18:49 < Gyro Feather> Hmmm sooo then...All that's left is the start. Birb could be splashing around in your water, or something like that.
18:49 < Water Snake Grain> Sure!
18:52 < Water Snake Grain> Any details you wanna make sure happen/don't happen before birb stars spalshin?
18:52 < Gyro Feather> Him not being the only food in the belly is always nice! Other than that, nothing in particular.
18:53 < Water Snake Grain> Alrighty! X3 You want his company to be still living? Maybe get in some timely sex before they both drown in acid?
18:54 < Gyro Feather> Only if you're playing em :P I'm really fine with either situation
18:54 < Water Snake Grain> Aye!
18:55 < Gyro Feather> Oh I should say, usually in pokemon settings, I play gyro as an undiscovered type of mon, flying/normal. ^^; If thats alright
18:55 < Water Snake Grain> Alrighty!
18:56 Gyro Feather had found himself a nice little spot on the water to to enjoy this most excellent day. It was a rather large lake, with trees lining the edge of it, and a bright green field on one side, almost picturesque. The sun shown high in the air, casting a bright warmth across it all. The bird flaps up into the air, and then dives down into the surface, half looking for a fish to catch, but also just to enjoy himself. He surfaces without any treats in talons, but that doesnt stop him from sticking around, lazily paddling in the cool waves. It was kinda strange that he headnt seen any other pokemon around here.
19:01 Water Snake Grain lurked down below the water, unbenownst to the bird.
To Gyro's likely surprise, he'd find that there wasn't a fish in the lake at all, at least not one larger than the minnows swimming in the shallows, or the crayfish in the muck near the forest's edge. The lake itself was pristine, so clear he could see all the way down to the bottom, despite it being deeper than he could even swim without losing breath on his way up.
Which is why it was so strange, when a brilliant rainbow of light reflected up from beneath him, like a thousand glass prisms moved beneath him, quickly followed by a gentle current that caused the avian to drift back in the water. But no matter how hard he looked, there was no sign as to what caused such a disturbance
19:09 Gyro Feather wasnt too bothered by the lack of large fish in here, just figuring that perhaps something about the water kept all the treats small. Oh well...
He then blinks as he sees a shimmering and then its gone as soon as it appeared...and then there it is again. The bird feels teh water starting to sweil some in the wake of whatever that had been, though he's still not sure if it was a trick of the sun and the wind quite yet. "Hmmm i'm not playing into a psychic's illusion am I?"
19:12 Water Snake Grain remained there, despite the bird not seeing him, keeping behind the avian's sight, expertly maneuvering his body so not even the reflection of his scales was visible. Waiting for the very moment the bird dove again.
The moment he did, he'd be treated to the view of outstretched, slender jaws, angled to perfectly worm it's way over their victim's body, with a slight curve in the lips to grip down, opening up to a cavernous ribbed throat that flexed with every breath, designed to grip at prey as it drew them inside. He's barely have time to register the sharp, glistening fangs that slid down from the snake's gums, broad and pointed things, each nearly the size of his arm, before the serpent's head dashed forward, tilting to an angle.
19:20 Gyro Feather finally decides he'll have another go at the whole fishing thing and takes off into the air again, circles around the lake a couple times, searchign for a target, when he thinks he sees a shadow. His wings close and his body plummets down towards teh water again, sending him a good 10 feet belwo the surface by teh time he stopped. Or he would have stopped anyways. Something dark and wide seem sto extend beneath him, though he's unable to process exactly what he's looking at. As he starts to attempt to climb out though, there's a pressure, holding him beneath the water. What was going on?
19:26 Water Snake Grain created such currents, it would distort his trajectory, and those jaws clamped over his belly. I was like a punch to the gut, as those fangs slid in easily piercing through feathers and fur alike, the bottom jaw coming to a stop on his back, gripping him tightly, while immobilizing him into place. The momentum carried them both out of the water, soaring high through the air, until they came smacking down onto the water with such force, the avian could feel one of his wings wrench from it's socket.
He could feel the pressure in his gut, not even that painful, despite the paw-sized holes the fangs made, little more than a sharp prick, with a searing heat that rapidly spread through his belly, over his chest, down his flank and legs, to the tips of his ears and paws. The heat grew with every passing second, until it was like a blistering sensation through every nerve, mitigated entirely whenever they moved. the slightest jerk or flailing of the limbs enough to remove the pain entirely; at least until it stopped moving again. And with the snake's jaws locked firmly around, he couldn't move his torso at all!
19:33 Gyro Feather lets out a stream of bubbles from his beak as he calls out in pain from the fangs puncturing deep into his body, hurning initially though the pain quickly subsides as his hot irony blood starts to leak around them into the surrounding waters. THen he can breathe again as he's jerked up and out to hit the earth..or at least his predator does, he's still caught in those mighty jaws while a wing pulls out.
He takes a breath and gives another loud howl of pain. Its at that point that he finally realizes that he's staring at the back of a gullet, with the ring of muscles undulating before him whiel the teeth grip deep. "NoNononono! Spit me out dammit! Whatever you -aaaaahhhh!" He gives nother cry as that venom shoots up through his blood stream, burning through him. He notices that it seem sto stop when he moves, and now he starts to flail wildly, attempting to unseat himself.
19:38 Water Snake Grain snapped the avian forward with his neck, like one would strike with a whip, fangs tearing across his belly, before he was flung onto the shore, back striking a rock with a dull crunch, his dislocated wing all-but shattering against the stone as it took the brunt of the blow. The serpent took his time slithering from the water, scales glistening and shimmering in the light, making rainbows as the water sluiced off of the snake's massive form. Slowly, his tail wrapped around the avian's fallen frame, squeezing the bird tightly to that slender body, while lifting him high into the sky, until their eyes were mere inches apart. The poison burning as his entire body became immobile from the coils "And what are you doing here, little one?" he coos softly, voice so soft, so soothing, it almost let one forget the pain they were in. Almost
19:51 Gyro Feather screes as he feels himself flung from that mouth, causing him to sail out of the water towards shore. He hits the surface with enough force to skip once before crashing onto shore, and breaking what had to have been several bones. The bird lets out a loud yelp from the sensation of pain flooding up into him, followed by starting to fall into a daze as all the pain overwhelms him. Water is shedding from the birds oilly feathers as well, though not nearly at the same rate as it drips off into the grass around him.
He's having trouble focussing on the creature now as the milotic has started to wrap him up tightly. Each breath is a struggle as his chest tries to exapdn out, only to find its got a very limited range. The bones in his wings grind against each other as the scales shift around him and force him to look into Grain's eyes. "I...I was just having a releaxing day...just...let me go..." he protests weakly, squirming in her grasp as his entire body burned. He wonderd how long that poison would take to deaden his nerves.
19:58 Water Snake Grain shook his head, almost looking morose at the avian's words "No, no... Why do you lie to me? You were trying to steal my fish! That much was obvious from watching you... Such a cruel thing, that, stealing my fish when there are so few left to be had... So so few" he let off a little sigh, as casual as talking of the weather, though as he finished the final words, the coils tightened down with such forced, he could feel one of his legs become crushed, the bone distorting back, starting to dig into the skin
"You see" he continued, eyes sparkling with warmth as he stared into smaller male's "You see, I was hoping for a nice, relaxing day as well! But hunger makes that hard enough... And now I have to deal with a fish thief! So, you see, I will not tolerate being hungry and dealing with criminals, but I will tolerate one or the other, so I suppose I can offer you your redemption..." he smirks, lips parting lightly, 'kissing' the gryphon's beak with his slender jaws, letting warm, damp breath roll across the other's face "To repay me for your crimes, you will fulfill my hunger! No need to thank me for such kindness"
20:10 Gyro Feather growls at the milotic, at least as much as he can, though the effect is pretty well lost with his shortness of breath and her vastly superior size, btu he does so anyways. "Hardly trying to steal your fish. If I was doing so, I'd have gone after some fish wouldnt I have? But both my beak and belly are empty of anything but a little water," he protests back to hir. "So...tehre's no need for me to repay you for crimes, as none have been commited" He contineus, wiggling in his grip. "Now...give me a fucking antidote please! This is killing me!" The fire hadn't subsided, and he was having trouble getting used to it either, as one does. Her breath is pretty fresh at first, though after a couple in and outs, the cleansing water has left for a musky stale scent that leaves him uncomfrotable. He pulls bis beak back from her lips, though he can only move an inch.
