Frith, he looks frightened. Ginger thought. There's definitely something dangerous nearby. Of course, it must have been very close by if Basil hadn't been able to warn her by stamping. But how close? She was about to follow Nutmeg into the grass when suddenly a voice forced her to stop. " My my, what have we here?" said the voice. It was almost soothing and melodic, and definitely feminine; indeed, it was a very pleasant voice. But that didn't stop the hair from standing on Ginger's pelt. Her heart raced. pitpat. pitpat. pitpat. pitpat. Some of the surrounding grass parted ever so slightly, revealing two paralyzing red orbs fixed into the emerging striped head. Pink tongue flickering in pure triumph, while the rabbit in front of it cowered. Adder!
(I hope that's good, it took me about half an hour to type up lol)

I'm also thinking about making a banner for the Warren if that's okay, since I know how to make Vectr art now lol. Plus it might draw in more members.)

(Sounds good Acro! I assume you're rping the adder? Also thanks)
Rye tapped his foot and huffed with impatience, but soon took hold of himself and focused on Buck in front of him. "Well if she's alright then I suppose there is no need to worry. Perhaps I should see her."
Basil cursed under his breath and instinctively stamped his foot in warning, bracing himself to take off for the warren. Nutmeg cowered in the grass as she saw the adder's glaring red eyes. "It talks?! What in Inle?" The first thing that caught her attention was how it spoke in Lapine. How could a snake know rabbit language? The second was that it was headed straight for Ginger, whom it seemed had gone tharn. Frith, it's gonna eat her! she thought. She barely noticed Basil's warning.

"Go on ahead long as you don't both her." Buck said twitching his nose. He didn't seem any harm in letting Rye see her.

"Hopefully El-ahrairah will watch over us while we deal with this stoat." Arborea said sitting up on her hindlegs looking at Spice. "I believe we can outsmart it in some way so no one is hurt." Livarot shock his head slightly. "Yes. But we can't jump forward without thinking."

Ginger heard Basil stamping, but she had indeed gone tharn. There was nothing she could do but cower, and gaze upon the enrapturing oculi that swamped her vision in red and held her firmly to the ground.
The serpent, of course, was quite amused at the display she had caused. "What frightened little creatures you are," she said pleasantly. "I must say, you do appear...quite...scrumptious" She inched closer and closer as she talked, purposefully drawing out her ariose speech. As she moved, she performed a small, almost ritualistic dance that could only be viewed as torture for the rabbit before her.
(I can't really decide if the adder should be friendly or not. It wouldn't make much sense, though I guess it would be interesting. Or maybe it can be a main antagonist of some sort, idk)

Spice sat back on his hind legs, thinking. "If there is only one stoat, then perhaps a hrair of brave Owsla could drive it off," he said. "And if the chief joined us we would have even more of an advantage. But I wouldn't dare let Flax-rah leave the warren with a peaceful mind without choosing a successor." Despite saying this, he truly did care for his chief; and he hated the thought of her meeting the same fate as Nettle. But he also understood that it was very possible for that to happen, hence his desire for the chief to choose a successor. It would be best for the warren he thought.

(Whichever is fine, as long as it's CREATIVE)
"Of course." Rye nodded, in an attempt to remain formal. "Ahh, there she is." he said as he spotted her resting near the Honeycomb.
Nutmeg was close to panicking. She wanted to do something, say something, anything that would snap her friend out of her stupor and make her run away. But she couldn't yell or stamp, for fear that the snake would turn its awful crimson gaze on her instead. It was then that she realized, she too had gone tharn. Unable to move, she could only watch as the adder drew closer to the cowering doe in front of it.
It was then that Basil shot out of the tall grass and leaped towards the adder, his hind leg stretched out to kick its face with claws unsheathed. Nutmeg, Ginger! Get out already!" he screeched.

Welcome Hawki ^.^)
The sudden flash of movement before her and Basil's screeching voice jarred Ginger back into reality. Without really thinking, she crashed into Nutmeg in an attempt to snap her out of her stupor. She would have kept running if she hadn't remembered Basil. The snake hissed at Basil and curled herself into a defensive posture, revealing her sharp fangs. It truly looked as if she were about to strike him. Ginger had turned to watch the ordeal, and at that moment, she realized something: I really don't want him to die! "Come on, Basil!" she cried. He had to follow them if they all wanted to make it out of this alive.

(We would love to have you Hawki!)
Rye turned to head in the direction of the chief, but his sandy eyes shifted to the side to glance at Buck. "I suppose you could accompany me if you wish."
Nutmeg felt a warm body crash into her, and a red furry texture took over her vision. With a jolt she was brought back into the reality of the situation: if they don't move they all die! She shook her head and stood up, willing herself to move forward despite the intense fear causing her muscles to protest her every move.
For a moment Basil thought he would go tharnas well, as the snake's bloody eyes entranced his green. Instead, his body seemed to move with a will of its own, returning to a rabbit's true instinct after a momentary lapse in judgement. At Ginger's call he turned tail and bolted out of the clearing as fast as his legs would carry him, trusting that the does would follow close behind him.

"You go on ahead. I'll be here keeping watch." Buck said. He figured Rye wanted to speak to the chief by himself.

"Very well." Rye responded expressionlessly. He bounced over to where the chief was resting near the Honeycomb. "Flax-rah, you've returned. I trust you are well?" he questioned, eyes searching for any visible injuries. The chief opened her blue eyes and blinked at the buck, registering what he was saying. "My neck stings a bit, but t'is not a problem. I should be fine."
(Hmm wondering about a potential sub-plot where the owsla starts to get competitive to be the successor)

(Thinking we need to start cleaning up activity around here. You guys know the rules. If you have a reason for being absent you should say so. I expect everyone to follow the once every 2-3 days rule that is stated on the front page.
Once again, if you aren't here for 2 weeks it's either a warning or removal from this rp.)

I suppose I should have mentioned that school and stuff would reduce my activity. Also I like that idea of the Owsla competing, if activity on this page were better then that would be really interesting)
Oh and welcome Silv!)
Ginger dashed away after Basil, huffing and puffing in fear. After a while, she forced herself to stop. "Basil!", she huffed. "Nutmeg! Are you two alright?"

(Silv you are accepted, good to have you! I'll add your characters shortly and you are free to rp)
(And Acro thanks, your activity has been real nice just a slight hiccup this past week. And yeah I'll likely push that sub-plot [or maybe main plot?] if we get enough active Owsla members; right now it probably wouldn't get very far.)
Basil skidded to a stop when he reached the bottom of the hill where the warren resided, and turned to see Ginger behind him. He took a second to collect his thoughts, breathing heavily, and said "I'm alright, I think. Where's Nutmeg?" he added, swiveling his head searching for his timid sister. Then she appeared, trotting out of the meadow and stopping behind the other rabbits. Panting, she squeaked "What in Inle?!"

Rye nodded at the Chief. "Be certain to keep from infection, Flax-rah. Well, I'll leave you to rest now." Flax nodded back at the buck as he turned around and left her side.
(Also heeeyy everybody I created a plots/sub-plots section on the front page. It's not particularly important right now but later it might be useful to keep track of things.)

Post by ✽Boop✽ on May 6, 2017 21:09:59 GMT -5
Rye stopped, noticing Buck standing nearby. Oh, yes she seems to be fine. A small neck wound. I believe we were lucky she returned only with that." Rye was looking at Buck but his sandy gaze wasn't quite focused on him; he seemed to be lost in thought.

"Well, I'm sure you have noticed we are all so very concerned with the Chief's safety." Rye began, shifting his paws uncomfortably. "Even the youngest kit knows that without Flax-rah, we have no leader. The Warren could descend into chaos."
