Rabbit & Alyss' Bedroom (of love)

[malfunctionbot]

Welcome to the room of organized chaos.

Alyss and Rabbit share one of the larger rooms in the Victorian-style Walter house - being the oldest son it is obviously the robot's right to take the second-best room in the house - on the second floor, right next to Peter's room.

The room itself never looks quite as nice as depicted in the picture because Rabbit is a slightly messy individual and Alyss doesn't mind his untidiness in the slightest. Which means there is no one to really clean it. Though most of their clothes make it to be neatly hung away in the closet, there will always be at least one or two various pairs of boots and gloves left laying around, a belt here or there, and the woman's collection of stuffed animals all over.

..And really, knowing them, that chandelier probably makes as an impromptu hanger at various points as well.

There is a nice window seat for Alyss to sit in and enjoy the sunshine on days with good weather or simply to listen to Rabbit yap on forever like he does, and Lil' Bunny's cardboard box bed is perched there usually too.

Both the robot and his lady can usually be found outside of their room, enjoying the family's company or simply out on the town, but they can be caught there in the mornings or late evenings generally, unless Rabbit is being a grump and sneaking off to hide elsewhere for a few hours or Alyss has disappeared from the grounds completely to do her own thing.

Current Pet Count: Mocha Road, Lil' Bunny, TomatoSoup, Macaroni, Cheese, BananaBread, TunaMelt, Captain QuackBeard, Fuzzybuttkins, and Bob.

"Mocha Road," re-peating the name, of course, as she settled where she was, "I think it is, and he'll adore the name I'm sure."

Borogove likely would, given the sort of personality the creature was developing. He would make a wonderful pet, and when the time came a loyal guardian. She simply had to make sure he remembered who all was going to be under his protection, other than herself.

"Would you like to help me take him for a walk? I'm sure he'd be able to carry your weight," what was she talking about now?

[malfunctionbot]

A pause at that, Rabbit believing for a minute that he was completely mishearing the woman because she couldn't possibly be implying what he was thinking.

"Ehh, wh-what was that? Carry my weight?"

[wishforaneye]

Alyss nodded, "Yep! He'd likely take off at a run, and neither of us would be able to keep up with him. He's large and strong enough to be ridden, even by you."

She was implying what he was thinking.

[malfunctionbot]

What kind of magical heaven was this?

"Ya-ya-ya mean I can ride him? L-like a horse or a bike or somethin'? Really?" A nervous twitch of fingers against her side, cause really, it sounded like a joke, no matter how big the creature was.

"I ain't gonna hurt him?"

[wishforaneye]

"Really, and you won't hurt him at all. I promise," She rested hands on either side of Rabbit's face, thumbs rested just near his jaw, "His breed is very strong and durable. You'd be as light to him as I am."

A little kiss to his chin-

"You can always ask him to be sure, he does understand."

[malfunctionbot]

As much as Rabbit appreciated and enjoyed these moments of closeness with his darling, the prospect of a dog large enough for him to ride must have been too great. In a flash the 'bot was up beside the bed, hefting Alyss over his shoulder playfully before clanking down the stairs and out of the house.

There was an adventure to be had!

[wishforaneye]

All of it had Alyss laughing again, hanging onto him with a squeal of utter delight. This was one of the many reasons she so loved Rabbit, after all. It was hardly ever boring when he was around.

The borogove would of course rush to greet the both of them, bounding around from one side of the house as if the Chain truly was just a very odd and large dog.

Adventure time!

[malfunctionbot]

"H-h-hey there, boy!" Of course Rabbit was greeting the borogove with an enthusiastic petting and nuzzling and just generally affectionate lovin' with Alyss still held there to his shoulder, keeping her trapped and secure. His prisoner, for now.

"What a good d-doggie!" Yep, a kiss to that snout, puppy. "An' we gotta n-nice name for ya too! Yer gonna be our lil' Mocha Road!" Best flippin' name in history.

[wishforaneye]

Borogove sat it's big butt down in a plant where it was, nuzzling and making rumbling whiney sounds as that long fluffy tail wagged about. Yes, yes it very much liked this strange being, huffing a little against his chest.

Alyss was flat out amused, not at all minding being kept on his shoulder, getting a bit of a ruffly ear scritching petting in on the newly dubbed Mocha Road, "I think he likes the name."

With the way he was nuzzling Rabbit after hearing the name? She very well may have been right.

[malfunctionbot]

After that waggy, happy greeting, Rabbit was giving the giant creature a look over with his glowing photoreceptors, peeking over his shoulder to Alyss.

"So... j-just hop on?" A glance back to the 'dog'. "Ya gonna be okay with that, Mocha Road? Can we g-go for a ride?"

[wishforaneye]

"Sort of-" Borogove gave an odd sound that was similiar to a murring sort of sound, turning around in place before lowering down onto it's belly, nose bumping lightly against Rabbit's torso. Those large and faintly glowing eyes staring up at him, head tilted as if inviting him to climb on.

"He's a very smart and clever thing, isn't he?"

[malfunctionbot]

It was a little eerie - Rabbit had never thought most animals were very intelligent after all, not when they ran into the road regularly and nearly got hit by cars (ignoring how many times that had happened to himself) - but maybe Alyss had just managed to pick up a pet that had a bit of common sense and could understand his owners a bit better.

"Smarter than my old kitty c-cat even." Okay, so he hadn't actually been Rabbit's exactly, but close enough. Family had to share these things.

So Alyss was gently plopped onto that broad back before Rabbit gave the creature another tentative look. It did look sturdy and strong (not to mention giant), but it was only natural that there was a bit of hesitation there. Still, wouldn't hurt to try as long as the 'bot didn't put the entirety of his weight upon the creature, settling in behind the woman carefully, feet still planted on the ground.

[wishforaneye]

She curled her fingers into the long fur as she settled there on Mocha Road's back, petting a little idily as the borogove was very still as he waited. Chains were oddly intelligent creatures, some even measuring up to humans in intelligence. It varied from Chain to Chain, really; how strong it was or if it was just a mindless thing driven only by hunger.

Alyss would just have to wait and see how borogove developed.

"You may be able to teach him some tricks, and you might want to hang on," as soon as Rabbit settled the creature rose up easily, as if neither of them were on it's back. He was still, just to make sure they wouldn't fall once he was off the ground. That large head even turned to peer back at its passengers, ears perked.

[malfunctionbot]

It was certainly a different experience to find himself and those heavy feet of his being lifted into the air out of his own control, Rabbit settling in behind Alyss, wrapping an arm around her to reach for that furry mane for some hold to keep himself from falling over backwards.

"Tricks," the 'bot repeated with an excited grin over at the creature peeking back at him. The gears of his mind already turning at the thought, compiling a list of tricks they'd have to practice.

"Havin' a d-d-dog is gonna be a real blast, huh?"

[wishforaneye]

"It is," smiling as she stroked over one of those large black furry ears while the creature's head was still turned, "and I'm glad Mister Peter said he could stay."

The borogove took a few steps without prompt, slow and careful just to see how his passengers would hold; if they were sitting fine. It was just a few steps, testingly.

"He'll get going when you say you're ready Rabbit, I think."

[malfunctionbot]

Really, Rabbit hadn't a single doubt that his Pappy was going to let him keep the dog, despite how often the man had declined his request in the past. For one, the 'bot was a hundred and sixteen years older than he'd been. Two, if he could keep a proper, real relationship with a human woman, it only made sense he could keep a dog. Right?

And, of course, the copper automaton's recent death had to add a bit to the final persuasion. How could Pappy say no to his boy after he'd thought he'd lost him for good?

There was a scruffing pet to that mane of fur before Rabbit was urging the creature forward. "Let's g-g-go! Yip yip! Tally ho! Onward! T' adventure!"

[wishforaneye]

Better hold on tight, Rabbit, as at that prompting the borogove started off and gained enough speed to jump the fence.

Alyss held onto the fur tighter, giving a bit of a laugh, "I told you he could hold the both of us without any problem!" because really, the creature was going on rather smoothly and going in the first direction that he didn't smell too many people in at the moment.

[malfunctionbot]

Oh, he was. Not a single worry needed to be given for the copper automaton, who was a bit taken back by that leap and how his own weight didn't seem to add any stress to the creature's capabilities as they were off, trotting down the street.

Rabbit was holding on with both hands now, both encased around Alyss who he had leaned forward to rest his head against for a better view as well. And really, how could he not laugh along with her. "G-guess ya were right! Lookit him go!"

[wishforaneye]

"This is the best way to walk him," she smiled, fingers still gripped into that shaggy black fur of the beast, "and he does follow directions nicely once he knows what to do."

At the moment the borogove was happily trotting along, tail swishing about and a fun little bounce to it's stepping along. Head held low as that nose went to work in sniffing about; familiarizing itself with the smells it would be living around. All of this was so very new to him, of course, having spent most of the time in the marsh untill now-

Even then, the time in the marsh wasn't all that long.

[malfunctionbot]

Rabbit didn't even question how Alyss knew so much about the creature when she couldn't have known him five minutes longer than he had, simply going along with everything that she had to say, gripping tightly onto the 'dog' as they continued on forward, giggling a bit along the way.

"We'll j-j-just hafta get him a collar." A pause, glancing downwards. "I dunno, an' maybe a saddle or somethin'."

[wishforaneye]

For the moment borogove was just going wherever his nose took him.

Alyss hummed a little thoughtfully, stroking down part of the neck she could easily reach. "We might be able to get a collar at one of those shops that sell all of those things made of leather," or ask for a collar to be made, "Do they make saddles for dogs?"

[malfunctionbot]

"I dunno. Can't r-really say I've ever seen anyone else have a dog breed like ours or even anywhere as big, b-but then again, even if there were, m-most people ain't as adventurous as the two o' us. They'd probably pick up a leash an' just walk 'im."

Gross. How dull.

"But we m-manage just fine without a saddle," a soft nudge of his face against hers at that. "R-r-right? Ain't goin' anywhere?"

[wishforaneye]

They do make those tiny saddles for dogs so that the monkies can ride on them, but that's an entirely different matter all together.

"We do," it brought a smile, along with a quick little kiss to his cheek, "Not going anywhere at all." Even as borogove picked up the pace from catching a particular interesting scent, heading off around a street corner with them

[malfunctionbot]

An entirely different matter altogether, but something Rabbit would take great interest in seeing!

And of course she wasn't going anywhere, because between her own grip, there was also Rabbit's powerful arounds keeping the woman from being yanked or shook around too much, though the beast did have quite the steady gait considering his passengers.

"Caught a n-n-nice scent there, boy?"

[wishforaneye]

Well, maybe one day when the weather is warmer someone who owns a few monkies and dogs will be putting on a show with them. Busking, with monkies riding dogs with little saddles in different patterns. Or something.

She wasn't at all worried about falling off herself; she could float after all, it was Rabbit she was more worried about. With how smoothly the borogove moved, perhaps it wasn't that big of a worry as it had been when they first started off, "He's not been in the city before now."

He looked to be heading towards the park in a round about way.
