[7] 336 days until Easter

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Bunnymund rarely uses the journal these days. After all, his holiday was done for the year, he'd stamped in his metaphorical timecard and was focusing on watching over the children, a task that required him to talk to people in general much less. But this time, this time it certainly does require him to talk to people. To give them something of a friendly PSA.

...Or a gentle warning that the Guardians Were Always Watching]

So, I've heard about this week, where you all get your own little anklebiters, taken from their own worlds and given to you lot to look after. I don't much like the idea, but I don't much like most of what the castle does. I'm just going to make this real simple, so even a galah could understand it.

You look after these kids. They're your responsibility for the week, yours to care for and love. For this week, they need to come before you in everything you do. Remember, they're away from their real homes, they're looking to you to be their parents. They need you to be everything to them, their whole bloody world, even.

I'll be around, some of you won't be able to see me, but I'll be around. It's my duty to watch over the children, and these little bugalugs aren't an exception to that. You want help? You call for me. I'll help you out with just about anything. But trust me when I say you don't want me to be around if you should forget how to be a good parent. You won't want me there then at all. But I will be there.

So be good.

Yes daddy.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Don't you start.

[wilder]

[...]

I like you.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Don't do it to make people like me, but thanks all the same. Good to know at least someone in this place has the same mindset.

[hardenedimmortal]

....

You really know how to pile on the pressure, don't you?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

'Course I do. It's my job.

[willrememberthat]

[A little giggle over here :') Go Bunny go!]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[That gets a soft chuckle]

Do you agree, Bugalugs?

[solowingpixy]

Care to give a manual for those of us who have no idea what we're doing then?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[He recognises that voice right away. He almost considers not answering, but he knows, he KNOWS it wasn't Larry's fault]

It's not that hard, mate. Feed them when they're hungry, change them when they need it. Just look after them.

[radiantwingedone]

... How do you keep track of them when they start moving quickly.

[ The problem is that Duke is neglecting to mention he can't see, but that should be implied in the question, he thinks. ]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

...You mean aside from following them?

[ofhope]

Last year, when we had to return them, it showed a world where they were still being looked after by us. We were a real family.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I heard as much. It's good to know they've got a good place to return to. Somewhere they don't face all the dangers Paradisa throws at us.

[kungfuwitch]

You don't have to worry about me or Peter, Bunnymund. [She grins] Peter's daughter has been coming back for years, now, and he's an amazing father. This year we have a daughter of our own. You can meet her if you'd like.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

So he's well used to this? Good to hear.

And I'd love to meet all of them.

[bezazzled]

Yeah! You tell 'em, Bunny!

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

They need to be told, don't you think, Darl?

[lord_wizard]

And who are you to level threats?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I'm the Easter Bunny, mate.

[foolreversed]

Man where the heck were you the past two years?

[BECAUSE HE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE SCREAMED FOR HELP IF SHE EVEN SO MUCH AS SCRAPED HER KNEES ADACHI PLEASE]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Been otherwise occupied, if I knew this place existed, I would have done my bloody hardest to force my way in.

[storiestotell]

[ Oh Bunny. She's grinning but obviously that doesn't show up on journals. ]

I'll help too. It'll be just like it is back home with all the other children running around.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Except not everyone here knows what they're doing. But that's what I'm here for.

Filtered forever

[the_effect_she_has]

All right, Rabbit. I won't go anywhere without her.

[Hell, she's probably not going to leave either one of their rooms much. At all. Ever.]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Awww he sounds proud]

Good, I knew I could trust you.

Dictated

[cyan_maid]

[...Please don't threaten your friend Mr. Bunnymund she's only sixteen.]

I'll certainly try my best...

forever!

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[But it's his M.O]

You've got one, too?

dictated

[psych0p0mps]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

You've had children here, too?
