Up in the branches of her favorite climbing tree at the very, very edge of the woods, Jubilee pondered. Like many, she'd overheard the commotion at Bit and Bobble's--and to say she was intrigued was an understatement. An ancient funeral mask? That sounded awesome! Never mind that it was made of gold, she was more interested in the whole ancient funeral thing. What did it look like? Who did it belong to? If she were the one to find it, could she maybe try it on? That thing probably touched bones! Ooh, maybe it was even cursed, and she'd turn into some kind of mummified monster if she put it on! Heehee, how gross! ...And really cool!

Oh, but she supposed if she wanted to get a good look at it, she'd have to help find it first. The shopkeepers would be so grateful, they'd have to let her take a gander, right? Mm, but how was a kwilling like her supposed to even be taken seriously in such an investigation? Would the adults even humor her questions? And who to talk to first?

Well as luck would have it, that last question had an immediate answer. Ears pricking at the sound of crunching footsteps, Jubilee hid from sight in the shadows of the tree boughs and peered out at the approaching kwillian. Mutis! Of course! He lived out here in the woods. And if anyone knew about strange goings-on, it'd be him. Plus, Jubilee reasoned, he'd probably listen to one of the few kwillings who had no fear of approaching him.

He'd be coming under her tree branch any second now. Gripping the branch tightly with her hind legs, she prepared to swing out in front of him... Three... two....

"Hi Mr. Mutis!"

"Augh--" he made a noise of surprise, then quickly composed himself, crossing his arms to show that he was actually, definitely NOT surprised by this upside-down child suddenly appearing in his face. Oh... it was this one. That weird one that kept asking him to give her a tour of the woods. He sighed. "What is it now?"

"Well, there's some weird stuff goin' on lately, and I was wondering if you had a minute... "

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

And so it begins! My predestined-to-be-spooky gal getting a head start in a spooky investigation. Even if her motivations are a bit... odd, her heart is in the right place.

And yeah, I know it's picture OR writing, but I wanted the image to have a little context, you know?
