Oh me oh my, look at this! I logged onto the forums a few nights ago only to discover that the modfolk had named me a watcher! Thank you so much, all of you! I've been wanting to help out around here for a while, but until recently I was too stressed out to even handle it; now, though, I'm really looking forward to contributing a bit more to Furtopia beyond my frequent and occasionally deranged posts.

I was also told that I now get to create my very own thread in this here subforum, and great Scott, who can pass up a chance like that??

About me! I am a rabbit. My name is Arbutus (pronounced ARE-byu-tus). In keeping with the Watership Down universe, I am named after a small flower. I am the ringleader of the Lapine World Domination Front, a revolutionary organization which aims to support rabbits worldwide in shaking off their chains and revolting against the tyranny of the predatorial races. I also have a pretty awesome coat.

On the RL side of things (lame), I am 21, male, a recent college graduate (from Williams College, up in the mountains of Massachusetts), and am currently employed writing questions for standardized tests, which is actually a pretty awesome job! Who knew? I hope to join the US Foreign Service one day and work for the State Department as a diplomat-- that's what I'm currently working towards. Things I love include history, linguistics, learning foreign languages, traveling, hiking, reading amazing books, and most importantly, music, around which my life sorta revolves. Oh, and rabbits.

That is me! Now it is your turn! Ask me questions-- about furry, RL, personality, friends, music, books, dreams, embarrassing and possibly incriminating stories, whatever. Anything is fair game!

[Any Problems here? Come on the IRC and talk to my friend Syi. He loves meeting new people too =3http://irc.furtopia.org/]

Haha! I've been waiting for you to do this    I saw you were last night 

*pouncehugs*

Congratz! and now for the question: Do you want these cookies 

Congrats and welcome to the fun

I am the ringleader of the Lapine World Domination Front, a revolutionary organization which aims to support rabbits worldwide in shaking off their chains and revolting against the tyranny of the predatorial races.

I would like at this moment to remind predators everywhere that rabbits are far more tender, meatier, and flavorful than mere gamey, connective-tissue-filled rats.
(I am of course saying that in the spirit of self-preservation, and certainly not to throw you off the trail of the Great Rat Conspiracy, which clearly does not exist).

I also have a pretty awesome coat.

...Dibs on the coat when he's gone.

Afterthought:  Also dibs on the hat.

Yeay for you, Arbutus!  *huggles to death*  o.o

Kwan, I was gonna call the coat... aww...

...maybe we should have an auction on it... <.<

Congrasts! *Hugs and scritches ears.*

*pulls self out of a hat*

OOOO  magic


*peeks in the hat to see what else is in there

Hey, I plan on keeping that coat until I die of old age. You can't have it yet! And no trying to get me eaten, either-- I'm a watcher, I can report you for that.

*pulls self out of a hat*

OOOO  magic

*peeks in the hat to see what else is in there

...

...

*a fountain of chocolate suddenly explodes out of the hat, shooting several feet up in the air*

Hurray! Fondue for everyone! Come and get it! *grabs a carrot and dips it in the chocolate*

Fondue!!!!! *pulls out a raw steak on a stick*
What? Everyone has thier little problems .
*fills a bowl with chocolate, and drops the meat in*
Nom Nom Nom

Oops Not quite what I ment to do. Oh well.

*licks his nose*

This is much more fun than that metal puddle thingy, in Blastdav's post ^^

Well, it did just spring out of a magical hat-- we have no idea where it came from or what powers it has. It could turn us all into chocolate, for all we know. It could turn me into a...

...into an Easter bunny...

...oh my.

*stares ar Arbutus in disblief* Your the...... Easter Bunny?.....

BUNNY!!!1!!!!!!!!!!!!one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*pounce hugs Arbutus*
YAAY!!!!!!one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!

Sorry, Arbutus...

...but I don´t believe in you...

Hey, I plan on keeping that coat until I die of old age. You can't have it yet! And no trying to get me eaten, either-- I'm a watcher, I can report you for that.

In that event, I shall wreak mighty, emo-laden, drama-llama revenge in my LJ! 
I shall spread vast lengthly tales full of flimsy half-truths garnered from situations that might have at one point had to do with a friend of a friend of someone who heard it from someone else on another forum, about how you reported me for NO GOOD REASON! 
(I thank everyone in advance for their support)

And I still call dibs on your coat after the predators nom-nom you.
(No, Alexandre, I do not agree to the auction, as I called dibs, so nyah)

Sorry, Arbutus...

...but I don´t believe in you...

Neither did I until just now! But now all of a sudden I have a little wicker basket and infinity chocolate eggs, and I don't know what other conclusions to draw from my data. In the meantime, here, have an egg! *gives*

o.o

*takes the egg*  Oh, wow...

...for someone that hadn't existed to me since I was eight, you're doin' a fine job. 

*epic pouncehugs in slow motion*

ehehe. watcher.
*pokes watcher*

*steals eggs*
*climbs up tree*
ehehe, i haz teh eggz!!1!11!!!

*creeps around ninja style.*

Hmmm, this thread is awfully quiet.

*sits down to escape the crazy that followed him from Kobuks thread to Blastdavs thread.*

Maybe it won't find me here.

This thread is near death again Arbutus! C'mon, use your new promotion to re-introduce yourself!

*looks into the hat* ooo no wonder hes not been out here in a while... Its a friggin mansion  in there..

Is that an indoor carrot garden? OOOOO look at that entertainment center and all those gadgets!!

*looks at Kal and points into the hat* Theres a indoor swimming pool in there too!

  Sat wha-? *looks into hat then back at Arbutus*

Hey Doc, did you get this thing from McMajik?

*suddenly pops out of the hat, soaking wet and with a carrot in each hand*

O hai! I forgot I had this thread. Hello my lovelies! Oh my, how long have you all been standing out here? Let me get some chairs for you...

*reaches back in and begins pulling out soaking wet armchairs one by one until everyone is seated, then pulls out a podium and stands behind it, clearing his throat*

Now. Thank you for all gathering here today. I'm sure you're all wondering if you're going to see any changes around this thread now that I've become a moderator on Furtopia. Now, I'm not legally allowed to give you all mod powers and let you go on a banning rampage-- you know, legal issues and all that, plus the forum software won't allow it. But I do want to reward you for, er, standing over there in the corner for the past five months. I am therefore happy to announce that I will totally be giving out superhero powers to anyone who wants them. ^_^

*pulls a magic wand out of his coat* Who's first?

*pops into the room*

I heard someone on a loud speaker, what's a goin' on in here? And why's everything wet?

All right then! You first!

*BRRRPTZAP*

Congratulations, Lawrence! You now have the power of levitation, extremely useful for escaping traffic jams and bonesawing your foes from above. Use it wisely!

Also, you are now soaking wet. Sorry about that, I just had to fish this wand out of the indoor pool. I hope it still works right....
