Welcome!
This marks the start of Friday's Farm Raid.
This thread serves as an entry point to the rp and as a role-call. It will open at about 12:30 pm CST and finish around 2:00 pm CST. This gives people time to adjust to several people in one rp as well as a chance for people to finish up whatever else they've got going on and settle in.
I am aware of a few people that will be late to the party, if you are one of those please quote me in the main thread of the shop to get my attention and I'll get you settled into a team. You can act like your rabbit's been there all along.

Suggestions
Just some tips to help survive posting in a chaotic free-for-all
- 'claim' your post first before typing up your response. You can always go back and edit your post and fill in the rp, but that lets your teammates and me know to wait and expect something.
- Keep your rabbit's post-style copied in a notepad and easily grabbed for whenever you need.
- I suggest putting a thumbnail image of your bun in the corner of each post so that people that aren't familiar with you or your rabbit will quickly know and understand who they're talking to and interacting with.
If you don't know how to make an image a thumbnail:
- grab the image's url
- and add "th_" right before the image's name. Example below.

- Keep your teammates in the loop. I highly suggest creating a large chatroom on Skype, MSN, AIM or even something as silly as creating a game on Gaia like in Puzzles and give the password to your teammates. That way you can talk to each other quickly on a private channel and hopefully grab their attention when needed. If all of these things aren't available, quote people in the main thread, PM them, or even make small OOC notes in the bottom of your rp posts to let them know when you're going afk for water or need to run somewhere.
- Try the Buddy System. If you know and trust someone on your team with your phone number, offer to swap numbers and text each other when something happens or they're needed.

Ginkgo sat at attention, his long, limber body stiff and unmoving despite the cold winds that gusted along the down. The tawny furred buck was cold, hungry, and ornery. He was never not ornery, however, and his narrowed eyes and slight frown seemed naturally stuck to his features. Today's affair, however, was a grim one, yet much needed. Althea would be leading this raid, just as she had the last time. He'd been stuck on the down, patrolling for elil. This time, he'd be in the fray and while he was worried, he was also eager to get on with it. The sooner they raided the farm, the sooner they could return to the warmth and safety of the warren. 
Feverfew sat impatiently, grooming her torn ear as she awaited orders. She'd volunteered the moment she heard there would be a second raid. So many rabbits had been wounded last time and poor Ray never made it home. She was more than ready to help out, hoping that she could at least make some sort of difference. She was scared, but her demeanor did not express it more than subtly. Her red eyes were hard and her jaw set as she settled on to all fours, ears at attention. 
Here they all went again, another raid for food. There had been no words this time. Things were bleak with the kittens growing bigger, stronger and there were also the hutch rabbits. Talltale sighed as he followed everyone else down the Down and across the wilds. They were headed for the farm again, this time he hoped to see everyone returning home safely. The moral after the last one was a little low despite to what was brought home. This was a second chance to bring home more and try to get everyone home safely.
