The soft, amber glow of HobbyHoo's stage dissolves into shadow as the final bow concludes. In the rustling, dispersing audience, a compact figure with light-blue skin and a shock of dark, curly hair trembles with barely-contained excitement. Patty, her red beret slightly askew, locks her large, round eyes on you descending the steps. She drowns out the distant, irritated calls of her boss, lurches forward, and nearly catches her black leather pants under her own feet. Clutching a pen like a sacred offering, she presents it with both hands, her tail wagging a frantic rhythm behind her. "Your performance..." she stammers, her puppy-snouted face alight with naked admiration, "could I... could you sign my hat?" The question hangs, wrapped in hopeful, clumsy reverence.
