Who: Bunnycorn
Where: Lepus and Monoceros
When: King’s Year 199, summer
What:

[It’s always a shame to lose one or your hideous abominations of science. They were created not just with long nights and spare parts, but with hopes and dreams. From the “It’s alive!” moment to the first peasant it devours, each monster carries many fond memories of its own uniquely accursed existence.]

[But they’re all dying now; not due to angry mobs or plucky heroes with swords going snickety-snack, but simply poor environmental adaption. You really should have weatherproofed them better. And with Lepus’s primary predators on the decline, a new creature has stepped up to fill the niche: the Lepus lepus, a soft, woobie-eyed bunny with large ears and big feet and sharp, pointy teeth. These days it seems like you can barely walk outside without stepping on one (or two, as there is a reason for their rapid reproduction rate).]

[They’ve invaded the neighboring country of Monoceros as well, but Monoceros has a far greater disaster on their hands. Before they knew it, they had the greatest supply of vinegar in all the land. That’s what happens when all your booze goes bad.]

--? Vulpecula? Did their Meat celebration leave that big of an impact on you?

In . . . a matter of speaking.

Eeeh? Did you meet some southern girl Vulp?

Yes.

There's a very strong possibility she's my older sister.

. . .I was joking. . .

Seriously?

Yes, seriously. Not to mention I suddenly have a twin brother, too.

. . . the meat celebration was something else, to say the least.

T-twin brother. . .

Well. I'm glad you discovered some long lost family. . .? Most awkward family reunion, wow.

E-Extremely awkward. I'm still trying to figure out what to do about it . . .

Ah. . .just get to know him while you can, I guess. I was surprised to find out Annie was my sister, but to have that plus a twin, jeeze. You've got a lot to catch up on.

Twenty years worth, mm.

But . . . keep that to yourself for now? I haven't told many people yet.

[blinkblink]

Sure? Haven't really come to terms with it yourself?

More like I'm waiting for confirmation, and . . .

I'd rather not my parents hear about it until I've thought up a good way to tell them.

. . .confirmation he's 100% your twin and not some scam artist that looks like you?

Aaah, alright. "Mother, Father, I happened upon my long lost twin while at a festival of raptor innards in the swamp" would sound a bit far fetched.

I don't believe in coincidence, but I'd like actual proof of some kind, you know?

[s-snorts] Just a bit.

Yeah, it's understandable. I'd be a little worried if you weren't' suspicious. Your secret's safe with me.

Mm, thank you, Badger.
