." "Uh, are you... talking about Emma?" you say nervously, backing away from her. "I don't care what her name is," Zoey hisses. "Or yours. Because now," she says, lifting up the front of her shirt to put her tattooed stomach on display and licking her lips, "it's lunch."<</if>><<if $sunnyRel < 2>> She's closing in fast, and you don't like your odds if she manages to get her hands on you. Your only chance is probably to make a break for it before she gets the opportunity.<</if>>\ <<else>>\ You don't get far before you notice someone else in the lobby staring you down and come to a stop. She immediately puts you on edge, and you start to worry that other girl had been telling the truth about a dangerous junior being on the hunt. You think of turning back and heading the other way, but she's already locked onto you. "More fresh meat already? Must be my lucky day," the girl laughs, starting to come towards you. Zoey, you're pretty sure the girl in the hall earlier had called her. "Didn't get scared off by the other snack that ran, huh? That's good, the stupid ones are more fun." "Hey, uh, I'm just trying to head to the dining hall..." you say, starting to back away. Now that she's closing in, you get a better look at her. She's a fairly chunky blonde with her hair tied back in a messy ponytail. She's wearing a slanted mauve tank top that leaves a good amount of her practically pot-bellied midriff exposed. Her face is intimidating--dark lipstick, a nose ring, and unsettling eyes. They're mostly a deep blue, but large patches of light brown cut in on both of her irises. "Ha, but you're already right where you need to be for lunch!" she says with a menacing grin. She licks her lips and lifts up the front of her shirt to put her stomach on display. This reveals a new, disturbing detail you hadn't noticed: she has a sizeable array of tally marks tattooed on her belly. "I even saved you a seat."<<if $sunnyRel < 2>> She's closing in fast, and you can tell this isn't someone you want to be messing with. If she gets her hands on you, you don't see yourself making it out.

Relief washes over you as you recognize the voice, and spot your sunglass-clad savior quickly approaching from behind Zoey. "What the hell do you want, Sunny? I'm busy," Zoey growls, letting go of her shirt and clenching her fists. She keeps her eyes locked on you, not giving Sunny any attention until she steps out between the two of you. <<if _zoeySunny>>"Yeah, busy //stealing my lunch// from what I can see. I thought we went over this the other day, I've got dibs on this one," she says, stepping closer to you and putting her hands on her hips. "Hah, you weren't even at the party bitch<<if !$trialParticipant>>, and neither was she<</if>>," Zoey says, scowling. "I knew it was bullshit the first time, you just like to make friends with the food." "Yeah well sometimes plans don't work out, I'm getting around to eating her //now// instead," Sunny says. "So go ahead and find someone else, I'll take things from here." "You know what? Prove it then," Zoey sneers. "Eat her right now."<<else>>"Yeah, busy //stealing my lunch// from what I can see. I've got dibs on this one," she says, stepping closer to you and putting one hand on her hip. She brings the other up to her mouth as if it would block you from hearing her. "She dissed the shades, you understand," she tells Zoey, not even close to whispering. "Huh!?" you blurt out. From the angle you're at you're able to notice Sunny glance over and wink at you behind her glasses. "So go ahead and find someone else, I'll take things from here," she continues. "Bull. Shit." Zoey says, narrowing her eyes. "I know you, bitch, you're just making friends with the food again." She grins. "So you know what? Prove it to me. Eat her right now."<</if>> "Alright, bet," Sunny says without missing a beat. She immediately turns, grabs your shoulders, and pulls your head down into her waiting mouth. You're stunned at first as you find yourself plunged into Sunny's warm, slick insides. Your shoulders are already being squeezed into her throat by the time the thought of potentially objecting to her method of "rescue" crosses your mind, but by now there's nothing you could do even if you wanted. She gulps you down with expert efficieny, grabbing your waist and lifting you up overhead as soon as she starts needing to bend over. In no time at all, you find yourself sealed off from the outside world and curling up into the slimy confines. You feel Sunny lean forward a little and seem to shift up onto her toes. "//*UUURRRRP*// Proof enough?" Sunny chuckles, bouncing back to a normal standing position. She gives her belly a gentle smack. "Thanks for being so reasonable for once Zoe, see you in class tomorrow!" "You better watch yourself, Sunny..." you faintly hear Zoey hiss, her voice muffled by Sunny's flesh. "You know you're not the threat you used to be."

You keep running, pushing yourself to move as quickly as you possibly can, not daring to look back or slow down for even a moment.

You take a stance, squaring up to her and trying to push down your feelings of nervousness. "Just you and me, huh? Sounds perfect to me. Let's do this," you tell her, holding her gaze. Half a second later, you start to deeply regret your show of bravado, seeing Zoey snort like a bull and charge at you, the look in her eyes making your instincts scream at you to flee.

By the time you've scrambled back to your feet, she's shaking her head and staring daggers at you, one hand reaching out to come at you again.

Seething with hatred in her eyes, she presses her face up to yours and opens her mouth wide, engulfing your face, her teeth scraping over your cheeks as she shoves you in. As you desperately try to push her off, she grabs a fistful of your hair and yanks it. //Hard.// Your yell of pain echoes around her gullet as Zoey pins you to the wall with her body, her bare potbelly squishing against you to hold you tight. She lets go of your hair as your head is pulled in and wrenches your right arm behind your back, dragging it up into a position that makes you wince. With a grip on your arm and your side, Zoey starts to hoist you farther up into her jaws, teeth catching and gripping you with each swallow she takes <<if $escaped > 1>>in a way no one else who's eaten you bothered with<</if>>. As her lips crest over your collarbone and reach your breasts, she relinquishes your arm and thrusts a hand under your top and bra, pinching and twisting your nipple to send another jolt of pain through your mind. You cry out in her throat as she forces your chest into her mouth, continuing down your body with more forceful gulps. Each of your arms is shoved between her lips, the junior cramming you down with no intention of stopping to taste. Once she's swallowed you up to your calves, teeth biting into your ankles with your feet all that remain hanging outside her body, you can feel two sharp tugs as first one, then both of your shoes are pulled off your feet. With one final gulp, she finishes you off, leaving you stunned in her stomach. "//*URRRP*//. And that's the way it goes," Zoey hisses, breathing hard. "Just try not to melt too fast in there. I don't plan on being done with you for a //long// time." A crushing pain drives home her words as pressure forces in on you from all sides, your teeth clenching in pain before she lets go. "You better not disappoint me, lunch. The more you let me down, the worse your friend is gonna get it, later."\ <<elseif _zoeyAnger is 1>>\ Zoey shoves you down to the ground, your head hitting the floor with a crack that darkens your vision and makes you see stars. Briefly dazed by the hit, you can do little to resist as she moves forward and pulls back her arm only to press her potbelly over your face, the squishy mass smothering your mouth and nose. You start to panic, frantically trying to shove her off but to no avail. You can hear and //feel// her stomach growling and gurgling against you, now, and the black tally marks are all you can see on the expanse of her pale gut. "//This// is where you're going back to, fresh meat. Where you //belong//," she hisses, grabbing your wrists and holding your arms down to put a stop to your struggling. "And once I've churned you up and flushed you down, your little friend's next on the menu. Don't worry, I'll be sure to show her just what happened to you first. Then she'll be along to join you on my waist..." Your vision is starting to go dark at the corners before she pulls her gut off of you, but you only have enough space to take a breath before she yanks your hands above your head and shoves them into her mouth, teeth clamping down on your forearms and sending a jolt of pain through you. Her swallows pulling you up into a semblance of a sitting position, Zoey reaches down for your top and, with an impressive amount of force, tears it nearly in half, letting the ruined cloth flutter to the floor. You yelp as she grabs at your bra and pulls it off as well, dropping it to the ground as your chest is bared for her to see. A couple chuckles vibrate around your arms as she slurps more of them down, forced to bend at the elbows and fold up in her throat as your head is tugged up to her lips. Then she reaches down to the waistband of your <<if ($outfit is "uniform") or ($outfit is "light")>>skirt<<else>>shorts<</if>> and drags both your bottoms and panties down your legs. "H-hey, what the fuck!" you protest, eyes going wide. But Zoey's own eyes are hungry and merciless as she growls around your arms. You crane your neck around searching for someone who could help, but the secretary's desk is empty and the only girls you can see are booking it in the other direction. And you don't have long to look before another wet gulp sounds out and your vision is engulfed in darkness, her tongue assaulting your face. She grabs your now bare ass in a double-handed grip and hoists you up higher, swallowing again to send your head and shoulders sliding down her throat. Your breasts are next to fill her mouth on your trip down, and though her licks are still enough to make you squirm uncomfortably, thankfully she doesn't pay them much attention and instead continues to quickly devour you. Your hands press down with a soft splash into her stomach acids as her swallows reach your hips, and after a hard smack to your rear she slurps it in, pulling in your thighs shortly after. "//*UURRRRP*//. Yeah, //there// we go," Zoey says with a satisfaction that's clear even from inside her gut. "And there's not a chance you're getting out this time. You and blue-sandal just got lucky, I wanted to enjoy my double so I took it easy on you two. But..." There's a sudden, painful pressure constricting you as her arms wrap tight around your form and squeeze. "This time, you are gonna //die//," she hisses, voice full of menace.\ <<else>>\ She bears down on you, forcing you down to the ground. A gasp bursts from your lungs as you slam into the floor. While you're struggling to recover, Zoey scoots a leg over your midriff and straddles your waist, making you grunt from her weight. She grasps you by both shoulders and tugs you up into a sitting position, staring you down with a toothy grin. The blonde leans in and drags her tongue in a wet trail up your cheek, chuckling lowly as you cringe away from her touch. "I've had better, but <<if $fat > 34>>at least you'll be filling<<elseif $breastSize > 34>>you've got enough //here// to make up for it<<else>>you'll do for a snack<</if>>," she taunts<<if $fat > 34>>, reaching down and squeezing the layer of chub on your midriff<<elseif $breastSize > 34>>, sliding a hand down to grope your right breast<</if>>. With that, she opens her jaws wide and pulls your head into her drooling maw, bathing your face in saliva as she greedily licks you over. She swiftly gulps you in down to your shoulders, her hands busy <<if $breastSize > 34>>sliding over your back underneath your top and unfastening your bra, the garment fluttering free as her fingers brush over your bare chest.<<elseif $fat > 34>> tugging down your <<if ($outfit is "uniform") or ($outfit is "light")>>skirt<<else>>shorts<</if>>, giving your panties a painful yank before dragging them off of your plump hips.<<else>>yanking a sneaker off your foot, your protesting kicks not doing anything to deter her.<</if>> You try to grab at her arms to slow her down but she shoves your hands away with effortless strength and wraps an arm around to pin them to your body, continuing to swallow you down with quick, powerful gulps. Your arms are quickly forced into her mouth and compressed into her tight throat, head pushing through the squishy tunnel of flesh and into an open cavern, which you can already hear growling as it awaits you. Zoey continues to swallow you down, slathering your chest and midriff in eager licks from her tongue. She's a messy eater, enough so that you can feel droplets of drool splattering your legs below. Even with her savoring your flavor, your predator packs the rest of you into her in hardly any time at all, sending your legs down to join the rest of you now curling up inside her belly. "//*UURRRRP*//. Ahh, not bad," you hear Zoey's muffled voice remark. You feel her pat your back through her belly as her stomach wraps tighter around you. "I could still go for seconds, but looks like everyone else was smart enough to scram. <<if $preyName is "dumb">>You really should have done that, fresh meat.<<else>>But one more tally's enough for now, don't you think, food?<</if>>" "Go ahead and squirm all you want," she tells you. She starts to walk, tremors shaking through your prison with every step. "This is only going to end one way for you, now..."\ <</if>>/* end swallowing */ /*post swallow */You can feel that Zoey is on the move, your confines wobbling slightly with each step she takes. If she's not focused on keeping you trapped, that gives you a better chance to escape than you'd have otherwise. With that in mind, you start to struggle with everything you've got, shoving against the slimy walls trapping you, punching and kicking and writhing around. You even try the heartbeat maneuver that Professor Slate told you about in class, straining with both arms and legs to try and stretch out the stomach. None of it seems to help. Zoey's stomach is clearly both resilient and experienced at holding prey in place, you realize with a sinking feeling, and even your efforts to expand her gut to irritate it are to no avail. When you try it, Zoey's stomach walls crush inward upon you to bring your struggles to a halt, squeezing painfully tight<<if _zoeyAnger is 2>> in the same sensation she'd inflicted right after swallowing you<</if>>. "Weak food like you doesn't stand a chance against my gut," Zoey taunts, letting out a small burp. <<if _zoeyAnger is 2>>You can feel a pressure on your back squeezing hard as her fingers grab a handful of your skin through the stomach wall, dull pricks of pain from her nails digging in. "You still don't get how //pathetic// you are compared to me. You ever getting out of me was a fluke. All that you're good for is to be my food, and now you're right back where you should be."<<elseif _zoeyAnger is 1>>"You ever getting out of me was a fluke.

Tired from struggling and pausing a moment to catch your breath, you hear an unmistakable moan from Zoey. <<if _zoeyAnger is 2>>"It's a great feeling, knowing you're gonna be broken down to bits like you deserve," she growls.<<elseif _zoeyAnger is 1>>"Mm~, maybe not //all// you're good for.

She's shown no signs of wearing down or coming close to throwing you up, all you seem to be doing is turning her on. Her stomach is gurgling more around you as she goes, fluids continuing to pour out and fill your acid bath, noxious fumes swirling around you that make you nauseous with every breath. There's a creaking noise from outside and you can feel yourself abruptly swivel around, Zoey letting out a pleased sigh. <<if _zoeyAnger > 0>>A crushing weight slams down onto you and squishes you flat, and with a wince you quickly realize that she's laying on top of her gut. "Go on and melt down inside me now, meat. I want to feel all your pathetic squirms until you're gone..."<<else>>You can feel a hand rubbing in small circles over your form, and Zoey lets out another audible moan. "What are you waiting for, lunch? I told you to keep squirming. Don't tell me you gave up already, are you really that weak?" She punctuates her words with a small slap that makes your surroundings vibrate.<</if>> Despite panic rising, as the acids do the same, it's hard to know what you //should// do in this situation. <<if _zoeyAnger is 2>>She clearly really wants you dead, and your struggles so far haven't been doing you any good.<<else>>Your struggles haven't done much yet, but right now she doesn't seem as focused on you as she could be.<</if>> Maybe if you tried struggling in a different way, you'd have a shot at actually escaping.<<if _zoeyAnger < 2>> On the other hand, it does seem like she's enjoying how you've //been// struggling a little too much.

But you can't give up and stay put either... In your desperation, an idea comes to you. You haven't had any luck getting her to throw you up, but maybe... You maneuver your arms around as best you can in the tight space, splashing around blindly in the pool of acid. After feeling around for several seconds, your arms starting to sting from the acids, you manage to locate what feels like the mouth to an exit. It gives way and stretches as you push, evoking a startled noise from your predator. "Ghh--fuck, what are you //doing// in there?" Zoey grunts from outside, voice strained. You take that as a sign that you're doing something right, and push your arms farther down, into a tight, slimy passage. "HEY!" Zoey roars as you push down. "Stop it, you brat! I'm gonna crush you into //paste//!" Her stomach walls clench in on you painfully, but you fight through the discomfort and continue struggling to move downward, seeing it as your only chance. When her muscles ease off for a moment, you take a breath and duck your head below the surface, aiming yourself down like you're swimming in a pool and managing to force the crown of your head into the entrance to her intestines. And, at that point... your movement stops abruptly, and you're stuck. Panic spiking in your chest, you start struggling harder to push through to the other side, but your hands frantically probe at the slimy intestinal walls and fail to find purchase. Your lungs are starting to burn now as you struggle desperately, and just as you think you're starting to push through, something gives out inside you. The air escapes from your lungs, and they fill with liquid, leaving you thrashing there as you start to drown. "How the hell did she--ugh, now I'm not even gonna be able to enjoy this until she's passed," Zoey complains in a pained voice, poking at her gut with your limp form within it as the acids continue to churn around your submerged body. You may not have escaped, but you at least managed to upset Zoey's stomach, even if that may not be much comfort for you as your consciousness fades away. <<include "Life Lost">>\ <</replace>><</link>><<if _zoeyAnger < 2>> <<link "Keep struggling how she wants">><<replace "#choice">>\ It's not the most pleasing idea, but you think your best option is to keep on struggling in the way that gets Zoey going. You start shoving against the unforgiving walls of her stomach again, pushing out with your hands, feet, and elbows, writhing around and arching your back against the walls. <<if _zoeyAnger is 0>>"Like this?" you ask.<</if>> "//Mm//, yeah, that's it," Zoey hums, a low chuckle rumbling around you a second later. "Most of my food's not so cooperative, but I don't mind. If you know your place, just keep on filling me up and letting my gut //fuck// you." You keep it up, trying not to put too much effort in to save some to escape, but you can feel yourself growing more tired especially with how you're splashing and moving your limbs through the rising acids. "//That's// right. Struggle," Zoey groans, and you're starting to hear a muted panting alongside her words. "Fight all you want, you're //nothing// compared to my gut. //Squirm//, you fucking meat!" Starting to feel like this was a bad idea, you don't see much other choice left here but to go for broke and keep on struggling. Who knows what she might do to punish you if you stopped right now. "Mmnn, ahhh~, //fuck// yes. Melt inside me, gurgle away in my gut!" Zoey cries out, and you can feel yourself lifted up off the bed briefly as her back arches before she slams her weight back down<<if _zoeyAnger is 1>> on top of you<</if>>. "I don't suppose there's any chance you could let me go now?" you ask once it sounds like she's done. "Haah... haah... are you serious?" Zoey lets out a cackle, and you feel a rough shove from outside. "Why the hell would I //ever// let food out of me? All I want from you is to digest and die, like any good little lunch should. So go ahead and do that, now. I can still keep enjoying you for a while longer~." "You-!" Teeth clenched, you throw everything you have left into one more attempt to escape her, pummeling her and shoving upwards as best you can. But with how you've been struggling, you just don't have enough energy to put in a concerted effort, and all you have to show for your efforts is a small burp that escapes her mouth. You sag down, worn out and defeated, and feel the acids starting to rise over your head as Zoey taunts you once more. "That's all I can get out of you, huh, lunch? Go ahead and digest for real, then. I've got the perfect spot to put your trophy up when you're done." <<include "Life Lost">>\ <</replace>><</link>><</if>><<if $ateAshley>> <<link "Threaten her with maeve">><<replace "#choice">>\ "Let me out!" you call to Zoey, teeth clenched.

Zoey falls silent. "What the hell do you have to do with Maeve?" she asks in a low voice, an edge to her words. <<if $samInfo1 < 2>>\ "I... uh..." You flounder briefly, wondering if you could have thought this through better. "Well, I won her party, like you said before! She wouldn't want you eating the freshman champion..." "You stupid little fresh meat," Zoey growls, and you gasp out in pain as you can feel her arms crushing inwards on you. "You really think anyone gives a shit about you as anything other than a snack? You're //nothing//, not to me and especially not to Queen Bitch." She lets up on the pressure for a second, but she isn't finished talking. "And I don't give a shit about her, or her stupid rules. She doesn't own me," Zoey spits, voice tinged with venom, as she starts to press inward on you again. "But I own //you//. Right now, you're the property of my gut. And for the next few hours, you're gonna see just how idiotic it was to think you could EVER threaten me..." Zoey makes good on that promise, your cries and pleas only spurring her on to do more as her acids slowly boil away at your flesh. By the time you finally black out, unconsciousness is a relief, and so is what comes after. <<include "Life Lost">>\ <<else>>\ "I happen to be best friends with her sister!" you shout. "And I know she wouldn't like this at all. As soon as I tell her what you did, you're going to--//AAH//!" You cry out in pain as Zoey grabs you tight once again and starts crushing you, arms wrapped tight around your body and pressing you in. Her breath comes in harsh pants as she keeps up the pressure, merciless in her efforts to put you down. She doesn't let up until long after you've blacked out from the overpowering pressure, letting out a satisfied grunt as she lets go of your stewing form.

<<set $day5LunchSamAndLeila to true>>Happy to have someone to sit with<<if $day4BreakfastSam>>, and excited to see Sam with someone other than you after how she was yesterday<</if>>, you decide to sit with the two of them. You hurry over to the buffet line to get yourself some food first, unfortunately finding that you're too early for them to have put out anything new for lunch yet. So, you fix yourself some more leftover waffles from breakfast, opting for the blueberry ones this time to mix it up, and head over to the table. <<if $leilaRel < 0>>\ As you get close, however, you freeze and start to reconsider. Now that you've gotten a better look at her, you recognize the girl who's sitting with Sam as Leila: <<if $eatenByLeila>>The girl who swallowed you after you rescued Mina from her<<else>>The girl who tried to eat Mina in the ambush on Monday<</if>>. There's no opportunity for you to change your mind, however, because Sam finally notices you standing there. "Oh, hey $name<<if !$day4BreakfastSam and ($day3HuntSam is "none")>>, long time no see<</if>>!" she says, waving you over. "Hey, how's it going?" you say, sitting down across from them and giving Leila a nervous glance. "Oh, this is Leila, she's a friend," Sam says, noticing your hesitation. "Well, she's also a sophomore so maybe you should be a little worried, I know how wimpy you are," she adds with a grin. <<if $leilaRel is -1>>Leila is squinting at you and tapping her cheek. "I swear I know you from somewhere..." she says, frowning a little. "But you weren't at club..." "Uh, no, I don't think so," you quickly reply. "Eh, well, whatever," Leila says with a shrug.<<else>>Leila gives you a puzzled look for a moment, then glares. "Hey, I remember you," she says, sitting up straighter and putting her hands on the table. "You're that freshman that ruined the massacre for me!" "Uh, look, I kind of //didn't// want to get digested, or for my friend to get eaten either, I don't think you can be mad at me for that. It wasn't anything personal," you say, scooting away from the table a bit. "Ugh, but I was gonna have such a nice time, just relaxing with an easy meal..." she pouts, relaxing again but still glaring at you. "//*Pfft*//, you lost //$name//," Sam says with a laugh. "Come on, //I// could handle her if I wanted, I thought you were supposed to be a big bad sophomore." Leila crosses her arms and pouts for a second, then cracks a smile and laughs herself. "Yeah I guess it is pretty pathetic, I was just being too lazy about it," she says with a sigh. "Whatever. Maybe I'll try again some day, but fair enough for now."<</if>>\ <<else>>\ "Hey Sam, how's it going?" you say, taking an open seat across from her and the other girl. "I see you found something good for lunch," you joke, nodding at the mystery girl. "Oh hey $name<<if !$day4BreakfastSam and ($day3HuntSam is "none")>>, long time no see!<<else>>,<</if>>" Sam says with a little smirk. "Nah this is Leila, she's cool. Also a sophomore, so I'd be careful since I know how wimpy you are," she says, her smirk growing into a grin. "Yeah I'm big and scary and all that, or whatever," Leila says with a shrug. <<if $metLeila>>Now that you've gotten a good look at her, you realize why she seemed familiar and get put on edge. She's one of the girls that ambushed you on your way back from lunch on Monday... and ate Mina. However, she doesn't seem to recognize you even a little bit, so you're put relatively back at ease for now.<<else>>Now that you're up close you get a better look at her. She's got golden brown skin and matching eyes. Her hair is a very dark black, only coming down slightly lower than her chin but with bangs left so long it completely covers half of her face. She's wearing a dark red beanie and a black tank top with a skull logo on it, along with large headphones hanging around her neck. You're also immediately drawn to the fact that she has several facial piercings: both a ring and a stud in her nose and another ring on her lip.\ <</if>> "And did you say //lunch//?" she says. "This is breakfast. I've been up less than an hour, and I'd rather still be asleep honestly." "Yeah, who wakes up early enough for this to be lunch?" Sam says. "Hey, I didn't decide when my classes are, I //had// to be up," you reply. "It's nice to meet you, I'm $name." "It's whatever," Leila says, giving you a lazy wave. She then yawns and leans forward onto the table, resting her head on her arms.<</if>> "Um, so how did you guys meet?" you ask, <<if $leilaRel < -1>>giving a quick sigh of relief that Sam diffused the situation before <</if>>starting to dig into your food. "We were both at music club yesterday," Sam says. She grins. "We both thought most of it was stupid, it was great." "Yeah Dana tried to do, like, team building, ice breaker bullshit for the first day, it was annoying," Leila says, rolling her eyes. She sits back up so she can eat her food, continuing to talk while she does. "I just wanna talk music, y'know? Luckily Mini-Mckenn knew what was up, we were just talking shit in the back for most of it." "You know Maeve's shorter than me, right?" Sam says, lightly hitting her arm. "Bigger ego though," Leila says with a slight grin. Sam laughs. <<if !$metMaeve and $samInfo1 < 2>>"Maeve?" you ask, raising an eyebrow. Sam and Leila both give you a blank look. "Have I really not told you about my sister?" Sam says. "And she's, y'know, 'queen of the school' Maeve? You haven't met her?" Leila says. She seems to pout a little as she takes an aggressive bite of a waffle. "One lucky-ass freshmen." "Honestly no, I have no idea who that is. Good to know though I guess," you say with a nervous chuckle. <<set $samInfo1 to 2>><<elseif $samInfo1 < 2>>"Hold on..." you say, pausing mid bite. The resemblance just struck you now that the two of them have brought her up like that. "Sam, <<if $samInfo1 is 1>>is //Maeve// your sister<<else>>are you related to Maeve<</if>>?" Leila bursts out laughing for a moment. "Yeah, obviously! Geez, I knew even before Dana blew her cover by using last names doing attendance." "Yeah, have I seriously not told you she's my sister before?" Sam says. "Don't tell me you're gonna run away now or something..." "No, no, that would be silly," you assure her. "Just... new information." "Yeah, if you're going to have a major reaction to that I feel like kissing up to you is the smarter move anyways," Leila chimes in. Then she pauses and seems to consider what she just said. "That's... That's not what I'm doing, just to be clear." "Yeah I know," Sam says with a smirk. "I can already tell you're too lazy to act." <<set $samInfo1 to 2>><<else>>You smile, glad that Sam seems to have found someone else who isn't scared off by her relation to Maeve. <</if>>As you eat, you think about what you want to talk about. The party Emma is planning quickly comes to mind, but since Leila is a sophomore you realize you should probably wait for another time if you're going to invite Sam.<<set $samInfo8 to 1>><<set $metLeila to true>><<set $leilaInfo1 to 1>> \ <<if $ateAshley>><<linkreplace "Brag about being the winner at Maeve's party">><<append "#text">>\ "You know Sam, according to your sister I'm the best of the freshman class," you say with a smug look.

"It's true, I even ate a junior," you say with a grin. "Ooohh you got taken to that freshman deathmatch thing didn't you," Leila chimes in<<if $leilaRel < -1>> with a smirk. "Serves you right honestly."<<else>>.<</if>> "Oh, Maeve did tell me she had a party recently with... games," Sam says, looking sheepish. "Uh, sorry you were one of the ones that got grabbed for that, it sounded like a little much to me..." "Eh it wasn't totally awful, I was too drunk to remember clearly but I remember having fun after I won," you say, giving her a reassuring smile. "You know I was in that thing last year and I remember it being pretty bad," Leila says. "Although I got second place so I didn't really get to enjoy the party after. Rach did thanks to me though, and we're kind of friends after that, so I guess it wasn't the worst..."<<set $leilaInfo2 to 1>> "Yeah I mean being named the top of the class is pretty good, probably gets you some street cred," Sam says.

"Well at least you won?" Sam says with a nervous grin. "It is kinda helpful I think, none of the upperclassmen seemed to bother Bree much last year," Leila chimes in. You aren't very convinced of the upside. "Uh, look, she did tell me that she wasn't the one who //started// that whole thing as a tradition, so don't judge Maeve specifically too harshly..." Sam says. "I'll make sure she knows we're friends..."

"Like, depending on the mood, or the day, hard rock could be what I'm feeling, but then sometimes I'm more feeling EDM, and even a lot of classical stuff is really great..." She continues to ramble about various types of music for a bit while you just nod along and Sam shakes her head, clearly having already gone through this. After a while her rant regains some focus. "Oh, but I do have a favorite artist! You ever heard of Lorelai Rose?" she asks, pulling her shirt forward a little to pull your attention to the logo. It's a skull with a rose behind it and hearts in the eyes, which seems to be vomiting flower petals. "Can't say I have," you reply. "Ugh, you're missing out, she's so good! I think technically her stuff falls under alternative rock, she has this really unique blend of electronic synths with hard rock, god I love it..." Leila gushes. "Plus I just love her as a person. Like, she's funny, gorgeous, has a fantastic voice, and can shred on the guitar. That's like everything I wish I was." "Alright fangirl, take it easy," Sam chuckles.

"If anyone ever eats you they're going to have trouble with metal detectors for the rest of their life," Sam says with a smirk.

Then she gets a very slight smile. "She played piano for us in club and she was //really// good. I can't take that kind of talent away for a snack that wouldn't even be filling." "Yeah she was alright," Sam adds. "Had to get someone to help her bring her keyboard through the halls to the clubroom though, it was hilarious!"

"Hmm, it looks like we're missing even more people already... But, uh, I'm sure that's not permanent, they could be skipping! I'll take attendence..."

So continuing on from Tuesday..." Steria jumps into her lecture for the day, continuing on the first unit about staying aware and alert. She goes over some general rules for staying safe to start things off, most of which are pretty basic or obvious. Avoiding being alone with girls you aren't familiar with, never listening to someone you don't trust if they try to get you to move to a new location, staying aware of exits in any room you're in, that sort of thing. She also talks about how most predators are surprisingly predictable and can't help themselves from hinting at their intentions. While there are of course plenty who are good actors or that get right to the point instead of trying to lower your guard that you can't do much about, she goes over common phrases or behavior that should be an immediate red flag to get away as soon as possible. You're starting to zone out, but luckily before it gets to be too much of a drag she wraps things up for the day. "That should do it for today, thank you for coming everyone!" Steria says.

"Let's get going then." The three of you get up and start to make your way to Sam's dorm. You head upstairs and over the bridge to Karbo, Sam and Leila joking about something from their club yesterday as you walk. You don't exactly follow the conversation and feel a bit left out, but the subject soon changes and you're able to more comfortably join in. Before long, you've arrived at the door to Room K138. "Wow, this is your dorm? Mine's just a few doors down," you say, glancing over at your own room, K132. You're a little shocked that you've never run into her coming in and out before being this close together. "Ha, really? Guess we just have pretty different schedules," Sam says as she unlocks the door. "Or I've been spending too much time in Maeve's suite." "Makes sense, this hall is where they put the good students that get accepted first," Leila chimes in. "I take it you used to be here then?" you tease. "Nah I was in Lampton, where they put the ones who barely made it in," she says with a dry laugh. "It's par for the course for me." Sam opens the door and steps in without much fanfare, immediately sitting down on her bed and leaving you and Leila to your own devices. Naturally, her room looks very similar to yours... except much messier. There are clothes laying all over the place, mostly in disorganized piles on <<if $samInfo3 > 1>>what would have been Hannah's<<else>>what was formerly her roommate's bed<</if>>, but there are also discarded garments scattered across the floor. Even on her bedside table there's an old bra draped over the side. The walls, on the other hand, are barren, though that may be because she still hasn't actually unpacked all of her things if the luggage at the far side of the room is any indication. "Wow, do you have a maid or something?" Leila says sarcastically as the two of you walk into the room. She goes to try and find a clear place to sit on the clothing-covered bed, but pauses and seems to perk up when she spots something. "Oh hey, is this a Panic--" Before she can even finish her thought, Sam jumps back to her feet and snatches the shirt she was looking at off the bed. "Uh, sorry some of this is Hannah's stuff laying around still, I didn't clean it all up," she says, blushing a little. "Here I'll make some room." She quickly tosses the shirt she was worried about under her bed, then shoves some of the piles of clothing aside so you and Leila can sit. "Nevermind then, I guess," Leila says with a shrug. She takes a seat, leaning back against the wall. "Thanks," you tell Sam, giving her a smile as you sit in the other spot she cleared. Once you're all settled, however, an awkward silence takes over and it quickly becomes clear that there was no actual plan beyond "hanging out". There's a little bit of conversation at first, but none of it really goes anywhere and soon everyone seems to have turned their attention to their phone instead, Leila even donning her headphones. <<if $samRel > 2>>Looking over at Sam, you notice that she actually seems a little nervous, probably not sure what to say rather than deliberately ignoring you. <</if>>Starting to feel a little uncomfortable, you decide to take some intiative and try to get a conversation going. \ <<link "Ask Sam about what music she's into">><<replace "#choice1">>\ "So Sam, what kind of music are you into?" you ask.

I'm not very good at genres and this isn't something I've really thought about before..." Leila shakes her head and chuckles under her breath a little. "Well that's fine, cause I'm about to introduce you to the best artist there is!" she says dramatically, unplugging her headphones from her phone. Sam seems to breathe a sigh of relief. "Take a listen to some classic Lorelai Rose!" A moment later she hits play and a song starts blasting out of the speakers. There's a melodic, electronic baseline with a dominant guitar riff playing over it. After an explosive intro, the guitar fades into the background as a woman begins to sing. "Hey, this //is// pretty good," Sam says. "This is 'The Hunger', it was one of her early hits," Leila says with a grin. "She's a pretty outspoken predator and a lot of her music ties into that, you might have heard of her for that and just forgotten actually. Ha! Like this one time a couple years ago she was getting criticized a lot for always using those themes in her songs, and she responded to the hate with a complete shitpost of a single that opens with an //autotuned burp//, it was fucking hilarious!

You give an exaggerated look around the disaster of a room. "Yeah, we can tell," you tease. "Oh whatever," she says, rolling her eyes and lounging back into a more comfortable position. "I don't care about the mess and there's no one else to be bothered by it. Blame my aunt, she's always super up my ass about cleaning up so I've gotta let loose while I can." "You live with your aunt?" you ask. "Yeah, for the past couple years anyways," she replies. "Oh, got it," you say.

"Yeah, whatever, I guess I'm down to meet the queen when she's not in bully mode," Leila says with a shrug. <<if $metMaeve>>"Sure..." you say. You aren't particularly excited about the thought of seeing Maeve again, but Sam seems eager to prove there's more to her than what you're thinking. Plus, you're pretty sure she already texted her.<<else>>"Yeah, I'd love to meet her!" you say.<</if>> "Awesome! She's already on her way," Sam says. She has a very eager grin. The three of you keep chatting for a little while, but it isn't long before there's a knock at the door. Then there's some //shouting// at the door. "HEY FRESHY! Open the hell up!" <<if $metMaeve>>the familiar voice of Maeve<<else>>a voice that sounds fairly similar to Sam's<</if>> yells, banging on the door. Sam jumps to her feet with a big smile on her face, quickly heading over and throwing open the door. Standing on the other side of the door with an equally genuine grin is <<if $metMaeve>>Maeve.<<else>>a pale girl with green eyes, a sparse row of freckles across her cheeks, and dark, flowing hair, who you assume is Maeve. She's shorter than you expected, Sam clearly having some height on her.<</if>> "Sammy!" Maeve says as soon as the door is open. She throws an arm around Sam's shoulders and pulls her head down to her level, tousling her hair. "How's it going punk?" "Hey Maeve! I'm good, I'm good," Sam says with a slight laugh, quickly breaking out of her grip. "You look like you're slacking though, I don't think I've seen you on an empty stomach on campus before." "Ha! There'd be no one left for //you// if I just ate whenever I wanted," Maeve says with a grin, giving Sam's arm a nudge. "Besides, a queen needs to have some subjects left." "Actually speaking of that, these two are friends of mine!" Sam says gesturing to the bed you and Leila are on. You both give an awkward wave. "I, uh, wanted to make sure you didn't eat them." "Oh relax, Sammy, you know I wouldn't," Maeve replies, walking further into the room. She stops on the far side, leaning back against the closet with her arms crossed. "Hey chumps." "Uh, hey, what's up," Leila says. <<if $metMaeve>>"Hey..." you say nervously.<<else>>"Hey, I'm $name! Nice to meet you," you say.<</if>> <<if $ateAshley>>"Oh hey, you're the freshman that won the party, aren't you?" Maeve says, looking over at you with a slight smirk. "How's Ash treating you?" <<if $breastSize > 44>>"Can't complain too much about what my body did with her," you say, nudging your breasts together for emphasis. "But I think my stomach is still a little sore..."<<else>>"My stomach is still a little sore..." you grumble.<</if>> "Yeah I bet, she probably did a number on you," Maeve chuckles. "It'll toughen you up. So a freshman who made it through those last two trials and I'm pretty sure beanie here's a sophomore? Pretty good Sammy, you want friends that'll last."\ <<elseif $trialSavedByNadia>>"Hey wait... didn't I feed you to a goth the other day?" Maeve says, looking over at you and narrowing her eyes a little. "Uh, yeah, but I got better..?" you say with a nervous laugh. "Eh, I don't care what happens once I hand you off, good job getting out for Sam's sake I guess," she replies with a shrug. "Between that and beanie here being a sophomore, I think, you're doing pretty good Sammy, you want friends that'll last."\ <<elseif $maeveDisrespect>>"Ha! I recognize you, you're that feisty freshman from Monday, right?" Maeve says, looking over at you with a slight smirk. You don't reply, but shift uncomfortably as you think about your prior encounter, daring to give her a slight glare back. "Hope you learned something from that, I want Sammy's friends to last. Beanie here is at least a sophomore, I think."\ <<elseif $maeveSisterRelation is 2>>"Yeah, I remember this one," Maeve says, looking over at you. Her expression is difficult to read. "Hope you learned something from your time in Matilda's ass, I want Sammy's friends to last. Beanie here is at least a sophomore, I think."\ <<else>>"I hope you're tougher than you look," Maeve says, looking over at you with an intense stare. "I want Sammy's friends to last. Beanie here is at least a sophomore, I think."<</if>> "I am, it's Leila," Leila says. "Yeah I probably won't remember that, keep wearing the beanie," Maeve says, laughing a little under her breath. "Whatever, I usually do anyways," Leila replies with a shrug. Maeve takes a look around the room. "Damn, I can see why Ima is always so annoyed with you if this is what your room looks like after less than a week on your own." "Hey, I learned from you, dork," Sam shoots back. "You can't get on me when I've seen your room back home." "I don't leave my bras on display for everyone to see, dweeb," Maeve says, smiling and shaking her head. "Wow, I didn't think I'd ever see someone call Maeve a dork without getting eaten," Leila says with a smirk. "Don't get any ideas about doing it yourself," Maeve snaps, glaring at her. Her tone immediately shifted to have a much harsher edge. "Yeah, it's just, like, a thing we do," Sam chuckles. With introductions out of the way, Maeve and Sam start to happily chat away, keeping up their banter as they catch up with each other. Leila chimes in every now and then, but for the most part it seems like they've almost forgotten they aren't alone.<<if $metMaeve>> You do have to give Sam credit--while she still has an intimidating presence, Maeve almost seems like a totally different person than your prior meeting now that she's not out to get you.<</if>> You <<if $metMaeve>>nervously <</if>>stay quiet, not sure if you should interrupt them. \ <<link "Stay Quiet">><<replace "#choice2">>\ <<if $metMaeve>>Still intimidated by Maeve and not wanting to push your luck<<else>>A little intimidated by Maeve<</if>>, you decide to just stay quiet and let the two of them catch up. You can't help smiling at how excited Sam seems to be about talking with her sister, even though it surely can't have been that long since they saw each other. After a while, Maeve checks the time and starts to move back towards the door.<</replace>><<toggleclass "#continue2" "hide">><</link>> <<link "Compliment Maeve's Hair">><<replace "#choice2">>\ Trying to think of something to say, you find yourself looking over Maeve and can't help noticing that she's much more put together than Sam. Sam's outfit is haphazardly thrown together and her hair is messy and unmanaged, while Maeve's whole look seems very deliberate. Her hair, in particular, looks fantastic. While it definitely has a wild look, it's clear that she put care into styling it. So, when a break in the conversation comes, you decide to give attention to it. "I like what you did with your hair, Maeve, it looks really pretty," you say. There's an awkward pause where everyone just looks at you, and you start to blush as you realize maybe that wasn't as natural of a time to throw out a compliment as you thought. Then Maeve bursts out laughing. "That's adorable, you trying to butter up the queen or something? You're not going to get any better treatment than being Sam's friend," she says, shaking her head. "But thanks I guess, I know it looks great." "Don't worry $name, that's the closest she gets to being flattered," Sam says with a grin. "I've seen her spend over an hour on her hair before, she definitely appreciates the compliment." "Yeah, caring about my looks is the one thing you didn't copy from me that you really should have," Maeve sneers, starting to move back towards the door. "Maybe you'd have a boyfriend by now without the permanent bedhead, dork." "Oh whatever, you know I'd eat them before getting close enough to want them to stick around anyways," Sam says with a laugh.<<set $samInquiry2 to 1>><</replace>><<toggleclass "#continue2" "hide">><</link>> <<link "Ask Maeve about her title">><<replace "#choice2">>\ Feeling a little emboldened around "the queen" with Sam here, you decide to pry a little once there's a break in the conversation. "So Maeve, what's up with the whole 'queen of the school' deal?" you ask. "Isn't it kinda pretentious to call yourself that?" Sam seems to get a little nervous from your question and Maeve narrows her eyes at you. "You got a problem with it, freshy? It sure feels pretty accurate to me." "I mean... it just feels kind of... extra? I guess," you say, starting to get nervous yourself. "It's fun," Maeve says dryly. Then she smirks. "Like on the way over here? Someone a couple doors down was coming out of their dorm when I walked past and freaked out just seeing me. It feels good to have people show you the respect you deserve, so I make sure they know who's on top," she explains. "And for your information, I wasn't the one who started using the title." "Wait, really?" Sam says. "It honestly seems like something you'd come up with." "Thanks, dweeb," Maeve says, refusing to elaborate further. She starts to walk back over towards the door, giving Sam a playful hit on the arm as she goes. "I... guess that's fair enough," you say, not wanting to push her anymore.<</replace>><<toggleclass "#continue2" "hide">><</link>>\ \ "Alright, I've got places to be. I'll see you later Sammy!" she says, stepping out into the hall. "And friends," she adds. "See ya Maeve!" Sam says, waving to her as she closes the door and takes her leave. "That was pretty cool, super weird to see her without feeling the need to run the other way," Leila says. "Yeah, she's great right!" Sam says with a grin. "I don't blame people for being terrified if they're on the menu for her, but she's so cool when you aren't!" "Yeah, no, you're right," Leila says. A sly smile spreads across her lips. "...Sammy." "Nope, no, definitely not," Sam laughs. "Only Maeve gets to call me that." After the excitement of Maeve's visit passes, things quickly return to the awkward quiet there was before. Leila turns her attention back to her music and any conversation slows to a crawl. It seems to fall on you again to keep things going. <<if $leilaInfo5 is 0>>"So Leila," you say, hoping to get a conversation started. She looks over at you and pulls one side of her headphones away from her ear. "What was your first year here like?" "Eh, it was whatever," she says, shrugging as she slides her headphones completely off. "Most of my class would probably say stressful, but I kinda just didn't give a shit about the upperclassmen and that crap and it mostly worked out." "Yeah, I get to be in the same boat thanks to Maeve," Sam says. "I mean, I'm great and would be fine on my own, but I don't even have to worry a little thanks to everyone being scared of her." "But man that first semester schedule they give you is so ass," Leila continues. "I hated it, almost all of my classes were before noon. Being able to make your own is great, now I get to sleep in almost every day." "You taking anything interesting now that you aren't locked in?" you ask. "I mean, not really. Still just basic stuff. Eating people," Leila says with a shrug. "Some people are really into the options for like, unbirth and using your butt and that shit, but I'm not about it." "Yeah, I'm kind of with you there. Those both seem kinda weird to me," Sam says.<<set $leilaInfo4 to 1>> Although the conversation quickly starts to die down again, it doesn't end up mattering much. Sam suddenly seems to remember something and sits up. "Oh shit, I've got a class I actually want to go to soon," she says. "Totally forgot, I guess we should call it." "Fine by me," Leila says with a shrug, quickly getting to her feet. "It's been fun Mini-Mckenn, lets hang again soon. You too, $name<<if $leilaRel < -1>>--just don't ever steal my meal again<</if>>." <<Leila 2>> As Leila heads out into the hall, you get up from the bed and stretch out yourself. "Thanks for inviting me Sam, this was nice," you say, giving her a smile. "Yeah, definitely," she says, seeming a little relieved. "Try not to get eaten before I see you again." "I'll do my best," you say with a laugh. "Have fun at class!"<<if $samRel < 3>> <<Sam 1>><</if>> With that, you head out into the hall to return to your own dorm.

You think back to your conversation at lunch and, feeling a little flirty, decide to give something a shot. "Hey Leila," you say, a bit louder than normal so she hopefully hears you. "Yeah?" she says, opening her eyes and pulling one side of her headphones away from her ear. "Now that we're in private, you think you could show us those other piercings you mentioned?" you ask. "Seriously $name?" Sam says, giving you a look. "Oh what you mean my nips? Yeah sure, if you really wanna see them," she says with a shrug. As Leila slides off her headphones and starts to pull up the front of her shirt, you find yourself a little stunned that it was that easy. As she lifts her shirt up to rest by her armpits, she also hooks her fingers under the cups of her bra, letting her breasts gently bounce free. Her bust is fairly modest for a sophomore, <<if $breastSize > 34>>definitely smaller than your own<<else>>but still impressive<</if>>. Shining against the golden brown of her skin are two small silver nubs sticking out from either side of her nipples. She brings her hand up to give them a poke as if she's also become curious now. "Pretty neat right? I think they're hot," Leila says. She cups her breasts for a moment, only to quickly lose interest and turn her focus back to her phone. She leaves her shirt as it is as she dons her headphones again. "Oh absolutely," you say rather shamelessly. Across from you, Sam seems to be ignoring the current development, although you catch her quickly stealing a glance at Leila's exposed chest. "Honestly I wouldn't recommend getting it done yourself though, it hurt like a bitch," Leila adds, though she seems to already be zoning out again. "Oof, yeah I can imagine," you say, still enjoying the view. "Alright, can you put your shirt back on now?" Sam cuts in after a long enough pause for it to be clear Leila wasn't planning on doing so herself. "Oh, right, yeah," Leila says with a little laugh, fixing her bra and pulling her shirt back down.<<set $leilaInfo5 to 2>><</replace>><<toggleclass "#continue3" "hide">><</link>> <<link "Ask Leila about her first year at the school">><<replace "#choice3">>\ "So Leila," you say, hoping to get a conversation started.

<<Time 10.75>><<set $eatenBySunnyRescue to true>><<set $totalEscaped += 1>>Sunny continues on her way down the hall with you in tow, putting some distance between her and Zoey. You stay silent for a while, wrapping your head around the sequence of events still as you bounce along with her. A loud groan shakes through the shifting walls of her stomach and finally snaps you back to attention, but before you say anything you feel Sunny start to gently caress her belly from below. "How is my passenger doing?" she asks with a laugh. "I was waiting for you to complain but I guess you're into it." "I figured you did this to get me away from Zoey, I just didn't want to mess up the plan," you reply, a little hastily. "You're, uh... you are going to let me out, right?" "Yeah, yeah, of course, don't freak out. Emma would kill me if I didn't," she teases, poking your side through her belly. "Just gotta make sure you're safe first. Hang tight." "Okay... And thank you," you say, letting yourself lean back into the shifting walls. "Ha, no problem!" she says. You hear a very faint clicking sound. "I just pointed finger guns at my gut if you didn't get that, I want to be sure you're getting the full effect. But anyways, this really pissed Zoey off too so that's always a plus. I wish you'd seen her face! I feel sorry for whoever she does end up eating after that." Your surroundings shake a little with her laughter. "Yeah, I can only imagine..." you reply. The bouncing of her gut starts to get more intense, and you assume she's heading upstairs. "But real //*urp*// talk<<if $eatenByZoeyMulti and $ateAshley>>, I don't know what you did to piss her off so much, but<</if>> //you// should probably steer clear of her," Sunny says. "With me, at worst it's a fair fight if I ever //*urp*// push it enough that she snaps, but you're totally screwed if Sunny D isn't there to save the day sometime." She gives her gut a pat as she makes it to the top of the stairs. "And I really don't want to know what happens to people she's //really// pissed with once her and her gut are behind closed doors." You shiver a little, the thoughts that come to mind not helped by your current position in someone's stomach. "Yeah...<<if $eatenByZoeyMulti or $ateAshley>> although I've managed so far without you. Or I guess, before //this// I did,<</if>>" you say. "Hey, all I'm saying is make sure you can put your money where your mouth is if you're gonna poke the bear." There's a brief pause in the conversation, leaving you with just the gurgling sounds of her stomach and the faint beating of her heart as you bounce along with her through the halls. You're starting to get more worried the longer you're still inside her, noticing a small pool of acids starting to form around your feet. Outside, you hear the click of a door closing. A loud groan cuts through her stomach and you decide to voice your concern. "Um, things are starting to heat up in here Sunny," you say. "Can you please get me out?" "Chill, chill, I've got everything covered," she replies, stifling a laugh. A moment later, you hear her... swallow something? Not long after you're doused with a small splash of water followed by something hard getting squeezed out onto the back of your neck. You grab the object, and your confusion quickly turns into dread as you realize what's going on. It's one of the antacid tablets used for class labs. "Sunny, you can't be serious..." you say, letting the tablet fall down to the bottom of her stomach. "Where did you even..?" "Oh you can just ask for some in the office, they've got tons. You'll get in some real trouble if you drug someone else with 'em though, they're very strict about that," she says. "You should probably make sure that makes it into whatever acid has built up by the way, we're gonna be hanging out for a while." "Sunny, //why//?" you say. "Just let me out." "But think of how much fun you'll have getting to see a day in the life of Sunny D! I saved your ass, let me enjoy it a little longer," she says with a laugh. "I'll let you out eventually, just enjoy the ride for now.<<if $day2SunnyFlirt>> I know you're a perv, you're probably loving the chance to be inside me like this.~<</if>>" "I have things to do today! I still have another class!" you protest. "Yeah so do I, you'll learn way more at mine. Junior remember? It's like getting ahead on your studies or something," Sunny replies. "Also you don't have a choice, so strap in!" You sigh and lean back, trying to at least get into a more comfortable position. You don't get the feeling you could make Sunny throw you up if you were to struggle, and you don't want to make her angry by trying it, so at least while she has an antacid keeping her stomach in check you feel like it's in your best interest to just go along with it. Outside, her door clicks shut again and she goes on the move, fully ready to go through the rest of her day lugging you around.

Now very aware of how hungry you've become, you close your laptop, stretch your arms, and get up off your bed to head to the dining hall. [[Head to dinner->September 5th- Dinner]]\ <</replace>><</link>><</if>>

You decide that you're definitely in the mood for a proper meal, and now would be the perfect time to head out on the hunt. There are still a few classes happening, some probably even getting out soon, so people have a reason to be out and about in the halls, but it shouldn't be as busy as earlier in the day. Finding a suitable target without anyone to get in the way should be easy. Stepping out into the hall, you consider where you should go to hunt your prey... <<if $savedMandy and ($day2HuntWithSam != "success")>>[[Upstairs->September 5th- Mandy]]<<else>>[[Upstairs->September 5th- On the Hunt: Upstairs]]<</if>> [[Downstairs->September 5th- On the Hunt: Downstairs]]

<<Time 14>>Deciding that now would be a good time to get a workout in, you grab some more suitable clothes and get changed. Then you head out into the hall to make your way over to the gym. There seems to be quite a few people out and about in the courtyard at this hour, but you don't run into any trouble. Once inside, it becomes clear that this is a busy time for the gym as well. There's a small group of girls clearly heading for the pool just ahead of you, it looks like a class is happening in the main gym, and even the track has a few people running on it already. Heading upstairs to the weight room, you find it similarly crowded. There are only two machines that aren't in use, conveniently one of each. However, the free treadmill is right next to a girl who's running with a full gut, her prey clearly both still alive and not on board with the arrangement, so you decide to try out the bike today. You head over to the far side of the room and carefully mount the exercise bike. You don't really have any experience using one so you take a moment to look it over and get a feel for how it works. Then you start out slow, pedalling at a very leisurely pace at first while you subtly watch what the girls on either side of you are doing for guidance. You slowly intensify things, and pretty quickly get the hang of it. You keep going for a while, varying your intensity to make things more manageable without having to take a full break. <<if $fat > 34>>You aren't able to last particularly long with how out of shape you are, but the fact they you're breathing hard and coated in sweat should mean you got enough of a workout.<<else>>Eventually you decide you've done enough, coated in sweat and breathing hard after such a workout.<</if>> You do some quick stretches to cool down, then start to make your way out of the building.

Right around dinner time, your stomach growls and you decide to head over to the dining hall. [[Head to dinner->September 5th- Dinner]]

<<Time 14>><<set $minaDorm to true>>You make your way upstairs and over to the dining hall, moving at a pretty brisk pace to make sure you arrive on time. Considering the circumstance of //why// you're meeting up, you're a little nervous leaving Mina all on her own for too long, even if that's likely how she spent most of the day. Luckily, you make it pretty much right on time and immediately notice Mina sitting at an isolated table off to the side. "Hey Mina! How's your day been?" you ask. She gives you a small smile when she sees your approach. "Hello $name!" she says, putting her fork down. There's a mostly empty salad bowl on the table in front of her. "It has been good, my classes went well. Are you still willing to do our training session?" "Ha, I feel like I'm not the one that should be too worried about it," you say with a smile. <<if $knowAntacid>>"Although, I actually just learned a little while ago that we can apparently get some of the antacids they use for lab fairly easily. I'm not sure //exactly// how though so we'd have to wait, but we can plan to do this once I get my hands on some instead if you'd prefer." "I am fine continuing as planned," Mina says. "Alright then!

You start to take a seat across from her but she immediately gets up. "We can go now! I must return this first though," she says, picking up her bowl. "Oh, well alright then, let's get going!" you say. After Mina drops off her dish, the two of you head off up the stairs together to get to her dorm. It's pretty much completely silent as the two of you make your way through the hall and back over to Karbo, but the trip doesn't take long. Her room is one of the ones right next to the staircase on the first floor, Room K150. "Please make yourself comfortable," she says as she leads you into the room. Her dorm is very plain, and almost barren. There's nothing on the walls, no TV, and the floor and bedside table are completely clear. The bed on the right is set so perfectly that it's hard to imagine anyone had ever slept in it, covered in a lavender blanket that doesn't seem to have a single wrinkle in it. Strangely, however, the other bed also has a sheet on it, and wedged into the corner of it is what can only be described as a nest of pillows and blankets. There's also a closed laptop resting on it. "I thought you said you didn't have a roommate?" you ask as you walk further into the room. "I do not, she never checked in on the first day. I assume she was eaten during the tour," Mina answers, starting to go through her dresser. "But her belongings were still dropped off here, so I put some of them to use. I use the other bed to relax during the day." "Huh, you know that's pretty smart actually. Must be nice having all this space to yourself," you reply. "It is, but I must admit I feel like I am missing out on something being all on my own," Mina says. She has a bundle of clothes in her hands now. "Excuse me for a moment, I want to get changed into different clothes before we begin." "Of course, no problem," you say, taking a seat on the left bed. Mina heads into the bathroom, but seems to change almost instantly. You swear the door wasn't even closed a minute before she returns. She's now wearing shorts and a very loose white tank top. "Okay, now I am ready!" she says, marching up to you with a very determined look on her face. "Eat me." "Woah, easy, don't get too excited now!" you say, laughing. You're coming to realize that you really are the one who's more nervous about this arrangement. "Let's not just dive into it, we'll kind of be on a time limit so let's make sure we're really clear on what we're doing before we start." "I suppose you are right, sorry. I am simply eager to train." "Let's just make sure we've got everything straight," you say, initially smiling but then giving her a serious look. "We don't have any antacids to use, so you're going into my stomach while it's completely active, filling with acid and all. I'll probably be able to tell when things are getting //really// bad in there, but for the most part it's going to be on you to let me know when you need to get out, alright? Me accidentally digesting you is a very real possibility if we don't take this seriously." "I understand, I can handle it," she says with a nod.<<if $ateMina>> "I have already been in your stomach while it was trying to digest me once, remember?"<</if>> <<if $ateMina>>"I guess that is true," you chuckle.<<else>>"Okay, just want to make sure we know the stakes," you reply.<</if>> "So, I guess how we'll do this is like in lab, I'll swallow you and you try to force me to throw up. But we're trying to train you to be more effective here instead of testing your skill, so I not only won't do anything to fight back against you, I'll try to give you pointers while you struggle. And again, if things are getting too intense before you can get out on your own, let me know right away so I can let you out. Sound good?" "Yes, I really appreciate this $name!" she says, giving you a slight smile. She then holds out her arms for you to get started. "I'll do my best." [[Swallow Her->Practice With Mina- Training]]

If <<if $metProfSteria>>Professor Steria's class was over already<<else>>they were talking about a class you were meant to be in having passed<</if>>, that means it must be at least two o'clock by now.

Bora mumbles. You hear a door slam shut behind you, then a hand lightly pushes in on you. "Alright you, if you've learned your lesson I can put an end to your extended stay. What do you have to say now that it's been a few hours?" "I'm sorry, I should have paid closer attention to your instructions," you reply from inside of her. "Good, apology accepted," she says, giving you a gentle pat through her belly. "Now, I would really rather not remove a student this way, but I think we're too short on time for me to drag you all the way back to my stomach to regurgitate, not to mention that antacid has worn off by now and even a brief acid bath would be unnecessary extra punishment..." You have been noticing a lot of gurgling sounds starting to come from above you, and her statement is punctuated by a louder groan as if her stomach knew it had been mentioned. "It's, uh, it's fine..." you say, understanding what she's getting at. She sighs. "So... we'll do this as professionally as possible," she says, taking a few steps further into the room. Her stance shifts a little and you hear some shuffling as she adjusts her clothes. "I suppose this will be a little test of how well you've actually learned to follow instructions. I want you to close your eyes until I tell you to open them again, and remain as limp as you can until you're all the way out. I'll take care of... extraction, don't try to pull or push yourself out. Understand?" "Yes ma'am," you reply, shutting your eyes tight, despite it not making a difference yet in her pitch-black insides, and letting your body relax. "Alright, I'll try to make this quick..." Intense waves of pressure start to push through the walls around you, dragging you forward at a surprisingly quick pace. Before you know it, your head presses up against a solid wall of flesh. With a series of small grunts from Bora, your head slowly pushes forward through the sphincter, briefly sandwiched by soft skin still before you finally feel the cool air of the room on your face. Doing as you're told, you keep your eyes closed for now. Bora shifts her stance a little, and starts to push even harder, slowly sliding you back into the outside world. <<if $breastSize > 44>>When she gets down to your chest, however, your progress seems to halt. Bora gives an annoyed grunt, clenches her muscles painfully tight, and pushes hard. An intense pressure builds, until finally your breasts are forced through the tight opening. There's a faintly audible popping sound once they're all the way through and the pressure eases up. With that obstacle out of the way, she's able to breeze through getting the rest of you out.<<elseif $playerSize > 5>>Even once your shoulders have made it out, however, her progress seems to be stuttered and strained, Bora grunting as you slide out just a few inches at a time at an inconsistent pace. She mutters something about "students who can't be bothered to use the gym" under her breath. She seems to abandon the gentle approach she'd been taking in frustration and starts to put a painful amount of pressure on you. It gets the job done, at least, and before long your entire body is freed.<<else>>She seems to be trying to do this with a gentle touch, which you appreciate even if it means the process is prolonged<<if $analByMatilda or $analByJoan or $analByOlivia>>, especially after your previous encounters of this nature<</if>>. Eventually, you feel your feet slide through her anus and drop to the floor, finally putting an end to the ordeal.<</if>> "Keep those eyes closed still," she commands in a slightly exhasperated tone. You make sure to listen, shivering a little on the cold tile floor after getting used to the warm embrace of her insides. Bora takes a deep breath and, from the sounds of it, fixes her clothes. There's a pause just long enough for you to consider getting up on your own before she talks again. "Alright, we're all set, you can get up now," she finally says. "And I'd take it slow opening those eyes, it's going to be extremely bright in here for you." Taking her advice, you blink and squint until your eyes have properly adjusted as you sit up and stretch your arms. As you fully rise back to your feet, you notice that you're a little sore after being cramped for so long. You feel disgusting, your entire body slick with some mixture of various bodily fluids. When you finally turn to face Bora, you find her giving you an annoyed look with her hands on her hips, her cheeks slightly flushed. "That's that then. The punishment will only get worse if you ever do something like this again," she says. "I expect much better from you in the future $name. And you can forget the extra credit I promised for helping with the demonstration after this." "Yes, Professor Bora, sorry..." you mutter. Bora sighs and heads for the door. "We're in the bathroom by the teacher offices, head away from the stairs to get back to the main hall," she says before unlocking it and stepping out into the hall. @@color:red;Bora is clearly not pleased with you.@@<<set $boraFavor -= 1>> <<AttendAnatomy>>\ [[Get back to your dorm to clean up->September 5th- Afternoon 2]]

Not only do you not want to bail on her just in general, you're afraid of what could happen to Mina if she's hanging around on her own in the dining hall for too long.

You quickly lose track of time as your focus is entirely taken by what you're playing. Before you know it, your growling stomach is taking you back to reality and find that it's already dinner time.

You move as quickly and efficiently as you can, gulping down her arms, head, and even shoulders pretty effortlessly. With her upper body on its way down your throat, you grab her waist and raise her up overhead, finding it very easy to lift her small frame. The rest of her soon disappears into your body, your friend smoothly sliding down your throat and curling up into your bulging stomach.<<if $ateMina and $escapismLabMina>> The strange thought occurs to you that this is the third time in less than a week that you've had the tiny girl in your gut.<</if>> "//*UUrp*// There, you make it down okay?" you ask.

The squirming and writhing in your gut is starting to slow, not that the movement was doing much to begin with, and the bulge she's making is starting to grow less distinct as acid floods your stomach. Still, you lean back and leave your belly hanging totally free, giving her every opportunity to prove you wrong. Even so, it doesn't take much longer for her to go totally still. You wait a moment, then sigh and lean forward to massage your belly. Your probing hands reveal that she isn't totally gone, but has simply admitted defeat. "I'm sorry..." you hear Mina mumble. Unsure if she was aiming that at you or not, you just give her a gentle pat on the back. "It's alright Mina, you did your best," you say. "Just //*UUrrp*//--sorry... Just relax and let go." You feel her seem to relax a little under the soothing efforts of your hands. "...I understand, $name..." she says quietly.

You stay in that position for a while, feeling the contents of your gut slowly start to soften. When you finally pull away, you give your gut a prod with one finger, finding no response other than a rush of gas up your throat. @@color:lime;Mina has been digested!@@ Content that your meal is finished, you lean back on the bed to relax. You sigh as you look around the vacant room, feeling somewhat conflicted on some level about what you've done. Then your eyes settle on the nearby nest of blankets and pillows and the feeling fades as a new idea occupies your mind. You quickly crawl over to it, the moderate bulge that used to be Mina not too much of a hinderance to your mobility. Since it had been made for someone of Mina's size, you have to reposition pretty much everything, but before long you and your gurgling belly are wrapped in a cocoon of warmth and comfort. You lean back into the plush pillows, massaging your ever-softening belly beneath the soft layers of blankets, and soon enough you find yourself drifting off to sleep. ... You gently awaken in an unfamiliar dorm, wrapped tight in various blankets. As you sit up and stretch your arms, a loud, rumbling belch escapes your lips, reminding you of what happened. You shift yourself out of the nest of blankets to sit on the edge of the bed. With a look of drowsy contentment on your face, you place a hand on your bloated belly, giving it a playful push and watching what's left of Mina jiggle around. You check the time, shocked to find that only a couple hours have passed despite how small your belly is already. Not only that, but you're actually feeling a little hungry, and it is dinner time.

Clapping a hand over your mouth, you get up and head into her bathroom, realizing you should probably let her out somewhere easier to clean. With one arm supporting your aching belly, you manage to just barely stumble over to her shower in time, already feeling her head pushing back into your mouth.

Mina sits up almost immediately, her face completely concealed by her long hair that's now drenched in stomach acid. The rest of her body is similarly soaked, and she's been stripped down to her underwear by the efforts of your stomach. She parts her hair and pulls it back, giving you a rare sight: Not only is her entire face actually visible for once, but she's grinning. "$name, I did it!" she squeals, clapping her hands together. She quickly gets to her feet, seemingly unaware of, or unbothered by, the state of her outfit. <<if $preyHealth < 2>>"You sure did..!" you say, smiling at her between coughs. Then you start to feel guilty and give her a sheepish look, hoping she isn't too angry with you. "Um, Mina, look, I'm sorry--" "Do not worry, I understand! You knew I needed an extra push to reach my goal," she says, still smiling. "Thank you." "O-Oh, of course!" you reply with a nervous laugh. You breathe a subtle sigh of relief. "I knew you could do it!" "I knew the risk, and I have caused you pain even though you are helping me, so there is no need to be sorry," she says, seeming proud but starting to return more to her normal self.<<else>>"You sure did..!" you say, smiling at her between coughs.

"Well, not to put a damper on things, but do remember that I wasn't doing anything to try and keep you down, if anyone eats you for real it's going to be a lot tougher," you say.

"I am not particularly interested in being a predator, and I very much doubt I could do much to help you with your escaping." "Well, I know you may not be super interested in it, but to get good enough grades to advance here so you can continue to train your escaping skills you're going to have to be reasonably competent at eating people too," you say. "While we're already training, why not work on that too?" "I suppose you have a point... but that is not the only problem with the idea," she says. You notice her quickly looking your over. "Oh?" "You are too large, $name," Mina says. "I do not mean to be rude, but I would struggle to get someone of your height down even if they were underweight. <<if $escapismLabMina>>You are even larger than you were in lab the other day now, and I barely managed then<<else>>I think I would hurt myself trying<</if>>."

<<Time 14>>Feeling like you may have better odds of finding prey that's manageable on the second floor, you take a left from your dorm and head for the stairs. Maybe you'll even be able to grab someone coming out of their room. After heading upstairs, it doesn't take long for you to spot a potential meal--a blonde girl with blue highlights and a low cut shirt that stops just short of her bellybutton is heading your way. <<if $ateAshley>>She looks vaguely familiar for some reason, but you can't quite place where you've seen her. <</if>>She's walking alone and is clearly distracted by her phone, barely paying any attention to her surroundings. At first glance she looks like the perfect target. However, shortly after you spot her, she turns the corner to make her way across the bridge to Lampton. It's a bit late to be heading to the cafeteria to grab lunch, and the more you think about how she's absorbed in her phone, the more likely it seems that she's an upperclassman with enough experience to not be worried about dropping her guard around freshmen. \ <<link "Go for her">> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to false>> <<set _baseline to 8>> <<set _modifier to 5>> <<set $stamina -= 5>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto [[On the Hunt- Eat Nicole]]>> <<else>> <<goto [[On the Hunt- Eaten by Nicole]]>> <</if>> <</link>> <<link "Go for her (Aggressive)">> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to true>> <<set _baseline to 8>> <<set _modifier to 5>> <<set $stamina -= 5>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto [[On the Hunt- Eat Nicole]]>> <<else>> <<goto [[On the Hunt- Eaten by Nicole]]>> <</if>> <</link>> <<link "Too risky, wait and find someone else">><<replace "#choice">>You decide that it's not worth the risk to go after her. <<if $totalPrey > 2>>Even though you've been doing pretty well for yourself so far, you're not confident enough to go after someone above your grade this early.<<else>>Going after someone who seems likely to be at least a sophomore this early on is definitely a bad idea.<</if>><<if $analAteOlivia>> Olivia was just a lucky fluke, you can't take it as proof of anything.<<elseif $ateAshley>> Sure you may have technically eaten a junior already, but Ashley could have easily beaten you in any other circumstances than what happened at the party, you can't take it as proof of anything.<</if>> So, you ignore the girl and carry on your way, heading through the halls towards the classrooms on the other side of the building. Unfortunately, you don't end up having much luck after that first opportunity. The upstairs halls are pretty barren, and even after spending a couple //hours// walking through the loop of hallways and trying to lie in wait in various spots, you only ever come across not only a large group, but a group of what looks like at least juniors. Somehow, there's not a single person who comes by that you have any confidence you could handle. Eventually, your stomach lets out a pained growl and you check the time, finding that it's gotten late enough that you may as well just head to the dining hall for dinner. [[Head to dinner->September 5th- Dinner]]<</replace>><</link>>

<<Time 14>>Feeling like you're likely to have more options available if you use the main hall of Karbo, you stick to prowling the first floor. You head around the corner from your dorm, starting to make your way through the halls. You start by making your way over to the classroom halls on the other side of the building since there may be some classes getting out around now. Sure enough, you pass by a crowd of what looks like freshman going the opposite way as you. Unfortunately, there aren't really any stragglers and none of them seem to be particularly easy targets, so you carry on. As you make a slow loop through the block of classrooms, fortune does not seem to be on your side. More than once, you spot a lone girl that seems like a potential target you could handle, only for them to enter into one of the classrooms long before you would have even had the chance to catch them if you'd tried. You continue to prowl the halls, but even with another loop around no opportunities present themself. You change tactics and head for the main hall instead. Unfortunately, you don't fare much better here. It just doesn't seem to be your day, as even alternating between waiting in the lobby for people to come by and passing through the main hall you can't find anyone who isn't in a big group or clearly out of your league. When it starts to get close to four o'clock, you start to head back to the classroom halls to see if you'll have more luck this time, starting to think you may have to <<if $samRel > 1>>take a page out of Sam's playbook and try to lure someone away<<else>>get trickier if you want a meal here<</if>>. However, as you make your way through the main hall you realize the tables may have just turned on you. You can hear someone walking behind you, and sure enough, when you sneak a glance while turning the corner you recognize her as a girl who had also been sitting in the lobby. An upperclassman from the looks of it. It could just be a coincidence that she left at the same time as you, but... To be safe, especially after she seemed to still be behind you after heading towards the classroom halls, you duck into a nearby bathroom as soon as you're pretty sure you're out of her sight. Unfortunately, the bathroom is still occupied, and bursting in like you did startles the girl washing her hands at the sink. "Jesus fucking... give me a heart attack why don't you," the girl sighs, clearly irritated. She has light brown hair, and is wearing a v-necked shirt with black shorts. While she's on the shorter side, she is very plump, to the point you can't help but note that she would make a pretty decent dinner. As you look her over, your stomach lets out a low growl, reminding you why you left your room in the first place. If you had to guess, you'd say that the girl in front of you is a freshman. It wouldn't be too hard to get her down, and with her in your stomach you wouldn't have to worry about that upperclassman who was stalking you. "... Are you just a dumbass, or do I already have to eat my second person from this school?" the girl asks, now standing in front of you, annoyed that you're blocking her exit. \ <<link "Go for it">> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to false>> <<set _baseline to 10>> <<set _modifier to 0>> <<set $stamina -= 8>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto [[On the Hunt- Eat Amelia]]>> <<else>> <<replace "#choice">>\ "Ah, sorry about that," you apologize, stepping to the side.

As her hand reaches for the door, you make your move, striking out quickly to grab her wrist. In your haste, however, you barely graze her skin, your lunge forward bringing you down to eye level with her. You start to stand back up for a second attempt, but her defenses are already up.

You shakily get up to your feet, wanting to at least lock the door to make sure no one walks in while you're catching your breath. However, right when your hand touches the lock, you hear a familiar voice scream. Peeking out from the bathroom, you witness a pair of legs wearing familiar shoes quickly disappearing down the mouth of the girl that had been following you earlier. In what feels like a matter of seconds, your would-be dinner is completely swallowed, a loud belch sealing her fate. As soon as she's finished, the upperclassman walks off towards Lampton, her stride barely affected by her newly bulging belly. While you failed to grab her for dinner, you don't expect her to escape the upperclassman's stomach. Still clutching your nose, you walk over to the mirror to assess the damage. It's bleeding, but luckily your would-be-dinner didn't seem to hit hard enough to deal lasting damage. Grabbing some paper towels from the dispenser is enough to get you cleaned up, and you decide to stay in the bathroom while you catch your breath and wait for the bleeding to stop.

The fact that she's distracted by her phone gives you the perfect opportunity to strike--and if you're correct that she's an upperclassman, chances are you're really going to need that extra help. Walking quickly, you attempt to close the distance between the two of you. Things seem to be going perfectly, you're only a couple feet behind her, and she doesn't seem to have even noticed you stalking her. Holding your breath, you lunge in to close the final stretch, practically pouncing on her as you move in close, and raising your hand to cover her mouth. "MMRG--!?" She tries to exclaim something in surprise, but you manage to silence her before she can say anything, and with a simple push, her head is shoved into your waiting mouth. A girl who was passing by jumps back as you make your move, but once she sees she's not a target she continues on her route, leaving you alone as you work your mouth over your prey's shoulders, your throat bulging as her head begins its descent. Her arms are blindly flailing, trying to reach behind her in an attempt to push herself out, but before she can find a grip you manage to wrestle them away, locking them at her sides as you continue to swallow.<</if>> The low cut of her shirt actually gives you a pretty good, long taste of her skin, when her hair isn't in the way at least. She has a subtle bubblegum flavor, one that's cut off far too quickly once you get to her shirt. Once you get to her waist, she stops struggling. While the break is nice, it doesn't take long to realize that she's saving her energy for her escape. Still, the break is undeniably welcome, and once you're past her shorts it means you have plenty of time to finish enjoying her. Taking a moment to enjoy her taste one last time, her legs disappear behind your lips, and your mouth closes around her feet, one final gulp sending the last of her down your throat. @@color:yellowgreen;You overpowered your prey.@@ Leaning against the wall and supporting your now bulging belly with your arms, you're able to stand pretty comfortably, even with her weight inside you.

Then you're even dumber than the one I was going to eat."<<else>>"I mean, walking around with your nose practically touching your phone? You do remember what everyone is at this school for, right?" You hear her snicker slightly from within your stomach. "Please, I stopped being nervous walking the freshman halls before the end of my first semester. You know, after it was clear that even the people there who could get me down couldn't keep me there," she replies, her tone surprisingly smug for someone inside a stomach. At least this confirms your suspicion she might be an upperclassman. "So I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you're a freshie who thought she was grabbing another freshie. But I'm a sophomore, and if you're a good girl and let me out asap, I'll forget about you messing up my hair and you won't have to end today as Nicole Vasari's tits."<</if>> <<if $analAteOlivia or $ateAshley>>"Oh, don't worry. You aren't the first upperclassman I've //*uuurp*// churned to a pulp in here, and you definitely won't be the last," you explain, stroking your bulging belly confidently and letting out a belch for emphasis. Conveniently, you leave out the fact that your past efforts were on less than equal footing. Nicole gives a small whistle from inside your stomach. "Not bad, it took me a couple weeks to nab my first sophomore last year," she says you, your history clearly not a source of worry for her. "It's a shame that talent's going to be reduced to a gurgling stew by the end of the day."<<else>>While you can't deny you are a little worried seeing her confidence even after being eaten, you were prepared for her being an upperclassman. <<if $day5SavedMandy is "nicole">>"Well, I swallowed you knowing you weren't a freshman, so yeah, I am pretty confident I can handle you.

Just shut up and go away..." "Haha, fine, good luck. I'll see you back at the dorm," the other girl laughs, walking off and leaving you to your fate. With the interruption over, Nicole doesn't waste any more time. She opens her mouth wide and forces your head inside, immediately starting to swallow you down further. She doesn't give you even the lightest room to wiggle free, using her still-slimy body to keep yours locked in exactly the position she needs, slowly sitting up as she swallows you down.\ <<else>>\ <<if $day5SavedMandy is "nicole">>You make up your mind, deciding that you're going to rescue Mandy and catch yourself a meal at the same time. She may be an upperclassman, but you're feeling pretty confident in your abilities, and with her focus on Mandy and the element of surprise on your side you should at least be able to get her down pretty easily. Taking a quick deep breath, you move in to sneak up behind Nicole. Right as you're about to make your move, Mandy finally notices your presence. "<<print $name[0]>>-$name?" she says with a slight tinge of hope in her voice. "Huh?" Nicole says, pausing just as she was moving in to swallow her when she notices that Mandy is looking behind her. You curse under your breath and lunge forward, managing to lock her arms down with a tight hug from behind. "Ugh, seriously?" "Mandy run!" you shout, squeezing Nicole tight as she shifts against your grip. Mandy doesn't need any time to process your instructions, immediately bolting off toward Karbo. "Fine freshie, I'll eat you instead, if you insist," Nicole grunts, twisting and throwing her weight forward to try and throw you off.

Then she bursts out laughing. "HAHA! Oh god, you're the girl who won at the party the other night aren't you? That whole 'freshman champion' thing really went to your head, huh?" "Yeah, that's me," you say, trying to sound confident as you attempt to wriggle out of her grip. "Got forcefed a junior and now you think you're a big shot, what a dumbass," she laughs. "You know you couldn't have even dreamed of keeping Ashley down for real, right? What makes you think you could take on an upperclassman all on your own?" "I thought you were a freshman..." you lie. She chuckles and steps uncomfortably close as you attempt to throw her off, wedging one of her legs between yours to leave you completely locked down. "Aw, lying doesn't suit you, 'wildcard'. Don't tell me you don't remember me?" she says in a condescending tone. You suddenly remember why she seemed familiar--she talked with you at the party. "Look, I don't really care that you saved your buddy, but someone still needs to snap this choker.~"<<else>>"Alright, let's just cut to the chase," she says, somehow looking both smug and annoyed at the same time.

However, with the element of surprise lost, your prey quickly recovers. She reaches back and gets a grip on your shoulders before you can grab her arms, and with a hard shove her head is uncomfortably pulled back almost all the way out of your mouth. Then, she swings one of her arms back to elbow you hard in the gut, knocking the wind out of you and forcing you to stumble back and surrender the tiny bit of progress you'd retained. @@color:orange;Your strength fails you.@@ "Ugh, come on, what dumbass freshman..." the girl growls, turning her head to glare at you. Her hair is a little disheveled from her brief time inside of you, and now that you're getting a closer look at her you notice she's wearing small silver earrings and a dark blue choker.

"I, uh, thought you were someone else?" The girl laughs as she quickly steps forward and grips your shoulder, shoving you back against the wall. "Aw, you know in a way, I'm sure you did freshie." She easily grabs your free arm and locks it down as you lift it to try and push hers away. "I'm Nicole, I was on my way back to my dorm before you rudely interrupted. It's on the other side of Lampton. You know what that means, freshie?" "You're a sophomore..." you mutter.

The difference in experience is immediately clear.<</if>> You can feel the strange sensation of her choker squeezing against you as you slide down her throat, your head passing through an extra ring of pressure as it's squeezed along. It only lasts until your shoulders are passed down into her esophagus. She seems to struggle slightly pulling them down and you can feel the pressure mounting, then //*snap*//--just as she'd hoped, the band gives out and lets you pass. With that out of the way, she starts to speed up the process, quickly dragging you down into her gut. You give up resisting as your body starts to curl up into her cramped stomach, knowing you're helpless to stop her gulping you down and instead saving your strength. She stops only once, pausing just before swallowing your hips to spank your ass--and she doesn't hold back. It's enough to make you yelp and inadvertently pull yourself deeper.

Her arm all but shoots out of your throat, followed quickly by her head and shoulders, more and more of her painfully sliding out of your mouth until she's fully released onto the floor of the bridge. <<if $preyHealth is 1>>"Ha! See, this is what happens when you bite off more than you can chew," Nicole shouts. Your stomach was clearly much more intense that she was expecting. She's completely naked, laying in a pool of digestive juices and slowly trying to force herself up. Her back is covered in red splotches from where the acid was starting to dig in, and her breathing has become heavy and labored. "Since I'm feeling generous, I'll even let you walk away from this one." "What... Scared I'm going to get you back down..?" you groan, clutching your stomach. It feels much better now without her in it, but the pain is far from gone. "Try me, bitch..." she snaps back, stumbling back onto her feet. "Try to avoid pissing off any more sophomores. I'd rather you not get digested before I've had my chance to pay you back for this." She walks towards Lampton, her steps uneven and shaky, leaving you on the floor clutching your gut. With a groan, you sit yourself upright and wipe off your mouth. You decide that just sitting in the hallway to the upperclassmen dorms like this while waiting to recover will probably only lead to getting eaten yourself, and resolve to make your way back to your own dorm as quickly as you can with your aching belly. <<include "playerPredFail">><<set $ateNicole to false>>[[Flee to your dorm->September 5th- Before Dinner]]<<else>>\ "Ha!

You're bent over clutching your stomach, still reeling from her escape. She steps closer and cracks her knuckles, grinning. "Not quite freshie. Your dumb ass tried to digest me, ruined my hair, ruined my outfit, and you think you're just walking away?" she says.

With an annoyed grunt, you hear Nicole give chase, but it seems like she's more tired out than she let on because she gives up before you've even reached the end of the bridge.

But fine, if you're so desperate to try to take on a sophomore--" Her next blow sends a distressed groan through your stomach, its whine begging you to get your meal under control. You can at least feel her starting to slow down, her breathing getting heavier as the outburst starts to take its toll, but its little consolation for the stomachache she's giving you.

<<if $preyHealth is 0>> <<append "#digestion">> As time passes, your stomach continues to fill with acid, slowly making Nicole's curves less defined. Every attack she makes is accompanied by a satisfying splash, and winds up weaker than the one before. At this point, it feels more like a massage, and even when she lands a hit against a particularly sensitive spot, the worst she manages to stir up is a small burp. "Damn it..." she grumbles, her breathing becoming heavier as she strains to speak. You feel her deliver a weak punch to the walls of your stomach, but your belly doesn't even budge. "Careful, if you move around too much in there, you might wind up finishing yourself off," you taunt, lightly running your hands over your belly, careful not to crush her yourself. You can't help but be proud--a sophomore is sitting inside your stomach all but digested, and despite the year of training she has on you, it's a victory you accomplished all on your own. It's clear that it will end all too soon, and you choose to savor the moment for as long as you can. "Just... Fuck off... I don't need this right now, especially from you..." Despite how weak her struggles have become, she's still fighting. Apparently trying to make up for underestimating you in the beginning, she's giving it everything she has right up to the end. "After I'm out... I'm taking the longest, hottest fucking shower in the world..." "Hey, I get it. It's hard to accept being eaten by a freshman a couple days into the first semester, but it's starting to get embarrassing don't you think?" you taunt, satisfied that you've won. You're more than happy to take the moment to relax as your hard won meal churns away inside you. You lean back, looking at the clouds through the windows lining the roof of the bridge as Nicole's ever slowing efforts begin to fade away. The low groans from your stomach and the soft splashing of her weakening struggles make the scene feel particularly peaceful. Confident that nothing your prey throws at you will get her out at this point, you let out a content sigh and spend some time simply enjoying the end of a successful hunt. A couple students pass by as you wait for Nicole to finish digesting, but few do more than stare as they pass, keeping out of arm's reach on the off chance that you have room for more. After a while, the sound of splashing completely stop. You reach under your belly, its softness already telling you that all that's left of Nicole is a churning mess--but it never hurts to double check. Lightly bouncing your stomach is rewarded with a satisfying splashing sound as you feel the digested slurry within struggle to settle into place. Pressure builds up inside you, until-- //"*OOUUURRRRRRRRP!*"// With a deep, satisfying belch, your bloated belly immediately feels better, now slightly smaller and more taut without the excess gas. With no doubt left that Nicole is completely gone, you give your tummy a satisfied pat. @@color:lime;Nicole has been digested!@@ You push yourself off the wall, stumbling slightly as the weight of your belly pulls you forward.

"I can't shake the feeling that I've seen you before, but... well, I know we don't have any classes together, obviously." "Uh, considering I didn't see your face before you shoved me in it, I don't exactly know if I've seen you around," Nicole says. "You want to tell the girl you're trying to eat your name?" "Oh! Right, good point. It's $name? $name $last?" "$name... No, isn't ringing a... Wait, were you at Maeve's party?" "Ugh, don't remind me. My stomach is hurting again just thinking about it." Now that you think back on it, you do seem to remember a blonde girl with blue highlights coming up to you during the party, together with a short haired brunette. Unexpectedly, Nicole starts laughing from inside your stomach. "HAHAHA! NO SHIT! You're the freshman champion, that's adorable!" she blurts out. "Oh my god, what, you get a junior fed to you and suddenly think you can do it on your own? Holy shit, this is hilarious!" "Hey, you know that junior digested in the same stomach you're in, right?" you ask, giving your belly a shove. "Haha, yeah, because you were really the one in control there," she says, her laughter starting to die down. "God, I needed that. I can't wait to tell my friends that I got to eat Maeve's 'top freshman' because she got too excited over their fake little title."

"What's wrong freshie? It's just a simple question. You're cute, I want your opinion on it," a blonde girl on the bridge says. She has blue highlights in her hair and a low cut shirt that stops just short of her bellybutton. She's also got a dark blue choker around her neck, which she's currently pointing to. <<if $ateAshley>>She looks vaguely familiar for some reason, but you can't quite place where you've seen her. <</if>>"C'mon, do you think it looks good?" The blonde is looming over someone that she has backed up against the wall of the bridge, one of her hands planted firmly on the girl's shoulder. She's also slightly stepping forward, wedging one of her legs between those of the shorter girl she's targetting. You freeze as you get a closer look at her prey... "U-Um it... looks nice... I guess?" Mandy replies. She's trembling a little as she looks up at the upperclassman cornering her. "Please let me go." "Aw, I'm so glad you think so!" the blonde says with a little laugh. She seems to soften her grip and ease back a bit, a smile spreading across her face. "You know I've got plenty more just like this one so--oh sorry, I never introduced myself did I? I'm Nicole." "I'm, uh, Mandy," Mandy says, starting to relax a little. "Well, Mandy, like I was saying, I've got a lot of chokers just like this one, so if you want since you like it..." Nicole gets a smug look on her face and grabs Mandy's other shoulder, pressing her back against the wall with an even more aggressive stance than before. "I'll let you snap this one.~" You're not quite sure what to do here. Based on her taunting, Nicole is at least a sophomore, which means you probably don't want to mess with her, but on the other hand... at this point, if anyone is going to eat Mandy it ought to be you. In fact, with the present situation you feel like your only chance of rescuing Mandy without getting yourself eaten instead may be to swoop in and swallow her yourself--whether or not you plan on actually digesting her, it would get Mandy away from Nicole //and// stop her from being able to eat you in revenge.<<if $ateMina>> It worked when you did it with Mina, at least.<</if>> Then again, since you were already on the hunt, maybe you could take advantage of Mandy's distraction to score a more impressive meal...

The upstairs halls are pretty barren, and even after spending a couple //hours// walking through the loop of hallways and trying to lie in wait in various spots, you only ever come across not only a large group, but a group of what looks like at least juniors.

While you're watching with a somewhat confused look, a short asian girl returns to the table with two more plates, and she seems to really be the only one sitting there.<<if $metIzumi>> You quickly realize you recognize her: it's Izumi from Cooking Club.<</if>> \ Realizing this might be a good opportunity to smooth things over with Leah, you start to head over to the table where she and Mallory are sitting.

She glances over at Leah, then shakes her head at you. You get the message and decide to sit somewhere else instead. \ Fascinated by the feast that's being prepared, you decide to head over to see what <<if $metIzumi>>Izumi<<else>>the girl<</if>> is up to. You survey all of the plates scattered around the table as you approach. It's a shocking amount of food: plates with sandwiches and wraps stacked into pyramids so tall they look like they're in danger of toppling, over a dozen dishes with mountains of various pasta spread around, and the most recent plates she set down stacked high with garlic bread, all spread in a semicircle around a single seat. You're starting to wonder if there's even food left up at the buffet line right now. Alongside all the food, she also has three glasses of water. <<if $metIzumi>>"Yes?" Izumi says, noticing you staring. Then she cocks her head slightly. "Oh, you are in cooking club, right? Do you need something?" "Yeah, hey! I'm just kind of curious about... all this," you say, gesturing to the packed tabletop. "I know you have a big appetite, but are you really going to eat all of this yourself?" "Of course!" she says with a smile. "Pasta night is my favorite, so many delicious things all served together." "But like... this much?"<<else>>"Yes?" the girl says, noticing you staring. She speaks with a noticeable accent. She has long black hair tied back into a ponytail and brown eyes. Seeing the feast she's set out, you're even more intrigued by the fact that she's very petite, other than a pretty impressive bust. "Do you need something?" "Uh, sorry, I'm just kind of curious about... all this," you say, gesturing to the packed tabletop. "Are you like throwing a dinner party or something?" The girl smirks. "You must be new here, my name is Izumi. This is all for me," she says, pulling a plate of ziti in front of her and grabbing a fork. "Pasta night is my favorite." "Seriously?" you ask, glancing around at the food, then back at her petite frame.<</if>> She giggles. "I like to eat." She pauses for a moment and seems to look you over, her gaze settling on your gut. She sighs. "I do not like to be watched though, please go somewhere else." "Oh, uh, sure, sorry.

A few girls are impatiently waiting by an empty tray near the pasta--you gather from their grumbling that there //was// garlic bread, but someone took literally all of it shortly after it was last refilled. Ignoring the commotion, you stick to the sandwiches, putting a few on your plate. As you start to walk off your stomach growls again and you pause to look back. You quickly throw a couple of the wraps on as well, then head over to an open table. You dig into your food, starting with the sandwiches you'd originally grabbed. At first you pace yourself, but your stomach has really gotten worked up for some reason and soon you're tearing through everything you'd packed onto your plate.

She isn't going to like your methods, but there's one plan that can get you both out of this safely. So, you take a quick deep breath, then rush forward towards the two girls. Just as Nicole is about to force Mandy's head into her mouth, you shove her aside as hard as you can. She lets out a scream of genuine shock, clearly not even aware that anyone else was nearby, and the push knocks her to the ground. Mandy immediately looks up at you, seeming confused but not really any less scared than she was when she was staring into Nicole's mouth. "$name..?" she whimpers. "Okay Mandy I know you're gonna hate this and things are weird between us..." you say, quickly getting a grip on her shoulders. You can't afford to waste any time, Nicole won't be down for long. "But you've gotta trust me." You don't give her time to respond before shoving her head into your mouth. Muffled outrage rings out from your throat as you get to work quickly swallowing down the short girl, who is clearly not happy about this method of rescue. She starts trying to push you away and even kicks at your legs, but you don't let anything slow you down, keeping her arms locked down tight as you pull her deeper and deeper into your body. By now, Nicole has recovered from the surprise attack and gotten back to her feet. Luckily, she doesn't seem intent on trying to intervene. She's just standing beside you with her arms crossed, tapping her foot as she watches Mandy's hips slide down into your mouth. You still don't risk slowing down, making short work of her flailing legs to get her safely packed away in your gut. "//*UUUrrrp*// Ahh, thanks for--" you start to say, attempting to taunt Nicole. But you've barely even felt the last of Mandy curl up into your belly before your bulging stomach kicks to life. "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU <<print $name.toUpperCase()>>!" Mandy screams from inside of you, thrashing with worrying intensity. "Why do you keep doing this to me? I KNEW you just wanted me for yourself on Monday! You're awful!" "Woah, //*uuurrrp*// woah, take it easy! I'm not--" "SHUT UP!" Mandy shouts, cutting you off. It sounds like she's on the verge of tears, if she isn't already crying in there. "Why can't you just leave me alone? I don't deserve--" "Hey, hey, take it easy Mandy, your friend's telling the truth, she's not going to digest you," Nicole cuts in with a laugh. She rests a hand on your thrashing belly, then gives you a smug look. "This isn't that uncommon of a trick, though it's annoying that people are already figuring it out week one. She swallowed you so that I wouldn't be able to eat //either// of you. She's planning on letting you out once the coast is clear, right?" "Well... yeah," you admit. You give the side of your belly a gentle rub to try and reassure Mandy. "Guess there's no need to //*urp*// pretend, it's not like you can do anything anyways." Mandy's tantrum slows down, finally giving your stomach some relief. She doesn't say anything, and you even hear a slight whimper, but she seems to accept the situation. "Right, right," Nicole chuckles, stepping closer. "Only problem for you, though, is that you kinda //need// the coast to be clear for it to work, right? It's really easy to swallow someone who just puked up their guts, you know." "Uhh...." you say. You start to try and back away, but she matches your pace, smirking at you. "I don't think I caught your name, what was it your prey said?" she says, standing uncomfortably close to you. "Let's get to know each other while you digest her." <<include $sceneActionsLink>> <div id="actions" style="text-align:center"><<include "predOptions">></div>

<<if $preyHealth is 0>> <<append "#digestion">> Despite Mandy's burst of energy, she spent far too long letting your stomach have its way with her to have any real hope of escape. The intensity of her thrashing was starting to make you worry, but you can already feel her slowing down. You grin and begin to gently massage your bloated belly. "All //*urp*// done in there?" you say in a soft tone. "I... can't believe you $name..." Mandy says. She finally gives up the struggle entirely, just hugging her legs tight. You can hear her start to sniffle. "Aw, don't cry. Just let it happen~" you say as your run your hands along the softening bulge of her belly. "Why..." she mumbles. "I never did anything to you, and you... you went out of your way to..." <<link "Be gentle">><<replace "#choice">> "Oh Mandy..." you sigh, starting to shift your massaging efforts to focus more on soothing her than yourself. "Just try to relax. It's... our whole relationship has been complicated." "No... you always just wanted to eat me..." she pouts. You feel her starting to lean back into your massage despite herself. <<if $mandyEscaped is "released">>"Even though you let me out that first time... it must have just been some sick joke..."<</if>> "Mmh, it's not quite like that..." you say. You briefly pause your massage to give your belly a hug. "I mean I did //*urp*// try to eat you during the tour, but then... I kind of got attached. I put myself in danger to save you, twice now, remember?" "Then let me out... There's still time." "Ah, but at the same time... I had to save you //twice//, Mandy. You were a goner if I hadn't done anything," you say, resuming your rubbing. Mandy stays silent. "And it's still just the first week. Originally, I really did swallow you just to get you away, but after having so long to think about it with you in there... C'mon Mandy, left on your own you aren't going to last long here. You know that." "That's not..." Mandy says, trailing off with a sniffle. "Shh, it's alright, you don't have to worry about it anymore," you say, rubbing your hands in a little deeper. "When I realized that, I decided: wouldn't it be at least a little better if I was the one to do it? I was kind of hoping you would just drift off without catching on..." "I... I guess if I had to..." Mandy mumbles. "But..." You smile and give your gut another hug. "It's alright, just relax and let go.~" Mandy doesn't speak up again, resigning herself to her fate as your meal. You keep up your massage, soothing your belly as the form inside slowly softens and almost seems to disappear. Before long, you stop feeling any sort of movement, and it seems to be over. Your belly rumbles as you give it a gentle squeeze. "//*UUUURRRRRP!*//" You blush a little as your enourmous belch echoes through the halls. Then you sigh and pat your belly. "Goodbye, Mandy..." <</replace>><<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">><</link>> <<link "Be cruel">><<replace "#choice">> <<set $karma -= 1>> "Why? It should be obvious," you say with a laugh.

The only reason I ever saved you is because you're //my// meal, and I wasn't going to let anyone else have you." <<if $mandyEscaped is "released">>"B-But you let me out the first time..!" Mandy says, unable to put up any resistance to the pressure you're putting on her. "Why..?" "Pfft, that was just because I realized //I// might get eaten if I ditched the tour.

Mandy shouts, clearly strained by your tight hug. "I hate you..." "Aw, insults are //*urp*// all you've got left, huh?" you say. Getting a devious grin, you release your hold on her, only to grab your belly from either side and start to shake it back and forth. "Well, if you don't want to get melted into fat, you're gonna need more than that. Come on, show me what you're got!" Mandy whimpers as you keep up your assault, relentlessly shaking up the contents of your belly, even starting to put your hips into it. You can hear all kinds of splashing and sloshing from the chaos you're kicking up. Once you think she's had enough, you bring an end to the onslaught by pressing your gut against the wall. Mandy squirms a little, but still doesn't say anything. "That's what I //*ouurrrp*// thought~" you say, pushing forward even harder for a moment before finally easing off. "You sure you don't have anything else to say? 'I hate you' is kind of //*urp*// sad to have as your final words." There's a silent pause as you wait for a response. Then, just as you hear her start to make any kind of noise, you squeeze your gut as hard as you can. Your arms wrap tight around the softening bulge she's making, all while you pull your stomach muscles as tight as you can, absolutely crushing your already defeated prey. You may be getting carried away here, but you're caught up in the rush of reclaiming your lost prey. Finally, when your arms start to feel sore, you release, letting your gut bounce back into its normal position with a satisfying //*slosh*//. You no longer feel any kind of movement from within. "//*UUUUURRRRRP!*//" An enourmous belch echoes through the halls when you finally ease up. You grin and pat the top of your belly. "Finally where you belong.~" <</replace>><<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">><</link>> @@color:lime;Mandy has been digested!@@ With your prey dealt with, you step away from the wall and stretch out your arms.

"Are you seriously //*urp*// gonna do this?" You rest a hand on your belly for a moment and give it an apologetic pat. "Sorry Mandy, that was involuntary." "What do you mean?" Nicole says with a smirk. "You shouldn't be eating people you aren't willing to turn to mush unless you're in class. You can just let her out whenever you want if you'd prefer." "You're not getting a meal out of this, fuck off," you say, turning around and starting to walk off in the other direction.

For now, you're just hoping she gets bored and gives up before Mandy digests or loses faith in you.

"Well, y'know usually //*URP*//," you say, subtly squeezing your muscles to push out a burp on purpose, "my prey just struggles like crazy and //*urp*// throws insults. This is a rare chance to have someone explain what my stomach is like while it's //*uuurrrrrp*// fully active. So tell me how you're feeling!" "Oh... um... it's really hot, and gross... the walls are really slimy and they keep grinding against me, it's really uncomfortable," Mandy says. She lets out a little whimper.

"Aw c'mon, it's //*URP*// interesting!" you say. While you were doing this just to mess with her, you have your fingers crossed you can get her to keep going--more than just your stomach has been heating up listening to her description. You continue to put pressure on your stomach to make yourself burp while you talk, trying to see how long it takes her to realize it's on purpose. With a grin, you pause for a moment to twist your hips, shaking your belly back and forth before continuing. "What about //*urp*// that? What was that like?" "It was gross, stop!" Mandy pleads, pushing her arms out a bit. "All your acid is still shaking around a ton now..." You stifle a laugh, amazed that she's still playing along at this point after how angry she was when you first swallowed her. "Okay, //*Uuurp*// okay... so what about this then?" You start to push in on your belly from either side, clearly pressing harder than just a massage. You shift one hand up and the other down, then reverse, continuing to slide them back and forth while Mandy is squeezed between your grip. "$name, seriously, stop!" she protests. "Just hurry up so I can get out of here!" You can't take it anymore and burst out laughing. "Oh my god, I can't believe you honestly think I'm taking you to your room!" you say, giving the side of your gut a hard smack. "Y-You..!" Mandy says in a hushed tone. "This whole time..?"

Digesting her now under the guise that you're helping her would be too cruel, you'll just have to find a real meal after letting her go. Besides, even if she started out as your prey when you first met, you've gotten kind of attached to her at this point. You turn to head back towards the dorm hall, keeping an eye out for Nicole as you walk. As far as you can tell, she really did leave and isn't just waiting for you to let your guard down. So, with Mandy bouncing along with you, you carry on your way. There's a soft sloshing sound coming from inside your gut with every step, your stomach clearly already doing its best to try and break Mandy down. "How are you //*urp*// doing in there, Mandy?" you say, gently running your hands along your belly. You try to focus more on soothing her than yourself, tracing the bulge she's making until you find her shoulders before starting to push in a little deeper. "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to have you in there for so long..." "I'm... I'm fine... It's scary, but things aren't too bad yet," Mandy mumbles. You feel her start to relax a bit under your efforts. Then your stomach lets out a loud groan and she tense up again. "B-But please hurry..." "Don't worry, I'm almost there," you say in a soft voice, giving her a pat on the back. You pick up the pace a little for her sake. It doesn't take much longer to arrive at the dorm hall, and you head right over to the room number she gave. It's pretty close to where you found her in the first place--she must have been either on her way back or only just stepping out of her dorm and happened to have very unfortunate timing. "Okay... K227, right?" you say, tapping her head to make sure you have her attention. "Yes!" she quickly responds. "Alright then, brace yourself..." you say, taking a deep breath yourself. After double checking that Nicole, or anyone else for that matter, isn't around, you wrap your arms around the lower half of your belly and start to push inward. Mandy whimpers a little as the pressure starts to ramp up. Not entirely sure what you're doing, you start to push in harder, experimentally squeezing your stomach muscles in hopes that your body gets the message. Finally, you seem to hit the sweet spot and, with a sour groan from your stomach, you feel her head push back up into your throat. Once she's started her journey back towards freedom, it doesn't take long to finish the job. With you actively encouraging her return trip, she smoothly slides back out of your mouth and onto the ground in front of her dorm. It isn't pleasant, but it also isn't as uncomfortable as you anticipated and you're pretty much feeling fine already just a few seconds after the last of her is out. She stays laying on the floor for a moment, completely drenched in digestive fluids and her clothes starting to fray a little at the edges. Then she seems to regain her composure and quickly sits up, carefully getting to her feet. Her face is bright red and there's still a panicked, uncertain look in her eyes. "Um, thanks..." she mumbles. "Of course! Glad I was able to get you out of there," you say with a nervous laugh. She pulls out her key and turns around without another word, seeming to fumble with the lock a little thanks to how slimy she is. \ <<link "Ask if she wants to hang out">><<replace "#choice">>\ "So, um... do you wanna hang out or something?" you ask, trying to fill the awkward silence. "All of our interactions so far have been... me eating you or saving you from getting eaten, we haven't really gotten a chance to get to know each other." <<if _fullTrust>>"Uh..." she seems a little surprised and pauses to consider the offer. "N-No, sorry, I'm about to take a really long shower so I, um, don't really have time."<<else>>"No!" she quickly blurts out.

For a moment it seems like she's just going to slam it in your face without another word, but she pauses while it's still open a crack. It slowly creaks open a little further and you see her worried, slimy face looking out at you. "Um, listen, $name... I...<<if _fullTrust>> Thanks again for saving me and all, Monday too, I really do appreciate it, but...<</if>>" she says, looking away and shifting in place a little. "Please just leave me alone from now on, okay? E-Even if I'm in trouble, <<if _fullTrust>>I... I don't want you putting yourself in danger for me...<<else>>just let me handle it, I don't want to keep stressing about this happening...<</if>>" She pulls the door shut and locks it before you can even reply, disappearing into her dorm. You sigh, disappointed but feeling like you can't really blame her. Your stomach growls and you place a hand on it. After gearing up to digest Mandy while she was in there, you're feeling even hungrier than when you left to go on the hunt in the first place. <<include "playerPredFail">>You start to head back down the hall, continuing where you left off when you ran into her and Nicole earlier. Unfortunately, you don't end up having much luck. The upstairs halls are pretty barren, and even after spending a couple //hours// walking through the loop of hallways and trying to lie in wait in various spots, you only ever come across not only a large group, but a group of what looks like at least juniors. Somehow, there's not a single person who comes by that you have any confidence you could handle. Eventually, your stomach lets out a pained growl, still yearning for the prey it had before, and you check the time, finding that it's gotten late enough that you may as well just head to the dining hall for dinner. [[Head to dinner->September 5th- Dinner]]

<<Time 14.5>><<set $ateMandyDay5 to false>>Mandy's furious thrashing doesn't seem to be slowing, her anger at being deceived completely removing any advantage you had from how long it took her to start fighting back. You're stunned at how much trouble she's giving you, and starting to get seriously worried that she's actually going to best you. That worry soon becomes reality as one of her arms finds its way into your esophagus. You choke and desperately cover your mouth, doing your best to try to swallow her back down. But it's no use, your stomach has clearly had enough of the extremely unruly prey you sent it. Slowly but surely, Mandy inches her way back up your throat, her acid-drenched fingers soon scraping along the back of your tongue. You make one final fruitless effort to drag her back down before she finally bursts out towards freedom. Mandy's slimy form slides out onto the floor of the hallway, leaving you kneeling in a fit of coughing. <<if $turn > 7>>She's completely naked after spending so long inside of you, but that doesn't seem to phase her at all as she quickly gets up to her feet.<<else>>She quickly scrambles to her feet, her body drenched in stomach acid and her clothes heavily damaged.<</if>> Her breathing is heavy, but there's clearly still adrenaline pumping through her veins. She takes off running long before you can even get a word in. "I HATE YOU, LEAVE ME ALONE!" she screams as she runs away, presumably heading to the safety of her dorm. You watch her disappear around the corner with a sigh, needing a little longer to recover from her escape. Then, a little shakily, you stand back up and start to trudge back towards your own dorm, grumbling in irritation at the fact she somehow managed to come out on top. <<include "playerPredFail">>[[Head back to your dorm->September 5th- Before Dinner]]

<<Time 13>><<set $minaPred += 1>>"Hey Mina, after you get cleaned up, how about we do some training the other way around too?" you say as you watch her pick out a fresh outfit. She pauses and looks over at you. "You mean have me swallow you? Why?" she says, cocking her head a little. "I am not particularly interested in being a predator, and I very much doubt I could do much to help you with your escaping." "Well, I know you may not be super interested in it, but to get good enough grades to advance here so you can continue to train your escaping skills you're going to have to be reasonably competent at eating people too," you say. "While we're already training, why not work on that too?" "I suppose you have a point..." she says, mulling it over. "I do not mean to be rude, but you are quite big. I am not certain I will be able to get you down, but if you would like to try this I suppose it is only fair. To be honest, I may actually be worse at being a predator, I just do not have the same interest to improve." Finished getting a change of clothes together, she stands up and heads to the bathroom. "Excuse me a moment, you can wait on my bed while I shower." "Of course, take your time!" you say with a smile. "And I'm sure you'll be able to handle me." You sit back on the bed to wait, your belly a lot smaller than the previous time you spent with it. The strange realization hits you that you just actively convinced someone to eat you, but shrug off any odd feelings about it. It will be important for Mina. Much like when she got changed before, her shower is almost suspiciously fast. You're only waiting a few minutes before she steps out, fully clean and back in a more typical outfit. Her hair is soaking wet still, but it doesn't seem to bother her at all. "Alright, you ready to get started?" you ask. "I suppose so," she replies, seeming ever so slightly nervous. "Why don't we do this in the bathroom, I'm not sure you'll be able to move much once I'm in and it'll be easier to clean up after you let me out in there," you suggest. Mina just nods in response and you follow her into the bathroom, the air a little humid from her recent shower. "I think training this will be difficult for me," Mina says. "<<if $escapismLabMina>>You know from last time, you came right back up just moments after I got you down<<else>>In my lab, my stomach rejected my partner as soon as they moved at all<</if>>..." "I get the feeling that the main hurdle you have to overcome is your capacity, thanks to your height..." you say. "So, let's just train that! Once you get me down, I'll stay totally still instead of struggling, it'll just be a simple exercise to get your stomach to start stretching a bit. We'll say... keep me there for ten minutes? That should be enough time to have some effect while still getting me out before it gets too dangerous." "Okay, that does seem like it could be a good idea," Mina replies, giving another little nod. There's an awkward pause where you both just stare at each other. "So, uh, I guess let's just get to it..." you say, offering her your hands. "Bon appétit." She gingerly grabs your hands, seeming to study them for a moment before finally opening her mouth to get started. You feel the slimy warmth of her mouth begin to wrap around you as your fingers slide along her tongue towards her throat. She swallows, and your hands are dragged a few inches down into her esophagus. You give her a little nod of encouragement, then duck your head down to make it easier for her to fit in. It's a slow process, her insides tightly constricting you as you're gently nudged deeper and deeper into her body. She manages to bring you in pretty smoothly up until she reaches your shoulders. Then, the pace of your journey becomes glacial. She struggles to push past your chest, and even as her lips advance down your midriff you find yourself getting pushed in with rough, staggered effort. By the time she reaches your hips, she's forced to pause and recover before attemping to continue the monumental task. The walls of her stomach wrap tightly around you, already seeming strained despite only having half of you inside. Even her arms seem to be trembling as she begins to push onward again. It starts to look like you may have been too much for her after all as she wrestles with your hips, squeezing and pushing at the plush flesh of your butt long enough for you to start getting flustered, but after a while she's able to force it into her mouth. Despite the clearly ramping resistance from her body, Mina doesn't give up, slowly but surely choking you down until finally, with one last push, your feet are sent on their way to her stomach, the warmth of her body entirely sealing you in. "Oh my, that--//*Uurrp*// excuse me! Tha--//*urp*// oh..." Mina tries to say, seeming very flustered by her sudden gassiness. "...That was very unpleasant. Are you... excuse me a moment--//*URP*//--Are you okay, $name?" "I'm fine..." you say, your words slightly slurred with how snug the stomach walls are. "It's, uh, very tight in here, that's for sure. I'm glad I only said ten minutes!" "It is not very comfortable for me either, my belly is aching--//*urrrp*!// Oh I'm so sorry, this is horribly impolite of me..." "Haha don't worry about it, that's just something that happens when you've got someone in your gut," you say. "Especially when you take so long to swallow them, you probably took in a ton of air getting me down but there's not much space for it. Just try to relax and get used to the feeling, rubbing your belly usually helps." You don't really have to put any effort into staying still for her--her walls are wrapped so dangerously tight around you that you can barely move even if you tried. It feels like you've been vacuum-packed inside of her. Rather than the usual kneading and shifting, it feels more like her stomach is twitching and shivering around you, not sure what to do with such a large meal. You can feel Mina leaning forward against you, lightly rubbing her hands against the side of her gut. It seems like she can't quite get her arms all the way around it with the position you're in. "I cannot get up like this," Mina says, pausing to stifle another burp. "How were you able to walk while I was in you?" "Well, I've eaten people before and had some experience with lugging around prey //my size//, handling you wasn't really a problem," you say with a slight laugh. "Not only am I definitely like twice your weight, you haven't really used the muscles you would need to carry that weight much at all. I would be kinda scared if you could manage to lift me!" "That makes sense..." she says. She keeps soothing her belly with her hands, the massage starting to relax you as well. "My stomach is still very sore, it is so large..." "Once you're more used to it it's really satisfying to be so full, but I'm sure it's rough being so strained..." you say. "You know, I kinda wish I could see what you look like from the outside." Mina's heartbeat fills your ears as you sit in her stomach. Combined with her constant rubbing, it's strangely comforting, but as the gurgling sounds of digestion start to overpower it you're brought back to the reality of the situation. While her stomach may be struggling, it is doing its best to start trying to deal with you, a slight pool of acid starting to build around your feet. "$name? How do you //*urp*//--sorry--plan to know when ten minutes are up?" Mina says, stopping her massage. "I am worried about the sounds my stomach is making." "I... actually didn't consider that neither of us have a clock we can look at," you say with a laugh. "It is starting to heat up in here, maybe it's a good time to call it." "Okay!" Mina says, seeming relieved. "...how do I do that?" "Well, in this situation the easiest way is probably for me to just push out at the walls, if you're ready." "I am." "Alright, brace yourself..." you say. With that, you gently push your hands out against the slimy walls. You've barely used enough force to even make them budge when her stomach clamps down around you. However, the fact that there's barely any change in pressure when that happens gives you a very bad feeling about the situation... The walls crush in on you, squeezing as hard as they can manage while already being pushed to their absolute limit, trying to force you back up into her throat. But the slight increase in pressure subsides after a few moments... and you haven't gone anywhere. Another, slightly harsher wave tries again to push you up, but once more makes no progress. A chill goes down your spine as you notice the way it's trying to push you and realize what's happening. Somehow, your rough entry has left you positioned with your back against the entrance to her esophagus... and there's so little room that her stomach is unable to get you into a better position on its own. "Ow! $name, what is happening in there?" Mina whines, clutching her belly. "Is something wrong?" "Um, Mina... Don't panic, but..." you say, trying to process the situation yourself still. "...I think I'm stuck." "What? But... I do not want to--//mph//." She winces in pain as her stomach makes one more attempt to force you out, before, with a whine, it seems to admit defeat on the matter. "$name I do not know how to help, I cannot move like this, no one else is around..." "Just.. just hang on," you say, starting to panic yourself. "Okay, this might be rough for you, but I think I'm going to have to try to reposition myself. Just hang in there, and... I'm sorry." After giving her a moment to brace herself, you start to try using your full strength. You immediately hear Mina whimper as you push out full force, trying to use both your arms and legs to rotate yourself around. But even pushing with all your might, the walls don't really have any more space to give, already stretched to their limit. The moment you make what feels like the tiniest bit of progress, her vomit reflex kicks in again, forcing you back into the same position you started in and making another fruitless attempt to squeeze you out itself. You try again, only for the exact same process to repeat. A loud groan rumbles through her stomach, as if it were demanding that you give up. "Ow, ow..!" Mina whines. "$name, I do not know what to do. My phone is in the other room, and my door is locked anyway..." You don't respond, breathing heavily as you think about how dire your situation has gotten. Even if you are making slight progress with your struggling, and you aren't sure that you are, you're already running out of energy just from that first attempt. "$name... I do not want to digest you..." \ <<link "Panic and fight hard to get out">> <<replace "#invite">>\ "I don't want to get digested either!" you shout, panic taking over as the very real fate you're facing is brought to the forefront of your mind. "I'm sorry Mina!" With the situation turned life or death, you put Mina's comfort completely out of your mind and start to frantically struggle against her constricting stomach. You thrash and push out with all of your might, trying anything you can think of to get closer to freedom. But just like before, anytime you make even the faintest progress her stomach clamps down and squeezes you back into place, despite its goal being the same as yours. You can faintly feel Mina massaging her belly, and hear her crying out in pain and discomfort, but you have no choice but to keep trying. With every failed push toward freedom, you can feel yourself getting more and more exhausted, and all the while her anguished stomach is flooding with acid. Even as your arms start to tremble you fight against the fate you've accidentally doomed yourself too, but it's no use. Exhaustion overwhelms you as her acids start to sting at your skin, and before you can even get out some sort of parting words to your friend, your consciousness fades away. And from some combination of pain and distress, it isn't much longer before Mina passes out as well.\ <</replace>> <<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">> <</link>> <<link "Accept your fate and stay calm for Mina's sake">> <<replace "#invite">>\ "I..." You take a deep breath, realizing the hopelessness of the situation. Continuing to try and get out at this point is only going to make things worse for Mina. "I'm sorry, Mina. I... I think you're going to have to." "But $name you are... you're one of my only friends on campus," Mina whimpers. She pushes in on her belly, almost like she's trying to give you a hug. "You must keep trying to get out, I do not care if it hurts me!" "Mina... I don't want this either, but there's nothing I can do. My last attempt accomplished nothing even though I pushed hard enough to tire myself out," you say, sniffling a little as you resign yourself to this embarrassing demise. "It's okay, this is my fault, I pushed you to swallow me. Don't... don't be guilty about it, or anything." "But... $name I am so sorry..." she says, squeezing you a little tighter. "It's okay Mina... This is better than me getting grabbed by some random bully, at least. If I had to get digested, being a friend's first meal is probably one of the better options..." you say. "And hey, at least some silver lining here, taking me all the way is going to strech your stomach way more than just ten minutes..." "I do not care about that, I never want to do this again!" "No, don't give up because of this! I... Promise me you'll put me to good use, at least," you say with a weak chuckle. "I want you to become the top of our class, alright? I mean you already took out the toughest competition." "...Okay, $name," Mina whimpers. "I will try." "Thanks, Mina, I know you'll do great..." you say. "I guess this is goodbye..." "Goodbye, $name..." Mina says with a sniffle. You let yourself relax as her stomach slowly starts to fill with acid, trying its best to deal with you despite the circumstances. Mina keeps her arms wrapped around her belly, and as you drift away you lean back into her embrace. As fatigue from the ordeal catches up with her, it isn't long before Mina drifts off into a less permanent slumber.\ <</replace>> <<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">> <</link>> \ ... Eventually, Mina gently blinks awake on the floor of her bathroom, laying in an odd position. A loud belch echoes off the walls as she tries to push herself up, leading her to quickly cover her mouth in embarrassment. She looks down, and everything comes back to her. She's laying on top of her massively bloated belly, a belly filled with the sloshing remains of her friend. She sits back with a blank look on her face, silently remaining on the bathroom floor for quite some time. She isn't sure how long she was asleep, but it must have been several hours at least. Her gut, which was once painfully tight and larger than her entire body, is now soft and looking more like she'd swallowed someone her own size. She curiously pushes one of her hands into the plush flesh, finding no trace of you anymore, just sludge waiting to be processed. Stifling a burp despite no one else being around, she struggles onto her feet, just barely able to manage at this size. At first, she stops to look in the mirror, her face still expressionless. She cradles her belly from below, needing the extra support to stand up straight under its heft. Already, the effects of a meal this size are starting to show, the tiny girl looking almost chubby compared to before even with so much more to go. But, if Mina has thoughts on the change, she doesn't show it at all. She just silently studies herself for a moment, mainly focused on her belly, then hobbles out to sit on her bed. She grabs her phone off of the bedside table, then scoots herself back into the corner, curling up so that her legs are cradling her gut. She stares at her phone for a little while before finally making her choice. She makes a call. "Runa..?" she says when the ringing stops. "Runa, something awful happened..." <<include "Life Lost">>

<<Time 13>><<set $minaPred += 1>>"Hey Mina, after you get cleaned up, how about we do some training the other way around too?" you say as you watch her pick out a fresh outfit. She pauses and looks over at you. "You mean have me swallow you? Why?" she says, cocking her head a little. "I am not particularly interested in being a predator, and I very much doubt I could do much to help you with your escaping." "Well, I know you may not be super interested in it, but to get good enough grades to advance here so you can continue to train your escaping skills you're going to have to be reasonably competent at eating people too," you say. "While we're already training, why not work on that too?" "I suppose you have a point..." she says, mulling it over. "Okay then, if you would like to try this I suppose it is only fair, and that is a good reason to learn. To be honest, I may actually be worse at being a predator, I just do not have the same interest to improve." Finished getting a change of clothes together, she stands up and heads to the bathroom. "Excuse me a moment, you can wait on my bed while I shower." "Of course, take your time!" you say with a smile. You sit back on the bed to wait, your belly a lot smaller than the previous time you spent with it. The strange realization hits you that you just actively convinced someone to eat you, but shrug off any odd feelings about it. It will be important for Mina. Much like when she got changed before, her shower is almost suspiciously fast. You're only waiting a few minutes before she steps out, fully clean and back in a more typical outfit. Her hair is soaking wet still, but it doesn't seem to bother her at all. "Alright, you ready to get started?" you ask. "I suppose so," she replies, seeming ever so slightly nervous. "Why don't we do this in the bathroom, I'm not sure you'll be able to move much once I'm in and it'll be easier to clean up after you let me out in there," you suggest. Mina just nods in response and you follow her into the bathroom, the air a little humid from her recent shower. "I think training this will be difficult for me," Mina says. "<<if $escapismLabMina>>You know from last time, you came right back up just moments after I got you down<<else>>In my lab, my stomach rejected my partner as soon as they moved at all<</if>>..." "I get the feeling that the main hurdle you have to overcome is your capacity, thanks to your height..." you say. "So, let's just train that! Once you get me down, I'll stay totally still instead of struggling, it'll just be a simple exercise to get your stomach to start stretching a bit. We'll say... keep me there for ten minutes? That should be enough time to have some effect while still getting me out before it gets too dangerous." "Okay, that does seem like it could be a good idea," Mina replies, giving another little nod. There's an awkward pause where you both just stare at each other. "So, uh, I guess let's just get to it..." you say, offering her your hands. "Bon appétit." She gingerly grabs your hands, seeming to study them for a moment before finally opening her mouth to get started. You feel the slimy warmth of her mouth begin to wrap around you as your fingers slide along her tongue towards her throat. She swallows, and your hands are dragged a few inches down into her esophagus. You give her a little nod of encouragement, then duck your head down to make it easier for her to fit in. It's a slow process, her insides tightly constricting you as you're gently nudged deeper and deeper into her body. She seems to struggle a lot getting your shoulders in<<if $breastSize > 24>>, and that glacial pace continues until she's managed to choke down your breasts<<else>>, pausing for an uncomfortable amount of time with your head lodged in her throat<</if>>. But, once that's out of the way, she continues down toward your hips at a steady pace, dropping back to sit on the floor as her belly balloons out from your entry. The walls of her stomach wrap tightly around you, already seeming strained despite only having half of you inside. You can tell she's already reaching her limits by how aggressive her swallowing has become. She's pushing down on your rear with her hands in time with her swallowing, needing the extra force to pack you down into the tight space. This continues all the way down your legs, your body getting sore from being trapped in such an odd position while she works on squeezing the rest of you in. Then, finally, with one last push your feet are sent on their way to her stomach, the warmth of her body entirely sealing you in. "Oh my, that--//*Uurrp*// excuse me! Tha--//*urp*// oh..." Mina tries to say, seeming very flustered by her sudden gassiness. "...That was rather unpleasant. Are you... excuse me a moment--//*URP*//--Are you okay, $name?" "I'm fine..." you say, chuckling a little at her current state. "It's very tight in here, that's for sure. I'm glad I only said ten minutes!" "It is not very comfortable for me either, my belly is very sore--//*urrrp*!// Oh I'm so sorry, this is horribly impolite of me..." "Haha don't worry about it, that's just something that happens when you've got someone in your gut," you say. "Especially when you take so long to swallow them, you probably took in a ton of air getting me down but there's not much space for it. Just try to relax and get used to the feeling, rubbing your belly usually helps." You do your best to stay totally still inside of her, resisting the urge to even nudge yourself into a better position. It feels like you've been vacuum-packed, the walls of her stomach wrapped dangerously tight around your body. Rather than the usual kneading and shifting, it feels more like her stomach is twitching and shivering around you, not sure what to do with such a large meal. You can feel Mina leaning forward against you, lightly rubbing her hands against the side of her gut. It seems like she can't quite get her arms all the way around it with the position you're in. "I cannot get up like this," Mina says, pausing to stifle another burp. "How were you able to walk while I was in you?" "Well, I've eaten people before and had some experience with lugging around prey //my size//, handling you wasn't really a problem," you say with a slight laugh. "Not only am I probably like twice your weight, you haven't really used the muscles you would need to carry that weight much at all. I would be kinda scared if you could manage to lift me!" "That makes sense..." she says. She keeps soothing her belly with her hands, the massage starting to relax you as well. "I think my stomach is starting to feel a little better. It is strange being so large..." "It's a great feeling! Well, you might be a little too strained still, but once you're more used to it it's really satisfying to be so full," you say. "I kinda wish I could see what you look like from the outside." Mina's heartbeat fills your ears as you sit in her stomach. Combined with her constant rubbing, it's strangely comforting, but as the gurgling sounds of digestion start to overpower it you're brought back to the reality of the situation. While her stomach may be struggling, it is doing its best to start trying to deal with you, a slight pool of acid starting to build around your feet. "$name? How do you //*urp*//--sorry--plan to know when ten minutes are up?" Mina says, stopping her massage. "I am worried about the sounds my stomach is making." "I... actually didn't consider that neither of us have a clock we can look at," you say with a laugh. "It is starting to heat up in here, maybe it's a good time to call it." "Okay!" Mina says, seeming relieved. "...how do I do that?" "Well, in this situation the easiest way is probably for me to just push out at the walls, if you're ready." "I am." "Alright, brace yourself..." you say. With that, you gently push your hands out against the slimy walls. Mina lets out a little whimper, but she isn't so weak that her stomach gives up just from that. So, you push out a bit harder, then quickly move your hands to the side. That does the trick, the stomach walls quickly clamping down on you. For a brief, terrifying moment, you seem to be stuck, somehow having ended up with your back pressed up against the entrance to her esophagus. Luckily, there's just enough wiggle room left for the waves of pressure squeezing through her stomach to roll you around until something that will fit lines up with the opening, your head surging back up her throat toward freedom. It takes no time at all for the rest of your body to be forced out of Mina's once you're on your way. You slide out onto the tile floor of her bathroom, lightly coated with a slimy mixture of saliva and stomach acid. It takes you a little while to push yourself up even though there wasn't much of a struggle to tire you out, your entire body stiff from staying still in such a cramped position for so long. But, after some stretching, you're able to get comfortably back up on your feet. Mina meanwhile is still kneeling on the ground, looking nauseous and occasionally coughing. "Are you okay?" you ask. You go to offer her a hand getting to her feet, then quickly remember your current state and opt to wash your hands off in the sink first. "I believe so, thank you..." she says, taking your freshly cleaned hand and standing back up. "Thank you for your assistance $name, I think this was useful training even if I am admittedly not enthused about it." "Of course, I'm happy to help you out!" you say with a smile. "Although... I don't have any other clothes with me and I doubt any of yours will fit me, so I guess I'm walking back to my dorm like this." "Oh, yes, I suppose it may have been smarter for you to remove them first," Mina says. You give her a somewhat flustered look, but you don't get any sense that there was anything other than practicality behind that statement. "You could probably use some rest too after what your belly's been through," you say with a slight laugh. "I'll see you around!" "Definitely, goodbye $name!" she says, giving you a tiny smile and a wave as you start to head for the door. <<Mina 1>> Just as you're about to head out, however, something else occurs to you. \ <<link "Invite Mina to Emma's party">> <<replace "#invite">>\ <<set $week1PartyMinaInvited to true>>\ "Oh Mina, by the way!" you say, turning back to her. "My roommate is throwing a big party for all the freshmen this Saturday, you're invited if you'd like to go!" "Oh! I must admit I am not usually much for parties, but I can try to stop by for a little while," she says. "Awesome! It's Saturday night in the lounge in Lampton, I'll see you there!" You give her a wave, then step out into the hall to return to your own dorm.\ <</replace>> <<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">> <</link>> <<link "Don't invite her">> <<replace "#invite">>\ But, quickly realizing that inviting Mina to a big party like Emma is planning would be an incredibly dangerous, stupid idea, you decide not to say anything. After turning back to give her a final wave goodbye, you step out into the hall to return to your own dorm.\ <</replace>> <<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">> <</link>> \ You hurry down the hall, luckily making it back to your room without anyone else being around to spot you. Heading inside, you find that Emma is also still out, leaving you alone with plenty of time to get cleaned up. Even though the damage from Mina's stomach isn't too bad, you take a long, relaxing shower, getting yourself totally refreshed for the rest of the day. When you finally step out, you've barely even gotten dressed when an alarmingly loud groan cuts through the air. You rest your hand on your belly, suddenly realizing how hungry you are. Spending so long with Mina in your gut must have really worked up your appetite. Not wanting to leave your stomach waiting, you head back out of your room to make your way to the dining hall. [[Head to dinner->September 5th- Dinner]]

<<Time 11>>You bounce along with Sunny's footsteps as she heads out into the hall. You can feel that she's resting a hand on her belly, occasionally giving you an absentminded rub as she walks. The walls of her stomach harmlessly shift against you, the very slight amount of acid leaking out just feeling like warm water thanks to the antacid. With all of its efforts toned down, even the occasional gurgling from her body at work is much softer than usual, you have to admit that it's actually fairly comfortable. You feel yourself starting to shake more dramatically, and the dull sounds of several conversations begins to reach your ears through the muffling of her belly. It's a little difficult to keep track of where you are with your current position, but you're pretty sure you know where she's headed right now. "Sunny..." you say. "Is this the dining hall? Please tell me you aren't going to--" "Hey, that's pretty good! You're really //*urp*// paying attention in there," Sunny laughs, giving her gut a firm pat. "Don't get your tits twisted though, I'm not gonna eat with you in there. I'm just heading out this way since Zoey is probably still around by the lobby and I've already had enough of her for the day." "And where are you heading //out// to?" "Well aren't you nosy! Just 'cause you're in my belly doesn't mean you get to know all my business," she says, coming to a stop and giving you a gentle shake. Then she laughs. "//*urp*// Nah but for real, I don't know yet! Just going out. I mean, obviously I've got to show you off while we're doing this, I'll find something to do before class." "Oh yeah, obviously..." you say dryly. Sunny just laughs again as she goes back on the move. But, she doesn't make it far before seeming to run into someone and coming to a stop again. "Oh hey Rach! Hungover at almost noon again, huh? No early class today?," Sunny says. You wince as she seems to lean over against a table, slightly squishing you. "Ugh, hey Sunny..." <<if $club is "cooking">>a somewhat familiar voice groans. You're pretty sure 'Rach' is Rachel from Cooking Club yesterday.<<else>>'Rach' groans.<</if>> "Yeah, you know me... Nice gut..." You feel her poke you through Sunny's belly. "Hey, watch it!" you say. "Oh, recent, nice." "Ah chill out in there you, Rach can touch my gut all she wants," Sunny laughs, pressing down against the table slightly harder for a moment and pushing out a burp in the process. "My little passenger here isn't actually lunch, I've got the gas turned off. We're just having some fun!" "Oh, cool..." <<if $club is "cooking">>Rachel<<else>>Rach<</if>> mumbles. Someone is very lightly massaging you with one hand, and you're pretty sure it's her and not Sunny. "Damn, you're really out of it! There some party last night I didn't know about or were you just being you?" "Mmh, sorry... Kind of neither, I was drinking in club yesterday and tried to turn it into a milkshake. It was gross when I did it, but..." "Kira?" "Kira..." <<if $club is "cooking">>Rachel<<else>>Rach<</if>> chuckles. "She went through so many different ideas that I was more wasted than after the party Tuesday by the time she had one she was satisfied with..." "Bet it was good though." "Oh they were fucking delicious way before she 'perfected' it, that girl is a wizard," <<if $club is "cooking">>Rachel<<else>>Rach<</if>> says. Her hand finally pulls away. "But this sucks... Can't even get drunk again to make it go away 'cause I've got class a little later and Stars used me for a demonstration last time I showed up sloshed..." "Rach, girl, how many times do I have to tell you you'll just get a worse hangover later when you do that?" Sunny laughs. "Just let me make my own mistakes," <<if $club is "cooking">>Rachel<<else>>Rach<</if>> replies with a weak chuckle. "Hey, can you stop leaning on whatever this is?" you cut in, giving an annoyed shove to the stomach walls. "You're squeezing me here." "Aw c'mon $name, just think of it like a hug!" Sunny says, leaning all the way forward to press down on you even harder. You grumble and push out again in irritation and she lets up, returning to a normal standing position with a laugh. "Fine, //*urp*// fine. Alright, guess my belly's getting antsy so I'll stop bugging you Rach." You faintly hear Sunny snap her fingers. "Catch ya later!" "Mmmhmm..." <<if $club is "cooking">>Rachel<<else>>Rach<</if>> mumbles. The faint roar of the dining hall quickly fades as Sunny goes back on the move, your whole world bouncing around with her. You sigh, making some attempt to shift your position a little so that you don't end up quite so stiff. At least the antacid is working fine--her stomach still hasn't done anything other than lightly massage you. "Sunny, seriously, how long are you planning on keeping me in here?" you say, gently poking her stomach walls to make sure you get her attention. "Well I've got class at noon, and that antacid is gonna last until at least the end of that, so like... minimum two hours?" she replies. You groan, but she just chuckles and caresses the bottom of her belly. "Hey, it beats getting used to make Zoey's tits even more monstrous, right? Besides, don't tell me you aren't having a little fun! Just think, you never would have met Rachel if you hadn't tagged along with me." <<if $club is "cooking">>"I already know Rachel, I'm in Cooking Club," you say. "Oh yeah, guess that makes sense. She's fun, right?" Sunny replies. "Still, you never would have known the ending of her shenanigans without me."<<else>>"I still haven't actually met Rachel, I just heard you talk to her," you say. "You know what, fair, but still," Sunny laughs.<</if>> "I'd still rather not be in a stomach." "Just relax, let yours--Oh hey! Speaking of monstrous tits," Sunny says with a laugh. "Oh, what a lovely surprise! Hello Sunny, haven't seen you around yet hon, it's been too long!" a very pleasant voice says. She chuckles a little. "Sounds like you're still just as crude as a remember." "Haha, you know I meant it as a compliment," Sunny laughs. "I dig the blue, Cynth, it's a good fit for you!" "Aw, thanks sweetie! You sure know how to flatter me," the other girl says. You feel an extra hand gently press against you. "Oh, walking around with a live one? Hope you're taking after me and not being mean, hon." "Of course, of course. I saved this freshman from becoming a tally mark, but decided to reward myself by having some fun with her," Sunny says, giving her belly a slight hug. "$name this is Cynthia, say hi!" "Oh, I get to //participate// in this conversation?" you say in a grumpy tone. "Hey, you could have talked to Rach whenever before, you just didn't." "Hello in there sweetie!" Cynthia says, giving you a surprisingly tight hug through Sunny's belly. "I hope she's treating you well enough!" "Hi..." you say, a little strained until the girl finally releases her embrace. "She isn't digesting me so I guess it's... fine..." "There, see? No need to be shy," Sunny giggles, patting her stomach. "Why don't we sit and catch up, girl? I gotta know what you got up to over the summer!" "Oh, nothing too exciting hon, at least that I can talk about with our guest here," Cynthia chuckles. "I was on my way to talk with Dahlia about how we're handling yoga this year, but I'm sure I'll be fine chatting for a bit." You feel Sunny sit down, the faint sound of running water making you guess you're by the fountain in the courtyard. Three separate points of pressure start to slowly rub against you, meaning at least one hand isn't Sunny's. "You know, speaking of, I could teach you some of my massage techniques if you want to make her really enjoy her stay..." "Ha! Maybe someday I'll take you up on that Cynth, but I think we're good for now," Sunny says. You sigh and settle into a somewhat comfortable position while the two friends start to catch up. There isn't much room for you in their conversation, and the fact that they're both just idly running their hands against Sunny's gut while they talk makes you feel like you're some kind of pet or prop. But, you can't think of much more to do than just sit and wait at this point. You aren't sure how much time passes while the two talk, nothing they discuss all that interesting to you, but eventually things seem to wind down. "//*urp*// Guess I shouldn't be too late to class," Sunny says, sitting up and, from the sounds of it, stretching out. "And if I keep you too long Professor Aldain might forget she was supposed to be meeting with someone," she adds with a laugh. "Oho, fair enough, I shouldn't keep her waiting too long!" Cynthia chuckles. She gives you a gentle pat on the back. "It's been great catching up Sunny, really just wonderful. You ought to stop by for one of our sessions this semester!" "Ha, maybe I'll get my buddy here to be my partner!" Sunny replies, standing up and giving you a little shake. "But yeah, for sure I'll try to make time. Catch ya around Cynth!" You faintly hear Sunny snap her fingers, then the walls surrounding you start to bounce and jiggle again as she goes on the move. At this point you're absolutely drenched in various fluids despite her stomach being subdued, just from rubbing up against the slick flesh surrounding you for so long. "So what do you think? Belly yoga someday?" Sunny snickers, lightly bouncing up her belly to get your attention. "What is that?" you reply, repositioning yourself a little. "Exactly what it //*urp*// sounds like," Sunny laughs. "Yoga, but with someone in your gut! Surprisingly relaxing on both sides, honestly, it's something one of the teachers cooked up. She and Cynth run a session every week or so." "If you meant what I think you did by being your partner, definitely not," you grumble. "Aw, still being a grump in there?" Sunny says, poking you through her belly. "Don't worry, I'm about to sneak you into an advanced class! Think of how far ahead of all the other freshman you'll be thanks to your good friend Sunny D!" "You think the teacher will make you spit me up?" "Not a chance!" Sunny laughs. "I've got Expansion Theory, it's a capacity class. And, not really my goal here, but what I'm doing with you is a pretty common technique for improving stomach capacity. See, you're learning already!" "Yes, it's all worthwhile now," you reply dryly. "Also I'm already like ten minutes late, she's not gonna wanna deal with the hassle even if she cared." She pats her belly. "But stay quiet in there until we leave to be safe, alright? Wouldn't wanna make someone mad at you while you're inside them, you know.~" [[Continue->Rescued by Sunny- Choice]]

<<Time 13.5>>Contrary to what Sunny seemed to think, you aren't able to glean much from being in her class. Trying to make out anything the teacher was saying over the sounds of Sunny's body and not only the muffling of the stomach walls, but the extra barrier of being stowed under her desk, is a useless effort. You're left at the mercy of a very bored Sunny for the entire duration of the class, finding yourself nudged side to side as you hang below her desk, or feeling her hands drumming some beat against her belly, or having her squeeze her stomach muscles in weird ways until you eventually give her a shove to stop. An immense wave of relief washes over you when she finally stands back up. "Thank fuck, I thought she'd never shut up," Sunny says after stepping back out into the hall. "Was starting to get a teeny bit worried, somewhat on a time limit here you know. How you doing in there? Learn anything useful? You better have been paying attention!" "Sunny, even if you weren't constantly messing with me, it would have been impossible to get anything out of that class from in here," you grumble. Her stomach grumbles in return and you instantly become more alert. "I know, that class is such a bore, right?" Sunny laughs. "'If you eat until you're full, you can fit more later'. Woah! Holy shit! Glad I have a full semester to absorb such mindblowing information..." "Not really what I meant," you sigh, though find yourself chuckling a little under your breath. Then a louder groan than you've heard in a long time rocks through your confines. "Uh, Sunny? I think the antacid is starting to wear off. It's definitely been long enough anyways, please get me out of here!" "Hey, no worries, relax!" she says, caressing her belly. "I'm on my way back to my dorm to re-up right now!" "SUNNY!" you shout, kicking one foot forward. She laughs and comes to a stop. "Seriously, haven't you had your fun? It's been hours!" "C'mon, I missed lunch since I have you in there! You've gotta keep me feeling full until dinner, it's not that much longer." <<if $day4MinaTrainingOffer>>"No, I can't!" you protest. "I've got plans with someone at two, I can't bail on her!" "Ah shit, yeah you don't have much time then. Can't you just text her to reschedule?" "No, I don't have her number," you reply. Sunny's stomach groans and starts to grind against you a little harder. "Also, why would I reschedule plans last minute just so I could keep doing //this//?" "Yeah, you know what, fair," Sunny laughs. "Fine, fine, I'm not gonna fuck with your relationships, especially this early in the year. Your education? Absolutely. But //*urp*// friends would be a dick move. I'm coming up on the dorm hall, I'll let you out at your door." "Thank you..." you say, breathing a sigh of relief. She takes just a few more steps before you feel yourself come to a stop. "Alright, ride's over! Make sure you take all your luggage with you," she laughs. You feel her wrap her arms around the base of her gut. "Comin' up!" In an instant the walls clamp down on you, starting to force you back up her throat. It's a surprisingly efficient manuever, seemingly no struggling on Sunny's part as you smoothly slide out of her mouth and out onto the ground. You suppose that after two years of labs, you start to get some experience willingly regurgitating people. It doesn't take long before you're fully freed from your friend's insides. "Ha, gross," Sunny says as she looks down at you, slightly bent over and holding her stomach for only a moment before shifting to a triumphant pose with her hands on her hips. "Hope that wasn't //totally// awful for you, guess it was kinda mean to spring that on you when you're a freshman and being in a gut at all is scary still..." "Uh, thanks again for the rescue..." you say as you get to your feet, neglecting to comment on your extended stay. "Hey, Sunny D's always got your back!" she replies, snapping her fingers into guns. "Have fun with your buddy, I'll catch you around! Oh and watch out for that when you leave," she adds with a laugh, pointing at the wet spot you left on the ground. [[Get cleaned up->September 5th- Afternoon 2]]\ <<else>>\ \ [[Keep going along with this->Rescued by Sunny- Afternoon]]<<if $sunnyPhone>> [[Get flirty and ask for something in return->Rescued by Sunny- Flirty]]<</if>> <<link "Struggle to get out">><<replace "#choice">>"NO!" you shout, shoving your arms out against the walls of her stomach. "I can't believe you, just spit me out!" "//*URP*// Hey, c'mon, relax!" she says, rubbing her hands along her belly as you start to earnestly struggle against her. "No, I've had enough! Do you know how uncomfortable it's been to be stuck in here?" You keep thrashing against the walls of her stomach. If she's not going to get you out of here herself, you'll just have to break out. You should still have a little while before the antacid totally wears off and her stomach is fully active. "I'm just //*urp*// having some fun, chill //*uuurrp*// out in there!" Sunny says. "You aren't in--" "I don't care, let me out!" "Ugh, just fucking //chill//!" she grumbles. You immediately feel her stomach walls crush in on you, squeezing you so tight you can barely move. She keeps up the pressure until you give up on even trying to squirm. "God, //*UURP*// fine, I'll let you out, I'm right by your dorm anyways..." "Please do..." you say, crossing your arms inside of her. "You don't have to be such a baby about it, this kind of thing can be fun for //both// sides if you roll with it instead of just whining you know," she grumbles as she takes the last few steps toward your door. She sighs and you feel her wrap her arms around the lower half of her gut. "I guess I forgot that you are still just a freshman... Hold onto your tits, you're coming up." In an instant the walls clamp down on you, starting to force you back up her throat. It's a surprisingly efficient manuever, seemingly no struggling on Sunny's part as you smoothly slide out of her mouth and out onto the ground. You suppose that after two years of labs, you start to get some experience willingly regurgitating people. It doesn't take long before you're fully freed from your friend's insides. "Gross..." she grumbles as she looks down at you, slightly bent over and holding her stomach for only a moment before leaning back and crossing her arms. "There, you good now?" "Yes, thank you," you say in an irritated tone. "Yeah you're welcome, it's not like there's no risk for me fucking with Zoey you know," she replies, a grumpy look on her face. She sighs and flicks one of her hands. "Whatever, I'll see you around..." <<Sunny -1>> [[Get cleaned up->September 5th- Afternoon 2]]<</replace>><</link>> <</if>>

<<Time 13.75>><<set $day5SunnyExtended to 1>>"You are unbelievable..." you sigh, your shoulders sagging a little. "I'm starting to think I would have been better off just taking my chances with Zoey." "Ha! No way, you can't ask for a better stomach than mine!" Sunny laughs, giving her belly a smack as she starts walking again. "Plus getting added to Zoe's trophy wall is probably the worst way to go here." "Yeah, you're probably right," you say with a very slight laugh. You feel the shaking of Sunny's gut start to intensify as she heads upstairs. "Would've spent less time in a stomach though." "Pfft, I wouldn't be so sure, that bitch is crazy. Don't tell me you're not having at least a //little// fun hanging with me!" "It's definitely being hampered by the fact I'm hanging //off// you," you reply. "I would do stuff with you without having to be captive, you know." "Aw, you'll make me blush $name," Sunny laughs. "I promise I'll let you out for real at dinner time, so for now just roll with it, okay? I'm having fun, you've got nothing to worry about while you're in there, and you could have some fun too if you stop being such a stick in the mud." "Fiiiine..." you say with an exaggerated sigh. "There, that's the spirit!" Sunny says with a laugh, giving your head a pat. You hear her open the door to her room and step inside. Shortly after, a second antacid is dumped on top of you, then she drops back to lay on her bed. "So..." you say, adjusting to the change in position. The slight aggravation you'd started to feel from her stomach is already subsiding. "Um... how did the rest of party planning go? Did you talk to Kim yet?" "Hell no, you crazy? That's why you're definitely out at dinner," Sunny laughs. She starts to massage her belly with one hand as she relaxes. "That's already gonna be kind of a tough sell, no shot she gives me any time if I roll up with someone in my gut. And me and Em had pretty much just split when I scooped you up, you would know if I'd talked to Kim." "Oh, fair enough," you reply. "Why is it a tough sell?" "Eh, stuff from before your time, don't worry about it," Sunny says, giving you a pat on the back before returning to her massage. There's a brief silence while you both relax for a little bit. "So did you just keep me in here so you could nap on a full stomach?" you finally say. "What, you aren't enjoying the massage?" she chuckles. Then she pretty abrupty sits up, disorienting you. "But //*URP*// nah, I was just texting to make sure the girls are free. We're off to the lounge!" "The girls?" you say, still adjusting to the sudden change as Sunny goes on the move again. "Yeah, my drinking buddies! Lydia and Amity, you'll love them. Or hate them, I dunno, but you're coming along either way!" You bounce along with Sunny as she heads through the halls to the lounge. It's a short but disorienting trip, having to deal with her going down stairs before you'd even re-adjusted to her walking around again. But before long, you hear some new voices. "Hey, there she is, Sunny D!" an unfamiliar girl says. "Haha, looks like you've been busy today." "Figures you're the reason Lydia insisted we come out here..." a different, harsher voice says, sighing loud enough for you to hear. "Thanks, love ya too Am," Sunny says, chuckling as she sits down. "This ain't dinner, I just //*urp*// brought a guest. Saved a freshman from our friendly neighborhood ogre earlier and now I'm having some fun." She pats her belly. "Say hi $name!" "Uh, hey," you say, pushing out slightly. "Another freshman? What, you can't run with the seniors anymore so you're starting back from the bottom?" the grumpy girl says. "Oh come on Amity, don't be like this right from the start at least," the other girl, presumably Lydia, says. You feel a hand rest against you and give a quick pat. "Hello $name! Sorry D's messing with you like this, but I'm glad Zoey didn't get you!" "Uh, thanks, nice to meet you guys," you say. "Does she do this often?" "Well, not this specifically all that much, but if you've gotten close enough that she was willing to save you you should already know she's a total wildcard," Lydia giggles. "She just does what she feels like, you aren't her first extended guest." "I mean, you just need to see those tacky sunglasses to know she does whatever she wants," Amity chimes in. "No one who cared even a tiny bit what other people think would be caught dead like that." "Oh you're just jealous that even though you blow all that money on hair dye, I still get more attention," Sunny laughs. "Hard to look away from the freak show," Amity sneers. "Pfft, you know it's cause I'm way hotter. Lydia knows what's up! C'mon L, don't leave me hanging." There's a brief silence. "Alright, $name then," Sunny chuckles. She slaps her hand against her gut and holds it there. After a moment of confusion, you push back with your own hand. "For the record, I have no idea what Amity looks like so that was a pity high five," you say. You hear Lydia snicker. "I'll still take it," Sunny says, patting her belly. "So you guys are... friends?" you say as a tense silence starts to set in. There's a pause, then Sunny and Lydia burst out laughing. You're pretty sure you can even hear Amity chuckling. "Absolutely, can't you feel the love?" Sunny says. "Those two are just like this, it would be weird if they weren't at each other's throats," Lydia says with a laugh. "Yeah, if I really hated Sunny I would have eaten her by now," Amity says. "Aw, that's the nicest thing you've said to me all week!" "They're like sisters, really," Lydia says. "You should see them together once the alcohol takes hold." "Probably not appropriate to call drunk us 'sisterly'," Sunny snickers. You hear a dull thud and Sunny lurches to the side a little, still laughing. "Alright, giving the gut freshman too much information here bitch!" Amity says. Another round of laughter follows, then the three friends start to chat and catch up in earnest. While you chime in or get addressed every now and then, you have to deal with the awkwardness of not only being the odd one out among established friends, but also the fact that you're sort of not even present in your current position. It's not the most comfortable conversation you've ever been a part of. But, after a lot of inside jokes, references to stories you don't have context for, and insults tossed between Sunny and Amity, things start to wind down towards dinner at last. "Alright, yeah, I'm feeling pretty ready for grub even with $name in my stomach," Sunny says, giving her gut a smack. Then, with some effort, she pushes herself back up onto her feet. "I'll go let her out and meet you guys at the dining hall." You hear the telltale click of her snapping her fingers. "Finally..." Amity grumbles. "Sounds good! Bye $name, I hope we meet in person sometime!" Lydia says with a little giggle. You bounce along with Sunny as she heads off, starting to get uncomfortably familiar with the feeling at this point. She heads upstairs, then not too long after you feel her going back downstairs. "Whew, it's gonna feel weird //not// having you in there at this point," Sunny laughs. She gives you a reassuring pat. "Don't worry, I'm heading right to your dorm to let you out." "Thank you," you say, breathing a sigh of relief. "Good timing I guess, it sounds like your stomach is starting to get active again." "Yeah, I know what I'm doing you know!" "Right, right... Your friends sound pretty cool." "See, I knew you'd like 'em! Maybe I'll take you out drinking with us sometime so you can put Amity's ugly face to her crabby voice," Sunny chuckles. You feel her wrap her arms around the lower half of her gut. "Alright, ride's over! Hold onto your tits 'cause you're coming up!" In an instant the walls clamp down on you, starting to force you back up her throat. It's a surprisingly efficient manuever, seemingly no struggling on Sunny's part as you smoothly slide out of her mouth and out onto the ground. You suppose that after two years of labs, you start to get some experience willingly regurgitating people. It doesn't take long before you're fully freed from your friend's insides. "Ha, gross," Sunny says as she looks down at you, slightly bent over and holding her stomach for only a moment before shifting to a triumphant pose with her hands on her hips. "Hope this whole thing wasn't //totally// awful for you, guess it was kinda mean to spring that on you when you're a freshman and being in a gut at all is scary still..." she says with a slightly nervous laugh. "Thanks for being a good sport about it. By the end, at least." "It was fine I guess, but lets not make a habit of it," you say as you get to your feet. You feel very stiff from your extended stay. "Uh, thanks again for the rescue earlier, you did really save my ass back there." "Hey, Sunny D's always got your back!" she replies, snapping her fingers into guns. "I'll catch you around! Oh and watch out for that when you leave," she adds with a laugh, pointing at the wet spot you left on the ground.<<if $sunnyRel < 3>> <<Sunny 1>><</if>> [[Head inside to clean up->Rescued by Sunny- Released]]

<<Time 13.75>><<set $day5SunnyExtended to 2>><<set $sunnyFlirt += 1>>"Fine, but... I think we're even for the rescue at this point," you say coyly. "So, if you're gonna keep me in here, I think the least you can do is let me see what I look like from the outside." "Oooh, after some more pervy pics, are we?" Sunny giggles, starting to walk again. "Damn, horny at a time like this $name? You must be some kind of freak." "I'm not hearing a no." "Haha! We'll see, let's get back to my dorm first," she says, giving her belly a pat. She quickly heads upstairs, making her way through the halls back to her room and stepping inside. Shortly after, you hear her swallow and a second antacid is dumped on top of you, then she drops back to sit on her bed. "Okay, I've got a counter offer for you, you little pervert~" Sunny says, gently running a hand down her belly. "When it comes time to let you out, I'll go totally topless. Have the girls on full display for you, in-person. But! I'm about to leave my dorm again, and you'll have to stay silent until I tell you we're back in private." "That's it?" you say, your face growing a little flush in the darkness of her stomach. Sunny gives a slightly worrying laugh. "Yep, that's all you've gotta do! Deal?" "Absolutely!" you blurt out. "Perfect~" Sunny says, giving her belly a little pat. "Alright then, get those lips sealed! I've got someone I need to chat with." You're very skeptical of what she's up to, but it honestly feels less awkward not to say anything while you're in here, and she's offering a reward you can't pass up. She heads out into the halls, making her way downstairs at some point. It's hard to tell where she's going, but based on the sounds you hear it seems like you've moved outside. A voice greets her as she comes to a stop, and immediately you understand why she seems so amused with her plan. "Heya Sunny!" Emma's muffled voice chirps. "Oh, you've, uh, been busy since this morning... What was it you wanted to talk about?" "Hey Em! Nothing //*urrrp*// too important, just wanted to double check what we need from the store," Sunny says, intentionally squeezing out a burp. "Might go out for that stuff tonight." "Oh! Well, we for sure need more beer than I've got, and I was kind of leaving the mixers up to you. I've got the snack list we talked about written down, I can send that to you!" "Awesome!" Sunny says, snapping her fingers. Then you feel her start to gently massage you through her belly. "Sorry by the way, don't let this distract you." "Oh, no, you're fine, I didn't mean to stare," Emma says with a nervous laugh. "By the way, have you seen $name around since this morning? I haven't really been back to the dorm so I guess I don't necessarily have a reason to worry, but you never know with this campus..." "$name? Nah I //*urp*// haven't seen her," Sunny replies, sounding like she's close to letting a laugh slip out. "I'm sure she's fine though, no need to worry so much." "Yeah, you're probably right..." Emma says. "Okay, the list is all sent! Anything else you needed?" "Great, thanks Em! I think we should be good," Sunny says. "Catch you around!" "See ya! Um, enjoy the meal I guess!" Emma says. You briefly feel a third hand give you a little pat. "Haha thanks!" Sunny says, snapping her fingers again before walking off. She giggles to herself and gives you another quick squeeze as she makes her way back inside. You bite your tongue for now, staying true to your word. No sense ruining things for yourself at this point. As Sunny makes her way through the halls again, she seems to run into someone else she knows. "Hey hey, didn't expect to see you two out and about!" Sunny says. "Hey D! Yeah we just got out of Gossam's class," a voice you don't recognize replies. "You catch yourself a late lunch?" "Haha, nah, this is a freshman I saved from ending up on the trophy wall," Sunny says, giving you a smack. "We're having some fun together, I'm on my way back to my dorm now." "Geez, everyone must be really pent up after the summer or something," the girl chuckles. "This morning I already had to pick up Amity from Nadia's dorm." "Ha, she wishes I meant that kind of fun!" Sunny laughs, giving her belly another light smack for emphasis. "But damn Am, get it girl! Right down to business." "I wish you wouldn't just tell her these things Lydia..." a different voice grumbles. "Hey, c'mon, you know I ain't judging!" Sunny says. "We should grab dinner later, you guys down?" "Yeah, definitely!" the first girl replies. "Whatever..." the other says. "Awesome, meet you guys at the dining hall then!" Sunny says, snapping her fingers. "I'll text when I'm on the way!" She continues on her way, breaking away from her two friends. Not long after the interruption, you hear her unlocking the door to her dorm. She stops and wraps her arms around you, then drums her hands against her belly for a little while, before finally letting go and speaking up. "Aaaand you can talk again, we're back in my room," she laughs. "That was dirty!" you say, laughing a little yourself. "I knew you were up to //something//, but I'll admit you caught me off guard." "Haha! I thought it would be a fun way to tease you," Sunny says, patting her belly. "And you're lucky! At first my plan was to push way harder on the 'where's $name' thing even before she brought it up herself, but I couldn't bring myself to be that mean to her just to mess with you." <<if $emmaRel > 1>>"She's probably still gonna be worried until I see her again..." you sigh. "But, a deal's a deal, even if you didn't fully go through with it."<<else>>"Hey, a deal's a deal, even if you didn't fully go through with it," you reply.<</if>> "Yeah, yeah, I know... you've still got a few more hours in there though.~" "Do your worst," you say. "If you insist," Sunny says with a laugh. "First order of business, it does take some effort lugging you around so long you know, I'm starting to get a little sweaty. Think I'll hit the shower.~" "Seriously?" you say, feeling your heart flutter a little. "Yeah why not, not like you can see me from in there, and my belly will get a nice deep clean being so stretched out like this," she says, gently stroking her gut. "But I better not feel you doing anything too weird in there!" If there was any doubt, it quickly becomes clear she isn't bluffing. You hear the rumble of her shower being turned on, then feel her disrobing. It almost seems like she's exaggerating the movements to make sure you can tell what she's doing. Then, with a mischevious giggle, she steps into the shower and you can feel the impact of the water against you through her skin. Her teasing doesn't stop at that. She makes sure to really take her time getting clean, and every time her hands move over her belly, she slows down significantly and pushes in harder than she has to. Even when it's finally time for her to get out and dry off, she makes sure to towel off with very slow and deliberate movements, making you blush as she pulls you tight with the towel's odd massage. Luckily, you're given some reprieve from her taunting when it comes time to dry her hair. "How you holding up in there?~" Sunny asks, loud enough to hear over the roar of her blow dryer. "I know it's gotta be frustrating that I'm all squeaky clean while you're stuck slimy and gross." "Oh, is that what was supposed to be frustrating about this?" you say in a coy tone. "Ha! God you're hopeless," she laughs. "I know I'm hot, but you can at least //pretend// to control yourself! Hope you know that just cause I'm indulging you so far it doesn't mean I'm always gonna go along with your flirting like this." "Well, I'd better enjoy it while I can then.~" Sunny laughs as she shuts off the blow dryer. "Yeah, yeah, take it easy hornball. I've got some outfits to try on, you're gonna help me model." "I could probably be more help with that from the //outside//, you know." "Nope, you're exactly where you need to be!" she says, patting her belly. "I need to know what will still look good with a big gut in the way." "Oh, that's actually pretty smart." "Yeah, I know. But first I've gotta choose which bra to go with for the rest of the day... Hmm, which of these do you think?" she says, giving you a poke. "Oh wait, that's right, you can't even see the mirror from in there! Haha, silly me." This continues for some time as Sunny tries on different clothing, frequently starting to ask for your thoughts before reminding you that you can't see any of the action despite how close you are. You can also feel her striking a pose or two with each outfit, always making sure to emphasize her movements so that you can tell what she's doing. Her intentional teasing is amplified even further by the fact that all of her shifting around and changing clothes has made you much more clearly aware of a weight resting on your head that isn't on the rest of your body, and what that must be. You're more eager to get out than ever. After going through all of that, she ends up settling on wearing exactly the clothes she had on before, which she informs you of just so that it's abundantly clear her only goal was to mess with you. For the last hour or so inside of her, she finally eases off the throttle and just lounges back on her bed, lightly massaging you with one hand. Eventually, the relaxing position is disrupted by a loud groan from her stomach. "Alright $name, I think that's the cue for me to get you out of there," Sunny says, sitting up and patting her belly. "Finally..." you say. "Remember the reward you promised!" "Oh don't you worry, the girls have been free since I left the bathroom," Sunny chuckles. You feel her take a few steps, then wrap her arms around the bottom half of her belly. "Hope you're ready tiger.~" In an instant the walls clamp down on you, starting to force you back up her throat. It's a surprisingly efficient manuever, seemingly no struggling on Sunny's part as you smoothly slide out of her mouth and onto the ground. You suppose that after two years of labs, you start to get some experience willingly regurgitating people. It doesn't take long before you're fully freed from your friend's insides. Based on the cold tiles you're laying on, she let you out in her bathroom. Without much shame, you push yourself up and turn to look at Sunny as quickly as you can. She's standing in the doorway, grinning down at you in a somewhat sultry pose, one arm leaning against the door frame and the other resting on her hip. And, true to her word, the only things she's wearing are shorts and the sunglasses resting on her head. Almost all of her voluptuous figure is on full display, your eyes of course being drawn to her exposed chest. "Yeah, drink it in, this might be the only chance you'll get," she teases, standing back up straight and stretching her arms out overhead. You stay fixated on her breasts, the flawless orbs of flesh jiggling ever so slightly from her movements. When your gaze keeps lingering and total silence claims the room, she cups her hands over them and the faintest hint of red seems to creep onto her cheeks. "Alright, alright, you can't just sit there staring all day, I do have things to do you know." You shake your head and quickly get to your feet, though your eyes still don't wander far from her newly emphasized cleavage. "Um, right, I... uh... thank you..." you mumble. "//Pfft// Yeah, sure, sure, no problem," Sunny says, bursting out into laughter. She shakes her head. "Get out of here so you can clean up, you look gross. And you probably shouldn't tell Emma about any of this when you get back!" "Yeah, probably a good call," you reply, slowly making your way to the door so you can enjoy the view a little longer. "I'll uh, see you around!" "Yeah, catch you later perv," Sunny says, still chuckling as she flashes finger guns at you.<<if $sunnyRel < 3>> <<Sunny 1>><</if>> You linger for just a moment longer, then head out into the hall. You check the room number before heading off: L259, on the far side of Lampton. Then, you hurry back through the halls to your dorm.<<set $sunnyDorm to true>> [[Get cleaned up->Rescued by Sunny- Released]]

<<Time 17>>You hurry into your room, finding it empty, and head straight for the bathroom so you can get yourself cleaned up. You quickly strip off your soiled clothes and step into the shower. Since her stomach wasn't trying to digest you, the damage from your extended stay inside of Sunny isn't too bad, but there's still enough slime covering you to feel like you need an extra deep clean. You let the water wash everything away, staying under the pleasant stream of warmth for much longer than was probably necessary to ensure you don't spend the rest of the day smelling like the inside of a stomach. After a while though, your stomach whines and you start to realize that you're absolutely starving. Thanks to your arrangement with Sunny, you haven't eaten anything since breakfast. So, you finally step out of the shower and get changed<<if $sunnyFlirt > 1>>. As you grab your phone to head out the door, however, you notice that you have an unread message. It's from Sunny, sent not long after you got back. You unlock your phone and immediately grin. "//Surprise nerd, I took the picture you wanted too :P Thanks for being a good sport about things, you looked pretty good on me <3//" Attached is a selfie of her from the waist up she took in the mirror earlier, her belly still bulging out with your body inside. She's only wearing a pink, somewhat fancy bra, everything else on full display. Her free hand is holding her sunglasses, her amber eyes visible for once as she gives the camera a wink. You take a moment to look it over, blushing, then stow your phone so you can head to dinner.<<else>>, immediately heading out to get dinner.<</if>> [[Go to dinner->September 5th- Dinner]]

<<set $day5DinnerCrew to true>>You decide that you want to catch up with Emma, even if it means sitting with Sarah and Alesha. <<if $fullness > 2>>Still feeling full from your meal, you just immediately head over to where they're sitting.<<else>>Before heading to the table you walk over to the buffet line to get some food, putting a couple of the sandwiches they have out on a plate.

"Wow, that's crazy that you're that good already!"<<else>> "Well great, come join us!"

"How have you been?" you ask. <<else>> "Come on over and join us!" "Hey Emma<<if $emmaRel > 0>>!<<else>>,<</if>>" you say, heading over and taking an open seat next to her. "How have you been?"<</if>> "I'm great! I've been busy getting the word out about the party," she says. "Ugh, what're you doing here?" Sarah says, giving you a dirty look and crossing her arms. "Huh?" Emma says, glancing between the two of you. "This is my roommate $name... have you met already?" "Yeah, your roommate sucks," Alesha huffs. "She totally ruined the first day for us." <<if $lockerChandra is "none">>"Seriously<<if $day3LunchAlone>>, this again<</if>>?" you say, glaring at them. You turn to Emma. "They tried to eat me during the orientation tour, and apparently I'm the bad guy for surviving." "Well you totally killed the mood!" Sarah says. "And you hurt Sare and never even apologized for it," Alesha says, joining Sarah in crossing her arms. "That... wait, are you two serious?" Emma says, squinting at them. "What would //you// do if someone tried to eat one of you?" "Well..! I would try to escape, obviously, or punch them if they ate Ali..." Sarah says. She pouts, looking a little conflicted. "Yeah, but..." Alesha says. She sighs. "I get your point, but<<if $eatenByAlesha or ($freshcoupleRel < -2)>>--" "Also, they already tried to eat me a second time over this," you say, staring them down. This time they both look a little embarrassed about it. "Well, it was movie night--or movie afternoon I guess--and we needed snacks, and we were still mad at you when we saw you in the hall..." Sarah mumbles. "That's... sorry $name, I had no idea," Emma says with a sigh. "I can't believe you two are holding a grudge over something like that. Yeah, it probably hurt having to throw her up, but you //tried to digest her//! You started it, I think you owe her an apology." "Fiiiine... I guess you're right..." Sarah says, still pouting. "Sorry $name, I'll try not to eat you again..." "Yeah, sorry, I guess we got carried away..." Alesha says. "I guess I can forget about it for now," you say with a sigh.<<else>> she did still hurt Sarah, even if it was self defense I can't help being mad about that." "But you tried to //digest// her!" Emma says. She sighs. "Can you at least forget about it for now, even if you aren't going to apologize?" "Fiiine..." Sarah says with an exaggurated sigh. "My tummy won't forgive you though." "I guess..." Alesha says. "Sure," you say with a shrug.<</if>> "Great! I bet if we just put things aside and chat you'll find that you actually get along great!" Emma says with a smile.\ <<else>>"Wait, what?" you say. "Just because I didn't join you to make out on the bench?" "No, it's cause you tried to eat that other girl and she got away," Alesha says. "Yeah, she ran past all simy and gross and then the whole room started smelling like vomit, you totally killed the mood," Sarah huffs. "...That's it?" Emma says. "I mean, $name you probably shouldn't have tried to eat whoever that was if it was the very first day, but guys thats... a really dumb thing to hold a grudge over." "But you don't get it, it was such a great moment up until then!" Alesha says. "You had to be there." "Yeah, that was the only chance we'll ever get to fuck during college orientation!" Sarah says. Emma blushes and looks bewildered. "And you invited $name to join you??" "Uh, we were really excited that day..." Alesha says, blushing. "Yeah and I was gonna... um, alright, maybe you have a point," Sarah says, looking sheepish. "I guess we're being kinda silly, let's talk about something else."<</if>> With your bad blood at least somewhat resolved, the four of you start chatting more naturally. At first Sarah and Alesha still seem to be pretty cold with you, but after a while the conversation picks up and they finally seem to have actually let things go<<if $freshCoupleRel < -1>>, at least for now<</if>>. It's an enjoyable time, even if how relentlessly attached the two of them are can get a bit grating. Eventually, everyone has finished their food and things start to wind down. "Oh!"

Hehe, Kris just let me know she won't be back at the dorm until really late tonight.~" "Oooh...~" Alesha says, giving Sarah a sly look. "Yeah, I guess it is getting a little late.

"Well I can if you want me too, but I know you love doing it," Alesha says. "Why don't you go?" "Yeah you're right, thanks babe! Alright so it wa--mmm, no, no I did it last time, you go Ali," Sarah giggles, giving Alesha a side hug. Alesha laughs and shakes her head. "You're impossible sometimes babe... Okay, so it was just a couple months into our freshman year of highschool," she says. "Woah, you guys have been together that long? That's awesome!" Emma says. "Yeah!" Sarah beams, hugging Alesha a little tighter. "Sometimes you find the perfect girl right away.~" Alesha looks down at Sarah and briefly returns the hug before resuming her story. "So it was early in freshman year, and I'd had a really awful day. Like, right from when I'd woken up, absolutely nothing had gone right. I just wanted to go home and scream into my pillow, but of course right as I was getting on the bus I realized I forgot something I needed and had to hurry back to my locker. Naturally, I didn't get back in time..." "Oh, oh, we're getting to my favorite part!" Sarah giggles. Alesha giggles back and gives her a little nudge. "So I called my dad to come pick me up, and went to wait for him at this bench near the parking lot, dragging my feet the whole way... I was so annoyed that I didn't even notice there was already someone there until I was about to sit. And it was this beautiful, breathtaking, blue-eyed blonde girl, her hair looking like it was glowing with the way it caught the light." She pauses to give Sarah a hug. "She was sitting there slouched over and propping up her head with her hands, looking just as grumpy as me. I probably would have been too nervous to talk to her any other day, but after the day I'd had I just plopped down next to her and asked how she was." "And I just answered 'sucky'," Sarah giggles, putting on an grumpy sounding voice when imitating her past self. "Yep! Then I laughed and said I was feeling the same, and as we got to chatting I found out she'd had just as awful of a day as me. So we vented to each other about everything that had gone wrong, then made jokes about it, and by the time my dad showed up to get me I was already in love.~" Sarah squeezes her tight, then pulls her into a kiss. "Oh my gosh, that's so sweet!" Emma says. "It's like something out of a romance novel, you must be made for each other!"

She's wearing a loose white blouse and a mauve cardigan. You also notice that she only has a drink rather than any food, and, connecting the dots, a glance lower confirms the likely reason for both things. She's sporting a small gut, clearly having been digesting whoever her prey was for quite some time but still large enough to be noticeable. "Hello $name! Good to see you again," Mallory says with a smile, waving you over. "Hey<<if $malloryRel > 1>> Mal<</if>>!" you say, smirking as you look her over again, being fairly obvious about it. "So, uh, what happened with that girl earlier... Bailey I think it was?" you ask, pretty sure you already know the answer. "Oh her? Poor thing really did have me mistaken for someone else, Mallory isn't all that common of a name so it's quite a strange coincidence," Mallory says, smiling but giving you a somewhat uncomfortable look.

Her auburn hair is very messy, and you notice that she has some acne dotting her face. She seems pretty nervous and keeps glancing over at Mallory. "I don't think we've met before, I'm $name!" you say, giving her a wave. "O-Oh, hi!" the girl says after a brief pause, not seeming to realize you were talking to her at first. "Um, hey, I'm Leah." "This is my roommate, $name, glad you two will finally get to know each other!" Mallory says. She catches Leah glancing her way again and seems to give her a knowing smirk.

"Oh of course, no worries," you say, giving Leah a friendly nod.<<else>>Leah seems to be pretty distracted at the moment, not even seeming to notice that you're at the table at first.

"Joining it as a club isn't supposed to give you any real position, just show an interest in being involved in student government and have you act as an aide of sorts, but there were so few members that some of the executive seats had to be temporarily filled by default by the few upperclassmen there. Whoever the current VP is didn't even show up, and although Kim is very nice, she's clearly only president because she feels obligated rather than actually wanting the position. Goodness it's a mess!" "So, what do they actually do on campus?" you ask. "Not much, that's the problem!" Mallory laughs. "I was told that it was really more of a 'party planning committee' and that seems to be true. Other than introductions to how the council operates, the only thing we discussed was about what they'd be doing for Halloween this year." She sighs, then gets a grin. "But, not to worry! They //do// have real elections for the significant positions, and there's no seniority requirement to be president, you just need to run and get the votes. So by next semester I'll have the reins and I can get to work turning things around!" "Wow, you want to be student body president as a //freshman//?" you say.

I mean here we are all mixing together to create our own new culture, but you still want to box people into their original locale?" she says, cocking her head. "That's... not really what I was going for, I just thought it would be neat to know where everyone grew up." "Oh, yes, I suppose I got too philosophical there, I do completely understand the interest," Mallory chuckles. "I mean, I've been making the rounds and it turns out there are some folks here that are even from outside of the country!" She proceeeds to prattle on about several students she's heard of who come from interesting places, and transitions from that into an entirely different topic. It's frankly impressive how smoothly she steers things away from the initial question, but the fact still stands that at no point did she actually answer you, or even let Leah answer for that matter. You make a mental note that Kayla was definitely on point about her hiding that information. <<set $malloryInquiry1 to 2>><<set $malloryAttention3 += 1>> <</append>><<if $counter is 2>><<replace "#continue">><<include "Mallory and Leah End">><</replace>><<replace "#choices">><</replace>><</if>><</linkreplace>>\<</if>> \

<<set $day5DinnerIzumi to true>>Fascinated by the feast that's being prepared, you decide to head over to see what <<if $metIzumi>>Izumi<<else>>the girl<</if>> is up to. You survey all of the plates scattered around the table as you approach. It's a shocking amount of food: plates with sandwiches and wraps stacked into pyramids so tall they look like they're in danger of toppling, over a dozen dishes with mountains of various pasta spread around, and the most recent plates she set down stacked high with garlic bread, all spread in a semicircle around a single seat. You're starting to wonder if there's even food left up at the buffet line right now. Alongside all the food, she also has three glasses of water. <<if $metIzumi>>"Yes?" Izumi says, noticing you staring. Then she cocks her head slightly. "Oh, you're in cooking club, right? Do you need something?" "Yeah, hey! I'm just kind of curious about... all this," you say, gesturing to the packed tabletop. "I know you have a big appetite, but are you really going to eat all of this yourself?" "Of course!" she says with a smile. "Pasta night is my favorite, so many delicious things all served together." "But like... this much?" She giggles. "You may join me if you would like to see for yourself. Just don't eat any of my food." "Sure," you say, giving her a curious look as you sit down. "I guess I can hang around."<<else>>"Yes?" the girl says, noticing you staring. She speaks with a noticeable accent. She has long black hair tied back into a ponytail and brown eyes. Seeing the feast she's set out, you're even more intrigued by the fact that she's very petite, other than a pretty impressive bust. "Do you need something?" "Uh, sorry, I'm just kind of curious about... all this," you say, gesturing to the packed tabletop. "Are you like throwing a dinner party or something?" The girl smirks. "You must be new here, my name is Izumi. This is all for me," she says, pulling a plate of ziti in front of her and grabbing a fork. "Pasta night is my favorite." "Seriously?" you ask, glancing around at the food, then back at her petite frame. "You may join me if you would like," she says, nodding at the seat across from her. "To see for yourself. Just don't eat any of my food." "Uh-huh..." you say, giving her a curious look as you sit down. "I'm $name."<</if>> She doesn't respond, instead shoving a forkful of pasta into her face. She's barely chewed it at all before stuffing her mouth with another, already digging into the dish in front of her for another bite. A swallow sends a slight bulge down her throat as she clears her overfull mouth long before she could have properly dealt with it all, making room for another mouthful. You watch in amazement as she continues in this way until the entire plate has been cleared, constantly shoveling more food into her mouth without letting it stay empty for more than an instant. When only sauce and tiny scraps remain she takes a brief pause for the first time, to push the empty plate aside and take a swig of water. Then she places her hand on her stomach for a moment, belches, and drags another plate over with a smile on her face. "Wow you're, uh, you're completely serious about this," you say, a little stunned as she immediately starts tearing into the next plate with the same fervor. She doesn't acknoweldge your comment at all, her eyes locked on the plate of food with a mix of bliss and determination. In just a couple minutes, another several pounds of pasta disappears down her throat, and once again she only takes the briefest break to stack the plate on top of the first, relieve some gas, chug some water, then moves on to her next dish. This time it's one of the plates of garlic bread. It barely takes her two bites to scarf down each piece as she tears through the plate, spending so little time on each that you start to wonder why she isn't just swallowing it whole. Unlike before she's starting to take swigs of water in between inhaling the slices of bread, perhaps too dry to comfortably eat at the rate she's going without it. Before long, the entire plate of bread vanishes into the ravenous girl. Then one of her sandwich pyramids suffers the same fate, followed by a plate of spaghetti. And she hasn't even downed half of what she has laid out yet. While she tears into yet another plate of pasta, your own stomach growls. In your awe at the binge you're watching, you'd forgotten that you did come here to eat something yourself. As Izumi stacks her sixth empty plate on the pile, she pushes her chair back from the table a little. Smiling, she stops to look down and pat her belly this time. It's extremely bloated from all the food she's packed away--if you hadn't been watching her eat you would have assumed she was halfway through digesting someone. You start to take the opportunity to get up and go get food for yourself, but you've barely started to stand when she nudges her emptied water glasses toward you. "Fill these," she says, pulling another plate in front of her while she makes her request. "//*urrrp*// Please." "Uh, sure," you say, getting up and taking the empty cups. You have just been awkwardly watching her eat, you suppose the least you could do is help her out a little. You head over to the front of the dining hall while she starts to shovel the next serving into her mouth. It's only after you make your way to the drink machine that you realize she didn't actually tell you what she wanted. Probably safe to just go with more water, but maybe she'd want something with more flavor this time. \ <<link "Get her water">><<replace "#choice">>\ You decide it makes the most sense to just get her what she had before and refill the cups with water. Then, you carefully return to the table to give them back before you go to get your own food. You notice she seems to have changed her approach in your absence, having three different plates near her that she's constantly switching between now. "Here you go," you say, leaning over to place them in the nearest open spot.

However, when she sees you she stops and gets a slight frown. "I only needed water..." she says. "Oh, uh, sorry, you didn't specify," you say nervously. "I can go--" "It's fine," she sighs, tapping an open spot on the table near her. "The bubbles get in the way but I will not waste it." "Right, my bad...

Has she mentioned anything about that?"<<else>>You raise an eyebrow, curious about the sudden question. "Yeah, we've met," you answer. "Why do you ask?" Mallory smiles and gives a little nod.

"Has she mentioned anything about that?"<</if>> <<if $malloryInfo2 > 0>>\ You freeze for a moment, caught off guard by the question. Mallory's eyes narrow a little when you pause. After what Kayla mentioned yesterday, you're very on edge about Mallory seemingly probing to find out if she told you what she did this soon after. \ <<link "Tell Mallory what Kayla told you">><<replace "#snitch">>\ <<set $malloryAttention3 += 2>>"Well, actually yes, she has," you say, squinting back at her. You get the feeling she already knew somehow, so may as well confront her instead of getting caught in a lie. "I heard back then you had a knack for making the popular girls disappear so that you could be the center of attention, or something to that effect anyways. That true?" <<if $malloryAttention1>><<set $malloryTargetKayla to 1>>\ "Oh my, did she really say something like that about me?" Mallory replies, looking hurt. "I can assure you I would never do something like that, I don't know where she came up with the idea. And here I thought she was someone trustworthy..." She sighs, then gives you an apologetic smile. "I must confess $name, the reason I brought this up in the first place was because she told me something similarly awful about you. That you're a ruthless glutton that eats anyone that even slightly gets on your nerves, no matter your relation. She said you'd told her you ate your own sister! But you seemed so <<if $malloryRel < 0>>harmless<<else>>nice<</if>> that I found it hard to believe, and I wanted to at least confirm your relation with Kayla that could have granted her that information. Now it seems like she's just spreading baseless rumors about everyone..." "Really? I never even had a sister..." you reply, giving her a slightly suspicious look. She sighs again, then smirks and tilts her head down a little, making intense eye contact. "Someone really ought to teach her a lesson about spreading that kind of filth." There's an uncomfortable pause, then she goes back to a more cheerful smile and leans back upright. "Well, at any rate, I really need to be going. I'm glad we got that cleared up! I'll be stopping back at the dorm first if you want to come back with me, Leah."\ <<else>><<set $malloryTargetKayla to 2>>\ Mallory immediately looks hurt and her shoulders sag a little. "Oh no, no, she's not spreading that around here, is she? I don't know how that rumor got started but people used to spread it around all the time in highschool, it was always baseless but so many of my classmates shunned me, or even tried to eat me, for it anyways. Anytime someone popular got eaten, it was my fault somehow, even if they'd //seen// that someone else ate them. I thought I'd finally gotten away..." She takes a deep breath, then looks you in the eye. "I can assure you that I would never do such a petty thing, $name. I hope you can trust me." "That... sounds rough," you say, still giving her a suspicious look. You're a little conflicted, feeling like you should trust Kayla, but at the same time Mallory's reaction to hearing the rumor seemed pretty genuine. Her eyes narrow into a worrying glare. "I hadn't realized Kayla was such a gossip..." There's an uncomfortable pause, then she goes back to a more cheerful look and leans back upright. "Well, at any rate, I really need to be going.

The two of you head outside, leaving the crowded bustle of the dining hall behind as you step out into the cool evening air. The sky has faded to dusk by this hour, barely more than moonlight shining down anymore. But a warm, pleasant glow from lamps along the path keep the campus illuminated as you stroll side by side towards the fountain. It's quiet out, a couple people making their way between buildings but none of them saying much. "I don't want to be rude, but I'm kind of glad <<if $malloryRel > 1>>Mal<<else>>Mallory<</if>> had something else to do," you say.

"But now it's just you and me for a while!" you say with a smile. The two of you come to a stop as you reach the fountain. There's a ring of lights around the inside of each basin, making the water almost look like it's glowing. It's pretty, but the angel statue on top looks almost sinister when it's only lit from below. "This //is// really pretty..." Leah says, seeming a little entranced by the fountain for a moment. "I'm not usually outside this late." "Right? I love this kind of lighting," you say. <<if $leahAfterFirstClub > 0>>You look over at her and get a little smirk. "So how's the girl from last night treating you? Catherine I think her name was?"

"...Would you rather fight one hundred duck sized horses, or one horse sized duck?" Leah gives you a blank stare. "...what?" "Have you never heard this before?" you laugh. Then you give her a very serious look. "I need to know your answer, this is extremely important." Leah snorts. "Okay, obviously the horse sized duck," she replies. "One hundred is //so many//, and it's not like ducks are //that// small, there's no way I could do that alone. The duck is the only realistic option." "Okay, okay, you do have a good point.

She very subtly pats her belly. "That many people all squirming around would probably feel really nice, one giant person wouldn't be able to compare." She blushes a little at her own comment, then after a moment she looks over at you and gets very flustered. "Um, I, uh, I guess that's what I would do anyways..."

You give Leah a nudge and nod towards the garden. "How would you like to have a full belly two nights in a row?" Leah looks over just in time to see the girl before she's out of sight. "Oh, um..." She seems a little panicked, but gives you a nod. "I mean, if you really want to..."<<else>>"Hey, I know you just ate dinner, but how would you feel about something more filling?" you say with a grin. You give Leah a nudge and nod towards the garden. "I just thought of something we could do together." "Huh?" Leah says. She looks over just in time to see the girl before she's out of sight.

"Oh, well I mean I was offering to help //you// catch her<<if $fullness > 1>> since I'm still working through my last prey<</if>>, so if you aren't interested..." "No, no, let's do it!" Leah quickly blurts out. She blushes.

But I haven't seen it at night, we can check it out together," you say.<<else>>"Me neither, we can check it out together!" you say with a smile.<</if>> "Let's go!" The two of you start to head over to the garden, tailing the girl you saw before. The hedges surrounding it are just barely tall enough that you can't see over them, so you cross your fingers that she's actually the only other person in there. Leah seems pretty nervous, but that's quickly overtaken by awe as the two of you pass through the entrance. "Woah..." Leah mutters, looking around the area. You join her in pausing to take in the sight. <<if $cookoutGabby>>It's as pretty as you remember, but the way they've lit it up elevates it to another level at night. Fairy lights twinkle along the hedge walls and over the archway on the far side, smaller lamps dotting the flowerbeds with just enough space between them to create a gentle ambience rather than imitating daylight. You aren't sure if it's intentional or just a case of some bulbs being replaced more recently than others, but many of the lamps give off slightly different colors of light than each other, some warmer, some more of a bluish color. It gives the whole area a magical feeling.<<else>>It's a rather small area filled with bushes and a kaleidoscope of bright flowers, small lamps scattered throughout the flowerbeds to create a gentle ambience. You aren't sure if it's intentional or just a case of some bulbs being replaced more recently than others, but many of the lamps give off slightly different colors of light than each other, some warmer, some more of a bluish color. Meanwhile, fairy lights twinkle along the hedge walls enclosing the area, as well as across an overgrown archway with a bench beneath it on the far side. The whole place has a magical feeling to it.<</if>> Standing in the middle of the stone pathway that winds through the garden is your quarry. She's a girl about your height with caramel skin and dark, wavy hair that falls down to her shoulders. She's wearing a white spaghetti strap top and a very short green and purple skirt, leaving her legs entirely exposed. Leah has quickly gone from being fascinated by the garden to being entranced by her soon to be prey. You can't say you blame her, as the girl is currently leaning over to inspect some of the flowers with her back turned to the two of you. Her thighs alone were attention grabbing, but from this angle her skirt is barely doing anything to hide her flawlessly plump butt. You give Leah a nudge and start to move in on your target before one of you starts drooling. "Let's flank her while she's distracted," you whisper. "There's only one exit from here so this should be easy." "Uh-huh..." Leah mumbles, still staring. The two of you creep up on her, Leah moving around to her left side while you go for the right. You were thinking of just grabbing her right away, but before you've gotten too close she perks up and turns to you. "Oh, hello there!" she says, smiling. She smooths her skirt a little, perhaps aware of the view she was just giving you. "I didn't expect to run into anyone else here, what a pleasant surprise! My name is Iris." You give Leah a quick glance, then smile back at the girl as the two of you finish moving into position. "Hey! I'm $name," you say. "And this is my friend Leah." "A pleasure to meet you!" she says. Now that she's facing you, you notice that she has a necklace with a few small purple crystals hanging off it around her neck, as well as several purple and green bracelets and bands on her left arm. She's also wearing a hair band that's sporting a few fake flowers. "This place gives off such wonderful energy, it's a shame most people seem to overlook it. I'm glad there are others that appreciate this beautiful little slice of the campus!" "It is really pretty," Leah says. She isn't being too subtle about eying up Iris, but luckily the girl still doesn't seem to suspect anything. "Yeah we're actually checking it out for the first time," you say. <<if $karma < -1>>Iris suddenly gets a concerned look on her face and looks you over. "Oh dear, I'm sensing a very negative aura from you," she says, clasping her hands together. "Do you perhaps have ill intentions..? Or are you maybe carrying some regret over something you've already done?" You give her a weird look. Concerned that she's caught on to what's going on, you give Leah a nod while Iris's attention is fully on you.<<elseif $karma > 1>>Iris turns to you with a smile. "Oh my, you have a very positive aura!" She says, clasping her hands together. "Like the universe is smiling on you, you must be very selfless." "Uh... thanks?" you say, giving her a somewhat confused look. You smirk. "I guess you could call helping a friend catch a meal without getting one yourself selfless." You give Leah a nod while Iris's attention is fully on you.<<else>>"Oh, wonderful! It's a very nice space, I've come here every night to meditate a little since I found out about it." She turns back to the flowerbed in front of her, closes her eyes, and takes a deep breath. Then, after pausing a moment, she turns back toward you. "They've done such a lovely job tending to it, it's a shame things will start to wilt soon, but that's nature's way." "Right..." you say. You give Leah a nod while Iris's attention is fully on you.<</if>> She doesn't waste a second, immediately wrapping her arms around the girl from behind. "Wha--!" is all Iris manages to get out of her mouth before Leah begins swallowing her head. You rush in to assist her, grabbing Iris's wrists and pinning them to her side. Leah swallows again, pulling her head fully into her mouth, but then she pauses for a moment. While you keep Iris's arms pinned, Leah brings her hands up and, after fumbling a little bit, pulls off the girl's necklace. After stowing it in her pocket, she gets back to work, skillfully moving down past her prey's shoulders. Iris squirms harder against your grip in protest after losing her necklace, but once Leah's lips have moved past her chest she mostly goes still, seemingly accepting her fate. Leah eagerly swallows her down, moving with impressive speed. As she gets close to the girl's waist, you shift your hands and slowly ease her up over Leah's head to make it easier for her to finish the job. Despite your assistance, Leah still somewhat shamelessly grabs at the girls hips to guide her down into her body. You don't judge, admiring Iris's rear yourself up until it's finally squeezed down into Leah's throat. Once only Iris's shins remain hanging from Leah's mouth, you let go of her and instead shift your attention to Leah's steadily growing gut. Her hoodie is riding up as it expands, barely covering any of her belly. You crouch down a little and start to rub your hands over her exposed skin to soothe it as she finishes her meal. You can feel Iris slowly getting squeezed into her stomach beneath her warm flesh, noting the odd sensation of her body shifting into position while Leah's stomach makes room for it. Soon, the last of her has disappeared from the outside world, one final swallow fully sealing the girl inside of your friend. "//*UUUURRRrrp*// Hah..." Leah grins down at her gut, panting a little. Her cheeks are flushed red. When you feel the last of Iris get deposited into her stomach and her belly stops growing, you give it a final little pat before letting go and standing back up. "Th--//*UURrp*//--Thanks..." Leah says, covering her mouth and blushing. "That felt... really //*urp*// good..." "I'm glad," you reply with a smile. "How did she taste?" "Delicious..." Leah sighs, starting to gently caress her gut. "I suppose that is some consolation..." you hear Iris mutter from inside of her. The bulges in Leah's gut start to shift a bit as she wriggles against the stomach walls. Leah lets out another little burp from the movement. "Why did you eat me? Could we not have just enjoyed the garden together?" "Oh, I think the garden will be much more enjoyable this way," you chuckle, patting Leah's gut. "Thanks for showing us how nice it is here though! Eating you is the only reason we came." "How sinister... you're welcome, I suppose," she sighs. She squirms a little again, but you can see Leah squeeze her muscles tight in response. Iris stays still even after the pressure is relieved. "I knew I should have worn my obsidian today instead... Oh well, at least I was somewhere beautiful when it happened~" she hums. "Giving up already?" you say, poking Leah's gut. "Well, although I would rather not be in here and would greatly appreciate it if you had the kindness to release me, I don't think there is any point in fighting. There are two of you, and your friend is clearly quite skilled on her own," Iris replies. Leah lets out a burp, as if her body wanted to acknowledge the compliment. "This is just the natural way of things, it was bound to happen eventually. It's not as though I haven't brought others into my being before as well. Better to go peacefully than fight against fate." "...You're not gonna struggle even //*urp*// a little bit more?" Leah asks, a hint of disappointment in her voice. "I'm afraid not," Iris replies. The bulge in Leah's gut shifts a tiny bit as her prey gets into the most comfortable position she can manage. There's a small pause, then you faintly hear her let out a long exhale. "If you wish to enjoy the process more, your friend's massage was actually quite nice, I'm sure it would soothe us both if she resumed." "Wow, sorry, I didn't realize she was a total weirdo when I pointed her out," you say with a laugh. "It's fine," Leah giggles. "She was, um, she, uh..." "Had the best ass you've seen on campus?" you laugh. "y-yeah that... is what I was thinking..." Leah mumbles, blushing. "I know right! I'm kinda jealous you're the one that got to pack that thing away, but I wasn't gonna go back on my word." "Oh, and please go ahead and use that necklace you took!" Iris chimes in, ignoring your crude remarks. "I can tell even moreso from inside of you that your spirit is troubled with constant worry. Amethyst is a soothing ward against stress and anxiety, I'm sure it could really help you." "Anyways... why don't we go sit down?" you say, ignoring Iris. You nod towards the nearby bench under the archway. "I'm willing to take her suggestion about that massage." "O-Oh! Um, okay, yeah, sure," Leah says. She waddles over towards the bench with you, her gut swaying and making light sloshing sounds as she moves. "So why //did// you take her necklace?" you ask as the two of you sit down beneath the arch. Leah jumps a little and practically squeaks as you lean over and start to work your hands over her belly again. "Um, I wasn't sure if I would be able to digest it so I didn't want to take a chance..." she says, pulling the necklace out of her pocket briefly to look at it. "And, uh, I thought it looked cool... Crystals and gems are really neat, I think." "Oh, I'm definitely with you there," you say with a smile. You work your hands in deeper for a moment as you continue your massage, pushing out a small belch from Leah. "Do you think you'll actually wear it? You don't strike me as the jewelry type." "Oh, probably not, it's probably too flashy for me," she replies. She keeps fidgeting with her hands, like she's not sure where to put them since you're already rubbing her belly. "I might like, um, hang it on my wall or something..." "Careful, I hear keeping trophies from your prey is a slippery slope," you chuckle. "Besides, didn't you hear her? That thing will align your stress chakra or some shit." Leah snorts, breaking into a small fit of laughter. "I don't //*urp*// buy into that sort of thing... it might make a good prop for roleplaying or something though..." There's a silence that seems to linger for a while, the gurgling and groaning of Leah's gut going to work on Iris the only thing filling the air. It isn't an uncomfortable silence, though, rather a pleasant moment. Leah seems to actually be relaxing under your massage despite how flustered she was about the idea. True to her word, Iris never so much as even adjusts her position again. Nor does she say anything else, though you swear you could hear her humming for a while. Once Leah's gut has softened considerably, you finally ease out of your massage and sit back on the bench. "It's beautiful in here..." you say, finally breaking the silence. "I know, it's amazing..." Leah replies, her eyes wandering around the garden. "Feels kind of magical the way they did the lights." "Yeah..." you say, joining her in admiring the view. Leah laughs under her breath. "You know, when I was a kid I used to try and make potions with flowers and stuff," she says. She starts to idly rub her own gut in the absence of your efforts, a content smile on her face. "There were these woods near our house and I used to go out and pick random plants and try to mix them up into something." "Really? That's adorable," you say, grinning at her. "Yep, it was fun..." she chuckles. "My mom never let me actually drink anything I made, obviously, but sometimes she'd play along by saying she would add the 'finishing touch' and go into the house to swap it out for juice." She sighs. "But then one day I ended up picking some mushrooms that I must have been allergic to, I got this crazy rash all over my arms. Margaret put a stop to me doing it at all after that. It was probably for the best..." "'Margaret'?" you ask, cocking your head a little. "Oh, uh, Margaret is my stepmom," Leah replies. Unfortunately, your direct question seems to have brought back her nervousness. "My mom, um, remarried when I was pretty young..." "Oh, gotcha..." you say. Part of you wants to know more, but considering bringing it up at all seems to have changed the mood you drop the subject. <<if $ateAlex and $leahHangout>>\ <<set $leahPrey.push({name: "Iris", status: "fodder", details: "who made for an excellent cushion"})>>\ For a little while, things go back to being silent, this time a bit of an awkward feeling filling the air. A particularly loud gurgle from Leah's gut draws your attention to it. It's gotten much rounder after churning away at Iris for so long, and you can tell just looking at it that it's a lot softer than before. You glance up at Leah and get a sly smile on your face. "Hey Leah, could you lean back a little more?" you ask. She looks kind of confused, but obliges, scooting forward on the bench so she can lean back more and sit at an angle. "Uh, sure, like this?" she says. "Good enough," you say with giggle. Her gut is probably in the best position you could hope for with this seating arrangement. "I've been wanting to try this, I think it's only fair I get a turn after the other night.~" "H-Huh? Wha--//*UUURP*//!" A loud belch races out of Leah's mouth as you drop yourself onto her gut, leaning on her like a beanbag chair just like she did when you hung out in her dorm. You seem to have short curcuited her brain with the sudden move, she stays totally still and doesn't say anything for a little while, her hands frozen in midair. Your body presses down onto the soft surface of her gut, the sloshing mess inside cushioning your weight. "Wow, this is actually really comfortable! You were on to something," you say. Not only is the plush surface surprisingly comfortable to lay on, but the heat radiating out from the furious churning of her belly feels amazing after being exposed to the cool evening air for so long. "Wait, hang on..." you say, pushing yourself off of her for a moment. You turn around and instead lean back onto her belly, crossing your arms behind your head. "There we go, this way makes more sense if we're just chatting." "U-Uh, um, y-yeah... It was pretty comfortable that night..." Leah finally says. "I think you had an unfair advantage honestly," you snicker. "Your seat was way better than mine." "Oh come on, I still could have beaten you if I'd been standing on one leg the whole time," Leah laughs, seeming to temporarily forget about her feelings on the current arrangement. "Hey, I won, like, twice!" you reply. "Not once I started taking things seriously," she shoots back. While you have her focus off the current situation, she finally relaxes her hands again. Her distracted mind ends up deciding that your stomach is the best place to rest her left hand and you find yourself blushing a little. "That's what they always say," you reply, though you quickly find that you're now feeling distracted and your heart isn't quite in it. "H-Heh, y-yeah..." Leah mumbles, clearly getting flustered again. There's a silent pause. "Um, sorry, I can get off if you're uncomfortable..." you say. "N-No, it's not that it's uncomfortable it just... um..." She fidgets in place a little. "This just feels kind of... romantic..." she says, practically whispering by the time she gets to the last word. You look up at her, her face haloed by the vines and twinkling fairy lights above you. You smile and feel your cheeks get a little redder. "Yeah, I guess it is." Leah looks down at you and you lock eyes, silence filling the air again. Then she looks away and lifts her hands up like something had startled her. "U-Um hey, uh, actually it's getting kinda late isn't it?" she says, stumbling over her words. "And I, uh, I actually really need to use the bathroom..." You sit up and burst out laughing. "Alright, with that it's definitely //not// romantic anymore!" you say. You turn to her with a smile. "So no need to be nervous anymore." "R-Right..." she says, giving you an appreciative smile in return. The two of you get up from the bench and start to head back toward Karbo. [[Continue->Leah Chat- Catch a Meal 2]] <<else>>\ <<set $leahPrey.push({name: "Iris", status: "fodder", details: "who you helped her catch while hanging out one night"})>>\ For a little while, things go back to being silent, this time a bit of an awkward feeling filling the air. But soon enough it passes and you're back to idly chatting, enjoying each other's company as you pass the time. All kinds of gurgling and groaning fills the garden as Leah's stomach works to break down Iris, her gut gradually shrinking and softening. Eventually, the cold evening air starts to get to you and Leah seems to be starting to doze off. "I'm about ready to call it a night I think, what about you?" you say. You give her much softer belly a little pat. "You look like you're ready to sleep this off." "Yeah..." Leah says with a yawn. Though Leah struggles a little under the weight of her gut, you both finally stand up from the bench. After taking a moment to stretch out, you start to head out of the garden and back toward Karbo.

It's quiet out, a couple people making their way between buildings but none of them saying much.

Though it's noticeably smaller already, Leah is still slowed down by the extra weight of her bloated belly, what remains of Iris sloshing a little with every step. When the two of you step back into Karbo, the heated air makes your realize just how cold you were. The walk back through the halls is awkwardly quiet, but soon enough you arrive at the door to your dorm. "Alright, this is my stop," you say, pulling out your key. You smile at Leah. "Have a good night!" "You too..!" Leah says. She stays standing there and looks down, shifting in place a little. One of her hands is fidgeting with the plush flesh of her gut. "Um...

<<Time 18.5>>You and Emma make your way upstairs, starting to head back through Lampton to get to your dorm. Through the windows you can see that the light outside has faded to dusk, not long left before the darkness of night takes over. Emma pauses for a moment to appreciate the view of the campus all lit up from the bridge. As you start to move on, you notice someone coming the other way that must have just come out of their room. She looks vaguely familiar--brown skin and eyes, dark hair in a long, thick braid, a small beauty mark on her cheek... She starts glaring at you and it finally clicks: it's Chandra, from the locker room on the first day. Evidently, she hasn't forgotten about your attempt to eat her. "Jerk... of course you're still fine after Monday..." she grumbles as she walks past the two of you. Emma gives you a confused look. "Um, do you know her?" she asks, glancing back at the girl. \ <<link "Ignore Chandra and head back to your room">><<replace "#choice1">>"Nope, don't think so," you say with a shrug. "She must have me confused with someone else. Or she's just muttering to herself about something..." You don't feel like there's any reason to explain the incident to Emma. "Oh, weird," Emma replies. "I hope she doesn't come after you thinking you're whoever she's mad at..." "I'm sure I'll be fine," you chuckle.

Actually, you know what?" you say, turning around. "Hey, Chandra!" you call out before she gets out of sight. She stops and turns around, crossing her arms. She takes a couple steps closer so you can talk without shouting, but still keeps her distance. "Oh good, at least you remember my name," she grumbles. "What do you want? Trying to get another taste?" "No, um, I wanted to apologize," you say sheepishly. "//Reaally//?" she says, frowning and tilting her head a little. "You expect me to believe that, jerk? You're just gonna try to eat me again now that you have backup." She gestures to Emma. "You tried it before when I was being nothing but nice, I'm not a dummy." "Um, hi, I'm Emma by the way," Emma says. "Look, I'm serious. I get why you wouldn't trust me, but..." you say. "It was the first day, I was kind of nervous and excited, and like... I don't know, it's a vore school, it just seemed like the natural thing to do at the time. But I feel bad about it now, I shouldn't have tried to eat anyone so early on." "That's it?" she scoffs. "'Oh, I should have waited longer, my b!' What a joke. You're just sorry you didn't get to turn me into pudge." Her shoulders sag a little. "I was just trying to make friends, you know, meet new people, get a nice fresh start? I guess you helped me learn early on not to trust anyone here..." "I... You were trying to be nice, and I betrayed your trust, I'm sorry," you say. "I'm not really sure what else I could say to convince you, but it's true." She looks you over, scowling, then starts to get a conflicted look on her face. Emma glances between the two of you as tense silence forms. She starts tapping her foot, and after a little bit longer she drops her head and groans. "Ugh, me and my stupid big heart..." she mutters to herself. Then she sighs and looks back up at you. "Alright, fine, I feel like you're actually serious here. But, you've gotta make it up to me if you're really sorry." "Sure, what were you thinking?" you reply. She pauses again and taps her cheek, briefly looking off to the side. Then she grins. "Okay, I've got it! So, if you want to really prove that you're sorry, let me get even!" She puts her hands on her hips. "Let me swallow you for a little while. Then I'll let you out after you've gotten a taste of your own medicine. Or, a taste of //my// acid, I guess." "What?" you say, squinting at her. "You're kidding, right?" Emma chimes in. <<if $lockerChandra != "vomit">>"I didn't even actually get you down, that's not exactly even anyways," you protest. "Yeah, but 'let me //almost// eat you' doesn't really work, that would just be, like, weird roleplay," Chandra says with a shrug. "That's my offer! I'm totally legit here, swear on my mother I'll let you go well before you get digested. And even if you don't believe me, you've got your friend here as insurance, there's no way I could keep you down if you were struggling and she was helping from the outside."<<else>>"Nope, that's my offer!" Chandra says. "I'm totally legit here, swear on my mother I'll let you go well before you get digested. And even if you don't believe me, you've got your friend here as insurance, there's no way I could keep you down if you were struggling and she was helping from the outside."<</if>> "I guess that is true, I wouldn't just let her digest you..." Emma says. \ [[Let her swallow you to make amends->Chandra Encounter- Swallowed]] <<link "That's way too risky">><<replace "#choice2">>\ "Yeah, sorry, that's way too risky. I really am sorry, but I'm not so desperate for you to forgive me that I'm willing to go into the stomach of someone who has a grudge against me," you say. "Well then I guess I'm keeping that grudge," Chandra huffs. She quickly turns around and starts to walk off. "Don't talk to me again unless you change your mind!" You sigh as you watch her walk off. Then you feel Emma rest a hand on your shoulder. "Hey, that was really cool of you to do," she says with a smile. "I don't think I would have been willing to take that risk either, you still tried. //I// believe you about feeling sorry." "Heh, thanks," you say, returning her smile.<<if $emmaRel < 3>> <<Emma 1>><</if>> [[Continue on to your dorm->September 5th- Night]]<</replace>><</link>><</replace>><</link>>

<<Time 18.75>><<set $karma += 1>><<set $day5ChandraApology to 2>>\ You hesitate for a moment before answering. "Okay," you say. "If that's what it'll take for us to put this behind us, I'll do it." "Great!" Chandra says, taking a couple steps closer. She claps her hands together. "Step up when you're ready." "Are you really sure about this?" Emma says<<if $emmaRel > 2>>, lightly grabbing your arm<</if>>. "Yeah..." you say, taking a deep breath.<<if $emmaRel > 0>> You smile at her.<</if>> "She did make a good point, I've got you here to make sure she stays true to her word." "Right, I'll... do my best," she replies with a nervous smile. "Alright Chandra, how are we doing this?" you ask, stepping up to stand in front of her. "Well, first, fair warning: I was on my way to get dinner and I'm super hungry, so it might be extra grumbly in there right now," she says, patting her stomach and laughing a little. "We'll say you spend... ten minutes in me? That should be enough for 'payback' without getting too risky." "That sounds fair. Emma, you keep track of the time," you say. You hold out your hands towards Chandra. "Okay, uh, go ahead I guess." She grins and gently grabs you. "Down the hatch you go! I bet you don't taste as good as I did, hehe!" she giggles. She opens her mouth wide and starts to pull your fingers toward her lips, but then stops and lets go. "Oh actually! Let's do feet first. Might as well mix it up if you're letting me do it!" "Sure, I guess..." you say with a shrug. You pull off your shoes and sit down, then lift up your legs a little toward her. "Now this feels a little weird to be doing just out here on the bridge though." "Ah, who cares!" Chandra says, waving her hand dismissively. She kneels down and grabs your legs. "Okay, for real this time! Remember, I'm letting you back out so don't struggle too much." With that she finally starts to swallow you, pushing your feet into the warmth of her mouth. She grips your legs tight and feeds them into her, slowly starting to drag you down into her throat. You remain calm, but you can't help feeling a bit uneasy as you watch yourself disappear into your former prey. Emma seems pretty nervous as well while watching from the sidelines. <<if $emmaRel > 2>> "Are you sure that you trust her enough for this? There's still time for me to stop her if you need me to," Emma says, crouching down next to you. "Yeah, it's okay. Just ten minutes," you say, giving her a reassuring smile. "You've got a timer ready, right?" "Yep..." she sighs.<</if>> Soon, you feel your feet bottom out inside of Chandra, your knees starting to bend as you're squeezed down into her stomach. Chandra seems to be enjoying herself, massaging her belly with one hand as it slowly bloats out while the other works to feed you into her body. As she starts to push past your hips, however, you notice that she seems to be struggling with the way you're both positioned. "Um... would you be alright if I helped her out?" Emma says. "Yeah, go ahead, I'd rather get this part over with quickly..."<<if $emmaRel > 1>> "Okay... but this had better work out alright. I'll never forgive myself if I actually //feed// you to her and you end up getting digested..."<</if>> With your permission, Emma hooks her hands under your arms and lifts you up to give Chandra a better angle. She gives Emma a thumbs up and sits back into a more comfortable position. Emma gradually feeds you into her mouth, while Chandra eagerly gulps you down, dragging you into the slick depths of her stomach bit by bit. Soon your chest disappears through her lips, and you can feel her tongue advancing up the back of your neck. Emma gives you one last worried look as a final swallow pulls your head into the darkness of Chandra's body. You can feel her rubbing her belly as the last of you slowly slides down her throat and curls up into her gut. The feet-first entry leaves you in a very awkward position, ending up mostly upside down with your shoulders resting at the bottom of her stomach. Grumbling and groaning fills your ears, the slimy walls immediately starting to grind against you pretty aggressively. She wasn't kidding about being hungry. "//*UUURRRrrrrp*// Haha, woah! That was //*urp*// actually really nice!" Chandra says with a laugh. "I've never been //*urrrp*// fed like that before, thank you! You've got the timer going, right?" "Yeah... and you're welcome!" Emma says. You feel a third hand rest against you from outside. "Are you alright in there $name?" "More or less..." you reply. "I'm not in the most comfortable position." "Yeah I was noticing that," Chandra says. "Are you gonna freak out if I //*urp*// try and reposition you?" "I was gonna ask the same thing," you say with a slightly nervous chuckle. It's hard to stay calm with her stomach roaring around you. "Uh, go ahead I guess." "Okay! It's probably only fair that I get a little rough anyways so this works out well," she replies, giving you a poke. You hear, and to some degree feel, her take a deep breath, then the walls of her stomach gently close in on you. The pressure is uncomfortable, but you can tell that it isn't an aggressive squeeze. The slick flesh around you starts to shift, pressing in a bit tighter in waves moving from the bottom of her stomach to the top. You can feel her pushing in on you with her hands from the outside as well to aid in the process. Progress is slow, but you do feel her efforts start to flip you around into an upright position. "I've never //*urp*// done this before, feels weird," she says in a somewhat strained tone. Her burp causes the walls to briefly squeeze a little tighter and halt your progress. "But I think... there we go!" She gives her belly a triumphant pat as you settle into a more typical position: curled up upright with your back facing out. "Yeah it felt weird on my end too," you say, shifting slightly to get a little more comfortable. "But so does being in here at all, it definitely wasn't as bad as getting crushed by someone actually trying to digest me at least." "Well shoot, this is supposed to be payback for //you// actually trying to digest //me// you know," Chandra pouts. She jabs your right side with her finger, then shortly after gives you another poke from the left, going back and forth like that for a little bit. "I've gotta make you a //little// uncomfortable," she giggles. "She does kind of have a point," you hear Emma say with a nervous laugh. Shortly after you feel an extra, much gentler poke against your back. <<if $emmaRel > 2>>"You are going to let her out though, right? There's seven minutes left." "Yeah, yeah, of course! As tempting as it is to have this be my dinner now that she's in there, I'm a girl of my word!" Chandra says. "I //*urp*// totally would have tried to run away back to my room by now if I was gonna betray you." "Right..." Emma says. "And $name, you're alright still?" "Yeah, I'm good."<<else>>"...seven minutes left."<</if>> "So you said your name is Emma, right?" Chandra asks. You feel her almost snuggle up against her gut, leaning forward with her arms crossed and resting on top of you while her legs gently squeeze in from the sides. "You guys friends, roommates? Dating? Geez I should have checked beforehand, I wouldn't blame you if //you// have it out for me now for making you feed your girlfriend to me if it's that one!" "<<if $emmaRel > 4>>No she's not--we aren't--" Emma replies hastily, then pauses to clear her throat.<<else>>Oh no we're not dating, don't worry," Emma replies with a <<if $emmaRel > 2>>slightly nervous <</if>>laugh.<</if>> "We're roommates!<<if $emmaRel > 0>> And friends too of course!<</if>> And don't worry, she agreed to this so I wouldn't hold it against you as long as this goes the way you promised." "Well great! Can't blame you for being nervous either way, no way in hell I would trust this if I were you two," Chandra laughs. "Honestly I've already forgiven you just for agreeing," she gives you a poke, "no way someone who wasn't genuine about being sorry would go through with this." "Can you let me out early then?" "Nah, your buddy's got the timer set," she chuckles, lightly massaging her belly. "So I'm gonna enjoy this while I can, feeling this full is great." "Fair enough..." you sigh. You're still a little on edge being trapped inside her, especially with how active her stomach seems to be. You're starting to feel some acid pooling around your feet. "It is only fair to stick to what you agreed on $name," Emma says. You feel her rest her hand against Chandra's belly.<<if $emmaRel > 2>> "As long as you're still okay in there." "Yeah, I'm fine for now, don't worry unless we go over the time and she tries to keep me," you reassure her. "I'm still gonna worry," Emma says with a little laugh. "And you're really, definitely gonna let her out in..." she pauses for a brief moment, "...five minutes?" "Yes, I promise, I promise!" Chandra laughs. "Damn you have an amazing roommate $name, hasn't even been a week and she cares about you //this// much. Makes me wish mine was still around." "Aw, I'm sorry," Emma says, shifting her hand to rub her belly a little. "Oh it's fine! Didn't have nearly enough time to get attached and it's kinda nice having the room all to myself. But thank you!" Chandra replies. "You know I really like what you've done with your hair! I'm not usually into dye but yours looks really nice."<<else>> "You know, I really like what you've done with your hair!" Chandra says. "I'm not usually into dye but yours looks really nice."<</if>> "Thank you!" Emma says. "Your outfit is really cute, I love that shade of blue!" While you stew away in Chandra's gut thinking about what you've done, her and Emma start to really hit it off. After just a couple minutes they already seem like great friends. If it weren't for Emma frequently reminding Chandra of the time left<<if $emmaRel > 2>>, and incessantly checking that you're still doing okay<</if>>, you'd be afraid that they'd forgotten about you. Luckily, that at least means that Chandra pretty much leaves you completely alone for the remaining time. While the natural grinding of her stomach walls isn't particularly pleasant, your temporary trip into her gut isn't nearly as bad as you were expecting. After a while, though, the rising tide of stomach acid is starting to get concerning. Just as you're about to speak up, you hear the faint beeping of a phone alarm. <<if $emmaRel > 2>>"Alright, that's time, please let her out now," Emma says, abruptly dropping their conversation. "Of course! Get ready in there, you're coming up," Chandra says, giving you a pat.<<else>>"Well, I guess your time out is over," Chandra chuckles. "Get ready, you're coming up!"<</if>> "Oh, um, I //really// hate vomit so I might freak out when she comes out... Just as a warning..." Emma says sheepishly.<<if $emmaInfo1 < 1>><<set $emmaInfo1 to 1>><</if>> "Fair!" Chandra says with a laugh. Then, you feel her start to squeeze you tight, clenching her stomach muscles and trying to push you up from the outside. It takes a moment for her stomach to get the message, but not too long after she puts the pressure on a sour groan rocks through the walls and you feel them clamp down even harder. Slowly but surely, you're squeezed back up into her throat headfirst. The trip out is surprisingly smooth, your slimy body gracefully sliding out onto the floor of the bridge. Other than being absolutely drenched in digestive fluids, you're no worse for wear. "Blech..." Chandra mutters as she stands up, wiping her mouth. She quickly recovers, though, and grins at you. "Well, looks like we're even now $name! Apology accepted." "I'm... glad we can put this behind us," you say with a slight chuckle. You carefully get back up onto your feet, flicking some of the slime off of your hands. "Well, maybe I'll catch you around sometime and we can hang out //without// someone ending up in a stomach!" she laughs. "But I'm now //mega// starving after that, and I really need to wash this taste out of my mouth, so I gotta get going. You also really need a shower." With that, she waves and continues on her way to the dining hall. You turn to Emma, finding that she's standing several feet away with her back turned to you now. "Ready to head back?" you ask. "Yes, definitely!" Emma replies. "She was absolutely right about that shower, lets hurry..." You laugh and the two of you start to head back to your dorm, Emma staying far ahead of you. [[Continue->Chandra Encounter- Aftermath]]

<<Time 19>><<set $totalEscaped += 1>><<set $outfit to "pjs">><<set $outfitState to "normal">>You and Emma make your way downstairs to return to your dorm. Emma arrives first and opens the door, then steps back to wait for you to head inside first so that you don't get the doorknob dirty. She takes far longer than she needs to to follow you in to give you ample time to get into the bathroom before she fully enters the room. "You know, if you don't like me you can just say it," you joke, lingering in the bathroom doorway. "N-No it's just... oh, you know why I'm being weird!" she pouts. "Just hurry and get cleaned up!" "I don't know how you're gonna last here if you're this squeamish about even a little stomach acid," you laugh, turning to head into the shower. You turn on the water and set down the clean clothes you'd picked out, your pajamas for the night, then start to strip off the soiled outfit you have on. While Chandra was honest about not trying to digest you, her stomach unfortunately didn't get the message, and you can tell that your current clothes were damaged beyond recovery by the dip into her acids. So, you peel off the acid drenched garments and toss them in the trash, then hop under the warm stream of water to get clean. You take your time washing off since you don't have anything else to do tonight, enjoying the soothing feeling of the water over your skin. For Emma's sake, you go extra heavy on the soap to make sure you definitely get rid of any residual scent left behind. The water is starting to get cold and your fingers are pruning by the time you finally decide to step out and get changed. You dry yourself off, don your clothes, and step back into the room with a contented sigh. "Looking much better now," Emma says with a grin. She's laying back on her bed scrolling through her phone "I don't know, I think 'covered in goo' might be a good look for me," you joke as you head over to sit on your own bed. Emma laughs and shifts to the edge of her mattress to face you. "So, $name, I just wanted to say..." she says, giving you a warm smile. "That was really cool, what you did back there. Going that far to make up for wronging her, it's really admirable. You're awesome." "Thanks," you say, returning her smile. "It was kind of scary, but I'm glad I was able to set things straight." "She seemed really cool too, I'm glad you failed trying to eat her!" Emma laughs. "Oh gosh, I was so worried about you I forgot to invite her to the party!" "Personally I'm glad you had your priorities straight," you chuckle. "Yeah, I guess it would have been weird to invite her while you were in her gut! I'll find her another time," she says.<<if $emmaRel > 2>> She blushes a little as she looks at you.<</if>> "But again, seriously, you're awesome $name. I'm really glad we ended up as roommates." <<if $emmaRel < 2>> <<Emma 2>><<elseif $emmaRel < 5>> <<Emma 1>><</if>> You and Emma both just take some time to relax for the rest of the night, occasionally chatting but mostly doing your own things, Emma glued to her phone and you to your laptop. After a while Emma gets up to take her nightly shower. You can feel yourself starting to get tired, so when you hear the roar of the shower stop and Emma steps back out into the room, you head right into the bathroom behind her. [[Get ready for bed->September 5th- End of Day]]

The pre-popped kind with flavoring on it, if that's good with you. I'm pretty much addicted to this stuff." <<if $fullness > 1>>"I think I'm pretty set as far as snacks," you snicker, patting your belly. "Oh, uh, right," Emma says with a little laugh. "More for me then!" She puts away the bowls she'd started to get out and just sets the whole bag of popcorn on her bed.<<else>>"Yeah, sounds good to me," you say. "Great!"

Curious, you try a piece--it's a flavor you can't quite place, something slightly spicy. Definitely good, whatever it is<</if>>. "What movie did you have in mind?" "Ah! Okay, so, I've been really, really wanting to rewatch one of my favorites lately, and I'd love to introduce you to it if you haven't seen it before," she says, practically vibrating with excitement. "Are you alright with monster movies?" You give her somewhat of a double take, caught off guard by that question. You were anticipating something like a romcom from her.

Then your comfort is promptly disrupted as you discover that the volume was up about twice as loud as it needed to be, the opening theme of the movie nearly shaking the walls as it blasts through the room. Emma quickly pauses the movie and corrects the problem as you both laugh. While you settle back into your spot, Emma shifts in place a little without hitting play again. "Hey, actually... would you be cool if I sat on your bed too?" she asks. "It would probably be a better viewing experience if we didn't have to tilt the tv for both of us to see." "Oh..! Sure, go ahead," you say, shifting to the side so that you're pretty much right against the wall. You pat the empty space you created for her. "Awesome!" She quickly gets up to reposition the screen, then plops down next to you and resumes the movie. You settle into your new position as the movie gets started, <<if $fullness > 1>>Emma sitting so close that her leg is slightly grazing your belly since there isn't much room on the bed<<else>>only a few inches between you and Emma since there isn't a ton of room on the bed<</if>>.

As it goes on, you gradually start to slide down into a more relaxed position, Emma similarly getting more and more comfortable. <<if $fullness < 2>>She tears through her bowl of popcorn much faster than you, and barely hesitates to just start eating from yours instead, even giving you a teasing smirk the first time.<<else>>She absolutely tears through the bag of popcorn she had, finishing off the entire thing by herself before the movie is even halfway over. Seeming a little sheepish about that fact, she puts the empty bag out of sight on your bedside table.<</if>> Every time one of Emma's favorite scenes, which is evidently most of them, starts to come up, she'll get excited and start to hype it up. But you start to notice that each time she does that, when she returns to a more relaxed position again she keeps winding up a little bit closer to you. The movie and occasional chatting or joking with her keeps you distracted enough that you don't pay much attention to how much more intimate your position gets over time. <<if $emmaRel > 4>>"You know, I've always thought she was super cute," Emma says, referring to the female lead. You catch her glancing over at you in the pause after her statement. "I don't actually know who the actress is, but I've always had a crush on the character," she adds, chuckling. You grin to yourself. "Yeah, I can totally see it. I'd date her," you reply, glancing back at her with a slight blush. <</if>>You can definitely see why this is one of Emma's favorites, getting completely sucked into the movie before long. It isn't until the credits roll that you fully realize how you and Emma are sitting. You're leaning back far enough to almost be laying down, while Emma is laying right next to you at a slight angle, tilted towards you. There's no longer any space between you, Emma not only pressed up against you but resting her head on your chest<<if $fullness > 1>> and a hand on your shrinking gut<</if>>. Any possibility that she might have just been similarly distracted and not realized what she was doing goes out the window as she sits up, stretches her arms out, yawns, then goes right back to the same position. "U-Um that was, uh, really good," you say, starting to feel very flustered. She looks up at you with a lazy smile. "Right? I'm so glad you liked it." She sighs, slightly snuggling up against you. "I wish I'd showered and gotten changed before we started, it would have been great to just fall asleep like this...<<if ($fat > 19) or ($breastSize > 34)>> You're really soft...<</if>>" "Uh, r-right..." you mumble. Caught off guard by the situation, despite the fact that you've probably been laying like this for a while, you have no idea what you should do. For a moment you consider putting an arm around her, but can't muster the confidence. She pulls away and sits up, her cheeks rosy. "S-Sorry, too far?" she says. "No it's not that, I..." "I'll hop in the shower," Emma says with a smirk, standing up. "Thanks for a great night, $name."<<if $emmaRel < 5>> <<Emma 1>><</if>> As she heads into the bathroom, you take a deep breath and pull out your phone to try and cool down a little.

"I'm so glad you liked it, I was a little afraid because some people laugh at me for being so into these kinda of movies." "I have to admit, it's not what I would have expected you to be into, but it was a blast," you say, smiling at her.<<if $fullness < 2>> "And where did you get that popcorn?

Any hope of avoiding your fate soon fades. @@color:orange;You were overpowered.@@ You feel your hands press down into something warm and mushy, slowly sinking into the sludge as you start to exit out into her stomach.

You start to squirm in disgust as you're forced below the surface. For a brief moment, you're actually relieved at how quickly she's swallowing you down, as it isn't long before enough of you is forced into her belly for you to be able to get your head back above the disgusting tide of slop. Soon, you feel your feet slide into her mouth and her lips seal shut behind you. A few more swallows send the last of your body down into her stuffed gut. You squirm and shift against the disgusting pile of half-chewed pasta and partially digested bread you've been imprisoned with, attempting in vain to get into a position where you aren't partially submerged in the sludge. Her stomach roars around you as it eagerly churns away at the feast it's been given. Digestion is clearly already in full swing, but the one silver lining of the current circumstances is that the sheer volume of food seems to be diluting her stomach acid, at least for now. You gag as the acrid air inside her assaults your nose, the overwhelming scent of garlic mixing horribly with the already unpleasant odor of her digestive fluids. "This is disgusting, let me out!" you shout, pushing against the walls of her stomach. Izumi's only response is to let out a deep, rumbling belch. Shortly after, <<if _soda>>an icy splash of liquid douses your head, the bubbles from the soda tickling your skin<<else>>an icy splash of water douses your head<</if>>.

You still need something to eat yourself, after all, and you doubt she'd leave you alone if you tried to stay in the dining hall. "Hey!" she shouts after you. Luckily, it doesn't seem like she's giving chase. Once you're upstairs you risk stopping to look back, and sure enough she's still at the table you left her, having already resumed her meal after your interruption.

As if that weren't unpleasant enough, even on the parts of you that are above the tide you can feel occasional strands of spaghetti draped over or clinging to your skin.

The slick walls rub against you with each little bounce, gently caressing your body. She isn't moving very fast, and the slow cadence makes it feel like you're being rocked to sleep. The feeling isn't helped by the fact that she's constantly massaging her belly as she walks. "So... where are you going?" you ask. "We're going to one of my classes," she replies, giving you a pat on the back. "But don't you worry about that my little bunny, just relax and let yourself rest.~ You're safe and sound in there, I'll take care of you for a while." "Please don't call me that..." you sigh. You shift a little as she walks. Admittedly, her womb has already put you in a shockingly comfortable position, but you're worried about getting too stiff to ever put up much resistance if you stay in such a cramped pose without moving. To that end, it occurs to you that you should at least find out how dire your situation is, since it seems like she doesn't plan on releasing you any time soon. "What year are you in, um... Janet?" "Third year, I'm a junior," she answers, still constantly rubbing her belly. Then for a moment her hands stop and she squeezes in a little tighter, giving you a hug. "And it is Janet, thank you for remembering.~" "Right... So are you going to let me out after class then? The coast should be clear." "Just get comfortable, bunny," she giggles, gently patting your back. You sigh and your shoulders sag a little. That seemed like a pretty clear message that she plans to keep you in here for quite a while, and if she's a junior you don't like your odds of being able to force your way out of here. For that matter, even if she wasn't that skilled you aren't entirely sure how to approach an escape from inside a womb, you're in unfamiliar territory. So for now, you just settle into the walls and use her time in class to consider your options. You hear the click of a door and soon faint rumblings of conversation reach your ear. Janet drops down into a seat with a sigh and leans forward, wrapping her arms around you. To her credit, you don't feel any kind of contact from the desk she must be sitting at, not even a little bump as she sat. She's clearly used to handling herself with a belly this size. Without much else to do, you attempt to listen in on the class she has to try and at least get something out of this experience. Unfortunately, trying to make out anything the teacher is saying over the muffling of Janet's womb and the extra barrier of being stowed under her desk proves to be a useless effort. Unable to hear anything and with nowhere to go, not to mention Janet constantly rubbing her belly in at least some capacity, you find yourself zoning out. You're barely even aware of the time that passes as the rest of the class goes by. Janet yawns and gets to her feet, slowly making her way out of the classroom. You jolt to attention as she goes on the move, a little worried about the fact that you were actually starting to doze off inside her. She notices your reaction and gives a cheerful giggle in response. "Don't let me interrupt you, just let yourself drift off," she whispers. "You're out of class now, can you please get me out of here? <<if $metZoey>>Zoey<<else>>That girl you were worried about<</if>> has definitely moved on by now," you say, nudging the walls with one arm. "Oh I'm sure, but there's always danger here at this school," Janet replies. "But you don't have to worry about that as long as you're in there, so I'll keep you safe for as long as I can, and you can keep filling me up."<<if $sunnyPhone>> You want to protest, but that's about what you expected and you don't get the sense you'll be able to convince her to willingly let you out. An idea suddenly hits you--if she's a junior, maybe Sunny would be able to help get you out of this situation. You pull out your phone, your confines becoming a little less comfortable with the pink, fleshy walls illuminated by the screen, and send a text informing her about your predicament. It doesn't take long for her to get back, but the message isn't quite what you were hoping for: "//LMAO that was you in there? I just had class with her lol//" You quickly reply insisting that you need some assistance getting out of here. "//Ah don't worry so much girl. Janet's pretty much harmless, only ever eaten like 2 people iirc and never the ones she lugs around Shell have to let you out eventually, just enjoy the ride for now :P *she'll//" You sigh and lean back into the walls, your hope of rescue dashed. With that idea being a bust, you really only see one option for getting out of here.<</if>> "No, you can't just keep me in here!" you shout<<if !$sunnyPhone>> back<</if>>, starting to squirm. You don't really have much of a plan other than annoying her enough that she pushes you out herself--in a stomach you can force your predator to throw you up involuntarily, but you're not sure a womb would ever reject you in a similar fashion. Regardless, you don't really have any other options, so you push and shove against the walls as hard as you can in some attempt at freeing yourself. Janet comes to a stop as you start to struggle, sharply inhaling. Then with one good hit to the wall on your right side she... lets out a soft moan. While you're momentarily caught off guard, she squeezes you tight, clenching her muscles a little and wrapping her arms around her belly to put a stop to your movement. "Shhh... take it easy in there..." she says softly. "At least wait until I'm back in my room if you're going to be naughty." You don't have much choice in the matter as she continues on through the halls. Surprisingly, it still isn't really uncomfortable despite her keeping the pressure on you. You aren't being crushed, she's applying pressure in just the right spots to stop any significant movement, keeping you snugly held in place. Soon, you hear the sound of a door closing, then feel Janet sit down on what feels like a bed. "There we go, back home, safe and sound~" she says, finally easing up her grip on you. She goes back to massaging her belly. "Have you settled down now, my little bunny? Are you not comfortable?" "So you've done this to people a lot, huh?" you sigh, ignoring her questions. You don't want to admit that you actually are very comfortable right now. "Of course, I just love the feeling of being full like this," she says with a contented sigh, laying back on her bed. Your whole world shifts as she rolls onto her side, idly running one hand along the side of her belly. "It feels like I'm empty when there's no one inside me, I hate staying like that for long. And I wouldn't lie to you, bunny, Zoey really was on the hunt earlier and I did this to protect you." "Sure, but again, she's long gone by now." "She's still out there //somewhere//... Like I said, this keeps us both safe. No one can get you in there, and very few people are capable of still swallowing someone with a belly this big even if they could fit both of us in their stomach," she says, yawning at the end of her sentence. "And even then, it's really painful to do so no one would do it just out of the blue..." "Right..." you sigh. On some level you're impressed with her scheme for keeping herself pretty much permanently off the menu. "Now, go ahead and get nice and cozy..." she says with another yawn, snuggling up against her belly. "Nothing to worry about anymore my little bunny, let yourself get some rest..." You grunt in indignation--she's going to just fall asleep with you in here! Although, it could be a good opportunity to irritate her into letting you out, surely she wouldn't be able to nap with you squirming in here. You also noticed before that even though you're fully in her womb, any serious movement seemed to be... pleasurable to her. It may not be the most pleasant idea for //you//, but focusing your efforts on trying to get her off first instead of directly escaping might... loosen things up. Then again, it's not like you're in danger, and she has to //eventually// let you go, not to mention she's clearly much more experienced at keeping people in her womb than you are at getting out of one. Maybe it would be for the best to just wait it out... \ <<link "Attempt to escape">><<replace "#choice">><<set $janetWilling to false>><<set $tempJanet += 1>><<set $stamina to Math.clamp($stamina - 40, 0, $staminaMax)>>\ Refusing to let her keep you captive, you kick to life, starting to thrash and squirm against the slick flesh that encases you. Aiming to get her frustrated enough to release you, you try to target the spots that you can feel her resting against you from the outside. She lets out a little whimper and starts to gently massage her belly. "Hey, come on, settle down..." she coos. "It'll be okay, just relax... I'm trying to take a nap..." "Then let me out first!" you protest, continuing to struggle with all the strength you can muster. Then, just like in the hall, she squeezes you just hard enough to disrupt you. You keep trying to fight despite the resistance, but that just tires you out faster, and you're forced to give in long before you've managed to accomplish much of anything. "There you go, that's a good bunny...~" she says softly, sounding like she's already drifting off to sleep. You're not ready to admit defeat yet, but you're too exhausted to do much right now. Maybe you'll have more luck once she's asleep...

Then, you push your hands out against warm walls surrounding you and start to gently run your hands along them, occasionally pushing out even harder for a brief moment. While you aren't entirely sure what the best approach is here, your aim is to give her a sort of internal massage. You feel her shift a little around you and let out a little moan under her breath. "Mmmh... that's..." she starts to say, getting cut off by an involuntary squeak as you push out hard for a moment. "That's nice... but you don't have to..." Encouraged, you keep going, shifting your legs a little too to try and amplify the feeling you're creating. You feel her start to cuddle even closer to her belly, making all kinds of little noises that clearly show your efforts are paying off. You could swear that the flesh around you is even starting to get a little hotter. You keep going despite starting to feel exhausted, until finally you manage to get a much louder moan out of her. Unfortunately, almost immediately after she squeezes in on you like she did in the hall, putting a stop to your efforts. "That was... lovely, my little bunny~" she sighs, hugging her belly a little tighter. "But I would rather rest right now, you should too..." She keeps the pressure up to make sure you stop, and even if she didn't you don't really have the energy to do much else right now. So you let yourself rest for now, hoping she'll still be at least a little worked up by the time you can try again. [[Catch your breath->Unbirthed By Janet- Evening]]\ <</replace>> <</link>> <<link "Just relax and play along">><<replace "#choice">>\ You sigh and let yourself relax, giving no resistance to the warm flesh wrapped around you.

<<Time 16.75>><<set $stamina to Math.clamp($stamina + 30, 0, $staminaMax)>>\ "...eah I got a freshman this morning..." "Thank god, I've spent more than enough time in there this week..." You can faintly hear two voices chatting nearby, though they sound very muffled. You blink your eyes and start to stretch out, before realizing that you're in total darkness and surrounded by fleshy walls. For a brief moment you panic and lash out with your arms, but then you wake up enough to remember your current situation. You blush a little in the darkness of Janet's womb, embarrassed that you not only managed to fall asleep, but slept soundly in here. "Oh! Sorry bunny, I didn't mean to wake you, you can go back to resting," Janet coos, gently running a hand up and down her belly. You can feel that she's sitting down right now, you probably weren't asleep much longer than she was. "Who else is here? I heard a second voice." "That's my roommate, Martha!" Janet replies. "Hey," the other voice says with a sigh. "Can you make her get me out of here?" you say. "Pfft, no," Martha replies. "Only way I could get her to do that is if I took your place, which ain't happening. She's relentless about this." "Aw, c'mon, I know you like it in there. You're my favorite bunny.~" "I..! It's not the worst, but I don't want to spend half of the first week in there. I'm already in some trouble from missing my full first two days of classes thanks to you..." Martha grumbles. "Not to mention I didn't get to do anything on my first massacre on the other side... So yeah, sorry whoever you are, you're stuck for a while. Honestly you should just take her advice and sleep through this, it is a pretty comfortable place for it ." "Fair enough, I guess..." you sigh. "You ready to eat? My Thursday schedule blows and I didn't have time for lunch," Martha asks. "Sure! I dozed off after class thanks to my little bunny here," Janet replies, patting her belly, "so I haven't eaten since breakfast either." Janet carefully gets to her feet, cradling her belly from above and below to stop you from getting jostled too much. Then she goes on the move, the two of them heading out of their dorm to go to dinner. You're still a little drowzy<<if !$janetWilling>>, not feeling like you're ready to make another push yet<<else>>, almost starting to fall asleep again from the rocking of her footsteps<</if>>. <<if $day4MinaTrainingOffer>>A sense of dread washes over you as the reality that it's almost dinner time already--you slept right through the time you'd agreed to meet with Mina while you were stuck in here.

And from what Martha said, you could be stuck here for //days// if Janet doesn't find someone to replace you...<</if>> You start to hear some faint, muffled chatter as they pass into the dining hall. The two of them get some food, then find a place to sit. Once again, Janet is careful to never bump her belly into the table at all as she takes her seat. "So, what classes did you have today?" Martha asks. "Just Expansion Theory," Janet replies with a yawn, giving her belly an idle pat. "I swear, if you start lugging //two// people around all day..." "Huh? But I thought you and Jas wanted to--" "SHHH! Don't bring that up in front of... uh... your 'bunny'," Martha quickly blurts out. "And that's a short, one time thing, I meant doing //this// but with more than one person..." "Oh, no, I think I'd get too exhausted carrying around more than one full time... Feels nice though..." Their conversation carries on as they eat, just mundane talk between friends that doesn't interest you much. Even if you wanted to, the sensation of Janet eating is very distracting. You can hear her stomach groaning, and the sounds of her chewing and swallowing every bite. Then as digestion kicks in just on the other side of the fleshy wall you're facing, various groaning and burbling noises fill the air. It's a little disconcerting. But before long, the two finish their meal and start to head back to their dorm. <<if $janetWilling>>While you were content to play along so far, the sounds of digestion, and now the extra, subtle sloshing sound from her meal being jostled with her footsteps, are starting to put you on edge.

Maybe it might be better to try and get out of here on your own...<<else>>The subtle sloshing sound you can hear from her meal being jostled with every footstep is putting you even more on edge now. It occurs to you a little too late that interrupting her meal could have been a good strategy for annoying her into letting you go, but struggling while she's on the go might be even more successful. Janet still clearly has no intentions of releasing you any time soon, and according to Martha she's entirely willing to make this a multi-day affair.

The first plan that pops into your mind is that you might be able to knock her over if you struggle while she's on the move. Falling on a full belly might hurt enough that she'll want to be done with you, or at the very least would serve as some kind of payback for kidnapping you like this. With your goal in mind, you thrash from side to side, throwing your full weight against each side before abruptly shoving against the other. "Hey, what..?" Janet says, stumbling a little and coming to a stop. She caresses the sides of her belly. "Take it easy in there!" You stop for a moment, waiting for her to move again. As soon as she seems content that you listened to her, she gives you an appreciative pat, then starts to walk again. You shove forward as hard as you can right away. She stumbles and nearly catches herself, but you pull back and push again before she can fully regain her balance. The flaw in your plan quickly becomes clear as she crashes onto the floor. You both cry out in pain as she slams onto the ground, your fleshy confines becoming painfully tight for the first time as her full bodyweight presses down on you. Janet groans as she rolls off of her belly and slowly starts to get up. @@color:orange;You weren't able to get out.@@ "Why..? she whimpers. "Because you won't let me out, I don't want to be stuck inside of you all day!" you shout. "You okay?" Martha asks. "Yeah, thanks..." Janet replies. She wraps her arms around her belly and brings you into a firm embrace. "Are you okay in there? Even if you probably deserved it for being such a naughty bunny, I bet that hurt you too..." "...I'm fine..." you grumble. "This doesn't have to be unpleasant, just try to relax..." Janet says, not relaxing her grip on you until she's in her dorm and comfortably seated on her bed. Feeling sore from the impact, and with your only current plan of escape thwarted, you decide to take her advice for now.

You push your arms out into the warm flesh around you and start to rub your hands in little circles, slowly widening your spiral and increasing the force you're pushing with at the same time, then easing back to the intensity you started at in the opposite direction. It's a little bit of a shot in the dark, but the massage seems to be doing the trick. "MMh... what are you doing in there..?" Janet says in a breathy voice. She starts to match your motions from the outside for a little while, then makes a sound like a whimper and abruptly stops, like she suddenly remembered that she's out in public at the moment. "H-Hold on for a minute bunny, we can... hahn..." "Oh, she worked out the way to get out pretty quick, huh?" you hear Martha say, sounding a little amused. "I was too embarrassed to try that the first time you got me." "Don't... don't give her ideas..." Janet says, followed by another moan under her breath. "Ah, you missed your chance in there anyways," Martha says, tapping you through Janet's belly. "We're back at the dorm already, should have gotten her worked up in the middle of the dining hall if you wanted her to get you out instead of just enjoying it." As she says that, you hear the muffled sound of a door opening. Then shortly after, Janet drops back onto her bed, slightly panting. You're starting to tire out, the motions you settled on more draining than you would have thought, but despite that and Martha's warning you keep pushing. You start to add an extra flourish of stopping, then abruptly pushing back out hard every time you're about to change directions. That seems to really get her. Her moans grow louder, while the walls around you start to get warmer and wetter under your efforts. But, you're starting to feel absolutely exhausted. You give one last, hard push before giving up, getting a final, gasping moan out of Janet. "Mmmh... thank you, my precious little bunny..." she purrs after it's clear you're done, sitting up to cradle her belly. There's a tiny hint of disappointment in her voice--you get the feeling she was right on the edge when you gave up. "But you don't have to do anything for me, go ahead and rest..." You sigh, panting a little. As much as you'd like to ignore her advice, you don't have the energy to do much more. But maybe now, once your strength is back, you'll have a chance at finishing her off.

<<Time 20>>Janet spends the evening relaxing in her dorm, not moving from her spot on the bed for hours. She moves her hands every now and then, but always seems to be cradling her belly. You almost start to doze off, feeling very comfortable in the warm caress of her womb and not interested in any of the occasional bits of conversation between the two girls. After a while, Janet yawns and pushes herself up onto her feet. "I'm going to hop in the shower, I'm about ready to turn in for the night..." Janet says with another yawn. "Go ahead," Martha replies. "Wait, what? Turn in..? How late is it already?" you say. "A little after eight," Martha answers. "Another thing about Janet is that she spends more time asleep than awake, this is actually almost late for her to be going to bed." "What the hell... eight already..?" you mumble, more to yourself than anything. You felt like an hour had passed at most since they ate, you can't believe how quickly the day has slipped past you in here. "Don't worry, I'll stop moving around soon, then you can rest nice and easy~" Janet coos, gently running her hands over her belly. "Why not just let me out now if you're going to bed?" you say<<if !$janetWilling>>, somewhat panicked. You absolutely do not want to spend the night trapped inside of her<</if>>. "Because sleeping with my little bunny is the best part, silly," Janet says. You hear a door click shut somewhere behind you. "It's so comfortable, for both of us..." You hear the whine and rumble of her shower turning on, then feel her shifting in some odd ways. You're confused at first, but after she steps into the shower and you feel the water tapping against your back, you realize that she must have been disrobing. She starts to hum to herself as she washes off, clearly enjoying the warm stream of water. She seems to give special attention to her belly, very gently working her hands over every inch of it. But as you feel yourself starting to relax under the massage, it occurs to you that this is very likely your last chance to escape. And the odds you could actually succeed are likely better than they've been all day, given her lack of clothing. \ <<link "Attempt to escape">> <<set $janetWilling to false>> <<set $stamina to Math.clamp($stamina - 40, -1, $staminaMax)>> <<set _roll to random(1,20)>> <<if ((_roll + $resilience) > (22 - $tempJanet)) or ($difficulty is "easy")>> <<goto [[Unbirthed By Janet- Night: Escape]]>> <<else>> <<replace "#choice">><<set $tempJanet += 1>>\ Invigorated by that realization, you start to thrash against the walls of her womb. Janet lets out a little gasp and stops her massage. You keep up the struggle, having a more clear plan this time. You pay careful attention to the feeling of the walls as you push your hands against them, slowly turning yourself around as you probe at them. If this is your last chance, you figure you might as well at least attempt to brute force your way out. "Ohh..." Janet moans. You feel her lean back against the wall. "Okay little bunny, we can--//mmh//--play a little before bed if you want.~" You can feel a little movement above you, but she doesn't make any attempt to hinder your movement<<if $tempJanet > 0>>, fully playing along with your movement this time<</if>>.

Janet squeals as you abruptly shove one of your hands through, forcing your way back down into her vagina. You quickly follow it up with the other. The walls of the tight tunnel tremble around your arms, occasionally clamping down with intense pressure. Janet shifts her position a little to brace herself better, you can feel yourself getting lightly jostled as her legs tremble. "O-Oh no... you don't..." she mumbles, panting. The tight passage squeezes in hard around your arms, waves of tighter pressure rolling through the walls to try and drag you back to her womb. You try to fight back, planting your feet as firmly as you can to get some leverage as you try to continue your dive through her cervix. "Let... me... go!" you grunt, pushing with all your might. Slowly but surely your arms inch their way towards freedom, until you feel your fingers breach through her folds and into the humid air of the shower. Encouraged, you manage to keep it up until your hands are completely out. However, before you're able to do anything with them, Janet reaches down and claps her own hands over yours. She slides down the wall into a sitting position, using her grip and inner muscles to keep you locked into place. Then she takes a deep breath and pushes down on your hands, her vaginal muscles dragging you back toward her womb even harder than before, this time keeping up a constant pressure. It's too much for you to resist, especially with how lubricated the walls are at this point. @@color:orange;You weren't able to get out.@@ Janet pants and moans as you're forced back up into the prison of her womb, clearly enjoying the sensations. You can feel her still pleasuring herself with her hands even as your arms become out of reach, her moans starting to grow louder. Then, just as your fingertips slide back into her womb, sealing you inside, she lets out a desparate, unrestrained moan that quickly chains into a stream of erotic noises. The walls twitch and contract around you with erratic pressure as her climax rocks through her body. "Hahh... hah... there..." Janet pants, finally coming down from the pleasure. She wraps her arms and legs around her belly, still sitting on the floor of the shower. "Back where you belong...~" Too tired to continue, and a little embarrassed by what just went down, you give up, resigning yourself to having to spend the night inside of her. She slowly gets back to her feet, washing off for a little longer before finally stepping out of the shower. After drying off, she drops onto her bed with a contented sigh. "Sweet dreams, my little bunny~" she whispers, squeezing you slightly tighter for just a moment. [[Go to sleep->September 5th to 6th]]\ <</replace>><</if>><</link>> <<link "Just accept the situation and spend the night in her">><<replace "#choice">>\ You just sigh and lean back into her massage, accepting the situation you've ended up in. <<if $janetWilling>>At this point, you're honestly starting to enjoy your stay.<<else>>You've already gone this long, might as well just ride things out until she's had her fun.<</if>> Janet seems satisfied as you relax, giggling to herself and gently hugging her belly. You quickly lose track of time under the soothing sensations of her shower. Janet really takes her time, working her hands in deep as she enjoys the feeling of the warm water washing over her bloated belly. Between her humming, the massage, and the pleasant tapping against your back from the stream of water, you start to doze off already. You're so entranced that you were barely aware that she'd even stepped out of the shower by the time you feel her drop back onto her bed. She lays down on her side, wrapping herself around her belly in a full-bodied hug just like earlier. She shifts a little and snuggles even closer, then finally seems to settle on a comfortable position. "Sweet dreams, my little bunny~" she whispers, squeezing you slightly tighter for just a moment. <<if $janetWilling>>"Good night," you say with a yawn, fully accepting your situation. The instant you close your eyes, you feel yourself starting to drift off to sleep.<<else>>You sigh, embarrassed and a little frustrated by your situation.

<<set $outfitState to "drenched">><<unset $tempJanet>><<set $totalEscaped += 1>>Refusing to let this go on any longer, you start to thrash wildly inside of her. The first plan that pops into your mind is that you might be able to knock her over if you struggle while she's on the move. Falling on a full belly might hurt enough that she'll want to be done with you, or at the very least would serve as some kind of payback for kidnapping you like this. With your goal in mind, you thrash from side to side, throwing your full weight against each side before abruptly shoving against the other. "Hey, what..?" Janet says, stumbling a little and coming to a stop. She caresses the sides of her belly. "Take it easy in there!" You stop for a moment, waiting for her to move again. As soon as she seems content that you listened to her, she gives you an appreciative pat, then starts to walk again. You shove forward as hard as you can right away. She stumbles and nearly catches herself, but you pull back and push again before she can fully regain her balance. The flaw in your plan quickly becomes clear as she crashes onto the floor. You both cry out in pain as she slams onto the ground, your fleshy confines becoming painfully tight for the first time as her full bodyweight presses down on you. Janet gasps and seems to freeze. As the flash of pain passes, you realize that your shins are being squeezed by something much tighter. Somehow, someway, the impact managed to push your legs back through her cervix. @@color:yellowgreen;You managed to escape!@@ You take advantage of her similar shock at the turn of events, bracing your upper body against the walls and forcing your legs out as hard as you can. She gasps again and lets out a very distressed moan as your feet rush towards freedom. Before you can make it out, she starts to put up some resistance, her vagina clamping down on your calves. Determined to get out of this, you keep pushing as hard as you can, slowly inching your way toward freedom. Your excitement turns to dread as your toes start to meet some strange resistance, pressing against some kind of fabric. Of course, she still has her underwear on! As pathetic as it is to be stopped by just a tiny piece of clothing, with her current position and the poor leverage you have they're probably a bigger obstacle than her muscles. In your brief panic, she manages to pull you back in quite a bit, but you refuse to give up completely. "Shit, that really worked?" you faintly hear Martha say, though it's difficult to hear her over Janet's moaning. "Mmh..! M-Martha!" Janet moans. The two of you are in a stalemate, every time you gain a little ground again she manages to pull you back not long after. You're starting to blush from all the sounds she's making. "What do you want //me// to do? A-And don't just moan my name like that, we're in public!" Martha says "Just let her out!" "I can geeeHT!.. get her back in..." "Yeah I'm sure, but you're gonna cum your brains out right here in the hall before that with all the back and forth, idiot!" Martha says. "There's no one else around yet, just push her out before this gets even more embarrassing! Ugh, here..." Janet yelps and abruptly gives up on holding you back. Your feet surge forward, and this time push right through into open air. You're not sure what happened, but you don't waste the opportunity, putting everything you can into pushing the rest of your body out. Bit by bit, your body slides out of the increasingly slick tunnel of flesh, going smoothly up until most of your upper body has passed back into her vagina. It's much harder to get traction with your legs, especially with how slippery you are after your stay inside her, but eventually you're able to wriggle the rest of your body out. Your head slides back out with an uncomfortable //*pop*//, your arms quickly following as you fall backward. Disoriented, you struggle onto your feet, almost falling over from the slick fluid coating your entire body. Janet is laying on the ground panting, falling over onto her side shortly after your escape, her panties resting halfway down her legs. A girl, who you assume is Martha, is standing over her with an exhasperated look on her face. She glances over at you and motions for you to get out of here. "...you're replacing her for that, meanie..." Janet mumbles after she's calmed down a little. "Yeah, I figured..." Martha sighs. You don't stick around for any more of their conversation, taking off down the hall to get back to the safety of your dorm. [[Go get cleaned up->Janet- Evening: Recovery]]

<<Time 17.25>>You rush back to your dorm and hurry inside, finding it empty, and head straight for the bathroom so you can get yourself cleaned up. After that ordeal, you feel like you need a shower for more reasons than just getting clean, still a little bewildered by the whole experience. The uncomfortable realization strikes you that you'd gotten so used to hearing Janet's heartbeat that the total silence of the room is now oddly frightening. Luckily, the feeling passes as the shower rumbles to life, and you quickly strip off your soiled clothes and step in. You let the water wash everything away, staying under the pleasant stream of warmth for much longer than was probably necessary to ensure you don't spend the rest of the day smelling like the inside of a womb. After a while though, your stomach whines and you start to realize that you're absolutely starving. Thanks to your stay in Janet, you haven't eaten anything since breakfast. So, you finally step out of the shower and get changed, immediately heading out to get dinner, though being sure to take a route that wouldn't risk bringing you back near Janet and Martha.<<set $outfitState to "normal">> [[Go to dinner->September 5th- Dinner]]

Invigorated by that realization, you start to thrash against the walls of her womb. Janet lets out a little gasp and stops her massage. You keep up the struggle, having a more clear plan this time. You pay careful attention to the feeling of the walls as you push your hands against them, slowly turning yourself around as you probe at them. If this is your last chance, you figure you might as well at least attempt to brute force your way out. "Ohh..." Janet moans. You feel her lean back against the wall. "Okay little bunny, we can--//mmh//--play a little before bed if you want.~" You can feel a little movement above you, but she doesn't make any attempt to hinder your movement<<if $tempJanet > 0>>, fully playing along with your movement this time<</if>>.

Encouraged, you manage to keep it up until your hands are completely out. Thinking fast to take advantage of your taste of freedom, you start to wriggle your fingers, awkwardly teasing her folds as best you can. With how overwhelmed with arousal she already was, that tiny extra layer of pleasure is too much for her to handle. She cries out and falls back onto the ground, moaning and clutching her belly. Any resistance she was giving to your escape disappears and you're able to push yourself through the slick passage with ease. As soon as your hands are far enough out to touch down on the wet tiles of the shower floor, you start to use them as extra leverage, crawling out from between her legs while your legs continue to push off of her womb. <<if $breastSize > 34>>For a brief moment, your breasts cause you to get stuck, but with a strong push you're able to squeeze them down into the uncomortably tight passage out of her womb.

Every inch of your body--clothing, skin, hair--is absolutely drenched even before the water of the shower does much. You carefully get up to your feet, turning back to look at the scene of your escape. Janet is splayed out on the ground, completely naked and slouched back against the wall with her legs spread wide. She's panting heavily, a vacant look of bliss on the chubby girl's face. If your cheeks weren't already red from going through your escape, you're definitely blushing after seeing the state you left her in. You stumble out of the shower, eager to finally get away from this whole situation. Throwing open the door to the bathroom, you spot what must be Martha sitting on one of the beds in the room. She glances over at you, completely unphased. "She //will// try to put you back in if you stick around, you know," she says, then turns her attention back to her phone with a sigh, as if this were a completely normal occurance. You don't have to be told twice, hurrying out into the hall without a word. <<set $outfitState to "drenched">><<unset $tempJanet>><<set $totalEscaped += 1>>[[Hurry back to your dorm->Janet- Night: Recovery]]

<<Time 21>>You rush through the halls of Lampton and back over the bridge toward your dorm. Luckily, the campus is pretty quiet at this hour and you don't run into anyone else. When you arrive at your door you unlock it and step inside as quickly as you can, only to freeze as you spot Emma staring at you. "Oh $name! Thank... goodness..." she says, cocking her head a little. "...Hi..." you say, closing the door and hurrying into the room to grab a change of clothes. Since it's this late, you opt for something comfortable to use as pajamas. "Where have you been? That doesn't look like... And why do you smell... um..." Emma says, starting to blush. She glances away before finishing. "...sour..?" "It's a long story," you say with a sigh. "I've gotta shower." "Yeah, of course," she replies. You head into the bathroom, eager to get washed off. After the ordeal you've been through, you feel like you need a shower for more reasons than just getting clean. The uncomfortable realization strikes you that you'd gotten so used to hearing Janet's heartbeat that the total silence of the room is now oddly frightening. Luckily, the feeling passes as the shower rumbles to life, and you quickly strip off your soiled clothes and step in. You take your time washing off since you don't have anything else to do tonight, enjoying the soothing feeling of the water over your skin. You go extra heavy on the soap to make sure you definitely get rid of any residual scent left behind. The water is starting to get cold and your fingers are pruning by the time you finally decide to step out and get changed. You dry yourself off, don your clothes, and step back into the room with a contented sigh, feeling much better now that you've finally put the experience behind you. "So... are you okay?" Emma asks<<if $emmaRel > 1>>, giving you a worried look<</if>>. "Yeah, I'm fine," you reply, falling back onto your bed. "I'd rather not talk about it..." "Fair enough," Emma says with a sympathetic smile. "<<if $emmaTrainForZoey > 0>>We'll have to do our escape training another night, it seems like you've been through enough for one day... <</if>>I hope you left me at least a little warm water, I think I'm gonna hop in the shower for the night." You just sink back into your bed as she takes her turn in the bathroom, enjoying the feeling of being able to stretch out your limbs again. Your stomach growls, reminding you that you haven't eaten anything since breakfast thanks to Janet. But there's not much you can do about that now, and you can can feel your eyes starting to droop. So when you hear the roar of the shower stop and Emma steps back out into the room, you head right into the bathroom behind her. [[Get ready for bed->September 5th- End of Day]]

@@color:rebeccapurple;''September 6th''@@ ---- You grumble, feeling very uncomfortable all of a sudden after a peaceful sleep. Then, noticing that what's surrounding you isn't a blanket, but the slick walls of someone's insides, you jolt awake and start to push out. After another moment it comes back to you that you're currently inside Janet's womb, having spent the night stuck inside of her. But the pressure seems far more intense than you remember<<if !$janetWilling>>, and you've already spent far more time than you'd like in here<</if>>, so this recollection does nothing to curb your struggling. "Mmh..!" you faintly hear Janet mumble, seeming to jump a little from one of your blows. "Oh..." You hear the creaking of a bed beneath you as the pressure quickly eases off of you. "Shhshhshh... it's okay, sorry about that my little bunny..." Janet coos, sounding half asleep. You can feel her gently rubbing a hand along the side of her belly. "It looks like I rolled over on top of you in my sleep..." "Is it... morning..?" you grumble, shifting a little against the walls still to try and ease the stiffness in your body. "Yeah..." Janet sighs. You feel her very slowly push herself up into a sitting position. "Unfortunately..." "Does that mean you're going to let me out?" "Oh, as much as I'd love to keep you safe a little longer... Yes, it does actually," she says with another sigh. "I have a lab in my class this morning, and the professor already specifically warned me not to show up like this..." "<<if $janetWilling>>It's about time...<<else>>Oh thank god...<</if>>" you say, breathing a sigh of relief. "But we still have a little longer together~" she says, giving you a pat on the back through her gut. "Sit tight while I get ready for the day..." You just sigh, easing back into the walls of her womb until she's ready to release you. There's some subtle movement as she stretches her arms, still waking up, then she spends a little time just sitting on her bed idly rubbing her belly. Eventually, she stands up, shaking your confines as she pushes herself off the bed. She gives her belly another pat, then starts to walk. You hear a door close, then soon after your world starts to shift as she bends over. After some odd movement, she stands back up straight and steps forward. With a faint screeching sound, tiny points of pressure start to poke in from all over, and you realize that she just disrobed and stepped into the shower. You blush a little as she starts to massage her belly while she gets clean. She's clearly working her hands deeper than she needed to. Eventually, the patter of water from the showerhead fades and Janet sighs. She gives the side of her belly two quick pats to get your attention. "Okay, it's time for you to come back into the world, little bunny," she says, the disappointment in her voice clear. "Finally..." you grumble. "Brace yourself..." she says, her voice a little strained as she wraps her arms around the lower end of her belly. You can already feel the walls tightening around you. A very strange sensation rocks through the walls, like you're being bounced up and down by her muscles. Janet's arms move a bit lower and she whimpers a little. Then, her womb squeezes much tighter and you immediately feel your legs push through into the slick passage below. Janet gasps as you're quickly forced back down through her vagina, sliding out from between her legs and onto floor of her shower. Your escape slows towards the end, nearly coming to a stop with just your head and shoulders still inside of her, but with a grunt from Janet one last wave of pressure pushes you out. "There..." she says, panting. You struggle to push yourself up, finding your entire body is extremely stiff from the extended stay inside of her. But after a moment, you adjust enough to get back on your feet. You turn to Janet, though quickly turn away again when you find her not only still naked and soaked from her shower, but very flush from the sensation of your escape. "Um, feel free to wash off here if you want," she says, starting to dry herself off. "And of course you're welcome to come back after my class is over if you'd like~" she adds. "Yeah no thanks, I think I'm good..." you reply. Now that you've adjusted better to being outside of her womb, you brush past her and head out of the bathroom. It looks like her roommate is already out for the day. As much as you'd rather not be seen while drenched in her juices like this, you don't have a change of clothes with you and don't particularly want to streak through the halls either, so you head out to return to your own dorm before showering off.

"Oh absolutely, I'd love to set loose a freshman that can already use her back door on your class," she says with a grin, crudely shoving a finger through the hole in her bagel. "But I'm kinda busy today, and I've got plans this weekend already, so you'll have to survive a bit longer before we get started." "Fair enough, no rush," you say, shifting in your seat a little.

As you approach, you notice that she doesn't actually have any food, just a glass of orange juice, and she's got her attention pretty firmly on the cafe.<<if !$metCharlotte>> You glance over to it yourself out of curiousity, having mostly forgotten about it after the tour. It's like a mini convenience store--a few shelves and refrigerators filled with snack food and drinks lining the cramped walls, and in the middle of the floor is an island with a few miscellaneous non-food supplies, like tissues and notebooks.<</if>> "Hey Beli!" you say as you head to an open seat.

"Cool, cool..." she says, still seeming more focused on the cafe than you. "Are you not eating breakfast?" you ask. "Ha! Not yet, bagel day is ass," she says. She sighs and takes her legs off the table, shifting her position to lean over it instead. "I'm waiting for my chance to get some of the good stuff." You glance over at the cafe. "You mean from there? I'm pretty sure they're open already." "Yeah, if you want to //pay// for it," she says with a laugh. "They've got the same girl working the early shift as last year, and I know she always goes on break around nine. Sometimes it's like a full fifteen minutes without anyone watching the place since she's the only one on duty. She definitely doesn't give much of a shit, haha! I'm just gonna snag some stuff to go when she heads into the back room." "Oh, gotcha," you say, giving a slightly nervous glance over at the cafe again.

"Great!" you reply with a smile. You quickly take off your shirt<<if $outfit is "uniform">> and jacket<</if>>, then pull down your <<if $outfit != "normal">>skirt and step out of it<<else>>shorts and step out of them<</if>>.

The slick flesh ripples around you, dragging you deeper into your roommate as she uses her hands to guide you smoothly into her mouth. <<if $outfit is "underwear">>As she moves down your body, her tongue briefly slides into your exposed cleavage, sending a tingle down your spine.

You feel her drop back onto her bed, resting a hand on the top of her belly. "Are you okay in there?" she asks, tapping the side of her gut with her other hand. "Yep, the antacid seems to be working fine," you say, settling into the walls of her stomach.

You gonna spill about whatever crazy party kept you out last night?" "Well, it was definitely crazy, but not really in a good way..." you say. You give her a brief explanation of the upperclassmen party you were forced into. She seems particularly worried when you bring up Zoey's involvement. "Oh my god, that's awful! I'm so sorry you had to go through that $name," she says.<<if $emmaRel > 2>> "And here I spent the day thinking you were living it up last night without inviting me..."<</if>> After explaining the situation out loud and seeing her reaction to your mention of Zoey, you start to think more about just how dangerous it is to have someone like that out to get you.

"I've kinda been thinking. She's //really// dangerous and clearly has it out for us since we managed to escape, it's really worrying she was able to recognize me so easily. How would you feel about training outside of class together? Try and prepare ourselves a little better for if we're unlucky enough to run into her again." Emma stops and fidgets in place a little. "Train? You mean, like..." "Like I swallow you for a while, and you swallow me for a while, so we can practice escaping from a stomach." "That's what I thought..." she says. "But that would be dangerous, we don't have the antacids like in class." "I know, but I trust you to let me out before things get too bad, if you trust me to do the same," you say. "I..." Emma trails off and gets lost in thought for a moment, nodding her head to the side a few times. "...okay. It's a little scary, but that is a good idea, and I trust you." "Great! I'm glad," you say with a smile. "Later tonight then?" "Um, how about tomorrow night instead?" she says. "I'd rather not be anxious about this all through club..."

Though you try your best, you quickly run out of steam, your efforts too weak to put up any real fight. It isn't long before you hear the beeping of the alarm Emma set. <</if>>"Ah, looks like it's been thirty minutes! My phone is going off," Emma says. <<if $emmaRel > 3>>You feel her giggling, then she gives your head a gentle poke. "Looks like 'miss I only eat people once in a blue moon' was too much for you after all.~"<<else>> "<<if $progress > 1>>You did pretty good though $name, I'm definitely feeling kind of nausious!<<else>>We, um, might want to do more focused training next time if that was the best you could do...<</if>> Anyways, I'll get you out now!"<</if>> <<if $emmaRel > 3>>"I was... going easy on you!" you say with a laugh. "It doesn't count." "Uh-huh," Emma chuckles. She gives you a pat on the back. "Whatever you say $name.~"<<else>>"Thanks..." you say with a sigh.<</if>> You can feel Emma moving around for a little bit, getting into a good position. Eventually she comes to a stop with one arm loosely wrapped around her belly. "Okay, brace yourself in there! This might be a bit rough..." You hear Emma gag, then shortly after the walls of her stomach crash in around you. With some extra assistance from her arm, you're quickly pushed up into her esophagus. It doesn't take long before you slide back passed her lips and out into the cool air of the room. You find that you're in the shower when you sit up, covered in digestive fluids from your trip into your roommate. "There..." Emma says with a cough. You look up at her and notice that she has her back turned to you. "Go ahead and shower off, I'll meet you back in the room!" she says, hurrying out of the bathroom and closing the door.\ <<else>>\ As you struggle, the walls of Emma's stomach start to tremble and you can hear her whimpering. Then with one last kick, she gasps and the flesh surrounding you crashes in hard. You feel some odd movement from Emma as her stomach squeezes you tight, then, finally, you feel your head start to push up into her throat. It seems like she tries to hold you down for a moment, but then any resistance disappears and you're sent racing back out of her mouth and into the cool air of the room. "Good... job..." Emma says, coughing a little. You get up from the ground, finding that she spit you out right into the shower. Your <<if $outfit is "underwear">>body is<<else>>clothes are<</if>> slick from your trip inside of her, but nothing even close to what an active stomach would have done. Still, you find that Emma has her back turned when you look over at her. "Go ahead and shower off, I'll meet you back in the room!" she says, hurrying out of the bathroom and closing the door.\ <</if>> Taking her advice, you peel off your <<if $outfit is "underwear">>underwear<<else>>clothes<</if>> and turn on the shower, feeling the refreshing stream of water wash over you. With her stomach neutralized, the damge from your time inside of her isn't too bad, so it doesn't take too long before you feel back to normal. You just rinse off, lather yourself with enough soap to take care of any lingering smell, then step out to dry off.<<set $outfit to "normal">> You smile as you move out into the main bathroom, finding that Emma not only set out a towel for you, but also brought in some clean clothes. She also seems to have preemptively brought in a change of clothes for herself. You quickly get changed and head back into the room to continue your training. <<if $emmaRel > 4>>However, you freeze in the doorway when you look over at Emma's bed. She's laying back on her bed with her attention on her phone, facing your direction with one leg bent and the other laying flat, outstretched to the side. What catches your attention is that she's in just her underwear: a simple black and blue bra with matching panties. "Oh, done already?" she says, putting down her phone and sitting up. She gives you a teasing smirk as she shifts to the edge of her bed. "Is something wrong?" "No, no, just, uh, didn't expect..." you say, stumbling over your words as you move out into the room. She looks down and pretends like she'd forgotten what she was wearing. "Oh right! Well I thought it was a good idea when you did it, I hope you don't mind," she says with a little laugh, grabbing the remaining antacid off of her bedside table. "Here." "Thanks," you say, taking the antacid from her and quickly swallowing it. "And of course, it's no problem." You give her a mischevious smile, your heartbeat starting to race. "Come to think of it actually, there's no reason to risk stretching out this shirt when I swallow you." Nervous, but emboldened by how she's acting, you grab the bottom edge of your shirt and quickly pull it off. Emma blushes, and you catch her glancing down at your chest for a moment. "Of course, that makes sense," she says, a little less confidence in her voice than when she was teasing you. And as she steps closer to prepare to get started, what's left of it completely melts away. "Um, so, I guess it's my turn..." "Yep, are you sure you're ready?" you say, patting your exposed stomach. "It's alright if you want to back out now, I don't want you to be uncomfortable." "No, no! I agreed to this and it is a good idea to get some extra practice in if we've got a crazy junior after us..." she says. "I'll be okay, just, um..." she trails off and glances down at herself, "...get the swallowing part over quickly. And let me out right into the shower after like I did with you! I don't want to be all gross and slimy for a second longer than I need to be," she says with a nervous laugh. "Got it," you say with a nod. You put your hands on her shoulders, blushing a little. "Are you ready?" Her only audible response is something like a whimper, but she gives you a nod. You start to lean in and she closes her eyes before you've even started. Opening your mouth wide, you pull her head into yours, leaving just the orange tips of her hair sticking out from your lips. Then, you begin to swallow. She lets herself go limp as she starts to slide down your throat. You work your way over her shoulders, doing your best to move quickly as she requested. Her chest is larger than you realized and it takes you a moment to squeeze everything into your mouth, but soon you're gliding down her midriff, your tongue getting a taste of her smooth, tanned skin. You feel her shiver as you grap her hips to lift her into a better position. Soon, her bare legs are sliding down your throat as the rest of her curls up into your belly, one last swallow sealing your roommate away inside of you.<<else>>\ "Alright, you ready to switch things around?" you say, walking over to where Emma's sitting on her bed. "Oh, um, yeah..." she says, clearly nervous as she gets up. "That was quick, I thought I'd have longer to get ready..." "Hey, a real predator isn't going to wait until you're ready, maybe it's better this way!" "True..." She grabs the remaining antacid off her bedside table and hands it to you. "Here. Just be gentle getting me down please... And let me out right into the shower after like I did with you! I don't want to be all gross and slimy for a second longer than I need to be." "Of course," you say, quickly swallowing the tablet. "I'm going to get started, okay?" you tell her, stepping a little closer and putting your hands on her shoulders. Her only audible response is something like a whimper, but she gives you a nod. You start to lean in and she closes her eyes before you've even started. Opening your mouth wide, you pull her head into yours, leaving just the orange tips of her hair sticking out from your lips. Then, you begin to swallow. As she requested, you take things slow so that you can make sure she's as comfortable as you can manage. She lets herself go limp as you drag her body into yours, her shoulders, then her chest soon sliding past your lips. You grab her hips and gently lift her up to maintain a better angle of entry, blushing as you struggle a little to get her rear in. But, soon enough you're gliding down her thighs, and with just a few more swallows the last of her is squeezed down into your throat, on it's way to join the rest of her in your stomach.\ <</if>> "//*Urrrp*// There, hope the entry wasn't too bad," you say, sitting down on your bed as the last of her gets squeezed into your bulging gut. You gently rub one hand over the bulge she's making and give it a pat. "Everything okay in there?" "Yeah, I'm fine," she says, shifting around a bit. "Set a timer for thirty minutes, okay? I'm gonna start struggling so... get ready." "Do your worst," you say with laugh. True to her word, Emma soon kicks to life inside of you, your belly shaking and shifting as she pushes and shoves against the walls of your stomach. You quickly go on the defensive, a little caught off guard by how effective her fighting is. You squeeze and shake your gut, trying to disrupt her efforts without being too harsh on her. As she pauses to catch her breath and reorient herself, the thought crosses your mind to tease or mess with her while you have her in there, but given how nervous she seemed about this you push the thought aside. Emma seems to pick up on your distraction and makes a sudden, hard push with all of her limbs. A loud belch rumbles up your throat, and soon after your stomach starts to spasm and you feel one of her arms get squeezed into the base of your esophagus. You fight against the feeling, frantically swallowing her down and massaging your belly until the feeling passes and she slides back down. "Guh... Nice work, that was, uh, really good..." you say, carefully getting to your feet and giving your gut a pat. "I'm gonna go ahead and //*urp*// move to the shower..." "Thanks!" Emma says, sounding genuinely excited by her progress. "Oh, but, um, sorry..." "Nah you're fine, it's part of the process," you laugh. "But don't think one good push means you're getting all the way out!" After moving into the bathroom, the struggle resumes, Emma seeming eager to prove you wrong. You don't hold anything back anymore now that you've seen what she can do, squeezing and kneading your belly to try and put a stop to her assault, even if it might be a little uncomfortable for her. <<if $oralProficiency > 2>>She puts up a good fight, but with you giving it everything you've got as a predator she starts to lose steam before she can wear you down. You're sweating by the time your alarm goes off, and you can hear that she's panting with exhaustion inside of you. After taking a moment to catch your breath and make sure she's prepared, you force yourself to vomit and spit her out right into the shower as she requested.<<else>>However, even giving it your all you're soon overwhelmed by the impressive fight she's putting up. You feel your stomach clamp down on her, and this time you aren't able to resist. Soon enough, she's spilling out of your mouth and onto the floor of the shower.<</if>> She sits up and starts to say something, but cuts herself off with a sharp inhale, her eyes going wide. Just as she'd explained before, as soon as the realization hits her that she's //outside// your stomach, but still covered in its juices, she starts to panic. You chuckle as she turns on the shower before she's even started to take her <<if $emmaRel > 4>>underwear<<else>>clothes<</if>> off, quickly turning and heading back to the room so she can get clean. You lay back on your bed, pulling out your laptop to pass the time as it quickly becomes clear that her shower is going to be just a //bit// longer than yours. You massage your stomach a little with one hand while you flick through the tabs you have open, feeling a little sore from the punishment Emma gave you. Nearly an hour passes before she finally steps back out of the bathroom. "Feeling better?" you say with a smirk. "Much..." she replies with a contented sigh. "That wasn't so bad though! I really do feel like I've gotten a bit better, and I think doing this little extra practice with you will help me get more comfortable with doing this sort of thing in class." "Definitely! I'm sure we've still got a ways to go before we can handle Zoey alone though, we should do this again sometime," you say. "Maybe!" Emma says with a slightly nervous laugh. <<if $emmaRel > 4>>She looks you over and blushes a little. "You had plenty of time to put your shirt back on you know..." "Are you sure you really wanted me to?" you tease. Your own cheeks flare up and you cross your arms nervously, betraying your attempt to sound confident. "Maybe not~" Emma replies, giving you a smile that makes your heart skip a beat. After a pregnant pause, she clears her throat. <</if>>"But anyways, thanks for the idea! And letting me, uh, use you for practice." "Of course, thanks for going along with it! I definitely think this helped," you reply with a smile.<<if $emmaRel < 5>> <<if $emmaRel < 2>><<Emma 2>><<else>><<Emma 1>><</if>><</if>> "Well, I'm pretty exhausted after that, and I already showered, so I think I'm just gonna turn in early," Emma says with a yawn. She sits back on her bed, startign to get comfortable. "Yeah, that's probably a good call honestly," you say, yawning yourself. You stretch out your arms and get up from your bed, heading for the bathroom. <<include "playerPreyEscape">><<set $totalEscaped -= 1>><<set $outfitState to "normal">>[[Get ready for bed->September 5th- End of Day]]

"Well I'm standing in for someone way worse, and you were so smug about being able to beat me, I have to have a little fun," she laughs. "But for real, only half teasing, just say the word and I'll get you out." "Oh don't you worry about me," you say. You grin in the darkness of her gut.

There's a harsh edge to her voice you haven't really heard before. "Emma I'm just--" "No, I... I can't believe you $name! I'm getting you out..." she says. You're roughly jostled around as she gets up from her bed and storms into the bathroom. "We're done with this." "Emma, really, I'll take things more seriously," you say, bracing yourself with your arms as she moves around. She comes to a stop, resting her hands on the front of her belly. "You said we were training. I let you into my body so you could practice, not... whatever you've been doing for fifteen minutes..." she says. One of her arms wraps around her belly and starts to push in. "Ugh, just get out..." You hear Emma gag, then shortly after the walls of her stomach crash in around you. With some extra assistance from her arm, you're quickly pushed up into her esophagus. It doesn't take long before you slide back past her lips and out into the cool air of the room. You find that you're in the shower when you sit up, covered in digestive fluids from your brief trip into your roommate. "...please take a long shower..." Emma grumbles, looking away from you. You're pretty sure you hear her sniffle as she heads back into the main room. You sigh, slowly getting to your feet. Although you aren't quite sure what you were thinking doing that in the first place, you're shocked by how much it seemed to offend Emma. You take off your <<if $outfit is "underwear">>underwear<<else>>clothes<</if>> and turn on the water, intending to take Emma's advice about the shower. You take your time getting clean, despite the fact that her neutralized stomach didn't leave too much of a mess. Your attention is more on thinking about the situation at hand than the shower itself. Eventually, your fingers start to prune and you finally shut off the water, hoping Emma has cooled down enough by now. Luckily, she was still kind enough to leave a towel out for you. After drying off and wrapping up, you step out into the room. Emma is laying on her bed with her back turned to you, focused on her phone. You don't say anything yet, just quickly grabbing some clothes and heading back into the bathroom to change. When you return to the room, you sit down on the edge of your bed. <<set $outfit to "normal">> "Um, Emma..." you say. She puts her phone down, but doesn't turn around. "I really don't appreciate being lied to, $name." "I... I'm sorry, it was kind of a strange thing to do..." Emma sighs. "I know most people don't see it this way, so you probably think I'm weird for being upset..." She sits up and finally turns to face you, hugging her knees. "But... Swallowing someone, it's a really intimate thing, at least to me. Like, being //inside// someone is literally the closest you can be. I don't know //what// you were doing in there, but... it just feels really gross knowing you weren't honest about why you wanted me to do this...<<if $emmaRel > 3>> Especially since you convinced me to let you //strip// right beforehand...<</if>>"<<set $emmaInfo3 to 2>> "Oh..." is all you say at first. "I didn't know you felt that way, I'm sorry. I promise this wasn't some scheme I planned ahead of time, I just suddenly had the idea to mess around..." "It's... It's okay, just please never do anything like this again," she says. "And let me sleep this off, I'll have cooled down by tomorrow." "Of course," you say. She lays back down and turns away again, still seeming hurt.<<if $emmaRel > 0>> <<if $emmaRel > 2>><<Emma -2>><<else>><<Emma -1>><</if>><</if>> You sit back on your own bed, pulling out your laptop to pass the time as you both sit in tense silence. You don't dare to ask if she still wants to do things the other way around given the circumstances. After a little while, Emma gets up to head into the shower. You decide it's probably about time to call it a night yourself, and when you hear the water shut off in the bathroom you close your laptop and grab your pajamas, heading into the bathroom right behind her when she steps out.

Once you're out of her way, the girl completely stops paying attention to you, reaching for the door handle. With your window of opportunity closing, you strike as fast as you can. Her complete disregard of you as a threat has left her wide open, and your stomach is still begging for a filling dinner. You grab her hand as she reaches for the door handle, quickly stuffing it into your mouth and swallowing hard. "H-Hey, what the f-!?" Another swallow jerks her towards you, and lands her head inside your mouth. Because of her short stature, your throat pulls her up, and you have to lean forward slightly to compensate for her weight as another gulp brings her shoulders up past your lips. As you start to lift her off the ground, her legs flail beneath her, trying to knock you off balance. You have to brace yourself against the door just to comfortably slide down into a sitting position before you can grab her legs to slow the struggle, and with your next swallow you feel her head beginning to stretch out your stomach. As you start to swallow her hips, you tilt your head up, letting gravity help you get her down. When her thighs enter your throat, her kicking weakens enough for you to let go, and with a couple more gentle gulps your lips meet and your dinner is fully inside you. With one more swallow, you feel her curl up inside your bulging stomach. @@color:yellowgreen;You overpowered your prey.@@ "//*UUUUuuurp*// Phew...

The fact that every time you lightly squeeze in to stop her outbursts you dig in a little deeper only makes it more clear that the fight is over. During a particularly long break in the action, you idly press in and out with your legs, lightly fidgeting with your soft, round gut as you wait for her next escape attempt.

I'm sure if you just push a little hard-//"*''OOUUURRRR''RRRRP!*"//" in the middle of your taunt, you squeeze in tighter than you intend, surprisingly finding practically no resistance as you accidentally force the excess air in your stomach up your throat. A heavy slosh accompanies you releasing the grip of your thighs on your stomach. A probing poke at your now rounded belly where Amelia's head should be only sinks down deep into soft flesh. @@color:lime;Amelia has been digested!@@ "Huh... I thought for sure you'd //*urrrp*// put up more of a last stand," you say to your gurgling stomach.

From her panting amidst her struggles, it's clear the resistance is taking a lot out of her. "Want to guess where the last bitch that cracked that joke ended up?" "Nah, but I'm going to assume that in a couple hours she'll wind up as part of the belly fat you're going to give me." <<else>> "You know, you seem really angry.

Amelia shouts, her head shooting up out of your mouth. More than happy to get back to its normal size, your stomach practically does half the work in pushing the rest of her back up your throat. In seconds, Amelia sprawled out on the floor, her clothes having completely melted away and her skin dotted with red burns. She slowly attempting to push herself up, her muscles failing her and sending her back onto the ground more than once before she finally manages to stand. "Gah...

"Do you //try// to swear with every sentence or are you just naturally like this?" you ask with a cough. "Can it, asshole....

You push open the door and head for the dining hall, hoping to at least grab a light dinner. <<include "playerPredFail">><<set $ateAmelia to false>>[[Head to dinner->September 5th- Dinner]]

<<Time 8.75>>You open the door and hurry out into the hall, finding yourself upstairs in the further hallway of Lampton. You rush back toward the bridge to get back to your own dorm, unfortunately having to pass by a few girls that were on their way to breakfast, catching both amused and disgusted looks. Luckily, when you finally make it back to your room and head inside, you find that Emma isn't there, sparing you an awkward conversation. You immediately head into the bathroom, grabbing your towel on the way. After pulling off your soaked clothes, you turn on the shower and step under the refreshing stream of water. As you get yourself clean, you also take the time to process what you just spent a full day doing. You go extra heavy on the soap to make sure you definitely get rid of any residual scent left behind. Eventually, a growl from your stomach convinces you to wrap things up and you step out to dry off. While you rush through the rest of your morning routine, brushing your teeth and throwing on the first outfit you find, it becomes increasingly hard to ignore the fact that you haven't eaten anything since breakfast yesterday thanks to Janet. Although you're starting to cut it close on time, skipping breakfast clearly isn't an option so you hurry back out of your room and over to Lampton to get to the dining hall. You make a beeline for the buffet line when you arrive.<<set $outfitState to "normal">><<set $outfit to "normal">> Unfortunately, all they have set out today are bagels. You just grab several and a random assortment of the toppings they have set out and head for an open seat, not having time to even toast them. You immediately dig in, scarfing down your carb-heavy meal to sate your aching stomach. The first bite makes clear just how hungry you are, and you end up practically swallowing them whole, not even ending up using the packets of cream cheese and butter you grabbed in your haste. In just a few minutes over half a dozen bagels disappear down your throat, the end of your rapid binge punctuated by a loud burp. You lean back and rest a hand on your very slightly bulging stomach with a contented sigh. Then, remembering you still have a class to get to, you take care of your plate and start to head out.

<<Time 10>>Having a feeling that you might know who's at the center of that commotion based on what you heard, you step away from the door and head to investigate instead. Sure enough, when you turn the corner you catch a quick glimpse of two girls dragging a pretty unmistakable face into a nearby bathroom. Mina is in peril once again. You hurry off to catch up with them before anything too bad happens, feeling the faintist twinge of frustration about having to come to the rescue again. But, you're still relieved to have come across her in time. When you arrive at the bathroom door, you very gently ease it open, hoping to be able to survey the scene before alerting the girls to your presence. "I don't know..." one of them says, a black girl with her hair tied back into a braided ponytail. "Come on, this is the perfect opportunity! She's so small, and no way can she put up much of a fight," the other girl replies, a tall blonde with short hair. She's holding Mina by the arm. "Just look at this." Despite the fact that she's not paying any attention to her while she's talking, Mina's attempts at breaking her grip don't seem to be accomplishing much of anything. "No no, I get that. I just don't know if I'm willing to help with something involving your butthole," the other girl explains. Realizing where they intend to take this, you quickly head in to break things up. "What's going on, you guys having a party in here or something?" you say, acting like you're just here to use the bathroom. "//*Pfft*//, no, just getting some privacy," the blonde girl says. She doesn't seem alarmed, though the other one is giving you a suspicious look. "Check out how fucking tiny this girl is though! She's gotta be under five foot, right?" "Wow, that's crazy!" you say, feigning shock as you get close to the group. You crouch down to look at Mina while the girl shows her off like some prize she earned, giving her a tiny nod when she makes eye contact. "I bet she weighs like nothing," you say, putting a hand on Mina's free arm and glancing up at the blonde girl like you're requesting permission to test your theory. "Yeah it's hilarious! We just dragged her here like it was nothing," the girl laughs, nodding at you and dropping Mina's arm. "Hang on, don't just--" You immediately take off running with Mina once she's released, a little surprised that it was that easy. You rush out into the hall, keeping a loose grip on Mina's arm until it's clear she's gotten the message about the escape. As you turn the corner, you take a quick look behind you, finding that the two girls didn't give up that easily. "Hey, get back here!" the blonde girl shouts. "I need her for practice!" "She's not on the menu!" you call back, rushing towards the dorm hallway. Luckily, you have enough of a headstart that the two of you are able to duck into your room before they get close enough to spot you going in. "Ugh, they must have gone into their dorm already..." you hear one of the girls grumble as they walk past. "Maybe they just went upstairs?" the other suggests. You breathe a sigh of relief once you hear their footsteps trail off down the hall. "You okay?" you say, glancing over at Mina. "Yes, thank you $name," she says, giving you a little nod. "They had something quite awful planned for me." "Yeah I was getting that feeling from what I overheard..." you reply. You smile at her. "I'm glad I showed up in time!" "My apologies for making you put yourself in danger again..." she says, looking a little forlorn. "It is very kind of you to keep helping me." "Hey, no worries!" you say. "You've just had some bad luck. Although, maybe you should try to be a little more cautious in the halls," you add with a laugh. "What were you up to anyways?" "We were dissmissed early from my morning class, I was on my way back to my dorm," she explains. "But even this early in the day things are rather perilous here, I suppose." "Yeah, you've always gotta be on your guard if you're going to last here!" you say. "It sounds like they're gone, if you want to sneak back to your room. I'd say we should hang out, but I've got back to back classes right about now." "Of course, if you think it is safe." After poking your head out to make sure the coast is actually clear, you step out into the hall with Mina to bring her back to her dorm. Room K150, right by the stairs.<<set $minaDorm to true>> "Thank you again, $name," Mina says, pausing in the doorway with a small smile on her face. "I really appreciate what you've done for me." "Of course!

You give her another wave, then continue back to your own dorm. A little concerned that the two girls you angered might still be out looking for you, you decide to just skip your first class entirely rather than show up late.

You sit down in the nearest available seat. Evidently you were exactly on time, because Professor Juniper gets up to start teaching less than a minute after you get seated. "Good morning everyone!" she says with a cheery smile. "I know things will have been a little crazy for you, but I hope you've all had a good first week! I promise I'll get your names down well enough to skip this eventually, but for now I'm going to need to do attendence still, bear with me!" She goes down the list of names<<if $ateCassidy or $samAteCassidy>>; you smirk to yourself when Cassidy is the only new name to go unanswered<<else>>, being pleasantly surprised that not only are there no new missing students, but one girl she'd marked down as being digested actually just missed the first two classes and is here today<</if>>. "Okay, let's begin!" She gives a quick recap of what was covered in the last class, then continues on to wrapping up the first unit, "Prey Selection and Knowing Your Limits". She covers a little bit more on physical limitations to keep in mind, primarily a warning about how it's inadvisable to try to swallow any more than a single person at a time--even if your stomach has room for multiple, your throat isn't able to stretch nearly as much. While some very active predators //can// manage it with some difficulty, trying to squeeze two people into your throat at once, especially in the case of eating a predator with a full stomach, is dangerous and can easily result in injury. She then moves on to discuss the dangers of being overconfident in your abilities and why it's important to be smart in choosing when and what prey you go for. To cap things off, she tells a story from back when she was a student at the school as an example. Late in her sophomore year, she came across a senior out in the courtyard who had swallowed one of the juniors, but a friend of her prey wasn't far away and had come to try and help. The overzealous senior managed to eat the second junior as well, but after a prolonged struggle two active prey of that level proved to be too much for her and the juniors escaped. Juniper points out that this was already poor judgement on the senior's part: not taking into account her surroundings by overlooking the other girl that came to aid her initial prey, and then biting off more than she could chew when the situation got messy. But she'd made another mistake that would prove to be a fatal one: doing all this in such a public area. Juniper had been watching from the sidelines the whole time and, although she never would have normally been able to handle her, swooped in to eat the senior while she was completely exhausted by the ordeal she'd just been through. Someone points out that that doesn't sound like something she would do, but Juniper just chuckles and explains that she was a much different person in her college days. "Alright then, that's everything for today! Enjoy your weekend everyone!" Juniper says, dismissing the class. <<AttendIntro>>\ <<if $freshCoupleRel > 1>>As you're getting up to leave, you feel a tap on your shoulder. "Um, hey $name," someone says from behind you.

"Oh, I just wanted to double check where it was gonna be on campus," she says. She gets a little smile and looks off to the side. "Heh, Sarah forgot and keeps telling me something different whenever I ask instead of admitting it..." "It's gonna be in the lounge in Lampton! The door to the left of the stairs from the dining hall, I think," you say. The two of you start to walk towards the door together. "Okay good, that's what I thought.

But, you suppose they have to cover the basics here just in case. Eventually, she reaches the end of the lesson, seeming relieved herself. "Okay, I think that wraps things up for our first lesson, thank you for coming everyone!" Steria says. "Um, as a final note we will be having a small quiz on this information Tuesday. Just some really basic questions to make sure you're understanding everything, I promise we won't have many pen-and-paper tests in here," she adds with a somewhat nervous laugh.

She seems stressed for a moment and looks away, glancing into the classroom. "Looks like she isn't here yet."<<set $sarahInfo2 to 1>> "Ah, gotcha..." you say. Behind Alesha, you spot Sarah approaching from the other end of the hall. She holds a finger up to her mouth when you lock eyes with her. "Um, so how was your first week?" you ask, getting the message. "Oh! Uh, I don't know. Kinda scary? Not all bad, but I'm still bummed about not rooming with Sarah..." "You called?~" Sarah says, draping herself over Alesha's shoulder and giving her a kiss on the cheek. Alesha looks startled at first, but then smiles and leans over to give her a kiss in return. "What are you doing here, Ali? Is $name trying to steal you away from me?" "You know that would never work, babe," Alesha says with a giggle, giving her another quick kiss. "I just wanted to surprise you! And let you know that I asked $name and the party's going to be in the Lampton lounge tomorrow night." "Yeah, that's what I've been telling you!" Sarah laughs. Alesha smirks and gives you a quick nod.

Your <<if $outfit is "normal">>shorts are<<else>>skirt is<</if>> completely gone, leaving you in just your panties and a tattered shirt.<</if>> It's difficult to get traction on the smooth floor with your current state, but you manage to carefully get up into a kneeling position. <<if $cherryInquiry1 < 2>>"Well, fair enough I guess," Cherry says with a cough. She's bent over with a hand on her stomach when you first look over at her, but seems to recover quickly. "Pretty good fighting in there freshie! Would have been way better if you'd gone along with my plan, but whatever." "...really?" you say as you slowly work your way back to your feet. "That's it?<<if $totalEscaped > 0>> Usually people are super angry when I escape.<</if>>" "I mean, what, you want me to try again or something?" Cherry says. She shrugs. "I probably could if I took you in the back instead, if that's what you really want." "No! No, I uh... I need to get cleaned up..." you say, shuffling towards the door<<if $turn > 7>> with your hands covering your body<</if>>.<<else>>"Bleck... I knew I was overdoing it a little on the taunting..." Cherry says, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand while the other clutches her stomach. "Well, think of that as a preview of what happens to people that keep sticking their noses into my business, kay?" "Definitely... got the message..." you say wtih a cough, struggling back to your feet. "Good, glad we cleared that up!" Cherry, says, quickly recovering and giving you a sly smile. "If you really drop it, we're good." She leans forward. "But if not... I'll have a lot more fun with this next time.~" She winks and gently pats her rear with one hand. You recoil a little from the implication, deciding not to test your luck any further by hurrying to the bathroom door instead of giving any response. You hear Cherry giggling behind you.<</if>><</if>> <<include "playerPreyEscape">>[[Go get cleaned up->Eaten by Cherry- Recovery]]<<set $metCherry to true>>

"Perfect! No take backs," Cherry says with a slight laugh. Her stomach lets out an odd groan and you feel her start to roughly massage her gut, working in tandem with her inner muscles to flip you upside down inside of her. <</if>>"Uh, Ch-Cherry..?" you say as you're rotated around, your head starting to get dangerously close to being submerged in the small pool of acid at the bottom of the chamber. "What the fuck are you doing?" "Just hang tight!" she says, loosening her grip. "This'll be fun! Probably wanna hold your breath for a second though." You take her advice, taking a deep breath of the stale air in her stomach while you can. She seems to do the same, then a moment later the walls clamp down on you. You hear Cherry grunting a little as you're shifted around once more, your face briefly getting pushed beneath the surface of the built up acid. But then... the acid starts to drain. There are some odd glorps and gurgles as the tide pulls away from you, your body getting shifted a little more in the process, until you feel a tight pressure gripping the top of your head. <<if $anatomyDemonstration > 1>>A very unpleasant sense of deja vu strikes you as you're reminded of the demonstration you volunteered for yesterday...<<else>>It feels like you're starting to get thrown up... except you definitely aren't angled right to be entering her throat.<</if>> Your head starts to get dragged deeper, sliding through her lower sphincter and into the tighter, smoother passage beyond. You start to try and push out with your arms in protest, but her stomach has you held like a vice while it works to pass you on. Inch by inch, you're squeezed out into her smaller intestine, the slick, oddly plush walls wrapping tight around your body. You advance in staggered bursts at first, but Cherry quickly gets the hang of it and drags you smoothly into the depths of her body. There's a wet //*shlurk*// as your feet pass through the sphincter and it's able to seal behind you. "There..." Cherry says with a heavy sigh. You can hear her panting as she leans back and massages her belly. "God, that's always the worst part of bringing someone in from the back, I don't know why I thought it would be any better going the other way..." <<if _secondRodeo>>"Are you //serious// Cherry?" you say, pushing your arms out against the intestinal walls to make your outrage clear. "What the hell, this is disgusting!" "Hey come on, you're not in any danger in there!" Cherry replies. She gently runs a hand along the length of your body. "I've never had someone go all the way in that direction, I wanted to try it out. Isn't it a little interesting at least? I'm mixing things up for you, all that in and out of stomachs the typical way gets stale!" "I would rather just not get eaten at all!" you shout, finding it a little hard to get the words out with how tight your surroundings are. You can feel that her inner muscles are slowly dragging you forward, light waves of pressure rippling through the passage away from her stomach at regular intervals. "Well it's too late for that, party pooper!" Cherry says, giving her gut a light smack. "Just enjoy the ride."<<else>>"Am I... am I really in your intestines right now?" you say, curiously running a hand along the wall. The surface is smooth and squishy, your hand seeming to slightly sink into it. "Yep! First time?" she giggles. She gently rubs one of her hands along her gut, matching the movements of your own on the inside. "Yeah... This is--" you start to say. "Amazing? I know right! I'm honored to be your first experience with the lower digestive system," she giggles.<<if ($wrongClassroomStars is "tested") or ($wrongClassroomStars is "failed")>> Then she gives her belly a light smack. "Well, your first experience on this end, anyways.~"<</if>> "I was going to say 'gross'," you mutter. You can feel that her inner muscles are slowly dragging you forward, light waves of pressure rippling through the passage away from her stomach at regular intervals. "Rude! I've never had someone go all the way in that direction, I wanted to try it out. I thought maybe you'd appreciate me mixing things up," she scoffs. "Just hang tight and enjoy the ride."<</if>> With that, you feel the walls around you somehow grow even tighter, starting to push you forward at a much faster rate. Your body steadily slides through hers, the odd squishing and squelching sounds of your passage accompanied by Cherry softly humming to herself. You can feel her caressing and massaging her belly as you move. At first it seems like she's giving her body extra assistance, but it pretty quickly becomes clear that she's just enjoying the sensation. After a minute or so, your head bumps against some kind of barrier and the walls around you finally relax. "Whew..." Cherry sighs, patting her belly. "How's the tour so far? You're at our first and only stop." "Weird and unpleasant," you grumble. "Just hurry up and get me out, please..." "Aw, so soon?" she says, drumming her fingers against you from the outside. "I mean you're totally safe in there, wouldn't it be fun to just spend part of the day with me?" "Absolutely not!" you protest. Cherry just chuckles under her breath and gives her belly another pat. A moment later you hear... a zipper. She bends over, not seeming hindered by your presence at all, then takes a few steps. You give the walls a kick to try and get her attention. "Cherry, I'm serious!" you say. You can feel some subtle movement, but she seems to just be standing around. "What the hell are you even doing?" "Hmm? Oh, sorry, I look super cute with a gut. I was enjoying myself in the mirror while I've got you there," she says with a laugh. "I was more worried about you taking your shorts off, by the sounds of it..." "What do you mean? How would I get you out if my butthole wasn't accessible?" "O-Oh... yeah..." you say, blushing in the darkness of her bowels. "And as much fun as I'm having, it's probably about time for that part. So brace yourself!" she says. Soon after, the walls crash in again, and you're forced through the sphincter ahead of you. Your body pushes throught the tight opening and into a marginally looser passage than the one currently constricting you. You gag as the pressure of her inner muscles slides you through her large intestine, a foul scent briefly assaulting your nose. Luckily, it doesn't take long before you reach the final step of your journey, bumping against yet another dead-end. Cherry jolts and lets out a little noise at the contact, pulling you back in a little bit. "Mmh... okay, end of the road $name..." Cherry says, panting a little. "You ready?" "Yes, please... get it over with..." you reply. She chuckles to herself, and you hear a slapping sound near your head. "Here we go.~" The walls of her colon gently squeeze you, starting to nudge you forward towards the end of the passage. This time, when the top of your head bumps into her sphincter, it starts to stretch open to let you through. Inch by inch, you're pushed back out into the world, feeling the cool air of the bathroom start to graze your scalp. You open your eyes once you feel them pass through, immediately blushing as you find your current view of the world framed by the cheeks of Cherry's ass. She giggles mischievously and you come to a stop. The plush flesh surrounding you suddenly squeezes in, blocking your vision again. You let out a muffled sound of outrage as she pulls your head back into her bowels with a single, powerful tug from her inner muscles. "CHERRY!" you shout, squirming against the walls that are once again sealed around you. "Hehe, sorry.~ Don't worry, I'll get you out for real now," she says, giggling. "If I mess around much more it's going to turn into the kind of fun I need consent for." "//I// would argue you should have gotten consent before dragging me through your entire digestive system..." you grumble. Cherry just snickers and pats her belly before clenching her muscles again. <<if ($fat > 49) or ($breastSize > 44)>>Once again you start to slowly inch out, your head soon gliding against the soft flesh of her ass as you're pushed towards freedom. She's going frustratingly slow, however, and you're finding it a bit hard to breathe with how tightly her muscles are clinging to your chest. You try to wriggle forward, assisting her as a strong push manages to force your breasts back out into the outside world. You're left dangling beneath her, her anus clenched around your midriff. It feels like she's panting. "Cherry, seriously! Get on with it!" you shout, shifting against her grip in protest. "S-Sorry... You're, uh, bigger than I realized..." she chuckles. Her muscles clench around her and her voice becomes strained. "Just hang tight..!" You start to move forward again<<if $fat < 49>>, moving at a much quicker pace now that she's made it past your chest<<else>>, sliding out in slow, somewhat staggered bursts<</if>>. Finally, you feel yourself drop down onto the cold tile of the bathroom floor, more of you free than not. Once your arms are out, you use them to expediate your escape, pulling the last of your body free as you collapse onto the ground.<<else>>Luckily, she actually keeps her word this time. You're pushed out much faster than before, your body smoothly sliding out from between her cheeks and onto the cold tile of the bathroom floor. You take a gasping breath of fresh air after being sealed in her guts for so long, using your arms to further expediate your escape as soon as they're free.<</if>> You push yourself up into a sitting position, feeling a bit stiff, and turn around to look at Cherry. She's facing away but glancing over her shoulder at you, bent over with the ass you just emerged from on full display. On top of being naked from the waist down, she also took off her over shirt for some reason, leaving her with just a short tube top. Before you've even fully processed the sight, she drops back onto the ground right in front of you, leaning back to rest in your lap. "Ah... that was really exhausting," she sighs. "What did you think of the Cherry experience, $name?" "I should eat you right now for that..." "Aw, don't be mean, I could have digested you you know," she giggles. She reaches a hand up and pats your cheek. "Besides, do you really want to be stuck in a bathroom looking like this while you try to keep me down after that? Or taste the gunk I just got on myself?~" "Ugh, get off..." you grumble, nudging her away before getting to your feet. "Yeah, I guess this is technically preferable to being digested, so thanks for that. But I<<if _secondRodeo>> really need a shower now.<<else>>... I need a shower...<</if>>" "Oh yeah, big time," she snickers. She quickly puts her shorts back on, though seems content with keeping her other shirt off. "Thanks for helping me out with this, always fun to try new things.~ See you around!"<<if $cherryRel < 3>> <<Cherry 1>><</if>> You sigh and shake your head as she head out of the bathroom, giving her time to put some distance between you so you don't have to deal with her any more. You glance over at the bathroom mirror, cringing at your current disheveled state and hoping you don't run into anyone you know on the way back to your dorm. With another sigh, you head for the door. <<include "playerPreyEscape">>[[Get cleaned up->Eaten By Cherry- Full Tour: Recovery]]<<set $metCherry to true>>

Then you lather up with soap to ensure that you're really clean, feeling like you're cleaner than you were before the incident by the time you're finished. Feeling like you might still be able to make it to class, you don't linger too long, getting out to dry off as soon as you're satisfied that you aren't going to smell like the inside of a stomach anymore. You head out into the room and throw on a fresh pair of clothes, just grabbing the first things you find rather than putting much thought into it. A quick check of the time on your phone reveals that Survival is about halfway over, but you decide that it's worth catching the end of. So, you head out into the hall to resume your day.<<set $outfit to "normal">><<set $outfitState to "normal">> [[Hurry to class->September 6th- Survival]]

<<Time 12.75>>You trudge out into the hall, making your way back through the building to your dorm. Someone passing by gives you a disgusted look, but luckily it isn't anyone you recognize.

Eventually, you fully wrap your head around the unexpected turn of events and step out to dry off. After throwing on a fresh set of clothes, you check the time. Survival is practically over by now, no point in bothering with it at this point. Instead, you think about what you want to do with your afternoon.

Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be able to get //very// close, if that's what you want~" she says, leaning forward over the table enough to slightly squish her chest. "Congrats on surviving the night, by the way. Everyone loves a winner. Or... did you spend the night making someone feel good?~" "N-No, I won, thankfully..." you say, blushing. You can't help stealing a glance down at her cleavage. "Well I'm glad, but... don't knock it till you try it~" she says with a chuckle. "I would have stuck around to try and pick up second place, but... well, if you won you know what happens to someone who didn't bring anything."<</if>> "Yeah..." you say, rubbing your stomach for a moment as you recall the beating Ashley gave it that night. "I found something better to do that night anyways...~" she muses with a sly smile. "Oh, but you wanted to talk. What's on your mind?"\ <<else>>\ Your curiousity getting the better of you, you head over to the table with the goth girl. She seems to notice you coming her way pretty much immediately and gives you a smirk. She has long, wild black hair and striking blue eyes. You blush a little when you notice just how low the cut is on her top, leaving her full cleavage exposed other than the thin mesh of her fishnets. "Uh, hi, is this seat taken?" you say. She just looks you over, <<if $fat > 34>>making a somewhat disappointed face but not voicing any objection<<else>>leaning back in her seat with a subtle smile<</if>>. "So, uh, goth huh?" you say as you take a seat, feeling a little flustered and blurting out the first thing you think of to avoid an awkward silence. "Mmhhm, like what you see, darling?" the girl says. She leans forward, grabbing the front of her shirt to adjust it and laughing when your eyes are drawn to the movement. "Name's Nadia, were you planning on giving me yours?" "Oh, I'm $name, sorry," you quickly reply. Now that you're closer, you notice her shirt has a silver moon design on the front, along with subtle skulls over her chest. She's also wearing a choker with a small moon charm hanging off the front. "Uh, nice to meet you." "It always is," she says with a sly smile. She leans forward more, lightly squishing her chest against the tabletop. "You're a freshman, right? Did someone send you my way, or did I just catch your eye?" "Um, just saw you here and wanted to say hi," you reply, unable to help stealing a glance down at her chest. "Still the first week, gotta, uh, get to know people, y'know?" "Mmh, of course," she says with a nod<<if $fat < 35>>, gently tracing one of her fingers in a little circle on the table<</if>>.

You give her a sly smile. "All that black must be awful hot though, wouldn't you be more comfortable without it?~"<</if>> Nadia grins. "Oh?~" she says<<if $fat < 35>>, lowering her eyes at you<</if>>. She leans over the table and cocks her head, gently resting one hand under her chin while the other shifts to make sure you've got a clear view of her thinly veiled chest. <<if $nadiaRel > 0>>"Still can't get that night out of your head, huh?" "What can I say? You made a big impression," you say, smirking. "But I'm afraid the memory might start to fade.

"I knew you came looking for another round, darling.~ <<if $nadiaClimax > 0>>After last time, how could I say no? But tell me..." she whispers. She looks you straight in the eye and licks one of her fingers. "What do you want to do to me?~" "O-Oh um..." you say, your nerves finally breaking down the confident facade you'd been managing, her escalation too much for you to handle. "We'll have to work on your dirty talk," Nadia giggles. She pokes your nose with the finger she'd licked, leaving the faintest trace of saliva on your skin, then leans back. "<<if $fat > 34>>And you'll have to work on watching your weight, I //do// have some standards, you know. <</if>>But don't worry, there aren't many people that can keep up with me. I'm busy already tonight with something I don't think you're ready for, but feel free to try again next time you see me.~"<<else>>It did end with a bit of a whimper last time..." "O-Oh, uh s-sorry..." you say, your face flushing red. You didn't realize you'd disappointed her that much. Nadia giggles, reaching forward and giving you a gentle pat on the cheek before leaning back to her seat. "Aw it's okay<<if $fat < 35>> cutie<</if>>, I didn't mean to break down your moxie that fast. <<if $fat > 34>>As long as you take care of that extra weight you've been putting on, <</if>>I promise I'll give you another chance some time, but I've got something planned tonight already that I don't think you're ready for.~"<</if>><<else>>\ "That's cute. Since you can't take your eyes off my body, I'm curious: What's your favorite part?~" You blush a little as you look her over, taking in her even more revealing pose. Then you regain your composure, smirking as you settle on the best approach for answering a question like that. "Honestly? It's your eyes, I get lost in them every time I look your way.~" Nadia gets an impish smile on her face and covers her mouth, then after a couple seconds can't hold it in any more and bursts out laughing. "//Fucking shit..!//" she blurts out, leaning back in her seat and covering her mouth again until her laughter dies down. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! That was really mean," she says, still giggling a little. "But honey, lines like that would only //maybe// work on like, a highschool crush with no experience. You really need to work on that if you wanna get anywhere." "U-Um, sorry..." you say, your face burning up as you slink back into your seat. Nadia gives you a sympathetic look, then smirks and leans forward over the table again. "If you want to impress //me// you should have answered something like..." she says, leaning in even closer. She whispers something in your ear that somehow makes you blush even harder. "O-Oh god..!" you say weakly. Nadia chuckles as she returns to a normal position in her seat.

It's quickly made clear that her muscles aren't just for show as she pulls you in close with a single tug on your arm. Pulling from your right towards hers, she manages to make you turn and stumble, catching you with her other arm so that you end with your back to her. You catch a glimpse of the girl who had chimed in before grinning at you from her treadmill just before Kayla forces your head into her mouth. Taking advantage of your disorientation, she moves quickly to swallow you down. Your head is already sliding down her throat before your instincts catch up and you start to squirm against her grip. Not that it makes any difference--you're easily overpowered by her, even after she'd just finished an intense workout. Your shoulders and chest pass through her lips, following your head down her throat as she works to pack you away in her gut. Slick flesh rubs against your skin as her body eagerly drags you deeper and deeper. You can hear her stomach groaning before your head has even pushed into it, her body impatiently awaiting its reward for the exertion she put it through. Soon, you find yourself starting to curl up into the slimy embrace of her gut, your face dragging across the wrinkled walls thanks to your angle of entry.

"Nah, get her Kayla!" someone on the next treadmill over says, seeming to have slowed down just so she can watch what's going on. "Don't let nobody talk that kind of shit to you!" Kayla makes another grab, which you just barely manage to dodge away from. This time you make a break for it, rushing out of the room to get away from her. You hear an indignant grunt behind you, and the clear sounds that she's giving chase. Not liking your odds of making it down the stairs with how close she is, you take the only other option and run out onto the track. "Ugh, //puta!//" you hear Kayla shout.

Things are pretty quiet at this hour, only one other person outside at the moment, on their way to the dining hall. You head right inside when you arrive at the doors to the Aesir complex, finding that it's not nearly as quiet here at this hour. There looks to be a class going on in the main gym, and as you head upstairs to the weight room you find it similarly packed. Nearly every machine is in use already, the only exception being the treadmills directly adjacent to one a particularly intimidating upperclassman is running on, which you trust everyone else has avoided for a reason. But, you immediately recognize Kayla running on the nearest one, and she seems to be slowing down. She's practically glistening with sweat, wearing just a green sports bra and grey athletic shorts.

And she told //me// that you've been saying some interesting things about my habits too. Something about me eating my sister, which I don't have, because I'm such an insatiable predator?

Kayla groans. "And?" "She seemed pretty hurt and said it was a made up rumor that caused her a lot of trouble in highschool..." "Well first, obviously she wasn't going to say it was true," Kayla says with a sigh. "And second, that's bull. I never spread that to anyone back then, and the others I knew who got the same feeling about it were //scared// of her, no way was anyone giving her grief about it." "Right...

This time you decide to do some sprints for a more intense workout, working up to a very high speed on the machine for short bursts, then dropping back to a walking pace for a little while to recover. After a few sets of that, you're feeling completely drained, your stomach starting to growl in protest of how much work you're doing with only your breakfast to run on. You gently bring yourself to a stop, then step off and start to catch your breath, panting and coated in sweat just like Kayla was when you came in. <<Workout>>As you head out of the weight room and make your way downstairs, you notice that your belly feels oddly cool, and you're feeling lighter on your feet than earlier. @@color:lime;You must have lost weight!@@<<if $counter is 1>> Unfortunately, your bra also feels like it isn't fitting quite right anymore. @@color:red;That weight had to come from somewhere.@@<</if>> Just as you're about to head back outside to return to your dorm, a loud groan cuts through the air from your stomach.

She starts to push in hard with her hands, squeezing you from both sides. You shift to brace yourself against it, trying to push back against her and maintain some breathing room, but as soon as you get into a decent position she tightens her stomach muscles, causing the walls in front of you to crash in //hard//. You try to adjust again, but all you manage is losing the slight defensive position you'd managed to gain.

At first she seems to be trying to hold you down, but quickly gives up the notion. "Fine..." she grunts. Your head starts to push back up into her throat, moving slowly at first. But then, the pressure in her stomach somehow gets even more intense as she clenches her stomach muscles tight, sending you rushing back towards freedom. You're forced out into the cool air of the room so quickly that it leaves you disoriented, needing a moment to adjust to the sudden change in scenery. <<if $turn < 3>>You look around, finding yourself right near the entrance to the building.

<<Time 15>><<if $outfitState is "gone">>You take a deep breath, wrapping one arm around your chest and using the other to cover your crotch. Then, you push open the door and rush out into the courtyard. Only to immediately freeze up in a panic. Naturally, things have become way more active since you walked over, and now there are all kinds of people hanging around outside to see you--you're pretty sure you even see Alice by the fountain. Realizing that just standing around is only making it worse, you start to run towards the doors to Karbo, blushing furiously as many curious eyes are drawn to your nude form. A few look sympathetic, more laugh, but you do your best to ignore them as you race back to your dorm. You imagine this isn't all that uncommon of a sight for the upperclassmen, but you still can't help being embarrassed. When you finally make it to your door, you unlock it and hurry inside as quickly as you can, breathing heavily from how quickly you were moving.<<else>>You open the door and step out into the courtyard. You sigh and pause for a moment, finding that, naturally, now that you're in an embarrassing state, the campus is now the busiest you've seen it since the first day.

The dining hall probably doesn't have much left at this point, but with how busy things were now might be a good time to hunt for a larger meal... Or, it might be smarter to relax and recover from your escape a bit longer and just wait for dinner.

It's Sadie, one of your fellow tributes from Maeve's party--the one who wound up in second place after her failed attempt to gang up on you with Claire. You'd had more important things on your mind at the time, but now that you're getting a better look at her you can't help your mouth watering a little. She's wearing a more teasing outfit than the uniform back then: a red tank top that clings to her sizable chest and a white miniskirt showing off her tanned legs and thick thighs. Just looking at her, you can feel your stomach growling. You can't blame that one upperclassman at the party for being all over her... Now that you think about it, the taller girl she's talking to actually might be her. She's got short, dirty blonde hair in a pixie cut, and skin that's tan though not as dark as Sadie's. And though she's lankier than your desired prey, the tight black shorts she's wearing draw your eye to a big butt. Hearing the two of them talking, you sneak a little closer to listen, looking at your phone for cover and watching out of the corner of your eye. "You're sure you don't want to walk to class together?" Sadie asks softly. "Oh c'mon, you'll be fine!" the other girl assures her with a smile. "Don't get me wrong, you are a total snack, but it isn't Monday anymore. You're not scared, are you?" "No, I–" Sadie blushes, looking down at her feet and rubbing a curl of her hair between two fingers. "I just thought that it could be nice, is all." "Hmm." The other girl looks at her curiously before clapping her hands together, grinning. "Well, if you'd rather hang out, we could have lots more fun skipping class back in my room. Or I could just have you to fill me up more after lunch...~" She pats her stomach, leaning in close to Sadie and licking her lips. Sadie makes a flustered noise and quickly steps away, blushing harder now. "Um! I-I really think I should get to class, Gigi." "Okay, okay," Gigi says, stepping back with a laugh. "Just don't get eaten before I see you again!~" She turns away and walks off with a wave, one that Sadie shyly returns. Distracted as the curvy girl looks right now, she doesn't seem to have noticed you yet as she turns her back on you to head to class. This could be your chance. \ <<elseif $trialSavedByNadia>> One of them looks familiar, but it takes you a second to realize why. It's Sadie, from Maeve's deathtrap of a party that you managed to escape thanks to Nadia. You wouldn't have pegged her as a survivor from your first look at her then, but now that you think of it Claire did say something about her getting out too. Maybe she was tougher than she looked... or maybe she just got lucky. One thing is for sure, you can't help your mouth watering a little at the sight of her. She's wearing a more teasing outfit than the uniform back then: a red tank top that clings to her sizable chest and a white miniskirt showing off her tanned legs and thick thighs. Unfortunately she's not alone, but as you watch, the taller girl she's talking with leans down for what looks like a kiss before giving Sadie a cheery wave and walking away. Sadie, blushing and looking a little out of it, turns away and starts walking off, presumably towards class. She's not exactly hurrying, and this seems like the best opportunity you're going to get. \ <<else>>\ One of them immediately sticks out to you as particularly appetizing prey. She's short, cute, and curvy, with curly black hair and light brown skin. Thick thighs and a very eye-catching chest are shown off by her outfit--a white miniskirt and a low-cut red tank top. Best of all, it looks like she's now heading off on her own to class, her back to you and the girl she was talking to splitting off in a different direction. This looks like the perfect opportunity. \ <</if>> \ <<link "Try to eat her">> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to false>> <<set _baseline to 10>> <<set _modifier to 1>> <<set $stamina -= 6>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto "Hunt 1- Eat Sadie">> <<else>> <<replace "#choice">>\ <<if $ateAshley>>\ <<if $karma < 0>>Sadie making it out from the party alive was really just a fluke.

"You really did make it out in one piece, huh? Glad to see it." "Oh, hi, $name," she says, smiling more hesitantly back at you. "Yeah, I guess I did." She trails off, fidgeting a little and looking uncertain of what to say. "Maeve did say second place was supposed to get out okay, right?" you say, recalling that from before the night turned into a drunken haze. "But I guess I don't know how much she actually cared." Sadie nods with a faint smile. "I was still scared when Gigi took me up to her room, but it turned out—" She blushes deeply, squirming and averting your gaze. "Um, really much better than I expected." You feel your eyebrows raise. While a part of you is tempted to ask about that, the greater part of you is hungry and eager to take advantage of your meal's momentary distraction. So you reach out to her and grab her by the shoulders, provoking a flinch and a wide-eyed look back at you. "You know, that's great. I'm really happy for you, Sadie," you tell her, smiling wide. "Unfortunately I'm starving and you're the tastiest thing I could find, sooo..." "Huh?! Wait, no, no!" Sadie cries, starting to thrash against your grip. You slide your hands down to pin her arms and lean forward to start swallowing her head. <<elseif $trialSavedByNadia>>\ Not willing to pass up the chance of a satisfying meal, you hasten up behind Sadie as she's on her way to class, calling out to her when you're just behind. "Sadie, hey!" She jumps, whirling around and looking at you in surprise, which quickly morphs into a look of confusion. "Um, hey? Do I know you...? Oh," Her eyes widen. "Wait, you were one of the other... but I saw you get eaten by that goth girl," she mumbles, eyebrows climbing as she stares at you. "How are you still around?" "Neat trick, huh?" you reply, snickering. You decide there's no harm in telling her what happened, she's going to be your lunch anyway. "I worked it out with Nadia--the goth girl--ahead of time. I take a dive the first match, she eats me and... spits me back out back in her room." Maybe you don't have to mention the trade you made, you decide, feeling yourself blush. "Oh, so that's why you had a Hangman word with just one letter!" Sadie gasps, before pouting at you. "You got so lucky, oh my gosh. Those trials were terrifying, I still can't believe I made it out alive. And all you had to do was be inside her for a little while." "Uh, right. Lucky me," you say, laughing awkwardly. Fortunately for you, you have an easy out for the conversation before she starts to suspect anything else went on. "Speaking of being inside her, well--" You lunge in the middle of your sentence, catching her by surprise. She lets out a high-pitched yelp as you grab her around her back with one arm, pulling her in close. "Sorry, but you looked so good I just couldn't resist," you tell her, absentmindedly licking your lips and seeing her eyes fill with fear as you open your mouth. "No, stop–-!" is all she manages to get out before you press forward and shove her head into your mouth. <<else>>\ No one's around to interfere, so you sneak up quietly behind your target as she's walking and grab her with an arm around her waist, mouth stretching open wide as she yelps in surprise. You step around her for some easier positioning but don't waste time in shoving her head into your mouth, curly hair rubbing over your tongue as you quickly start packing her away. <</if>> \ But maybe you were too confident she would be an easy meal, because as you start to swallow her head she breaks your grip and lashes out with a desperation that you weren't expecting.

"Name's Claire! If you've heard some upperclassmen talking about a 'freshman champion'--that'd be me." She points one of her thumbs at herself with a wink, snickering. "Oh really? And how did you get a title like that?" you ask, taking a slight step closer. "$name, by the way." "Long story," she says, narrowing her eyes. She puts a hand on her hip and sighs.

"//*Pfft*//, no," Claire says, waving a hand dismissively at you. "What? But you just said--" "I'm her //mom's// biggest fan. You think I didn't immediately go talk to her when I found out she was here? She sucks ass," Claire explains. "Even if her mom is amazing, a brat's a brat. And Alice is a brat. Like, so much of a brat there's no way I could even bring myself to suck up to her just for a chance to meet Selene." "I see... uh, are you sure you couldn't come with me still so that I can see for myself?" you say nervously.<<else>>"There's this girl in our class that's really, um, cute... I really want to get to know her, but I'm always too nervous to talk to her alone. Could you maybe come with me to talk to her so that there's not as much pressure?" "Seriously?" Claire says with a laugh. "Yeah sorry, I've got stuff to do, I don't know you well enough for that kind of thing. Just don't be a baby and go talk to her, you'll have to do it alone eventually anyways if it was gonna go anywhere." "Right.. Um, but I could really use the help this first time," you say nervously. "Please? I promise it won't take long..."<</if>> Claire squints at you. "What's really going on here?" "I just..." you trail off. This clearly isn't working, and she's already suspicious so changing your approach to get her to come along is probably out of the question. Desperate to at least get something out of this exchange, you decide to forget about Alice for now and go back to your original plan. You lunge forward to grab her. Unfortunately, she was clearly anticipating you trying something like that. She jumps back right as you make your move, and you're only able to get a grip on one arm. You try to pull her closer with it, but she holds firm. "Knew it! I ain't goin' down that easy!" she shouts, thrashing her arm around and hitting your hand with her other one to try and break your grip.

Claire's muffled voice replies. "Yeah, //*urp*// yeah... Just brace yourself..." you grumble. You take a deep breath, then plant your hands on the underside of your belly. You push inwards and up, shaking it around a little and pushing in even harder in quick bursts until your stomach finally gets the message. The walls clamp down on her and start to push her back up into your throat. The process is uncomfortable, but luckily it isn't long before she's sprawled out on the ground in front of you, stripped down to her underwear and covered in stomach acid from her time in your stomach. "Gross... There, you happy?" you say with a cough. "I'll find someone more bratty to eat..." "Yes, thank you $name..." Claire says as she gets back on her feet. She turns to you and grins. "...for being such an idiot!" "Wha--Wait!" you shout in surprise as she lunges forward and pins you against the wall. "Heh heh, luckily there was no way you could have seen that I was crossing my fingers the entire time," she snickers, leaning in close. "Come on, I let you out! We should be even already!" you protest. The close contact is rubbing some of your own acids onto you. "Ugh, and you're so gross right now, get away!" "Oh, you don't like this? Yeah, believe me, it doesn't feel good to be covered in it," she says. Then, with a sly smile, she intentionally pushes forward and rubs her body up against yours, coating the front of you with the slime from your stomach. However, she pretty quickly pulls back again with a slight blush. "Uh, sorry, I didn't mean for that to be so sexual... but anyways: revenge!"\ <<else>>\ "You wouldn't..." you say, slowly backing away from her approach. She grins at you, then pounces forward. She gets a grip on your shoulder, pinning you to the ground and rubbing her slimy body against yours in the process. "You clearly don't know me very well, $name~" she says, still grinning. "Hey, come on! Gross!" you protest, trying to push her away. The front of your body is already coated in your own stomach acid from the contact.

You can tell she already has a good idea of why you're here, but you aren't going to back down. "What was that about?" "Oh you're not still mad about that, are you?" she says, looking annoyed. "We all thought we needed to be first if we were going to survive, and you were a way bigger threat than Sadie. Just self preservation. It was nothing personal, really." Your stomach growls. "Well neither is this!"<<else>>"Hey Claire! Funny you should ask, there is actually something I need your help with," you say, taking a step forward to close the distance.

"Little late to turn back now, I'm afraid."<</if>><<else>>"Oh hey there, almost didn't notice you!" the girl says, glancing back with a knowing look before turning to you. There's a mint green streak in her hair and a row of freckles along her cheeks. She's wearing glasses over her green eyes. "Name's Claire! If you've heard some upperclassmen talking about a 'freshman champion'--that'd be me." She points one of her thumbs at herself with a wink, snickering. "Oh really? And how did you get a title like that?" you ask, taking a slight step closer. "$name, by the way." "Long story," she says, narrowing her eyes. She puts a hand on her hip and sighs. "Listen, I've got stuff to do right now. Do we really need to do this?" Your stomach growls. "Afraid so."<</if>> You lunge forward, reaching out to try and grab her. However, she jumps back right as you make your move, and you're only able to get a grip on one arm. You try to pull her closer with it, but she holds firm. "I ain't goin' down that easy!" she shouts, thrashing her arm around and hitting your hand with her other one to try and break your grip. You try to hold firm, but the pain from her blows loosens your hold enough that your fingers start to slip. "Ha!" <</if>>"Shit..!" you say as she immediately grabs your arm. She pulls you closer with a grin, locking down your other arm before you can try to push her off. "Hey, you started it!" she snickers as you look up at her with a worried expression.\ <</if>><<if $preyName != "released">> @@color:orange;Your strength fails you.@@<</if>> She opens her mouth wide and quickly forces your head into it. Your face drags across her tongue as a warm, wet sensation wraps around you down to your neck. Then, she swallows, dragging your head into her throat. The tight walls start to slowly force you down into the depths of her body, her slick flesh rippling around you in waves. Outside, she carefully guides your body into hers, using her arms to shut down any resistance as she gulps you down bit by bit. <<if $day6ClaireReversal > 0>>Her throat squeezes you with an odd convulsion as she gets a taste of the acid she'd been rubbing on you and gags. She abandons any thought of enjoying swallowing you down and picks up the pace, cramming you down into her throat as quickly as she can.

However, she quickly abandons that approach and instead seems to just crouch down to get a better angle until she reaches your legs.

You waste no time, using your hands to guide her body out from under you as you swallow her down. A muffled roar of outrage comes from your throat as her head slides down toward your stomach, though she's not putting up much resistance. As you reach her chest, the flaw in your method of subduing her becomes clear. You get a taste of the digestive juices you've been unintentionally rubbing on her and get the urge to gag. You push through it, starting to choke her down as quickly as possible. Her chest disappears down your throat, her stomach soon following on its way to be packed into your own. <<if $outfitState != "drenched">>You notice with a bit of curiousity that she's actually still a little bloated from the built up acid that didn't follow you out, and likely what's left of some of your clothes, but it doesn't give you any trouble. <</if>> You sit up and lift her lower body overhead before your positioning gets too awkward, easily packing her legs away into your expanding belly with the assistance of gravity.

"//*UUURRRRrrp*// There," you say, resting a hand on your belly. "Finally where you //*urp*// belong..." With your skin still slick with her digestive fluids, your bulging gut is shining like it's been polished under the hallway lights. You aren't looking forward to sitting here marinating in the aftermath of your escape while you deal with her, but revenge is worth the discomfort. "I can't believe you!

She falls backward with a surprised yelp as you tackle her to the floor, winding up looming over her with your hands on her shoulders. "Ugh, fuck off!" she grunts. Though you have her shoulders locked down, she's still able to give you a pretty hard punch to the gut. You wince and pull back reflexively, giving her a moment to scramble out from under you. But, she flips onto her stomach to try and get up faster instead of immediately backing away, and you take advantage of her mistake. You grab both of her legs, kneeling as you yank her back towards you. @@color:yellowgreen;You overpowered your prey.@@ "Hey, no fair!" she shouts, nearly faceplanting onto the tile floor as the sudden pull back makes her arms give out. Conveniently, her sandals fell off after your initial tackle, so you don't need to waste a second. You lift her feet up to your head and slide them into your mouth, quickly pulling her in up to her ankles. It's a bit risky starting from this end, but the resistance she's managed to put up is worrying--you can't afford to pass on an opportunity to get her packed away. "Ugh, gross!" Claire grumbles, trying to kick her legs. With your lips advancing past her knees, she isn't able to accomplish much. "Come on you weirdo, everyone knows you start with the head!" You ignore her, pulling her toward you and swallowing her down bit by bit, your grip advancing up her body as she disappears down your throat. When you go to grab her hips, she reaches back to try and intercept your hands. But, you react quickly, flipping the tables on her by snatching her wrists before she can get a good grip on you. You pull on her and lean back at the same time, shifting her to be above you. Her hips easily pop into your mouth with the added assistance of gravity. "Woah! Uh, that... that was actually pretty smooth, I can't lie," she says, squirming against your grip. "But also, fuck you!" You start to move faster, your lips gliding up her stomach as your belly begins to clearly bulge out with her thrashing legs. As more of her disappears, it starts to get difficult to maintain your grip on her arms, so you risk repositioning. You let go of her, immediately shfting your hands to her armpits. You push up and hold tight to force her to keep her arms raised, slowly shifting your grip up as you drag more of her down into your body to prevent her from being able to get any leverage. Soon her chest disappears down your throat, then another swallow brings her in up to her neck. "Who knew it was actually way worse this way..." she grumbles just before your lips slide over her face. You leisurely suck in her flailing, outstretched arms, a few more swallows sending them down to join the rest of her. "//*UUURRRRRRP!*// Not quite as planned, but //*Urrp*// you really hit the spot!" you say with a contented sigh, patting your bloated belly as the last of her settles into it. <<if !$ateAshley>>"Does this make //me// the //*urp*// 'freshman champion' now?" you add, giving your gut a teasing poke.<</if>> "Hey, for the record, you fucking //suck//!" Claire growls, kicking to life in your stomach. You'd noticed that things felt a little strange in your gut, and now as you watch the shifting bulges, you can see why--the odd angle of entry left her resting upside down. Though, her current burst of energy seems to be focused on correcting that. "Having to watch yourself sink into someone is awful..." she grunts. "And now I'm all turned around in your stupid stomach..." "Hey! Rude--my stomach's pretty smart," you say, giving her a light squeeze.\ <</if>> You can feel all of her movement causing some pressure to build up inside of you. With a grin, you intentionally force out a belch to alleviate it. You're caught off guard by a slight scraping against your throat, then a clattering noise accompanying the burp that escapes you lips. Resting on the ground in front of you are Claire's glasses, dripping with saliva. "Ha!

You just give your belly a condescending pat when she finally stops. "All //*urp*// done now?" you say with a grin, giving your belly a poke. It already feels like it's softening. "Yeah... yeah..." Claire admits. You can faintly hear her panting inside of you, her body still as she resigns herself to the grinding of your stomach walls. "Damn it..."

Her current frustration level is added to the damage she does with this -if you do, her next action is to brace, then to do a normal struggle the following turn no matter what -after either "branch" completes, she goes back to the initial probe as her next action -when she's on one health she'll start to panic too much and just normal struggle every turn instead of being strategic -this is a rare case where you can purely beenefit from taunting, once. If she's 'ahead' in the struggle(you're below half health and she's still at 3 or 4), if you taunt her she will waste a turn counter-taunting you from inside your gut. She takes no action that turn(classify as rest), it resets her 'loop' back to probe for the next turn, and her frustration goes back to 0. This only happens the first time, then things go back to normal reactions if _attackPhase is 0, she probes and it adds +1 to it -if _attackPhase is 1 and you didn't squeeze or crush, she does her special move and this resets to 0 -if its 1 and you did, she braces and it gets +1 again -if its >1 she struggles and it resets to 0 -planning ahead, if this is reversal where you escaped from her first, she will start with some exhaustion. Her first action is still a struggle(likely with a different message), but then she's exhausted enough to just rest the next two turns -in this version, if she gets any frustration she'll rage first before going to her usual loop -this resets _attackPhase to 0 -otherwise she does still act the same once the initial exhaustion passes (The first probe will likely have a different message though) -also given the reversal aspect, I think unique messages on the player end will pretty much be reserved for that version of the scene.

Her skin has a rich and slightly sweet flavor to it, almost like strawberries. You lick at her cheeks as you gulp down her head, holding her arms tight to her sides as she strains against your grip. Her writhing around to try and wriggle free just rubs in more of her taste. Deciding not to mess around too much, you cram her shoulders in and with a few strong swallows pull her in down to her upper arms, though you have to pause briefly when her full bust presses against your lips. Tongue flicking out into her cleavage, you decide to deal with this obstacle in the most obvious way, grasping her breasts with both hands and squishing them down. You let yourself enjoy their plush softness for a little longer than needed before one of her flailing hands slaps your cheek, and with a wince you quickly gulp her chest and upper arms fully into you. Her tank top doesn't taste nearly as good as her, so you tug its hem up to expose more skin. You're not disappointed as you continue swallowing her down, feeling her wriggling as you lick her soft midriff. Anticipating a similar problem, you grab her butt as her hips reach your mouth, squishing it past your lips far more easily than her chest. She's pretty much stopped struggling by now, probably wanting to save her energy, so you meet no resistance pulling in the rest of her legs.

She might have put up more of a fight than you expected, but in the end she was no match for you and your gut. After going a while without feeling any movement from your belly, you curiously run your hands along it, your fingers gently squishing into the soft flesh. You press in harder to check that for sure that she's just mush now, finding no resistance and only a wet squelching sound in response. "//*BUURAAAP!*//" A loud belch escapes your lips as your squeezing kicks up some air. Then they curl into a grin at the telltale sign your prey is gone. "Aaah, that was great.

You grunt as you push yourself to your feet, your gut making a satisfying sloshing noise as it sways gently, full of the slop that used to be Sadie.

Sadie squeals, thrashing against your grip. "$name, please!" Alice laughs under her breath, then goes to sit down at a nearby bench. She beckons for you to follow with a finger. "Get to it then," she says, opening her mouth. You drag Sadie over to her, flanked by Betty and Cassidy. You pause for a moment, unsure of how exactly you should go about this, but with Sadie fighting to get out and the situation starting to feel increasingly awkward as you stand staring at the inside of her mouth, you decide to just go for it. Pulling Sadie in front of you, you start to force her head towards Alice's impatiently waiting mouth. "<<print $name.toUpperCase()>>! STOP!" Sadie screams, trying her best to pull away as her head inches closer to her fate, the warmth of Alice's breath washing across her face. Her struggling is in vain, as soon the top of her head begins to push past the threshold of her lips and into the wet cavern beyond. "Please, don't do thi--!" You force the rest of Sadie's head into Alice's mouth, your fingertips briefly slipping past her lips before you pull your hand back. She's sitting calmly, giving you an almost bored expression while you do all of the heavy lifting. You shift your grip and lift Sadie up to get a better angle, Alice finally starting to swallow once you've pushed her forward a little bit more. She motions for you to hurry it up, narrowing her eyes a little. You sigh, starting to feel embarrassed not only to be doing this in the first place, but doing it in such a public location. But it's a little late to change your mind now. Sadie does her best to try and struggle free from your grip as you hold her steady, slowly feeding her to the raven-haired girl you're so desperate to impress. Sadie's bust gives you some difficulty due to Alice's complete lack of participation in the process, progress slowing to a crawl once she's in up to her chest. You shift your positioning a little to pin her with one arm while you use the other to knead her breasts down until you're able to squeeze them into Alice's mouth. She's nearly able to break away from you with the extra thrashing kicked up in response, but soon enough you regain a firm hold on her Alice swallows her down slowly but surely, lazily sitting back while you guide her prey into her mouth. Her neck bulges out as Sadie slides down her throat and into the waiting pit of her stomach. You can already see her shirt starting to ride up as her belly gradually expands with Sadie's writhing form, though her struggling has started to slow now that only her lower body remains outside. With a firm push, you squeeze her rear into Alice's mouth, all but sealing her fate. "There... one plump freshman girl, hand delivered and served," you say, still holding Sadie by the ankles as her legs sink into Alice. You smile. "Satisfactory?" <<if ($aliceMin < -1) and ($playerSize < 6)>>\ You keep guiding Sadie forward until barely more than her feet remain outside, feeling like Alice can probably handle things on her own from there. But when you let go and start to pull your hands away, Alice's snap forward and grab your wrists. Her lips curl into a smile as Sadie's toes slip between them. "Hey, what the fuck!?" you say, attempting to pull away from her. Cassidy and Betty grab you from either side, completely locking you down. Alice just smirks, then leans forward a little as the last sign of Sadie slips down behind her chest. "//*UUURRRRRP!*//" She lets out a loud belch right in your face--it carries the oddly sweet scent of Sadie's shampoo for a moment before the acrid stench of the inside of a stomach overwhelms it. "Mmm, she was actually excellent prey, $name, well done. For once. Unfortunately..." Alice grins and licks her lips. "She wasn't quite filling enough. I hope you're ready to correct that mistake.~" [[You can't be serious..!->Lure Sadie- Eaten by Alice]]\ <<else>>\ Alice stares intensely at you, then motions for you to let go. She tilts her head back and gulps down the last of Sadie's legs, her toes soon disappearing between her ruby lips. You watch the bulge in Alice's throat shift down until it disappears. Soon, the last of her prey curls up into her bloated gut, which quickly kicks to life with outraged struggling. "//*UUURRRRRP!*// Mmm, she was actually excellent prey..." Alice muses. She snaps her fingers. "Cassidy!" "Yep, on it!" Cassidy chirps. She kneels down and starts to rub Alice's writhing belly. Alice gives you a cold stare for a moment, then nods her head. "I suppose you're not entirely useless after all, $name," she says. "Your service was adequate." "You're welcome," you say. You find yourself feeling a little jealous as you watch Cassidy dilligently soothe her belly while she sits back and relaxes, having never lifted a finger for the meal she's enjoying. "Mmh. Maybe I'll have use for you again," Alice says. "But for now you can go." She makes a shooing motion with her hand. You almost blurt out: "That's it?", but bite your tongue, getting the feeling that would reset the slight progress you managed to make here. "Of course," you sigh. "Enjoy the meal." "Bye $name, have a good day!" Cassidy calls after you as you start to walk back toward Karbo.

Eventually, you decide to simply give up, having only ever run into a large group leaving class. Even though it hasn't been that long since lunch, feeding Alice and watching her lazily enjoy such a filling meal has really worked up your appetite, so you decide to just head to dinner.<<if $emmaInjured>> You feel your phone vibrate as you start to walk--It's a text from Emma, explaining that she took a trip into town with Sunny and will be back later.<</if>> [[Head to dinner->September 6th- Dinner Check]]\ <<set $alicePrey.push({name: "Sadie", status: "fodder", details: "who you personally fed to her"})>>\ <</if>>

"Are you kidding me?" you growl, vainly thrashing against Betty and Cassidy's grip. "You seriously think you can<<if $eatenByAlice and !$tourMandy>>..." you start to say, trailing off as you remember your encounter with her the first day. She certainly //can// at least fit you in her stomach alongside Sadie. "Ugh, get off me!"<<else>> even fit me in there?" "She sure seems to think so, and I'm so glad //you're// the one we're testing with," Betty chuckles.<</if>> "I hope you didn't honestly think I'd //*urp*// forgive you so easily," Alice sneers. "But you're so pathetic that it's not hard to believe you did." "This is ridiculous, let me go!" you shout. Alice opens her mouth and pulls your hands in in response, your fingers dragging against the warm, slick surface of her tongue. "Alice, you bitch! I'm gonna make you pay for this!" Your protesting is useless, however. Betty and Cassidy have you completely locked down, and already your arms are disappearing down Alice's gullet, wrapped tight by the shifting flesh of her throat as you're dragged deeper and deeper. All you can do is glare at Alice as your face inches closer to her mouth, until your head, too, is swallowed into the dark confines of her body. "What the heck is going on out there?" you hear a muffled voice shout. "Can you just--huh? HEY!" Your hands start to push forward into Alice's stomach, immediately meeting some resistance as they brush against the slimy hair of her first prey. As you're forced down by a strong swallow from Alice, you inadvertently shove Sadie's head against the walls of her stomach. She lets out an outraged grunt and starts to squirm into a better position. "Are you kidding me!? Is that $name?" Sadie says, managing to grab your wrists to hold you back away from her. "You JERK! You... you big, awful, mean... ugh, you lied to me just to //feed me// to some girl! What kind of asshole--Aah!" Another swallow from Alice easily breaks Sadie's grip and forces your hands to slam down onto her again. It feels like they're pressed against her face now. "Ugh, you're just making everything even worse! You..! You know what?" Sadie growls. She pulls at your hands... and a moment later you feel the now-familiar sensation of a tongue licking at your fingers. With your head still stuck in Alice's throat, you're unable to voice any kind of protest. Alice swallows again, pushing past your chest, and so does Sadie, pulling your hands down into her throat. You squirm even harder against the hands holding you outside in pure desperation. "Ha! Looks like she's not a fan of having a roommate in there," Betty laughs, noticing the increasing urgency of your movements. "Aw, I feel like it would make it more fun though!" Cassidy chimes in. The two of them continue to feed you into Alice's mouth, their grip shifting lower on your body and starting to lift you up higher as her lips advance past your waist. Inside, Sadie is just as relentless, your face already crammed down into the tight embrace of a second throat. She's managed to position herself in a way where every time Alice swallows, you're pushed right into her mouth, almost like you're being squeezed down a single, extra long esophagus. You feel your hands push into Sadie's stomach while your thighs start to sink into Alice. Their combined efforts drag you deeper and deeper down the shifting tunnel of flesh, your arms soon curling up into the slimy embrace of Sadie's gut. Things become very tight very quickly and the pace of your descent slows, the pressure from Alice's stomach resisting her prey's growing belly squeezing in on you. Still, bit by bit you're forced deeper into the two girls, your body forcibly packed into Sadie's stomach. It isn't much longer before you feel your feet get pulled between Alice's lips and slide down her throat, sealing you away from the outside world. Your legs are dragged down by ripples of pressure flowing through the flesh surrounding them, only to be immediately swallowed up by yet another hungry mouth when they reach their destination. You can faintly feel Alice lean back as your feet slip out of her throat and down into Sadie's. "//*UUURrrrrrp*// Ahh, perfect..." Alice sighs. Her voice is extremely muffled, barely audible over the various groans and gurgles from not only her own stomach, but Sadie's as well. "A delicious appetizer fed to me by the main course... //*urp*// you're finally right where you belong, $name." "Damn, you really can fit them both..." you faintly hear Betty say. "But why does it look like--" "//*UUrrrp!*// Hah... hah... there..." Sadie huffs as the last of your body is squeezed down into her stomach. You're packed in tight, barely able to move with the intense pressure of being two stomachs deep. "Holy shit...!" Betty says, bursting out laughing. You feel a slight extra pressure push against your side. "Yeah, that first girl fucking ate her inside your gut!" "Ha! I knew something felt a little off. Incredible," Alice says, joining Betty in laughing. "What an absolutely //perfect// ending for her! Still destined to pad out my flawless body without even getting the honor of being directly //*urp*// digested by it..." "SADIE, you fucking //IDIOT!//" you shout, squirming as hard as you can against the tight grip of the walls kneading against you. "What the hell were you thinking!?" "Hey, shut up! I was //thinking// that you're an awful person that deserves to get digested!" Sadie says. You feel some slight movement rubbing against you, but you get the feeling she isn't able to move well enough to really interact with you. "Seriously, who feeds someone to a girl that //*urp*// doesn't even like them! You're disgusting!" "Yeah, sure, you can be mad, but how do you plan to get out of this now, dumbass! You doomed us both!" you growl, still thrashing against the walls as best you can in frustration. "Even if you can somehow fight well enough to upset her stomach like this, how do you plan on fitting up her throat with me in here? We could have easily overpowered her if we were both struggling!" "O-Oh..." Sadie says, clearly only just now realizing the predicament. "I didn't.... Ugh, this is still your fault! I never would have--" "//*UURRP!*// Mmm, Cassidy, you massage too," you faintly hear Alice say. You start to feel a slight, shifting pressure pushing in on you from either side, some of the belly rub Alice must be getting making it down to you. "I want to enjoy this..." You and Sadie keep bickering while Alice gets to delight in her oversized meal, each blaming the other for the current predicament. All the while you thrash against the walls of her stomach as well as you can, but you're already running out of steam. Fighting against the resistance of two stomachs is far too draining, and with the overly constricting embrace you're held in you don't feel like you're even making any progress. As the chamber starts to fill with acid and the gurgling sounds become so overwhelming that you can't even hear anyone outside anymore, you give up. You're completely exhausted, and even if it were possible to escape Sadie, you'd still have to overcome a second stomach that's already just as active. You give one last futile push to the flesh in front of you, then lean back and let yourself drift off into the churning of Sadie's gut. Sadie hugs her belly tight, unable to do much else in the tight embrace of Alice's heavily stretched stomach. She sighs to herself, tearing up a little as she thinks about the string of poor decisions that led her here. At least her prey finally stopped struggling, and she can take some solace in being able to digest the person that caused all this herself. The constant massage from outside manages to soothe her own gut as well, the slick walls rubbing gently against her stretched skin. She oddly feels almost comfortable as her consciousness starts to fade. Alice leans back against the courtyard bench with a look of bliss on her face, her massively distended gut hanging in front of her and pressing against her thighs. Her two lackies rub and massage her softening flesh, the bulges outlining her stuffed prey slowly fading as digestion rounds out her belly. Before long, what remains of you is mixed with what Alice's stomach churned Sadie into, the two of you becoming an indistinguishable slurry of nutrients for the more dominant predator. A loud belch escapes Alice's lips, then she sinks even further back into the bench with a contented sigh, more satisfied than she could have imagined with how the end of her first week turned out. <<include "Life Lost">>

<<Time 17.5>>You make your way upstairs and head for the dining hall, crossing through the bridge over to Lampton instead of making the trek outside. Through the windows, you can see that the sky seems to have finally cleared up--just in time for the sun to be setting. You continue on through the halls and down into the cafeteria, finding it almost empty. Most people with the means probably went out into town instead of settling for dining hall food now that the weekend is here. Making your way over to the buffet line, you discover that the school is probably aware of this being a less popular day. There's an assortment of food in varying quantity that must have been leftovers that didn't get cooked earlier in the week: burgers, pizza, pasta, even some waffles. You put a few things that look good on your plate, then head for one of the many empty tables. Nearly having the whole place to yourself, you sit and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere while you eat your meal. You pass the time scrolling through your phone between bites, and wind up staying a fair bit longer than it took you to eat. But, <<if $day6SunnyHelpWithBetty>>you want to make sure you're at the dorm when Sunny gets back, so you get up and head for the door.<<elseif $tabletopMeetup>>you suddenly remember that you'd made plans with Leah and some of the girls in Tabletop Club for tonight, and it's nearly the time Nikki had said to be at her dorm.

Um, but it's already pretty late, I doubt we'll be able to find her just out and around at this hour... plus, Sunny isn't even--" She's interrupted by a rapid knock at the door. "Guess who?" Sunny's voice snickers from the hall. You give Emma a smirk, then head over to let her in. "Hey Sunny!" "Hey hey!" she says, pointing finger guns at you and Emma. "Got the shopping squared away quick as I could. You guys ready for a good 'ol bully hunt?" "Absolutely! You've got perfect timing," you reply. "Of course I do," Sunny says, grinning and snapping her fingers. "Em, you all good?" "Um, yeah..." Emma says, fidgeting a little as she gets to her feet. "Let's go look for her then." Sunny glances at you, then back at Emma. "I know you're not big on random snacking, but isn't this girl a bully? What's up?" Emma shakes her head, then smiles. "No, you're right, Betty's been awful every time I've met her," she says. "I'm just not normally so... proactive, with something like this. I'm a little nervous, honestly," she explains with a slight chuckle. "Hey no worries, I get it. But that just makes this more important!" Sunny says. "At //this// school, you've gotta make it clear you shouldn't be messed with if you wanna last.

"Let's go." [[Go find Betty->September 6th- Hunt Betty with Sunny]]\ <<else>><<if $emmaInjured>>You head over to your bed and get comfortable, leaning back against the wall.

It was clear earlier that, even though she's hesitant to do something about her herself, Betty is really getting under Emma's skin and could be a problem for her<<if $eatenByBetty>>... not to mention you'd still like to get back at her for what happened earlier in the week yourself<</if>>.

<<Time 18.25>>You hurry upstairs, heading to the end of the hallway by the bridge. Arriving at the door to Room L201, you pause for just a moment to mentally confirm you're at the right place, then knock. There's no response at first, but just as you're about to knock again the door swings open. "Ugh, finally, you're late," Nikki says, giving you a grumpy look. She turns and heads inside without another word. You pause for a moment outside with a slight frown, then sigh and follow her into the room. It's arranged a bit awkwardly, the bed on the left turned to lay horizontally instead, leaving only a small space to pass into the room between it and the one on the right. There's a TV facing the turned bed, however, and it does make for a much more comfortable setup for a group with the full length of the mattress available to sit on. Leah and Tara are already inside playing a match of <<if $leahHangout>>//Guts and Glory//<<else>>some fighting game<</if>> together. "$name's finally here," Nikki says, sitting down at the far end of the bed next to the wall. "Hopefully she's a little better..." "Hey guys, sorry I'm late!" you say, taking a seat next to Leah in the only open spot. "Hey $name! I was starting to get worried," Leah says with a nervous laugh. "Um, we're just teaching Tara how to play right now." <<if $leahHangout>>\ "Not that it's helping her at all," Nikki sneers. She watches the fight between Leah and Tara for a moment, then rolls her eyes and throws up a hand. "Come on, you should have countered that! Anemone has the easiest fucking counter timing in the game..." "S-Sorry, I'm still learning I don't even know how..." Tara mumbles. "Also hi $name I should have said that before I don't want to be rude so... um... sorry..." "It's, uh, it's okay, we'll practice for a bit. Here, you just hit B while moving toward the attack if you're trying to counter..." Leah says, showing Tara on the controller. Nikki is tapping her foot impatiently and you decide to try and keep her occupied while the other two play. "So, is your roommate cool with you reorganizing the room like this for tonight?" "What? Nah I didn't change it for you three, it's always like this," Nikki replies. "I ate my roommate day one. She was super annoying and having a single dorm seemed like it would be nice. And it is," she says with a smirk. "Ah... Well, this is a pretty good setup honestly," you say. On the screen, you watch as Leah's character, a fox girl wielding a fan, swallows Tara's, a white haired angel. The character's belly writhes as Tara mashes the button to escape, but her health reaches zero and the struggling fades out. Once her belly is still, the words "GUTTED" appear over the screen in stylized text, accompanied by a belch from Leah's character. "Oh... but, um, I think I'm really starting to get it! Thanks Leah!" Tara says. "Sorry I'm not the best teacher," Leah replies with a nervous laugh. "Finally!" Nikki says. "Tutorial's over then, no take backs. Hand over the controller, I wanna see if $name's worth my time." "Hey, no need to be so intense," you say, taking the controller that Leah offers you. "I've only played a little bit before." "Well don't cry when I mop the floor with you then," Nikki snickers. She chooses a character just seconds after getting the controller from Tara--a grinning cyan slimegirl. You sigh as you scroll through the selection screen yourself, already dreading the match ahead. It's obvious Nikki is very competitive, and she clearly just skipped straight to using her main. You know you don't stand a chance with just a couple hours of playing with Leah under your belt. "Um, Anemone is who you mostly used last time," Leah chimes in, noticing your hesitation. "Right..." you say, taking her advice and using the character you're familiar with.\ <<else>>\ "Oh perfect, I have no idea what this game is. I could use some pointers too," you say with a laugh. "Ugh, not you too..." Nikki grumbles. "Why did I even invite you guys if the AI can give me a better challenge." "If I remember right you said you wanted some people to 'cream' in person," you reply. "Isn't two newbies perfect then?" "You know actually, that's a good point!" Nikki laughs. "It's more fun when you're actually close to putting up a fight though." On the screen, you watch as Leah's character, a fox girl wielding a fan, swallows Tara's, a white haired angel. The character's belly writhes as Tara mashes the button to escape, but her health reaches zero and the struggling fades out. Once her belly is still, the words "GUTTED" appear over the screen in stylized text, accompanied by a belch from Leah's character. "Oh... but, um, I think I'm really starting to get it! Thanks Leah!" Tara says. "Okay good, finally, pass the controller to $name," Nikki says. "$name just use the same character and get right to it, even a baby could understand her kit. I don't want to spend much longer on giving a tutorial." Despite Nikki's insistence on just rolling with the character Tara had, Leah gives you a brief explanation of all the characters before starting the practice match. She also explains what the game actually is: //Guts and Glory//, a vore based fighting game created in response to an unusual lack of it in traditional fighting games. Then she gives you time to work out the controls, giving pointers and a quick rundown of general strategies. Nikki also chimes in with some 'help' while Leah teaches you, but it's usually so rushed and oddly aggressive that it's more confusing than anything. By the end of the match you've gotten a pretty good feel for the game, though even in laid back teaching mode Leah mopped the floor with you. "Okay got everything? Good, finally, give me your controller Leah," Nikki says. She chooses a character just seconds after the handoff--a grinning cyan slimegirl. "I'll see if she actually learned anything." You sigh as you scroll through the selection screen yourself, already dreading the match ahead. It's obvious Nikki is very competitive, and she clearly just skipped straight to using her main. You know you don't stand a chance having quite literally just learned how to play. Since it's the only one you have any familiarity with, you settle on just using the same character you'd been playing as.<</if>> Predictably, you get absolutely thrashed. In the first round, you barely even land a hit on her and spend most of the fight in her character's stomach, ultimately getting digested. You fare a little better in the next and feel like you're starting to figure her out, only for her to change tactics and start spamming some move where her character turns into a wave of slime and slides across the ground, becoming almost impossible to hit. You can't keep up and get overwhelmed; the match is a blowout. "Okay, that was pretty cheap at the end there..." you grumble. "But, good game! You really kicked my ass fair and square that first round." "Yeah, yeah, too easy. Don't make excuses just 'cause you got creamed," Nikki says with a grin. "Who's next? Loser hands off their controller." You pass your controller back to Leah, who manages to give Nikki a run for her money but ultimately loses in the third round. She passes it off to Tara, who predictably gets annihilated, and you don't fare much better when it comes back to you. Things play out pretty much the same on the next loop around. There's an uncomfortable atmosphere in the room rather than the fun game night you were expecting, Leah and Tara barely talking at this point. However, on her next go Leah manages to eek out a win against Nikki. She isn't the most gracious loser, as could be expected, and claims that Leah just got lucky, but does honor her own rules and passes the controller off to Tara. The mood quickly improves despite Leah being a similarly insurmountable opponent for you and Tara to face. Even Nikki joins in on the chatting that picks up without being a grump, making you hopeful she was actually humbled by her loss. Those hopes are dashed as soon as Leah beats her a second time. She snaps at her, complaining the character she used is bullshit, and passes the controller to Tara so aggressively she flinches. Leah handily wins the first round of her next match against Tara, but shortly into the second she glances over at you, then starts to play much more defensively. "Defensively" turns into "just plain bad" as both of them get lower on health, until she reaches the point where she's pretty much just standing still in front of Tara's character without attacking. Tara, of course, swallows her and wins with a digestion finisher, seeming genuinely excited to have won for once. Unfortunately... "What the fuck was that!?" Nikki shouts. "That was the most obvious throw I've ever seen, she didn't deserve that win!" "Sorry, I, um, I got distracted," Leah says with a shrug. She looks nervous. "It's Tara and $name's turn now." "Bullshit! She's gotta earn it if she wants to keep her spot. Give me the controller, you both lost." "Ugh, can you chill the fuck out?" you snap. "We're trying to have fun here. We know you're good, losing because you were messing around or giving other people a chance won't kill you." "Oh shut up, you're just mad 'cause you're trash!" Nikki shouts back. "And it's no wonder, if you're not giving it your all every match you'll never improve." You roll your eyes. "Weird that Leah beat you twice then, since she's nice enough to let Tara enjoy herself." Nikki clenches her fists. "She just got lucky, plus she keeps using a broken character. I can beat all of you, easily." She smirks. "You know what? I'll prove it. Let's do a tournament." "Fine by me, at least everyone will get a chance to play." "And a tourney's no fun without stakes, so..." Nikki says, looking straight at you with a grin. "Let's say winner gets to eat last place." Everyone is silent for a moment, then Tara speaks up. "Um, but doesn't Morgan have a rule against eating club members? And no matter who loses it would be a club member plus--" "Oh don't be a baby!" Nikki groans. "You wanted fun right? Everything's more fun with a bit of risk, and this way you chumps won't have an excuse to not take it seriously." "You know what? I'm in," you say, narrowing your eyes at her. "Well... alright then," Leah says, looking a little flustered. "Oh, uh, if everyone else is on board then I'd hate to be..." Tara mumbles, shifting in her seat with an intensely nervous look on her face. "...s-sure." "Perfect," Nikki says with a laugh. "Alright since you were talking smack $name, you and me are going first. Then Tara and Leah can fight, then you two losers," she gestures to you and Tara, "can work out who's gonna be a midnight snack before I kick Leah's butt." "You don't decide the second bracket ahead of time," you say flatly. "Yeah but you know that's how it's gonna go down," Nikki snickers. She naturally chooses the same slimegirl character she's been using all night as soon as the controller is passed off to her. "Just pick your character so we can get this over with." You sigh and scroll through the character select screen. After your first match, you'd swapped to another character on a whim, a yellow lizard girl in a bomber jacket named Mangra. You've been enjoying her and feel like you've gotten a pretty good handle on her moveset at this point, but you've also already lost to Nikki while using her multiple times. You pause on another character while considering switching it up--a witch named Maja. You remember Leah mentioned she was tricky to use, but the main ability her kit is built around hinders your opponent's mobility, which could be the perfect counter to how Nikki's been playing... [[Stick with what you know and choose Mangra->Tabletop Hangout- Win]] [[Risk mixing things up for the counterpick and choose Maja->Tabletop Hangout- Lose]]

"Hey, there's nothing to worry about if you eat them first," Sam chuckles.<</if>>\ <<done>><<toggleclass "#continue" "hide">><</done>>\ <</if>>\ \ The two of you slowly make a loop around the courtyard, idly chatting while keeping your eyes peeled for potential prey. For a while things are quiet, the only other person you come across being a particularly tough looking girl heading to the dining hall from the gym. Even Sam had no interest in trying to deal with her without a good reason. As the evening air grows colder and night starts to settle in, you move towards the fountain to sit at one of the benches and keep watch for a while instead. "Oh hey, what about her?" you say, nodding at a girl coming out of the dining hall. She's a fairly tall girl with orange hair that you're pretty sure you recognize from one of your classes, though it's hard to tell for sure in the low light. Sam glances over at her for a moment. "Mmm nope, don't like redheads." "What?" you reply, giving her a confused look. She shrugs, smirking a little. "What?" "Why does being a redhead matter? You're eating them, you won't even see it for long." The girl seems to overhear your conversation and starts to move faster on her way towards Karbo. "Ha, it's weird, right? But I'm dead serious," Sam says. She smirks and pats her belly. "Not me personally that cares, it's my stomach--I've gotten really bad heartburn every time I've eaten one. No clue how that works, but I don't question it." "Huh..." is all you can say in response. <<set $samInfo10 to 1>> Having passed up the opportunity, the two of you continue searching, getting up to pace around again after a while. A few large groups pass through, one coming from the dining hall but the others seemingly returning from a trip off campus. Sam insists she could get away with grabbing one even while they're grouped up, but says it isn't worth the hassle. Eventually, she spots someone coming out of Karbo and points her out to you. "There we go, that's the one," she says in a hushed tone. "Nice and filling. You go talk to her and I'll sneak up from behind..." You nod and the two of you split up, Sam taking a side path that will loop back around to the girl while you go to approach her directly. She's a bit taller than you, and clearly overweight: her gut sticks out a fair bit, with arms and legs thick enough to tell you she isn't just on the tail end of digesting someone. She has dark skin and black hair that falls down to her shoulders. "Hey, I'm $name!" you say, stopping in front of her and giving a quick wave. The girl blinks at you. "And? What do you want?" "Uh... just saying hello..." you say. You glance down, noticing that her shirt says: "Every time you mention my weight, the problem just gets worse" with the outline of a skull inside a stomach drawn below it. You clear your throat and take a slight step back. "What are you doing out here this late?" The girl crosses her arms and gives you an annoyed look. "Just out for a walk. Can you move? Or do I have to eat you?" You notice Sam creeping up behind her. "I don't think you'll be the one doing the eating." The girl scoffs. "Cute. You think you can--" She's cut off as Sam grabs her from behind and shoves her head into her mouth. The girl lets out a muffled yell and thrashes against her grip, but you rush in to assist in locking her down. Sam moves quickly despite her size, pulling in her shoulders then packing away the girl's sizeable chest in just a few swallows. Her belly gives her a bit of trouble, seeming to get stuck for a moment before slowly squeezing down her throat. Once it's on its way, you help Sam lift the hefty girl's legs up overhead, and the rest of her goes down easy. "//*UUuurrp!*// Ah, that hit the spot," Sam says with a sigh. She smacks the side of her heavily bloated gut. "I was getting //really// hungry after //*urp*// this took so long, a big girl like you was just what I needed.~" <<if $fat > 49>>She glances over at you and her eyes widen for a moment. "Uh, no offense $name..." You squint at her. "Why would I be--"<</if>> "Oh come on!" the girl inside her shouts, the bulges in Sam's stomach starting to shift with her struggling. "Ugh, at least eating me for it is a change of pace from the usual fat jokes..." "There you go, silver lining," Sam snickers. She waddles over to the nearest bench, dropping down to sit on it hard enough that it creaks under her weight. "Careful, that extra weight she was packing isn't just gonna disappear," you tease, taking a seat next to her. <<if $fat > 34>>"Trust me," you add, poking your own flabby gut with a slight frown.<</if>> <<if $samPrey.length > 1>>"After this week, I'm gonna //*urp*// have to spend some time at the gym anyways," she replies with a sigh, though she's grinning.<<else>>"I'll probably survive having to spend a little //*urp*// time at the gym," she replies.<</if>> "I'll need the extra help if I ever want some growth up top anyways..." "What do you mean?" Sam sighs. "For some reason whatever weight I gain from prey pretty much never ends up on my chest.

"Heh, thanks."<<else>>," you say. She just shrugs at you.<</if>><</if>> The two of you keep chatting while the girl in Sam's stomach desperately tries to break free. Though her size and tacky shirt implied she was a competent predator, she proved to be lacking as prey. Sam barely seems bothered by her struggling, only giving her an occasional squeeze to keep her in line. Before long, her belly goes still and starts to soften, the two of you barely even noticing her prey's demise. As the conversation starts to wind down, you're reminded of Emma's party tomorrow.

You raise an eyebrow, realizing what she means too late to react as she lunges forward and grabs you. "S-Sam wait!" you try to protest. She completely ignores you, not hesitating for a second as she pulls you forward and forces your head into her mouth. Her grip on your arms is painfully tight as she begins to swallow you down, practically cramming you into her throat as her lips advance down your neck and over your shoulders. You wriggle pathetically against the flesh around you in a useless attempt to avoid your fate. She moves quickly, pulling your chest into the warm confines of her body just seconds after she started. Getting a rough grip on your thighs, she hoists you up overhead to finish the job with the assistance of gravity. <<if $fat > 34>>She seems to stumble for a moment as she hefts up your weight, but she recovers quickly and you feel the disorienting sensation of her going on the move.

Through the windows, you can see that the sky seems to have finally cleared up--just in time for the sun to be setting. As you're walking through Lampton, you hear a door swing open behind you.

"What the fuck, get off me!" you shout. With her briefly weakened grip, you manage to make a little progress pulling your arms free. Thinking fast while you have the advantage, you stomp on one of her feet, breaking away while she recoils from the pain. "OW! Motherfucker!" the girl cries out. You turn around to face your assailent, finding yourself face to face with... Olivia, from way back at the start of the week. She looks furious, even after recovering from the blow to her foot. You also notice that she isn't wearing pants, just a tank top and underwear... "You're gonna pay extra for that..." she growls. "You think I was really gonna let you just go around embarrassing me? Come here!" "Excuse me!?" you say, ducking out of the way as she lunges toward you. "What the fuck are you talking about?" "Don't play dumb, some girl I've never met before knew all about that bit of fun me and Cherry had Monday...

This time you shove her back after your evasion, heading for the door while she catches herself on one of the beds. "You're crazy!" You rush out into the hall, more interested in remaining uneaten than finding out what's gotten her riled up. You don't remember telling anyone about that incident that would be spreading it around like that, certainly not in the boastful way she apparently heard it, but there's no time to worry about that now. The sound of footsteps behind you tells you that she's giving chase, so you keep running, hurrying down the stairs into the dining hall.

<<Time 18>>You push and kick and shove against the walls of Olivia's stomach with all your might, refusing to get digested over something you didn't even do. The flesh surrounding you starts to shudder and writhe in odd ways, spurring you on to push even harder. You feel Olivia wrap her arms around her belly. "No way..." she grumbles. Come on, just stay down you--" She's cut off mid-sentence as one lucky push manages to find the entrance to her throat, and your arm thrusts up into her esophagus. The walls clamp down hard around you as she gasps from the intrusion, her stomach having had enough and quickly starting to force the rest of you out. You're pushed back and forth by competing waves of pressure as she desperately tries to swallow you back down, the crushing tightness of her stomach becoming increasingly painful as it works to overcome her stubborn resistance. After what feels like a full minute of being constricted by her throat, your hand manages to inch its way up into her mouth and she finally accepts defeat. Without her fighting back, it takes just seconds for the rest of your body to surge out of her stomach and into the cool outside air. The tile floor feels freezing compared to the warm flesh you'd been wrapped in for so long. <<if $turn < 3>>You take a deep breath of fresh air, quickly pushing yourself up off the ground.

She keeps a firm hold on you despite your resistance, dragging you into her dorm. She releases your mouth to close the door, giving you a moment to finally protest the assault. "What the fuck, get off me!" you shout. With her briefly weakened grip, you manage to make a little progress pulling your arms free. Thinking fast while you have the advantage, you stomp on one of her feet, breaking away while she recoils from the pain. "OW! Motherfucker!" the girl cries out. You turn around to face your assailent, finding yourself face to face with... Olivia, from way back at the start of the week. She looks furious, even after recovering from the blow to her foot. You also notice that she isn't wearing pants, just a tank top and underwear... "You're gonna pay extra for that..." she growls. "You think I was really gonna let you just go around embarrassing me? Come here!" "Excuse me!?" you shout. She lunges at you and you attempt to duck out of the way, but you're too slow to avoid her. @@color:orange;You have been overpowered.@@ You're thrown to the ground, landing on your back right next to a recently discarded pair of shorts. You groan and start to sit up, being met with the sight of a grinning Olivia pulling off her panties. "You can't be--" You're cut off as she throws her underwear directly onto your face. You quickly pull it off in disgust, but in that brief moment of distraction Olivia makes her move. She roughly pulls off your shoes, then you feel one of your feet get pushed into somewhere warm and tight. She looms over you, crouched down with her legs spread wide. One of her arms pins you to the ground, while the other guides your free leg to join the first... lodged ankle-deep in her ass. "Get... off..!" you shout, trying to push her away. Her internal muscles keep your foot held tight, and she's pretty quickly able to wrestle the other one in to join it. "This is disgusting! <<if $eatenByOlivia or $analByOlivia>>Are you this mad I got away last time?<<else>>What are you so mad about?<</if>>" You're nearly able to push her off, but with her other arm free she shifts her hold on you, grabbing your wrists tight. "Don't play dumb..." she grunts, dragging your legs deeper into her. "Some girl I've never met before knew //all// about that bit of fun me and Cherry had Monday... You think it's funny boasting about shoving some 'pathetic' sophomore up your butt?" "I don't know what you're talking about!" you say. You keep trying to push her away, or pull your legs free, but with your arms incapacitated and your legs gripped by her rectum she has you hopelessly pinned. Slowly but surely, she's dragging your body into her ass--already you can see her abdomen starting to bulge out. "Shut up!" she growls. A strong tug drags your legs deeper, the tough walls of her intestines sliding against your skin. You can feel that her anus is starting to advance down your thighs. "I am //not// gonna get a reputation as the girl who crawled up some freshman's ass just 'cause I went along with Cherry's dumb plan!" "<<if $eatenByOlivia or $analByOlivia>>Trust me, I don't want to remember that morning any more than you do! I didn't tell anyone!"<<else>>Seriously, I didn't tell anyone!<</if>>" you protest. You legitimately can't remember mentioning anything about the incident to anyone that would have spread it around, certainly not in the boastful way Olivia seems to have heard.

"<<if $eatenByOlivia or $analByOlivia>>I'm gonna finish things right this time, bitch, don't you worry...<<else>>You might not be able to back up your bullshit, but I'll show you how it's really done...<</if>>" she says with a sadistic smile. She leans back, starting to pant a little, and pulls your arms down to her rear, slipping your fingers through her sphincter. "Ugh, you're crazy! Let me go!" you shout. "Shut up and get where you belong..." she grunts, starting to pull you in much faster now that your arms have been pinned.<<if $playerSize > 5>> "Why do you have to be such a fatass..." she adds, seeming to be struggling a little to deal with your size.<</if>> You can feel the warm, constricting embrace of her intestines advancing up your stomach, intense waves of pressure dragging you deeper and deeper. The angle your body has been forced into to accomodate your entry is incredibly uncomfortable, though its starting to alleviate as your head draws nearer to her ass. You can't even see her face anymore over her belly as it bulges out from your intrusion. Though you try to squirm and wriggle free, there's nothing you can do to overcome the sophomore's relentless efforts. <<if $breastSize > 34>>She struggles slightly getting your breasts in, but before<<else>>Before<</if>> long, only your head remains outside, sandwiched by her ass cheeks. "Please, don't do this!" you shout, your words slurred a little by your current position. "I didn't--!" Olivia plants one of her hands on your head. "Get... in..!" she grunts, pushing down and squeezing with her inner muscles at the same time. Your head disappears into her rectum with an uncomfortable wet sound, her sphincter quickly sealing you inside. "Haah... there..." You feel her gently massage her belly from the outside as she continues to pull you deeper. Every inch of you is wrapped tight by the slick flesh of her intestines, helplessly dragged deeper and deeper into her digestive tract. By the time she finally stops to rest, the walls have gotten smoother and ever so slightly tighter--you're pretty sure you've been forced all the way into her small intestine.

"N-No! I'm not d--//mmh..!//" Olivia cries, clearly losing the upper hand. You feel her try to pull you back in, but the grip from her insides once again loosens as you wriggle your shoulders past her anus. "GET... ME...

You can't tell if it was on purpose or if she just got thrown off balance--she gains a bit of ground while you get your bearings, but with the added pressure from her gut getting pressed against the ground you're able to shift out even easier than before. <<if $breastSize > 17>>With a <<if $breastSize < 35>>slight <</if>>popping sound, your breasts pull free of her ass, followed quickly by your stomach.<<else>>Before long, you manage to slide your chest and most of your midriff out from inside of her.<</if>> "You can't..!"

With a grunt, you push down as hard as you can, doing your best to assist with your legs as well. Olivia moans and clamps down on you hard for a moment, then seems to go completely limp. The rest of you easily slides free, accompanied by an uncomfortable series of wet noises. Olivia gives one last whimper as you yank your feet free. Both of you collapse onto the ground next to each other, panting. You're the first to get up, feeling a little stiff from the time spent packed inside of her. Your entire body is covered in a thin layer of some slimy fluid from rubbing against the walls of her intestines. "God.. damn it..." Olivia mutters, sitting up but staying on the ground. You notice that her cheeks are flushed. "I really wasn't spreading any stories about what happened before, but if I had to go through //this// for it anyways, maybe I'll start to now..." you say, glaring at her. "You're just a freshman... how did you<<if $analByOlivia>>... twice<</if>>..?" she mumbles, rubbing her ass with one hand. She seems to be talking to herself, not directing it at you.

She gently runs her hands along her belly for a moment, then you're crushed by an intense pressure. The walls crash in //hard// from all sides, Olivia wrapping her legs and arms around her swollen gut and squeezing in as hard as she can. In your exhausted state, it's more than enough to thrust you into unconsciousness, sealing your fate. "//''*UUUURRRRRRAAAAP!*''// Whew, there she goes!" Olivia says with a grin, slowly releasing her hold so that her belly can hang free again. It stays still, the bulges from your melting body barely recognizable anymore. "Good riddance, that bullshit better not have spread far before I got to her..." She lays back on her bed with a sigh, running one of her hands along the smooth surface of her belly. It fills the room with all kinds of groaning and gurgling, eagerly churning away at what remains of you. With a satisfied grin, she idly massages her gut for a while, occasionally squeezing or poking at it to enjoy the sounds of its contents sloshing about. But once she's come down from her predatory high, a conflicted expression creeps onto her face. "Hmm..." she mutters. Then she sighs. "I guess I //should// make absolutely sure it wasn't Cherry blabbing about it... Not that it //*urp*// matters much now..." She eases herself off the bed, the frame creaking under her weight. With one hand resting below her belly for added support, she shuffles over to the door, stepping out into the hall to head to Cherry's dorm. But, she's quickly met with another familiar face that was on her way back from dinner instead. Someone you might have recognized, if you weren't just mush stewing in her gut. "Oh hey, you again, perfect," Olivia says. "As you can see, that bitch you mentioned was all talk." She grins and pushes on her belly to force out a burp. "Why hello again! This is $name, then?" the dark haired girl in the hall says, stepping closer and giving Olivia's belly a poke. She smirks when she feels how soft it is. "Yep, gave her exactly the treatment she was lying about giving me~" Olivia replies. "Oh that's perfect!" the other girl says with a laugh. "I did think her story was a bit suspicious even before I said anything to you, I'm glad you set things straight. I really can't stand a gossip." "So just to be sure... //She// was the one that told you that bullshit story herself, right? It wasn't, like, a short redhead with red eyes?" "Yes, she was bragging all about it, trying to look cool. This other girl you're thinking of sounds interesting though," the girl says with a slight smirk. "Perfect, that's good enough for me to enjoy the rest of my meal with a clean conscience," Olivia chuckles. "Good, you deserve the satisfaction! Have a good evening, darling," the dark haired girl says, continuing on her way down the hall.

Come on, just stay down you--" She's cut off mid-sentence as one lucky push manages to find the entrance to her throat, and your arm thrusts up into her esophagus. The walls clamp down hard around you as she gasps from the intrusion, her stomach having had enough and quickly starting to force the rest of you out. You're pushed back and forth by competing waves of pressure as she desperately tries to swallow you back down, the crushing tightness of her stomach becoming increasingly painful as it works to overcome her stubborn resistance. After what feels like a full minute of being constricted by her throat, a sensation oddly similar to your trip through her intestines, your hand manages to inch its way up into her mouth and she finally accepts defeat.

The two of you head out into the hall, Emma trailing slightly behind you. Despite agreeing, she seems nervous about actively being out on the hunt.

"You know if you're cold, a nice big meal would definitely warm you up," you tease. "$name, you said //you// would eat her if we did this," she replies, shooting you a look.

Every now and then, you manage to push out another small burp. "So... if you don't mind me asking..." you say, your hands almost moving on autopilot at this point. "Why were you so hesitant to eat even someone as awful as Betty?" "Oh..." Emma says with a blissful sigh. "I just like to think it's possible to work it out with people, you know? But I do know there's plenty that you just can't reason with... the first person I ever ate was my high school bully, you know. Well... the first one where alcohol wasn't involved in any way, anways..." "Really? That makes sense," you say, giving her a reassuring smile. "Yeah, it was this guy named Liam, kind of an... emo kid, I guess you'd call it," she says, chuckling a little. "He'd been nasty to me since freshman year, and I tried all the time to be nice, get to know him and patch things up, but just like Betty he never entertained it for a second... I guess I was 'everything wrong with society' or something like that because I liked to party..." She sighs and shakes her head. "And, like, most people were //mean// to him for bullying me, it's not like he was getting anything out of it..." You just nod and continue your massage, letting her talk. "So, eventually I took Nancy's advice and just ate him after school one day, so I could be done with it..." she says with a sigh. A burp escapes her lips before she starts again. "And it was nice to not have to deal with him anymore, but... I don't know, sometimes I think back on it and feel like I could have solved things a better way..." "Oh, Emma... don't do that to yourself. This guy was bullying you for... years, it sounds like? You gave him more than enough chances," you say, slowing your massage a little. "Hell, I think you gave Betty more chances than she deserved by not going straight to eating her earlier. And with her and Alice teamed up, she was definitely only going to get worse, so don't go nagging yourself that you could have dealt with her any other way, either." "Yeah, no, I know. That's why I'm really glad you and <<if $day6SunnyHelpWithBetty>>Sunny<<else>>Sam<</if>> gave me a push with this. I know I need to make that call a lot sooner here if I don't want to end up in a stomach..." Emma replies. It looks like she's starting to doze off. "I think you're almost too nice to be going to this school, you know that?" you say, giving her a warm smile. She looks up at you, silently locking eyes for a moment. She places her hands on top of yours on her belly, bringing your fading massage to a complete stop. "This has been... amazing, thank you $name..." "A-Anytime..." you say, blushing furiously. "But..." Emma says through a yawn. "I'm gonna pass out any second here, I think it's time I call it a night..." You smile and slide your hands away, giving her belly a gentle pat before before fully letting go. "Of course, it's a big day tomorrow." "Yeah..." Emma mumbles, a blissful smile on her face. She rolls onto her side, shifting a bit so that her head is on her pillow. Her belly spills out onto the bed with one arm draped over it. "Good night, $name..." "Good night," you reply with a smile. You yawn yourself, deciding that it's probably time for you to turn in as well. [[Get ready for bed->September 6th- End of Day]]<</replace>><</link>> <<link "Just let her rest">><<replace "#choice">>\ "Yeah, you're probably right... Alright, well, I think I'm gonna doze off for the night already," Emma says with another yawn. She shifts back on her bed, easing herself down to lay on her side facing the wall. "Don't worry too much about disturbing me for a while if you're not ready, I know it's early..." The tone of her voice makes it sound like she's already falling asleep, and sure enough barely a minute later you faintly hear her snoring. You smile to yourself, then pull out your laptop to pass the time. The room is filled with soft gurgling and groaning sounds as Emma's stomach works through its meal. It's oddly relaxing.

[[Get ready for bed->September 6th- End of Day]]<</if>>\ <<else>>/*just lazing in dorm after evening choice is default version*/\ <<Time 21>><<if $emmaInjured>>\ You decide to just sit back and relax for the evening, settling into your spot on the bed and pulling out your laptop. You boot up a game to play, quickly losing track of time as you get sucked into it. After a while, you're snapped out of it by the sound of someone fiddling with the doorknob, jumping a bit from the unexpected noise. The door swings open, and Sunny marches in. "Good, $name you're awake still!" she laughs. She starts to knock her hands against the wall to create a drumroll. "Introducing... the new and improved Emma!" She swivels and snaps her fingers into guns pointing at the doorway. Emma slowly steps in from the hall, grinning but blushing a little and nervously holding her hands in front of her. "Um, hey $name..!" she says. You raise your eyebrows a bit and look her over. She seems to be wearing a slightly different outfit than before, now sporting a paler blue tank top that's short enough to leave some of her midriff exposed. Much more striking, however, is her hair. It's been trimmed back to clean up the damage Zoey's stomach gave it, leaving her with curled ends that barely reach lower than her ears. Her old orange highlights are still mostly gone, but she now has a bright blue streak going from the front off to the right side. <<if $emmaRel > 0>>"Woah, Emma!" you say with a grin. "It look great!" "Thanks! Haha I've always wanted to try having blue in my hair!" she beams, running a hand along the streak. "I didn't think I'd be able to pull off short hair, but Sunny took me to this amazing place in town." "You can always trust me to know where to go," Sunny says with a snap. "I'll catch you two tomorrow!"<<else>>"Oh, nice," you say, turning your attention back to your game. "Oh don't mind her, she's just annoyed that you're definitively cooler than her now," Sunny says, waving her hand dismissively. "I'll catch you tomorrow, I should get back to my dorm!"<</if>> "Bye Sunny! Thanks again, tonight was just what I needed!" Emma calls out as Sunny heads off into the hall. She drops back onto her bed with a contented sigh. It seems like she's finally completely shaken off the near-digestion experience she had earlier in the week. "Well, I'm kinda exhausted after all that, I'm gonna get ready for bed." She gets up and heads into the shower, leaving you alone in the room again. After a little while, you start to realize that you're getting tired as well, and decide to call it a night. Content with your lazy evening and looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, you get up to head into the bathroom shortly after Emma gets out.\ <<else>>\ <<if $emmaRel > 0>>"Yeah that sounds like a solid plan to me," you chuckle.

<<Time 18.75>><<set $emmaAteBetty to true>>The three of you head out of your dorm together to start your search. You start to walk towards the main hallway, figuring the courtyard would probably be the best spot to check this late in the day, but Sunny takes a sharp left toward the stairs. She smirks at you. "Rule number one for finding specific prey on this campus--always check the dining hall first if it's still open. The hall between their dorm and the food is the one place someone //has// to be at some point," she explains. "And everyone's got different ideas of what the best way to avoid people thinking like that is, so you'd be surprised how odd the hours you can bump into people are. What's this Betty look like anyways, by the way? Y'know, so I can actually help." "She's got long blonde hair, lighter than yours and Emma's, and <<if $breastSize < 45>>an impressive chest for a freshman<<else>>tits about as big as mine<</if>>. Usually wearing pink, at least when I've seen her," you say as you make your ways upstairs. "And she's about Emma's height, maybe a little taller." "She uses way too much makeup too," Emma chimes in. "Perfect, I'll text some of my buddies and see if they've seen her recently." "Oh, that's smart!" you say. "Right!? I think it's a great strategy, but everyone always says it's just a way to annoy them. I've even got a group chat for it. That was Amity's idea, and it was totally so that she could mute it and ignore me," Sunny says with a laugh. As you turn the corner onto the bridge, she drops an arm around your shoulder and pulls you a little closer. "Alright, make sure I got all that right, $name." You lean over and look at her phone as she holds it out to you. She isn't texting anyone, she just has a page of notes open that reads: "//Emmas gotta be the one to eat this girl when we find her. You good to help with that?//" You nod. "Yep, that looks perfect." That was exactly what you had in mind by having her come with you for this anyways; you're glad she's already on the same page. The three of you continue on across the bridge and into Lampton. Things seem quiet and the hall is empty other than you, but right as you're nearing the end, someone turns the corner and almost walks right into you. Incredibly, it's a familiar, bratty blonde. "Ugh, seriously?" Betty groans, taking a step back and placing a hand on her hip. "First Alice almost makes me miss dinner, and now I have to look at your hideous faces... What a waste of a Friday night." Then she looks at Sunny and smirks. "And who's this? Did you get so desperate for another friend you stole a toddler or something?" Sunny bursts out laughing. "Holy shit, a height joke!? I haven't heard one of those in years! And I'm serious, I think Maeve being kinda short scared everyone away from them here." She steps forward very casually and grabs Betty's arm, taking advantage of the fact that she doesn't seem to think she's a threat yet. "See, what'd I tell you guys? The route to the dining hall is always the right answer." "HEY! Get off me, bitch!" Betty shouts, trying to pull away. "You don't really think--" "Good to see you too, Betty," you say with a smirk. You move in to assist Sunny, grabbing Betty's other arm. "I don't think you guys have met before, right? This is our friend Sunny--she's a junior." You notice Betty's eye's widen a little, realizing she might actually be in danger for the first time. But then she just gets angrier. "Whatever, like I'd be scared of some dumbass that wears sunglasses indoors! She probably only made it to junior year because no one wanted to bother with a meal that small..!" "Alright, it's already gotten old again," Sunny says. "This is the girl, right Em?" Emma seems a little stunned, staring wide eyed at you and Sunny holding Betty in place. "Um, yeah, that's definitely her..." Betty grunts, thrashing against your grip, but you and Sunny keep her locked down. Then she laughs. "Of course //you're// behind this bullshit, you disgusting little..." She grimaces and stops for a moment as Sunny tightens her grip. "What, are you too scared to be alone with me after last time? So afraid I'll put you<<if $emmaDitchedCookout > 0>> back<</if>> where you belong that you couldn't even try coming after me yourself? You're pathetic. I bet you whored yourself out to get this freak's help, I can't think of any oth--" "Enough!" Emma shouts, taking an aggressive step forward. "Why are you always like this!? There's no need to be so mean! At the cookout I was just trying to be nice, but I'd barely even said hello before you started trashing me. And I get maybe you had a bad day, but you've been nasty ever since even though I didn't do anything... And now you were immediately mean to Sunny too!" "And are you really gonna talk shit about grouping up? You've been holding Alice's hand since the start of the week..." you chime in. "I'm just being honest," Betty sneers. "I only needed one look to know you--all three of you--weren't worth my time. If I'm going to share this campus with trash, I expect it to at least know its place." "Ugh, you're..!" Emma says, clenching her fists. She takes a deep breath. "Can you just say you're sorry? And just... leave me alone from now on. I won't bother you, either, okay?" "Ha!" Betty laughs. She makes a hard pull to free her arm from your grip, and despite failing she continues to berate Emma. "I'll leave you alone once my gut has churned you into paste," she spits. "Now get off of me!" "You're a real dumbass, you know that?" Sunny cuts in. "Even if we pretend I'm a freshman, you're pinned and helpless right now, and you decide to mouth off to the only person who had any thought of letting you go? I'm shocked you made it this far, honestly." "Shut up! Like I'd take advice from--" Emma sighs, and her shoulders sag. "Alright, one of you just eat her..." You and Sunny glance at each other, then take a small step closer to her, dragging Betty with you. "No, come on Emma, you know who's stomach she's earned a spot in." "O-Oh..." Emma says, looking flustered. She leans back a little as you nudge Betty's head towards her. "But, Sunny went out of her way to help, she should--" "Em," Sunny says. "If you //really// don't want to do this, it's okay. But come on--just from this conversaion alone she's got it coming, and I don't even know what went down before. You're not gonna find better prey than that." "Oh please, this bitch doesn't--" "You're right," Emma says, placing her hands on Betty's shoulders. Betty freezes for a moment, giving Emma a worried look. Somehow, the situation seems to have only just now become concerning to her. "You wouldn't dare..." It looks like Emma considers saying something to her, but instead narrows her eyes into a slight glare and leans forward, opening her mouth wide. Betty starts to thrash against your grip, her protests quickly muffled by Emma's throat as she gets to work swallowing her down. You and Sunny keep her restrained as Emma glides down her body, leaning over and shifting her own grip lower to aid the process. She moves quickly, other than getting slightly hung up on her chest. There's a determined look in Emma's eyes as her lips slide down to Betty's midriff. With her arms mostly locked down by Emma's mouth, you and Sunny shift your grip to her legs, lifting her up off the ground. Betty kicks and flails as her hips sink into Emma's waiting mouth, desperately protesting her fate. Emma's belly swells with the shifting form of her bully as Betty is slowly dragged down into her waiting stomach. You pull off her boots once little more than her calves remain, Sunny going as far as to remove her socks as well. Soon, her feet disappear behind Emma's lips, and a final swallow seals her away inside your roommate's gut. Emma makes a sour face for a moment and taps her chest. A loud belch erupts from her mouth and echoes down the hall, carrying with it the small pearl necklace Betty had been wearing. It clatters on the floor and lands right alongside her discarded boots, coated in a slimy layer of saliva. "Bleh, so much hair... And I still taste //*urp*// foundation..." Emma mumbles. She runs a cautious hand over her swollen gut, jumping a little as Betty suddenly kicks back to life. "YOU STUPID BITCH!" she roars. "Get me out of your filthy fucking gut! You can't do this to me!" "Oh yeah? Why not?" you say, grinning at Emma and gently resting a hand on her belly. "I..!" Betty's muffled voice replies, trailing off for a moment. Then her thrashing becomes even more intense, Emma's gut shifting worryingly with her movements. "I don't deserve this! I am //not// going to get digested by some ditsy, tasteless, party-girl trash!" Betty starts to say more, but she's cut off as Emma tightens her stomach muscles, the outline of the form inside becoming much more clear. She pushes in with her hands for a moment too, then sighs and releases her hold. "I //*uuurp*// think I need to sit down..." she says. She leans back against the nearest wall, sliding down until she reaches the floor, her bloated belly straddled by her legs. "Yeah, you show her girl!" Sunny cheers, leaning against the wall next to Emma. She gives her shoulder a nudge. "You're a natural, haha! How's it feel taking her down a peg?" "It... does feel pretty good," Emma replies, a faint blush running across her cheeks. "I was kinda hoping she'd finally //*Urp*// shut up once I got her in there though..." "Oh I doubt she will until your stomach's done with her," Sunny chuckles. "Some people just can't learn their lesson unless it's a permanent one." "She giving you much trouble?" you ask, taking a seat next to Emma. "No, I think I've got her fine." "Sh-Shut up, all of you!" Betty shouts. She sounds like she's out of breath, and you notice that her struggling seems to have died down. "You have to get me out of here! I can... I can give you an in with Alice if you let me go!" "//*Pfft*//, what? That's the best you've got," you say, giving Emma's belly a poke. "Why would we care?" "Her mom is famous! Don't you ever get sick of being a nobody? Or are you so pathetic that you don't care about being on the bottom?" Betty replies. "Ugh, of course you'd be too stupid to get it..!" "Wow, she can't even get through pleading to be let out without being a brat," Sunny says. She crouches down and runs her hands along Emma's belly, giving her a little nod. "She's exactly the type that you can only deal with by eating 'em." "Yeah, no, you're right..." Emma says. "Um, thank you guys, by the way. And sorry about //*URRP*// being kinda weird earlier, everything just happened so suddenly..." "Hey hey, no worries!" Sunny says. "Hope we didn't push you too hard." "No! I really appreciate it, actually," Emma says. She runs her hands down the front of her gut, squeezing in with her legs a little and smiling. "You're right that it's //*Urrp*// really dangerous here to just let people walk over me, even if I'd rather keep trying to talk things out. It'll be nice not having to worry about her anymore." "You'd better be fucking worried after I--" "Yeah, yeah, we get it," Sunny says, cutting Betty off by pushing on the bulge her head is making. The pressure pushes a burp out of Emma's mouth, and you all laugh. The three of you hang around in the hall chatting while Betty churns away, Emma's gut filling the air with all sorts of groaning and gurgling. Betty's efforts to escape gradually fade, each burst of activity from her getting weaker and weaker, until finally stopping altogether. Emma pretty quickly gets back to her usual self, and by the time your conversation starts to die down her belly is already soft and rounded, no sign of her prey left at all. "Well, probably about time I head back to my dorm. Gotta be well rested for tomorrow, right?" Sunny says, stepping away from the wall and stretching her arms. "Enjoy the rest of your meal Em!" "Thanks again Sunny! See ya tomorrow!" Emma says. Sunny snaps her fingers at the two of you and heads off down the hall. "I think she's far enough along that we don't have to worry about her getting out," you say, giving Emma's belly a pat. There's a slight sloshing sound from the impact. "Ready to head back to the room?" "Absolutely," Emma replies with a yawn. "I think I'm honestly ready for bed already..." You give her a hand getting up, her belly shaking around from the movement and kicking up all sorts of wet noises. She sighs once she's back on her feet, then cradles her softening belly with her arms, a slight smile on her face. The two of you head off down the hall back toward the bridge, leaving Betty's necklace and boots lying abandoned on the floor.<<if $aliceDorm and ($emmaRel > 3)>> You don't get far before an idea pops into your head. "Hey, you know, that's Alice's dorm right there," you say, pointing to the door to Room L202. "Oh god, she was that close by? We were making a ton of noise, good thing she didn't come out..." "Actually, I was hoping we could make a little //more// noise to make sure she heard," you snicker. "You should let out the biggest burp you can manage, right in front of her door. Send a message." Emma stops in her tracks and shoots you a look, crossing her arms. "$name." After a brief pause, an impish smile creeps onto her face. "...that's a really fun idea, she sucks too," she says with a giggle. The two of you step up to her door, grinning. Emma starts to subtly bounce her belly up from below, its contents sloshing around as she tries to build up something substantial. She tilts her head down and her face contorts a little as she seems to try and hold it in as long as she can. As soon as you see her start to open her mouth, you push in on her gut to help things along. "//*BWUUUUOOOORrrp!*// Woah..." Emma blushes a little as the roaring belch echoes through the empty hallway. You turn to each other and laugh, continuing to giggle as you take off toward the bridge.<</if>> [[Return to your dorm->September 6th- Night]]\ <<set $emmaPrey.push({name: "Betty", status: "minor", details: "after some convincing from you and Sunny"})>>

<<Time 19.5>>You decide that it would be a terrible idea to swap to a completely unfamiliar character right after the stakes of the match have been raised, so you stick with Mangra. You take a deep breath after locking in your choice. After how obnoxious she's been just because she's skilled at the game, you're determined to teach Nikki a lesson. "You know, you and Tara's battle for the worst after this is probably gonna be the most fun match to watch here," Nikki taunts while the game loads. "Since you and Leah are both gonna go down easy." You ignore her, staying focused on the game. The first round starts and you come out swinging, trying to keep the pressure on her right from the start so that she can't settle into her usual tactics. It works for a while and you get her health dangerously low, but she manages to break away at the last moment and starts whittling you down with hit-and-run attacks thanks to her character's mobility advantage. You can't keep up and things start to seem hopeless despite the health advantage. Then, right as Nikki moves in to swallow you, you catch her with a tail-swing attack and deal just enough damage to finish her off, getting a cheer from Leah. "What!? That's bullshit, that move's supposed to just be for positioning control!" Nikki snaps. "Still does some damage though," you say with a smirk. Nikki grumbles something unintelligible and leans forward in her seat. You can feel your heart pounding through the next round, knowing that by the rules of the game your round one win means nothing if she manages to digest you. And she clearly knows it, spamming swallow attacks whenever she gets the chance even while you still have plenty of health. Things come right down to the wire, but when it's clear you won't win you make the call to intentionally dive into one of her damaging moves to finish yourself off before she gets a chance to eat you, bringing the match down to a final tie-breaking round. Leah is again impressed by your maneuver, but Nikki is fuming. That works to your advantage as her skill seems to be dipping a little. You hold your own this round and things are unbearably even, both of you able to whittle each other down to the point where whoever can land even a single hit next will take the win. Nikki dashes in to finish you off and... you evade, managing to land a grab before she can recover. Your character swallows down Nikki's, the lizard girl's belly bulging out with the thrashing slime. She had such little health left that it's over before the prompt for Nikki to attempt an escape even shows up. Your character playfully pushes down on every bulge that pops up on her belly while the slimegirl's struggling slowly fades, until... "GUTTED". The words appear on the screen and your character belches. The match is over--you won. "Bullshit!" Nikki shouts, slamming her controller down. "That was awesome!" Leah says with a smile. "I wasn't even playing and that match still felt way too intense..." "Wow, great job $name!" Tara chimes in. You turn your head toward Nikki, unable to stop yourself from looking a little smug. "Good game, that was right down to the wire!" "Shut up! I had you, that should have been my win..!" she grumbles. She shoves her controller into Leah's hands. "Ugh, whatever! You two just play, get this stupid thing over with..." You pass your controller to Tara and she starts her match against Leah. Unlike the nailbiter you just played through, their match is quick and one-sided. Leah goes all out and easily beats Tara, not even falling below half health at any point in either round. "Um, sorry..." Leah says with a nervous laugh. "There, see, that makes sense," Nikki says. "Okay now Leah and $name fight." "Shouldn't third and fourth go first? Earlier you said--" you start to say. "Were you watching the last match? She's got no chance, we shouldn't even waste the time." "Yeah but you thought the same thing about your match with me," you say, narrowing your eyes a little. "You've still gotta play." "Fine, whatever, but you two still go first," Nikki says. She glares back at you. "I'm positive you cheated before so I'm gonna watch real close." "Let's just play, $name," Leah says with a sigh. She smiles at you. "Think you've got what it takes?" "Ha, you're going down!" Still riding high from your victory over Nikki, you surprise even yourself a little with how well you do against Leah. The first round is close, but Leah manages to knock you out. You got a good feel for her strategy by the end, however, and in the second round you're able to flip things around. By the end of the round you manage to finish her off with a swallow, taking the win for the whole match. You cheer and pump your fist in the air, while your character burps and pats her belly in satisfaction. "Good game, you've really gotten good at this!" Leah says. "You're going down next time though." "I look forward to it," you reply with a laugh. "You've gotta be kidding!" Nikki growls. "How the fuck did you lose to her!?" "Come on, relax," you say with a sigh. "Wouldn't you want the person who beat you to win the whole thing anyways? You know, so you can still try to claim you're //second// best." "I..! Ugh, shut up, just pass the controllers so I can cream Tara and get this over with..." The final match starts, and things start to take an unexpected turn. Based on what you'd seen, you figured that Nikki was unfortunately correct that there wasn't much point in her and Tara even facing off. But Tara's been steadily learning despite her harsh losses... and Nikki is coming into the match already tilted from the fact that you won. She's playing way too aggressively and Tara actually does a decent job of punishing her for it, managing to take the first round. The loss, combined with everyone cheering for Tara, pushes Nikki into an even more frustrated, careless playstyle, and everything falls apart for her. Tara not only wins the match, but actually ends with a pretty strong lead in health in the second round. "I... I did it!" Tara says, her mouth dropping open. "I actually won!" Nikki swears and throws her controller down, crossing her arms and looking away from everyone. Meanwhile, you and Leah congratulate Tara, cheering her on. "Um, g-good game Nikki," Tara says. "I guess you were right that I needed some risk to play well, I was really worried about getting eaten..." You smirk. "Yeah that's right, you got last place, didn't you?" you say to Nikki. "You remember what that means, right?" Nikki snaps out of her sulking and looks over at you, her eyes widening a little. "You... guys didn't think I was serious about that, did you?" \ [[Claim your prize and eat Nikki->Tabletop Hangout- Eat Nikki]] <<link "Let her weasel out of it">><<replace "#choice">>\ "Well, you //did// seem pretty serious when you suggested it, but no, you're right, that would be way too high stakes to actually go through with for something like this," you say. Nikki breathes a sigh of relief. You smirk and raise a finger. "But! I still deserve a prize for winning, so for the rest of the night //I// get to make the rules for how we're playing. No more 'the best player gets to just keep kicking everyone's butt forever'." "What? No way! We're in my dorm using my console, I get to be in charge!" Nikki snaps. "Okay, I can just go back to the original prize we agreed on then," you say, getting up from the bed and going to stand in front of her. "You..! Ugh, fine, whatever..." Nikki grumbles, crossing her arms and looking away. With the tournament over, you get back to playing much more casually. Instead of "winner keeps their controller", you set the rule to just alternate which controller gets passed off after each match so that everyone gets equal chance to play and isn't just facing the same opponent almost every time. Remembering Nikki's insistence on only playing her main, you also quickly add the rule that no one can use the same character twice in a row. Nikki still seems grumpy, but everyone else is having a much better time than before. After a while, Leah brings up that there are a few different rulesets and gamemodes you can swap to within the game itself. You look through the list and pretty quickly settle on an alternate mode called "snackdown". It's a tournament where you can only deal damage via digestion, and after a character gets fully digested in a match they're no longer able to be selected, with the tournament continuing until only one character remains. By the end, even Nikki seems to be enjoying the challenge the unusual ruleset provides and finally mellows out a bit. She even compliments Tara on her improvement when, in a surprising turn of event, she's the one that manages to take the final spot. Eventually, things start to wind down and most of you are yawning more than you're talking. You decide to call it a night, getting up from the bed and stretching your arms. "This was actually really fun other than the threat of being eaten earlier which kinda..." Tara says, blushing as she catches herself starting to ramble. She clears her throat. "Um, thanks for inviting us Nikki." "Yeah, uh, thanks for coming. I'm, uh, s..." Nikki starts to say. Then she groans and shakes her head. "I'll see you guys at club." "Yeah, see you then!" you say, waving as you head for the door. "We should do this again sometime..!" Leah chimes in. "Yeah, sure, whatever..." Nikki mumbles. Everyone gives a final goodbye, then heads out into the hall.<<if $leahRel < 3>> <<Leah 1>><</if>> [[Head back to your dorm->September 6th- Night]]<</replace>><</link>>

<<Time 19.5>><<set $tabletopHangoutLost to true>>You decide that it's worth the risk to try and counter her, swapping to using Maja instead. You take a deep breath after locking in your choice. After how obnoxious she's been just because she's skilled at the game, you're determined to teach Nikki a lesson. Nikki scoffs at your choice. "You would..." "What, getting worried now?" you reply. "Not a bit," Nikki says, leaning forward in her seat. "But if it turns out you've been hustling me this whole time, I'm just gonna eat you regardless of the tournament..." You ignore her, staying focused on the game. The first round starts and, perhaps predictably, things don't go very well for you. Nikki dances circles around you while you struggle to figure out the basics of this new character. You've barely gotten any damage in at all by the time she finishes you off. But, by the end you'd started to get the hang of the slowing mechanic you were hoping to use against her, and the tables start to turn in the second round. Your inexperience is still showing, but the fight is much more even. Then, right as things are getting down to the wire, you manage to pull off a swallow on her. You pump your fist and watch the screen intently. She's low enough that you might be able to finish her off, giving you the win for the whole match... but your brow furrows as her health stops dropping despite the struggle animation continuing. Nikki smirks. "I was really hoping she didn't know she could do that..." Leah groans. You watch in confusion as slime emerges from behind your character sprite in a vaguely humanoid shape, then wraps around it and fully reforms back into the slimegirl--with you in her belly. Your jaw drops open a little and the excitement instantly drains from your body. You had much less health than she did, and before the prompt for you to struggle even comes up--"GUTTED". The slimegirl burps as your character disolves inside her. "What the hell was that?" you say. "Cyan is, uh, the only character that can do a swallow reversal, at least right now..." Leah explains a bit nervously. "You risk a little more damage in their stomach in exchange for instantly swallowing them when you escape..." "Yep, any serious player would know every trick in their character's kit before using them in a real match," Nikki taunts. She passes her controller to Leah. "Alright now thrash Tara quick so we can watch these losers fight." You sigh and pass your controller to Tara. Unfortunately, Nikki is exactly right and their match is quick and one-sided. Leah goes all out and easily beats Tara, not even falling below half health at any point in either round. "Um, sorry..." Leah says with a nervous laugh. "There, see? Just like I said," Nikki laughs. "Now lets find out who's on the menu." You and Tara exchange a nervous glance, then turn your attention to the screen to choose your characters. Feeling like you'd gotten a handle on her despite the outcome of the prior match, you stick with Maja. This quickly proves to be a big mistake. Her slowing mechanic doesn't hinder Tara's playstyle much at all, and you keep mistiming attacks since you still aren't very familiar with the character. Both rounds are close, at least, but it's a clean sweep for Tara. "I... I won! I actually did it!" Tara cheers. Then she gets a sheepish look on her face. "Um, sorry $name, good game..." "Hey no worries, good--" "Ha! Perfect," Nikki laughs. She looks over at you and pats her stomach. "My gut will be waiting for you after the next match.~" "Right..." you mumble, starting to get nervous. You consider the possibility of just rushing out the door before the next match finishes--she seems serious about the bet... The next match starts, and everyone goes completely quiet. Leah and Nikki are fully focused on the game, both giving it their all while you and Tara look on in nervous anticipation. They're very closely matched, the first round going to Leah while she has only a sliver of health remaining. The second is just as close, this time going to Nikki. Leah seems to be sweating a little with how concentrated she is, but it pays off. She manages to swallow Nikki's character while she's far too low to pull the same trick she did on you, taking the match and the top spot in the tournament. "Bullshit!" Nikki shouts, slamming her controller down. Leah just breathes a sigh of relief. "Good job Leah!" you say. Then you clear your throat. "So, uh..." "What's... oh," Leah says, blushing. "D-Don't worry, we, um, don't have to go through with the bet..." "Thank goodness..." "No, fuck that!" Nikki snaps. "We made a bet, all of us agreed to the stakes! Eat her!" "Well..." Leah mumbles. "Hey, shut up!" you protest. "You didn't win, she did. She can do what she wants." "She can, huh? See, that means she's fine with you claiming your prize," Nikki says with a grin. "Come on, eat her, you earned it." "U-Ummmm..." Leah says, starting to fidget in place. "But, um, we never said that the loser had to get digested so you could just spit her out after since... you know... Morgan..." Tara chimes in. "R-Right!" Leah says, sitting forward. "I'll... I'll just swallow you for a little while." "//*Pfft*//, lame... but whatever, she'll still be humiliated..." Nikki grumbles. "You... promise you'll spit me back out?" you say. The thought of just making a break for the door is still running through your head. "Y-Yeah..!" Leah says, blushing even harder. "I'll let you out after like... ten minutes. Just a friendly... thing... between friends... y'know..?" Nikki seems to have picked up on what you were thinking and gets up to stand in front of the door. You sigh, finding it hard to believe you're about to go through with this over a game. [[Alright, swallow me...->Tabletop Hangout- Lose 2]]

Morgan..." Tara adds. "No way, I'm not just gonna let you eat me!" Nikki snaps. "I don't care what I said earlier, I was just messing around. You're crazy for thinking I was seriously suggesting something that dumb!" "Geez, do you really have to be an obnoxious winner //and// a sore loser?" you say, getting up from the bed and walking over to her. "It's like Tara said, we didn't necessarily agree to //digesting// the loser, but you //are// taking a dip in my guts." "It's not happening! You really think you can--hey, get off!" You lean in and grab Nikki's arms while she's ranting at you, pulling her close. She's clearly not going to go willingly despite the bet, which you suppose you can't really blame her for, so you don't waste a second before shoving her head into your mouth. Tara lets out a nervous yelp. "I SAID GET OFF YOU BI--" You quickly advance past her head, replacing her protests with muffled rage as her mouth is sealed into your body. Holding her arms tight to her side, you push forward, your lips sliding over her shoulders and down past her chest. She isn't the most pleasant prey you've ever had--her hair was greasy and the dye in it left an unpleasant chemical aftertaste, and now the zipper from her sweatshirt is dragging along your tongue--but she's definitely one of the most satisfying after how she was acting. Your shirt begins to ride up as your belly stretches to accomodate Nikki's entrance<<if $outfit is "uniform">>, one of your buttons even snapping off before you're able to adjust them properly<</if>>. Her legs kick and flail as they hang out of your mouth, her efforts ultimately useless as she continues to sink into your body. Bit by bit, you feel her form slide down your throat toward your stomach, squirming and shifting the whole way down. Soon enough, her feet disappear through your lips, one final swallow sealing her away in your distended gut. "//*UUurrp!*// To the victor go the spoils!" You say with a laugh, patting the side of your belly. You drop down onto the bed to sit in Nikki's former spot, pushing out another burp in the process. "G-Gutted..!" Leah says, somewhat quietly and with a flustered look on her face. You get the feeling she thought it would be funny, but second guessed herself and couldn't fully commit. "YOU FUCKING BITCH!" Nikki roars, already thrashing against the walls of your stomach. "This is //my// fucking dorm, I invited you here! You can't do this, get me the hell out of here! NOW!" "Oh shut //*URP*// up, you did this to yourself," you say, giving her a little squeeze. "We could have just all had a fun game night, but //*urp*// you had to be all hyper competitive... Plus, this whole bet was your idea in the first place." "But, um, you are gonna let her back out again right..?" Tara mumbles, eying your squirming belly with a worried expression. "Probably," you say, giving your belly a teasing poke. "Once she's learned her lesson and I've //*urp*// gotten to enjoy my prize a little.~" "Right, well, um, I-- This has been really fun guys but I, um, I'm tired so I'm gonna go," Tara blurts out, getting up and scurrying over to the door. "Okay bye..!" You and Leah exchange a look, then laugh a little. But then you frown and glance down at your stomach. "You don't think she's going to tell Morgan about this, do you?" "Um... honestly I would probably be too nervous to and she seems worse than me, so..." Leah says with a slight laugh. "But, uh, don't worry! If it comes up I'll vouch for you and say you let her back out." "...and what about if I don't?" Leah blushes and fidgets a little. "Well, Tara wouldn't know for sure if you did or didn't, so..."

<<if $preyHealth is 0>> <<append "#digestion">> <<if _rematchAccepted>>You get completely engrossed in your gaming with Leah, both of you enjoying yourselves much more than earlier on with Nikki in charge. There's playful banter when you're being competitive, and instead of going all out every time you mix it up every now and then by trying new characters or adding silly rule restrictions. You almost entirely forget about your prey, not noticing as her movements slow, or as your belly gradually grows softer and rounds out. Your next match with Leah is a close one, both of you giving it your all. The first round comes down to the wire, ending with Leah swallowing your character, and the second starts to wind down toward a smiilar end. Things start to get even more intense for you as you feel a pressure begin to build in your abdomen, forcing you to strain against it so you can keep your focus on the game. Then, you manage to swallow Leah's character while she has too little health to escape. You pump your fist in the air to celebrate the narrow victory, but the sudden movement seems to shake something loose in your gut, sending an even more intense pressure bubbling up from the botton. "//*OUUURRRrrrrp!*//" A monstrous belch rises up your throat almost perfectly in time with your character's victory burp in the game. You grin and poke your belly, its contents soft and mushy. "I think our host is finally gone," you chuckle.<<else>>As Nikki's struggling starts to die down, you find yourself getting engrossed in watching Leah play. She seems to have gotten completely lost in it herself, having barely said anything since she started playing. It's a comfortable, relaxing silence though, not something that feels awkward. The air is filled with nothing but soft gurgling from your stomach and the sound effects from the game. You gently massage your belly while you watch her play, feeling the surface get softer over time as the form underneath grows less distinct. After a while, there's no trace of your prey left, your gut completely rounded and its contents feeling mushy and sloshing around when you push in with your fingers. A pressure starts to rise through your stomach as you poke at it. "//*OUUURRRrrrrp!*// Aah..." you say, sighing in contentment from the release. Leah jumps a bit in your seat, seemingly having forgotten she wasn't alone after getting so focused on the game. You laugh as she regains her bearings and blushes.<</if>> @@color:lime;Nikki has been digested!@@ "I, uh, bet this isn't the way she saw tonight going..." Leah says, very gently poking yor belly.

"Heh, thanks," you reply. <<if $fat < 20>>"I might need to hit the gym before the next club meeting to make that convincing though, after all this gets packed away," you chuckle. <</if>>Then you yawn. "How late do you think it is? Haven't checked the time in a while." "Yeah, same. We should probably get going," Leah says. "It, um, actually feels kinda weird being in her room now that she's totally gone..." "Ha, yeah, I kinda get what you're saying," you reply.

You try to fight it, grabbing at the top of your gut and attempting to relax your stomach muscles, but there's nothing you can do. Painful waves of pressure force her further and further toward freedom, the taste of bile soon stinging at the back of your tongue. You finally relent, and she's quickly ejected from your body and out onto the floor of her dorm in a slimy heap. She's completely drenched in stomach acid and chyme, <<if $turn > 7>>her clothes eaten away to the point that she's down to just her underwear, and even that looks like it's barely holding it together.

You head for the door, absentmindedly rubbing your stomach, and she's eager to follow.<<if $leahRel < 2>> <<Leah 1>><</if>> <<include "playerPredFail">>[[Head back to your dorm->September 6th- Night]]

<<Time 20.5>><<set $tabletopHangoutReleasedNikki to true>><<set $ateNikki to false>>"Nah, I was just thinking that it was probably about time to get her //*urp*// out," you say. You give your belly a hard poke. "How are you feeling in there?" "DISGUSTING! Get me the hell out you freak!" Nikki roars, returning your poke with a hard shove that stretches your gut. "Good! Hopefully you reflect on why you ended up in there in the first place and learn to //*urp*// chill out in the future," you say, patting your belly. You plant your hands firmly on the bed next to you and push yourself up into a standing position. "Just shut up and throw me up, bitch!" You sigh and look down at your belly, frowning. But, you'd rather not risk Morgan coming after you over this, so you wrap your arms around the lower half of your gut and prepare to push her out. "Yeah, yeah, hang on..." You push in and up with your arms as hard as you can, not making any attempt to be gentle with her. You tighten, then release, your stomach muscles a few times, until finally your body gets the message and clamps down on her without your input. A wave of brief but intense nausea washes over you, and soon after Nikki's head is forced back into your mouth. With you actively encouraging her passage, it doesn't take long for her to be ejected from your body and out onto the floor of her dorm in a slimy heap. She's completely drenched in stomach acid and chyme, her pants peppered with holes and her hoodie fraying at the seams. You may have overdone it a little for something that was just meant to be a brief punishment. She looks up at you with pure rage on her face. "GET. OUT!" she shouts. "Both of you! You're never fucking invited here again, and you are gonna //pay// for this!" You sigh again, wiping your mouth with one hand. "Yeah well we wouldn't want to come back after this anyways. You're a terrible host." Leah anxiously fidgets with her hands, looking back and forth between you and Nikki without saying anything. You head for the door and she's eager to follow.<<if $leahRel < 2>> <<Leah 1>><</if>> <<include "playerPredFail">>[[Head back to your dorm->September 6th- Night]]

<<Time 20>>"Ok, fine..." you sigh. You get up from your seat and stand in front of Leah. "Let's get this over with..." "It, um, it won't be so bad, promise..." Leah mumbles, her face bright red as she looks you over. <<if $leahInfo4 > 0>>You cringe as you notice she's drooling a little, making you recall from your conversation yesterday that despite her apparent hesitation she's going to //really// enjoy this...<<else>>You swear that she's drooling a little.<</if>> You sigh and reluctantly hold your hands out for her. She carefully takes them, trembling a little, and brings them to her waiting mouth. As soon as she's gotten a taste, she starts to swallow you down at a worrying pace, your arms quickly disappearing down her gullet. You close your eyes as your head slides into the warm embrace of her insides, trying to comfort yourself with the thought that at least it's <<if $leahRel > 2>>a friend<<else>>Leah<</if>> and not Nikki you're going into. <<if $breastSize > 44>>Once your chest starts to slide into her mouth, she slows considerably. Wanting to get this over with, you wriggle and try to push yourself forward to assist her, but she freezes as soon as you start moving. Then she snaps out of it and begins swallowing you down even faster than before. You hear her heartbeat quicken and blush a little, realizing that though the delay //was// due to the size of your bust, it <<if $leahInfo4 > 0>>definitely<<else>>probably<</if>> wasn't because she was struggling to get you down... The rest of you quickly disappears into her body, and soon you're curling up inside her gut.<<else>>She seems to be eager to get this part over with, not slowing down for a moment as she swallows you down. Her throat wraps tightly around your head as you're squeezed down toward her stomach, your chest already following close behind. She grabs your waist and lifts up what remains of your body on the outside, smoothly guiding you towards her waiting gut, almost like you just fell forward into her. Soon, her lips seal shut behind your feet, locking you into her slimy insides.<</if>> "//*Oouurrp!*// Hah..." A loud belch escapes Leah's lips shortly after the last of you is deposited into her stomach, causing the walls to squeeze in a bit. You feel her pat her belly. "You were... d-delicious..." she says quietly, running a hand along the front of her gut. "There, exactly where losers belong~" you hear Nikki sneer. Leah jumps a little as another pair of hands pushes in on you. "But, um, you are gonna let her back out again right..?" Tara faintly mumbles. "Y-Yeah of course!" Leah blurts out. "<<if $leahRel > 2>>I wouldn't digest a friend...<<else>>This is, uh, just harmless //*urp*// fun, right?<</if>>" "Right, well, um, I--This has been really fun guys but I, um, I'm tired so I'm gonna go," Tara says, sounding like she's getting further away. "Okay bye..!" "God damn, what a baby..." Nikki grumbles. "Hey, lay off," you say, shifting against the walls of Leah's stomach. "You've been rude all night and made things super awkward with this bet, I'd leave too..." You flinch as something smacks Leah's gut, pushing out a burp. "Food doesn't talk," Nikki says. "Losers don't get to taunt the winner's... prey..." you say, fumbling the end of your retort a bit as you realize you're willingly referring to yourself as prey. Leah's stomach groans in approval. "Sh-She can talk... she's, um, not f-food..." Leah nervously asserts. "Whatever..." Nikki grumbles. "We're not just gonna sit here and listen to you digest her though. Rematch, you and me--I know you just got lucky last time." "I'm not //*urp*// digesting her..." Leah mumbles. "Sure," Nikki chuckles. "I still want that rematch." "Okay, you're on..!" Leah says. "I'll let her out after the match, that'll be, um, a good measure of time, right?" "As long as..." A worrying groan rumbles through the walls and cuts you off. "As long as you remember to get me out..." "You're going down this time..." Nikki grunts. The walls of Leah's stomach knead and shift around you while the two of them play their match, the sounds of the game faintly reaching you despite the barrier of flesh. You do your best to get comfortable and ignore the acid slowly trickling in, taking some deep breaths to stay calm. You trust Leah to let you out, but that doesn't make being inside an active stomach any less worrying<<if $leahInfo4 > 0>>. Especially knowing that she's very likely getting off to this<</if>>... Your world shifts every now and then as Leah gets invested in the game. From the sounds of it, she lost the first round. The second starts soon after, and the situation inside of her becomes alarming. You can feel the walls starting to squeeze a bit tighter, Leah clenching her muscles instinctively as she focuses hard on the match. You try to squirm into a better position in response, but she immediately squeezes you even tighter. When you try to protest, her stomach crushes in painfully tight, locking you in place. "//*Urrp*// S-Sorry $name!" Leah squeaks, releasing her hold. From the faint sounds you can here, the second round is over. "Oh god I was so focused on the game I--" "Well it's not over yet," Nikki snickers. You begin to worry much more about the current situation as they start the final round, Leah's stomach once again starting to clamp down on you as her attention is taken by the game. You brace yourself, doing you best to keep the slimy walls at bay as you remind yourself that it's almost over. A concerning amount of acid has built up at this point, but just as you're about to abandon your willing compliance with this arrangement, the walls relax and Leah grunts in irritation. "Ha! See, I told you I was better, the tournament was just a fluke!" Nikki gloats. "Hey, I was //*Urrp*// distracted, this wasn't a fair rematch..." Leah pouts. "Let's go again, I just had to get used to playing on a full stomach." "Sure thing," Nikki quickly replies. "H-Hey! Leah, you need to let me out!" you protest, pushing against the walls of her stomach. "//*urp*// R-Right!" Leah says, quickly shifting to stand up. "Hey c'mon, match already started, she'll last another!" Nikki says. "No! Get me out!" you shout, starting to struggle in earnest. "Of course, s-so //*urp*// sorry..!" Leah says. "Ugh, fine, at least do it in my shower so it's easy to clean..." you faintly hear Nikki grumble. The world shakes and sways as Leah scurries into the bathroom. Without another word, you feel her squeeze her belly as the walls crash down around you. You're crushed painfully tight for an uncomfortably long period of time, Leah seemingly struggling to get her stomach to cooperate in letting you go, but eventually you feel your head push back up into her esophagus. The rest of you quickly follows, and soon enough you're sprawled out on the cold tiles of Nikki's shower, drenched in slimy fluids from head to toe.<<set $outfitState to "drenched">> "Th-Thanks..." you mutter, sitting up and rubbing your head as you regain your bearings. <<if $leahRel > 2>>Leah is giving you a wide eyed stare, her face bright red and her hands covering her mouth<<else>>Leah is looking away from you, blushing furiously.<</if>> "U-Um, are you okay?" she says. "Yeah... you just had me worried there for a second," you say with a weak chuckle. You rise back to your feet and stretch your arms, your whole body stiff after being curled up inside of her. "I think this is a good time to call it a night..." "Y-Yeah, I'm ready to leave too..." Leah mumbles as the two of you head out of the bathroom. "Just close the door on your way out," Nikki grunts. She's barely paying attention to you, having already moved on to playing solo after Leah chose to release you. [[Head back to your dorm->Tabletop Hangout- Lose: Recovery]]<<set $totalEscaped += 1>>

<<Time 20.25>><<set $leahDorm to true>>You step out of Nikki's dorm and into the hall, Leah trailing behind you. Still coated in her digestive fluids, you trudge across the bridge, making your way back to your dorm to wash off. Leah stays quiet for a while, but speaks up when you turn to say goodbye before heading downstairs. <<if $leahRel > 2>>"I-I'm so sorry $name! I shouldn't have agreed to the bet, o-or at least not gone through with it when I won..!" she blurts out. "I almost got carried away, I knew I would, and I could have... I almost... P-Please don't hate me..." "Woah, Leah, Leah! It's okay," you say, giving her a reassuring smile and taking a step closer. "I don't hate you! Everything turned out fine, so no hard feelings. Only person I'm mad at is Nikki." "A-Are you sure? But I--" You grab her hands. "Here," you say. You smirk and briefly squeeze them, then let go, leaving them coated in her own stomach acid. "Now I've done something unpleasant to you, we're even." "O-Oh, well..." Leah mumbles. She has a nervous smile, still looking concerned. "I really need a shower, and you should probably wash your hands," you say with a little laugh. "I'll see you around, okay?" "Y-Yeah... um, bye then!" she replies, hurrying into her dorm.<<else>>"Um, I'm..." she starts to say, fidgeting with her hands and trailing off. "I'm sorry $name, I shouldn't have swallowed you, the bet was stupid... I'll see you at club..!" She hurries off into her dorm before you can say anything in response. You sigh, but smile, finding it hard to hold any ill will towards her. <<if $leahRel < 2>> <<Leah 1>><</if>><</if>> You continue on your way downstairs, heading back to your dorm. <<if $emmaInjured>>\ Stepping inside, you find that Emma must still be out with Sunny. Probably for the best right now. After grabbing some pajamas to change into, you head into the bathroom and turn on the shower. After stripping off your soiled clothes, you step into the warm current of water and let out a sigh of relief, feeling the slimy coating on your skin wash away. Since you've got nothing else to do tonight, you really take your time getting clean, making sure no trace of your time spent in Leah's stomach remains. Eventually, you dry off and get changed, finally returning to the room. Just as you're going to sit down on your bed, the door swings open, and Sunny marches in. "Good, $name you're awake still!" she laughs. She starts to knock her hands against the wall to create a drumroll. "Introducing... the new and improved Emma!" She swivels and snaps her fingers into guns pointing at the doorway. Emma slowly steps in from the hall, grinning but blushing a little and nervously holding her hands in front of her. "Um, hey $name..!" she says. You raise your eyebrows a bit and look her over. She seems to be wearing a slightly different outfit than before, now sporting a paler blue tank top that's short enough to leave some of her midriff exposed. Much more striking, however, is her hair. It's been trimmed back to clean up the damage Zoey's stomach gave it, leaving her with curled ends that barely reach lower than her ears. Her old orange highlights are still mostly gone, but she now has a bright blue streak going from the front off to the right side. <<if $emmaRel > 0>>"Woah, Emma!" you say with a grin. "It look great!" "Thanks! Haha I've always wanted to try having blue in my hair!" she beams, running a hand along the streak. "I didn't think I'd be able to pull off short hair, but Sunny took me to this amazing place in town." "You can always trust me to know where to go," Sunny says with a snap. "I'll catch you two tomorrow!"<<else>>"Oh, nice," you say pretty flatly. "Oh don't mind her, she's just annoyed that you're definitively cooler than her now," Sunny says, waving her hand dismissively. "I'll catch you tomorrow, I should get back to my dorm!"<</if>> "Bye Sunny! Thanks again, tonight was just what I needed!" Emma calls out as Sunny heads off into the hall. She drops back onto her bed with a contented sigh. It seems like she's finally completely shaken off the near-digestion experience she had earlier in the week. "Well, I'm kinda exhausted after all that, I'm gonna get ready for bed." She gets up and heads into the shower, leaving you alone in the room again. After a little while, you start to realize just how tired you've gotten as well, and decide to call it a night.\ <<else>>You find Emma lounging on her bed when you step inside. She starts to greet you, but takes a sharp inhale and shifts further back on her bed when she sees the state you're in. "$name, what happened? Are you okay?" she says. "Yeah I'm fine," you say, stopping to grab some pajamas to change into before heading for the bathroom. "I, uh, lost a bet." "Oh, that's... I've been there," she replies with a laugh. "Um, enjoy your shower!" With a change of clothes and a towel at the ready, you head into the bathroom and turn on the shower. After stripping off your soiled clothes, you step into the warm current of water and let out a sigh of relief, feeling the slimy coating on your skin wash away. Since you've got nothing else to do tonight, you really take your time getting clean, making sure no trace of your time spent in Leah's stomach remains. Eventually, you dry off and get changed, finally returning to the room. You chat with Emma for a little while, but she goes to take her nightly shower not long after yours, and as you sit on your bed you start to realize how exhausted you're feeling after that whole ordeal. So, not long after she finishes her shower, you head back into the bathroom to get ready for bed.<</if>> [[Get ready for bed->September 6th- End of Day]]<<set $outfit to "pjs">><<set $outfitState to "normal">>

<<Time 18.5>><<set $day6HuntWithSam to "challenge">>"Fine, you're on!" you say, crossing your arms. "Great. Just so you know, there might not be much I can do if you get yourself eaten," Sam chuckles. "Lets get going." The two of you head over to Lampton, returning to the barren dining hall. The room is almost completely empty at this point<<if $metBetty>>, though curiously you're pretty sure you can see Betty sitting alone, without Alice, at one of the far tables<</if>>. "So what's the plan here?" you say. "Finding specifically two sophomores is probably gonna be pretty tough. Unless you're completely crazy and were planning on just, like, knocking on doors asking people to help us with this." "Hey, if it comes down to it I could pull that off," Sam says. "But for now I was thinking we'd just walk around upstairs for a while, maybe catch people coming out of their rooms. Or coming back to their room, Maeve says a lot of people go out into town Friday night." "Yeah, that makes sense to me," you reply. The two of you head for the stairs. "And it's not like we need to find two we can eat at the exact same time, you know. I could grab one and then you can keep looking for another, it would just be more convenient if they're together already," Sam continues. "Or //I// could eat one first and leave you to find another," you say, giving her a little nudge. "//*Pfft*//, I'm still positive you're bluffing, so no way would you beat me to the punch." Arriving at the second floor of Lampton, the two of you start your hunt. You head down the hallway to your left, walking past the rows of dorms in hopes of finding suitable prey. It starts to sink in that this is actually a pretty dangerous idea, but you've already committed at this point. Sam would be unbearably smug about it if you were to back down now. Perhaps predictably, you don't have much luck. The two of you slowly make your way back and forth between the two dorm hallways on this floor, never managing to run into //anyone// even after a few loops. The closest you came was once seeing a door at the end of the hall close just as you turned the corner. At Sam's suggestion, you take a break to sit at one of the tables overlooking the dining hall next to the stairs. "This was exciting when I first had the idea..." Sam says with a sigh, leaning forward over the table to rest her head on her arms. You faintly hear her stomach growl. "Probably should have waited for a busier time of day..." "Giving up, then?" you tease. Sam smiles and sits back up a little. "Hey, I skipped dinner you know. Maybe I'll just have to eat //you// if this doesn't work out." "If we put this on hold for now we can probably still--" "Shh--look!" Sam says, cutting you off. "I think that's just what we're looking for." She points down toward the dining hall and you follow with your eyes. Coming in from the courtyard are two girls you don't recognize--a tall brunette with a ponytail and a smaller girl with short black hair sporting some pink highlights. They seem to be laughing about something together. "Alright follow my lead, we'll convince them we're clueless freshman looking for help with something, then strike when we get a good opening," Sam says, getting up from her seat. She smirks at you. "And I'll even be nice and let you have the short one." "Oh, how generous," you reply, shaking your head. The two of you head downstairs, walking straight towards the other pair. "No, no, really! This guy just came up and..." the tall girl says, trailing off and narrowing her eyes as she spots you and Sam approaching. She's wearing an open flannel shirt over a short white tank top, and now that you're closer you can see freckles dotting her pale skin. "Uh, hey?" "Hey! You guys are sophomores, right?" Sam says. "Yeah, and you two are obviously freshmen," the short girl answers. She's wearing a long sleeved black dress with pink highlights, one that leaves her upper chest fully exposed. She places a hand on her hip and pouts. "Why, hoping to see what a real pred's stomach can do?" The taller girl squints at Sam, then suddenly gets a worried look on her face. "Shit... Maria look at her, that one's Maeve's sister..." The short girl, Maria, glances at Sam, then turns to the other girl. "Fuck, good eye Liz..." she says in a hushed tone. "Guess we're not ending tonight with a meal, you heard about what happened to--" "Guess this works too," Sam says with a sigh. She lunges forward, grabbing the taller girl while the two of them are focused on each other. <<link "Now or never..!">> <<set $pacifist to false>> <<set _checkType to "oral">> <<set _aggressive to false>> <<set _baseline to 9>> <<set _modifier to 5>> <<set $stamina -= 10>> <<include "voreCheck">> <<if _swallow>> <<set $oralXP += 2>> <<set $strengthXP += (1 + Math.trunc(_modifier * .5))>> <<goto "Hunt With Sam- Eat Maria">> <<else>> <<replace "#check">>\ "Hey, get off!" the taller girl, Liz, shouts as she starts to grapple with Sam. Having no choice but to follow her lead, you move in to grab Maria, getting a firm hold on her shoulders while she was distracted by Sam's advance. However, she's quick to react, turning and grabbing your arms before you can properly lock hers down. With a surprising amount of strength for her petite frame, she pushes you away. @@color:orange;Your strength fails you.@@ "You..!" Maria hisses, though quickly trails off as she turns to look at her partner. Sam has her arms locked down tight and is already starting to swallow her head. "LIZ!" You wait for another opening, expecting her to try and interrupt Sam, but instead... she lunges at //you//, nearly tackling you to the ground. After the surprise passes, you attempt to grab her, but she's already swiveled behind you. She pushes you down to your knees with a kick to the back of your legs, then leans in to restrain you by hugging you tight with one arm, locking down your own. Your eyes widen as you feel her breath on the back of your neck and her free hand grabs your jaw. "Let go of Liz right now Mckenn, or I'll eat your friend here!" Maria shouts, gripping you painfully tight. Her words come out frantic, almost nervous. "I-I'm serious, I don't care if you tell Maeve, she won't get here in time to stop me!" Sam pauses, her lips just starting to slide over Liz's chest. There's a tense silence as the two of you lock eyes, an unmistakably panicked expression on your face. Her hesitation is clear, but you breathe a sigh of relief as she finally pulls back and spits out Liz's head. "Fine, let her go..." Sam says, coughing from the discomfort of pulling her prey out of her throat. She lets go of Liz, who quickly backs away, her head and shoulders coated in saliva. "LIZ!" Maria shouts, instantly letting go of you and rushing over to the other girl. She pulls her into a tight hug. "Liz are you okay!?" "Yeah... Yeah, I'm fine..." Liz says, returning the hug with just as much passion. She gives Sam a worried glance. "Come on, we should go..." The two of them hurry off towards the stairs without another word. You get back on your feet, a bit dazed from the quick turn of events. "She was... so agile... what the hell..." you mumble. Sam doesn't look happy. "Great work $name," she says dryly. "I'm really convinced that you weren't lying after that." "I... thank you," you say. "Seriously, I appreciate it. I don't think she was bluffing..." Sam sighs. "Yeah, yeah... You're gonna have to make this up to me some day, that was an amazing meal I just gave up..." "I will," you say with a nod. "But I don't think we're gonna find any replacements at this point..." Sam sighs again, crossing her arms. "No, I guess I'm just gonna go hungry tonight..." she grumbles. "Another day. I'll see you later..."<<if $samRel > 1>> <<Sam -1>><</if>> The two of you part ways, Sam heading towards the stairs. Rather than awkwardly tag along after already saying goodbye, you head outside to take the path through the courtyard back to your room instead.

<<set $day6HuntWithSam to "betty">>"Oh absolutely, that sounds like a perfect way to end the week," you reply with a grin. "I even ran into her and Alice earlier today--still assholes." "Great!

"Yeah, yeah, I remember," you say, shaking your head.<<else>>"I've got dibs when we find her, by the way." "What? But you're the one who ate Cassidy..." "Yeah I know, but I didn't eat dinner and I was already planning to hunt, so..." She shrugs. "That's the deal for getting my help." "Fine, as long as she's getting put in her place I guess it doesn't matter..." you say.<</if>> It's pretty clear that Betty isn't in the courtyard, and Sam feels like its better to search more proactively when hunting someone specific, so the two of you head into Karbo. The building is pretty barren at this hour, but you're hoping you might be able to catch her coming or going from her dorm, though you're not sure which is hers. As you start to approach the dorm halls, however, a thought occurs to you. While you're eager for revenge against her and Alice, especially after ending up in her stomach, Betty has particularly had it out for Emma since day one.

She starts to knock her hands against the wall to create a drumroll. "Introducing... the new and improved Emma!" She swivels and snaps her fingers into guns pointing at the doorway. Emma slowly steps in from the hall, grinning but blushing a little and nervously holding her hands in front of her. "Um, hey $name..!" she says. You raise your eyebrows a bit and look her over. She seems to be wearing a slightly different outfit than before, now sporting a paler blue tank top that's short enough to leave some of her midriff exposed. Much more striking, however, is her hair. It's been trimmed back to clean up the damage Zoey's stomach gave it, leaving her with curled ends that barely reach lower than her ears. Her old orange highlights are still mostly gone, but she now has a bright blue streak going from the front off to the right side. <<if $emmaRel > 0>>"Woah, Emma!" you say with a grin. "It look great!" "Thanks! Haha I've always wanted to try having blue in my hair!" she beams, running a hand along the streak.

"I'll catch you two tomorrow!"<<else>>"Oh, nice," you say, turning your attention back to your phone.

She drops back onto her bed with a contented sigh. It seems like she's finally completely shaken off the near-digestion experience she had earlier in the week. "Well, I'm kinda exhausted after all that, I'm gonna get ready for bed." She gets up and heads into the shower, leaving you alone in the room again.

Having no choice but to follow her lead, you move in to grab Maria, getting a firm hold on her shoulders while she was distracted by Sam's advance. She's quick to react and tries to push you away, grabbing your arms, but you're able to keep her locked in a stalemate. You grapple with her, your arms starting to tremble, but then--she spots Sam starting to advance down Liz's chest and falters with concern. You take advantage, quickly leaning in to swallow her head. @@color:yellowgreen;You overpowered your prey.@@ Maria yells in outrage, but her voice is muffled by your throat. You start to swallow her down, dragging her head deeper into your esophagus. She must be wearing perfume--you're treated to a pleasant floral aroma as your lips slide down her neck and over her shoulders. Pressing her arms tightly to her side, you start to lift her up to better feed her into your mouth. This almost proves to be a mistake as she starts to flail her legs and comes close to knocking you off balance, but you manage to steady yourself, her stomach beginning to slide into your mouth as your swallows gradually pull her deeper and deeper. You can feel your belly already beginning to bulge out with her head. A strange sensation spreads through your chest from her constant wriggling, refusing to submit to the embrace of your body for even a moment on her way down. You continue undeterred, her body disappearing into yours bit by bit despite her resistance. A few more swallows draw her thighs down into your throat and she finally seems to admit defeat. You're certain she's just saving her strength for the struggle ahead, as she almost seems to be helping you along as the rest of her legs are pulled in. You gently rest your hands on your belly and feel it swell as the last of her is squeezed out of your throat and into your stomach. "//*OOUUuurrrp*// Man, she was a fighter..." you say, slightly panting. You can feel Maria shifting herself into a more comfortable position inside you. "Lucky, mine was so //*urp*// busy thinking about Maeve she barely put up any fight on the way down..." Sam says, giving her bloated belly a smack. She's sitting in a chair from one of the nearby tables. "I'd argue //you're// the lucky one," you say, waddling over to take a seat across from her. "Well, yeah... but sometimes it's fun when they //*uurp*// put up a fight..." Sam says. She turns to you with a grin. "Good job, getting 'em down is only step one though. You haven't proven anything yet." "Yeah, yeah, just //*URP*// watch and learn," you tease, though you grimace a little at the end of your statement from a sudden jolt of pain.

"Why don't we //*urp*// help them get a bit closer.~" Sam still seems confused at first, but then realization flashes in her eyes. "Oh..!" You swear you see her blush a little as she pushes herself up out of her chair. She stands with her belly just barely touching yours. "Could be fun." "What could be fun..?" you hear a voice ask from inside Sam. You feel Maria jump a little inside of you, then push towards the source, rubbing your skin against Sam's. "Liz! Liz are you still okay!?" "Yeah, Maria, I'm--" "Chatting wasn't really what //*UUrrrp*// we had in mind~" Sam says. She grabs the sides of your belly and pushes forward, cutting Liz off as she squishes her gut against yours. "Don't blame me if this makes you lose her, it was your //*URP*// idea." A loud belch rushes out of your mouth as you're caught off guard by her sudden advance, but then you grin and place your hands on her in return. Tightening your grip a little, you start to push forward as hard as you can, crushing your bellies together. "Oh don't you w--//*UUuurrruup!*//.. worry about me," you say, blushing as the pressure forces out a huge belch.

"I mean, I like Emma and I think it's probably important for her to get her first prey out of the way early if she's gonna last here," you explain. You smirk. "Plus, even though she did also try to eat me, I'm pretty sure it'll piss Betty off //way// more if Emma is the one that eats her." Sam purses her lips, still standing with her arms crossed. "Please?" She sighs and her shoulders sag. "Fiiine... I guess it could be fun watching a goody two-shoes fall off their high horse..." "Thanks, you're the best!" you say. "Promise I'll make it up to you." "You better," Sam says with a smirk. You head over and unlock the door to your dorm, stepping inside with Sam. Emma is lounging on her bed and looks over as you enter. <<if $day6Hunt1 != "none">>"Heya $name!" Emma says with a smile. "I was starting to get a little worried, haven't seen you since before lunch. Who's this?"<<else>>"Hey again $name!" Emma says with a smile. "Who's this?"<</if>> "Hey! This is my friend Sam," you say. "You busy right now?" "Hey," Sam chimes in, giving her a very brief wave. "Hey, nice to meet you! I'm Emma," Emma replies with a smile. She shifts to sit at the edge of the bed. "And no, not at all! I was planning on just relaxing for the rest of the night." "Perfect, come with us then!" You place your hands on your hips and grin at her. "We're hunting down Betty." "H-Huh?" Emma says. "Why all of a sudden?" "Well, me and Sam actually tried this the other day and had to settle for Cassidy instead, but I ran into her on the hunt again tonight and we're giving it another shot," you explain. "But, um, why do you need me to come along?" "Cause Betty ruined your first day and she's been bullying you ever since!" you say. "Obviously you should be the one to eat her." "Yeah, come on, we're losing time," Sam says. "Um... I've had a long day, and it's already pretty late so I doubt--" "Ugh! This girl is a total bitch, right?" Sam says, throwing up her hands. "Well, yeah, but--" "And she won't leave you alone, right? Even though based on this conversation I'm sure you've tried to talk things out?" "That's true..." "Then eat her ass!" Sam says, jabbing a finger towards Emma. She seems frustrated. "If not she's gonna eat //you// before long. How do you think things work at a //vore school//?" "You should probably eat the rest of her too," you quietly chime in, an impish smile on your face. Sam lightly punches your arm. "Shut up, don't ruin my motivational rant," she says, though she's laughing a little. "I... No, you're right, Betty's been awful every time I've met her," Emma says with a sigh. "I'm just not normally so... proactive, with something like this. But... okay." She stands up, a nervous smile on her face. "Let's go find her." "Finally, let's get this over with..." Sam grumbles, heading for the door. [[Begin the hunt->Hunt With Sam- Betty: Emma 2]]

<<if $predName is "sam">><<set $predName to "!ERR:setPredName">>\ "Hey, Sam," you say, stopping near the door to your dorm. "I know we established that you had dibs, but--" "Nope, I told you," Sam says, crossing her arms, "<<if $ateCassidy>>This one is mine<<else>>This is my dinner for tonight<</if>>, that's the deal for my help. You can't have her." "It wasn't me that I was thinking," you say. "Betty's been shitty to me, but my beef's more with Alice. My roommate Emma though--Betty has been absolutely awful to her. If she tags along and you help me convince her to be the one to eat Betty, I promise I'll help you catch a meal another time to make up for it." Sam frowns and cocks her head a little. "Emma's the girl you introduced me to the other day, right?" "Uh, yeah..." "Yeah absolutely no deal then," she says with a laugh. "You're crazy, helping her hunt someone down would be so fucking awkward... Plus no way am I giving up a meal for her after that argument." "Yeah, fair enough actually..."\ <<elseif $emmaInjured or ($emmaRel < 2)>>\ <<set $day6HuntWithSam to "betty">>"Oh absolutely, that sounds like a perfect way to end the week," you reply with a grin. "I even ran into her and Alice earlier today--still assholes." "Great! Let's get searching then," Sam says. <<if $ateCassidy>>"Remember: you got the last one so I have dibs this time." "Yeah, yeah, I remember," you say, shaking your head.<<else>>"I've got dibs when we find her, by the way." "What? But you're the one who ate Cassidy..." "Yeah I know, but I didn't eat dinner and I was already planning to hunt, so..." She shrugs. "That's the deal for getting my help." "Fine, as long as she's getting put in her place I guess it doesn't matter..." you say.<</if>> It's pretty clear that Betty isn't in the courtyard, and Sam feels like it's better to search more proactively when hunting someone specific, so the two of you head into Karbo. The building is pretty barren at this hour, but you're hoping you might be able to catch her coming or going from her dorm, though you're not sure which is hers. \ <<else>>\ You decide not to bring up Emma<<if $samMeetEmma != "none">>, thinking better of the idea after remembering how her and Sam's last meeting went.<<else>>, realizing that the two of them may not get along all that well in a situation like this.<</if>> Plus, you did already promise Sam she could be the one to eat Betty, you doubt she'd appreciate you going back on it now.\ <</if>> "Alright, so, do you have any idea where her dorm is? Like, at least the floor it's on?" Sam asks as the two of you slowly make your way through the hall of dorms. "No clue, unfortunately," you reply. "I actually haven't seen her without Alice or Cassidy since the very first day." "Well, that's good honestly," Sam says with a smirk. "Maybe you'll get to take a stab at Alice when we find her." "Oh, you're not going to claim dibs on both of them?" you tease. "Hey, don't tempt me!" Sam laughs. The two of you patrol through both dorm halls in Karbo, even taking a quick peek around the classroom halls just in case. No luck. So, you head across the bridge to Lampton. To your surprise, right as you turn the corner into the hall of dorms... you spot her. Betty, seemingly on her way back from the dining hall and, for once, without Alice anywhere in sight. She doesn't seem to see you yet, so you quickly put a hand out to stop Sam and step back onto the bridge. "That's her, just starting to come down the hall," you whisper. "Thought so. This is perfect," Sam says with a grin. "She shouldn't even know who I am, right? You go up and start talking with her, I'll wait a bit before coming out and see if I can just walk right past to get behind her." "Yeah, that could work, we've gotta go quick..." you say. You smirk and shoot her a look before heading out. "If you bail on me, I'm getting a friend's help to hunt //you// next time." "You'll need a lot of friends to pull that off," Sam snickers. With that, you step back into the hallway and head straight for Betty. She notices you pretty quickly this time. "Ugh, seriously?" Betty groans, stopping and placing a hand on her hip. "First Alice almost makes me miss dinner, and now I have to look at your hideous face... What a waste of a Friday night." Then she smirks. "Well, then again... dinner wasn't all that filling, and I'm sure you're dying to get back inside me.~" "Aw, are you lost?" you say, smirking and crossing your arms. "I don't see Alice anywhere, you must be so scared without someone holding your hand." "What, you think I can't handle a little bitch like you on my own?" Betty says, taking a step forward with a scowl. Out of the corner of your eye, you spot Sam walk past the two of you. "Don't make me laugh." "You sure seemed to need the help last time," you reply, not backing down from her advance. "Oh, but, some of that help isn't even around anymore, is it?" Betty grabs the front of your shirt, fuming. "You think I give a shit about--" Before she can finish, Sam grabs her from behind, immediately forcing her head back into her mouth. You can hear Betty scream in outrage, the sound muffled by Sam's body. She tries to push Sam away, but you quickly step in to keep her pinned. "Cutting it a little close there..." you say. Sam slightly shrugs her shoulders, keeping most of her focus on her meal. She moves down Betty's body at an impressive pace, eagerly pulling the blonde into her throat. You help to guide her in, lifing Betty's flailing legs off the floor once her chest has disappeared behind Sam's lips. You can see Sam already massaging her belly as it starts to swell with Betty's squirming form, letting you handle everything but the swallowing. As her legs start to disappear down Sam's throat, you pull off Betty's boots and toss them aside. With just a few more swallows, the last of her is sealed away from the outside world and sent on its way down to Sam's gut. "//*UUUURrrp!*// Fuck, coming from behind was a terrible idea for her," Sam says once her throat is clear, coughing. "She was like //all// hair, that ponytail went down to her ass, what the hell..." You laugh, but pause before saying anything as you notice her face contort a little. She taps her chest and a louder belch erupts from her mouth and echoes down the hall, carrying with it the small pearl necklace Betty had been wearing. It clatters on the floor and lands right alongside her discarded boots, coated in a slimy layer of saliva. "At least her figure was great, I needed a filling meal after //*urp*// waiting this long," she continues, giving her gut a light smack. "What the //hell// was that!?" Betty roars, Sam's belly shifting with odd bulges as she begins to struggle. "Who's stomach am I even in right now?" "Not fun to have people team up and take you by surprise, is it?" you say with a smirk, stepping forward and giving Sam's belly a poke. "Shut up and answer me!" her muffled voice shouts back. "I know your ditsy little roommate is too much of a bitch for this, who is it?" Sam grins and shifts her hands to the sides of her belly. "Hey, name's Sam..." She pushes in as hard as she can, squishing her belly. " //*Uuurrp*// Hope you enjoy your stay.~" "Damn it, Sam Mckenn?" Betty grunts. "Hey look at that, I have a reputation already!" Sam says with a laugh. "Ugh, Alice knows you <<if $samAteCassidy>>ate Cassidy<<else>>helped $name eat Cassidy<</if>>..." Betty grumbles. It looks like she's still trying to squirm despite the pressure Sam is putting on her. "Well then it shouldn't take her long to figure out what happened to you," you say, giving Sam's belly a condescending pat. "This is BULLSHIT!" Betty roars, starting to thrash wildly again as soon as Sam eases up on her grip. "Get me out of here!" <<if $samPrey.length > 1>>"With her down, that makes how many already this week?" you say, ignoring Betty's plea. "You're gonna be a blob soon if you don't slow down." "Well, I've gotta make a strong first impression. I'll probably survive having to spend a little //*urp*// time at the gym," Sam replies with a laugh. "Besides, eating like this is the only way I might ever see some growth up top..." "What do you mean?" Sam sighs, slowly easing herself back to sit againt the wall. "For some reason whatever weight I gain from prey pretty much never ends up on my chest. Runs in the family, we call it the Mckenn family curse..."<<set $samInfo6 to 1>> "<<if $metMaeve>>Really? Maeve looked pretty impressive in that department." "Yeah, //now//. Way back when she was an A-cup, believe it or not, but when you eat like she does each little bit eventually adds up." "Holy shit..." "She's the real deal, $name," Sam chuckles.<<else>>Eh, big tits aren't everything<<if $samRel > 2>>. You look great with what you've got now," you say, smiling at her. "Heh, thanks."<<else>>," you say. She just shrugs at you. You can hear Betty roaring in outrage inside Sam's squirming belly, though she doesn't seem to be saying anything coherent.<</if>><</if>>\ <<else>>"Yeah, yeah, that's what they all say," Sam chuckles. She eases back to sit against the wall.<</if>> "She giving you any trouble?" you ask, joining her by the wall and giving her belly a little nudge. "Me? Never," Sam says with a grin. She gives her belly a quick squeeze. "She's //*Uuurp*// a bully though, right?" "Oh absolutely, I doubt she's said a single nice thing to anyone on campus." "Perfect," she replies. You watch as she tightens her stomach muscles, the outline of Betty's form becoming much more distinct as the walls squeeze down on her. Then she leans forward a little, pinning her belly to the floor while keeping up the pressure, letting out a loud belch when she finally relaxes again. "That means I can go //*urp*// hard on her without feeling bad about it.~" "Oh? The expert predator actually has a conscience?" you tease. "Oh shut up, you know what I mean," Sam says. "If they're just food and it's not something personal, you only do what you have to to keep them down. It's common courtesy." "Sh-Shut up, both of you!" Betty shouts, loud enough to butt into the conversation. She sounds like she's out of breath, and you notice that her struggling seems to have died down. "You have to get me out of here! I can... I can give you an in with Alice if you let me go!" "//*Pfft*//, what? That's the best you've got," you say, giving Sam's belly a poke. "Why would we care?" "Yeah, plus that ship definitely sailed when we left her roommate's half-digested bra on her door," Sam laughs. "Her mom is famous! Don't you ever get sick of being a nobody? Or are you so pathetic that you don't care about being on the bottom?" Betty replies. "Ugh, of course you'd be too stupid to get it..!" "Well, here at the school Sam's sister is royalty, so I think she's already set there," you say. "No no, now that she's called me stupid I'm thinking maybe I should //*urp*// let her go," Sam says, rolling her eyes. She wraps her arms around the front of her belly. "Ugh, you'll never--" Sam cuts her off by crushing in with her arms, pulling her gut into hug that looks painfully tight even from an outside perspective. "That's enough out of you..." Sam says, her voice a little strained from the exertion. Betty doesn't bother trying to reason with you or Sam again, though goes right back to thrashing when Sam finally relents. But, Sam seems to have her handled perfectly fine, and the two of you keep chatting while her struggling slowly dies down. Sam's belly starts to soften and round out, Betty's protests and insults fading away into a chorus of groaning and gurgling noises. Before long, the only movement you can see is the subtle shifting of Sam's stomach churning away at its meal. "Think she's done?" you ask, giving Sam's gut a curious poke. Her skin is warm and soft, your finger slightly sinking into the surface. "She's probably been done since she stopped talking, she didn't seem like the type to shut up while she still had a choice," Sam chuckles. She grabs the sides of her belly and gives it a pretty rough shake, her eyes widening a little as its contents slosh around. "//*BUUuuooorp!*// Oh yeah, she's definitely gone. Guess that's two down, one to go for your little revenge spree." You grin and give Sam's gut a little nudge. "Alice is gonna be //pissed//," you say. You glance over at Betty's discarded boots and your smile gets wider. "And we've even got another souvenir to leave her." "Don't blame me if she //*urp*// comes for revenge while I'm not around," Sam says with a laugh, starting to push herself up off the ground. "I'm sure I'll be fine," you say, offering her a hand. "Thanks for helping take care of her goons." "Hey, as long as I'm getting a meal out of it I'm happy to help," Sam says. You can hear what's left of Betty sloshing around as her belly is jostled by the movement. "I should probably turn in for the night though, I've got a lot of //*urp*// bully to digest here." "Yeah, it is starting to get late," you reply. You grab Betty's shoes and necklace off the ground, then the two of you start to make your way down the hall.<<if $predName is "sam">><<set $predName to "!ERR:setPredName">> After making a quick stop to tastefully arrange the abandoned items in front of the door to Alice's room, you and Sam head across the bridge to return to your own dorms.<<if $samRel < 4>> <<Sam 1>><</if>> [[Return to your dorm->September 6th- Night 2]]<<else>> As you walk, you're suddenly reminded of Emma's party tomorrow night, and how you still haven't gotten a chance to invite Sam... \ <<link "Invite her">><<replace "#choice">>\ "Hey by the way, my roommate's throwing a big party for the freshmen tomorrow night!

<<Time 18.75>>The three of you step out into the hall to begin your search, Sam leading the way. She clearly wants to get this over with as quickly as she can now that she's not getting a meal out of it. You give Emma a reassuring smile as you lock the door behind you. "Alright, so do either of you have any idea where she might be?" Sam asks. "Like, at least what hall her dorm is in?" "No clue, unfortunately," you reply. "I actually haven't seen her without Alice or Cassidy since the very first day." "Yeah, me either," Emma says. "We just run into her around campus every now and then..." "Great..." Sam sighs. "Let's just check all the dorms first then, probably our best bet finding her at this hour..." The three of you head upstairs, continuing on across the bridge to Lampton when you find no one in sight on the Karbo side. Things seem similarly quiet there at first, but right as you're nearing the end, someone turns the corner and almost walks right into you. Incredibly, it's a familiar, bratty blonde. "Ugh, seriously?" Betty groans, taking a step back and placing a hand on her hip. "First Alice almost makes me miss dinner, and now I have to look at your hideous faces... What a waste of a Friday night." She looks at Sam and frowns. "And who the hell is this? Did you actually find someone else pathetic enough to hang out with you?" "Good to see you too, Betty," you say dryly. "Excuse me?" Sam says. She nudges your arm a little and starts to walk towards Betty. "Are you seriously trying to group me in with these losers?" "Well you definitely look the part," Betty replies with a smug grin. "There are colors other than grey, you know." "You... Alright nevermind, $name!" Sam says, lunging forward and grabbing Betty. "HEY! Get off me, bitch!" Betty shouts, trying to pull away. You hurry in to assist, you and Sam ending up holding her from either side. "The hell was that?" you say. "I was gonna pretend to join her side so I could get in close," Sam says, laughing a little. "But I had no idea how to work with her trying to roast me instead right off the bat, you weren't kidding about her." "You were obviously with them!" Betty snaps. "You don't seriously think either of you will be able to eat me, do you?" "Well we could," you say. "Easily," Sam adds. "But it isn't our stomachs you need to worry about." You nod at Emma, giving her a smile. Betty laughs. "Her? That's the funniest thing I've heard all day." She grunts and thrashes against your grip, but you and Sam keep her locked down. "Of course //you're// behind this bullshit, you disgusting little bitch. What, are you too scared to be alone with me after last time? So afraid I'll put you<<if $emmaDitchedCookout > 0>> back<</if>> where you belong that you couldn't even try coming after me yourself? You're pathetic. I bet--" "Enough!" Emma shouts, taking an aggressive step forward. "Why are you always like this!? There's no need to be so mean! At the cookout I was just trying to be nice, but I'd barely even said hello before you started trashing me. And I get maybe you had a bad day, but you've been nasty ever since even though I didn't do anything... And now you were immediately mean to Sam too!" "And are you really gonna talk shit about grouping up? You've been holding Alice's hand since the start of the week..." you chime in. "I'm just being honest," Betty sneers. "I only needed one look to know you--all three of you--weren't worth my time. If I'm going to share this campus with trash, I expect it to at least know its place." "Ugh, you're..!" Emma says, clenching her fists. She takes a deep breath. "Can you just say you're sorry? And just... leave me alone from now on. I won't bother you, either, okay?" "Ha!" Betty laughs. She makes a hard pull to free her arm from your grip, and despite failing she continues to berate Emma. "I'll leave you alone once my gut has churned you into paste," she spits. "Now get off of me!" "Okay, Emma?" Sam says. "The time to eat her was, like, back when $name gave you the nod. I'm just gonna do it myself if you drag this out any longer." "Oh please, this bitch doesn't--" "You're right," Emma says, placing her hands on Betty's shoulders. Betty freezes for a moment, giving Emma a worried look. Somehow, the situation seems to have only just now become concerning to her. "You wouldn't dare..." It looks like Emma considers saying something to her, but instead narrows her eyes into a slight glare and leans forward, opening her mouth wide. Betty starts to thrash against your grip, her protests quickly muffled by Emma's throat as she gets to work swallowing her down. You and Sam keep her restrained as Emma glides down her body, leaning over and shifting her own grip lower to aid the process. She moves quickly, other than getting slightly hung up on her chest. There's a determined look in Emma's eyes as her lips slide down to Betty's midriff. With her arms mostly locked down by Emma's mouth, you and Sam shift your grip to her legs, lifting her up off the ground. Betty kicks and flails as her hips sink into Emma's waiting mouth, desperately protesting her fate. Emma's belly swells with the shifting form of her bully as Betty is slowly dragged down into her waiting stomach. You pull off her boots once little more than her calves remain. Soon, her feet disappear behind Emma's lips, and a final swallow seals her away inside your roommate's gut. Emma makes a sour face for a moment and taps her chest. A loud belch erupts from her mouth and echoes down the hall, carrying with it the small pearl necklace Betty had been wearing. It clatters on the floor and lands right alongside her discarded boots, coated in a slimy layer of saliva. "Bleh, so much hair... And I still taste //*urp*// foundation..." Emma mumbles. She runs a cautious hand over her swollen gut, jumping a little as Betty suddenly kicks back to life. "YOU STUPID BITCH!" she roars. "Get me out of your filthy fucking gut! You can't do this to me!" "Oh yeah? Why not?" you say, grinning at Emma and gently resting a hand on her belly. "I..!" Betty's muffled voice replies, trailing off for a moment. Then her thrashing becomes even more intense, Emma's gut shifting worryingly with her movements. "I don't deserve this! I am //not// going to get digested by some ditsy, tasteless, party-girl trash!" Betty starts to say more, but she's cut off as Emma tightens her stomach muscles, the outline of the form inside becoming much more clear. She pushes in with her hands for a moment too, then sighs and releases her hold. "I //*uuurp*// think I need to sit down..." she says. She leans back against the nearest wall, sliding down until she reaches the floor, her bloated belly straddled by her legs. "Finally..." Sam says, leaning back against the same wall with her arms crossed. "I can't believe you dragged that on so long. Good to know she wasn't great prey anyways I guess, I hate when hair gets in the way..." "Um, sorry, I just..." Emma says, fidgeting with her hands a little. Then she shakes her head and turns to Sam with a smile. "Thank you, Sam, I needed a push on this and I really appreciate the //*urp*// help." "Uh, sure..." Sam says, glancing away. "I only helped 'cause $name begged me to, so..." "She giving you much trouble?" you ask, taking a seat next to Emma. "No, I think I've got her fine." "Sh-Shut up, all of you!" Betty shouts. She sounds like she's out of breath, and you notice that her struggling seems to have died down. "You have to get me out of here! I can... I can give you an in with Alice if you let me go!" "//*Pfft*//, what? That's the best you've got," you say, giving Emma's belly a poke. "Why would we care?" "Her mom is famous! Don't you ever get sick of being a nobody? Or are you so pathetic that you don't care about being on the bottom?" Betty replies. "Ugh, of course you'd be too stupid to get it..!" "Yeah, insulting the person that ate you is definitely the right move when you're pleading to get out, great work," Sam says. "Is that really the only reason you've been hanging around Alice?" Emma says, gently resting her arms on her belly. "That's..." "Kinda sad," you finish. "Shut up! All of you!" Betty roars. "When I get out of--" Emma hugs her belly and pushes in on it with her legs, cutting Betty off as soon as she starts to struggle again. "I wish you'd shut up..." you hear her quietly mumble when she relaxes her grip again. "Hey, there you go!" Sam says, looking down at Emma with a smirk. "I figured you were gonna be so bad we'd have to help you keep her down after how much you dragged your feet, but it looks like you do know how to handle your prey." "Thanks?" Emma replies. "I did get accepted to this //*urp*// school you know, just because I don't snack on everyone I see doesn't mean I'm hopeless at it..." "Fair enough I guess," Sam says with a shrug. "You should try doing that sometime though, it's a great way to live. Doesn't it feel good having that asshole in there?" "Well..." Emma says, faintly blushing. Betty shouts something unintelligible from inside her in response to the insult, but her protest is quickly shut down by another squeeze from Emma. "Um, anyways... This was a wierd way to //*uurp*// meet Sam, we still haven't really gotten to know each other at all! How was your first week?" "Uh, fine I guess..." Sam replies. She steps away from the wall and clears her throat. "Anyways, I still haven't eaten dinner and it seems like you've got this handled, so... I'm gonna go try and find some other prey before I start seriously considering eating $name." "Oh, well, I appreciate that," Emma says with a slightly nervous laugh. "Thanks again for the help! And, uh, good //*urp*// luck?" "Yeah I really appreciate you agreeing to help with this Sam, you're the best!" you say. "Don't forget that you owe me now," Sam replies with a grin. "I'll see you around." "Oh wait, Sam!" Emma calls out just as Sam starts to leave. "I can't believe I almost forgot! I don't know if $name has mentioned anything, but I'm throwing a big party for all the //*URP*// freshman tomorrow night! It'll be in the lounge downstairs if you're interested." "Uh, sure, maybe," Sam says, clearly eager to get on her way. "See you guys."<<if $samRel < 3>> <<Sam 1>><</if>><<set $week1PartySamInvited to true>> "Good call, I actually hadn't gotten a chance to ask yet," you say. "I can't believe I hadn't run into her before, makes me worried I might have missed some others..." Emma says. "Ah I'm sure you did the best you could." You smirk and rest a hand on her belly. "I mean, even Betty got an invite, in a way." "Oh don't say that!" Emma says, chuckling. "You'll make me start to //*Urp*// feel bad for her..." The two of you hang around in the hall chatting while Betty churns away, Emma's gut filling the air with all sorts of groaning and gurgling. Betty's efforts to escape gradually fade, each burst of activity from her getting weaker and weaker, until finally stopping altogether. Emma pretty quickly gets back to her usual self, and by the time your conversation starts to die down her belly is already soft and rounded, no sign of her prey left at all. "I think she's far enough along that we don't have to worry about her getting out," you say, giving Emma's belly a pat. There's a slight sloshing sound from the impact. "Ready to head back to the room?" "Absolutely," Emma replies with a yawn. "I think I'm honestly ready for bed already..." You give her a hand getting up, her belly shaking around from the movement and kicking up all sorts of wet noises. She sighs once she's back on her feet, then cradles her softening belly with her arms, a slight smile on her face. The two of you head off down the hall back toward the bridge, leaving Betty's necklace and boots lying abandoned on the floor.<<if $aliceDorm and ($emmaRel > 3)>> You don't get far before an idea pops into your head. "Hey, you know, that's Alice's dorm right there," you say, pointing to the door to Room L202. "Oh god, she was that close by? We were making a ton of noise, good thing she didn't come out..." "Actually, I was hoping we could make a little //more// noise to make sure she heard," you snicker. "You should let out the biggest burp you can manage, right in front of her door. Send a message." Emma stops in her tracks and shoots you a look, crossing her arms. "$name." After a brief pause, an impish smile creeps onto her face. "...that's a really fun idea, she sucks too," she says with a giggle. The two of you step up to her door, grinning. Emma starts to subtly bounce her belly up from below, its contents sloshing around as she tries to build up something substantial. She tilts her head down and her face contorts a little as she seems to try and hold it in as long as she can. As soon as you see her start to open her mouth, you push in on her gut to help things along. "//*BWUUUUOOOORrrp!*// Woah..." Emma blushes a little as the roaring belch echoes through the empty hallway. You turn to each other and laugh, continuing to giggle as you take off toward the bridge.<</if>> [[Return to your dorm->September 6th- Night]]\ <<set $emmaPrey.push({name: "Betty", status: "minor", details: "after some convincing from you and Sam"})>>

"Wait, but, what's the plan..?" Emma says, hurrying behind you. "Hopefully I can just grab her before she realizes we're behind her," you say, lowering your voice. "Oh, I guess that works..." "And if it doesn't, just, uh, back me up," you add. Emma seems uncertain, but keeps up with you as you hurry up the stairs. Betty is halfway to the bridge when you catch up to her, and there's no one else in the hall right now. It's the perfect setup... until she hears you and turns around. "Ugh, seriously?" Betty groans, taking a step back and placing a hand on her hip. "First Alice almost makes me miss dinner, and now I have to look at your hideous faces... What a waste of a Friday night." "Actually you //don't// have to! We were minding our own business //behind you// up until a second ago," you reply, crossing your arms. Her noticing you is a minor setback, but you have a feeling she'll be easy to provoke into letting her guard down. "Oh cute, at least you know not to deny how disgusting you are," Betty says, a slight smile creeping onto her lips. "I could hear you coming from a mile away. What, were you thinking you could get the drop on me? That's just sad. As if either of you could even //dream// of getting me down." "We were just worried that you'd gotten lost is all," you say, smirking. "I don't see Alice anywhere, you must be so scared without someone holding your hand." "What, you think I can't handle a little bitch like you on my own?" Betty says, taking a step forward with a scowl. "Don't make me laugh." "Are you forgetting you're outnumbered?" you reply. Betty bursts out laughing. "What, her?" she says, turning to Emma. "You think this ditsy, party girl trash is going to help you take me down? That's the funniest thing I've heard all day." "Enough!" Emma shouts, taking an aggressive step forward. "Why are you always like this!? There's no need to be so mean! At the cookout I was just trying to be nice, but I'd barely even said hello before you started trashing me. And I get maybe you had a bad day, but you've been nasty ever since even though I didn't do anything..." "I'm just being honest," Betty sneers. "I only needed one look to know you--both of you--weren't worth my time. If I'm going to share this campus with trash, I expect it to at least know its place." "Ugh, you're..!" Emma says, clenching her fists. She takes a deep breath. "Can you just say you're sorry? And just... leave me alone from now on. I won't bother you, either, okay?" "Ha!" Betty laughs. "I'll leave you alone once my gut has churned you into paste!" She makes a grab for Emma, but you step in to flip the tables as soon as she gets close, getting a tight grip on one of her arms. Betty grunts in outrage and attempts to pull away, using her free hand to try and break your hold. Emma steps in to assist while the two of you grapple, managing to restrain Betty's other arm before she can wrestle herself free. @@color:yellowgreen;You overpowered your prey.@@ "Get off me!" Betty shouts, thrashing hard against your grip. "I'll--" You cut off her rant early, pulling her head into your mouth midsentence. You gag a little as your tongue runs along her face, subjected to a strong chemical flavor from the heavy amount of makeup she's wearing, and quickly begin to swallow her down. Her muffled, incoherent outrage becomes slightly fainter as the bulge in your throat slides down toward your stomach. Emma shifts to hold Betty's hands behind her back while your lips advance down the bully's body. Her chest is large enough to give you a bit of trouble, and even after you've worked the soft mounds of flesh into your throat you can feel an extra tightness where they're being compressed on the way down. You lean forward as you continue down over her midriff, smoothly transitioning to kneeling when it becomes necessary to maintain your angle of approach. Emma grabs her legs, lifting her up to help you finish her job. There's a mixture of anger and nervousness on her face. The back of your throat starts to itch as you gulp her down. You hadn't realized just how much hair she had--the end of her ponytail doesn't disappear behind your lips until you're all the way down to her hips. Picking up the pace, you quickly swallow down her legs, rubbing your belly as it stretches out with her writhing form since Emma's assistance has freed up your hands. She lets go when only Betty's calves remain visible, and you take the opportunity to pull off her boots before sealing the last of her inside. "//*UUUURRrrrp!*// Finally," you say, sitting back and squeezing your gut with a grin. Another loud belch erupts from your mouth and echoes down the hall, carrying with it the small pearl necklace Betty had been wearing. It clatters on the floor and lands right alongside her discarded boots, coated in a slimy layer of saliva. "Now what was that about //*urp*// churning into paste you were just talking about?" "YOU STUPID BITCH!" she roars. "Get me out of your filthy fucking gut! You can't do this to me!" "Pretty sure I just did, so..." you tease. You shift your position a little so that you can lean back against the wall, then give your belly another squeeze. <<if $eatenByBetty>>"Besides, it's only //*uurp*// fair that I return the favor from Monday, right?"<</if>> "Um, so how was she?" Emma says, taking a seat next to you with her eyes locked on your gut. "Kind of awful actually," you laugh. "Got a mouthful of foundation right at the start and my throat //*urp*// still feels kinda scratchy from all that hair." Emma gets a slight smile on her face and gives your belly a poke.

She's barely gotten her hands on Betty before your fingers slip and she breaks away from both of you. @@color:orange;Your strength fails you.@@ "Unbelievable!" Betty hisses. She holds the arm you'd grabbed away from her body as if she were disgusted by it. "How //dare// you!" "Just go away Betty!" Emma snaps, clenching her fists. Betty looks between you and Emma, pure rage on her face, but after a tense silence she takes a step back. "You two are gonna pay for this..!" "What's wrong, I thought you weren't scared of us?" you call out as she storms off. Then you sigh. "Well, that... didn't go how I hoped." "Sorry, I... probably could have helped more..." Emma says, folding her arms. <<if $emmaRel > 2>>"No you're fine! I think she only backed off because there were two of us, so I would have been in trouble without you," you reply with a smile. "This was probably a bad idea, let's just relax in the dorm for the night."<<else>>"It's fine..." you say with another sigh, frustrated to have spoiled this perfect opportunity.

Unfortunately, her struggling is much mroe effective than her insults. Your belly visibly writhes from all the movement and your entire upper body is starting to feel sore. "I am NOT staying in here for another second!" She pushes out hard against your stomach with all four of her limbs at once, and it's too much for your body to handle. Her arms and legs are immediately forced back against her body as your stomach clamps down hard around her, painful waves of pressure beginning to push her back into your throat. You try to fight it for a moment, but the feeling of nausea is so overwhelming that you're soon in agreement with your body that she needs to get out. Her body squeezes up your throat and out onto the floor of the hallway, briefly getting stuck when her chest slides back into your mouth before the rest of her slides out toward freedom. She quickly pushes herself up onto her knees with a look of absolute disgust on her face. <<if $turn > 7>>She's completely naked, her body coated with stomach acid<<else>>Her outfit is in tatters, her shorts completey gone, and every inch of her is coated in stomach acid<</if>>.

"You... you're going to pay for this," she says, one of her eyes twitching as she looks down at herself. You attempt to make some retort, but get stopped by a small bout of coughing. The unpleasant taste of bile fills your mouth and your stomach still aches. Next to you, Emma is taking deep breaths and doing her best to avoid looking in Betty's direction. Betty shuffles over to grab her boots and necklace off the ground, then turns to you with a glare. But, rather than try anything, she just growls in outrage and storms off down the hall. You sigh and get to your feet, still resting a hand on your stomach. "Damn it..." you grumble. You glance over at Emma. "Um, sorry about that..." She takes a sharp inhale. "Don't apologize, I hope you're okay, but lets get out of here..!" she blurts out, scurrying over to the other side of the hall. You nod and follow her, giving the aftermath of Betty's escape a wide berth as you head towards the bridge. <<include "playerPredFail">>[[Return to your dorm->September 6th- Night 2]]

<<Time 18.25>>You hurry upstairs, heading to the end of the hallway by the bridge. Arriving at the door to Room L201, you pause for just a moment to mentally confirm you're at the right place, then knock. There's no response at first, but just as you're about to knock again the door swings open. "Ugh, finally, you're late," Nikki says, giving you a grumpy look. She turns and heads inside without another word. You pause for a moment outside with a slight frown, then sigh and follow her into the room. It's arranged a bit awkwardly, the bed on the left turned to lay horizontally instead, leaving only a small space to pass into the room between it and the one on the right. The beds are just the right height that you need to lift up your still-swollen belly to squeeze through. There's a TV facing the turned bed, however, and it does make for a much more comfortable setup for a group with the full length of the mattress available to sit on. Leah and Tara are already inside playing a match of <<if $leahHangout>>//Guts and Glory//<<else>>some fighting game<</if>> together. "$name's finally here," Nikki says, sitting down at the far end of the bed next to the wall. "Hopefully she's a little better..."

"H-Hey $name! <<if $leahHangout>>Um, do you always show up to hang out with people like this..?" she says with a nervous laugh.<<else>>I was starting to get worried, but, uh, I guess I can see you were busy..."

She watches the fight between Leah and Tara for a moment, then rolls her eyes and throws up a hand. "Come on, you should have countered that! Anemone has the easiest fucking counter timing in the game..." "S-Sorry, I'm still learning I don't even know how..." Tara mumbles. "Also hi $name I should have said that before I don't want to be rude so... um... sorry..." "It's, uh, it's okay, we'll practice for a bit. Here, you just hit B while moving toward the attack if you're trying to counter..." Leah says, showing Tara on the controller. Nikki is tapping her foot impatiently and you decide to try and keep her occupied while the other two play. "So, is your roommate cool with you reorganizing the room like this for tonight?" "What? Nah I didn't change it for you three, it's always like this," Nikki replies. "I ate my roommate day one. She was super annoying and having a single dorm seemed like it would be nice. And it is," she says with a smirk. "Ah... Well, this is a pretty good setup honestly," you say. On the screen, you watch as Leah's character, a fox girl wielding a fan, swallows Tara's, a white haired angel. The character's belly writhes as Tara mashes the button to escape, but her health reaches zero and the struggling fades out. Once her belly is still, the words "GUTTED" appear over the screen in stylized text, accompanied by a belch from Leah's character. "Oh... but, um, I think I'm really starting to get it! Thanks Leah!" Tara says. "Sorry I'm not the best teacher," Leah replies with a nervous laugh. "Finally!" Nikki says. "Tutorial's over then, no take backs. Hand over the controller, I wanna see if $name's worth my time." "Hey, no need to be so intense," you say, taking the controller that Leah offers you. "I've only played a little bit before." "Well don't cry when I mop the floor with you then," Nikki snickers. She chooses a character just seconds after getting the controller from Tara--a grinning cyan slimegirl. You sigh as you scroll through the selection screen yourself, already dreading the match ahead. It's obvious Nikki is very competitive, and she clearly just skipped straight to using her main. You know you don't stand a chance with just a couple hours of playing with Leah under your belt. "Um, Anemone is who you mostly used last time," Leah chimes in, noticing your hesitation. "Right..." you say, taking her advice and using the character you're familiar with.\ <<else>>\ "Oh perfect, I have no idea what this game is. I could use some pointers too," you say with a laugh. "Ugh, not you too..." Nikki grumbles. "Why did I even invite you guys if the AI can give me a better challenge." "If I remember right you said you wanted some people to 'cream' in person," you reply. "Isn't two newbies perfect then?" "You know actually, that's a good point!" Nikki laughs. "It's more fun when you're actually close to putting up a fight though." On the screen, you watch as Leah's character, a fox girl wielding a fan, swallows Tara's, a white haired angel. The character's belly writhes as Tara mashes the button to escape, but her health reaches zero and the struggling fades out. Once her belly is still, the words "GUTTED" appear over the screen in stylized text, accompanied by a belch from Leah's character. "Oh... but, um, I think I'm really starting to get it! Thanks Leah!" Tara says. "Okay good, finally, pass the controller to $name," Nikki says. "$name just use the same character and get right to it, even a baby could understand her kit. I don't want to spend much longer on giving a tutorial." Despite Nikki's insistence on just rolling with the character Tara had, Leah gives you a brief explanation of all the characters before starting the practice match. She also explains what the game actually is: //Guts and Glory//, a vore based fighting game created in response to an unusual lack of it in traditional fighting games. Then she gives you time to work out the controls, giving pointers and a quick rundown of general strategies. Nikki also chimes in with some 'help' while Leah teaches you, but it's usually so rushed and oddly aggressive that it's more confusing than anything. By the end of the match you've gotten a pretty good feel for the game, though even in laid back teaching mode Leah mopped the floor with you. "Okay got everything? Good, finally, give me your controller Leah," Nikki says. She chooses a character just seconds after the handoff--a grinning cyan slimegirl. "I'll see if she actually learned anything." You sigh as you scroll through the selection screen yourself, already dreading the match ahead. It's obvious Nikki is very competitive, and she clearly just skipped straight to using her main. You know you don't stand a chance having quite literally just learned how to play. Since it's the only one you have any familiarity with, you settle on just using the same character you'd been playing as.<</if>> Predictably, you get absolutely thrashed. In the first round, you barely even land a hit on her and spend most of the fight in her character's stomach, ultimately getting digested. You fare a little better in the next and feel like you're starting to figure her out, only for her to change tactics and start spamming some move where her character turns into a wave of slime and slides across the ground, becoming almost impossible to hit. You can't keep up and get overwhelmed; the match is a blowout. "Okay, that was pretty cheap at the end there..." you grumble. "But, good game! You really kicked my ass fair and square that first round." "Yeah, yeah, too easy. Don't make excuses just 'cause you got creamed," Nikki says with a grin. "And here I thought maybe the girl that showed up with someone still digesting in their gut would be tough. Who's next? Loser hands off their controller." You pass your controller back to Leah, who manages to give Nikki a run for her money but ultimately loses in the third round. She passes it off to Tara, who predictably gets annihilated, and you don't fare much better when it comes back to you. Things play out pretty much the same on the next loop around. There's an uncomfortable atmosphere in the room rather than the fun game night you were expecting, Leah and Tara barely talking at this point. However, on her next go Leah manages to eek out a win against Nikki. She isn't the most gracious loser, as could be expected, and claims that Leah just got lucky, but does honor her own rules and passes the controller off to Tara. The mood quickly improves despite Leah being a similarly insurmountable opponent for you and Tara to face. Even Nikki joins in on the chatting that picks up without being a grump, making you hopeful she was actually humbled by her loss. Those hopes are dashed as soon as Leah beats her a second time. She snaps at her, complaining the character she used is bullshit, and passes the controller to Tara so aggressively she flinches. Leah handily wins the first round of her next match against Tara, but shortly into the second she glances over at you, then starts to play much more defensively. "Defensively" turns into "just plain bad" as both of them get lower on health, until she reaches the point where she's pretty much just standing still in front of Tara's character without attacking. Tara, of course, swallows her and wins with a digestion finisher, seeming genuinely excited to have won for once. Unfortunately... "What the fuck was that!?" Nikki shouts. "That was the most obvious throw I've ever seen, she didn't deserve that win!" "Sorry, I, um, I got distracted," Leah says with a shrug. She looks nervous. "It's Tara and $name's turn now." "Bullshit! She's gotta earn it if she wants to keep her spot. Give me the controller, you both lost." "Ugh, can you chill the fuck out?" you snap. "We're trying to have fun here. We know you're good, losing because you were messing around or giving other people a chance won't kill you." "Oh shut up, you're just mad 'cause you're trash!" Nikki shouts back. "And it's no wonder, if you're not giving it your all every match you'll never improve." You roll your eyes. "Weird that Leah beat you twice then, since she's nice enough to let Tara enjoy herself." Nikki clenches her fists. "She just got lucky, plus she keeps using a broken character. I can beat all of you, easily." She smirks. "You know what? I'll prove it. Let's do a tournament." "Fine by me, at least everyone will get a chance to play." "And a tourney's no fun without stakes, so..." Nikki says, looking straight at you with a grin. "Let's say winner gets to eat last place." "And how is that supposed to work if I'm included?" You say, giving your belly a loud smack to draw attention to it. "This thing mught be a lot smaller than when I first ate, but I still doubt any of you wanna try and squeeze it down your throat.<<if $fullness > ($maxFullCap - 5)>> And I definitely can't fit any of you in me yet if I were to win.<</if>>" "Oh, uh, right..." Nikki says, her smug look faltering. "Um, also Morgan has a rule against eating club members, and no matter who loses it would be a club member," Tara chimes in. "Yeah there's that, on top of the fact that that's a //crazy// suggestion!" you say. "Why would you try to escalate things to someone getting //eaten// over a game. Aren't we supposed to just be hanging out and having fun together?" "Well I... if you guys didn't suck so much you would be having fun," Nikki says, pouting and crossing her arms. "It's not my fault." You sigh. "Look, Nikki, you're obviously really good at the game, okay? Like no one is disputing that--Leah is the only one who can give you a decent challenge and she's also super skilled," you say. Tara and Leah nod, and Nikki gets a smug grin. "But it's not fun to keep getting thrashed every time you get a chance to play. Let's just change up the rules a little, no more 'the best player gets to just keep kicking everyone's butt forever'." "What? No way! We're in my dorm using my console, I get to be in charge!" Nikki snaps. "Okay, we'll just leave then and you won't have anyone to play against," you say with a shrug. Nikki glances at the others, the expressions on both of their faces making clear that they're in agreement. "Ugh, fine, whatever..." Nikki grumbles, crossing her arms and looking away. "We'll try it your way..." A little surprised that you were actually able to talk her down, you move ahead with making things a bit more casual. Instead of "winner keeps their controller", you set the rule to just alternate which controller gets passed off after each match so that everyone gets equal chance to play and isn't just facing the same opponent almost every time. Remembering Nikki's insistence on only playing her main, you also quickly add the rule that no one can use the same character twice in a row. Nikki still seems grumpy, but everyone else is having a much better time than before. After a while, Leah brings up that there are a few different rulesets and gamemodes you can swap to within the game itself. You look through the list and pretty quickly settle on an alternate mode called "snackdown". It's a tournament where you can only deal damage via digestion, and after a character gets fully digested in a match they're no longer able to be selected, with the tournament continuing until only one character remains. By the end, even Nikki seems to be enjoying the challenge the unusual ruleset provides and finally mellows out a bit. She even compliments Tara on her improvement when, in a surprising turn of event, she's the one that manages to take the final spot. Eventually, things start to wind down and most of you are yawning more than you're talking. You decide to call it a night, getting up from the bed and stretching your arms. "This was actually really fun other than the threat of being eaten earlier which kinda..." Tara says, blushing as she catches herself starting to ramble. She clears her throat. "Um, thanks for inviting us Nikki." "Yeah, uh, thanks for coming. I'm, uh, s..." Nikki starts to say. Then she groans and shakes her head. "I'll see you guys at club." "Yeah, see you then!" you say, waving as you head for the door. "We should do this again sometime..!" Leah chimes in. "Yeah, sure, whatever..." Nikki mumbles. Everyone gives a final goodbye, then heads out into the hall.<<if $leahRel < 3>> <<Leah 1>><</if>> [[Head back to your dorm->September 6th- Night]]

"Goodbye, $name," she says in a firm tone. Her hands continue to work over her belly, rubbing and kneading her flesh as you're slowly melted away within.

You put everything you have into your squirming, refusing to let up. "<<if $samRel > 0>>Shit<<else>>No<</if>>..!"

Sam still refuses to admit defeat, pushing down on her belly from the outside and furiously swallowing to try and stop your ascent. But the light ripples in her esophagus are nothing compared to the overwhelming force of her stomach's rejection, only serving to painfully delay the inevitable as you inch up her throat. "Come on..!" Sam's strained voice pleads. "<<if $samRel < -1>>You...

"This is... ridiculous..!" you grunt, wriggling against the painful embrace of her insides. Once your elbows are free, you manage to wrench one of your arms completely out. "Just give... up!" With the extra pull from your free arm, she finally gives up.

<<Time 21>>You rush through the doors of Karbo, already feeling relieved as you pass through the threshold into the heated building. You continue on down the halls, moving just as quickly despite there being no one else in sight. Being in a heated building has only solved one <<if $outfitState is "gone">>of three<<else>>of two<</if>> problems, after all. <<if $emmaInjured>>When you arrive at your dorm, you head straight for the shower, only pausing to grab a towel on the way.<<elseif $day6SunnyHelpWithBetty>>When you arrive at your dorm, you barge right into the room, finding yourself face to face with a very concerned looking Emma. Not only that, but Sunny is sitting on your bed. "See? Told you she was fine!" Sunny says, giving you a nod. "She was clearly almost //not// fine!" Emma replies. Her voice trembles a little when she looks over at you and she backs away onto her bed to give you some space. "Um, are you okay $name? What happened?" "Just had an... unfortunate run-in on my way back from dinner, I'm okay," you assure her<<if $outfitState is "gone">>, blushing a little<</if>>. "Sorry, we'll probably have to save dealing with betty for another day..." "Fair enough," Sunny says, getting up and stretching her arms for a moment. Then she flashes finger guns at you. "Enjoy the shower, I'll see you guys tomorrow!" With Sunny gone, you grab a towel and hurry into the shower to get washed off.<<set $day6SunnyHelpWithBetty to false>><<else>>When you arrive at your dorm, you barge right into the room, forgetting that Emma would definitely be present and awake until you lock eyes with her a few steps from the door.

While you get clean, you can't help feeling frustrated about the turn of events. You were supposed to be catching a meal to finish the week off strong, but instead you almost failed to survive week one at the last possible second. However, the frustration soon melts away with the slime covering your body under the soothing warmth of the shower. You'll just have to be more careful in the future. When you're finally clean, you step out of the shower to dry off. You briefly return to the room wrapped in a towel to grab a new set of clothes, electing to just change directly into your pajamas with how late it is. Once you're changed and feeling better, you head out to relax on your bed.<<set $outfit to "pjs">><<set $outfitState to "normal">> <<if $emmaInjured>>Not long after, however, the sound of someone fiddling with the doorknob gets your attention. The door swings open, and Sunny marches in. "Good, $name you're awake still!" she laughs. She starts to knock her hands against the wall to create a drumroll. "Introducing... the new and improved Emma!" She swivels and snaps her fingers into guns pointing at the doorway. Emma slowly steps in from the hall, grinning but blushing a little and nervously holding her hands in front of her. "Um, hey $name..!" she says. You raise your eyebrows a bit and look her over. She seems to be wearing a slightly different outfit than before, now sporting a paler blue tank top that's short enough to leave some of her midriff exposed. Much more striking, however, is her hair. It's been trimmed back to clean up the damage Zoey's stomach gave it, leaving her with curled ends that barely reach lower than her ears. Her old orange highlights are still mostly gone, but she now has a bright blue streak going from the front off to the right side. <<if $emmaRel > 0>>"Woah, Emma!" you say with a grin. "It look great!" "Thanks! Haha I've always wanted to try having blue in my hair!" she beams, running a hand along the streak. "I didn't think I'd be able to pull off short hair, but Sunny took me to this amazing place in town." "You can always trust me to know where to go," Sunny says with a snap. "I'll catch you two tomorrow!"<<else>>"Oh, nice," is all you offer as a response. "Oh don't mind her, she's just annoyed that you're definitively cooler than her now," Sunny says, waving her hand dismissively. "I'll catch you tomorrow, I should get back to my dorm!"<</if>> "Bye Sunny! Thanks again, tonight was just what I needed!" Emma calls out as Sunny heads off into the hall. She drops back onto her bed with a contented sigh. It seems like she's finally completely shaken off the near-digestion experience she had earlier in the week. "Well, I'm kinda exhausted after all that, I'm gonna get ready for bed." She gets up and heads into the shower, leaving you alone in the room again. After a little while, you start to realize that you're still exhausted from your escape, and decide to call it a night. ready to be done with the evening and looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow, you get up to head into the bathroom shortly after Emma gets out.<<else>>You and Emma chat for a little while<<if $emmaRel > 3>>, after you assure her that you're fine a few more times and she finally drops the subject<</if>>, though you both gradually get distracted by your phones instead.

<<Time 20>><<set $day6Hunt2 to "courtyard">>You decide that the courtyard is probably the best place to hunt right now--anyone out this late is probably getting some fresh air or returning from a trip into town. So, you start to make your way down the main hall, passing through the lobby and out into the cool evening air. It's already quite a bit darker than when you passed through a little while ago. There are one or two other girls that you can see, but neither jump out to you as viable prey. You start to pace around the courtyard, strolling along the various paths in no particular pattern while you keep an eye out for potential targets. Unfortunately, you don't seem to have much luck. Not willing to give up so easily, but starting to feel a bit tired from walking around with extra weight still hanging off of you, you head towards the fountain to sit at one of the benches and take a more passive approach. As the night stretches on, you don't fare any better than before, the only students passing through either grouped up or clearly out of your league. But, you do get into a pretty comfortable position on the bench. You start to alternate between scrolling through your phone or simply enjoying the night atmosphere, somewhat losing track of your original goal. Your free hand absentmindedly rubs and plays with your shrinking belly all the while, an occasional groan or gurgle still audible as it works to finish off whatever's left of $lastPrey. Eventually, the chill of the evening air overpowers your lethargic relaxation, and you decide to call it a night. As you get up to leave, however, someone else walking through the courtyard catches your eye. She's quite tall, and although your stomach is nearly back to its normal size by now you get a strong feeling that eating her would be above your skill level. <<if $metCharlotte>>While she might not be meal material, something about her seems oddly familiar...<<else>>While she might not be meal material, you find yourself oddly curious about what she's doing out here...<</if>> \ <<link "Go say hello">><<replace "#choice">><<set $day6Charlotte to true>>\ Your curiousity getting the better of you, you change course to go meet the girl. <<if $metCharlotte>>She starts to look even more familiar the closer you get, and finally you place her: It's Charlotte, the girl you knocked over in the hall back on Tuesday. "Hey! Charlotte, right?" you say once you're close, giving her a friendly wave. "Huh..?" she says, jumping a little as soon as you speak up. You notice she has a book in her hand, which she quickly hugs against her stomach with the coverfacing in. When your attention is drawn to the movement, you also catch the glint of purple nailpolish on her fingers. "Oh, yeah. Do I know you?" "Um, kinda, I got you a coffee the other day... after I spilled your first one," you say with a laugh. "Right, I remember," she says with a nod. "I'm $name, by the way," you say. "Mmh," is all she replies, nodding again.<<else>>She's a tall brunette with long, flat hair and green eyes, wearing a dark green sweater, tight jeans, and a pale pink scarf. You also notice that she has a book in her hand as you get close. "Um, hey there!" you say, giving her a friendly wave. "Huh..?" she says, jumping a little as soon as you speak up. She clutches the book tighter and hugs it against her stomach. When your attention is drawn to the movement, you also catch the glint of purple nail polish on her fingers. "Oh, hi." "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you!" you say with a somewhat nervous laugh. "I'm $name, it's nice to meet you." "Charlotte," she says with a nod.<</if>> There's a pause where she just looks at you with a pretty blank expression, though her arms seem oddly tense. After a moment, she starts to walk again without saying anything more, headed for the garden. \ <<link "Compliment her nail polish">><<replace "#choice2">>"Um, I like your nail polish!" you say, hurrying to catch up with her. You don't feel particularly threatened by her, and after coming all the way over here you'd like to at least attempt to get a conversation going. "It's a <<if $fcolor.toUpperCase() is "PURPLE">>fantastic<<else>>nice<</if>> color." "My what..?" Charlotte says, stopping in her tracks. She seems oddly panicked for a moment, taking a sharp inhale and adjusting her hands to hide her nails. "Oh, um, thank you. Your... outfit... is nice," she says, pausing to look you over as she turns back to you.<<set $charlotteInquiry1 to 1>> "Thanks," you reply with a smile. There's another awkward silence. "So... are you out here to read? I feel like it would be dangerous to just sit alone with your guard down here." "There's normally not anyone out here to bother me this late," she says. "And I'm a junior so I'm not as worried about being grabbed." "O-Oh,..." you reply, taking a slight step back. "Sorry, I didn't mean..." she says, her eyebrows raising a little. "You're a freshman, right?" "Yeah..." You take another step back. "I'm not going to eat you, don't worry," she says with a slight smile. "I am just here to read, like you said." "Cool, and, thanks I guess..." you say with a nervous laugh. "But uh, even so, it's getting pretty cold out here so I should probably head back to my room..." "Yes. You should look into a scarf, they're very handy this time of year," she says. She touches a hand to her own for emphasis, though you notice that she's still bending her fingers in a way that hides her nails. "Maybe I will! It was nice talking," you say. "It was," she replies, nodding and giving you a slight wave.<<if $charlotteRel < 2>> <<Charlotte 1>><</if>> You wave back, then turn to head for the main building.

"I come out here to read, there's a very nice atmosphere in the garden at night." "Gotcha, it does look pretty..." you say, glancing over at the entrance to the garden.
