Done during a stream is Sigma, who has full and equal rights to this because he helped me make it.

Before you continue, I advise you read up on my personal stitcher notes here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10877632/

This is gonna get dark.

Our little friend here is a Lapwing, but was originally human. He was a lively party man, but his actions had consequences and he wound up getting a woman knocked up. He had to make her an "honest woman" by marrying her, but she was as honest as he was willing to settle. He was simply too young and wild to settle and truthfully, the thought of his youth being cut short was depressing and even made him suicidal. But those around him rushed forward, because heavens forbid that marriage is a bad thing.

The wedding was set for a warm, early autumn day in a beautiful field next door to an abandoned amusement park populated by stitchers, but no one worried because hey, stitchers only came out at night and everything would be one before sun down, right?

Wrong.

Our protagonist dragged his feet, even tried running from the wedding, but no one would let him and he was doomed to a miserable life. Perhaps he didn't want to get married, but he certainly didn't wish for what happened.

As if wanting to spite the party goers, the stitchers of the amusement park came out several hours before sun down an opened season on the wedding party, crashing it and having a merry time of murder and mischief. The groom fled into the park, was captured, and under went the transformation ritual.

Like anyone who survives the ritual, the Lapwing's memories became dreams, and his old predicament is now just a sick joke he tells to fellow stitchers. His ex-fiance and unborn child were among the victims; one of her leg bones makes up his cane and the skull of the unborn baby, the cane head. He still wears part of his old wedding tuxedo and the skeletal remains of his feet stick out from his rag doll suit, startlingly human from his mutated bird body. His hunting method is to take bachelors and recently dumped males for a "night out on the town" in the amusement park, putting them through nightmarish versions of bar hopping and stag parties. At least he rarely kills his victims.
