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

Stay strong bun!

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

I'm impressed by how fast you're turning these around, they are all amazing

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

+1 if we can snag a quad

(ooc: yes excellent drawings and drawing/scanning speed!)

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

We should clean our paw pads in the water to make sure we don't get a blister hiking up the rocky cold trails. Looks like there are some sticks and roots poking out, we should see if we can pull on one and get a little emergency food if we get above the treeline.

Let's splash the water to see if there are any helpful water friends and to see if this stream is safe to cross.

(tldr let's look for a staff)

Agreed

Perhaps a stream stick will have a little root on the bottom and can serve as a staff/emergency food source!

Let's see if our root tugging turned up any tasty grubs we can share with any shy water friends

Perhaps if one appears he can see what that shiny thing is

Let's play our recorder to help entice a fish friend and see if our feathery friend is okay and can reply.

Many streams are made from melting snow, we could follow the stream up to its source

Okay bun, our feathered friend might just be out of range so lets not jump to any conclusions.

I vote cautious fording and travel towards where our friend flew off to

good thing that, as a rabbit, we've got leaping skills!

I'd say, as soon as we're close enough, take a mighty leap to shore

dive into a briar patch

keep still and watch nervously in the direction the sounds came from

If the sounds seem distant and we judge the situation safe to scurry +1 vote on the mighty leap. Let's make some progress to our friend through some underbrush if available.

Plan of attack, option 1:

Time to put the spotlights on old owl with a bit of magic recorder playing. Let's play him a lullaby which will light up the forest and make him sleepy. He'll surely fly back to his tree and take a nap.

Defensive plan, option 2:

Fashion some kind of rabbit/mouse decoy and toss it in the water. The streams current will take it away and the Owl will follow, we can then make our way out to safety and off on our path.

excellent result

Let's see if Mr. Owl can fly quickly to our bird's rescue. Perhaps he can gingerly carry us in his talons.

e: we should set up some kind of trust test first to be sure we don't become his lunch

It's a sad moment, but little bird helped by finding us the best way up the mountain. We will return someday with an offering from the mountaintop for your friendship little feathery friend!

We can't march on forever, let's keep going while the sun is out but keep an eye out for any safe spots such as:
- hollow logs
- abandoned caves
- tree nooks we can reach
- abandoned igloos

okay, but I think a short breather now is not a bad idea. it's the journey not the destination and when hiking it's always good to stop to admire the views. also you never know what might be right nearby if you don't look around once in a while.

Throwing my full support behind admiring views and taking a breather

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.
