Rise of the Guardians || Just saw the movie a second time today to firm up voice!

[kangarabbit]

Not so firm on your Aussie slang yet are you? Well I got a word for you, and it's "gumby". 'Cause that's what you're being right now, mate.

Look, I've had centuries to be me. Centuries! And what have you had? A week at most? It's not all gonna come at once. You're gonna get nowhere fast if you get stuck on the slang of all things, and you don't wanna get stuck anywhere when you're tryin' to be a rabbit. They don't say "quick as a Bunny" for no reason. Who do you think got that phrase started? Yeah, that's right.

Now what were you sayin' about slang, ya dingo-faced Sheila? Whinge at me again and I'll chuck y'on the barbie, wotcher.

... You're an Aussie.

[Right. Going to go ahead and put another checkmark on the list of things he has to see before he's seen everything.]

[kangarabbit]

Not just any Aussie — the truest and bluest. I made the place, mate.

[hasstandards]

[And cue his disbelief.]

You're a talking rabbit, and you're saying you made Australia. I'm not sure who's mental here: you, or your mundane for puttin' up with such nonsense.

[kangarabbit]

Ment— You wanna call me that again? You wanna try callin' the six-foot tall 'talking rabbit' with the boomerang and the toothed dagger 'mental' again? I dare you to try.

[hasstandards]

It doesn't matter if you're six feet tall or six hundred feet tall, mate. You're still a rabbit. And besides—

[He pulls out his kukri.]

Mine's bigger.

[kangarabbit]

[Not that is a knife. Be that as it may, Bunny is not swayed. Much.]

And you're still slower than a rabbit, I'd wager. Doubt you wanna test it.

[hasstandards]

I can be pretty fast when I need to be. You wouldn't be the first rabbit I've turned into a handbag. You'd be the biggest, though.

[He does not want to test it, but this is what he gets for being a ball of masculine pride.]

[kangarabbit]

[Okay now he can't hide that this is getting him riled up and uncomfortable.]

You know it's times like this I wish I kept a Naughty list, 'cause I bet you'd've been on it when you were an ankle biter.

[hasstandards]

A naughty list? Who are you supposed to be, Old Nick?

[kangarabbit]

Don't even start with him! I'm E. Aster Bunnymund.

[Leans in and glares hardcore.]

A.K.A.: the Easter. Bunny.

[hasstandards]

[Another pause of stone-faced disbelief.]

The... Easter bunny.

[And then he starts snickering. That turns into hoarse laughter. A six-foot tall, talking, knife-wielding rabbit claiming to be the Easter bunny. Really.]

I want to frame this thread and hang it IDE <3

[kangarabbit]

Right, that's it. I don't have to put up with this abuse.

[Here, have an egg bomb in your face. Hope you like being magenta.]

Me too. I'm loving this. <3

[hasstandards]

[He's still laughing up until the point the egg hits him in the face. There's confusion, followed some coughing as he's enveloped in a puff of colored powder, and then—]

What the bloody hell is this?

[His vest is pink. His hair is pink. His aviators are pink. HIS SNIPER RIFLE IS PINK.]

Alright, what did you do!?

[thefirstguardian]

[Giving Bunnymund the 'tsk-tsk' face. You should be nicer to your mun.]

8D <333

[kangarabbit]

What? I'm just givin' her some friendly encouragement's all.

[Don't give him that look. You know he's weak to that look. You know he's— oh, yep, there's the guilt, right on time.]

^_^

[thefirstguardian]

[Sandy rolls his eyes a bit and golden sand swirls above his head, forming into a vaguely female shape with a barking canine head.

He fails to see how calling your mun a dog-face is encouraging. Feel all the guilt.]

Re: ^_^

[kangarabbit]

I-it was just a joke, Sandy! She can take a joke, right Mun?

[...]

Oh come on! It was all in good fun!

[Bunnymund looks back at Sandman and sighs.] You're gonna make me apologize, aren't you?

[thefirstguardian]

[Doesn't look like she's taking it well~

Sandy smiles and nods, the sand dog-woman disappearing. Your compliance pleases him.]

[kangarabbit]

[A second sigh even more drawn out than the last.]

All right, all right. Mun, I'm........... I'm sorry, all right? I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I just don't want you to worry so much, yeah? You're a ripper of a writer and you're too hard on yourself sometimes. So long as you care about playing me and bringing joy to all the roleplayers you thread with? There's plenty of hope for you, kid. And don't you forget that.

[Turns back to Sandy, looking a little more at ease but still unsure.] Better?

[thefirstguardian]

[Sandy nods again, smiling wide and warm and bobbing up into the air a bit.

That wasn't so hard, right? Keep that hope flowing properly.]

[fernfrost]

I think sometimes you do that just for the looks on everyone else's faces.

[memorycollector]

I think we should probably avoid putting anyone on the "barbie", Bunny...

[finestfish]

I'd say she's got a better handle on it than mine does, mate. And she's had me for more than a year and a half now.

[frostborn]

What difference does it make? You're already unintelligible half the time. I bet if she had you speaking gibberish no one would even notice the change.

[theboywiththebook]

You just have to have faith that your mun will try their best.

[Because we all know how important faith and belief are, right, Bunnymund?]

[kingofnightmares]

More rodents. Just what this place needs.
