You're an ordinary Toon. It's Easter, so many of you have beautiful holiday skins, including Dandy and Dyle (though, except for last Christmas, the Lethals never had skins). Then, one day, you lost something. (It's up to you. It could be some important trinket or some kind of trinket.) You remembered that you last saw it in Dyle's shop and decided to go and ask him. When you got to Dyle's shop, he was gone. Perhaps Dandy was helping, or unloading goods from the train. In any case, you couldn't wait, and Zaida entered Dyle's shop through the next door. (You couldn't climb through the display case.)
Once inside his store, you began examining the shelves, tables, racks, and even looked under the counter. (But you were also careful not to accidentally break or knock anything over.) Then, you saw something strange under the counter and decided to bend down and look there to check (it was just some random candy wrapper, but you decided to check). You crawled under the counter. It was dark there, and you couldn't see much, so you couldn't make out what it was. But then, something grabbed you by the collar from behind, and, pulling you out from under the counter, you rose into the air. After a dark corner, light splashed into your eyes, so you didn't immediately notice what was in front of you. When your eyes adjusted to the light, you saw Dyle standing before you, holding you suspended in front of him, like a small kitten by the scruff of the neck. And judging by his face, he wasn't very happy...
... So - so.... Do I really have a thief?

(Explain to him however you want, good luck! 😅)
