[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.

M-moonlacing, mostly. When you're doin' it, the world around ya goes a little crazy from all the energy.

'hem... Soil, huh? Must be pretty good in the Groves. That's where I pop in for the farmer's markets when I need groceries. The size of the fruits n' vegetables people get outta the ground there's friggin' crazy! I once considered buyin' a daikon radish that's as big as I am!

[He fell to thought, scratching his head.]

But what the hell would I even do with it? Pickle it?

[hopticulture]

I still don't really get this moonlacing business, honestly. At first I thought it was just sex but if that transfers to plants then...hm...

[sorry she just speaks what comes to mind, sometimes. she'd cross her arms but instead she just taps her thumb to her lip.]

And yeah, soil. Some plants like fruits and vegetables need lots of nutrients in their soil because it takes a lot of energy to produce what we eat! Certain plants can die if you give them too much nutrients in their soil though, so it's all a matter of both trial and error and reading up on different kinds.

It must be pretty good if there are daikon radishes as big as humans! If you didn't want to pickle it you could just use it for a really big party.

It's the chroma- all the animals n' plants have it, but prismals can't produce it. We can when we moonlace. So we basically are walkin' batteries or... suns, I guess.

[He hurried for a nearby note pad and wrote this down. 'Too much nutrition = bad', and maybe look into how much flowers need, and how much the things he wants to plant need. Imagine if he could turn his brown thumb green!]

...'Nother hot pot party, maybe? I wouldn't mind throwin' one of those.

[But a thought occurred to him:]

Oh, but speakin' of blessings: Lotta books around here love puttin' Irises and Sanguises together. Somethin' about a big wild beast with little rabbits is pretty appealing.

Sanguises around here don't bug ya, do they? I'm lookin' to keep the others in check if they're bein' assholes.

[hopticulture]

Oh, I love hot pots!

[Super vegetably hot-pots obviously. And being an herbivore she never really had a need for tofu either.

But his question does...intrigue her a bit. Irises and Sanguises commonly being put together, huh? From what little she knows about the moons and the animal transformations, she does kind of get the prey/predator vibe from it. With Canids being in between.

Something about a big wild beast with little rabbits...]

Nobody around here, Sanguis or not, has been bothering me! That's interesting you say that. Where I'm from, prey animals and predators being together is still really taboo even though it's not illegal.

But I guess predation only happens with those small, non-talking animals that I've seen, huh?

[topgun_textiles]

Well when I throw another one I'll letcha know. I'll also get that big fuckin' daikon.

[But nobody was bothering her, good. But interracial relationships being taboo...? That sounded pretty familiar to back home for him. Maybe they feared some big bear or something was gonna eat their classmate or something.

Imagine that.]

Yeah, farmers raise animals for food. When ya think about the prismals and people like you, I guess it does sound pretty morbid, huh?

Nobody's looked at my girlfriend like she's food, and she turns pretty bunny-like during Iris. I mean, if they did, they got two problems comin' up quick on 'em. Fortunately there ain't any prismals n' moonblessed eating each other, so at least we got that goin' for us.
