- (Probably not abusive enough.)
- TRADING PLACES
- You're a baby fluffy
- Your Mummah says you're a pointy-friend.
- That means you have a little horn on your heady
- And THAT means you're special!
- Mummah doesn't have a horn
- But she has the silkiest, strokiest, prettiest pinky mane
- And the bestest, softest, most wonderful green fluff!
- All the Bright-time, and often in the Dark-times
- Hoomins walk through the World
- Ever since you opened your eyes, you've loved to watch them.
- You want to say Hello!
- Mummah says No.
- You have to hide in your safe-spot
- Hidden behind the Biggest Metal Things.
- Whenever you try to wave or talk to one of them, Mummah stops you.
- "Nuuuu! Babbeh, nu wet tuu-weggie munstahs see yu!" she says.
- "Hoomins meanie! Hoomins huwt fwuffies!"
- Sometimes she even boops your nosie.
- Silly Mummah.
- You just KNOW that that the hoomins would love you if they saw you.
- You practice making huggies-please leggies
- You practice going dancie-dancie.
- You practice smiling.
- When you do these things for Mummah, she gives you big huggies
- And feeds you her wonderful milkies, if she has some
- And if she doesn't, some nice big-fluffy nummies (if they're soft).
- And even if there are no nummies or milkies
- She gives you wonderful Mummah-cuddles and calls you Bestest Babbeh!
- Even though you're her only baby, you still know she's right.
- And if a hoomin saw your dancies
- Or your huggies-please leggies or your smile
- They'd be SURE to know that you were the bestest baby too!
- Then they'd love you and want to take you and Mummah Home
- Be Nyu Daddah or Mummah.
- You're not sure where Home is.
- Must be one of the places that hoomins go when they're not in the World.
- One morning a hoomin stops near your safe-spot.
- He has a black boxy-thing in one hand
- A white puffy-stickie in the other.
- You're hiding in Mummah's fluff, just like she taught you
- Even though you're bigger now, and it's harder.
- She's asleep but you, you're wide awake!
- You hear the hoomin talking on his boxy-thing.
- "...What? Dropped it? Dropped it how..?"
- *puffff*
- "How bad is it? Can't we just shoot him sitting down?.."
- The hoomin sounds cross and sad.
- You just KNOW you could make him happy!
- "...Crap. Okay, can't we just grab another one out of foal storage..? "
- *pufffff*
- "...WHAT gas leak..?
- You sneak out of Mummah's fluff
- Out of the safe spot
- You waddle to the hoomin's side and start doing your baby dancies.
- Everyone must love baby dancies!
- "...Fine, I'll think of something. Christ."
- The hoomin puts away his talky-boxy.
- You dance harder, smile more pretty
- "Fwend?" you squeak.
- "What the..?"
- The hoomin bends down. He puts out his hand.
- You're going to get pettins!
- Your first ever hoomin pettins!
- "OWWIE!"
- The hoomin has grabbed your neck-fluff and picked you up.
- That's not how you give a babbeh pettins!
- You make owwie-peeps, but he doesn't let go!
- "Huh. Well, ordinarily I'd be punting you into oblivion
- But someone just wrecked our last foal. I guess you're up."
- He grabs you round your middle
- "Huggies?" you say.
- Instead, he SQUEEEEEEZES you!
- You make a lot of poopies and peepee
- And you have even more owwies!
- "Yeeeep! Nu wike skishy huggies!"
- "Don't want you crapping everywhere on the way up."
- The hoomin wipes your poopie-place on a metal thing
- Then walks off with you.
- "Nyu daddah?" you ask, hopefully.
- "Sure, whatever."
- "Mummah! Bwing Mummah tuu! Babbeh nee' Mummah!"
- "Sure. I'll send a limo round to pick her up."
- "Yaaay!"
- You don't know who Limo is.
- He must be one of your new Daddy's friends.
- "And all the other little feral shit-rats.
- And then I'll open a happy little shit-rat hotel..."
- You're not really listening.
- The hoomin has taken you out of the World!
- Everywhere is so BIG!
- The hoomin opens a wall and goes inside
- Then another wall
- Now you're in a funny boxie with other hoomins.
- "What the heck is that?"
- "Viola's new co-star. Found him in the alley."
- "Viola won't be happy, working with a feral."
- "She's never happy with anything."
- "Hah! True."
- "Besides, I'll take him to the Gents on the way over.
- Stick the little freak under a tap. She'll never know the difference."
- "He really is the spit of Altair, isn't he?"
- "Right down to the horn."
- New Daddy takes you to a loud place that no-smell-pretty
- Hoomins are doing smelly things in little rooms.
- He puts you in a round, smooth place with a hole at the bottom.
- Then he makes water happen!
- Scaredy-poopies and peepees come, but the water takes them away.
- "Yeep! Bad fow babbeh! Wa-wa bad fow babbeh!" you squeak.
- Nyu daddeh doesn't even listen, just rubs stingy stuff all over you!
- It makes your fluff sticky!
- You make saddies.
- He boops your nosie!
- "Quitcha bitchin', shit-rat."
- Then he takes you to a wall-monster
- He boops it, and it growls a hot growl all over you!
- You have no more scaredy-poopies or peepees left.
- At least the monster's hot growls scare the water away from your fluff.
- Your fluff goes POMPF.
- You've never been fluffier!
- Then he takes you to a loud bright place
- There is another baby there!
- She is purple and a wingie-friend!
- "Huggies?" you say.
- She sniffs you.
- "Yu nu Awtaw," she says accusingly.
- "Babbeh am Babbeh! Wan pway?"
- She blows raspberries and turns her back."
- "Wahhhh..." you start to say.
- "Viola, play nice with the new baby, or no sketties!" says a hoomin.
- "Hmmp. Otay. Veeohwa pway wif dummeh babbeh."
- You try to play with the other baby, but something funny is happening.
- Hoomins keep shouting "CUT!"
- And picking you up and putting you down again.
- They wave nummies at you to make you go this way or that way
- But then don't give you the nummies!
- Sometimes they make you do the same thing a lot of times.
- If you huuhuu, you get your nosie booped.
- Viola is a naughty baby
- She won't do what the nice hoomins tell her.
- She gets her nosie booped even more than you do.
- Eventually she has too many boops
- Just sits and huuhuuhs and can't stop.
- "Jesus, someone shut her up so we can go again," growls a cross hoomin.
- Silly hoomins! Don't they know that babies need huggies for huuhuus?
- You give Viola huggies. She's surprised, then coos happily and hugs back.
- "Quick! Get this!"
- "Fantastic. Altair never does that."
- "No, the little bastard just laughs if one of the other babies cries..."
- "This is gold. Gold."
- They like seeing babies give huggies? Well, of course they would.
- The other baby is a bit happier now
- So you let go of her and do your baby dancies instead.
- "What's it doing?"
- "It's dancing!"
- "Oh, my God. I could never get Altair to do that."
- "Hate to admit it, but that's actually pretty cute."
- The purple baby is laughing.
- The hoomins are happy.
- This is your best day ever!
- You knew hoomins would love you!
- You want to hug everyone!
- You make huggies-please leggies.
- "Huggies?" you say.
- "D'awww!" say the hoomins.
- You start to miss your Mummah a little.
- But then you get sketties.
- They are the best nummies you're EVER tasted!
- You're pretty sure Mummah's OK
- With Limmo at that ship-wrap hotel, or whatever.
- You'll ask later.
- "So... what kind of recovery time are we looking at for Altair..?
- That long, huh? And the vet's bill to fix the leg...?"
- "..."
- "No, no, I think I've got a better idea."
- Be Altair
- Be a STAR!
- Hoomin teebee can't happen without Altair.
- You get bestest huggies and bestest nummies
- Bestest blankies to snuggle on
- And bestest pretty babbeh-friends to play with.
- If you don't like them, they get taken away
- And you never have to see them again.
- You have an owwie leggie because a dummy hoomin dropped you.
- Well, he shouldn't have been picking you up!
- You SAID "nu upsies!" and he ignored you.
- It's okay to wriggle if people are giving you no-wan upsies.
- But today you couldn't be on teebee.
- Now you're getting no-wan upsies AGAIN!
- Don't they ever learn?
- "Whewe takin Awtaw, dummeh hoomin? Dis Awtaw show! Wat doin wif Awtaw?"
- "Yeah, you're not going to be doing Babies! with us anyore, Altair."
- "Wah?"
- "Nope. Your leg got wrecked when you wriggled away from your handler."
- "Babbeh.... weggie... get... fowevew-owwies?"
- "Yep."
- "Huuhuuhuu! Babbeh nee' weggie! Pwease hewp Awtaw weggie!"
- "Nah. You're not worth it.
- Don't worry. I've got another role I think you'll be perfect for."
- "Yeeeep! Wy dwop Awtaw? Awtaw weggie huwtin! Awtaw nee huggies!"
- *snf* *snf*
- "Nu wike dis pwace! Nu smew pwetty!"
- "Yeah, well, this is your new set."
- "Wah? Nyu set? Bu... whewe bwockies? Whewe baww?
- Whewe pwetty babbeh-fwends?"
- "No blocks, no ball.
- And the only friends you'll have out here are other feral fluffies."
- "Fuh-fewaws..?"
- "Yep. You're now the new star of 'Ferals'. Enjoy."
- "Awtaw nu am fewaw! Awtaw am bestes babbeh!
- Nu weave bestes babbeh! HUUHUUHUU..!"
- Be Altair
- Be sitting in the alley in a pile of your own scaredy peepee and poopies
- No hoomins to pick you up and wash you
- Just a huge, stinky feral with filthy green fluff lumbering towards you.
- It beams around the item clamped in its disgusting teeth:
- A dented, rust can of yikky-smelling stuff!
- You're going to be sick!
- "'Ook, A-gee!" says the feral, setting down the can.
- "Mummah fine nummies!"
- It thinks you're its baby!
- And it expects you to EAT that stinking mess!
- You're Altair! You get sketties and cookies!
- Not no-smell-pretty dirty nummies!
- But that was Before...
- You look around for the hoomin
- He's really gone.
- You're really stuck here.
- A feral.
- You start to make saddies
- The biggest saddies of your life.
