[Don't bother on wondering what's wrong with the bracelets today, travelers, because there's actually nothing wrong with them. The image is upside down because Jack is the one lying down like that, skinny legs resting on the back of the couch, his head almost touching the floor and making his hair spike in more directions than usual.

His question for the network sounds rather mundane and boring, especially for someone like Jack, but there's a grin on his face that shows there's more to it than it looks. Remember: never trust a prankster.]

Soooo. Pets are popular around here, right? Then tell me, what do you do when hair starts getting everywhere? [He pokes one of the cushions on the couch with his staff, and it's obvious he's exaggerating his story a little.] Extra points if it's rabbit fur you have tips for. Though I kinda doubt it because what I'm always seeing in the network is...

[His eyes widen.]

...dogs.

[And so does his grin. There's "mischief" written all over his expression. At times like this, Jack manages to look like the annoying teenager he died as.]

Geez, there's really have a huge amount of dogs around, isn't it? Do you guys think maybe I could borrow them from you? Rent them? Just for a day. It's for a little... experiment.

[Jack might just be vanishing very quickly off the screen, as if something very large has just grabbed him by his skinny ankles and hoisted him skywards. A gruff Aussie accent identifies the culprit of aforementioned Jacknabbing.]

NO! I don't want no bloody dingos running about the place. They're unhygienic. [And this has nothing to do with the fact he's petrified of them, nope.]

Hey! What are you-- [A snort.] Awww, it's our dear kangaroo jealous? Don't worry, Cottontail, your fur will forever be the only one in our--

[Jack can't finish because he's suddenly being shaken, and the feed ends... but not without showing a giant furry creature doing the shaking first.

Another normal day in the Guardians' home, yup.]

Well, that's not very nice. And I don't think Koyuki would be just as startled of him as much as he be of her.

[For the the most part? Alice's expression is akin to this:

[Such a spoilsport, Alice.]

But you can't know until you try, right?

She's just a puppy; I'm not even sure how she would react or if it would be a wise idea.

[Hey, you should know by now the Alices have a fondness for rabbits.]

[That doesn't mean he has to like it!]

Weeeeell, hasn't she played with other animals before? In the park maybe? Maybe she's passed the eight legs test.

No, she hasn't. And what, pray tell, do you mean by "eight legs" test?

You haven't seen the horses in the park? Big guys with eight legs. After them, the Easter Bunny isn't that big of a deal.

[Ok, he can be, but don't try to fight Jack's bullshitting logic here.]

[Of course Alice is.]

An actual horse or Slepnir?

A bunch of horses. Many of them, I think some even pull carriages.

I do hope you realize she is smaller than most dogs, even as a puppy. I don't want to startle her.

I do, that's why I asked. Guess that's a not to ever taking her to the park.

[The look she gives him could be a mixture of a pout and a glare. She's always been expressive; regardless, it's a look that screams "don't mess". Alice puffs up.]

If I ever do, it'll be when there are less distractions and people to bother her. Not only for her, but for me as well. That being said, I am not going to torment poor Bunny with a dog.

[DO YOUR OWN DIRTY WORK.]

[He isn't bothered by it, in fact he's used to that kind of look. Life of a prankster.]

If she's really that small I doubt she can do much tormenting anyway. [But suddenly he gets a bit more serious.] You should take her to crowded, loud places though. To make her used to it. Too much stuff happens in the city and she should be ready.

[He's seen too many animals caught up in humans' bullshit, sadly.]

I know.

[Which is to say that Alice has to adjust to that as much as her dog. She's not very fond of crowded places; it's difficult to balance that with a few episodes that involve her blacking out and wandering off. Alice looks visibly uncomfortable just thinking about it -- she won't openly admit it, however.]

Once I feel better.

[Or you know, sound of mind.]

[Just gonna...butt in here.]

Don't do it, I don't like dogs.

I most certainly would not! She could be afraid of you, no offense, of course.

Too right. I'm a big fearsome creature, me. [Big and fearsome. HEAR THAT DOGS EVERYWHERE?!!!]

Maybe to a small puppy. But not at all, not in all actuality.

[Alice WHY.]

...I'm fearsome.

[Because to her, he's far less intimidating compared to how her white rabbit looks nowadays. He's getting her to smirk, just a little.]

Then I'll keep you away from Koyuki; I don't want her frightened.

[The said puppy is sprawled out on her lap, sleeping away.]

[Welp. He sure can't compete with that.]

There you go, and there won't be any need for a ruckus.

If you manage to stay a bit more quiet, then perhaps.

[The little dog slightly kicks her hind legs in her sleep.]

Don't know what you're talking about, I'm ad quiet as anything.

[Ha. Ha.]

If you're going to keep it up down there, you'll wake her up. As darling as she is, she does have quite a bark on her.

[Meaning it can be a tad obnoxious.]

...Really. [Was that some baulking on the rabbit's part? Never.]

Yes. She has quite the set of vocal chords on her for something so small.

[She says this while scooping up the little dog, cradling her in her arms. Of course, only a small dog and little Alice are going to get big Alice's affection.]

But don't worry, I'm sure she won't do anything to you!
