A Game of Catch and Release

9 February 2016

20:41 Saewin rests a claw on the unicorn's back, stroking up and down and purring hard as his rough, pointed tongue runs over the edge of his beak. "Come on, you can't be tired out already? Where's your drive to survive? Or maybe you secretly want to submit to me?" He leans in, patting Gyro's rump, half molesting and half urging him on. "Well... Make it to the edge of the mansion grounds and you win..."

20:46 GyroTech breathes hard as he feels the heavy weight of the gryphon laying on his back. He could see the edge of teh grounds even from here. It was less than 100 meters away and yet, he'd been tackled to the ground from teh air by the gryphon. "I...was almost there...Just let the game start back up and I'll be free." He says panting. His back is sore from the impact and heavy globs of sweat drip down his fur. Transporting him back to the center would certainly be a delicious experience. He winces as he feels the claw pressing against his soft butt, tracing along the flesh.

20:51 Saewin shakes his head, clicking his beak in Gyro's ear. "Oh no no no, that wouldn't be right... The game is to get from the house to the edge of the grounds. You lost this round, so we have to start again~" He licks one soft blue ear, then turns Gyro over so that the unicorn is on his back and able to see the wide open beak, feel the dripping hot saliva, as Saewin descends on his prey, pushing the muzzle into his beak and to the back of his throat, sw allowing and holding it tight.

20:58 GyroTech shudders as he hears the coolness int he gryphon's voice and the tutting clack in his ear. The tongue is wet and slimy along his ear as it licks and he feels the claws digging threateningly into his sides encouraging him to roll onto his back. "St-start again?" He asks with a nervousness in his voice. His question goes unanswered as the gryphon opens his beak wide, giving him a glimps of teh pink insides and feeling some drool drip donw onto his snout. In one swift motion he feels his head enveloped by the slippery flesh lining the hard beak, taking his snout against the pulsating flesh. THe unicorn makes noises of protest and tries to pull his hooves free fo the claws hodling them firmly to his sides.

21:02 Saewin doesn't pause to enjoy his 'meal'. There'll be time enough for that later if all goes his way~ Instead, he swallows hard and fast, bringing Gyro in up to his belly with a few swallows, then tilts his head up to lift the unicorns hindquarters in the air and let gravity assist his heavy, jerking gulps. Soon the pony is sealed away in his crop, the slick walls pressing painfully tight as they get to work trying to tenderise the morsel. "There we go ... There's my prize for catching you, and a nice way to

21:02 Saewin get you back to the start, little meal~"

21:05 GyroTech squirms and fights the entire way down, though his motions really give Saewin little difficulty as he's gulped down for the first time this evening. A slippery coating of drool soaks into more and more of his coat with each swallow until he feels his hind legs and tail slip in past his beak. He curls into the tight slippery sack of the gryphon's crop and can hear the frightening gurgles up ahead. As the rest of him is pressed into the tight space he squirms and pushes out against the sides. "Let me go! Spti me up! I'm not food!" He cant even light up the dark smelly chamber as the gryphon had the foresite to put a locking horn ring on his bone, cutting off his magic.

21:08 < GyroTech> (He should maybe explain the rules a littel further, however many chances he gets or a time limit or something ^^)

21:09 Saewin rolls his eyes, even as he rubs a claw over the squirming bulge and takes a moment to enjoy the pressure of hoof and hide against his internals, and picks his way slowly through the forest towards the distant speck of his stately home. "Oh, please... Do you know how many times I've heard a pony tell me that?" he says, his voice sounding strained and muffled even from the outside with oversized form of the unicorn pressing on his windpipe and mak ing his neck feathers stand on end. "And yet each one of

21:10 Saewin them went down like food, and they all behaved like food once they got into my belly. Their pellets came up like any other animal. Well... Except the one that got away. She wasn't food. Could have been, but she was too quick and clever. Not like you. You're slow and dumb, and unless you wise up you're going to be my most decadent meal yet~"

21:12 < Saewin> (Let Gyro ask about them...if he dares ;p)

21:15 GyroTech could feel the slippery flesh sliding and squishing around him with each movement, causing the bulge he makes to sway in time with the gentle walking. He could feel contractions running through the crop though none fo them were enough to push him deeper inside. He squeals each time he feels the claw rubbing at him like some toy to be played with. The voice echoes around him as it resonates in the tight chamber. "Who was she? How many ponies have you eaten?"

21:19 Saewin chuckles, even that soft laughter making the chamber dance around the unicorn, flesh vibrating up against his skin and fur, all over his body, even in places where such vibrations would send...mixed messages. "Oh, so many questions... /She/ was a lovely little pegasus who I longed to taste, but she slipped me on the first run, even with her wings tied. Light green, lovely golden eyes, had a little griffon in her, maybe? Hmm... But I don't count my prey. There must have been too many to keep track of,

21:20 Saewin anyway." That's in fact a lie; the tiercel prides himself on keeping at least one good memory of every squirming meal he's had in his life, but he isn't about to tell Gyro that." But... I can tell you how many of them I fucked before I let my stomach have /its/ way with them~"

21:23 < GyroTech> (I'm curious how many we're talking just ooc :P A dozen? More?)

21:24 < Saewin> (I'd say probably about a dozen. Maybe 18 or so, at the high end)

21:28 GyroTech squirms as he feels his sheath massaged byt hte slippery flesh from each motion, causing just a hint of stirring in his nethers. The mostions jostle him around even more, and his head could be seen loosely moving through the flesh. "You're a monster. How could you kill all those ponies!" He demands angrily, letting that outpace his fear. He's pretty quickly cowed, however, by the gryphon's next words, folding his ears even flatter against his head. He gives a burst of movement, trying to force his way out and purhaps stirring those muscles that might think the crop is too full and in need of emptying. "You cant do that to me! it isnt right. Please..." he begs

21:31 Saewin gives another short laugh, shaking his head as they arrive back at the house, and he sits back on his haunches, cleaning himself like a cat; lapping at one claw until it's slick with drool, and using that to smooth down his head feathers. "Mmm, that's what they all say. I mean it, they all tell me how it 'isn't right', but don't you see? I'm a griffon, I was born to hunt ponies. It's as right as you eating grass~" His grooming done for now, he s tands again. "Now I'm going to bring you up. Try to run

21:32 Saewin before I say so, and I'll eat you piece by piece. Starting with your rear hooves. And I'll make you watch as I tear them off. Understood?"

21:35 GyroTech siezes on one line with absolute indignance as Saewin explains and grooms himself. "What self respecting pony of my caliber would eat grass? We've evolved beyond that, much like you gryphons claim to have gone beyond ponies." He growls. He freezes as he hears Saewin's next words. Brink him up? Freedom! He could just run---Oh. The stallion feels a cold chill run through his body. "Uhh...right...I understand..." he says, sounding incredibly dejected.

21:38 Saewin nods, and sets himself before thrusting his head forward, beak open, like a cat with a hairball. The muscles of the crop tighten even harder around Gyro, then they loosen out towards the top, and squeeze him upwards. Saewin makes a gagging sound, then another, and on the third a slimy pile of blue fur and pink and purple mane topples out with a splat. He quickly pins it with a claw. "Well now, here we are.. The game begins again, eh? You've got another three runs, little one, and then you're mine~"

21:39 Saewin He ignores the self-righteous talk of evolving, and composes himself to look like the model of poise and diginified grace as he stands above GyroTech, though under that dignity is a wildness, raw and sharp.

21:43 GyroTech grunts and oofs as he feels the hot muscles pressing him up out of teh tube, squeezing him painfully and forcing the breath from his lungs. After a long minute he feels himself meet the fresh smelling air of the outside before collapsing into a heap on the ground. He feels hot for all of thirty seconds as the drool drips off of his body, forming a slimmy puddle on the stone, before the chill overtakes him, and if that wasnt bad enough, a sharply taloned claw presses down into his form. Hu gulps and gives a little nod at the gryphon's words, and breaths hard, trying to regain his wind. In contrast to the majestic gryphon towering above him, the unicorn looked like a disgusting pathetic shivering wreck. His hears were folded back, cowed and his once poofy mane and tail looked to be a discheveled disaster. "TH-three? D-dont I get a bit of time to rest first?" He asks biting his lip.

21:47 Saewin tilts his head over, his bushed tail flicking idly behind his rump. "If you rest, little morsel, I rest too. And since you were unable to beat me in the first run, I think you want me as tired as you can get me. Besides, you had a nice rest while I carried you back here." He lifts his claw and moves around behind GyroTech, giving him a good look at the sleek form of his lynx's body, tight muscle moving under soft fur, taking confident strides, h is unblinking eyes never leaving Gyro's form. "Are you

21:47 Saewin ready, or do you want to give up now?"

21:52 GyroTech gulps as Saewin explains his position. He knew it was true...btu still...buh...he was in no shape to be doing this over and over again. He stallion takes another deep breath and lets out a frightened whimper as he's let up. His eyes follow the onted cat form, watching the powerful muscles rippling beneath the flesh, and getting a good look at the creature's rump too. He jolts at the question, and then nods, rolling up to his hooves, standing there shakily, dripping. He'd certainly leave a trail now, much to teh other's benifit. "Uhh...right...umm..." He says, obviously stalliing, and yet at the same time waiting to be released.

21:57 Saewin rolls his eyes again with a barely audible groan of frustration, and with a movement too fast for the unicorn to follow he darts on, taking his head in both foreclaws and going nose-to-beak with the hesitent pony. "I can be impatient from time to time. Either you can answer me, or I take your silence as capitulation and I make you my fucktoy, and then my meal." And as soon as it has come, the moment passes and he steps away, lightly dusting hims elf off. "Now then, morsel. What will it be?"

21:59 GyroTech squeals as he feels the claws grab him around the jaw, leaving a sting of pain as just a hing of blood drizzles out from underneath the fur. His nows scrunches as its pressed agianst hte wicked hooked beak of the other gryphon and his eyes go wide with fear. "I'm ready! I'm ready! I'mr eady!' the poor pony cries out desperatly as he's released, cutting Saewin off from his question.

22:04 Saewin nods, a hit of a smile playing at the edge of his beak, all trace of that sudden fury gone save for the gleam in his ice-blue eyes. "Smart pony. Maybe you hornheads aren't as stuck up your own rumps as I thought." He pats Gyro on the rump and shoos him with the other claw, letting the wicked talons gleam in the light, the forest ahead of them pitch dark in the midnight gloom. "You have ten seconds, then I follow. Now run."

22:11 GyroTech tenses and sucks in a breath as he feels the talon tapping on his rump. Then his ears twitch and he gives a whine of protest. 10 seconds? That was much less time than the minute he'd had the first time. His mind deins to protest however, as he certainly ahs no time to argue. The unicorn predictibly darts towards the closest cover and disapears behind it, heading out into the woods. Once he's sufficently out of sight he decides to, instead of running, try a different trick. He crawls under a thick shrub to hide, concealing his form from the outside and hoping that Saewin will pass him by. At the same time he begins to fiddle with the horn ring, hoping desperately that he could free himself from it to have a chance to fight back.

22:15 Saewin sits back to watch, wondering what amusing little trick the pony is going to try this time. If he were to look back in those first few seconds, he'd see the sleek, predatory form standing out as a stark silhouette against the firelight shining through the house's window, idly licking at his claw again. But his eyes gleam in the darkness, always following the unicorn's desperate movements, until he disappears into the thick underbrush. The tierce l counts to himself, softly speaking the numbers under his

22:17 Saewin breath, until he hits eight, speaking that one aloud and counting up to ten. "Ready or not, here I come!" he yells, delight obvious in his voice, underlaid with an eagle's chirrup, and takes to a galloping run, following Gyro's first trail and sniffing.

22:20 GyroTech had heard the cry long before settled into his new spot. The noise send heavy shivers down his spine, but he couldnt let up. Deep in the underbrush he was careful not to make a noise as he pries with a heavy branch on the ring on his horn. He could feel quite a bit of pain from the pressure, and yet, at the same time, he at least thought he was making some headway against the arcane force. Fortunatly for the unciorn, he now smelled quite a bit like the gryphon from having been all up inside him, obscuring his scent and making it just a little harder for saewin to track.

22:21 < GyroTech> (If you end this post right by the bush that would be most excellent :D)

22:24 Saewin follows the trail, snuffling, his beak low the the ground and brushing through the undergrowth. He can smell pony, and griffon in the air as well. It disguises Gyro's scent, but not as well as he might have hoped, as all Saewin has to do is follow the scent of griffon as well, trusting his nose to find the newer trail and to not pick up his own route back to the manor. As he draws closer to where Gyro has hidden himself he lifts his head. "If yo u're hiding, Gyro Tech, I'd start running if I were you,

22:25 Saewin because I think I'm almost on you~" he says in a sing-song voice. Head up he can't follow the scent trail, but he trusts the unicorn not to be smart enough to double back or make any sudden kinks in his course, and he pads up next to the bush where the unicorn is hunkering down.

22:33 GyroTech folds his ears down as he hears the gryphon's words and then winces as he hears teh crack of a branch right outside his hiding spot. Still, he was determined that this was the right course. Prying a little harder with the branch, it suddenly snaps in half with a loud crack, and at the same time a green flash comes from teh bush. He'd done it! Well he thought he had anyways. He turns towards saewin to use his horn, but all he can manage is to muster a minor glow as the ring sustained only a little damage. "Stay back or I'll fry you!" he bluffs, voice wavering.

22:36 Saewin snaps his head to one side, eyes fixed on the bush as the crack and glow draw his attention in an instant. He sneers as Gyro emerges, his horn glowing impressively, but the tiercel's sharp eyes lock onto the cracked ring, still in place on the horn, and while he can't be sure he figures Gyro probably can't get enough power past the semi-functional ring to do anything more than light up a room. "Heh... Why didn't you just do it?" he says, his own claws lighting up. "You had a perfect chance. Why bother

22:36 Saewin threatening me?"

22:41 GyroTech forces a fake confident grin on his face as he begins to back away towards the edge of the estate, though it certainly was a far distance from here. The unicorn lets out a snort at the question, and narrows his eyes. "Frankly? Because even a creature as slimy and dispickable as you deserves its day in court. I'd rather see you hung in front of those feather head diplomats that sit in Canterlots courts." He responds. He continues to edge backwards, though he was finding it tiring to even keep up the light spell with as little magic as was reaching his horn right now.

22:44 Saewin snorts, flicking his head in obvious disdain at the mention of Canterlot, continuing to approach as Gyro backs off. "Please, as if I'd let them take me, and endure the humiliation of a pony trial. No, they won't stretch the neck of this bird. So why don't you just blast me now? It's either that, or beat me to the edge of the forest. Those are your only two options of escape."

22:48 GyroTech narrows his eyes even further and then continues to back away from the bird. "No, I wont stoop down to your level. I'm not a beast." Suddenly he stumbles for a second and his light flickers, a clear sign of how weak his magic is right now that it takes that much concentration for him. The unicorn realizes this too and turns to dart away, letting his magic drop, though Saewin, who was already facing the proper direction would certianly have the advantage.

22:53 Saewin bounds ahead as soon as the light flickers, trusting his instincts to tell him where the unicorn is as night-blindness robs him of his vision for a moment. He strikes true, pinning him down, the heavy body of the predator easily overpowering any struggles by sheer weight alone. "I win again~" he says, his voice a throaty purr, his body warm against Gyro's, his belly giving an audible rumble. A rumble that the pony can /feel/ up against him.

22:59 GyroTech lets out a pained and paniced cry as the gryphon tackles him down to the ground. He feels the heavy impact hitting his side, and then they roll once before it emerges with Gyro on bottom, pinned underneath the predator's bulk. He squeals as he feels the powerful rumbles running over his body. He's still wet, though most of the thick drool had long left his body, though he was now soiled with dirt and leaves which stuck in his mangled coat. "Please....Just...just let me go..." he begs.

22:59 < GyroTech> (I cant help but wonder what he thinks about gyro's trick, almost breaking his ring :P)

23:03 Saewin presses a single claw up against Gyro's muzzle, silencing him, as he gets more comfortable atop the unicorn. "Ssssshhhhh.... Now why would I want to go and do a stupid thing like that, when I've never done such a thing for any pony in my grasp? Especially since you broke my wonderful ring..." He runs his rough tongue up along Gyro's horn. "Do that again and I'll snap it off~" he whispers, his sultry tone at horrific odds with his words. "But hmm , you're by far the easiest prey I've had. And so much good

23:03 Saewin living on you... When I win I know I'm going to have to take my time. You're going to be /delectable/~ Murder on my figure though~"

23:23 < Saewin> (I think it's about time I headed to bed)

23:24 GyroTech shifts beneath the tiercel as he feels him settling even more weight on top of him. He gives a squeak as he feels the talon against his muzzle and folds his ears back, shivering in the cold. The unicorn whines and shudders as he feels the slippery tongue running up hs bony horn and yelps as he hears the threat. His heart sank at that comment though, that he was the easiest prey. He had to do better. He had to escape. "Murder on me too! Please dont do this..." he whines, "And leave my horn alone...and surely I'm not that slow..." he offers up in a wave of protests, trying to push himself up from underneath the gryphon.

19:44 Saewin wraps his beak around the unicorn's muzzle, cutting off his protests with the force of his tongue, snaking its way into Gyro's open mouth and filling it. He pants hot, wet air over him that steams in the night air, his eyes half-lidded, his chest thrumming with delighted purrs. After a few moments of stillness, the tiercel puts a claw behind Gyro's head, stretches his beak wide, and pushes the unicorn in, pulling his tongue from the whimpering m outh at the last moment before he swallows.

19:50 GyroTech mmmmmphs as his mouth is suddenly filled up with the slippery slimy tongue pressing into his mouth like some sort of deranged kiss. He whimpers as he feels the slippery muscle wiggling inside, and has to fight the urge to bite down, knowing full well he was helpess to the gryphon. The unicorn closes his eyes in fear as he feels hot breath wafting over his face and tenses up. He doesnt even struggle this time, resigned to his fate as he's drawn in to that foul fish smelling cavern. He certainly doesnt taste quite as good this time, as the grit of the game had worn inot his coat.

19:54 Saewin doesn't mind the earth and dirt driven into his prey, the flavour just reminds him of true hunts, out in the wilds, when a griffon would take down more dangerous beasts than this poor little unicorn. He doesn't linger, though, flicking his head up just like last time as he reaches Gyro's belly, and gulping with gravity's pull to slide his prey down in to his crop. The walls are active almost immediately, hard and slimy and rubbing up against GyroTech o, working to scrub some of that dirt from his coat. "Mmrr~

19:54 Saewin You really are a treat, aren't you Gyro? So soft and tender~ But it's really not fair, making you run all the way from the house, is it?"

20:01 GyroTech just squirms to get as comfortable as he can in the tight slimy sack as he's gulped down, resigned not to anger the gryphon before he gets a chance. He does, however, light his horn, revealing the pink slickened insides in a dim green glow and gives a little whimper. He's brought to by the sudden question, and blinks at it. "N-no, its not. You should start at the house and give me, a poor slower pony a much larger head start." He offers, sucking up to the powerful predator.

20:05 Saewin rubs at his belly at the sound of Gyro's whimpering, the empty gut grumbling as its rightful meal sits in the crop instead of in its proper place, in the caustic bath of acids and enzymes and hard, rolling muscle. Instead of saying anything, the tiercel simply arches his back, leaning forward, and with a few powerful heaves he spits Gyro back onto the forest floor. "Run~" he whispers, nudging him with the flat of his beak, pawing at the ground a nd digging great furrows in the dirt with his claws.

20:11 GyroTech squirms as he feels the claws digging into his form, folding his ears flat as he hears teh gurgling up in front of him, separated by a thin bit of flesh. Suddenly he feels the muscles around him lurch and with a wet splat he lands on the ground, spit pooling all around his body. He breaths heavily from the tight squeeze and then perks his ears up as he hears the command and feels the nudging. He gets up and begins running forward blindly, unaware that Saewin had turned him so he was facing the manor instead of teh edge. He stumbles forward to his feet clumbsily, almost trip, and then catches himself, before he finally gets into his main stride.

20:14 Saewin sits back, waiting for a moment and then takes to the air, gliding with all the sound of a hunting owl as he tracks the pony, easily keeping pace. Poor fool didn't even have a sense of direction... This was too easy indeed. It was a good thing this pony was so luxuriously decadent, and was so amusing in his failures, because the actual hunt was disappointing to say the least. He coughs, and calls out in a deliberately soft voice, "You should run faster," hoping that the quiet tones and the forest around

20:14 Saewin them both would mask his location.

20:20 GyroTech dashes forward out of the forest, pooring all he had into it until he finally breaks the clearing. Only then, he finds that he can see the manor. His ears twitch and he lets out a little whimper as he hears the haunting words. He poors more energy into it and dashes along side the forest, remaining stupidly in the clearing where he could easily be dived upon.

20:24 Saewin rolls his eyes as the unicorn neglects to turn back into the forest, where he'd at least have a little cover, and tucks his wings. The tiercel drop like a rock, flaring at the last minute so that his impact knocks the wind out of GyroTech and pins him down, but doesn't do any serious injury. He says nothing, just making a low chuckle at the back of his throat, squeezing his claws around whatever part of the pony he managed to grab.

20:35 GyroTech dashes over the grass, feeling it crunch beneath his hooves with each galloping step. Soon though, he hears the woosh of air, and turns to look just in time to see Saewin coming down. He feels the gryphon hit him with a heavy thud, knocking him to the ground and causing him to skid across the gas. He squeals in pain as he feels the claws digging into flank and squirms, trying to get free of the hungry gryphon. His chest hurts from the impact and he has trouble getting the breath to utter any words as he lies in the grass.

20:38 Saewin swallows a beakful of saliva with a lewd gulp that GyroTech would have no trouble hearing form his position, and his wings come down to 'shield' the unicorn, blocking out any sight of the forest and the house and the night above them. "I win again~" he purrs, chest heaving, and with that his head darts in, scooping up the little unicorn, not being so delicate this time and letting the horn and the sharp edges make little slices into Gyro's flesh , drawing gentle trickles of blood.

20:48 GyroTech gasps as he finds himself cast into darkness by the gryon's large wings covering his vision and then instintively lights up his horn, casting a dim green glow onto Saewin's wicked looking beak. "This is still hte second time ri---mmmph" the unicorn's question is cut off as he's suddenly encased in the hot slippery flesh of the gryphon's mouth. He squeals and squirms this time as he feels the white hot pain fo the sharp beaks edges and tooth tearing at his flesh, leaving bleeding gashes that drip the hot metalic taste of the unicorn's blood into the gryphon's beak. This time the unicorn has some fight in him as he brings his hooves to press at Saewin's chest and fights the entire way down, invariably earning him more cuts than he'd have gotten otherwise, but he wasnt going to take the abuse lying down. Even still he's futile to escape the clutches of Saewin's powerful crop, and is forced into a slippery sack, hwere he can now smell his own blood on top of the fish. "Please....Please....Stop this..." he begs, whimpering

20:52 Saewin pats his bulging, wriggling crop almost tenderly this time, sitting back on his haunches as he licks his beak clean of the little flecks of blood that stand out almost black against his beak in the moonlight. "Oh don't worry, my little tidbit, it'll stop after this next round, I can guarentee that." His crop clenches almost in time with the words, crushing the unicorn, leaving him unable to move anything save for a wiggle of his hooves. The smel l only seems to grow stronger, and another gurgle sounds

20:53 Saewin from below, the loudest one so far. "Can you hear that, Gyro? It wants you, so badly now. You'd put in your best showing this time around, otherwise it's going to have you for sure. If I catch you this time, you're going all the way down, and I'm going to digest you. Slowly~"

21:00 GyroTech oofs as he feels himself crushed inside the tight insides of the gryphon's crop, unable to do more than twitch in the tight chamber. He can feel the muscles contracting against him, pushing him against the hole below and forcing his muzzle past it into the stinky tunnel. His nose wrinkles from teh acidic smell and his ears fold down to block out the terrifying gurgling coming from ahead. Fortuntatly for the unciorn, it seems that Saewin was going to give him one more chance and so he wasnt forced any further down into the hole. He gives a little whimper, shivering at the cold tone of the gryphon surrounding him and lets out a little whimper. "The last one didnt c-count! You d-didnt release me f-from the m-manor..." he argues back, feeling his heart race.

21:03 Saewin clicks his beak, prodding the bulge. "But we both agreed releasing you from the manor was unfair, remember? Besides, you don't make the rules, little pony. I do. If I want to give myself a ten second head start then I will. I think I've been pretty fair in setting the rules, but clearly you're just not trying hard enough. So come on, hit the ground running this time like a good little prey animal, and give me a good chase. Or else I may have to build up an appetite another way~"

21:11 GyroTech winces as he feels the prodding against his flesh and whimpers at the declaration. "Fair? You tied up my magic but then took to your own wings! Thats not fair!" He argues back squirming in the slick sack. "Surely a magestic and powerful creature as yourself can give me a minute head start, or are you not that confident in your abilities?" He challenges, finally retrieving his head as the gryphon's crop slackens a bit.

21:17 Saewin hums. "That depends on whether or not you could make it to the edge inside of a minute. Even a buffoon like yourself could probably make it, so there's not much sport in that." A violent contraction stops the conversation there, and after one more bonecrushingly tight journey, Gyro finds himself on the forest floor once again, surrounded by a puddle of thick drool. "Well? I said 'hit the ground running'," Saewin teases.

21:18 < GyroTech> (Oh really? I was imagining it as more like a mile in each direction :P)

21:19 < Saewin> (Maybe it is, and he's just bullshitting. How would you know? :B)

21:21 GyroTech opens his mouth to protest as Saewin coughs him back up, suddenly filling his mouth with globs of thick foul saliva and then forcing him to cough as he hits the ground outside. The stallion is hacking up a fit pathetically as he lands with a splat on the grass. His ears twitch at the comment. Oh crap he was supposed to go? The unicorn darts forward from his position on the ground, only makes it a couple yards before slipping and crashign to the ground. Still he powers on and gets back up after that comical display, dashign into the forest once more. He just had ot make it to the edge. He breaths hard with each stride, feelign himself quite worn out from the previous exercises.

21:22 < GyroTech> (Hehehehe I just had an evil thought. Letting gyro get away and then taking him down feet from the edge.

21:24 Saewin lifts his head and calls out once again in a singsong voice, "You get twenty seconds~" He watches, able to see the unicorn for a surprising distance even between the thick trees, where the moonlight doesn't reach. He wonders for a moment if the mess of little cuts and pains would slow the unicorn down any, but of course it doesn't matter; with or without, the fool would never be able to beat him to the edge. So he sits back and counts down, soft ly at first but getting louder as he goes, until he reaches

21:24 Saewin eleven and ten, practically shouting the numbers out to the house and the empty forest.

21:25 < Saewin> (Hmm, maybe... or maybe it would be fun to show him just how outclassed he really is :p)

21:31 GyroTech hears the voice grow faint as he gets off into the brush, though each bellowed number sends a shiver through his body. He takes a zigzag path this time through the forest, and though he doesnt realize it, manages to even cross his own path once or twice. He shudders as he hears Saewin reach zero but forces himself to go on. The stallion powers forward through the forest though, one minute in he starts to grow slower, his muscles protesting the prolonged exhurtion.

21:36 Saewin pads forward, staying ground bound once more, decidiing that a healthy trot after his prey should keep things interesting for now. He doesn't have to follow the scent, or even stick exactly to the trail; a wake of trampled undergrowth and broken twigs marks Gyro's path, and though it twists and turns each leg tends to be in sight of the last, making it all too easy for an experienced hunter. "I smell you, y'know!" he calls ahead. "Mmm, and it's making me soooo hungry... I wonder how I should do it? Head

21:37 Saewin first and wolf you down quick, or start with your rear hooves and take it slow? Hmm, I like that. Yes, I think I'll take my time with you, make you watch me creep up your body, swallow by swallow~"

21:41 GyroTech whimpers as he hears the call, way too close for comfort and then tries to muster up the energy to go faster, but it doesnt come. The unicorn was just way too out of shape to muster any real energy to keep going as he pants. His gallop slows to a trot despite his best efforts, and he can hear the words getting even louder as his torturer gets even closer to him. He moving forward however, now just cutting it straight towards what he thinks is the edge of the manor's expanse.

21:47 Saewin starts to drift to the side, still following Gyro's trail but moving parallel to it now. "I'm getting closer~" he calls. "I can practically.../taste/ you now, Gyro~" And he can, for just a few dozen metres ahead his sharp eyes can pick out the shape of the stallion's rump swaying and bouncing as he tries to keep up his exhausted trot. "You're not going to maaaaake it~" sings Saewin. "You're going to lose, and I'm going to make a meal out of you~ "

21:56 GyroTech tilts his head down and finds just a little bit more energy as he hears teh gryphon getting even closer, folding his ears flat against his head to block out the taunting. He had to be close now, he just had to, the unicorn thought. He didnt even know what the edge of the manor looked like He wasnt sure when he'd finally cross it but it just had to be there. His movements are sloppy and several times the exhuasted unicorn stumbles upon a rock, alowing Saewin to close the distance even further, not that he needed any help.
