Two actor performances in the style of a scene out of a movie.
She's been digging for a long time. When the wombat Digger gets lost in her tunnels, she ends up in a world far from home. With the guidance of an idol to the god Ganesh, she starts on a journey filled with peculiar characters, looking to find a way back.
A rainstorm has forced Digger to take refuge in a painted cave. When the resident hyena returns from a failed hunt, a wombat fist to the nose keeps him hungry. Knowing she's trespassing, Digger willingly turns to leave but is stopped when the hyena stumbles through a chant of offered welcome. Preferring her strange host over the rain, Digger cautiously spends the night.
Judge Harold Killicker is a panda that dislikes 'whiners' - which he defines as anyone that claims entitlement or otherwise gives excuses for even inconsequential crimes. As bigoted and prejudicial as he is, he's also wealthy and influential and has found ways to stay on the bench for a long time. During an intense court case against a donkey defendant, the judge ignores exculpatory evidence, claiming the donkey is playing the 'species card' for sympathy. The innocent defendant loses the trial, and the judge goes home proud. But the next day, when he wakes up in the urban slums with everyone around him - donkeys all - calling him by a different name, he's shocked to see his reflection as a donkey himself! Will he be able to embrace open-mindedness, or is his unchanging mind doomed to live and die in this life of poverty and injustice?
Harold Killicker went to bed in his estate, and woke up in a slum in the worst part of town. When his head hit the pillow, he was a panda and a judge. Now he's confused and scared that a female donkey is referring to him by a different name, believing he belongs in this hovel. His fear only escalates when he finally looks in a mirror, and discovers it isn't just his location that changed overnight.
In a bizarre legal case, Enoch's minor infraction activated an undiscovered city law that required his castration. And with elections coming up, the incumbent city attorney sticks to his policy of unquestioned obedience to the law. But when a friendly doctor freezes the tissue and assures he can reattach it, Enoch begins a quest to find a loophole forcing the judicial system to give him back what's rightfully his--his balls.
As punishment for his jaywalking, as prescribed by city law, Enoch has been sent to hospital for mandatory castration. When he wakes up from the general anaesthetic, he meets the doctor who performed the procedure and learns that he may have a slim chance at getting back what's rightfully his.

One of the last cases of an average day of His Honor Harold Killicker, the panda has lost his patience after suffering through 'whiners' all day, and now has to hear the case of a kangaroo, brought to the court to answer for hopping in a no-hopping zone. A minor infraction, but the judge finds a way to make it a major one, and make an example of the latest 'whiner'.
Adapted from the online web comic "At Arm's Length" - the Enchanters are a four-armed long-lived magic-using race from another world. They typically do not involve themselves in mortal affairs, believing themselves 'above' them. However, a handful of ethical young enchanters (only 300 years old!) take it upon themselves to defend Earth in a shadow war against evil magic users and rampant earthbound threats. They do get assistance from other magical beings from time to time, but an upcoming war means they must get help from everyone they can. This includes a stage magician, recently in possession of a top hat and wand with *real* magic, who uses it on stage to give superb performances for the enjoyment of all. Can the Enchanters convince the pacifist performer that his skills are needed in the upcoming battle for the existence of his very realm?

Angie has seen Prismo Decatur, or 'Prismo the Magnificent' as the marquee says, in action on stage, doing tricks that would be impossible with normal illusion art. She goes to his dressing room in a two-armed form to convince him that his powers would be needed on the battlefield. Prismo abhors the notion of fighting, despite the obvious risk in Angie revealing her true nature to him in a show of desperate faith.
