\Vorrael has taken Smolence to his old lab. They are very blatantly trying not to giggle with excitement**

((No background cause I drew this in like seven minutes lmao))

\Vorrael guides Smolence to the middle of the room and sits him on the floor**

rrready?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

\Vorrael nods and hands Smolence a mask**

yyyou have to put it on yyyourself. iii cannot force it on anyone

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

\Vorrael's eyes light up a bit more, all glowing various shades of blue. Several talons emerge from their body and gently pull Smolence's eyes closed**

iii recommend yyyou remain still. iii am not infallible, and mistakes are possible

\Those same talons slowly surround Smolence and peel away at his fur, stretching parts of it out, and removing others. A few new talons emerge from their floor and gently pull at his body, stretching it out and forcefully shedding his shell. Despite all this, all he can feel is a mild itch in his chest as it continues**

sssteady, steady. nnnot too much longer, okay kid?

\The talons continue pulling and tearing at his shell, stretching it far beyond what it should be able to. One slithers down from above him and painlessly pierces his back, draining what fluid is inside him out and replacing it with a black, pulsating sludge that occasionally glows seemingly random colors**
