RW Abbey: Dibbun's Room
---------------------------------

About you is a rather dis-organized room.  Everything from clothing to a few toys to empty dishes are spread about the place in a giant mess that suggests that either a tornado went through this location, or perhaps, a sometimes rather similar thing, a large amount of dibbuns.  The shape is of a square, and a few pieces of furniture are near the walls.  Piles of miscellaneous dibbun toys are heaped onto everything around.  Your light source appears to be a few torches lit almost all the time, hanging onto the walls, held higher up by torch holders.  They light the place rather well.  You see two doors along one wall.  One is labeled "Boys Room", and the other "Girls Room". Two other doors come from this room.  One leads into a neatly organized,  clean room, though what it's purpose is hard to tell.  The other goes into a hallway.
--------------------------------

Xander was just back from his trip and looked around to let others know he was back, he saw one of the Abbey beasts a Brother Ted and walks over "Hello Brother Ted have you seen my Uncle Oz or maybe Lilymoore?" The mouse shrugs and so the badger wanders off leaving the abbey Brother to face the dibbuns, he volunteered but may of been a bad idea."So..Storytime?"

The couple dibbuns, mice and an otter and a couple squirrels smile "Story story...and cookies?" Hey why not cookies?
   
Grace the gosling hugs her blankie close. "Honk! I wants cookies!" The other Dibbuns start chanting for cookies, getting more and more excited. Squirrelbabe, the DAB Ringleader, whispers to some of her cohorts, and they giggle in a naughty manner. Looks like Brother Ted volunteered for more than he may be able to handle, if the DAB is thinking about causing mischief....   

Brother Ted doesn’t seem too worried, dibbuns are so sweet and fun right?" Well cookies afterwards let’s see a good story"   

The dibbuns not close to the DAB leader look over and the couple mice and otters frown, but they do try and think of a story they have yet to hear, and one says "Me..bored..."
   
Squirrelbabe hops up and declares, "We wants cookies now!" The little group she talked to suddenly dart away and block all the doors with chairs as the DAB ringleader stalks forward. "Gives us cookies or we's gonna keps you pwisoner fowevah and evah until you dies to death!!!!" The other DABers give a cheer and surround the Order Brother, clamoring for cookies! Grace gasps; the horror of it all! Well, that one bored Dibbun is getting some excitement now, right? Right.   

Brother Ted blinks "Umm..w...what are you sweet little ones doing? the cookies are later once I tell a story of some sort...I could make up one of...let's see some hero on a quest for..."He seems nervous now "For cookies?"   

The couple mice and otters not involved suddenly giggle, well one hides under one of the beds. Its suddenly a little less boring in the room.   

Stooping her foot, Squirrelbabe shakes her head vigorously. "NO! We wants cookies, and we's wants dem NOWSIE!!" The DABers aren't smiling anymore, and some toddle off to the piles of toys in grim determination. Grace the gosling hides under a bed, too, but she's not giggling. "Honk! Papa Ozzie'll gets us alls in /twoubles/! Don'ts /do/ it!!" Squirrelbabe, ignoring this quite sound advice, suddenly flies through the air to try and land on the Brother's chest, her nose mere inches from his face (unless he's already running away like a sane person). "So where's our cookies??"
   
And Brother Ted screams and ducks, yeah she does manage to grab some head fur as he frowns "Oz...umm is elsewhere..."Why did the badger choice today to go to the market with some novices, he is unsure and wishes he didn’t now. He gulps as he goes to attempt to move a chair from one of the doorways!   

An otter dibbun giggles and jumps up and down as his twin brother gets a pillow and hits his brother and feathers go all over the place. The two mice look from under the bed, they frown and one cries.   

The gosling scrambles over to the scared mice and says, "We cans share my blankie until Papa Ozzie arrives!" Some DABers grab pillows and wooden swords and sticks from the toy piles and from beds and charge at the Brother, roaring in their squeaky little voices, "BAFFS NEVAH, PWAY FOWEVAH! Gives us cookies!!" Another group piles on the chair to weigh it down while some squirrels, led by the Ringleader, grab a spool of string that they stole from the classroom and start trying to tie up the Brother. They were very serious about keeping him prisoner. Some other Dibbuns, seeing the otter pillow fight that's in the works, grab more pillows and start boxing  each other with them, turning the room into instant chaos.   

Brother Ted gasps and turns to run only to trip over a loose toy of some sort and fall flat on his face, he struggles, you would think he could break free of dibbuns but this many he fails and is pulled to a chair as he is tied to it he frowns "Please release me...there is no cookies here, its..I have no clue if there is even cookies!" A flying pillow hits him in the face.   

The two mice nod meanwhile one of the otter twins finds some two day old bit of bread and crumbles it and giggles. What else is around as the other otter twin dumps out a box of blocks.   

Grace covers her head with her blankie and offers the mice the safe "safety". Squirrelbabe, satisfied that he's well secured, calls off her cohorts. "Well, ded, we'll just howd you wansom." Great idea. And now the Order Brother knows why very few beasts volunteer for this thing. A baby hare has found a book that somebody left in here and drags it over to in front of the captured adult for no obvious reason. Ignoring him completely, the hare opens the book and quietly "reads" it....upside down. Pillows literally fly through the air above him, yet he has somehow managed to tune it all out.
   
The abbey brother looks worried, he is unsure how long it takes to go to the market with novices, he use to be one and they can be somewhat annoying as well, he frowns "I...well you can't keep me in here forever"   

The mice dibbuns just watch, one falls asleep and snores. The otter dibbuns just giggle and one knocks over a vase of flowers onto the floor   

"Yes we can!" a couple Dibbuns call back to the Brother. Good thing that vase is clay....well, it still broke into a zillion pieces, but at least they're not very sharp. A baby ferret, barely old enough to crawl around, starts to eat the flowers because they're things that will fit in his mouth. Squirrelbabe looks around triumphantly, and starts yanking at a blanket. "Wet's take aaaallll da blankie and stuff off and makes a mess!" Okay!" The DABers not involved in the pillow fight say. Meanwhile, a mole goes to tickle the hiding mice and gosling. A hedgehog goes to hit the otter twins with a pillow! In the head! The hare reading the book starts to slowly rip out a blank page from the back of the book.   

Brother ted frowns and then speaks loudly "Ok all of you stop or...or your not have pie today and I am sure your all miss it so there!" He struggles to get loose and some of the string loosens, very very slowly.   

The otters freeze and then giggle like insane beasts and help feathers and flat pillows be all over the place, as well as kick a couple blocks across the room   

The hare ignores the Brother and starts to eat the page he ripped out of the book. A few squirrels hops over to the adult and stare up at him, silently. In a really creepy manner. The hedgehog hits at the otters again, letting the rest of the DAB make a giant mess. All the blankets and sheets have been ripped off the beds, and now a team of baby moles is trying to get a mattress off of a bed. The infant ferret is watching this with wide eyes as he munches on his flowers. Squirrelbabe is now chasing some (crying) mice across the room with a wooden sword.   

Brother Ted looks near tears and does the only thing he can think of "HELP!!!!"   

One mouse dibbun climbs up onto one of the beds and bounces up and down as the otters look around, well the pillows seem to need restuffed soon, but not right now but they are tried now as they yawn

Meanwhile, on the stairs, LilyMoore is headed towards the Abbot's office; she has a scroll for him. Inside the Dibbun's room, the hare rips out another blank page and starts to eat it, too, having finished off his first one. The moles have managed to dislodge the mattress. A couple of other Dibbuns joins the mouse jumping on the bed, giggling as the go up and down, up and down, up and down..... Having gotten bored with chasing other Dibbuns, Squirrelbabe goes to hop onto the Brother's lap, grinning cheekily. "Whys you needs hewp? Oooooooohhh, are you askin's for cookies for us??" The baby ferret has finished his flowers and now starts splashing the water that the flowers were in.   

Xander walks along the hall and blinks when he thinks he hears a cry for help and frowns, he catches sight of Lilymoore and walks over "Umm..hey Lilymoore I got you, well it’s from some beast else" He holds out a wrapped package.   

Inside the room Brother Ted just frowns, "I...don't know...why would they reward this for?!"   

The otter twins look interested again and two mice dibbuns snore, "Cookies?"   

LilyMoore accepts the package. "Oh, thank you! ....did you just hear some beast call for help just now?" She pockets the present (she'll open it later, after dinner) and heads down the hallway to the Dibbuns Room. Inside, Squirrelbabe pouts. "Because we be young and /innocent/." Grace peeks out from under her blankie and yells, "No yous not!" "YES WES ARE!!!" The DAB Ringleader shouts, stomping a foot (while still being on the Brother's lap, of course). The other Dibbuns are settling down, having used up most of their energy, but they all perk up at the idea of "Cookies?" "Cookies?" "Cookies." "Cookies!"
   
Brother Ted eeeps and frowns, he looks so defeated "SOME BEAST HELP!!!"   

Xander nods and notices her pocket it, "It’s from..." Should he tell. he does   

Xander says, "Marek...." Yeah he heard the cry too "Umm...dibbuns room?"   

Oz has yet to get back with those novices, that could be bad.....a couple dibbuns start to look concern about the room as they frown.   

LilyMoore smiles and makes sure that the present is safe in her pocket with the Abbot's scroll. "Oh, that's so sweet of him...thank you for delivering it!" She gasps and breaks into a jog at the sound of the call for help. Trying to open the door, she finds it stuck. "Hey....HEY! open this door right now!!!" A couple of Dibbuns, recognizing the mouse maid’s voice, gasp and start trying to clean up the room. But then Squirrelbabe shouts, "Norra sho fasts!" She hops down to the floor and says, "Or you'lls do what??" Grace the gosling yells from her hiding place under the bed, "Gets Papa Ozzie, /he'll/ know whats to do!!!"   

Brother Ted just whimpers, today is the worse day of his life and he has decided dibbuns are some secret evil horde that look sweet and innocent and then trap you in some nightmare as he twitches, he rather wash dirty socks all day than this or clean all the large pots and pans after a feast.   

Xander frowns and goes to the door as he speaks "I bet Papa Oz is close too..so open up!"

A couple mice dibbuns and the otter twins quickly go to move some chairs away from the doorway with a whimper, they are not getting into trouble....are they?   

LilyMoore hears the chair being moved and opens the door. Her mouth opens wide, as do her eyes as they take in the horrible mess that is now the room. "What....how could....." what few words she's able to get out are shrill and high-pitched. Oh, yeah, all the involved Dibbuns are in SUCH HUMONGEOUS TROUBLE. The hare looks up from his fourth piece of paper and says, "/I/ did /nofing/, wot!" Squirrelbabe, is beyond livid at the Dibbuns who moved the chair, but she keeps it in for now. All the other Dibbuns are standing around awkwardly, and a couple point at the Brother, deflecting blame onto him.   

Poor Brother Ted looks..well..he is tied up and twitching that can't be good. Xander walks over slowly and unties him as the mouse passes out in his arms and the badger holds him and looks around the room with a frown "Umm...looks like a wind storm hit this room"   

And perfect timing or not so perfect timing as 4 novice are heard gasping and another badger walks in "Wot in the..."Only to trip over a chair, and land on the last soft pillow and some blankets in the room , some dibbuns gasp and one starts to cry as Oz slowly sits up and is quiet as he speaks "Someone...explain....." One of the novices frown "Up.....mess?"   

Squirrelbabe gasps, too, and Grace hollers out, "'Tis all /her/ fault! Honk! Dey twashed da room an', an' tied up Brovva /Teddy/!" The Ringleader whirls around in a towering rage. "Twaitor! You noffing but a twaitor bird!" "I HOPES YOU NEVERS GETS COOKIES AGIN!! HONK!" The Dibbuns starts all chattering, the (very few) innocent ones saying that Squirrelbabe started it and the naughty ones mostly crying and asking to not be spanked or sent to bed early or forced to take the ever-dreaded bath. The baby hare continues to munch on paper. Lily swoops down on him and starts fighting with him for the paper; he starts throwing a tantrum.   

Xander frowns he is unsure what to do, it’s a mess a clear mess in here and he does one thing and that’s get Brother Ted to the infirm and then he walks back slowly to see if he can help...somehow   

The room is full of crying dibbuns, arguing dibbuns and talking novices and suddenly" SIILENCE!!!" That was Oz and...yep he is peeved, just a little..no a lot.   

LilyMoore freezes, her old instincts to 'not make Papa Oz mad' taking over. All the Dibbuns go silent and stare at the badger, tears coursing down the cheeks of some of them. Grace scrambles out from under the bed where she's been hiding and gulps, hugging her blankie close. Lily carefully rescues the remaining paper and the book the hare was eating from and starts to carefully clean up the clay vase, which causes the tiny little baby ferret to cry because he doesn't understand.   

Xander backs up and bumps into a wall and he wasn't even here. A couple dibbuns whimper. He just stays quiet   

Oz takes a deep breath "Clean up the mess...now" He is calm with a hint of I could yell again, he carefully moves and almost trips again “Lilymoore you and Xander will make sure the mess is cleaned up but no helping them, there will be no desert for a week and I may add more to this...I need to..."He falls onto his knee, the bad knee and grumbles as he slowly stands and limps to the hallway.   

As the Dibbuns comply, the innocent ones and the naughty ones who are truly remorseful crying quietly, LilyMoore finishes cleaning up the clay pieces and carries the baby ferret out of the room with her. "Papa Oz, I think he ate a bunch of flowers. Could you hold him?" The baby ferret looks up at the badger and holds out his paws to be held. Squirrelbabe looks subdued. No dessert for a week? That's torture! But she has to put up with it. It's just dumb to make the Badger Father mad. Lily bites her lip and adds, "They somehow knocked a mattress onto the floor. Should we pick that up for them? It's so big."
   
Xander speaks "I can get it" That's all he will get, the dibbuns can make the bed.   

Oz takes the dibbun ferret as it throws up on him and he sighs again and carries the dibbun ferrret to the infirm.   

LilyMoore lets the big, strong young badger get the mattress. She just makes them clean up the whole mess. It takes a surprisingly long amount of time, seeing as how quickly they demolished the room. After dinner, when they go to bed with no supper, Lily secludes herself in the bellower and opens her gift from Marek by the light of the setting sun. She gasps with delight at the pretty wooden box and golden bell on its chain, with her name engraved on it. She hugs it close, vowing to cherish it forever.   

Xander gets the bed moved and starts to go help Oz and decides he best stay and watch dibbuns clean...yep such a fun afternoon this will be.   

Oz did remember to check and make sure the dibbuns cleaned up, he trusts Lilymoore and Xander, what else is on the punishment list besides no desert for a week, as if that 2 hour lecture wasn’t enough......waiting to see what other privileges the dibbuns loss is..well scary.
