Footsteps hits Bright's rabbit ears. Within a moment, her muscles tensed. Something knocked into her. Without thinking, Bright lashed out at whatever had attacked her - only to see that it was Chipster. Sucking in a breath, she froze. A few rabbits exclaimed, "Acacia!" Bright turned and saw that there was no enemy, just a friend. Her throbbing heat began to slow as she scrambled to her feet. "Acacia? What - what?" She looked where she had seen the approaching shape. Okay...okay. It had really been Acacia. "There's nothing else coming?" Still agitated, Bright looked around. "Are you all right, Bright?" asked Chipster. "I hope I didn't hurt you...” Bright took in a breath, exhaled. "I'm okay. Are we in danger?" OOC: Eventually, I supposed, she establishes that they're okay :P BIC: As the rabbits moved into the forest, Bright paused to reflect. Awkwardly, she turned to Chipster. "You.. tried to save my life." She paused. "Thank you." Edited by Bright Side, Apr 14 2017, 03:47:55 PM.

With this reprimand, Acacia observes the negative reaction that had caused. He had really frightened his friends. It was an impulsive reaction. So the rabbit colored sand just giggles nervously, feeling distressed. - hehe Sorry ... Ambient music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1TUU9UDclA Entering the forest together with the other rabbits, observe how enormous the world is. Everything is different in this new perspective, but now as animal, the senses are much more developed. Many intriguing smells assaulted Acacia's nose, sounds, etc. It was fascinating and an incredible experience. He approaches a bush that he did not know his name. And try eating some leaves. - num num num... Not bad. But this needs a little tomato sauce.

"Yeah, I'm alright." It was a lie of course and Dusty felt ashamed for saying it. How could anyone be alright in their present situation? They were rabbits, lost in a world that wasn't kind to such animals and wandering about a forest in search for safety from Elil. In truth Dusty was far from alright, he was absolutely terrified! The thrill of being a rabbit had soon worn off and distress had emerged, stifling him in a cloud of worry. But he couldn't admit to that, so he lied. "I think it’s fascinating, but it is very strange that we're out here Leo." Dusty said. Turning his head a little to look at the other rabbit. "Everything about our situation is off. It should be impossible, and yet here we are. It’s, you know, weird." |

Chipster looked at Bright Side as she slowly regained her senses, and realized that there was no danger. "I'm glad I didn't hurt you," he said, "but I should have been more careful...I'm sorry." He tried to think of a proper reply to "You.. tried to save my life. Thank you", but his mind was a complete blank. He eventually mumbled “thank you”, feeling very awkward due to being unable to come up with something better than that. A while later, after the rabbits had resumed their journey, he noticed an unusual expression on Brighty's face. He wasn't very good at reading others' emotions, but she did not seem to be doing well. He would have to ask her about it, but now was not the best time. He wanted to help, but he was afraid he might make a fool of himself again. Then, he noticed Acacia further away, nibbling a random plant, and commenting that "this needs a little tomato sauce." He seemed to be the only one of them in good spirits, everyone else seemed worried, to varying degrees. Chipster continued to follow the others, doing his best to keep up, although he was getting tired. Edited by Chipster-roo, Apr 14 2017, 03:35:47 PM.

"Sorry?" Bright looked like she had been hit across the face. "You would have saved me. I should be thanking you - and I am." Glancing at her paws sheepishly, she added, "I really am thankful. I just don't know what to say for something big like what you did." As they walked, Bright looked around and then stopped. "I don't think we should go too deep - there are enemies in here, too. Oh, snap, there are enemies no matter what. Is there anywhere safe we can go?" |

OOC: Chilly music ![]() Leo immediately felt bad for the harsh reaction he gave Acacia, and immediately wanted to excuse himself. "No, I am sorry. I didn't mean to...", he sighed. "It's just being rabbits now, makes a lot of us very nervous actually, right behind every bush there might be Elil, willing to tear us apart in a bit of seconds." He playfully nudged the buck on his nose with his front paw. "Time to relax, I guess. Danger is there, and we can't change it anyways." He looked up to the wooden firmament. "But first they must catch you, don't they say?", he giggled. He gave a loud laugh, as he heard Acacia's comment with tomato sauce, wondering about, what a real rabbit would say now, if it could listen to them. They surely still act too human. But a smile ran over his face, he began to really enjoy this situation, and he even started to hope, it wouldn't end too soon. While walking a little back with Dusty, he looked deep into his eyes for a while, after he answered. He seemed sure to him, so he thought he couldn't be of any help so far further. "Though", he thought, "I better keep an eye on him, just if I might be wrong, and he needs help later." He listened to his words with big attention, nodding at him, while looking him over and lolloping. "Of course it's weird, I couldn't have said it any better. But as it seems so far for now, it seems the reality, we have to handle with, until we know more." He silenced a second, thinking about, if they EVER might know any more. "But I guess we could've been worse, imagine we all have been awoken lonely, without anyone next to us. So we have at least us. We can support and protect each other until there is more to know." He tried to calm him a bit, smiling friendly at him. Suddenly they were approaching the group of Bright and Chipster again more, as they stopped. He listened. "I'm afraid there is not, Bright", he dropped his ears. "Aren't we supposed to have 1.000 enemies?" He looked upwards, as the weather seems to change, winds getting stronger, running through the woods they're in. "Maybe we should try to build our own shelter for this night. Don't rabbits dig to do so? Not a whole warren, but maybe a scratch for the night?" He looked back down again at the others. |

"That'd have been much worse." Dusty agreed, his ears drooping. What if there were others that had woken without anyone nearby? Leo made a good point, and Dusty was grateful of his good fortune in that regard. When they stopped, he snuffled at the base of a tree making a few quick digging motions at the ground. His unpracticed paws had little success other then scuffing the dirt and ripping up some grass. Dusty sat back shaking dirt from his ears. "It'll take some time," he opinioned to the others gloomily. "It'll be well into the night before we finish, unless I'm wrong about the sun's position. Which is entirely possible, I can barely see it through the trees and I'm no outdoors ma- er, rabbit." |

"You saved my life when we were humans...well not exactly, but it was something close to that and, uh..." Chipster sighed. He really wasn't very good at expressing his thoughts. It seemed like Bright had something on her mind, and he was probably making things worse, with all the sentences he started but didn't finish. He remained silent for a few moments, while he cleared his thoughts. “I'm just glad you're all right,” he finally said. “I don't want anything bad to happen to you while you're a rabbit. Or a human, either.” The rabbits kept travelling, until she asked whether there was a safe place, and Leo mentioned the possibility of digging a small hole for the night. "I'm afraid you're right Leo...we can't really be safe anywhere except underground. So I guess digging is a good idea, since there probably isn't a warren anywhere near here." And, he thought, if there was one, we would probably look crazy in front of the others, since we still act a lot like humans. “You may be right, Dusty...none of us have digging experience, so it might take a while. But the sooner all of us start, the sooner we'll all be safe.” |

Acacia looked at Leo surprised, did not expect an apology from him. Despite not knowing him well. Its general impression was of a hard and intelligent person, as well as the rabbits of Efrafa. The Germans are famous for being recognized as very strict and disciplined. But apparently the gray-haired rabbit is not so serious, appearances can deceive. He liked that he will also quote Lord Frith's words. - Hey Leo ... * Starts to say Acacia * You do not have to apologize. We really need someone to get us into reason. The former may have been a fox, a dog or any Elil. If we want to survive this strange situation ... I need you to be hard on me, if it is necessary. Friend. However * It touches the nose * For me it is impossible not to get excited. * Looks poignantly at the eyes * I'm fine. After this it is going to eat leaves, that does not have tomato sauce =(
- A safe place... The safest place in the world is Watership Down, the island of rabbits or a loving breeder. But I did not know how to get to the first site and the rest was far away. They were lost in that place. Suddenly he watches Dusty begin to breed to create a small rabbit hole, a haven for the night. That's a good idea, although male rabbits are not supposed to. Only the females do, although they were not really rabbits, so that did not matter. It is important to find a suitable place to remove the soil. Both Leo and Chipster-Roo were right to create a burrow soon. So Acacia began to dig, it did not really seem that difficult. Hawkbit had done it happily during the series. - This is a good exercise, the earth is soft. |

It turned out a bit of manual labor is a good way to take one's mind off of the terrors of the world. Dusty set himself to his work and soon got the hang of digging, and a makeshift hole began to form while his worries began to fade. Backing out of the shallow furrow he'd helped create Dusty took a quick breather. "Its not that bad, least not as bad as I thought it'd be." Dusty said, giving himself a quick shake. "Did any of you find some water nearby? I could use a drink." |

Leo gave the sand colored rabbit a soft smile at his warm words. "I'll try to find the right balance between strict, and soft then, my friend. We just need time to get used to all of this, I think. But trust me...", he nudged him playfully, "I'm excited as well, although it might not look like so." "Hmmm...", he mumbled, as he watched Dusty who started to dig again for a while, until a bell rang in his head. "Oh... let me see, this reminds me of something", he said and went behind Dusty. "Try to dig with your front paws, while pushing the earth backwards with your hind paws, this should help, as it should be a lot faster, when I put it out of the way instantly." They started. After a while, he smiled together with the others, surveying the result. "Really not bad at all, I'd say. For rabbits in their day one, like us, eh?" He looked at Dusty, as he asked for water. "Good idea, this was kinda exhausting. Anyone can hear or smell something?" He rose his ears and tried to smell for some, but there was actually no wind at all, neither was there any sound. |

"I'm just glad you're all right,” Chipster said. “I don't want anything bad to happen to you while you're a rabbit. Or a human, either.” Bright dipped her head. "Likewise, Chipster. Thank you." When the others started digging, Bright joined them. She raked at the ground, embarrassed at her inefficiency. Not to mention... Bright grimaced. "Wow," she said as she dug her paws into the ground, "This is gross. We have our hands on the earth that people step on." After a pause, Bright laughed. "I guess sanitary concerns don't apply to rabbits." After Leo's advice, she started doing a lot better. Bright smiled - awkwardly - at the others. "I'm glad you all are here. I don't know what I'd do on my own. And it's great to see you." Shaking her fur coat, she continued, "I know we'll get out of here. We have to." Unfortunately, her heartfelt speech was followed by silence to Leo's question about water. Bright coughed, hoping someone else would have more insight on that end.

Chipster continued to look at Bright Side. "Thank you Brighty," he finally said. As everyone started digging, Chipster felt slightly ashamed. He had half-expected at least one of the others to complain that "bucks don't dig", but instead everyone had volunteered to participate. He should have known better than to think something like that. He too started to scratch the ground. As he heard what Brighty said “we have our hands on the earth that people step on”, he abruptly stopped, and looked at his front paws. He had only been digging for a few moments, and his fur had already started to turn brown. It really was gross. He started digging again, doing his best not to think about it, and not really succeeding. Leo had provided some useful advice, however, so he made some decent (but slow) progress. As Dusty asked whether about water, Chipster stopped digging. "I don't know...there may be a river nearby. I'll go search for one. I'll be right back." With that, he hopped away from the others. He could use a break from digging, his claws were starting to hurt, and searching for a river was not entirely useless. Edited by Chipster-roo, Apr 19 2017, 07:14:00 PM.

"Chipster, wait." Bright scampered after him. "It's not safe to go alone. I'll come with you, at least." |

Chipster turned towards Bright. He found her offer to accompany him very touching. "Any journey is more pleasant with you. You can come." |
