_{[ The feed clicks on to reveal the device face up and sitting on the floor, facing the ceiling of an apartment. What pans into view is what seems to be the head of a deceased boar sitting on top of.. a very fit and young looking man. With a snarl, he picks up the device with an aggressive motion and holds it straight out to him, beginning to pace with the device. Looks like someone has (somewhat) learned how to use selfie mode. When he speaks, his voice is loud but extremely low for someone his age. ]}

THIS IS FOR THE STRONGEST PERSON ON THIS PLANET. IF YOU ARE NOT HIM, SHUT UP.

_{[ A dramatic pause and then a deep breath: ]}

I AM LOOKING FOR THE STRONGEST PERSON HERE--!! WHOEVER IS THE STRONGEST, FIGHT ME!! I AM THE ALMIGHTY INOSUKE-SAMA AND AM A WORTHY OPPONENT. TALK TO THIS MAGIC BOX IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT. I WILL KICK YOUR ASS, YOU MAGGOT!!! KEHAHAHAHAHA--!!!

_{[ He's pressing a lot of buttons haphazardly on the device before it finally cuts off. ]}

[SHE IS JUSSSST.

what is going on. does this guy have a really small dick or something????]

Gee thanks for the reminder that I'm super weak. Here I was, going to challenge you and everything too.

[she wasn't.]

[boarishness]

Don't bother. I don't wanna hurt someone like you.

_{[ There is some shifting on the screen and it looks like.. Inosuke is taking a seat? And he's propping the device up on something behind it. He sits back on his haunches and puts his hands on his knees. Haru, you've somehow made him placated. ]}

What's your life like? Bein' a rabbit?

_{[ whaaaaaaat
is happening. ]}

[hopticulture]

[it's because she's soft and cute like baby..........

but usually the guys who belittle her like this don't ask upfront about what it's like being a rabbit. so she just...stares for a bit. because is this guy serious?

usually when she thinks about her place in the world as a rabbit she's in a near-death scenario.]

It's...um, it's fine. I mean I just live life day-to-day, trying to not die and get eaten. It's kind of insignificant, really, but when you're small you just have to make the most out of being alive, you know?

...what's it like being a boar?

1/2

[boarishness]

Yeah, guess I never thought 'bout it like that.. since rabbit tastes so good. I tear'em up--!! I don't leave anything remaining--!!
But back home, rabbits aren't people-rabbits like you.. they're just small.. and tiny.. and fun to kill and I gotta eat'em to live.. just like I eat fish--!!

_{[ A pause. ]}

Nobody should try to eat you since you talk like a person. If someone tries to eat you, I'll kill'em.

_{[ OH. ]}

<sub>[ It's nice to be referred to as a "boar" and maybe that's another reason Inosuke is instantly captivated by this rabbit girl. People always try to correct him and tell him he's a human and, well, he denies it because that reminds him that he has a human mother and those memories are painful.

Inosuke leans backwards on his hands for a moment. ]</sub>

It's nice.. you can do whatever you want.. nobody can tell you what to do.. and you fight a lot of things to show how strong you are..!! I wouldn't be anything else than who I am-- and that is me.

Oi, your life might be tough, but you should just keep being you 'cause that's the best way to be.

_{[ ??? ]}

[hopticulture]

I see...so even though you're a boar, you also have those even smaller rabbits that aren't like me. [maybe like how humans are a world of if big hairy apes became hairless and the dominant social animals, this weirdo comes from a place where boars did the same.

and though she is the kind of girl to stare down the reality of the back alley meat trade of her world, look at the corpses of fellow bunnies, and then tell her boyfriend he should kiss her in the middle of it all...her ear does still twitch as she thinks about what this boar man is saying in terms of tearing bodies apart you can't shake instinct....]

I'm glad to know you won't let anyone eat me. Even though I've done an okay job of not being eaten on my own.

[HAHAHAH that's a lie.]

I've actually sometimes wondered what it would be like to be a bigger, stronger animal. It would have probably made me a much different person. Which...honestly, I do like who I am.

You can't change the way you were born, you know?

[boarishness]

Well, 'cause.. it ain't really fair to you if you got spirit and all of that. I bet you give off a nice vibe.. I wish I could feel it!!!

_{[ what ]}

As long as you like yourself, that's good, that's good. I like myself, but I like myself even more when I win.
Even though you're puny, weak, pathetic, pitiful, not strong-- _{[ WOW ]} -- I'm sure 'cause you got spirit you could probably get stronger, you just gotta train hard.

I TRAIN HARD!!!!

[hopticulture]

A nice vibe, huh?

[what.]

You sure do seem like the athletic type who trains a lot. I never knew boars could have that much muscles...I know they're naturally strong but they're usually chubbier. But I'm not sure if I'm interested in training, honestly.

[boarishness]

Guess I'm just cooler than most boars. I'M AMAZING!!

Huh? You ain't? Why not? Don't that give you purpose?

[hopticulture]

I like gardening and plants. Guess you can say that gives me a sense of purpose.

There's also a guy I really like, so that also gives me purpose. I never really thought much about sports or exercise.

[boarishness]

I like destroying plants..!! And eating them!! Oi, I wouldn’t ever do that to your plants though.

HUHHHH? You like someone?
Why?

[hopticulture]

I do grow plants that get eaten! But I would be pretty mad if someone just came in and destroyed my garden.

[THIS GUY IS JUST OBSESSED??? WITH DESTRUCTION??

ANYWAY she shrugs!!]

There's a lot of reasons why I like him! But it's a bit personal.

[boarishness]

Mmmmmmm.....

_{[ He is thinking hard about this, don’t hurt yourself, Inosuke. ]}

You like him enough to mate with him?

_{[ WOW ... ]}

[hopticulture]

That's also really personal but yeah?

[SHE'S SLEPT WITH LOADS OF GUYS INOSUKE COME ON.]

But I like him more than that too! A girl doesn't have to like a guy a whole lot to sleep with him, you know.

[boarishness]

I’ve never mated with anyone.. I haven’t found anyone worthy!!

_{[ it’s not really something he’s really thought about. ]}

I suppose... it’s ‘cause I’m by myself a lot.. and when I meet someone near my territory, I wanna just stomp them instead of mate with them!!!

There’s a lot of people here though... I’ve never seen so many people before!! It is too much!! So.. maybe I will find someone worthy here.

Someone told me that is feels nice. Is that true?

_{[ I’m sorry. ]}

[hopticulture]

So you're a virgin?

[this guy has a really archaic way of looking at sex but it's probably where he's from or whatever. plus it's not like her own world isn't weird about who you can and probably shouldn't have sex with.

she's just. Uh. hm.]

It feels nice. I mean, nice is a bit of an understatement but it does depend on who you're with. Sometimes it's nice, sometimes it's better that just nice.

[boarishness]

I DON'T KNOW. AM I VIRGIN??
_{[ He was raised by boars. He's never heard of that word before. ]}

Oohhh.

_{[ A beat. ]}

You got a lot of babies then?

1/2

[hopticulture]

[WHY DOES HE HAVE TO YELL.....]

If you’ve never had sex before then yeah you’re a virgin.

[Said matter-of-factly, voice trailing off a bit.

And then...]

[hopticulture]

Ehh?? No! I don’t have any kids! I’m still in school!

[boarishness]

But that's what happens when you mate.

_{[ Look. His knowledge is limited. He's only really seen animals do it and that's all he knows. ]}

That's dumb. I never went to school.

[hopticulture]

[not going to comment on him not going to school bc the guy she's seeing is a highschool drop-out anyway lmao but....]

I mean sure, if you want kids or aren't careful about it.

...you've seriously never been given The Talk?

[boarishness]

I've had many talks, but usually it's from scum who are begging for mercy..!!
You mean to tell me there is a certain Talk that everyone experiences? A Talk that is mightier than any of the other talks you have in your life...!?

[hopticulture]

It's just a specific talk about sex. Parents usually talk about it with their kids.

[by which she means she is Not Going To Give The Talk to this guy!!]

[boarishness]

My mom was a boar... the dumb kind that don't speak..!! And I had no father.
_{[ ????? ]}

[hopticulture]

[???????

who calls their mom dumb? and if she didn't speak and he didn't go to school then how does he--- nevermind!! nevermind.]

Maybe ask an adult here to tell you more about sex, then....
