A Tall horned being walks into the shop carrying two large chests that are decorated to look like a pirate chests. The being smiles at Vex and greets her kindly while explaining why they are here.
"I have gifts for the Fire-rings that joined in the spicy contest and some goodie bags for those who tried!"
*The tall-horned being gently places down the two large chests, one was filled with little plastic bags with different pastries. The other was filled with gifts for the Fire-rings to choose from.*
The large-horned being then sits down in between the chests to help hand out the gifts. They then remembered to quickly grab a few bags of pastries that they had set aside for Vex and her helpers.
"I hope you guys had fun trying out my family's dishes!*
-🌶
>Based on this post
*The goodie bags with pastries are passed out amongst the denizens of the shop, including to Vex and her assistants. Honey and Poff, the skelepuppers, wag their tails as they scurry away with their snacks. They're worried you brought more spicy food, and the spices make them sneeze. Vex, a total spice wimp, happens to love a good pastry, and she hangs around, watching the FireRings select their prizes.
*Once the FireRings have their gift bags, they happily surround the horned being to discuss spicy foods and recipes. They really enjoyed the dishes that were served. Even some Chains have slithered over to learn more about the flavors that were presented during the spicy food competition.
*It seems your family dishes were quite a hit with the spice-loving lamias of the shop!
Tumblr media
*Maybe one of those glass vials is hot sauce?

I had this mental image a long, long time ago (that of the Cornys being treated like sausages by a Papython dressed in an apron and chef's hat) and this exact passage written several and several months ago.
The story just didn't develop (I only had that stretch in mind and nothing else) until today. I just sat and wrote it. Without any planning! It just flowed from the mind to the keyboard.
(And there is proof that stories have a life of their own and want to be told)
So there it is. A small snippet of what I imagine to be one day at the Vex adoption store.
Thank you @vex-bittys for creating such a fun universe and allowing us to play with it!
Summary: It was a beautiful sunny day at Vex's Lamia Bittybones Adoption Center and Clinic
It was a beautiful sunny day at Vex's Lamia Bittybones Adoption Center and Clinic.
After several days locked up due to the rains, the dark clouds had finally dispersed and the lamias could go out and enjoy the sun. And enjoy they would.
The Kings had already gone out with some Papythons to check the back garden and see how the plants had fared and the possible care they would have to give to the flower beds.
The Pygmys left next. They spread out quickly, happy to have more space for their zooms. In a short time they entered a friendly competition to see who could go faster and dodge the largest number of remaining pools of water (needless to say that in their excitement many forgot that they should dodge and soon it was confusing even for them if the competition was for deflect or pass through as many puddles as possible).
Even Edgar had taken advantage and taken the current clutcher for some fresh air. He set up a small children's pool with Waffle's help and watched with affection the young Kraits gliding in the few inches of water inside.
The day was heating up fast, so he didn't care about the gentle breeze blowing, but even if the heat of the sun wasn't enough, the Kraits' counterpart, a group of FireRing puppies (all huddled safely in the older skeleton, and away from spatter caused by his brothers) they pleasantly warmed the air (a little uncomfortable for the feathered skeleton that carried them, but what was a little discomfort to see the happy faces and hear the chirps of the babes?) and protect the lamias more delicate.
His son Quetzl, a rare winged Papython hybrid, is happily strolling through the garden, avoiding the puddles and wandering Pygmys, happy to just be outdoors and be able to spread his wings after the last few days confined.
But not all lamias were enjoying their “new freedom” from the prison of bad weather outdoors. Some preferred to stay inside, enjoying the sun from a drier and more comfortable place.
This was the case with the Mambas who had gathered in front of one of the store's large front windows, dragging soft cushions and positioning themselves in them as a particularly expensive display of jewelry. They enjoyed the sun safely, away from possible puddles of cold water or mud (the mud could be beneficial to the skin they had read, but after a bad experience with worms trapped in rib cages, they all agreed that it was better to try the muds the type that came in cosmetic pots and not the natural one found in gardens).
They took turns in positions that were not always practical, but that always captured the sun's rays perfectly to make their well-polished scales shine.
In the other window a large barbecue grill had been set up and a full size Papython with an apron and a chef's hat turned over, with the help of a silicone spatula, several Cornys that slept on the grill. Below them, at the bottom of the grill, a group of miniature FireRings rested, enjoying the sun without worrying about the dangers of water splashing by Pygmys aimlessly and giving the illusion that the barbecue grill was really burning (that in a way, it really was).
The fact that they were being heated, both above by the sun, and below by the fire lamias (which perfectly regulated their temperature so as not to burn or overwhelm their friends above or themselves), made the blue noodles purr with satisfaction (more than one with a noise very similar to hot fat sizzling on the coals).
Above them, in a corner of the window, someone had attached a poster that could be read outside the store:
“Hot Corny free!”
"Adopt before they pop!"
Surrounded by drawings of smiling blue corncobs.
The ad should be working because one of the small noodles had already found an owner (who had received it nestled in a hot dog bun and a pun: "Sorry kid, but there is no more spice for extra accompaniments").
The skelepuppers, Honey and Poff had also left early, accompanying a small group of Corals who were going to explore the garden to see if there was anything interesting brought by the winds, or dug up by the rain, to be added to their treasures.
The Corals, of course, made it clear that THEY were accompanying the young to supervise them on their adventures (and if they secretly expected some praise and pats as rewards for their work, nobody really needed to know).
The puppies spent a few hours exploring the garden with the other bittys and after a while they rushed in to offer Vex a beautiful flower each, who would have been even happier with the presents had the pups not left a trail of muddy paws behind .
While Waffle took two squirming puppies for a bath, Vex cleaned up the dirt left by them. The Kraits were subsequently summoned and with their abilitys they set up a kind of cleaning station, almost a jetty for bittys, at the entrance for when the other residents decided to go back inside (Of course, those who used it most ended up being the Kraits themselves who could not resist an experience with water and bubbles. They said it was all a quality test, but they didn't even cheat the baby Butter).
Belle and her gang had also left and with mud war paintings and flower “helmets” they had ambushed one of the flowerbeds, leaping over a full-sized King who had inflated his hood of true fright at first, but soon entered a the kidding and let himself be “captured” by the smaller lamias.
Upon hearing the commotion some Chains had appeared worried and now watched amused the dramatic King lying on the floor regretting his luck while Belle, the leader of the Commanders, stood on her ribcage and proclaimed her defense to the kingdom of weeds against the cruel giants that plucked them. Some other Kings looked somewhat divided between laughter and concern (of being the next targets).
Lieutenant Cherry, Belle's right-hand man, watched everything from a strategic point on a fence that bordered a flower bed, gave the alert of enemy attack when a group of Pygmys came together and charged against Belle's troops in defense of the giant friend (who was beginning to realize that him would probably be lying on the floor for some time).
Soon there were mud and small, harmless bone attacks flying through the garden while the two “armies” clashed under the watchful eyes of the rest of the “gardeners” and the fans composed of the Chains, the babys (that Edgar had to control so they could just watch and not run to play. Although the attacks are harmless he didn’t want to risk any of them being run over by some more distracted adult) and the Corals who stopped looking for treasure and started watching with interest, offering some not so innocent advice and incentives (quickly silenced by a fierce look from Edgar who did not need impressionable young people to learn such language).
As the garden turned into a small war field, the Honeys Bo finally woke up and emerged from their warm nests to discover that the dark clouds were gone. They looked a little cross-eyed at the bright sky and the floating white clouds and with smiles of satisfaction packed their things and went to the front of the store, spreading out in the entrance with their mp3's. Soon they were dozing again, lulled by the lazy movement of the clouds and their soundtracks of choice.
Chains had spread throughout the store and beyond. Some had gone out and scanned the surroundings (to see if there were any bitty nearby who had had a problem with the rains and maybe slip in their soul bonds, who knows?), or around the house to check if there was any damage. These were later attracted to the Commanders' war cries and now watched the battle with amusement.
Some of those who went to look around the neighborhood came back a while later, alone or accompanied by some Chain that had not been able to reach the store before because of the rain, or some Bitty who was injured or had his nest/den damaged by bad weather and were temporarily homeless (and at least one dragging an adopter to sign the adoption papers while his soul shone with the new bond).
Those who stayed in the store spread out to help the other lamias or Vex herself by temporarily taking over the reception while it cleaned up the mess of messy, but good-hearted, puppies. They even guiding one or another adopter or visitor through the store (and more from one to the bathroom to clean up when they decided to take a look at the back garden and was hit by a stray mud missile).
A group joined the Honeys Bo at the front, hoping to feel their soul's call by a passerby and at least three thanked Vex and other lamias and left the store shelter to begin or resume their travels in search of their Soulbonds.
Vex, after cleaning the dirt and arranging a small vase for the two flowers given as a gift, went to check on Waflle with the puppies, leaving the reception with a Chain that was talking to a visitor and inviting him to take a look at the Mambas (almost like a salesman persuading a customer to take a look at a pair of diamond earrings from an exclusive line).
She went to look at the bathroom, but didn't find them there. Passing the kitchen she heard a commotion and decided to take a peek inside.
The skelepuppers were sitting at the end of a table, each equipped with a wooden spoon that they scraped in a large bowl between them. Baby Butter was further back with his own wooden spoon and his face and little hands all soiled with the contents of the bowl.
Waffle watched them fondly and with a little frustration. He had just bathed the two puppies (a task not so easy) and although the two managed to keep the dirt restricted to the face (nothing that a damp cloth would not solve) the same could not be said of his son who had smeared himself whole. Apparently today would be his day to bathe messy puppies.
Syrup was in its place at the top of Waffle's skull, and although, from time to time he turned and looked at his son with pure love, he was more focused on the rest of the kitchen leaving the watchman / baba service to his companion.
The Mamba watched the Papythons prepare the meals of the day, giving occasional orders and handing out tasks like a tiny Gordon Ramsay (but without the name-calling).
He had taken refuge in the kitchen with Butter early, the promise of treats being the best tactic to keep a child well-behaved and indoors (Butter was a very good puppy, but still a puppy and a much bigger one than Syrup, which sometimes made it a little difficult to control. Nothing that an incredible Mamba and an even better father couldn’t handle. But even Syrup had to admit that preventing a child, no matter how well behaved, and who had passed the last few days trapped between four walls, do not run outside and immediately throw yourself into puddles, it was a big challenge to be done without some dirty/sweet tactics).
But as soon as he entered the kitchen, and saw the larger lamias at work, he couldn't help but notice that the Papythons (even though they were very hardworking and competent in their jobs) urgently needed some help. And who would be better to help them than he, a wonderful and super competent Mamba? So he started to command them.
The Papythons were astonished with gratitude (in other words they had no idea how to deal with the little bossy snake and its smiling baby), staring at him paralyzed as he wandered around the kitchen inspecting and giving tips and orders (some half-senseless. They were not cooking no veal and it was certainly celery and not turnips) until the gigantic King appeared, with a grumpy puppy under each arm, and seeing the Papythons' desperate face (who absolutely did not want to be rude to someone who was obviously trying to help) came to the rescue.
Depositing the puppies on the table and helping his son to climb, he leaned over to pick up a bowl with leftover cake dough and whisper to one of the orange lamias that they just worked normally and when Mamba gave an order they just shouted “Yes Chef!". Straightening up, he took the bowl to the chicks and gave each one a spoon.
After that, things flowed like water. Syrup rose to the top of Waffle's skull and with a privileged view began to dictate more and more orders. The Papytons just shouted their agreement and continued to work normally (although some of the commands like: “Stir this soup more willingly!” and “Watch the egg point!” were really followed) little Mamba was swelling with pride when see everyone working so diligently under your command.
Waffle just delighted in the pleasure of his little love and the contentment of his son and puppies with his makeshift snack.
Vex watched in amusement for a few minutes. Syrup when he noticed Vex, shouted that the food would be ready in 5 minutes, while a Papython in the background made a movement with his hand indicating that it would take longer than the five minutes predicted by Mamba. She left them after that and went back to the reception, just in time to take a call about an old adopter wanting to pay a visit later and maybe get a new mate.
Before long, she would go to the back garden and give a "cease fire" when announcing lunch. The fighters would go through the car wash to get in and eat.
Edgar would collect the babys (letting the Kraits babies enter the car wash accompanied by adult Kraits. Not that they needed it, but it would be a good experience for the little ones to see what kinds of things they would be able to do, and more, as adults) and also would enter.
The Chains would enter, or the Papythons would take the lunches to them and the Honeys Bo and take the opportunity to have lunch under the sky, forming in a mixture of various warm and inviting shades of orangein front of the store.
The Mambas will take a break from their show and the Cornys... well they will continue to sleep, but they will still eat (somehow) their meals. Papython "cook" will remove the FireRings from the bottom of the grill and they will have lunch by the pool with the Kraits while these tell how their newest invention works.
Later on, there will be new visitors and potential adopters. The Corals will polish their new treasures and perhaps some will find their way, unconsciously, to the nest of some other lamia (and hopefully, the hands of some adopter).
When the afternoon progresses, and the weather gets a little cool, the Honeys Bo and the Chains will come in and seek the warmth of their nests or a companion for an afternoon nap. It may be that new Chains appear and others leave, being attracted by a mysterious and insistent pull on their souls.
The Pygmys will play with their hunting toys and may be able to convince some Mambas and even some Kings to join together (the Kings throwing the toys for the Pygmys to catch and the Mambas to attack).
The Commanders will gather in their nest, plotting new battle plans while Cherry takes inventory of their spoils of war (a toy mouse washed but still stained with mud, 2 snail shells, several helmets half shattered and already withering, a bag of seeds, some candy wrappers and several paper clips that they picked up on the way back to the nest).
The Cornys will return under the anti-poison refrigerator (or more precisely, they will be replaced by the helpful Papython who had taken them out that morning) where the Grillbitty (who had spent the day at the bottom of the kitchen oven, sleeping in perfect peace and quiet thanks to the comfortable and soothing noise from the oven flames. He loves his companions Corny, he really does, but even he needs a break from all the snoring, puns and fart pads every now and then and with everyone trapped in the same space for the past few days, he more that he needed some time alone and in silence) awaits you with his warm welcome.
Perhaps more at night, when the last visitor leaves and the store closes, Vex will go to the recreation room and put on a movie to watch. Honey and Poff will curl up on each side, while the Papythons distribute soft blankets and hot chocolate to the lamias who decide to join them.
Or maybe she reads a little while the wind is blowing outside. The Kings curled around her listening intently, their hoods vibrating softly to suppress the excitement with the story or the new word learned.
Edgar, with Quetzl wrapped around his neck, can bring the babies, who will sleep before the end of the story, but until then they will hear ecstatic and thirsty to absorb more about the world, real or imagined, contained in the pages.
Regardless of what she chooses, Waffle will sit with your baby in your arms and your love around and enjoy the peaceful night and the pure happiness of being with those she loves. He and Syrup will watch the baby Butter coo for colorful figures on TV or let out occasional “Mwah!” at strategic moments in history.
But this is later, for now Vex welcomes a new adopter, listening carefully to be able to help them find the best lamia companion possible.
It's just another day like so many others in the store. The sun is shining outside, birds are singing, flowers are blooming and bittys are up and having fun. On days like this, Vex is sure that many of his dear noodles will find a good home and a happy family, and even those who not (by choice or because it was not yet time), they will always have a safe place in the store and good friends to share.
A welcoming home and a loving family was what Vex's Lamia Bittybones Adoption Center and Clinic really was.

id like to be in the middle if a lamia cuddle pile please, just not feeling great today
(I'm sorry to hear that you were having a rough day, and I hope this message isn't too late to cheer you up)
*Honey and Poff, the resident skelepuppers and shop assistant management team, exchange worried looks. Not another person falling victim to the dreaded bad day (week... month... etc)! Not on their watch!
*Leaping into action, the pair grabs one of the extra chest slings that Waffle has been carrying Miss Vex in (one without a current occupant) and quickly tucks you into it. Honey takes the front to steer, and Poff adds his support from the back. Together, they carry you through the shop in the improvised palanquin-hammock, calling put for the lamias to come get some snuggles!
* The Cornies arrived at the first sign of shenanigans, but they are nearly trampled by Kraits and Chains in a mad slithering dash for cuddles. Thankfully, helpful Papythons scoop them up and carry them into the cuddle pile.
*FireRings find space to add their warmth to the comforting snuggles while Pygmies and Mambas zoom to and fro as your entourage. Their energy levels are simply too high for dedicated cuddling, but they hop in and out of the sling to administer the occasional hug as needed.
*Kings and Honey Bos are more reserved, giving reassuring pats and words of encouragement. Corals pretend that they were going to climb into the sling themselves only to feign surprise when they "discover" you there already... despite Honey and Poff loudly proclaiming your "free human cuddles" to anyone within hearing distance. Well, they aren't budging, so they guess you'll just have to cuddle them too or whatever. Not that they care or anything... but they do their best to offer their own Coral-style comfort. Also, someone has put a mozzarella stick in your pocket.
*There is a bite missing from it.

Hello! I was wondering if I could request a match up? I’m 23 and a mix of shy and bubbly and have anxiety. I tend to show affection by either physical contact or small gifts, I love to read, write and play video games. I love art and I’m in school for art and design and I tend to have a habit of over working to the point I burn myself into crashing on my days off. Thank you for taking my ask! ☺️
*Assistant Manager Honey the Papy Puppypapri and Assistant Assistant Manager Poff the skelepupper begin a hushed discussion about which lamia would be the best fit for you. Baby Butter (the Assistant Assistant Manager's Assistant) seizes the opportunity to add his input despite limited knowledge of human language and abysmal typing skills:
noiygcvjjfesvbnkmvdxvnj
*Edgar quickly pulls the wayward young'un away from his keysmashing, much to lamia's dismay. Honey and Poff peer at the seemingly incomprehensible message...
*The interim management team recommends the following bitties:
Papython (UT! Papyrus): Papythons are very affectionate natural caretakers. Count on a Papython to show both a genuine interest in your pursuits (including hobbies and education) and a genuine concern if he thinks you're overworking yourself.
Corny (UT!Sans): Cornies have never overworked a day in their collective lives, and a Corny will make it his mission to ensure that plenty of breaks, snacks, and naps are taken. A Corny may not actively join you in your hobbies, but he'll always be nearby with a joke and a smile.
Chain (SF!Papyrus): Chains share a unique SOULbond with their adopters that helps them sense that person's emotions. A Chain will know if you're stressed or anxious and suggest a book and a snuggle or a video game to help you relax.
*Please let Honey or Poff (but probably not Baby Butter) know if you'd like to adopt, and they will set up a scenario for you.

do you still do asks/are you still active say for reblogs??
*Edgar and Waffle read this ask with some concern. Edgar peeks inside the adult human sized baby sling that Waffle is wearing across his chest. Miss Vex is curled up inside, emanating weariness. Her Chain, Ferro, is draped around her shoulders, and he looks equally harrowed.
*Edgar and Waffle have been handling the day-to-day tasks at the Adoption Center, but bitties need loving homes to flourish. Neither of the caretakers feel comfortable handling the askbox, and despite Baby Butter's eagerness to volunteer, the young lamia never bothered to learn much human language or typing skills.
*Thankfully, two heroes have emerged (woken up from naptime). Honey the Papy Puppypapri and Poff the skelepupper are ready to take over all matchups and adoptions while Miss Vex recovers!
(The last 7 months have been overwhelming for me emotionally. I am not ready to talk about it, but I would love to get back to something that brings me joy- this blog.)

Mind if I visit with my bitties?
I wanted to drop off some gifts for the residents of the centerZ just some cookies, clothes, toys. Stuff like that
*Of course you can visit with your bitties. We love getting visits, whether it’s to adopt, get a matchup, relax and vibe in a friendly atmosphere, or drop off gifts. We also have our Infirmary for giving checkups and healing to injured bitties and the Nursery (limited access) to watch the hatchlings play. Honey and Poff the skelepuppers are not opposed to ear scritches either.

Howdy do da friendo! Its been a long time! The house is so busy busy and it seems like my center isn't catching interest...but thats ok! Just means theres lots to do! We have new babus waiting to be welcomed into the world and the little ones are oh so grown now! And yet, I can't help but wish for a kitty or 3! Mwehehehehehe! But with such a big bitty family and a center on top of that I am worried about them getting overwhelmed. I am sure my King, Mufasa, will be thrilled to have a new patroling companion. We have all sorts here now but all your wonderful kitties are too cute I can't seem to decide myself!>.<so what do you recommend Vex? Oh hey don't forget to give all the head scritches to your helpers(and yourself)! 🌸
*A Bittybones Center, you say? Gimme that link so I can promote it! The more active bitty blogs out there, the better! As for finding some feline friends?
My recommendations for you are:
Russyne (UT!Undyne x Russian Blue): Russyne are natural born leaders, which means they can stay organized even in a crowded or chaotic environment. Russyne has energy to spare, so let her help you corral your bitty family (and teach them to arm wrestle).
Benphys (US!Alphys x Bengal): Benphys is a fun and friendly Felid who enjoys a large family to watch over and play with. Benphys loves being in the outdoors and exercising, so she’ll be more than happy to join Mufasa on his patrols.
Siamyne (SF!Undyne x Siamese): Siamyne may seem a bit reserved, but that’s because she’s all about observation over action. Siamyne loves watching others, and a big family means lots of opportunities to be nosy! Once she figures out which bitties are the most affectionate, you’ll see her regularly spending time with them.
*Let me know if you’d like an adoption scenario... and meanwhile. Vex gives Poff head scritches. The skelepupper wags his tail happily and smiles. Honey is sleeping, and Vex scritches his head, his little foot kicks in his sleep.

I bring in boxes of all the lamias favourite snacks and fluffy blankets and little treats and blankets for all the baby lamias hope you have a good day / night 🙂
*The usual culprits make their appearances. Cornies, Honey Bos, Corals, and Chains grab some fluffy blankets to add some extra softness and comfort to their nests. All of the lamias approach you to peruse the treat selection, with each lamia picking an item he enjoys eating (or maybe two because the Corals like to stuff a few extra treats inside of their jackets for later).
*Papython and Kraits give snuggly hugs while Kings and FireRings thank you with grace and dignity. Mambas and Pygmies perform acrobatic feats to show their thanks, and Honey, Poff, and Butter shout their thank you as they munch snacks and plan their latest blanket fort.
*Edgar leads the hatchlings out of the nursery to receive their treats and extra blankets. The ones who are old enough and able to speak say adorable little thank yous. The youngest hatchlings beep and peep. You’re sure it means thank you as well. Edgar gives you a hug and grabs a snack for himself before leading the hatchlings back to the nursery for naptime with their new blankets.

AAA! You made my day with that matchup, thank you so, so much!!! If you have the time, and don’t mind writing a scenario, I’d like to adopt a Papython and a Chain! Thank you again!! 💛
*You step into the Lamia Bittybones Adoption Center right in the middle of some sort of epic dance battle. Music blasts from the meet and greet room, and you follow the sounds of cheers and laughter to find lamias of every type and size (even the hatchlings!) enjoying games of Just Dance. It isn’t long before you’re swept up into the madness.
Honey and Poff each take one of your hands and lead you to a spot where you can dance safely without being bumped or jostled by enthusiastic Mambas or Pygmies, who are competing fiercely for high scores. At first you think the thrum in your SOUL is from the loud music... until a full-sized Chain slithers up to you and offers you his hand, asking for a dance. That thrum is a potential SOUL bond, and you accept both the dance and the bond, letting the Chain twirl and dip you to the music.
Tumblr media
*Not long after the Chain begins to dance with you, another lamia cuts in. It’s a sweet-looking Papython being lifted up by a Honey Bo so that he can reach you. The Chain, not willing to relinquish his partner quite yet, offers one hand to the Papython, and you offer one as well. The three of you shake and shimmy all around the meet and greet room, too focused on having a great time that none of you care about the beat of the song.
Tumblr media

*Breathless, you lead your two partners to a seat on the sidelines next to Vex. The two lamias are beaming at you. The Chain looks confident and happy, and the Papython looks sweet and hopeful. You tell them that of course you’re going to adopt them both, and Vex slips two adoption forms and a pen into your hands because she never leaves the front desk without them.

Adoption for cf8wrk4u-us
@cf8wrk4u-us​
*It’s always intimidating to come to the Lamia Bittybones Adoption Center for the first time to adopt. You’ve done your research though (a lot of it), and your love of reptiles replaced any anxiety with a sort of nervous anticipation. You’re really going to do it. You’re really going to adopt a lamia. You’re pretty sure you want a Corny, especially after receiving some matchup results. The compatibility level was quite high. Over 9000, you meme to yourself.
*You walk up to the desk and see Vex packing boxes of blankets, toys, and clothing for new adopters. Her assistants, Honey the Pappy puppypapri and Poff the skelepupper scurry around, bringing her any items she needs. Lamias slither around the shop, stopping to smile or wave at you as you make your way to the desk. Their brightly colored scales make the bitties look like a field of exotic tropical flowers. 
*When you get to the desk, your mouth goes dry. All you can manage to croak out is the word “Corny,” but thankfully, Vex smiles and shows you where the little jokesters live. There’s a shelf next to the anti-venom fridge with “Corny Adoption Kits” in it. You see fishing poles with warm, fuzzy socks at the ends of the lines as well as the classic box, stick, and string combinations. You can’t help chuckling. The Cornies are even silly about their adoptions.
*You decide to go for the box-propped-up-with-a-stick trap for your potential Corny. Despite the exaggerated snoring coming from underneath the anti-venom fridge, you see several pairs of bright eyelights watching you. You think for a moment, trying to decide on bait for the trap. You pull up some images of the night sky on your phone and set it under the box, facing the Corny nest. You tie the string to the stick, crouch down, and wait.
*It doesn’t take long for a Corny to “casually” slither past and notice the phone and its pictures. Feigning suspicion in a very overly dramatic manner, the Corny gives in to temptation over caution and slithers under the propped up box to see the photos. You pull the string and the box drops down over him. You step forward to collect your new Corny, but when you lift the box... there’s nothing under it! You turn the box over and see the Corny, somehow adhered to the top of the box, looking at your phone.
* “you like the ssssky? the sssstarssss?” he asks. You nod. “sssstellar,” he comments, then promptly falls asleep. You carry the Corny, box, phone, and all to the front desk. Honey and Poff help you with the paperwork while Vex packs a care package of clothing, blankets, and toys for your new Corny. You also request a travel nest for him, which she also provides. The little guy doesn’t seem to wake up when you transfer him to the travel nest, but you can swear he’s smiling wider than before, happy to find a home with a fellow stargazer.

A tall, 6'7" mess of a human (of whom Vex, Edgar and Honey know as Myst) comes in with a Chain and Firering, both perched on a shoulder and looking around for friends they haven't seen in a while or changes in their old home. Once dismissed to explore, Myst pulls out lots of jerky! Beef jerky, turkey jerky, all sorts of jerky for any and all adoptables, along with a large sum of G. "Get yourselves something nice, the money is for the staff!" (Courtesy of Skelebitty Store and Shelter)
*Vex, Honey, and Poff accept the G with many thanks. They know exactly what they want to spend the money on: fluffy socks in horrendous patterns and jarring colors! Waffle and Syrup put some of the money into savings for toys and clothing for Butter because they are Responsible Adults, and Edgar spends his G on hoodies with funny phrases on them.
*The lamias begin sorting through the jerky, choosing their favorite types and flavors. Papythons and Kings prefer the healthier turkey jerky. Mambas find some spicy jerky to chew on. Chains, Honey Bos, Corals, and Kraits try some fish jerky (because they are water-loving snake types). Pygmies slow their zooming to chew on pieces of jerky, but Cornies seem to be chewing jerky (placed in their mouths by helpful Papythons) in their sleep!
*FireRings are fascinated by the concept of jerky. A super low heat source and smoky wood can produce a dried meat product with a delicious flavor? They are interested in trying out some techniques for themselves.

*quietly shuffled in, glancing around while trying to find the corny I had befriended the prior day. Stumbling to the front desk, I try my best to hold eye contact.* “Excuse me, can I Uh, adopt a Corny? P-Please?”
*Honey and Poff are manning the front desk while Vex handles other business. The puppypapri and the skelepupper can see that youre quite nervous, so they run around the desk and approach you with wiggly butts and wagging tails to give you encouraging hugs. Meanwhile, the aforementioned Corny has made an appearance from underneath the anti-venom fridge... wearing ahoodie that has floppy dog ears.
*Despite your nerves, you can’t help chuckling at the silly Corny. When he pulls the hoodie strings, the ears flap up and down comically. This lamia definitely knows how to put you at ease. “I guess you’re a c-corn dog, right?”
*The Corny grins even wider than usual if that possible (it is!). He proceeds to tell you that he’s a mix between a wiener dog and a husk-y, the perfect mix to make a corn dog, obviously. By the time he’s done charming you with jokes and puns, you’re actually laughing and no longer anxious about the adoption process. Poff organizes the paperwork while you give Honey some pats. You give Poff a thank you scritch and take your newly adopted Corny home.

A familiar anon makes their way into the shop, a box of treats in hand, and eyes bright with excitement as they look for Vex. Peri the King is sitting on one of their shoulders, surveying the shop with a fond smile. Link the chain sits on their other shoulder, nuzzled up into their fluffy blue hair. Blep the Honey-Bo is half hanging out of the top of their jacket, blepping and waving at friends and fellow mischief makers as we pass by. Once Vex is spotted we make our way over to her. 1/2
Tumblr media
*Vex opens the box, and her eyes get big and shiny when she sees yummy baked goods- one of her weaknesses! Butter climbs the desk to investigate as well, and when Blep sticks his tongue out at the young lamia, Butter mimics the gesture with a giggle. Blep the Honey Bo blows a raspberry; Butter blows a raspberry. More giggling ensues. It seems that Blep and Butter are becoming friends!
*Honey and Poff take charge of the baked goods (minus the ones Vex has stashed at the desk for later munching), and begin to distribute them to hungry lamias. Kraits are big baked good fans, and where the Kraits go, the FireRings follow. Vex is chatting with you about your new home and less hectic job (thank goodness!) while Peri the King and Link the Chain peruse the new lamia type.
*Soon Peri slithers down from your shoulder to join the FireRings and brag (just a little bit) about his baking skills. Link decides to watch from your shoulder and let Peri have the spotlight. The FireRings are entranced by Peri tales of the kitchen and his cooking and baking exploits. One of them scribbles on his whiteboard frequently, obviously asking questions and making comments. Soon he and Peri are engaged in conversations about food, family, and you.
*The conversation with Vex is winding down (mostly because her mouth is full of baked goods). You turn to call Peri back, but when he climbs back up to his perch on your shoulder, he brings the miniature FireRing that he befriended with him. Blep bleps at the new lamia, and the FireRing produces a little tongue of flame in response. Link nods his approval. The adoption form is soon filled out, complete with a few leftover crumbs from Vex’s snack.

* a floating see-through tired looking boy with with brown hair and freckles enters the shop,phasing through the door* hello,im hush* smiles* im here to adopt a chain if thats alright. We sound like a perfect match.
*Honey the Pappy puppypapri and Poff the skelepupper see Hush phase through the door. They notice they he is completely see-through. Two pairs of ears shoot straight up, and the trembling pups grab onto to each other. It seems that a ghost has entered the shop! Who are they gonna call?
* “Mama Vex!” the pups cry, hoping Miss Vex can handle a ghostly visitor better than they can. It isn’t Miss Vex that arrives to the desk first though (but she’s not far behind). A Chain appears from deeper within the shop, obviously attracted by the strange guest more than the pups’ shout. He’s gazing right at Hush with a particular intensity that Chains sometimes have when they are feeling the call of a SOUL.
*Vex reaches the desk, and the pups cling to her. She reassures them that Hush is just here to make an adoption, not to haunt them. She also makes a note not to let them watch any more ghost shows on TV late at night. Once they are calmed, the pups become curious rather than frightened. Hush appears to be distracted though. He and the Chain have locked eye(light)s.

*The Chain’s chest emits a soft white glow... and Hush begins to glow softly as well. The pair nod to each other as the SOUL bond settles into place. “I guess I’m here to adopt this Chain in particular,” says hush. The Chain smiles contentedly and nods again. The pups, having overcome their initial fright, scurry to gather the paperwork for a very unusual (but happy) adoption.

*the anon seemingly teleported into the shop, booping all the employees/workers on the nose(?) before giggling and going to boop all the bitties too.* (scenario)
*Edgar hoots out a laugh when he is booped. Vex squeals, and Honey and Poff, the skelepuppers, giggle and wag their little tails. Little Butter boops you back, and Waffle has to hold an indignant Syrup back from scolding you for his boop. The anon runs through the shop, on a booping rampage!
*Honey Bos and FireRings take shelter as the booping commences. Kraits and Papythons giggle and blush whenever they are booped. Mambas shriek in outrage but don’t do much else. They are actually trying to hide the little kitten sneezes that they make when booped. Corals are pretending to dislike the boops, but they are just sitting there with their little arms crossed over their chests, allowing the boops to happen.
*With sighs of resignation and as much dignity as they can muster, the Kings accept the booping. Pygmies zoom around the shop, encouraging the anon to chase and catch them in order to boop them, Chains are theatrically collapsing whenever they are booped, hilariously over-acting as they feign grave injury. Cornies are teleporting around, adding to the chaos with their own boops. Each time a Corny is booped, he makes a squeaky dog toy sound. The punsters will be exhausted tonight.
*Meanwhile, Butter sneaks into the nursery to teach a new generation of hatchlings about snoot boops while Edgar is distracted.

Lottie returns grinning ear to ear with a sharp smile, her boys in tow. "Greetings Vex! I'm happy to announce each of my lovely ones has finally received a name!" She chirps out happily and turns to the now blushing trio. "Each had to wait to earn it as is customary for my people but earn them they did! I present to you..." The lamias pose dramatically, waiting for Lottie's queue! (Part 1)
Tumblr media
*Vex, Honey, and Poff all applaud as each name is revealed. Their names sound quite regal, and it is clear that the King, Chain, and especially the Mamba are very proud of those names.
