There were screams, and flashing lights, fights breaking out, death - none of it mattered to Kailani. In that moment her entire focus was on [i]consumption[/i], large body bristling with the freedom of finally being able to be in her true form after being forced into such a small skin for so long. There was so much blood smeared around her slavering mouth, not just the smears one might expect but bloody handprints dragged along the purple carapace and soon licked away by a large tongue. Their screams meant nothing to her. Neither did their deaths.

It was only when she ran out of uniformed guards in the immediate vicinity did the alien turn her attention from the ruined catwalk, the chaos she caused as well as the others vaguely on the edge of her awareness. After all, a dozen bowls of oatmeal were nothing compared to even one full human, let alone a buffet of bodies and metal. Despite the months of near constant starvation, it wasn’t even personal - Kailani merely relished in the feeling of finally being able to consume at her leisure.

Her top priority was keeping it that way.

Many of the humans were avoiding the canisters on the ground that leaked a strange type of air. The Devourer came trotting over, chittering excitedly as she leaned down to nose the tear gas and sniff it. Unpleasant, made her eyes tingle a bit. Down the hatch it went, some of the gas leaking from the corner of her mouth before it fizzled away, ripped to shreds by her biology. Kailani followed along to the next one, the battle between metahuman and guard ignored as she came up by her hallmate, the firefeet Ameliya. The tear gas by her was similarly gulped down, before the alien turned her head to the woman, chittering excitedly.

Oh right, Ameliya couldn’t understand her.

Well, no point pondering how to communicate. Kailani leaned in close and bumped heads before licking the fiery woman’s head, tongue unscathed even if it scorched her carapace just a little. She retreated before it could do actual damage, and admittedly it was a little tempting after so many months to just bite down. Of course, that would be detrimental to the whole escape plan.

Who taught her ‘detrimental’?

It looked like the others in the plan were all having their own fun stretching their powers. It must’ve been like her own form, finally able to fully flex those muscles cramped into a small space. Well, mostly. One man Kai didn’t know the name of was reaching for Julia, or specifically the gun in her hand with a snap of order to give it to him - and then he was snapped in half as Kailani bit down on him instead, his legs staying up for a moment before collapsing without the top half. She swallowed.

He was not part of the plan so she could eat him. Simple. Making a delighted purr at her own logic, Kai stuck out her tongue - already the blood was gone - and licked Julia next. Now where was -

Right, Min-Ji was already being escorted back. She had left. Which was no good, because how was Kailani supposed to fulfill the best friend pact? She’d have to go get her, as promised. Plus, many of the people were trying to push out but weren’t making much progress - she guessed they were hesitant because of the bullets. With a shriek, the large alien finally turned to the double-door entranceway, stalking past Körbl on the way - and taking a moment to lick Abby on the head as well - before scooping up some of the rather impressive pile of guards in her mouth. They crunched, and soon the alien was using her large, tank-like frame to shove through the blockade of shield and bodies into the hallway. People either disappeared into her mouth or were physically shoved to the side, breaking the wall as she began down the hallway back towards her cellblock.

Best. Friend. Pact!
