Log:

Ewan was sitting in here, it took him some time to calm down but he did and now he was trying to relax and read a book, he found one that seems fine on some history of famous hares.

Felicity comes walking into the library, muttering something about research and how it's not all her fault. She stops when she notices someone else in here. "Oh, 'ello, Ewan, was it? I say, do y'know anythin' about the company we apparently 'ave? I was....doin' somethin' in the dungeon an' so 'ave no idea what's goin' on." That 'something' happened to be 1) returning from a patrol, 2) being told that her sister has been missing for 3 days, and 3) finding said sister in the depths of the mountain's basements, where all the creepy spiders live. This 'something' may or may not have included the discovery of a rat skeleton. Yay.

Ewan jumps slightly and then nods "Yes...ummm from Mossflower. You didn't hear of the fight on the beach or the monitor that Lord Ciocan was fighting, and how this one hare shot the monitor with an arrow and if he had not its possible, well maybe possible...Lord Ciocan could of died....or gotten hurt...I don't know..it was too scary and then the whole suddenly jumping into the sea and...and saving someone...and like....too much happen and my eyes were closed a lot"

Felicity frowns slightly, and sits beside the much newer Long Patrol member. "I say, that does sound pretty scary, wot! Was it yah firhst battle?" She can deal with the whole guest thing later. Right now, she has a shaken-up comrade who sounds like he needs someone to talk to.

Zolomon walks in and goes to one of the shelves quietly as he is on a mission to find something and he is sure it is here somewhere, if the one hall in the hall told the truth he is in the right area of the library...he hopes.

Ewan frowns "I am..not sure call it a blooming battle, I didn't do much his Lord ship fought the monitor and the n they was the rats..Honeyfur shot one of them and the other ran away...and "He blinks as he sees Zolomon and blinks again and points "He...He killed the monitor with...with an arrow and from like a long ways off..you can ask him I am not lieing trust me"

Felicity raises an eyebrow, then glances at the Abbey hare. "Oh, I do believe you, laddie buck. I say, chap," She says to the newcomer, "Need any 'elp, thar, wot? I've, uh, 'elped" (had to help) "Reshelf the books in 'ere, so I 'ave a pretty good idea of where they all are." She goes to pat the other Private's back and says casually, "So, I 'ear y'shot a monitor? Fightin' a monitor is interestin'. Done it meself a couple o' times. Not fun."

Zolomon frowns"It almost killed me friend, thought it had....no matter the scum tis dead now" He finally finds what he was looking for, well one way to sort of get his mind off things "Nope..found it..Jake Scioto Lafur Foreston Lakewood Johnson..the third..was a hare here while back, was kicked out ...had a son here but guess he left and no one knows where he went...somewhere...."He keeps turning till he finds one other and frowns "And...me mom....though records are wrong on her..part way...".

Ewan frowns "F..fight a mo..mo..monitor, ya insane they eat hares and have claws and fangs...and real scary and this one had a poison dagger he wanted to use and didn't or least someone said it was poison and..and" And breath, yes remember to breath"They are just not something to go near ever"

Felicity sniffs and stands. "The blaggard had murdered m'uncle. Y'don't let the killers o' yer fam'ly get away without justice, wot!" Or is it vengeance? "'Sides, when ye're in tha Long Patrol, you don't let a little fear stop y'from keeping those who're weakah than you safe." She then softens and adds, "But fightin' isn't for everybeast. An' there's no shame in that." She walks over to the Abbey hare and peers at the book he's looking at. "'Ow d'y'know the records are wrong? An' who was this Scioto creatah? I thought Scioto was the fathah o' the Chieftain o' Ferravale in Mossflowah Country."

Zolomon says, "Sorry...first name was Jake...then de rest is the name"He sighs the first part was said softly, "Jake Scioto Lafur Foreston Lakewood Johnson...grandfather of mine....no relation ta de cat...hee"He manages a small smile but frowns "Me best pal is in your infirm cause of the monitor...we....we thought me pal was dead but he wasn't""

Misu walks into the library and frowns "This place needs windows...there is very few....and the only reason he isn't dead is cause that one super tall badger jumped into the sea and got him out...how he was alive is odd."She was glad he was alive don't get her wrong, just her tone of voice always sounds bored.

Ewan says, "That would be Lord Ciocan...and yes he is very tall..8.6 feet in fact"

The door opens once again, this time followed by the head and ears of a hare. "Er, suppose this is a good time?" Terrence asks, looking at those already inside. W ether it is a good time or not, he steps in, anyway. He nods to Ewan and Felicity, fiddling with papers in his paws - something that he seems to have a lot of nowadays. He looks at the visitors to the mount, saying a greeting. "Well then. I suppose it doesn't really matter, now, does it..."

Felicity smiles slightly. "That's alright, chap, no big deal. We 'ares 'ave so many names, 'tis easy to forget one or 2 ev'ry once in a while. 'M sorry about yer friend. 'E's in good paws 'ere, though, so I'm sure 'e'll get bettah very quickly, wot!" Glancing at the otter, she frowns slightly. What's with the monotone? "Aye, all beasts on the side o' good are lucky when m'Lord Ciocan shows up, lassie." Aaaand then there was the Corporal! "Oh, 'ello, thar, Terrence. We 'ave some guests from Redwall stayin' with us, wot!"

Zolomon nods a hello and answers the one question, "And ta answer de one question...Kiara was her name, me mom...says she went insane and was never seen again her and one other hare out of 20 survived a monitor attack led by some chap named Stormfeather..me mother was..yes slightly shaken up..maybe some mental issues after that but she lived, she meet me dad and...well they had me..me dad left and never returned one day when I was just a dibbun, me mother died some seasons ago sadly."He nods "Yes ...from Redwall me...Misu here...a rabbit named Rupert, a hamster named Ximena...and me pal Xander"

Misu waves as she sits down"This library is much much bigger than Redwall's.....it needs a window though, windows are nice you know"

Ewan frowns and just stays off to the side, he just stays quiet and straightens up a little when Terrance enters.

Ah. Grim recalling. Terrence pauses before stepping further into the room, as he has a lot already on his plate. "So I've heard." Terrence replies, finally, seemingly deciding to pull the pin and throw himself into the conversation. "Suppose I'll be seeing you lot more and more in coming weeks, eh?" He adjusts his spectacles, peering at Zolomon, but saying nothing more about it. "Windows are bloody well hard to cut when the wall is several yards of solid rock, y'know."

Felicity decides to just let the Corporal deal with the otter. They can....work it out about the whole window thing. Instead, she shudders slightly. "That sounds bloody terrifyin'. I was a monitor's captive for a while, an' I still 'ave nightmares 'bout it." She glances at the younger Private and adds, "Sometimes the enemies y'fight just stay with ya forevah, wot."

Zolomon says, "Well I would hope we are not here weeks chap, we can't stay that long..couple weeks at de most""

Misu shrugs as she listens "Who knows what the horde will have done by the time we get back, maybe everything will be gone...though I do hope not"

Nodding, Terrence says, "Well, yes - word is you lot are here for help, no?" He spares a brief glance at Felicity, his brow furrowing. He opens his mouth as if it to say something, but stops, instead, after a moment or so, he turns to Misu, saying "Ah. Of course -Hopefully not." He pauses for a moment. "Admittedly I most likely wouldn't be going, but that's another issue entirely." The corporal shrugs, muttering, "Bloody sarge with his bloody obsession with perfection...bah."

Felicity looks between everyone. "Wait, whot's 'appening that brought you lot 'ere?" She just realized that she has literally no idea what they're talking about. "What 'orde? What are they doin'? Oh my 'Eavens, is Redwall undah attack??" And this is what she gets for not asking questions first.

Zolomon says, "Well not yet...then again it may be by now no bally way t find out yet"

Misu frowns and just looks at a book on, let's see here is one on longbows..cool

Ewan says, "The abbey...like Redwall Abbey....under attack? That's...like bad""

"No good speculating then, is it?" Terrence says, looking from one beast to another. "Bad. A bit of an understatement there, there, isn't that? Anyway..." He blinks, looking at Ewan and Felicity. "How did I know about this before you too? I've been bally-well smothered by a mountain of paperwork and I managed to hear /something/ about it!"

Felicity looks offended and angry. "I was on patrol and then 'ad to spend a solid day lookin' for my baby sistah in the tunnels and such below the mountain! I 'AD TO MAKE 'ER PUT A RAT'S SKULL BACK WHERE SHE GOT IT!!! I 'ave lit'rally /no/ idea of what's been goin' on fer th' past 3 days, wot!" She looks back to the Mossflowerians. "Is there a crazy beast who is wantin' to take all o' Mossflowah captive again?" YES, AGAIN.

Zolomon sighs "We had a bally rude Assassin come after us...tried ta murder us"He frowns and looks away as his ears droop "I would say I could of stopped it if not left me post but then again...may of gotten worse had I stayed"

Misu blinks "A rat scull really? She still have it...can I see it?" Yeah she wants to see it, it sounds neat to her.

Ewan backs away from the otter maid and frowns. He clears his throat "So...we need like lots of hares to go help Mossflower...right, then maybe that is why his lordship is busy today and not be distribute..plans and such?"

Terrence shrinks away from the wrath of the irate private, instead (thankful for something to avoid further disaster in that regard) the corporal raises an eyebrow at Zolomon's boast. "Do you now?" He gives the otter a look of bewilderment. Again, he opens his mouth to say something - but thinks better of it, shaking his head. Let the morbid otter be, he thinks, turning to the unirritated private. "Right, Ewan. Exactly."

Felicity glares at the otter and shrieks, "O' COURSE NOT! I made 'er put it back, reported it t'my Sargeant, who then forced me to come in 'ere an' do the research on invading rats that I 'AVE YET TO DO!" She looks at the Corporal and says, "I'm gonna volunteer t'go, wot! I 'ave some friends who live there, an' I bally sha'n't let them stay in 'arm's way!" Forget the fact that the main one is DoraRose Strongheart, who is pretty capable of taking care of herself in most cases.

Misu shrugs "Just asked and I wonder how many hares would come help and march to Redwall, like a lot or just a few?"

Ewan shrugs "Tis hard to tell...I..I could maybe go and maybe Honeyfur, she may go, she is a a healer and battles need healers as welll, right?"

"Don't really think any of us hares have much of a choice in the matter, wot..." Terrence mutters user his breath, then, louder, "You know how the sarge is. We're going, more likely than not." Looking at the otter as he says it, he adds, "Two patrols worth, at the very least - and our sarge'll probably have us carry all the kit for it. Maybe make us sprint while doing so. No, I don't think you'll have to volunteer, Lissie. Unless..." He trails off, thinking then says, "Well, hopefully that won't happen! You Redwallers need all the help you can get, eh?"

Xander walks to the doorway and just watches the others for now. He has on a long nightshirt still that hides a couple bandages . He frowns and just listens for now.

Zolomon asks, "Wot two patrols worth then? "He doesn't see Xander yet, "Is that a lot? I do wish listened more ta me mother she knew patrol stuff..always thought of jolly well joining..maybe"He seems unsure.

Misu says, "We need a lot of hares more than likely..."She does see Xander and nods a hello to him from where she sits."

Ewan sighs, he blinks when he sees the badger and speaks "Someone woke up, that's good right...your friends were worried especially him" He points to Zolomon

The Corporal now has Lissie's full attention. "Unless whot, wot? Whot 'opefully won't 'appen??" She notices the badger and smiles slightly. "Xandah, laddie buck, good to see you! I 'ear that there's trouble in Mossflowah again?" Straight to the point, this hare.

Turning as the door opens once again, Terrence starts to snap to attention, as seeing the form of a badger is drilled into him as being the lord. But the nightshirt... and posture... He catches himself before completing, instead awkwardly waving the paw that was about to make a salute. Not the smoothest of recoveries, but it functions. "Hello there. From Redwall, I presume?" The corporal asks, while turning to answer the non-patrol hare's question. "Yes. A patrol should be about 14-16 hares, or what not." As for the patrol hare's question, well... "Well. Eh. Sergeant Laskey. Well." He gives a fake cough. "Ehem. Well, he's not too fond of how we - his group - have been carrying on for a bit." He raises a paw in advance of what he expects might be another outburst from Felicity. "-Not saying that /you/ haven't been doing well, though -but the, uh, others.... Hence the whole, eh, well, carrying the rest of the battle group's kit. That would be the good option. The other..." The corporal makes a vague gesture to the ground and walls and..stuff. "Well. You can bloody well guess what that might be." Hopefully. /Hopefully/.

Xander nods as he stands up better "Yes..there is" He still is a bit tried and sore as he looks around "No trouble on the way...cept towards the end with a monitor and...how did I get inside anyways last thing remember was..."He frowns, he rather not really remember the over turned ship, the storm or the monitor at all."I do remember hearing..Ciocan..I think..not sure"

And the badger will soon be attacked again, with a fierce hug and one very relieved hare, Zolomon "XANDY!" He frowns and nods "Lord Ciocan jumped into the water and then came back out with you...and you were not moving and I bally well thought ya died!!!"He smiles now "But then you coughed and was awake..a moment and then passed out and Lord Ciocan jolly well carried you inside and I stayed at ya side...till the rude healers kicked me out of the infirm"

Misu just stays where she is "Well he is ok, that's good...see you were worried for nothing he didn't die...good now your wont be all annoying now"She thinks on that "As annoying now"

Ewan nods "I was there..I remember it was after the monitor was killed and...I though he drowned or...both did but then they were both out of the water...and it was sort of scary and the storm with the thunder and the rain was hard...and..yeah the beach was not fun and then I had to escort everyone else inside."He didn't want to ,but he did.

Felicity freezes, then takes a deeeeep breath. "I am NOT tsayin' 'ere. Nevah, evah, evah. I /'ave/ been doin' everythin' I was ordahed to, even got a medal for 'andlin' bein' that dumb monitah's captive 'admirably." She makes finger quotes for that last word. "I am NOT stayin' 'ere....Ciocan 'imself will be the only beast I obey if they say I 'ave to stay. 'M not stayin' 'ere," her voice drops into a mutter as she pushes past everyone and exits the room, livid and rigid. This is going to be a looooong few weeks.....

"Well then..." He mutters, looking between the badger-hugging-hare and the sea otter. "You must be jolly fun at parties..." He gives a long look to Ewan, his shoulder's falling. "Yes. I had to file that report for you, didn't I?" He shakes his head. "To be frank - would have been easier had it all just gone..." He stop, thinking better of what he was going to say. "ANYWAY, Felicity, you can try your bloody luck with the sarge - and well... It's not- oh." He blinks as she's already gone. "Right. Riiiiight then."

Xander was half expecting the hug and smiles a little as he walks the rest of the way into the library "So..any idea when Lord Ciocan can..well speak to us?"

Zolomon nods as he steps back "Yes we do need to jolly well speak to him sooner rather than later"

Misu says, "The badger is likely very busy I am sure he will find time to speak to us soon...I do hope so, help is truly and honestly needed before, you know..Redwall maybe falls to the ground""

Ewan frowns "Oh...sorry guess...I should do more reports they are just a little..sort of hard and I though only like higher ups did those"

"The Badger lord?" Terrence says, "Well, we're not at all the hares to ask about that, wot! Better luck finding out by asking a higher up. Speaking of which -" Turning to the remaining private, he shakes his head. "No, not just them - well, usually it's them, as they're generally in charge of things that happen, but when it's just, say, a corporal like me or a private like you - like it was during that storm- well, we'd have to write it up, as we're the only ones around, eh, wot!"

Xander nods"A meeting, who can like..arrange that for us, whom would I talk to or does he just know already?"

Zolomon frowns "I say this last couple days been bally well horrible, maybe the past couple months too"

Terrence nods. "Well, yes, I would think so - it's not every day we get visitors from the Abbey." He shrugs. "Well, of course I don't know for sure. Not really my place, after all..."

Xander nods "Alright..I can wait, though if he needs to know I woke up may be wise to update him on that at least. He likely needs time to plan and figure out stuff, I mean I would if I was him and I need to thank him for helping me and my friends on the beach"

Ewan nods "One of us can...tell him, right sir?" He looks to Terrence, "Or do you think he knows somehow?"

Zolomon stands and quietly walks out to go elsewhere as they talk, a frown on his face as he slips off.

"Yes," Terrence starts, nodding to Ewan, "I suppose I'll mention it." Glancing at the door, he bites his lip. "I will mention it. After all -" He winces. "-Need to make sure Lissie didn't go off and declare war on the brass for, well..." He swallows. "Well. Anyway. I'll take my leave, then! Good day!" After that, nodding to the private and badger, the corporal exits.

Xander nods, he watches Zolomon head off and sighs, he will talk to him later as he nods to the hare "Thank you I shall...wait for a reply" He sits down slowly in a chair and sighs.

Ewan nods and then turns to the badger "You...ok...need some food or water? A pillow?" He asks "I am sure his Lordship will know you require to, I mean want to talk to him soon. He is the badger lord after all and very busy and all that...right?"

Xander shrugs "Yeah..wonder if he has any leadership advice...did he ever lose almost half his group? To death or being slaves?" He frowns"I did but then one cant be everywhere at once and...I was going to go tell them maybe clear the base and then I was forced to take 2 days off and Karth was temperately in charge at the time. There is a horde about to crush Redwall, if they didn't already..what if they did , what if this is for nothing?"

Ewan frowns, "I..am..I am sure it is not..Redwall wouldn't fall that easily would it? Its like...from what read , the best place in all of Mossflower...strong gates and vermin fail at taking it down..yes some have gotten in...very few, what 5 % out of 95% and the 95% like..lost...good always win and all that wot" He smiles, yes try to cheer the badger up

Xander frowns, is he...crying now? He just leans back in the chair "Knowing my luck it will be too late by the time we get back, its 3-4 weeks back depending on a route taken."He closes "Can I..please have some time alone..."

Ewan seems unsure, leave a guest alone "I..well....I suppose, I will be by the door if ya need anything..kay?" He then goes to the door and sits down, should he just go elsewhere or stay, he is unsure and sighs...he will stay, for now.
