*He's not the tallest beast in the room, only about half a head taller than Swift, but the way every sea otter in the room suddenly goes silent gives the impression that he's important. He has a few grey hairs here and there, but doesn't look old at all besides that.* What a glorios day in Holt Coralfluke! Honestly, this is one of the best feasts I can remember. All the laughter and talking and stuff of the sort. Spoze I should start with the important parts of my speech though, so here it goes. Welcome, to all our guests! The Hedgicon brothers from up the path, always great to have you around, even though you may have troubles getting through the front door. *Every sea otter in the room, even Gizzzsh, howls with a mocking sort of laughter as the two hedgehogs next to Rudd raise their glasses appreciatively.* And we have some new guests today, I am aware that almost everyone is already aware of their presence, but you see it sounds like a better speech if I start off that way. Anyway, my son Rudd and a bunch of his friends seem to have found their way here, we had previosly thought that Rudd had either perished at sea, or run off to see the world way back on that trip to Shrew Island. Y'know, the one where that storm threw the ship completely off course, and we had to stay for a long time over at that great mountain with all the hares and repair our ship. Well it turns out the little creep was bein a stowaway and ran off as soon as we were all inside Salamandastron. "Course I'm too happy about him being back right now to verbally beat the daylights out of him, so I won't. But, back to the subject, they're welcome to stay as long as they like, and you're all to be less rowdy with them than you are with eachother. Don't think that well spoken mouse over there would appreciate the softest of cuffs to the arm from you great lumps. So, if I've made my point, and I can never be sure that I have, I'll sit down and the feast may resume.

*sarcasm* Gee, well spoken mouse, I wonder who he could be referring to? Oh, that's right, ME, since I'm the only mouse here! *grins brightly at Pearl* Well, I got here by being rescued somewhat similarly to yourself. See, I was on a little drawing trip, but it turns out, these shrews capture me and my friend; she because they thought her vermin, me because apparently they couldn't understand me. Had to get a wise man and a dictionary to figure out what on earth I was talking about. Funny, is it not? Of course, I have descended to this vocabulary of the common-folk to more easily converse with you. *grins, and it is obvious that she's at least kind of joking* (NT)Thistle the Odd16:59:12 10/21/03 Tue
**Pearl scratches her head in mock confusion and bewilderment, then grins** Good ol' Thistle! Of course, to her Highness the Queen of Strabwerries, I am but a lowly otter with a lower vocabulary... **Snorts, looking back at Earwax & Co. with disdain** I don't suppose they tried petting you, though... **Shudders, then brightens** I don't suppose they have a a sort of large area I can go and bounce a bit, do you? I haven't in absolute ages, and I'm getting out of practice... **Is about to do an experimental bonce, but realizes the room isn't quite large enough to prevent trampling on some otherbeast's feet...** (NT)Pearl18:40:32 10/21/03 Tue
*Mickle and the small otter go rolling by Pearl.* (Riverreed) I'll show yew! She was our pet! (Mickle) yer a pretty good wrestler, but she's no pet!Mickle and Riverreed20:02:06 10/21/03 Tue
*Swift sits back down and looks at Gizzzsh, who's gone back to staring at Fik and growling. Swift slaps the berserk otter on the back.* I like yore style, mate. No messin' about, just "grrrrrrrr...." and the occasionally odd rambly bit to add to your apparent mysteriosity. S'very nice. *He grabs a hunk of bread and begins chowing down.* (NT)Swift17:17:57 10/22/03 Wed
*Mickle grins as Swift as he's carried by, thrown over Riverreed's shoulder.* I guess I spoke too soon, matey. He was good enough to beat me...Mickle19:46:14 10/22/03 Wed
I got lost early on in a scuffle wi'some toads, but I got pointed in t'right direction by a couple o'beasts who said our rowdy lot 'ad sailed from Salamandathingy. Third Island lucky I falls out of a blinkin' tree and got stalked by Swift fer a bit. Nothin' that interestin' really...*She peers at her abandoned dinner partner, who is trying to mop up the stew on his knees with a piece of soggy bread, and shakes her head with a sigh. * What can y'say? All height an' nothin' ontop of the mast. 'Scuse me. *Feeling a little guilty, since they are guests after all, Kit wanders over to clear up her small mess.*Kit11:03:43 10/23/03 Thu
**Pearl grins and winks at Kit, having wandered over to a group of studious-looking otters** OTTER 1: Ah, Pearl, if'n I'm not mistaken! I would 'ave spoken on yore part 'bout th' pet-thing, but I couldn't be too sure. They wouldn't let us over close enough t' determine if'n you was otter or not! OTTER 2: Must you talk so? Miss Streamsong will think terribly of you if you are spouting information, yet still talk like an old seadog. PEARL: **Grins** Why thankee for th' kindness any'ows. An' ye can call me Pearl, I'm no fancy beast. Er, may I? **Motions to an empty seat at the table** OTTER 1: O' course! OTTER 2: You mean, "Why certainly, Pearl". How many times must I tell you! OTTER 2: **Winks**Jus' another time, mate! D'you like some? **Offers Pearl a bowl of soup and a small spoon of hotroot** PEARL: Sure, but 'ow about a bit more 'otroot? **Ladles more in** (NT)Pearl Streamsong, Saykin & Lindo, [Seaken, Searemm, & Seaquon (Unintoduced... maybe later, maybe not...)]17:48:25 10/24/03 Fri
*Mickle rolls off of Riverreed's back, and dashes over to the table of educated-like otters.* I heard hotroot! I love hotroot! I don't suppose that none o' ye eddicated types would have any watershrimp and hotroot soup, would ye?Mickle21:18:00 10/24/03 Fri
*Thistle's ears whisk upright, and she makes a beeline for Pearl's table* Inelligent conversation! I haven't had any in such a long time... (NT)Thistle the Odd07:06:55 10/25/03 Sat
*Swift suddenly stiffens as he looks accross the hall and yells at Rudd.* OI RUDD! 'OWCOME YE NEVER TOLD A LAD THAT YE HAD A LAST NAME? I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU WAS JUST RUDDINGY! (NT)Swift11:05:08 10/26/03 Sun
*Kit mops up the stew on the otter's knees with a short apology, but the huge seaotter in now in conversation with some other beast and, talking over her head, doesn't hear her. With a sigh, she attempts wriggling back onto the seat, but then her ears prick up when she hears Mickle.* Hotroot? They 'ave hotroot soup? Corks! *She makes a beeline for Pearl's table calling, *Don' give it all t'the ferret!Kit13:35:52 10/26/03 Sun
*Reed has found his way over to a overweight seaotter, about a head taller than him. Hes slightly oldish and wears a nasty looking aprein, with one of those drivers caps shoved onto his head. A old sea's otter he was, from the hoop earings and foul mouth, Reed and him take to each other like old, long lost friends, making Reed seem older than his middle age. The heavly overweight otter is dressed in a highland outfit and talks with the accent that matchs his clothing*Reed Streamline and Ruckus MacDonald15:16:42 10/28/03 Tue
**Pearl glares at Mickle and hugs her hotroot soup protectively** 'Tis mine! Ask Saykin or Lindo for some, I've been hotroot deprived for a season! SAYKIN: Aye, she's likely not to be sharing for some time now... *Grins at Pearl* But i 'ave some extras, if'n y' likes some! LINDO: *Is already dishing out soup and pepper* One for young Mickle here, and one for... Kit, is it? SAYKIN: Aye, I think so. *Turns to Kit* So, y' know our friend Pearl 'ere? (NT)Pearl16:09:22 10/28/03 Tue
**Three other otters where Pearl, Kit, and Mickle are grin at Thistle and bow. The largest, Seaken, speaks** Ah, a creature of intelligence here as well! May I introduce us, I am Seaken, and my brothers are Searemm and Seaquon. I do believe you are Thistle Longfaith, or so I have caught above the other conversation here? SAYKIN: Now you're all startin' t' sound like Lindo 'ere! **Looks dispairingly at Pearl, Kit, and Mickle** Where'll it all end? (NT)Seaken, Searemm, and Seaquon16:13:38 10/28/03 Tue
*Trys to tackle mickle from the shadows.* Bwahahahaaaa!!! I'm still here! (NT)Coal Snagfire18:43:39 10/28/03 Tue
*Mickle squeeks and sets his bowl on the table just before Coal tackles him.* ack! careful there, matey! ye almost made me spill the soup!Mickle19:03:41 10/28/03 Tue
((OOC: I shall be in Flora-dai from tonight to Sunday...meaning that I'll try and scrape up an occasional post, but that's it. =^.^=)) *Thistle blinks and immediately warms to the otters* Prithee, how can one so learn-ed stand to consort with such low-lifes that are here? *attacks strawberry flan with vim and vigor* (NT)Thistle the Odd05:12:48 10/29/03 Wed
OOC: Alright Thistle, no big deal. Say hi to Wil for me! Oh wait, she's not in Florida anymore... BIC: *Swift is now standing between Gizzzsh and Fik, muttering.* Blimey, Fik, dunno what you said, but it sure got old pretty Gizzzsh here in a right state... *Gizzzsh leaps on Swift and begins biting him as Swift screams aloud and breaks a nearby chair over the rabid otter's back.* BLIMEY! DOES YE ALL STARVE THIS CHAP 'ERE! HE'S TRYIN' TO BITE ME VOICE BOXES OUT! (NT)Swiftstream Brooktail15:26:37 10/29/03 Wed

((OOC- **Stares at Thistle in envy** Want... go... back... Florida... **Hides in Thistle's luggage and hitches a ride there anyway...^_~**)) BIC- **Saykin snorts under his breath as the otter trio begin to talk to Thistle, completely ignoring Pearl, Saykin, Lindo, Mick, etc...** PEARL: Ah, leave 'em be. If I was as learned as Thiss there I'd want t' show it. She's a walkin' talkin' recoder's archive, ya know. (NT)Saykin and Pearl17:53:39 10/29/03 Wed
*The large otter waddles over to Gizzzsh and poors a good amount of wiskey in his mouth and pats Swift on the back, all with Reed standing behind staring at the rabid otter* Ther' ye go'h lad, no'h'w ye got got a'h' wee drunkard idiot otter on yer 'awsReed and Ruckus MacDonald18:52:59 10/29/03 Wed
*Mickle snatches up his bowl and walks over to a corner, where he slumps down and begins sipping at his soup, while watching Gizzzsh gnaw on Swift.* I wonder if they make the soup any hotter...it could really use some more hotroot.Mickle20:11:30 10/29/03 Wed
*Kit finishes the hotroot soup, that has been fully occupying all of her attention, and looks on in wonder at the otters and Thistle.* Corks! It's amazin' they don' starve spendin' all that time on intelligant natter. *She grins at Mickle.* Now if yer finish that lot off matey then I suggest yer keep a LARGE bucket of cold water close t'paw.Kit10:13:49 10/30/03 Thu
*Gizzzsh, now drunk, is even more aggressive in his attacks on Swift. The river otter captain chucks a bowl at the rabid otter, grabs another chair and breaks it over Gizzzsh's back, and runs up to the front of the hall. Hiding behind Brodd, he mutters.* Righto, Rudd's pap. I pulled your offspring out of a fine mess plenty of times... As you can see, Gizzzsh o'er there's taken a bit o' a liking to me legs and neck and such. Can you call off said rabid otter? I'd be much obliged. (NT)Swift11:38:49 10/30/03 Thu
*Mickle grins at the others, pours the hotroot sauce/soup into his bowl, then swallows a huge mouthful. Much to the hillarity of everyone, he forces it down, his face turning bright red.* WHEW!!! That's spicy! I like it! *Swallows another mouthful.*Mickle14:52:59 10/30/03 Thu

*Gizzzsh pause and looks to Mickle, growling in a low tone. He stalks over and begins sniffing Mickle, a grin creeping slowly across his face. He licks his lips and sidles up next to Mickle, growling.* Shicklickamammamamalllam... (NT)Gizzzsh00:19:33 11/02/03 Sun
*Swift grins as he pats Brodd on the back.* Right then, govnah... You just keep up said hard work... I'm thinkin' it's a bit noisy in here, and I'm gonna go for a bit of a walk... *With that, he tips his hat and walks out.* (NT)Swiftstream00:22:19 11/02/03 Sun

*A lean, average sized otter paces up and down the side of the hall. His dark blue robes slightly flapping, and a odd look on his face* New come beastes here food for, no?hmmm. Yes, no? *He begins to chew on his lip, then paces over to Mickle* Sah, say, here Gizzzsh t'aint no 'right. Too far bangs, booms, head to.*He picks up a half eaten bowl of hotroot soup, and sips it* ahh, bad tastes this, uggh, good no soup, bad, evil, no good *At that he throws the bowl onto the ground* No good!
