Customer Service

Determined to get some answers, you hop to the back of the store. "Hello?" you call out, hoping to attract the old man's attention. At once, you hear a rustling sound, but instead of the old man, Brian (or Ryan) appears. "Yes?" he purrs inquisitively.

"Oh, hi," you respond. "I was just here this afternoon, and your employer gave me some slippers. Do you remember?"

"Slippers," Brian (or Ryan) murmurs to himself. His mind seems to be elsewhere, so you decide to start again.

"Uh, Brian?" you ask. "Ryan? Brian? Which is it?"

"Oh, sorry," he responds, evidently coming out of his daze. "I was just thinking about everything that has to be done before I can close tonight. Please go on with what you were saying."

"Thank you," you say. "I was given a pair of slippers, and they seem to have turned me into a rabbit. Is this a trick, I hope?"

Brian (or Ryan) is staring intently at a birdcage, but when you finish, he looks up without missing a beat. "The old man doesn't explain a lot of things to me, so I may not be of much use to you," he apologizes. "If worse comes to worse, you can always ask Nathan," he suggests, pointing to the wolf in the corner. "I hate to wake him up, though, so let me see first if I can help. As I recall, those slippers arrived last week from Germany. Or was it Austria? It could have been Austria."

Restless, you decide to interrupt. "I don't want to be a rabbit for the rest of my life," you explain. "Could you please just tell me what I can do to fix this?"

"Oh, gladly!" Brian (or Ryan) replies. "What would you like to be instead? We have a special on fauns and satyrs this week."
