That's One Way To Get Rid Of Hiccups-Ferravale Log

Who:

Patch- Spy, Tavern Worker, Ale Maker

Xander- Leader of Mossflower Defenders and Owner of Redthorn Tavern

Markalaway- Creepy Undertaker of Ferravale

Log:

Patch was here, maybe early but hey is there such a thing as early when it comes to a tavern that everyone has been waiting to see open, of course it be a LOT better if he could find someone, his mood would surely be at ease"Stripy...where are ya...you better be somewhere in here or...well I wont be in a good mood"

Xander is at a booth just sitting, drinking water but it seems to not help with his problem. He growls and then hiccups, a snort as he goes to hold his breath and ...great a Hiccup again!

Patch ears perk and locate the sound as he looks at the badger, "Wot de seasons?" Ok yeah he knows what hiccups are as he carefully walks closer.

Xander frowns "I have *hiccup*...Hiccups...go *hiccup*....away" He looks moody at this and another hiccup and frown."Can't..open like *hiccup*..like this"

Patch tail moves slightly as he thinks "But tis..opening day...uggg try water"Ok he is trying to help, he really is trying.

Xander glares and then hiccups again with a sigh "I did..I drank like 4 glasses of water *hiccup*" He sighs again.

Patch nods as he paces, ok what to do,"Hold ya breath?"

Xander frowns as he nods, he tried that a couple times and it just made a couple times hurt when he hiccuped and he hiccups a couple more times and snorts.

Patch frowns, ok this is annoying so what to do now"Y know we supposed ta open soon, right?"

Xander just stares at Patch and another hiccup.."Yes" He keeps it simple and is clearly not in the mood to argue, besides with hiccups it be a bit annoying and just add to his grumpiness right now.

Patch backs up a couple steps, his ears flatten a little as he thinks, he has not really dealed with hiccups before so what does he do now."Ummm....eat some lemon?"

Xander tilts his head "Lemon?" Ok the rat is odd, and a hiccup followed by an annoyed snort "I hate..today..*hiccup*"

Patch shrugs "Heard it worked fer a beast once..I don't know just tryin' ta help ya"

Xander says, "whatever" He mutters and..wait are they..a hiccup....nope still there as he frowns deeply"Today is horrible""

Patch says, "No tis not...just hiccups, if this is the worse thing of today your doing great""

Markalaway quietly walks into the tavern and glaces around, he says nothing and always seems to walk making no sounds as he just sort of sits at a table nearby and looks over at the two beasts.

Xander sighs "I want*hiccup* today to be perfect...a nice grand opening and Benar is *hiccup* supposed to be here with like abbey beasts and maybe *hiccup* the champion too"

Patch doesn't notice the other rat, then again not like most would stop the beast from entering the tavern, most find him...creepy, including Patch."Well..maybe they will help and nothing is 100% perfect that I know of"

Markalaway speaks "Nothing is 100% in life except the fact we are all born, we live how ever long and then leave the walk called life" His voice is even creepy as he speaks "The tavern looks good...Marek would of been pleased"

Xander hiccups a couple times and then tenses up, paw on blade and looks over wide eyed at Markalaway and breaths a sigh of relief"How in de seasons did you...you almost scared the fur off me and I..I almost got up to stab you"

Patch jumps and hides under a table and then crawls back out to look at the other rat "Good grief how do you *rude word* do that, you could be an assassin and you would be great at it and I almost died ya moron...ever hear of being scared to death!"

Markalaway just grins, yes he has heard of being scared to death, it can happen but it's rare."An ale or does one need to wait till the tavern is open for business?"

Xander blinks and stands to get an ale for Markalaway and stops, he smiles "Hey..he cured my hiccups...hey first drink from the new tavern...free of charge" He slides over the ale and sits down."Tavern opens in a couple hours and we will have guests from the abbey to help celebrate it opening"He then looks to Patch "And by the way that means the fighting pits are closed still, you can open them all ya want..AFTER...the abbey beasts leave. I don't want them open and like fights happening while they are here"

Patch crosses his arms over his chest "Fine..but tis ok Stripy need to look em' over and make sure de fighting pit is in good order anyways"He puts a sign up to show the fighting pit is not open yet but might open in a few days and then sits back down.

Markalaway drinks some of the ale and nods "Is..good, I wish you well on your new Tavern and it is good to empress the abbot any time"He finishes his drink and stands "But..I dislike crowds, I will be at home.."He sits the mug down "Good day"He slips out just as quietly as he came in.

Xander nods and watches him leave "Well...today has been interesting so far" He smiles "My Hiccups are gone so the rest of the day should be great...there has been peace and the Mossflower Defenders have patrolled around, nothing has showed up recently so that's good."

Patch shrugs "Thinking of visitors...ya mate one of em'?"

Xander shakes his head "No she was helping Uncle Oz with some dibbun camp out and she is mostly in charge of it. It probably went pretty good I mean cookies and candy chestnuts...a chance to be in a tent is sort of cool for a dibbun, though I never got a chance to be in a tent..well as a dibbun but likely would of liked it. I could bring her around in a few days."

Patch nods as he yawns "Ok well we have what...couple hours....wake me when beasts are here" He starts to walk off.

Xander stands "No way Patch...we have food to get ready, drinks to have made....maybe sweep the floor" He goes to talk to the 5-6 beasts in kitchens, they have to be ready after all.

Patch frowns "I hate you sometimes..ya know that?" But he knows today is important and so he helps to make sure all is ready for company and opening day, all will be great today, no worries...right?
