In "Highly Irregular" - part of Crooked V1 - Sloane wears bunny slippers. It's a great detail and brings to mind the scene in 2001 where the Pan Am Stewardess is walking in zero-gee. Where did the bunny slippers come from? Are they yours? Or is this a detail from someone else you know?

This is such a great question, thank you for asking it!
I have never had bunny slippers, though I do have a reindeer pair that I like a lot :) I think the image of bunny slippers in space amused me, and in general I love weird details that don't quite fit.
Alex particularly wears the slippers (Sloane does note them) because it's also a really big contrast to her pre-story situation. She's a scientist whose life work has basically gone down the drain, and for Alex wearing bunny slippers where anyone else might see them would definitely define rock bottom.
Not for me, to be clear. I'd wear them anywhere and everywhere!
