Quinten Log 3 - 14 09 2005
Quinten is wandering along the halls of the mountain, looking rather bedraggled about the fur and completly lost, he's sopent the last five hours trying to find any beast and is nothaving much luck..
Howard appears from out of the training room carrying a spear in one paw, resting it on his shoulder. He is, as ever, displeased about something.
Quinten's muzzle splits into a wide grin as he sees you and trots over "Well is ay ole chap, its about bally time i saw some beast, i have to admit the ole hospitalilty isn't up to much in thisbally ole mansion,"
Howard stops and looks up at Quinten. "They're probably all busy. Duties to attend to." he says, slightly less exasperated than usual now having come to see dealing with the younger hare as some thing more akin to a chore.
Quinten blinks and nods "Oh well ok then still baly confusing place this, i've been walking around up here for two hours and still can't find the bally bathroom, i mean look at my fur, total mess, i must look a sight and they way your lot wander around alllspick and span i can't see that bbeing a good thing."
Nadia slips out of the dormitory hallway, She holds a bladed staff made out of wood, Made for practice obviously.
Howard cranes forward and sniffs. He takes a step back after doing so. "No, evidently it is not.". He's tempted to make a number of hygiene related suggestions as to why Quinten has had trouble finding anyone, but he leaves it for the time being. "It's around some where."
Quinten glares at the other hare and sniffs "Now there is no need for that ole chap, i don't smell you know,"
Nadia looks at the hares quietly, Wondering where daddy is..
Howard jostles the spear into a more comfortable position. "I beg to differ.". He catches Nadia out of the corner of his eye and tuts quietly to himself. The kiddie's are always trouble.
Nadia yawns slightly and heads towards the training room with her bladed staff in paws
Quinten sighs "Right ho then chap if i stink take me to the bathroom or i'll stick my ears under your ole nose, mayhaps if one of your chaps had taken the time to help me out i'd not be left wandering the halls
Howard glares at Quinten, taking him very seriously "You try any of that and its a spear in the face." he slides the spear of his shoulder and into a more menacing grip "And another thing these 'chaps' round here have better things to do than give you a guided tour."
Nadia laughs a bit and decides to stay and watch these beasts for a bit..
Quinten looks rather warily at the spear and holds up his paws "Ok ok i didn't mean to offend sheesh,"
Howard drops the staff down to where it was "Good," he points off to the access to the third level. "They're up there."
Quinten salutes "Thank ye... be back in a jiffy wot"
Salamandastron: Baths
- -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Salamandastron *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
The bath areas of Salamandastron span several individual rooms. There is
a large central common area with bowls and tables hewn directly out of the
rock. These 'bowls' are used for washing faces and paws at mealtimes and
in the morning. On opposite sides of the cavern are two wooden doors.
One has the word 'males' carved into it and the other 'females'. Another
section sits almost directly above the forge - a sauna. This area has a
wooden door so that the evaporating moisture does not escape the room.

Visible Exits:
Well. Seeing as Ender wants to go out for a walk again, and he needs an escort, as all old timers do, Darklett's decided to go out with him... Seeing as there's a larger chance Ender would -kill- any other beast. "So, Ender. Sure you don't want to just walk around inside the mountain? It's raining, you're gonna get soaking wet."
Large rain drops splash onto Ender, not doing much for his current mood. "A little wetness never, erm, hurt anyone!" He yells. "It is a lovely day no matter what the weather is like, as long as you're alive, eh?" The rabbit takes a few more tentative steps, leaning on his stick. "And we won't see many more lovely days as long as vermin continue to overrun the, erm, mountain." Ender turns towards Darklett, accusingly. "And you're the one that lets 'em in, eh?" The elder turns back to his walk. He mumbles under his breath, just barely audible. "I suppose we can head inland a bit." He grunts.
Hawke is...relaxing, really, right where he had been left the day before. Rain? Hardly a bother...he could care less about getting soaked. In fact, he seems to enjoy it. Reclined in a spot on some rocks to stay out of the sand, the rat is resting, arms folded behind his head, not too far from the entrance. As he hears some folk nearby, he glances towards the noise and chuckles. "Ah...well, what've we got 'ere?"
Howard appears from the entrance, oddly in a hurry to get into the rain. In truth he's out to avoid Quinten who he's only just sent on his merry way to the baths. Hopefully the weather will deter the lounger hare from spoiling his peace and quiet. Upon seeing Darklett and the old timer he goes off to the side and sits behind a rock, evidently he doesn't want to speak to them either even if there is a vermin about. They can handle themselves.
Nadia slips out after Howard looking slightly bored.
Found the baths rooms and indeed put his fur back into order, he then decided he fancied some fresh air and not quite feeling up to wandering the halls of the mountain for hours on end again decided to climb out a window on the first floor and is casually strolling down the side of the mountain muttering under his breath.
Hawke room-pages, "Anyone claimin' that spoof?".
Ender room-pages, "Heh.".
Ender room-pages, "Me. ;)".
You room-page, "oh right sorry me"
You room-page, "i typed spoof instead of :"
In a room page-pose, Hawke chuckles and points. ---->
Darklett chuckles, looking over at Ender at the apparent enthusiasm of walking out in the miserable weather. "Guess it never hurt me, but this is bad, Ender!" He does have to raise his voice over the loudness of the weather, and this veils any real emotion, but he laughs after this, rolling his eyes. "We might as well just jump into the sea at this rate! Yeah, alright. We'll head towards the mountain a little. Y'know, there's no reason to fear that fox I took in. She was too injured to do any harm, I couldn't just leave her out here to die."
( A bolt of lightning strikes somewhere on the mountain, causing Ender to jump, visibly. He quivers a bit as a loud roll of thunder crashes through the air. He turns back to
Darklett. "It doesn't matter how, erm, injured they may seem! Those creatures are naught but trouble." In the corner of his eye Ender spots the rat. He sighs heavily and walks a bit more vigorously in the opposite direction. The rabbit then spots Nadia, and he grits his teeth. "See what I mean, eh?" He screams over the rain. "You let one in, you let a whole group in!" Ender is now obviously irate, and staggers away, quite fast for one his age. He is soon no longer visible in the pouring rain. )
Hawke slides from his spot and drops to the ground, stretching. "Awr, ain' that right nice o' ye..." He brushes some sand, rather pointlessly, off his clothing and flicks an ear as a raindrop scores a rather direct hit. "Mmm...ain' nothin' more'n' a nice squall... 'ad far worse out on th' seas..." He hardly blinks at the lightning...there's not even any masts to be splintered. "Aye...far worse..." He watches Ender start to wander off and snorts. "So...what cralled in 'is ear an' nested?"
Howard spots Quinten coming down the mountain side ahead of him and proceeds to scrabble around the other side of his rock. The spear makes this really quite difficult.
Nadia watches the rabbit go with an amused look then walks towards Darklett saying "Hi."
Quinten has reached the bottom of the mountain brushing water out of his eyes as the rain sluices down over him "A chap shouldn't have bothered getting dry it would seem," he peers around and spots the fox and hare and begins to set out towards them, seems he's missed Howard's scramble for cover as he walks right past his rock.
Darklett picks up his pace and tries to keep up with Ender, but... Seeing as he's making it to the mountain, he slows down, looking over to the rat with a shrug. "He's... he's old, heh. Hard for beasts like that to change views, y'know? Don't know much about him, really." He looks about to actually strike up decent conversation with Hawke, until Nadia comes into the picture. He looks down at her, and gives her a little wave. Like the ones adults give little kids all the time, heh. "Guess you're one of the little blighters Ender's talkin' about."
After he gives the greeting to Nadia, the lieutenant turns his head towards Ender, looking to where he was just a few moments ago... But indeed, the rain conceals him. "Ender! Hey, wait up!" He quickly jogs into the rain to try and catch up with the old rabbit.
Hawke nods. "Ah...well.. p'haps we outta make sure 'e ain't 'bout t' drown 'isself... 's hard t' see th' end o' th' beach, an' th' start o' th' sea with th' storm..." He might as well be talking to himself, though, seeing as Darklett takes off after the rabbit anyway... With a slight shrug, the pirate just trudges along afterwards. He's got nothing better to do, after all.
Salamandastron: Western Side
- -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Salamandastron *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
The wind blows by as you gaze up at the tall and mysterious mountain. There is a red glow at the top of it. To the north stretches more coast as well as to the south. You notice a small cave at the base of the mountain. Some beach stretches between the mountain and the waves of the sea.
- -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Salamandastron: Northwestern Side
- -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Salamandastron *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Farther north, on the northwestern side of the mountain is more coast and the ever looming presence of the mountain. To the north is coast and to the west is the ocean. The beaches between the mountain and the ocean look like a prime battleground area..
- -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Ender seems more than somewhat confused, attempting to find his way to a forest, or something that is not the blasted ocean. His geographical skills are very, very limited, especially with zero visibility. The rabbit screams out a few unmentionable words before continuing around north of the mountain. His footsteps are getting heavier, and he seems to be drooping. He does not notice anyone behind him, assuming he is alone.
Darklett peers into the rain as it creates a thick wall of mist that he can barely see through. "Ender! Hey, call out if you hear me!" He does indeed hear the aforementioned unmentionable utterances, and, to the best of his ability, he follows those. "Keep yelling, the rain's too thick, I can't see you!"
Howard peers at the shapes that lie at the edge of his visibility. He's not entirely sure why he elected to come out this far and doesn't think going much further. He wipes water from his face and then shields his eyes with the same paw, still peering.
Quinten jogs along through the rain and draws level with Darklett, he leans forwards to pear at the older hare "What ho there ole bean.....whats all the rucus? Running about in the rain like htis isn't good for a beast"
Ender continues to plod along. Finally, he notices other beasts in his field of vision. Unfortunately, he doesn't recognize them. "Stay away from, erm, me. You blighters won't get near me, eh? I'm a flippin' resident of this 'ere mountain." This little speech is mostly wasted, as his volume trails off towards the end. The rabbit does look a bit worried, however. Where is Darky?
Darklett's ears perk as he picks up Ender's voice again. He changes direction slightly and heads towards it, squinting against the rain as a sudden gust blows it towards his eyes. A paw comes up to shield them, but he keeps walking, a bright flash of lightning and another crack of thunder lighting up and booming through the air around him. "Ender, just stay still, alright! And keep talking!"
Howard trudges forward as the shouting starts up. If there's trouble brewing he doesn't want a berrating for not helping. He's already had one warning for being a moody sod and he's not up for more of it. Of course he has to play it quiet for a while lest the really tough hard liners in the mountain get wind of who exactly led the wounded fox to the mountain.
Quinten peers forwards as he picks up Ender's voice "I say....whose out there?"
Loud crack of thunder. "...stay still..." Another bolt, followed by another ear-ringing noise. "...talking..." Ender's ears perk up. The voice sounds somewhat like Darklett. The rabbit begins to turn before his breath catches in his throat. He turns around and begins to run, extraordinarily fast for one his age. He is once again, out of sight.
Ender room-pages, "wait on your poses, continue one room north.".
Salamandastron: Northern Side
- -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Salamandastron *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
On the northern side of the mountain there is not much to see except heading north you would find more coastline. To the west is the ocean and to the east are dunes.

Howard continues to move forward the vague shapes of Darklett and Quinten some distance ahead. He slips on something in the wet sand and he stumbles forward. "Ow." he mumbles from under the sand. He stands his entire front caked in soggy mess. Thankfully he's kept his spear. He carries on,
Darklett turns to Quinten. "It's the old rabbit Ender," he murmurs quietly out of the side of his mouth, before cupping his paws and shouting into them, "Hold still! Ender!" Oh, man,
Ender's lost, he just -knows- it. Lightning strikes and thunder claps again, and the lieutenant marches against the heavy rain, peering for any silhouette of the rabbit that can be seen, simply walking in the direction of the last voice he heard.
You say, "Oh no idea who that is but if he's in need we'd best go fin dhim wot"

The rain is at its heaviest now. The visibility is getting a bit better, but this does not matter to Ender. He continues to flee. From what, it can not be seen. He stops, paws on his chest and breathes heavily for a moment. He then continues to run, his steps become more and ore erratic.
"Ender! Ah... this is bad." Darklett spits out some of the rain that flew into his mouth while he was talking. "Uh, you..." He pats the hare's shoulder, just assuming he's in the Long Patrol already. :P "Walk towards the mountain and comb the area closer to that, it's better we split up, we can cover more ground that way." After that, he walks forward, peering against the misty rain. "Ender!"
Darklett room-pages, "Er, by "the Hare" I meant quinten. :D".
Howard is gaining ground, having lost sight of the shapes he has picked up the pace. Improving visibility is also assisting and he begins to catch glimpses of Darklett and Quinten outlines.
Ender room-pages, "Pose?".
Darklett room-pages, "Quinten? o.o I guess we can skip 'im. o.o Assume he just did what I said?".
Ender room-pages, "Okey".
Ender room-pages, "Alright, one more room and then he's done running.".
Ender room-pages, "east...".
Ender room-pages, "no, west. more disoriented.".
Ender has arrived.
Ender room-pages, "wait...".
Ender room-pages, "i dunno".
Darklett room-pages, "O_O".
Ender room-pages, "where to?".
Darklett room-pages, "Ender's the one running. :D".
Ender room-pages, "east, I guess.".
IDLE-BOOT: You will be dropped in 5 minutes.
You room-page, "sorry i have to go, bit of an emergency cropped up"

Salamandastron: Secondary Infirmary
- -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Salamandastron *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
This is the Secondary Infirmary of Salamandastron, the room to where all
wounded beasts who must be treated immediately are taken. There is a
small alley in the room, with 5 beds each on both sides of it, the back
wall just a mass of cupboards holding herbs, though not as many. One of
the cupboards has no door, and a string dangles down, looping around a
pulley somewhere below the opening. It is a dumbwaiter, leading up to
the Main Infirmary, used for transporting herbs and other medical
supplies to the Secondary Infirmary if need be.

Visible Exits:
[Out] to Level One Intersection
With:
[IC] Howard
[IC] Bandages all over, Desc is after done healing. (Malica)
Howard room-pages, "silly question - what is the room page pose command?".
You room-page, "watches Howard groan"
Howard room-pages, "and possibly leap out of window.".
Malica room-pages, "room pase-pose is : like a normal pose.".
You room-page, "i'll stay quiet"
In a room page-pose, Howard test
In a room page-pose, Howard small dance.
Howard room-pages, "thanks very much".
Howard room-pages, "rp?".
Malica sits in a cot quietly, She is trying to talk a healer into letting her help with the other injured people, The healer doesn't want to let her though.
Quinten walks into the Infirmary dripping wet, he went and lost everyone else earlier in the rain and only just now found his way back to the Mountain
Howard comes in from the hall, the entire front of his uniform dirtied with damp sand. "She causing troubles?" he asks the healer sternly. He leaves Quinten out of things for the time being.
Malica shakes her head and says "No, I want to help I'm not causing trouble." The healer nods and says "But she needs to rest.."
Quinten smiles at the vixen "Well I'd say its best to listen to the healers Miss...." he grabs an ear and wring the water out of it
You room-page, "thats one of his ears mind..."
Howard peers down at the water splattering onto the floor from Quinten's ear. "Do you mind?" he says disapprovingly "Somebody might slip on that."
Quinten blinks and stops "Oh right sorry.." he looks around for something to mop it up with, he finds a towel and soaks up the water then wraps it around his ears and head fur "There we go sir.."
Malica sighs "I'm alright. Don't know why you are bothering to keep me here."
Bailey stirs in her cot, waking up after having slept fitfully for almost two days. "Ehm.. Wha's goin' on?"
Howard stares at Quinten's new head gear raising an eyebrow. "You know, some times i despair. I really do.".
Malica stands up to move over to Bailey, The healer doesn't stop her, She says "Hey there Hun, Feeling better today?"
Quinten looks at Howard "Wot? What did i do now?"
Bailey squints and smiles weakly at the vixen, nodding. "Fine, Mum.. Jest got a wee knock about me head, is all.. But.. This ain't me bedroom, this ain't our warren.. Where are we?"
Malica arches and eyebrow and decides to go along with it "This is Salamandastron Hun."
Howard shakes his head "Forget I said anything." he watches Malica get out of bed and go over to the recently woken hare. He observes.
Quinten reaches out a paw "No please... what am i doing wrong?"
Howard glances quickly up at Quinten "You just look silly that's all. in actual fact its probably more in key with the rest of these loons.". Evidently he defines himself from other hares in more ways than voice.
Bailey comes to her senses and murmurs casually, "Not bally well salutin' yer commandin' officer, that's wot.." She blinks, struggling to sit in her cot, her eyes bright and clear again. "Salamandastron... Then I made it! Sure, not all in one peice and a little beaten up, but I bally made it here, wot wot!"
Malica smiles and says "Guess so."
Quinten turns her head and smiles at Bailey "I don't have a commander miss, I'm not of the Long Patrol, can't seem to find a bally officer to recruit me"
Howard shrugs "And I'm unassigned as of yet so i don't really have one either."
Bailey blinks rapidly and wrinkles her nose. "Who does the recruitin'?"
Malica shrugs "No idea."
Quinten shrugs "I've not been able to find out yet, Howard here said find an officer"
Howard nods "Lieutenant Darklett would be your best bet." he says being uncharacteristically helpful "I've seen him around plenty the past couple of days."
Bailey smiles and nods, hopping out of the cot and touching a handpaw to her brow. "Thanks, Mister Howard, Sah.." She sets off briskly, then wobbles, not exactly ready to be up and about. "Gee whillickers, me legs feel like puddin', wot.." She staggers back to her cot, her face paling a bit. "Whew.. Guess those fiendish lizard types did more damage than I thought, eh?"
Quinten smiles and moves over to pat the hare maids paw "You should rest up wot, don't want to exert yourself and damage something, we'll want to impress the lieutenant when we meet him"
Malica moves to help Bailey saying "You alright Hun?"
Bailey shivers and nods, smiling. "I'm fine, just fine.. A little knobby-kneed, but otherwise great.. It's really cold in here, isn't it?"
You say, "Cold....i don't think so, might be the rain outside i guess""
Howard hmms thoughtfully, dabbing at the sand on his front. "Probably." he says, thinking about the days earlier events.
Malica hmms and says "You should probably lay down and get covered up."
Howard nods.
You say, "Yes get wrapped up warmly dear""
Bailey nods and obediently pulls the covers to her chin, content with the warmth. "Mm.. That's much better."
Malica moves to gently place a paw on the hare's forehead on a suspicion..
Howard continues to observe, an inkling of what the fox might be looking for creeps into his head.
Quinten frowns "What is it?"
Bailey's forehead is like a white hot hearth iron; she obviously has a very high fever. Having collapsed in the shallow water after running from lizards would have done it, if nothing else. "Erhm... Wot's the matter, wot're yer doin' with me 'ead?" She blinks. "An' besides.. Ain't foxes not supposed ter be in Salamandastron?"
Malica hmms "You are very sick it seems. I'm here because of this." She motions to her bandages then calls over a healer.
Quinten frowns "Well thats bad form miss, can't join the ole Long Patrol chappies if yer ill,"
Howard says, "Indeed."
Bailey wrinkles her nose defiantly, muttering, "I ain't ill. I'm fine.. Just a little chilled, is all.."
Malica fehs "Your forehead is burning. You are sick."
You ask, "You should rest up, eat lots and get better," he smiles "Can she eat? Eating always works i'll go find her something""
You say, "Hmm she fells asleep...will she be ok?""
Malica nods "I think so."
You say, "Well ok then....darn bad news, young maid ill like that""
Malica moves over to her cot and says "What am I, Chopped liver?"
Bailey has left.
Quinten turns his head "Oh sorry miss Malica..... not my fault sorry, brought up wrong like, believing vermin are scum... do appologise you seem nice enough"
Malica snorts "Bad way to be brought up, Some, Like me, Would never hurt a fly."
Quinten nods his head and smiles "Well i do applogise ma'am but i must warn you hear in the mountain, alot of beasts will think that
Malica chuckles "Most of them see me think that I'm not like that."
Quinten nods "Well that is good to hear then"
Malica grins "Probably because of the fact I'm wearing some of the most ragged clothes you've ever seen and I'm covered in bandages."
Quinten chuckles and stands up "Well i shall see about those clothes i think..."
Malica shrugs "These are kind of comfortable actually.
You say, "Well if you are sure..."
Malica chuckles "You've never heard sarcasm have you?"
Quinten tilts his head "Heard of it yes, but i'm as dense as a short plank when it comes to it..." he moves to a chest at the foot of the bed and opens it "Ok what do you want?"
Malica chuckles "No clothes in there that will fit me, They are all made for hares."
You say, "Well we must be able to adapt something...""
Malica chuckles "My legs are too slim for a hare's clothes."
You say, "Well it does not matter if they are a bit baggy for now"
Malica laughs "They'd fall off."
Quinten holds up a cloth bellt "Not a problem"
Malica shakes her head "I'll keep my clothes for now, Thanks."
Quinten frowns and puts them back in "Well i say, try to help and get your head snapped off2
Malica stands up to gently set her arm around your shoulders saying sweetly "I'll get clothes later. And I wasn't snapping your head off, I was politely refusing."
Quinten grumbles and flciks his ears "Well bally damn silly of ye, lookk at em, rags and crusty, we got plenty of good clothes here"
Malica smiles and gently squeezes "Maybe, But I prefer not to wear clothes that would look that bad on me." She says sweetly
Quinten looks at you "Well miss its your choice those ones look pretty bad as it is"
Malica shrugs "They cover me. And they fit decently."
Quinten nods and hugs you back "Well ok....but i'll see about gettin gyou some new ones"
