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!

[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.

[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.

[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.]
