[3] 57 Days Until Easter

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Filtered to the Groundhog]

I'm not even surprised you haven't shown your furry ugg face here, you useless bludger. Seriously, you have one job all year. You don't have to hide eggs or deliver toys or give the ankle biter's dreams. Even the Leprechaun has more to do than you, and all he does is make people hit the turps and get them to wear green. You know what your job is? TO HAVE A BLOODY SHADOW. Guess what else has a shadow? EVERYTHING. All you have to do is stand behind a bloody rock or something and bam, one hidden shadow. And they eat it up like you're the best thing since sliced bread.

And you still get all the credit for Spring, even when you're a no-show. Streuth, I'd like to job you one right in the face, you drongo furry lemon.

[So reluctantly, so very very reluctantly. God, he hates being the only Holiday Representative here. He does not have the right personality to carry it for the team]

Happy Groundhog day, I guess. Whatever.

What's it for?

Arya

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

It's a rodent some people look out for. If they don't see his shadow, then that means spring will come early.

It's not how things actually work but there you go.

[whistles_the_blues]

Someone doesn't sound too impressed.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

That's because he's a pompous bludger.

[deductiongeek]

Why?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Because for group morale. Or something. I don't know, North likes us all to place nice.

[not_mafia]

[Oh, right, since the Easter Bunny was real, in his world at least, all those other guys would be real too.]

Not someone you're fond of, Bunny-san?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[Not always the best of cases, as far as Bunny's concerned]

He gets all the glory for doing nothing. Good job, Groundhog, you can climb out of a hole.

Happy Groundhog Day?

Who wishes anyone a happy Groundhog Day?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

It's a holiday representative thing. Helps belief and...whatever. I'm just going through the motions here.

Not that he'd wish anyone a happy Easter or anything, but nooooo we've got to be nice to the Groundhog

[ruin_mania]

Actually, I believe they celebrate Capybara Day here.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

...

Are you serious? [He's not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing]

[huntersdaughter]

I was about to mention that.

[sugarwaffo]

Oh! Happy Groundhog Day, Mr. Bunny!

Hey, can I ask you something?

forever!

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Yay. Yippie.

Oh? What can I help you with, darl?

[bezazzled]

That's today? Huh. I always forget it even exists.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

And that's why I'm here to remind you all. [Because apparently he likes to make himself suffer. Screw you and your unity, North]

[sword_redemption]

You celebrate rodents? [At least that's what his translation protocols are giving him about 'groundhog'.]

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

More like the chance that spring will come early. Which is doesn't.

It's one of those really drongo holidays.

[dictated]

[wantsiceland]

Woo hoo. I'm surprised the powers that be haven't flooded the place with the little things.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

...Well, that's a scary thought. Thanks for that.

[untilmydarknessgoes]

Wow I have not heard someone wish a happy groundhog day in...

Well, just a little shy of forever.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

I had to take one for the team.

Not that he's really part of the team, but we're supposed to encourage this kind of thing.

[kryptonian]

Do people actually believe in that?

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

They do where I come from. [He doesn't sound all that impressed with that]

[iin2ufferable]

What's a groundhog and why does it have its own day?

forever!

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

It's a big tailess rat. People think if it shows up and doesn't have a shadow, it means spring will show up early.

[Dictated]

[clockworkchild]

...groundhog day?

forever!

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

That wonderfully stupid day where people go to see if a rodent has a shadow or not to guess if spring comes any sooner.

[voice]

[shenunigans]

It's not the same without Bill Murray here.

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

Billy Murray has a lot to answer for.

( Bunny )

[savors]

[ Oh, look, another random filter. She's a little late to the party. ]

You don't like the Groundhog?

Abby

[thatrabbitsdynamite]

[It's NEVER late as far as Bunny is concerned]

We've got a few differences.
