[ The video starts black. Light cuts through in sharp lines, edging in around blades of grass. No, make that fur.

Fur that gains color into browns as it shifts away from blocking the camera's eye. The rabbit hops away down the table, disappearing for a minute. Two. When it comes back in view, it appears to be wearing tiny, lens-free glasses perched precariously on its twitching nose.

The rabbit sits back on its hind legs, ears swiveling forward and paws tucking close to its chest. When it glances toward the camera, it's almost like the rabbit winks. But it couldn't have.

Could it? ]

[ YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS ]

[ She knows he's jealous of her perfect impersonation.

He just needs to admit it. ]

[ VERY FUNNY COLLETTE

HE KNOWS IT'S YOU ]

[sidecar]

I had nothing to do with this.

[For the record.]

[ex_bandai157]

Even if you didn't encourage it, it's obviously your fault.

[sidecar]

Huh?! I can't help it if people wanna act like they've never heard a nickname before!

[ The rabbit stiffens at an unexpected voice. WOAH THERE! ]

Hello there, little one. Where did you come from?

[whatsupcroc]

[ Such a nice sweet little -- the rabbit stiffens and plops down on all four legs, going stock still.

Uh. Ha. Collette realizes this wasn't the single line she thought it was. She's got an audience.

... Heh. Reaching her neck forward, she 'sniffs' at the keyboard. Hey, person she hasn't talked to before. What's up? ]

[so cute...]

Out there all alone with no one to take care of you?

[perfectionisms]

[ A bunny! Trying to suppress a smile. ]

No one told me they let people keep pets around here.

[ How many people are trolling this for bunny videos? Granted, Collette was prior to the cat video generation, and the internet basically no longer exists, so there's not precisely any attention competition with the bored.

What's fun is to recognize who's talking, and to see Franziska with an interesting expression almost on her face. Collette drops down on four feet again, reaching her neck forward and sniffing at the screen. That's for show more than necessity -- she wonders if Franziska loves fluffy animals, or bunnies in particular. ]

[ First, a quick look around the room to see if anyone was watching. Sure that she was alone, she pokes the bunny on the nose through the screen. ]

They could have gotten something useful instead. Like a dog.

[bratworth]

[ After everything else he's see here, he feels compelled to ask, despite how foolish it makes him feel: ]

Can you speak?

[bearswitness]

Just when I thought you couldn't get any stupider well done on proving me wrong.

[bratworth]

What, precisely, have I done that could possibly be considered 'stupid'?

[whatsupcroc]

[ She can, which she figures might surprise Miles if he knew. Granted, Mind Speak didn't work through video lines, but if he was in the apartment building she'd probably be able to 'talk' to him.

One ear swivels forward to focus on the speaker and the source of noise as she tries to reach him via one-way telepathic chatter. ]

< Hey Miles, can you hear me? >

video; 1/2

[bratworth]

[ He is, as a matter of fact, sitting in his room at the apartments, but when he hears that voice, he sits bolt upright, staring at the screen of his netbook with intense scrutiny. Its mouth hadn't moved; he was certain of that. ]

[bratworth]

[ When he responds, he speaks aloud, not bothering to hide his astonishment. ]

Was that - you?

[ Yes, still talking to a rabbit. This, and the others' interjections, make him feel even foolisher - if such a thing is possible. ]

[video]

[perfectionisms]

[ ... ]

Miles. Don't be absurd.

[video]

[bratworth]

I am not. The Initiative brings all manner of transports to Exsilium. There is no reason why... this rabbit... might not be another of us.

[gorillawarfare]

[ he would know that saucey wink anywhere ]

Having fun?

[whatsupcroc]

[ Watch this rabbit manage a weird little shrug. (Stranger, because rabbits are not meant to shrug.) Much like her attempt with Miles, Collette doesn't know if Marco is close enough to reach with Thought Speak, if she gives it a try anyway. ]

< More than I was intending to! >

[wrexy]

There goes dinner.

[whatsupcroc]

[ Maybe she should set Franziska and Wrex up on a date.

That could only end well.

Collette the rabbit sticks her tongue out at the screen, still sitting up and wearing those ridiculous empty-frame glasses. Her ears swivel back, giving her a distinctly disenchanted air. ]
