Has there ever been a time where you yourself were almost eaten by either another Glutton or beast? After all the saying “There’s always a bigger fish” holds true. And if it does happen do you have a plan to escape/survive?
"Oh, there's been times where I've gone from hunter to hunted, and it's not pleasant." Chista crosses her arms, which is awkward considering Chista's proportions. She lets her arms rest atop her gut, nestling just under her breasts, pushing them up just a bit. "I know I come across as this unstoppable apex glutton, but that's just because I've made it long enough to get a few stories and meals under my belt. Well... I don't wear a belt anymore... can't even button my pants up all the way..." Chista laments as she glances down at her belly. °°~𝑮𝑳𝑶𝑹𝑷~°°
Chista sighs as she relents to her gut's demand for attention, gently caressing it as it burbles. "I don't have the time to list every time, I've found myself on the opposite end of the hunt, but they all follow the same pattern. I didn't know what I was walking into or they got the drop on me. Plenty of beasts can cleave me in two with a swipe or swallow me whole if I'm not careful, and that's just counting monsters. I've had a few run-ins with other Gluttons who have tried to get one over me, and well... I'm still standing, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a close call!"
"Now, every situation is handled differently, but these are the general rules I follow each time:
Do not panic! If you panic, you'll slip up, and if you slip up your prey. Stay calm and focus on what you can do, not what the predator can do.
Sieze the intiatve! Make your predator react to you; don't do what's expected. Running from a cheetah isn't going to do you much good, but rushing them will throw them off and provide a greater opportunity. You'd be surprised how many monsters and even Gluttons fold the moment their meal puts up a fight.
There are no rules in a fight for survival. Go for the low blows! Grab a rock, bite an ear, twist a nipple, do whatever you have to! Anything goes!
Carrying a few anti-acid potions never hurts. Remember, they don't stop digestion; they just give you more time.
I know that's not the most dynamic or amazing set of rules, but it works. It's honestly not that complicated, but you have to follow the one rule above them all:
- Be alert! If a Glutton is in the area, be aware of your surroundings; just being aware of a threat is enough to deter it most of the time. We get this idea that Gluttons and Preds are big badasses, but really, 90% of them are looking for a quick, easy meal, not a fight. Even if you bump into that 10% looking for a fight, knowing they are there is a powerful advantage.
