I'd like to phone a friend [Open]
WHO| Bunnymund and whoever you are.
WHAT| Bunny tries to get help from below, by contacting a local Earth spirit. His attempts are failing to yield results.
WHEN| As soon as he got out of the Training Center into the city.
WHERE| The park at the center of The Districts shopping center.
WARNINGS| Child-friendly swearing, attempted magic.
A giant rabbit lighting fires in a park draws attention. Which is all the more frustrating for Bunny, since he SHOULDN'T be drawing attention, no matter what he does out in the open like this. Every adult who stares at him with open confusion hammers home just how wrong something has gone, that whoever's in power in this city has the ability to suppress him into as close a state to mortality as he's been in many hundreds of years.
He could grumble about his situation, but that would get in the way of trying to get help. So he ignores the stares and keeps at work. His work, so far, is a hole in the ground, a pawful of pulled grass, moss, and flower petals stolen from various topiary on his way in search of the most natural place he could find in the midst of the city. He strikes a shard of flint he uncovered in the digging of the hole against the metal of his communicator, lighting a fire in the dry moss on a patch of earth he's cleared of grass, and dropping the flower petals onto the heat.
The way he kneels over the smoldering plants has all the look of a ritual, and the words he intones over them in a language that hasn't been used in the Capitol in much longer than 75 years do also.
All his kneeling and chanting isn't yielding much, though, to his frustration. With a growl, he jumps to his feet over the smoking flowers, still looking at the ground. "I know you're there, and I know you can hear me! You might not recognize me, but I'm close enough to being one 'a yours and I need your help. Wake up."
Still nothing. He stamps the ground, impatient, and growls again as no hole opens, no flowers grow, nothing happens except that he garners a few more bewildered looks from the humans who shouldn't be able to see him.
"Strewth."

"Stop!" He called out, putting up a hand as he ran over, breathless and out of shape. "Stop, stop, you can't-- You'll set the whole place up, there hasn't been enough rain. Put that out."
no subject
With the rant out of the way, Bunny rolled his eyes.
"I would never start a wildfire. I'm a nature spirit. Your government took my power, but they didn't take my know-how. Now what do you call Grandmother Earth around here?"
no subject
He looked incredibly confused at the idea of Grandmother Earth. "Ah-- I have absolutely no idea."
no subject
He gave Kurt a look that said "pull the other one."
"Unless you're here to apologize and offer me a way home, you can take your lies and rack off. Don't you have a fashion show t'be at or something?"
Not that he had anything against fashion in general, but his mood wasn't exactly great.
no subject
Well. At least out of the arenas.
"Do I look like I'm more interested in fashion than the safety of the citizenry?" Kurt asked curtly. His rumpled clothing, at least, should prove testimony to that. He was probably still wearing what he had the day before. "I understand that you're upset about being displaced, but as I had absolutely nothing to do with that, I will thank you kindly to allow me to do my job. You can't start a fire here. No exceptions."
