OOC: omg Fiver, im so sorry about yesterday! my net dropped for the rest of the day, and my laptop died on me. I got it all fixed though, but im still soooo sorry! Stupid technology -.-
as for names, you can use names of precious stones, like emerald, ruby, sapphire...they could reflect the color of the rabbits eyes. Or you could use the seasons: Winter, Summer, Autumn, Spring...

Also, theres a rabbit in this post who i didnt sign up with. Hes just going to be in here for a few times, he isnt part of the group. His name is Starlight. Hes white with black spots all over.

IC: Snowflake and the others followed Copper to the borrow of Oakley, Max and Foxglove close behind. Snowflake looked over at her young friend.
Max,this isnt something a young buck like yourself shouldnt be hearing...Ill tell you whats happening after we speak to Oakleyrah, ok?" Max tried to argue, but Snowflake wasnt going to let him go. Disappointed, he went over to a patch of clover and began to eat, famished after playing so much.
As Snowflake and the others approached the burrow of their chief, they saw three strange rabbits nearby. "Wait here," Copper said, as he approached the rabbits. "Excuse me, not to be rude, but who exactly are you three? And what do you want?" He motioned for Snowflake and he others to go ahead inside to see Oakley. He knew he would get in trouble without asking permission to see Oakley, but Starlight should be down there watching who came in. As copper dealt with the strangers, Snowflake, Buckwheat, Sycamore, and Luna went into the burrow. They saw Starlight in the entryway to Oakley's burrow. "Who goes there?" Starlight asked. "C-copper sent us in to s-see Oakleyrah," Snowflake said, stuttering a little, still shaky from what she saw. "DId he?" Starlight said. "Starlight! Who is it?" Oakley called out. "Snowflake, Buckwheat, Sycamore and Luna," Starlight called back, "they say they need to see you, and that Copper gave the ok." "Hmmm...thats far too many rabbits....two may come here," Oakley called back. "Whos it gonna be then?" Starlight asked, turning to he four. Snowflake looked at Buckwheat. "I cant do it without you..." She said, looking down at he ground.
 
OOC: If only we were further along to the part when the actual warren departure is happening, when Snowflake actually talks to her Chief I would have then posted my last as it would have been a good time to re-introduce Hazel, Fiver, Dandelion or Bigwig with the backstory I had for it being possible for him to be there, you'd find it hard to say no. ^^

But what to say for the purpose of them being at Watership Down when they haven't left yet. -_- The three had been sent by way of Frith as far as the copse I wrote them to be at after which they'd be on the journey up to the first river or until they were safe, if Lendril being around were rumours or not, they'd be fine with the strangers there who once knew the down well unlike how some unknown rabbit could who wasn't a resident at all and had no clue. ^^

And it would help if you spaced your posts out a bit, seperate them. Also we should skip to the warren's departure, due to there being so few here. Which is why I asked PikaPal what would be best - a rabbit who could run and fight or a rabbit who is good at being a storyteller? with Hazel and Fiver as a part of the group, because I can't make this work while we're all talking to Oakley.

IC: Buckwheat turned his head to face Snowflake who was looking at the ground. She then said "I cant do it without you...".

"Well then, we'd better go inside so we can tell Oakleyrah what you saw." Buckwheat replied, re-assuring Snowflake as he entered the burrow where Oakley was sitting, with her back to the burrow's entrance.
 
IC: Snowflake launched into details about her dream to Oakley. She told him everything she had seen. Oakley's facial expression did not change at all. He was staring at her as if she was no more then a simple paranoid doe, a rabbit version of Chicken Little so to speak. He looked at her with an unchanging expression. "So you want us to leave the warren?" he asked simply. "Yes! we must!" She cried, just like her father before her. "No," Oakley said, "we will not. We are happy here, and our ancestors have made this place for us to be forever. Frith made this place for us to live,and we will NOT leave. If you choose to leave the warren, you may go, but do not try and convince anyone else to go with you, or I shall have you charged with treason." Oakley looked away, no emotion in his face at all.

Snowflake was terrified. Oakley knew her father had been right, so why didnt he belive her? Angry and confused, she ran out of the burrow. 'We must get the others and get out of here!" She said to her companions. "Get as many rabbits as you can. Meet me at the old wood fence by the creek at midnight." And with that, Snowflake skampered away.
 
IC: Feeling dejected after Oakley refused what was asked by Snowflake, Buckwheat too ran out of the burrow. Returning to where he was before the meeting took place, the young buck then laid down in the grass with Foxglove next to him, a new-born doe who was his cousin.

Seeing them both resting near the brow of the hill, Snowflake hopped over. "We're leaving the warren, bring all you can to the old wood fence at midnight." she said. "Foxglove will be coming too." "I will tell them what we plan to do." Buckwheat said to Snowflake. With everything sorted for now, Buckwheat started to scamper away.

Foxy had settled herself down by a nice patch of Grass and was relaxing calmly. Ever since Copper had told her of the Meeting, she had not heard from Copper or Redbee. She still hadn't gotten wind of what was going down. She relaxed and Stretched. No-one bothered her for ages. Nothing was concerning her...Until she saw Snowflake pass by. She seemed to be in quite a Panic too. Foxy tried to set off but Snowflake was already out of sight. 'Someone else will probably help her' she thought, and relaxed some more.

OOC: @ Pikapal, When you ever restart the club again, I can ask Jason22 for a banner if you like or have a go of your own.
 
OOC: so sorry ive been gone, i was working all weekend. Im so tired! xD
I love the banner you have Fiver, its beautiful! you can ask him to make one for the club if you want to. i dont have one made or anything.

IC: Snowflake hurried away to find whoever she could, to leave the warren. She found Max and Foxglove, eating clover nearby. "Max, Foxglove, i need to speak with you." She said. Max looked up at her, suddenly scared. "Were leaving the warren tonight...something bad is going to happen, and we need to get out of here." Max looked at her with scared eyes, but ne nodded. Snowflake was th wisest rabbit he knew. If she said it was time to go, it was time to go. "We leave at fu inle." Snowflake said.

Copper hopped over to Foxy. "Foxy," he said, "the meeting starts in ten minutes. But, we will be leaving the warren tonight." copper then went into detail about what happened with Snowflake. "We cant tell oakley were leaving, got it?" He added afterwards.
 
OOC: Because Spring Break has come and gone, I can now be back on Regularly again! Also, that Watership Down Glossary is blocked on this Network. If someone could PM me a link to a copy or even send me an Attachment, that'd be great!

IC: Foxy was Confused.
"Why can't Oakley know?" She asked, "I thought he watched over us all!"
Copper expalined why and Foxy took heed.
"All right, I'll go look for Redbee" she told him and hopped off quickly before Copper said a word.
If they were going to evacuate, they'd need as many rabbits as they could get. So Foxy hopped off looking for Redbee. But no matter where she looked, she just couldn't find the Buck anywhere. She had already told Copper she'd look for him so she couldn't call the Quits now. After 25 Minutes of Painstaking Searching, she finally found him relaxing in a spot well away from where anyone else could anticipate. Redbee looked up again at the approaching Doe.
"Redbee. Although you know about the Meeting that starts in 10 Minutes, there's something else I'm passing on from Copper: We're leaving the Warren at fu inle. Whatever you do, DON'T go blabbing off about it with Oakley in Earshot. Especially to anyone who may be unreliable and report it to him. Try and get as many as you can to rally us. If Oakley finds out, the whole plan is screwed. We're leaving because Snowflake had a vision and she and Copper tried to report it to Oakley who wouldn't listen. He said if Snowflake tried to get anyone else to leave the Warren, it would be classed as Treason. Well that's what Copper told me. Go now. The More we can get to leave with us, the Easier it'd be for us!" Foxy told him. With that she watched him hop away in one Direction. She Grimaced. 'Also, the more we take with us, the more likely Oakley is to notice!' she thought. With that, she hopped in another direction.

OOC: So what is Oakley's description or appearance then? Also I am changing the appearance somewhat of Luna, by taking away the shape on her leg and adding in white to her black ears which her body will be from now on rather than charcoal grey as before which would look horrible if there was a picture. Also I'm stopping with the character Sycamore, Hornbeam and the other rabbits I made for this RP except for Foxglove. ^^

IC: "Yes that is difficult to do without Oakley noticing." Buckwheat said. "If we do manage to get away, where will we go to?" Foxglove thought who had been standing next to Hornbeam, as Buckwheat ate the clover after she had been told the time to leave the warren was tonight. "But maybe we could have three or four go at a time to wherever Snowflake says, which I will be repeating to her when the meeting starts." Buckwheat added as Foxglove took in every word, finishing up on the clover.

OOC: im so sorry i havent been around, Ive been dealing with some insane things here at home. Im back now, and i will be every night!

IC: Snowflake watched the rest of the warren for the rest of the day. She was shaky, and layed down beneath a shady bush all afternoon. How could this be happening? she thought, Frith made this place for my ancestors..how could he have it destroyed? She was very upset about the whole thought. As Frith set and Inle rose, she was still laying down under the bush, lost in thought. As the night wore on, she thought about her vision. Water...blood...death...what did it all mean?

Copper met with the other Owsla for the meeting with Oakley. They had a small owsla, since their warren was small. It consisted of five officers; Copper, Redbee, Foxy, Starlight, and a buck by the name of Caper. They all stood lined up in front of Oakley, as he spoke about the Lendril. "We must be on the lookout every single day for them...Ive heard rumors that they are multiplying in numbers, and that a great number of them are in the woods just a hundred feet away from where we are right now. Tommorow, you five are going to head out in groups, find anything and everything you can about this." "Yes sir" they all said, and with that, they were dismissed.

Copper walked a few feet away from Starlight and Caper, and spoke to Foxy and RedBee.
"Are you two meeting with Snowflake tonight?" He asked. After they nodded, he said "good, I will see you tonight then," and he hopped away.

Max was sitting near Foxglove, thinking about what snowflake had said. "Are you going to go Foxglove?" he asked, concerned. "I dont really want to leave," he said before she could answer, "I like it here..but if Snowflake is going, then so am I"

Fu Inle had arrived sooner then Snowflake had anicipated. She had been paralyzed in fear under the bush all night, and now emerged with a small bit of courage. She arrived at the spot she had told them to meet, and waited there for everyone else. Max emerged a few moments later. "S-snowflake?" He said, scared, "are we really leaving?" "Hush Max, we cant have any wandering ears hear you," she said, "come closer, my little friend." Max came closer, and Snowflake did her best to calm the young rabbit down.
 
IC: It had been a few minutes since Fu Inle arrived. "The fence?" "Why leave the safety of the down at all? What if Snowflake is wrong?" Luna said to Buckwheat as he made his way to the place followed by his younger brother Hornbeam, where they were told to wait for the eventual departure of the few rabbits that were to be leaving. Once Buckwheat arrived at the spot, he noticed many rabbits at the fence - Foxglove and Max to name a few.

"Is this all that has come?" Buckwheat asked as he came to a stop near the gap in the fence which was just about big enough for a rabbit to jump through. After passing droppings right where he stood Buckwheat asked "When are we going?" to Snowflake who was now just emerging from the bush she had been under.

OOC: I have made Hornbeam to be Buckwheat's brother just to let you know, Sycamore wasn't really working as a name so it's just Luna, Foxglove, Buckwheat and Hornbeam that I will be using from now on.

Another Rabbit apporached the Fence: Foxy who wasn't intent on being told a time and get left there.
"Is everyone here?" She asked as if she was the Head of the Plan.
She looked around. The other Owsla Officers still hadn't arrived yet.
"Time is of the essence, and we're running out of it!" She said to herself. "I hope Copper and Redbee arrive before we leave"...
If someone loyal to Oakley caught them all hanging around by the fence, the Plan would surely be finished...And so would they.
It was now half an hour past fu inle. And Copper and Redbee still hadn't turned up yet.

Copper was walking past the warren, on his way to the meeting. It was fu Inle, and he knew he was a bit behind. As he walked away from near Oakley's burrow, he heard a voice. "Mutiny? No, more like treason. When did you hear they were meeting?" It was a hushed voice, nearly a whisper. Copper, having his senses highly tuned to his surroundings, heard it and stopped. "Shhh someones coming." "Whos there?" Copper demanded. "Oh, its Copper!" Starlight and Caper came out of the darkness. "Did you hear? theres going to be a mutiny tonight!" Starlight said. "Oakley said to arrest whoevers invloved, and we were just looking for you!" Copper looked at the two with pity. "Do you know what was involved in this? What happened to cause it?" He asked. "Snowflake flaked and had some vision," Caper chuckled, laughing to himself at his play on words, "and shes flyin the coop tonight. Apprently she talked nearly half the warren into going with her." "You two are damned fools. Fiver was right fifteen years ago, and his daughter is right today. No ones being arrested. If you try and stop us, you will be killed. Join us, if youre smart, or youll be killed either way." Copper glared at the two, madder then a rabid hare. He hopped as fast as he could to the fence where they were all waiting. "We gotta go, now! Oakley knows!"

Snowflake sprung into action and led the way, threw the fence and into the wodded area just outside the fenceline. "We have to stick together!" She said, making sure little Max was close by.
 
OOC: Sorry, I wanted to reply a loooooong time ago, but the Network had problems. And I was with Illness last week so I couldn't get near a Computer anywhere. Hey, until a complete Month has passed, this Thread is still alive.

IC: Foxy still wasn't comfortable about leaving behind the other Owsla Members. She wanted to buy as much time as she could...And ended up with 5 Minutes. A Minute later, Redbee appeared. But Copper hadn't shown yet. Until 5 Minutes after the Timelimit. When Foxy just wouldn't leave. Copper showed up along with Starlight and Caper. Foxy nearly laughed aloud at their eventual appearance.
"I just would not let the group move without you!" Foxy told them. "Sure took your time. However, it's nearly 1 O'Clock. We'd better move. I've brought maybe too much time."

She may, or may not have been right as well...

:t152:
 
OOC: That's fine. Also I wish I hadn't messed around on the account of my rabbit character's name, going from one to another etc. If the plot wasn't fifteen years since Hazel brought Fiver, Bigwig and the others to Watership Down, I would have definitely chosen to roleplay as Bigwig, acting out his part which would have been alot more fun with an established character, and that you know where he or she is coming from rather than an original character. :D And I think you Marksman, would have easily been able to roleplay as Hazel in my opinion I think.

IC: Running to the fence where Snowflake told everyone who were willing to leave the warren there, Buckwheat noticed Copper, Snowflake and a number of bucks and does - all of which were spread randomly in and around the area surrounding the white fence. "Is it time to go yet?" Buckwheat said, his question reaching the ears of a buck in his fourth year since his birth who was the second kitten of Hazel's daughter, who had a similar appearance to that of his grand-father.
