Piper snuck out from behind a large prickly bush near the orphanage. The small she-cat had sat there for what seemed like an eternity waiting for the town cat that passed this way everyday. Slipping out next to the approaching figure she padded along beside him. Reaching into her depleted coin purse the tan tabby-patterned orphan pulled out a coin and put it down on the creaky trundle-cart the old tom was pushing. Handing Piper a cinnamon bun and giving her a smile the tom pushed his cart off silent, save for the creaking of the wheels. Piper slowed to a stop and yawned before taking a bite of her freshly baked snack.

Wandering off in the direction of the marketplace Piper licked her lips to remove any leftover icing from the delicious bun and brushed her paws off against her sides. Reaching into her coin purse the little female pulled out and unfolded a scrap of parchment which contained her to-do list for the day.

To Doo List:

• get bunn
  
• go to markett plaice
  
• make lots of $
  

Strolling absentmindedly into the marketplace Piper found a nice shady spot and pulled out her pan-pipes, striking up a gentle swaying tune she danced delicately her small coin purse laying open for coins on the ground.

Pausing her music the little she-cat chimed out in her voice-like-honey
"Tra-la-la-la-la-la
Oh hey little sun,
tra-la-la-la-la-la
light, warmth and fun"

[atrb=background,http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/4456/middley.png] The early morning sun shone brightly through the roofs of the various stalls dotted around the Marketplace as Bragi sauntered down the road, circlet upon head and lute in paw. He strummed a happy little tune as he walked, enjoying the warm weather that was beginning to become a rare thing as Autumn made its presence known. His coin purse bounced and jingled at his side, a rather fruitful night of entertainment several hours earlier lending to the weight of the little cloth sac. Humming contentedly, Bragi browsed the stalls, a lovely little flute catching his eye. He put it in the back of his mind to consider. Though he'd been lucky with money as of late, one could never be too careful. Approaching the market square, Bragi's ears pricked up as a melody floated in on the light breeze. It was simple, yet sweet, and he followed the sound to its source. A young she-cat, no older than a year, was dancing about the square, singing and playing her panpipes, a small purse laid out in front of her to collect any generous donations from passerbys. Bragi let his lute rest against his side as he reached into his coin purse, retrieving a few schillings which he then tossed into the little she-cat's collection. And then, without any hesitation, Bragi gripped his lute in paw, and tapped his foot along with the rhythm of the little cat's song. "I hope you do not mind, young one!" He called, body beginning to sway with the music. When he was confident he'd figured out the little song, he began to strum along, harmonizing with the younger cat's pipes. He did not know the words to the song but he played nonetheless, paws beginning to dance about as he was swept up in the music.

ooc/ Hope you don't mind him joining in ^^

[Piper/Roozul]

<sub>Slowly letting the music seep through her movements and cloud her awareness of the streets around her, Piper danced. Making sure to keep the notes of her song gentle and even she sway and turned gracefully her fluffy tan striped tail twirling around with her. Feeling the warm rays of the sun light begin to warm her back and heat the ground her delicate paws glided over. Repeating the tune again she wondered if anyone would really enjoy the little ditty. She had been developing the tune for a day or two but the words she had sung had been merely spur of the moment creations.

Doing a neat little pirouette the she-cat spotted a tall tom cat with a nice little flute in his paw. Momentarily Piper feared he had come to force her out of her spot as had happen occasionally with performers who wanted the prime spot. Seeing the tom then reach into his pouch and toss a few schillings in her purse made the little she-cat ecstatic. Shooting the tom her best winning smile past the pan-flute she was playing. The young orphan she-cat took a breather for a second as the new-comer picked up the tune of her song. Using this free time to sing out a new verse:

"Thank you kind sir,
A coin or two for a young one.
A future to make,
a career, a hobby, a passion that's fun!
You help me,
One day the time will come,
A gift now and a memory of who from."

The she-cat hoped her sweet little chorus would convey her gratitude to the tom for his donation. Pausing from her singing the orphan feline began playing her pipes again, slowing her dance to a small swaying motion.

((Sorry post is so short I'm in a hurry ^u^ Next one'll be better))</sub>

Felicity held button-eyes onto her shoulders as she skipped into the market place in the wayningly warm sun. She was glad she had brought her new hat, it wasn't only warm but it made her feel so much more... Exotic! It was exactly the type of a hat that a pirate or a gypsy OR even a dancer would wear. She wasnt really concentrating on where she was wondering as she was to busy avoiding the crocodiles in the imaginary river that was actually the road.

This game went on for a good few minutes as she skipped, hopped and jumped over the evil reptiles to stay alive! She was just getting bored of the game and considering returning to her home camp on the outskirts of the city when she heard music. Fantastic, wonderrful music! She was next to the two musicians in a momnet. Button-eyes dangling in her paws.

The the little catbstarted to sing and felicitysnjaw dropped. In her little mind she was amazed at the fantasticness of it all. When the cat finished singing felicity cheered and clapped wildly.

"MORE! More!" She called "sing again!"

(I wanted to write more but i have to go now!!!)

[Piper/Roozul]

<sub>Finishing her tune and doing one last pirouetting motion the tabby-patterned orphan gave a small bow her thin chest moving slightly as she took deep breaths to relax after a taxing performance.

Just as she took her second deep breath a kitten on the market place road began clapping hysterically and cheering for an encore. Piper smiled broadly, her Momma had always said "Applause is a sign of a good performance". Piper motioned the kitten closer. "I'm just about to take a break and have a snack...would you like to come and sit with me? You can have some and I'm going to play again afterwards..."

Piper's tail moved anxiously around her back legs. It would be really nice to make some friends out side the orphanage...well actually, any friends at all. Piper didn't really enjoy the orphanage and never really spoke to anyone there.

Suddenly remembering the kind stranger Piper turned and gave him a bright smile as well "You're welcome to join too sir!" she mewed happily, this was turning out to be a good morning.</sub>

Same! Welcome to the rp dpandyrp, I'll add you to the list in the morning ^u^

[atrb=background,http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/4456/middley.png] Bragi smiled at the she-cat's lyrics, sending a nod her way so she would know he'd understood the meaning of her words. A small crowd has stopped to listen to the song, another young cat at its head, clearly enjoying herself. When the song came to an end and Bragi stilled his dancing feet, she clapped and shouted out for an encore with gusto. The young cat whose song he'd joined in on approached the other youngster, and then turned towards him. "You're welcome to join too sir!" Bragi grinned, and swung his lute onto his back, walking towards the two kittens. "That my company would be appreciated warms the heart, young ones." He meowed, stopping in front of the two of them. "I would voice gratitude with coin. If you two do not object, I'd very much like to share midday meal with you, at my expense. And perhaps," He added "After hunger is sated, we might entertain yet another crowd with music and song."

ooc/ Sorry for the slow reply, I was in Ottawa for the week. And Bragi is actually a storyteller (The official title is Bard) ^^ The instrument he's using isn't a flute, it's a lute, which is a type of guitar/banjo.

Looks lime posting order is (so far)

Piper
Zaabu
Pandy
Owl

So Pandy, you post, then Piper, and then we'll go with that order?

[Owl-flight]

((mind if I jump in?))

Alys walked down the road with a happy skip to her step. Their wasn't any particular reason for her joy, just a good day she supposed. The passed by a small group of cats, 2 of whom seemed to have just finished a performance. She wondered how well they knew each other. As she got closer she heard the older tom speak, judging by his words they had just met, and he was going to pay for their meal.

Speaking of food made Alys realize just how hungry she was, so she lingered close by to see where they would go to eat, perhaps she would see if she could join the group. It could be fun, if they preformed again after it would be a good chance to dance again. She hadn't had any good music to dance to in a long time.

((my first post always sucks D: I promise I'll get better as the RP goes on))

[dpandyrp]

Felicity shifted to the floor, scooching into a comfortable seating position with button eyes resting in her lap. She looked up at the two musicians adoringly. In her eyes they were amazing. And the larger one mentioning food only made her amazement increase. She jumped back up to her legs and almost bounced up and down.
"ohhhhh! Food! I get apples at home! Will we have apples and..." she started to jiggle from foot to foot In Excitement "...ohh! I can do a song! I know one song! Oh er... Please?" she remembered her manners, just.

"button-eyes knows the words too!" she held up her toy to show him to the others. She didn't notice the new cat... She was to busy for that!

[Piper/Roozul]

<sub>Piper couldn't believe her over-sized ears 'Food! For free?!'. Skipping around happily for a second Piper beamed at Bragi "Really? You'd do that? Thanks so much!" she chattered happily "My name's Piper, what's yours?" she asked spinning between Felicity and Bragi. Suddenly she wrapped her tiny paws around the big tom in a friendly enthusiastic manner that only kits and very young cats seem to posses "Thank you!"

Turning to Felicity her eyes widened "Wow! Nice Stuffie!" Reaching into her makeshift belt and pulling out her patch blue stuffie-cat she showed it to the other young cat "This is Vector! Isn't he cute?"

Grabbing Bragi's paw in her free one the little cat skipped forward "Common, me and Vector know the best spot ever for lunch!" Turning back to lead the other two cats off to her favorite food stand Piper ran smack into a another cat, a slender female with a pelt of odd orange-y colors and dark splotches. Dropping Vector with a squeak the little orphan began apologizing hastily. "Oh gosh! I'm so sorry! When I'm not dancing I'm a bit of a clutz!"</sub>

[atrb=background,http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/4456/middley.png] Bragi let out a chuckle as Piper and the other kitten skipped about, their excitement at a free meal clear. As they chattered about their stuffed toys, Bragi thought back to his own kithood. Time had gone by so quickly, and he really hadn’t been able to enjoy being a kitten for long. Perhaps that was why he was feeling so generous towards these little cats. “It’s very nice to meet you both. My name is Bragi,” He said, smiling. “Think nothing of it young ones.” He added when they both voiced their gratitude. “I’m happy to oblige.” When Piper grabbed his paw, Bragi let out another laugh. “Do you now? Well, let’s have Vector lead the way then. Button-Eyes can help too, I think!” He played along with their game; it was very sweet, and he found he could not resist; they were very charming kittens. He wondered if he would have turned out differently had he had a kithood such as theirs. That thought was on his mind when Piper, not looking where she was going because of her excitement, smacked into an older she-cat walking by. While she hastily apologized to the older cat, Bragi stooped low and picked up Vector. “Here you are Piper,” He meowed fondly, passing the toy back to the little she-cat. “Mind you watch where you’re going next time.” He straightened up, and held out his paw towards the calico she-cat. “Pleased to meet you,” He remarked, gesturing towards himself and the kits. “I’m called Bragi. I think you’ve already met one of my younger companions.” He beamed at her, eyes glinting. “Apologies if this seems forward, but would you like to accompany us to lunch?” Bragi asked her, tail flicking. “My treat,” He added.

[Owl-flight]

Alys had noticed the little cat come in her direction but hadn't managed to step aside fast enough. Luckily the other cat was smaller than her so she managed to retain her balance. As Bragi picked up the doll for the small cat she noticed how much the tom treated the cats as though they were his own kits. She wondered if he had kit's of his own, ether way he seemed like a nice guy.
Alys looked at the tom who had spoken to her and shook his hand, "Thank you very much but I don't want to intrude," She wanted to join them, but she wanted to be sure he really didn't mind.

(ugg Idk why this is so short)

[dpandyrp]

(SOOOOOO sorry for the slow reply!!!)

Felicity was amazed at victor "WOW! hes AMAZING! isnt he button-eyes?" she held up button eyes infront of her and shook it up and down so that its head woobled wildly. "see! he said yes!"

Then she noticed the newcommer and waved at her. "helllloo! you gotta follow victor now! hes taking us to food! COME ON!" she grabbed one of victors legs and held onto it. "dont get lost anyone!"

Felicity was most definatly excited to be here, because of her traveling with her father she very rarly had perminant freinds so this was a perfect opportunity to try make some. after all, she had no idea how long she would be here for!

(soory for short reply!)

[Piper/Roozul]

<sub>Babbling out a remarkably extensive apology Piper dusted of herself and gave the newcomer a brilliant smile only possible for the young and positive. "I'm so sorry Miss!" Piper clutched Vector to herself as she often did after dropping the toy. It would break the kits heart to lose him and she refused to allow harm to come to the blue feline plush.

Hearing her musical friend Bragi's proposal for the stranger to join them to lunch the little orphan nodding enthusiastically. "Oh please do Miss! We'd love the company! This is Bragi, Felicity and Button-Eyes, Felicity's plushie. They're my new friends! And I'm Piper and this little stuffie is Vector!"

Smiling happily and skipping once around the small group "Vector and I were just about to show Felicty, Bragi and Button-Eyes this wonderful place we go sometimes that sells all these yummy buns and different kinds of meats! Yummy! You should come! So what's you're name Miss?" the bubbly youth chattered.</sub>

-Sorry my response is so late! I sent one but it must have been the day my internet was faulty...sorry guys!-

[atrb=background,http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/4456/middley.png] Bragi waved a paw dismissively. "Please, it's my pleasure. You would not be intruding at all." Piper spoke up as well, expressing her enthusiasm at the possibility of the older she-cat joining their lunch party. Bragi smiled gently at her before looking back at Alys. "Your company would be most welcome, I think." Piper and Felicity bounced around in excitement, waving their plushies around and babbling excitedly. "You see?" Remarked Bragi, gesturing towards the two kittens. "You wouldn't want to let them down, would you?" A playful tone had crept into his voice; he hoped Alys recognized the joke, and did not feel pressured to join. Piper piped up again, gesturing towards what was probably the direction of the food stall she kept talking about while Felicity jumped up and down beside her. Bragi went to follow the two kittens, looking back at Alys expectedly.

ooc/ Sorry this is short, I didn't have much to reply to.
Hahahaha, Piper piped xD

[Owl-flight]

"Well in that case of course I'll come," she quickly fallowed the kittens who already seemed to be heading off to some unknown food stand. She found it cute that both of the she-cats had dolls, she wondered if she would ever have been so attached to a doll when she was younger. Probably not, she was never very fond of things she considered girly, dolls being one of them. By now she only found them to be cute.

Eventually Alys started to smell bread and cooking meet. Her mouth started to water and she licked her lips. This place smells like it has really good food" she grinned.

((Ugg, sorry the forum is slow on my comp and I haven't been able to open it for a few days))
