Story idea: The most wanted woman in town has announced that she’ll only marry the one who can open her front door with the key around her cat’s neck. Many men try to hunt the cat down, chase and trap it, but to no avail, the cat is simply too quick, smart and clever, and always finds a way to evade and avoid them.
You are the first one to figure out the obvious: Do not chase the cat. The cat is befriendable. Get the cat to trust you, to genuinely enjoy your company, and you can hang out with the cat. You may eventually be allowed to touch the cat. The cat will freely let you take the key.
Secondary plot twist: The woman is a shapeshifter. She is the cat.
That’s some legit fairy tale level shit right there.
angus mcdonald is truly one of if not THE best characters in taz balance. hes just… 10 years old. chillin up on the fake moon. solving mysteries. eating dirt. doing whatever little boys do! maybe his grandpa knows hes on this little cosmic field trip and is suitably proud of him for learning magic and saving the world. maybe hes all on his own out here. whatever his situation is it doesnt change the fact that he snuck a crossbow onto a magic train with the intention of defending some silverware and accusing three grown men of identity fraud
