Folklorist on the loose, you've been warren'ed

[hope_springs]

To the wiggy hen upstairs,

Just... do me a favor, will ya? Get serious about this. I mean, if you're gonna do it, do it, sheila, but for great googies' sake, don't just go watch the bloody movie again. There's books - all of yours, yeah, and that Joyce fella's too - to sort me out. There's more to this Bunny than wisecracks, y'know - that'd be the showpony's department.

I'm the Guardian of Hope; a little cheer now and then doesn't kill me. There's aesthetics, planning, imagination, dedication, craft, and... and passion to what I do for the kids. Don't take that away from me, ever. The "kangaroo" knocks are plenty.

... Oh I don't worry about the combat prowess at all, dove. I know better than to doubt you on that.

We got a pact then? ... Alright.

X EAB

That was worse than my cold front joke

[likestohavefun]

Hey now, I have quality wisecracks.

Well you did raise the bar with it

[hope_springs]

[Grin.]

Debatable.

I'll take that as a compliment

[likestohavefun]

Hah! Fact.

Good XD

[hope_springs]

Oh come off it, you can't ever do better than "kangaroo" - what makes you so witty?

This tag has been brought to you by 5 am

[likestohavefun]

My charming personality, and really great timing.

[theboywiththebook]

I'm sure your mundane will do great. They always try hard. You just have to have faith.

[memorycollector]

My mun is working on reading the Joyce books right now, too. She just finished North's, so you're up next.

Yep, I need a laughing icon

[hope_springs]

And you have a monopoly on that now do ya?

[hope_springs]

Thanks, mate. Sounds like you've been around this buggery a mite longer than me. What's your name?

[theboywiththebook]

I think it's been about 7 months now. But, my name is Henry. And, you're the Easter Bunny, aren't you?

[Because...it's really not that hard to tell with this kid.]

[hope_springs]

Haha, excellent! What a doll yours sounds like. In 10 days this lucky lady goes home, my book will come off the reserve list at the local library, and Bob's your uncle. There's lots to be done before then, though.

[hope_springs]

'Sright, Henry. You're one sharp tack. Must have always believed in us to not be surprised to see me, hm?

[theboywiththebook]

Well, if fairy tale characters are real, than it's not to hard to believe you are.

[hope_springs]

[He sits down on his haunches to be more Henry's height. He's smiling and curious.]

Really? Which fairy tales are those?

your bunny is awesome, never lose his muse.

[theboywiththebook]

All of them. They all happened in a land called the Enchanted Forest.

o///o Gah thanks, I'm flailing over here

[hope_springs]

Enchanted Forest, huh? [He's lightly tapping one hind foot while he thinks] Never heard of it, m'self...

How do you get there?

[memorycollector]

At least it sounds like they have a plan, right? I'm sure she'll know your whole story in no time.

[likestohavefun]

Well... okay, you've got pretty good timing, too.

The personality, definitely.

[hope_springs]

[And up comes the haunch again aimed for that skinny waist of yours, Jack.] What a prawn you are. Goin' on about giving compliments, an' the only kind you know comes with a blowback.

[hope_springs]

I'd like to see them keep up with us, Toothy.

[theboywiththebook]

Magic basically. You have to use a portal.

[memorycollector]

It'll definitely take a lot of work on their part, that's for sure.

[notaglitch]

The Guardian of Hope, huh? Does that make you some kinda superhero then?

[likestohavefun]

[He's staying well away from that threatening limb.]

C'mon, you expect me to say you're better than me at pranks?

[hope_springs]

Pranks, no, but you were talking about personality, mate, which is something very different.

Culture, aesthetics, knowledge -- I got all that and more!
