Rioko in the Salamandastron pantry, take 2 (An OOC Long Patrol log)
This is a part 2 log of this: [[Rioko_in_the_Salamandastron_pantry_%5BAll_Done_%3AD%5D|http://rwmuck.limitless.org/rwmuck/content/rioko-salamandastron-pantry-b...]]
This is an OOC RP, so no foxes were harmed in the making of this log. Thank you for understanding. ;)
Somewhere in the depths of the dormant volcano Salamandastron...
It was a quiet day in the mountain, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. That was because mice were not allowed in the mountain, neither were foxes but that didn't stop Rioko from sneaking her way in. It was sneaking out again that was proving to be the most difficult.
Deep in the pantry Rioko is laying sprawled out across the floor in front of a very large crack in the wall. The crack leads off to a cavern, the cavern leads to safety. Safety she can not reach because Rioko can not fit through the crack. Unable to widen the crack out with her halberd the fox opted to wait until she digested off her meal and was able to slip out of her entry point into the pantry. Several hours later when the fox realized that the sun would soon be rising upon the pantry Rioko opted to drink as much wine as she could because she figured she didn't want to be sober for the horrible doom that awaited her.
Felicity has gotten up with the sun! Ever since the fox got in the first time, she has been checking the pantries for intruders. Armed with her short sword, she comes quietly padding through, breathing in the nice smells of the herbs. She's not in here to enjoy that, though. No, never. She is stopped by a kitchen helper, and they chat for a few minutes, only a few yards away from the fox.....
The fox's ears perk up at the sound of chatter. Slowly she looks up, eyes focusing on the hares before they see her. It was do or die time! Either she made it out or she was a dead goose!
Picking herself up, feet kicking empty wine bottles against the wall, the fox makes a mad dash for the crack in the wall and...
PLOP.
"Oh come on!" The vixen yells, not even able to get her chest through the hole in the wall. At least this time she isn't stuck. She pulls herself out and tries again, this time going at it from the side. "Come on, come on. You can do it gal you can do it! Come oooooooooooooon!"
Felicity is basically the opposite of deaf, and so has absolutely no trouble hearing the fox try to make her escape. Hastily bidding the other hare good-bye, the Runner races over to where the fox is and goes to tackle her. "Oh, no ya don't! Not this time!"
But the fox proves to be too quick this time! Huzzah! Rioko actually squeezes herself through the surprisingly spacious opening with a loud POP. "HA! That's right! The fox came BACK! Just try to stop m-"
And then she proceeds to immediately run face first into a stalagmite. Her head comes to an abrupt stop while her body continues comically in one direction. Falling flat on her face the fox lays there, dazed and confused but certainly not going anywhere.
Felicity slips through the crack with basically little to no effort; her job and natural metabolism keeps her fit and in shape. "You are such an idiot....I need some 'elp in 'ere!!" She calls. Some other Long Patrol members peek in as Lissie glares at them. "Please 'elp me get this stupid fox to a 'oldin' cell, will ya?" The guards squeeze in and go to help her lift the fox...
...
Waking up to a double whammy of a head and belly ache the obese vixen bemoans her fate. The third whammy of the day comes in the form waking up in a long patrol cell. She thwumps her head against her stone bed and whines. "Oh come on! I was away! I got away! This is so...gah!" Another week of being locked up and then being released once again pennyless, jobless, and hungry into the world. Lovely. Oh well, nothing she hasn't sprung back from before.
Felicity peeks into the cell through the window in the door. "You're a certifiable idiot. Why would ya break into our Mountain a /second/ time, ya crazy coot??" She has her arms crossed and a scowl on her face as the guard opens the door. "I /really/ ought to drag ye up to Lord Ciocan and let 'im deal with you. D'ya think I should? You deserve it, wot!" Lissie comes into the room (with her sword at her side, just to be on the safe side), and the guard closes the door behind her.
The fox is up in a flash, if a bit wobbly on her feet, "Hey, no need for something so drastic. It's only my second strike! Right?" The fox grips the bars to her cell window, "R-right? That's a /thing/ here, right? I mean, it was only a little food...ok a lot of food...and a lot of wine. No harm though right? Not like I ate a beast or nothing..." Although the portly hare that was scoffing pastries from the cellar last night looked oh so delicious.
Felicity shifts her weight to her right leg and shakes her head. "No, 'tisn't a 'thing' 'ere. You broke into Salamandastron /twice/ and /stole/ food! A lot of food! Enough food that we might 'ave to go on /rations/ this Wintah!!" She looks horrified and heartbroken at her blatant lie, but she's acting well enough that the fox shouldn't be able to see through it. "'Ow could /you/ of /all/ beasts, who knows the value of food, /do/ that to us?!" She's stalling 'cause she's actually quite unsure of what to do with the fox....
Release her, obviously. If one was to ask the fox what to do about the fox. The vixen eyes seem to grow as large as saucers, "B-but I was hungry." is probably not a good excuse but she uses it anyway. "You mean...you mean I might be stuck here forever...or..." She rubs at her fleshy neck, "Or w-worse?"
Nothing like some SAPPY sappyness of SAP to goad the hare into releasing her! Hopefully.
Sappy sappiness is not working. Lissie rolls her eyes and puts her fists on her hips. Balancing her weight between both legs again, she leans forward a little, juts out her chin, and growls, "Aye, tha's what I mean! Now, I'm gonna--" "Ah 'eard we 'ave a fox in there? Repeat offender? Open the door!" The guards hurriedly obey, and the cell door opens to reveal a huge male badger, who just happens to be hefting his gigantic war hammer. Felicity turns, sees him, and literally bounces into Attention, saluting as she lands. "Lord Ciocan, sah! Didn't want to bothah you, sah! She's broken into the pantries twice now, but we'll set 'er straight, SAH!" The huge, tall badger bends a little and glares at the fox with his peculiar green eyes. "Why didn't you kill 'er the first time?" Lissie's eyes widen, and she bites her lip, letting her paw fall to her side. "Um...."
The vixen covers her muzzle to stifle a small 'eep'. She steps back from the door as the door opens. "Lord Ciocan! You...you look...even more terrifying than the stories describe you as!" At the mention of her impending doom the fox backs against the wall of her cell, paw outstretched defensively, "W-wait a moment! N-no need for violence! Lesson learned!" Her bottom lip quivers as she gives them her best, puppy dog eyes. They are just joshing her, right? Putting the fear of badger in her? Right? ...Right?
Felicity steps to the side, still at attention, as the badger steps into the room. "The only good vermin's a dead 'un, ye ken? Ah 'ave no reason to expect that ye'll turn to the side o' good, so 'twould be best ta rid the world o' ye. EULALIA!" Lissie jumps at the shout and leaps out of the room as Ciocan swings his hammer at the fox....
"W-wait! Please! Don't I get the right to beg for mercy! H-how about a Last meal? Ah cripes..." The hammer connects and the fox see's stars. It is the last thing she ever sees...
...
"And that kiddos is the story of The Foolish Fox." Kate says as she gestures to the fire place. The leverets all turn their heads upwards to where a very fat grey fox has been stuffed and mounted. The stuffed fox is on top of the fire place put into a permanent position to better reflect her natural wild state. That is cringing in terror from the hammer blow that is forever about to pound her into pancake matter.
Julia's mouth is wide open as she hugs her toy bunny close. Felicity peeks into the room, then rolls her eyes. Kate plus leverets plus stuffed fox hide equals one gory story that Julia is going to now be talking about for the next 4 weeks. Awesome. Padding quietly into the room, just as she did when she found said fox, the haremaid shakes her head and smiles at her friend. Seriously?
Thanks for reading this strictly non-canon OOC RP! :D
