Henry got to opt out of standardized testing because unis and colleges weren’t requiring it (also one of the things that helped Bunny get into the school).
The class only has zoom classes for a few weeks before Julian is able to convince the school to let them be in person (both he and Henry hate the online schooling with a burning passion, the rest of the Greek class do too, but Julian and Henry much more). Richard still has to do online classes for French.
The twins experiment with cooking together because of boredom. Charles begins to play the piano more often, and Camilla gets into origami (don’t ask me why I just feel like this makes sense).
Bunny’s an anti-masker, this freaks Francis out a lot, considering he will not leave his place without hand sanitizer, masks, and a prayer (even though he’s not the biggest science believer, he’s still superstitious and a hypochondriac).
Charles and Camilla ask Richard for advice on how to cut their hair themselves, and considering they have each other to make sure it doesn’t go too poorly, it turns out alright for them. Bunny tries to cut his because he doesn’t want to let it grow too long and look ‘girly’, it goes about as well as anyone would expect and gets an actual laugh out of Henry. Francis just grows his out, being too lazy and not caring enough to cut it. Henry’s hair somehow stays looking the same, and it makes them wonder if he’d been cutting it himself beforehand or if he’s got some personal barber who will still take him.
Bunny, being on his own and insanely bored (which he makes very clear in the class group chat (that does not include Henry, who only has a landline, but Bunny just calls him to blab), and to his other friends like Cloke), starts to draw more.
Bunny’s more prone to getting sick because of his asthma (weakened immune system), and when he does get sick, the twins bring over some soup, and Marion goes over to help him out sometimes. Bunny milks it, of course, but actually doesn't feel well, and when there’s an actual scare, and Bunny ends up in the hospital, Henry gets called because he was Buns emergency contact. When Bunny recovers, “Of course I’m alright! I drank a lot of milk when I was growing up, still do. Grew up a strong boy, just like my Dad said I would!”
Judy gets really into the whole ‘whipped coffee’ thing that was going around, and experiments a lot more with makeup.
Richard spends a lot of time binging movies.
Charles and Francis end up on a lot of late night calls, which often end with actual admittance from both ends on missing each other, it could mean something different for both of them, they don’t talk about it.
Henry’s still getting dressed as usual everyday, Francis is just lounging around in a robe, Richard is wearing his older clothes that he usually wouldn’t wear in front of the class, Charles and Camilla just gave up on any separation of their clothes and just wore whatever, and Bunny was in his pajamas practically every day.
The isolation hits them all hard, even Henry, and especially Bunny. At some point, after Francis insists on multiple tests beforehand, they go out to the Country house and everything feels just a bit better for that week or two.
(Thank you to this post for making me think about this.)
