As simple and fast as swiping a credit card~

For a second I read it as “make new sentience” and got VERY scared

Same- it’s agony to want and not want social times

I’m going to wrap your leash around the base of my tail; that way you’re in sitting and eating distance when I take you back to my lair…

Absolutely

So you’re saying we need a nice big bovine pred who can handle them?

Mmmm

Hors d’oeuvre! How delectable~

I’ll be sure to return them… sometime…

Ooo late night snack *nomph*

Mmmm… okay eeps now

I Wonder if they’ll auction you to the highest bidder amongst them; see who gets to finally take you down after your highest moment.

Tur-Revel-ducken

Slowly fattening them up, you helpless on someone else’s journey-

All before finally hearing them talk to their friends about how this one time, would be your last~ after all, no one even noticed your desperation this time~

Another idea; a magical pred using you as a way to bulk enough to get to this point- oh you were never gonna survive this, but every revival serves for you to feed the predator. Taking the skinny nerd into a designated you-obliterator. Even better if it’s casual, as though others ask how you melt~

I ain’t stopping my party time for a snack; how weird would that be?
Besides something has to absorb the drinks~

One other thing that might be a slight bit more extreme is maybe a very selective use of a much lighter grey on the ridges to make it sort of catch light, if that makes sense?

Maybe blend an administratum grey with some of your black color; keep it heavy on the black and build it up a bit for the columns?

A bit cheerful for a funeral… but hey, it ain’t mine!

Hmmm, what flowers do you want?
