Three Authors and a Bunny

But before Seeker could do anything, another knight came running into the scene. And it wasn't just any knight, it was another Author. It was L.E. For some strange reason L.E. was holding a white bunny rabbit in his arms. When he reached Josh, the bunny jumped away from him and landed on Josh's face. Josh stumbled back a step and the rabbit fell to the floor. "YES!" Josh suddenly cried out. And then L.E. rushed up to him and gave him a big hug. "Josh!" L.E. said joyfully, "you're back!"

Seeker fumed. Now he was really pissed. Not only had the Author of the last few episodes made Josh into a killer, but now he was bringing L.E. into it as his friend and co-conspirator! This had to stop! But what could he do? It was now two against one; Josh and L.E. against him. Oh gosh darn it, why didn't Lots42 show up? And where were the Story Cops?

Seeker's angry thoughts were broken by a loud, shrill scream. The crowd had scattered in shock at the first swish of Josh's deadly blade, leaving the area around the slot machines empty. Only Seeker, Josh, L.E. and the rabbit stood there. And one lone showgirl, Seeker now noticed. The beautiful red head was the one screaming, screaming as she pointed at the cute, white, bunny rabbit. But it didn't look very cute anymore. It was trembling, shaking, caught in the grip of an epileptic attack. Its furry skin rolled over its body, puffing up, extending itself and then twisting back as if something underneath the skin was trying to get out. The bunny's eyes were glowing a deep red and its whiskered mouth was drawing back in a snarl, revealing rows of very, very pointy teeth.

And then, before Seeker's very eyes, the little bunny morphed into a seven-foot-tall floppy-eared killing machine. Seeker watched as Josh and L.E. tried to destroy the hideous monstrosity by using their Author-skills. They tried pull-down menus with kill commands, they attempted to use the INSERT key to give themselves some heavy-duty fire power, they even pulled out their spare Eberhard Faber Pink Pearl pencil erasers, but all to no avail. Only their lightning quick reflexes kept them from becoming rabbit chow. Seeker wasn't sure of what to do. Should he help the two Authors or was this some trick to get him to lower his guard? Seeker suddenly realized how much it sucked to actually be inside of one of these crazy extendable web stories and wished he had never written himself into it in the first place.

Oh well, too late for that. Screaming like Tarzan with a bad chest cold, Seeker rushed forward to do battle with the rabbit-from-Hell. He only hoped Josh and L.E. wouldn't stab him in the back. The two Authors stared at him in surprise. "SEEKER!" they shouted in unison. In all the chaos neither of them had noticed him. Having him there made them suddenly feel a lot better. "Something's wrong Seeker!" Josh cried out. "None of our writing tricks are working!" Seeker nodded, "I know. You guys are having your chains yanked by the guy writing this episode." "The BASTARD!" Josh and L.E. yelled in rage. "The guy's a complete jack-ass," Seeker said angrily, "first he made Josh go crazy and now this," "What do you mean 'made Josh go crazy'?" L.E. asked and then jumped away as the rabbit swiped at him with its claw.

"What do you mean 'what do I mean'?" Seeker asked. "I saw Josh kill Sir whatsisname over there." Josh shook his head, "That wasn't me. I was trapped inside of that bunny rabbit. But when I kissed myself I got my body back and that no good body snatcher was put back into the bunny." Seeker suddenly understood. "So you two are back to writing your Bunny Casino storyline, hmm. Aren't you bored of it yet? I mean, hundreds of episodes were written over at Addventure Game 2. What more can you do with it?"

"Jeez," Josh huffed, "if you don't like it, don't read it. Tell you what Seeker, just kill this bunny and then we can talk about what makes for a quality storyline." Seeker grinned and then reached behind a slot machine. He had finally found what he had been looking for; a shiny, brand new AK-47 assault rifle. "HEY!" L.E. shouted, "where'd that come from?" Seeker smiled, "I wrote it in." "But that's not fair!" L.E. whined, "how come you get to make script changes and we can't?" Seeker aimed at the mutant rabbit and answered, "Because I'm not dumb enough to try changing the plot. All I did was add a few details to the background setting. The Author didn't notice a thing." And then Seeker pulled the trigger. To his amazement instead of bullets, a giant flag shot out of the barrel of the gun. And yes, the flag said 'BANG'.

"So he didn't notice a thing, huh," L.E. said and blew Seeker a raspberry.

1. Oh no! Will the guy writing this stuff (that's me) actually let the mutant-bunny kill the three writers? Hmmmm. Could be.
