[ So it's not a dream. Not only had Luca Balsa been totally freed from prison, but he'd somehow been whisked away to a place where he has zero reputation and given the mantle of the Count of Monte Cristo.
He couldn't help but smile at this incredible twist of fate when he finally got his thoughts together. Even if he occasionally forgot what happened for a moment, the fresh air and beautiful garments were enough to make him chuckle to himself. He couldn't remember a time he was so grateful, he felt he must repay this Storyteller guy for practically saving his life...
Oh, right, that's why he was brought here in the first place. To help. And to aid in helping, he sort of became the Count of Monte Cristo, and it feels like forever since he's read that tale.
So off to the Grand Library he goes. And what an enormous library it was. He can't remember what sort of libraries he'd been in before prison, but this place was much bigger than he expected. Lots and lots of books, mainly fiction, and quite a few titles he vaguely recognizes... And interesting titles he doesn't recognize. He gets curious enough to pull some unrelated books for a peek... Then some more...
Soon enough, he's barricaded himself behind a small mountain of books and leafing through some random story. Why did he come in here, again? ]
Rabbit Season!
[ Eventually, he figures out where he's supposed to live... And one more he can't believe his luck in this strange world. His new home came with an enormous fortune! All the funding needed for that grand invention he had been dreaming of completing could be easily pulled from that treasure and there would still be plenty left to spare! He knew he had to start it over from scratch, but all he needed were to buy the materials... And tools... And maybe, get a better picture in his head of what this invention was.
That made the invention a long term goal, but at least it's not impossible anymore. For now, he supposed he'd head back to town with a reasonable sum of money and treat himself to a good meal. It's been so long since he sat in any sort of restaurant, and that rabbit cafe looks appealing... ]
GIANT HARES [ Huh... Wonder what all the ruckus out there is about.
He glances at the confusion outside the window as he's enjoying what Hare de Lune has to offer. Delicious food is one thing, but fluffy rabbits that want to snuggle with you is the icing on top. When has he ever petted a rabbit before? Has he ever held a rabbit before? He's not sure, and he's not thinking of that as his focus is stuck on the scene outside...
Or, it was until something nudged him... Once, twice... And then there was a loud THUMP. Luca turned his head at the strange noise and found himself staring into the eyes of a rabbit the size of a horse. ]
HAH? [ Blink, blink. ] ... Where did this come from? [ He didn't see a giant rabbit enter the room, that's for sure. ]
TINY ZAPS [ Some time later, Luca ate something he shouldn't have.
Now he's the size of a rat and being chased by one of the more aggressive rabbits. Poor guy's running for his life as he finds himself zig zagging around chair legs and jumping over dropped forks, but the rabbit's a persistent hunter. Soon enough, Luca's trapped in a corner with the rabbit hurtling towards him.
Aah! Get away! He swipes a hand at the rabbit-- ]
ZAP.
[ A burst of what looks like violet electricity surges around Luca's tiny body and hits the rabbit square in the forehead. He can only watch in horror as the fluffy creature falls limply to the ground. ]
Oh... Oh god, not again! [ In spite of the possible consequences of lingering around, he rushes over to the downed rabbit to check its vitals...
He presses a hand against the bunny's forearm and feels a pulse. He can hear the bunny breathing... He breathes out a tiny sigh of relief. ] He's fine! The bunny's alive!
