What to do?

I`m not much of a topic starter, but while talking with other fans, on camping and such, a thought,
you are camping , you hiked a long trail, night is coming and you must sleep, as you do so, you awake the next day, tied down by the rats of NIMH. what will you as a human do?.

Good question Whiskers57. Even I would not know what to do but amazingly, I have a suggestion. If that did happen, I would not try to scare them. I would just greet them to see what they were doing.
(If we where at Thorn Valley, they probably would all be alerted. :roll: ).
Like one time I went to Pine Crest, before I had seen SoN. I sort of thought of the same thing happening. What a coinincidence! :P

Honestly? Start laughing and hope they don't take offense.

You know, i've done so much hiking and camping in the wilderness that your scenario has actually crossed my mind a few times :) Well, not the tied-up part, but just stumbling across Thorn Valley or something.

Depending on how much we could communicate, i'd see if there was anything i could do to assist them, if there was anything they needed or wanted to know. And of course i'd have like a million and one questions for them, but after the first few dozen they probably would tie me up! XD

Questions from me would abound also, and Burtis does not like it when you laugh, you are dead :shock: .

Since we as fans Know the complete story so far, I try to take or 'cast' my self as one not knowing anything about the "Rats of NIMH" or NIMH`s workings, Thus I would be totaly surprized at seeing rats wearing Midevil clothing and such technologic break thru`s for their furry kind, I would hope that they like me and would have mercy, and if Justin in charge of the rats that would be a plus (he`s level headed) :) , Hey!, I would not turn them back in to NIMH, YO, Hey guys Its me, I`d never do that :wink:

You would not want to run into Jenner and gang (from the book), that would be bad, unless your Megan, then that`s good.

Let's see, what to do if I came across the 'rats of Nimh' and/or tied up by them.

1. Check my bearings, understand my surroundings, and the current situation I'm in. I wouldn't be able to move my arms and legs, so I assume I am tied by my wrists and feet. I look around and see tiny rats moving about, chatting, carrying objects here and there, and wearing midevil clothing.

2. ...Question my sanity and whether or not I am dreaming.

3. Make no sudden movements or facial expressions that would easily take offense to them.

4. Ask one of them in a kind, neutral tone on what is going on and why I am tied up.

5. If they perhaps offer a friendly(or perhaps neutral) way of communication, then I would most likely calm down and reason with them the best I can that I don't mean them any harm and ask if I can be free and on my way. Also, other questions on who they are, where they came from, and what they're doing out in the wilderness.

It's quite difficult to say what you do in these surprising situations, you may think you would 'toughin up' and be calm about it, but when you face it it always seems to get the better of you. I thought I'd know what to do in a time of a tornado, instead I panicked and now I've been steadily afraid of severe thunderstorms since then.

Some good points Maxx, and The language would be the first to cross, as you spoke and they replyed can it be something that is understood by both parties? .

Or in fact has the rats learned to speak as we "lift latch to open".
If so, then I must ask Justin, " Who in the heck is that cute mouse I keep seeing just out side of your doings.

if i woke up tied my first thought would be what did i do and to who. once i relized my situation my next thought would be to not say something incredably stupid that gets me killed. then i would probably get gaged because despite how hard i try i ussaully say stupid stuff. pluss i would have so many question they would probably ponder about just leaving me like that

Well Lee, just act crazy and babble, ' works for me in real life', and they may leave you alone, hopfuly they may be thinking just another human loon and who would hear or take credit in him? They would just walk off and leave you be.
But, if Mrs Brisby runs back and gives you a kiss on the cheak, then you are safe, then she knows you would not turn them in to NIMH, and I think Justin would hold true to that, yay!, Lee is saved. :D .

first off never call me lee drves me nuts.first off never call me lee drves me nuts. next thing is i have a bit of trouble with disgrimination. i dont discriminate what comes out of my mouth i just talk. for example a girl asked me once does this dress make me look fat and i being relitively stupid said it is the fat that makes you look fat the dress has nothing to do with it. after i got a black eye i relized what i had just said and apologized. i say stupid stuff like that all the time. i would probably unintential insult one of them and end up dead.

Hmm, I am a little bit confused on this, I was using a short wording of leejakobson as lee, this is done in some forums, In other animation forums where I`m "Desert Mouse" I am called by others Des, DesMouse, or D.M. and such, forgive me, no malice was intended.

As to the rest, just some lite humor and fun in this sorry world. Since even us as NIMH fans here, we really do`nt know each other lives and sometimes we can hurt with out knowing it.

if you prefer a nickname sorter than leejakobson try jakobson jake or jakob any would do just not lee

Thanks, Jake and no harm intended, I`ll try never to use the other name :wink: .

I'm not entirely sure how I would react, but I figure my brain would go through the following checklist:

1. Am I dreaming?
2. Am I drunk?
--If yes, go to 2a--
2a. What the devil did I drink last night?!?
2b. Even my drunk dreams aren't this crazy. Proceed to question 3.
--
3. Am I insane?

After processing that list and coming to the tentative conclusion that I'm not nuts, I think I'd likely pass out in shock. Coming to again would likely force me to accept this bizarre new reality, and from there, I think I'd approach things as scientifically as possible--ie, make friends, convince them I'm not a threat, and try to learn as much about them as possible.
