A Dibbun Adventure

[Russa Nodrey]

Arnim jumped from bed to bed, moving the pillows out of the way so he could see underneath them.

[Hickory]

Aaron was now fully under the bed, his paw groping around for something. For a brief second, the paw rested on a metal object, then it continued its arc under the bed. Realizing he had found something, the otter tried to find it again, but he couldn't.

[Lady Ashenwyte]

Augustus had followed them into the dorms. He went into one bed, and started looking under the sheets.

[Skyblade]

"Wha' is it?" Star asked, swooping down to help Aaron but crashing into the bed. "Ouch."

[Hickory]

The otterbabe grumbled. "I fink I felt sometink unda dere, but I'm not sure."

[Skyblade]

Star looked around. "Ah probably can't get under dere if you can't. Everybeast! There's somethin' under da bed!"

[Wot, wot!]

"Wha is it, Star?" Bluebell asked, running into the dormitory. "Do you wan me to reach it for you?"

[Skyblade]

"Yes please, my friend!" Star yelled, flying upwards out of the way so Bluebell could get through.

[Wot, wot!]

"Ok!" Bluebell said as she crawled her way under the bed and grabbed the box in her tiny paws. She wiggled her way back, nearly hitting her head on the bed post. "Here ya go, friend."

[Skyblade]

"Ye okay? Thanks!" Star hopped forward as if she was a songbird rather than a falcon, approaching the object daintily. "Somebeast open it."

[Hickory]

OOC: Aaron's been opening to much stuff here, anybody fancy opening it?

[Cornflower MM]

OOC: Sure, just tell me one thing: What is ale finding?

[Hickory]

OOC: A box.

[Hickory]

Aaron opened the box and groaned. It was another riddle. He read it out.

You've traveled acoss
many a stone.
Yet more there is,
so do not groan!

A blind badger,
near my sword.
She sleeps on,
never to rise again.

Talk to the descendant,
the one with the pendant.
Go!
To Tussock, I say.

The Dibbuns stared in askance at each other, clueless. THen one, a shy haremaid named Pasque, spoke up. "H'excuse me, but my favver's favver and his favver beofre him all go by da name of Tussock. My great great great great grandsire was named Tammelo deFformelo... uh, Tussock. Yeah, Tussock. And my favver has a pendant, tho' I fink it's actually a medal. Maybe we should talk to him..."

[Skyblade]

"Well, then?" said Star, cocking her head and grinning as best as she could with a beak instead of a mouth, "Let's go tae him! Where he be?"
