One night, you have a dream.
The headless pocket mouse is searching for you. You see its sharp claws. Baldwin and Pinkerton's voices are whispering something. You only catch some words. You monster, how could you of done this, I... The dream ends with you in a cube of jelly.
You wake up. Just a dream. Just a dream. Just a dream. But your mind keeps on going back to what happened three months ago... You didn't tell anyone about it. But somehow, people know.
You decide to go on Flight Rising. Perhaps a visit to your favourite website will help. You have a message. And, although usually you get loads of pings from your art shop, you have none. A click on the alerts shows that you never interacted with the community at all. You click on messages.
Re: Re: Would you like some art?
Strange. You go to your profile. You didn't notice it before, but your avatar looks ill, and she has slime on her face. Your clan description is just letters made out of goop.
GO NOW. DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKE.
You never posted on the forums, and your friends list is empty. The only comment on your profile is from a user called 'Baldwin and Pinkerton' with the spaces. Their avatar is half of Baldwin's face and half of Pinkerton's face. The comment was posted three months ago...
They're right. You did transmute a Ghostly Aura. You click on their profile. Their description is normal
Their comments are just people thanking them for items and asking for extra luck. Their only forum post is on a thread named 'DO NOT TRANSMUTE RODENTS!' You click on it. It's three months old. You immediately click away, but you click onto your lair. Bad choice. Goop is everywhere, and your dragons all look ill. Their eyes are focused on you. For no real reason, you turn volume on. They're all speaking.
"How could you of done this?"
"Not even a beastclan would do this!"
"We hate you! WE. HATE. YOU."
"Go away."
As soon as that last line is spoken, all is silent.
"Sleep."
Your dragons drop down dead. Except for two. Two who you didn't have before. Their names are Baldwin and Pinkerton. Suddenly, the volume is off again. You move your mouse towards it, but a pop-up appears.
Instead, you click on 'Ok' and then on Baldwin's- Wait, the dragons are moving. Pinkerton, who is to the right of Baldwin, slowly moves into him until they're both the same dragon. Baldwin's name changes to 'Baldwin and Pinkerton'. You click on them. Their familiar is... The Headless Mouse. Its description is You monster. Those are the last words you read. It seems to leap out of the screen. A moment it's there, the next moment it's not. Then, all is silent. Until it leaps. You feel blood on your head and claws digging into your neck. Then, it attacks you. It's all dark. All you saw was a headless pocket mouse.

You monster, how could you of done this? We trusted you. Before, you always put in a bit of fur, a feather, a bit of a claw. Never an entire head. And, then, when you transmuted that spirit. Now, the Headless Mouse is on the loose. Go away. Never return. For your own good. You're not going to do it now, are you? GO.

Hey, traveler. So, my sister over yonder... she's got this collection problem. She keeps clogging our lair with a bunch of useless junk. I'm trying to curb her... "enthusiasm" by giving away some things behind her back. You want something random?
Greetings, apprentice! Some dragons say that alchemy is a science, but I know that it's an art, and that the best art is spontaneous! That's where you come in. This brew is nearing completion, but it needs a little something to give it an extra kick!

Stop. You'll drop down dead, too.
