Ok, so the way you play this, is basically all the members are Rping as dibbuns and are trying to run away from the Mods who are the sisters and brother's trying to catch them and put them back into bed with a stern talking to. The Admin's on the other hand are the Badger Mums and Lords, so they might be less lenient with naughty dibbuns ;).
There is no real end goal with this, unless all the dibbuns are back safely in bed, but I doubt that will ever happen knowing the people on this forum ;).
Anyway, the only rules are that you have to only use resources a dibbun would be able to acquire (No laser guns or holograms or swords or huge boulders even a badger can't lift or anything like that) and that once you are in bed you have to sneak out without being caught again which will be harder if the Mods are smart about this.
It is also recommended that you speak in dibbun language, but it is not mandatory, it is just more fun that way :)
Anyway....DIBBUNS! YOU HAVE NOW BEEN UNLEASHED! RUN FREEEEEEE!
Oh, YES! Do we need to sign up? Because count me signed-up.
FYI, you might want to appoint some members to be brothers and sisters/ admin roles, considering not all mods/admins are that active.
I'll join in the chase :D
I'll sign up Ami :)
I'm in!
can we join later in the game if we dont sign up right away?
I glanced at this and thought it said "Dibbuns on Sale!" :P
Dibbuns! Come get yer Dibbuns! These little rascals're on sale, today only! Buy One get Three Free! We don' wan' em no more, get 'em away. Please we're beggin' ye, theyre too much fer us ta handle. Theyre all over da place. They set Snaggtooth on fire an' we cant find me matey Arftail anywhere.

That is a good point...If anyone wants to be a sister or brother, you may be that if you want, but you cannot switch between dibbuns and brothers/sisters. Pick one, and stay that way, other wise it wouldn't be fair.
Also I am not sure if this might become more of a cellars topic or not.
okay cool thanks :)
Your welcome!
Ok let's start.
BIC: Ami takes a moment to realize she is able to finally escape, and blinks in the light of the open doorway. She throws the sheets off her bed and runs out of the room to the hallway. She pokes her head back into the room, "Hey.....Hey! We need to get out of here before they realize they left the door open! Come on!"
OOC: Oh, joyous day!
BIC: Groddy stares at the open door and cackles. The little fox reaches into his pillowcase and pulls out a small slingshot, before rushing over to join Ami.
"Heeheehee! Ami, Ami! Ca' we waid the kichings? I's hungered!"
"YesYesYes! An we can eat a great big st'awberry pie, all for us! Le's go-go-go!!
"Wait! Wait fer meee!" Galli wiggled herself off the bed, landing on the floor with a soft thump. She was a tiny little mousling, quite small for even a Dibbun her age. "I wanna s'awberry pie!!"
"Yay! St'awbee pie an' corjul an' pasties an'...an'...Why don' we jus' 'ave all of it?!?!"
The little fox was waving his slingshot around wildly; thankfully, it was unloaded.
"'Ang on...Wot if da bwothers an' sisters finds us? Wot if dey tells da h'Abbot? We 'as ta be quieter an' a mouse. An' if I sees any bigbeasts, I'll shoot 'em wif me slingerstinger!"
"HurryHurryHurry! I wanna St'aberry pie too, but the meanie sisters won' let us, If they catch us! We gotta go now, sssshhhhhhhhhhhhh. We go inte the kitchen and hide in there until no one is left an den we take as much st'awberry pie as we can! We need a sec'et hideout!"
"Im'a quietener mouse. The quietenerest."
She hopped up and down in excitement. "Sec'et 'ideout! Sec'et 'ideout! I knowuva good 'un, Ami, a real good 'un! Unner da table!"
Groddy slipped through the open door, slingshot raised.
"Ooh, I knows a sec'et 'ideout. We can hide in da bawwels in da cella!"
Ro heard the commotion and rolled over, fell onto the floor and ran over to the the other dibbuns and shouted "Sec'et 'ideout! Sec'et 'ideout!"
Galli whirled to face her, tiny claw to her mouth like she'd seen the sisters do. "SSSHHHHHHHHHHH Ro! We gots ta be quiet or da siters'll catch us!"
"SHHHHHHHHHHH! We gotta be quiet! Da Bare'ls'll work! They never look for us dere! Cume on! Quick Quick Quick!!!! We gotta go! Now! No more a'dis waiting awound! Go!"
Groddy waved his slingshot at Ro.
"Shaddup! Got ta be silenced! We find da vittles an' hide in da bawwels. 'Urry up!"
The little fox crept onto the top step.
Galli noticed didn't like her idea getting rejected. She pouted. "Why we gotta go ta da baralies? Da cellars're dark. Da H'Abbot says notta go down dere." She padded softly up to stand next to Groddy at the top step. She stared down the steep stairs, her voice a husky whisper. "We're gorna get alla way down dese ourselfs?" She sucked on the tip of her tail nervously.
Ro ran to the stairs of the cellar and down to the barrels, looking around to see if anyone was there, " 'da coats's clear!" she whispered and climbed into a barrel
"Zack'ly! Da h'Abbot won't look fer us down dere, 'cause 'ee won't fink us'n's diso...disbii...dinna lissen ta him! Let's go!"
The little fox tucked his slingshot back into his clothing and slowly started to descend the steps. He got down three, before tripping and landing two further steps down.
"Owwww...I's not 'urted."
Shaking himself off, Groddy continued to inch down the stairs.
OOC: cum is a different pronounciation of come.
@Rose: That was quick.
"The H'Abbot'll be h'angrered if'n he finds us in da cellars." Galli sat down and scooted herself down the steps, occassionally slipping bump bump bump! down a few.
"You 'kay Groddy?" Ro said as she climbed out of the barrel, "You looks 'urted"
"M'kay."
He turned to Galli.
"Well den, we won' let da h'Abbot find us! 'Ere, some of ya stay in da bawwel, an' somebeast 'elp me ta carry da vittles!"
Galli finally bump bump bumped! herself all the way down the stairs. "I wanna carry da vittles Groddy!"
Ami ran down the stairs until she almost fell, then she tip toed down carefully and quietly.
"I'mma come too! I wanna get a big stuwubel all for me! Does anyone know how to get to the kitchens quickly? We gonna get tired out if we go too far wi' all dat food."
"We swipe a cart! Sister carries da food out onna cart!" Galli squeaked, hopping up and down excitedly.
"I fink dere's anadda t'ing o' steps dat goes ta da kichings. I wanna cawwee lots a dwinks."
The fox began looking around for the stairs.
Fatch had been a little more nervous than the other dibbuns, and only once a fair few had left did he come to join the fun:
"Sawry I take so long! I was nervus! You's takin all the dwinks? We's could be gettin in big troubles for that'n! You sures its okay? What if da buddas and sisstas come?"
Being one of the older dibbuns, Ami started to take control. "As long as we are quiet they won't know we are down here. It is too dark for them to see anything. We can use the cart until the stairs. Then, we will have to carry the drinks and strudels and pies down to our secret hideout. Ok, who want's to go and get the food, and who wants to stay here and make the hideout better for hidin in?"
Ro tried to climb out of the barrel she was in, and accidentally toppled it over onto the floor making a loud 'bang' "Oops did I bweak anyf'ing?"
"Shhhh! You will break our food if you don't be quiet! The sistas and brothas will come for us! Quick, ev'ryone! Hide!
"Hide where?" Ro screeched looking around for a hiding place, and crawled behind a box in the corner
Galli scurried to hide between the barrels. "I wanna carry food!" She whispered to Ami.
"Ok Ok, Shhhhhhhh. We gotta make sure there is no one that heard Ro, otherwise, no food!"
The abbey otter, the shellhound, went to find him self a cool drink after the hot days work in mossflower woods. Hearing a funny noise he went quikly down the steps with his rudder tail thumping behind him.
Galli hushed up quickly when she heard footsteps and sunk further into the shadows between the barrels.
Fatch whimpered in terror -
"We's gonna get caught! We's gonna get caught! I knew I shudda stayed in bed!"
Desperately, he dove into the corner with Ro - grinning sheepishly and whispering
"We' gonna be in big big trubble!"
Groddy giggled slightly as he heard Leatho descending one set of stairs. The little fox grabbed his slingshot and rushed up the second staircase into the kitchen. Groddy smirked. Completely deserted. The fox dived into a nearby cupboard and pulled it shut. He almost cried out with glee. The entire cupboard was stacked full of delicious treats. Groddy crawled over them into the back corner, where he began gorging himself on a large pastie.
Ro smiled and hugged Fatch, "Its gunna be okay, Ami 'nd Galli are the smart'test dibbuns here" she whispered trying not to be seen.
Ami heard both the shellhound and the dibbuns talking and whimpering. She quickly snuck back behind the closest barrel, and tried to gesture to the other dibbuns to stay as silent as possible. If they messed this up, everyone would be caught.
(Think I wouldn't mind popping in. Do I have to play as a badger? I have my own idea for a portrayal.)
OOC: What do you have in mind? It should be fine, and you can also be an Abbot, but only one person can be an Abbot/Abbess.
(I'd be an owl of some presumed but undefined level of importance.)
OOC: Yeah that is fine, as long as you aren't savage (these are dibbuns after all)
Ro held her breath and tried not to move so she could be as quiet as she could.
James, the resident Abbey owl and a long-time friend of the Abbot Matthias, swaggered self-importantly to the top of the cellar steps. After adjusting his pair of spectacles, he squinted into the darkness below and called out, "Leatho, are you down here?"
Fatch heard the voice of a second abbey elder. With a squeak of panic, he sunk deeper behind the crate.
He looked around for an escape route, and saw the door to the cellarhog's room - deep snores were coming from in there.
"I'bet dey won't check b'hind a sleepy'beast!" He whispered, and scurried inside to hide behind the sleeping hog.
Ro looked around and followed Fatch into the cellarhog's room, "Is it safe?" she whispered to Fatch.
"S'long as we don't wake the cellyhog!" Fatch whispered back.
"If'n the bigbeasts come in here, we shud make a run fer it!"
OOC: Could I be a visiting adult badger?
OOC: Sure, remember once you pick catcher then you can't be a dibbun later. :)
"Okay lets be weely quiet" Ro whispered, listening for the 'bigbeasts' If they came close.
@Leatho Shellhound @James Gryphon @Lord Ashenwyte We need you guys to came back and try to catch us!
Having completely gorged himself, Groddy crawled out from the cupboard. Feeling like causing mischief, he unwound his sling and crept towards the stairs. The dibbun nearly burst out giggling when he saw James standing at the top of the stairs. The little fox grinned evilly, whirling a stone from his sling towards the owl. As soon as he had fired the missile, Groddy shot off back towards his cupboard.
Fatch took advantage of the momentary distraction to slip past Leatho, and then past the owl as well while it attempted to see what had hit it. He dashed into the kitchen as well, and began helping himself to the deserts, encouraged by the elder's apparent lack of recognition of what was going on:
"Yum, yum. No bigbeasts fast enuf to catcher me! Fatch eata all da derzerts!"
@Leatho Shellhound @James Gryphon @Lord Ashenwyte We need you guys to came back and try to catch us!
again.
@Amarith Waterspring I can switch to an adult if that's okay. (It'd be nice if another Dibbun would also switch with me!)
Sure you can be an adult. I would join you but I should stay a dibbun. We really do just need some one to catch us otherwise there is no point. :P
The new abbeybeast, Sister Gallivant, was up doing her chores when she'd heard a noise coming from the stairs. A quick peek revealed them empty, but now there seemed to be something in the Cellars, making noise. "Is anyone in there?" She called from the door, hesitant to go into the darkness.
Fatch, having eaten enough deserts to become too tired of them to eat any more, found himself full of energy from the sugar intake.
He jumped his way through the hall, headed for the entrance to the great hall. All he had to do was sneak out the door and he would be free to roam the grounds. He could swim in the abbey pond, climb the orchard trees. Everything in sight was his land, and he was the little king!
Sister Gallivant spun around, this time hearing a noise from the hall. She was beginning to get nervous...
There was something there...
Oh my! Was that a Dibbun? She hurried after the hopping little shape, which she just barely caught sight of heading into the Great Hall.
Ro skittered away from the cellarhog's room when she heard the sister calling down the stairs and ran towards the barrels of strawberry cordial to taste it before they got caught.
Another sound from the Cellars! The sister skidded to a halt. Should she keep chasing the might-be-Dibbun or go investigate the Cellars?
Fatch was now attempting to open the great big door to the grounds. It was heavy, and all his strength moved it inch by inch. It opened with a loud creak!
With a giggle of glee, Fatch ran out onto the grounds - he would head to the wall! Another dibbun had told him yesterday how he had balanced on the battlements. Fatch wasn't sure if this was true, but he had to come up with an equally good story!
THE DOOR CREAKED OPEN. She dashed after that. There was definitely something wrong. As she got outside, she could see, across the open lawn, little Dibbun Fatch, running quick as he could toward the wall.
"Hey! Stop!!"
"Come on guys! We need to get the cart up the stairs! Come on come on come on!" SHe whispered loudly. "We need to get it past the big birdy quick!"
Fatch, hearing a voice behind him, looked back to see a pursuer!
"'Elp 'Elp! Bigbeast gonna catcher me mates!"
He tried to put on a burst of speed, but his legs were short, nowhere near long enough to outrun Gallivant.
At the last moment, just before scooping little Fatch up in her arms, Gallivant tripped and got a face full of dirt.
OOC: So did you actually catch me, or did you miss by an inch?
OOC: missed by an inch ;)
Fatch was somewhat concerned for the sister's health after such a fall.
"Er, whachu fall over fore sista galli? Are you okay?"
The rascally little beast, was poised to sprint away as soon as it was confirmed that the sister, was in fact, not dead.
The Sister rolled over on her back, to stare up at the sky and contemplate her failure in life. The sunrise, she noticed, was very beautiful.
"What're you doin' out here, Dibbun?" she asked, straining her head to look at him. Her view was upside down.
OOC: I figured if the Dibbuns were up before the rest of the Abbeybeasts then it must still be pretty early
Fatch waved his arms around mysteriously :
"Er, there be noes dibbuns here Miss Sista Galli! Nothin' around here to see! Sista Galli must go back to bed! Hehehehe.... "
Giggling maddly, Fatch sprinted back towards the cellars.
Gallivant scrambled to her feet and pursued the Dibbun.
Ro ran back towards the stairs seeing that the coast was clear, she ran up to the bell tower steps and started climbing. She had always wanted to see what was at the top, but the meanie sisters never let her.
Back inside the building, the Abbey was still filled with early morning gloom. Sister Galli lost sight of the Dibbun, but she was sure there had been noises coming from the Cellar. She headed that way.
Having successfully gorged himself, Groddy checked that there were no adults around, before making a beeline for the dormitory.
Fatch was almost to the cellars, when he spotted Ro heading for the bell towers. The elders had always warned of the dangers of the place - horrific injuries and the like, from falling. This made it a perfect spot to explore with his new freedom. He hurried to catch up to her.
"Hehe, if we ring the bells, we could wake the whole Abbey! We'd be in so much truble!"
Ro stopped in her tracks "I don' wanna get in truble!" Just then a master plan formed in her mind, "Wa' if we rung de bells then climbed back down the step! They'd never know It was us!"
Fatch jumped up and down excitedly.
"Le's do it! Le's do it Ro!"
"Hooray!" Ro squealed and stumbled over in her hurry to get to the tower.
The Sister heard voices again, tiny squeaky excited voices. She ran off in that direction. Seemed like they were headed to the bell tower.
Ro dashed up the steps of the bell tower, as quick Asa dibbun her size could dash anyway. She looked behind her every few steps or so to make sure Fatch was still right behind her.
Sister Galliver arrived in the tower just as the young ones reached the half way point. "DIBBUNS NO."
Ro squealed and continued speed crawling up the tower tripping as she went.
@Aimless Gallivanter @Amarith Waterspring
DIBBUNS STOOOP
Sister Galliver rushed up the stairs, taking two at a time. She quickly caught up to them.
"Fa'ch run!" Ro dashed in-between Sister Galliver's legs and ran tumbling and falling down the steps.
The sister spun and snatched up the tiny hedgehog maid. Then she spun on the mousebabe, frozen on the steps.
@Fatch of Southsward
Fatch gave up peacefully.
"Sorry sista! Dinnint mean to be so naughty! I go silently now!"
As soon as he had drawn level to the Sister, he took off like a shot -
"Hehehehee!!! Diddint say where I was goin'! Don't worry Ro! We gonna save'a you!
"Fa'ch! Don' leave me wif da Sister!" Ro said squirming in her grip. "She make me take a bath again!"
"No baths for baby Ro. We're just gonna chuck you straight into the lake."
"NOOOOOOO!" Screamed Ro, squirming even harder. "Fa'ch! Da sista is gunna drown meee!"
OOC: I forget where I left off on this before soo...I think I was in the kitchen.
BIC: "Okay, we gotta get as many snacks as we can hold! Before they come back!" Ami grabs as many strawberries as she can put in her pockets.
Anyone still up for this?
*Popz 'ead in* Ach, ziz lookz intereztin'! Ah'll join!
BIC: Header poked his head into the Kitchens doorway. "Oi! Is zere eno'ff fer me's too? Ah dae loik'z ze ztrav'beer'yies!"
*wiggles out of Sister Galli's grasp* Hehe! Yull neva catch mee!
"Hey! Gettcher own stauberries. Theser mine! I'mma make em inta an crumble! A biiiig crumble all f'me!"
"Ach, zat no's be nices. Ze abbot zayz t' zharez..." pouted Header. The Dibbun Weasel wearing a kilt snuck into the Kitchens and started looking for some more Strawberries.
"I don care what de abbot says, I want alla dees stauberries, an I'm gonna eattem all!" Ami grabs a last pawfull of strawberries and runs over to the cupboard. "Now... where did dey put da biiiig crumble bowwl..."
"Ach, ne'er moind ze's ztrav'berr'iyes...Ah 'll foind zome noice plum's...." Header said and started to look for the Plums. Surely they would be there somewhere.
Rosie dashed, fumbled and flopped down the few stairs she had climbed up.
"Oof!"
She landed on the last step with a plonk. Dizzy, she got up and waddled away as fast as her tiny legs could carry her.
"Ah! 'Ere it is!" Ami dragged out a large bowl from the cupboard and started dumping her half crushed strawberries into the bowl. After that was done, she went on the hunt for the sacks of flour.
OOC: We should probably get some Adults in here before Ami decides her crumble is ready for the oven.
OOC: Ve could alvayz 'ave one zat iz nae actually controlled by vone member zae ve could av vroite zem daein' zummat. Or ve could move ziz tae ze Cellarz. Skarzs 'ad pozted zat 'e didnae gae tae ze gamez much, zae if ve moved zere ve moight get more beaztz in it.
BIC: Header opened a cabinet and found the Plums at last. Smiling a happy Weasel smile he began eating them, one at a time so he could enjoy them better.
OOC: That might be a good idea. How would I go about moving it?
BIC: Upon finding the sacks of flour, Ami was faced with a dilemma; the sacks of flour were waaaaay to big and heavy for her to lift or even drag over to her bowl. She decided to bring the bowl over to the sacks and started to scoop out flour with her paws. Shortly she was a white, powdery, dibbun shaped lump running around the kitchens in search of the sugar.
OOC: Probably azk James tae move it Ah reckon.
BIC: Header had had his fill of Plums and decided to go looking for some tasty Blueberries.
Ro noticed that Sister Galli seemed to be unmoving and stood where she was, staring ahead at the few steps in front of her. She guessed that the Sister was trying to trick Ro and she waddled even faster than before. She scurried back into the kitchens and started to follow Header around, waiting for something to do.
Finding a big bowl of Blueberries in a cabinet Header stuck his little Weasel head into it and started to gorge himself.
Kreg waking up from a deep slumber tries to get out of his bed, flops on the floor with a soft thump and Starts gunning it
Rosie sensed someone moving nearby and screeched "WHO'S THERE??" until realizing that they were very much supposed to be quiet currently.
"AAA ooh it just yowe wee need tow be qwiet Ro! uddawise da sistas gunna catsh us. "
"REVOLUUUUUTION" Ro dashed out of the kitchen flailing their arms.
"Waht ware ar you gowin? RO! ugh whant sowm foud now" Kreg said while walking into the kitchen
Arv the Dibbun shows up and is like "Revolution? I'm in"
"What? No! No revo'ushun! We needs t' be bery bery quieeeet... udda wise we don get th' food. I wan a staberry cumble an I'm not gunna get it if th' sistas hear of a revo'ushun! So SHHHHHHH." Ami was very adamantly against the idea of a revolution.
Header pulled his head out of the bowl of Blueberries. "Aye, nay revolutionz...Ziz a quiet inztancer o' tievery!" He stuck his Weasely head, now covered with Blueberry juice, back into the bowl of Blueberries.
Foood? I want some staberry cumble!
Nah, just take the stawberry crumble. Then no bed.
*revive*
Anyone still interested?
Sebias poked his head out from undeneath a bed, his ear perked up and a grin on his face, wagging his tail to and fro.
Le'sa get de big-big pie! *Lassie stood on her bed and raised the long piece of drift wood the skipper had given to her*
Now's us's tance! De big bad'da mam all sleepy-sleep!
