(3rd Person POV)

Synopsis: A certain demonic bunny decides to try and terrify Limon while they still have the chance.

"Do you think it's a good idea?" IceT queried to her feathered friend as she held out a picture of various crocheted fish and aquatic coral on her brown, iced tea themed phone case. "I mean, it's important to keep up with the latest trends so we can make profit, and this isn't in style right now."

"If underwater decorations aren't popular, then make them popular. There's nothing wrong with starting a trend, right?" Cwacker suggested, a white pekin duck who had recently been hired as an employee at Crafty Corner.

She had a bright orange beak and white feathers adorning her, the duck's job being to assist the diverse patrons that wandered into the shop. "Plus, it'd make for a nice promotion here."

"That's a good point," IceT said aloud, looking back to her phone before she turned her head to the feathered owl beside her. "Limon, what do you think?"

"I agree with her: there's nothing wrong with trying something out of the ordinary," Limon replied as she moved out from behind the wooden cashier counter. "Cwacker, you're okay if we switch tasks for a bit, right? I'd rather walk around and help out, if you know what I mean."

"I got you, Limon. I could probably use a sit-down anyways," The duck reasoned, she and the owl switching places as IceT walked away to be of use to anyone who needed the mouse.

As Cwacker sat down behind the counter's wooden stool, Limon began wandering around the shop, happy to be able to stretch her wings after so long. Unknown to the owl, a certain bunny was watching her from outside Crafty Corner, binoculars in paw as they viewed Limon from within a bush positioned parallel to the shop.

"I can't believe how boring this is," Iscream commented to themself, putting away the binoculars to sigh and putting a paw to their cheek, a tired expression on their face paired with a frown.

Ever since the demonic bunny and the wish dragon had heard about Chikin's interest in Crafty Corner's co-manager, they both had taken turns monitoring the shop along with IceT to learn more about the mouse.

"But are you suuuuure it's that important?"

"Yes, Iscream! I'm getting more worried about the prophecy, and we can't slip up on this! If there's a chance that it could be prevented, we have to take it."

"What makes you think Chikin having a girlfriend is gonna prevent him from warping all of reality?"

"...Love can make people change," Was all Fwench Fwy said before leaving to learn more about the mouse that had captured the demigod's heart.

The demonic bunny hadn't understood what Fwench Fwy was implying, but had reluctantly agreed anyways, leading them to this moment where they were intensely studying IceT's feathered friend.

From the first moment they met, Iscream was determined to scare the living daylights out of Limon and see what their true, terrified expression looked like.

The owl seemed like a calm, rational individual at first glance, but Iscream knew that everyone had a breaking point where their fear would get the better of them.

Iscream relished the feeling of making someone feel spooked and scared out of their mind, watching them shake and tremble in their position as they struggled to get a word out.

The bunny chuckled to themselves upon remembering IceT's first reaction to their ghastly act of threatening to spill glitter over the wooden floor of Crafty Corner, the mouse's pink tail quaking as her eyes shook with horror.
