Invitation to the Hive

6 June 2017

12:00 < Honey> Well

12:05 < Honey> The Honeycomb Hive is known to prefer hot and humid rain forests. In contrast to other hives they don’t necessarily build their lair underground, but may simply hollow out trees. They are less actively aggressive than other hives (of which the Chrysalis Hive is the most aggressive) and more seldom venture outside their designated area. Their favourite method of trapping creatures is to disguise themselves as dancing

12:10 < Honey> females and to lure males into their traps. Those are especially sticky since the hive has an affinity for sweet nectar - and blood. They usually wait for their target to weaken inside the trap, so they can more easily apply hypnosis spells. If they are not outside dancing and creature walks into a trap all by its own, it may take a worker weeks to notice it, which usually leaves a lot of creatures to die in the humid

12:15 < Honey> heat.

12:20 < Honey> That's all the information about honeycomb changelings

12:25 < Honey> Nectar is based off of a species created by Siansaar

12:30 < GyroFeather> hmm alright

12:35 < Honey> So she lives deep in everfree.

12:40 < Honey> Past zecoras even.

12:45 GyroFeather flutters through the hot jungle, feeling sweat dripping down his body as he makes his way across the land. The gryphon had somehow gotten separated from his tour guides on the safari he was taking, and well...it seemed like he was most certainly thoroughly lost. He finds a spot on the ground to land down below the treeline, leaving him panting hard. "Hello? Is anyone there?" He calls out again, hoping deserpately to find his troupe.

12:50 Honey , His tour guide calls to him. "Gyro? Are you there? Everyone else went back and I came looking for you, are you there?" The female guide is walking down a path near him. "Gyro?"

13:10 < Honey> (It's not the real one. It's a disguised changeling.)

13:15 < Honey> (But he doesn't need to know that.)

13:20 < Honey> X3

13:25 GyroFeather hears the call of his tour guide and perks right up. As he sees her he lights up even more, walking down towards her. "Oh I'm so glad to see you. I got lost out here...and well take me back to the group please."

13:30 Honey asks, "Yeah! What happened? I turned around and you were gone. Follow me! I used this path to get this far faster."

13:35 GyroFeather shrugs his shoulders and trots along after her. "I dont know...must just be the finicky magic of this forest playing tricks on us."

13:40 Honey responds, "Oh yeah of course. This forest is wicked."_ she walks in front of him. Leading the way. The woods get thicker and the path narrows. But she trundles on with confidence in her step.

13:50 GyroFeather trots on faster behind the mare, watching her hips sway before him. He feels the forest creeping in on him as he clenches his beak down, glancing this way and that. "Hmm how far out of my way did I end up then, miss?"

13:55 Honey says, "Oh I dunno..." Gyro feels four expertly placed snares grab his wrists and ankles. "Pretty far...~" the trap yanks him into the air and spins him around, tying him up in a thick yellow goo. He sees the mare upside down in front of him. "Ooh. I can't believe I caught a Griffon! My princess is gonna be so proud of me!" He watches as yellow flames burn away the changelings disguise._

14:30 GyroFeather squawks as he's suddenly lifted up into the air, and is left dangling by his hind legs. He can feel a sticky sickly sweet smelling substand running down his feathers and matting them together, staining his blue and pink coat a deep amber. His face contourts into someting of fear as the changeling reveals itself to him and he gulps quite visible. "Uhh...caught me...wait...what if I just take you back to my party. there are plenty of ponies there."

14:35 Honey says, "Nope! Nectar is gonna have a big feast tonight! And I just caught her main course! EEheeheehee! I can't wait!" The changeling uses a hypnotic spell to lull him into a sleep so that he can be carried back to the hive.

14:40 GyroFeather struggles as best as he can in his strange bindings, though the goop has him well entrapped and the more he struggles the more of it works over his body. The gryphon squwaks and offers up protest to the bug, but then as her spell overtakes him, his struggles slow. Everything seems to grow hazy to his mind, even as he tries to fight it off. And then he's out cold, dangling helplessly in the strand.

14:45 Honey watches. It takes a couple more changelings but they manage to get him to the hive in preparation for the feast. They get him secured onto a table. Wrapped elegantly in the goop, he cannot move. When he wakes, he's surrounded by delicious morsels of food on a huge feast table

14:55 GyroFeather blinks awake quite a while later, feeling his head swimming from the sensation of being knocked out cold. As everything begins to come into focus, the first thing he notices is how bound up he is, and how whatever covering it was was rather hot, casuing him to sweat within it. THen he looks around, and notcies the large spread of food dotting the table beside him. He gulps and casts a glance out towards the bugs that surrounded him. "H-hey...let me go...I'll trade you other pones for my freedom.

15:00 Honey snorts. "Why would I ever give up an opportunity like this. Such a big and handsome Griffon.~" he hears a sweet and seductive sounding voice. Young, but mature. He sees the face of a rather attractive changeling crouch down to meet his limited gaze.

15:05 GyroFeather narrows his eyes at the bug as it gets down right in his face and he forces his head forward, trying to snap at her iwth his beak, but she's just out of reach. "Because I can get you more food than I am...besides i'm a peacock..all lean and tough...you dont want my meat," he protests, clenching his eyes shut.

15:10 Honey grins. "the tough meat sticks around longer.~" she strokes his sticky feathers, her body doesn't stick to the honey like substance covering him.

15:15 < Tatsumaki> 🆙 | **Honey Bughorse leveled up!**

15:25 < Honey> YAAAAAAAAA

15:30 GyroFeather lets out a loud growl as he feels her ruffling his feathers through the sticky honey and gives a nearly imperceptible shake of his head. "B-but more food goes even afurther right? Please dont eat me..."

15:35 Honey responds, "Oh sweetie don't worry, it's just a ceremony, no one I eat stays dead. They come back feeling like it was all a bad dream.~"

15:40 GyroFeather narrows his eyes at the bug horse and snorts in disbelief. Uh huh...and pigs have learned to fly too." The gryphon is shivering with fear at the concept of being devoured like just a common turkey.

15:45 Honey chuckles. "I know. It's amazing what magic can do to pigs. Just as it's amazing what my body can do to yours.~ CHANGELINGS! Let the feast! Begin!" There erupts a huge cheer and buzzing of wings.

15:50 GyroFeather shudders at the beginingof the calling of the feast and glances around at all the critters and the overwhelming noise in his ear. He forces his eyes closed and looks away, unwilling to face his would be devouerer.

15:55 Honey sticks him. He feels two small jabs in his neck as the princess hits him with a toxin that makes his body go numb. Honey She backs away and lets it take effect. "Don't worry big guy, I don't play with my food too much.~"

16:15 < GyroFeather> (Bah...losing the fight with jetlag...may have to continue tomorrow.

16:20 < Honey> (That's fine.)
