Author: Rippscarr the Black
Subject: ...

The small black stoat kicked open the door, blown forward by the force of the autumn winds outside. Her black fur was ruffled and windswept, grey-blue eyes reddened and tired. Her light battleaxe was slung across her back, rusting slightly from three seasons of travelling in the rain and on the ocean. She shivered. She was accustomed to the Sampetran climate, where she used to reside, with no cares whatsoever save for a bottle of fiery grog. Then, when her comrades started departing, the ranks slowly depleting, she decided to leave the island, in search for a place with more action.

She wore a dark red bandana bound across her forehead, sitting loosely above her eyebrows. A dark blue sleeveless shirt hung about her thin frame, over which were a variety of belts for her various weapons. Black, tattered pants covered up the majority of her legs. Her arms were scarred, but not overly so-- she played it safe and didn't like to get into any useless fights.

Glancing around, she sighted a few familliar faces. She showed her small, sharp teeth in a happy grin as she waved to everyone who she knew, and everyone who she didn't. Her cheerful disposition wasn't entirely gone, but the long amount of time spent wandering alone had taken its toll on her, and she was not the happy-go lucky stoat she used to be. For one thing, she was slightly more paranoid than before, and slightly less focused on her daily dosage of grog.

**The white furred ermine smirks slightly, always retaining her blue eyes at a narrowed gaze. She glances over her shoulder at the stoat before turning back to her drink** Someone's cheerful.. nice to see an old INSUer over here.. (NT) -- Roth Rouga, 12:04:01 12/11/03 Thu
**Rippers notices the ermine glance at her coldy. She shivered again. She wasn't the most brave of vermin. Covering it up, she sauntered over to the bar, staying as far away from the ermine as possible** Er... er... A grog, if yew dun mind, matey. **she winked at the bartender** (NT) -- Rippers, 12:10:29 12/11/03 Thu
Inside------>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -- i'll let you guess, 17:08:31 12/11/03 Thu
- **her grey-blue eyes widen considerably as she instantly recognizes the familiar figure. Slamming her mug of grog on the counter, she grinned widely** Iceclaw, me ole mucker!! I 'aven't seen yew in ages!! (NT) -- Rippers, 17:28:53 12/11/03 Thu
  - *the black fox walks over, seating himself next to Iceclaw, biting his lip* Lesse...know you from somewhere...*At Ice's comment he smiles* Ripper from INSU? Nice t'see you here. (NT) -- Silvren, 18:14:08 12/11/03 Thu
    - **she grins at the fox** 'Ey, Silvren, long time no see, eh? Where've yew been 'idin' out all this time? (NT) -- Rippers, 12:22:46 12/14/03 Sun
- *Grins and laughs, half-leaning on the bar counter.* 'S been too long, matey! *Leans over, lowering his voice* I'd throw on one of my super-hugs of death for ye, but it's not exactly the place for it. 'Conduct unbefitting of an officer', somethin' like that. So where've you been all this time, Ripp? (NT) -- Icer, 03:53:20 12/12/03 Fri
**Roth grins in her crooked, almost forced way and continues listening** (NT) -- Roth Rouga, 07:47:24 12/12/03 Fri
- *Notices Roth and motions for her to join them* (NT) -- Iceclaw, 12:37:30 12/12/03 Fri
**glances over her shoulder at Roth nervously, noticing Iceclaw motioning at her to come over. She replies a bit distractedly** Er... wot, me? I stayed a' Sampetra fer a few seasons, afore I decided ter travel on, an' all that rot. Spen' two seasons on a godforsaken ship, an' another one trekkin' through this green-brown rot ter get 'ere. **she grinned** All kinda worth it, tho'. (NT) -- Rippers, 20:04:42 12/12/03 Fri
**Roth smirks and picks up her morningstar which had been leaning on the side of the bar. She walks over and stands next to Iceclaw** (NT) -- Roth Rouga, 01:38:01 12/13/03 Sat
- Sampetra's at an all-time low right now, I think. Kez, Bladepaw, Xan, and Saeros are there, and there's two newcomers there, a rat called Firefang and a wolf named Rune, but there's absolutely nothing happening. May as well be deserted. (NT) -- Iceclaw, 08:56:00 12/13/03 Sat
**She speaks grimly** Such is the fate of many a "vermin" site.. (NT) -- Roth Rouga, 05:20:35 12/14/03 Sun
- **she glances nervously at Roth once again, nodding in reply** Aye. (NT) -- Rippers (the terrible conversationalist), 12:42:03 12/14/03 Sun
**Roth smirks in a dark way at Ripp and then grins in her disjointed way** How long were you in INSU then? (NT) -- Roth Rouga, 01:58:35 12/15/03 Mon
- Arr, about twelve seasons, afore I decided ter come 'ere. I thinks I'll be headin' back soon, once things speed up 'round there... **she scratches her chin with a none-too clean claw** ((ooc: That's three years for me... I would have said three seasons, but that sounded too short... >_o Ripp herself is about 27 seaons old...)) (NT) -- Rippscarr the Black, 20:25:48 12/16/03 Tue
  - -- Font Slayer, 20:28:48 12/16/03 Tue
**She nods** I popped in and out.. knew a few beasts from there.. (NT) -- Roth Rouga, 01:20:02 12/17/03 Wed
- Roth, did you know a weasel called Bracken? (NT) -- Icer, 11:08:58 12/17/03 Wed
The name rings a bell... m'not sure **She shrugs** (NT) -- Roth Rouga, 00:26:05 12/18/03 Thu
- *Shrugs* Haven't seen that one in a long while. Or Quickclaw, or Slann, Redeye, Gris, Alihja, Romy, Skar, Lightpaw.....*sigh* I miss the lively INSU. (NT) -- Icer, 16:41:49 12/18/03 Thu
Most have probably grown tired of it.. it's a shame really.. (NT) -- Roth Rouga, 02:38:16 12/21/03 Sun
- Aye, 'tis a cryin' shame. But wid nothin' else ter do aside fr'm quaffing grog an' sometimes a bar-fight 'r two, there en't much to do 'round there. (NT) -- Rippers, 09:19:34 12/23/03 Tue
  - (ooc: You guys are missin' out on what could be a stupendous christmas party! voy.com/14228!) (NT) -- Xan, 06:10:22 12/24/03 Wed
    - ((ooc: I'll get my ass over there, even though it'll contradict Rippers's travels. Ah well... don't want to miss out on the fun. XD)) (NT) -- Rippers, 12:09:03 12/29/03 Mon
