Once again, Home

[Raleigh]

*Raleigh's home once again appears in town. How one would know is impossible to say as its external configuration and layout has changed as it always does. Those who have been there before know who it belongs to all the same. Perhaps the large garden outside gives it away.* And then I reveal to the earth my solution to their dying bee problem. *Raleigh can be found muttering to himself.* DrakeCorp branded Zom-Bees. Undead bees that will continue to pollinate your flowers long after their species is dead.

[AmbushCat]

*A voice not heard in Muffinville for a while echoes back to Raleigh.*

Undead bees, huh? I'll have to remember that for my next role-playing session.

*The Game Master Risk materializes close by in a swarm of Monopoly tokens.*

Long time no see.

[Raleigh]

Aye, it has been. How have you been this last little bit?

[AmbushCat]

Entertained, mostly. Been playing the usual assortment of games, keeping our eyes on Callista's band of misfits, making sure nothing's causing trouble in her home universe...

*shakes her head* Though we had a bit of a close call late last year. Yukari Yakumo managed to snake her way onto Earth and bother Callista's body double for a while.

[Raleigh]

*Assumes the form of Yukari.* You mean the old gap hag? Well she could get to anyone if you think about it so that isn't the most surprising thing. At least it wasn't Yuuka, that sadistic flower youkai.

[AmbushCat]

Still too much of a close call. You probably already know about us trying to keep excessive magic out of that world. Boundary manipulation on her level would pretty much rip the place apart if she used it too much.

*sighs* Well, it could have been worse. At least mocking Curtis while he was trying to record a MegaMari run was about as bad as it got.

[Raleigh]

Good, would hate for that reality to tear itself apart. So, you here for a game?

[AmbushCat]

I guess so. You have something in mind already?

[Raleigh]

How do you feel about a game of catch? You catch something of mine and get a boon. You fail and I get a favor out of you.

[AmbushCat]

Seems simple enough, though knowing you I'm sure there'll be a twist. I'm for it.

[Raleigh]

Alright then. All you have to do is catch this rabbit, *Here Raleigh points at a black rabbit that has poked its head out from the garden beside him.*, to win. A bit of warning, this rabbit is quite fast and can jump quite a distance.

[AmbushCat]

So basically kind of like the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, except this one has speed instead of ferocity, then?

[Raleigh]

Pretty much. You ready for the chase to start?

[AmbushCat]

Almost. Just a moment.

*Risk materializes a die and tosses it behind her. When it lands 3-up, her robes shift into a copy of the Flash's uniform.*

If I'm going to be chasing something, may as well dress the part. Now I'm ready.

[Raleigh]

Then go. *The rabbit blasts off from where it sits to a point about a few dozen meters in the air before seeming to ricochet off toward Raleigh's house.*
