Subject: )Ahoy, mateys! The Prince of Thieves has come( Author: Gonff Patchcoat [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:24:29 11/02/03 Sun Name: Gonff Patchcoat Nickname: Gonff or Patchcoat "Whatev'r ye please." Titles: Prince of Thieves, Master of Escape, King of Spies, Patchcoat the Expert of Camouflage, and whatever else he sometimes adds. Breed: Who knows? Blood: Equine Age: Seven autumns Gender: Steed Coloring: Doesn't have a nickname like "pathcoat" for nothing. His pelt consists of many different shade of browns and grays and other muted colors. The stallion could be standing right before you and you wouldn't see him. History: "Why doncha ask me, mateys?" Personality: Cheerful and silly and always with a song. Reckless and friendly even with his foes. It's very hard not to like him. Treats things like a big joke and is bound to bring a smile or a laugh. Loves to travel and hardly gets caught as he steals tasty vittles from humans and other creatures which makes him the Prince of Thieves. If caught, he somehow escapes easily and no one knows how, especially not having hands and all. Comes from the Northlands and there is warrior training in him but he can usually bluff his way around a fight. Young uns seem to take a liken to this oddly colored beast and he has a great liken for them as well. Ho there, hey there, Friends o'er there, Lend me yore ear. Ho there, hey there! Friends o'er there, Here I come, from where? Donna knows, donna care. Ho there, hey there! Friends o'er there, Lend some vittles here, My stomach is quite bare, Ho there, give a care Yore matey Gonff is here! "Whohahaha..." The jig ended with merry laughter as an oddly colored stallion seemed to have materialized out of the trees. His pelt consisted of many patches of many shades of browns, grays, and other muted colors that made a ideal camouflage. Russet orbs shone brightly as he did a strange dance, careful not to trip, and made his way farther into the domain. Filling his lungs with the fresh air he bowed to an unseen audience and felt obliged to sing another jig: North to South East to West I can't decide Which direction is best. Traveling afar, Traveling near, Hey ho mateys, Gonff is here! Prince of Thieves King of Spies Master of Escape Keep a wide eye For here I come There I was You never knew Just because... I'm Gonff the thief Stealing vittles from you Then laughing merrily Cause you never knew! Blending with the trees Can't catch me Master of Escape Ahoy, that's me! The silly stallion bowed again then pranced about. Grinning to himself he looked about on more time then dropped down the grown and rolled till he was dizzy and boomed with merry laughter. Watching his strange motions one would think him mad, but he isn't... just cheerful whatever the case and extremely pleased with himself for he had just escaped from humans yet again after getting caught stealing a small sack of oats. Lifting his head up he took in his surroundings and in all of his seven years of life he had never seen such a fine territory. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> Subject: )Mighty fine day t' be a-livin', mateys!( Author: Gonff [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:25:33 11/03/03 Mon As the filla approached the cheeky stallion winked at her and grinned as he rose up off the ground. "Ahoy there missie an' sah! A fine day, wouldn't ye say?" Clip-clop went his hooves in tune to another jig that he made up that instant for the filla, Well nev'r, ev'r befor' Did m'eyes ever see Such a pretty miss As pretty as ye! His head tilted back with a thundering chuckle. Then russet orbs and odd colored body turned to the father o' the pretty filla. The stallion grinned charmingly and bowed his fronts to he, "Tell me, sah, ye are a member o' this 'ere domain, eh? Pardon m'manners... Gonff Patchcoat I am. Prince of Thieves, King of Spies, Master of Escape an' so forth. Call me as ye please." [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

"I bet I know more places then ye, dibbun!" He chuckles and rambles off another jig. I'm a horse with a very long tail With a heart and voice to match. I've escaped from the humans' gaol. They'll find me hard to catch. So, away, through the grass, the flow'rs and leaves, Like smoke on the breeze, The Prince of Thieves. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: )The Prince of Thieves honors you tonight!( Author: Gonff [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:29:11 11/16/03 Sun The odd colored stallion rumbled with mirth. He winked slyly at the filla and said secretly, "'Cause I'm the Prince of Thieves and Master of Escape, missie. I've been caught by humans, only cause I was bor'd y'see... then I slip away an' they not know how I did it! T'leggers got stashes o' sweet food I like to nibble on and I often steal some. Well... a matey has t'eat doncha know." He stifled more mirthful laughter as he whispered, "Once I stole the whiskers off a barn cat an' she didn't even notice!" Across the lea, beneath the leaves, When countrylands wake up to spring, Hurrah here comes the Prince of Thieves, Hear every small bird sing. So daring and so handsome too, He makes a wondrous sight, But if he comes to visit you, Lock up your treasures tight! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

He winked at the filla then just as he did…. he was gone. Nowhere to be seen… but his voice was ringing merrily with a song: There was an ole barn cat Named Fearsome Tiger y’know But this here cat was so fat And also so slow That one day as I passed by I got her doozin’ y’see So with a flick o’ m’eye I stole a whisker an’ a flea But this here cat was so fat And was also so slow She never felt it, that’s a fact Because… doncha know… I’m the Swifteye Wonder Traveling the land in search of plunder Canna stop me, by thunder! I’m Gonff the Swifteye Wonder! The stallion then reappeared in view… having used his oddly colored coat to blend in with his surroundings easily. He dropped something from his mouth and it slowly floated to the ground. Oh! It was a hair from the filla’s tail! “Easy m’gel. Jist like I took yore hair… without you feeling it!” He winked slyly at her. Ooc. Most of them I do make up like the one above… which isn’t too good since I’m in a hurry… but the one in my last post was from a book. Now then… I must fly… homework to do doncha know!

"Hmm yes... Lets see 'ere... chest out, stand up straight... eyes forward... that’s right..." He walked a few circles around her then winked. "We can try, mate! But the key t' it all is camouflage... blendin' in wif yore environment, doncha know. Now lets get ye dirty.
