The Plot Bunny [Video/Voice]

[mr_plot_bunny]

[There's a scrambling noise, a clicking like claws on plastic. The feed kicks in, revealing nothing but gray fur at first. Then whiskers, then a big dark eye, then sharp slicing teeth, then, after a second, an entire rabbit looking into the camera. Its nose twitches thoughtfully. What a cute little

[There is a very long pause while L tries to deal with the metaphysical implications of a talking rabbit. Just give him a sec, he'll be fine.]

First question. Are you responsible for our captivity?

[The Bunny's twitching nose comes close to the 'berry again.]

You can turn on the video, kid, it's not like I'm going to hurt you.

[He shakes his head]

Nope, not me. The boss is.

I'm not a child. [Nothing defensive about that statement, he's just stating a fact.] Our conversation can be held perfectly well like this.

[He's not taking orders from a talking bunny.]

Who is your superior?

[Private, Audio/Video]

[mr_plot_bunny]

Bet I'm older than you. Fine, have it your way.

[Murmurs something that sounds like it could be "freak."]

The Author.

[Pffft. He's been called worse.]

Rabbits do not have a long lifespan. Who is the Author?

[mr_plot_bunny]

Well this one does! What do you mean who's the Author? The Author's the Author, the one writing this thing!

What makes you stand out from other rabbits?

All authors have names, unless they do not want to take credit for their ideas. Is the Author so magnanimous he or she doesn't have a name?

[mr_plot_bunny]

Well, I'm talking ain't I?

If she's got a name she doesn't use it. What the Hell is magna-whatever?

[hunch_ofjustice]

...

I see.

What does she want from us, precisely? And is she willing to negotiate to allow us to leave?

[Private, Audio/Video]

[mr_plot_bunny]

She doesn't want anything from you, she wants you. She needs you to write this damn thing.

But this isn't a story. This is reality.

[Or is it.]

[Private, Audio/Video]

[mr_plot_bunny]

Nope, story. It's funny how close stories and reality are, you know?

[Private, Audio/Video]

[hunch_ofjustice]

If this is not real, where are our bodies while our unconscious dwells in this manor?

Re: [Private, Audio/Video]

[mr_plot_bunny]

It is real, buddy!

[Private, Audio/Video]

[hunch_ofjustice]

... Fiction is not reality.

Re: [Private, Audio/Video]

[mr_plot_bunny]

Can be. It's reality to the people in it. What do you have to say to that, smart guy?
