RP: Trouble on the Horizon

[Skalrag of Marshank]

That squirrel's really something, Rooke thought to himself as he spooned himself more hotroot soup, singing like a lark one second an' stuffin' vittles down 'er gob the next...

[Nightfire]

Zara chuckled at Rooke's bewilderment. "All northern warriors kin fight, sing, an' eat like no other." She said casually as she quickly packed away a cherry tart into her mouth.

OOC: When's the feast ending? It's up to you guys.

[Icefire]

OOC: I have an idea about how to wrap it up if you're all ready, but would someone please answer my question first?

[Skalrag of Marshank]

OOC: What question?

IC: Rooke glanced at a steaming plate of strawberry scones.

"Think I can make room fer desert," he muttered to himself before charging headlong to the deserts table.

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

OOC: Zae when iz the horde goin' tae make itz appearanze?

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

Rainan stood up on the table. "To say that this feast is a dream would be an insult to the cook. This feast is beyond words!" and, finishing his speech, he then dived headfirst into a giant bowl of salad.

OOC: Excuze the accidental double pozt.

[Nightfire]

OOC: What do you mean by "when is the horde going to make its appearence?"
It already appeared, HiaG. Nightfire was knocked unconcious, remember? BIC:
The black squirrel sat back in her chair. "I'm finished. Now, would any o' ye mind if I asked for a tour o' the abbey? I'd like to know it's defenses so I can help ye better."

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

OOC: Pozted tha' in the wrong thread. Whoopz...

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

The abbess smiled and pulled Rainan out of the salad. The little owl had a leaf of lettuce on his head like a hat, and a tomato sticking out of his mouth, which he quickly finished. "Can I come on the tour too?" he asked the abbess.

OOC: Onze again ah zomeha' accidentally double pozted again. Again, whoopz.

[Icefire]

OOC: Hiag, I give you the wiggly finger of shame! 

BIC: Meryoran looked at Rainan with a smile and started shaking her finger at him saying, "Isn't it a few hours past your bedtime?"
The abbess interceded on Rainan's behalf, "It's a feast night! And besides we may need him to remind us what we need to show Nightfire! He can come along with us."
Suddenly, all the dibbuns (whom Meryoran and Sister Willow had been trying to gather up to go to bed) started adding their pleas.
"I know lotsa places to go! Can I come please, please, please?"
"I gurtly strong. I protect you if'n them varmints bes a comin' back!"

[Nightfire]

Nightfire chuckled as she watched the abbess floudering to deal with the dibbuns. She suddenly whipped out her dirk, pointing at the dormitory stairs, shouting urgently. "I need ye all to stand watch up there! Those vermin could be back at any second, and we need a good watch!" Whooping with delight, the mass of dibbuns dashed up to the dormitories. The abbess looked bewildered. "How did you do that? They never listen to us like that!"
Nightfire chuckled. "I know how young 'uns think. I was one myself, once, ye know. Now, let's go on this tour."

[Skalrag of Marshank]

Rooke rose from the plate of scones, licking crumbs from his whiskers.

"Suppose I'd better come along, too. Wouldn't want ya gettin' in ta trouble, now, would we?"

[Nightfire]

Nightfire laughed, a strong, ringing tone that echoes through Great Hall. "If ye insist, mate! Zara, ye kin help Ambriya keep the band out o' the way. An' keep the squirrel kits with their mothers! I don't need them getting lost again."
Zara mockingly did an elegant curtsy, then turned around and left with the other squirrels.
Nightfire turned back to the abbess. "They'll go camp out on the lawn now. It's been a long hard day o' marchin', then fightin' vermin at the end."

[Skalrag of Marshank]

"Wouldn't it be a bit dangerous to camp outside with vermin around?" Abbess Violet asked worriedly.

Rooke put his paw around the Abbess' shoulder. "Ah,  they'll be fine. They're Northlanders, remember?"

[Nightfire]

Nightfire reassured Abbess Violet. "Besides, we can defend ye're abbey a lot better from there. Well, Abbess, show me the layout."

OOC: Can someone else take charge of the tour? Except for the Cellars, Great Hall, the Belltower, and the orchard and pond, I don't really know the abbey that well.
