You enter your apartment after a long day of work, toss your umbrella and bag on the floor next to the everything else, and collapse on the couch to catch your breath. Your name is Aster. You are a rabbit, and you hate your stupid life. Your pronouns are whatever. Your relationships are non-existent. You work for some bullshit company in some nowhere town and your boss is a fucking prick and you cannot with his bullshit anymore. It's 6:49 PM on Friday night. 11 minutes before the stream starts. What will you do? <%= story.render("Ch1 Living room commands") %>

<%= T.manyCommands([ "Strip naked.", "Have a drink.", "Cook dinner.", ], `Your phone pings. <div class="chompstr-phone-notification"> <img src="assets/img/phone_chompstr_notif.png" alt="iOS notification.

Without leaving the couch, you peel your business clothes off your fur, and toss them on the floor. All of you is soaked with rain. You smell musky and gross. Your hormones are probably fucked. You forgot to do your shot last night. You say you'll do it tomorrow. Probably. What's the point. <% if (!visited("Cook dinner.")) { %>Your stomach grumbles.<% } %> <%= story.render("Ch1 Living room commands") %>

"Cook" is a strong word. You haven't had energy to get groceries or meal prep in several weeks. You open the freezer to find the last bit of edible food in your place: a box of Mighty Macro® pasta with Garden Vegetables and Ch-EZ-y vegan "sauce". You stare into the microwave window, looking vacantly past your vile baggy-eyed reflection, and watch the slow rotation of broccoli and nuclear orange macaroni. You let it cool. You eat it. It sucks. What did you ever do to deserve this. <%= story.render("Ch1 Living room commands") %>

No, you don't do that anymore. You know it doesn't help. You don't even have any booze here. <%= story.render("Ch1 Living room commands") %> * [[*Have a drink.*|Have a drink 2]]

You remember there's some in the high cabinet above the fridge, which you can't reach. You stay right where you are, and don't go get it. You're stronger than that. * [[Go get it.|Have a drink 3]]

Against your better judgement, you drag a barstool into place and climb up onto the countertop, just barely allowing you to reach into the back of the cupboard. To your surprise, you find not one but two bottles of soju. Your old roommate must have left these when she moved out. She was a Saint Bernard, easily twice your size. She was thoughtful, and smelled nice and helped you with your transition. You were friends-sometimes-lovers since college. You're really happy for her, wherever she is. You decide to only have one of them, and save the rest for later. You decide to **only have one of them**, and save the rest for later. You're sorry. * [[Take both.|Have a drink 4]]

<% StoryFlags.set("drankTheBooze") %> You climb down carrying two bottles of Soju, and chug both of them, then drop both bottles in the trash can. Tastes like apples. The room spins pleasantly. Your drunkness has increased to +60 points. The ocean now contains +1.4 more pounds of unrecycled glass. <%= story.render("Ch1 Living room commands") %>

A bookshelf is marked the "Hall of Fame" with a glittery sign. On it sit a dozen or so skulls, along with polaroid photos of their former bearers.

(reuse the text widget from LoTP) You didn't have a lot of money when you needed to live for another month, but now that you don't plan to survive past this week, it's like you have a TON of money.

6 PM you order yourself a shit ton of expensive takeout, just blowing all your savings. Driver knocks on your door. It's a squirrel girl named Piper. She's trembling and is so fucking relieved that just this once you're not someone who's trying to eat them. She comments that your place is pretty big for a bunny. Yeah, you used to live with a saint bernard. Oh, she says, a little You're still powertripping, so you offer her $2000 to skip the rest of their deliveries and hang out with you and get drunk.

She asks if you're having second thoughts about killing yourself. No no, you still are gonna do that. You take a selfie with your friend and send it along. She teases you both and says she's open to eating you both. Doordasher says they can't, they have to work tomorrow. You snuggle or fuck and fall asleep. You pass out, and wake up a hours later and they're gone. They leave a note about how they had fun but are uncomfortable that you're friends with predators.

SELKIE'S GUIDE TO DYING IN A TUMMY. (reuse the legalese template) NO REFUNDS. HOW TO BEHAVE ON STREAM. HOW TO GET A PREDATORY CONSENT WAIVER You walk into the UPS store, holding a big pile of legal forms which you need to get notarized. It's a nice slow day. Meet Eileen the skunk! She's a manager at the UPS store and a notary public. She's silly and non-serious, a little nerdy. Technically the forms don't name of the person you're feeding yourself to. Which *technically* means you're consenting to ANYONE eating you. that's uh, interesting! Haha! It's actually why I became a notary public. I'm just very interested in... consent! :-) o-oh. (she's still holding your forms) By the way, do you wanna come into the back?

There's uh, some cool stuff back here! There's a box of donuts from this morning, uhhh, packing tape, uhhh, whiteout, and staplers!

And uhhh... oh!! I forgot, there's a super important notary seal I need to stamp on your forms. you point at the form. she already stamped it. Yeah, but this is a different one! It's uh, secret one! Like, it's invisible for extra security.

"Yeah! And I need you to follow me into the back so I can get it! Let's go-o-o!" you politely ask for the forms back. they were hard to get and you really need them back now. "Sure! Just come with me into the back! Did I mention there's donuts?" You guess you have no choice.

Just in case, you DM Selkie. <%= T.discordChat([ ["disasterPiece", "hi selkie"], ["disasterPiece", "FYI, if i die suddenly it's because i got eaten by a manic skunk at the post office."], ["disasterPiece", "her name's eileen"], ["Selkie the Hippo", "Damn, fair enough"], ["disasterPiece", "i'm 99% sure she only works there so she can legally eat people who sign consent forms"], ["disasterPiece", "and i think she's gonna try to eat me in a second"], ["disasterPiece", "maybe you could call the police or something"], ["Selkie the Hippo", "oh yeah, the Georida loophole!"], ["Selkie the Hippo", "nah, I respect the game too much to rat her out, haha."], ["Selkie the Hippo", "good luck!"], ["disasterPiece", "...cool"] ]) %> * [[Follow Eileen.]]

You follow her into the back. She didn't lie about the donuts, she does offer you one. But they're not vegan. "That's cool, more for me!" Chomp chomp. you ask if she's done and if you can have the forms back yet. The guilt is clearly too much for her. She places the forms on the table and "Okay okay, I lied! I was actually planning to eat you, and then doctor the forms so it looks like you gave me permission."

"Sorry, I feel just awful decieving you about it... It's just hard to find people who want to be eaten by a nobody like me..." she says, clearly fishing for a compliment, "Sorry..." You say you understand, but would really really prefer if she didn't do that. You have someone else you want to get eaten by. You paid a lot of money and everything. "Yeah, that makes sense... I'm sorry about this!" She lunges at you. * [[Aggrieve!]] * [[Abscond!]]

You pick up a stapler and try to fend her off with a stapler. She immediately grabs you and pins you to the floor. * [[Receive donut.]]

She sits on your face and anal vores you. It smells... well, like her asshole, but not like, awful. It disproves some prejudices you had about skunks. Now you're in her tummy. ## Game over * <%= T.rewind() %>

You grab the forms, and high-tail it out. That was close. ## End of Chapter 3. * [[Title screen.]]

5. Wednesday. 1. Sell your shit on craigslist. 2. Sentimental. 3. Talk to your ex and explain that you're dying. She doesn't want her shit? Nah. This isn't a cry for help....? You're not trying to make her like, get back with you? 4. Bad end: She calls a wellness check on you. You get institutionalized and eaten. 5. Whatever. Selkie is there to steel your resolve.

Thursday morning. You drop the keys of your apartment off with the leasing office. Quick breakfast as you walk across town. You board the Amtrak with a suitcase full of your nothing. Take an interstate train to Selkie's house, message her again. Meet Ted and Tabitha, religious types and members of the "ex-pred" and "ex-prey" movements on their way to a meetup. These are the greatest risk to you getting to Selkie. Ted and Tabitha kidnap you and try to scare you out of being eaten, confront you with the scary, messy reality. He puts your head in his mouth, and smothers you for a second. You're afraid to admit it just turns you on even more. Ted is made a little squicked out, but Tabitha is clearly aroused from watching. He pukes you up. You arrive at Selkie's place. She greets and snuggles you. ### End of Chapter 6 * [[Title screen]]

Friday. The big day. On stream, Xena talks you through the safeword and expectations. Your safety is important, but she also needs to keep up her persona as a remorseless bitch who doesn't care about her prey's wellbeing or consent. That's what keeps bringing people back. Gulp. You don't enjoy it. You start having a meltdown. This was supposed to be hot. It was your biggest fantasy. You watched so many go down and love it. You sold all your shit, and gave up everything to be here. All so you could cum and die inside her tummy. And now you can't even die right. Why didn't you fucking die at the fucking party? You were supposed to get eaten die like your fucking friend and every other fucking person. Everyone dies or leaves. Fuck, this was supposed to be hot and you're ruining it. Biiig burp. "Oof, they're a feisty one! You doing okay in there, bunnybones?" You sob and choke. "Aww, does my snack wanna come out?" * Y-yes please. * I want to cum...
