Into the rabbit hole

Three months later and Easter has arrived on Runescape... though, again, I shouldn't really say "Runescape"; rather: "A 5 foot area of space south of Falador."
------------
To begin, talk to Charlie the squirrel, then enter the rabbit hole. At once you will grow bunny ears, a tail, bend into the form of a rabbit, and shrink away into the earth. When you reappear in the den, you are met with a mess of factory appliances and boxes filled with, if I recall correctly, "nothing but chocolate and peanuts". Enter into the adjacent room and you will meet Easter Bunny. A pink, giant... Easter bunny.

Task 1: He tells you to talk to an impling manager by a big stove. You find the fellow, and he inquires that you clean some stove parts in some water. So you do it. End of the first mission.
Return to the pink cottontail please.

Task 2: Now he asks you to talk to another manager impling who needs you to make egg glazes of various colors, then hands you a color wheel, a bowl, and vials of red, blue, and yellow glaze. Once he tells you which colors to create, you mix into bowl the proper glazes and hand him your bowl. And that's the end of the second mission.
Back to the rabbit.

Task 3: Talk to Big Ben, he needs you to dispose of anything that crosses his conveyor belt that isn't chocolate or nuts, using a device that I believe was made using MS Paint.
Revisit the Easter Bunny.

Task 4: "Go to the Easter bird and convince him to get to work", says Jr. Bunny, basically. So you do, and you scroll through windows of dialog and random remarks to say to him in the hopes of the whole thing to just end already.
What I told told him was that all of Runescape would love him if he starts working again. Stefan told him to just get to it. So I think it's random for each player.
Go again to E.B..

Task 5: "Manage the factory now!" So you proceed by hiring workers, then making 7 fruit cakes, 7 nuter... chocolate somethings, and 7 tangy egg... breads, I think. I don't feel up to explaining this process. We felt the urge to call it quits on this one due to stress and boredom.

Task 6: The bunny wants you to deliver stuff to couriers scattered all over the map. Through the use of our teleports, we did this in about 5 minutes, and before returning, we were enlightened about the meaning of Easter in Runescape...








Wow, how sweet... and completely Pagan.
So with that complete, you return to the bunny and recieve your prize.


Squirrel Ears (Hardly visible on your player), and a Squirrel juggle emote. You can also summon Charlie and Fluffy (can't remeber who that is right now.) every 30 minutes!
Yay?

------------
After the hour or so spent on this gruesome event we headed to Varrock and once again made our own holiday colored clothing. Next, we headed to a $126M drop party including a red H'ween mask, and 25m coins.








We got nothing at all. :)
