Camilla is walking back from McDonald's, 20-pack of nuggets in hand to feed her fourth clutch, when she finally realizes what's felt off about this walk.

The squirrels. This place is usually FULL of squirrels - she would always try to nail a few with pebbles as she went. But today.... there was nothing. Not a fluffy-tailed target in sight.

Camilla pondered this odd development for about thirty seconds before shrugging and moving on. Guess they're just getting a head start on hibernation or something.

As she returned to the apartment complex, she made another observation. The dumpster out back was surrounded by garbage bags. That wasn't unusual, since their piece of shit landlord REFUSED to get a second dumpster to put out there. No, what was unusual was that the exposed and unprotected garbage bags were still intact.

They'd had a raccoon problem here since before Camilla moved in; there was ALWAYS some trash strewn about the area by those masked menaces. The pile of intact bags was highly unusual.... but also highly uninteresting. Camilla put it out of her mind as she tromped down to her basement apartment.

A few minutes later she was curled up cozily in Sikka's coils, delivering her bite-sized bounty to their sixth clutch of adorable little snake babies. It was as she watched one of the palm-sized snakegirls down a chicken nugget the size of her humanoid torso, that the pebble finally dropped. Camilla's indolent synapses fired as they underwent the arduous task of synthesizing observation and knowledge into a logical conclusion, and Camilla shot up in panic.

Oh shit, right.

• Camilla

  uhhhh hey willow just a quick question no big deal
• Willow

  Did you try googling it first?
• Camilla

  you know if lamias are like
• Camilla

  an invasive species?

  Anyway, it says that it should be fine, most lamia young don't make it through their first winter, and it's not like they can breed on their own. So no, releasing one clutch into the wild isn't a big deal
• Camilla

  okay uh
• Camilla

  what if it was hypothetically more than just the one
• Camilla

  like say maybe eight ish?
• Willow

  You
• Willow

  Eight???
• Camilla

  nine in a couple weeks
• Willow

  Oh my god
• Willow

  Okay well yeah in that case there is a pretty good chance that your ovi kink will have an impact on the local ecosystem
• Willow

  Okay wait, so there are like 200 little lamia wandering around your neighborhood now??
• Willow

  And you didn't send me pictures of ANY of them!!
• Willow

  God, they were so cute though... I wonder if Mistresses would let me keep one
• Willow

  Oh! And then we'd have our own supply of venom! We could do it ourselves, and we'd never have to buy from you again!

Camilla shot up from her sleep in terror. It was late, and she was sitting in Sikka's coils surrounded by her second clutch of young lamia.

She wasn't spending all year long as an egg incubator, she wasn't singlehandedly decimating the local squirrel population, and most importantly, she wasn't about to lose the most lucrative hustle she'd ever stumbled onto.

Camilla decided to lay off the laying for a bit, and rolled over to go back to sleep.
