The new posters weren't terribly many in number, though they were certainly strategically placed. Carefully stenciled, the top edge of each poster reads in bold letters 'VOTE' and under that the picture of the candidate is...

...a cartoony drawing of a large, white rabbit in a top-hat"! With a basket under his arm and a carrot in his other hand — despite the less than brilliant artistry of the drawing, it's an absurdly cute picture.

Under that are the words. Apparently, there's a critic in Rhy'Din. At least, however, said critic seems to have a sense of humor to his satire.

A Vote for the Easter Bunny is a Vote for....nothing!

What has the giant white rabbit done for us" Nothing! But then again, considering the murders taking place, neither has the other candidates. Why pick between a bloodsucker and a pirate when you can choose a large, fluffy bunny"

The Easter Bunny will promise colourful eggs be delivered at least once a year, along with chocolate and various other goodies. The Easter Bunny will not protect you, but considering the decline of the merchant marine in Rhy'Din and the prevalence of pirates wreaking havoc on trade....neither will G'nort. The Easter Bunny might not have "resources" and "connections", but considering that Longdon has only gotten endorsements from his own 'in-crowd', it's obvious who will be the most resourceful and connected, now isn't it"

Don't waste your vote by bothering with two trumped up, self-titled, self-important politician wannabes. Demand chocolate. Demand brightly painted eggs.

Demand the fluffiness.

Vote for the Easter Bunny.

Paid for by the Committee to Elect the Easter Bunny as Rhy'Din's Governor.

The Arturian Wood Rat looks at the attempt at humor (or is it mockery), its head turning from side to side.

Realizes that it's just another case of someone who does absolutely nothing to help the city making fun of those who would give up some time in their lives to at least try.

"I know the Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny is a friend of mine

And you, sir, are no Easter Bunny.

Thank you to G'nort and Talomar for their time and effort, and for making this interesting."
