Rabbit follows the notes to the edge of the meadow, sees them float above the forest and disappear high atop a mountain

Rabbit enters the forest, carefully. It is dark amongst the trees.

Rabbit walks right up to the mountain, chops it down with the edge of it's hand (voodoo rabbit)

Rabbit can't do this yet, Rabbit becomes scared

Eat carrots to acquire energy for the adventure

Rabbit can't find any carrots, Rabbit becomes sad

We are now on a search for our beautiful snowy white mountain bunny soulmate

Rabbit finds hope and dreams, Rabbit is not quite as scared

play recorder to summon notes that will guide rabbit through the forest to the mountain

Rabbit plays the recorder and the forest lightens up. Far in the distance rabbit hears a bird echo the tune. Rabbit becomes hopeful and can now see in the forest.



vanisher posted:

Stay strong bun!

Looks like it's night, keep an eye out for a safe resting place like that hollow tree nook

Rabbit can't climb trees yet, Rabbit feels frustrated

Manifisto posted:

ya, a campfire is nice too, and sometimes attracts the attention of friends

like that owl up there


the owl might like some music

like, say,

Rabbit can't start fires yet, rabbit is frustrated.

Rabbit hears an owl far in the distance, Rabbit is scared it might be a large owl who eats rabbits but hopeful it is a small friendly owl

follow the bird noise, ask about the owl later

Rabbit follows the notes and soon finds a little bird sitting in a tree singing Rabbit's tune. Rabbit waves to his new friend Little Bird.


vanisher posted:

magic notes and also friendly bird? Be strong and follow notes path.

Soon we will see notes from the other side and will be able to follow these

Rabbit is happy and hopeful.


Manifisto posted:

this, songbird is a better bet than the owl, maybe we've got a duet in the offing

Rabbit plays a duet with Little Bird. Little Bird is very pleased.

Manifisto posted:

ask whether little bird knows what's at the mountain top

that is, if rabbit has a way to ask

if he can't talk, maybe he could draw the mountain in the dirt, point to the peak, and shrug inquisitively?

Rabbit draws the mountain in the dirt, points through the trees towards the peak and shrugs inquisitively. Little Bird sings a song of a lonely Rabbit who meditates under a tree on the mountain's peak.


vanisher posted:

Time to attempt communication with our new friend.

Let's see if we can play a song and continue along our note's path and perhaps he will follow us and aid us in our journey

Little Bird is more than happy to help Rabbit follow the notes


vanisher posted:

While drawing in the dirt lets look for perhaps stray lucky feathers or other useful items

Rabbit looks for useful items and finds none but does find some fresh clover growing on the forest floor

it is very important to stay rested on your adventures, something that many exploring lagomorphs seem to forget.

Rabbit feels sleepy.

nibble clover (but not before checking for 4+ leafers, those don't get eaten) and take a nap

Eat some clover to keep energy up
Make sure to pick a piece of clover and stash it to bring as a friendship offering for the mountain bunny

vanisher posted:

+1 if we can snag a quad

Rabbit sits beneath a tree and nibbles on some clover, making sure to pack some away for later and finding a single four leaf clover amongst the patch. Rabbit feels energized.


Macnult posted:

ask the bird about the owl

Rabbit gestures to Little Bird questioningly about the owl. Little Bird grows nervous and sings a song of Old Owl who prowls the forest looking for prey, descending upon little creatures who stray from home or fall asleep too early. Rabbit grows nervous about taking a nap here.


lol about the speed comments coming while I was out doing errands, promise this thread will be quick and over in 24 hours time, I needed a distraction today, ty to those who are taking part and helping

let's start hopping in the direction our friend points and have him scout ahead real quick and report back to keep us out of danger

Need to keep that quad safe, let's see if we can secure it to our flute.

best to keep an eye out for streams and fresh pools so we don't get dehydrated on our journey

I think rabbit should head to the mountaintop and see if little bird would like to come

but does anyone think rabbit needs any other equipment/friends to make the journey?


water, yes, that's a good idea

maybe some friends to be found there

Rabbit fastens the four leaf clover to the recorder with a bit of root then follows Little Bird and the notes. After some time the two find a stream flowing through the trees. Little Bird sings about the fresh clear water and takes a drink before flying over to the other side to scout ahead. Rabbit lies by the water, taking a drink and clearing his head, wondering if he has all he needs to make the dangerous climb up the mountain. Rabbit feels refreshed but pensive.

Rabbit searches by the stream's edge and finds a maple stick, then spends some time gnawing it into a suitable staff. After washing his paw pads in the cool water he pulls up some of the reeds and tastes their nutritious roots, storing some away with the clover to increase his provisions. Rabbit feels content.

Little Bird has still not returned yet so Rabbit spends some time poking into the water hoping to find a friendly fish and gauge the water's depth. He spies something shiny on the stream's shallow bottom but it quickly becomes obscured as his maple staff stirs up the sediment.

Luvcow

One day nearer spring


Rabbit waits for the water to settle then carefully swishes around some of the tasty roots, somewhat sad that no fish come to greet him. While holding some vines with one paw he reaches in with his other and manages to grab hold of the shiny object, pulling it up to the surface where he cleans it off to reveal an old magnifying glass.

Rabbit plays the recorder in hopes that Little Bird will answer back but no echo of his tune returns to him. Rabbit grows fearful that Little Bird may have gotten into trouble. He is somewhat sure that he could ford the river if necessary as it does not run to deep or flow to fast.

Luvcow

One day nearer spring


Rabbit looks around to see if he can make some sort of raft to cross the stream, the cold water making him think of the chilly mountain climb that lies ahead and thoughts of whether Little Bird might need something warm too. From across the water Little Bird's tune faintly sounds so Rabbit pushes ahead and fords the stream, his maple staff helping him make his way.

From behind him Old Owl's screeches echo through the trees, sending panic into Rabbit's heart.

Luvcow

One day nearer spring


Rabbit takes a mighty leap and lands on the far shore of the stream, scampering quickly to the safety of a patch of brambles on the other side. Little Bird's song continues faintly in the distance as Rabbit's heart races, something is flying toward him through trees.

Old Owl alights on a branch above and glares into the briars at Rabbit then perks his head as Little Bird's song reaches him.

Luvcow

One day nearer spring


Rabbit steps from his hiding place and begins to play the recorder, his notes float through the trees and reach Old Owl who beings to dance before flying about in joy. He lands on the forest floor and sings to Rabbit, thanking him for his song and promising not to eat him today.

Little Bird's song still sounds in the distance.

Luvcow

One day nearer spring


Rabbit plays another song for Old Owl, one about his friend Little Bird and Rabbit's journey to the mountain's peak. Old Owl sings again to Rabbit, thanking him for the tune and then gently picking him up in his talons, the two soar through the forest following Little Bird's notes.

At the edge of the wood Old Owl leaves them, nodding goodbye then flying silently back into the trees. Rabbit and Little Bird rejoice at their reunion and Rabbit takes a few moments to rest and nibble on some of his provisions. The base of the mountain lies ahead, it's peak stretching high into the sky and disappearing into the clouds.

One day nearer spring


Rabbit climbs for most of the day, the air getting thinner and colder as he goes. After several hours Little Bird stops and mournfully sings about the cold, letting Rabbit know that this is where he must leave him and return to the forest. Little Bird thanks Rabbit for letting him come this far and wishes him luck on the remainder of his journey, the two stand on the mountainside together for a few moments and appreciate each others company while the frigid mountain winds blow over them.

Luvcow

One day nearer spring


Rabbit plays a tune for Little Bird and the two embrace before saying their goodbyes, promising to meet again when Rabbit returns from the mountain. Now alone Rabbit sits back in the grass and munches on some of the clover and reed roots he'd packed away and admires the view around him. The forest, the streams and rivers and lakes and the meadow he grew up in and land he'd never seen before his climb. A feeling of peace and serenity washes over Rabbit as he rests, knowing the final leg of his journey lies just ahead.

Luvcow

One day nearer spring


Rabbit climbs onward, growing cold and weary with each step. Just as he begins to doubt that he can make it he sees the outline of a tree ahead, the peak now just within view. As Rabbit draws near he sees a familiar form sitting beneath the tree, lost in meditation. A warmth rushes into his heart.

Luvcow

One day nearer spring


Rabbit awakes beneath the mountaintop tree having finally found his way. Beneath him the land stretches out in all directions, the world lies before him. He breathes in the cool mountain air and reflects on what he has learned, from where he came and those that helped him find himself. Rabbit sits peacefully in the grass, content, no longer lost or lonely.




Thank to you to those of you who helped Rabbit in his time of need and to those who quietly followed along. Otherwise it would have just been a single picture of a little rabbit.
