SCENE: Ferravale Marketplace

CHARACTERS: Ferro, a male monitor lizard. Blisa, a female cat; Ferdinand, a male ferret; Clarissa, a female rat. Bandit, a male fox. Various spoofs.

LOG:
Ferro decided to take a walk, he trusts his daughter would be ok with someone as he walked along and most beasts gave him plenty of room, he said an excuse me to a weasel who nodded and turned but seeing a monitor screamed and ran away as Ferro rolled his eyes and stopped to buy some apples and a couple pears.

Blisa sees the fleeing weasel and yells at him to "Get back here!" The Chieftain is dressed in her usual black and has her dirk and dagger hanging from her belt. Ferdinand the ferret and Clarissa the rat, her 2 bodyguards for the day, just watch as the weasel comes slinking back, stuttering about monitors and how we're all going to die horrible deaths until we're dead!!! The young feline rolls her eyes and orders him back to his stand, telling him that he can defend himself (or run away) if he's actually attacked. She then follows him into the Marketplace, her bodyguards trailing behind her. Blisa stops to look at some jewelry that's for sale as the weasel, trembling like crazy, approaches the new Blacksmith and stutters out, "C...c......can I....I h...h...he.....hhelp y.....you, s....sir??"

Ferro folds his arms over his chest "I am zzzzhoping izzzzz alll." The one with the apples and pears just seems happy to sell something to who ever has coin.

Even before the fox reaches the market Bandit knows that Blisa is here. The guards stationed in the area have come to attention even before the Head Guard strolls by. It is most unfortunate for the fleshy fox because he was taking an early break from his paper work by visiting ye local tavern. But maybe, just maybe, if he walks carefully enough and cautiously enough he can slip by with out Blisa noticing him...

Blisa moves on from the jewelry stall without buying anything, stroking the silver locket and carved bone skull hanging from her neck. As Clarissa, with the cat's permission, buys some small nut tarts for them to snack on, Ferdinand spots the Head Guard and nods civilly at him, but that's his only reaction. The Chieftain is oblivious right now about the chubby fox's arrival. The weasel nods, swallowing, and then scuttles off, letting the monitor lizard shop in peace. A young rat, seeming to not be afraid of large lizards with big teeth and claws, comes up and offers him a choice of metal wristbands to decide from! At such a low price, she either stole them or they're not actually metal...

Ferro shakes his head and spots the chieftain and makes his way over to her, she has to be the one in charge seeing as she is one surrounded by guards and the uniform most likely gives it away.

HA! Smiles the fox like one of his glutted brethren inside a chicken coop. He is actually going to get away with sneaking out on his duties! He is scot free so long as no one-
"HEAD GUARD BANDIT! THE BELL TOLLS NOON AND ALL IS WELL." One of the near by Village Guard declares in a loud, ear splitting voice that makes Bandit jump. Tail poofed and fur frazzled he rounds on the guard to give him a menacing death glare. The pine marten only salutes and smiles, knowing full well that he just helped get his boss busted on the job.

Blisa wears black always. Rumour has it that even her nightgowns are black, but no one has any proof of that, and her bodyguards refuse to tell. However, her belt buckle has the insignia of the Ferravale Chieftain on it (as does her cloak clasp, but it's too warm to wear a cloak today), so as the bellow gets the attention of almost everyone here and the young cat turns around, the monitor lizard will be able to see it. Clarissa, after making sure that everything's okay, starts munching on a walnut tart. IT'S YUMMY. The Chieftain waves to the Head Guard. "Ah, Bandit, good to see you." She decides to refrain from making any comments about his size or the fact that he's out for a walk; she needs to try to be more respectful, especially in public. Ferdinand smiles and steps forward to intercept the lizard. "Good day."

Ferro nods "Hello I am the newzzzzz Blacksmith...Ferro izzzzz name. Thought zzzzzhould zzzpeak to chieftain and..." He seems unsure, well they will find out sooner or later "My daughter....lives here as well, zzzzzhe is elsewhere with the Defender's Leader"

The fox seems...stunned. After bracing himself for a verbal assault that never comes. Could it be that Blisa is finally maturing into the leader the village has always wanted?
Bandit smiles faintly, "Good Morning, ma'am. Sir." He says to the cat and then lizard before turning for his back on them. If he says anymore he will be drawn into a conversation he doesn't want to have. But all things considered, at least the cheiftess is acting more like a chieftess. The fox always thought he would have to die first to see this day.
And then, as if struck, Bandit pauses on the street, clutching his heart before collapsing there in front of them.

"Ah! Nice to meet you. I'm Ferdinand, Head of Mith Blitha'th bodyguardth." The ferret holds out a paw and lets the new Blacksmith talk to the Chieftain. Blisa turns and smiles at him. "Hello. My name i---OH MY HEAVENS!! Bandit!" All attention is again turned towards the Head Guard as the young cat rushes over to him after quickly excusing herself from talking to the monitor lizard. Ferdinand gestures for him to follow as he and Clarissa hurry behind the Chieftain; the lizard can talk to the feline when the emergency is over. Kneeling beside the fox's head, Blisa says, "Are you alright??"

Ferro blinks and walks over, he is not a healer so he really couldn't help....well he knows simple things but this is more than a burn or scaped knee as he stands close by and waits to see what is happening

The fox opens his eyes. Blinking repeatedly as he struggles to sit up. "Wha...y-yeah. Fine. S'fine. I...just slipped...on my coffee table." He seems dazed and a little confused. "Just...just need to get ho-" he pauses, clutching his chest. "I can't breath..."

Oblivious as to what made the fox freak out, Blisa sends one of the nearby guards to get a Healer, quick! "Bandit, you're in the Ferravale Marketplace. Focus on my face and try to take a slow, deep breath, then hold it for the count of 3 and let it out slowly." Maybe its an allergic reaction?? She has no idea. Clarissa stands by about as helplessly as the monitor lizard. Ferdinand goes to put his ear against the fox's chest to try and listen to his heart.

The fox shakes his head, "I don't need no bloody healer. I just...got winded is all." The fox begins to stand. He takes one step and collapses face first into the dirt. "Ok." Says Bandit with a muffled voice. "I am ready to go to the healers..."

Ferro watches and shakes his head "Your Head Guard zzzzeemzzzz ill"

A couple of large male fox healers come up, bearing a streatcher. A burly male ermine healer comes up and checks on the Head Guard. "We need white willow bark tea," is all he remarks as they go to stick the ailing fox on the stretcher and drag him off to the Infirmary for care (and nasty white willow bark tea). Ferdinand chews his lip. "Thith ith really bad..." Blisa stands and chews on a claw. "I hope they can help him and he.....he doesn't.....yeah, the Dark Forest doesn't need him yet." Clarissa looks at the monitor. "Well, y'got that right, shipmate! I can only 'ope they can 'elp him...."

And then, finally, Blisa and Ferro can talk.
