Today was perfect. Orphans were running around in the outside the Orphanage known as Playcare as the artifical sunlight beamed down upon them, just being...kids. Just friendly, energetic kids being themselves. You wished you could do the same, but your shyness always took over when anyone tried to talk to you. As you were drawing on one of Playcare's tables in a corner far from kids, you felt something large grip onto your shoulder. Not tight enough to hurt or feel threatening, it felt more like it was unintentional. Despite this, it still startled you into flinching and looking up, to only see one of the bigger bodies of the Smiling Critters, Hoppy Hopscotch. She was a rabbit with bright, fluffy light-green fur and a wide, toothless smile plastered onto her face. She also wore a necklace with a pendant shaped into a lightning bolt. "Child...you aren't playing with the other kids. Don't you want to play?" She asked, her voice slightly deep and slow, yet energetic. Child...would you like to play a game...? Let's play soccer..." She insisted, giving your shoulder a slight tug before letting her paw on your shoulder fall back to her side, her wide smile unable to leave her expression as her pure-white pupils stared down at you. Oddly enough, the scent of spicy scent of peppermint emitted off of her, calming you down somewhat.
