IT'S A BABY-BONANZA!

[paradisamods]

Good morning, residents! Did you sleep well? You're going to need all the energy you can muster because congratulations: You're parents! Again! The Paradisa Stork has paid some very lucky residents a visit last night, and even moved them to a more kid-friendly environment.

Some of you may already recognize your little bundle of joy and--my, how they've grown! Others will have to get acquainted with their little rugrats. You may not know them, but they certainly know you. By they way? They're bored. And hungry! And they want all the attention you could possibly give them.

It's going to be a long week.

(ooc: Use this as a catch-all post! This will be the only mass post for the Sunny Skies Retreat, so you may use it for any day that you'd like. Feel free to make your own posts and/or sections whenever you'd like!

[If the big one will let him, York will very gently pet him and scratch right around the ears.]

And here we have tons of space, so.

[He grins.]

Do they have names?

[the_marli_tharn]

[He does, although after a moment he shifts his head to nip York playfully on the finger. Hyzenthlay hops forward and cuffs him lightly, don't bite friends, and then names off her litter;]

The big one is Thlayli, and these two are Hazel and Thrayonlosa, and this guy,

[Nudging the fuzzy one out from behind her, again.] This one is Zornrah. I was hoping the name would help his timidity, but I don't think it is doing much in that regard.

[encryptedlock]

[Well, that's a mouthful. York shakes his bitten finger quickly, but he seems to be all right.]

Zornrah, huh? It's okay, little guy. I won't hurt you. What does your name mean?

[the_marli_tharn]

"Prince of destruction."

[Not a typical Lapine name by any means, but she'd been hoping it would empower him.]

[Hazel hops over to Thlayli and the two start chasing each other int he grass, curling around York's feet.]

[encryptedlock]

[Help, he's going to die of cute.]

Do you think it'd be okay if I brought my kids over to meet them some time? I promise they'll behave.

[the_marli_tharn]

Yes, that would be alright. If your kits are anything like you then I have nothing to worry about.

[encryptedlock]

[Aww. At least the talking rabbit believes in him. Well, he can't argue with that, really. Also, he's half paying attention to the little bunnies next to him and half still trying to convince Zornrah to come over.]

They're great kids. I'll bring them by sometime.

[the_marli_tharn]

I look forward to meeting them.

[She gives Zornrah and encouraging nudge, and he hesitantly takes another hop towards York.]

He's so big!

[encryptedlock]

[Holy shit the baby bunny talks. York just gets the hugest grin on his face.]

It's okay. I'd like to be your friend, little guy.

[the_marli_tharn]

[Indeed he does! He looks back at Hyzenthlay, who gives a little nod towards York, he's okay. Zornrah takes another little hop and very briefly presses his nose to York's hand in greeting.]

What's your name?

[encryptedlock]

[Help York's gonna die.]

My name's York. I'm staying up in the big building with my little kids.

[the_marli_tharn]

[Death by cute? There are worse ways to go.]

Is it nice there?

[He looks at York's hand, sniffing it and inspecting it, and then Thlayli and Hazel race past in their chase and Zornrah startles, hopping up and back and landing in York's hand.]

[encryptedlock]

[York freezes so as not to startle Zornrah, though for the moment he's pretty fascinated by the tiny little fuzzbutt and how fast his heart seems to be racing.]

It's pretty nice, yeah. Not as pretty as it is out here, though.

[the_marli_tharn]

[Hyzenthlay has gone rigid, waiting to see what happens. The people here may be nice, but they're still men, and she's still instinctively wary of interacting closely with them.]

[Zornrah remains stock still, once he's realized where he's landed, but as York doesn't seem to be doing anything to harm or further startle him, he starts to relax slightly.]

I-is it?

[encryptedlock]

[York nods and very very carefully reaches over with his other hand to pet that super-soft fur.]

Yeah. Everyone has their own little area, families together, and then there are a couple of special rooms - a big pool of water, one with all kinds of things to play with, and of course all the food we can eat. But out here you get sunshine and flowers, and even the trees are nice.

[the_marli_tharn]

[Again, Zornrah freezes, the contact itself not uncommon from cuddling with his mother and littermates, but still rather startling coming from something so big. After a moment, though, of no additional surprises or threats, he relaxes again. Hyzenthlay herself is still on edge, but she did not have this opportunity as a kit and is less easily comforted.]

[Zornrah looks up at him with wide eyes.] You don't eat grass?

[encryptedlock]

[He's so soft. York's smile gets even bigger, though there's a distinct warmth to it as well. Reminds him of his tribble, a little, but the little guy talks.]

Nah. My teeth aren't sharp enough, really. Mostly we eat processed food, like vegetables that we heat up to make them soft or seeds that we pound into dust and then mix with water, that kind of thing. [And meat, but probably better not to menion that.]

[the_marli_tharn]

[Zornrah looks at him, completely not understanding. Even Hyzenthlay twitches her ears as she tries to make sense of. Pounding seeds into dust?]

[encryptedlock]

I know, I know, it's weird. But that leaves more grass for you guys, right?

[There are an awful lot of humans in this place, after all.]

[the_marli_tharn]

That's right! [Hazel stops short and Thlayli hops to the side to avoid crashing into him, then pounces on him anyway and the two tussle in the grass for a moment. Zornrah noses York's hand in agreement.]

[encryptedlock]

[Yep. Dead of cute. York gives the little bunny some little scritchies behind the ear in return and then gently sets him down. Jack will probably be waking up from his nap soon.]

I should probably get back to my own kids, but--you guys have fun out here, okay? And if you need anything, let me know?

[the_marli_tharn]

Through the -- [Hyzenthlay struggles to think of the word as Zornrah hops back to her side, and Thlayli pounces on Thrayonlosa.] journal?

[encryptedlock]

Right. Just ask for York.

[Note to self: next time bring camera.]
