Blue.
The rare moon lights up the sky as if the sun itself is still awake, clouds seeming to glow blue in its light. Along a treeline grass whispers under many small feet as the creature enters the clearing, bells chiming softly as the creature sways its antennae in lazy back-and-forth motions. It stands on two pairs of its multiple rat feet, its long body arching up, bells ringing all down its scales save for the pale blue and white cape around its neck. The rat-centipede glows like the clouds, lights bubbling up from its belly as if the creature is made from a wrought iron lamp. Its white eyes are partially hidden beneath a small skull-shaped mask but mischievous whiskers and nose still twitch in the moonlight, a little smile on the creature's face as it sets a xylophone with rainbow keys on the grass.
The creature plays.
Materializing from the trees and almost from the moon itself, ghosts with eyes glowing blue float near the rat-centipede, charmed by the music. Teal wisps creep from the bells covering the creature and dance around the ghosts, mesmerizing them further as they join in, twirling around the clearing together. One stretches tall, trying to grasp the notes as they dance skyward. Another loops through the air while two sigh on the rat-centipede's back. Most simply bob this way and that in time to the sound.
The creature plays.
Everything is blue.
