So excited to see where this goes o.o

Well, I think we could trust her. Very afraid to do so, but for now, yeah. <.<

Nah, I think it's risky as anything and could put us in a real bad position. :B Both cause we're at the mercy of someone else and cause we'll be in a gut with Kuva who doesn't have the best history with us.

But still, either that or collapsing along the way/once we get there.

this is getting intense

Lets make a deal and push Jabarro down into her stomach... we don't need him anymore

Yes we do. We need to know his side of the story and see if he is at least truthful enough to admit he's lying.

If not...well Tanya can have a bigger belly~

Just looked at the polls
All you bastards desperately wanting to see vore

The vore's more a side benefit in this case, more voting for it because we're dangerously low on energy, or vigor. if it were any other situation, i'd be less inclined for that option

oh isee

Well, I must admire that I want to see some, sure. But, it could be a great benefit for us + if Java wanted, she could gulp us forcefully milions of times.

We were looking directly at her eyes, even now. If she wanted, she could easily paralyse us by now and force us in, which she didn't.

I think there is no need to be worried.

okay
yall want to see vore fair enough
im kind of interested to see if her stomach meter gets way low

Hell yeah, of course we want to see vore!

That isn't exactly the best two options; but being all there is.. and the landslide choice

i hope it is safe cause i want Tanya to find the missing cheetah cub and this story end with a happy ending


now if i met java i'd have ran away, heck i'd have started running as soon as i saw her

I think most of whay I said before is still applicable, so I'll just repeat myself a bit.

Since Tanya is probably going to take another big hit on to CHARM points, she may as well try to use them now, while she's still got some. Java says Tanya has been misled, but there are so many things about Jabaro that don't make sense. How could he be an assassin when he's straight up terrified of his target? Before you go in, ask Java to consider one thing: that perhaps she has been misled as well. It wasn't Jabaro who nearly set her on fire, after all, and his desire to join Kuva's tribe seems quite earnest.

Tanya also needs to be ready to deal with Kuva. She probably won't be happy in the tight quarters of Java's gut and it's only going to get tighter when Tanya moves in. Whatever happens, Just don't kill her, okay Tanya? She's got a family to take care of--children--even if she is insufferably irritating. The reason you're out here in the first place is because you wanted to help find one. I know you remember what family is like, otherwise you wouldn't be looking for a new tribe to take you in. Who knows? After all this it might even be the cheetahs? Stranger things have happened.

Also this is a perfect opportunity for a clever quip. Could be something like, "You'll probably smell better than Kuva did," or "Well at least you asked politely... unlike someone else I know." (Tanya poke's Java belly for added emphasis.)

Or Tanya could break the fourth wall a little? "Sure, I never use my Charm points anyway."

agreed, big agreed

Agreed.

I like your clever quips! Should totally say one of them.

I just want the bun bun to go in another belly. :D

(Two prey in a belly, only one may leave, muhahahaha) *Looks innocent*

Two prey enter one prey leaves? THUNDERGUT.

stomach

I get the feeling everyone has forgot about Daniel, and I'm pretty sure that's going to bite Tanya in the butt later on.

I think he is somehow tied into this.

As someone who likes vore, sure, it would be cool to see Java eat Tanya.

The vote is quite a landslide because of this, and it is not surprising.

HOWEVER, you guys really should consider outcomes. Consider the idea that Java could be around for a while, villain or not... Also consider that jumping into a vore scene could end up KILLING Java.


Think about it... If Java IS a villain, and she eats Tanya, that puts Tanya in DANGER. If the main character is in danger, the story will twist so that the hero gets away.. BUT in order for that to happen, the predator that ate her might have to die or get cut open.

I personally want to see Java get to claim someone, whether she or they are good or bad. She is a cool looking character. Maybe I am biased towards reptile chicks tho...


If I were Tanya, I would say, "I think it would be best if we took a little more time to learn to trust each other. Your curiosity in this matter matches my own, and we all might be able to help each other, but I've already spent too long in a belly earlier today." This is why I voted to politely refuse.

You guys are LUCKY that Fidchell is writing this comic and not me (partially because I am slow as fuck), because choices like these would lead to GAME OVER real quick. >: D

Are you threatening to run your own quest so we can all fuck it up and you can laugh maniacally at our pathetically inept fetish driven decision making process?

Because I'd be okay with that.

To be perfectly honest, don't trust her entirely... but you do have to consider that she proven she can hypnotise or knock people unconscious without putting in any effort with Jabaro.

So her being polite to offer us a ride just seems rather pointless to do since she could've done the eye trick by now and gotten it over with.

Hell, if I was writing a character who can do the eye trick I would have them do it already and not be all James Bond villain about it.

Of course. Well might as well

Since everyones nuts, eat the male cheetah then get vored....there problem solved

Considering how fast you make these, this page and that last panel specifically look friken amazing.

i still think tanya should run and java should eat jabaro.
that way you don't leave him behind, and if/ win java lets him out he will realize she is not his enemy.

and it means we get to see vore without putting tanya in danger

The poll is more than predictable. Then again I voted to get nommed too.

An interesting point, Tanya isn't hearing sounds from inside the belly anymore.
Is Kuva fainted? Maybe she's digesting already? We'll find out soon on our own anyway.

Ah, how sad, Java is no snake but a naga. There goes my positive position towards her.
If java hunts like Kaa this is just a normal way to lure more prey, in that case Tanya, into her gullet. Also she doens´t look friendly in any way. Refusing the weapon is also a sign of mistrust towards Tanya while at the same second claiming trust from her. I vote for walking.
Oh and be nice and remove the dagger at least.

Let's put Java at ease by saying, "I actually wasn't planning on using my knife on you. I was going to use it on her" *poke Java's belly* "in case she tried to eat me.....again."

And then we make a request that's going to require a lot of trust. We say, "Alright, I'll go in your belly. But! Only on one condition: If she" *poke Java's belly* "has eaten me by the time you let her out, could you please make her spit me out? She's already eaten me once and I don't think I'll be lucky enough to be able to ask her to spit me out like I did last time."

Well Java might not be a villain afterall, first impressions are one thing, but some beings can atone for such displays...why not open up friendship and trust this big female?

Given that Java could have overpowered and eaten us many times over at this point, I guess we can trust her.

Just get inside that sexy snake belly already!!

Javas tummy has rounded out like there is acid inside, but i say submit to her anyway. oWo Maybe if java eats tanya then java can become the main character :3

Let Java eat you but warn her that if Kuva wakes up their is a chance that their will be a fight in there plus Tanya is getting hungry so a small chance she might eat Kuva if they are in their for to long.
Lastly ask how did she knows she released the snake and if its some sort of thing where she can see through the eyes of another then ask if she knows what's happening over by Jabaro.

Well we have GAZELLE HORNS, BELT W/POUCHES & POISON DARTS W/SACK If we keep those items hidden and take them with, Tanya will have 2 tools to help escape the snake lady if things go bad. Also I noticed the last frame of previous page and first frame of this page the belly was wiggling as the prey struggled, but now the wiggling has stopped by the last frame and has no sounds. Although Tanya does not hear the belly digesting, its possible that it might not have air. Sure Java said it does not digest which could be true but what if the first stomach just crushes and squeezes the meal into the lower belly like a crop? The reason Java is not using eye trick or being forceful is she is in a hurry from the assassin, getting into a struggle or wasting time to use eye trick could cost her. A quick willing meal is her best option right now anyway. Also consider this, Java is curious of Tanya and wants to learn more about her so Tanya could be safe. Getting swallowed by Java now is best option, its safe enough to see if she can be trusted. Tanya has enough VIGOR left to use GAZELLE HORNS as a dagger if things go wrong. If we refuse to get eaten now we would be out of VIGOR and Java could take the SACK & BELT items away later if Tanya waits. If we reach Java's place of hiding without building trust, Java could easy overpower Tanya there, or use eye trick being able to take Tanya's stuff away. Right now Java can't carry all of Tanya's belt stuff, that's the whole point Java wants to swallow Tanya is to carry everything with little effort. Also the fact that if she was planning to digest, she would tell Tanya to remove her BELT & SACK too, as not to get random and unknown objects lodged in her belly.

Oh another risk to consider is that there may not be enough room in first belly, considering how big it is right now. May have to swallow Kuva, or let Kuva swallow Tanya to fit. Which both are dangerous since Tanya's STOMACH is low and Kuva wouldn't care for Tanya if she thought it was her last meal or something. Another risk to consider is that to make Tanya fit, Java may need to push Kuva Deeper in order to make room. Or Java could start squeezing and compressing her belly...

Make sure to keep the darts on yourself! Oh! And you may need some lil protection against Kuva, juuust in case

Poisen darts might not be safe for a tummy. Some poisens can kill once ingested xAx The tips are coated in poisen.

sad there is no hide dart option. Also ask her to take your stuff with.

I'd try to hide at least one small weapon (like the dart) before going in. If Java is trustworthy, there'll be no need to use it. If she turns out not to be, the dart might make her sick enough to regurgitate everyone without necessarily killing Java.

And I'd still offer to take out the dagger from her tail and apply healing balm to it before going in. A good deed can have positive knock-on effects to all but the most villainous characters, and to a neutral like Java seems to be, it might be a decent good-faith gesture.

We influence Tanyas decisions, therefor we represent those inner urges that drive her.

Despite the clearly sensible safe decision, its clear we're all slightly smitten by Javas predatory glamour. But what can you expect from a group of voraphiles. :3

As much as I love Java, I voted no. While yes she can probably(?) move faster, there are several issues:
1.) She will be technically alone, and more easy for dust/magic throwing people to surprise her or anyone else to ambush her.
2.) This might push Kuva deeper, make it harder for her to be coughed back up. (I still want Tanya to get her equal revenge. Fair is Fair :P)
3.) She might decide to pull a Kuva, or worse. I want to Trust Java, but I'd trust Kuva a bit more (admittedly).
4.) If anything goes wrong, where she gets knocked out, or passes out from blood loss (unlikely, but another thought), where does that leave us?
5.) We are going to lose Charm to this ( :P )

I really don't want to leave Java alone, at least as far as I can see She has some sort of Hit out on her. We don't know why just yet, but I get the possible feeling that she might be relatively innocent (or at best not truly interested in digesting Tanya) and just being targeted because of lies (like the ones Jabaro were telling us, half truths and full out lies to make her seem worse).

No no, too much logic and reasoning for our enraptured minds! I mean, look at that gut!

Yes, yes... I see now. We must bow down before the gut. The gut commands immediate action. :P

Now that I had a while to look at this, I feel that maybe we can trust Java here.

Because she proved that the eye trick is possible, and if she was intending to back-stab us it is kinda pointless to give us an option when she could simply do the eye trick and fuck us over no problem right now. So it makes no sense to do pointless banter with Tanya if she is intending to kill us.

That and saying no could have her do the eye trick on us and screw us over as badly.

That said, not sure how Kuva will react. But I would like to have a third party member to help out against the stranger, so let's not kill her or try to piss her off more than she will be. Eat her if she gets too aggressive, but not kill her.

I voted to have her be eaten. It would take a hit to the charm, but allow the vigor to recover in the process. While giving up the knife is one thing, the pouches hold the poison darts, and those are concealed and she has no knowledge of them. If escape is absolutely needed because of betrayal, the poison darts would be the ticket out.

The way I'm thinking about it is if she's lying, we might not have enough energy to fight. Plus if she just decides to attack and eat Tanya anyway we'd probably not have enough energy to fight back or run away. I feel like we can trust her, but I'm very cautious.
Wish we could hide the darts.
Great story and work fidchell, keeping the suspense going 😋❤️💛

take the little sword out of the tail to help with the trust

*rolls eyes at entire audience*

So this is how the story ends? Dumb enough to disarm and climb right into the mouth of someone we have no reason to trust. Lucky night for the snake lady all things considered.

I still say ride the tail. It'll look cool too.
