*date scribbled out* I'm pleased to report that Sevy has now budded and opened into a very impressive and somewhat intimidating variation of a venus flytrap! He has a very noticeable, bulbous "mouth" with rows of fangs and two other premature traps sprouting on either side of him. I've now placed him on an insectivorous diet, supplimenting with sugar water when nutrition is unavailable. .... I'm trying my best to catch flies, really. I've enclosed a picture of him. Cute lil' guy, ain't he? ~ Rabid 5th Lab technician

Dr. Amelia ((As a forward, I am taking initiative with the procedure so as to keep to the plans and order.))
___An announcement boomed over the speakers of the laboratory building. All researchers and developers were to come to the main hall immediately. The swarm of people walking through the hallways to congregate made steady noises, until the rush of clicks filled the laboratories. A low murmur was heard steadily building into the excited rush fluttering among the speakers. Queries of what it was, if things were going on. Some attendants had brought their specimens and held them in tight arms. Was someone going to be taken away? Finally everyone congregated in the hallway, until the announcer told them to file into the large social room. Everyone was quiet now, taking their seats with a nervous feeling in each of their stomaches. At the very front there was a podium set up, Assistant Natsube was no where to be seen, and the researchers whispered anxiously.
___Researcher Uenoh'ai stood up from her chair and walked to the platform, holding her posture straight and delicately gripping the sides of the stand. The anxious whispers had gradually turned into frantic chattering, and the room was booming with titters and questions. Researcher Rabid was sitting near the front, her fruiting pot in her lap. Khomi was somewhere nearby, and Logan was not there at all. Uennie checked her watch and wrote something down in a file. The people who noticed her felt as though she was waiting for something, good or bad? Gradually the silence grew from few to all, as they all resumed their seats and looked up at the person at the front of the room solemnly. Uennie smiled at them and continued to check her watch casually. A feeling of relief settled like a cool rain upon the audience, everything seemed well and in-hand.
___Renault walked into the room, looking very calm as opposed to his normal cheer and clumsiness. As he walked through the aisles, everyone fell quiet. He was the highest researcher in rank besides Natsube and the legendary Dr. Gaia. Uenoh'ai smiled at her higher officer and held her hands out to his, shaking it gently. Apprentice Natsube stepped out from a back room and took a seat behind the podium, smiling and waving at the many people there. Renault took his seat next to Natsube and she reached over, and took his hand reassuringly. Turning back to the front, Uennie cleared her throat and began to speak.
___"As we all know, Renault has been a treasured part of our research and staff for a very long time, since the beginning of the Vale. He has helped us with excellent upkeep and to always remember to smile about the importance and brilliance of our work. We have all become familiar with his specimen Mara, and her lovely zest for life-"
___As she said this, little Mara was led in by a man in a gas suit by the hand. Closely following behind was Eden, the first Vale specimen, though not very old and appearing to be younger than Mara. The people in their seats shifted uncomfortably. Why was that man in the suit? They looked at little Mara's face and some of the women burst into tears at her forlorn look. Eden seemed delightfully unawares as to what was going on, and he even began to skip slightly. Undaunted, Uenoh'ai continued her speech.
___"Renault has decided to take leave from us, and in doing so, Mara will now technically be homeless. As is typical of all Vale specimens when they do not have enough affection or care in their life, they wither, and these children die. This brings me to why Eden is also here, and it is obvious."
___The man led Mara and Eden into a glass chamber. He seemed to've told them to hold hands and step up into a tube just big enough for the both of them. Eden didn't seem to understand, but things had been explained to Mara and she smiled very bravely as she held Eden and walked in. The man in the suit reached into the tube and pulled down two respirator attachments, gently placing them onto Mara and Eden's mouths. The front to the tube zoomed closed and everyone watched as Mara comforted Eden gently.
___"Renault's pass will be deactivated immediately, and he will never be able to access his laboratory again. He is though, welcome back at the lab to visit at any time, so please feel free to say hello and smile as always." Uennie's voice seemed strained as she tried to keep her eyes off of the children. They heard Eden begin to cry, he didn't like his tube. No one could really blame him. Everyone held their specimens closer as they watched.
___"This is what happens when you leave the Vale, or neglect yours. They die, they are not little tools or items you can leave unattended. They are just like children and need loving and nuturing. No amount of fertilizer can revive them. We have developed a system which will allow us to preserve them so they do not die. This is a state of comatose, they will be completely unconcious and unaware of their surroundings. Failure to attend to this immediately will result in your specimen being revoked with no questions asked. Renault, your pass please." She held her hand out to him. He reached into his pocket and gently passed it to her. Inserting it into a small device a swipe went past it and a laser quickly flashed on the barcode. Uenoh'ai handed it back to him as she smiled at him and turned to the front, again.
___A nod from Uennie told the man to begin. Eden became frantic as a titian-coloured substance began to fill up the tube. It rose slowly, until it enveloped their bodies and they began to float. Mara held onto him, and he appeared to become very sleepy. Very soon Mara began rubbing her eyes until they both curled up with each other and fell asleep. The man pressed a button and a large flash enveloped them. When it disappeared and the spots began to fade away, he removed the capsule from the glass cubicle and gently pushed it into a hollow opening in the wall until it locked in place. Everything was still, you couldn't even see if they were breathing anymore. Suddenly an automated hole in the ground opened and the pod was rushed down underground, carrying the two specimens with it.
___"Please use this experience you have witnessed as a warning and guideline from henceforth on." Uennie said softly. Renault stood up and hugged Natsube and Uenoh'ai briefly before going down the steps of the platform. Researchers stood up and shook his hand, wishing him farewell and good luck. He left the room and went to the elevator exit. Everything was quiet, and the minute sound of him typing in his final code was heard, and the boom of bars and doorways closing in his faraway laboratory faded into the room. The doors to the elevator opened and his footsteps tapped slowly in.
___"Good-bye, Researcher Renault." The automated voice echoed, and he was gone.
Rabid Jigglypuff Rabid held her breath throughout the whole ordeal, cooly glancing at all the faces in the room behind the cover of her black shades. Her finger lightly tapped at Sevy's fanged "mouth", the plant seeming to n** at her fingernail and respond almost automatically to the touch. "Geez." She hissed when it was all said and done, her hands never leaving their protective hold on the pot in her plant. This was heavy, and all of a sudden she felt very awkward and uneasy in the crowd. The fuschia-haired woman leaned to the side and mumbled a few words to the researcher beside her before turning her gaze upwards in an emotionless stare to Researcher Uennie. Amongst the bustle, the woman rose with her pot and pushed through the crowd before disappearing.

Dr. Amelia Uennie ___Uenoh'ai walked slowly through the Laboratory, holding her ID Card beneath the several laser locks to open her desired doorways. She checked her watch and held her hands in front of herself. Her foot tapped methodically and she watched the tiles. Some had chipped slightly, and were becoming worn from the constant wear of people's strolls. As the approval ring sounded she reached forward and hit a glowing button. The whirring of working mechanics echoed in the lonely room and she waited for the elevator to veer into place. Far away in the back of her mind she heard a piano start to play. The cold steel doors opened and she stepped in. The temperature dropped immensely as they closed again, and she slid her sunglasses up on top of her head as the elevator shot down the shaft. She stood there in silence, watching her breath materialize in front of her before vanishing into the cold. A fluorescent light lit up above her head, and the doors opened. She took a step down and steadied herself on a nearby rail. ___She hated stairs, more than anything. She'd fallen down so many as a child that she had a slight phobia about them. The memory of her shins banged up and lacking a dermis made her shudder horribly. Out of all her body her legs and hands had suffered the most damage. She thanked her clumsiness and the constant issues of being thrown or scraped off of horses for the many scars. Her heels hit the metal stairs with a resounding clarity. As she slowly made her way down the single flight, she sighed with relief as she reached the ground. Her heart always slammed into her stomach when she was at the last step, as if something could go terribly wrong on that last reach down. It was silly, but something she had dealt with for a long time so it didn't exactly bother her, or not so much anymore. She made a face and steadied herself again, before walking swiftly to a control panel. The platform she was on shook, and she widened her arms to steady her body. She had forgotten that if she moved too fast the cables would break and send the entire area down into the second basement. She inched her way over to the panel and began to type, sending her fingers dancing over the keys. ___The plasma flickered and glowed a bright white before settling into the usual processing screen. She hit the enter key and a noise was heard down below, and the loud grinding of a capsule behing pushed up to the platform edge was heard. A countdown voice sounded in a monotonous baritone. The capsule door opened and two very confused Vale appeared. Reaching her hand out Uennie grasped Eden's palm and gently helped him step down. Mara looked at her with hopeful eyes and reached her hand out too, but Uennie shook her head sadly and leaned close to kiss her on the forehead gently. Mara bit her lip and nodded, pulling her hand back down to her side. Uenoh'ai sighed softly and closed the capsule door again. She reached over and hit another key, and watched as the liquid began to fill the capsule and Mara fell asleep again. With another click the machine removed the pod and rushed it back down into the freezing temperatures. The Researcher entered a code into the computer and gently picked the groggy Eden up in her arms. She carried him slowly up the stairs, checking her balance every few steps. When she reached the elevator she waved her ID Card under the scanner and initiated the lockdown. ___The low booming voice of the computer bid her farewell, and she held Eden in her arms as the doors closed around her again. He started to shiver, and she knew she couldn't blame him. She held him as close as possible and felt the elevator shake before shooting up the shaft again. She quietly thought of Mara, and began to wonder what to do with her. She paused for a moment and watched the elevator open, her head losing its dizzy feeling from the fast ride up. Mara needed a home, she couldn't stand seeing a look so sad on the face of any child, specimen or not. In the back of her mind she began to organize a way to find Mara a new Researcher. She headed into her office and wrapped Eden up in a blanket. Picking up her phone she hit the option for announcement and spoke into the mouthpiece loudly. ___"Eden has been cleared for pick-up. You will find him in my office adjacent to Laboratory Three." She set the phone down on the receiver with a clack but then picked it up again. "Also, congratulations to Kyocho and Alinedra. You have passed into Rank 2 and become our new Greenhouse Helpers!" ___Uennie set the phone down again and pulled her sunglasses back over her eyes, the adjustment from almost complete dark to light taking its toll. Eden made a soft noise and she reached into her bag lunch and handed him her thermos of soup. He sipped it delicately and she smiled and ruffled his hair affectionately, waiting for his Researcher to come pick him up. Rabid Jigglypuff Rabid turned into her seat, spinning lazily in a half-circle as she listened to the announcement. Her elbow was lazily propped up on the work counter, a pen in hand to be subconsciously chewed on. Legs were crossed daintily to completely the relaxed posture, her foot wiggling once and awhile in a bad habit. "Brought out of stasis..." She mumbled to no one in particular, her laboratory empty as usual save for herself and her 'subject' who was sitting on the table across from her, a place set like he was there for tea. Glancing up from behind black shades, she smirked to her friend in mocking jest. "Put a kid into an induced coma and then drag 'im out like he's frozen dinner." She mused on this thought in silence for a moment before all at once getting up from her seat. "You won't have to worry about that." She purred, teasing the bottom of the flytrap's 'jaw' with a claw-like fingernail. Sevy's mouth stirred, slowly opening in expectation of a treat. "You n' me, we're like Thelma and Louise." The researched plucked a pair of tweezers from a jar and wandered over to a container filled with live, buzzing house flies. Carefully removing the lid only a mere crack, she easily snatched one that had been resting at the bottom. Good thing she was handy with chopsticks. "Well... you know, without the car chase. Or cliffside. Or... lesb-Ok ok bad example." She snorted outloud and reached the tweezer's into Sevy's awaiting trap, teasing the frilly hairs inside with the fly's rapidly fluttering wings. Sure enough his mouth began to close around the snack. "Good boy." Rabid chirped and looked rather pleased as she grabbed a mug to head for a coffee break. It was late in the day and hopefully no one would be around to catch her.

Rabid Jigglypuff The laboratory was barely lit by the dim glow of a desk lamp at the far end of the room. The labtech was apparently working overtime tonight, catching up for work she failed to finish before the scheduled completion date. She had left the room momentarily, abandoning a particularly-lengthy report left scattered across the work station.
The subject of study was sitting happily in the center work table, appearing dormant and motionless in his terracotta pot. That is, until the outer leaves of the venus flytrap began to stir as if an invisible breeze passed through the room and disrupted the delicate plant. The whole room seemed to shift into a weird sort of aura, a dramatic change occurring rapidly.Rabid was returning from a smoke break, entering her lab in a distracted manner. She heard a gurgle but didn't even realize at first as she whistled and strolled to her awaiting paperwork. The 'change' that had apparently occurred would have almost gone completely unnoticed if she hadn't heard a distinct 'giggle' that was very prominant in the quiet laboratory. The fuschia-haired woman stiffened, almost afraid to turn her head. What... the hell... She almost collapsed right there and then, heart threatening to burst right out of her chest. There were eyes staring back at her, two little eyes and the widest grin plastered on a moss-coloured complexion of chubby cheeks. A mass of yellow-tinged dreadlocks in a messy pile that complimented the round, pudgy form. Her first thought? Someone left their kid in here... That idea was short-lived when the reality sunk in. It looked so familiar, like she'd seen it before in some alternate life. The green palor, the absolute delight of his expression made her almost fall in love with the infant instantaneously. Her voice was choked and caught in her throat though she fought to produce one word. "...S-....Sev...y?" Uennie ___Uennie bounced her baby on her knee gently, somehow managing to file papers, but only barely. She sighed and put Esprit over her shoulder, patting her on the back and rocking back and forth, somehow praying that would quell her cries of unhappiness. Finally she gave up and in frustration she threw her pen on the laboratory counter. The sound of cloth moving in still air and tiny footsteps tapped across the linoleum. ___"Babies don't like being neglected you know." The small faerie seated herself matter-of-factly on the edge of the table. She looked up at the human with an intense glare and bit her thumb, considering what to say next. ___"Oh shut up, Ixchel." Uenoh'ai snapped, letting out a groan as the little baby girl cried louder. She fought back the urge to shake the child and felt guilty about even considering it. "I'm not trying to neglect her. I'm trying to get my research done ..." The Researcher bit a quivering lip and snorted, gripping the pen again angrily and mashing it against the paper. ___"Hey! Watch it you moron!" The winged creature admonished, growing steadilier impatient. Uennie's frustration peaked and she added more pressure to the utensil. The pen cracked and suddenly the ink well broke, sending horrible marks across the paper to stain. ___"Hey yourself. Your name is Ixchel, so-called goddess of maternity. Help me out for Christ's sake!" The faerie stuck her nose in the air and walked away from the demanding botanist. ___"Many mothers have managed fine before you." ___"But she's not even my child!" The woman practically screamed, suddenly she realized that the baby was quiet, and looked down at her quickly. Esprit had stopped crying, but Uennie's heart plummeted at the expression on the baby's face. ___"She is your child. I reccomend making that clear to yourself before you make yet another child in the world feel unwanted." Ixchel sniffed derisively before disappearing into the flora. Uenoh'ai watched the little pudgy face, feeling her stomach sink lower and lower into her abdomen. She bit her lip, opening her arms wider and holding Esprit closer. ___"I'm sorry ... I'm sorry ..." Uennie whispered slowly. What a horrible thing to say, what a hurtful thing to say. She gently kissed Esprit on the forehead and the baby's face relaxed, seeming to say, I forgive you. The flower-topped child turned her head as she heard a corresponding noise, not unlike her own. Uenoh'ai stood up and cradled her in her bosom delicately, heading down the hallway, growing more curious with every step. "Hello?" She called, half-expecting a monster to jump out and half-expecting plain silence. Rabid Jigglypuff THe door to Rabid's lab was wide open, remnants of her frightened bolt into the hallway that had occurred early though short-lived, to see if anyone else was around. She was still in panic mode, though from what she could tell the chubby baby still sitting happily on the table was enjoying the frantic movements of his caretaker. Mother. She chastised herself mentally, trying to accept the fact that this litte.... BIG bundle of joy was her child to care for from now on. Pacing irratically back and forth, she couldn't believe she was trying to think of people who could somehow remove this burden from her. She never signed for this, her resume never stated "qualified mother" under useful skills. She wasn't mother material. In short, Rabid had as much estrogen coursing through her veins as she had change in her pocket. "This... isn't happening." She whimpered, Sevy letting out a bubbly giggle as he wriggled his toes. Exasperated, she stopped pacing and approached the table to give him a good look. Satisfied that he was real, she braced her arms against the edge as she let her head hang. "My gods..." Uennie ___Uenoh'ai felt her baby start to wriggle and tightened her hold, trying hard not to drop her. The baby let out a cry and in a panic Uennie loosened her hold, realized that she was hurting her. She stopped to adjust the child and nervously continued walking. A dim light flickered from a Laboratory down the walkway. Uennie recognized it, Rabid's Laboratory. Quietly she stepped into the doorway and looked around. She was caught off-guard as Esprit smacked her little hand right on Uennie's forehead. Seeing stars for a moment she steadied herself and turned her head to the side to cough, covering her mouth with her fist. Esprit giggled and grabbed the woman's face with a hand on each cheek. Kissing her on the nose she cupped the baby's head in her hand and walked further into the Lab. ___"Rabid?" Rabid Jigglypuff Rabid inhaled sharply as she turned her head to glance over her shoulder, almost as if to stiffle a sob though no tears were present. What the hell am I going to do? Was all she could think of over and over. She was shaking from anxiety, stomach churning as she found herself in the presence of the senior worker. Immediately feeling embarassed, she straightened herself and leaned the small of her back against the table to the side of Sevy, so that the boy was clearly visible to the visitor. "....Hey... Uennie." She managed to respond, attempting to calm her nerves. It was then that she noticed the infant in her arms. "Esprit?" She felt stupid to ask. Of course it was her, it had to be. Though she was surprised she'd remembered the "subject"'s name in the first place. Rabid smoothed back a couple of stray dreadlocks, making herself more presentable and less of a wreck. Uennie ___The Researcher offered Rabid a warm smile and walked over to the table. She gently sat Esprit down next to him, grateful to have the weight off of her arms. She clapped her hands, brushing them off at the same time and crossed her arms, leaning back against the counter. Esprit wiggled slightly and immediately tried to put her hands on Sevy's face. Uennie batted her hand away as she admonished the baby gently. The child ignored her and began to poke and prod at the other infant. Uenoh'ai sighed and looked over at Rabid, ___"You too?" She turned to look at Sevy. She just adored chubby babies. "Hello little Buddha Baby ..." She cooed at him adoringly. Rabid Jigglypuff Rabid sighed wearily and nodded, not knowing what to say. This wasn't like pregnancy. You get a head's up when you're pregrant, nine months to be exact. Seeing how relaxed and accepting Uennie was with the situation just made it that more bizzarre. "I..." She stopped and shook her head, for once looking serious and vulnerable. "This is way above my head." She laughed nervously, glancing over at new baby boy. Sevy grinned wider as he saw Uennie's form in the doorway, gurgling happily as his eyes watched her approach. His attention immediately turned to the little thing that was abruptly placed next to him, in awe of her similarity and curious to know what exactly she was. When Esprit began prodding him however, his happy exterior shifted dramatically to be replaced with a very bitter temper. "BAAAAH!" He whined and screeched, gripping her wrists to pry her hands away from him in a mini tantrum."No no!" Rabid quickly flinched, removing his chubby fingers from their grip on the little girl. "Play nice..." She unconsciously began before it dawned on her that he was.. naked. "Oh gods." She blurted out again and rushed off to a desk, rummaging through the drawers before dashing to a nearby coat hanger. Snatching up a labcoat, she returned to wrap it around the greenish child. Uennie ___"God I concur." Uennie slumped unhappily. "This whole thing is driving me damn near crazy. I mean ... I knew ... I figured ..." She trailed, not wanting to admit her ignorance to the obvious. She stomped her foot and bit her lip, punctuating her lack of glee at the situation. "I do ... I care for her." She looked over at the child who was tentatively venturing to touch Sevy's toes. She smiled, a crooked half-grin goofily taking up part of her face. She had to ask herself, who couldn't? "I'm just not ready. I thought it would be at least a year beforehand ..." ___Picking the infant up she patted her pockets, searching for something, anything, to wrap around her. She found a paper towel scrunched up in her pocket. Thankfully clean, she smoothed it out and created a makeshift loincloth, using tape she snapped from a dispenser nearby to secure it. Rabid Jigglypuff Rabid groaned in response, agreeing with everything she was saying. At least she knew there was someone else going through this now, that offered a bit of comfort. "I mean... he eats right? They eat? They're like regular babies? GODS, what do I feed a venus flytrap kid? Flies? That's sick!" The lab tech rubbed her forehead, clenching her jaw as a whine escaped. Now that the threat had been removed, Sevy looked mighty content again, reaching his arms down into the bunched fabric of the labcoat and pulling it up above his head. This amused him greatly, and soon he was giggling and weakly batting at the fabric until he managed to pull it over his head. He then turned to his 'mother', head tilted back in an attempt to see her although his view was clearly hindered. "I guess I'll be peicing together a crib tomorrow." She muttered and winced at the oncoming labor. Glancing over at the baby boy, she laughed and tickled his bellybutton. Uennie was right. Even though this was a huge kicker, she already couldn't imagine abandoning the little boy. It helped that he seemed to be a very happy baby.

April 30th, 2006 4:21am ... Just when I thought I'd seen it all. I will attempt to explain this in the most professional manner possible, despite the lunacy in it all. I have recently been entrusted with a new sort of "subject" to take care of from now on. This new change will most likely prove both challenging and different as a quirky addition to my lifestyle, although I'm still in shock. (April 30th, 2006 4:48am) My apologies, my 'ward' was demanding my attention. I need sleep. I think I'm becoming delerius. Anyways, after returning from a vigorous scientific experiment, I discovered that my Sevy had changed dramatically. No more pot of soil, the little guy was a big, pudgy baby! (You have to see him, he's quite charming! The cutest little fangs...) To say the least, I found my schedule altered overnight to include 'feedings', 'playtime', 'naptime' and other such activities. Worst yet, I think I enjoy it. Strangly enough, I've found mulching insects to be a particularly relaxing task. Ho boy. ~ Rabid 5th Lab technician

Kitara sat next to Katrina on the couch of her and her sister's home. It was somewhat small and out in the middle of nowhere, but that didn't seem to bother either of them since both liked their privacy. It was just passed lunch time and the pup was watching TV while the necromancer read a book beside her. Rabid had mentioned something about bringing Sevy home telepathically a little while ago and today was supposed to be the day... but other then that, she had been given very little detail.
Crimson gaze went over to the door as she heard her sibling approaching. "Auntie is home." She said quietly, Katrina turning to look at the door as well.

Heavy footsteps could be heard as Rabid climbed onto the front porch of their little cottage house, obviously hindered, her movements were a lot noiser than usual. Thank the skies the door was unlocked because her hands were apparently VERY full.
"Tadaima." She sighed heavily as she swung the door open though was barely able to keep it open halfway as she stopped to awkwardly drag in an armful of stuffed duffel bags. Her other arm was occupied by a large bundle of dark green blanket. "Gimme a hand?" The odd request was rather out of character for the demoness who normally preferred to do things herself, but in truth she was really too tired to bother keeping an air of egotistical defiance towards her burden.

Kitara's ears perked and she marked her spot in the book before setting it aside. "Sure. What's all this?" Standing, she walked over and took all of the dufflebags from Rabid's grasp. Unlike her, she didn't know what fatique was.
Her ears perked as she looked up at the bundle. Even the child sitting on the couch seemed rather interested and scampered over. "Hi auntie! Who's that?" She inquired, tail wagging behind her. It smelled very familiar...

"Thanks luv." The demoness mumbled a thanks to her sibling and flexed the digits in her other arm to relieve the annoying cramps. "Hi sweetie!" Rabid tiredly greeted her pup neice as she moved towards the fireplace to plop down on an area rug. "It's your cousin Sevy. He's coming home to live with us." She didn't have the will to put more effort into explaining, resting the bundle in her lap while grappling for a duffel bag. "Uhuuu..." She whined immaturely when she couldn't reach the bottle poking out of it.
A whimper came from the bundle in Rabid's lap, the precious cargo seeming to just wake up from a long nap. A chubby green arm reached out sleepily, reaching out for a fuschia dreadlock that had accidently brushed his cheek.

"Sevy?" Katrina followed her aunt, plopping down beside her as she watched a pudgy green hand reach out. Her ears perked. "He grew up too!" She grinned, last she had seen him he was still a plant!
"Here." The reaper handed her the bottle and set down the dufflebags inside the door for now. "So that's Sevy?" She took a seat in one of the armchairs next to her, the fireplace having gone dull now that it was summertime. "I guess by the looks of it he's staying here now." She smiled, the thought of seeing both of them around more making her rather happy.

Rabid smiled, sitting the bundle up and pulling down the sides of the blanket to expose the pudgy baby inside. "Yup! Grew into a very, very, big boy." She snickered and gladly accepted the bottle, shaking it lightly to stir the contents. "I'll be so glad when he grows teeth and starts feeding and changing himself." She muttered under her breath, looking at Kitara with an annoyed look.
"Baaa-ba!" Sevy gurgled, playing with the buttons on his blue shirt. He knew food was coming, no need to be fussy like he'd seen other babies act back at the labs. Eventually his short attention span changing his focus to Katrina's hat which he tried to reach for with a fangy grin.

Kitara laughed slightly. "I dunno, I always enjoy careing for little babies." It didn't take a genious to figure out why, especially when they knew of her past as much as the chaos demon did. Leaning over, she wiggled a clawed finger over Sevy.
The canine blinked and then reached for her ushanka with both hands. "You like my hat? You can wear it after your done eating. Lidiya says not to get it dirty."

"EeeYAAaaa" Sevy echoed, waving his chubby fingers at the hat as the black pup motioned to it. He then squealed in delight at Kitara's wriggling 'toy', going for that target next.
"You would." She muttered a retort though her expression showed she was joking. "Doooown the hatch!" The demoness swayed the prepped bottle and aimed it at Sevy, who engulfed and immediately began suckling like he hadn't seen food in a week.
"You know how annoying it is to prepare this cr-stuff?" Rabid shook her head, gesturing to the bottle that was permanently attached to the baby (at least until it'd run dry). "So what did you do today, Kit-Kat?" She didn't want to make it look like she'd ignore the other child now that a new baby was in the house.

The demoness smirked. "Prepare his food? What does he eat, exactly? He's a plant afterall..." She trailed off, watching the chubby baby devour his food. Her daughter had acted the same way... would Sevy be chubby like her too? She kind of hoped so... maybe then she wouldn't feel so alone when she got older and realized she was bigger then most children her age.
"I played DDR and watched some TV after lunch." Katrina said with a grin as she watched the chubby baby with a lot of interest. "Can I play with him after he's done eating?"

Rabid shrugged, looking almost hesitant to devulge the mystery of what exactly the buddha baby was eating. "Well," She slowly began, trying to sound professional. It made the description sound less gruesome. "As he is of venus flytrap origin and they are insectivorous AND a baby at the same time, I'm forced to prepare a homogenous concoction of formula, vitamins and well, uh... protein... solids."
Sevy obliviously sucked down the contents of his bottle, wriggling his chubby fingers infront of his face while the other hand helped keep his bottle suspended. "Mmph." He grunted once and awhile, bright eyes following each face of the three that surrounded him.
"That's the life." She commented to Katrina, moving on to a different subject. She wished she didn't have to work at the labs every day or keep her shops running smoothly, much preferring to stay home and play DDR too. "Sure you can. He's almost done too." The remark was made as the demoness peered wonderously at the bottle bag that was in the process of being squeezed dry. "What did YOU do today, mummy?" Rabid smirked mischeviously at her sibling.
