For the uninitiated, "Viva Piñata" is a game and a cartoon series, both sponsored by Microsoft. (It's a game for the 360.) In both, living Piñatas walk around and talk, and occasionally get broken, spilling their candy... which other piñatas then eat.
You see why Velvet is a lit-tle creeped out by this concept. Admittedly, the piñatas get all patched up afterward, good as new... but still, the concept's a little much for someone as young-at-heart-and-mind as Velvet.
(This may be why the series has two characters that, even though they're piñatas, do not want to get broken! To quote Fergy Fudgehog, "I don't wanna get bashed to pieces with a stick!")
