Video/Action for Violet City

[neededlassie]

[Shaun looks pale and trembling, and his eyes are wide and scared. He looks - and sounds, when he finally speaks - like he's been crying. All he can manage are four short words, before his voice cracks and it's all he can do not to break down.]

Norman won't wake up.

[That is the next point on the agenda.]

Well, yeah. I mean, you'd notice a six-foot, talking bunny rabbit wandering around, right?

[neededlassie]

[No wai]

Yeah, I guess that'd be pretty silly.

He'd also probably have a hard time getting his pokemon to listen to him.

[justanexpression]

That's what I keep telling him.

[Just... not always here. He's been making the 'giant rabbits look silly' argument almost as long as he's known Bunny.]

[neededlassie]

Does he really go by Bunny?

[Gosh what is it with these mythical figures and having girls names?]

[justanexpression]

[Jack will make sure Shaun got a chance to ask Bunny that directly if it kills him, oh yes, he will.]

Yup. E. Aster Bunnymund. [His voice takes on just the barest hint of Bunny's Australian accent as he tries to mimic it.] Bunny's the best way to shorten it.

[neededlassie]

[Jack don't get your new little brother's rear end kicked by a gigantic Australian no-longer-rabbit. Because like a good little brother he will foist all of the blame off on YOU.]

...What's the E stand for?

[justanexpression]

[All the blame will be on him, anyway. Bunny knows him too well for anything else.]

You should ask him sometime. He won't tell me stuff like that.

[Why, oh why, would that ever be?]

[neededlassie]

Okay! It's just...

How will I know what he looks like? You know, since he's not a giant rabbit anymore.

[justanexpression]

...Good point.

[Think, Jack, think...]

Well, he sounds Australian, and he's still a pretty big guy with funny-looking tattoos, but if you don't meet him before I catch up with them again, I'll introduce you to Bunny and Tooth personally. How's that?

[neededlassie]

Okay, that sounds good.

You promise you won't leave the city without saying goodbye to me?

[justanexpression]

'Course I won't. Why would I want to do that?

[neededlassie]

I dunno. But you promised, so don't forget, alright?

[justanexpression]

Promise.

[It's impossible to actually pinky swear over a small video screen, but he holds up his hand, anyway, pinky finger out. It's still totally binding.]

[neededlassie]

[That gets Shaun to smile, a real honest to god full smile, and then he extends his own pinky out and touches it to the screen.]

Thanks, Jack.
