[2] 71 Days Until Easter

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Well, that had been a week of ridiculousness, and Bunny had learned the rather harsh lesson that he was not as up to fighting as he was back on Earth. He really needed to work on that belief thing here. Maybe even try something for the other Guardians, should they ever show up. If theyw ere to protect the children here, they needed to be on better form than this]

Right. So I'm going to avoid mirrors in this place for a good long while. I hear that sort of thing is regular around here? How regular, exactly?

[Children]

All of you okay?

I guess they decided to expand their holidays.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I bloody hope not, I live on a deadline as it is.

[gottaknockhard]

Yeah, I'll bet.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Besides, I still need to figure out how to bring Easter to this place.

[gottaknockhard]

You've got a lot of candy to wish up. [He can't really remember what Easter was about, but he knows he's seen candy.]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I don't give out candy, just eggs, and I grow them from flowers.

[gottaknockhard]

[Sure you do, crazy.]

Giving away all your secrets, huh?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[No, YOU'RE crazy]

They're not exactly secrets. It's just people never ask.

[gottaknockhard]

That's funny. You'd think they'd have a few questions.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

They don't usually see me. It's my job to hide and all. It'd give the game away otherwise.

[gottaknockhard]

... I forgot about that part.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Easy forgotten, what with you being an adult at all. [Said in the same tone as 'seen as you got this TERMINAL DISEASE and all']

[gottaknockhard]

[He's picking up on that. It's weird.]

You're really all about the kids.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Of course I am. I'm a Guardian.

[gottaknockhard]

I never knew that much about Easter.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

It's not just an Easter thing. There are other Guardians, too.

[gottaknockhard]

So it's like a club.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Spike what]

...No. It's not a club.

It's a calling. You get chosen, and you take an oath, to protect children for eternity.

[gottaknockhard]

Through eggs that grow out of flowers.

[He shouldn't be trying to understand...]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

What? No, that's just how I bring Easter.

I protect children by beating the tar out of people who threaten them.

[Yep, and now you know the Easter Bunny is prone to violence, that's what you get for prying]

[gottaknockhard]

I see.

[These are exactly the kinds of people you wind up reading about in the news.]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Seriously. He probably has a graveyard somewhere full of bodies. Most of them might even be dead]

But so long as no one's a threat to the children, they're alright in my book.

[That's his roundabout way of asking if he'll have to punch you in the face one day]

[gottaknockhard]

[He may not like children, but he doesn't make a habit of threatening them.]

That's your only rule?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Only one. So long as you're not a threat to the children, I'm fine with you.

[Do what you like to each other, adults, he don't care]

[gottaknockhard]

[Too bad he wasn't around when that guy was going around kidnapping them.]

Good to know.
