Today we are starting something new here. A new story of Bunny’s adventures, One that is driven by the readers comments.
Here is how it’s going to work. Each Friday I am going to post the latest sketch by Erwin and a bit of prose from myself of the latest chapter in Bunnies adventures. You the reader then have till Wednesday to post a comment about what you would like to see happen next. I will take the most interesting comment an convert it into the next chapter of the story to be posted with an illustration on Friday.
I say most interesting instead of most popular for two reasons. 1) I don’t want to make a porno and you and I both know the most popular comments are going to be “Bunny gets naked” 2) It is up to me to write something resembling a story and while a comment may be very good it may just not inspire me.
I will do my best to take the direction of the story from the comments. However I do have to have the disclaimer that sometimes there will be no interesting comments or at least no interesting comments that I can work into a story.
These adventures are going to be non-canonish. In other words they are not part of the official Blade Bunny lore unless I like it and decided it is. Also I am not sure there is a canon for Blade Bunny so it might be hard to work this story into a canon that doesn’t exits.
And yes there will be typos and spelling errors. I just don’t have the time to fix them as I will be running right at the wire on this. If someone want to go into the system and edit the stories after they are posted I can give you a login just drop me a line. But as posted the stories are going to be rough.
So with out further ado let’s start out Bunny’s Tale:
The branch slowly started to crack and give way underneath Bunny’s weight. Not that a person alive would call Bunny fat. At least not a person alive for very long . Still the branch was groaning in a way that made it clear it was seriously considering starting an exciting new career as a collection of splinters.
While the branch consider the many things it could do as woodchips, chief among them lining the flower bed of a summer home on the cape owned by an investment banker by the name of Harold Leibnitz, Bunny considered her own situation.
“Well I could have thought this one out a little better” she said after much pondering.
Hmmmmm…. [idea!] Bunny shoots out a grappling line or somesuch from one of her detached sleeves, and is able to pull herself up to something resembling a safer perch!
Hmmm … there is a cave little below the image. Bunny doesn’t see it now but now the branch crack in a way it will still hold her but lower, she will spot the cave, swing a little and fall into it when the branch fail completely.
Next a large bird comes along and says “Here, let me help you pull that branch off” and perches on it.
(Naked? Naah, the history of comments in this site indicate the fans are more likely to ask for spankings)
Why not: The branch breaks and bunny falls…
Only to land on her rear in a futuristic park, surrounded by laughing spectators.
Thinking of a flashback scene to what had caused our plucky heroine’s situation:
As the branch was contemplating it’s future, Bunny was contemplating the situation that had lead to her current predicament. The sushi dinner with a potential client hadn’t been bad, but she had to object to the interruption by several of his heavily armed business rivals.
Instead of doing what we all would like to see her do, (fall when the branch breaks, or do some other Deus Ex type awesome save) Bunny begins to think about what it was that got her into this situation in the first place. It has something to do with a Samurai, a drinking contest, and, oddly enough, a turtle.
Tortoise and the (Dare I say it?) Hare, anyone?
Bunny glances down and sees that some kind of cliff-dwelling creature is below, looking up her skirt. She makes a face and points out that this time she remembered to wear underwear.
Why do we have to move away from the branch? Bunny unable to do anything is comedy gold.
Bunny gets naked.
…kidding!
Seeing the delightful meal that Bunny would make, a Huge Condor like bird swoops down and grabs Bunny in its talons…
The entire cliff face opens a pair of eyes, yawns, stretches, and goes for a walk with Bunny still dangling.
Hmm. A fake flashback? Do some satirical drawing of Bernie Madoff, some caption similar to “no, not THAT investment banker”, and finally back to Bunny hanging on the limb with some “let’s get on with this already” expression. This can even be used with one of the other ideas that can be carried out afterwards.
When smoke-bomb teleporting goes wrong…
The real Bunny rappels down beside this Bunny and offers to help her up if she explains why she’s impersonating her. Then the branch snaps.
Bunny looks around. Below her is what appears to be a crashed jeep. A few yards away, dangling from another branch, is a military Private named Bailey, Beetle Bailey.
One idea I had, but not sure it would be possible with the way the whole scene is drawn, is reversing the picture and showing Bunny is in fact hanging upside down. Basically doing a handstand on the branch, rather than holding it.
Or maybe enlarging the picture to show a gigantic missile that is perforating the mountain, and going out the other side. You said it was non-canon. Missiles are non-canons.
Or, as someone suggested already, a little downward on the side is some kind of strange creature, preferably a bird, but if possible a demon-bird thingy with a weird appearance. Erwin is good at making demons and such creatures, I would like to let him go crazy on that one and see what he can do ^^ .
Or, instead of the branch, the cracking comes from the whole mountain which collapse on the side, only to be stopped by another mountain, leaving Bunny hanging very close to a potential danger(I’m thinking acidic or very hot bubbling water), and Bunny screaming ‘I’M NOT FAT!” again.
All this image needs to be perfect is the roadrunner standing at the top of the cliff with it’s tongue out.
Bunny falls.
GAME OVER.
Then a room full of marketing executives start having an argument about what is needed to make the Blade Bunny game successful. Suggestions may include replacing the katana with something more cultural, or maybe a lightsaber. Lightbunny, no wait that sounds like the Energiser Bunny. Could we do a crossover? Blade Bunny versus The Energiser Bunny? Maybe they could team up and fight magical space aliens from the sea who want to steal airplanes.
It gets weirder, then it gets really weird.
Judging from what I’ve read so far, I’d have to go with Bunny screaming “I’M NOT FAT!!!” just before the branch snaps. Fortunately, Kyoto manages to grab her before falling to her doom. (Some say Dues Ex Machina, I say more hilarious Bunny and Kyoto moments. Seriously, those two are comedy gold! Besides, I feel that the classic “giving a vague explanation after all is said and done” device would work well here.)
Bunny’s latent cyborg powers emerge and she grofactures a set of turbine wings.
Yeah, I know it’s late, but whatever! ;p
