[after feeding the purple bunny, it zips off past the receptionist desk and out the door, bounding its way across the grounds. natalie will have to be quick to keep up, but the bun seems to be leading her straight to the camp store. the door swings open for the bunny and as natalie enters, she'll find purple heart seated behind the check-out counter. they bend down to scoop up the bunny as it approaches, depositing it on their desk before turning to wave a hand toward natalie in greeting.]
[Miss Goodman sounds much too formal. She watches as the bunny runs to its owner, glancing up to... Well, eye contact is difficult in this exact situation, but she's looking towards their face, at least.]
[after feeding the bunny, natalie won't have to go as far as she did with the purple rabbit; the gray one simply hops down the hallway, allowing her temporary access to it so she can reach the door marked with a new moon. inside is what appears to be a normal office, with black shadows seated behind the desk. the rabbit will remain near natalie, curious about her, while the director gives her a nod.]
[after feeding the blue bunny, it zips off past the receptionist desk and out the door, bounding its way across the dirt path. natalie will have to be quick to keep up, but the bun seems to be leading her straight to the mess hall. it is there that she will find winter wizard in the middle of dumping leftovers into one of the bins, and placing an empty tray on top of it. they will bend down to scoop up the bunny as soon as it hops their way, and then turn to face natalie.]
Hi! Are you hungry? I can wait for you if you want to grab a snack.
[after feeding the purple bunny, it will dash its way down the hallway and toward a door marked 3C 💜, allowing natalie to follow. as the bunny approaches the door it swings open and allows natalie to enter what appears to be a normal camp office. the bunny bounds ahead, scampering up a makeshift ramp on the side of the desk and stops in front of purple heart who is seated behind it. they nod to natalie and gesture to the chairs before them with their bandaged hand.]
[the gray bunny leads natalie to the new moon office, where black shadows is seated behind their desk. they take a moment to pet the bunny as it hops up next to them, before they turn their attention in natalie's direction.]
[Heart is her director, so she feels a little bit more comfortable coming to them to get angry, and Winter is probably going through some shit, so... For the more general questions, she's heading to Shadows.]
I had a few questions about the store, and the task system in general.
[after feeding the blue bunny, it zips off past the receptionist desk and down to the door marked as 3A CONFERENCE ROOM. granting natalie access to the hallway temporarily. the door swings open for the bunny and as natalie approaches she'll find a relatively cozy space. a couch pushed against one wall, a whiteboard on the wall opposite to the door, and a low circular table with beanbag chairs set around it. there is a water cooler and snack shelf in one corner of the room, and decorative plants can be found here and there.
natalie will spot winter sitting on a beanbag chair that has been dragged over to the corner with the cooler and snacks, their knees drawn up as they swish the contents of a soda can. they look up as the blue bunny hops over to their side, reaching out with one hand to pet the bunny.]
[Winter is the one she's the least likely to be angry at right now, honestly. They have probably had a long day! She glances at the snack shelf, then back to them.]
[after feeding the purple bunny, it zooms past natalie and seems to race down the hall toward a door marked as 3C 💜. the door swings open for the bun and it scampers inside, dashing up a makeshift ramp by the desk to huddle on the desktop. as she enters the room, she'll find purple heart seated at their desk with a mug of what smells like coffee before them. the bandaged hand slowly moves to pet their bunny's ears before they nod to the chairs before them.]
[as natalie feeds the purple bun, it turns and begins to zoom toward a door marked 3A. entering the conference room, she will first notice a couch pushed against one wall, a whiteboard on the wall opposite to the door, and a low circular table with beanbag chairs set around it. there is a water cooler and snack shelf in one corner of the room, and decorative plants can be found here and there. and smack dab in the center on a beanbag is purple heart. there's a bottle of wine and an empty glass just out of reach, and they pat their bunny on the head as it scrambles to join them on the beanbag. after a moment, they turn to look at natalie and gesture to the other chairs.]
[not long after natalie feeds the purple bun, it turns around and runs out the door to lead her toward the kitchen. as the door opens for the bun and for natalie, she'll find purple heart...staring at the slushie machine and seemingly waiting for one to be made for them. they glance at natalie over their shoulder before gesturing.]
[not long after natalie feeds the purple bunny, it zips off and out of the office, leading her straight to the camp store. as the door opens for both bun and natalie, she'll find purple heart at their desk with a steaming mug of what's likely coffee and wearing a purple hoodie over their magician's outfit. the cape is on the outside though.]
[after feeding the purple bunny, she slowly hops her way to the door marked 3C, patiently waiting for natalie. the door swings open for her and the bun and there's a chair already turned for her to sit in so she doesn't have to manuever too much. junpei's waiting for her, hat on his desk and facing the door but it shuts behind her as he frowns lightly.]
I should probably just go to you next time. Try to stay off of that for a bit.
[well. as promised, when natalie feels the need to talk to ph she'll find that wherever she is, he'll be approaching from around the corner not long after that. he's currently in his full outfit including the hat just to ensure they're alone, but there's a nod of greeting.]
[...unfortunately he can't hide from her because of a promise he made, so when she wants to seek him out she'll soon hear something approaching her, heavy footsteps of an animal before the lavender tiger settles nearby. there's a tablet in his mouth, along with a stylus pen, and he drops those in the dirt to stare at her expectantly. hi natalie.]
[wherever natalie is, she'll soon find purple heart approaching her and it's only when they're alone that he takes off his hat to reveal his face. he also has a thermos in his hand, and the other, bandaged hand is holding a small black kitten.]
[Not having to come his way is extra appreciated today. Since it's snowing, she's staying in her cabin, which means the coat she got from the clothing store is laying across her lap on the bed. There are bandages over the area right below her collarbone, over her shoulder, her hand, and her throat, and - well, the obvious arm situation she's got going on. Still, despite her own array of injuries:]
[and so not longer after she feeds the bunny, junpei will come to seek her out, appearing where she is and tucking his scarf a little tighter around his throat.]
[whenever natalie feeds the purple bunny, she'll bound away to lead natalie out toward the garden. it's morbid, sure, but she'll find him sitting in a patch of flowers with his kitten in his lap. it's probably dark out at this point, what the fuck junpei.]
