Making Bank on Frieda's Delivery, Are you up to winning 500 CSC? This is in OOC Planning to gauge if there is enough interest in doing a role-play on this topic.

Hello. I'm Sparky Wheezle, Prime Minister of the Woodland Council of the Glen Meadow Watershed and Lady Frieda's older cousin.

Frieda has gone into hiding and hasn't been heard from from by her friends her relatives since New Year's Day. Such is the habit with all young females of her kind when expecting delivery.

Now, while this is ordinarily cause for alarm, those of us who know Lady Frieda and Weldon know that she will be be OK and that she is going to deliver soon. What this affords us is an opportunity to place a little wager.

Contest: When Will Lady Frieda Deliver?

Here is the what you do....

Name the Date, Hour and Minute of her delivery.

Bonus: Name the number of offspring she actually delivers, including the number of little females and little males.

Tie Breaker: Name the birth order of the sexes.

Send your guesses to Lady Frieda's sMail account.

The Prize

There is one prize this time around, a shiny bright 500 CSC gift certificate to the lucky creature (humans included) who comes closest to the actual birthdate, hour and minute. There is are bonus prize of New Years Tokens, and Wizard Tokens for guessing the correct number of offspring and other things. The tie breaker will be guessing the correct birth order.

Omen Islands Aboard the Krakatoa January 14, 2019 2200 Subeta Standard Time (Eastern Standard Time on Terra)

Lady Frieda Brigitta Seraphina Yvonne Wheezle Von Steuben and her consort, Lieutenant Colonel Weldon George of the Subetan Air Command, are pleased to announce the birth of Lady Frieda’s third litter. The official time of the completion of her delivery is 1750 SST (5:50PM Eastern Standard Time).

All offspring are healthy and doing well. There are seven offspring delivered in the following birth order:

1. Liesel Violette Wheezle Von Steuben, female
2. Mischa Lillyanna Wheezle Von Steuben, female
3. Donner Copernicus Wheezle Von Steuben, male
4. Nicholas Amadeus Wheezle Von Steuben, male
5. Milli Judith Wheezle Von Steuben, female
6. Ernst Dieter Wheezle Von Steuben, male
7. Ursula Lauren Wheezle Von Steuben, female

Color markings are easily identified by skin tone and all females appear to have color markings very similar to their mother’s, pure white with an arrow-shaped marking on the tail. All males have similar color markings to Lore Master Friedrich Von Steuben, Lady Frieda’s twin brother, pure black with a white arrow on the tail.

Mother and offspring are resting comfortably in the Captain’s stateroom. Weldon, the father, is passed out in a hammock in the corner, an empty bottle of rum being used as a pillow.

This brings us to the results of our contest:

1. Number of Offspring: was the only person to guess 7 and wins 20 New Years Tokens and 100 Wizard Tokens
2. Birth Order: nailed the exact order of the 7 offspring. Her guess was FFMMFMF(MFF) and she wins 30 New Years Tokens and 250 Wizard Tokens.
3. Time of Birth: guessed that the delivery would be complete at 5:34 PM and was off by only 16 minutes. She wins 50 New Years Tokens and 500 Wizard
4. Date of Birth: came the closest, her guess was 1/15/2019. Didi wins the 500CSC. Congratulations Didi!

There are participation prizes and I will make sure that everybody who made a guess gets something nice. We will not be role-playing this adventure as planned.

Sparky Wheezle

Yay! Congrats Lady Frieda!

Reading the announcement of the third litter she smiled and nodded mumbling "Well our guess was wrong but I'm very happy for the couple!"

Lady Frieda sat comfortably in the large King-sized bed in the Captains Quarters of her hospital ship The Krakatoa and nodded as her guests came and went. Her delivery started at 1645 and by 1750 (5:50PM) all of Omen was aware that the Little One had delivered her litter of seven new pups and visitors arrived shortly after that to pay their respects and bring presents.

Matlal, the shaman of The Villagers was the first to bow and take his leave, “Lady Weasel heal many Islander, have many adventures. Islanders bless you, love you, honor you. No shoot you, eat you, or feed you to Merena again. Maybe weasel offspring bring luck for Islanders? Need many luck these days, tourism down, bad juju.” Matlal shook his staff, uttered an incantation and bowed again. “Not mumbo-jumbo, just prayer at Maker for good sale on diapers for Lady Weasel at ABC Mart. Many many diapers.” With that, Matlal backed out of the cabin and left The Krakatoa

Captain Jacques Fishbreath swept off his feathered hat and bowed low, “Lady Frieda, me an’ the rest of the crew of The Freyalise be giving ye our blessin’ an’ we be bringin’ ye a gift.” Captain Jacques turned to two of his crew waiting by the door and signaled impatiently for them to step forward. Dirty Mattie and Annabelle came forward lugging a chest between them and flopped it down on the cabin floor with a thud. They backed away, bowing before they scrambled out the cabin door. Captain Jacques replaced his hat and raised the lid of the chest. A gasp of astonishment escaped everybody’s lips at the sight of what was inside the chest. “I don’t make claims t’be knowin’ ‘bout wee ones an’ all tha malarkey, but I do be knowin’ ‘bout good rum. An’ I be bringin’ ta lit’l nippers a bot’l each! I fitted each bot’l wit’ a lit’l rubber titty m’self, just like when I was a wee scupper.”

Frieda wanted to laugh, but to do so would insult the Captain. So she controlled her mirth and nodded. Captain Jacques smiled and pointed back to the chest, “Ye’ll also be findin’ a shiny gold doubloon, a pretty bone dagger, and a brace o pint-sized pistols apiece fer yer brood.”

He swept his hat back off his head, it was very obvious that he had run out of nice things to say about babies, a topic of conversation that confused and frightened him terribly. He stammered, bowed, replaced his hat and fidgeted with the buckle of his sword. “So then, M’lady. It be me hopes that everything be to yer likin.’ Ye, yer mate, the good Colonel, and yer brood. I gotta’ be taking me leave of ye now.” He bowed again and as an afterthought he added, “And the Maker be blessin’ ye, M’lady, ye an’ ta lit’l ones.” Captain Jacques bowed as he backed out of the cabin, donned his hat and left the ship.

There were other visitors waiting on the poop, Babette was less formal than Matlal and Captain Jacques, and showered Frieda and Weldon with hugs. Her mate Angrybeard punched Weldon’s arm, then got him a headlock as he gave Weldon the worst noogie in the world. “Ye weasel-folk sure be havin’ all ta fun. Me an ta missis only be having’ ta pair o cubs and yer having’ fourteen now.” He stammered and shuffled his paws on the floor, “Mebe a-stayn’ in port awhile gets a pa more wee bairns, eh?” He stopped talking when Babette shot him a dirty look.

Eventually, all the guests left and by 2200, all was quiet, the babies had been fed, changed and were asleep with their mother. Weldon curled up in a hammock he had brought in to the cabin so that he could stay close by. In the morning, he had notices to deliver and he had to pay a visit to the Territorial Governor of Omen Islands to register the births with the Subetan government. In the afternoon, he and Frieda would move the family off The Krakatoa and into the main house and all paws were required to be on deck. For the time being, he would polish off his celebratory bottle of rum and use the empty bottle for a pillow.

Congrats to the parents. :D Are you sharing some pictures?

Congrats, Frieda! You're going to have your paws full for sure!

Congratulations! And, thank you for sharing the event with us! I look forward to hearing how they do once they’re on land. Exciting times!

Congratulations! So exciting and I love all the names! ❤ Glad everyone is healthy and all went well.

Congratulations! A great litter, seven new ones is going to be quite a challenge!

: You are always so observant, you caught my mistake. I mistyped six instead of seven, so I went back and edited it.
