LOG:

Oz whimpers as he is in some sort of...crib made of a barrel, two weasels look down at him and each other "Ummmm...what he want?" The other shrugs and offers him wood pigeon and sea weed ale"Maybe he wants food...."   

Leigh is on the deck being forced to help clean when she sees this "You DONT give a baby that sort of stuff,are you insane?" She frowns and backs up a little, likely not the best plan to speak out to these VERMIN.
   
Kurgan comes out of the captain's quarters and walks over"Wots all this gibber...gabber?" He looks at the rats,to Oz and to the shrew, back to the rats"Why are you morons near my son?"   

Oz cries a little at the arguing, he sniffs the meat and ale and makes a face...that smells gross and so he wails loudly.The two weasels blink "Umm...its loud" "Yeah...we can make it.."One picks him up only to drop him, luckily on soft pile of rags,the cub whimpers and rolls over to crawl over to hid behind a nearby barrel.Not that he crawls too fast yet he is just learning to crawl.   

Leigh stays close, when Oz is droped she carefully goes over to check on him but keeps her distance from Kurgan.   

Kurgan narrows his eyes and grabs the throat of each weasel and looks at them coldly, he smiles coldly"Oh do speak...please explain this course of events"
   
The two weasels gulp and shiver,they know better than to try and get loose "Ummm.....ummm we..we won't do it again..c..captain" .."Yeah boss not agin we will stay clear of the strip hound.."
   
Kurgan nods and is calm, that's dangerous "I believe you, you won't do it again...but I want to help you keep that promise" He is an expert at hidden weapons, the bracers on his wrist in fact...he lets his grip on them become less and then presses his wrists against their throats, hidden daggers as he drops the ...very dead weasels and walks over to pick up Oz from behind the barrel.   

Oz whimpers some as he is found an picked up, oddly calms a slight bit when it's kurgan he sees.He looks at the weasels but is a bit young to understand they won't be getting back up.   

Leigh gasps in shock and horror but stays where she is, too afraid to move from her spot but she does keep a close eye on the ferret.   

Kurgan looks at the shrew "You...slave...follow me, I need to check on the other captives"   

Leigh has her brave times as she straightens up "My name is Leigh...not slave.And ...and ..and I hope someone stabs you one day and sooner rather than later"   

Kurgan narrows his eyes and walks over,"Your name is dead if you don't go downstairs...slave, I hold the power of life and death over you!" He storms down the steps to below deck, the shrew best follow or...well his mood is not good right now.   

Oz clings onto Kurgan and once down the stairs peeks around a little.   

Leigh gulps, she is brave and would say something back but...no she can't risk death,she follows him down the steps to the deck below and stays quiet by his side.   

Squirrelbabe is suffering from a minor concussion, all thanks to Mister Jerkface, Kurgan. She is slightly woozy, but she's been feeling a lot better than she did on Sunday. The other Dibbuns whimper as the slaver comes down the stairs, but the Ringleader gets to her feet and shakes a fist at the ferret, her legs spread wide to counteract her dizziness. "You let Ozzy go ow I bite you ovvew paw off!!"   
Kurgan smirks "No...brat, I give the orders around here...your life is in my paws and I am sure Mistclaw will thank me for keeping you in order" He keeps Oz with him, he even has made a sling for him, how.....nice?He looks to make sure the sherw is here and smiels at her, motions for her to sit down on a bench.   

Oz sees Squirrelbabe and giggles, tiny paws reach out and darn she is so far far away.He frowns now and whimpers.   

Leigh slowly sits down and watches the ferret,unsure of his plans and dosnt dare ask either.   

Squirrelbabe scowls and crosses her arms. "You a meanie shtoopidface," she informs the ferret. But then she badger, and her demeanour changes. Smiling really big, she waves at him. "Hi, Ozzy! How you? What a sweet baby!" She's trying to make sure he still likes her, in the hopes he will stay good.   

Kurgan grins and snaps a slave collar around the shrew's neck "You get to stay down here...congrats" He backs up again and looks at the dibbuns "We will soon be near a meetup place so you best behave and stay quiet or your be quiet cause your die"   

Oz smiels back at the squirrel dibbun and sees Leigh, reaches for her and then as the ferret backs away he whimpers a bit.   

Leigh smiles at Oz then gasps as the collar snaps around her neck,"W..what..."She is concerned why down here, she had been on deck above, guarded at all times and down here usually to feed the dibbuns sometimesand made to go back up.   

Squirrelbabe scowls. She doesn't really care why the shrew is being made to stay down here -- she's too young to understand that it could be because they're being followed or something. All she can think is that the ferret is being a jerk once again. "Why you no let da shwew hold Ozzy? He wants to say hi."   

Kurgan glares at the squirrel "She is not needed ...Oz is with me now, at all times..my son and I choose who helps me with him, if anyone sides...." He grins "He doesn't need to have you or the shrew as a friend, gonna teach him hate and my ways after all....when he is an adult he will only want to hunt, capture and enslave his fellow woodlanders...prehaps kill even"   

Oz yawns a little as he is tried, luckily he doesn't understand a word the ferret says yet.He can ony tell when he is moody or...well happy, if vermin can be happy.   

Leigh blinks and starts to cry, she glares at the ferret but doesn't say anything, she has to stay alive...help the dibbuns best she can.   

Squirrelbabe is shaking with fury. She's too young to understand consequences, so she acts and speaks without thinking. "Ozzy nevew gonna do dat! He a Wedwall cweatuwe, and he be good fowevew! Mawtin won't LET 'im be evil! An' one day you be chopped up inta SOUP an' Ozzy will go back to Muvvew Kwisha, an' he be good!" She tries hard to say that in a way that won't make the badger cry, since mentioning the word 'mommy' made him upset the other day.   

Kurgan chuckles "He has no mother...I am his father and the only other thing is an aunt"He smirks "Auntie Mistclaw"
   
Oz whimpers a little bit and yawns as he looks close to falling asleep and likely will soon.   

"Y're a jerk. Not even yer real kids would grow up t'like you" comes the angry little voice of Isa as all the arguing had woken her up not long ago. Her tail twitching irritably as she's moved enough to glare at Kurgan.   

Squirrelbabe is obstinate and brave and obnoxious and disobedient. All qualities that make her a little hellion at the Abbey, but are also making her a great little leader in this crisis. "You no his daddy, and dat shtoopid foxie ain't 'is auntie! His pawents aw Kwisha an' Xandew, an' his auntie is..." Well, neither of those badgers have siblings. But she's not stuck for long. "His auntie is DwowaWose, an' she gonna find you an' chop you 'ead off an' FEED it to you!!" Which wouldn't work, but Dibbuns don't necessarily think of things like that.   
   
Kurgan chuckles "That so...welll he won't be seeing them again, will he...he is mone now" He looks around and grins "An I suppose you all belong to Mistclaw, doesn't mean I can't boss you around though and keep ya quiet when needed." He rocks oz and smiles at him "Your say dada soon wont you"   

Oz blinks, the smile makes him smile as he makes spit bubbles as well.Another yawn.   

Isa sits up, snorting at the ferret while she tries to push some of her fluffy fur in to place as it's sticking out at all sorts of angles after sleeping on the floor "Y'don't boss us around. The only reason we're 'ere is the chains. /Yer/ doin' nothin'" she's just woken up and she's grumpy.   

Squirrelbabe likes grumpy Isa when the kitten isn't aiming her grumpiness at her! "Yeah!! You just let us out an' I SHOW you just 'ow you not da boss o' us!!" She shakes a tiny fist at him, then stumbles slightly because of her dizziness. But she just rights herself and sticks her tongue out at him in defiance.   

Kurgan says, "I am in control of yoy brats, your all going too far away for anyone ta find you"He makes a face at the bubbles and places Oz in the homemade sling he has and if any of the vernmin sidekicks laughs,they get stabed."   
Oz blinks slowly and yawns, sleep another past time he likes.
   
Isa wrinkles her nose at Oz because she at least finds spit bubbles to be gross but most of her attention is reserved for Kurgan. She is concerned when Squirrelbabe stumbles which is weird because she doesn't usually like the dibbun but she gets as close to the squirrel as her chain allows, mocking Kurgan on the way with an extra whiny impression of him "I'm in control, so in control. I gets more in control when I say it twenty times" her voice returns to normal "Shut up" she tells him.   

Squirrelbabe bares her teeth at him. "You no in control o' me! You twy it an' I bite you throat out!" Her dizziness is increasing the more she stands, and she's starting to weave a little. But Martin said to be brave and to show the other Dibbuns how to be brave, so that's what she's trying to do. Even though she has a horrible headache.
   
Kurgan growls at Isa and looks ready to slap her in fact."Ha ha...I will just let Gorax deal with you"He might just have to tell Mistclaw to slip these brats some sleeping herb when they head to the ship , yes ...that will be good.
   
Isa stands firm when Kurgan looks like he might hit her, trying to hide a trace of fear as she remembers being hit before. Thankfully he leaves instead and she gives him a satisfied smirk in case he looks back but as soon as he's out of sight she deflates, actually looks scared for a second and then brings her tail around to hold on to it for comfort. She's trying not to lose her nerve.   

Squirrelbabe shakes a fist at his retreating back. "I gonna get you someday! You see!" Once he's gone, she weaves a little more, looking distinctly unwell. But she is determined to do as Martin said and not show her fear or weakness so the other Dibbuns have someone to look up to. She turns and sees the kitten deflating, and she stumbles a little as she walks over to her. "Hey, you weally bwave. We show 'im he no da boss of us!" The Ringleader sits down. "How you doin' wif gettin' dat nail outta da wood?"   

In the middle of the slaves is a small hare dibbun, only a couple seasons old and has been afraid of every sound she hears.
   
Isa tries to hide her fear before she looks at Squirrelbabe "'e's just stupid" she mutters quietly before looking at the nail she was working on "It's not comin' out easy" she extends her claws to crouch down and scratch at the wood but she's already broken two of the claws on that paw trying..."He hit yer head funny...tha's bad" she says quietly but as if she knows what she's familiar with concussions but not what they're called.   

Squirrelbabe bites her lip. She really isn't doing very well. "I...." she tries to be strong, but she really is dizzy. Not very much, but definitely a little. "I dizzy, but I be's okay soon," she says, trying to make sure everyone sees her as strong. Pointing to the nail, she suggests, "Maybe twy diggin' da wood away, instead?" She waves to the haremaid. "You okay?"

The hare frowns " I want daddy...where daddy go."   

Isa frowns slightly "I am diggin' the wood. It's hard" she protests quietly. It would probably go faster if she was a big adult cat but her claws are not are strong. She pauses to watch Squrrelbabe for a moment then glances around, thinking before she speaks "Try puttin' the chain on yer head. It's cold. Cold stuff helps a bit" she says before looking to the hare with a small frown "Y'dad ain't here...no one's is...They'll steal us back so we can go home though"   

Squirrelbabe tries the kitten's advice and is pleasantly surprised with how well it works! She nods (and regrets it). "Yeah, you daddy ain't hewe, but he gonna come save you, just like ouw fwiends fwom Wedwall aw gonna come save us!" She has no idea that the leveret's father is actually dead. "But we twy to help keep you safe, wight, Isa?" Wow, she actually knows the cat's name! Go figure.
   
Isa knows a thing or two about getting hit, mostly from her mother though since she took the brunt of things. She nods a little at the squirrel "Yeah...we'll try" she tries to sound confident with limited success. There's a long pause where she's thinking before she mutters quietly "Wish mum was here" she takes a deep breath and starts scratching at the wood around the nail again "...We needs a plan fer when we get out...and it has t'involve gettin' Oz back"   

Squirrelbabe frowns. "Oh, uh, yeah, a plan." She's a Dibbun, they usually don't do very well in the whole 'thinking ahead' department. "Uh.....well, I fink we should wait 'til dey asleep. We can shmack any gwon ups who be's awake wif chains. I can wip da shtoopidhead fewwet's head off while you get Ozzy." She's not quite old enough to think through the consequences of the sound of chains hitting people...or about the fact that killing someone without a weapon is way harder than it seems.   

Isa just knows that outside the door are more slavers who won't just let them walk past. She looks thoughtful of Squirrelbabe's idea but frowns slightly because fighting the vermin was currently sounding scary. Suddenly she looks up, the end of her tail raising like a lightbulb (Or period appropriate alternative) just went off. She smiles a sly little smile "They made us sleep with somethin' t'get us here. Maybe they have more"   

Squirrelbabe is mad enough she kind of wants to murderify all the bad guys. But at the cat's suggestion, a truly evil smile spreads over the DAB Ringleader's face. "Oh ho ho ho ho, yes! Da's pewfect! Give 'em a taste o' dey own med'cine!" And she's had plenty of 'medicine' from Angela, so she knows how nasty it can be. "Den we can get Ozzy and escape an' no get huwt!" She then drops her chains away from her head and looks at the cat with mild surprise. "You weally smawt."   

The hare dibbun just curls up and sniffs, she falls asleep.

Isa's tail sways as a little grin starts to appear "Yeah...and then we chain /them/ up...and we take them t'the grown ups and prove we never need a bedtime again" she blinks though and is distracted when she realises Squirrelbabe, /the Squirrelbabe/, gave her a compliment. She's taken by surprise "Um...thanks"

Squirrelbabe grins, then yawns. "Yeah...an' we prove da DAB isn't /all/ bad, an' den da Abbot no make us bweak up!" But then she is thanked -- her, the Ringleader of the most feared Dibbun group of all time! "Um, us, yeah, suwe." She doesn't know how to respond to that. But then she yawns again and lays down, curling her tail under her head like a pillow. "I's tiwed. Wakie me up if dey come back." And after a few minutes she is asleep, the one place where she can escape her headache and dizziness....   

Isa doesn't have a particular care for the DAB because she's not part of the group since she's just the weird kid without friends usually but her no bed time platform is certainly in line with their cause. It gets all awkward as they're nice to each other but thankfully Squirrelbabe breaks it by getting sleepy. Isa nods quickly "Ok, sure. I will" she'll also sit up to keep an eye on the squirrel sleeping because injured heads are bad but if something actually did happen she still wouldn't know what to do.
