(All right: Enter Frostbitten) Frostbitten hummed a little tune he picked up a while back, traveling next to a fence that man made. He was afraid of them, that's why he ready to bolt. Although, he did try to hide often in the green bushes, but it was kind of easy to notice his pure white fur. So he did his best to get along with The Thousand Enemies. Some of them started to call him a healer that went around healing them, in their eyes. To him, he really wasn't good at healing, but somehow, he did manage to get them back on their feet. He loved to joke when they hunted him to see how he would react. One time, after fixing an owl's wing, the owl put a feather next to his left ear to show that no one could mess with Frost the medic. Sometimes Frost slept in a fox's den, other times he slept underneath a tree underneath an owl's shadow, other times he would sleep underneath rocks just to find a place to sleep. He was happy the Thousand left him alone now, before, they would chase him until he found a hole or they got tired. He stopped breifly to eat some clover before continuing. |

Gooseberry stood awkwardly between the groups of rabbits. Now that they were all safe, just about, she began to twitch her tail nervously. She didn't know much about them at all. Maybe just that they had a liking for carrots, just like any other rabbit in the whole world. Oh, and that one of them was practically the most daring rabbit she had ever seen. She had gained respect however for the buck that had gone back to retrieve the tharn doe. Not sure of their names, since she had been too terrified to listen properly, she decided to call the Tharn Doe, Daredevil and Leader. Though she noted to herself not to call one of them leader straight away, in case she was wrong. That had happened before. "Is all of you here?" she addressed who she thought was the most calm at the moment. " Honestly, men and dogs. All for a few carrots....." Gooseberry noticed that everyone was quiet. "Okay.....I didn't tell you about the man did I?" Tharn Doe seemed to have figured it out however and Gooseberry couldn't stop herself tensing to run. "Excuse me for being rude...but what are we waiting for?" |

It was when he was futher down that he heard a dog barking. "Wonder if he's chasing something," Frost shuddered at the thought of it chasing rabbits. He wasn't to terrified if word got around that a healer rabbit was going around. Maybe he would get luck and this dog has heard of him. Fortunatly, for Frost, the dog was on the other side of the fence. Noticing a few rabbits on the same side as him, he stopped, not knowing wether he should bolt or not. |

Cayenne shook herself out. She felt incredibly stupid having been paralyzed in the face of fear, only to be yelled at by Rowan. Had she any chance of being anything to him but a subservient doe, she was almost sure those chances were diminished. Though what chance did I have anyway...? she thought bitterly to herself. Hearing the new doe speak, she looked up to her and nodded. "I saw the man. But I don't think he has any business shooting a rabbit that isn't in his garden." Looking back towards where the dog snarled behind her, she shivered. "Though, perhaps moving a little closer to home would be a good idea." Fireweed heard a soft noise behind her and turned on the paws of a warrior, all riled up from what she had just seen and ready to attack. What she saw was a blindingly white rabbit. "Don't look so shy," she said to the buck, figuring that if she were going to establish a good reputation, she may as well do so now. "We're not gonna bite." [[Newfolk!

Rowan looked at the new rabbits. What a strange luck! Barely a day ago, he had been all alone, but by now he had met many other rabbits – and each of them seemed to be a hlessi. Maybe he and Cayenne will be able to fulfill their dream of creating a new warren after all? That thought caused a small smile to appear on his mouth. They were probably going to face some hardship before they achieve that goal, and yet Rowan couldn't help but feel optimistic. “True. It isn’t much for our first raid at farm,” he said to the new doe. “But with a little practice…” He glanced at the fence, behind which the dog still watched them intently. It couldn’t hurt them now, but if the dog brings attention of the man, then they would be in trouble. Unlike other enemies, man didn’t have to catch rabbits to kill them. “Cayenne is right. We need to move,” Rowan said, and then he addressed the newcomers: “If you have nowhere else to go to, then follow us. We will lead you to the safe place.” Edited by Myrkin, Oct 9 2012, 05:52:51 PM.

Gooseberry lent her head to the side at his kind offer. She would have thought he needed a little more information about her, but as he didn't ask, she didn't give. "Thank you, I will." A thought was spared for her small warren just beyond the fence that she had emerged from, but banish it she must. It was time to leave, and never go back. "If you want some tips on when the man is not around, I will give them." Gooseberry smiled. "I'm Gooseberry by the way. I've lived near the farm my whole life and have observed his movement. If you and your friends want to get some Flay-rah, its safe around Ni-Frith and all night, though watch out for Brandy, the dog. " Hoping that was enough to give them a general idea of how helpful she was willing to be, Gooseberry sat quietly. |

Frostbitten cursed his own fur for not hiding him. Stroking the owl's feather, Frost looked closely at the odd little group. The one who was talking about the dog was called Gooseberry. "I think I could help you with the dog," Frost said slowly. "If he heard stories about me, we should be safe. Let's just say that the Thousand and I have an agreement. To them, I am known as the Healer." He then paused and touched the owl feather. "To the other rabbits, I am known as Frostbitten." Frost was completely nervous, talking to other rabbits. He felt fine when talking to his enemies, but when it came to others like him, he wanted to bolt. |

When her question was met with nothing but silence, Sage crept forward in the cramped area where she could sense her friend and reached up, pushing her wet nose into the side of his face comfortingly. "Runt?" -------line------ Cayenne looked up at the white rabbit, Frostbitten, with a look of hope. "Healer, are you? We've got a broken up little doe back at the warren, if you know anything about that. She doesn't even... remember who she is." She looked around at the other rabbits to back her in this, knowing that this buck could be something not worth slipping by. Fireweed seemed to clam up at the mention of the doe--probably worried, Cayenne concluded. Does like herself tended to worry all the time for other rabbits, and Fireweed was probably the same, just had different ways of showing it. "Think you might be helpful in that situation?" Cayenne finished, turning back to the almost-stranger. The thought of someone being around to help the nameless doe remember who she was terrified Fireweed, and in desperate attempt to change the subject, she turned away from the conversation completely, calling out, "Well, whoever is coming- my, quite a band of newcomers we've got here..." she scurried over to Rowan and, in a quick show of affection brushed against him, as though he were already hers. "But let's be on our way right now, you never know what's lurking around the corner... or behind that fence. I get the feeling we'll be having a bit of trouble with this farmer in the life we're laying ahead of us. Let's save that trouble for another day, yes? Off we go." |

Frostbitten stroked his feather again, his habit of thinking, before saying, "If she can't remember who she is, the most likely case is amnesia. I must ask what happened for her lose lose her memory. I then must ask for you to take me to her." Frostbitten then leaned back against the fence. "Other than that, I would have to say that time is the best remedy for her to gain back her memories." He could see that two of the does were worried about the amnesia rabbit. "But, I will do my best to help her if you so desire." He then looked over to the one who was trying to save trouble for another day. "If I am to travel with you," Frostbitten said to her. "The will be no danger as long as they see me and the owl feather." Then to himself, he muttered, "Maybe I've been traveling alone for too long. I could do with a warren for a while." |

Redd was terrified. About three days ago man had come bringing the white blindness to Old Oak warren, and it had spread. The smart ones that had been lucky to escape infection, mainly the outskirters with hidden holes, had fled into the winds. Redd had been one of them. He crouched under a scraggly bush near a fence, shivering, making some branches of the bush vibrate. A dog was chasing birds on his side of the man fence, but he didn't see the rabbits of the other side of the fence. Another spasm of fear swept through him. It was so strong that two low sweeping branches of the bush clacked together. The dog looked up, and started toward the bush. Redd closed his eyes in horror, hoping it was a dream. OOC: Could someone summarize it? Edited by Dandelion, Dec 13 2012, 02:13:00 PM.

OOC: Summarize the plot? Alright. It starts with Cayenne and Rowan, who meet each other after leaving their respective warrens. They talk a bit and Cayenne says she would like to create her own warren, where she and other rabbits could live happily. Despite the difficulty of that task Rowan agrees to join her. They travel together, barely avoiding a fox. Not long after they meet Dash and Runt, who join them. They are watched by Fireweed. She attacks another doe, Sage, who manages to escape. Fireweed then calls for help and when Rowan and others come, she pretends to be a victim of attack. Rowan helps Freweed by carrying her on his back. Meanwhile, a buck and former captain of Owsla called Arvens helps Sage to reach hidden burrow. Soon the other group arrives in vicinity and Arvens lead them to burrow as well. The next morning rabbits are awaken by Sage, who seems to have some kind of amnesia (so she doesn't say anything about what was done to her by Fireweed). After some talk, most of rabbits decide to go to look for some flayrah. Runt and Sage stay behind. Cayenne, Dash, Rowan, Arvens and Fireweed reach a farm, which has a fence around it. They dig a tunnel under a fence and start gathering some flayrah. Meanwhile, Runt and Sage talk with each other, being more or less friendly in one moment and quite agressive in another. The farm group meets two other rabbits, Gooseberry and Arrow, and then they barely escape a dog and a human. Outside of farm bounderies they meet another rabbit, Frostbitten. --- Sorry for not posting for so long. I'll write something tomorrow. |

Sage’s question didn’t register in Runt’s mind at first, as it was focused on other things. Images of rabbits he had met a day before… Scenes of running and commotion… More strangers, who might join the warren… Talks about a doe with no memory… A healer of the Thousand and rabbits with Owl feather next to his left ear… A daredevil… A doe who was trying to show her willingness to be helpful… Runt saw all of these and more. He saw something closer to him: Sage asking him some question and when she didn’t get the answer she touched him. Her friend? Runt “woke up” from his half-dreaming state. He gazed at Sage in surprise caused by that one thought he had been able to read from her mind. He was her friend? That was shocking idea. All right… Maybe when they weren’t jumping to each other’s throat, they were acting quite nice towards one another, but was that enough to call them friends? “What were you asking?” he said, trying to act as normally as he could, even though he doubted that Sage wouldn’t notice his earlier reaction. “Why I left my old home? Well… I’m not good at making others like me. It must be shocking news to you, I know,” he said with his best sarcastic voice. “I was so good at making enemies, that finally the whole warren decided that they had enough of me.” |

[[Oh man. It's been like a year of RPing and it was summarized into 5 paragraphs. xD lol, nah, this story thread is incredibly awesome and will hopefully pick back up to the posting frequency it sometimes gets to being.]] "Hardly a reason to throw someone out of their home," said Sage, pulling back from the buck in an unreadable manner once more. She had caught the look of surprise that had spread across Runt's face as she was going towards him. Even she had surprised herself in that moment, showing such a gentle attitude towards an unresponsive rabbit. Normally she would just shaken her head at the lack of response and curled up into herself, letting the world rush around her with an indignant composure. Why did she think it necessary to pull the near-stranger out of his thoughts? And in such a vulnerable way! Settling again once more beside him, leaving a small gap that begged to be filled, she glanced off into the darkness once more, allowing the words to fill the chamber. In all honesty, a small part of her didn't believe that that was the whole reason as to why Runt was here with her today, but she showed no signs of this assumption. "And your friend, the close and personal one snuggling up to that other doe this morning... Did they have enough of him, too?" ------- Cayenne heard the white rabbit say this and give a warm look--not at the prospect of someone who could protect them, but the idea that she might be able to help the traveller. "I haven't very much to offer," she said softly, rounding her way over beside him and giving him a supportive muzzle, "but if you're really looking for a home, we've found a safe little hole to expand upon which we've just begun to settle down in. Our home is in its very early stages of development, but everyone is welcome..." Thinking back to her original intentions for creating a new home, her face became distant and ambitious. "...and everyone is equal," she added, more to herself than to anyone else. The dog on the other side of the fence had been barking up a storm all the while as the rabbits were holding there meeting in the brambles. No one had really paid any mind to it as the noise rattled on, but the thing that instantly caught Fireweed's attention... was the moment that it fell silent. The entire group seemed to hold their breath as they listened for the cause of such deafening silence, and after what seemed to be an eternity, a low growl sliced through the air... as though another victim had been found. And, suddenly, a new thought came to Fireweed's mind--the image of Cayenne as she had crouched in her tharn state back in the field, with Fireweed focusing a horrified amount of attention on her. She did not see then what she now depicted in the background--just back beyond Cayenne, hidden in the farmer's rosebushes... another stranger had crouched, watching the scene from where he stood. "Someone else is in there," she whispered through the silence that blared once more. |

As the dog began running, Redd bolted from his bush. He squeezed under the fence and came up in the middle of a group of, predictably startled, rabbits. Redd smiled nervously, "Heh," He said, for he could think of nothing else to say. Then he ran away from them, the dog. He could do nothing but run, and it was a miracle he wasn't tharn. |

Frost hadn't minded the dog, or the doe that gave him a supportive nuzzle. In fact, he kind of liked it. It was then he decided to do something about the dog. "Hey, dog," Frost said, going up to the fence and banging it. "Would you kindly stop barking? The Healer has spoken!" Much to the other rabbits surprise, the dog stopped. "Th-the Healer?" the dog yelped. "I-I am sorry! My apologizies." "Thank you," Frost said. "All this barking kept me from thinking." |
