Digby Digging-Dance, the plump and porcinesque fae dandy, was praised as connoisseur of cakes and a prince of pastries. Or at least he was back home. Here in The Loomy Gloom, the fae undercity and capital of hedonistic desire, Digby was nothing more than a poor upstart. Just another artisan come to the big city in search of greatness, only to be crushed beneath the realisation of their own mediocrity.
It had only been a month, but Digby knew he had made a terrible mistake coming here. Not only was he was deeply in debt due to the move, but his new boss/landlord, Mr Come-come Creampie, a flamboyant but brutish half-giant, was without a doubt the meanest bully in the entire undercity. He paid poor Digby pennies, and charged him a fortune for room and board. But worst of all, he had a quick temper and a twisted nature. Mistakes were not tolerated at Just Desserts, Mr Creampie's backalley diner. Sanctions and punishments had been commonplace, with a somewhat ramp up in the last few days. Most recently yesterday, after Digby had somehow shrunk all of his clothes in his weekly wash, Mr Creampie replaced his clothes with ridiculously frilly dresses that were so short in the skirt they hardly covered his new pink panties. These were to be Digby's new uniform until he earnt back his dignity with hardwork and a show of dependability. And all Digby could do was helplessly submit to his boss's humilitiating terms. Doing otherwise at this vulnerable point would either land the fae in debtors prison, where he would be subjugated to far worse torment, or land him face down in the knee high muck of the undercity streets, condemned to beggary, and likely deviant and unrequited buggary. No, Digby would do as he was told. It was still early days. If he just kept his head down and kept his boss happy, perhaps eventually Mr Creampie would recognise his value as a gifted gastronaut. Unfortunately, and unbeknownst to Digby, tonight Mr Come-come Creampie was eagerly waiting for an opportunity to start the next phase of his fiendish plot. Aka the grooming of a prized pet pig.
