"How's he holding up?" Mathew heard through the darkness, his ears still ringing.

He could still feel the pain pulsing through his body from being folded in such an uncomfortable way in his previous life. The voice was the familiar one, that voice in his head he couldn't quite shake... The one he heard in the darkness between his deaths. The red symbols were faded now, but they were still there. They didn't resemble Kanji of any sort... They looked, otherworldly.

"It's operating quite well given the circumstances." The Australian voice said. Her words filling Mat's ears as though she were speaking right next to him. He could even hear the sound of her lips parting, it was unsettling... But so real. Almost as though he were there, just silent - with his eyes closed. "I dare say the programming was a success. Nirvana have anything good to say?"

"She's worried, about that world. The one off the radar that he keeps disappearing to... Says it may be a world line connected to a different streamship." The Japanese voice replied.

"I wasn't aware there was such a thing... I've been working on a way to track our Transient into that world, perhaps we can at least control where our pawn goes next."

Just then, Mathew's mind fell away. It was almost as though water had come up around his body. He could feel the crisp, cool liquid rising around his skin. However, he couldn't hear anything... It was such a strange experience, though the fact that he was no longer reeling in overwhelming pleasure was a strangely pleasant turn of events.

The darkness gave way to light as Mathew's eyes opened once more. He could hear the sound of wind blowing through the trees, the idle sounds of birds off in the distance. As his vision returned to him, he could clearly make out trees blocking the clear blue sky. Sun beat down through the branches as his other sensations began to come back to him - pain was one he could do without at this point. The ground was searing, almost to the point of burning his skin. Fortunately for him though, this was one of the rare instances in which he awoke with enough energy to move and exist.

It must be something that they control...

He quickly sat up, pushing himself off of the hot cement as the air slid across his overheated back. It was fairly soothing, which was a pleasant indicator that he wasn't actually burnt. Quickly, the little one scurried over to the first bit of shade on the ground. When his feet were both firmly planted on cool ground he was able to fully assess his situation. It was far more dire than he had initially realized, the sound of footsteps had come to a stop nearby and the portion of ground he once lay upon was no longer in direct sunlight. Mathew could also hear the faint sound of music... Faint, but it was definitely there.

"Oh, This is unfortunate..." Mathew heard above him, turning to look up to the enormous creature that stood casting a shadow over him. He towered over the little creature on the floor, his long ears dangling down from the sides of his head. He had some headphones on that were hooked to a cord that ran into his pocket, which easily explained the music that Mathew was hearing. He was a bunny, and it would appear that he would be Mathew's downfall in this particular world. His mere presence began the process of pleasure in Mathew's little body once more - the appendage between his legs began to stiffen at the concept of his imminent demise. "Small, unaware and wandering about."

He reached down, plucking Mathew from the ground between his index finger and thumb. The sudden climb in altitude was jarring for the little one, who had no chance to escape the giant rabbit. As Joshua lifted him from the ground, he brought the toe of one foot to the heel of the other and used that to pull his shoe free. The sock clad paw landed on the concrete next to his shoe with a casual grace. Everything went fairly smoothly for the bunny, his left hand snatching up his shoe by the heel and lifting it up with the little human he had just plucked from the ground.

"I think bundled up tightly beneath my sole for hours is a more satisfying position." Joshua said as he looked to Mathew, taking note of the little human's arousal that now pulsed between his legs.

Unceremoniously, he tossed the little one into the darkness. Mathew watched as he fell, the heat of the day instantly intensifying as he landed on the heel section of the bunny's shoe. The smell was enough to make his next breath a moan as the waves of pleasure began to pulse through him with each beat of his tiny heart. Joshua knelt back down, setting his shoe on the ground and looking to the little human laying there where his heel normally would be.

Without another word, he lifted his foot over the opening. Mathew took in a deep breath as the black fabric came over the opening of the shoe. The quick motion of him shifting the shoe to a more desirable position to don immediately sent Mathew tumbling toward the shoe's instep. Joshua's toes blocked out the sun as the fabric ball of the bunny's paw came in. It landed directly on Mathew's face, and the instant pressure made it feel like the little one's skull was about to pop.

As Joshua slid his heel in, the toes slid forward into the shoe dragging Mathew along. He squirmed, his arousal making contact with the warm sock fabric as the space he had occupied began to dwindle. The bunny could feel his motions beneath his sock, but only barely... His heel slid into place, and he stood as though nothing had changed. The squirming beneath his sole began to die down slightly as the pressure increased on his little victim, encasing him in a deadly tomb.

He began to walk once more, listening to his music with his hands in his pockets.

*Whump*

Mathew felt his legs press down as the pressure rolled up his body, forcing his organs to shift inside of his body. The air was pressed from his lungs, forcing him to breathe out - then back in as Joshua walked. Each step was more painful then the next - until the abuse became too much for Mathew's battered body. It wasn't long into the bunny's walk that Mathew's body began to fail. The constant rolling pressure from his legs to his chest forced organs up into places where they did not belong.

Finally, the horrendous train-wreck of pain and pleasure came to a devastating end when everything failed at once.

Joshua felt it... Mat's body compressed all at once. Mid-stride he felt the 'pebble' of a human beneath his sock clad foot resist the pressure, only to pop and disappear. In the next step, it was almost as though Mathew had never existed... He still had a very long way to walk though - the little one was dead but that wouldn't stop the bunny of course. By the time he finally removed his sock, Mathew's body had been flattened so far beyond recognition that he was merely a stain on the already black fabric. What wasn't actually ground to a pulp had found its way to the side of the shoe's insole.

It was truly as though he never existed.
