I felt the urge to do this, so yeah. Have a thing

Lunar doesn’t have much going on in terms of clothes here, and that’s just because I haven’t worked anything out yet for him

.....Daycare Attendant!Fresh having no sense of personal space should be a thing that exists

Since normal Fresh doesn't comprehend personal space and thinks it's ok to kiss everyone upon first meeting them, maybe the daycare boy just like,,, lingers in people's space bubbles and gives a lot of completely unprompted hugs

Sonnie (Sun!Connie) might give unprompted hugs too, but that's usually just because she gets super excited about meeting someone new and she immediately wants to be their friend, so she just sorta,, forgets that she's supposed to ask first. She'll apologize if you explain to her that she can't hug people without permission, and she'll make a mental note not to do it again, but she will get so excited over little things that she might have to be reminded more than once. There's nothing malicious behind it, it's literally just because she's so excited to meet new people and see her friends that she forgets

Meanwhile, DA!Fresh is completely unapologetic. He might say sorry to appease whoever he hugged, but he never means it, and there's like an 80% chance that he'll end up doing it again

Then Lunar (Moon!Ret)..... Yeah. Pre-virus Lunar would be happy to give hugs if asked, but post-virus Lunar is a definite threat to everyone's well-being, and giving hugs is not advised in the slightest

Some concepts that I invested way too much time on

There are two versions for Lunar, mostly since idk if I like him more with or without the sharp teeth. Also dunno if I want any of this to be finalized yet, either ^^” I wanted Sonnie to be as cutesy as possible, but that’s not an easy to thing accomplish when she lacks eye lights and has those sun rays so close to her socket

The idea for the markings around their eyes was thanks to @isnt-that-something :P she’s got a lot of good ideas, and they’re insanely helpful sometimes

The last handful of these, because ye. I used each name twice on one because I felt like their reactions could vary a little

((Decided to make a little guide to Lunar's different eye colorations and what they mean, so ye. Here's this, in case anyone wants/needs to reference it at any point))

Everything's been fairly normal and as it should be. Fresh is still trying to loiter around wherever Sonnie happens to be, but it doesn't seem like he's as determined to invade her personal space anymore. Thank god, it's about time he started listening.

In other news, Sonnie still talks to Lunar throughout the day. She won't do it out loud when she's surrounded by kids, but when she gets a moment or two to herself, then she'll start speaking out loud. Upon checking her system and data, it does look like she communicates with Lunar more often than we realized, though. Spikes can be seen in the system's log, suggesting that he even responds back to her.

The only weird part of that is that Sonnie seems to also have an imaginary friend, now. I don't know why, hell, I didn't even know robots could make imaginary friends at all, but... It's a little unnerving sometimes. Good for her, I guess, but unnerving for the human staff.

The most recent incident is when Nick found a drawing in Sonnie's room, taped to the wall. One figure was obviously supposed to be Sonnie, but then there was a smaller one that we didn't recognize. I think it was supposed to be a girl with dark hair, but I'm not sure. Something about the stare the girl was drawn with makes me not want to step foot in Sonnie's room ever again. Maybe it's just her programming being weird, though. Who knows.

I know this place has it's fair share of skeletons in closets, but... None of that could have anything to do with this. Right?

Man, it's been a while since anyone's updated these, huh? Not sure how or why, but I guess we all kinda got sidetracked with things.

Anyway though, we're not sure how or why, but Cosette and Hue have found their way back. Cosette was locked in a box for ages and she's been powered off and charging for a while. Sonnie's been adamant about keeping her in Lunar's room until she's completely charged and ready to go again, and Lunar's been exhibiting more aggression than before. All of it seems to be directed at Fresh, and from what we understand, it's because he doesn't want Fresh anywhere near Cosette.

Fresh has been released from parts and service and we found his starfish in Wynter's Wall Climbing, tucked into a cubby full of climbing gear. We have no idea what it was doing there, but it's in parts and service, getting checked out as we speak. Fresh refuses to work without it, so he's been loitering in parts and service as well, eagerly waiting for Ibis to finish working on it.

Hue's back now, too. We don't know how, but he turned up in parts and service as well, probably in the worst shape he's ever been in. He happened to catch the tiniest glimpse of Fresh and immediately went into some sort of panic mode. His eyes were huge and flashing through different color and shape combinations, his chest was heaving despite not actually needing to breath, and he nearly fell off the bench he'd been placed on, because he tried to drag himself away from where Fresh was. Fresh didn't see him, thankfully, but we'll have to have Ibis repair his voice box and see if he remembers why he's suddenly so freaked out by Fresh.

Management isn't sure what to do about this sudden surge of daycare animatronics yet, though. Sonnie and Lunar will obviously stay in the daycare, as will Cosette. Fresh may end up primarily working more in music hall than in the daycare, but they're not sure about that yet. Given the extent of the damage that Hue's taken, it'll be a while before they're forced to make any decisions regarding him. Hopefully they keep him around instead of scrapping him. He's a sweetheart, the kids loved him almost as much as they love Sonnie, and he's funny. Would honestly hate to see anything else happen to the poor guy.
