Public Pressure

Arin here is a character that I adopted from Pram several months back.  Since then, I've been trying to flesh her out in more detail, developing her beyond her original concept and adding a few tweaks of my own.  She's still very much a work-in-progress, but here's some of what I have so far.

Arin - through a series of bizarre events that I have yet to work out - currently serves as host to a mass of symbiotic tentacles, which she houses in her womb.  In exchange for acting as a protective host, the tentacles provide her with a number of physical benefits - such as improved stamina, greater resilience (including in enhanced elasticity and healing), a more efficient metabolism, and a subtly adaptive physiology that can help to protect her from environmental hazards, such as extreme temperatures, drowning, etc. 

The relationship is not without it's drawbacks of course.  In addition to leaving her formerly trim tummy perpetually swollen, the tentacles have proven extremely sensitive to host's hormonal state, and will sometimes respond reflexively whenever Arin is in the grip of strong emotions.  Rage, fear and lust are particularly strong triggers, and will cause the tentacles to become agitated, resulting in them trying to emerge from Arin's body in order to help her deal with the cause of her anger, fear or lust. 

Needless to say, there are times when it simply isn't appropriate to have an army of gelatinous tentacles thrashing their way out from your nether regions, and Arin has learned, through careful practice, how to seal her unruly house-guests within her body when the need arises - either through muscular action or the use of special plugs.  Unfortunately, while this can buy Arin much-needed time, it does nothing to solve the root of the problem, and unless she can calm her emotions, the tentacles will only redouble their efforts.  The harder they strain against their confinement, the more engorged they become, causing poor girl's belly to bloat and expand uncontrollably, until Arin must either let them out or else risk bursting at the seams.

Here we see Arin suffering such an attack while relaxing at the beach (her swimsuit having snapped off as her body grew too large for it to contain).  Swollen nearly to immobility, she strains to hold the tentacles in, even as her belly begins to creak and groan ominously under the building pressure.  Despite her almost painful levels of arousal, she cannot bear the thought of letting her 'pets' loose around so many people.  Yet she knows that if she doesn't do something to alleviate the pressure - and soon - she's liable to pop like an over-inflated beach-ball.
