[vela]

Hello, and welcome *drum roll* to the first character development situation! Choose a character (of two or five) write your paragraph, and post it here!



The Situation

Your character(s) walk into a room full of beasts that they don't know, drinking October Ale and having a good time. They trip on the way in, and somebeast titters. What do they do?


OOH ooh, OOH! Dramatic moment! *cue another drum role*

[Malum]

Malum falls to the ground, her head hitting the ground. She spins around looking for the culprit that tripped her, and laughed about it. She sees a drunken mole, laughing and pointing. She pushes him out of her way as she makes her way into the crowd of unknown beasts. Malum sees drunken otters, shrews, mice, ferrets, and even some rats! She shrugs and sits down at the bar, asking, "Hey, can I have...a Strawberry Fizz? Thanks."
The bar keeper spins around, laughing, and yelling, "Whaz da mater perty ding? downt like drinkin?" He asks, with a heavy accent. She grabs her sword and glares at him, walking back out of the bar, thirsty and looking for somewhere else to drink.

OOC: LOL I think I elaborated too much Oh, well, Oh, and by the way, you should allow people to submit their own Siteations Here's a website that does this (they call them missions) :

[Fwiffle]

OOC: Hey Malum, we have only just started, give us a chance. ;]


BIC:

Eelo wandered into the crowded room. It wasn't normal for him to come to a place like this, but today he felt in a strange mood. His tail swished behind him, swaying about totally carefree. His eyes were constantly searching through the masses of creatures for somebody he knew but there was no beast that he seemed to recognize. Not that they were easy to see in the first place, they all had their backs turned talking loudly to each other in drunken, mixed up speech. Some were being a bit more modest and, knowing when to stop, just stood around talking in a slightly more dignified manner without drinks.
His mind wandered a little too far away and his feet became tangled in his waving tail. He fell violently to the floor, the resulting slap causing most of the creatures around him to halt their chattering. For a while it was totally silent until some beast in the background snorted. A few small laughs followed before whispers could be heard. Eelo was the kind to be constantly making a fool of himself and never really care. His sarcasm was his biggest weapon. He pushed himself over onto his back after falling onto his stomach and spread out his arms into the crowed area. There wasn't much room, but he would make some. Coughing loudly he began to shake his arms and legs about all over the floor in a very undignified and immature way.

"Woooo! Look at me, swimming on the floor. Oh yeh, that's right. Swimming. On. The. Floor."

He laughed crazily before freezing and staring with wide eyes at the creatures around him. He then calmly got up and stood with a satisfied smile on his face.
Another job well done.
He bowed politely to a Hedgehog that stood nearby, who's face was a look of horror, before walking off into the cluster of bodies as if nothing had happened.

[Paprica]

Ringa timidly opened the door to the pub. It wasn't like her at all to come to a place like this, but Paprica, who had come down with the Hare Flu, said that October Ale was the best cure. Ringa had argued, of course, but Paprica always won out on the subject of drinks. Ringa shimmied to the side, avoiding the two hedgehogs making their way out into the snow. A draft of cold air made Ringa shiver and move farther in the crowded pub. She picked her way delicately through the crowd, avoiding any touch if she could manage it.

She made it to the bar and quickly ordered a bottle of October Ale. She attracted dark glances from the creatures beside her. She shuddered and looked away quickly. Thankfully, their attention was diverted by a laughing mob of creatures threw a punch-drunk otter out the door. The pub roared with laughter, making Ringa's ears hurt. The barmouse, noticing Ringa's pained expression, smiled comfortingly at Ringa.*

Here ya are, Ma'am. *The mouse said, shoving a wrapped bottle of October Ale in her direction.* Have a nice day. *He said as Ringa paid him. She thanked him and made her way through the crowd again, anxious to be gone. She was almost out the door when an intoxicated badger bumped into her, knocking her down. He roared with laughter.*

Watch where ya goin'... you... you... *He swayed a bit, clearly confused. Then he shaked his head and waved a large paw at her. Ringa picked herself up, thankfully the ale was undamaged, and went out the door into the snow.*

[Riveneye]

ooc:I don't really have an idea of where I was going with this. I think I was trying to imagine a drunken Riveneye that didn't realize he was starting to act like everybody else or something. I don't know. It was fun to put together though.

Riveneye walked into the tavern. He watched in disgust as drunken beasts gambled, fought and danced crazily. He didn’t come here every day, but enjoyed coming here with friends frequently. However tonight was different from other times. He had come here alone and he didn’t recognize anyone in the room. Several steps into the room, he tripped over an empty bottle. Trying to avoid a server he slammed into a table. As he hauled himself off the floor he was met by an angry drunk hedgehog and vole.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
Riveneye turned to face the disgruntled vole.
“Well maybe I wouldn’t have tripped if you hadn’t left your junk lay.”
The hedgehog leaned in towards his face breathing in Riven’s face, the smell of alcohol heavy on his breath.
“Or maybe you shouldn’t have been such a clumsy, stupid mouse.”
The drunken hog could hardly blink, before Riveneye was to the side of him pointing his dagger at his throat. The sense of danger seemed to wake up the hedgehog a bit from his drunken stupor.
“I strongly suggest you hold your tongue. I don’t take kindly to people that push me around and drink very excessively.”
And with that Riven seated himself at the counter and proceeded to order.
“Pint of Nutbrown beer. Heavy on the foam.”
The otter tavernkeeper muttered to himself as he went to fetch the drink.
“What does he think I am. A magician.”
Riven sipped the foam of the drink and looked at his surroundings. At first he wanted to get out as quickly as possible but now things didn’t seem so bad. Maybe he would meet someone in here that he would actually like. He put his drink down and let out a hiccup.
“Stupid hiccups. Must have drunk that too fast. Well maybe I’ll stay for a little while. I’m not that good at dancing but maybe it will be fun.”
Riven disappeared into the crowd looking for something to do that wasn’t against his ethics.

[vela]

Ooh, *clap clap* great job, peeps! I luff yours, Ingas. 'looking for something that wasn't against his ethics' XD. Terrific, Riv!

[Riveneye]

Thanks. I thought I would try and incoperate some abstract words. XD

[vela]

Sounds a bit like me on DAB, XD. Writing Thrush as a dibbun is so fuuuuun. XP I get to make fun of her and sound sophisticated at the same time! (heh, maybe the big words thing s a Trekkie/SF trait only, but if it is, we luff it)

[Paprica]

Vela, you're a trekkie too?!?!?!? < Trekkie buddy!!!!! Go, Team Kirk!!!!

[vela]

HUZZAH! *huggles* Have you seen any TNG?

[Neildown]

Down walks in casually but a bit cautious as he knows no one in the place. This was the closest place around that had anything to drink and he was THIRSTY. He trips and falls to the floor. He jumps up, furious, ready to swing at someone but realizes half the beasts here are drunken and probably don't have a clue what's going on... And there was no way to tell exactly who tripped him. He continues to the counter in a slight temper, his mouth dry as a desert, pushing through the crowd. He sits on a stool and asks the bartender for a drink of water, then leaves.

[Paprica]

What's TGN?? My friend (who is an uber Trekkie) made me watch the new movie and I LOVED it!!!!!!!! (I <3 Chris Pine... 83 Who doesn't?!)

[Lisolette]

(ooc: I'm going to do this in order. First situation is Lissy, second is Brainard, third is Sera, and etc. :3 )

BIC: Lisolette stepped into the tavern and board. She gazed at the drunken, dancing, and barfing beasts. It seemed like a place where Woodlanders and Vermin could go and have a good time, without beating, slicing, or slaying each other.

She had heard good reports from a hedgehog called Clevvy. "Oh, just becuase it's called a tavern doesn't really make it a tavern, Lissy!" Clevvy had said, "All of the beasts are nice, and they'll treat anybeast like family!" Lisolette began to wonder if Clevvy had lied to her, but believing it was so she had even offered Sera the Badger to come, but she was busy doing helping Friar Flour cook stuff.

Lisolette began walking, and with a gasp she tripped hard onto the wood floor. She heard a snicker, and looked to the side to see a weasels foot-paw quickly be tucked under a table. Grumbling, Lisolette got up and smacked the weasel hard on the head before continuing her journey to the bar. There was a growling behind her, and in an intoxicated rage the weasel ruched up to the otter-maid, putting her into a head-lock of some sorts, only with Lissy still being able to stand and not bend over. Gasps were heard from both Woodlanders and Vermin alike as they rushed over to the opposed otter-maid and the weasel. But they stopped short when Lisolette grabbed the weasels paw, and while bending over threw him over her back, and with a dull thud onto the floor.

Someone from the weasels group (Lissy couldn't tell if he was a hordebeast, tribe-member, or a corsair) shouted, "Come on, Friff, yer not gonna let some otter-maid beat ye up!"

A mouse growled at the shouter, "I bet yah' she can!"

The crowd began to split, Woodlanders to Lisolettes back, and Vermin behind Friff. The weasel unsheathed his sword and waved it cunningly in-front of her before grabbing his shield with a spike in it's center. Eyes narrowed, Lisolette grabbed her two swords. "GET HER, FRIFF!" Called out a Vermin. "TEACH HER THAT WEASELS AREN'T THE TYPES TO GET PUSHED AROUND!"

"Watch out for that spike, otter-maid!" A Woodlander incouraged.

Friff and Lisolette charged. Friff attempted a hack to her arm, but she parried with Salamandastron sword, and before the weasel could slam his shield into her skull, Lissy jumped back, and cutted into Friff's ear with her corsair sword. Yowling, Friff slammed the shield into her side, making the otter-maid jump to the side.

"WAIT!" Cried out a squirrel as he jumped out of the crowd, "No weapons! The only way we can tell who wins is through brute strenght!" There was a roar of agreement, and with some resentment Lisolette gave her weapons to the squirrel as Friff gave his sword and shied to a ferre.

After some patching up the fight began once more. Friff pounced on Lissy, but she kicked him off of her. Getting on her feet, the otter-maid rushed Friff from behind, jumped onto his back, and began to beat up his temples. Friff leaped backwards, slamming her against the floor, and enabling her to get up with his weight. Growling, Lissy still hit his temples with her fist, and sometimes even nipped the tip of his ears. On one of these nips, Lisolette tugged very hard on the ear she wounded, and with a cry, Friff ripped her jaws from his ear and got up.

Then spun around just in time to get hit in the stomach by an otter-maid.

Falling down, the two rolled began to roll around the clearing, punching, kicking, scratching, clawing, biting, nipping. Until dramatically a hedgehog flung open the door.

"It's the owners brother-in-law!" Gasped both Vermin and Woodlanders alike, and the crowd dispersed. After the dispersal, Friff glared daggers at Lisolette before stomping over to the door, the hedgehog moving out of the way just in time.

Realizing that the hedgehog was Clevvy, Lissy waved a paw to him, who waved back. Together they went to the bar and ordered, chatting away happily.
