[they're a lil spooked by the death vibes so it takes longer to coax them, but the babies are young enough to be coaxed. the mama bunny has decided she's had enough of this and refuses to do any more jumping while the littlest one bounces on up to Kevin's shoulder with an ungainly scramble]

--There you go!

[abandon_hope]

-- That worked.

[ delighted?? ]

[mykidisthebest]

Of course it did! You live with them, so they're getting used to you.

[he also looks relieved though. it's hard to know how animals will react to other people]

[ especially dr doom over here. but this rabbit seems fine enough. ]

I guess you can get used to just about anything like that.

[mykidisthebest]

It does make it easier to get used to someone if you spend most of your day with them. It helps if they're nice like you, too. I don't think we've ever had someone on Lily who was a jerk.

[abandon_hope]

Nobody? Not even temporarily?

[mykidisthebest]

[mentally running through all of the Lilies he's ever spoken to in his head]

Nope. Everyone's been decent. I mean, if you're really trying to nitpick, Styx is a jerk. But he's got a good heart so it doesn't count.

[abandon_hope]

...........

Someone named themselves Styx.

[creates a mini illusion of a scrungly looking tall guy]

We were working off of a naming theme when everyone first got here. Aides picked it out for us. That's why a few of us are named after the rivers.

Okay, he does look a little bit like a Styx. Kriòmyxos.

[mykidisthebest]

Right? I thought it suited him. But I don't have any of the associations with the people or place like you do.

[abandon_hope]

[ SIGH ]

I'm not actually mad about the name theme. It's just very weird to walk into.

[mykidisthebest]

[nods]

I didn't think you were mad. But I get that it's probably a little awkward.
