[1] 87 Days Until Easter

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Bunnymund is quite used to having Weird Things happen to him. It's just what you deal with when you become a Guardian, and you need to roll with the punches. That's not to say he wasn't worried when he woke up in an actual bedroom in a place he'd never been before. Far from it. He was VERY worried.

It didn't help that his tunnels didn't get him anywhere familiar either. Still, he's held off on panicking completely until night has come, and Paradisa's big blue moon looms high in the sky. Anyone who believes in the existence of the Easter Bunny will see a 6'1 rabbit, standing on the roof, apparently having a conversation with the moon. A very one sided conversation]

Okay. I get that you have your cryptic ways and we just need to deal with them, but I really don't understand what I'm doing here. This isn't Earth, and I thought I was needed there more than anywhere. So if you could give me a few pointers, explain what you want me to do here? She'll be apples. [Silence] Anything at all. [Silence] No? Ripper. Thanks for nothing.

[Muttering a little darkly to himself, he finally opens the journal, watching the words form into it as he speaks. They might not be able to HEAR him, but he wonders if this stupid magical book will let them see the WORDS he speaks. Okay. Speaking to the mortals. He can do this]

I've been leafing through this magical book since I rocked up in this place, and I figure I've got most of this mess figured out. But I've got an important question. Why're you talking about New Years? Is it January here? [Because if it is, well, that's his prep time sliced MORE than in half]

Comments

Dictated - (Journal reads written, it counts as written? Maybe?)

[radiantwingedone]

Cold enough to be. Although not as cold as it was. Castle seems to no longer be made of ice....

aww yis

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

...Hold up.

What do you mean it was made of ice?

[Frost you skite WERE YOU HERE?!!]

[radiantwingedone]

For a ... five days, or so, castle was not stone. Heard movements similar to... [ What was that other word for them- ]

.. Penguins? The birds that don't fly. And bears. Journal mentioned gaining drinks from the bears...

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Heard movements?

I heard that already. That's...pretty loopy.

[radiantwingedone]

Heard.

[ Agreeing. He can't see, okay. ]

Not as strange as when the castle is no longer a castle.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[That's strange, but Bunny doesn't push the subject. Not right away, anyway]

How can a castle stop being a castle?

[radiantwingedone]

By being a city. Or flooding enough that all must be pulled from the water.

[ A tad bit grumpy sounding. He hates those changes... ]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Because being a kidnapping castle isn't enough?

[radiantwingedone]

It feeds off of emotions, like distress and frustration. Why would simply being a castle be enough?

[ Wry and bitter? Yes. ]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Well, that sounds uncomfortably familiar]

So it feeds off bad feelings?

[radiantwingedone]

I would assume any; bad feelings are simply easiest to get, as most find the same things... hard to tolerate. Between the entry 'fee' and the various... things, the castle does.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Has anyone ever seen what controls the castle? What it looks like?

[radiantwingedone]

Have understood it is the castle itself. Would not know what it looks like even if has been sighted.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[COULD Pitch pull something off like this? It would require so much power, more than the boogeyman should be capable of since his latest defeat. Still...it's a worry]

Something has to be controlling it.

[radiantwingedone]

As understood it, castle is sentient.

[ Lets try clarification. ]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

...It's not impossible, but it's very unusual. Usually something has to set off magic like that.

[radiantwingedone]

There have been expeditions out of the lands of this castle - apparently there .. were, others. I have not gone on any, so further knowledge on this would best acquired from others.

And yes, would agree.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

My tunnels headed out past the castle, but they were stopped by some...force field? Something or other. I couldn't get all that far out, but if there are other castles, then maybe that's our answer.

[radiantwingedone]

[ Tunnels? ]

As far as aware, 'was' other castles. There is also an area called Dead Zone. Mostly aware that cannot connect to there from here, with magic.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

...That would be what was stopping me then. Ripper. [This day keeps getting better]

[radiantwingedone]

[ Ripper is used as 'great', in the 'not great' sense, right? ]

If it aids, those with abilities to traverse worlds find themselves unable to go home, or into dead zone, as well.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[In the sarcastic sense]

It doesn't really. [That means, should he ever appear, North's snowglobes won't help either]

[radiantwingedone]

[ Right. That thing he's not good at recognizing. ]

Thought not. Although it would prevent some from taking escape too far.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

You mean they'd rather stay here than take the risk?

[radiantwingedone]

Or that they cannot run to anywhere you cannot just as easily follow.

... Or risk incapacitation.
