"Ahahaa! Considering your physical form appears to only imitate the traits of a human, perhaps I may permit my stomach to corrode the body of an additional creature!

"Perhaps the idea of my stomach's golden acid being able to dissipate certain portions of my stomach before they sling their tissue into the ends of their gaps may reinforce your desire to submerge your body underneath it."

Well, first things first about this interaction, Miq nearly leaps out of her skin when Shinobu suddenly appears out of her shadow, sending the shapeshifter scrambling over the futon to hide from such a surprise. She peers back over the other side of it, shaking like a leaf, wondering how the hell someone snuck up on her like that? Her, of all people? Miss 'Sorry I Startled You by Just Being Here and So Quiet You Didn't Notice Me Until I Spoke Up'? However, she starts to arch her brows as she realizes who it is and what she has said to her.

The strand of hair on the top of her head wiggles idly in frustration, mostly in that Shinobu must've been hiding in her shadow long enough to know of her secrets now. That she isn't truly human and that she is far too into enjoying being eaten by her friends and acquaintances, if she can convince them or get away with it. On one hand, this saves her from explaining herself. However, on the other hand, since the last time they had met and Shinobu had let her go. Not wanting to be eaten by her back then and they had instead become good friends, she now knows that there was no way she was getting out of this without ending up inside the vampiress' stomach. It's like coming to cash in a favor, now that you know it is actually on the table this time.

Shinobu had been watching and waiting and gathering information on her, hiding in her shadow. She now knows what makes Miq tick for this to work for them both and she's gladly using it against her. She's using all the right words and the confidence drives the point home. This cat-like woman had found the one mouse-like woman that might even willingly throw herself down her gullet. Part of this is play and the other part is seeing how worked up she can get this peachy-blonde she's only met once before. Watching her this long, she feels like she knows her so well already! And Miq is also picking up on that, apparently.

Apologies for the late answer. I get distracted easily...

My icon-making process is a relatively simple one. All you need is a photo manipulation program of your choice (I use GIMP) and, of course, a picture of your choice.

Choose nice image

Crop it into a square, focusing on the subject you wish to capture

Scale it to 100x100 pixels

Use a filter of your choice for a desired effect (I tend to pick a colour, select "Multiply", and adjust the opacity for the ideal shade for an icon)

This is a heavily simplified version and it obviously differs depending on what you want to do. Some might want borders or other fancy flourishes, but I just stick to the basics to make the icons easier to parse.

Ahh, then unfortunately - you have already fallen under his spell.

If only you knew of the exploits that brought him here. The battles waged, the dark dealings in the seediest places of the world... the unspeakable deeds performed purely to sate his otherworldy hunger...

Considering Penny's nature, the hug is surprisingly soft and warm, though the copious amounts of artificial fat coating her frame probably had something to do with that. Penny's soft gut engulfs your front while her hammy arms do the same thing behind you as she returns the hug.

"Thank you, friend!"

The hug with Ruby is far softer and warmer, the immense girl's rolls practically swallowing you up. Ruby can barely reach around you with her own arms, with all the blubber from her gut in the way. And being so close to said gut, you get to hear the loudest stomach grumbles you've ever heard when Ruby starts feeling hungry.

“Hell if I know… I’m not exactly a twig by any metric.”

The short blonde would grip his jiggly stomach and jostle it for emphasis. It was a hypnotic display as everything, his chest and hips included, wobbled alongside his doughy middle.

“It’s nothing to do with bein’ as large my family. Have you seen my mom and aunt? They’re not nearly as big as Himiko nor is Honoka… People are just tasty, I guess.”

Starting with two, Night is less indecisive and more impulsive, letting instinct and his sense of right and wrong guide him. There are moments, such as Phoenix’s attack in Night’s timeline where stress gets to him, and he starts to panic, falling further into impulsiveness. Nowadays, he’s better at thinking things through but it’s all done in a few seconds, he never slows down, always moving. Time is money, right?

I try my best to give the best hugs like my uncle taught me!
