Week 280! (Page 463 Script) (Patreon)

THIS MARKS PAYMENT FOR THE WEEK OF 12/15-12/21.

Alright, single script update for the month of December, it's for page 463.

Now, with Kale having summoned his sword for the first time in literally over a decade, it's time for them to move on to the actual 'training' part of this lesson of Lucy's. However, it doesn't take much thought to go 'practicing with actual sharp weapons seems pretty dangerous', so the solution I've come up with for that is this, where Liddy engulfs the blades of their swords with her own weird rubbery/gooey body material. She'd already done this before by engulfing Fox Kale's entire head as well as just his muzzle and hands way back when, so it wouldn't be unusual that she'd be able to do this for covering sharp blades. 

I imagine Liddy's body (and other id's bodies) to not be entirely "liquid-y", but it sort of depends on the id. Fox Kale, when he goes into his big mean red-eyed form, gets extremely drippy with a lot of individual strands, like an ink combined with slime. Bruce's id was also very drippy, although more looking like the sort of bouncy rubbery material that Liddy is made of. And Liddy has dripped a bit, but she's usually pretty controlled, smoother, more solid than others. In my mind, the more wild and unrestrained and instinctual an id is, the more fluid and messy they get, in the sense that the more chaotic they are, the less of a solid shape and form they have. The size of an id is also dependent on that factor, along with just how much raw instinct an individual has. 

So in this instance, Liddy, being by default pretty small for an id even without being permanently attached to Lucy's arm, would actually normally be much more like a solid rubber than anything, with some slight give and some slight ink dripping. This extend on to the portions of herself that she leaves on other things. This effectively means that Liddy is coating the two Kales' swords with a bouncy rubber layer. Now, obviously, a big thing coated in rubber swung hard enough is still going to hurt a lot (I don't think there's any getting around that without pulling out literal foam bats or something, and then what was the point of Kale getting his sword out right now?), but at least nobody's going to get chopped in half or stabbed through this way. I'd probably even say that, because this is a sort of 'living' rubber covering the blades, and that Liddy likely still has some control over it, that she can mitigate the impact of any blows well enough that Kale and Fox Kale will probably only get some welts if anything.
