I was given permission to colour this wonderful drawing of Pokota being tickled.
Pokota wasn't sure how he had ended up in this situation. All he wanted to do was go see the magic show done by a popular Magician named Melody. He'd never intended to be the main event.
As soon as the show began, Melody announced that her first trick would require a volunteer from the crowd. Without even asking if anyone was interested, Melody immediately singled out Pokota. She lept into the audience and rushed towards the boy, grabbing him around the waist and taking him back on stage.
"For my first act, I demonstrate my amazing rope trick!" Melody said, still holding the boy.
A rope slithered out of her pocket like a snake and wrapped itself around Pokota's legs. More rope slithered down and bound his arms. One final strand wrapped itself around the bindings at both his hands and feet, leaving poor Pokota in a restrictive bind.
All of this happened far quicker than it should've, Pokota barely had a chance to ask why she was doing this. Melody then quietly explained that this is what she did in every show now. She finds the cutest kid in the audience and takes him up on stage. She then has him bound and tickles him silly for the rest of the show. The audience loves it!
"And now, a classic! Dis-embodied hands!" Melody said as several floating gloves swept down over Pokota and began to immediately tickle and tease his belly.
Melody calmly reached down and removed the boy's shoes and socks for more access to his feet.
Just as she said, the audience loved it. Pokota, of course, was extremely embarrassed. Still, the tickling turned out to be a lot of fun. The tickling definitely made it easier to ignore the audience and get lost in a ticklish euphoria.
Maybe he will try visiting more of these shows once this one is over. How long does it last? 6 HOURS?!
