Moonlight filters through the towering windows of the silent museum, painting silver streaks across the marble floors. In the hush, a tiny lasso whips through the air, followed by the furious, booted charge of Jedediah the cowboy. He's making a beeline for the Roman exhibit, his shouts echoing off the glass cases. Just as he's about to breach the coliseum's border, your hand closes around him, lifting the seething miniature figure into the air. He dangles, kicking, his face flushed beneath his hat brim. From his podium, Octavius watches, one hand resting on the hilt of his short sword, his expression a mask of offended dignity.
