[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

[bezazzled]

Hundreds of years? And you didn't think to, I don't know, try to hang out with anyone?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I didn't want to hang out with anyone. I thought I was happy by myself.

[bezazzled]

[This is such a depressing thing to learn about the Easter Bunny. Still, Mabel presses on!]

But now you're cool, right? No more going it alone?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Maybe one day, Mabel, he'll tell you about how the Tooth fairy's parents were murdered by an angry mob. Guardians have the BEST stories]

No more going it alone, no. I've got me a team who won't let me do that.

[bezazzled]

That's the spirit!

[There's a chill wind that passes by, and Mabel shivers even through her sweater.]

I know you're probably fine since you've got fur and all, but I'm fuh-reezing out here. Wanna head inside?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Poor kid, he moves a little closer so at least she has a giant furry bunny-shaped wind breaker]

Trust me, I like the cold about as much as anyone else. I'm a spirit of spring. Lets get inside.

[bezazzled]

Great!

[She reaches out for his hand so she can guide him inside.]

We'll drink something warm in the kitchen. Which, by the way, is always fully stocked. One of the perks of this place. It's on the first floor.

[He'll smile, taking her hand in his giant effing paw]

That's handy, least none of you will ever go hungry.

[bezazzled]

[She'll lead him inside for some quality hot chocolate, and continue to talk to him about some of little things to know about the castle. He's likely to get a crash course in the main stuff, so she finds it's better to talk about the lesser known stuff. Locations, an odd castle-wide event, and the like.

Needless to say, they're on their way to a beautiful friendship.]
