Subject: Feast... Author: Kinnan Ulfe [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 12:49:33 08/31/01 Fri OOC: Okay, I'm going to take some liberties b/c I'm a leader-type and can do that, as there seems to be a general lack of activity all of a sudden. I'm making the feast appear out of nowhere, so let's all just assume we broke out the provisions. If anyone has a real desire to cook something, feel free, but for the rest of us, we can go ahead and get started! BIC: **Crosses his arms, gazing at the troops around him, pride gleaming in his eyes. He turns to Favre with a look that clearly says he is going to have his way no matter what, and speaks so that all can hear his deep, rumbling voice** I am hearby issuing the order that the casks are to be opened and the best of everything brought out. Drinks, cheeses (we got those from a raid several months ago, and they are fabulous, let me tell you!), breads, fish if anybeast can catch them quickly, anything you think you might want! **Motions to the larger store-tent where there is a sudden flurry of activity as beasts hurry to bring out everything and lay it all out on a tent that has been laid on the ground to serve as a dort of picnic blanket. Kinnan takes one of his over-sized goblets, fills it with his own string wine, and raises it above his head** Here's to Quanshaire, the best bloody Merc patrol there is! **Drains his goblet and wipes the wine off his lips with the back of his paw** [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date **Rolls his eyes but has no real objections. He strides over to the array of foods and selects a tankard of chestnut ale and a hunk of hard, crumbling yellow cheese. He takes his light dinner over to the trunk of a tree which he leans against, observing his soldiers through his emotionless obsidian eyes** (NT) Favre 14:58:17 08/31/01 Fri *grins broadly, grabbing a mug of ale* Yaharr! To the QMP! To the leaders! *cheers, then downs the mug* Hmm... fish does sound good. First some cheese, though. *chuckles, plotting out his course of action for the feast* Fray Blackwood 14:20:29 09/01/01 Sat **Aya spits on the ground, stretching her back.** A feast? Tch...you guys can if you want, but if they come back, I'm not about to be full and drunk. That's an easy way to get killed. If you need me...I'll be in the trees...training. **with that, she turns and walks up to the nearest tree on the treeline, shooting up it as fast as the squirrel she is.** (NT) -- Aya Seren, 16:34:12 09/01/01 Sat *personally agreeing with Aya, the small vixen snatches herself a mug of ale and retreats to her watch tree, sipping it* Cateye 10:50:37 09/02/01 Sun *Pulls out his chu ko nu, walks to the river and shoot a fish and brings it back to the campsite to be roasted* -- Tangur, 12:34:11 09/02/01 Sun **Bursts out in sudden laughter, watching Aya and Cateye with approval. He grins at Kinnan in an I-told-you-so fashion** See what 'appens when ye try t' throw mercs a feast? **Still chuckling in satsifaction, he swings up into a tree himself, on the south side of the fire circle** (NT) Favre 18:18:45 09/02/01 Sun **Glares at Favre from her position beside her dead father. There is a look of hatred behind the tears, and she speaks through clenched teeth** They won't be back. Not without their leader. **Wipes away a tear roughly with the back of one of her silky paws** And I won't lead a group that's worth nothing more than to run at the first sight of trouble. But go ahead, laugh and joke and eat all you want. Enjoy your victory! **Eyes and voice are full of venom** OOC: Come off it, I'm done. I don't have time to RP that many alts any more, so you don't have to worry about them. You can relax a bit IC if you want... **Shrugs** I was just bored and looking for something to do. I may even join up. This seems to be a nice, active place.... But we'll have to see. (NT) Tarriana 20:48:19 09/02/01 Sun **Limps in, bleeding from a few scratches here and there. She makes a face** Sorry I haven't been here! Some wandering bandits gave me a little trouble. **She giggles wickedly** Not as much as I gave them though! **Winks flirtatiously, then gives a little gasp of delight** Ooh! A feast! How unexpected! (NT) -- Xhoa, 21:02:59 09/02/01 Sun **Heaves a sigh at the melodramatics of the wildcat, and at the lack of good spirits among the troops** You lot don't ever have a spot of fun, do you? One thing I must say, at least I won't worry about sleeping tonight... But I said naught about being drunk. If one draught is all you can handle, Madam Aya, then you have some other issues we might have needs to address at a later date! **There is a twinkle in his eye. He is mislty teasing** As for you, Favre Pinesword, git down offa your pride an'be a little less Evy-licious for once! **Laughs at his own joke, but winces slightly. His leg has gone untreated, but he is unlikely to let any touch him at this point, preferring to shake off the wound as a "scratch" and carry a limp for a bit** Now where's that good fish? Or must I find my own? OOC: To Tarriana-- Aye, it's an active place, but if you want to join, you'll have to apply, same as all the others. (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 21:07:28 09/02/01 Sun OOC: Normally I let my typos slip, but this'n's too horrible... that word in italics isn't supposed to be "mislty" but "mostly".... see if that makes more sense...Sorry. (NT) -- Kinnan Ulfe...again, 21:10:00 09/02/01 Sun (NT) -- ..., 07:17:05 09/03/01 Mon **Finally releases her father's cold paw and moves away from him. Her blazing eyes are now on Favre, the squirrel with the audacity to kill Grisiga. She slinks quietly towards his tree and climbs it as quickly as any squirrel, claws clinging to the branches of the trees. She loosens her grip with her from right paw to draw a dagger and sends it sailing towards the squirrel so that it lands hilt-deep in the branch beside his head** Aren't you even going to appologize? **Eyes flash and teeth are clenched** (NT) Tarriana 07:15:58 09/03/01 Mon (NT) -- --, 13:25:54 12/28/01 Fri *looks around quietly at the feast, and justs sits watching, not saying much but is here non the less* (NT) Frostheart 10:15:39 09/03/01 Mon **The squirrel chuckles, sitting on a thick branch in an overhead tree** I commend you, oh fearless leader. Not only are you big, strong, and fast, but you also know how to crack a decent joke. But you're right though...I never could hold a drought of the fermented stuff. **Snatching a blood-red apple, she jumps down to face him, landing daintily on her foot paws.** But then again...**she smirks** I am just a young 'un. (NT) -- Aya Seren, 14:24:42 09/03/01 Mon *eyes Aya, figuring that she herself is younger than the squirrel, and that it's therefore odd that she can drink but the other female can't* ...eh.. (NT) -- Cateye, 17:59:42 09/03/01 Mon **Winks at Aya, and bows** Thank you for the comliment, my lady! **Grins at Cateye and motions towards Aya** Don't worry, somebeasts just can't take a drink! **Takes another swig of his own draught and laughs a rich, deep laugh** Pass the cup for those who will. Oh, and Fav, I think you've got a bit of company in that tree! (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 20:39:56 09/03/01 Mon **Winks at Aya, and bows** Thank you for the comliment, my lady! **Grins at Cateye and motions towards Aya** Don't worry, somebeasts just can't take a drink! **Takes another swig of his own draught and laughs a rich, deep laugh** Pass the cup for those who will. Oh, and Fav, I think you've got a bit of company in that tree! (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 20:41:01 09/03/01 Mon Sorry for posting twice... (NT) -- K, 20:44:15 09/03/01 Mon Tobit watches the proceedings with an amused look. "Hmm, we may have two dead cats on our hands shortly..." (NT) Tobit 16:39:37 09/04/01 Tue **The vixen pads over to the main group and reaches for some bread to make a sandwich. She puts the fish on the bread along with some white cheese, and takes a big bite, grinning. She looks over at Rio, and motions for him to join her** S'good, matey! **Suddenly catches sight of Xhoa and her eyes narrow** Oh... It's you. I was hopin' th'beasties would've gotten you. **Takes another big bite of sandwich and chews thoughtfully** Don's'pose you... nah, ne'mind. (NT) Aislynn 20:34:56 09/04/01 Tue *cackles, taking a swig of her own ale* Practice practice, sez I! Heh heh heh. (NT) -- Cateye, 06:17:10 09/05/01 Wed *fills a mug to the brim wth ale* "I haven't had any alchol(sp) for about a season and half again." (NT) -- Syran, 14:29:05 09/05/01 Wed **Barely flinching, he yanks the dagger out of the tree, inspects it, and tucks it inside his cloak. He swings around to match Tarriana's blazing gaze with his cold obsidian eyes** An' why should I? 'Twas a fight to th' death, Lady, and one of th' beasts has to die. **eyes narrow** Guess ye never thought that someday it might be yer father, eh? (NT) -- Favre, 17:06:51 09/05/01 Wed **Looks affronted and sticks her tongue out at Aislynn** Thanks for your concern. **Sniffs prissily** No mud this time. It took HOURS to get out of my fur. **Selects a wildberry tartlet and pours herself a glass of black cherry cordial, her choice drink** (NT) -- Xhoa, 15:18:30 09/07/01 Fri **Eyes flash as her dagger disappears into the squirrel's cloak** Because you have left me alone and fatherless. Does that not give you the slightest bit of... anything somewhere near an emotion? **Takes a steady step closer to him** Though I thank you for recognizing my proper title.... Not many do. **Waits for his reaction to this** (NT) Tarriana 15:56:18 09/06/01 Thu **Contently** Nope, none whatsoever. (NT) -- Favre, 18:38:05 09/06/01 Thu **Aya whistles quietly and deeply to herself at Favre's response** I c'n tell I'm gonna like this guy... **She bites into the apple, eating it rather unlady-like** So, Mr. Ulfe, a little breeze told me that there used to be an Assassin's Squad...what became of that? (NT) -- Aya Seren, 20:21:41 09/06/01 Thu **Smiles at Aya** Ah! So we've got an assassination prospect! Good, good. We get asked to do many jobs like that, but that is rather difficult with no assassins, wouldn't you say? **Laughs softly** Aye, that was Evyce's squad. Elusive and deadly. **Eyes her carefully** Why do you want to know? (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 22:38:33 09/06/01 Thu **The squirrel smiles sweetly at him, shrugging nonchalantly** I was just wondering how an assassin could prove herself worthy to head a group like that, since it seems that there currently isn't one. (NT) -- Aya Seren, 14:54:46 09/07/01 Fri **Nods slowly** I see... **Sips his wine thoughtfully, and reaches for some bread and cheese** We may have something for you to do... We get quite a bit of assassination jobs requested... We just might have some work for you to do. **Nods again** Yes, we just might be able to work something out... I am not inclined to re-open the squad yet, but the leaders will certainly discuss it. (NT) -- Kinnan Ulfe, 12:27:03 09/09/01 Sun **Aya smiles sweetly yet again, taking a slight bow.** Thank you, Mr. Ulfe, for taking it into consideration. **She begins to walk away, and notices a big hunk of cheese on the table. After a second of self-debate, she breaks off a piece and turns her head back to Kinnan.** Very much. **She supresses a very uncharacteristic giggle as she wanders back to the tree line, looking for a decent tree to scale.** (NT) -- Aya Seren, 19:25:11 09/12/01 Wed **Eyes Aya for yet longer, sniggering to herself at the sweet smiles and giggles* heh..heh heh... (NT) -- Cateye, 16:45:38 09/13/01 Thu *Green eyes flicker idly as a wolven form appears* -- Tejiva Pawthorn, 18:18:39 09/13/01 Thu **His eyes flick momentarily from Aya to Cateye, a hint of amusment playing there. Then his eyes rest on the green eyes at the edge of the group. He addresses the form with his usual bass rumble** Ah, so good of you to join us. **Motions about him** Please sit, have a drink or food. And introduce yourself so we will all know you and you will not have your throat slit in the night. **There is a smile playing about his lips as he takes another mouthful of his strong red wine** (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 08:37:22 09/14/01 Fri *She turns away from the squirrel and after a low grunt of slight annoyance walks back over to the table and sits. She takes a sip of wine and nods in approval of the taste before speaking* "My name is Tejiva Pawthorn. I'm a new member o the QMP. I fight well and usually dont let my throat find itself in a predicament where it could be cut." *She smirks slightly but chuckles to show that she meant no disrespect to the older and obviously more experienced warrior who had beckoned her over.* (NT) -- Tejiva Pawthorn, 19:59:00 09/14/01 Fri *pulls a face at the obvious and disgusting flattery demnstrated before him* (NT) -- Syran, 13:19:33 09/19/01 Wed (NT) -- ., 15:44:31 09/19/01 Wed **Leans forward, his face smiling but his eyes cold and deadly** Usually is not enough.... **Suddenly his eyes soften in laughter, and his normal cheerful expression returns. He indicates the wine glass in her paw and winks** You like wine, Tejiva? Would you care for something to go with it? (NT) -- Kinnan Ulfe, 09:38:20 09/16/01 Sun Tobit watches the exchange with a look of amusement. "Hmm, I'm rather glad I joined up here...." (NT) Tobit 19:15:33 09/16/01 Sun *She turns slightly in her seat, her eyes merely daring Syran to say anything. Then turning back to Kinnan she chuckles slightly, "Wine is alright in small amounts." She then pauses for a moment, considering his offer, but shakes her head and declines, "In case something should happen within my first days of staying here, I'd prefer not to have my fight weighed down by the food of a large feast." *she indicates the rather large amount of food on the table* "However, I thankyou for the offer." (NT) -- Tejiva, 19:05:42 09/19/01 Wed *Gets to his feet* "Well it was rather disgusting. You've put me off my food for the next week at least! Though that really isn't that hard to manage" (NT) -- Syran, 13:10:05 10/19/01 Fri (NT) -- ., 19:07:20 09/19/01 Wed **Bows and smiles** Probably a wise move on your part. But I always recommend filling your belly while there is food to be had. The next job might not pay so well, you know... **Eyes the spread before the company and sighs** Tis the only trouble being a mercenary. You're never sure when and where your next meal is coming... **Shrugs and takes another draught of wine** But that is the way of it, no? And I wouldn't change it if I could! **Laughs a deep, rolling laugh** (NT) Kinnan Ulfe 19:48:49 09/27/01 Thu *slightly laughs to herself, flicking her tail, knowing she doesn't know where her next meal's coming from anyway* (NT) -- Cateye, 18:55:12 09/28/01 Fri Oi boss! **Rio cups his paws around his mouth and calls loudly to Kinnan** Is an old employ welcome or is this strictly members only. **Winking at Aislynn he makes his way closer to the huge wolf. The vole looks tiny compared to him but his cheeky grin doesn't fade** (NT) -- Rio, 00:35:56 10/02/01 Tue **Winks at Rio and motions him over to her** I'm sure you c'n fit over here! C'mon, have a drink! **Reaches for a glass and takes another bite of sandwich** (NT) Aislynn 15:34:12 10/02/01 Tue test -- ..., 18:41:40 11/04/01 Sun
