☼{007}{ic, open} Jackalopes

[tetoncowgirl]

[It started with one of those little beasts, which was enough to convince Cody that it was some sort of random hallucination. There was some fur (brown and white to be exact), rabbit ears, and...antlers. Yes, antlers. If she needed to clear herself up any bit more, antlers are what you see on male deer. So obviously that was just something she

He watches her stalk by. That's... certainly unusual.
Miss... Cody? Wha're ya doin?

[tetoncowgirl]

[Unusual isn't even half of it.]

Huntin'. This is important.

[devilwentdownto]

Bu'... yer... wha'?

[tetoncowgirl]

I'm huntin' jackalopes. [As she says this, she looks down a hallway, keeping her hands solidly around her rifle. You never know when one of those little monsters will show up.]

[devilwentdownto]

Jack... jackalopes? Buh... ah ain't heard a'... a real jackalope.

[tetoncowgirl]

Then ya either never saw anything out of my place or ya listened to the wrong people. [In a week, she'll laugh and say she's never heard of a real jackalope either.]

[devilwentdownto]

W-well... ah ain't... ever been ta yer place.

[tetoncowgirl]

Then ya listened to the wrong people! [And here is where Professor Cody Oakley magically appears.] Okay, jackalopes are kinda like regular deer, 'cause ya got a buck with antlers and a doe with none. They mate durin' thunderstorms, they live in sagebrush fields, an' they send hunters off course by mimickin' sounds. That's why people can't catch 'em so easy. Get it?

[devilwentdownto]

He nods slowly.
O-okay... Ah guess?

[tetoncowgirl]

But you have to remember this, if ya don't wanna be misinformed!

[devilwentdownto]

O-okay... ah guess? Bu' wha' could a lil'rabbit with horns do?

[tetoncowgirl]

Well, if you're misinformed, they could maim you and rip out your internal organs. They're little monsters.

[devilwentdownto]

Bu'... w-wha'?

[tetoncowgirl]

[Oh my god, she's horrified! If you don't know this, you couldn't survive for a second out West, which is obviously teeming with jackalopes.]

Yeah! They're vicious! Those horns ain't for show, ya know.

[devilwentdownto]

Bu'... they're... deer horns... an' they're rabbits.

[tetoncowgirl]

Yes, and deer horns on a rabbit make a jackalope. That's science for ya.
