Hidden Within the Walls RP thread

[rachel25]

Cien didn't here her, he was still screaming at the paper. Then suddenly he fell bent over double on the floor groaning, his wounds were hurting, it felt like they'd all opened up again, and someone had thrown sea water all over him, again. But the one that hurt the most, was the brand on his chest.
"The Weeping Skull! The Weeping Skull!" Cien groaned, he couldn't breathe. He gulped down air, but he couldn't get enough air into his lungs.

Pain. Pain, that was all he could think of. He couldn't see for the blindfold over his eyes.
There was a bloody stump where one of his ears used to be. All he could feel was fiery pain. Someone threw a bucket off water over him, sea water. It made it all worse. Cien cried out in pain, and he could hear jeering.
"Not the terror of the sea we were expecting!" Someone called.

"FIREWAVE!!!!" Cien found himself screaming the name.
--------------------------------------------
Sister Lupine gently cared for Bryant, she was furious. That Cien. He needs to be taught a lesson. The Abbess won't do anything much, she just feels sorry for him. He just hit a maid! Oh, I'll find a way to get him, I will.

[Cornflower MM]

Bryant;s ears where quite sharp. "Do you hear someone screaming? I do. Then again, my ears are sharper than most."

---------------------------------------------

Snap out of it, Cien! You're at Redwall Abbey, and Firewave, whoever that is, isn't here! Come on, you're coming with me by hook or by crook, even if it kills me." Saying that, Bryony started lifting him up. It was useless. She was strong, but that strong. "No more hotroot soup for you, fatty. I'll be right back." Leaving Cien, although she hated too, she ran to the Infirmary. "Sister Flupit! Cien's on his room's floor, screaming. I can't lift him up!"

[rachel25]

Cien found himself groping around on the floor, trying to get up. He reached a wall, and pulled himself into a sitting position, he was still screaming the name, "FIREWAVE! SCARLET WHERE ARE YOU! FIREWAVE!"

Fire, everywhere, screaming, groaning. Cien had a sword in his paws. He was covered in blood, a lot of it, not his own. The captain of the Weeping Skull was hanging from the mast. His noose his own gutts. Cien laughed at his own handy work.
"That'll teach you to mess with a Seashadow!"
A rat came running screaming out of a burning cabin, Cien slashed him in half with his sword. Slaves down in the slave hold were screaming as the flames closed in.
Cien battled his way to the edge of the ship, there she was. Autumn Fair, being sailed by some more vermin coming to see what had happened to their flag ship. Cien launched himself on board as soon as he was close enough. He left no one alive.   
---------------------------------
Sister Flupit's eyes grew wide. "Oh no! Not again! This hasn't happened in at least a season! We must get to him before he hurts himself!"
--------------------------------
Cien had a dagger in his paws. Fighting away enemies that only lived in his mind. Still screaming, "FIREWAVE! SCARLET COME OUT! IT'S TIME TO AVENGE THEM ALL! FIREWAVE, CALL UP THE BLOOD SIRENS! FIREWAVE!!!!"

[Cornflower MM]

Bryant said, "Well, I guess I better come too. Hey, where'd everyone go?" He stood up, walked outside the room, and put his ear to the floor. That way! He set off, occasionally putting his ear to the floor.

[rachel25]

Sister Flupit hurried after them calling, "Be careful! Oh Bryant do be careful, your arms still wounded! I better go get some help. I'll go get Skipper!"
------------------------
Cien had destroyed what was left of his room, but now he had begun to cut himself. He used the dagger to cut open his arm, and dipped his claws into the blood. "Firewave must come. It's time for battle, she must come."

[Cornflower MM]

"Me and Bryant will make sure he doesn't hurt himself too badly!! Bryant, listen too my footsteps and the screaming!!" Bryony shouted over her shoulder, running hard and fast. "Oh, nuts...He's already sliced open his arm!" She groaned, as Bryant came in the room. "So what exactly is up with him, Sis?" Bryant asked, an idea forming in his mind. "I don't really know. You have an idea, don't you?" Yes. I pretend I'm Firewave, whoever the nuts that is, and you get his knife!" "Alright, but if I hear you saying that again I'm boxing your ear. "Hey! You said it first. Anyway, what's his name?" Cien." Alright. CIEN! I've come. You dare to ask me to battle?"

[rachel25]

Cien was still cutting his arm, deeper each time. When he heard someone claiming to be Firewave, he looked up, his eyes blazing.
There she stood in front of him. "Alright. CIEN! I've come. You dare to ask me to battle?"
He couldn't understand that, this wasn't Scarlet. "Where's Scarlet? What have you done to her vermin! Has she been slain like the others?" Not waiting for an answer, Cien without needing to take aim threw the dagger.
--------------------------------
Sister Flupit, had hurried into Great Hall, not wanting to attract attention, she calmly walked up to Skipper. She didn't want everyone to know what was happening, not everybody knew about Cien's..."condition."
Skipper nodded, and whispered to a couple of his otter crew to come, and help him. He'd dealt with Cien before, and knew that there was something seriously wrong with his mind.

[Cornflower MM]

Bryony duccked, but the blade still cut off half her ear. "OW! YOU STUPID OTTER! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU?" Bryony screamed at him. Then she fainted dead away on the floor.

-----------------------

Bryant shook his head ewhen Bryony fainted: Now he'd have to deal with Mr. Grumpy on his own! He decided to try a different tactic. "Scarlet's fine, just fiiiine. Now, just lay down now, and try to lay still...Come on, big fellow....Scarlet's fine, but I do believe you chopped off half Bryony's ear, when you threw that knife of yours.... Easy now...." Bryant said, trying to get him to calm down by sweet-talking him. Hey, it had worked before, when he had seen a mouse do this....Just the mouse didn't freak out so bad. "Easy now, ya big Otter. Firewave's gone for now. You're in Redwall Abbey, and you're going to be just fine, so long as you don't find that knife again...

Easy now, Easy now.
It's fine, Just fine.
You're gonna be Alright. You're gonna be Alright..." Bryant said, singing in the end. Where was that Healer? He couldn't keep this up for much longer!

[rachel25]

Cien was breathing hard, all was red, the beast who had pretended to be Scarlet had collapsed. But then he heard a voice, "Scarlet's fine, just fiiiine. Now, just lay down now, and try to lay still...Come on, big fellow....Scarlet's fine, but I do believe you chopped off half Bryony's ear, when you threw that knife of yours.... Easy now..."
What was this, was Scarlet really ok?

"Easy now, ya big Otter. Firewave's gone for now. You're in Redwall Abbey, and you're going to be just fine, so long as you don't find that knife again...

Easy now, Easy now.
It's fine, Just fine.
You're gonna be Alright. You're gonna be Alright..."

"Where is she?!?" Cien demanded, "Where's Scarlet!?!"
------------------------------------
Sister Flupit, Skipper, and two of his otter Crew, hurried up to Cien's room.
"Is Cien on his own?" Skipper asked.
"No, Bryony, and that new squirrel Bryant, have gone to try calm him down." Sister Flupit replied.
Skipper looked grim, "Then, we better get there even faster."
They now began to run, Skipper reached the door first, or where the door used to be. He hurried into the room, his two otters behind him.
-------------------------
Cien had begun to calm down, but then someone else came into the room, Cien panicked, and threw half a broken glass at the new arrivals.
-------------------------
Skipper ducked the broken glass, but knew he had to act now. "Cien you need to calm down now!" He ordered.
--------------------------
Cien growled, and threw himself at Skipper, knocking him to the ground, and began to hit him.
----------------------------
Skipper couldn't get Cien off, even though he was much older, he wasn't as strong as him when he was like this. But it was alright, his two otter's dragged Cien off him, and pinned him to the ground.
-------------------------
Cien screamed at them, and managed to kick one, and hit the other with his rudder.
------------------------------------
Skipper stood up, his nose was bleed as was a cut one his cheek, but apart from that he was fine.

OOC: The Abbess can't really do anything at the moment. Never fear, I haven't forgotten about this RP though!

[rachel25]

OOC: That's ok, and thanks, now where's Cornflower. 

[Cornflower MM]

OOC: Sorry, had to do Christmas stuff. All good now for awhile.

BIC: Bryant walked up to the bigger otter and said, "Hey! I almost got him calmed down. Let me try again." He walked over to Cien. "Scarlet's coming to the Abbey, OK? I'm sure she'll be here soon. How about you calm down for her, OK?" He started singing again.

"Easy now, Easy now
It's Alright, it's Alright.
You're gonna be fine. You're gonna be fine.
It's all gonna go away soon, and it's gonna be fine..." He kept singing that over and over, since it had started to work last time. He paused for a moment, "Can you take a look at Bryony? I think he chopped off her ear."

[rachel25]

"What!" Sister Flupit, exclaimed as she came into the room.
----------------
Cien was still having a hard time calming down. Someone had said Scarlet was coming, that almost scared Cien half to death. "She mustn't come," he groaned, he was beginning to black out, "They'll find her. Then it's death again for everyone."
Then he blacked out.

OOC: Hey Cornflower! Your not dead!  oh, and I was wondering, if we could work something out over PMs, about how we could link Cien's, and Bryant, and Bryony's pasts?

[Cornflower MM]

OOC: Sounds good! I'll go PM you when I'm finished checking my RPs.

BIC: "Well, he's blacked out, does that mean that he'll be back to his....normal self? Whatever that is.... And yes, Mr. Crazy Otter here flung his knife at Bryony, and she ducked, but she wasn't fast enough, and well..." Bryant said, first gesturing at Cien, then at Bryony on the floor.

---------------------------------------

"Ow.....I'm going to kill that stupid otter......My ear hurts.." Bryony groaned, sitting up.

[Jukka the Sling]

OOC: I guess Abbess Fern might have heard a scuffle upstairs or something... (I really should make a 2nd character but I have no ideas)

BIC: Abbess Fern, having heard a commotion upstairs, slipped away quietly to investigate. When she reached Bryony, Flupit and the others, she was shocked. "What in the name of seasons has been going on here?!" She noticed Bryony had part of her ear taken off, and Cien was lying on the floor bleeding. "Have you two been fighting again?" she asked quickly, going to help Cien, who looked the most injured.
