[OOC] Rules: This is a Quick Posts for Busy Folks RP! That means all posts are limited to five sentences, not counting any repeated dialogue from someones else's post. Note that this guideline is meant to help keep posts quick and plentiful, so if you are spending more time fretting over editing your entry down to the five lines than you spent writing it, don't fret putting a sixth. To ease entry/exit of fellow writers, try to always imagine your character as part of a larger group of dibbuns, not just those who are currently writing. Want to keep these as open as possible!Prompt: Somehow it happened, nobeast can really explain why or even less how, but you ended up on the roof with your friends. There have been many stories about heroes getting on and off the Abbey roof, pick one and quick![BIC]
**The Abbey pond looked like a wax seal on the back of an envelope from here, and Celebes didn't dare look at it a moment longer than he needed to. The idea of a diving contest had gone way to far. The sea otter hated heights.**
T-there's to much air a'fore the water, matesys!
**Every claw stuck out as the trembling otter latched himself firmly to the windblown shingles.**

**There was too much water beneath the air, if you asked Fyri. She hadn't taken a single dive yet, having skirted the action until now, yet here she was up on the roof with the pond looming below, wondering how one challenge to dive had lead them here. The pine marten peered over the edge, unhooking a pebble that was caught between the shingles. It fell down, down, down... and finally splashed into the water.**
I cannae see th' splash...

**Madeline had no idea whatsoever as to why she joined her fellow Dibbuns up here on the roof. The terrified kitten was as far from the edge as she could get, clinging to the roof with all her tiny, sharp, white claws.** "We all gonna falls to our deaths!!!!" **Her mind raced as she tried to figure out how to get down. She could only remember Matthias' decent, and tumbling this far with a sparrow pecking her shoulder was not what she wanted to do, thanks.**

**Celebes had no desire to fact check Fyri's claim, either by watching the rock fall or falling himself, and Madeline's own panicking made his fears all the worse.**
W-where zit flatta? I don'ts wanna slides off while we think!
**The otter looked left and right across the broad sloping roof, seeing no part that was flat. All it would take was a good storm to pick up, and they'd slide down the incline faster than dressing slid down a salad. He grabbed Fyri's tail as the latest contender in a frenzied quest for finding potential pawholds.**

Gah!
**Fyri yelped in surprise as the otterkit snatched her tail as if swooping up a fish from the pond they were now so desperately trying not to be meeting anytime soon. Losing the full usage of the appendage essential for keeping balance, the young jill felt nervous for the first time on the roof as she started wobbling.**
We isnae gonnae die ifs we donnae think then...!
**She joked, her voice a bit shaky as she flailed her paws to compensate for her tail's obstruction.**

"Leggo 'er tail!" **Madeline could not understand the reasoning for grabbing hold of others to help you not fall. Wouldn't that just make both of you fall faster and harder? Continuing to cling to the shingles with all her claws extended, the kitten tried to tug on Celebes' tail to get his attention.** "Are yous tryna make yous both fall t' you deaths?!"

**Celebes screamed at the unexpected touch, pulling Fyri's tail as he recoiled and seemingly oblivious to the struggle he was putting her through. Luckily for all involved, the otter ended up falling backwards onto his bottom, managing to stay reasonably still like that. Still, he kept a hold of the the tail as fanatically as squirrel held to a swaying branch.**
N-no! I jus' wanna get DOWNS! Wha-what about the drain p-pipers!
**It worked well enough for water getting off the roof, even if it were a bit fast.**

**Another startled, and this time pained, squeak left the young pine marten as her tail was pulled even more violently. Unable to keep her balance, she too fell backwards, landing on her side as she'd twisted a little in her fall. Her tail still captive, she failed to fully turn and catch her own descent, landing rather roughly with an 'oof!'**
We cannae fits in there..! ...right?
**She lifted her head to look at the other stranded climbers upon the roof for back-up. She really didn't fancy a wild water slide down...**

"NO, I DON'TS WANNA CLIMBS DOWNS!! I JUS' WANNA GWOWN UP!!" **Madeline was panicking to the point of actually wanting an adult to come save them. That was probably a sign that somebody should probably try to help her calm down. Because she was starting to cry -- while keeping hold of Celebs' tail, of course!**

**Celebes had been in a state of chattering fright for several minutes, so much so that he was finally forced to actually stop to refill his lungs. Madeline's shouts rang in his ears as she tugged his tail, even as he tried to process Fyri's quite obvious statement that there was no way they'd fit down the drainpipe. At least, that's what he thought she said; Fyri had a funny way of speaking.
Celebes swallowed the tempting resumption of hysterics for the moment, and took courage from the seemingly slightly more level headed pine martin who's tail he still clutched, though not quite has hard.**
M-maddy matesy, no ones gunna get us down cepts us! L-like Tag, wes gotta be out own heroes!
**...though Celebes was pretty sure the Taggerung had never been stuck on a roof higher than the surrounding treetops.**

**Madeline's terrified screams further amplified the panicky atmosphere and Fyri could feel herself beginning to grow uneasy too. The kitten looked about ready to cry; she hated it when beasts cried or were upset, but she wasn't the most adept at comforting them so it was usually an awkward business of joking and hoping to elicit a laugh instead of a cry. Celebes speaking up first was a relief, therefore, and she eagerly followed up on his words.**
A-aye! Tis like aw th' grain tales! Ifs we stick together, we cans dae it!
**She grinned, ever so slightly moving her tail, which tingled as blood was able to stream through it again now that the otterkit's grip was no longer so tight it bordered on strangulation.**

**What Madeline wants most of all is a quick fix -- no hassles, no hard work, no required courage, and preferably no mess. Just a responsible adult to come and save them right now. Her wails dwindle as her fellow Dibbuns try to reassure her, but tears still escape her eyes and trickle down her cheeks.** "You won'ts leaves me up heres all 'lones??" **The kitten sniffles, trying to hug the otter's tail close for comfort.**

**Somehow, seeing somebeast in a worse state that oneself put things in perspective, and Celebes felt his own fears slowly replaced by a vein of empathy with Madeline. Sure, things were rotten for him, but he didn't want to see this poor kitten get any more out of sorts than she already was.**
No, wes all gets down, matesys! With each others!
**By now noting the chain of tails that led from Madeline to Fyri through him, he felt in a surge of unity that they should all hold on to each other. With gentle determination, he took Madeline's flexible tail and pawed it over to Fyri as he explained.**
Nows we all 'aves each others backs!

**A round, fuzzy face with absolutely enormous yellow eyes poked up onto the roof. Otus the little owlet hopped upon the shingles and waddled his way down the peak of the roof towards his fellow dibbuns.**
'ey, whatcha doin' way up 'ere? Dis not a spot fer anybeast 'cept birbs like me!
**Otus hopped up onto the abbey weathervane, which swung around under his weight. He giggled as it twirled, but his little grey talons hung on to the metal expertly.**

**Madeline really hated having her tail touched. When Celebes reached for it, she released him and wriggled away.** "Nono touchie my tail!! Stahppit!!" **Not realizing her hypocrisy, the kitten jumped slightly when the Otus made his presence known. Upon seeing him perched upon the weahtervane, the young wildcat set up fresh wails and screams.** "I NO WANNA BE UP HERES!!!"
