(Open thread =D Anyone can jump in) The sparkling white sand of Emerald Coast crunched beneath Bunnie's feet as she walked along its photogenic beach. She pulled in a deep calming breath of fresh salty air before slowly releasing it and glancing toward the companion following her, an albino tenrec, whom she had brought out here in the hopes of helping him relax. "How ya feelin', hon?"

The tenrec stumbled after the rabbot, the combination of medications and sand impeding him. That, and it didn't help he wasn't looking where he was going. Instead, he was surveying the glittering horizon. "S'kay, feel'n better. ... Iss pretty here. I haven't been to the beach since... since..." He blinked. "Can't rememmember."

Vanilla was stretched out on one of the hotels sun loungers, wearing a bikini and sunglasses. She picked up her fruit juice up off a table and took a sip. "Vacation... just what I needed" she sighed. The rabbot and tenrec took her attention.. "Hmm.. what a strange looking Rabbit.." she thought to herself.

Bunnie, not having noticed the other rabbit, merely chuckled at Dash. "So Ah reckon ya'll don't live near a beach, huh?" With a quick glance around for a place to relax, she took note of a nearby palm tree and decided it would be suitable. Sitting down at it's trunk she stretched and yawned.

"No... when I was little, I lived in the city with... mum and pop... and then..." he waved his hands a bit, then continued, "and now I live..." He paused again, this time blinking. Where DID he live? His stay at Robotropolis could hardly be called living, and he had no where else to go, really. "... WOW I jush realized I DON'T HAFF A HOME."

Bunnie arched her brow. "... Ya'll what?"

DEPRESSED DRUGGED UP TENREC TIME. "... I don't gotta hoome."

Vanilla was watching Bunnie and Dash. She could tell they weren't from around these parts. "Hmmm. Maybe I should say something?" A very playful Chao appeared from behind Vanilla's sun lounger and charged for Bunnie's head. "CHAO, CHAO! n.n" The shocked Rabbit jumped up out of the chair. "Chocola, NO!"

[dice=6] Bunnie's head canted to one side in confusion. "What do ya'll mean you ain't got a home, hon? Surely ya'll had to come from somewhere didn--" WHAM. CHAO IN THE FACE. Bunnie blinked in surprise at the playful little critter now clinging to her. "Well howdy there."[rand=22132743597419789831003220399017696063249670483730846081072729625]

UNHAPPY TENREC. THE CONTINUATION. "I wouldn't call where I've been home..." He shuddered at the thought, and, apparently, didn't seem to notice the small creature now hanging off of Bunnie's face. Instead, he just continued to stare off at the crashing ocean waves.

Vanilla jumped up and ran over towards the strangers. "I'm awfully sorry about my Chao friend." she moaned trying to pluck Chocola off Bunnie's face. "CHOC.. *PULL* O.. *PULL* LAAA! *PULL*" cried the Chao, clinging onto Bunnie face. "Let. GO!" she cried tugging the chao.

Cue anime-esque sweatdrops. Bunnie raised her hands up, also trying to coax the marshmellowy pet from her face. "Honey, Ah'm happy to see ya'll too, but Ah'd sure not mind breathin' again."

Did you know that crashing waves are kind of hypnotic? ... Well, they are.

Vanilla finally managed to yank Chocola from Bunnies face. "I'm awfully sorry about that. He's really playful; he can't help himself sometimes.". She held the chao tight in her arms and bowed gracefully to the strangers. "If there's anything I can do for you; don't hesitate to ask."

Once the chao was finally removed, Bunnie scratched behind her head sheepishly at the other rabbot's offer. "Nah hon, Ah think we's all got things covered, eh Dash?" she glanced over at the tenrec before back at Vanilla. "'Preciate the offer though," she paused then smiled, "Cute lil' nipper by the way. Swamp chao Ah 'ssume?

Calling the tenrec by name seemed to jerk him out of his revelry. Partly because, well, he was just called by name, and partly because he was actually called by his name, instead of... well, instead of anything else, like 'it' for instance. "Wha?"

'Well, if either of you need anything, you just come on over and I'll see what I can do." Vanilla released Chocola from her arms and sat back down on her Sun lounger.

And her question went ignored. Oh well, maybe the other rabbit just hadn't heard her, wasn't like it was anything important anyway. Besides, she had other important concerns as she looked back at Dash and pondered. "Well, hon, if ya'll ain't got no place to stay at Ah reckon yer welcome at my home as long as ya'll like."

Dash blinked in surprise at the rabbit, looking rather befuddled. "You... I... You'd let me stay?"

Bunnie shrugged and smiled. "Well I can't very well turn ya loose on the streets, now can I?"

"I... I... ... you're too nice." The small, embarrassed smile the tenrec wore said that her offer wasn't unappreciated, however.

The rabbit chuckled, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and giving him a squeeze. "Soon as ya'll feel up to it we can see about findin' Bogert fer ya too. He's a regular 'round ol' Charlie's stand so he shouldn't be too hard to get a hold of."

And then suddenly Bunnie leapt to her feet shrieking "EEEEEEE!" as she punched Dash in the face."Welp," Bunnie said as she tilted her head back in thought, then smiled. "Ya'll can keep yerself well n' stay outta trouble,"

The tenrec gave a sheepish half laugh. "I... I guess I can do that much?"

The two sat there for awhile, allowing Dash time to relax and recover from the hospital drugs. Bunnie, sitting there in thought, suddenly realized something... she was hungry. "Hey hon," she said to get Dash's attention. "Dunno about ya'll but Ah could go fer some grub right about now. What'll ya'll think?"

Actually... he WAS feeling rather hungry. He never did get to finish his meal before... before... He shuddered, his spines bristling slightly in fear. What if eating triggered it? What if the next time he tried to eat something he changed back again? "... I don't know if I should..."

"Oh nonsense," the rabbit insisted, giving him a playful punch in the shoulder. "Iffin' yer worried about money or somethin' Ah got it covered."

Post by Raki on Feb 11, 2008 0:20:27 GMT -5
The tenrec gave Bunnie a pitiful look. "I'm not worried so much about money as I am... I'm..." He shuddered again, then wrapped his arms around himself as if he were cold, despite the warm sunshine shining brightly on them both.

Bunnie frowned at Dash's obvious distress. She'd been trying to block out what had she'd witnessed earlier, chalking it up to her imagination and/or lack of understanding. And then what had happened in the hospital... Without much warning she wrapped her arms around him and gave him a tight hug.
