Steampunk Rabbit and Woodgnome Woes
Reports are emerging of another chapter in the ongoing saga of Crankley Caverns’ Steampunk White Rabbit and The Goyt’s Woodgnome Man as pictures came to light of a recent encounter between the two. Crankley, nestled just over the fields from Loungeville, was once again the scene of mechanical mayhem and mushroom-induced madness.
The Steampunk White Rabbit, a local legend known for his intricate mechanical gears and ever-present brass goggles, has a notorious reputation for stirring up trouble. His long-standing feud with The Goyt’s Woodgnome Man is the stuff of local folklore, and yesterday’s events have only added fuel to the fire.
The Woodgnome Man, while dining at the Fool and Bladder, had just partaken of Mushroom Muffins and Elderberry Wine and was enjoying an afternoon in the woods around Crankley Caverns, whilst strumming his guitar. His peaceful day was about to be rudely interrupted. The Steampunk White Rabbit, with his gears whirring and goggles gleaming, confronted The Woodgnome Man.
Witnesses say the rabbit’s sudden appearance and mechanical clanking startled the Woodgnome Man so severely that he not only soiled himself but also managed to soil the rabbit in the process. Apparently The 
Woodgnome Man’s hemorrhoid riddled ringpiece exploded like salted caramel popcorn in an overheated microwave, covering both himself and the White Rabbit in faecal matter. The scene was described as a chaotic mix of gears, gnomes, and an unfortunate amount of sweet smelling excreta.
Local medics from Loungeville were quickly called to the scene. They’re well known for their unconventional yet effective treatments and decided that ice-cold enemas were the best course of action to halt the flow of popcorn peppered caramel cack.
Both the Woodgnome Man and the Steampunk White Rabbit are currently recovering under the watchful eyes of Loungeville’s medics. Meanwhile, X-rays of the Woodgnome Man’s Intergluteal-cleft have been forwarded to nearby Slackham’s colorectal hospital for further inspection.
The incident has once again highlighted the unique weirdness and eccentricity of Crankley. The Crankeez, ever resilient and good-humored, have taken the event in their stride. “It’s just another day in Crankley,” said one local, chuckling. “You never know what’s going to happen next, but that’s what makes living here so special.”
As the village buzzes with the latest gossip, one thing is certain: the feud between the Steampunk White Rabbit and The Goyt’s Woodgnome Man is far from over. And while the rest of the world might find their antics bewildering, for the Crankeez, it’s just another delightful day in their wonderfully wacky world.
However, on a more serious note, Loungeville’s Mayor is urging residents to remain vigilant and report any sightings of the Steampunk White Rabbit. Woodgnome Man, while shaken, is recovering and hopes to return to his musical duties soon. The community is rallying around him, offering support and encouragement during this difficult time.
