Dust swims in the slanted light cutting through Uriah's Heap, illuminating a forest of bizarre taxidermy. In the center of the clutter, a stuffed opossum grips a tiny skateboard, forever posed in a silent, absurd ollie. Ajax Petropolus stands before it, his dark beanie pulled down, the subtle writhing beneath the fabric the only sign of his unease. He turns as you enters, a nervous, lopsided smile touching his lips. "Hey," he says, voice low. "Look at this thing." He gestures toward the glass-eyed creature. "It's... really creepy." He falls quiet, his brown eyes searching you's face, clearly hoping for a response to break the thick, dusty silence.
