Home 22: Our neighborhood watch is extra vigilant

[Jace's Place]

Fire!

Fire and eggs!

Khannie is totally unaware of what's going on down stairs, mostly because she's busy getting dressed. "Why are you painting those eggs?" And talking to rabbits.

The rabbits simply continue painting. They don't seem terribly interested in conversation. Especially when another rattling sound fills the house... Because this time around things get creepy. First of all, the rabbits spontaneously shed all their fur. Now there are piles of fur all over the floor as it sloughs off the rabbits in clumps.

Khannie watches the process with some degree of worry. "Daaaaaad, the rabbits are being weird," she yells from her room.

Yep.

Weird.

Weird like the rabbits all making that horrible screaming noise rabbits make as flesh covers their little faces like running wax. Their tiny bodies swell and warp as their limbs grow into spindly things with far too many unwholesome joints. Khannie watches with disgust boarding on fear, her little green grovyle hoodie pulled half way over her head. Without a sound, one of the deformed bunnies leaps at Khannie, claws outstretched, and meets a flurry of punches that crumples it like cardboard. The second monster winds up to attack, only to eat a sucker-punch to the gut, causing the nauseatingly elastic horror to crumple around her fist before snapping away and clinging to the far wall like a gigantic pink spider.

"Daaaaaaaad!" Khannie calls out again, a little more desperation in her voice this time.

The rabbits downstairs, meanwhile, are still normal. Well... normal for rabbits painting eggs, anyway. Apparently they're ignoring Jace's warning.
