Subject: .... Author: Guess who [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:12:32 03/10/02 Sun **A small figure stumbles the room. You think it is a child, she is so slim boned and fragile seeming. Then you spot her muscles. And the old scars, mixed with fresh that are evident of the skin showing. She collapses on the ground, gasping for breath for a minute, before rolling onto her back. There is a glint in her eye that speaks of mischief, and fun in days bygone.** Alright greenies, someone get me Kinnan or Fav. Now. **There is a note of command in her voice that you can't ignore. At this time, a select few of you, the older ones, who have been with the army for a while, begin to recognize this tiny squirrel.** Go tell those bastards that I'm back, and here to stay.

Subject Author Date **Suddenly the wolf sees the little squirrel. He becomes immediately alert and gets to her side in three paces. He reaches for her head and props her up with a gentleness that belies his own strength. His expression is a mixture of concern and anger** What happened? Astriana, where have you been? **He looks over her** Fabulous. Our healer needs one. Fav, do you have your healer pack with you? **Tries to examine the fresher wounds** (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 15:01:51 03/10/02 Sun Re: **The squirrel smiles at Kinnan, large eyes meeting his.** You were right. I'm sorry for suspecting. But the real ones got me. Dammit, they tried to break us from the inside. They almost did at that. **Astriana, Commander Astriana, trainer of new recruits, coughs and shudders, fighting a brief battle for consiouness, and wins.** I tried to lose them on the way back. You made it a damn mite hard for me, moving camps, but I think I shook them... I think.... **She starts coughing again, takes a few deep breaths and manages to continue.** There aren't many.... But they're good.... Really good.... But... Guess this was one squirrel to tough for them... **She stops talking, and just lays in Kinnans arms, trying to breath, and waiting.** (NT) -- Astriana, 16:35:38 03/10/02 Sun **Takes a bite out of the scone Aislynn offers before shoving it back into her outstretched paws.** Thank 'e girl **He mutters. The young vole, although he appears too old for his years, hears the pain and concern in his friends voice and he glances up to look into her face. His one eye glitters painfully, whether from anger or pain is unsure but the daggered looks he gives Kinnan. His gaze softens whenever he sees the weak squirrel in the wolf's strong arms and he sniffles. Grunting he wipes the back of his paw over his eyes, rubbing hard.** Ais love... **He pauses, shocked himself at the endearment that just slipped his lips. After thoughtful contemplation he straightens his shoulders and continues** Ais love, I've seen a beast. Somebeast close t'me ole 'eart an' oi were won'erin'... Would y'come an' 'elp me git 'er back. Astri'd know where she is bu' oi don't wan' 'oo 'sturb 'er noaw. **His eyes pleading he puts his sword back in its place and stands shakily to his feet** (NT) -- Rio, 23:21:24 03/10/02 Sun **Eyes Rio curiously, and for a moment says nothing. She takes another nibble of the scone and then finishes it in two quick bites. She drains her water bottle and rises to refil it at the nearby stream. When she returns, she is wearing a traveling pack** Right. So, when do we leave? S'pose we ought to tell them we're leavin'? Eh... Mebbe not. They won't notice... **Adjusts the straps on her pack** C'mon, mate, let's go. OOC: Want to start a separate thread? (NT) -- Aislynn, 14:46:03 03/11/02 Mon **The black squirrel is beside the wolf and other squirrel in an instant, as if he had apparated rather than walked** Movin' camps is supposed to make it a damn mite hard t' find us, if ye'll remember, Astri. **His voice is gruff and face deadpan as usual, but he tosses the medical satchel to Kinnan with an odd glint in his eye.** S'pose ye should heal her, Kinn...someone's gotta train the reccies, and if she doesn't then ye'll prob'ly end up stickin' me with the damned job. You tend t' get upset when half the reccies die in trainin', so she might as well stay alive, I s'pose. (NT) Favre 17:15:50 03/11/02 Mon Re: **A tall wolf strides quickly across the camp and kneels beside Astriana. Nodding to KInnan and Favre, she throws her knapsack onto the ground and begins examinging the squirrel's wounds. She looks back up at Kinnan, a glint in her eye.** I heard you needed a healer, sir. **She begins rummaging through her sack and pulls out various ointments and bandages, applying them gently to Astri's cuts.** Here, now, ma'am, you need something to help you rest. **She takes out a small vial of dark purple liquid. Pulling out the cork, the wolf carefully lifts Astri's head and pours some into her mouth.** Some things will need more time to heal. Once she is asleep, I can stitch the more serious cuts up. **Rising, she gives Kinnan and Favre a proper salute, and smiles slightly.** I'm back, sirs. (NT) Cirla Silverclaw 18:29:04 03/11/02 Mon Re: **Chuckles at Favre as Cirla's medicines first numb the pain before sending her to sleep.** We all know how you'd hate to train the greenies. **Her eyes begin to mist, but the little squirrel fights for another moment.** Rio! Careful, you can't tell where they are until they are on you... Careful... **With those last words, Astriana drifts to sleep, knowing she is back home.** (NT) -- Astriana, 06:29:20 03/12/02 Tue **Doesn't say anything as Rio and Aislynn disappear into the trees, but watches Cirla's doctoring very closely** Mend her well, we need her awake and alert soon to tell us what happened. If it's who I think it is... **He growls menacingly** This is the last thing we need. **Glances down at Astri and then looks to Favre** Well, my friend, looks like the old threat is back. Too bad we didn't have more time to train the rookies, but they're a good bunch and I think they're up for a fight. What do you say? (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 12:02:13 03/12/02 Tue **Waits for Astriana to fall asleep before taking out her needle. The thread is wrapped around her paw and she gently rolls the squirrel onto her stomach so she can get at the wounds on her back. Leaning over Astri, Cirla carefully and quickly stitches her up.** There...almost done. **Finishing her work, she rubs a greasy oinment on Astri's cuts and walks down to the stream to fill a canteen.** She'll be thirsty when she awakes. Won't be long now, though. I didn't give her much of my sleeping draught. **Leans back and waits for Astri to stir.** (NT) -- Cirla, 13:54:42 03/12/02 Tue **Cateye fairly sprints over, eyes sparking with fury** Rr...who the $&%@...Ima beat them so hard they're gonna @!#%!@%$@...No right...En't fair..**clenches her fists** who dunit? I'll kill 'em!!! **spits out the curses, growling** @&!!%@^^#%^!@$^@#$^!! ((mwee, just insert your favorites! ^^)) (NT) -- Cateye, 16:09:13 03/12/02 Tue OOC: Welcome back, Cateye! **Grins** (NT) -- Kinnan Ulfe, 18:39:33 03/12/02 Tue **The lithe wildcat approaches the group quietly and stands in an easy but polite stance before them. She studies Astriana's figure in her own cool, calculating way before clearing her throat and speaking** Ahem. Excuse me, sahs, would you be needing any assiatance from Jack and myself? We're available for anything you need done. **Waits quietly for an answer** (NT) Tarriana J M Gherabago 19:14:42 03/12/02 Tue Re: **A lithe black otter walks in slowly, looking around him. Seeing the wounded squirrel on the ground, and the crowd around her, he steps up.** This is Wave, reporting back sir. I take it we just wait for Astri to wake up..? (NT) -- Wave, 04:27:55 03/13/02 Wed Re: **With a slight moan, Astriana touches one of the stiched up gashes on her back. The pain is leaving though, and now shadows of the mischief lover Astri was once seen as are returning.** Someone do me a fanour and shut that singing squirrel up, he's going to make my headache worse. That's an order, reccies. **Carefully rolling onto her back, the tnit squirrel sits up, pushing the hair normally held back from her face with a headband out of her eyes.** Well Kinny, since I take it you as usual will be organizing defense, whatcha wanna know? **Lines of pain are still in evidence on her face, but some vigor has returned, and she hides her physical condition under a light tone.** (NT) -- Astriana, 09:11:21 03/13/02 Wed **As Astri regains her senses, the wolf sighs, glad that her leader is okay. Leaning back against a tree, she awaits news of Astriana's attackers.** (NT) Cirla 13:07:50 03/13/02 Wed Jack leans against a nearby tree, just out of the shadows, "Personally, I'd like to know who did this to you and why," he pauses, "I might be able to provide some help." (NT) Jack Styles 13:57:45 03/13/02 Wed OOC: I will explain, but I'm starting a new thread... go to the top! (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 14:43:45 03/13/02 Wed
