It looked like the press conference was having its desired effect. Gloria and Dominique would trade insults and veiled threats, the fans would holler in excitement and the reporters would write down every word they said. If the conference was any gauge, tomorrow night's match was going to have a lot of hype behind it. Not that Marc cared. After half an hour of this, he was bored as all hell. It was around this time that a female voice whispered from directly behind him.
"That gator's gonna need her food pre-chewed when the Dom's finished with her."
Marc smiled at that image. Then he realized the comment was directed at him. Then he realized it was intended to offend him. "Damn it," Marc thought. "Did one of Dominique's fans get over here? How did one of those behemoths waddle over without me noticing? Just stay calm. Act like you didn't hear her. Last thing I need is for Gloria to think I'm trying to steal her spotlight."
"Hey! I'm talking to you... What are you deaf, runt?"
The woman slapped Marc on the back of his head. He couldn't help himself but turn around to look at his attacker. What he saw surprised him. The woman was a squirrel anthro with red fur. She was pudgy with chubby cheeks. She was definitely a Dominique fan. She wore the same kind of goth/punk clothes as her other fans, and she dyed her black hair with indigo tips. Her bangs hid one of her eyes. Her t-shirt had an indigo silhouette of Dominique on it, the hippo had one leg on the back of a kneeling human. None of this was what surprised Marc. The thing that shocked him the most about the anthro was that she was... tiny! She was a foot shorter than him, absolutely miniscule by anthro standards!
Marc couldn't help it. He'd been expecting a big bruiser and turned around to find a shrimp. He laughed. The squirrel scowled. Her cheeks turned red.
"What the hell's so funny, runt?!" she demanded.
"Nothing!" Marc said. He forced his face back into a serious expression. "Sorry. Just... remembering a joke from earlier!" He cringed at how lame the excuse was. "What can I help you with?"
"Don't make fun of me!" the squirrel snapped. "We all knew what you were doing. You and that stupid lizard were making fun of Dominique. Well you're not gonna be laughing when she breaks that gator's legs!"
Actually Marc did think that was funny, and made the mistake of laughing again. That just made the squirrel angrier.
"That's it! You've pissed me off! You and me. Outside. Right now!"
"What are you crazy? Ok. First off, I'm not allowed to leave the premises without permission. Second, you really want to fight me? I mean you're so sh--"
Marc didn't get another word out. The squirrel opened her mouth impossibly wide and before he knew what was happening he was head and shoulders deep inside her, face-to-face with her uvula.
"What the f--GET THE HELL OFF ME!"
The squirrel tried to swallow him but Marc was able to get his hands up and pushed against her mouth. His attacker was suspended in the air while Marc was left in the dark. Outside he could hear screams as people saw what was going on. Some of Dominique's fans began cheering the squirrel on as they saw her trying to swallow Marc whole.
"Go get him, Roxie!" one of them called.
Marc's hands were beginning to slip against the slippery insides of her mouth. Marc remembered where the wall was and ran over to. He started slamming against it, giving Roxie's head a good pounding too. It was enough to daze her and her attempts to eat him were weaker. Marc finally managed to shove her off with the suction sound of a miniature vacuum being pulled off skin. He saw two anthro security guards rushing over to them. One of them grabbed Roxie as she lunged to continue the fight and the other grabbed you.
"What the hell was that sorry excuse of a man doing to my fan?" Dominique bellowed at Gloria, as if her fan hadn't tried to eat her slave alive. "If he hurt her, I'll grind him into a pancake!"
Gloria ignored the second part of her sentence. "A good question, Dominique. What were you doing?"
Gloria asked the question in a frosty voice. Marc realized all eyes, including his mistress's, were on him. She looked ready to kill. Marc gulped. How would he be able to talk his way out of this?
What happens next?
1) Marc is able to salvage the press conference by acting like the entire thing was a publicity stunt to generate more hype. Gloria will not punish him.
2) Roxie spins the story first and Gloria lets Dominique or Roxie punish Marc however they want.
