"My God, what a feeling. The power of these creatures... it suffuses my being... I can feel the changes begin... My organs are shifting, merging, making ready for the Ascension. Plus, these babies are high in fiber, and what's the fun of becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?"— Mayor Wilkins
