Redwall Abbey entry

I won't be doing a character list because there were so many people. Sorry.

Lorimis turns and looks up at the sun and smiles and raises a hand and at this pre-arranged signal the Methuselah bell tolls followed by the Matthias and as the golden song of the bells of Redwall peals out over the abbey the Abbot moves toward his table, gesturing for people to take their places.

Leon comes out of the gatehouse and looks to see where everyone is.

Zork grins and goes to sit down at the table, he looks around hoping to see his friend and then grins more when he sees his beaver friend and waves as the beaver goes to sit elsewhere.

Zinnia arrives a little late but is still here and goes to find a chair and sit down.

DoraRose is in a deep blue dress with gold embroidery and a forest green cloak. After making sure that the hood is up over her ears, she joins her husband and gives him a hug. LilyMoore and Caleb come running over and join their parents Angela comes stumping out of the Abbey in an outfit that matches her granddaughters'.

Lorimis smiles at everyone, "I would like to start by saying quite simply that todays feast is to welcome the Autumn and to give thanks to Zork and his crew for rebuilding our gates. And so... I will not give my traditional speech and rather hand over to Zork." he grins at the badger, "The honour of naming this season for our abbey chronicle goes to you Zork... speech time," and with that the Abbot sits back down.

Leon listens as the abbot speaks now, he blinks at what the abbot says, well thats different.

Zork blinks ,"Uhhhh...speech? Me...I errr...well" Ok he clearly wasn't ready for any speeches as he looks at the abbot and then to all the beasts watching him now, "Ummm...well de gates are rebuilt and they be stronger than ever before. And strong gates be important, very important. And the naming of the season is as well." Zork is clearly trying to think of a good season name also as he speaks after a short pause, "It is also good we are all here today, and we will remember those no longer here, as for the name of this season...well"

Zinnia tilts her head as she listens and watches Zork speak.

Among the many in the captive audience is a grey furred ferret in a green cloth dress and a brown cloth vest. Meesha the ferret cant exactly wear her usual clothing with out attracting attention. Animal furs tend to do that around peacefull beasts. the way her pot belly portrudes under her vest however does make Messha a bit self conscious. The young ferret sits alone near the back drumming her claws against the table.

DoraRose raises an eyebrow at what the Abbot does, then smiles kindly and patiently at the badger, hoping he has some confidence in himself and his abilities. LilyMoore starts to fidget, and she and Caleb look bored out of their minds. Angela quietly taps the end of her staff on the ground as she listens.

Leon only listens and shrugs as a novice whispers something to him, he looks to Caleb and Lilymoore.

Lorimis smiles at Zork and settles down in his chair, watching and smiling, waiting for Zork to finish, it is quite nice not to be giving the speech for once.

Zork speaks again after another short pose, yeah he never wants to give a speech again or least with a like seconds of a warning. " Well like said good ta have friends, if not for friends I probally wouldn't...well be ere', they did help me threw a lot this past season...which I thank you for, the help and...oh yeah season name...season name" He then smiles at an idea "I once read dis one word...somewhere ment gates or doors, it was portals...so de name be...Autumn of Portals...cause of de new gates and opening of others doors as well that not really like doors ta walk threw more doors in life...like me becoming a Brother in de order and also ta new members of de abbey." He looks to Lorimis now, seems he is done, least he hopes he is as he has nothing really to add to this.

Zinnia smiles as she listens to Zork finish his speech.

Trying to stay on the edge of the crowd Ilari watches the comings and goings of the feast, looking for something specific but on not seeing it the mouse breathes a great sigh of relief and starts to pay attention to the speech that is going on. Once the badger finish his speech Ilari looks down to the book that he carries, it appears to be open to a pair of blank pages.

Oz has been with a group of dibbuns, having quietly walked in, with the dibbuns right as the speech had started and the dibbuns have remained very quiet. One eyebrow does arch as it's Zork not Lorimis doing a speech but he still listens and still keeps the dibbuns quiet.

LilyMoore looks at the sky, as if to say, 'finally!' DoraRose smiles, too, and Angela gives a couple of claps, glaring at some Novices who look at her. They nervously clap, too.

Lorimis smiles at Oz and stands back up, "You heard Zork's words, be welcome all to the Autumn of Portals, now raise your glass and join me!" he lifts his tankard up, "This is to Zork and his team...for our gates!"

Leon smiles and goes to stand up and rise his glass.

Zork smiles as he stays where he is for now and looks happy now but now silent.

Zinnia smiles, she also rises a glass to Zork and the new season name.

With his mind on the seemingly blank pages Ilari quickly looses track of what's going on around the feast and looks up rather quickly when Lorimis starts to speak, dropping his book in the process and then bending down to retrieve it, least it get trampled on, though with how scratched and dog eared the cover is it looks like it wouldn't be anything that had not already happened to it.

Oz smiles when the speech finishes and nods as he rises his own glass.

DoraRose and Angela raise their glasses, although the old healer remains seated, and the twins quickly join them, all joining the Abbot in his toast.

Lorimis finishes his toast and with a smile sits back down, "Dig in everyone, let's not let this all go to waste, Benar would you?" the Elder nods and moves over to the large bonfire stacked up in the centre of the hexagon of tables everyone is seated at. He takes a torch, touches it to the fire and with a WHOOOMF! it ignites!

Leon smiles, he gets some food for his two dibbuns before he gets some for himself.

Oz makes sure the dibbuns are well behaved and a couple novice help teh dibbuns gets soem food and drink, Oz gets his own foo and some mint tea before sitting back down by the dibbuns and smiles.

Zork waits till some others get their food and then gets some soup, some pie, a couple pastys and some October Ale and sits down where he was sitting before.

Zinnia gets some salad and soup for herself and cherry coridal as she smiles and sits down, she starts to talk to a novice and chuckles at maybe a joke mentioned.

Standing back up clutching at his book Ilari quickly grabs the first container he can find, a tankard of october ale, which he raises then takes a drink from then immediately starts to sputter and sets the tankard back down and starts to look rather ill. Looking down at his foot paws Ilari wiggles his jaw around, trying to get the taste of the ale gone before it makes him feel any worse.

DoraRose gets the twins drinks, then gets some for food for her grandmother, who seem sot be havign trouble walking today. Then, getting a huge, heaping platter of food and tucks in. Eventually, she'll take the twins off to bed.

Lorimis smiles, digging into the food before him as Benar returns to the table and takes a drink for himself, the two chatting away and to others as they dig into their food.

I had to leave now :( Thanks for reading! :D
