@serpentsexile asked for skrunkle sunnydrop

··ᴏʜ ﹣ ʜᴏ ﹗ ᴀ ɴᴇᴡ ғʀɪᴇɴᴅ ﹖ but aren't you a little old for the daycare? -- around here we even make the adults slide into fun. you can't make a mess in the ball pit."

“are you testing the limits of my patience with you?” Daycare attendant :0 they're just trying to replace an overhead light.

🍭 @lunarscaled !

"WHAT? n-no! i'm just worried. i can't have you turn the lights off. DIDN'T ANYONE TELL YOU? there's only one rule in the daycare, &. that's that the lights stay on! if you must turn them off, you need to put me in safe-mode." there's a pained noise to follow, frustration apparent despite the ever smiling face. the daycare attendant has extended itself into the sky on their string. its harlequin jaunt slightly dampened in the hands sliding down his face, while tall legs mimic a swimming motion. hovering next to the other. "maybe if you listened to me, we wouldn't be having these problems! it will be much easier for everyone, if you LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON!"

🥤- from mandy to sun :) he's giving puppy eyes

Send "🥤" to feed my muse a Grimace Milkshake!

"𝐨𝐡𝐡𝐡, 𝐚 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐤𝐞! how fun! ho, is that blueberry? --- thank you so much! ----- but where's yours? we can drink them all night, & go up to my secret room..." his head rotates, cutely. how did sun drink the grimace shake? nobody knows. much like his fizzy-faz. however it's not long 'til sun drops the milkshake, with A SCREECH in fear of the mess.

moon shows up promptly, fingers wiggling as he hops to & fro, over the blue puddle. "naughty boy.. he knows better than to give sunny-boy too much sugar.. [...]

he may not know what might happen -- but we do."

" all i asked was how does it go? " ( mandy to sun ! )

@lilsinss / inquired

"hah! how did it go?" sun shrieks, leaping from the security desk. his gangling arms struggling to cling about his shoulders, as he forces the technician to hold him bridal style within his wingspan.

his ultra-flexible legs curl upward, & effectively in on himself. "oh, we can play a guessing game! can you guess how it went? I BET YOU CAN'T! i know, i'll make it multiple choice! oh this is so much fun --" he pauses. his legs idly swinging, in a natural state of sway for sundrop. in that it works to calm him down amidst all the chaos he's experiencing. his gloved hands balled up in mandy's shirt. "so was it bad, horrible, awful, second rate, or downright dreadful?"

sun's typical stance has bells chiming with back &. forth movements on the balls of his feet. six foot stature lowered with the soft, charming sway of his head &. upper body. sun regards the employee happily, however of course a moment of scanning post-excitement would have filled in that blank for him.

working in the daycare, sun &. moon must know what adults are authorized to be inside of the area. especially amongst so many vulnerable children. to not would be a good way to invite lawsuits, should the wrong person get in &. a child get hurt. oh no, they couldn't let that happen. not in the daycare! either way, boundless energy is barely contained despite the programmed ability to listen attentively.

"aren't we already modeled after a snack?" it's nothing they aren't used to. their gift-shop sells anything you might think of with either he or moony's face printed on it. plush toys, sundrop &. moondrop candy! the alertness, &. sleepy-time candy for kids!? [...] it only takes a moment for their interest to be directed at the other presented option. "oh! what color pattern would it be? blue? oh, i love blue. such a fun color, &. oh! - it doesn't always have to be so sad!" he does a soft little hop on his feet, extended by the string he's anchored by. one that gives him the quick ability to make his way across the daycare.
