Description

Had the silly idea of Arin having a hard time keeping track of the young, energetic Oliver after he was born, and eventually remembered that he's not bound to mortal limits on appearance anymore. No longer being mortal has its occasional perks. It's been established in the Housepets comic that when in Heaven, people can change their appearance there as they please. So it made sense that changes out of convenience would be common, such as a pouch on a male marsupial. Kinda imagine the conversation going like this;

Macabre and Mirage are picking up Oliver from Arin's residence
Macabre</b>: "Thank you for looking after him, Dad."
Mirage: "From the looks of things, he gave you a run for your money?"
Arin, exhausted: "Yes...I've dealt with energetic joeys before, but this kid is really something else."
Macabre: "He's quite the slippery little devil, is he not?"
Arin: "Frankly, I started thinking about getting me one of those baby carriers. Easier to keep track of him in one of those."
Mirage: "But, you're a kangaroo, right?"
Arin: "Um, yes. Why is that relevant all of a sudden?"
Mirage: "Why don't you keep Oliver in a pouch?"
Arin: "Mirage, I don't know how many kangaroos you've met in your travels, but only females have pouches. Males like me don't."
Mirage: "But, you're not a mortal anymore. Heaven removes limits."
Arin: "..."
Macabre: "All who are here are free to alter how they are, Dad."
Arin: "..."
Mirage: "This should have been covered in Orientation. Did you forget that you could change your form however you like in any way?"
Arin: "..."
Arin looks down at his abdomen, and a pouch suddenly manifests
Arin, dumbfounded: "This. Changes. Everything."
Macabre: "And there we go."
Mirage: "Macabre, don't be surprised if we visit one day and your dad is some incomprehensible entity."
