The whiney snakey person strikes again...and gets sat on ;)
This happened right as Blisa and Ferdinand were about to leave the village. to join Scioto and Astra at Redwall. :) Just a warning--you might find the snake annoying ;)
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.

Blisa the cat, Ferdinand the ferret, and Basilisk the whipsnake. Zhu the fox.
On the go on the go on the GO! Because its getting rather cold out here Zhu is in a hurry to get her hiney in gear to move out so she can get back to the market and to a place that's relatively warm or at least has walls of some kind that aren't that expensive to rent. With a new coat thrown on over her usual livery and a pair of padded slacks on under her normal skirt Zhu is checking that the last of her rolls are secured to her packing frame before she does get a move on. Her being in front of the chieftains home is less of an accident than not because she figures its more closely watched and what remains of her cargo she would like not to be stolen nor examined to closely.
The guards in front of the house just lazily watch the pedestrians as they wander past the house, not looking threatenign inthe least. The hop to attention as the door opens and Blisa comes out in various, well-made blue winter-wear things, not the least of which are her crocheted hat, mittens and scarf and her luxurious winter cloak. Her main bodyguard, Ferdinand comes out, holding both of their haversacks as a huge snake fllows them to the door...and gets stuck in the doorframe. "Whhhyyyyy are you leavign me here all alone?" whines Basilisk. "Who will feed me cheessssse bunssss?" Blisa ignores him, but the ferret looks about ready to sock the reptile in the face.
The rather large snake makes Zhu cock a brow, if she ever had kids or a house... she would definitely not let something like that in there. Now that she thinks she has everything all ready to go Zhu starts to get a slow move on, she knows who Blisa is and a body guard by proxy by way of Ferdinand is something that is very ok with her, if Ferdinand doesn't remember who she is or what happened the last time she was around, though that was a rather brief meeting. At least the snake isn't going, thank the cold for that, then bodyguard by proxy or no Zhu would head the other way.
Blisa smiles at the fox. "Good day." Ferdinand whips around and threatens the still-whining snake with a haversack, which just arises a wail from the reptile. "It'ss not my fault that I can't fit through the door and I jussst want to come with you and I don't know who's going to feed me and I'm tired of being cooped up in the houssssse and it's not my fault!"
Quietly wishing that the cold smacks the reptile on the nose some time soon Zhu puts a little more pep in her step before giving a reply to Blisa. " Why hello there, Blisa ini't it? How are ya? " Keeping her eyes half on the cat half on Ferdinand half on the snake is getting a bit tiresome, but she does NOT trust one, only trusts one as far as she could throw them and the last one should be beyond reproach but little beasts make good pick pockets. Now that she is moving a bit more and is fairly sure that the pack is going to stay put Zhu jams her paws into her coats pockets, yep the wind is not going to be nice to anyone today.
Blisa smiles kindly, ignoring the arguing beasts in the doorway of her home. "Yes, that's my name, and I am well, thank you. And how are you? How is buisness coming?" The cat can't remember what the fox does as a job, but she's trying to be polite. Basil is still wailing, and it only increases in pitch as Ferdinand smacks him on the snout with a haversack.
Moving her eyes from trying to watch the portly snake, Ferdinand and Blisa down to just Blisa as Zhu is fairly sure that the snake isn't going to be coming along any time soon. " Well, things are a goin fine for the now, no? It is time ta be a headin for the market though as the weather really is a takin a turn for the cold an all yeah? Now where are ya off ta at a time like this what with ya wee scaly friend back there an all? " Getting all that out in one breath Zhu takes another peek back towards the door just to reassure herself that the snake is very much stuck there.
Basilisk isn't just stuck fast, he's letting everyone in earshot know about it. "BLISSSSSSA! I'm sssstuck! Wah! And Ferdy won't sstop hitting me! It'ss not my fault I'm ssso chubby! Thosse cheessse bunss and Marek'ss ssoldierss tasssted sso good, it'ss their fault, not mine, and if you leave who will feed me I don't wanna be here all alone I don't like the cold and you're sso warm why wont' you sstay????!" Ferdinand pauses in hisbashing the snake on the nose to silently contemplate the wisdom of beatign him with the flat of his sabre. Blisa sighs, then says, "I'm headed to Redwall to join my father and to get away from Mr. Whiney Tail for a little bit."
The petulant voice of the reptile is starting to grate on Zhu more than a little bit now but she tries her best not to pay it any mind as she replies to Blisa " Well ya have a wee lil tromp ahead o ya then no? At least ya will be a gettin away from tha thing back there, it sounds abou' like a terror, an no the terrifyin kind. " With the thoughts of how she had tried to steal something from the place some time ago starting to rattle around in her head Zhu wonders about possibly trying it again, though this time waiting till the place is empty and going armed with cheese buns because after that last bit the snake is about 0% intimidating.
Basilisk wails and falls over, gracefully draping himself over the steps and coming withing inches of squishing Ferdinand (who is understandable ticked off) and withing feet of Blisa. "Whhhhyyyyyyy do I have to sssstaaaaayy??" he whines pitifully, then he hollers as the cat sits on his face.. Ferdinand starts laughing at the ridiculous snake, especially since he's now muttering somethign abotu him being furniture. The cat smiles at the fox. "I'm sorry, I think I missed some of what you said."
The snake playing flop around causes Zhu to dance back a pace, though not intimidating in personality or action that much bulk flopping around could give anyone pancake nightmares. Taking one look down to make sure that the snake is trapped now by both door and cat bottom Zhu starts over " Well I was a commentin on your... chair there, but it seems ta me tha' will be a tad busy just yet gettin tha' thing ta quiet down an get back inside afore it gets to cold ta move. " That said Zhu wonders if she shouldn't yet delay a while, that thing of a snake is just so... whimpy that she is seriously considering trying to see how many things she could even get it to bring her for these cheese buns. But the wind is playing up again and making the cold blow almost through her new coat like it's not there, so scratch that, its to cold to steal or rob, time to go and soon.
The door guards have had enough of this and say to Ferdinand, "Would you please move Miss Blisa so we can get fatso here back into the house?" Ferdinand happily obliges by picking up the cat, who understandably freaks out. "HET! FERDY, HELP--PUT ME DOWN, FERDY, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU???!!!" Basilisk sighs in relief, then squeals as the guards start the laborious process of getting him back into the house....and ignoring his whining at the same time, which is a challenge in and of itself.
Seeing that things are getting a bit out of paw Zhu decides that it's time to go, the body guard by proxy would of been nice but the snake a baby seems to be robbing her of that. " Well, seein as ya have ya paws full there I'll just get a movin on then, good luck gettin ta tha red wall place, I'll be a stopin off afore I get tha far, maybe see ya there! " Then the vixen is starting to move away partly to not have to listen to the snake and very much because of the wind.
Blisa waves good-bye to the fox, then runs against the wind, carrying her haversack. Ferdinand quickly follows, leaving the poor door guards to deal with the fat, whiney snakey person.
Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I had RPing in it :)
