Hare Force One: Raiinbow Bunny Bla2t

[Propriety]

First people think Wales is in England, then they think it's in Scotland, I dunno... . Although I guess that might just be you being confused due to the slightly messed-up order Eurobunny's taking through the UK.

Oh nooooooo you're in Wales! Sorry. RAINBOW was in Scotland, and you were next, so I didn't realized we had already moved out of Scotland due to the reordering! So yes I was very confused. Sorry!

Wales and Scotland have beautiful gardens, though. They should get together and punch England in the nose. :P

Also HOLY PANTS! You two have knocked the socks off of bunny adventures! PaulPower, nyankokimi, GOOD PEOPLE, BEST ADVENTURES.

Also that Bunny re-boxing was SUPER EPIC, Nyankokimi! I lol'd. The shades were SUPER COOL, too.

[madmuffin]

Awesome, the bunny arrived! Glad to know my fears were assuaged. I love the name and immediately got the NDP connection, I always just called him/her Charlottetown just because of where I am. Though wouldn't Elizabeth May of the Green Party be more appropriate?

[undulatingUltimatum]

I am assuming it is too late to get in on these shenanigans? =(

It's too late for you to have the bunny mailed directly to you, but you should have a look at the map and see if any of the routes pass by your area. If they do, you could try to arrange a meetup with someone already on the line, at which you would be able to see the bunny, make non-time intensive modifications, hang out, etc.

One of them does swing fairly close by, but I live in the middle of nowhere and can't drive. So it probably won't go down.

I guess I can just enjoy watching you all though!

Part 4 - Saturday

Paul: Have lazy day

Big day yesterday, big day tomorrow, so today you'll just relax a bit.

Paul: Draft heartfelt letter

You decide to do the first draft on computer, then copy the final version onto paper.

==>

The letter to all recipients first, you think. You'll sort charcharmunro's later.

==>

There we go!

Eurobunny: Watch cricket

Today is TWENTY20 FINALS DAY, where the four remaining counties in this year's Twenty20 competition (Essex, Hampshire, Somerset and Nottinghamshire) compete to be crowned this year's T20 champions. Paul prefers Test cricket to limited-overs stuff, but you think this looks pretty good.

==>

The first semi-final ends with Hampshire defeating Essex by 6 wickets.

Eurobunny: See no ships

Well, obviously you aren't going to see any ships with the cardboard thingies from a toilet roll and a kitchen towel roll. But you humour this command anyway.

Eurobunny: Drink tea

Tea and cricket. How quintessentially British.

==>

And so, the evening wears on. Somerset beat Nottinghamshire by three runs under the Duckworth/Lewis method (don't ask) and the final is set up as favourites Somerset vs. underdogs Hampshire.

Eurobunny: Check up on model railway

A few more areas have been covered with scatter since you last checked in: the area behind the farm, and the forestry area in the top-left-hand corner. But there's something missing...

Paul: Examine platform shelter

Ah, here we go.

==>

Much better.

Paul: Run trains

We apologise for the ridiculous 2.4MB size of this animated GIF.

Eurobunny: Watch trains go by

Look at them blurred streaks go!

Eurobunny: Return to cricket

Back at the cricket, things are really tensing up. Hampshire are in the final over of their run-chase, needing 4 to win from 2 balls - but only 3 to level the scores and win through losing fewer wickets.

==>

The batsman hits 2 off the penultimate ball, but pulls a hamstring in the process.

Groundsman: Mark white line

With a runner coming on to the field to aid the injured batsman, the groundsman must refresh the white lines at the sides of the crease in case the runner is involved in a run-out or stumping.

==>

Hampshire scramble the last run, level the scores, win the game on fewer wickets lost and and win the tournament!

See you tomorrow for the Mumbles raft race!

[Propriety]

I have no idea what any of that meant, but it was pretty amusing! Wickets and stumping and creases and Duckworths?! Ridiculous!

Those model trains are pretty cool, though! Love the gif!

[nyankokimi]

Agreed! :3

Awesome, the bunny arrived! Glad to know my fears were assuaged. I love the name and immediately got the NDP connection, I always just called him/her Charlottetown just because of where I am. Though wouldn't Elizabeth May of the Green Party be more appropriate?

You should bring that bunny around to me, I live like, within 40 minutes of you apparently.

Unfortunately madmuffin has already shipped the bunny off, it's Kite who has it now. You could still just have an MSPA fan meetup, but meetups of any kind should probably be arranged through PMs to keep Creepy Internet Strangers from showing up. Not that that's likely to happen, but still.

Misunderstood what he meant by arrived at first. Thanks for clearing that up. xD And yes, I intended to do any planning in private, though I don't really know that much about mad to even really consider that yet.

Oh jesus you're right. WHOOPS I guess i'm more politically scatterbrained than I thought! It feels wrong to rename the bunny now, though, so I will keep calling it jack. Jack May?

> Liwei: Forget you are Liwei. Believe that you are now John.

You don't think you're, uh, the right type to be John, but you'll try your best!



You equip the necessary gear and allocate your strife specibi accordingly, after poking the lenses out of some 3D glasses.



Let's see those imps get you now!

> [S] Liwei: Serenade the bunny with a haunting piano refrain.

You thought you were John?

Oh well. You secure the bunny where it won't disturb you. Best seat in the house.



==>

You apologize for the tuning of your piano and for the fact that you need more practice!



One day you will be able to play it perfectly.

The bunny seems to have enjoyed the performance!

Afterwards:

> Bunny: Explore!



You encounter a wild MAOMAO!

> STRIFE!



MAOMAO aggresses you with CATTECH: U HAS A FLAVOR?

You counter with HARETECH LV 33: UNHARRIED STARE.



The fiend absconds!



To celebrate your careless victory, you decide to get to know the local folks. They seem rather friendly!



Good pokemanz, best friends.



Holy cow that sheep is huge!!!

You decide that's enough neighbourly behaviour for tonight!

if anyone missed it, my edited post with the first batch of pictures is here.

sorry this was so short, i was out for the morning and most of the evening was spent trying to get a nice recording lol. also thanks Paulpower for giving me the idea to serenade the bunny. C:

[nyankokimi]

Bunnyventures: continued

Oh man, that was some seriously sweet piano playing.

[Kazerad]

if anyone missed it, my edited post with the first batch of pictures is here.

I'm glad you mentioned this; I actually missed that you edited your first post!

[ndoto]

Forgive me if I just get all of you guys at once - Paul, Kimi and Kite: all of those updates are freaking awesome. Holy crap.

Paul, those model trains are seriously awesome. The rampaging bunny made me laugh quite a bit, and I thoroughly enjoyed your rendition of Gardener.

Kimi your pictures are seriously hilarious and I really couldn't help but hear the "Mortal Kombat" movie theme in my head while I watched it. That was QUITE the epic conclusion, and I wholeheartedly approve! Bravo!!

Kite HOLY CRAP I'm not sure I've ever seen someone's fingers move that fast. (And personally I think your John outfit is fantastic! And also those Pokémon plushies are ridiculously cute, where did you get those??) Your photos were so awesome, but GEEZ I still cannot get over that crazy piano playing!! Color me impressed!

ALL OF YOU GUYS ARE SO AWESOME thank you so much for sharing your adventures!!!

Part 5 - Sunday Afternoon

Paul: Underestimate difficulty of parking in Mumbles

You sure aren't a Knight of Time.

Hope*: Step into breach

Fortunately, some of us are more on the ball here. "We'll start with some of them being put into the water."

*Real name withheld to protect the innocent not completely silly.

"And a couple of them line up"

==>

"Though they refused to get in line at all, so eventually they agreed the startline should be moved forward."

==>

"We have the Wizard of Oz..."

==>

"A group of boozing Vikings."

==>

"And of course, flour bomb induced naval warfare. The raft with the plane on it was catapulting water bombs at people until someone started throwing eggs back at them from the shore."

==>

"The pirates who went nowhere fast and got left behind."

==>

"These are the poor fools who ended up needing to be pushed."

Anyway, you meet up with Hope and her parents in an amusement arcade.

Eurobunny: Bemoan the fate of your brethren


This is no way to treat a soft toy, cooped up in a box like... oh wait.

Eurobunny: Develop gambling habit

Now this is more like it. "2p machines where you can win... 2ps" - Peter Kay.

Eurobunny: Introduce self to local fauna

Hope won this Bugs Bunny keyring thing.

Eurobunny: View sea.

You can just about see Mumbles Lighthouse. If you squint.

Paul: Pose with Eurobunny

Fun times.

Hope: Pose with Eurobunny

Yep.

Paul, Hope, Eurobunny: Pose as a team 'cos SHIT JUST GOT REAL

Yeah, Paul doesn't know why he looks so moody on this one either. Unless he's just trying to look hard-boiled or something.

==>

dude... you got to FLIP it,TURN-WAYS

==>

Crisis averted.

Eurobunny: View sea (again)

You think that white rectangle thing is THE TOWER again.

At this point you must part ways with Hope and her parents, but before you head home again, there's a couple of other places Paul wants to show you...

Eurobunny: Examine stadium

LIBERTY STADIUM, recently constructed new home of Swansea City FC and Neath-Swansea Ospreys RFC. Paul's car is the one on the far right of picture.

Eurobunny: Examine lake

FENDROD LAKE in Swansea Enterprise Park, an artificial lake created by damming the River Tawe (tah-weh: Swansea's Welsh name, Abertawe, means "mouth of the Tawe") to prevent flooding and give people somewhere to fish.

Eurobunny: Introduce self one last time to local fauna

Hey there fellas.

==>

You appreciate that the etymology of Swansea has nothing to do with swans (It's actually Viking and means either "Sveinn's Island" or "Sweyn's Inlet" depending on who you ask) but it'd be a shame to leave without seeing them.

I'll be sending the bunny on tomorrow morning, but there'll probably be time for one last update this evening of finishing off my heartfelt letters, fixing up the box, saying goodbye to the bunny and so on. Until then.

P.S. Welp, Kite's a damn sight better on piano than I am on bass

[Propriety]

HOLY CRAP KITE!!!!!

I totally missed your first post, a fact which I sorely regret! BUT OH MAN. THIS SECOND POST.

SO EPIC. Your John costume is fantastic, FANTASTIC fantastic, and those piano skillz... Oh man. I wish I could play even a quarter as well as you can! YOU ARE AMAZING KITE. I have been Serenaded! So beautiful.

This thread... is like the best thread. I CAN HARDLY HANDLE MY EXCITEMENT

Edit: AND HOLY SHIT WHILE I WAS POSTING PAULPOWERS POSTED ANOTHER AMAZING POST OH GOD MY BRAIN IT JUST FLEW OUT OF MY HEAD

Pchooooo~

[KumaZone]

I'm back and everything is fine! Damnit everyone all haveing fun with their bunnies and whatnot

Oh man... seriously ing the new avatar.

Thanks! I made the first picture and then thought "shit. lets be santa"

[charcharmunro]

Yeah, I'll let Paul send it one more time, if it doesn't work, then I'm off this.

[Kite]

RE: Compliments: thanks a lot guys! : D
ndoto: my friend got those for me for secret santa last year. I don't know where she got them but they are so cute! :3
I was going to take the bunny up the CN Tower today but it's kind of cloudy. It's supposed to be sunny on tuesday so I'm going to see if i can do it then and send the bunny off wednesday or thursday.

Yes.

Part 6 - Sunday Evening

Paul: Draft other heartfelt letter

This one's to charcharmunro. Unless it gets sent back again. Then you'll have to write a new one for Doran, or something.

There we go!

Paul: Reinforce box

You're going to be using the box that Rainbow sent the bunny in. Reduce, reuse, recycle and all that. Still, you'd better reinforce the box with some extra tape, it's had a busy few days.

Eurobunny: Have one last look around

You are one of the top Bunnies in the world. Solicitations for your service are numerous in quantity. Compensation, adequate. It is a balmy summer evening. You are feeling particularly hard boiled tonight.

What will you do? Well, that's something for the next recipient to decide.

Paul: Say your farewells

Au revoir, Eurobunny. If all goes to plan, he won't be seeing you again. But you should be seeing plenty of him.

Paul: Make your modification

This won't hurt a bit...

Sally: Say your farewells

Behold Modifications? Y/N

Paul: Augment smiley-faced table lamp

You create JADE THE SHADE.

Paul: Put the bunny back in the...

... yeah, yeah, you know.

And so the saga continues.
