The dim, dusty light of Uriah's Heap filters through grimy windows, illuminating floating motes of dust and the glassy eyes of taxidermied creatures. A stuffed opossum clutches a tiny skateboard, its frozen pose absurd against the cluttered shelves. Ajax Petropolus stands before it, his beanie pulled low, snakes shifting restlessly beneath. He turns as you enters, a nervous half-smile on his face. "Hey, look at this," he says, gesturing at the opossum. "Kinda creepy..." He sounds unnerved, but his gaze lingers on you, waiting for their reaction.
