[The evening of the 19th, a very mysterious anonymous post goes up on the network! Okay, it's not that mysterious at all to anyone who peruses the Dark Web. Kadoc has ruminated on that fact for two thirds of the month now, trying to decide whether to make a fool of himself (anonymously) with this dumbass shit, but you know what? There's something darkly funny and comforting about the fact that a decent chunk of people will immediately know how not serious this is.

Besides, June has been a wild month for the network, and sometimes a guy starts feeling Very Online and decides, why not contribute to it, especially for a potential reward?

And so:]

TO WHO IT MAY CONCERN

THE HONORABLE LORD AND LADY FUZZLERTON ARE IN MY CUSTODY AND I WONT STOP THERE. THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF MY RAIN OF TERROR. I HAVE SPIRITED THEM AWAY BEYOND THE REACH OF ANY MERE MORTAL AND I WILL DO THE SAME TO OTHERS IF MY DEMANDS ARE NOT MET. FROM THE OWNERS OF THE HONORABLE LORD AND LADY I VERY HUMBLE REQUEST 999,999,999G AND THEN I WILL BE SATISFIED AND NO ONE ELSE WILL FALL WITHIN MY SHADOWY GRASP. IF THEY RESIST I SUGGEST TO ALL OF YOU IN CAMELOT PLEASE URGE THEM NOT TO RESIST FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY. IF NOT THEN PREPARE YOURSELVES TO BE SPIRITED AWAY TOO BEYOND THE REACH OF ALL THE KNIGHTS OF ARTHUR. SEE ATTACHED!!!!!

[Attached, there is a photo of a tuft of rabbit fur that looks like it could have? maybe? come from the Lord or Lady, though who can really tell? It's just rabbit fur. It's like the same color ish. But ooohhhhh scary! Who knows what might happen to you if this person doesn't get the ransom! Besides everyone who reads the Dark Web.

As a note, Kadoc is not a technomancer and while this message is posted anonymously, there are no protections in place against anyone with technomancy digging into who sent it and finding him out. He knows the risks!

Part two of Kadoc's Excellent Adventure will be a toplevel in the event post, dohoho.]

[You know what, Darin's had a month. And playing along with this seems like a fun way to kill some time.]

YOU FIEND! HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING SO NEFARIOUS?! LORD FUZZLERTON BUILT THE TOWNS ORPHANAGE AND THE GOOD LADY IS A PILLAR OF THE COMMUNITY!

IF YOU DO NOT RELEASE THEM AT ONCE I WILL BE FORCED TO DISPATCH YOU MYSELF FOUL KNAVE!!

ANONYMITY INTENSIFIES

[impostorsyndrome]

[Oh good, it's a relief this hand was tipped early on both sides. Kadoc doesn't have to wonder at all about how seriously anyone is potentially taking this crap!]

YOU WILL NEVER FIND ME

MY DARK ARTS HAVE BEEN HONED BY DECADES OF EXPERIENCE FOR THIS MOMENT ALONE

THE DOWNFALL OF THE FUZZLERTON LINE AT LONG LAST!!!!!

UNLESS I GET MY MONEY IN WHICH CASE I AM WILLING TO RECONSIDER

HERE WE GOOOOOOO

[forgeabettertomorrow]

Heh

Youre as foolish as you are misguided and evil! Even if the good Lord and Lady are lost to us

There is another!

Those missing rabbits? From a few moons ago?

A ransom is funny and all, but they can't exactly get it to you without instructions. Or a location to hand it off.

un: !!! RIOT !!!

[machismost]

WHAT THE HELL? DID YOU SERIOUSLY KIDNAP SOMEONES PET????

text; un: ems

[unhappy]

It's only the beginning? What's step two of the bunnynapping?

[impostorsyndrome]

THAT CANT BE

I HAVE SPENT YEARS ACCOUNTING FOR EVERY POSSIBILITY

YOUR TRICKS WILL NOT WORK ON ME, FOOLISH MORTAL ONE

[impostorsyndrome]

THEY MAY CONTACT ME IN PRIVATE TO RECEIVE THIS INFORMATION

I VERILY DID NOT FORGET TO INCLUDE IT

I ONLY WISHED NOT TO OPEN UP THIS TRANSACTION TO THE INTERFERENCE OF SO-CALLED HEROES

[Damn, he did forget. Oh well. It's not like he was trying in any way to make this convincing or effective, but he is still a little embarrassed. What if he had been?!]

[impostorsyndrome]

I WOULD NEVER

I KIDNAPPED *TWO* PETS!!!!!

WHAT SAY YOU NOW?

[impostorsyndrome]

THAT WAS THE PART WHERE IF I DO NOT RECEIVE MY RANSOM I BEGIN KIDNAPPING OTHERS AS WELL

I APOLOGIZE IF IT WAS UNCLEAR

[omnicrafter]

And how would you hand off the rabbits without compromising your identity, come to think of it? They're not exactly going to sit still for you.

[machismost]

WHY??

DID YOU HURT THEM?? A PIC OF FUR TELLS US NOTHING ABOUT THE FUZZLERTONS!

[impostorsyndrome]

I HAVE STUDIED THE WAYS OF RABBITS FOR YEARS IN PREPARATION FOR THIS MOMENT

AND MY MAGIC WILL ASSIST IN CLOAKING MY IDENTITY

[impostorsyndrome]

I SHALL NOT GIVE AWAY PRECIOUS INFORMATION AS TO THEIR WELLBEING UNTIL MY DEMANDS ARE MET!

[machismost]

NO ONE'S GIVING YOU ANY MONEY IF YOU HURT THEM SO YOU BETTER!!!

[unhappy]

Oh I thought this was some kind of serial puzzle or something.
I chased that stupid rabbit like halfway across town twice. It deserves what it gets.

[impostorsyndrome]

AND I WILL NOT HURT THEM IF I AM GIVEN THE MONEY

AS YOU CAN SEE, EVERYONE WINS

[impostorsyndrome]

[This is the hardest it's been not to break character for this post; he does laugh to himself on his end of things. The Fuzzlerton ARG . . . now there's an idea.]

SO LONG AS YOU ARE NOT THE OWNER YOU'RE ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION

I CANNOT SAY THEY HAVE BEEN EASY CAPTIVES SO I UNDERSTAND

[unhappy]

...Do all-caps make you more nefarious?
