A Narrow Escape

In which a seemingly innocent hat proves possessed of strange and malevolent powers, effecting near-fatal consequences for the Lady Bunniful.

WARNING: the documentary photos contained herein contain material that may be deemed too disturbing for squeamish viewers

While attending a holiday gathering, Lady Bunniful admired some animal-themed headwear designed and created by Olivia, her honorary niece (and Muser-age friend). One might hope a woman of Lady B.’s years and experience, particularly in matters lagomorphic, would exercise caution in approaching any object bearing even the slightest resemblance to winsome, long-eared mammals of rosy hue. Dear Blogger, it grieves me to relate this was not the case at all. No sooner had she noticed the chapeau lapinesque but she clapped it upon her head, Urania save us, not stopping to consider the possible consequences of such an impulsive act. The fact that the hat was indeed exceedingly becoming should have served as further warning rather than the encouragement she took it to be. Folly, thy name is Bunniful.

Within moments her nose began to twitch; her facial muscles tightened; the whites of her eyes became more pronounced.

O dearest MuseBlogger, it distresses me greatly to think what sensations of agony must have twisted within her limbs and consciousness, as once begun, the horrific process known as *shudders violently* bunnification proceeded apace.

Thus might the brief, glorious career of our graphics GAPA have ended in a zombified glaze of hot pink, had not Olivia’s quick wits and leporidal-arts training come to the rescue. The valiant girl, overcoming the horror that would have rooted a lesser soul to the spot, leapt forward and snatched the hat from Lady Bunniful’s head.

Rebecca wishes it known she appears to be well on her way to full recovery and she in no way holds Olivia responsible for the events of Sunday afternoon; indeed, she maintains nothing but gratitude for the quick thinking that prevented certain tragedy.

    I showed Pan and we both burst out laughing. We soon went back to realize how serious this is, and hopes that Lady Bunniful will be more careful in the future.

    Lady Bunniful, I’m so glad you’re okay still! I hope you’re doing better now, even thought the shock of these grusome events will always be vivid in our minds. As vivid perhaps as the hot pink that you turned when wearing that cap. Oh the horror!

    I seem to be seeing HPBs everywhere: in the comics (seriously, it was supposed to be a plot to capture the Easter Bunny, but its characteristics highly reminded me of how we classify HPBs and to top it all of it was hot pink) in a tree branch (me seeing things)…

  14. I’l send in a picture I have of a HPB that took me by surprise some months ago.
    It jumped out of a box of old candles and scared me to death, followed me to my room, where I successfully took a few pictures of it atop my colonial chest and has spent the rest of it’s time on the windowsill watching every move I make and making snide comments on my violin prectice sessions.

    *rushes off to headquarters* This calls for drastic action.
    Agent 293c: REPORT: TOP PRIORITY
    MuseBlogger Kiki the Great reports sighting of enemy in Florida. MuseBlogger KaiYves reports that space shuttle is landing in Florida at 7:00 PM Central time. Conclusion: Bunnies plan to launch offensive on space shuttle and gain control of Cape Canaveral, and thus of American space program. Projected objective of enemy: Seizure of extraterrestrial bodies/destruction of crucial satellites and/or ISS. Recommended action: Send strike force to Florida with bunnyproof armor (design: Penguini v.1) and depigmentizer dart guns.

  29. 39-That was my wallpaper for the longest time…

    My mom started laughing quite madly today, and I wondered why, and she pointed at the window. I peered out with caution, expecting to see some random squirrel in the sunset, but instead….

    I SAW A HUGE PINK BUNNY HEAD SHAPED CLOUD WITH EYES AND A NOSE AND EARS AND THE WAVEY MOUTH. *dies*

    Obviously, I covered my motheres eyes and ushered her to a safe place (her closet) to calm down and get over this horrific expeirence.

  37. This is strange. It is especially scary since there has been an epidemic of pinkfur, and it has been afflicting not only musers, so the non-musers have no idea who it is they are becoming similar to. Oh well, perhaps it is for the best that they do not know what they are about to become……..I will email a few photos of victims to the gapas shortly.
