02-05-12 I thought we were friends

[Milnoc]

Oh right! That little bugger can get the job done while Ace holds Chloe by the neck, and Brooke wraps herself around her torso.

The sight of Ace's full werewolf appearance might also break Nina's crush on him. He ain't no cute little puppy anymore!

[vampire hunter D]

Hmm, not a bad wolf-form. But not as tough looking as the Crinos I remember seeing from way back when

[Kradeiz]

Sweet, three badass monsters in one update; not exactly cuties anymore, are they? Certainly intimidating, though, but they're gonna need some extra fodder if they're gonna stop E-Chloe now.

Also two updates until Doom Panties becomes the longest chapter of EC so far!

Lately whenever I need battle music, this is what I hear.

How's this for a battle themesong?

[Lighthawk]

Okay, Ace looks far less goofy looking with the face transformed.

And Chloe begins her power up sequence. For they are no longer dealing with an ordinary succubus. They are dealing with a legend. The legend that they all fear. She has become, a super succubus!

[Artemisia]

Wait. . .she's become Lilith?

[TheEighth]

I thought we were friends....?

You hurt Nina when you barred her from your party, and you hurt Brooke when you made fun of her sexuality.

And I don't there was ever a genuine moment of friendship between you and Ace. Nina dragged him around and you were Nina's friend, so....there's pretty much nothing there.

You're not the victim here

[Artemisia]

Of course this is just an educated guess, but it seems this is a job for the panty-thief... BLAIR

Why did I just hear Bender saying we need a standard issue two-story panty-raid ladder?

[Tenjen]

Evil demon face Chloe D:

[brasca]

You know something Chloe. . .friends don't try to steal friends' fiances.

Correct and since Chloe and Layla weren't really friends it's all fair game.

Just noticed that while demanding Chloe surrender a particular article of clothing Ace and Brooke seem to be shedding theirs as they metamorphosis. Could be potentially embarrassing for all concerned when the dust clears. I wondered how succubi would fair in this struggle and so far it seems like she's evenly matched.

[Hyper Magi]

Not that I'm defending Chloe's actions, but let's not forget that she isn't really in control here. Hell, she didn't invite Nina because she didn't want her getting hurt. She's not evil, just drunk off power. And this isn't like getting drunk off wine coolers, this is the good **** she's drunk off of!

[BlairFan]

Stealing boyfriends is unfriendly. I think Chloe's mind is currently disordered.

[Artemisia]

You know something...I feel like the Doompanties are a metaphor for puberty.

[Random Wanderer]

I don't think there's anything metaphorical about it.

[Spidrift]

The sight of three characters demanding that a fourth remove her panties for them, in public ... requires a certain amount of meticulous set-up not to look sordid, doesn't it?

But talking of set-up - this is pretty obviously a risky feint to buy Adora the time and opportunity she needs to make her move. She's got the crucial knowledge and resources here, but she's currently remaining off-stage. She wants the edge of surprise.

However, I have a bad feeling here for Brooke's chances of making it through this scene without serious injury. She's been doing a bit too well recently. She's developed the smarts to put one over on Cerise, the confidence to take the lead in facing down Chloe, the maturity that made her take responsibility for Kade as well as this, and comfort with her own complex sexuality. Plus, she seems to have command of a monster form that has to be pretty tough if her challenge to Chloe isn't a wild bluff. In general, characters who get that far ahead of the game in this sort of story can only avoid turning into Mary-Sues if they take a severe, lots-of-angst-for-everyone-else-round-the-hospital-bed sort of beating.
