What's more stressful than attending a party where every other person of your species is there explicitly to be a potential meal? Sitting down at the dinner table of that party.

There's a scene in this one between Petal and Harry that we had planned out almost as long as either character existed in our heads. It's cool to see it finally see the light of day. On the other hand, there's the joke that we had to cut from this one because the potential implications were too disguising. That's probably never seeing the light of day. Oh well.

Now that Petal has officially spoken on the matter, you can officially place your bets. Who do you think will end up as the panda's second course? Unless you think she'll only get the one?

You can let us know in the comments, or you can join our official HNTBL Discord server and tell us there:

It’s only a matter of time before Fiona does find out; and then all Hell will break loose.
Mind you, a part of me believes that Sarabeth would recall how Jack managed talk Fiona into hunting humans despite what went down that week, thus having second thoughts, thus backs out last minute, thus coming clean to Fiona.

Committing the taboo?

You know how it’s a bit if a taboo for predators to eat predators ( even though it shouldn’t be as that taboo emphasizes a toxic supremacist ideal ) . Well I could see that conversation ending with her killing Sara Beth .

honestly bringing up ruby kinda reminded me that i still dont understand how jack is friends with fiona , shes killed muliple friends of his, she barely treats him as anything more than a glorified future meal, she has actively put his life in danger without even caring, and she has repeatedly traumatized him

when i read chapters 50-60 it felt like it was building to a true catharsis where jack would call out fiona for her carelessness , borderline cruelty and insensitivity, and fiona would call out jack for his possesiveness. however it just kept getting worse until finally it reached a point where fiona was unbearable. then they had a confrontation and as jack is justly calling her out. she eats him under cutting the emotion of the entire thing.then when hes released it doesnt feel genuine anymore. it just feels like a guy whos emotionally broken finally caving in to the pressure. part of me actually wished shed digested him and that made her feel horrid sparking a massive change in her character. and while sure fiona has that confrontatioin with the predators and kicked out arthur. she still decided to keep being friends with the rest who really arent much better . after all , they killed an entire group of human survivors in a survivors anonymous . its kinda like if a bunch of serial killers went after a group of SA victims at a group therapy session.


this kinda reminds me of the life of broc https://aryion.com/g4/view/216529
except there , humans were extremely rare and not much better but there was no taboo around eating other preds so people were more sympathetic to eating each other and less supremacists.. thats actually how i got into this since i was looking for the life of broc a few years ago and hntbl popped up first matching the story quality just as well

i went off topic ;-;
any way i look forward to the next part and hope harry doesnt go the way of zach ... or ruby....

also did they kill the poor guy who asked sarabeths age

glad im not alone, the only real solice i find is that this story seems to have only happened over the course of like afew months unless i forgot something. since jack made a note a few stories back that hed only been in school like 3 weeks. meaning hes never had time to process his trauma

5UP3RN0V4

I also imagine him wanting to talk with Fiona in a calm way about what she put him through that week, not hesitating to let her know how disappointed he is. And no, that confrontation in Chapter 57 doesn’t count.

doomed

Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report

i definitely could see him haviung a calm conversation with her after zach was killed. she didnt know they were friends. even though that doesnt really justify her actions.
but when she helped raid the SA group, that shouldve been the final straw. there was no way he didnt curse her out .

5UP3RN0V4

Posted by 5UP3RN0V4 1 year ago Report

Actually, after Zach was eaten, Jack heard it from Ozzy in Chapter 53, and he practically was furious about it, even chewed out Fiona because of it.

doomed

Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report

Oh no I remember, but that was the only point where I could’ve seen him do a calm talk if he was forced . I was happy he showed up and chewed her out in front of her friends . Honestly I was hoping they would’ve tried to attack him , so that way he could blast all of them including Fiona . It’s sad that neither Zach nor ruby are going to get any firm of justice . That’s why I like ozzy. He saw Fiona for the monster she truly is , and then cut Zach off for staying friends with her. That’s the equivalent of staying friends with your best friends abuser

5UP3RN0V4

Posted by 5UP3RN0V4 1 year ago Report

Until Ozzy finally comes to realize that that whole time he’s been mad at her… and it wasn’t her fault.
After all… Zach wouldn’t even be dead if it wasn’t for Arthur.

doomed

Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report

True true , but even then she had more than enough opportunities to ask ozzy. She made a choice to kill Zach . She may not know who he was but she viewed him as nothing but food . That mentality makes her a monster . Arthur just made things worse

5UP3RN0V4

Posted by 5UP3RN0V4 1 year ago Report

Let's not forget why Fiona wouldn't let Ozzy talk.
It was because Arthur interfered that day.
If he had been distracted that day, Ozzy would have had enough time to tell Fiona about Zach, whereas she could have chocked him up last minute.
Yes, Fiona made mistakes throughout the story, but if we really must blame someone for what went down in Chapter 52, then we might as well blame Arthur.

Damn, not a Fiona fan, huh? Can't say I feel the same about her, but I can't say you're wrong either. That's an understandable read of the story... except, "she barely treats him as anything more than a glorified future meal", that one surprises me.

5UP3RN0V4

Posted by 5UP3RN0V4 1 year ago Report

Same as me. But sooner or later, everything is back to the way it used to be between Jack and Fiona, as in both of them against the world.

doomed

Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report

It’s not even so much that I’m not a fan , she just has done SOOOO much that is objectively horrible and traumatizing to Jack. And since this all happens in such a short time , any character growth seems super trivial . That’s why I said I kinda wish she’d killed Jack too. In a fit of rage and lack of self control she kills one of her only real friends . That would create such a masssive character growth in her . Which would offset the short timeline

TheDragonBoy

Posted by TheDragonBoy 1 year ago Report

I think there's an argument to be made that *almost* killing her best friend could spur on character change just as well.

MasterGryph

Posted by MasterGryph 1 year ago Report

For some reason, the current Jack-Fiona relationship and how it's progressing is reminding me of a certain anime involving bears.

There are a lot of differences of course. Two particular bits: the predator of the main pairing didn't eat her romantic rival personally in that series, just stood by while another predator got rid of her. And when this came out, the initial reaction was the prey of the pairing blasting her off of a building.

The underlying point, though, is that there's gonna be part of the audience who thinks Fiona is getting off easy.

Understandable, and I do intend for Fiona to have growth.

I'm enjoying Petal's fairly laid-back approach to everything. Like she could live with the result either way, but she's not about to turn down the opportunity if it does come around. Honestly don't know where it'll end up..

Perodian

Posted by Perodian 1 year ago Report

Fiona's had a hand in a lot of Jack's trauma. Her eating his species, marking him, and of course, the Ruby incident. He keeps this all bottled in because of societal norms and the fact she's his best friend. In a more morbid interpretation, she's the one friend who is very unlikely to die in some predator's stomach. Morbid feelings aside, there's also his special interest in Fiona that allows him to accept those parts of her.

5UP3RN0V4

Posted by 5UP3RN0V4 1 year ago Report

Bottled up, my foot.
He practically let it all go in Chapter 57, during Truth or Dare, and we all know how that ended for him.

Posted by insanitysMind 1 year ago Report

Somethings has been bothering me about the events of this party and I finally think I know what it is.

I feel like Fiona is being just a little to casual about things and acting strange.

Not just in a sense that she is going around and licking everyone but that she is acting as if none of the recent emotional events have happened.

Yes she mention Ruby but that was brushed under the rug instantly.

I feel Fiona would be far more cautious about the current events given the fact that she is directly responsible for not just the death of Jacks friends and also the abandonment of Jack by the few friends who remain.

Especially now that he has found a new one.

Yes I know she thinks Jack is safe here, but it feels like the reason she asked him to make some new friends is to rebuild jacks trust in her. That she will not only protect Jack but also his friends too. Something she has been really failing at up until this point. Though her actions have been anything but trust building up to this point.

From what has happened so far she has been incredibly laissez-faire about Harry. Fiona has given very little confidence that she won't just shrug her shoulders should anything happen to him.

I will say this it feels like there as been a small time jump so maybe they have talked more about what has happened and that Fiona has proven herself already but we as the audience have gotten none of that.

I do love this story and it has a lot going for it, but I feel that it may be going down a direction that it doesn't want to take.

(Also just a side note Jack and Fiona need to kiss already the teen angst along with the fatal vore stuff is just making it too stressful)((I am mostly kidding here))

I will say that this kind of predXprey relationship stuff without the prey ending up dying is some of my favorite type of fatal vore scenarios.(If anybody has any suggestions I would love them please)

(((Sorry this seems long winded I don't comment often if ever)))

Oh I also forgot to mention that as far as we know the only frieds Jack currently has is Fiona. As far as Jack knows Fiona and Sarabeth.

Which we know that Sarabeth is trying to kill him currently.

TheDragonBoy

Posted by TheDragonBoy 1 year ago Report

Fiona acting slight off isn't a bad read, in fact it's somewhat intentional. It would be fair to say that there is a part of her that is using this party as a coping mechanism.

Harry was invited to Sarabeth's party specifically as food. And Jack and Fiona have known him for only a few hours. Motivation aside, Fiona might not be in the best position to defend Harry, esp. considering the only pred who has shown interest in him so far is one that's too big for her to fight off.

I don't think Fiona and Jack have had any impactful conversations 'off-screen', but they have had a bit of time. Enough time that they can start behaving normally, even if they don't necessarily feel that way.

So being friends with her is spitting in Zach’s face then?

doomed

Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report

Yeah , the only advantage Fiona has is the fact that she didn’t know he was one of jacks friends . Even then she could’ve let ozzy speak as he was clearly trying to tell her something important . Her being under Arthur’s influence is definitely not an excuse. Even in the logic of that class , it still isn’t a valid reason for letting Arthur bully Ozzy and her standing by. So Jack being friends with her is pretty messed up. His rationalizing reads like he’s a broken man who’s desperately trying to cope with the horrors . It doesn’t feel genuine due to the time span .

I do take splice that you’re clearly invested~! Though I do feel I should warn you about something. Essentially the Arthur Arc was Fiona’s, I want this next arc to be more Jacks. So while Fiona will absolutely be there, she might not get as much attention so you might not see all the growth you’re hoping to see from her.

I’m definitely looking forward to it then. Jack is the character that draws me in the most here . Especially since he’s the MC

Good pacing on the posting. Keep it up.

Also, Sarabeth now knows what's going on. And oh boy, she does not like it one bit.

I wonder if someone will try something when Jack and Harry are going to get some water? And who is Fiona going after when she was heading to the bathroom? (Gonna say that it is Ozzy.)

doomed

Posted by doomed 1 year ago Report

Nah if it’s ozzy that would obliterate all the work she put into regaining jacks trust. Like she’d be knowingly killing a friend of his . And if Jack wasn’t upset by it that would be even worse. Because that would invalidate his previous outburst . Plus her killing ozzy is like a hunter going back and killing a deer after killing its mom in front of it

Shadow0000

Posted by Shadow0000 1 year ago Report

I didn't say that she was going to nom him.

I was saying that if it was him, Fiona might have a chance to corner him and have a direct talk with him. She could try to patch things up with him while he can't escape.

2Ron2R

Posted by 2Ron2R 1 year ago Report

Interesting observation, after all Fiona wouldn't need to use an excuse about going to the restroom for Sarabeth or Jack and hasn't shown that much concern about disturbing Harry. And she noticed the individual quite suddenly, surely she would have been aware of the comings and goings of most humans at the party and wouldn't have flipped her attention to them so rapidly. It makes sense that what she noticed was a specific individual and one she wanted to encounter privately. And there's no reason she would really need to be quite so private about tasting or eating someone. Of course this all depends on how far away they are, Jack would recognize Ozzy unless it was quite a distance, but it is quite a big mansion.

x9comega

Posted by x9comega 1 year ago Report

Would Sarabeth invite Ozzy knowing he would likely get eaten? I’m not saying she likes him or would save him, but bare minimum he is an associate, and there’s plenty of humans she doesn’t know to choose from, if she’s inviting snacks why not ensure they’re strangers to her?
