Alrighty. We have a Nameday (http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=639.0) coming up tomorrow, and we have a lot of work to do. As with any Redwall feast, we need helpers to prepare food, someone to set tables for the feast, someone to wash dibbuns, etc...
If you can help out while we prepare, please post here what you want do. Jobs are first come first serve. And while you work, feel free to discuss the upcoming festivities, and try to figure out who will be chosen to name the next season.
Happy (almost) Nameday!

Um....ok. I'll help prepare food! I'm willing to make a big cake......I think. I don't think I really get what's going on, but I like making cakes!
I'll also help with the food and pick flowers for the tables.
How does this work? Is it like an RPing event or what?
Ah'll be happy tae get in the way!
Getting in the way in the kitchens is your best bet, things are bustiest there. Just don't get in the way of the food-making.
I'll play VI2 and shoot vermin in a Nameday Parade. That's themed to the event, right?
I volunteer to keep an eye on the dibbuns.
I'm pretty excited about our first nameday! Who do you think will be chosen to name the season?
I was wondering that too. And at the moment I am picking wildflowers.
Ah hope tha' the beaverz dinnae interfere...
I shall...uh...make seat cards so everyone know's where to sit...
I'm teaching the Dibbun a new song to sing. I'll be playing my violin for them
*turns to the dibbuns*
I'm the Musician here. So stop trying to teach yourselves how to sing. Ready now:
We see the sunshine out in the rain,
We hope it will never come again.
We will be very happy,
When we return to Redwall Abbey
The sorrowful days are gone,
The battle is over, the quest is done,
So joy to you, and to me,
When we return to Redwall Abbey.
Though down comes the snow,
We are all happy to know,
This sunset is beautiful to see,
Now that we've returned to Redwall Abbey
*dibbun tugs at Musicians dress "We ain't retuning to Redwall Abbey. We've been here the whole time" says the dibbun*
Use your imagination and pretend your retuning to Redwall
*dibbun says "Why don't we do a different song?"*
Fine! I'll find a different song.
Hiag walkz up and zingz a new zong fer the dibbunz.
Frogblood, frogblood,
toad and newt-tail stew!
Chop them up and put them in a pan
best dish across the lan',
A nice big bowl for you!
Eagle eye eagle eye,
baked into a rat-ears pie.
Pluck them out and put them in a pan
right next to a sparrow-meat and tortoise flan!
Lizard tongue, lizard tongue,
snake-skin and ferret bread!
Cut them out
and throw the teeth out,
when finished then you'll be dead!
The dibbunz laugh with delight at the zong and ztart runnin' around zinging it over an' over.
I'll help set the tables. ;D
Well, I'll help with the produce picking and the invites around Mossflower wood! You know, go see the local families living in Mossflower, invite them to the feast!
Otters will need their shrimp and hotroot soup so I'll get on that for them. :) You're going to have a mighty disappointed skipper crew otherwise.
Congrats Tiria on such a great name! Let the celebrations begin! I for one, am eying that delicious trifle over there...
Yes, congrats Tiria. A better name than I could ever come up with. And Icefire, I'm having some of your delicious cake!!!
Good job and all that, Miss Tiria. I finally got the Dibbuns to sing a good song. They were running around singing songs about frogs and lizards.
Hip hurray! Season nameday!
'Tis a feast, a name, a cheer!
Go along sing our song!
The new season is here!
Autumn of the Golden Melody!
Hip and Hurray! Feast and Cheer!
The song we sing in charity
For our good Tiria dear!
I wrote it especially for you Tiria!
Congrats, Tiria! I love that name!!! Now to make a cake worthy of the name.....
"And I shall volunteer to keep the abbey safe and devour anything in sight," says Nightfire, with her crew of 80 squirrels behind her.
Congrats on being chosen, Tiria!
*breaks out bottles of strawberry cordial and passes them around*
Happy Nameday everyone! Yay for the Autumn season and for Tiria! =D
Fifty bottles of grog on the wall, fifty bottles of grog! Take one- *falls unconcious*
GROG!
Yum! Strawberry cordial! Happy Nameday everyone!
Cake's ready! It's a big ole white cake with white frosting and candied chestnuts!!!
Congratulations, Tiria! The new season name is lovely.
And Musician, that song is great. Cheers, everyone! *Quaffs strawberry cordial*
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm That cake is great Icefire!!!
Happy Nameday, everyone! Congrats, Tiria, on the great season name! :)
Now, can someone pass me the dandelion and burdock cordial, and some of that soft nut cheese, I'm starfished here.
oh its so good the cake the songs the drinks its just so good. congrats tiria great name but it isnt atoumn
Glad you like the cake! It's a recipe I've never tried before so I wasn't really sure how it would turn out. Please pass the Strawberry fizz! Although, I was wondering.....why on earth are we giving Autumn a name when it won't be autumn until September 23rd?
Aw, thanks guys. :)
And, Musician, I like the song. :D
Pass me that strawberry cordial! And the trifle! Oh, and the hotroot soup!
*takes a humble bow*
What are Musicians for, wot! I was glad to make a song for Miss Tiria.
*starts eating everything in sight*
Heeheehee...I still don't *hiccup* get why we're celebrating the naming of Autumn *hahahahaha* a month early. WOOHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAA!!!! Wow that strawberry fizz makes me (heehee) giggly!
Ah need a job!
Ye can help ME with gettin' in the way if ye want!
An' na' ah just have two words tae zae.
FOOD FIGHT!
Yaayaa! Happy Nameday! Throws last candied chestnut then regrets it.
It's a little late, but let me express my personal congratulations to our season namer, Tiria Wildlough!
... I didn't realize I was missing out on the party yesterday, oh well.
Happy Nameday!
No food fight, please! That happened in the Quest for the Sword RP! And it got a little out of control. Riverfern and Streamrush are volunteering to mind the pond and keep the dibbuns in check. Alenra and Araiah are going to forage for some woodlands food. Lady Amber is making a candied chestnut trifle in the kitchens, Streamblaze is fishing for watershrimp in the ford. Nightfire and her squirrelband are eating everything in sight.
Lutra watches as some things are thrown around the room.
*Ok, if any of this soup leaves the bowl, not meant to be put into the owner's mouth, I'll smack you with a ladle.*
;D
*Line up for hotroot soup*
Log-a-log tries the hotroot soup, decides its too hot, and dives in the Abbey pond
Aldar zitz in a tree, reading a book.
All the food... Unfortunately, I can't eat any of it. :(
As of today, I'm not eating for 40 hours all for charity.

Wow! That's really awesome thing you're doing, Daniel. Way to go, and good luck! =D
Good luck!!!
That's awesome Daniel, good luck!
Less then 24 hours to go! But I'm STARFISHED!
Worry not, 'tis but a fleeting moment in the big picture.
^^Nice, DanielofRedwall. I could never fast for 40 hours. I eat when I'm bored. :D
*Loads plate with 1 piece of deeper 'n ever pie, 1 small roast fish, 2 leek and mushroom pasties, and 5 cookies.* p:
And Dad just HAS to cook an amazing dinner tonight, doesn't he?! >:( :'( We're even having a visitor for dinner!
Oh, well... :(
There will probably be plenty of awesome dinners in the future. Now is probably not the best time to read about Redwall feasts. :D
aye, and remember that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. (Philippians 4:13)
That is one of my favorite verses. Actually, what in the world? All of the verses in the Bible are my favorite! Especially Genesis 1:1. ;D Most positive, authoritative, and declarative statement ever!!!
:) I love that verse!
Well, less then 5 minutes to go, and I'm just reflecting on this experience. I'm really hungry, but I've learnt heaps about world hunger. If I'm hungry, imagine what the people who can only have a meal a week are like! Anyway, I'm going to go have my first meal for 40 hours now. The famine has finished. :) I DID IT!!!
Congratulations, Daniel! :)

No kidding! "In the beginning, God" :o How do you miss the significance of that statement?
Ha' in the world did we go intae dizcuzzin' religion?!
I think the Autumn of the Golden Melody will be a good season, kicked off by this nameday. Anyone else think so?
Congrats Daniel!
What a wonderful Nameday celebration!

I think it will be a great season...but I still don't understand why we're celebrating a month early!
That's probably because you're in another part of the world. ;) *shrug*
I wish there was all the food that gets described. p:
Nice going, Daniel! Next time you should have a sleep over with some other friends who are participating. That's what I used to do when I did it and it makes it a lot easier. I hope your first meal was delicious.
I also think we're going to have a great season. I know the equinox isn't for another month, but if we count the season as starting on the first of September (that's how I always think of it) then I don't think we're too early at all.
Here's to the Autumn of the Golden Melody, and here's to Tiria for being our first season namer!

Well, ye can alwayz eat yer computer...
Keep a lookout at the trees. Soon they'll change colour to gold, then fall off and next thing we know the Dibbuns will be jumping in leaf piles.
Long live Tiria, namer of this glorious season!
LEAF MONZTERZ!
