RP: The War of the Ice Paws

[Galedeep]

Carl was getting frustrated, why were all these vermin around Redwall? He growled at the fox.

"What's your game vermin?" The Captain said. "A fox and a cat both in the same place, why shouldn't I expect an entire horde of your kind somewhere around?"

[Shinella]

Razz glared at him nonchalantly, "I'm not just any fox, water-dog, so don't judge! Why don't you start asking reality questions like, am I a real vermin, a true one, who is out for the blood of honest woodlanders."

[Nightfire]

Morena noticed Carl arguing with the fox. "Is there a problem?" he asked, leaning nonchalantly against Redwall's ash tree.

[Galedeep]

Carl ignored the wildcat, and looked up at his old friend, Bluestrype.

"Don't you think it's a little strange that these two show up at nearly the same time!?" The Captain roared. "I say we throw th..."

He got no further in his rant, because he was knocked unconscious. Dagen put down his heavy pack, and picked the unconscious Captain up.

"I Apologize for my Captain's behavior. Too many years fighting vermin does that to a beast..." Dagen said softly. He then dragged Carl Galedeep inside the abbey. The Crew of the Hotroot solemnly following.

[Nightfire]

Raio Rei was still gorging himself in the kitchens. 

Morena Seio walked towards the orchard, noticing a hedgehog working hard to water a row of plants. The cat knelt down next to them. "What seems to be the problem with these vegatable plants?"
The hedgehog grunted. "No matter 'ow much less or more water I gives 'em, they still wither an' die. This be my last row of 'em." Morena carefully inspected the leaves, noticing that they were yellowish and washed-out looking. He inspected the soil, then realized what was wrong. "The soil has no nutrition here where the plants are growing. It was drained by the previous season's crops." The hedgehog looked bemused. "Never did think of that. Harumph, supposed we'll just have to without squash until next year." Morena stood again. "You will not need to go without. I suggest fish." the hedgegog blinked. "Fish?"
He nodded. "I am a descendant of the blood of Gingivere the Wildcat. As you may know from the abbey records, Gingivere owned a farm. I was raised there, and learned much about caring for plants and growing things. Bury fish into the soil, and it will replenish the soil." He walked off towards the main abbey building, leaving behind a very bemused hedgehog.


OOC: I just needed something helpful for Morena to do so that the Redwallers would like him. 

[Shinella]

Razz grinned, "Gets that from fighting vermin, eh? Maybe that's where I got my temper..." she bit through her bonds quickly and walked towards the Abbey building, quickly sheathing her long rapiers, it was a peaceful place, war did not take place here often.

[Tiria Wildlough]

Tenija Wyteshaft was getting impatient. She banged a few more times on the door with her bow, and waited. When it seemed that nobeast was coming out, she threw back her head and yelled, 'AYREYELAAAAA!'
Finally, the gate was opened, and a badger poked her head out. 'What is it?' she asked bad temperedly. 'Another creature come to stay for the winter?'
Tenija smiled winningly. 'How did you guess, marm?'
'It's hard to explain. Come in. By the way, my name is Bluestrype.'

[Nightfire]

OOC:  That was hilarious, Tiria! 

[Shinella]

Razz spun around, her twin swords were suddenly at her side as she zoned in on the newcomer. Seeing a badger perfectly fine with the newcomer, Razz relaxed, putting her swords up, she snooped towards them, then was suddenly at their side, smiling winningly, "Good-day to ye, marms... scairt seen naught o' thes jollae ol' abbey, eh?'

[Tiria Wildlough]

OOC: You thought that was funny? Oh well...
BIC: Bluestrype turned to look at Razz. 'Razzin, this squirrel is called...oh, wait a minute, friend, I don't think I got your name.'
Tenija smiled loosely. 'I'm Tenija Wyteshaft, marm. I'm supposin' you've never seen a white squirrel afore?'
The badger nodded. 'I don't think so. I have seen black squirrels, but no white ones. It's quite remarkable.'

[Nightfire]

Raio Rei flew out of the abbey, having been chased out from the kitchencs by an angry friar. He spotted the small group by the gate, and he flew over. "Hello, I am Raio. Who is the whitewashed squirrel?"

OOC: Morena Seio is still waiting to see the abbess.

[Shinella]

Razz nodded, "Nice ta meetcha ah'm sure, lassie. Now.. any jolly vermin been seen round heyar lately?"

(Argh..! Sry guys.. i just can't talk like a vermin today.. =/ meh...)

[Tiria Wildlough]

Tenija looked sideways at Raio. 'Whitewashed squirrel? I don't see no whitewashed squirrel. What do you mean, Raio?'

[Nightfire]

Raio tucked his wings behind his back. "Arr, 'tis just a northern expression for an albino beastie. Meant nothin' by et! Sithee, this weather's goin' to be fair cold this winter! I hope I'll still be able to catch some fish. Mayhaps I'll need help breaking the ice, though..." His savage golden eye narrowed at them. "Say, why is the small fat friarbeast in the kitchens so violent? He chased me jest becoose I fed upon afternoon tea!!!"

[Shinella]

Razz snickered, "Take a lil' nibble at et, did je now?" she asked mockingly.
