THE BUNNIES ARE COMING!
*runs and hides somewhere far away*
I held my blaster ready to shoot, in case Turquoise or TGYPWYA should wake up and overpower The Bookworm. “Well…it looks like we’re in no particular danger right now.” I said to groundhog and IBCF. “But we just need to watch these two,” I indicated the bodies on the lab floor. “And make sure we’re not killed by the bunnies in the tunnels…we don’t know where they are, they could’ve even fallen into some concealed cave.” not likely, I added silently.
hellooooo….aahh what are hot-pink bunies?
((Umm whatever happened to TGYPWYA coming into my room? Well, I suppose we’ll say that he opened the door, and then was distracted by Groundhog.))
I cautiously poked my head out of the room, my sword still drawn. I saw Groundhog, IBCF, ZVX, and The Bookworm crowded around two bodies. I hurried over to find Turquoise and TGYPWYA lying unconscious on the floor being tended to by The Bookworm. I tapped Groundhog on the shoulder, who promptly jumped about a foot.
“Sorry! It’s just me! I just came over to see what was going on. Oh, and thank you for keeping TGYPWYA away from me.â€
3- You…don’t…know?
((3-Hmm…let’s just say, ignorance is bliss! They’re *is broken off by violent shudders*))
((0- “An a leporine role-playing game”? Is that a typo?))
I awoke in intense pain. I was confused, but recognized most of the faces staring at me. “Uh… Where am I?” I saw a shuriken and multiple darts sticking out of my chest. I promptly blacked out again.
((3- They were harmless images [ ] used to replace letters about cats or dogs in Muse during the Great Dog-Cat Dispute. Here at MB, we’ve turned the harmless images [ ] into murderous, bloodthirsty, demon conquerors. [ ] BEWARE THE BUNNIES!!!!!!!))
We do things like that around here.
((10 – No kidding. I can’t believe my idea took off as well as it did.))
I nodded as Pillsbury Doughgirl explained her theory. It made perfect sense, which was both good and bad. Good because she was making sure that we didn’t have any bunny-tainted allies. Bad because it meant a whole lot of work on my part. I now had ‘determine what causes this telepathic connection with the bunnies and see if we can use it to our advantage’, ‘see what material the shuriken is made of and why it can cut through the suit’, ‘dismantle and analyze the tar gun’, and ‘study the black bunny and get its secrets’ on my list of things to do. But that just meant that I wouldn’t be going out to fight in the near future, and that was all right, considering that I was next to useless when it came to running. Another thing to add to the list: ‘design a vehicle or something.’
I jumped when someone tapped my shoulder. Luckily it was just Kittymine, coming to thank me for tackling TGYPWYA when he tried to get into the psych room. “No problem.” I replied. “I just wish I’d been able to knock him out, but bunny taints are just as strength-building as they are toxic to the mind.” I sighed. So now AvalonGirl, TGYPWYA, and Turquoise had some sort of bunny influence on them, and Pillsbury Doughgirl was on the border of the bunnies’ control. Alice was gone, and was hypnotized by the bunnies anyway, and TMFA had disappeared while trying to secure the rest of our bases. That left POSOC, Ã߀ƒ, Kitty, Ź√Ҳ, Hypatia, The Bookworm, and myself. Nearly half of our main group had been incapacitated or something similar. We still had Wyatt and Serafina, but they didn’t do much. And General Valentine hadn’t communicated with us in ages. It was a good thing that we were retreating to the Trench. Everyone would be able to recover there, and I could work on all those things that I needed to do, all undetected by the bunnies. I looked around. It appeared that everyone was in the building. “Okay,” I said. “We’re going to start moving now. It should be mostly jostle-free, but you never know, so if there’s anything fragile that you have, hold onto it or tie it down somehow.” I pressed a button on my desk to lock it down so that all the equipment inside it wouldn’t smash in the event of an unexpected bump. “We’ll also need someone to direct the building’s movements.” I lifted a plastic safety cover on the wall and pressed the button underneath it. A section of the wall lifted up, revealing a computer screen with a map on it and a joystick. There was a blinking red dot on one part of the map, and a green square on another part. “The green square is us. The red dot is our destination. All you need to do is use the joystick to direct the green square on the screen to the red dot, and the building’s moving devices will copy it. AvalonGirl, TGYPWYA, Pillsbury Doughgirl and Turquoise should probably get into some sort of secure room, in case the bunny influence takes them over. Someone else should stay with them as well. Everyone else should just get comfortable, because this’ll take a while.” I pressed the ‘on’ button next to the joystick, causing the building’s engines to turn on.
((-5 no, no, I DO know what they are, that was just a pseudonym of myself, seriously.))
11 – “Sure, I’ll go secure myself with the others, but maybe you could keep me a little seperate? I don’t want them waking up and killing me. And if anyone has a book, that would be nice, too.”
“I swear, though, they won’t be able to take me over. They think they already have, and they aren’t trying to anymore. Plus, even if they did try, this extra energy would keep me strong, so I wouldn’t succumb.”
((Oh, Turquoise and everyone else who is unconcious, you don’t have to wake up evil, you know. It was just an idea. You could have done what I did, and passed out before they could take you over.))
13 – “I know that, but what I don’t know is if this connection has some other part to it that we don’t know about. I’m really sorry. I promise you that I’ll take care of you first once we settle the building into the Trench. It doesn’t really seem fair though, after you fought off the bunny influence that you should get rewarded by getting put into the equivalent of solitary confinement…” I thought for a moment. “Okay, new plan.” I said. “Pillsbury Doughgirl, you can be wherever you want, okay? I just had an idea to keep everything secure in the event that something happens with you.” I pressed another button, which turned on a bunch of cameras that were scattered around the lab. I accessed the video feed and set it to detect Pillsbury Doughgirl’s face, and to sound an alarm if her eyes started to turn red. “There.” I said. “Now all we need is someone to drive the building.”
((My idea of an operation from end of last thread:)) “It’s okay, Pillsbury Doughgirl. It’s very interesting that you have a connection to them, and it will be very useful. I want you to keep calm, and lie down. If either Turquoise or The Guy’s inner bunnies start stirring, try to stop them. If you fell yourself getting overpowered, tell us immediately! I am going to operate on Turquoise, and you keep her bunny in check. Okay?†As PD nodded, I opened my surgical kit and took out a thin knife. Skillfully, I injected it into Turquoise, and attempted to remove the tainted flesh. This will take a while… ((Can this operation still happen, before we move?))
((3+5+9+12- *Giggle* *Snort* *Chuckle* *Finally Cracks up and goes rolling in the ailes*))
13-“Hang on a sec- before the Tainted Ones ((couldn’t help myself)) go into the secure room, Bookworm should probably remove the shuriken from TGYPWYA so that no more poison ((I assume that is what the bunnies are using)) will get into his system. Groundhog, I know you already have a long list of things to look at, but when you look at the shuriken, could you analyze the poison? That way we could figure out an cure for it so that the others won’t be tainted.”
((Is the building moving yet?))
“Will do, Kitty!”
Another part?
As the unnamed fighter flew towards the fighting, she stopped suddenly. “Wait-the fighting stopped! I’ll never let the bunnies win!!!” she screamed. Then she flew into the Psych Lab. I couldn’t fight, so I just stood there…
——————–
AVALONGIRL’S VIEW:
As I flew into the Psych Lab, I saw a horrible scene. TGYPWYA was lying on the ground, a shuriken and several darts in his chest. Bookworm was operating on Turquoise, Pillsbury Doughgirl was standing there, and Kittymine was talking to Groundhog. “Whoa…what happened here?” I inquired.
“Well, technically that was already on my list of things to do, because I am trying to find out more about this connection. But thanks for not wanting to overload me.” I replied to Kitty. I turned around as AvalonGirl dashed into the main room. “You’re awake?” I asked in surprise. “How do you feel? Oh, and what happened here was that a black bunny got into the lab and started wreaking havoc and mayhem. Then TGYPWYA, who’d gotten hurt by the bunnies, woke up and started trying to kill everyone because of some bunny poison that got into him when he was attacked, spreading the poison to two others in the process. Just a normal day, in other words.”
((17- I believe the building is in motion))
((22 – No, it’s just ready to move. No one’s volunteered to drive it yet.))
23- ((I’ll drive)).
I slowly lowered the blaster. “Well, we need to get to the Trench. you hear that?” I gestured at the ceiling from which harsh screams sounded, the bunnies were coming. “If they come through here, we’re dead.”
“Well we’re just waiting for The Bookworm to finish up the minor surgeries, and then we’re free to go. You know how funny it will be when we leave? As we move, we’ll hear the delightful thumping sound of falling bunnies!”
21-((No, I’m flying. I still have my wings.))
“I believe I have removed the tainted flesh from Turquoise. Now I just need to bandage this…” I point at the gaping wound on Turquoise, where I removed the flesh, “Remove the shuriken, and we can go!” I start to bandage Turquoise.
Thanks to my lightning reflexes, I just barely make it to a trunk in the corner before I throw up. There’s so much blood…
All of a sudden, the humming rises again, filling my head. I close my eyes and collapse on the floor, using every ounce of strength I have to resist it. Behind the humming I hear a voice…
My blood freezes as I realize what it is saying.
26- “Falling bunnies are music to my ears.”
((27- Hmm. Thought we took those things of you. Ah, well.))
As I notice Pillsbury Doughgirl throwing up and apparently losing control of herself, I realize what needs to be done. I take a sleeping dart from my pack and through it at Pillsbury Doughgirl. She falls down on her back, unconscious. “Sorry.” I say to the world, “But she was losing control.”
“Hey! we can’t have any more unconscious people, there’s only one way to go. out.” I holstered the blaster and walked over to TGYPWYA. “Do you think it’s safe to pick him up?” i asked IBCF, “He might wake up any moment.”
“Guys, don’t worry, the bunnies can’t get through the walls here. Everything’s fortified with pietanium.” I said. “Ã߀ƒ, I think I heard you volunteering to drive? Thanks.” Kitty’s comment made me laugh. The delightful sound of falling bunnies… I thought. Or better yet, if they manage to hang on to the building until we get to the ocean, the delightful sound of drowning bunnies.
“nice, but we really need to get moving.”
“Yeah!” I complained.Just then, I had a thought. ”What about drowning bunnies?” Groundhog looked at me. “Oops-sorry, Groundhog, didn’t mean to steal your idea.”
—————
Serafina’s View:
As I rushed into the lab, I saw a ….interesting scene. TGYPWYA and Pillsbury Doughgirl were on their backs, unconscious. The unnamed fighter was talking to Groundhog, and Ź√Ҳ . Bookworm…well, he was standing there. I stood silently.
((Bookworm? If you’re a girl-ridiculous as that is-just tell me.))
“Okay, lets get moving please! We’ve been sitting here for too long- those bunnies might get ideas!” Right on cue, a thumping noise came from the ceiling. I looked up- nothing seemed to be wrong. Then I noticed a teeny tiny bump, slowly widening. “They’re trying to cut through the ceiling using shurikens! It will take ages, but if left to it- Bookworm, are you done yet?”
“All right, we need to go.” I walked over to TGYPWYA. “IBCF, could you help me carry him? I’m not sure I can get him all the way to the Trench, and if he wakes up, we may have to shoot again.”
Thump.
A spearhead came crashing through the ceiling. no–not a spearhead, a grenade!
“We have to go, now! I’m done with Turquoise, and we’ll deal with TGYPWYA and Pillsbury Doughgirl later. Hang on… Is that a grenade?!?! Throw it out, fast, someone! I can’t, I’m lifting Pillsbury Doughgirl…”
I was shocked. What could have gotten through the pietanium? I snatched up the grenade, disconnected the fuse, then climbed up on a chair and stuffed it back out through the hole, reconnecting the fuse as I did so. Then I stuck my finger out the hole and started shooting the depigmentizer gun mounted on it in all directions, hoping to disable some of the attacking bunnies. A loud boom shook the lab–that must have been the grenade exploding on the roof. “Ã߀ƒ!” I shouted over the din. “You need to tell the building where to go–otherwise it’ll just sit here wasting fuel!”
3- Hot pink bunnies, HPBs are just that. they were stickers in a Muse that were handed out to contest winners.
39- “Righto!” *building suddenly starts forward*
I quickly withdrew my hand from the hole in the ceiling–didn’t want it to get knocked off by a stalactite or something. I breathed a sigh of relief as the building began to move and the delightful thumping sound of falling bunnies filled the air. I could still hear some bunnies banging on the walls and ceiling, but there weren’t that many of them, and they’d all drown once we got into the water if they didn’t fall off before that. Speaking of water… There was still the matter of the hole in the ceiling. If we didn’t get it patched before we hit the ocean, then we’d be sunk. Pun very much intended. Ah well, I thought to myself. Guess I have another job to do… I unlocked one of my desk drawers and pulled out my soddering iron and a few plates of pietanium. I then relocked the drawer and hunted around the lab for some pietanium filler. Once I found it, I stood on the chair that I’d used to throw the grenade out the hole, and slipped one of the pietanium plates out of the hole, positioning it to cover up the outside of it. Then I soddered it in place. Not a permanent fix, but it would have to do, unless someone else knew the art of welding. I figured I might as well ask, so I called out: “Does anyone here know how to use a welding torch?”
42- I do, but I’m a bit busy with driving the building to the ocean. Anyone else know how to do it?
((43 – All you had to do was chart out the course on the computer. Then it would do the rest by itself. You’re free at the moment.))
I fight back the tranquilizer and emerge groggy into the world of the living. I push Bookworm away and shakily stand. I take a deep breath and force words out, because even through the haze of wiggling red dots I can see all the weapons pointed at me.
“We have to…take…a different…route…” I gasp. “The bunnies…have our path…covered and…” My eyes widen. “They have breeded…water-proof bunnies!”
I drag myself over to a large armchair and sink into it. “You didn’t have to shoot me,” I yawn, “I told you, they can’t get me…” My eyes force themselves closed and I enter a deep sleep, filled with the orders of bunny generals and the thoughts of bunny warriors and brainwashed MBers.
‘You know, William, there is such thing as bad aim.’
Bunnies can be so stupid.
((44- Oh. Heh heh. I knew that.))
*picks up welding torch* *runs over to help* *welds*
45- *lifts up welding helmet/mask thing* “What was that? New route? Argh!” *puts down welder* *runs over to computer*
((Question: Are we in the water yet?))
I open my eyes blearily. ((Wait – am I evil?)) “Oog…what happened?”
((47 – I don’t think so.))
This created a rather large problem. If there were waterproof bunnies now, then it wouldn’t be safe to travel to the Trench. I finished stuffing the hole with pietanium packing, and soddered another pietanium plate over it, leaving the welding for Ã߀ƒ. Although…Just because the bunnies were waterproof didn’t mean that they could stand the immense water pressure in the Trench. But no one knew whether that was true or not, since these waterproof bunnies were a new thing. I thought for a moment, and then woke up Pillsbury Doughgirl. “I really hate to do this to you.” I said. “But it’s kind of urgent. Can these waterproof bunnies breathe on land as well?”
“Waterproof bunnies eh? Well, that is a big hole in our plan, or should I say ceiling?”
“This might be a bad time, but I think we’re being followed.” *points out window* *two dragonbunnies/hybrids (they’re the same thing) are flying after us*
“Well, there’s only one thing to do.” I pulled out a new model of blaster. “This is guaranteed to shoot bunnies no matter what kind.”
I lifted the heavy blaster, bringing the scope to my eye. the crosshairs hit on the bunny’s chest. I flicked the shooting setting up to “10”–otherwise known as “Full Blast”.
I fine-tuned the aim.
I pulled the trigger.
((48-Not anymore. I just operated on you. You lost lots of blood, though.))
49 – “Wha? Oh, umm…” I concentrate really hard. After a moment, I reply, “They can survive on land, but only for a short amount of time. Ten minutes for the strongest ones.”
I slowly opened my eyes. “Uh… Where am I? And why was I dreaming that I tried to kill you guys?” I looked down at my weapon-imbedded chest and almost fainted again. “And why have I become a human pincushion?”
((52 – How are you shooting from inside the building?))
I almost cheered as Pillsbury Doughgirl told me that the waterproof bunnies couldn’t survive for very long on land. “Okay, Ã߀ƒ?” I said. “Do you mind if I take over the navigating while you fix the roof? I’ve just gotten an idea.” I sat down in front of the computer console with the map on it and redirected the building towards a large underground lake that was connected to the tunnel system, putting the stop point right at the edge of the water. I looked out the window nervously. The lab didn’t have any weapons on its outer walls because it was usually surrounded by soil or bedrock. I just hoped that the bunnies wouldn’t be able to break through the ceiling again, otherwise my entire plan would likely get us all killed or worse.
((-56 I opened a defense window. how else?))
As a blaze of bluish fire exploded from the end of the blaster, the flying bunnies flipped in unison, causing the shot to miss–almost. It struck the tip of bunny#1’s wing as it zinged past. I swore under my breath.
I could not fall back asleep. My body felt sluggish, but my brain would not stop zipping along. I would close my eyes, but they always popped right back open. I felt agitated.
Something was going to happen.
((52- How do you just randomly come up with a new invention? You have to do some research, first.))
56- “Sure, but those dragonbunnies will probably melt through as soon as I start. We’re going to have to get rid of them, somehow.”
I watched the green square that was us creep towards the red dot that was our new destination. Finally, a beep signaled that we had arrived. “Okay guys, we need to pretend that we’ve run out of ammo, fuel, everything.” I called to everyone. “Like we’re just holing up in here with only the walls as a defense. The bunnies will latch themselves onto the building again and try to break through. Once they’re all holding on, we all need to go to the front of the building and start jumping up and down. The building is literally at the edge of the water, so the force of our jumping will make it slide into the lake, taking all of the bunnies with it. So we need to cut all the power now. Just shut down all the computers and stuff, and then we can flip the master switch without killing all of the electronics. If anyone ends up needing medical attention, there’s a generator in a closet in the psych room.” I switched off the navigation computer, and then began to scurry around turning off various other things.
“HA!” i chuckled at the thought. “Straight to the bottom.”
“No one needs medics, as I’ve fixed up The Guy and Turquoise. Pillsbury Doughgirl seems woozy, but not in danger! Let’s try it out, boss!”
55-“Sorry if you look like a human pin cushion- you’re not supposed to. It’s just that the ‘dream’ of yours was not a dream. The bunnies had shot a poisoned shuriken in you that caused you to attack us all, aiming to kill. Don’t worry-no one was killed. A few were injured, but we’ve sorted them out. And someone should probably do something about that pin-cushion thing. Bookworm, can you get rid of the rest of these darts? I think they’re making TGYPWYA a bit nauseous.”
*Grabs AK-47bunniefire from a rack on the wall and joins IBCF* “Now what?” I say. “If that grenade got through the Pietanium, imagine what else could come through! As I am a munitions expert, I would say that was a banned 975-29Bun-Bun-Boom grenade. I thought they were destroyed, they were so dangerous I signed the destruct order myself.” *plants detpack on corridor wall* “If they try to sneak up behind us, I’ll detonate it!”
((64- Wait a minute, eragon. First, you need to tell us a little more about your character before jumping in. Second, there aren’t really any more laws or bans, the bunnies have taken over the world. Third, we don’t want to blow up our own building!))
63- “Ah, and it seems that it took you guys a while to stop me.” I started to prop myself up, but I decided to wait until Bookworm could fix me up. “And is it just me, or is the building moving?”
“It’s not just you. We’re moving bases to the Marianas Trench. We’re just shaking the bunnies off first!” I leaned down and took out a syringe. “This is an anesthetic. It may hurt a little injecting, and you may throw up when you awaken. None the less, it’s all for the best!” With a grin, I injected the syringe. The Guy winced, then fell asleep. I began to remove the various darts, and with them much blood. Humming The Major General Song, I began the crucial steps of the operation…
I turned off the rest of the electronics. Then I crossed to the fusebox and flipped off the master swtch. All of the lights went out, but the emergency ones flickered on, so we weren’t completely in the dark. “Okay, they’re probably going to attach themselves onto the building any second now. Get ready to run to the front.”
“Groundhog, there’s one thing that CAN deal with the bunnies though…” walked over to my backpack, which contained several weapons, and pulled out a folding hunting knife. i held it up in the light. “Poisoned.”
69- “Sorry to bust your bubble, but they’re covered in armor. It wouldn’t be very effective.”
I see TGYPWYA. “OH MY GOD!!” *runs away* “Help! We’re all going to die!”
“You missed it. He’s not evil anymore,” someone said helpfully.
“Oh.” “Sorry.”
“No, It’ll go though that. it’s equipped with lasers on the handle. complete bunny killing device. no glitches.”
((64- have you by any chance read the Artemis Fowl series?))
69- what kind of poison is it?
((72- Fine, fine, but can’t we just have a dramatic fight, for once? I mean, it’s not that much of a challenge when people suddenly invent weapons that kill our opponents instantly.))
-73 a concentrated mix of black widow and cobra venom.
-74 ((hey! we ARE going to have a dramatic battle here. the bunnies are going to come in and besides, the knife’s only good for one throw.))
Luckily I am already seated, because the humming starts up again, and I don’t want to have another one of those collapsing fits that got me sedated.
After a couple scary moments, the humming recedes. It takes me a minute to recover but I am finally able to gasp out a warning:
“The Bunnies are coming.”
((75- Fine, whatever…*mutters*))
*sound of whirling ears* *the two dragonbunnies latch onto the ceiling*
((74- Hear Hear! Forth Eorlingas!))
((75- Aha. Sounds painful and deadly))
My mind whirled when I heard Pillsbury Doughgirl’s warning. I had never really been in a full-scale battle before. I suppose the hostage exchange had turned into a minor battle, but it wasn’t HUGE. ((Where is Alice anyway?)) What was I to do? I could certainly fight, but I was afraid to- I’m too young to die! I’m also worried about the hypnobunnies. Because their hypnosis isn’t natural, it makes it harder for a person, even if they are wearing a suit, to resist.
((P.S.- I have studied the subject in depth and (Groundhog, please don’t bombard me for this) I am licensed to practice hypnosis)).
((78- Dude, read post #51. It’s only two dragonbunnies. I mean, they’re dangerous and hard to defeat, but they wouldn’t start a full scale battle. Or did I miss something?))
((79- Whatever. I suspect that it will become a full scale battle. Anyway, I really wanted to say that since I just read it and finally figured out what you guys were all talking about.))
Sorry if i’m double posting
((Scratch that last in 78- I’m too young to be licensed and such. Let’s just say that I have researched the subject.))
“Blasters up!” I called to everyone as the bunnies latched on. “See if you can distract them from getting inside!” I shouted over the roar of the wind created by the Dragonbunnies’ wildly flapping wings.
I sprang over to Groundhog. “We need to distract them. then maybe two or three of us could sneak up to the top and shoot on them from above. I did some research on the web page BunnyInfo.com it says that their weakest point is their eyes, given they’re closely related to dragons.”
SERAFINA:
“Hello? Bookworm?” I winced. Jeez, that looked painful. “Is there anything I can do?” I asked.
———
AVALONGIRL:
((Where’d groundhog22 go?))
((groundhog is still there, but unable to get at a computer due to the fact that it is nighttime where she is.))
“Nope. I just finished. Actually, you could clean some of this blood up. Why don’t you stay here with him while we fend off the dragon-bunnies. Here’s a blaster, just in case. Remember, their eyes are their weakest point!” I leave Serafina with the unconscious, just operated on, TGYPWYA and go to everyone else…
((-83 Groundhog is over there, I was just proposing a plan to her.))
“Kittymine,” I said. “Help me round up a few others to go to the top of the lab. we’re going to drop grenades and shurikens on them from above. we just got a prototype case of new blue rinse grenades. those should work good.” She nodded and went to go explain to IBCF.
I walk over to eragon. “Why don’t you come with me up to the top of the lab. you could use that new bunniefire that you’ve got there. we’re going to throw–” i broke off and whirled around.
AVALONGIRL:
“Ź√Ҳ ? I can fly, and who knows what else. What about sending me outside?” I asked.
———————
SERAFINA:
“But I have my PPG(Phased Plasma Gun)!” I complained to Bookworm, sending him a mysterious wink. “And NO, I’m NOT telling you how I got that.”
“Fine, fine…”
((Ok, guys, I was most unfortunately separated from the computer for the past few days due to the fact that I was on a four-day trip to northern Israel (am I allowed to say that?) and the places where I was staying didn’t have computers. And second, the plan that I was hatching was to get all of the bunnies to latch onto the lab, and then go to the front of the building and jump up and down, thereby making the building slide into the lake, drowning all of the bunnies. But if everyone else wants a battle, then I’m cool with that too. It just seems like we’ve barely recovered from the last battle, so I didn’t think we’d be able to go into another battle so soon.))
((Blue rinse grenades?! Have you also been reading Artemis Fowl?))
((One would assume so, yes. And are we still going into battle?))
((-90 of course!))
((double post!))
I turned to AvalonGirl. “Yes, you can go out there, but take two reliable weapons and some of the grenades. I’m not having your blood on my hands.” I grinned. “And make sure you hit ’em good!”
I walked over to the ladder IBCF had set up for us to go up on and pulled out my BunnyBlaster. “Everyone ready?” I started climbing up, checking the two grenades clipped onto my belt.
“Ready, ZVX!” I pointed to my blaster in my belt.
((82- Dragonbunnies’ wings don’t flap, they rotate. It’s their ears that let them fly.))
*holds up ladder* “Good luck, guys. Try not to get killed up there.”
I opened my eyes, feeling extremely nauseous. “Uh, hello? What’d I miss?” *pukes* “Blech… are we fighting?”
AVALONGIRL:
“Ź√Ҳ ? I’m taking a TBSVTLBMB (Thin But Slicing Very Trusty Laser Beam of MuseBloggers) and a VTMSMB (Very Thin Melee Sword of MuseBloggers). How about a smoke grenade, a sheen (invisibility (well, it only LOOKS like it.)) grenade, a illusion grenade, and a many-bladed grenade. How’s that with you?” I grinned. Hey, I was ready to fight. And besides, I was the only one who had discovered the TBSVTLBMB’s lock-on ability. It would keep trailing you till it hit you, but I had always kept it to myself.
—————————
SERAFINA:
“Well, they are. We, however, aren’t.” I told TGYPWYA very calmly. “And, in case I do have to fight, I’ve got my PPG. So, if the bunnies take you over, I will have to shoot you. And that would be too bad.” I flashed him a scary grin. Hey, I hadn’t taken intimidation training for nothing! Whistling along to ‘Walk Through The Fire’ from the Buffy episode ‘Once More, With Feeling’, I shackled his hands and legs to the floor. I was still waiting for the INSTANT OF ACTION, of course. Who wasn’t? And, on a distant level of my mind, I realized the unnamed fighter had a name. AVALONGIRL.
SIDE NOTE:
((No, I don’t know how AvalonGirl actually pronounced that. So don’t ask.)) ((Hey, I created the PINMB and the TWTMB! Blog-speaking, of course.))
Oh, and in post 97, the ‘AVALONGIRL’ after ‘had a name.’ should be in italics.
“I think I will also stay in here. In the off chance that Groundhog’s jumping plan needs to take effect, someone should be here to help.”
I sighed, hoping that nothing too bad would go on out there. It would be nice not to have to get the building out of the lake afterwards, but what if more people got seriously injured. “Okay, everyone who’s going out, good luck!” I said. “I’m going to put the doors on emergency power but keep everything else turned off, just in case we need to retreat into the lake.” I hooked the door switches up to a generator and turned it on, so that everyone who was fighting could get out.
(-94+97)
“Seriously, that is enough weaponry to outfit an army,” I said AvalonGirl. “Make every shot count though…” I turned to the Bookworm and other assembled MBers that were coming to the top. “Right. let’s go.” I cocked the blaster in my belt and flicked up the setting. I started to climb up the ladder, the others followed, making sure their weapons were in perfect condition. “Oh, and Groundhog,” I looked over my shoulder. “If anyone gets hurt, it’s my fault, so don’t go crazy worrying, but if all goes according to plan, we’ll be able to finish the Dragonbunnies.”
I continued climbing up, the weapons on my belt dragged against the steel bars of the ladder.
At long last, my head popped up and I walked through the door.
“On come on, Ź√Ҳ .” I prodded. “YOU were the one who told me to get grenades, weren’t you? And besides, the VTMSMB is made up of rotating spirit particles*. And, this is really something…the TBSVTLBMB can NEVER MISS! So, don’t worry about me.” I grinned.
SIDE NOTE: ((Yep, I’m a Bleach addict. It’s from Uryu’s battle from Cirucci Thunderwitch, chapter…something.)) ((No, I STILL can’t pronounce TBSVTLBMB. I’m SORRY!!!!!!))
“I won’t worry, I’ve got enough worrying to do anyway.”
“Well, this should be fun. I’m shackled to the ground while my friends are going into battle. &*$# black bunny. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be in this mess. I move around a bit to try and get more comfortable. “Why do you have to do all this again?”
“You forgot? I just told you. If the bunnies start controlling you, and you try to kill me, this will make it easier to shoot you!” I yelled at him, then regained my composure. I gave him a cold grin, singing this-
“And we are caught in the fire, the point of no return-” and this-
“Life’s a song, you don’t get to rehearse, and every single verse can make it that much worse..”
Why? How would I know?
“And, in case you forgot, I’m the ONLY person with a PPG! It’s cranked up to 10. That’ll kill instantly*,” I remarked, with a REALLY cold grin on my face.
*=((No, I’m not bluffing about the killing, or the power level. I am a MuseBlogger who doesn’t like you much, TGYPWYA.))
“HEY!” I poked my head back inside the building. “No bloodthirsty stories or I’ll shoot YOU! this isn’t a time for argument.” I pulled back outside and turned to the assembled. “Right, guys, remember, shoot for the eyes. It’s their weakest point. Make EVERY shot count.”
I watched the fighters exit the building. Then I prepared some bandages and such. I knew from past experiences that bunny battles always produced injuries of one kind or another, so I might as well be prepared. But even though I was trying my best to keep myself busy, the thing that was really bothering me broke through. I sat down heavily on a nearby chair and buried my face in my hands. The truth was, I was jealous beyond belief of everyone who was going out to fight. One of my best friends had gotten bunnified right before my eyes, and here I was, unable to do anything to avenge her because my knees were liable to give out in the middle of the battle. I was perfectly fit, more than fit, I knew how to fight, but no. My stupid knees kept me behind while everyone else went. I felt useless. What good was all of my gatdgetry if I couldn’t even go out and use it? I decided to turn on one of the outer cameras, so I could at least see what was going on and not have to worry about what was going on out there, so I hooked up the camera panel to the generator and turned it on. Ź√Ҳ was giving everyone a pep talk. The bunnies were still approaching, but weren’t anywhere near them yet.
“Ready troops?” I asked. “FIRE!”
((Great. I’m probably gonna die. Thanks Bookworm, for leaving her with me.))
“Well, I know, but if that does happen, everyone has a weapon (unlike last time), plus the bunnies are trying to kill me too, so I’m pretty much dead meat. And if I stay here, I’m in an even worse spot if they break through and take you out,” I reasoned, hoping for a chance to fight those darn bunnies. I heard a voice i recognized as ZVX’s yell “FIRE!” and I heard weapons discharging and other battle sonds. Or that may be just in my head, I’m not sure. I want to fight so bad, I thought.
We have noticed the appearance on this thread of some unfriendly comments directed at other MuseBloggers. Whether or not they are spoken in character, such remarks have no place on the blog.
If the role-playing degenerates into a means of venting personal dislikes, we will not hesitate to shut down this thread as we did with one of the pie wars.
We’re also concerned that some of the violent imagery ventures into excess. Some posts are pretty gruesome to read as they come in over the transom with all the other posts. All that slicing and dicing can be rather jolting even when one gets to the end and realizes the comment is meant for this thread. Something you might want to think about.
((okay, no violent imagery, gruesome fighting, or shoot-outs on this thread. sorry Rebecca. ))
((Sorry, Milady Bunniful!))
((110- I think the first paragraph is refering to me. I apologize.))
((*lets out gasp* Wow, I must be really oblivious, because I didn’t notice any of that stuff. Either that or I was trying to ignore it because I really like this thread and don’t want it to deteriorate and/or get shut down. But anyway, if I was perpetrating any of that, I sincerely apologize.))
((Same here Rebecca. I do apologize. I also noticed.))
((I know we can’t express violent imagery or insult, but that doesn’t mean the story can’t go on. Or can it…?)) *fights swarming bunnies*
I crouched on the edge of the roof of the lab. “Okay,” I whispered to the others. “Shoot good.”
((I think that may be directed toward me. Very sorry. Won’t happen again))
I bang on the door of the lab, having just gotten in from moving a hideout in asia “will somepone LET ME IN! the are flying dragon bunnes out here!
((Hey, can I join?))
((I just joined too, wo dont ask me)) I draw my bunnyblaster and try to fire at an approaching dracon bunny. “HELP” I shout, but the doors stay closed. I see a group of fellow humans on the roof of the lab I begin to climb towards them, still shouting “hep!’
oh no, my bunny blaster is low on power! I need a new wepon if i dont wnat to get sliced to bunny feed!
I continue doggedly towards the small group of humans on the roof, hoping they notice me ((plese?))
“Here.” I stick out my hand, and pull earthgirl up. “Yoo should get inside. if you want to come back up, get more weapons.”
I pulled the pin off a grenade: “here goes.” I threw it hard as I could at the nearest Dragonbunny. It exploded in a brilliant flash of metallic blue light.
((120 – Sure!))
*Blasts Bunnies*
I heard the shouts and blasts issuing from outside. I shuddered- I really hate battles. I went over to groundhog. ((cool- your last post # = Muby Bubirthdubay!)) “Can I do anything productive here? I’d rather not watch.” Of course I just happened to notice the Blue Rinse Grenade thrown by ZVX at that exact moment. Great timing.
Major D. Bunny (a hybrid): Curses! Well, if those humans are going to throw grenades, let’s give them a taste of their own medicine. *Primes a stun grenade*
“Fall back!” I yelled as the bunny veered to avoid the missile and began to prime his own. All around, the other MBers ducked. Bookworm’s shot whizzed past the first bunny, but struck the other squarely on the side. It rolled in mid flight and snarled at the assembled people on the roof of the lab. I flicked the setting on my blaster up, and then set its shooting mode to “Automatic”. I grinned. The bunnies were in for a real surprise as soon as they got close enough.
The bunnies slashed in, hurling the grenade. It exploded overhead in a blast of radiating force waves. I ducked again as the last of the explosive settled onto our heads.
I aimed at the bunnies and pulled the trigger on my blaster. Raging blue jets of fire ripped into the pair of bunnies. Unearthly screeches issued from them as their ears and faces were burned, but it didn’t deter them. Being Dragonbunnies, they had a natural affinity for fire; and therefore were able to withstand the furious shots of the blaster in my fist.
“Shoot!†I shouted, and other blaster beams joined my own. A few people hurled grenades, and the bunnies dodged around the blasters to be met by them. A slow smile spread across my face: we could win.
((please continue! ))
Avalongirl:
Grinning, I tossed the sheen grenade, confusing the bunnies. I then tossed the illusion grenade, and the smoke grenade. The bunnies were so confused, they just hung in midair. “Ź√Ҳ!” I yelled. “They’re wide open!”
TO BE CONTINUED…
110-((That’s probably directed towards my post 105. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to be that mean. True, it was my character who doesn’t like you, TGYPWYA, but I should of been nicer.))
BA.
I then pulled the pin out of a poison gas grenade and threw it. Quickly, I fired a brief series of shots before scuttling into the building. “Retreat!” I yelled. ((Putting BA. at the beginning of Bunny Apocalypse is my idea to make sure no one but those who want to have to see possibly violent Bunny Apocalypse posts!))
BA.
“Right troops,” I shouted over the various booms, bangs and whirling ear sounds that resounded through the air. “GO!”
All around me, anti-bunny artillery was whirring through the sky, now distorted with smoke. “Oh, and Bookworm!” I called to him. “This is NOT a retreat! D’you want to get sliced to bunnymeat?”
128-((That’s great, but what if that post is integral to the storyline?))
BA.
“But then we’ll all get gassed by my poison gas I just released!”
“Yeah, unless you put on this!” I tossed masks from the backpack that I’d brought. I jammed a mask onto my own head as the gas that Bookworm released floated around the bunnies, apparently having no effect. “OK, we need to get down!” The MBers ducked, poison gas flew about in the fierce wind from the bunny’s ears.
A grenade from the doorway flew over my head and crashed into the second bunny, who had now been hit three times, and wasn’t flying as well as the first. (Major D. Bunny.)
(wahoo! we’re going to win this one! )
yes, POSOC was right…
What triggered the warning was comment 105, in which AvalonGirl said, in double parentheses, that she didn’t like another MBer and would kill his character. She later said that her comments were in the context of her RPG character, but double parentheses signify out-of-character comments, and we read them as such. With memories of the ill-fated Pie War still fresh, we decided it was necessary to head off another outbreak of Muser-on-Muser violence.
Even before that, though, the Administrators had been getting a little tired of watching threads turn into gorefests. The dinosaur-dismemberment episode was the tipping point for me. We GAPAs are gentle souls, and we have to read all of this stuff. Have a little mercy on us, please.
134 – Oh yeah! You DO have to read all of that crap! Sorry GAPAs. *bows*
134- “Dinosaur dismemberment?” XP My character is a doctor, but I am substantially more squeamish. I think I’ll stay away from this thread.
135-you know, actually a while ago ‘muselover(insert number here)’ said that she/he preferred that we didn’t use that word…
137 – I don’t remember muselover[insert number], but if they are here, then I apologize.
I’m sorry, oh powerful Coontz. I was mostly behind the violent imagery. *bows head.*
(136) That wasn’t on this thread. It was on the Muse Academy RPG. A Tyrannosaurus rex bit Bookworm’s arm off. Bloodbleh.
yes, that was gruesome. but I won’t be totally violent even though this thread was meant for that…I know what it’s like to have rude or violent blog posts.
140- Bloodbleh indeed. It seems the words “RPG” and “Peaceful” can’t fit on the same thread. Even the PPP has evil health textbooks.
142 – Yup… that is true. MA RPG has encountered Darth Vader, T-Rexes, St. Dane, Saturday, and Sizans.
Dr. Canix returns to offer a bit of contrast.
I stared dully at the split-screen picture in my quarters, thousands of feet below the surface of the Pacific. The radio chatter was harsh and indistinct. Explosions, gunfire. Screams of some poor chap being bunnified.
“Cake it, this won’t solve anything! Whichever way the war goes, a species will be exterminated!”
“Sir?”
Wyatt was standing at the door. “You threw your tray at the screen, sir.”
“Sorry, Wyatt. I’ve been awake for nearly twenty-four hours. What have you got for me?”
“A bit of good news for once. Fiona O’Connell managed to give the bunja the slip and meet our rearguard in the Philippines. She captured a few hatchery specimens, too.”
“Hatchery. Not bunnified?”
“Yes, sir. What does that have to do with… ”
I got up and started pacing the room. “Bunnification is an unnatural process, I’m almost certain. Bunnies born that way are unnatural, too. They’ve got all the dogma right from the get-go. Studying a naturally born juvenile in an environment where there are no other bunnies might give us some insight into what makes them tick.”
“Shall I tell Fiona to meet you in the examination room with a hatchery specimen?”
“You anticipate me, Wyatt. Thank you very much.”
So… can someone fill me in on the plot so that I can join in knowledgeably?
((145 – Certainly. The bunnies have taken over most of the world, and most of humanity is zombified or bunnified. There are a few humans who have gone into hiding, and a few who are actively resisting the bunnies. Those are us. So far what has happened is that we’ve had a major aboveground battle (our hideouts are all underground) in which one of our comrades, Alice, was captured by the bunnies. We attempted a hostage exchange, but not only did the bunnies hypnotize Alice so that they’d have a spy in our HQ, they also sent a black bunny to follow us back to our base. The exchange party realized something was following them, which started another battle. Also, parallel to this, AvalonGirl got bunnified, and someone whose name I can’t remember rescued her. Eventually, after a whole lot of confusion, everyone makes it back into the lab HQ, which is about to be moved to the Marinaras Trench because it’s more secure down there. But the bunnies followed us, so we’re fighting them yet again.))
((-145 Yes, we’re on our way to the trench, but we’re being attacked by trained officer Dragonbunnies. I’m on the roof with a band of MBers, trying to bring the bunnies down. You can grab some grenades and go on the roof to have a dramatic battle, or you can stay down and help the bloggers down here. As has been mentioned though, the GAPAs are peaceful souls, so be careful what you write. (no language, extreme violence, or other painful things to have to moderate.))
I watched the screen carefully. Ź√Ҳ and company were throwing grenades at the approaching bunnies. Strangely, the bunnies weren’t retaliating yet. I wondered why.
Major D. Bunny swore in a language only he knew. Blasts and grenades were peppering him and Lieutenant Pinkclaw. He snarled. Humans! those |)@^^|\/ |=|) humans! ((no one was able to read that were they? I’m a hypocrite. I said no language.))
(double post, sorry, had to get off the laptop and go eat lunch. non blog-time, of course.)
I leaped over to the door. “Bookworm, I’m leaving you in command for a sec. I’ve gotta go get more grenades and blasters, we’re out. Keep order out here, I’ll be back before you know it.”
I dodged inside, and sprang from the top of the ladder and landed with a thump twenty feet below. I opened the weapons locker, pulling the other lethal devices out of the box, ignoring the questions being peppered at me. Arms full, I dashed up the ladder.
“I guess we just keep blasting away!” *Blasts Bunnies*
((So… how do I randomly appear?))
((127- No problem. I can live with a character who doesn’t like my character.))
((146- You can’t remember my name? I haven’t been gone that long…))
*climbs up onto roof* *bongs bunny on head with pie gun* *fires pies at an incoming dragonbunny, slowing it down*
Sir, the humans are fighting off our attack! We just don’t have enough toops to stop them before they reach the trench!
William: SEND THE DRAGONBUNNY ELITES*...THE HUMANS ARE NO MATCH FOR THEM...
Yes sir…hehehehehe…
((*DragonBunny Elites: Nasty, specially trained dragonbunnies that wear full armor and have rocket launchers (or other weapons) attached to the sides.))
((152-I would lurk ’till a moment of calm, and then I or someone else can introduce you a new recruit!))
I rush into the lab “hi groundhog22, what have you got for me? I just arrived from moving a base in europe, and my bunnyblaster is dead.” I glance at the radio transmission decoding screen. “uh oh, I think they’re sendig the elite bunnies. How far has armor destroying technology gotten since I was last here ((which was never… oh well))?”
((sorry for the double post, but can we read the transmissions? sorry if we cant, and just ignore that last sentance))
157- William’s not sending transmissions, that’s just the way he talks. And the elite bunnies are a secret project that hasn’t been revealed until now.
I burst through the door and dumped the weapons on the roof. “Pick you’re targets at will, if we can shoot those bunnies down, then we’ll be in significant advantage.”
I picked up a heavy blaster from the floor and sighted through the improved scope. I fired. With a tremendous bang, the second bunny ((Lieutenant Pinkclaw)) tumbled from the sky, ears whirling weakly. There was another flash nearby and he flipped upside down, still falling.
*dragonbunny elites roar down tunnel, using jetpacks and ears to support thick armor and weapons*
((earthgirl…? Have you been on here before and my faulty memory has dropped your name?))
“Well, I can’t give you a new BunnyBlaster because those aren’t my manufacture, but I can give you a shuriken shooter. It’s a bit old, but it still works like clockwork and the shurikens can penentrate bunny armor.” I pulled the shuriken shooter out of a nearby trunk and held it out to earthgirl.
BA. ((Well, kinda violent. Might be needed.))
Suddenly, as I was laughing at the falling upside-down bunny, I felt a fast wind. WHOOSH! ‘That felt like something cut my side,’ I thought. Than I realized-something HAD cut my side. Badly. “Ã߀ƒ!” I gasped out. “The elites are here!” before spiraling to the ground*.
*= (or into the water, but not on the roof. Are we in the water yet? If so, I fall into the water.)
((I know that because of my previous bunnification, but you have NO CLUE what I’m talking about.))
((158-thanks IBEF, sorry about that
161-nope, i’m a nebie, this is my first RRR))
“Thanks groundhog22 I- (hear avongirl shouting “the elites are here!”)What is and elite? Is Avongirl OK?” I run up to the roof to check things out with my new shuriken shooter. once up there i yell “WHAT THE-” and start fireing as fast as the shuriken can aim
“Ack! Groundhog, can’t this thing go any faster? We can’t hold out!” *blast from elite dragonbunnies’ rocket launcher shakes building*
“Ã߀ƒ’s right! unless we can get to water fast, were doomed!” *has idea* I run over to the sky light and ((that is How i get into the lab right…argh parent attack-))
“Hey Groundhog- those old swords might come in handy now!” Climbing the ladder to the roof with an armload of medieval weaponry, I shoved my burden over the lip. “Guys- here! These might get through the elite’s armor! (unless it is made of titanium in which case the swords won’t help much)”
((Okay. I’ll wait. *lurks*))
We are at the Marianas trench, right? There are just some operatives bringing in the scattered human resistance bases.
“Careful, guys! Those are heat-seeking missles!” BOOOM! *everyone is thrown off feet*
((168- Yes. The Marianas trench.))
((Um, I thought we were next to an underground lake.))
I handed up a bunch of swords to Kittymine. Then I replied to Ã߀ƒ. “I stopped the building on purpose! But I’ll go for our backup plan now!” I shut the roof hatch and moved towards the front of the building and started to jump up and down. Slowly, sluggishly, it began to slide into the lake. With a sudden splash, it fell in, killing the bunnies that were on the building instantly. Luckily everyone else on the outside knew how to swim.
“Make sure they can get back in so that they don’t drown!” I yelled to Groundhog. “There also may be aqua bunnies in the water! ((are there?))”
((POSOC’s at the trench, and we’re all going to the Trench. We just shook off the bunnies first!)) *Swims, and Watches Bunnies Sink*
*elite dragonbunnies hover over water undecidedly, then start flying back*
((I’m still lurking… feel free to introduce me whenever appropriate…))
((No, actually)):
*elite dragonbunnies hover over water undecidedly, then start flying back*
I leaped down over the ladder, grabbing a sword from the box of mideival weapons. “Good.” I said. “Everyone know how to swing these things? If you don’t, go for a dagger.”
I wake up in a chair. the room in which the chair sits room. My hands are chained to the chair. I think to my self “ Bunnies. they caught me,”
A door opens. something hot pink walks in. I try to stand up, but the HPB said “Do not worry. We mean you no harm. We are not evilus.”
I flicked the sword left and right, practicing. “Hmm…been a long time since I practiced…”
((175 – How about now?))
I activated the underwater airlock setting on the front doors. Then I answered my sister. “There aren’t any aquabunnies in here. This lake isn’t connected to any other bodies of water, the water seeps in through the rock, so there’s no way that the aquabunnies could have gotten in, because it takes much more than ten minutes to get from the nearest body of water to here.” I decided to turn the entire building’s systems back on, since we weren’t trying to bluff the bunnies anymore. As the regular lights came on and the computers flickered back to life, I noticed that the trunk that I’d found the swords in was making noises reminiscent of a broken bellows. I rushed over to it and opened the lid all the way. Lying in the trunk, sound asleep (I hoped!) was a very familiar-looking person. I looked at the face and gasped. “Kokonilly!” I exclaimed. “How’d you get in here?” I quickly pulled Kokonilly out of the trunk and onto a cot in the infirmary.
I whirled around from my practice at the sound of Groundhog’s shout. “Kokonilly!” she said behind me. “How’d you get in here?”
I sheathed the sword and stared at Kokonilly. “Wait a minute, did the bunnies somehow shove you in there?”
*Bangs on side of lab (once again) while treading wate* “will someone open up the side door?! *sigh*” I see the bunnies hovering over the water where the lab went under, then they start to fly back. Phew! Ã߀ƒ’s plan worked! not that that helped me get into the lab. I see the lights and hear the hum of the system turning on. I mange to hold my breath long enough to force the doors open and slip through before they get airlocked. “thanks for ignoring me!” I exclaim indignantly then I notice the situation in the lab. “What are all these swords for? and who is THAT?” I as, pointing to kokonilly. ((I hadn’t entered this RRR before he left. I hope this didnt sound rude kokonilly :): sorry, but my character is very waterloged))
((I haven’t checked this thread in a while, but here I am!))
I woke up slowly. “Hi,” I said weakly. I turned to earthgirl. “Who am I? I could say the same for you. I’ve never seen you before.” I turned to ZVX. “Did the bunnies…? I don’t know.” I shook my head. “I can’t remember.”
I am treading water outside the lab, hoping someone will remember to let me in (again!). I hear the hum of the lab systems booting up and notice the lights flickering on. Finally finding the sidedoor, I manage to hold my breath long enough to force the doors open and slip in before groundhog22 turns the airlock on. “thanks a lot for forgetting about me! (indignantly)” then I notice the situation inside the lab. “what’s with all the swords? and who is THAT?” I say, pointing to kokonilly. “What happened?”
((Sorry if that sounded a litte rude kokonilly. I just started, so my character hasnt met you before, and she is waterlogged and a bit irritable
((That was kind of weird, earthgirl. :shock:))
“The bunnies must have had influence over you. I don’t know how it could happen, but I think there’s a chance to find out. Tossing the sword aside, I reached into the depths of my backpack and pulled out my laptop.
“What…” I said, but one of the bunnies stoped me.
“Listen, TMFA, The other bunnies are slowly creeping towards us. You need…”
“I don’t belive you.”
I swim up, coming in the door Earthgirl left open. I call out to everyone else outside, and they scramble in. I shut the door and turn around to see a strange scene. Groundhog and ZVX were talking with two unknown people, one of which had a shuriken shooter. I recognized one of them as having been in the fight with the outside bunnies, so she wasn’t a threat. The other I didn’t know. She was unarmed, but could still be dangerous, like what happened to The Guy and Turquoise earlier. And then I recognized her. Her face had been on “Missing” Posters, quietly circulated through the Resistance Bases. What was her name again? Aah, I remember. It was Kokonilly…
I looked up to see Bookworm. “Hello, Bookworm.” I smiled weakly. “Haven’t seen you for a while.” I turned back to ZVX. “Don’t kill yourself over me. I’m not that important,” I joked. “But do try to get to the bottom of why I can remember everything except how I got into the trunk. It may be important.”
And on that somber note, I rolled over, exhausted, and went to sleep.
Far above the base, a young black-clad girl blinked and shook her head. She glanced around, taking in her surroundings with some surprise. She looked down at herself and frowned. “That’s weird,” she commented. “What happened?” She fingered the sole spot of color on her jacket- a hot-pink rabbit motif. She dimly remembered chaos in a tunnel, whirling multicolored eyes staring into her own, a time of terror, crouched in the bushes clutching a bow. But these memories slipped away even as she groped for them.
She walked to the stern of the boat and gazed out on the empty water. She looked down to see a flickering reflection looking back, brown hair loose around its shoulders, confused blue eyes, a turned-up nose. She took off the tight black cap and shook out her hair in the faint breeze, peering inside the hat for a name, anything. She removed her jacket and found she was dressed in an equally black long-sleeved shirt. “Geez,” she muttered. “Gloomy, aren’t I?”
((I would be very grateful to anyone who can think of an easy way to get me off the boat into the Marianas Trench base. My backstory is that after I ran off during the tunnel episode, I was given some sort of job for the bunnies, and now the bunnies’ hypnosis has worn off, but I’ve lost half the rest of my memory as well. I’m right above the base right now.))
“OK, I’ll TRY not to kill myself…” I quickly typed a search into the keyboard: “BunnyInfo.com”. I clicked on a result. I then scrolled through it until I found an archive labeled: “Non-Direct Hypnosis: A guide to prevention.” I groaned. If it said prevention, then it was probably permanent. it read:
Non-Direct Hypnosis is a particularly painful process, which can only be performed by a black bunny. It is a deadly process, in which the victim is caught in hypnotic gaze and forced into a small space, while holding the hypnosis. The small space is generally a dark box, case or trunk, but other things have been recorded as being used.
In this case, the victim is forced to forget everything involving the hypnotizing, but remain with memories of the rest that happened. More detailed description can be found below.
I didn’t need to look below, this told me all I needed.
((185-sorry kokonilly, I’m still new-ish at this, and I have no idea why the compluter posted two practically identical posts :ashamed:))
“I’m earthgirl. I was stationed in europe and just finished moving the bases there. then the hybrid alert wnt out and I came over as fast as I could” I glance around the lab at the mess and confusion (there is a mess, with water and wepons and everything right?) “So… what do we do now that we’re at Marina Trench?”
“Another hypnotised! @$#%!”
((191 – Hey, I was confused at the time… I had no idea how you would find this out. When I told you not to kill yourself, I was already half-asleep. Must be a side effect of being locked up in a trunk for 48 hours.))
((Double post, sorry, but earthgirl, I think you are introducing yourself to a person who is sleeping.))
I peered over ZVX’s shoulder to look at the search results- anything with hypnosis interests me. “ZVX, what does it mean, that Non Direct is deadly? Is that only if the person isn’t found? Or is it…?” I couldn’t go on. I felt tears coming on- it was so frustrating! How could hypnosis be altered this way? Turning away from the screen, I sat down at the next computer and ran a system’s check. I then decided to view the camera feed from outside HQ. It was lucky I did. As I looked at the overhead camera view, I noticed a large shape partially obscuring the view. It appeared to be curved and made of wood, which could only mean…
“Uh, guys? I think there is a boat right above our heads.â€
I tossed and turned in my sleep, having dreams of a mysterious black bunny.
I sat straight up in a cold sweat.
BA.
“Kokonilly dying? Just after she came back? Really?” I started crying. Kokonilly had been one of my teachers, before she went missing. Now that she’s back, she’s dying. I hoped it could be reversed…
((I’m DYING???? Well, at least I’m awake now.))
I heard Bookworm sobbing hysterically. I walked slowly to him. “What happened? Is something wrong?” He looked at me and burst into tears.
BA.
“You’re… You’re…” I let loose another wave of tears before answering. “You’re Dying. The black bunny used a nasty, deadly kind of hypnotism on you. I don’t think we can reverse it.” After that small calm period, I began to sob again.
191- Death, smeath! Get Kokonilly to the infirmary, or whatever it’s called! There’s got to be a cure…
196- A boat? What? *looks up*
I tried not to completely and utterly freak out and have a nervous breakdown. All I could say then was: “So that’s why I had that weird dream about the black bunny.”
Then: “Don’t cry. It’s fine. I’ll be fine. Shh…”
Bookworm kept sobbing. I turned to Groundhog ((assuming she said that out loud…)) and said, “There’s a cure?” I tried not to get my hopes up.
“A cure?”
((This is making me extremely depressed. I shall retire from this thread for the day. Nighty-night!))
“follow us. We will take you to your friends.”
I stare.
“Follow!”
the bunnies hopped up into the next room.
“A Transporter! How did you get it?”
“You made it years ago. We need your handprint to activate it.”
I slowly touch it, and with a small burst of litght, sends me and the bunnies to… HQ?
I hear bookworm say “A Cure?”
I walk in, with the bunnies behind me.
“A Cure for what?” I ask.
Bookworm starts sobbing again. I run up to TMFA and hiss “Hi, TMFA. They found me in a trunk and think I went under Non-Direct Hypnosis. It’s deadly. We’re trying to find a cure. By the way, don’t mention it to Bookworm. He’s rather traumatized right now.”
I heard sobbing all around. Great! Real tactical, telling someone they are going to die. But I for one would make sure that Kokonilly would NOT die. ((it is not right or fair for any museblogger to “die” in a story, so there)) I hurried over to Kokonilly. “Kokonilly, do you remember anything from the dream you had about the black bunny? It might help us figure out a cure.”
“Calm down. If we hyperventilate, we’re not doing anything for Kokonilly.” I scrolled down through the information, looking for the word “Cure”. When I found it, I was disappointed. It said:
“Curing Non-Direct Hypnosis is a particularly dangerous process. The formula is intensely hard to make and must ferment for two months.”
I stared at the wall for inspiration. Why? It looked like the were no instructions for how to revive someone. Obviously, the providers of the website didn’t expect for anyone to have to deal with this deadly hypnosis. I racked my brains. I was never a very good person for medication, so we’d have to get the Bookworm. Or Kokonilly would…I couldn’t bring myself to think it. It was too much, another person dying from Non-Direct Hypnosis, my FRIEND dying from Non-Direct Hypnosis?
I sat there in shock. Non-direct hypnosis? That was practially incurable. Everyone’s voices swirled around me as I thought. The only way to cure non-direct hypnosis was through more hypnosis–it was impossible to deprogram a victim, but it was possible to give overriding instructions to the victim, which would cover up most of the effects. Taking a deep breath, I said: “Guys, there is a cure for this. But it’s not easy to carry out.”
209- “Gotcha, groundhog. But why would it not be easy? Couldn’t we just do it ourselves? You don’t have to be a bunny to use hypnosis. Or is that what you were saying?”
“Yes it is.” Said jerry, behiend me. “Just use dragon bunny spit.”
-210 “No, I don’t think that’s her point. It’s that Kokonilly has been given mental programming that makes her brain, willing or not, resist the second hypnosis. That makes our job, however easy at first, almost impossible when we take control of here mind.”
“isnt there a different kind of hypnosis than bubby hypnosis? like nervous hypnosis, by massaging technical points connected to specific parts of the brain? ((I have no idea if ths actually exists, but it might help)) Would the programing still make her resistant to something like that?” I look around hopefully, hoping that what I just said made sense to anyone. I see mostly blank stares, a couple of dubious glances, a hopeful face or two, and a few musing expressions. ((I have no idea which expression comes from which person, so their all up for dibs))
“I could try some hypnosis. I studied it, and I’m one of the best human hypnotists. I’m not as good as the bunnies, but I’m pretty good. I was a hypnotist before the bunnies came out…” I paused, musing. Then, I addressed Kokonilly. “I’ll do this, if you want. It’s probably the only way out. Also, I’ve hypnotised you before, so it could be easier…”
((For those of you who are having trouble following the cures, here is a list:
Massaging the technical points (are these nerves in the spine that connect to the brain?)
Dragonbunny spittle (this was suggested by the one of the bunnies with TMFA. Please take note of this fact. We need to deal with it)
A formula that is hard to make and must ferment for two months (is this what is in the Dragonbunny spit?)))
((sorry for double post-214 is too good to pass up!))
“You’re a hypnotist Bookworm? Why am I not surprised?” I chuckled softly. “But when have you hypnotised Kokonilly before?”
-214 “Yes, try that. It’s her only chance.”
“Training, of course! She was my teacher. What a long time ago that was…”
Half an hour later, I proceeded down the sloping corridor toward the scientific wing, with O’Connell and Wyatt in tow. I’d insisted that they not wear full battle armor, but each carried a small depigmentizer gun discreetly tucked into a pocket in case the specimen turned violent. Debunnification serum would, of course, be useless.
The room we’d chosen was extra-secure, having thick, soundproof walls and three doors, each with a unique combination lock. It also had the advantage of a powerful sound system, currently on PAUSE and set to Collected Classical Waltzes. If it worked as expected, we wouldn’t need the guns.
The last door hissed open, revealing a wide room with glaring white walls and a carpeted floor. A small, transparent flap, currently locked, gave us a view into the adjacent chamber where our specimen was being held.
Wyatt broke into an involuntary “aww,” which froze on his lips as O’Connell glared at him. We hadn’t known what to expect from this creature. Only two natural-born HPBs had been observed by humans. One had been captured when the HPB infestation only extended into small patches of Ontario and Minnesota, and all records of that time had been destroyed when the bunnies overwhelmed the Eastern seaboard. The second had been discovered by a fellow in Onslow-Roebourne. He reported his extraordinary find to the Pacific Human Council, set off into the Australian desert on a clandestine mission, and was never seen again.
“Ready to make history?” I asked. Wyatt, paler than ever, nodded bravely. O’Connell gave me a devilish wink and flicked a switch in the wall.
The creature which slunk out of the aperture was rather small, and considerably cuter than we’d previously believed. Of course, the adults had a strange, sinister winsomeness as well, but there was something about them that would unsettle you even if you were unfamiliar with the atrocities they’d committed. Perhaps it was the eerie white eyes and rictus grin. The juvenile, by the way, had expressive burgundy irises and mournful black pupils. The only trace of the adults’ alabaster color was in the corners of the eyes.
Wyatt began furiously taking notes. I could hear him muttering to himself. “Third eyelid… possible permanent extension at certain age…”
The juvenile looked like a smaller version of the adult, with one important detail- it had legs. The ears were stubby, and the stiff cartilage and muscle had only begun to develop. It had previously been theorized that the atrophied limbs found on adult specimens were leftovers from a previous stage in their evolution: now it was clear that the bunnies had fully developed legs for at least a few years, until their prehensile ears became strong and agile enough to help them move around.
((217-what are we going to try again? pressure points?pleese?))
“What Are those HPBs doing in the lab!!! (panicked)” my first thoucht is that TMFA had betrayed us. my next thought was that I was halucinating. as everyone else looks up at my yell, I grab a depigmitiser from the rack and aim it at the bunnies, still not sure about TMFA ((I hope I didn’t insult you with that TMFA, my character tends not tho think before she acts))
((Hey could someone come and un-chain me now that the battle’s over? I hate to ask, but it doesn’t look like you’ll be doing it on your own anytime soon.))
I took a deep breath. “Well, we’ve got nothing to lose. Try the pressure points first, then the –” I grimaced. “– dragonbunny spit.”
“Who ever you are, um, Earthgirl?, Don’t shoot! These are nice bunnies. I remember them. they were helping us in the first war.”
“really!? sorry about that (to bunnies) I was stationed in europe for the firs t war. How did they find you?, how did you GET here?”
I sat down tiredly, rubbing my head. What a lousy day, I thought. I wake up and see some of my former students and closest friends, and shortly after find out I’m going to die sooner than I had hoped.
“I’m going to get some rest,” I said aloud. “Do you have any medicine preventing me from having dreams? You know, so I don’t dream about this black bunny?”
224- “I’m not sure. But We used my old Teleporter. It’s better then I remember. But my brain has been fuzzy for the past few years.”
“But…” Wyatt said, “…it’s just a head with legs. Where’s the torso?”
I peered closer. It certainly appeared to be true. Then I smacked my forehead. “Of course! Why didn’t anyone think of this before?! That is the torso! There’s virtually no neck, so head and body look like a single sphere!”
“Well, that solves one of the great mysteries of HPB physiology,” O’Connell commented. “You’d better get your monograph published quickly, Canix, because I’ll be running to the press ahead of you.”
I was too excited to respond to her quip. “All this in the first five minutes of observation. If we study its development, we’ll get so many insights into psychology and anatomy that we’ll have enough material for an encyclopedia. We have to let Groundhog know about this- it’s potentially the greatest discovery since the Blue Danube Incident*.”
Wyatt, the practical one, spoke up. “If we’re really going to raise this bunny, we’re going to have to feed it and take care of it.”
“Who said anything about raising it?”
“Well, that’s the only option I can see, besides letting it die or bringing in a full-grown doe to mother it- and probably escape and kill everybody in here.”
“You’re right,” O’Connell agreed. “The first problem is food. We have almost no idea what it eats or what its nutritional needs are.”
“Well, what have we observed HPBs eating?”
“Mostly human flesh, but that’s not an option- aside from the obvious obstacles, its teeth haven’t come in yet.”
((*Took place in South Korea when the first wave of bunnies reached the Pacific coast of Asia. It was the first incident to conclusively show the effects of 3/4 time on bunnies, predicted on MuseBlog many years before.))
((I haven’t the energy to think of a way to get underwater. Any suggestions?))
“Oops! Sorry TGYPWYA!” I hurried over to him and released him from the bonds holding him down.
SERAFINA:
“Oh fine TGYPWYA, I’m undoing the manacles. Go check on the lab, there just might be someone there! And that was an order!” I said loudly. As soon as the manacles were undone, I ran outside, hoping to reach any drowning fighters.
“Alright, Kokonilly. I’m going to try to de-hypnotise you with my hypnotism.” I begin to chatter with her, slowly letting my voice grow lower and slower. Preferring un-traditional techniques, I simply mentioned sleep. At once, she fell asleep. Getting back into my stride, I sat down in a chair and released my mind-shape* into Kokonilly’s mind. Her mind was a fairly neat place. There was a bed, some journals, some bookshelves, a computer. Her mind-shape was asleep on the bed. In the corner, however was a large black area. It seemed dank, and there was none of Kokonilly’s neat room there. It was the black bunny’s hypnotism. I put my hands in the area. It felt slimy, and as I touched it, I felt the black bunny’s presence. I hastily withdrew my hands. I then leaned my head into the blackness. At once, I was in a smaller room. It was dark, and I couldn’t see a thing. “Black bunny!” my mind-shape said. The sound echoed around the room. “Come out!” As soon as I said that, out crept the mind-shape of the black bunny. It was an awful, leering shadow being. Slowly, my mind-shape took out a small BunnyBlaster. I was about to fight for Kokonilly’s mind, inside her head…
*Mind-Shape: Someone’s spirit form. It generally looks moderately like them, although one can twist it. You are this in your head.
((231 – WEIRD!!!!!!))
I looked over the Bookworm’s shoulder, but did not interrupt, as it could cause him to make a mistake.
((Are we in the trench yet?))
((232-Could I have some points?))
((231- interesting- you’re definitely right about this being an untraditional technique.))
I too watched Bookworm at work. It was really quite facinating. ‘Maybe I could learn this’ I thought to myself.
((234- I think we are in the trench, but I’m not sure. Groundhog may know.))
((235 – Sure! Do you want spdzk, Punxsutawney, or pie points?))
231- “Could I shake Kokonilly’s head? Would that help?” *is shushed*
((-137 why can’t I have some points?))
I watched in fascination as The Bookworm hypnotized Kokonilly. This was completely beyond any hypnosis that I’d ever seen before. I knew a little bit of it, but… “Wow.” I murmured. Hopefully this would work to rid Kokonilly of the bunny influence.
((239 – You can, if you want.))
((me too! please!))
In a hushed voice I whisper to groundhog and IBEF “Do you thnk I should add some presser point hypnosis? I can only do it to dispell toxins, but that might weaken the long range hypnosis (or whatever it’s called) enough for Bookworm to get the upper hand”
((could I have some pie points, or whatever you’ve got the most of, that way i won’t take Bookworm’s. :-D))
((hello, fellow point begger!: :-D: do you know how they got points in the first place?))
((hello fellow point begger! ::-): do you even know how they get points in the first place?))
((I have 111 pie points. You all get ten. Except ZVX. S/He gets 11. Because I am OCD and HAVE to have it end with 0.))
245- By award.
((247 – Or by trade.))
I sleep peacefully, unknowing of the epic battle about to begin… in my head.
((thank you oh mighty kokonilly!))
cautiously, I come up behind Kokonilly, and begin to massage her mid thoractic vertabrae, sending a banishment message to all toxins in her mind (including black bunny) “I dont know how strong this is, but it should help Bookworm. I just hope it dosnt distract him” I comfess to groundhog and ZVX and anyone else who is there.
” I have a bad feeling about this.”
((249 – I’ve never been considered mighty before in my life!))
((This whole procedure with Kokonilly is REALLY odd. Oh well. It is cool!))
I watched this whole scene with interest bordering on sceptisism. The hypnotic procedures which the others were using were way beyond anything I had ever encountered. I had done much research concerning traditional, “normal” hypnosis in the past. “Maybe I should take notes.” I silently mused. ((get it???))
((Can someone suggest a way to get me into the story? Because I have no idea (see title)))
((Zinc, pray that they don’t immediately throw you into a life-threatening situation. ))
BA.
((Thank you for the points, Kokonilly!))
I, (my mind-shape), shot my BunnyBlaster at the Black Bunny’s Mind-Shape. It snarled, and clawed at me. I winced, and shot it again. It came crawling towards me, and attempted to claw me. Suddenly, however, a pale, weak mind-shape appeared. It was Earthgirl. ((Weak, because she’s using pressure point hypnosis!)) The black bunny was confused, and began advancing on Earthgirl. I screamed “Play!” and tossed a small object to her. She extended one of her arms and caught it. It was a CD player. She pressed play, and a waltz began. The black bunny writhed in pain. Mercilessly, I blasted it several more times. It twisted, and fell to the ground, screaming. It twitched, and fell still. After a minute, it began to disintigrate. It wasn’t bloody, as all it was was a hypnotism. “Shame that wasn’t the real bunny…” I said to Earthgirl. After a few more seconds, the dank room also disintigrated. We found ourselves in Kokonilly’s Mind Room again. The black area was gone. After a minute, Earthgirl and I left Kokonilly’s mind. ((Through the door, just in case you were wondering!))…
Back in Real Life: I yawned and stretched. “I’m glad I’m back!” I said to the crowd of the Resistance. On another bed, Kokonilly woke up, as did Earthgirl. I was so happy the hypnosis was reversed!
253- You could be Fiona O’Connell. She has been a NPC up to this point.
Backstory: She’s a bunny researcher from Ireland who has spent the past five years in Korea-Kyushu*, trying to evade the bunja**. She just managed to escape via the Philippines and capture a juvenile bunny from one of their hatcheries. We’re currently in the lab studying it.
*One of the pockets of human resistance, consisting of a South Korea remnant and the southernmost island of Japan. Its population has been evacuated to the Marianas Trench base.
**The elite fighting force of the East Asian bunny occupation district. They’re experts both in armed and unarmed combat. (All right, HPBs don’t have arms, but that doesn’t stop them from pouncing on you and immobilizing you with a series of cleverly-placed ear chops. They haven’t figured out how to grip shuriken yet, a fact for which the human resistance should be thankful.)
I woke up and said wonderingly “Is it gone? Am I fine?”
“Yup! You’re fine!”
At this wonderful news, and under all of the pain I had endured, I broke down and bawled.
((I’m from the Philippines!))
((256- Er… no thanks. I like to start out on a character that has a clean slate that hasn’t had anyone writing for them before I came in. But thanks for the thought!))
259- In that case, you could be one of the people who’s come in from the evacuated human enclaves. You’d be somewhere in the Marianas Trench base living quarters right now. The Trench base is more like an underwater city than a military base, but it’s still massively overcrowded.
((Again, a word of warning to Zinc: Pray that they don’t immediately throw you into a life-threatening situation. ))
O’Connell snapped her fingers. “Of course! I brought back a few samples of substances I found in the hatchery- one of them could be the formula they feed to the infants!” She rummaged around in her capacious pockets, pulling out a bundle of sealed plastic bags with various noxious substances inside them.
“Wyatt, get those examined, please. I’ll continue- ”
Loud music interrupted me. My wrist pager was playing the Diabelli Variations. The top priority alarm.
I activated the screen.
ALL OFFICERS REPORT TO CENTRAL COMMAND EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
I dashed out of the room. A message like that could only mean one thing.
I flipped open my communicator and called General Valentine. “What the cake is happening?”
“Half a dozen bunja submarines to the north-west, closing fast. They must have followed O’Connell here.”
I sighed with relief to see that Kokonilly was okay. But there was still one pressing problem…
“Guys, we still have to figure out what to do about the boat above our heads.”
((Would it be okay if I put myself in a half fantasy? I was thinking that while the HPBs were taking over the Earth’s surface, my town had fled underwater with devices that we could use to stay underwater for an infinite amount of time that were invented by myself, but we didn’t need them when we evolved to breathe underwater. When you were in the middle of your battle of the tunnel, The AquaBunnies attacked our very nice underwater town and killed everyone but me. I swam to the Marianas Trench base seeking refuge, bringing all the old underwater breathing devices with me. I am not a merperson. Is that good?!))
“Boat? What boat?”
262- *has just walked into room to hear bad news* “Bunja submarines? They build submarines? Man the guns! Does this place even have guns? Torpedos? Or anything?”
“A boat above the Trench? What could that be? Wait… I hope the bunnies haven’t found this base too…
Having JUST stopped crying, this wasn’t exactly helping. “They… found it?” Already feeling faint from the battle and weeping… I fainted.
Can I be in one of the submarines?
I catch Kokonilly as she falls. I put her on a bed. “She really needs sleep! We all do! Not that we’ll get any…”
((Well, technically, I already was asleep, but I don’t think a hypnotized-induced sleep counts.))
“We have torpedoes,” I said in response to IBCF’s question. “General Valentine’s having them primed.”
The upper torpedo batteries fired as I finished my sentence. Streaks of bubbles cut across the screen, darting into the middle of the bunja formation and detonating in clouds of murky smoke.
“Two subs destroyed, and one appears to be damaged,” an officer reported.
((thanks for the points, Kokonilly! oh, yes, I am male.))
-266 “Sure. Mounted Blasters, R-252 BunBombs, grenades, handheld Blasters, R-842 Anti-Bunny cannons, and so on. Oh, a good old-fashioned FlashBlast. But the idea is, we simply don’t have enough people to actually operate them. There’s pretty much…” I took a quick count of the assembled.†Seven MBers, including myself.” I laughed mirthlessly. “There could be a total army of bunnies on the submarines. They’d destroy us. Oh, sure, we’d undoubtedly by heroic and brave and would kill many of them. Then we’re dead. Game over.”
((sorry it took me a little while to post. failing internet connection. ))
((190-Your boat sinks?))
((Since no one is answering me, I guess I’ll just start! ))
In a separate room in the base, I punch in the code that opens the airlock. I climb out of the pool. I never realized that my clothes would be so wet. I never noticed it. I didn’t need to. The doors slid open, and I walked into the room. â€Who are you???†asked POSOC. “It’s Zinc. Zinc the sorceress, to be exact. I lived on land until the bunnies took over. And then I lived underwater. Oh, and did I mention that about an hour and half ago, AquaBunnies†I seem to use the word like it was something that I found on the bottom of my shoe, “attacked my underwater town, which is about ten miles from here?†“WHAT?!?!†everyone yelled. Wyatt stammered, “Does that mean we have less time then we thought?†“Yes and no,†I replied. “The AquaBunnies followed my false path away from the base, but then I went through a kelp forest and made a copy of myself. It’ll survive a week if they don’t try to bunnify it or hypnotize it. I t explodes. But they probably found out it’s a ruse and started going the other way. It’ll take around twelve hours for them to get here. But,†I paused, and emptied my backpack of the UIBDs, “I brought the old Underwater Infinite Breathing Devices. You can have them. Don’t need them…†and I broke of at the thought of my baby sister who hadn’t matured enough to breathe underwater independently. As the others examined the UIBDs, I wandered over to the porthole. I missed the city I had help thrive, and thought about its demise. All of that work lost to those miserable bunnies. I’ll get them, I thought. They won’t stand a chance…
275- I was going to answer. It’s been established earlier that William had never been able to bring any aquabunnies over to his side. Also, how did you get into the base?
((276-I swam. I can go faster than those bunnies, anyway. All evilus bunnies feel hostile toward humans. They found us, they killed us, I escaped, I probably lead them to the base accidently. They will kill us if we don’t kill them. Great, now we have to forces going against us, and the AquaBunnies can breathe boiling hot mercury at us. They’re a special breed.))
277- I know you’re genetically modified to survive underwater, but this is the Marianas Trench. You’d have to be in a submersible to survive the pressure, gills or not. And how did you get the access codes to open the door?
((278- I actually had a platform installed the trench when we made the city. I went on MuseBlog, too. I don’t know. I’m making it up as I go along.))
((Sorry to double post, but instead of platform, I meant submersible.))
((277- Zinc, we’ve already made it a fact that all aqua bunnies are nicegoodius. You can’t change pre-established rules.))
*bunja submarines start firing torpedos at base*
From Zinc the sorceress:
((Nice picture!
SERAFINA:
(I’m psychic, ok?)
I grabbed a IUBDMB (Infinite Underwater Breathing Device of MuseBloggers) and ran outside, knowing someone would slowly be sinking, wrapped in something-or-other. And, I was…CORRECT. AvalonGirl drifted around. For some reason, she was drifting up towards the boat! I swam towards her, but she was too far away. Suddenly, My leg was caught! I twisted and realized-that it was seaweed.
((Ok, I guess we’re skipping to the part where we’re approaching the trench.))
I punched a button that controlled a periscope on top of the building. I looked at the periscope screen, and saw the boat floating above us. I switched on the x-ray filter and looked again. There was one person in the boat, and that person didn’t appear to have any bunny toxins in his or her system, as the filter didn’t show any of the characteristic irregularities that it normally did when looking at HPB-infected people. But who would be out in the open without having gotten bunnified? The answer came to me in a flash. Alice. She’d gotten hypnotized, not bunnified. And that would be why she hadn’t gotten bunnified, because she’d been hypnotized already. That was probably Alice sitting there in the boat. And there were bunnies in submarines shooting torpedoes at the base. They hadn’t done any major damage yet, nor had they noticed the aproaching building, but it was only a matter of time before they really damaged the base and/or noticed the lab approaching. “Guys?” I said. “Anyone who’s got the strange bunny connection, can you try and tune in to it? I think Alice is up there in the boat and you may be able to contact her that way. Also, you may be able to figure out something about the bunnies in the submarines that way as well.”
The five bunnies next to be start to Talk out loud.
“no, no, Bunfication bad!”
“Don’t allow them to take over!”
“You are going to be destroying the Nicegoodus!”
“Become Human again!”
I look at them.
“What are you doing?”
“We are stoping alice from being bunnyfied.”
AVALONGIRL:
I was vaguely conscious. Twisting, I felt the water, and then wood and cool air. The air was what did it. My body wouldn’t, couldn’t take all of it in-so my last scrap of consciousness faded.
SERAFINA:
“PPth! MMpg!” I spluttered. The water made it so I couldn’t talk, AND the seaweed was slowly bringing me into a deep crevice. I didn’t know what was in there, and I didn’t want to find out.
((Someone help Serafina, please? AND Alice, AvalonGirl is next to your boat. She has wings.))
I flinched as a torpedo from the bunja submarines exploded rocking the lab. The sub was firing like it’s very life depended on it; sending missile after missile at the lab. “Everyone, man the guns!” I activated a BunBomb programmer on the wall. I typed: *+=ter_+bunny=R-252 immediately, a BunBomb fired and detonated with an explosive crash. water boiled all around the building.
i raced to a stack of BunBombs and started loading them into a launcher. On second thought, I loaded all five launchers and using a longsword ((there still aroun right?)) I aimed each at a different target, and fired them instantainiously. 5 bunji subs blew up, but the vibrations knoked the launchers out of position. As I struggled to put them back in firing position, I hear a CRASH and am knocked to the floor
“Uhhh… I might still have it, unless Bookworm operates as good as he says,” I replied to Groundhog’s request. I closed my eyes and concentrated on my murderous dream/memory. I heard a faint, distorted “kill†as I entered the connection and then was in a boat in the middle of the ocean, looking straight at someone I recognized immediately as Alice. But before I could even tell if she too felt the connection, I was whisked away and saw something that made my heart skip a beat. I abruptly opened my eyes and said, “AvalonGirl’s in trouble! She’s unconscious on the surface, easy pickings for bunnies!â€
“someone has to get alice off that boat, and AvonGirl our of the water!” I cry. “someone take the Bun BLaster!” I grab (anyone whos not doing anything else and donst mind being grabbed) and explain how to fire all five at once. then I dive for the pile of IUBDMBs and strap on on, and dive out an open porthole (I am very small as anyone who read MA part 3 knows)I swim up, to AvonGirl first, she seems in the most danger. she’d been bunnified before, so it would be easier to do it agailn.
((And I’m sleeping through all this? Wow.))
((oh yeah I forgot about that… do you want to suddenly wake up and man uh woman the BunBlaster?))
((oh yeah… do you want to awaken suddenly to take control of the BunBlasters?))
((oops))
((Uh… sure… whatever.))
I woke up sleepily and walked out of the infirmary. “Whaaaa? What happened?”
“No time! Take control of this!” Earthgirl
“Whaaaa?”
“No questions! Just do it!”
Somehow, I knew how to operate the thing. After destroying a couple bunny submarines, I had to duck a blast and got knocked into a wall. Bruised and battered, I rushed back into position.
((Why is no one paying attention to me?))
BA.
Two people stranded outside! Bunnies Attacking! Out of one danger, and onto another! NO Downtime! I stood near The Guy, ready to operate if he was possessed again. Kokonilly controlled BunBlasters, while ZVX fired torpedoes and Earthgirl rescued stranded Friends. I wished there was some way I could help…
“Hold on, I might be able to get rid of those bunnies!” I exclaimed, and before anyone could say anything, I plunged back into the “connection”. I “entered” one of the Bunja subs, and in a menacing voice, called out, “Bunnies! This assault is unnecessary! There is no need to spill any extra hot pink blood! I have infiltrated the human base and will begin my attack momentarily. Turn back, for if you don’t, William forbid something happens that kills us all!” I immediatley severed the connection and said, “Well, that should hopefully head off those bunnies!”
((297- I am paying attention to you, TMFA. I’m rather confused right now, though…))
The girl shook her head, as strange thoughts popped into her head. “Nicegoodus?” she wonder aloud. “Bunnification? What are those?”
There was a struggle in the water next to her, and she turned her head and peered over the side of the boat. A girl with wings was floating, tangled in a piece of cloth.
The thoughts continued coming. The girl’s eyes grew wide and she shook her head again, desperately. “What are you talking about?!” she yelled.
The boat pitched. She careened against the bulwarks, and then she was over them, hitting the water with hardly a splash and sinking down into the depths.
just as I am about to reach AvonGirl who is tangled in seaweed, there is another explosion, and waves crash overhead. when this is about to calm down, I hear another splash, thisone much smaller. I look up, amd see Alice floating, or shoud I say sinking above me. I can’t take both at once! I’m not that stronf a swimmer. “I hope these things have a radio built in…”i mutter then call “this is earthgirl! alice just fell overbaord an I need backup to rescus them both ((this might be a job for TMFA ))!” I grab Alice and start to struggle to AvonGIrl, but I know I wont make it
I think to me self, “I’m a writer, for koko’s sake, not a hero.” But I stoud up.
“I’ll Save her!”
I Jump into a wetsuit.
I grabbed a wetsuit out of the locker as well, and struggled into it. If Alice, Avalongirl, and Serafina were up there, then it would take more than one person to get them down to the lab through the water. I practically jumped through the airlock and into the ocean.
I hoped that the submarines wouldn’t notice me as I swam to the surface. AvalonGirl was floating on her back–thank goodness we hadn’t removed those wings yet–and Alice was sinking. I swam up to her and caught her. I knew that there was only a short amount of time before she would stop breathing, so I quickly swam back to the airlock and brought her inside. She appeared to be unconscious. I checked her breathing. Nothing. I laid her down on the floor and gave her rescue breathing. After a few rounds of that, she began to breathe on her own again, although she was still unconscious. Presumably, she was still hypnotized. After ascertaining that there was nothing else seriously wrong with her, I picked her up and carried her to a bed in the psych room. I decided to dehypnotize her now, since her mind would be exhausted from the lack of oxygen. I scrounged around for a boombox–my own CD player was still broken, having taken a hit by the bunnies–and slipped a CD of calming music into it. I left that on for a while, making sure not to hypnotize myself with it. Then I began to speak in a low, slow voice. “Alice” I said. “You will not wake up just yet. In fact, you will go into the deepest of sleeps…deepest of sleeps…deepest of sleeps…You will relaaaax…” I watched as her body, tense from her near-drowning, became as limp as a noodle. “Veeeery goood.” I said. “Now you will wake up, keeping your eyes on me.”
((304- Are we all hypnotists or something?))
((305 – No, I was just copying what the hypnotist dude did in his show a few years ago (you weren’t there) when he was hypnotizing a whole group of people.))
((Ummm. I know I am, Earthgirl is, and Groundhog is. I’m not sure about everyone else!))
The girl opened her eyes. So tired… A vaguely familiar face hovered above her, saying things in a soft voice.
((I know I wasn’t there- I was at home playing Mille Bornes with our parents who also didn’t want to go. In retrospect, I actually wish I had gone. Oh well. Also, 307- I don’t think everyone is, it’s just that we have a bunch, and they seem to be springing up out of nowhere.))
“Guys! Don’t panic!” I dragged a rope out of a locker. “Hopefully AvalonGirl will be able to grab onto it. And earthgirl just blew up a couple Bunja subs, so they’re kind of out of commission for a little while.”
*feels useless* *walks over to torpedo launcher and looks for enemy subs* *sees one* *fires* *misses*
“Ã߀ƒ! be careful that you hit next time, I just checked the weapons supply, and we’re running low.”
SERAFINA:
Suddenly, I screamed. Well, almost. “MMPPGGLLAASDAAAAAAGYADA!!!!”
(TRANSLATION: OH MY @$%&^* GOD! THAT THING IS HUGE!!!!!)
And it WAS huge. It was a large, gigantic, bunnyfishsharkthingy! I kicked and splashed, but to no avail-I couldn’t move! In terror, I suddenly looked to the side, and there was earthgirl! My eyes went wide. ‘Why would she do this?’ I thought. ‘She’ll die!’ As the air was SQUEEZED from me, I felt something take out my IUBDMB. THAT was when I fainted.
((earthgirl, AvalonGirl is floating and Serafina is about to be probably eaten! Serafina is also going to suffocate.))
()
Seeing groundhog22 and TGFA coming, I breah a sigh of relief, the I here a muffled scream behind and beneath me! serafina! I whirl around, and swim for her as fast as I can, drawing my shurkin shooter ((are they water proof?)) and trying to fire at the weird and scary sharkbunny thing that has her. The first hit makes it turn around and look at me, but not draop Serafina. the second makes it drap her, but she is already unconsious. I dive for her, firng backwards, but I know I wont hit it. I hope somone else has a big blaster to take this thing out… ((from the lab or other rescuers who are unnocupied, it dosnt mattet :hopeful:))
“A sharkbunny?” I ran outside, armed with a BunnyBlaster. I fired at the bunny several times, hoping to hit somewhere unarmored…
I pulled out my sword, taken from the box of weapons in which we had found Kokonilly. I swim through the water towards the bunny’s back, raising my sword for a stab at it’s unprotected neck. The Sharkbunny was beginning to kill Serafina in earnest. Suddenly a blast of boiling water overhead made me flinch as a BunBoom grenade-illegal, according to Eragon-soared over me. behind me, but bearing down fast was a bunja submarine. I reached for the blaster in my belt and fired into the nose-cone of the sub. At that moment, the submarine shot a dart into my chest and I sank to the bottom.
((-314 how did you hear Serafina scream if you’re underwater?))
BA.
I shoot rapid fire around the sharkbunny and the bunja sub, not caring where the shots went. While AvalonGirl was still alive, there was no way to reach her without being pulverized by the sub. Hopefully, she could tread water until we could reach her… The Sharkbunny had begun sinking, as it was dying. It looked like ZVX, Earthgirl, and I had finished it off. However, Serafina was still in it’s grasp. It seemed she might go down with it. There was no telling whether a shot had hit her, or whether she had suffocated, or whether she bled to death from a Sharkbunny bite, or whether she was still alive, hoping we could save her. But it didn’t seem that we could. It also appeared that ZVX had fallen. He had taken down the Sharkbunny and crippled the Bunja Sub, but there was no way he could’ve survived a direct dart wound to the chest, possibly poisoned. Even if he could’ve on land, there was no way he could stay conscious enough to swim to safety. We had lost him, and Serafina. Mercilessly, I continued firing on the Sub, pummelling. Yet there was no way revenge could match up to the feeling of losing a comrade…
I swim fast.
SERAFINA:
((This is in 3rd person, because she’s unconscious.))
As the bunnyfishsharkthingy sunk back into its crevice, Serafina was pulled in too. Since she had been hit by 12 shots, the red mist of blood began spreading out of the cave. Suddenly, she was pushed into a side tunnel, and into a cage of bunny steelironsilverbronzeacid. There seemed to be no way she could escape….
AVALONGIRL::
((In third person.))
As AvalonGirl floated, she was hit by a net of SOMETHING covered with tar, and pulled underwater and started to be pulled into a bunja submarine.
309-((My ACTUAL little brother is the undisputed champion of Mille Bornes. WHYYYY??!!))
((I hope it’s okay I just almost killed myself, I mean, there’s not many characters left standing, is there?))
I floated inches over the bottom, hair splaying. A dark presence began to creep into my mind, but I was completely paralyzed, helpless. The dark presence jabbed in sharply, slicing my consciousness. Above, a face loomed up, and I saw something that I never thought I would again.
Two black ears.
I continue firing at the Bunja Sub.
((I’m writing out-of-character, since I’m in stupor.))
The black bunny’s face creased into a fanged grin. His ((is it male or female? It seems more like a male character.)) luck couldn’t have been better. Revenge against that filthy human…that…HUMAN! The thoughts blazed inside his brain. He drew a dagger from a sheath at his waist, and laid it across the Human’s throat.
((309 – That’s what you were dong then? Playing Mille Bornes??))
Alice opened her eyes. “Alice” I said softly. “Who is giving you orders?”
The girl blinked. “Alice?” she said slowly, dreamily. “Alice?”
“You are! Snap out of it!”
322- *wildly fires torpedos* *torpedo hits black bunny, who is thrown out of the water though the weapon does not explode*
*another torpedo damages a propeller of a bunja sub, which goes out of control and starts hurtling towards the base*
((Whew! I thought that i was going to die, and therefore be excluded from the RPG.
((Oh well, perhaps I will kill off Serafina. However, she IS a witch…*giggles*))
AVALONGIRL:
((All of my post is in third person.))
As she was drawn into the submarine by the net, her reflexes activated and she started to kick wildly, kicking some coral. The coral hit the window of the base, causing people to look at her…
SERAFINA:
Waking up, she realized that she only had a minute. She clenched her fists, concentrating the energy into HUGE bursts, and let go.
BANG!!!
The explosion killed the bunnyfishsharkthingy once and for all, and propelled her out of the cave and toward the bottom-where another explosion had just taken place. Somehow, she managed to complete the spell for underwater breathing…and swam towards Ź√Ҳ , pulling him up off the bottom.
((It was a huge explosion, that changed colors!))
((A Witch?))
329-((A good witch. She can use spells and fire energy bursts, use telepathy, and create force fields…hey, she’s 13.))
((136- I felt the bubbles? I had to notice her, and I was typing fast :confused:)) ((uhhh I’ve been away too long and feel useless, I think i’ll go rescue AvonGirl)) Instantainiously, THe sharkbunnythigamawhatist explodes and I miraculously see Sefrina Floating free. Groundhog has alice in the lab…where’s AvonGirl??!! just then a net shoots out of the sub, wraping around (oh THERE she is!) Avongirl and Starting to reel her in. I kick towards the net and making sure she recognises me, pull out a stone dagger that never dulls (a gifft from my grandmother who was a earth worshiper((would anyone mind if I got MINOR earhth powers?))) and begin to cut the ropes of the net. of course, the bunja see me and point the guns at me, but I wont abandon AvonGirl. As the Slug shoots out of the barrel, a wall of wood (that WILL NOT break) expands out of nowhere protecting me and Avongitl from the bunja wepons. I finish cutting the net, and keeping the wooden sheild towards the bunja, call to Sefriana over the radio waves in the IUWBDOMB (or whatever) to “lets go!! the bunja are approaching and this shield only garuds one direction, get behind it and go tho the lab!” ((i didnt forget you ZYX, you are unconsious)) as she reached me, the sub called reinforcements and we were surrounded on all sides. as the guns were primed, the shield expanded once more to surround us in a capsul of wood, propelling us to the doors of the lab ((sorry for the long post))
((I don’t get it! I thought the only magic in this RPG was hypnosis…))
I watched the scene in the water unfold. Grabbing a wetsuit and an oxygen tank, I pull on the gear. Ordinarily, Groundhog would be best for this, but since she was busy with Alice, I would have to do. By the time I got my gear on, the only one left to be rescued was ZVX. I loaded my suit up (it has dart shooters), grabbed a blaster and a floatation device and headed out the hatch, propelling myself toward the sinking ZVX (the black bunny was winded by the torpedo, but otherwise undeterred.))
((sorry for the double post))
((332- I dunno. I mean, I think I also assumed that, but we didn’t really put out any sort of magic restictions. We could deal with that now, I suppose.))
((Well, she found a mysterious pendant near a meteoroid, and it gave her powers.))
334-((Serafina’s with ZVX too! Read post 328! Sorry for double post-I’m leaving for today!))
((Is it too late to join?))
((No, I don’t think so!))
((-337 no, go ahead and join. You’ve arrived at a most dangerous moment, but maybe you could somehow materialize out of the water and slay the black bunny?))
((Quick question- What does RPG stand for?))
((ikd-340)) ((I think earthgirl got her powers from her grandma, (post 331, the stone dagger bit) but they have been dormant untill now. If anyone is REALLY offended by this, she donst have to have them, and the shild caould have been an emergency setting on her wesuit, but Ikind of like powers ::-D:)) I drag Avongirl into the lab, and istantly the wooden capsule dissolves ((or gets colapsed back into the suit for people against magic)) I pump on her stomach and a stream of water spurts out. One wing is at a cooked angle and she is still unconcious. this is really a job for ((anyone who wants it)).
((341- I’m not against magic, per say- but let’s not take it too far or we’ll all be doing miraculous feats that will ruin everything. (though I doubt that will happen. I actually think that your powers and Serafina’s powers are cool.)
((141-thanks! yeah, all i was thinking about was calling any local plants to my aid, or talking to trees and/or animals. would animals include HPBs? would it be too wird if i could speke bunnyese? shoud I just stick to trees?))
“Um… who has had any medical training at all, and istnt tending to anyone else? AvonGirl is still in a stupor, and I think her wing is broken ((you still have wings rigt? do you mind that it is broken?))
SERAFINA:
((In third/first person. Just for fun, as she is conscious. Hehe!))
As I grabbed ZVX, I realized I couldn’t hold out much longer.
I swan towards the window, and started battering on it with all my might. “ASDAQ SDASDASDA! GORDFD MI SHETY! SWE SSADASD WOIUH LASD RTWDS LFHDGH!*” I saw the bunja submarines closing in, and muttered the incantation for protecting: “Santen Kesshun! I reject!” A box of light formed around me, making sure the bunjas couldn’t get to me…at least, not for about 10 minutes.
*-(Translation-“Help me! ZVX is heavy! The spell won’t last much longer!”)
343-((I have wings…and it really should be, at the least, sprained.))
((Jeez! Why is it that someone always seems to gain magical powers in all the RPGs?))
*wisely decides to stop firing torpedos* *watches the action in awe*
((sorry about that. mabey they can just be really flexible and not hurt at all !)) ((344-did you come with me when I had the sheild? post #331, I guess not. *sigh* well that’s what I get for writing other peoples parts. shame on me !))
((346- do you really mind? they are VERY minor, and not much use underwater. we really should start to tend to the wounded and waterlogged again, the bunja too. we can talk about magic powers at the same time))
__
seeing as everyone else seems occupied, I start to tend to Avongirl by myself. I unbend her wing and *phew* it isnt broken at all! wow, she must be amazingly flexible! her pulse is constatn, and she is breathing, barely.
346-((Well, I didn’t want Serafina to DIE…))
I move over to Earthgirl, and take over tending for AvalonGirl. I pull out my first aid kit, and begin to apply bandages and such…
I quickly open the airlock to let Serafina and ZVX in. Then I go over to earthgirl and AvalonGirl. “Does you need any help? I guess I’m gonna be helping the injured until someone who is better equipped returns. Who else is out there? Serafina and ZVX are coming in mow, but…” My voice trailed off as I looked out into the melee.
((-340 in the museworld, it stands for Role-Playing Game. In our world, it stands for Rocket-Powered Grenade. And a random tip to AvalonGirl; if you pull the dart out of my chest, then I’ll at least be able to MOVE, and therefore push us upward in the water. And, before I hit the submit button, you can always join, KaiYves. We actually have quite a few open positions, here’s a list of them:

((I’m already “Skilled Hypnotist”, I think.))
SERAFINA:
I gagged, and pulled the dart out of ZVX’s chest. Suddenly, I felt dizzy. I looked up, realizing I was on the floor, but everything looked blurry…
Then everything went black.
(NO, I didn’t prick myself with the dart.)
AVALONGIRL:
((Third person! Teehee!))
AvalonGirl stirred. She suddenly was wracked with seizures, and heard something in her head:
Kill when they’re surprised…
Suddenly, her back snapped straight. And she continued to have seizures.
((And the italics should end at the word surprised.))
[HTML Gnome to the rescue.]
((‘Suddenly, her back snapped straight. And she continued to have seizures.’ shouldn’t be in italics. Sorry for doubleposting!))
I plummet out of the sky in my probe, as an alien from Titan, but seeing !ZVX!’s list, I quickly retreat to Titan, trying to avoid the violent bunnies…
354-((THANK YOU HTML GNOME!))
((352- I choose…….. the Dithering Idiot ok, um, how about scientist/engineer/warrior? (you know, for weapons and such)
Baylee was in the lab looking around at the injured people. ZVX had a dart in his chest and Avalon Girl’s wing was just fixed. “Why don’t you pull the dart out before you tend to it?” Baylee had just finished fixing a nuclear pie launcher, and was drawing the details for the under water pies (which seemed to be needed a lot at the moment) she worked quickly and quietly. Hoping she could get them ready in time.
But retreating to Titan, I found that the orange bunnies had invaded, so I hurry back into space before they see me. I hurry to Earth without knowing what I should do.
“I’m from Titan!” I call, not knowing if anyone will care…
((*has nothing to say*))
((I’ve been gone for a couple of days. I was at a wedding. Enlighten me.))
361-((When was your last post, Kokonilly?))
((362- Her last post was #296, I think.))
((Yes, it was. Wow, 66 posts since then!))
((-361 Sure, here’s what’s happened:
We were under attack by bunja submarines, but we blew up all but one, which is right now circling just out of view in the water with a crippled nosecone. (Which I induced) Anyway, AvalonGirl and Serafina were both out in the water, but now pulled back in. And I’ve been shot in the chest by the bunja subs, so we’re not in the best position here. ))
((So what am I doing? Still firing or what?))
((ooh new people!!! HI ))
((alice was an a boat them n the water too, is she inside yet? yeah, man wahtever we have and I hope you brougt amo with you. how are the tiatan pies coming?))
I move asside to let Teh Guy and Bookworm take over. I mill over wh at happende outside the sub, with the wooden shield, and try to do it again. needless to say, it dosent work. ((hey, I’m new at thes!)) I sigh and head over to the BunBomb larncher. I cant even see the last bunja sub, much less shoot at it, so I’m feeling pretty useless. just then AvonGirl starts to have violent spasms ((are you fighting bunny influence here?)) I rush over and help the guy to secure her. “Booksorm, Hypnotise her! NOW!!! ((if the spapsms are bunny based)) I reach for her back and begin to massage the spinal points. this time, I can actually see myself in Aongirl’s mind… (bookworm?…))
It had been a routine job. All radio signals from a primative system had stopped, and headquarters wanted to know why. As I flew past the planets, towards the third one, site of the civilization, here and there I found metal constructions, robots that somebody had built, all now dormant.
On the moon of the third planet, there were flags and footprints in the dust, boots and telescopes and other artifacts that somebody had left behind. But now, there was nothing.
The third planet itself was mostly ocean. I was stopping to enjoy the view when something collided with my ship- a defunct satellite.
I spun out of control, toward the ocean…
((are we in an uner water cave or open ocean. open ocean would work better for this part:)) Just as I had lowered myself into Avongirls Mind, a HUG splash rocked the lab. the vibrations and waves sent every thing everywhere else, and people too. I glance out the porthole and see a huge shape clouded by bubbles crash into the water and crush the bunja sub ((congrats kai! youare a bunja slayer! )) “what is THAT!!” I yell to the pther occupants of the lab, all of whom(exept Avongirl and mabey bookworm)) rush over and look. no the bubbles are clearing and I can just make out the shape of …
((gah! two long posts in a row! sorry about that))
((um, where am i?))
The whole place shook, Baylee’s hand slipped, and the Aquatic Pie blew up. “Ah well, I might as well go and see what made it blow up,” she put on her water suit, “I’m going out to see what happened, ok? If I’m not back in 15 minutes, use the aquascope,” she opened the hole and dived into the water. A ship was sinking fast and she Baylee could here some knocking at one of the windows. Someone was in it. She quickly swam toward a window and frantically looked around inside. On the opposite side of the ship was a person trying to get out. Baylee boosted to the other side and used an airlock opener. She attached it to the window and pulled. It came out and the lock was still on it. Baylee tried to get the person’s attention for they were already far below the lab. The person looked and nodded. Baylee pulled and there was a huge blast and the a bubble. The person came out and was holding her breath. Baylee shoved a bubble breather on her that was almost going to pop because of the pressure. She was hoping it would hold. She turned the power switch on (this was the first time she had to use it, so she was also hoping that would work) and put on the jet. She shot up, but it died after a few seconds, she was a little closer to the lab but not close enough. “Come on, I need a miracle,” the suits air tank was running out. The bubble breather was close to bursting. A small blue shape was swiftly moving through the water. Pain in her shoulder. She pulled the lever on her arm that brought out the water grenades she had been working on and blindly threw one. No explosion. Finally when it felt like all hope was lost, it exploded. And it all went black.
((My post 354 is showing what my characters are doing. I’d make a 3rd character, but that’s just crazy…))
((I was at camp for three days, and when I got back, I had homework. I don’t know what to do with myself.))
I grab a torpedo and aim. I fire. I miss. “Aargh! I can never do anything right with my arms!” I say, and I kick the torpedo. I hit the foot launcher with my foot, and I blow up a submarine. “Cool!” I kick it again. “Whee! What fun!” Kick kick kick kick.
I jumped away from the BunnyBlaster.
“Cake,” I muttered. “I should really start paying attention, Baylee. Baylee? …BAYLEE?”
I dove into the water and searched for Baylee. There she was, limp and unmoving. I dragged her to the surface.
“Oh Baylee, please, please, wake up, please wake up, PLEASE…”
I swam with the bubble breather, pulling the person who had saved me, still in shock.
There is still intelligent life on this planet. And it’s under attack. I thought.
((Okay, what’s going on? I miss one day, no, 12 hours, and I’m confused. Can we get everybody inside so we can regroup? Is everybody inside already? Am I losing it?))
((377- Last question: Yes.))
((What is happening?!))
In this terrible confusion, I can just stand there. What can I do? I don’t know this planet well enough to do anything. But I did take out my Titanian pie maker and started making some pie, which I offered to anyone who wanted them. I was very bored, but yet, I couldn’t do a thing.
“Pies from Titan!” I sreamed. What else could I do?
((377 – I know! Gone for three days… utterly bamboozled…))
AVALONGIRL:
((In third person…*sighs*))
(When she was captured by the bunnies underwater, they managed to penetrate her mind, setting up the hypnosis again. Kinda like the hypnosis Kokonilly had on her.)
Bookworm glanced around. AvalonGirl’s mindshape was sitting up, staring at ……….darkness. With streaks of hot pink.
((Different post for Serafina!))
((Sorry Bookworm, but you’re still in my mind. Gotta get the story going!))
As AvalonGirl is unconscious, standard hypnosis would not work. I finished bandaging her wing, and after making sure she was not life-threatened, I began to hypnotize her. It was a hard task, involving plenty of whispering. After a few minutes, however, I felt the familiar feeling of full hypnosis wash over me. I felt my Mind-Shape blossom out and join EarthGirl’s inside AvalonGirl’s Mind Room. It was a completely different case type than Kokonilly’s hypnosis. While in Kokonilly’s head, the Mind Room was all fine except the small black-bunny area. In AvalonGirl’s mind, however, everything was hot pink. None of her room looked safe, it was all mossy and slimy. However, two AvalonGirl’s were in the bed. One was our AvalonGirl, while another was still completely bunnified and evil. It seemed we hadn’t fully gotten rid of the bunnification. I looked to EarthGirl’s MindShape, who seemed shocked. Neither of us knew what to do…
I saw an underwater base and swam to what looked like a sub bay.
((?????))
(Should I go away?)
“BAYLEE!” I screeched. “WAKE UP!!!”
I attracted the attention of a couple of people.
I twitched slightly. The poison was wearing off, allowing my limbs to move fractionally.
Baylee gave a shudder and coughed up some water. “Thanks Kokonilly,” she grimaced. That was a close one. Very close.
I sighed. “Oh good, you’re okay! I was so worried!”
Baylee grinned,”That’s what I’m here for!”
((I feel ignored—why?))
No one seemed to want pies, so I went into my probe for something more useful. But the probe slipped, and the next thing I knew, I was in the water. I quickly transformed the probe into a submarine and drove until I came across a safe-looking rock. I parked. What will be my next step? I wondered. I sighed. Would anyone ever notice me?
“Of course. You’re here to worry me.” I rolled my eyes and grinned.
((-390 er… what are you doing?
((392- I wish I knew…))
I snoozed in the submarine and wondered what a Titanan can do on Earth. Am I making others nervous? I wondered. But then I drifted off…
((Earthgirl? AvalonGirl? Help, I’m all alone in AvalonGirl’s mind…))
With my toes hurting and my torpedo gun out of torpedoes, I stop kicking the torpedo. Everyone was being examined by someone or examining someone. I felt useless. Looking for something to do, I looked out the window. There was something that looked like a submarine on the ocean floor. But it wasn’t a bunny sub. “Well, if anyone cares, I’m going in my submersible to investigate the sub on the bottom of the ocean! I won’t be gone for long! If anyone carres…” I say as I I climb into my submersible and head toward the sub.
This thread is weird.
((396- It is.))
((GAAHH! Only gone two days and things have gone flying! Oh well. At least I caught up.))
I pulled off my wetsuit- there was no need for me to run outside anymore since Serafina had rescued ZVX. To get away from the crowd by the doors ((we have a bunch of new bloggers on this thread. Hi guys!)), I walked over to the computers and started to play Spider Solitaire.
397-((But…is it weirder than…*drumroll and music sound*…Bunny Apocalypse, Part 1??!!))
(Bookworm, earthgirl, you’re still in my mind. Everyone else in the lab, Serafina just fainted.))
((HTML Gnome? ‘Bookworm, earthgirl, you’re still in my mind. Everyone else in the lab, Serafina just fainted.’ Is not in italics. ))
((398 – I feel your pain/annoyance. I actually couldn’t go on for three days.))
“Yes, Alice. That’s your name.” I said to her. “I need you to tell me something. Who is your master? Your boss. The one who tells you what to do.” I sighed inwardly. This bunny hypnosis was tough to undo, and I was out of practice, given that the bunnies hadn’t bothered with hypnosis for years.
I twitched again. The poison was wearing off.
(( /a/ I hope I haven’t missed something important. /a/))
I yawned in my submarine. Bored, I looked out the window, expecting an Earthling to come at any moment. I wondered how the Titanians were dealing with the orange bunnies on Titan, and started up my pie- making machine again. I admired my jagged Titanian pies, which were rocky and icy… and not too delicious.
((Where is EarthGirl? And is it time for a new thread, maybe?))
((Yes, new thread!))
