As fiend of Fang ensnared the poor bird-girl in his trap, Faeori, for the first time in her simple-minded existence, became extremely conflicted. When the teeth of the toy(?) cat closed around her, her eyes widened (or at least her eye orbitals had widened, as in a rather cartoonish fashion, her actual irises back increasingly small) and her jaw dropped to let out a hark of surprise.
"Gah!!" she said--ironically in a tone less loud than her normal speaking voice--as Fang threw the ball at Cranley and she made her first bounce.
However, whatever Faeori lacked in intellect, she made up easily enough brawn and primal instinct. She was lean and petite and her sense of balance was without comparison. Needless to say, with all of her own trick flying the turns of the bouncing ball hardly fazed her. With her strong leg muscles, and even stronger arm muscles, she grabbed hold of the bars and crossed her legs beneath her, keeping herself (surprisingly) very steady in her bouncing prison. And in this fashion, she started to think. Very hard. She probably never thought so hard, because one could vaguely smell burning. And she bit her lip, looking somewhere between pouty and angry.
Then she sighed. "Ughh...What do I do now? This just isn't...fair!" She was "murmuring" to herself--so to everyone else, it just sounded like she was talking like a normal person would have. "I mean...does that count? Coward! We didn't even fight! I bet I totally could have beaten him to a pulp if we had fought! But... I still lost. I was captured! I was defeated! Does that mean he's more stronger than me?" The girl sounded like she might have been having an existential crisis, but she quickly waved that one off, saying, "Nah! Can't say that for sure."
"Still..." Her teeth grit. "Tricky little bastard outdid me. But then, maybe there is something to that--" she said, vaguely remembering the story of how the smallest bird became the king of birds. Then, she sighed again, as she watched her prison completely clobber Cranley, and for the first time, her expression became a bit more girlish as she looked at his squished face before the ball continued to roll away. "But it isn't fair! Cranley is just so handsome! I mean, his nose... is just so pointy! And so hooked!" She sighed, dreamily. "Not that he can ever know that! I mean, if Fang already beat me, that means I'm gonna have to take him as my mate--if only he had a pointy, hooked nose!" She pouted again, frowning.
Well, Faeori had to think of something. She had come to the lowly level of the crust looking for her mate, after all. If Fang was strong enough to capture her, then he should be strong enough to give her strong offspring, even if he wasn't very good looking. Suddenly, she perked up. Hey, maybe she should see how strong Cranley is! Yeah! Oh, and who cares if she was captured--maybe she could even have a rematch with that cat-creature to see if he really was strong, if that was just a fluke! And then she could fight Cranley! And if they both were strong enough to defeat her (she inwardly snorted, doubting that. In fact, she figured neither might, but she'd be willing to stoop to someone who was adequately strong...) then she'd just have to see who was stronger of the two.
Faeori grinned brightly. Now she had a plan! "ALLLLLLL RIGHT!" she exclaimed, back to her regular screeching. "Now that I've gone and finished my thinking--Time to get out of here!" With that, Faeorie--stomach of steel growling hungrily--grinned as she pulled out her daggers and held them like utensils, and began to chow down. Hey, she said she wanted to eat that kitty thing. She was too headstrong to take it back down from that now. Another hark of triumph blasted through the basement announcing when she finished her meal.
Kelpie sighed, regretting that he had ever gotten himself banned from that one board whose name he couldn't remember. His life was just misery. Either he was intended to be a part of a fail-tastic story in that other forum, or be with this lot of degenerates. He didn't know which was worse.
