Logged Sometime In July, Yeah, Whatever


Leading Josh into the abbey, Belliger noticed somebeasts over by the pond... And somebeast is exactly who he needs to talk to right now. "Ahoy, there!" He gives a wave from almost clear across from the gate to the pond.

Kevarr sighs, frowning. It was worth asking, at least. Her ears quirk as Belliger calls, and she looks over toward the shrews.

Josh is chewing on a blade of grass while glancing around. So this is the Abbey...spiffy place. Hearing Bell give a greeting, the shrew gives a wave as well while following behind him quietly.

Victor looks over at the shrews and back to Kevarr "Sorry couldnt be of much help lass"

Belliger reaches the pond, and gives a second greeting in the form of a nod to both Victor and Kevarr. "Am I interruptin'?" He shifts his weight. "Sorry if I wos, but this's urgent."
"Not really." Kevarr's whiskers twitch, however, and she lifts her paw to her forehead. "What is it?"

Josh stops behind Belliger still looking around quietly. A nod is given to the other two out of courtesy.

Belliger lowers his voice... He seems to forget that he's within abbey walls. "Th' Log-a-Log o' th'Guosim 'as been captured an' sold inta slavery." Right to business, this one. "I was wonderin' if ye'd min' if'n I asked a few questions."

Victor tilts his head "Log a what.." he sits down and frowns "Sorry"

Kevarr releases a groan that is half exasperation, half something else. "Yes, go ahead."

Belliger seems a bit hesitant, especially after that little groan there. But screw how others feel, this is a CRISIS. "D'ye know anythin' about a group o'slavers called th'Black Rose?"

Kevarr says, "No, I've never heard of them. Though I doubt it will stay that way. Keep going."

Belliger looks at the ground. -That's- disheartening. Objective TWO. "'ow 'bout th'Rogues' Guild? E'er 'eard o'them?"

Devon walks in, he kicks a rock and glaces around, seeing the familar fox he walks over to him as he looks at the others.

Victor smiles as he sees Devon" Devon..greetings" He then goes quiet again.

Kevarr shakes her head. "No, I haven't."

Josh nods to Devon then goes back to looking at the grounds. Quiet type this shrew.

Devon sighs, he isnt feeling all that great still.

Belliger sighs, running a paw over his headfur, getting visibly frustrated. "Any slavers at all 'n th'area? E'er 'eard of any slavers?" He throws some imaginary object in anger, pacing away from the pond, then stopping, remembering one more detail... Well, not quite. "Josh. Remember tha' ferret? Were ye listenin' t'wot 'e was sayin'?"

Victor frowns, he looks over at Devon and then the shrews "There was one I saw..couple days go"

Josh blinks and looks back to Belliger. "Aye...said the one 'e sold Lassik to was a cat by the name o' Quickclaw. It was up near that stone bridge by the river."

Devon sits down in the grass and hugs his knees to his chest, he mutters to himself..his eyes go wide at the name quickclaw and he shivers.

Kevarr's very short patience reaches its end. "/Yes/, I've heard of slavers before. Damn me for not knowing of this particular group your leader went and got captured by." Her ear twitches slightly as Josh speaks, and she glances toward Devon.

Ah! It's a nice warm day.. A wonderful day to take a nice, quiet dip in the Abbey Pond. Discord walks toward the pond, barefoot, since she's left her boots back at the campsite.. and looking rather cheerful. Until.. she sees.. a crowd. "Gosh darnit.." Discord mutters, aloud, as her ears instantly flatten back against her head. "... What does this look like.. a meeting room or something..?"

Devon suddenly looks more pale and starts to go and leave.

Victor goes over to Devon "You ok?"

Belliger turns as Victor speaks. "Aye? Does th'name Quickclaw soun' familler t'ye..." He trails off as his eyes catch Devon, but he doesn't say anything to stop him.
Kevarr's tail twitches in clear irritation. Discord is heard, but the voice isn't yet recognized.

Devon tenses at the name again.."Dum...cat.." he says weakly..he speaks up, "Quickclaw is a s..s..slaver.." He frowns.

Josh glances over to Discord but then to Devon as he starts to leave.

Victor shakes his head "No..errr" He looks at Devon and seems to be thinking "The cat..that had you..was..?" He blinks, at the time he didnt know the name..now he does.

"... .. Or maybe everybody's just /deaf/.." Discord states, irritably, as she brushes a paw back through her hair and moves toward the bank.. Hmph. Well, she's not going to jump in with everyone here.. and she doesn't see Kevarr quite yet. "Drama, drama, drama.." she mutters.. though, Dis is actually being good. She's.. been good lately, in the Abbey. Ever since the scary!marten incident.

Belliger clenches his teeth together, tightly, closing his eyes and taking a breath before speaking. "'ey, mouse. Ye know Quickclaw, then? Min' tellin' me where 'e keeps 'isself?"

"I'll just stand here and pretend to be part of the scenery then," Kevarr gripes, for the sheer purpose of griping. Oh and...Discord. Her head suddenly jerks toward the voice, and her eyes narrow to slits.

Devon frowns as he looks to Belliger "He had me as a slave for a long time..then I got away during a flood..but he recently recaught me.." He shivers some "Rather not see him again..lucky to be alibve acahlly..he usally kills slaves that ..leave"

Victor stays nearby letting them talk.

Devon says, "I just got free of him...not going back""

Josh just listens quietly from behind Belliger chewing on his blade of grass.

"A slaver that kills slaves..? Y'don't say!" Discord's voice rings out, above the din of others talking.. .. though.. one voice does catch her attention. The mousemaid's head swivels slowly as her eyes wiiiiden... to look toward Kevarr. ... Gulp. ..

Belliger looks like he means business. "Mouse, will ye -please- tell me where I can fin' this Quickclaw? Th'Guerilla Union o'Shrews in Mossflower would be indebted t'ye."

"Such as they are," Kevarr snorts.

Kevarr looks toward Discord. "What do /you/ want?"

Devon is quiet a while, its clear he is afriad of Quickclaw, he takes a breath and answers "Near a river, dont know the name of it..he used to live pretty far north, doesnt now"

Victor nods "He is right the feline was near a river..couple days from here?..guess depends on how fast walk"

Discord flattens her ears back against her head, taking the initiative /not/ to sit down. And instead just dipping a paw into the pond. ".. I'm visiting the pond.." she states, a little snarkily. But. Discord's definitly mellower than normal.. or just quieter XD

Kevarr exclaims, "Gracious me, what helpful information! that means we only have to comb the banks of every river in Mossflower from source to the ocean to find him. Unless of course he moves."

Devon frowns, "I know its north of here..if that helps"

Belliger grinds his teeth, and just looks to the ground. "Ferget it... Le's go, Josh." He's looking very disheartened, but his pace to leave the abbey is quick... That is, until he stops, once again. "Vermin. 'Scuse me, miss." He's referring to Kevarr, and he turns around, walking towards her.

Kevarr was about to address Discord again, when Belliger's words reach her, and her head snaps up, eyes still dangerously narrowed. She doesn't actually say anything yet, but that may or may not be a good thing.

Discord shifts her gaze from the shrew to Kevarr.. and then back toward the pond, as she steps forward to submerge both paws in it.

Devon watches the shrew start to leave, he wantts to help but fears even thinking of Quickclaw "I can..remember..some of what saw on way here..if helps any..the dirt road..bridge..went pass tall grass too..was a bit dark cause me and...my friend had to stop and make camp"

Belliger's eyes dart around, as if searching the air for something. "Isn' there a tavern er summat tha' only... err..." Lack of a better word. "Vermin can get in?"

Victor looks to Devon "Its ok..your safe now..he cant hurt you now"

Kevarr's ears flick to the sides, and she snorts. "Yes there is. Glad to see you know the local area so very well."

"You're lucky she hasn't hit you yet.." Discord remarks, tipping her head back toward the shrews and wading a little deeper into the water. Hee. XD

Belliger shrugs off the sarcasm. "This's... a 'uge favor t'ask o'ye. But i's fer the sake o'th'Guosim, an' I'll try an' repay ye as bes' I can."

Kevarr waves her paw impatiently. "I don't care about payment. Get to the point."

Victor listens quietly.

Discord amuses herself by walking out in the water, her pants now soaked.. She's /not/ going to strip down to her swimming attire in front of /this/ group. o.- Though.. that's practically all she's wearing, anyway. Shh.!

Belliger clenches his face. Odds of her agreeing with this are slim, and he knows this. "Could ye maybe... Go inta tha' tavern an' see if'n ye can get any sort o' dirt on this Quickclaw feller?"

Kevarr makes a face, though she seems to have expected the request. "I can't go into the Black Gull."

Victor looks at the shrews and hmmms, he clears his thoat some.

Belliger barely keeps himself from cursing very loudly. "...Oh. Then... I guess m'sorry bout wastin' yer time."

Victor speaks "Excuse me..sir shrew?"

Devon just sits back down being quiet.

Josh coughs and nods over towards Victor. "What about 'im Belliger?"

Kevarr's ears twitch. "I'm known in there," she says by way of explanation. "If I walk in, there isn't a chance of me walking out still breathing."

Discord snickers quietly at Belliger's words, rolling her eyes as she turns around a little to watch everyone. She's not dunking in the water.. Nope. That'll make her hair dye disappear ;.; ".. Maybe you all should go find some other vermin.. Just go around and ask for the slaver-types. They'll help you out, reeeal quick.."

Belliger shakes his head out of his daze. "Wot? Oh." He eyes Victor, stepping towards him twice. "Are ye sayin' ye would do tha' fer us?"

Victor nods slowly after a couple morments "Yes..I can try and find out something for ya"

Kevarr sighs grumpily, and turns back to Discord.

Discord glances over toward Kevarr, still keeping an eye on her in her peripheral. No words are offered.. but Discord is scowling. .. Slightly. Dumb .. people.. ruining her swimming..ness.

Belliger inhales deeply. "...Thankye. Thank ye very much. Wot's yer name, sir?" He holds out his paw, an incredibly grateful look crossing his visage.

Kevarr finally just snorts, loudly, and stalks toward the entry, making her irritation plain.

Victor watches Devon go and then looks back to Belliger, he shakes his paw "It is Victor"

SUCCESS! Discord cackles to herself, as she watches Kevarr stalk off. Yes. Success indeed. She defeated the marten!! Bwaha!! Discord's jubilation looks quite visible as she dips down into the water a little more with a /huge/ smile on her features.

Belliger grasps the paw firmly and shakes. "Belliger. An' this's Josh..." He gestures a nod over in the other shrew's direction. "If'n there's anythin' we can do ta repay ye, jus' let me know."

Josh blinks from his daze and nods to Victor. "'allo. Nice to meet ya Victor. Awful good o' ya to 'elp us."

Victor nods.."And your welcome, I will try my best ta help find out something"

Belliger takes another deep breath. "When can ye go? I don' mean t'rush ye, but as soon as possible'd be nice."

Victor blinks "Well...I can go tonight possiblly, if dont find out something ta night I can try tomorrow and the next day as well...usally more there at night think"

Belliger nods. "I'll meet ye jus' south o'th'place. I'll be waitin' fer ye... Jus' know tha' we're indebted t'ye."

Victor nods.

"... Can't you all just take this somewhere else..?" Discord asks aloud, as she pauses, and then .. well.. /dunks/ herself in the water. She'll do her hair again later >.< ".. Some people are trying to enjoy their lives?"

Belliger tenses up, and turns towards the pond. "Oh... M'sorry, this conversation 'olds in i's 'ands th'life o'somebeast tha's more 'n a little more important than yer little pleasure swim." Eeek. He starts walking, anyway, motioning for the two to follow.

Victor blinks, he looks back at the mousemaid and then goes to follow te shrews.

Josh sighs and follows after Belliger quietly.

Discord just giggles at Belliger's words, resurfacing with.. .. streakily blonde hair. ".. Actually, if you went out to /find/ the guy, it'd hold more worth. Sitting around talking about how nobody knows where he is.. really does little good."
"I's a she tha' we're lookin' fer." Leaving it at that, Belliger heads towards the entry. Exit. It's an exit if you're leaving, right?

".. Oh, forgive my lack of information..!" Discord states in a singsong voice, as she dives back under the water .. Bah. Her hair needed washing, anyway.. And it's not /completely/ blonde. Yet.
