Curse

Hopefully this narrative won't earn me a trip to the Sardelac Sanitarium. I remain confident in my faculties, though, because I learned last month that even the oddest story from the most peculiar source can turn out to have merit.

A talking rabbit approached me earlier this week. Yes, indeed—floppy ears, cotton tail, and buck teeth. At first, I thought The Frog was playing a trick on me, for he is notorious for enjoying practical jokes. Convinced he took me as a fool, I asked him, bluntly: "Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?" To which he responded, calmly: "Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?" Despite the cryptic response, I soon came to realize that I was not talking to my amphibian friend.

Normally, I would have dismissed this occurrence as the outcome of an overly generous serving of rice wine. However, the hopping hare convinced me to stay a while and listen to what he had to say. I am certainly glad I heard him out, for he imparted valuable knowledge about the upcoming weekend.

Those who enjoy working toward various titles should pay close attention to the musings of this bunny. Much like the strange shamrock-themed items that appeared a few weeks ago, we can expect to see more odd trinkets popping into existence this weekend. According to my erm…source, two items will show up at week's end. The first is a chocolate bunny that provides quite the sugar rush when consumed and, due to the decadent amount of sugar in this confection, rewards those who indulge with two points toward their Sweet Tooth title.

The second item is a mysterious golden egg that supposedly gives a temporary boost to one's abilities. In addition, this oval treat is reputed to provide those lucky enough to find one a point toward their Treasure Hunter titles. And, as if that were not enough, I was told the mysterious contents of these golden eggs also grant one point toward the Sweet Tooth title. Truly a three-fold blessing!

I believe this strange celebration revolves around a "fertility" theme. We are just beginning the Season of the Zephyr—often associated with matrimony, courtship, and fertility—so this odd occurrence may not be a simple coincidence. I only hope that this furry vision was not the result of long hours spent in seclusion within the monastery archives stoking my imagination with the promise of gold and chocolate treasures. All work and no play makes the Scribe a dull boy, as they say. But, the last time I checked, hard work didn't make one hallucinate about talking rabbits. I suppose we shall learn the truth this weekend...

Ah wait, this is a post from the Scribe. Was wondering what you were rambling about, MSecorsky

Adding a wee bit of mystery makes it fun. Besides, thought it was obvious.

Arduin · Apr 04, 2007, 07:59 PM // 19:59

Well, got me curious about it, nonetheless

I asked him, bluntly: "Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?" To which he responded, calmly: "Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"

Donnie Darko qoute nice. Wonder how many other people caught that. It is a rather creepy scene in a movie theater where the psychotic bunny unmasks himself.

I wonder what this weekend holds, perhaps something fun to go with hard mode and the additional storage. I cannot wait.

lol I would freak out if that Giant Bunny from Darko showed up in the game as a monster ...would be cool

I missed St Patties day because I was off camping.

Hope to score some nice treats this weekend, though!

That would be simply awesome if the Donnie Darko bunny was in the Game.

They're generalizing bunnies.

Discrimination I say.

((this oval treat is reputed to provide those lucky enough to find one a point toward their Treasure Hunter titles))

hrm will the eggs act like chests and drop an item?

Yaga Philipe · Apr 05, 2007, 02:23 AM // 02:23

Makes sense, probably drops something that has to do with the holiday though. Maybe more sugary things.

bill dennison · Apr 05, 2007, 07:24 AM // 07:24
