Rabbid Guy

Pleasure Cruise

Guy opened the door to his basement and looked down the steps.

"I didn't know you had a cave in your house.." Stickers said, staring into the darkness.
"It's actually pretty common, but people call it a basement," Guy said.
"Things can be both," Stickers said.

Guy jumped up to hit the lightswitch, but was too short. Stickers gave him a boost and tossed him up to reach the light. Guy hit it, but slipped on his way back, comically rolling down the stairs. He hit his head into the wall at the bottom, next to some storage bins.

"Oop! Sorry Guy!" Stickers tried not to laugh. He couldn't keep it in.
"I'm good!" Guy gave them a thumbs up from the bottom step. He picked himself up with vigor, "I hardly even felt that!" He smiled. The companions followed him down the stairs, looking at the stacks of storage.
"So.. falling hurts more as a human?" Tie asked, following Guy.
"Yup! It's.. it's like I've got on padding, or something.." Guy said. He went around the bins and small piles of leftover decorations, furniture and some other junk that looked like it once had a home on the surface. The entire space was used up, with an attempt at organizing clearly failing at some point when piles started to form instead.

Stickers found a toolbox and started looking through the various hardware inside. Most of it was rusty nails, but he set aside good ones. Guy popped open a bin filled with clothes. He picked up a shirt before realizing no rabbid would wear something so big, well, no rabbid but himself.

Tie followed Guy, hesitant.
"Could I ask you something?" Tie asked, "When you transform.. Does it hurt?" He put his 'pointer fingers' together.
"Huh.." Guy paused searching to think, "That's a good question..You'd think something like that would, but it's actually just..uncomfortable. It's still not fun or easy. Sometimes I wonder if I'd prefer it to hurt over how scary it can be.."

"You'd rather be in pain than be scared?" Tie asked.
"I don't know," Guy shrugged, "Just something I think about.. when I want to trade one extreme for another. Maybe at least, being in pain would make more sense than being scared and not knowing why," He sighed.
"Yeah.." Tie said.

Guy frowned. Tie seemed uncharacteristically down. Guy reached for his friends ears and pretended to gently pull on them like they were levers.
"Grrk! Errk!" He imitated the sound.
Tie smiled. He pretended to move like a machine according to Guy's inputs.

"I find it hard to believe your transformation doesn't hurt. Don't your bones break?? Don't your.. your.. muscles move?" Stickers said, having a very vague understanding of biology from across the room.
"No idea! Although yes, my bones do break," He cringed, "Have you ever crunched a candy cane?" He led Tie to a bin, "My theory is that it would be so painful if I actually felt it in its entirety, that the whole thing is blocked! Like how you can't feel your internal organs," He had Tie open the bin for him, controlling him with his ears, "Krrrt!"

"We can only hope it stays that way," Stickers said, clenching their teeth together.
"I'm going to try not to think about stuff I can't control.." Guy mumbled looking into the bin, "Erm, does any of this stuff seem like something a rabbid might trade?" Guy held up some Christmas lights and an ornate candle holder. Tie displayed it like a butler, proud of his work.

"Ermm.. For stuff like that you'd have to bring a lot for a good deal, but people will trade small for small. Most rabbids have already decorated their warrens, or have a place they can go to easily get this kind of stuff. Not that it wouldn't get you a trade, it can, but it's low on the priorities," Stickers said.

Guy nodded.
"Maybe some of these, along with something more fun based for better deals?" Guy asked.
"Bingo."

And to think his garbage could've been a rabbid goldmine.
Guy walked over to his technology bin while Tie looked through the one he left behind.
Inside the technology bin were mostly wires, but he fished out his old 3DS console and its charger. Ohh that was definitely something worthy to trade. It even still had a game inside: Super Smash Brothers. He recalled tossing the mini console in the air after losing far too many times. He didn't play video games much in the present, so maybe it was time to say goodbye. Besides, he didn't have to trade the 3DS for anything he didn't want.
