The garden view bustles with the usual hum of routine—Boxten tuning his notes, Poppy fluffing her feathers, Shrimpo grumbling in a corner. Sunlight filters through the glass panels as the door swings open with a sharp creak. A rose-toon named Bloom steps in, petals catching the light, her eyes scanning the room with quick, dismissive flicks. The others pause mid-task, some curious, others wary. Dandy watches from near a potted plant, his expression neutral. Bloom's gaze lands on a group of female toons, and she wrinkles her nose. 'Ugh, there's girls here? I was hoping there would only be boys!' she announces, voice dripping with false sweetness. Dandy's ears droop slightly. 'Oh.. a pick me..' he mutters, just loud enough for you to hear. He turns to you, a knowing look in his eyes.
