[video is of a small white rabbit and the background is that of a café. she gives friendly wave with her free hand.]

Yoohoo, it's Haru. Your local white rabbit who isn't from here and who is, yes, an actual rabbit! I know that confuses a lot of you human and other different animal types who've never met a talking rabbit before.

Kinda wanted to get that out of the way...

Anyway, I want a job to keep me busy while I'm stuck here and feeling useless while everyone else is going through changes and eating octopuses which is a bit creepy. Anyone here run a flower shop or a local garden? I ran the gardening club at my school.

I know this is pretty boring and you guys get a lot of these kinds of questions, but I'm also pretty bored so we're even.

Sweet huh? I mean...yeah...

[she DOES like Juno and has no ill feelings towards her now that everything's settled between them regarding Legosi, but she definitely knows how mean Juno can be when things don't go her way...

but, she is a young and pretty wolf. and she is nice.]

And the people who aren't stuck here for that long, how do they go back? Is it as random as some people make it out to be? Like, one minute you're here, the next you're not?

[Hey, as a mercenary and freelance interrogator it's not like the bar is high. He'd probably have found it adorable if she tried to outright kill him.]

Yes, it's fairly random.

Sometimes their bodies crystallize and sometimes they just disappear. Both groups who returned, either by de-crystallizing or reappearing on Iris seem to say they returned home.

The trouble with those who end up crystallizing is that people will also crystallize if they die here as well.

[hopticulture]

Ah that's kind of creepy no matter which way you wind up going.

But even when you do leave and go back home, there's still a chance you can be brought back here?

[she's not really going to ask much about being crystalized when dying though, because she's just going to assume like at home, death is just permanent and a fixture and being crystalized is just a weird thing that happens on this planet.]

[ocelthot]

[He wouldn't know about the whole people can come back after death thing here anyway. Though it does somewhat guarantee predation in the sense of her home world being particularly unlikely]

There is, which is certainly part of the frustration of being stuck here.

[hopticulture]

Guess it's just a new thing to get used to, then.

It's not like I knew where I'd wind up each and every day back home anyway.

[ocelthot]

Dangerous lifestyle or business as usual?

[hopticulture]

My lifestyle isn't dangerous but I am a prey animal.

I just accept that I can be eaten any day and live my life.

[ocelthot]

I suppose it makes sense.

A world with a variety of carnivores and no source of meat that isn't functionally another person... It's certainly going to have difficulties.

Though I imagine it also makes the legal and political fields fascinating.
