Market day, yeah? or Oi. Watch it, buster.
FV:Town Center
The gravelly path through the village gets wider the further into the village it travels until at the centre of the village it splits off into four around a large firepit just waiting for any excuse for a feast or celebration and still showing the bones and a few broken mugs from the last one around the edges. A large longhouse for meetings has been built on one side of the road, standing important, decorated with carved wood, shields, weapons, furs and a large skull over the door with the large similarly fearsomely decorated house of the chief sitting proudly beside it.
Meek in comparison across the road a smaller wooden building bares a misspelled sign over the door naming it the 'Infermery'. A few trees dot the edges of the clearing but buildings take over in most directions, only the north showing some vegetation within the village walls. To the west houses seem to spring up and take over the land while noise and masses of beasts take over the south around the market and shops. Down the eastern trail the village gates can just be seen with the tavern close by.
Exits: [A]banded [W]arehouse, [T]own [H]all, [In]firm, [C]hieftain's [H]ome, [N]orth, [S]outh, [W]est, [E]ast
Friends: Shaz the rat. Blisa the cat (with Ferdinand the ferret guard spoofed).
Shaz walks along the shadows of the village path, he seems to like the shadows and is following a rather fat ferret, the ferret drops a pile of items he is carring, from the market probally and so the rat Shaz slips behind them and pick pockets the fat ferret and grins as he walks a little ways off beside a warehouse and looks in the pouch and smirks, a gold and few silver, good day." He chuckles and watches the ferret wander off again towards the houseing area, he shakes his head and watches varies beasts come and go and adjusts his hood so it better covers his face.
Another pair of creatures pass right in front of the rat -- Ferdinand the young adult ferret guard and his little charge, Blisa, daughter of Scioto. The kitten is talking at aproxamatly a million miles an hour, and Ferdinand smiles as he listens to her, his golden eyes roving the crowd, always on alert, and always on duty, ready to protect Blisa. The friends have yet to notice Shaz...but then again, they might not ever notice him in this crowd.
Shaz looks over towards the dibbun and guard but stays where he is for now and simply watches.
Blisa grabs hold of her bodyguard's paw and begins tugging his paw towards the market. He just stands there, quietly asking a question, which in turn makes her stop, stomp her foot, and answer back. He speaks again. She get's ticked off, and they get into a slight, yet quiet, argument. Yeah. Right in the middle of 'traffic'.
Shaz chuckles as he watches the dibbun and walks a little closer to get a better look at what is going on.
Blisa is seriously ticked off now, but somehow Ferdinand is staying calm, though maybe not for very much longer now. Suddenly, th ekitten stomps her foot again, whips around, and dashes off...only to crash right into Shaz, unless he dodges, which he might. He was the only one of the 2 of them who seemed to be paying attention to his surroundings.
Shaz eyes go wide as he is crashed into and falls over,he snarls at the kitten, "Ya little brat!" He yells out before he can stop hiself and glares at the dibbun, he backs up and quickly goes to dust himself off and checks a couple things in his pockets as he ods to himself and looks at the kitten, "Watch ya step!"
Speedily rising to her feet, Blisa backs up into Ferdinand in trepidation as he steps foreward, paw on the hilt of his sick-looking sabre. "Watch it. I don't know who you are, but I mutht athk you to at leatht pretend to have good mannerth."
Shaz mutters "Pretend ta have good manners.." He stands slowly and dusts off his claok, not that it helps much, its already dirty before that, he clears his throat, Shaz says, "Dibbuns should watch where they are going"
Ferdinand keeps his golden-eyed gaze steadily on Shaz's face as he speaks. "Yeth, they thould. But adultth ought to not yell at Dibbunth they don't know." Blisa ducks behind the ferret, picks up a rock, and stuffs it in her bag -- just in case.
Shaz rolls his eyes and his paws go in his pockets, "Fine,..who are you guys since i'ts to be known" He smirks"According to you, and no one is my boss, dislike rules"
Ferdinand smiles politely, but keeps his paw on his sabre hilt, but before he can speak, Blisa pipes up. "My name's Blisa. My Daddy is Scioto. This is Ferdinand. He's my guard and friends. Who are you?"
Shaz smirks, as he hears who her father is he suddenly stands up a little better, "Oh..feline cheif's dibbun, how...nice" He forces a smile at the two but doesn't say his name, "My name is my bussiness"
"But I want to know." Insists Blisa, who is then glared into silence by Ferdinand. Turning back to Shaz, the ferret nods. "Good to meet you, thir. Have a nithe day." Grabbing the kitten's paw, he turns and leads her off, totally not trusting the rat.
Shaz watches as they head off, he dusts off his shoulder and kicks a rock off to the side before looking towards the tavern "I seriously need an ale"
Blisa suddenly tugs her paw out of the ferret's and runs back to Shaz, Ferdinand right on her heels. "Why won't you tell us your name?" she asks, tilting her head slightly.
Shaz looks down at the dibbun, "Why so curious little kitty, didn't ya daddy say not ta talk to strangers and trust me, ya don't really want to talk to me"
Ferdinand looks like he's about to have a coronary as Blisa smiles. "I'm a cat. Please don't call me 'kitty'. I don't call you 'ratface', do I? As for Daddy, yes, he has, but I didn't listen. You don't scare me. I was held prisoner be Vladmir Stormfeather. He was allot scarier than you."
Shaz says, "Never heard of Vladmir whoever and I can be scary if I want ta be, I am an assassin, I can kill a beast thats 200 yards away with a dagger to the back before anyone knows who did it, takes talent that does""
"Then ask around. Other creatures can tell you who Vladmir was. Oh, yeah, and he's dead now." Blisa takes a step closer. "Stormfeather had an army of blackbirds and an army of monitor lizards to do his bidding, and he wasn't afraid to kill for no reason. Can ya beat that?"
Shaz looks down at the dibbun, "I need a reason first, I have honor sounds like he didn't. Honor is important for any fighter, some lack it...you should never lack it wen your older, have it instead"
Blisa smiles. "I'll keep that in mind. And you keep in mind why you don't scare me, m'kay?" Turning around she grabs Ferdinand's paw and leads him off to the market, while he tries to get over his near-death experiance.
