[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]

Oh, I see. What... an odd ritual. though I understand celebrating spring.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

You- you don't understand? It's the new cycle of life! Without it, the world couldn't go on. It's vital for every living thing on Earth.

[wishmadeinfire]

No, I understand the importance of spring, I do not understand the ritual with the eggs. My world celebrates it differently.

_{[His tone suggests you need to slow down and listen, Mr. Rabbit.]}

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[No never, Easter is his deal and that kind of makes you very close minded]

Eggs symbolise rebirth.

[wishmadeinfire]

In a way, I suppose. I simply find the ritual interesting, it was not meant as insult.

You will find quite a few here do not celebrate your 'Easter' either - it simply does not exist in their home worlds.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[God that's depressing]

Then I'll just have to teach them about it.

[As in force feed them chocolate until they learn to love it and him]

[wishmadeinfire]

You can attempt it. We have readily adopted the holidays of Christmas and Valentines' - mostly because I believe the Castle has figured out a way to exploit their traditions for its own benefits.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I won't let the castle exploit Easter if I can help it.

[wishmadeinfire]

I wish you all the luck with that. I do not like seeing people's traditions exploited, but the Castle is so far beyond any of us...

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I'll find a way around it, trust me. Easter's something that always has to come.

[wishmadeinfire]

It will come, but as I said, prepare for the Castle to throw you a 'curve ball' as they say.

I imagine, though, you will find those interested in celebrating it though - especially from the Earth worlds.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I'll be ready, no worries.

[wishmadeinfire]

I look forward to celebrating this tradition of welcoming spring then.
