S7.5 E3: White Rabbit! Wait!

╭────────────── 🐇📚⏱️ ──────────────╮ ARTHUR-VERSE · SEASON 7.5 THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR THIS REALLY HAPPENED — NOT AN AUTHORED EVENT ╰────────────── 🖊️📚🐇 ──────────────╯ Yes! Yes, he’s coming! Justin is coming! Keep going, keep going—wait. He’s chasing me. Why is he chasing me? No, Justin! Don’t grab the rabbit! Follow the rabbit! There is a very important distinction! Oh dear, he’s getting faster. Justin, please, I am an elderly Registrar, not recreational prey! Just keep—oh! Oh no! The plank! His leg went straight through! Justin? Justin! Oh, that looked dreadful. He’s getting back up. Good! Very good! That’s it! Keep coming! Carefully now. Carefully—oh, never mind, he’s running again. The Burrow! We’re back! Oh, thank goodness. My books! Look at this place. Why is that volume on the floor? Who stacked these sideways? That ladder does not belong there. Oh! My cake! My carrot cake! It’s completely flattened. I made that cake. I was going to have that cake. Honestly, there ought to be laws about bridges crashing through libraries. Wait—what’s this? Notes? Notes?! No, no, old notes. Of course they’re old notes. Justin hasn’t written any— Justin? …Justin? I looked toward the bridge. No Justin. Oh dear. JUSTIN! He went on without me. ✦ 🐇📚⏱️ ✦ ARTHUR-VERSE · SEASON 7.5 · EPISODE 3 ✦ ⏱️📚🐇 ✦ —————————— “WHITE RABBIT! WAIT!” ——————————— ✦ 🌈🌉🐇 ✦ FOLLOW THE RABBIT · MIND THE PLANKS ✦ 🐇🌉🌈 ✦ [Intro: Sad violin “stfu- the prompt may be cliche’ but it fucking works! <3”] I chased that rabbit through my closet door One step inside, the closet lost its floor [short instrumental] [verse 1: build up, piano and synth plucks with subtle choir pads] The closet swallowed every trace of light I followed white ears deeper into night The dark gives way to rainbow-colored skies A bridge appears… that rabbit flies My legs go weak, my chest feels tight I want to stop and sleep tonight [pre-chorus] The rabbit ran, I couldn’t let it split So fuck it, yeah, I chased that little shit [Chorus] White rabbit, wait, I’m losing ground! I chase you where the stars spin round You dodge my hands, you little shit But I’m gonna grab you, that’s it [verse 2: strong tribal rhythm, dream trance synths and faery tale magic] Fatigue gives way; I start to run This rabbit chase is getting fun One rotten plank drops out of place My whole leg falls through empty space I bang my shin I yank it in You bet your ass I’m gonna win [Chorus] White rabbit, wait, I’m gaining ground! I chase you where the stars spin round You dodge my hands, you little shit But I’m gonna grab you, that’s it (tee-hee-hee ha-ha-ha!) [bridge: double time] I breathe with ease somehow I’m flying faster now Books tower past my face But then I pick up pace Some giant room goes by I’m chasing stars up high No rabbit now I won’t slow down I choose this track No turning back [music slows] If this is death, then death feels far too kind I thought they had a much worse place in mind [Final Chorus: Explode, strong, declarative, manic] Destiny, wait, I’m gaining ground I chase you where the stars spin round No rabbit now, no looking back I feel the strength I thought I lacked You pull away, you little shit But I’m gonna grab you. I won’t fucking quit. [Chorus Reprise] I ease my run and catch my breath The bridge meets grass beneath my steps Two owls sit calm on posts in dark The sign ahead says… Owl’s Walk Park?
