A frog and a stuck snake and a fox what entered without knocking and...
Berilo the frog (yes, that's right, I said a FROG). Blisa the cat and Ferdinand the ferret. Aiden the fox. Basilisk the whiptail snake.
Berilo is for sure curious of everything around him and its raining. Yes he is a frog but sometimes there can be too much rain as he manages to get inside an open window and looks around shakeing rain off.
Blisa was sitting by the fire, reading, when she heard a *thump*. Looking behind her, she takes a full 3 seconds to register that there's a frog in the house, then she hollers, "Ferdinand! There's a frog in here! Why is it in my house?!" Ferdinand comes dashing out of the bedroom, takes one look at the amphibian, draws his sabre, and trips in a beautiful fashion, somehow managing to stay on his feet. "You! Why....how did you get in here?"
The door to the chieftan's house opens to admit a red fox decked out in garb that instantly identifies him as the head of the Ferravale guard, though the moment he notices the frog, his sword also makes a hissing sound as it draws from its scabbard, being held in both of his paws.
Berilo eeps and runs around the room and then does something cool, he climbs the wall and up tp the celling and looks down at them. In the process all the stuff in his pack falls out, a couple apples, a pear, a couple toy balls and a stuff umm...umm...well its a stuffed toy of some sort!
Ferdinand watches in slight awe as the froggy literally goes climbing the wall, then he yelps and dodges the falling things. Blisa, getting over her shock at seeing a frog in her living room and her irritation at being interrupted while reading, hops up and starts tossing the fallen stuff up onto a chair saying, "Oh, Ferdy, he's scared, don't hurt him! It's okay, Frog, I won't hurt you! I'm sorry; you just startled me. And you!" She now points an accusing paw at the fox. "Who are you and what makes you think you can just barge into my house with knocking?! How DARE you?"
The fox is rather confused at the sudden outburst from Blisa, but he quickly sheaths his longsword, coughing politely and standing up straight, now looking rather regal in his stance. "Oh, uh...sorry marm...I came lookin' fer Scioto...my apologies."
Deep below in the basement a creature stirs. Its long sleek body begins to uncurl itself, its ever open eyes shine in the low light. They narrow at the sounds coming up from above.
Berilo just looks at the other creatures and shakes his head "Me not coming down to the furrys...nope Berilo is not"
Blisa just sticks out her little chin defiantly, glaring at the fox with hard green eyes, her white fur poufing out slightly. "And what makes you think Daddy would want to see you at all? And how'd you get that uniform?" Ferdinand the ferret, being more up-to-date about guard things (being the now-enraged kitten's bodyguard), swallows a little and smiles at the fox, then looks up at the frog and blinks his strange gold eyes. "Um...thorry for threatening to kill you."
Aiden doesn't really know how to react to this angry kitten, but he does try to think of what he could say. "Uh...well I'm actually the head of the guard, and I was just coming to report to him.." He doesn't seem to be angry, but instead seems to feel rather guilty about 'barging' in on Blisa.
Scales of death, dismay and destruction are silent upon the stairs leading up into the kitchen from the basement. A large green scaled head pokes its snout against the door, forcing it open with the smallest creak. There are voices, yes, Basilisk can hear them but they are around the corner. In the creatures mind ALL are prey...some are merely prey that feed and take care of him which will be eaten later at an unspecified date. The snake begins to slither out into the kitchen. It crosses into view of the living room and rears to its full height which is nearly against the ceiling, "Who...daressss disssturb Bas..." The snake pauses then looks behind to where the middle of its body has become wedged in the door frame. Prehaps it could stand to do with less prey...
Berilo eyes bug out at the snake and he quickly moves to the other side of the room, still way up high also and whimpers as his little throat goes in and out. He tries to go flat into a corner, yes he is just a stain, no worries about a stain.
Ferdinand looks in the direction the frog is looking....and sighs, covering his eyes with a paw. Great. Now the stupid snake has joined the party. Awesome. This is exactly the kind of day the ferret was wanting. Blisa ignores the reptile and the amphibian and instead ponders what the fox just said. "Oh....I hadn't heard that we had a new head guard. I apologize. But do please knock next time, alright? Thank you." She's still a little ticked off.
The fox nods politely. "I do truly apologize marm, but I hadn't realized th' chief had a daughter, much less one as lovely as yerself." He gives a small smile, hoping he could possibly restore relations with this kitten, though doing that usually wasn't difficult with dibbuns. Still, one never knows what one might encounter in dibbuns. "But it's pleasing t' meet ye miss. My name is Aiden." Again, he nods, though more of his upper body goes into it so it looks more like a half bow than a nod.
The vicious beast eating snake pulls on his tail, trying to squeeze his body through the door. The frame of the door however cuts deeply into his soft, fattened scales. He is stuck fast, "GAH! Blisssa! The door won't let go!" he shouts
Berilo stays quiet, he also finds out sweat is not good and doesn't help him to stick to the celling very well, he gasps as he crashes, luckily onto a pile of soft washed blankets and sheets. He frowns and now looks at all the others.
Blisa whips around and glares at the whiptail snake, then grumpily snarls, "Don't mess up the doorframe! And maybe if you'd go on the diet I've been trying to make you do, we wouldn't BE in this mess, now would we?!" Ferdinand sighs and sits down on a chair, then turns and puts a finger to his lips and covers the frog up with a used-to-be-clean sheet, whispering, "Tho the thnake doethn't thee you."
Aiden watches the frog hit the blankets and then subsequently get covered by Ferdinand, and then there's the entry of the snake. This is one weird house to him, but he supposed it was rather wise if he didn't comment too much on it. Speaking of that...maybe it was best he just didn't speak at all, or maybe he should leave for the moment.
Indeed the snake hasn't seen the frog, yet. He is still struggling to move out of the door. "Well...maybe if you let Basssilissk out side...Basssil wouldn't need a diet!" The fat snake pauses, realizing that he had called himself Basil. He begins to whimper. It's finely happened...not only is he too fat to fit through the door he has become...domesticated...
Berilo is quiet, well he can breath still and has a tiny little peep hole to peer out of.
Blisa stomps her foot....a bit undignified for a cat of her quite mature 5 seasons. "If you went outside, everybeast in Ferravale'd kill you....although with the number of beasts barging in here without bothering to knock, I'm surprised the whole stinking village doesn't know about you!" This is directed at the intruding fox and frog. Ferdinand grunts in agreement, then sighs and gets up, headed to the now-blocked kitchen door. "I know how to get you unthtuck. Crouch down tho I can go over you."
Eyes wide, Aiden slowly reaches back for the door, thinking it would certainly be best if he simply left all of this madness. Evidently, now really isn't the best time to be in here, and besides, he could always say he has..guardly things to ah...attend to...
Berilo is well, he is quiet, but listening. He is a dibbun so he is a little confused and scared also.
The snake lowers himself both to help the ferret out and to whimper in shame, "I'm doomed...there is no hope...DOOOMED!" he hisses. He had tears he would shed them.
Ferdinand scowls as he steps on the snake's head. "Oh, be quiet. You'll be fine." He escapes into the kitchen then pokes his head back out and says, "Thir Aiden, would you mind helping me?" Blisa frowns and crosses her arms in stoic silence.
Aiden had been just about to exit, but Ferdinand's call for his help catches him, and he walks over towards Ferdinand and Basil, which, after observation, really didn't seem to be that harmful. "Wot d'ye need help wid, sir?" He asks politely, his stance rather tall, though it doesn't look like he is forcing it to be that way.
"Foolissssh Mortalssss. I care not about being ssstuck here...It'sss...it'sss mai dignity..." The snake bemoans his fate, "Im not a sssnake...I'm a pet. A wonderfully over fed pet..." Basilisk moans.
Ferdinand starts to grin wickedly. "Tho I can jutht leave you in the doorway? I could live with that." Blisa giggles slightly at the reptile's dismay, in too poor of a mood to want to be nice.
Aiden simply looks down at the sad snake. "As could I...besides, I'm sure he could get outta there eventually, right?" He flashes a small smile to Ferdinand, trying more to lighten his own mood than anything else.
The snake looks cross with them all, raising his head slightly he states, "Of courssse you know thisss meansss i musst dessstroy you all." He wriggles his bloated body some. Nope, still stuck
Ferdinand hands the fox a bottle of oil and hefts a crock of butter. "Yeah, you keep thaying that, but nothing ever happens. But the oil on hith other thide. It'll make him thlick and thlippery." The ferret starts smearing butter on the reptile's left side.
Aiden leans down, pouring oil on the reptile's right side and rubbing it in so that Basil can wiggle his way out of this interesting situation.
Basil wishes he had hands to hide under to hide from the shame he is feeling. He will eat the ferret eventually...if his cooking wasn't so darn good. and frankly he doesn't know if he can survive out in the woods. He also begins to chuckle, "Ssstop That ticklesss!" Snake laughter is composed of short crisp hisses, it also shows off the whiptails arm long non venomous fangs.
Ferdinand is enjoying causing the snake some minor discomfort, and he spreads more butter than necessary just to tickle him. Blisa comes up and watches, ignoring the fangs and looking oh-so superior without meaning to.
Aiden simply stands back up, setting the bottle of oil off to the side when he finishes oiling the snake's side. He is simply weary of this house, and he would much rather get back outside, where his clothing alone can usually instill respect into most beasts.
The snake is now properly lathered and oiled. Let the cooking begin! The snake says in his own mind. Even worse than a pet that would be...cattle...then again they have fed him up nice and proper. Don't let him outside, and he's grown too fat to move through the door here...he shrugs off the thought and begins to pull himself free, slowly, inch by inch until his large belly has cleared the door. He shoots out with a pop, smashing his head through a cabinet door. "ow..."
Blisa meeps and dodges out of the way, landing on the floor on her stomach in a most ungraceful way. Ferdinand wails as the snakes breaks yet another thing in the house, and he snaps. "This, I'm going to have to athk you to leave. Good day." He goes to herd the fox out the door, then resists the urge to weep from frustration. More clean-up. He doesn't get paid enough...
Aiden doesn't need much herding to be heading straight out the door. He most certainly has had about enough of this place, and the streets are more...normal than this place.
Thanks for reading! :)
