Tulip is no wallflower.... (An OOC log)
This is strictly an OOC log, because we got bored ;) No otters, rats, foxes, or snakes were actually harmed in the making of this log. Thank you for understanding.
It was a fine spring day, shattered by the shrill yelp of the otter. Liask comes running down the road bare chested save for the painted stripes down his back. He runs as fast as an otter can, alas his time at Redwall has made him slow. All that food softening him up. He huffs and pants, panic on his face.
He should be panicked! There are bandits out in the woods, after all. A group of them now steps out in front of him, blocking off his escape. The group is made up entirely of rats, except for the leader; he's a fox. And is now waving a cutlass under the otter's nose. "Give ush any gold ye 'ave!" The smell emanating from the group is enough to make a bog barf.
The otter however hardly stops running. He falls to his knees, belly resting on the ground as he does. He grabs the fox's shirt and pleads, "Please! You have to help me! /She's/ coming!"
As if on cue there is a voice from just around the bend, "Oh Mr. fluffy Otter!~ Where /are/ you~ come out come out to play! I just want to snuggle you until you can no longer breeeAAAaAaath!"
The fox, for his part, wasn't expecting that. He stands there speechless as a rat screams like a little girl, his instinctive fear triggered by the creepy call. The fox boss finally gets his brain turned back on and goes to slap the otter with his cutlass. "Leggo o' me!"
The otter falls to the ground, only to scurry around the fox, paws over his head, tail wrapped around himself. "She's /here/...she found me! I'm done fore!"
Who could possibly incite this much terror into an otter? The answer becomes clear as a head looms over the bend of the road, just past the trees. It is a large scaly head with flaired fins on either side. "I see~ you~" The serpent stares unblinkingly at the group. Her head then raises higher as the rest of her long green scaled body appears. "Oh! You brought /friends/. How thoughtful of you. I haven't had dinner in WEEKS."
Says Tulip the Adder.
A couple more rats scream like toddlers and run away! So the fox is now left with 3 rats and 1 scared spitless otter. However, he is made of sterner stuff than most bandits, and he holds his cutlass out at the adder...albeit with a shaking paw. "Git...git outta 'ere, ya /monstah/! I'll....I'll make ya regrit evah comin' aftah me, y'ken?!" He's either brave or crazy. It's hard to tell which.
The adder slowly slides up in front of the fox. She tilts her head to one side, tapping her tail on the side of her snout, "Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, no." Tulip lunges forward, teeth poised to into fox!
The fox screams as he gets bit, but, keeping his wits about him, he goes to stab the adder in the FACE with his sword! The remaining rats leap forward and go to drive their weapons (2 spears and 3 swords) into the adder, as well!
The snake recoils from the sword strike. "You /dare/ try to fight me? How rude! Why can't you just let me eat you and be done with it!" She glares murder and hate at the rats, "Oh, this will just not do..." She goes to swipe at them with her tail, using it like a base ball bat to keep them at bay...
4 out of 5 rats gets batted aside like so many baseballs. With a jointed yell, they hit the ground, some groaning, the others unconscious. The fox is dead, and the last remaining rat, having managed to avoid the adder's tail, gives out a small "meep" and tries to stab the adder in the face! He'll probably miss because he's shaking so badly from fear.
Tulip leans backwards, out of the reach of rat's sword. "Oh, aren't you so ADORABLE. Look at you quake with fear. I could just gobble you right up." There is a pause, and then the snake does just that! Quickly lunging forward in an attempt to scarff up the rat in one bite!
The otter by now is more than terrified. Grabbing the poison filled fox by his chest and shaking him. "Come on! Don't die on me yet! Get up! Get up! You need to saaaaaaaaaaaave me!"
The fox is dead. Like, beyond dead. He can't help anybody. The rat gives one last scream and sticks his sword up so, as best as he can do, it is the first thing that enters the adder's mouth. The other rats get up and run away!!
The adder's eyes widen out as the sword pierces through the top of her mouth and through her brain. She was...not expecting that. The great adder slumps to the side, eyes becoming X shaped to signify that she is dead.
"You... you did it...you killed the adder." Liask begins to laugh, he throws his paws into the air, "I'm sav-"
CHOMP!
The fat bellied otter let's out a panicked scream Ageless's jaws come down upon him. The snake comes form the woods in ambush, and despite Liask's heavy frame he wolfs the creature down. Soon all that is left of Liask is his tail as it's slorped down like a noodle. "Dang kids. Making all this noise on my properties and slaying each other on my road...go find a park to do battle in ye mangy mongrals!" The old snake then turns and slithers away amid the muffled screams coming from his distended belly.
Thanks for reading!
