Like most squirrels, Patrick was just about a ball of anxiety! Anxious that he’d make a bad first impression in front of his professors, anxious that he wouldn’t be able to keep up with the college workload, anxious that he wasn’t going to be nearly as smart as any of his peers, anxious that he’d end up losing his scholarships and going into endless debt, anxious that he’d never come up with a major to declare… and, of course, most of all, anxious about getting eaten!
Faculty were forbidden from eating students… which was a good thing, too, as a lot of them looked like they’d be extremely dangerous. On the other hand, students were allowed to devour other students ‘on a reasonable basis’ - whatever that means. And college tended to be where most predators got their ‘awakenings’, so… well, a recent study found that the Zinnia College student body shrinks by about 18% over the course of each school year. And as far as prey went, he stuck out like a sore thumb!
As the day progressed, though, his anxiety slowly faded. The dawn of the fall semester seemed to be a cause for celebration, and songs were playing and free food was being offered all over campus. Huge anthros who he thought were intimidating predators turned out to be pretty chill when he talked to them. His professors seemed to be interesting and funny, and he was already a tad fascinated by the glimpses of the material he was being given. Overall, the jubilant atmosphere on campus calmed him down, and convinced him it wouldn’t be so bad here…
Eventually, he had about an hour-long break inbetween classes, so he slipped away from the crowds, heading into one of the less used buildings to get some space. The opossum girl behind the counter gave him a smile, but beyond that, and the occasional student wandering around, the place seemed pretty empty, since there were no classes here today. He got even more privacy when he tucked himself away at one of the booths, his short figure obscuring him from anyone around.
With a smile, he took out his laptop and started going over the syllabi, making a little calendar of every assignment that was going to be due over the semester. As he did, he couldn’t help but overhear something… what sounds like heavy hooves, trotting down the hallway. Heavy enough to shake the table ever so slightly. He raised his ears, fearing that he may be alone with some giant predator… only to breathe in relief as he saw it was just a campus custodian. Since she was a faculty, there was no way she would be allowed to eat anybody… right?
Still, he couldn’t help but be fascinated by how big he was. Sure, she was a hippo, and hippos were supposed to be pretty big… but she was large even among them! She stood quite a few feet taller than Patrick, with a heaving, fat belly that poked out beneath her overly strained shirt, easily dragging a much smaller cart around as she lazily trotted down the hallway. She didn’t seem to notice him in that booth at all, which gave him the opportunity to steal a few shameful glances at that humongous, pudgy rump, barely contained by her overworked pants.
Once she passed, you went right back to working on your laptop… but eventually you noticed that she seemed to be loitering around this section of the building a lot. She didn’t seem to be cleaning anything, and it’s not like there was anybody even over here… what was she doing pacing around so much? Eventually, you notice something. There was a wolf guy sitting at one of the other booths, and every time she passed, she seemed to pause, glancing at him nervously. Did… she have a crush on him, or something…? You suppose he was pretty hunky.
As you work, you occasionally glance up at the amusing spectacle of a custodian apparently crushing on one of the students, maybe trying to work up the nerve to speak with him. That might be an interesting show! However, one time, as she’s passing, you hear something other than just her hoofsteps… was that… her massive stomach growling? You freeze up as you start to rethink the situation. Were those… hungry looks she was giving him? No, that wasn’t possible… faculty weren’t allowed to eat students…!
Before you could react, though, she had stopped right next to his table this time, and stood still there long enough for the wolf to notice and look up at her… only to see a massive hippo lady licking her lips! You can only watch in horror as those giant, pudgy hands reach up to grab him by the sides, suddenly lifting him out of his seat as he’s dazed by the sight of that massive, slobbery maw sliding open, her warm, foul breath washing over him! He can only let out a fraction of a yelp before those jaws slam down around his upper body, muffling his protests!
The anxiousness of the hippo seems to fade away as she’s overwhelmed with his taste, a satisfied look on her face as she suckles on and licks all over the student in her maw, his kicking legs dangling from her lips. Apparently, she must have not noticed you, and figured there would be no witnesses to her little work snack! You wanted to do something, but… you were sort of mesmerized by the sight of her tasting him, as his entire upper body is lodged in his maw. Like a deer in headlights, you sit there, trying to process the situation...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
