Hutch

“Stuck between a rock and a hard place” was a NICE way of putting it. As soon as Hutch puts on their “business face” it’s almost as if that awkward stutter that Kain caught back when they first got acquainted was thrown out the window… and seemed to ESPECIALLY be tucked to the side when this new imp-taming lady came into the picture. Quince seemed like a nice lady for sure… but watching those tw...

Waizatsu held Squishy, his Jellsi, close as he walked into the Imporium, wanting to make sure that he had everything he needed, and that he knew how to give proper care to a Jellsi. He worried slightly that Squishy may not get along with Iyashi, his Uniqor, or Nuggie, his Impup, but had decided that instead of panicking, he'd raise his questions to Hutch. He stood in the lobby, waiting for Hutch to notice him. Eventually, Hutch came over, and Waizatsu waved at them slightly nervously. ...

Andi was as prompt as she could be to the Imporium, as per Hutch’s request.  She was eager to see what such a renowned bun could teach her impup to do - and if she would be deemed worthy to adopt their imps!  Wave was less excited, having opted to snooze in the pocket of Andi’s hoodie.

Admittedly, just doing whatever other buns asked of her (for the most part), was pretty standard for Andi.  Making decisions by thinking...

Unlike probably most of the world, Hutch looked forward to going to work more than to going home at the end of the day. There was nothing more rewarding than to see imps become used to spending time with each other, learn tricks (for those of a more receptive temperament, as sometimes they did not mesh as well with him as they did their future owners), and be given to a loving owner. Imps had such incredible potential for learning and loving that it was hard to not care for them as much as ...

“And t-that… is the proper methodology for general chirop training. No extra sweets, just a handful of sesame seeds, a sesame treat or two, and lots of dedication.”“… I see.” Kain looked on with an enthusiastically raised eyebrow as Hutch tossed a seed into the air… and the chirop flew right over and caught it in the middle of the air. Kain whistled a low, surp...
