The board beneath Ben breaks with a snap. A moment of shock registers on his face as his hands fling out sideways to grab something, anything.
Below him the two men look up and see him, they dont have time to react though.
Ben's hands catch nothing but air as he falls from nearly 30 feet up, the net filled with balloons is beneath him, he lets out one yell as he falls in to the net.
With a loud popping sound he crushes several of them before he reaches the net and rips through it. His normal human bulk would be enough, but since he is a little bit donkey now he weighs even more.
The two men on the stage instinctively duck their heads when they see the shape crashing down toward them.
A loud bray escapes Ben's mouth as he hits the ground, the net slowing him enough that he doesnt break any bones. His tail hurts where he landed on his rump.
He can see a rain of balloons falling as the whole in the net allows them to spill free.
They fall on him, and the two men, and several guards who have entered the room to investigate the loud shouts and probably the horrible donkey braying that Ben let out when he fell.
Ben closes his eyes. He touched the balloons. So have the others. He thought becoming part donkey was bad enough, he was afraid to see what would happen now to him and those around him.
Moans, a yelp, squeaky sounds. Ben opens his eyes...
