Squeaky Guardians
Off in a secluded part of the city is a strange shrine. Looking like an inflatable bouncy castle, all the shrine grounds are vinyl and air-filled - the gate, the stairs, even the stone path and grass of the grounds itself are all smooth, pliant, and pressurised. The gate's vinyl creaking slightly in the breeze, the path squishing under foot, anyone that entered the shrine would find it a constant sensory experience.
It seems two visitors decided to check the place out, only to find themselves with new positions as the fox guardians of the shrine. Their bodies pulled onto the "stone" plinths, into proud fox poses. ... positions they're not likely to be released from any time soon.
Holy crap this might be the most detailed background I've ever done time to deflate in a corner.
