After discussing with @Carpdime , I decided to have Avocado spend some time with his owners parents. The decision was a little bit motivatedby his depiction at East Side Day Care, during Halloween and Christmas. . Of course, Avocado will return to his owner, but I felt that sending Avo to a daycare far from his owner would be a better setup for the next few chapters.
Some notes:
- I decided to reference some art by other artists this time round. The Foxhoarder image was the best example I could think of fluffies potentially learning from cartoons. A discerning reader may get the MLP episode referenced in this chapter.
- I am going with the idea that fluffspeak is a language unto itself, an idea which I explored in “Wan Pway?” and its lore piece. However, and within the canon for this series, the PETA raid never happened.
- this marks the first appearance of Carpdime’s other OC, Blueberry. He, as well as Buttercup, will appear in the next few chapters.
- in case I have to spell it out, there is no bioprinter.
