periphrasing: (IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!)

Peridot's comparatively smaller size works in her favor here; she manages to avoid being trapped, but she doesn't get out unscathed.

As the blocks approach, she squawks, and her expert scampering instincts take over. Rather than going up, she moves to launch herself off the conveyor belt and dives under one of the blocks approaching from the side, intending to make the quick shift from raccoon to bat once she's clear. UNFORTUNATELY, it's such a close shave that, when the blocks slam shut around the space she was just occupying, it catches her fluffy little raccoon tail between them. And Peridot lets out a bloodcurdling screech, because she has just broken multiple bones at once.

Turning into a bat manages to free her, since her tail in this form is so short it's almost non-existent. But when she flies up to get a better view of what the hell just happened, there's still tears of agony in her eyes.
