The rabbit names help out with the NPC list, thank you. I also have included the seagull and the Black Rabbit of Death. I have the does as lacking common sense and having no knowledge of danger or predators.
Just for fun, Doe1 says things like
Oh no I just couldn't
You want me to what?
Nice does don't do this
I don't think we should be doing this
What would my mother say?
This is all too much for me
I just don't know
I was thinking of making a couple of the other does very fearful... does this fit with what you remember? Maybe one of them could say things like
What is that strange animal I smell?
Let's go into the light
What do you mean, get under cover?
OK so,,, the trip to the farm was to liberate does, correct? I had forgotten that Hazel was almost killed. Was it the cat? I remember there was one there.
What was the reasoning for liberating rabbits from Efrafra? The right thing to do or more does?
I'd love a copy of the ebook. Want to try emailing it?
