[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.]

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!

[Ugh dogs. Bunny tries not to visibly flinch and fails.]

...No. I'm sure she wouldn't.

[After so much whining, Alice settles Koyuki down, followed by a gentle pat on her head. The little dog patters out of view. For now. We're good up until there's more of a ruckus.]

I'm very certain!

[Yeah, she saw that flinch.]

You know how puppies can be -- just be extra careful not to draw her curiosity.

...Don't you worry about that, I've got no plans of doing that ever.

I'm glad to hear that.

[Alice's attention diverts over to her side.]

Koyuki?

[digophelia]

Koyu-

[Alice suddenly bolts up, sprinting away from sight. Koyuki has conveniently made her way out sight, out of the room Alice resided and is pattering her way towards Bunny. Alice nearly faceplants upon getting up after her.]

[digophelia]

[And there she goes, down the stairs, far too eager to be out of Alice's grasp with Alice nearly falling to catch her as she calls out-]

NO! KOYUKI, COME BACK!

[The bitty thing can run, but look! She looks so happy to see him!]

forever!!!

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Bunny shrieks like a tiny little girl and back-pedals into the nearest corner.]

Bloody hell, it's a dingo!!!

[digophelia]

[That's... that's really awkward and only rouses the little dog to joyfully leap up at him. All the little dog wants to do is to play! Koyuki doesn't really understand why the giant rabbit is terrified. Alice finally scampers over.

Maybe later she'll find this hilarious, but right at the moment, she feels terrible.]

Koyuki, stop that! Leave him alone! He doesn't want to play with you!

[And here Alice was sure that she'd be afraid of a giant rabbit. Apparently not.]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[He'll just stand in the corner and try and fail to maintain some dignity.]

Yeah, too right. I'm not a chew toy.

[digophelia]

[And failing.

Alice feels too terrible enough as it is with her dog cornering him. She finally gets to her, scooping her up, clutching the squirming puppy to her so that she doesn't escape her arms.]

I'm so sorry! It... it looks I was a bit wrong!

[Sheepish panic.]

I'll keep her away. I'm very sorry, I didn't mean for this to happen.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[He'll clear his throat, pulling himself up to his feet properly, brushing off his fur in attempted nonchalance.]

No worries, I'm not bothered at all.

[digophelia]

[She's about to take Koyuki away and back upstairs, even as she seems to lick Alice's cheek apologetically. She feels terrible, but it's still very funny.]

Of course.

[And that...

That was a laugh. And Alice hasn't laughed in years.]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[The laugh at least, is very much welcomed, and makes his whole dog encounter well worth it. He chuckles himself.]

Of course.

[digophelia]

[Only mildly embarrassing. Alice even feels bad she laughed at him at the first place.]

Excuse me, I think I'll put her back and have a talk with her how inappropriate it is to jump on friends!

[Yes, she talks to this dog like a person, but who cares. Alice is just going to duck out now.]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Well, it's an important thing to learn.

[Yes, good, do it.]
