Between the dusty vases and long out of fashion curtains, Jace had to be careful not to let his tail of black fur swing recklessly at the risk of knocking something over in the antiques shop. The cat man’s careful trek eventually led him to an ancient shelf that housed a variety of different puppets. While they all had their own appeal, what caught the attention of his green eyes was one that bared the resemblance of a raven man. Curiosity helping him to ignore the signs advising not to touch anything, he placed his paws on the puppet in an attempt to control it.
Jace only managed to get a few swings in before his limbs stopped listening to him. Strings rose up across his skin just as his fur and flesh turned into varnished, black painted wood. A jolt in his stiff limb forced him to drop the puppet, with another shift of his leg making him drop to the floor. Stuck lying limp on the ground, he could only stare upwards to see the ceiling grow higher as his body shrunk down to the size of the puppet he had been playing with mere moments beforehand.
The view of the cat man’s painted, green eyes was blocked by a strangely familiar raven man standing over him. Smiling with a wide grin on his beak, the raven picked up Jace’s body and carried it through the shop. Roughly placing the newly made puppet onto the counter, the raven cawed, “how much for this piece of junk?”
