Bunny Towers

Lola and G Bunny share an apartment, enjoying all the trappings a good lifestyle has to offer. Money is there to be enjoyed after all, with the proviso that you earn your money legally and above all, cleanly. Sadly, this is not the case for “Runner-G”, or Gee Gee as his friends call him; who does a different kind of running than the urban free-running he so skillfully learned in his younger days. He “runs” for none other than Yoritz B.Stard who is evil personified, delivering packages backward and forward without asking any questions and collecting his reward at the end of each run. Working for Yoritz is often fraught with complications and never to be recommended, as Runner-G might soon be about to discover!

Meanwhile you have poverty on the other end of the social scale seen here by Homeless Bunny begging for a few spare carrots or some change. Perhaps ask yourself how many times have you walked past a homeless bunny when on your travels and made no offering and not even registered the fact they even exist? If you see one begging you should be sure to offer a few carrots or perhaps something equally as valuable to make both them and  yourself feel a whole lot better. The weather is drawing in and we all need to do our bit to help our fellow bunny out. However, sometimes fortune can be turned on its head and offered to those in the most unlikeliest of places. Perhaps Homeless Bunnies luck is about to change too..

Today was the same as many of the others gone before them for G – find the client, Jamal in this case, and collect a package and deliver to Yoritz. Simple as that!

Once the package is collected, it’s your business is to get said item to its destination as quickly as possible without any hiccups along the way. You do not idle, you deliver.. your rewards are high for speedy and safe delivery, low for any hiccups along the way – resulting in you paying with more money or mere carrots! The character above is Jamal, a notorious diamond smuggler by trade. Yoritz recently procured a number of vehicles for Jamal and payment is waiting snuggly inside the case for prompt delivery to Yoritz!

Yoritz is known for his love of valuable time pieces – and anyone who has ever worked for him knows that time wasters often find themselves surplus to requirements. It’s best to act fast.. the skills of the urban free-runner come in handy, but sometimes even the best runner can get a little too lax for his own good.

Its good that Lola is often at hand to pick G when he needs the occasional assistance, just like today. Thats why he arranged for her to pick him up by Scooter to have plenty of time left to spare. They arranged to meet here, its just a matter of waiting as she’s always bang on time.

If there is one thing Lola loves above her carrots and favorite TV show “Dancing with the Bunnies”, its her Scooter! The one she will be using to pick G up and transport him to Yoritz’s lockup.

Unfortunately her beloved Scooter has been stolen – and as G will find out soon enough, the clock is beginning to tick faster than he could ever imagine or would ever want.

G thinks Lola has “bloomin forgotten to pick me up” and has instead decided to head for the train just around the corner.

Today was always going to be one of those days, you can feel it in your water or the breeze of the cold fresh air sometimes. They say “never rub another bunnies carrot!” and perhaps the smell of the homeless bunny moving from station to station in the hope of a free meal was enough to put G off his stride that caused him to take his mind off the package.

No sooner does G leave at his stop-point than he realises he has left something equally as important as his life behind.

It’s amazing that  in the blink of an eye, one Bunny’s misfortune is another’s fortune; two lives crossing briefly moments earlier changing one for the better and one for the worst.

Gee Gee must get to Yoritz before he discovers the package has gone missing from someone else – and make up some excuse!

Some say that Yoritz is the Devil personified – he certainly deals with problems in a no-noncense way; but more importantly, the fear surrounding him is enough to make his enemies wilt at the thought of ever daring to cross him. You play by his rules, for there are no others.

The phone rings in Lola’s apartment.. it’s not quite what she was expecting, for on the other end is Yoritz who calmly informs her that unless she delivers the missing package or acquires the equivalent of 100,000 Bunny Sterling within the next 20 minutes her friend will come to a fate that does not bare even contemplating! The time has started ticking she is told, then the phone goes silent.

Lola has only one option – to find her father who conveniently works in a bank, but inconveniently is perhaps one of the meanest uncarring bunnies she has ever known.

Perhaps the answer to Lola’s prayers, she needs a quick loan of 100,000 BS and all will be fine. Simple, right?

Lola is told in no uncertain terms that there will be no money for her, instead thrown a few coins on the floor and told to leave immediately. She is more than aware of the time and more than aware it is going to be impossible to get such a large sum of money without stealing or winning it. Her only alternative now is to get to a casino and gamble every last penny she has and pray that the Bunny Gods help in her hour of need!

Gee promises Yoritz the money will arrive, doing all he can to stall for time as the clock continues to tick.

Lola throws everything she has on Red-20 and begins to watch the wheel spin, her heart beating as time appears to slow and she comes to terms with the fate of her beloved being in the hands of a simple spin of a ball.

There appears to be no such worries for Homeless Bunny who has discovered a whole new lifestyle!

Lives change in the blink of an eye – one moment your down, the next your up! Homeless Bunny seems to finally have the chance to experience a life that others experience on a daily basis. Now, thats got to be worth celebrating!
