[The video pickup fuzzes out for a moment and then focuses on a comical multicolored figure about half a foot tall:

This small, harrumphing rabbit is holding an enormous fob watch open in front of him, reading the clock face as though it's a book.]

Attention, attention!  I've become ahare that not all of you here know what's going on right now, and that's simply a disaster.

I'm sorry.  I'm so sorry.  But the powers you've been granted were given to you for a reason, and that reason is about to arrive.  

Well, reasons, actually.  Five reasons.  Five reasons and a lizard.  Or more than five, really, who knows?

What's important is, very shortly a lot of large, unpleasant monsters are going to attack the island.  Some of them are here already. Already!

Only you can fight them, you girls and boys and boys who are for the moment girls!  Only you!  


So you'd best get ready!  [He blinks in alarm at something he sees on the watch face.]  Oh my!  I'm about to be late!  Very late!

I do wonder where the lizard comes in...

[allons_y_alonso]

Wondered about it myself, really. But there's always a big radioactive lizard at some point, at some point.

[thneed]

Oh dear. This situation's going to get pretty hare-y. A giant radioactive lizard would be pretty scary.

[allons_y_alonso]

That's it exactly! Exactly! And that's not the worst of it!

[thneed]

What's the worst of it?

[allons_y_alonso]

Well, I don't like to say right away. Not right away.

[thneed]

No? You can tell me right away. I won't spoil it for anybody.

[allons_y_alonso]

Well, I suppose someone should be on the lookout. We'll put it in code, in code.

...what kind of monsters? Species? Are they magical?

[allons_y_alonso]

All sorts, all sort, and mostly, yes.

[alwaysimpure]

Ace!

When will they come? I'm ready.

[...yeah, he really needs no special event to behave like a magical girl.]

[allons_y_alonso]

The first wave is already arriving. It's arriving!

[alwaysimpure]

Where?

[allons_y_alonso]

Downtown!

[alwaysimpure]

This place really needs a proper map.

cry it's my next priority for this month

[allons_y_alonso]

Follow the sound of breaking glass! Follow quickly!

[maiditoutalive]

[allons_y_alonso]

What? What's a hopbeast?

[maiditoutalive]

[allons_y_alonso]

Did I? Did I really?

How embhareassing.

[maiditoutalive]

theyre certainly appropriate to the situation which is rather strange
i think you look good with big ears

[allons_y_alonso]

Thanks! And thanks!

[maiditoutalive]

out of curiosity
do you remember ever not having ears?

[allons_y_alonso]

When would I not have had ears?
