(CW: Question involves disposal) I’m curious about some statistics for Chista. As opposed to the average time it takes, what’s her personal best time in fully processing a wolf (from first swallow to squeezing out the last bits of waste)? Any particular sections the prey lingered around longest? Also, given her occupation, just how many lupines has she melted into turds (i.e. are they a significant part of her diet?).
"A rather interesting question," Chista says as she leans against the bar's counter. "Now, I wouldn't say they a significant part of my diet, but wolves are the most common 'pest' problem besides goblins out in the Borderlands, though usually for smaller towns and villages, so they, not the most well-paying jobs out there, usually stuff left for novice adventurers and hunters. Of course, just because its a 'novice' job doesn't mean its not important, if more high level adventurers would spend some time helping cull their numbers things would be a lot better for the serfs and small folk out there." Chista sighs. "But that's a topic for another time; right now, let's talk about how great my gut is at churning things into slop!" Chista grabs the sides of her belly and gives it a good shake.

"If I had to put a solid number down, I'd say... maybe thirty? I don't really keep track, and when going up against a whole wolf pack, swallowing each and every one of them down is way too much of a hassle. Also, I don't even want to think what all that fur would do to my belly," Chista says, letting her potbelly plop back onto her hips. "Also, have you ever seen a wolf? They're huge! Swallowing one down is pretty tough, two or more is really pushing it even for me. Now for the nitty-gritty of this answer."
Chista thinks for a moment, rubbing her hand over her belly. "Usually a wolf is going to take, I'd say... 22 - 24 hours? My fastest was less than a day, so maybe it was 18 hours? I don't really keep a stopwatch to time these things... but maybe I should?" Chista mulls that idea over for a moment before continuing. "The thing that always lingers the longest is the fur. Bones my gut can grind down and pass along, but fur? Fur clumps up into very large hairballs that just sit like a cannonball in my gut. Worse when they get sucked down into my intestine... really slow everything down, pushing that along. As for bones, the bigger bits fair the best, usually getting some cracks or broken down by the churning, but I've felt a shoulder blade and more than a few skulls squeezing through my intestines. Feels pretty good."
