Mayor Celdonea's office

Celdonea enters the dusty office. She pushes aside some of the old stained papers and starts organizing the relevant ones. There is a strong musty smell of misuse in the air. Aye, she must remember to bring some lavender in from her herb garden and make some wands to put inside the desk and hang some from the old wooden beams. She picks up the straw broom that is resting in the corner and begins sweeping cobwebs and dust. When she is finished she looks around the room and is pleased. She has thought of other ideas to put her personal touch into her office. She will look for some wildflowers along the way home.

Chris knocks on the dusty door.
"I brought you some flowers my lady." He says as she opens the door. "I picked them from road just outside of the church."
He holds up some red roses.

Celdonea hears the knock at the door. "Who could that be" she wondered. She opened the door to Chris, standing there looking rather sweet with an armful of flowers.

"Awwwwwwwww, thank you, Chris,those are beautiful! It's just what I needed to freshen this place up! I will put them right on my desk, so that I may enjoy their scent while I work. It's looking better in here all the time."

Chris joyfully smiled and gave Celdonea her flowers. "If you need help just as me Celd"

Cel took a deep breath, inhaling the perfume of the roses.

Now, I need to talk to Kimble about some security issues/plans, she thought to herself.

"Chris, you would like to help, yes?" "Maybe you could find the LT. Kimble and tell him I am looking for him. I will be back in my office 12 hours from now. Thank you, you really are a dear!"

Cel rushes off to see about some market business.

A letter arrives and is placed on the mayor's desk.

Quote :

Greetings Mayor Celdonea,

Allow me to welcome you and wish you all the best in your term. If you need anything, please dont hesitate to speak to Lt Kimble or myself.

Kindest Regards,
Alexion De Stryke,
Captain of Somerset (SAS)

Celdonea smiles as she reads a letter from Captain De Stryke. She has had limited interactions with him, but has always found him kind and courteous. She must bake him a peach pie sometime, for he looks a little too skinny. Besides, she thinks he will enjoy it immensely.

She has pressing business on tap today though, and the thought of pie quickly disappears from her mind. She grabs the quill and pens a letter to De Stryke,

Quote :

Attention Captain De STryke, I have an issue in BW that needs your immediate attention. It has been brought to my attention by the Town Mentor that my Chief Marshall appears to be DEAD. I would like to assign a new marshall, and I recommend Palamor200 for the job. I think he would be most vigilant in this job. Thank you kindly, Lord, Celdonea, Mayor of Bridgewater.

Alexion de Stryke reads the msg, and instantly rights to the constable to re-assign a new marshal to BW.

And thank you , Captain Stryke, for your quick response. And a thank you to Araxie and Cpl. Zmramos, who first alerted me to this issue, and then covered the defense of the town for two days.

And a another thank you to christhekiller, for his constant vigilance outside my office.

Anyday my lady

Mr Nibbles scampers into the Mayor's office. He was a rat of exceptional intelligence and had been with Lt Kimble since his Corporal days in Gloucester. He liked Bridgewater better though as there was more food about. Checking that his miniature Bridgewater sash was in place he jumped up onto the desk and sat offering up the message he carried form his Lieutenant.

Kimble wrote:

I have some urgent security measures that I to would like to discuss with you. I suggest a secret meeting on msn to formulate our plans.
Please tip Mr Nibbles.

Looks at the rat with interest,
Man I wish I had a rat like that, I would call him, Mr. Biggelsworth

Celdonea enters her office and shrieks! "Ahhhhhh, a mouse!!! EEEEeekkkk!"

She quickly jumps on a chair and takes a light, but quick swat at the creature running around on her desk with her broom. Missed! She rolls up a parchment, a grant sitting on the desk with no name on it, and tries to swat again. Missed! The little rat runs this way and that and finally settles on her brown hat that she has left here. He scurries under the brim and as he sneaks under it she notices the tiny little SAS sash hanging off of it.

"Oh my Jah, how adorable is that?" She realizes then, that this is no ordinary mouse. She starts making cooing and reassuring noises at the lil mouse until he scampers back out and retrieves a previously unnoticed letter. She reads the letter and pulls out her lunch from her satchel. She finds what she is looking for, a nice hunk of fresh cheese and rips off a little piece. She feeds it to the mouse and then takes a piece herself. All the excitement has made her a bit hungry too!

The mouse takes the cheese, stands up on his little back feet and raises his front paw to his forehead in a miniature salute!

He then runs off the desk and slips out the door , startling Chris on his way in to see what the commotion was all about.

Chris watches the rat run out. Still wishing he had his own rat to deliver messages. And Chris pops his head in Celdys office.
Can I have a rat like that ma'am?

Celdonea smiles at Chris's question. After a moment of consideration, she says sweetly, "Of course, Chris, we can get one too. Hopefully he will be as bright as that little fella'. We will start searching the streets immediately. How about a little dog? I saw a cur running down the streets the other day, I'm not sure if he was spoken for or not. To find a rat of such high intelligence may be very challenging. Let me know if you see anything and we will test his skills"

Chris comes back into Mayor Celdys office quickly followed by a cheery faces, gray furred dog.
Mayor Celdy!
I found this cute little puppy on the streets, some young kids were pickin' on him so I scared them off and this guy seems to like me, may I keep him ma'am?

Celdonea is surprised that Chris has found this new dog so quickly! She laughs and scootches down and the little gray dog quickly runs at her and starts licking her face. She laughs as she falls over with the little puppy on top of her.

"Awwww, you're just a mite now, aren't you?" She exclaims at the mangy puppy. "Come on now, let's go get you cleaned up a bit." She goes behind her desk and pulls a piece of ham from her lunch satchel and doesn't even get to offer it to the dog, he just leaps up and grabs it from her hand quickly gobbling it up. Then he sits down and looks up at her with those beautiful eyes, his tail wagging furiously, hoping for more!

"Between you and Kimbles rat, you will keep me thin, that's for sure" And she hands him another piece of her ham.

"Chris, why don't you take him down to the horse trough in front of the Crossroads, and get him cleaned up. I will meet you down at the tavern after I finish up some of this market analysis I've been working on. And by the way, what will you name him?"

Yes Ma'am! Chris happily explains has the puppy jumps up into his arms and licks his face, the smell of ham fresh on his breath


Half an hour later Chris is still scrubbing down his new puppy trying to think of new names for him. Of course, that'll have to wait untill you stops smellin' of the Bridgewater sewers." Chris says to the puppy

Chris walks back in with a brilliant looking dog at his heals. The dog whome Chris found on the streets fur is a Brilliant Golden color.

Ive decided to name him hunter! ^^

Celdonea comes into her office. It has been an interesting month so far. Some good, some bad. She thinks about all her friends as she goes about reorganizing her papers. Something is not right. She realizes she must speak to zmramos. Also to Kimble.

She calls out to Chris and only Hunter runs in.................

Ahhhhh,there you are.
