Series Of Chats..In The Old Office

From Redwall MUCK Wiki


1st DAY

Lee can be heard out in the hall giving orders to guards, then comes in.

Safana is still tied up and sat in the middle of the room here; she looks up as Lee enters the room and instantly glares at him.

Lee smiles. "Well, well, well...As ye already know, Safana, I just sent a messenger with an urgent message about yer capture ta Scioto."

Safana shrugs "So, what of like he will care what happens in the abbey"

Lee shakes his head. "Ye don't unnerstand, Safana..."

Safana asks, "What don’t I understand?"

Lee says, "Scioto thinks ye were out ta kidnap 'is daughter...I /might/ 'ave tol' 'im ye said a lot about 'is daughter..."

Safana glares at Lee, "You are annoying you know that woodlander, you know I should of tried to kill a different beast, but then again Nightfur had his demands and you stopped me, that was foolish of you"

Lee frowns. "Yes, I know ev'rythin, Safana. However, since ye won't work wi' me 'ere, which I guarantee were a big mistake, I'll be deliverin' ye ta Ferravale, where Scioto will torture ye for days until ye confess, the will 'ang ye by yer neck!"

Safana starts chuckling, "He will do nothing of the sort ta me..you know I should of killed you when I had the chance then I could of killed the elder easily, he wasn’t going to be able to escape."

Lee frowns. "Is that so? Are ye certain o' that? Hmm? Ye should 'ave seen 'is unbridled wrath when I tol' 'im yer secret three days ago. He trashed 'is own office..."

Safana chuckles "Your lying, then again I lied a few times recently as well..by the way" She smiles coldly, "How IS your Master Healer doing?"

Lee shakes his head. "I...Never...Lie!" He looks close to losing his temper, but he takes a deep breath, replying, "'E is restin', no thanks ta ye."

Safana smirks, "Yeah I am sure he is resting peacefully..not, the fool"

Lee says, "He passed out."

Safana nods, "Yes I gave him some..news, gee maybe I shouldn’t of in his already tried state, oh well"

Lee nods. "Ah, yes. I already know full wot ye tol' 'im, an' I know it be a lie."

Safana answers, "Oh? And how do you know it's a lie?"

Lee says, "Because, that's wot ye do. Ye lie!"

Safana chuckles, "Like I said by now it may not be a lie, either way she is gone, he'll never see her again and that’s the truth"

Lee says, "Oh, I think yer quite mistaken..."

Safana says, "No on that I am not"

Lee chuckles. "Yer gonna tell me wot I want ta know, Or yer gonna die, got that?"

Safana listens to the otter, "Tell you what? You already guessed on me wanting Benar dead, well Nightfur wanted him dead"

Lee says, "Yer gonna tell me where Nightfur be hidin'."

Safana clears her throat, "Sorry your out of luck"

Lee says, "I disagree."

Safana says, "Well sorry for that, if had it my way you be dead and so would Benar and I would of just left the abbey, my plan was simple..kill Benar before he had a chance to even scream, leave the room as if nothing happen..leave the gates in the morning no beast would of known a thing till later on I would of simply said he wished to not be disturbed today"

Lee says, "Aye, well, yer me prisoner now."

Safana says, "I don't plan to stay that way, bound to be some that still trust me"

Lee says, "Not in this abbey there won't be."

Safana glares at him and then looks down, "I hope Nightfur finds out of this and you die..painfully"

Lee grits his teeth. "Lissen up an' lissen well, /cat/. Much as I wanna kill ye meself, I'm givin' ye an offer ye'd be wise ta accept."

Safana says, "All ya been saying is you want me to tell you where Nightfur is..now I do not think I am going to do that"

Lee says, "Ye will if ye value yer life. Ye tell me where 'e is, an' yer free ta go, but ye can /NEVER/ return ta Redwall again, unnerstand?"

Safana chuckles, "And what would stop me, hmmm...there is one here who I am sure would invite me to stay, and believe anything he is told"

Lee says, "If ye mean Flicktail, yer outta luck. Flick knows Benar does /not/ lie, ye know."

Safana says, "Who’s to say he will get a chance to talk to Benar"

Lee frowns. "It be time ta face the facts, miss. No beast believes ye. I want ye ta weigh yer options. Execution at the paw o' Scioto, or freedom."

Safana growls and looks ready to claw the otter again if she gets the chance, "Go away..I answer no questions today otter."

Lee smiles, remaining well out of reach. "Don't ye worry...I 'ave immeasurable patience."

DAY 3

Safana is still sitting here, still tied up in her chair.

Lee speaks to the guards outside the room, then enters. "Well, well, g'mornin' Safana...least it be good for me. Did ye know I 'ave half the Abbey scourin' the forest for the hideout?"

Safana looks up "So, doesn’t mean they will find it that easily and Nightfur has beasts around that would just take more slaves or simply kill a beast for fun"

Lee sighs, acting bored. "Yeah, yeah, I know... I've 'eard that same threat more times 'n I can count..."

Safana chuckles coldly, seemly glad she can be more like herself now, "So..you and them abbey beasts chatting about me yet, had it my way they been chatting about a dead brother"

Lee says, "Me dear, I paid a visit ta yer brother. That's right! I learned yer Scioto's sister...that could explain 'is massive anger at ye...So lissen up, Safana, I'm no longer patient. If ye don't cooperate, I'll kill ye meself!" He remains perfectly calm, but his voice betrays his extreme anger toward the cat."

Safana glares at the otter and then chuckles, "Your get nothing from me and Scioto is not going to do a thing to me for that simple reason" She smiles slowly but not a friendly one.

Lee frowns now. "I'd be careful, Safana...I can't kill ye 'ere, but I can take ye someplace private, an' torture ye..."

Safana smirks "Yeah right..kill me I am SO scared, and your get no info from me, I am no fool"

Lee sighs now. "Let it be on the record that I did try. I hereby sentence ye ta be executed by the Abbey Champion out on the Road."

Safana rolls her eyes, "Like ya have that power"

Lee literally hisses in anger. "DON'T try me, Safana. I *will* do something to ye that will get me kicked outta the Abbey!"

Safana blink and chuckles “That would be enjoyable river dog." She watches him still very closely.

Lee exclaims, "Lissen up, I'd slit yer throat right 'ere an' now if ye weren’t me only link ta Nightfur!"

Safana frowns slightly at this; she then speaks again, “But you..NEED me, don’t ya?"

Lee frowns. "Yes, I do. That be why I can't just end yer pathetic life right now."

Safana slight frown turns to a smirk, “Well like I said, the hideout location won’t be told and not so sure of any other info as well"

Lee shrugs. "Well, if not, ye'll be 'ere for a very, very long time. I 'ope ye enjoy bein' alone..."

Safana says, "And why would you leave me alone in here, if all you want from me is info on where a hideout is, your not getting that answer"

Lee shrugs. "Because I want ye ta suffer."

Safana asks, "You sound like a vermin saying that, you know that, did you want anything else besides location?"

Lee nods slowly walking around Safana. "Yes, there is...I want DoraRose, ye an' I both know 'er death be a lie from Aster...an' I want Derean...but, I especially want..." He stops directly in front of Safana, leaning close, but not too close. "I want me daughter, Starlight...ye unnerstand? I will kill ev'ry slaver in Mossflower ta find 'er..."

Safana smiles coldly, "Yeah..Aster has the mouse maid Dorarose, I have no clue who Derean is..and Aster took the mouse maid to the hideout. “She chuckles, "That stupid Brother..Believed me, his poor stressed out mind, the look on his face was priceless..so" She tilts her head "How is de dear Master Healer...hopefully not so good now"

Lee frowns. "He's 'ad a nervous breakdown."

Safana starts laughing at this as if it’s the funniest thing she has ever heard in her whole life

Lee literally growls. "I do not recall bein' funny. Shut up!"

Safana gets quiet at the growl, seemly surprised it comes from an otter, she gives a weak frown as it gets to her, just slightly but still gets to her.

Lee nods. "I do believe ye've underestimated me." He pauses for a moment. "I WILL stop at nothin' ta get me daughter back, even if that means killin' ye an' ev'ry other beast that stands in me way, an' that be a promise."

Safana says, "Like you could kill all Nightfur's beasts, he has many and he has birds as well, maybe not many but he has a small few"

Lee shrugs. "Well, Storm be dead."

Safana looks surprised, "The swan is dead?"

Lee nods. "For at least a week."

Safana shrugs "So..he still has a couple crows and all his rats, weasel ,and whatever"

Lee says, "I wouldn't be so sure. I cleanin' out Mossflower, one scumbag at a time."

Safana says, "I am sure your having tons of fun..Nightfur still has plans, he will just find others to finish them"

Lee shrugs. "Per'aps. 'E can't stay 'idden forever, though."

Safana smirks, "He wants you dead, don’t be too surprised when his beasts go to slay you"

Lee says, "I already knew that. Did ye ever stop an' think about 'ow I knew ye were gonna kill Benar? Hmm?"

Safana shakes her head, "I have no clue how you found out,..scare someone you caught and killed ?..Yeah I almost got away with it to, had he not woken up I probably would of, had I not broke the mug he would of died that night" She grins “There is ways to kill a beast, quickly and they don’t even have time to scream or gasp, they just die, I would of just left the room, waited till morning and walked out...told some novice oh he wants to sleep in..hee hee sleep in"

Lee grimaces. "Ye know wot, I'll tell ye 'ow. I over'eard ye an' Aster, out on the road, weeks ago...An' ye never even guess."

Safana frowns "You..what?..How, that’s a lie"

Lee smiles. "Believe me, it be true."

Safana says, "Whatever..what else you hear?"

Lee says, "I 'eard that ye were ta harm a badger, probably Zork, an' I inferred from that little chat that I were on the choppin' block as well."

Safana smirks, "He is one, but I think he ment the blind one, whom I assured him is not a threat, what he going to do...he's blind and got lucky with a staff in a fight."

Lee frowns. "I wouldn't underestimate Oz inna fight."

Safana looks ready to laugh again, "He's blind..and your funny, you know funny"

Lee gets right up in Safana's face, yelling. "I assure ye, I'm not tryin' ta be funny. Am I funny now?" he steps back a little to compose himself.

Safana gets just a little fear, just a little as she may be slowly starting to fear him now

Lee remains quiet for several long minutes. Finally, he speaks, "So...now that ye know I mean business, I 'ope we 'ave an understandin'..."

Safana frowns at this, ok she is starting to believe the otter and her mind starts raceing at ways to get the heck away from him

Lee wanders over to the tiny window, and looks down at the snow covered orchards. "Safana, whether ye like it or not, I *will* learn the location of Nightfur's Hideout..." he turns around to face her, "with, or without yer 'elp. If ye refuse ta cooperate, ye will regret yer decision."

Safana says, "You..don’t scare me"

Lee says, "Ye hesitated there, Safana. Yer afraid, deep down, but yer too proud ta admit it. I could see the fear in yer eyes, for a brief moment there... That's also why ye won't divulge things about Nightfur...yer afraid of 'im."

Safana glares at this, "You dare so I..I fear anything"

Lee nods. "I do dare, Safana. I'm no fool. Nightfur is evil, there be no way 'e could inspire loyalty for the sake o' loyalty...no, it be loyalty through fear."

Safana keeps the glare, a little while then it dies down and she looks at the floor so she doesn’t have to look at the otter

Lee says, "I *will* kill Nightfur."

Safana says, "Good luck with that" She mutters, "Really your need it"

Lee smirks. "I think luck be on me side. First Storm were eliminated, then yerself, next up is Aster, I can't wait ta question 'er."

Safana says, "She is a tough fighter, your probably die"

Lee shrugs. "I'm just as tough."

Safana says, "She has daggers, a sword, arrows"

Lee chuckles. "Funny thing...so do I."

Safana says, "gee who is faster on the draw"

Lee shrugs. "We'll find out, all in due time, me dear."

Safana says, "Yeah..whatever"

Lee says, "I will keep ye in 'ere till Hellgates freeze over if necessary. If ye don't talk, ye can starve!"

Safana frowns, “Right, novices bring food up here"

Lee says, "I can arrange for that ta stop."

Safana says, "they wouldn’t listen to you"

Lee says, "Honey, I be 'ead guard, ev'rybeast lissens ta me. An' right now, I've ordered no contact with ye, at all."

Safana snorts and goes silent, yeah she don’t believe him and watches as he leaves her alone yet again and closes the door.

Day 5

Safana still tied up, and getting to the point where she is bored out of her mind and has done a great deal of thinking and hisses low, yes she is evil now and maybe being like this has only made her slip further into the realm of evilness.

There is a soft click of the lock followed by the sound of the door slowly opening. A pudgy brown fox slips into the room and closes the door behind. "Evenin Safana." Bandit says cheerfully.

Safana glares at the fox as he walks in and hisses, her ears flat on her head, "What do you want, surprised your even still alive"

Bandit raises an eye brow the cat before replying bluntly, "Same could be said of you Safana." The hefty fox crosses his arms before continuing. "I think you know what I want. You tarnished my name. Sold me out as a slaver. Even almost got me executed as one...some beasts in the abbey still look at me like I’m a monster." Bandit growls. "Why. Why me? Why did you do that to me?"

Safana chuckles, “To get them off my trail fox, it was rather fun and so sorry you were not executed, I could of done worse had I thought of it"

The fox makes a low growl as he speaks, "So I was what...a random victim?" He shakes his head sadly, "You won’t believe the week I had. Lost in the woods, being chased by bounty hunters when not locked up in jail." Bandit looks up at the cat again

Safana chuckles “Maybe revenge, for my tail" She smiles at him but a non-friendly one, “And to throw the abbey beasts off so I could Kill Benar, which would of succeeded at if it wasn’t for Lee but I am sure my boss will kill him soon"

The fox tilts his head to the side. "You must be new at the whole assassin thing. If you really wanted to kill him you would have found a secluded hallway, stab him in the back and run for the gate."

Safana smirks, "It was in the dark of the night, he was asleep and my plan was he would never wake again, kill him and leave out the gates in the early dawn, but the mug broke and he manages to see me and barely rolled out of the way, almost got a 2nd chance at him in the same 5 minutes, but that Lee knocked me down and the dagger missed"

The fox chuckles. "Sounds rough to be honest. To come so far to go through as much planning...just to be stopped by a mug."

Safana tries to lunge at the fox and glares at him with cold cold hate.

The fox simply watches as the cat struggles against her bonds. "You know...seeing you like this. I really do pity you Safana. I imagine you were a good beast once. Why...why have you done all this?”

Safana glares "I am..NOT..AHHHH" And her and chair fall over with a clack, she growls, "That beast is gone forever"

The fox sighs as the chair tips over. He bends down and sets the cat upright again with grunt of effort. "I would save your strength for when you take us to Night fur.”

Safana rolls her eye, "Whatever you say fatty"

The door bursts open and there is Lee, not looking very happy, his left shoulder bandaged.

The fox's sympathy and patience have went thin with the cat. "You're a fool cat. Whatever reason you are working with Nightfur, money, gold, maybe fear maybe admiration. You won’t get it from him. I know his breed...I was like him myself once. Following him will only lead you to an early grave and..." The fox yipes, "L-Lee!"

Safana looks at the door and narrows her eyes at the otter, "You should knock"

Lee stands there, surveying the scene before him. "'Ow did ye get in 'ere?"

Bandit buys himself a moment to think of an answer by chuckling nervously. "Heh...they don't call me Bandit for nothing."

Lee puts a paw up to stop him short, while he steps out into the hall. The otter can be heard yelling loudly at the two guards outside, while he promptly demotes them dish to washing duty in the Scullery.

Safana chuckles and smirks, "Lazy guards"

Bandit gulps at the otter yelling at the guards. "Oh look at the time. I think I will best be heading out then." The fatty fox tries to quietly slip past Lee before his wrath falls upon him.

Lee stops the fox. "Now, 'ow did ye get in 'ere?"

Safana smirks, she watches Bandit "Ya think he would lose some weight from jail"

Bandit sighs. Drat. "I...stole a key from the guard and slipped in while they were taking care of a 'distraction'. I...needed to talk with Safana."

Lee sighs. "Bandit...ye could 'ave just asked me...why didn't ye?"

Safana rolls her eyes as the two talk, she watches maybe they will start fighting each other, that be cool.

Bandit blinks and rubs the back of his neck. Finely he says happily, "Cause you might have said no!" Better to ask forgiveness than permission the fox thinks. Ignoring the second stab at his weight the fox finely says to Safana. "Good by Safana. Do remember...if Nightfur were here instead of lee...how would he treat you?" With that the fox turns to leave.

Safana shakes her head, and once more after a couple moments she is alone in the room again. So more Questioning? Will she be dragged out soon? Will she tell them where Nightfur is?..Who knows…
