Autumn Harvest RP Thread Part Two.

[Jukka the Sling]

Ambrosine tossed her braid off her shoulder, trying to look confident. "Sure."

In reality she was frightened by the very idea, but there was nothing she could do.

[Cornflower MM]

"It's really quite easy. Just don't look down, and keep your eyes and nose pointed where you're aiming for." Enthal coached, then grinned. "Alright, it's your turn first!"

[Jukka the Sling]

Taking a deep breath, Ambrosine steeled herself, ran onto the branch and jumped into space. Just in time, her paws grabbed a limb on the next tree. She swung onto a branch just below the one she'd grabbed and stood there, trembing slightly. "Okay, well, that was a bit scary."

Then, from her perch in the tree, she spotted Greena and several vermin following their trail. "Enthal! Look!" she hissed urgently, jerking her paw in the direction of the enemy.

OOC: Is that alright, Cornflower?

[Cornflower MM]

OOC: Quite alright. I was planning for Enthal to spot them when she was that tree with Ambrosine, anyways.

BIC: Enthal looked, then turned back, her expression grim. "Ambrosine, keeping going, and don't look behind you. Don't worry; I'll be right behind you. I'm not suicidal." She said, then jumped the gap.

[BlueRose]

Abbess Lavender nodded her approval, then turned to Aoi, "Aoi, I think that you should be at the head of the party. Goodness knows they could use someone like you in the strawberry picking party. Although I've no idea why Remen wants to go into the woods to get the berries;' We have a patch that's producing quite well in the Abbey walls." She confided, flashing a quick grin at the young squirrelmaid.

Aoi backed away from the Abbess, shaking her head slightly. "No thanks, Mother Abbess. There doesn't seem to be many fighting beasts within the walls right now. It'd be safest to just send one creature, that way a lower profile is kept."

[Jukka the Sling]

Ambrosine swallowed hard and forced herself to leap to the next tree. It was quite terrifying, because she nearly missed her pawhold, but she made it. Without pausing for breath, she jumped to the next tree. And the next. It became a rhythm of run, jump, grab, swing. And then doing it all over again.

Somehow, she actually began to enjoy it after the initial few minutes of terror. As the mousemaid began to get the hang of it, it was quite exhilarating, flying through the trees like that. Gives a new meaning to the term "treemouse", she thought humorously, knowing that some beasts referred to squirrels as such. She hoped Enthal was alright, as she hadn't even paused to check behind her.

Ambrosine realized suddenly that she was now passing through the midst of the horde. Fortunately the trees were fairly close together, and nobeast seemed to notice the branches shaking. She kept going.

[Lenda]

After wavering on the windowsill for a minute, Dropear clambered falteringly into the Infirmary, where she stood straining to better see her strange surroundings. A faint aroma wafted up from the kitchens far below, causing the cave bat's head to lift a little higher. Encouraged slightly, she began feeling and fumbling her way gingerly across the Infirmary floor, managing to encounter the wall and follow along it's length for a while.

[Gnoflet]

Abbess Lavender nodded her approval, then turned to Aoi, "Aoi, I think that you should be at the head of the party. Goodness knows they could use someone like you in the strawberry picking party. Although I've no idea why Remen wants to go into the woods to get the berries;' We have a patch that's producing quite well in the Abbey walls." She confided, flashing a quick grin at the young squirrelmaid.

Aoi backed away from the Abbess, shaking her head slightly. "No thanks, Mother Abbess. There doesn't seem to be many fighting beasts within the walls right now. It'd be safest to just send one creature, that way a lower profile is kept."

"I'll go," Remen said. "I'm the one who suggested it in the first place. I also thought I might find skipper's otters. They could help."

[BlueRose]

Deciding that sending two creatures after strawberries wouldn't hurt, Aoi nods at Remen before bowing respectfully to the Abbess and walking out into the orchard, unable to stay still in one place for too long.

[Cornflower MM]

Lavender smiled at the young creatures, then went back to her task at paw.
------------.----------------.--------------------.
Enthal gritted her teeth when Ambrosine first started and missed her paw hold, but sighed in relief when she didn't fall. She was right behind the mouse the whole time, and almost kicked a rat in the head, but no one noticed, and she continued.

[Iamthatis]

" After awhile Shadowclaw heard Aoi speaking. Hello friend how are you doing. The he turned to face the abbess and bows. Hello marm.

[Cornflower MM]

"Hello, Shadow law." Lavender replied, kneading another kumo of scone dough, that was almost as big as she was.

[Iamthatis]

" Shadowclaw then asked. Is there anything around that you need help with."

[Cornflower MM]

No, but thank you!" Rosemary replied, then the plump mouse pulled too energetically in the dough, and fell over backwards with it on top of her. "Help" She squeaked, waving her arms.

[Lenda]

Dropear's claw met with the edge of a table, and she paused, feeling gingerly along it for the end and only too late noticing the small bump as something was shoved across the sur--

CLATTER.

The bat screeched briefly as the basin clanged to the floor, and froze in place, heart pounding rapidly. Was the noise going to alert whatever was dwelling here? What if there were more things like that waiting to make more loud and unfamiliar noises? She wasn't quite so sure anymore she liked wherever she had ended up... Hesitantly, Dropear turned her head, straining to find the way she'd come through against the blinding sun rays.
