Budget solution ideas

Imagine if you will a modern setting with mamono being introduced into society. And since this is America, one state has a severe budget shortfall and is looking at a number of unpalatable options when they're approached by a deep-pocketed 'civic group' representing Mamono interests.....

They have a modest proposal.....they will rent out one of the larger state parks for a long weekend for a sum that's more than enough to cover the budget shortfall

And also notify single males behind on their taxes or owing the state cash for a number of other reasons that they are hereby cordially invited to this function at said state park that weekend.....and they will be absolved of all debts is they attend

Babcock State Park. Wv. It's heavily forested, with open field areas that include equipment. It has a creek running through it and a rather large man-made lake about two miles around.

Picnic area, volleyball, log cabins, and primitive camping and trails.

BabCOCK.

If you write me into the story being carried off my an Arachne I will provide pictures of the Park locations for you to work off of.
Ha ha.....you would be the employee who was caught embezzeling funds and siphoning gas from state vehicles XD

Hellhounds, Salamanders and Hinezumi would be warned by the mamono organizers that if they start another forest fire, they are permanently banned from any such events in the future

One of the rules would be if you're able to leave the confines of the park, you're home free.

I could see an MC (probably another dopey, poorly disguised version of me) getting within a few paces of the park's boundary before getting confronted by an Anubis

And the MC and Anubis literally spend hours arguing over where the exact boundary of the park is

And each of them getting more hot and bothered by the other's assertiveness and stubborn nature....

"You fucking anal-retentive Jackal-eared control freak....no wonder you gotta look for a man in one of these husband hunts where the participants are being blackmailed. No man would willingly want to be with such an overbearing, insufferable, arrogant ice queen!"

I think I've established that I get tackled by an anal-retentive, authoritarian Anubis just before I reach the park's boundary....
The force of her tackle carries me outside the park's boundary- a safe zone- and the two of us spend HOURS arguing over whether or not I'm home free.....each .getting increasingly hot and bothered by the verbal sparring

Anuby-chan would probably have a little pocket guide to the rules and regulations governing the 'Husband hunt' "Here! In Page 232, section 28 line 7, it clearly stipulates...."

smacks book from Anuby-chan's mangrabbers

"Where are we having this conversation, you anal-retentive she-jackal? Inside or outside of the park?"

Anuby: "That's not relevant"

MC: "Listen, sweetie. I played high school football. If the running back gets tackled in bounds, but is still able to cross the goal line, it's a touchdown...."

Anuby: "This isn't high school football. You talk about it as though that was the pinnacle of your life, pathetic human"

MC: "Pathetic!? You're the one who followed me out of the park! You're looking for a husband at an event where all the men were coerced or blackmailed into participating"

Anuby- "Unctuous boor!"

MC- "Frigid bowser!"

But yea....they get so hot and bothered arguing with each other, they jump each other even though Anuby-chan eventually concedes that the MC technically made it out of the park safely

There was the sound of a scream across the clearing, and we watched a poor park ranger get pulled up into the trees by a few spider web strands.Top of Form "The screaming quickly gave ways to ecstatic moanings and halfhearted protestations of 'No...please! I'm ticklish there!"

Okay, I read about half of it, DeeDee. I saw plenty of small errors and strange descriptions. Give it a thorough editing pass and it should feel much better. Also decide on an eye color for her: green or gold. Or bring to the reader's attention that they're changing color or something. When she arrives in cat form, I felt it was unnecessary to change perspective to hers. Just let it be a surprise. Be careful with that kind of perspective change; it can feel jarring and out-of-place. As for him passing out from a kiss, it felt meh. He seemed level-headed enough not to let his mind "short-circuit."
