Training Recruits- LP LOG

WHO:

Elbio- Ensign and soon Redwall Resident Hare,Fightet

Quinten- Recorder and General

Group of 5 recruits- spoofed

LOG:

Elbio is on shore and stuck with the 5 worse recruits in history. They won't listen to orders, one just rolls thier eyes...wait one is least listening some, they just are not good at situps. The ensign sighs " Why....why theese 5 for the next 2 weeks" So far this test see if can handle a small group....is a failure

Quinten comes walking down the beach from the North, the General is on his way back from Halyard, accompanied by Lieutenant Wetworth and his patrol. Their hands are free and ready to fight at a moments notice but Quinten has a large basket in one hand. Upon seeing Elbio and his recruits he changes direction and starts to move toward them, curious to see how he is getting on and scare the hell out of the recruits, he's well aware how awful these five are.   

Elbio is so far failing at the scare part, maybe he just needs pratice as this is new to him as well.He clears his throat" Ok listen up you all need to be ready to fight " One just rolls thier eyes." Oh yezh danger for miles." He chuckles at this, " I say your no fun and why call ya sur fer..huh?" The one doing sit ups speaks " He is an Ensign..." .." No one asked you Pog shut up."   

Lieutenant Wetworth takes his queue from Quinten, the old home guard Lieutenant is one of Quinten's chief staff officers and he sends his patrol to stand watch onthe perimetre and lopes forward quickly. "Ensign Elbio... fall your recruits in! Surprise inspection!"

Elbio is surprised by the Lt entry, he salutes " Yes sur..." A glace at the 5 recruits,." Ya heard him stand at attention!" ..4 do, Sid...does not,he just smirks " No thanks, I need a break"   

Quinten says, "Do you now," Quinten says as he strolls up and places his basket down, he is dressed in his full uniform and stares down at Sid, his ears standing tall, "A break you say..." he marches forward and stops before Sid, "So you think joining the Long Patrol is a joke? That putting the lives of your squad at risk because you can't be bothered is funny? Well.... if that is your attitude, I'll process your washing out of the recruit programme here and now and you can go home. I am sure everyone will be impressed with how you washed out of the Long Patrol because you couldn't be bothered."

Elbio watches as Sid just snorts at the General, the other 4 recruits gasp as ok they are bad at following orders but...this...nope, Sid laughs" Thr patrol is a joke maybe I willl leave, who needs ya losers." He walks off, the other 4 recruits look at Elibo as if what now. He clears his throat." The patrol is not a joke." He resists a sudden urge to go punch Sid. He looks to the 4 recruits that are still here" Ok..so your stuck with me 2 weeks...I expect you try your best please...we...we can get through this next two weeks right?" He is,surprised at a yes sur and smiles.   

Quinten shakes his head, "Very well," The older hare says, "Consider yourself dismissed, you may enter the mountain to collect your belongings and then leave," he motions, "Private Gemini, please escord Sid to his barracks, see he takes only his stuff then escort him back out of the mountain."   

He then puts Sid out of his mind and turns to stalk along the line of the othe recruits, "So you four intend to make a go of it do you?" he barks orders, stand straight, chins downs, ordering them to stand correctly and straight, "The patrol is a family, we all rely on each other from me in my office seeing to paperwork to you recruits. Every member of the patrol is part of an ancient and honoured force and I will not let anyone join our ranks who would shame us and our venerable institution before Lord Ciocan."   

He turns and walks over to stand next to Elbio, "We are the Long Patrol, our duty is to keep the peace, we fight to protect these lands in the name of his Lordship and all free beasts everywhere. We keep the shore safe from mauraders and looters. Your training here is not a joke, is not a fun walk along the beach, if you are serious you will listen to Ensign Elbio, you will do as he says and know that I will be watching."

Elbio stands up strighter as the General speaks and the recruits listen. They nod a few tinee3. " Under stood sur" They reply. Elbio nods" Seeing the patrol as family sounds nice sur. "   

Quinten nods his head toward the hare who spoke then smiles, "Now ordinarily if you spoke to an officer without being asked a question I'd be sending you on twenty laps of the mountain." he shakes his head, "But I was like you once, I was a recruit then a private. I worked my way up to General, I was shocked the day Lord Ciocan asked me to replace old General Ativar when he retired."   

Elbio listens closely, the recruits seem impressed with this. Elibo keeps in mind laps around the mountain as he is to train these 4 hares best he can, for now a couple weeks. If all goes well maybe see them to Private before he heads to Redwall in the spring.   

Quinten moves up and down the line once more, inspecting and handing out advice on their uniforms and then steps back, "Well Ensign, I hand them all over to you, I will be back down tomorrow an hour before dawn to observe their and your training regieme." The general doesn't often have time to watch every recruit drill but this is Elbio's test too, resident hare and ambassador to Redwall, that's quite a job he needs to be sure Elbio is up to it, not just anyone gets to join the Abbot's closest advisors.   

Elbio salutes Quinten." Yes sur. I will make sure they are ready" He had before the General arrived showed the recruits how to do sit ups and push ups, he makes a mental note to write up a drill plan for his report.   
Quinten steps back and murmurs, "I'd have a word with Felicity about exercise routines and drill practice, she's quite good at it." he then nods, picks up his basket and resumes his walk toward the mountain with Liteutenant Wentworth and his patrol falling in around him.   

Elbio nods, he starts to ask how she is and decides not to , if he was unable to speak to her there was others and maybe even reports to read on the subject." ok 1 lap then head inside" He makes sure all is well. then heads inside as well.
