“This is fucked up.”
Everything in the house was coated in a horrible, sticky substance that trapped and entangled anything it touched. Particularly sentient lifeforms, gluing them to the ground and stopping them from moving. More sticky substances blocked out the windows and locked up the doors, preventing any sort of escape from ever taking place.
The four beings trapped within the slime were desperately trying to move, just a little. But any gap they managed to make was quickly sealed up with more sticky goo. The creator of the slime would simply laugh at any attempt they made.
“This is beyond fucked up…” Phovos growled. “This is middle-of-the-great-war levels of fucked up. WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THIS SHIT?”
A serpentine tail wriggled around Phovos’s neck and jaws, silencing her.
“Oh come on, don’t be like that!” Kohra squeaked. His mouth was glued up with slime, but he could still talk. “Phovos is allowed to be pissed off, you’ve trashed her house. This will take months to clear out.”
There was no reply. Timik tried to say something, but almost his hold head was covered in goo, only giving him enough leeway to see, hear and breathe. Just about.
“I don’t even know what any of this is…” Kayen muttered. “We helped shut down an organization that was drugging and impregnating Temthans and what do we get? Slime baths.”
A feminine voice giggled, its voice dulled down by the absorption properties of all the slime around them. “Did I not introduce myself, children?”
“Uh, no…”
More serpentine tail appeared, uncoiling itself. The actual body of the creature was revealed, an overly feminine, overly sexualised Temthan form with shimmering black and purple scales.
“Hi, I’m Yisini, the Allbirther, and I’ll be your judge, jury and potential executioner today!”
Phovos groaned. Kohra and Kayen’s eyes widened. Timik shuddered as he recognised the beast in front of them.
“Seriously? Wow, I’ve pissed off two deities now!” Kohra tried to be funny. Whether it was for his sake or everyone else’s sake, no one knew. “I have no idea how I’ve managed that. Is this about that stupid drugging operation thing we stopped?”
“Yep.”
“Oh.” Kohra fell silent. Yisini smiled a toothy grin, then disappeared off behind the captured four. She seemed to be raiding the kitchen and eating literally anything she could find.
“Do we get a fair trial?” Kayen asked, the awkward silence bothering him almost as much as the rest of the situation.
“Nope.”
“Will you, uh, tell us what you’re going to do to us then?” Kayen was trembling. He had been scared beforehand, but now he was genuinely terrified.
Yisini smiled at the little Skyavok, needles sticking out of her jaws from under her lips. She slithered over and placed a slimy, sticky hand on Kayen’s headplate.
“Hm… Well…” The deity paused, thinking to herself. She placed a hand on the foreheads of the other mere mortals, then grinned. The number of teeth in “I was considering just having you all killed for your actions. But that’s too easy. And also a waste.”
“A waste?” Kohra glanced at Kayen. “What?”
Yisini continued to smile as she finished eating everything in Phovos’s house. There was now nothing left aside from walls, windows, goo and the four mortals trapped within it.
“Oh, you four are coming with me, to my special research centre. There’s just too much good genetics here to waste, it would be a shame to kill you all without extracting some of that.”
The Allbirther paused. Her nostrils twitched.
“Is something shooting at me?”
Gunfire could be heard outside. Clearly the local police force had realised something was going on and were now firing at the massive snake-like appendage that had wrapped itself around the Raptor’s house.
Yisini tutted. She slithered over to her four prisoners and spat a new type of goo on them, one that swiftly expanded and hardened, sealing them inside plastic-like cells.
“Well, I was going to torture you four here a bit longer, but I think it’s time to head off! Come along now, we’re going to have lots of fun…”
The Allbirther coiled around her prisoners, then teleported away, leaving nothing but goo.
