Ancoysnd strolled in a carefree fashion into the office of Honorable Mr. ANTE-TUBBES, owner of Happy Puppy Pickle Co. Being a good, efficient, fast working worker, he was the top canidate for whatever new publicity stunt that boss was planning now. And whoever did it was promised a bonus if there weren't any problems. So it was with a feeling of iminent cash that Ancoysnd sat down in a chair when ANTE-TUBBES told him to sit down, and listen.
"Sit down, and listen. Now, Happy Puppy Pickle Co. sales have been steadily dropping for the last few minutes. This must be remedied."
"Gosh, you really take your job seriously, don't you?"
"It is my duty to make sure Happy Puppy Pickle Co. does well. Now, as you know, Easter is coming up. Easter means Easter Bunny. You are a Bunny. I need you to dress up as the easter bunny, and go from door to door delivering Choclate Eggs in packages reading "Happy Puppy Pickles... they're good!" in cutesie letters. Got that?"
"Yes sir, Mr. ANTE-TUBBES sir!" Ancoysnd saluted, and began to leave the room.
"You'll find your costume and supplies in Locker 4!" called out ANTE-TUBBES, but Ancoysnd only heard "You'll toss them in surprise at Locker 24!". Curious, he went to Locker 24, and opened it. Inside was a costume, and a large sack of small packages.
Gingerly, Ancoysnd shouldered the stuff, and went into a changing room. However, when he began to unfold the costume, all the lights went out.
Moments later, ANTE-TUBBES' voice came in over one of the loudspeakers installed everywhere. "WE ARE HANDLING A SMALL POWER SURGE.. IT SHOULD NOT LAST LONG. WORK AS USUAL." Ancoysnd, using some of the vast skills he posessed, put on the costume and shouldered the sack, and walked outdoors into the cool night air. There was no moonlight to guide him.

"Hooray!" called out someone because I didn't want to think who said it, "The Bartender has returned!"
"As has GenEX." observed Batty Buddy, putting on a pair of spectacles to make sure.
"Can't have everything." muttered a voice from Dark Corner #2609, but no one paid much attention, except GenEX, who stalked off to his private something or other room in a huff.
"BEER FOR EVERY-" started Beauman, but Ducky whacked him over the head with a "None of that!" for inciting over work for poor Slayer, before returning to whatever she had been doing before.
"Uh, yeah, that's fine and all, but now we need a plot, people." said whoever talks like that. There was a murmur of minority assent which was quickly hushed by those who didn't agree.
BlackSheep yawned, and fell asleep on the table.
There was a knocking at the door.
Strangely, the door did not explode inward.
Or outward.
"I'll get it." said Cobra, glaring at the ones who didn't want to. Walking over to the door with the intention of opening it, Cobra opened it, letting a figure in. Ducky gasped and stole BB's spectacles, and put them to her eyes. "It's a mad axe murder, with a belt full of knives!"
They all looked. The person at the door did appear to be what Ducky had proclaimed him to be.
"HAPPY EASTER!" cried the figure, having not heard Ducky, thinking he was dressed like the Easter Bunny. "Have some Chocolate Eggs, kiddies!" So saying, Ancoysnd (For it was he) withdrew some packages from his sack and threw them wildly over the 'Tavern. "Whee! Go get'm!"
A few of the less sober rabbits frolicked across the floor madly, and after a tussle, Kovu had them all. "Gee," he said, pulling out a little plug in one side, "what are these? They don't look like no Chocolate Eggs I've never seen!"
Beauman leaned over, got a suspicion, drew out a scanner, scanned the object, had his suspicion confirmed, shouted "THEY'RE GRENADES! RUN! BEAUMAN AND CHILDREN FIRST!" and quickly threw the uncorked one out the door, where it hit Ancoysnd in the face.
Ancoysnd had heard what Beauman had said, however, and ran, leaving the grenade to fall into the sack.
There was a very large explosion.
"Well, cool, now we've got an unplumbed depths endowed pit to whosoever knows where right in front of the door, making it impossible to really get in or out!" cried Fire Sword.
Beauman sold action figurines of Ancoysnd in Mad Axe Murderer With Belt Of Knives And Sack Of Grenades costume.


Uhhhhh, yeah?
