Quote:
Snowbunnies (1) : Winter seems to bring out the cutest of all rodents; this isn’t the first time that small, white rabbits have infested Destiny City. They’re small, rarely larger than a guinea pig, and have large eyes and wiggling noses. They are always pure white and seem to show up whenever there’s snow. They aren't menacing or evil, they're just everywhere. They seem strangely domesticated; they are sweet, curious, and friendly creatures that will eat anything you give them. They always seem cold to the touch, and when they shake, little snowflakes sprinkle off of them.
While they seem to be social creatures who seem to appreciate anything warm and will cuddle up to steal body heat, they are too skittish and fast to be kept for pets. They can show up just about anywhere, either alone or--often--in pairs. They tend to wander off on their own without any trouble, but if you surprise them or try to catch or hurt them, they may bite. Their little teeth are enough to break skin, but after one bite they run away. The bite itself isn’t bad, but the effects are a bit unpleasant: for roughly two days after the bite, the injury is cold and the victim will feel random, cold, shooting pains. Their core body temperature will drop and they will often be sent into random fits of shivering. No medicine seems to help, and no amount of blankets or hot baths can soothe the chill. You're just going to have to deal with it and hope it gets better…
Most experiences with the bunnies are perfectly pleasant, you just have to worry about them burrowing. There are holes peppering Destiny City, and with the fresh fallen snow it can be impossible to tell where they are hiding. The holes range from small holes to several feet deep, so can be a minor inconvenience to a potential hazard. On the bright side, sometimes you wind up covered in bunnies looking for warmth from their sudden guest. On the other hand, there are a rising number of trips to the hospital for twists and sprains. The bunnies always leave with the snow, so best to enjoy them--or avoid them--for as long as you can.

Never joke with rabbits about turning them into free dinner for your pet snake, even when they're cozying up to you on the way back from your workplace. Hanako was never a huge fan of animals, really. They were far too unpredictable and overly hyped. But being an owner to a pet snake, he wasn't about to push one away if one seemed particularly clingy when he was resting on a park bench. He first allowed the creature to share some warmth, and then he did the thing that got him in trouble most of the time. He opened his mouth. Joking about trapping it as free dinner for Cu Sith. Whether or not the bunny has a genuine change of heart, or he could feel the mocking intentions from Hanako - it decided to repay Hanako's short lived kindness by biting him before scuttering away.
Thankfully, it was just the smallest bite - hardly anything to look closely at. He decided to just wash it at the sink once he got home and called it a day.
Except it wasnt that easy. After every hour it seemed like his body was cooperating less and less. He was wearing thicker jackets indoors, wearing things from gloves to socks as if the heater in the apartment wasn't working. He took a hot shower, but that hardly helped anything. He feels like eye stinging and consitently shivering. Taking refuge under the blankets in his room. Not having energy to even close the door or picking up his phone from the kitchen counter.
Once Jack comes homes, all he could see in Hanako's room if he had turned on the lights is a Hanako. All bundled up in jackets, socks and gloves, under a sheet of blanket. Shivering, his nose and cheeks red as if he had been out in the cold for too long. His eyes closed as if he was trying to sleep, but was too uncomfortable to do so.
