(Pea City, Apr. 11, 2010)Three months ago, an invasive strain of the sugar snap pea appeared in and around The Nu Warren. The peas were initially believed to be benign, but recent events have proved otherwise. Likened to the recent epidemic of crystal meth addiction, the effect of the sugar snap peas are being felt far and wide. Several Friends of the Warren have fallen victim to this pea epidemic. Symptoms include increased heart rate, blurry vision, and a heightened level of enthusiasm for sugar snap peas.
Most recently, approximately 25 kilos of the dangerous sugar snap peas was discovered outside of a Friend's house. The street value of this crop is estimated to be downwards of $1.25. This cache of peas, which have grown to almost as tall as a certain neighboring rabbit, have leaves the size of a rabbit paw and are eagerly anticipated by many Friends. The pea-growing Friend (name withheld but pictured here) describes the peas as having a "magical" effect.
