Okay, so... I guess this is on now? Is that what the... damn it.

[Someone sounds Very Tired right now. She has had a really long week and it looks like it's getting longer as she speaks.] Is there anyone part of the Hargreeves family out there? [She pauses, apparently not quite understanding that she's still recording and people can't respond yet, before she heaves a sigh.] Yeah, I figured.

Is there anyone out there at all, or am I just talking to myself?

[Maybe she's officially snapped. Or maybe she died and this is hell. Either one tracks with the week she's had.]

Because I am talking to a block of plastic and I'm feeling pretty ridiculous right now.

didn't celebrate holidays???

[Bunny is both in a hurry and learning how to communicate over text WITH INFLECTION from studying The Youths so this is all she gets for now.]

It was fine, really! We had an evening off every year for our birthday.

[...Maybe she shouldn't have sent that text. That sounds really bad.]

What I mean is that my father was a big believer in education.

[...This sounds marginally better so she's sticking with it.]

I'll make it up to you. It's just going to take a few more days. Cacao's still drying.

What no don't worry you don't need to worry about making anything up to me. You didn't do the scheduling in my house.

[Oh no she upset the Easter Bunny

She feels like this is against the law somehow.]

Thats beside the point. I took an oath. What's your name, and besides chocolate, what's your favorite flavor?

If you got a favorite fruit I can make that happen faster.

There's an Easter Bunny oath?

[She is so bewildered, but she feels like she owes it to the Easter Bunny to roll with it because she seems to have upset him(?).]

My name is Vanya and my favorite fruit is raspberries. I like strawberries too if there aren't any raspberries.

Wait is this a legal name thing? Do you need the name on my birth certificate or something?

[Help she doesn’t know how Easter Bunnies work]

It's a long story.

[and a longer process to figure out which room is hers, but after a process of asking around and elimination, Bunny figures out which room is most likely the new gal's. Outside that room he leaves a hand-woven dry grass basket of mostly raspberries but also wild strawberries, with a dry blade of long grass woven into the shape of her name set atop the fruit, plus two grass bunnies holding up the words 'you're berry special.']

[onlyordinary]

[When Vanya finds the basket, she makes an involuntary noise that sounds like a cross between an 'aww' and choking. The Easter Bunny (probably) has no way of knowing how much being called 'special' means to her, even if they don't really know each other. It presses on that tender underbelly of all her childhood issues and it makes her eyes water.

She picks up the berry basket, looking side to side to see if the bunny is around, but she doesn't see anyone. She smiles at the little bunnies, eyes warming at how cute they are before she pops a raspberry in her mouth.]

Oh wow, these are good! [She smiles before peeking awkwardly in both directions of the hall.] Thank you!

[She's not sure if he's still around to hear her, but she retreats to her room anyway after popping another berry in her mouth and picking up her violin. If he's around, she'd like to play a song for him. Probably something kids would like. Do Easter Bunnies consume children's media?

Well, it's worth a shot. She plays a medley she wrote for fun and gigs a while ago. Something sweet and soothing.]
