August 22 2013. Inspired by a question about what happens to canon characters if they get bitten and if they become were-authors. My answer was yes and that the G.I. Joe medics were forced to find a cure when half the base was infected and well, another bunny was spawned. Free internet cookie if you can figure out what OWD means. ^.^

Storm Shadow came back from one of his missions to find the base in chaos. The PT course was empty; half of the guards had small notebooks and were writing in them, not paying attention to their surroundings at all. And, was that a bunny he just saw? He turned around and looked again. Yes, yes it was a bunny, gnawing on a greenshirt's ankle. She was trying very hard to ignore it, but her fingers twitched. Storm Shadow continued walking into the motor pool. It was empty except for a cursing Cover Girl surrounded by tools on the ground. She swore again and threw a hammer. He walked past several dead bunnies, shaking his head. As he got into the elevator, a bunny tried attacking him from above. He grabbed it before it could do anything and tossed it out of the elevator before the doors shut.

He kept walking through the base, avoiding bunnies and seeing more soldiers with pens and notebooks. They were completely screwed if Cobra attacked. He reached Hawk's office and knocked. There was no response, so he knocked again. He opened the door after a few minutes and saw notebook paper everywhere. The walls and floor were covered and there were a few pieces of paper hanging from the ceiling. Hawk himself was behind a large stack of notepads, scribbling and covered with bunnies. Storm Shadow backed away and hastily closed the door. He checked some of the other offices. Flint, Duke, Beachhead and even Psyche Out were all holed up, buried in paper and bunnies.

He decided to head down to the infirmary. He stopped at the barricaded glass door and knocked on it. Lifeline came to it in a hazmat suit. There was a bunny clinging to his arm and trying to bite through the suit.

"We are working on a solution, give us more time," he said wearily.

"What happened?"

"No one knows. These weird rabbits started popping up and then people started becoming obsessed with writing. First Snake Eyes, then Scarlett after she tried taking care of him. She is probably the one fighting it off the best so far, but the whole base has pretty much been infected. You should see Doc. Both he and Psyche Out keep asking me to beta research papers, whatever that means. In the mean time, none of the damn cures we come up with work. If I only had the original source!"

"I'll be back," Storm Shadow said, turning around and heading for the dojo. When he opened the dojo door, there was a wall of bunnies. He jumped out of the way, as it started falling towards him and bunnies tried to escape. He sighed and pulled out his ninjato and started slicing his way to the room from which they were spawning. It got easier to move as the dead bunnies faded and disappeared, allowing the remaining bunnies to spread out. Some were much more interested in hopping away, but at least half of them jumped at him, fangs bared.

It took him a while before he was finally able to reach the hidden door and he was ticked. All he really wanted to do was get the debriefing over with and go get some sleep, but no, he had to deal with this crap. He yanked the door open and was surprised to find there was not a single bunny in the room. The authoress was sitting at the desk, staring up at the ceiling while she spun around in the chair. She stopped spinning for a moment, spitting out the end of a well-chewed pencil and reaching for another one.

"Why did you let the bunnies out?" Storm Shadow half growled.

She jumped, falling out of the chair. She looked up at him from the floor, frowning." I didn't let anything out. They just suddenly started dwindling down. I think I need new inspiration. Perhaps I can come with you on your next mission." She started to get up, using the desk to drag herself up.

"No, they have multiplied and are all over the base. I need you to come with me. Apparently the bunny bites are causing OWD."

"OWD?"
