Hi! I was wondering if I could adopt a Pastel??

Here is your little boi. Good luck with all the glitter and make sure to take good care of them.

I come back in with my Starnoodle, Cosmic, wrapped across my shoulders, as if he is a scarf. He has one eye socket open as he swishes his tail in greeting to Dawn. "Hi Dawn! I was wondering if I could adopt a Galaxywing? Ole Cosmic here said they make good company!"

- Dawn smiles as you come in, clearly happy to see the both of you again. “Hello! Of course you can! And Cosmic is right of course, my own Galaxywing Atlas is such a joy to have around! The Galaxywings are outside right now, planting some herbs and plants. Come along, I’ll show you where they are.” She happily turns to the doors leading outside, motioning for you to follow along.

- Outside is a few other bitties as well. Some Flares are sunbathing with some Razzles that are for once laying still! A few Hyperfluffs are catching butterflies and carefully letting them go again a bit further away. Dawn leads you over to where a bunch of Galaxywings are working on planting the different things... Along with some who are trying to move one Sly bitty. “Calix, really?” She mumbles before looking to you with a sorry smile. “Go on and talk to the Galaxywings, I’ll have to see if I can’t help out in this situation.” She tells you before going over to the fox.

*she bends down to get a better look into the carrier* "Uh, hi! How are you?" *she asked in a calm, quiet voice*

“...fine.” The bitty grunts after a moments thought. He’s silent again, before adding a quiet; “You?”

Hello! I was wondering if there could be an rp scenario where I can adopt an Ink?

Yeah, sure. I would recommend you head to @askbittyerror though, I don’t rp on this blog.

The Road to Recovery: Getting Out There

The Cherry Coral is Returned | The Road to Recovery Begins | Epidose III: A New Hope

*When Vex opens the shop, she asks the Cherry Coral who was returned if he’d like to stay in her apron pocket or in his treasure cave for the day. He opts for the treasure cave, something he’s been doing more often, and Vex smiles at his progress. She places the Cherry Coral and his snake plush Esperanza into the box under the desk where he prefers to hide, but he waves his hand to get her attention.

*Vex leans down and the little Cherry Coral quietly asks if he can sit on top of the counter today. Vex places his box securely on the counter where the Cherry Coral can view the whole shop if he wishes. She tells him to let her know if he’d like to move again, and he nods. He’s going to do it. Today... he is going to meet people!

*Feeling a bit exposed, the Cherry Coral peeks over the top lip of the box looking around to see if anyone in the shop looks safe to say hello to. Esperanza helps him look with her blue button eyes.

*There!

*The Cherry Coral has seen Ilichtda visiting the nursery. Edgar likes him, and the hatchlings are always very excited when he shows up. The Cherry Coral raises a hand that trembles with nerves and waves at Ilichtda, ducking down immediately. When he peers out again, Ilichtda is patiently waiting outside the nursery, and gives him a kind smile and finger wave in return when he appears.

*When Crysta offers some warm cuddles and purrs, the Cherry Coral actually accepts, provided that Esperanze is also invited (she is!). The purrs are very soothing to the Cherry Coral and though he’s not quite ready for smooches, this physical contact gives him a bit more confidence. Plus, Crysta smells really nice, and he likes that.

@crysta-cub

*The Cherry Coral is relaxed after his snuggles and purrs with Crysta. When you approach with Rubeus, he actually appears very alert and curious, a huge change from his previous listless demeanor. He’s especially interested in how happy and well cared for Rubeus is. You brought him to the shop, and he isn’t worried that you’re returning him? That means you must be a great owner, and if that’s true... maybe there is someone who would want... to have... and keep... a Cherry Coral... like... him...

*Vex watches as the Cherry Coral waves the letter to the kitsune, asking for it to be read to him (his owner never taught him to read). The words in the letter bring happy tears to his eyes, which he is careful not to get on the soft sweater that he pulls over his head. People do want him? Not as a joke? Not to tease him? People would let him... be in their home? Part of their... family? With cuddles and everything? This is a lot to think about and discuss with Esperanza, but he allows himself to be given a very careful cuddle. Cuddles, he decides, are nice!

@tails-and-scales

*Vex points the Redimese (such a cutie) towards the Cherry Coral, who is actually leaning out of his box nest by now to see the visitors who want to offer him words of encouragement. Nobody laughs at him. Nobody mocks him. Nobody calls him sniveling or clingy. Even this anxious Redimese is treated with respect and care, not scorn. The Cherry Coral understands that the Redimese might be nervous around so many people under the bright lights of the shop. He knows he is, so he offers a hug from Esperanza and, after a deep calming breath to gather his courage, one from him too.

@soulsinbottles

*The day is winding down in the shop, and the little Cherry Coral sees a few more visitors have come to see him before Vex closes for the night. Each lamia gives him plenty of space, making sure to approach one at a time to offer him a meaningful gift. The chocolate and the heated blanket are wonderful, and he plans to share them with Esperanza later. The hoodie fabric is soft, and having a book read to him in a Krait’s soothing voice sounds wonderful, but the hand picked shinies make his eyes widen. It is clear that these are from a personal treasure stash!

*The Cherry Coral doesn’t know how to react. He begins to feel a bit overwhelmed by the attention and acceptance. He starts to doubt himself and scoots under his blankets, hiding. Understanding that he needs some time, you make small talk with Vex before leaving for the night. At home, in his nest, two crimson eyelights glow in the darkness. The Cherry Coral has a lot to think about...

The Epic Conclusion >

[vex-bittys]

Me bringing back my Krait, Luka, with.... what is that, the krait's see? New pool toys? I start throwing them out while Luka demonstrators them.

*The Kraits are already exiting their play pools en masse to greet you and Luka when they see the new pool toys. They gasp with excitement, catching the new toys and marveling at how fun and cool they are! Wind-up duckies that swim across the top of the water! Diving submarine toys! Pool noodles (but aren’t the Krait pool noodles themselves?), and foam water guns that shoot gentle streams of pool water.

*Luka gets pulled into the splash, diving fun, and you even give the wind-up duckies a try without actually getting into the water. The joyous laughter and the sound of playful splashing soon attracts other water-loving lamia bittybones as well. 

*Chains give chase to duckies and submarines, dodging jets of water from the foam water guns, and collapsing into the water dramatically if they are hit. Some Corals who wanted to swim for a bit commandeer some convenient pool noodles for lounging… and if a few water guns fall into their hands? Well, they aren’t going to not play with them!

I'm going to take a wild guess here, but do you have experience with Edgar picking you up and putting you in a nest when you were bitty sized? XD

*Yes. The moment Edgar saw that I was bitty-sized, he scooped me up and put me in one of the hatchling nests to “keep me safe.” He couldn’t resist nesting though, and he plopped down next to me and ruffled his feathers so I could nestle in them for warmth. I think he might have planned to bottle feed me too, but Butter distracted him, and Honey and Poff staged a nursery jail break. I’ve still got some downy Edgar fluff in my hair.

*Edgar puts you back in the nest and begins to preen you because a clean tiny human is a happy tiny human. Then you make your threat… of swearing!

*Edgar gasps. No swearing in the nursery!

*You have been

B A N N E D

*But mama hen Edgar will miss you, naughty child.

*Waffle shoos any grabby people away from you. It happens in the shop sometimes, and those people are asked to leave. Nobody, human, monster, or bitty, should be touched without consent. We also fully support the biting of grabby-handed people. Edgar spots the tiny dragon wandering in. A new baby! He doesn’t get a chance to bring you into the nursery though…

* …because the Mambas arrive. Those rainbow scales? The fact that you are a real, genuine bitty dragon? Yup, you are an official Mamba now.

Small me then decides that the Corals and Cornies deserve some love to! Snuggled for the boys

More about the tiny owners outbreak:

Beginning | Continuation | Lamia Bittybones Reactions

*A group of Coral just happens to be slithering by, and you just happen to get caught up in the movement. They aren’t petting you, of course; they are just gently pushing you because you are in their way! The Corals make their way over to the anti-venom fridge, not because they want to hang out with the Cornies or anything. No, they just happen to like the soft blankets for napping.

*If you think the Corals have joined the Cornies (who rolled over immediately) in cuddling you, you are mistaken! There just isn’t a whole lot of room under here and they have to be this close to you. Those are absolutely not purrs. That is obviously snoring!

@thedragonlover

*Every Mamba secretly imagines himself to be a majestic dragon, so of course they were absolutely smitten to see a dragon in the shop who was their size! Obviously, you were destined to be one of them. Plus, the rainbow color scales are gorgeous. Yes, the Mambas love you, and they don’t often accept new members into their very exclusive Mamba Club.

*The Mambas will also definitely keep people from just touching or grabbing you.  Mambas are to be respected, especially the rainbow dragon Mamba!
