Our village has recently acquired some new members by fortuitous events and some of them have decided to become village guards. Currently these are in training for escort missions. We are asking for outside volunteers to act as escortees, if you will," the panda stated, "We'd use our own but the logic is that this presents a more real situation then someone we are familiar with. We will only borrow you about half a day, with food and drink provided. You'll be taken on a litter for a little trip through the woods, and if you take the northern party, in an underground tunnel route. Anyone interested?"

Trenton blinked gently. The shepherd had to think about it. How would Austin and Maxwell react to being going outside the limits of the community. However, Austin did tell him that he should get to know people and adventure around. He started to rub his forearm anxiously. "I...um...." He really wanted to go through the forest, he had never really seen an actually forest. He was use to the concrete jungle. He quickly looked at Elio. He really didn't know what to do in this situation.

"Sure I'm fine with that." Matatabi said.

"You can always say no if the idea makes you uncomfortable," the panda said to Trenton, noticing his unease, "And if you do need to contact your parents or owners, you should do so. We don't want to have any problems with taking a couple pets out in the woods without their no how and someone accidentally gets hurt. There really is no reason if someone would though. The woods we are going through are in our territory and well known and safe to us. Also, thank you to the one's who've decided to join. I'll need your names. And mine is Ellsward."

I'm Wiggins! Wiggins greeted. Nice to meet you!
Wiggins didn't want to bother with calling his parents, for fear that they would get angry at him for interrupting their work. But, he didn't want to cause any inconvenience to the pandas, so he took his cellphone to the other room.

"Nice to meet you," Jess said. "Now, Is there any particular reason you don't want the red pandas following you for the day?" she asked.

"Well, there's a simple answer. I don't wan'em too."

"Sure you may," the old woman said, her hand pointing at an actual bakelite rotary dial telephone.

"Fanks... Cor! Is dat real bakelite? Yer don' see dat much nowadays, innit!" Chris dials Derek's mobile number and after a short conversation obtains his permission to go with the pandas.
"Dad says I can go wiv you. So when do we star'?"

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 11:33 am

The phone picks up on the other line. Wiggins ears perk up.
Hey, mo--.... oh... okay... his ears lay back slightly.
No, no. I understand. I'll talk to you about it later... okay, bye. Wiggins hangs up, sighs, then walks back to the room.
As long as I make it back before dinner, it'll be fine. Wiggins replied. Those were the words mother said before he left the house.

"I-it's nice to m-meet you, Fellsward. M-my name is W-will." The mink made sure he had everything put away before he nodded. "I-i'm ready to go wh-when you are."

xhunterko · Post by **xhunterko** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 1:05 pm

OOC: I changed the name of the panda in the Leone's house cause I forgot I had used it earlier. -.-'

ic:

"Well we can start with you following me to our meet up point," Fellsward said to Will, and began walking.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was then Mitch realized he'd heard some names he hadn't before.

Huh, some new pets must've moved in. And Rikki would kill me if I don't invite 'em. Mitch thought. He sighed. Then he shrugged, and made his way to the living room.

"Morning Mr. and Mrs. Leone. I didn't know you had this many guests otherwise I'd of come in earlier," Mitch said. Ellsward saw him and immediately stiffened and straightened his back.

"Sir!" Ellsward said, Mitch instantly put a hand at his side flat and shoved it down. Ellsward nodded and relaxed.

"So if I may ask, who's your guests?" Mitch asked, looking at the pets.

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 2:18 pm

Elio put a hand over the GSD standing next to him. "This nice guy is Trenton, he lives by the other side of the street and just moved in. Valiant took him under his wing already, so I thought I should introduce him personally."

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 3:59 pm

My name's Wiggins. My dad is running for mayor, so he thought it would be a good idea to visit the panda's at some point. Sadly, he won't be joining us this afternoon. Wiggins offered a paw to the panda.

xhunterko · Post by **xhunterko** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 9:33 pm

"Name's Mitch," Mitch said to Wiggins, taking the paw, he offered his own to Trenton, "Nice to meet you as well." Mitch said to him.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 9:42 pm

Chris walks back towards the group of pets to introduce herself and promptly trips over the corner of the rug. She bounces up again even quicker though.
"Na- OOF! I'm fine! I'm fine! Name's Chris Mar'in." Chris offers Mitch her paw too. "May I aks why Ellsward called yer 'sir'?"

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Thu Mar 27, 2014 10:42 pm

Wiggins saw the panda's paw move to his left, to find the shepherd standing there. Wiggins jumped slightly, then walked behind Chris.

"No reason in particular, then," she said. "Would you be against hanging out with someone they are following?"

"Well. No. Not really...." Blay said.

Trenton slowly rose his paw in order to shake the Red Panda's hand. "Um...hello." He suddenly realized he forgot to call Austin. He wondered if he should. He looked toward Mitch and Elio. "What should I tell Austin? I know now how he would feel about me going into the woods or underground." He was twiddling his phone between the fingers of his paws apprehensively.

xhunterko · Post by **xhunterko** » Fri Mar 28, 2014 2:00 pm

Mitch shook his paw firmly.

"Eh, just tell him the truth, if he's going to say no, that's that," Mitch said, "I mean really, it is perfectly safe where you're going. As for Ellsward calling me sir. Um."

Mitch paused for a moment, pressing his paws together.

"Well, uh. Let's just say there is a reason, but I don't want to tell because I don't want to change your perception of me?" Mitch said nervously, hoping to avoid the answer.

Chris tips Mitch a knowing wink. "Alrigh'. It's yer own business. We won't pry... yer 'ighness." She adds the last bit quietly enough that only Mitch can hear it.

"Then how about you come with me to the red panda village," Jess suggested. "They're a really nice bunch."

Blay thought it over. "Fine." Blay decided. "But just for today!" He wanted to make that clear.

Fri Mar 28, 2014 10:33 pm

"No problem," She said. "I just need to go get Valsward and we can go." And so she began to head back to the red panda waiting for her

Pecan · Post by **Pecan** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 6:06 pm

Will nodded as he walked with the panda.

As he walked, he could hear a small voice in his head, that sounded familiar, say Go on, talk to him. He shuddered; talking wasn't his strong suit, what if the conversation went wrong, what if he made the other person sad, or angry, what if-
You won't get better if you don't practice. Will looked down, knowing that voice was right. It was just scary... no, he promised he'd try. That meant talking. Will finally turned toward his fellow walker and asked "S-so, you s-said you were a g-guard? What made you d-decide to do that?" Even as it came out, he mentally slapped himself. Idiot, that was probably to personal! he thought.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 9:29 pm

Wiggins nodded knowingly. Dad did some research before on the panda's so he could find ways to make things easier for them. This lead to Dad meeting the panda's before, but Wiggins didn't know which was the king or prince.

xhunterko · Post by **xhunterko** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 9:44 pm

Valsward smiled, as if he needed getting.

"Well now then, let's all head back this way," he said, turning and walking, "We're to meet up at the Leone's before the afternoon."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Are a guard, as well as why, well," Fellsward said, scratching his head, he thought a moment.

"My dad was a guard, and I liked to walk in the evening and stay up late," Fellsward said, "Watching the stars. You know your kinda shy, you'd make good friends with my son Roccie."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Thanks," Mitch said, "Nice to meet you Matabi."

"Young Mitch here likes to hang out with pets his age," Ellsward said.

"Say, this may sound odd, but my fiance' and I are getting married soon and I need to compile a list of guests. And she'd probably be pretty cross with me if I didn't invite you guys," he said, taking out his list and a pen, and putting them on the coffee table, "Regardless of if you want to come or not, could you write your names down for me so she doesn't use my tail as a foot pillow?"

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 9:48 pm

Chris is a bit hesitant to sign. "Wewl, I wouldn' wan' t' be an inconvenience a' awl. I wouldn' wan' t' impose on yer special day. Congratulations, by th' way!"

hypernovatic · Post by **hypernovatic** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 9:49 pm

"Sure." Matatabi said, signing his name.

xhunterko · Post by **xhunterko** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 10:56 pm

Mitch waved a paw at Chris.

"Thanks! Eh, we like guests, the more the merry, the less enemies you'll have," Mitch said, "We send guests and potential guests small gifts too."

The words "less enemies you'll have" echoed in Wiggins head.
Hey, congrats! I'll sign my name any time! he said shakily.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 11:07 pm

Chris picks up the pen and signs.
"Awlright den. I dunno our new address yet but we're number twenny one on dis street. Hey, yer know, if yer need a performer fer the reception or stag par'y or 'en's night den Dad an' I wiwl be 'appy to 'elp. We can take requests fer tricks too."

xhunterko · Post by **xhunterko** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 11:11 pm

"Cool! I'll talk to my fiance' and see what she thinks," Mitch said, then he noticed the rabbits hand, "Eh, don't worry, it's just an old expression. In the old days in our ancestors time, when someone was holding a party or a wedding, they'd invite as many guests as possible. That way no one would be cross and potentially attack said party. So, it's just good principle. Don't worry about your address. We'll figure it out, heh." Mitch hoped that explanation would calm the rabbit down a bit. He'd noticed his get away move earlier and didn't want to upset him further. And THEN he remembered there's going to be 50 or so wolves.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Sun Mar 30, 2014 11:17 pm

Very well. And should you need an extra pianist, you can ask me. I'm pretty good, if I do say so myself!

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 10:24 am

Chris also writes down Derek's phone number for Mitch. "I've always liked th' piana. Hey, perhaps yer could do an accompaniment fer my act sometime?" she suggests to Wiggin.

MrNeonShot · Post by **MrNeonShot** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 10:30 am

Any time! Would you like me to play a song? Wiggins asked.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 12:50 pm

"I'd love to 'ear yer play! Do yers 'ave a piana, Mr. an Mrs. Leone?"

Elio scratched his head a moment in puzzlement, not recognizing the word...then he got it. "A piano? But of course! My own grandmother, Lord bless her, left it to my sister and she to me. We have it down in the taverna. Come!" The old man motioned the pets to follow him
