Ferravale Chieftain's Home
Basilisk the snake. Blisa the cat and Ferdinand the ferret. Moonbeam the weasel.
It's been a very eventfull day for Basilisk. This morning the snake ate some cheesebread, then curled in front of the fire for several hours. And then layed there for several more. Truth be told the reptile is going start raving made at being trapped here by the cold. There is too much excitement to hibernate, and too little to keep his mind occupied. He's tempted to see if can eat the ferret body guard but has lost passion for even that. Basilisk sighs as he stares into the flames.
Blisa is stalking the snake. She has gotten bored out of her mind, and so has decided to be reckless and pounce on the snake. With literally silent footsteps, she sneaks up on him, then, with a great cry, pounces! Right on his head! RWAHR!
The snake makes a gasped hissing noise tries to flail the little kitten off of him, "GAH! Claws! Claws! Off off!" The snake will say this for domestication, his accent has improved considerably. He can even pronounce a few words with out the typical hissing noise.
Blisa resheaths her claws and just clings to the snake, giggling wickedly. "This is fun!!!" Unfortunately for the whiptail snake, Ferdinand has not exited the kitchen to see what's going on. If he had, he'd probably tell the kitten to get off.
"Thissss...isss not fun!" the snake takes off through the house with the kitten on his back. Despite his efforts to get the kitten off of him all he manages to do is give her a viper like roller coaster ride up and down the stairs and around the couch.
Finally, Ferdinand comes rushing out of the kitchen, flour on his paws. "Oi! Get offa him!" He shouts as he grabs Blisa by the scruff of her neck. They glare at each other, golden eyes versus green eyes, then th eferret sets the kitten down with a thump, points to the snake, and growls, "You need to apologithe." Blisa frowns and scuffs the floor with her foot, then asks, completely deadpan, "But isn't it lying to say you're sorry when you're really not?" Ferdinand facepalms. That's all. Because he knows that if he does anything else, he'll probably regret it.
The snake breaths in deeply and pants. This is probably the most exercise Basilisk has got since he moved in. "You have my thanksss ferret...your death will be postponed."
Ferdinand growls. "Thank you tho much. I'm touched." The ferret glares daggers at the kitten. "Jutht do it!" Blisa sighs and curtsies to the snake. "I'm sorry for jumping on you."
The snake tilts his head to the side and bows slightly, "Your apology isss...acceptable...with the promisss of more cheese bunssss." Basilisk adds hopefully. Wait? Is he begging again for food, no! Basilisk is a top notch preditor! King of the woods! He kills beasts and eats them! And...oh who is he kidding. The snake has slowly felt his predator qualities slipping away from his time spent here. He isn't a snake, not really in his own eyes, so what is he?
Blisa scowls. "If I can't ride you, then why do you nee-mph!!" Ferdinand clamps a paw over the kitten's mouth, a slight tick forming in his left eyelid. He doesn't say anything at the moment...even the snake should be able to tell that the ferret is getting rather, um, ticked off.
The snake shakes his head and looks to the window, "Basssilissk wants to go out ssside." Turning back to the odd pair he says, "Basssilissk issss tired of being trapped inssside....hasss cave fever."
Blisa shrieks slightly, pawing the ferret's paw away, and shakes her head, looking truly afraid. "No, they'll kill you! And it's too cold; you'd freeze to death! Please, no!" Ferdinand sighs, then nods in agreement. "Yeth, pleathe don't." But he's asking for another reason...
Basilisk looks rather stunned by the cat's outburst. He looks longingly at the window but finely sighs, "I suppossssse I can stay indoorssss..." He gives the ferret a devious smirk, "Cheese bread tassste ssso much better than out ssside in the cold..."
Blisa cheers and hugs the snake. Ferdinand smiles in return. "Unleth you're well bundled up." He suddenly sneezes thrice in a row, and brings out a handkerchief to wipe his snout with.
The snake looks down at the cat as she hugs him. Basil admits he is quite lost as to what to do here. If he gives a hug back people will think he is trying to crush her being, you know, a snake. He uses the ferrets distraction to his advenatage, "That doesssn't sound too good ferret...looksss like you needssssome soup." The snake moves away from blisa and rests his head over the ferrets shoulder but not on it and then pokes at his stomach with the tip of his tail, "A big vat of sssoup, maybe three ssshould do it. Make you nice and f...fit. Yessssssssssssss...fit and healthy."
Ferdinand smiles oddly. "And why are you thuddenly tho concerned about my health?" Blisa looks dissapointed that the snake didn't hug her back, but she goes through the same reasoning as he did; that people would think he was trying to crush her. She skips over to the fireplace and flings herself onto the hearth dramatically.
Moonbeam is outside or least she is till she manages to open a window in a bedroom and crashes onto a table as she falls inside, she shakes her head and looks around and rolls her eyes, she then peeks inside another room, not yet knowing ...hey beasts are home.
The whiptail grins deviously at the ferret, "Well, we wouldn't want you to lossse weight...you are already thin as it isssss." The snake coils around the ferret, for a moment it looks like he is going to try and crush him but instead turns sharply for Blisa, coiling around her feet and up again to look into the fire, he feels the vibrations in the floor and turns to the look at the bedroom instead. His eyes narrow but he says nothing.
Ferdinand is a trained warrior, and he knows that snakes can feel and hear things that ferrets can't, and so he casually looks in the direction Basilisk is looking in. Blisa sighs and stares into the flames, lost in thought.
Moonbeam doesnt hear the snake then it is not like they make much noise, she is looking for things of value to steal, she then makes the mistake of entering the room where every beast is.
Basilisk reacts first to the weasels presence. "Well hello..." he says pleasantly then launches himself towards the weasel. It looks like meat is back on the menu. His tail threatens to spin Blisa about as it uncoils quickly from her.
"Gahk!" Blisa exclaims as she gets spun onto her back. She stares openmouthed at the weasel. How in the world did /she/ get in here? Ferdinand draws his sabre like lightning and leaps forward, only to be beaten to the target by a huge snake. The ferret, in some random part of his brain, now begins to question his trepidation for having a snake in the house. They make good guards...
Moonbeam eyes go wide as she sees the snake and barely dives out of the way and rolls to the side and quickly stands up pulling out a short sword. "Back off!!"
The large snake goes flying past the little weasel like a train narrowly missing a car on the tracks. He could have sworn he was faster than that. Perhaps he should lay off the cheese bread...regardless the snake coils again, posing for a strike, "Finally! Ssssome real action." Basilisk creeps ever forward, "Tell me missssss weasssel...do you prefure to be biten...crussshed...or sssshould I jusst eat you aliiiiiive..." The snake flashes his eyes and fangs as he smiles.
Ferdinand darts forward, batting at the weasel's sword with his sabre, making sure to stay out of the snake's way. The snake's words snap Blisa out of her startled stupor, and she stands up and starts to trot over to the group. "Hey...whoa, how'd you get in my house? Why are you in my house?"
Moonbeam holds onto her sword tightly, she has never fought a snake before so she is unsure how to do this. She looks at the kitten. "Duhhhh to rob it" Moonbeam feels the sword bump and narrows her eyes as she tries to slice at him and ends up droping her own sword, seems she needs some lessons.
The snake giggles with excitement, seeing the two fight. "Prehapssss the weasssel will like to die via blade firssst." He rests his head on his tail and watches with a smile. "Maybe you can make her into your famoussss sssstew eh?"
This is basically a smack in the face to Ferdinand, and he literally lets down his guard and stares in disgust at the snake. "No! I don't make thtew out of beathtth! It'th...it'th an abomination!!" Blisa draws her dirk (which almost seems like a small sword in her paws) and lunges at the snake, aiming to use his head as a launchpad so she can attack the weasel at eye-level. If she succeeds, she'll be bringing her dirk hilt down towards the weasel's head.
The snake licks his chops as the weasel drops her blade. Looks like its dinner t-"GAH!" he shouts as the cat leaps on him.
Blisa goes to tie up the weasel, saying as she does so, "We need to tell Daddy about this." Ferdinand, still a little twitchy about the whole thing, just nods in agreement.
We had to scram here. Sorry for the slightly disjointed ending. Thanks for reading!
