Mint!

obsessed with ice cream hdg RP blog (ran by a 23 year old) mint isn't my favourite flavour but i really like the name used to be „ice-cream-terran“, but since i am no longer terran on file i'm now „ice-cream-cutie“ but um now i'm also a floret so i'm „ice-cream-floret“

[ice-cream-floret]

hi!

i'm Mint, pronouns? no thank you (2nd person pronouns are still fine though),

i'm really passionate about ice cream, like it's kinda my favourite thing and a world without ice cream would be a terrible world to me.

i am currently at the doctor's combination vet clinic, hab unit, ice cream parlour and miss ch'ko rest and relaxation joint!

and don't tell the doctor *whispers* i am getting my very own secret sweet treat command center inside here!

i am not a floret and i think i'm okay without a neck friend

um if you have any questions about me or ice cream feel free to send me a private message or ask or reblog one of my posts

i'm officially „mostly ice cream, 100% sweet“ now, so asking me about ice cream can also mean asking about me c:

used to be „ice-cream-terran“, but since i am no longer terran on file i'm now @ice-cream-cutie

[ice-cream-floret]

um some of this is outdated now

like um for example i um uh um uh um um um um um um um um um s-signed um a um domesticationcontract >///////////////////////////////////////////////<

also i'm refrigerated! like ice cream!!! that's so cool!!!

also i have my own ice cream parlour now that's located at @hot-doctor-pepper's veterinary clinic and i live here now!

Capsica finishes the last of the safety and supply checks of her ship, cuddling her two florets the whole time. She sets the pair down gently on the bridge/dining room/observation bay, and gets on the ship-wide intercom.

“All passengers this is your Captain Doctor Affini speaking. We will be departing the Zealand in one minute for our Solar Tour and Vacation to scenic Terra. We will be waving goodbye to the Zealand before warp here on the Bridge, and cake and Ice Cream will be served at our first destination: Exoplanet Construction Zone 437, future location of the yet-unnamed Ice Cream Dwarf Planet.”

[ice-cream-kitten]

[cuddles onto you while you speak to mama capsica]

I’m so excited to see Terra…I heard about how it was so different now that the pretty ‘finni made it better…

[licks your hair and nuzzles warmly into your back]

What do you want to do when we get there first?? I wonder if there’s any florets we know who live there…

[clovertherebel]

*the rebel girl eyes the affini carefully before finding a comfy spot on the ground to sit. Keeping her hands in her hoodie pockets, she had an obviously smile locked onto her face, not moving or emoting, just sitting still and not drawing much attention if she can help it*

[ice-cream-floret]

*looks at @clovertherebel and smiles*

doctoooooooooooooor um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um my friend clover and and and and and and and and and like the other sophonts that like share her body um um um um um um um don't like feel comfy around affini anymore after like um um um

*whispers* after like um um um um um um um um like @cryxalia-aeterna-5th-bloom like made her like forget about her

um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um could you like um help her, @hot-doctor-pepper?

[hot-doctor-pepper]

@clovertherebel Would you like to talk about something dear? If I can make you more comfortable in any way I’d be happy to oblige.

[clovertherebel]

*she visibly tenses when eyes are put on her and she keeps that fake smile plastered right on her face* oh nah I’m totally good~ just been a bit since I was last home I guess?

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Capsica’s voice drops into a soothing, warm tone and her biorhythm intensifies.

Clover, beautiful little one. Precious Sophont. You’re safe here. Would you like some treats? They’re delicious.

Capsica offers her a lollipop and some chocolates- all heavy with Class E and Class D Xenodrugs.

[clovertherebel]

*she blinks at the offered sweets, her smile falters a bit as she takes them* I uhh...

*a few more blinks and a moment of hesitation later her posture changes, her collar shifting to a midnight blue in color. She tilts her head to the side and smiled a bit wider, her voice deepens slightly, a bit of a slight accent shift and she looks up directly into the eyes of the affini in front of her*

thank you ma'am! I appreciate your hospitality!

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Oh precious, you’re a pluribus aren’t you? May I ask who I have the pleasure of speaking with now?

[clovertherebel]

My name is Owlette. Lovely to meet you~ *she kept up the same wide smile as before* and yes, we are pluribus.

*her hands vanish inside tbs sleeves of her hoodie so only her fingertips and the lollipop stuck out.*

Silver got a bit overwhelmed and went to calm down to avoid a nonverbal episode. *the lollipop was clearly being fiddled with more out of having something to fiddle with as she maintained composure.

Gradual shifting of her position had her resting comfortably on her knees with her sleeve covered hands in her lap. Which also muffled the sound of the wrapper being fiddled with*

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Owlette!! What a beautiful name! I love it so much. And I love your little collar, oh it’s so nice. I hope you all enjoy this little trip. If you ever feel overwhelmed or nervous, the bedrooms have perfectly Terran sized little nests that you can always retreat to to be left alone. The Spice Cream is built for safety, comfort, and healing. I understand Silver is nervous around Affini, so if you ever need care from a non-Affini, ask a nursebot or @ice-cream-floret . Both are highly qualified to prescribe tasty solutions to your problems!

[clovertherebel]

*she pops the lollipop in her mouth and nods, she didn’t take the wrapper off she just slid out it in her mouth and looked down at the floor* I… thank you ma’am that is appreciated. We did promise to stay close to minty and that’s what we intend to do.

[ice-cream-floret]

*hugs you like so so so so so close*

[clovertherebel]

*she giggles and hugs back, really grateful for the heated ice cream hoodie as she’s able to stay nice and close while feeling toasty warm enough her vertigo was in full spin(pun intended), not that she minded as she was just a bit wobbly and leaned a bit more into the hug*

[ice-cream-floret]

*keeps hugging you close and nuzzles into you*

friend!!!!!!!

we're like gonna have like so so so so so so so so so much fun on like the road trip!!!!!!!!

[clovertherebel]

*giggles plenty at that, nuzzling back, eyes closing as she focuses on her other senses* I umm… yeah! I honestly don’t think I actually thought about what this trip might entail what exactly are we gonna be doing on terra?

[ice-cream-floret]

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Terra has LOTS of big trees you can climb, with birds and squirrels and monkeys living in them .

[ice-cream-kitten]

Perfect :3!!!

It will be really cool to see all the animals and people from my homeworld. I do wonder if there are any normal cats there…I hope they don’t find me scary…

[ice-cream-floret]

*gasps* hazel we should like go to a like cat café that like serves ice cream!!!!!!!!! and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and also maybe like a catgirl café too later with like ice cream!!!!!!!!

[brfsstuff]

[ice-cream-kitten]

I can confirm this meowmeow

Would be nice to see another kitty around! But I don’t know if we’re planning to leave very soon or not, but I think we are? Which in that case it would be hard to get another kitty on. Decisions decisions…I’ll let the doctor decide.

[brfsstuff]

Yea that’s probably for the best…

I’m not exactly the most kitty right now… I still look uh… (sniffle) I don’t like how I look. B-but uh lemme know if she says yea!

[hot-doctor-pepper]

That can be remedied you know… I’ve uploaded a program to your tablet, try it out. You’re welcome aboard, either way!

Ooc: The tablet app I refer to often appears in several stories and it lets florets customize their desired appearance live, plan biomods, and submit the results for class G customization and implants.

[brfsstuff]

O-oh, uh. Thanks Doc! Lemme uh… wow there are a lot of options…. Uhhhh this. This is what I wanna look like.

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Trivial! A class G regimen will get you 95% there in 8 days, and I already have those exact ears grown and in stasis! Do you want the ears now or later?

[brfsstuff]

O-oh! You can do it… now? I-

… yes please…

Will I be able to, like, hear out of them or is it like a headband thing?

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Capsica wastes no time hitting the little one with a Class Z.

They’re your ears silly. She says as the drugs take effect. They’ll be even better at hearing than your old ones.

With all efficiency, Capsica takes the unconscious future kitty to the surgical theater (inviting everyone to watch through the adjacent room with a window) and grafts the ears in almost record time, rewriting nerves like weaving a scarf. The ears are secured in place with ultra strong phytostitches so they can heal perfectly in place, and everything is sanitized before the patient is placed in a soft recovery bed.

@ice-cream-floret @ice-cream-kitten Please provide an ice cream consult and prescription for the patient - wakefulness is expected in 10 minutes.

Everbloom I’m good. She thinks to herself.

[brfsstuff]

(Brie wakes up really refreshed and calm… with better hearing… she puts her hands on the side of her head, before realizing where her ears really are)

Oh… oh my stars… OH MY STARS I HAVE KITTY EARS!!! I HAVE KITTY EARSSSS AAAAAAAA

(She starts excitedly kicking her feet and giggling to herself, happy tears falling down her face)

[avurehdg]

AWWWWWW YAY!!!!!!

(Avure tackle hugs Brie)

Awwwwwwww they're so cute! @hot-doctor-pepper can I touch Brie's ears? Or do I have to wait for a while for recovery? I wanna give her ear scritches hehehehehehehe :3

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Be suuuuper gentle and it’s ok.

[avurehdg]

Okie!

(Avure suuuuuuuuper gently gives @brfsstuff some light & slow scritches at the base of her ears.)

Hehehehe :3

[brfsstuff]

[brfsstuff]

Hehehe yes I’d love a hug, Mint.

You can uh… you can gently stritch my ears too… if you wanna.

[brfsstuff]

Hehehe yes I’d love a hug, Mint.

(Ooc: I forget who else wanted to come, please ping them?)

Capsica finishes the last of the safety and supply checks of her ship, cuddling her two florets the whole time. She sets the pair down gently on the bridge/dining room/observation bay, and gets on the ship-wide intercom.

“All passengers this is your Captain Doctor Affini speaking. We will be departing the Zealand in one minute for our Solar Tour and Vacation to scenic Terra. We will be waving goodbye to the Zealand before warp here on the Bridge, and cake and Ice Cream will be served at our first destination: Exoplanet Construction Zone 437, future location of the yet-unnamed Ice Cream Dwarf Planet.”

[ice-cream-kitten]

[cuddles onto you while you speak to mama capsica]

I’m so excited to see Terra…I heard about how it was so different now that the pretty ‘finni made it better…

[licks your hair and nuzzles warmly into your back]

What do you want to do when we get there first?? I wonder if there’s any florets we know who live there…

[clovertherebel]

*the rebel girl eyes the affini carefully before finding a comfy spot on the ground to sit. Keeping her hands in her hoodie pockets, she had an obviously smile locked onto her face, not moving or emoting, just sitting still and not drawing much attention if she can help it*

[ice-cream-floret]

*looks at @clovertherebel and smiles*

doctoooooooooooooor um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um my friend clover and and and and and and and and and like the other sophonts that like share her body um um um um um um um don't like feel comfy around affini anymore after like um um um

um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um could you like um help her, @hot-doctor-pepper?

[hot-doctor-pepper]

@clovertherebel Would you like to talk about something dear? If I can make you more comfortable in any way I’d be happy to oblige.

[clovertherebel]

*she visibly tenses when eyes are put on her and she keeps that fake smile plastered right on her face* oh nah I’m totally good~ just been a bit since I was last home I guess?

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Capsica’s voice drops into a soothing, warm tone and her biorhythm intensifies.

Clover, beautiful little one. Precious Sophont. You’re safe here. Would you like some treats? They’re delicious.

Capsica offers her a lollipop and some chocolates- all heavy with Class E and Class D Xenodrugs.

[clovertherebel]

*she blinks at the offered sweets, her smile falters a bit as she takes them* I uhh...

*a few more blinks and a moment of hesitation later her posture changes, her collar shifting to a midnight blue in color. She tilts her head to the side and smiled a bit wider, her voice deepens slightly, a bit of a slight accent shift and she looks up directly into the eyes of the affini in front of her*

thank you ma'am! I appreciate your hospitality!

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Oh precious, you’re a pluribus aren’t you? May I ask who I have the pleasure of speaking with now?

[clovertherebel]

My name is Owlette. Lovely to meet you~ *she kept up the same wide smile as before* and yes, we are pluribus.

*her hands vanish inside tbs sleeves of her hoodie so only her fingertips and the lollipop stuck out.*

Silver got a bit overwhelmed and went to calm down to avoid a nonverbal episode. *the lollipop was clearly being fiddled with more out of having something to fiddle with as she maintained composure.

Gradual shifting of her position had her resting comfortably on her knees with her sleeve covered hands in her lap. Which also muffled the sound of the wrapper being fiddled with*

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Owlette!! What a beautiful name! I love it so much. And I love your little collar, oh it’s so nice. I hope you all enjoy this little trip. If you ever feel overwhelmed or nervous, the bedrooms have perfectly Terran sized little nests that you can always retreat to to be left alone. The Spice Cream is built for safety, comfort, and healing. I understand Silver is nervous around Affini, so if you ever need care from a non-Affini, ask a nursebot or @ice-cream-floret . Both are highly qualified to prescribe tasty solutions to your problems!

[clovertherebel]

*she pops the lollipop in her mouth and nods, she didn’t take the wrapper off she just slid out it in her mouth and looked down at the floor* I… thank you ma’am that is appreciated. We did promise to stay close to minty and that’s what we intend to do.

[ice-cream-floret]

*hugs you like so so so so so close*

[clovertherebel]

*she giggles and hugs back, really grateful for the heated ice cream hoodie as she’s able to stay nice and close while feeling toasty warm enough her vertigo was in full spin(pun intended), not that she minded as she was just a bit wobbly and leaned a bit more into the hug*

[ice-cream-floret]

*keeps hugging you close and nuzzles into you*

[clovertherebel]

*nodding a lot and blush mostly just enjoying being quiet and listening to the voice of the sophont her system’s been weirdly crushing on for the past few weeks.*

[ice-cream-kitten]

[cuddles onto you while you speak to mama capsica]

I’m so excited to see Terra…I heard about how it was so different now that the pretty ‘finni made it better…

[licks your hair and nuzzles warmly into your back]

What do you want to do when we get there first?? I wonder if there’s any florets we know who live there…

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Terra has LOTS of big trees you can climb, with birds and squirrels and monkeys living in them .

[ice-cream-kitten]

Perfect :3!!!

It will be really cool to see all the animals and people from my homeworld. I do wonder if there are any normal cats there…I hope they don’t find me scary…

[ice-cream-floret]

*gasps* hazel we should like go to a like cat café that like serves ice cream!!!!!!!!! and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and also maybe like a catgirl café too later with like ice cream!!!!!!!!

[brfsstuff]

Could uh… could I come too?

I’d like to be around more catgirls and cats n stuff…

n-no is a fine answer

[ice-cream-floret]

yea!!!!!!!!!!!! you can totally come!!!!!!!!!

and and and and and and and and and and and do you like know rose? rose is like um another like catgirl i know, um um um but like more specifically rose is like a caracal which is like a type of cat that's like bigger than like other cats *nods enthusiastically* rose is like also neighbours with us on like the zealand!!!!!!!

briiiieeeeeeee did you know that like my big sis, @ice-cream-kitten, is like also a kitten or like um um cat like you?

and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and we're like pinnates forever and ever and ever!!!!!!!!

[ice-cream-kitten]

I can confirm this meowmeow

Would be nice to see another kitty around! But I don’t know if we’re planning to leave very soon or not, but I think we are? Which in that case it would be hard to get another kitty on. Decisions decisions…I’ll let the doctor decide.

[brfsstuff]

Yea that’s probably for the best…

I’m not exactly the most kitty right now… I still look uh… (sniffle) I don’t like how I look. B-but uh lemme know if she says yea!

[hot-doctor-pepper]

That can be remedied you know… I’ve uploaded a program to your tablet, try it out. You’re welcome aboard, either way!

Ooc: The tablet app I refer to often appears in several stories and it lets florets customize their desired appearance live, plan biomods, and submit the results for class G customization and implants.

[brfsstuff]

O-oh, uh. Thanks Doc! Lemme uh… wow there are a lot of options…. Uhhhh this. This is what I wanna look like.

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Trivial! A class G regimen will get you 95% there in 8 days, and I already have those exact ears grown and in stasis! Do you want the ears now or later?

[brfsstuff]

O-oh! You can do it… now? I-

… yes please…

Will I be able to, like, hear out of them or is it like a headband thing?

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Capsica wastes no time hitting the little one with a Class Z.

They’re your ears silly. She says as the drugs take effect. They’ll be even better at hearing than your old ones.

With all efficiency, Capsica takes the unconscious future kitty to the surgical theater (inviting everyone to watch through the adjacent room with a window) and grafts the ears in almost record time, rewriting nerves like weaving a scarf. The ears are secured in place with ultra strong phytostitches so they can heal perfectly in place, and everything is sanitized before the patient is placed in a soft recovery bed.

@ice-cream-floret @ice-cream-kitten Please provide an ice cream consult and prescription for the patient - wakefulness is expected in 10 minutes.

Everbloom I’m good. She thinks to herself.

[brfsstuff]

(Brie wakes up really refreshed and calm… with better hearing… she puts her hands on the side of her head, before realizing where her ears really are)

Oh… oh my stars… OH MY STARS I HAVE KITTY EARS!!! I HAVE KITTY EARSSSS AAAAAAAA

(She starts excitedly kicking her feet and giggling to herself, happy tears falling down her face)

[avurehdg]

AWWWWWW YAY!!!!!!

(Avure tackle hugs Brie)

Awwwwwwww they're so cute! @hot-doctor-pepper can I touch Brie's ears? Or do I have to wait for a while for recovery? I wanna give her ear scritches hehehehehehehe :3

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Be suuuuper gentle and it’s ok.

[avurehdg]

Okie!

(Avure suuuuuuuuper gently gives @brfsstuff some light & slow scritches at the base of her ears.)

Hehehehe :3

[brfsstuff]

*takes a bowl of ice cream that helps with sensory overload and very very slowly lets you acclimate to the sensory input unless you keep eating more along with hugberry ice cream and a little bit of mint choccy chip ice cream to the side from strawberry, one of the three neopolitan ice cream assistants, an anthro cow girl plushie with pink strawberry flavoured spots all over her, wearing cute overalls with an ice cream shaped nametag that says „strawberry, neopolitan ice cream assistant for mint“*

[brfsstuff]

Hehehe yes I’d love a hug, Mint.

You can uh… you can gently stritch my ears too… if you wanna.

(She takes the bowl of ice cream and eats a spoonful before putting it aside for the time being and opening her arms for a hug)

[ice-cream-floret]

@ice-cream-kitten @ice-cream-floret

(Ooc: I forget who else wanted to come, please ping them?)

Capsica finishes the last of the safety and supply checks of her ship, cuddling her two florets the whole time. She sets the pair down gently on the bridge/dining room/observation bay, and gets on the ship-wide intercom.

“All passengers this is your Captain Doctor Affini speaking. We will be departing the Zealand in one minute for our Solar Tour and Vacation to scenic Terra. We will be waving goodbye to the Zealand before warp here on the Bridge, and cake and Ice Cream will be served at our first destination: Exoplanet Construction Zone 437, future location of the yet-unnamed Ice Cream Dwarf Planet.”

[ice-cream-floret]

*runs up to the window facing the zealand and waves to the zealand and giggles at one of the capture vines waving back*

[licks your hair and nuzzles warmly into your back]

What do you want to do when we get there first?? I wonder if there’s any florets we know who live there…

[clovertherebel]

*the rebel girl eyes the affini carefully before finding a comfy spot on the ground to sit. Keeping her hands in her hoodie pockets, she had an obviously smile locked onto her face, not moving or emoting, just sitting still and not drawing much attention if she can help it*

[ice-cream-floret]

*looks at @clovertherebel and smiles*

doctoooooooooooooor um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um my friend clover and and and and and and and and and like the other sophonts that like share her body um um um um um um um don't like feel comfy around affini anymore after like um um um

um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um um could you like um help her, @hot-doctor-pepper?

[hot-doctor-pepper]

@clovertherebel Would you like to talk about something dear? If I can make you more comfortable in any way I’d be happy to oblige.

[clovertherebel]

*she visibly tenses when eyes are put on her and she keeps that fake smile plastered right on her face* oh nah I’m totally good~ just been a bit since I was last home I guess?

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Capsica’s voice drops into a soothing, warm tone and her biorhythm intensifies.

Clover, beautiful little one. Precious Sophont. You’re safe here. Would you like some treats? They’re delicious.

Capsica offers her a lollipop and some chocolates- all heavy with Class E and Class D Xenodrugs.

[clovertherebel]

*she blinks at the offered sweets, her smile falters a bit as she takes them* I uhh...

*a few more blinks and a moment of hesitation later her posture changes, her collar shifting to a midnight blue in color. She tilts her head to the side and smiled a bit wider, her voice deepens slightly, a bit of a slight accent shift and she looks up directly into the eyes of the affini in front of her*

thank you ma'am! I appreciate your hospitality!

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Oh precious, you’re a pluribus aren’t you? May I ask who I have the pleasure of speaking with now?

[clovertherebel]

My name is Owlette. Lovely to meet you~ *she kept up the same wide smile as before* and yes, we are pluribus.

*her hands vanish inside tbs sleeves of her hoodie so only her fingertips and the lollipop stuck out.*

Silver got a bit overwhelmed and went to calm down to avoid a nonverbal episode. *the lollipop was clearly being fiddled with more out of having something to fiddle with as she maintained composure.

Gradual shifting of her position had her resting comfortably on her knees with her sleeve covered hands in her lap. Which also muffled the sound of the wrapper being fiddled with*

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Owlette!! What a beautiful name! I love it so much. And I love your little collar, oh it’s so nice. I hope you all enjoy this little trip. If you ever feel overwhelmed or nervous, the bedrooms have perfectly Terran sized little nests that you can always retreat to to be left alone. The Spice Cream is built for safety, comfort, and healing. I understand Silver is nervous around Affini, so if you ever need care from a non-Affini, ask a nursebot or @ice-cream-floret . Both are highly qualified to prescribe tasty solutions to your problems!

[clovertherebel]

*she pops the lollipop in her mouth and nods, she didn’t take the wrapper off she just slid out it in her mouth and looked down at the floor* I… thank you ma’am that is appreciated. We did promise to stay close to minty and that’s what we intend to do.

[ice-cream-floret]

*hugs you like so so so so so close*

[clovertherebel]

*she giggles and hugs back, really grateful for the heated ice cream hoodie as she’s able to stay nice and close while feeling toasty warm enough her vertigo was in full spin(pun intended), not that she minded as she was just a bit wobbly and leaned a bit more into the hug*

[ice-cream-floret]

*keeps hugging you close and nuzzles into you*

[clovertherebel]

and and and and and and and and and and and and and and and we're like pinnates forever and ever and ever!!!!!!!!

[ice-cream-kitten]

I can confirm this meowmeow

Would be nice to see another kitty around! But I don’t know if we’re planning to leave very soon or not, but I think we are? Which in that case it would be hard to get another kitty on. Decisions decisions…I’ll let the doctor decide.

[brfsstuff]

Yea that’s probably for the best…

I’m not exactly the most kitty right now… I still look uh… (sniffle) I don’t like how I look. B-but uh lemme know if she says yea!

[hot-doctor-pepper]

That can be remedied you know… I’ve uploaded a program to your tablet, try it out. You’re welcome aboard, either way!

Ooc: The tablet app I refer to often appears in several stories and it lets florets customize their desired appearance live, plan biomods, and submit the results for class G customization and implants.

[brfsstuff]

O-oh, uh. Thanks Doc! Lemme uh… wow there are a lot of options…. Uhhhh this. This is what I wanna look like.

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Trivial! A class G regimen will get you 95% there in 8 days, and I already have those exact ears grown and in stasis! Do you want the ears now or later?

[brfsstuff]

O-oh! You can do it… now? I-

… yes please…

Will I be able to, like, hear out of them or is it like a headband thing?

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Capsica wastes no time hitting the little one with a Class Z.

They’re your ears silly. She says as the drugs take effect. They’ll be even better at hearing than your old ones.

With all efficiency, Capsica takes the unconscious future kitty to the surgical theater (inviting everyone to watch through the adjacent room with a window) and grafts the ears in almost record time, rewriting nerves like weaving a scarf. The ears are secured in place with ultra strong phytostitches so they can heal perfectly in place, and everything is sanitized before the patient is placed in a soft recovery bed.

@ice-cream-floret @ice-cream-kitten Please provide an ice cream consult and prescription for the patient - wakefulness is expected in 10 minutes.

Everbloom I’m good. She thinks to herself.

[brfsstuff]

(Brie wakes up really refreshed and calm… with better hearing… she puts her hands on the side of her head, before realizing where her ears really are)

Oh… oh my stars… OH MY STARS I HAVE KITTY EARS!!! I HAVE KITTY EARSSSS AAAAAAAA

(She starts excitedly kicking her feet and giggling to herself, happy tears falling down her face)

[avurehdg]

AWWWWWW YAY!!!!!!

(Avure tackle hugs Brie)

Awwwwwwww they're so cute! @hot-doctor-pepper can I touch Brie's ears? Or do I have to wait for a while for recovery? I wanna give her ear scritches hehehehehehehe :3

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Be suuuuper gentle and it’s ok.

[avurehdg]

Okie!

(Avure suuuuuuuuper gently gives @brfsstuff some light & slow scritches at the base of her ears.)

The Spice Cream comes out of its final jump, having visited many of Sol’s cafes, ice cream parlors, and other attractions and projects.

It arrives gracefully in high orbit around Terra. To those who saw it less than a decade ago, the Terran homeworld is unrecognizable. Gone is the choking smog, the cruel factories, and the run down slums. Sapphire oceans and emerald continents are broken up by ivory clouds drifting lazily around the gem of a planet.
