I'm going to do a take your own adventure!
The Shu wanders onto the path strewn with white feathers. The Shu stops when its paw treads in something cold and wet... and black. Ink? The Shu now notices that the plants filling the area are dripping the black substance and soon it begins to rain down onto the Shu, staining its redish orange fur. A wind picks up and the feathers the Shu noticed on first entering the path, pick up off the ground and pelt the Shu and stick to it, but strangely, when the feathers touch the black liquid, they remain untainted. By the time the Shu escapes the path, its long tail is dragging, leaving a trail of black in its wake and only a few places remain where it shows its original red fur and the feathers, they're everywhere, on the Shu's head, giving it what appears to be a messy crest, that flows down its back, and a few stick out of random places on the tail and legs, all shining white against the black and red-orange.
Thanks, I'll send TU once it's done! ^_^
