Summer Time Roleplaying

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

  The young wildcat jumped in fright as the rock smashed into the wall. She struggled for a moment to keep her grip on the wall and yelped indignantly as Shisteer scrambled up towards the battlements.
  "Hey! Coward!" Ebantu gritted her teeth and dug her claws more firmly into the cracks between the bricks of the wall. she pushed off with her hind legs and propelled herself several feet up, quickly finding new pawholds. She reflected with wrath of the Otterbadger's words. 'Young 'uns aren't allowed on the walls or ramparts'! I'll have her know I'm almost fourteen seasons of age! I'll show him I'm no longer the 'young 'un' I was. The annoyance fueled her energy and she climbed faster after her friend.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Teer found some decent pawholds and paused, waiting for her friend to catch up.
"I'd be a coward if I gave in and didn't climb the wall. As it is, I'm not sure how the term coward applies to my present situation."
As the wildcat came level with her, Teer grinned broadly and began climbing again.
"One thing I am sure of: I talk too much."

[Kade Rivok]

Kadette, the Otterbadgermother, stepped forward peered over the ramparts and down at the two that were climbing up the wall.  My, what rambunctious ones, they are.  That's how it should be, I suppose. he thought to himself ruefully.  Waving, he smiled down at the pair. 

"You two are much better climbers than I'd given you credit!  Almost makes me wonder if you two aren't part squirrel!"

[shisteer of nothing much]

Teer blinked, wondering how the otterbadgermother had got from the pond to the top of the wall without her noticing. She shrugged fatalistically, still climbing. I'm going to be in huge trouble anyway. There's no sense in trying to avoid her. Otterbadgers live a lot longer than other beasts so I'll most likely have to deal with it eventually.
Looking up, the young taniwha smiled boldly, her mind going over her family trees.
"I think my great great grandfather's second cousin's great uncle was a squirrel, now that you mention it."

[Verdauga]

Speaking of squirrels, one dashed out on the ramparts alongside Kadette. "Ach!" Verdauga exclaimed, doing his best to imitate a highland hare, "will ye braw beasties please refrain from throwing things at the infirmary? Ah narely jumped out o' me fur!" Turning to the otterbadgermother, he gave a lazy grin, saying "And when do ye think the food's gonna be out, eh? Keeping beasts fitter 'n me fiddle is a right famishing work, donchaknow!"


OOC: Yes, it took me this long to come up with an opening post. >_<

[DanielofRedwall]

OOC: I intended to close this at the end of the Extravaganza, but I can keep it open a bit longer and judge only from before this post if y'all want?

[Verdauga]

OOC: That's fine for me (Obviously waiting for the others to post.)

[Kade Rivok]

OOC: Fine for me as well.  It only feels like we're just getting started 

IC:
Kadette looked at Verdauga in surprise.  "Food?  Why, we've already eaten breakfast!  Though..." He paused, looking over the ramparts at the pair of troublemakers.  "If you want, Verdauga, we could probably catch one of them and cook 'em up!  They'd probably make I nice snack, at least."  He said, a playful grin on his weathered features.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Teer's head popped up over the rampart to the side of where the otterbadgermother was standing, the taniwha's grin broadening as she leapt to the walkway and dashed off.
"Yeah, cook me! It's save having to do all those dishes."
Arrow zipped through the air and hit the young beast, bouncing harmlessly off her scales as she looked out of the abbey, alarmed to see the ditch teaming with vermin.
"Everybeast get down!"
Turning, Teer raced back to the otterbadgermother, knocking her flat just in time as another arrow zipped overhead.

OOC: Just thought I might add a bit of drama here. If anybeast objects, I can edit my post.

[Verdauga]

OOC: I'll edit my post as well, but for now I'm going with it

BIC: Verdauga glanced at the vermin horde, holding to character and saying, "Och, will these braw buckoes nevah leave us alone?" His charade ended when an arrow flew startlingly close to him.
"On second thought, I think I'll get some weapons. Attack!"

[shisteer of nothing much]

Teer shook her head, laughing at the squirrel's antics despite herself.
"Much as I'd like to mash them and give 'em to the Friar for a pastie, I think we should let the elders decide what's going to happen. Let's go get the dibbuns inside."

[Verdauga]

{It was more like I was calling attention to the fact that we are under attack, but okay.  }

Verdauga ducked an arrow before eyeing Teer. "I might need to get some scales myself." Glancing down at Booklover, he flashed a demented grin at Shisteer before jumping off the wall, calling "I'll get this one!" as he fell.

[Ebantu the Kararehe]

  Ebantu swung over the ramparts just as the first arrow struck Shisteer. She glanced it, lying on the walkway, and ran for the Abbey. "I'll be back momentarily!" she shouted, not waiting to check if anybeast had heard her.

[shisteer of nothing much]

Teer flew to the ground, then ran as fast as she could towards the beasts at the pond, scooping up three of them without even checking to see who she'd grabbed before running into Great Hall.
"Vermin surrounding the Abbey!"

[One-Eye the wildcat]

One-Eye was sleeping peacefully. At least, until an arrow landed on the rock he was on and caused an awful noise. He got up, and another arrow zipped over the ramparts. "Oh dear." said One-Eye, before running into the abbey to retrieve his combat gear.
