This choice: All you can eat buffet? You can eat a lot, could they really live up to that? • Go Back...Chapter #8Gorging at the Gourmand Grotto by: Cainiam   (This chapter was done in rp between myself and Dudey64.)
She smiled eagerly as one of the dragon waiters walked up to her and asked for her order, "I'll have the dragon hibernation all you can eat menu please." The dragon nodded once, jotting it down before heading off. She held her hooves together, her eyes glimmering and her mouth began to water as after a short while the waiter returned carrying a platter as large as a pony and placed it down in front of her. As the dragon lifted up the lid she couldn't help but take a deep sniff and bask in the heavenly scents of prepared meats and confections, sided with some healthy leaves. The dragon bowed and told her to beckon if she wanted more and with that left.
Moonbounce stared at the spread before her, a large amount of chopped meats, steamed and cooked, and the smells surrounding her. With an almost trembling hoof she reached forwards and picked up a block of meat, feeling it squish slightly against her hoof, the texture covered with a nice thin layer of grease. She raised it up to her muzzle and licked across it tentatively, a shudder running though her from the taste. Feeling her stomach grumble loudly she opened her mouth and tossed in the juicy slab, munching down on it happily before swallowing it with a loud gulp. A satisfied sigh left her as she reached for more, picking up multiple at a time and greedily putting them into her mouth, finally beginning to satiate her hunger.
Cooked meats, steamed fruits, she picked them up one after another and gulped them down almost in a fluid motion, the combination of tastes drawing her into a state of hunger deeper than she felt before and before she knew it she had finished the entire plate. A loud satisfied -uuurrp- escaped her as she rubbed a hoof over her belly happily, feeling it churn and grumble. She waved a hoof up to the dragon from before and with a nod it walked up to replace her platter with a new one.
As soon as she had finished a waiter was back to see her, this one different from the earlier one as he seemed to look fancier, stand taller. A toothy grin crossed his muzzle as he looked down at her churning stomach, it swollen to the size of looking pregnant but she was still hungry for more. She would find the dragons could be very accommodating. With a lift of a claw and a click more waiters gathered around the table, marking the dragon as the head waiter. "Clear away and bring the next course, chop chop," the head waiter called.
Instantly the platter was gone, pulled from Moonbounce's sight, and a moment later not one, but four platters were laid out, the entire table being covered in food. Lids lifted and delicious scents vied for attention, a whole roast chicken taking up one platter, while another was filled with bowls of sweetmeats. A third platter was actually a huge bowl of thick meat broth, with generous chunks of crusty bread. The fourth held all the sweets, a pile of donuts, an assortment of chocolate coated biscuits, and a big bowl of thick, blood red jelly.
Moonbounce’s eyes nearly bulged out of her sockets as her tongue lulled out and dripped with drool. She shook her head for a moment and stared at the waiters with disbelief, "This can't be part of the meal, can it?" She reached a shy hoof forwards and prodded at one of the sweetmeats, picking it up in her hoof and bringing it to her mouth.
She took a small nip out of it as she looked at the waiter and after a sudden surge of taste she couldn't hesitate and opened her mouth wide and toss it in chomping on it happily and allowing the taste to spread on her tongue as it slowly ground to paste in her mouth. She gulped the gathered mush down and tore off a leg of the large chicken, biting into it and ripping off a long swath of greasy sweet tasting meat as well as taking a large bite out of another small meat treat. Each new bite seemed to renew the flavours that danced on her tongue and even when she ate things that seemed not appropriate to go together it meshed incredibly well, causing a resurgence of hunger to shoot through her. In rapid order she reached for meats, and confections, happily munching away and grinding the foods to paste before swallowing.
Occasionally a loud belch would escape from her mouth, the ever increasing girth of her stomach pushing into the table and compressing some building up gasses out of her mouth as she felt herself lost in a feeding frenzy. It took her almost as much time as before to finish everything that she had on her plate, leaning back and prodding at her stomach as she smiled happily at the fancy waiter, "This was all you can eat, right?" she flashed him a dopey smile, her tongue lapping across her grease stained muzzle quickly followed by a crass belch that shot some spittle onto the table.
The head waiter laughed politely. "Indeed it is, mon cheri," he replied, before clapping again. Dragon claws pulled away bowls and plates, once again clearing the plates with such efficiency it was startling. With how much Moonbounce had eaten already she'd more than devoured her money's worth, but neither the staff nor Moonbounce seemed inclined to slow their pace as the next batch of dishes was brought out. A honey glazed ham, beer battered fish, a rack of ribs, a literal pile of steaks, a double layer sponge cake, a selection of chocolate dipped strawberries... all of it was heaped onto the table a second later.
"Please... tell us if you are having trouble, and we will be happy to assist," the waiter told her with a smile, before lifting out a bottle of wine and pouring it into a glass. "On the house," he added as he slipped it over. Moonbounce might recognise the enchanted vintage as a favourite in noble households as it made you literally forget your stomach capacity, eliminating the pain it would cause and letting you just keep on feasting and feasting...
Moonbounce rubbed her hooves and smacked her lips eagerly as the meal was laid out before her, she was about to reach forward when the waiter presented her with the bottle and it took a moment for her to recognise it. "Thank you, this place is great!" She emptied the wine glass with a quick swig and felt the burning liquid stream down her throat, it beginning to affect her stomach slowly. Where she had been feeling slightly stuffed a moment ago, now she simply felt her hunger return as it let out a loud gurgle.
After giving the waiter a happy bow eliciting a drawn out belch she reached for the pile of steaks, sliding them into her maw one by one, drool and grease dripping down the sides of her muzzle and staining against the table and her now protruding belly. She wiped away at it idly, smearing it over her coat as she let out a soft belch that spread the stink of acid burned beef roll out of her. She munched down without reservation, picking the large honeyed ham between her hooves and biting into it like a stick of corn, tearing off chunks greedily and letting swaths of droplets splatter around as she dug into it messily. With a loud gulp she swallowed the last bit of the ham a low belch escaping -uuorrp-.
Reaching forward she had to shimmy herself back and forth to reach over her now incredibly distended stomach, the rounding sphere way beyond what her body should be able to handle yet she rolled onto it, the compressing sack causing an annoyed set of glorps to escape before her tail fluttered with a bout of flatulence. Opening her mouth she dragged the large cake closer and stuffed large chunks of it into her mouth, digging into it with her hooves and swallowing down the incredibly sweet mass large globs at a time. Once done with the tasty treat she let out a happy belch and reached for the strawberries, swallowing them in small piles before she was finished.
Her stomach was huge, having been filled with enough food to feed a few hungry families. She looked up at the waiter lazily and smiled, her mouth positively soiled with grease and pastry mush, "Think I can have some more?" she chuckled a little tiredly.
The waiter smiled. "That depends, madam. It seems your original waiter did not take payment beforehand as we normally do here. The cover price for the meal is 200 bits, and you've more than eaten that much already," the head waiter said, before laughing at the poor joke. "As soon as the bits are in my claw we will keep on feeding you, as much as you can eat as. That was a promise," he said, his smile seeming rather dark as he stretched out a hand and made a motion for the payment.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
