Vilnius

There is a soft pumping sound, pulsing, thrumming, coming from the small grove of trees upon the hill that overlooks the pond.
The scent of blood drifts from the area as well, fresh and hot.
Should one be brave enough to look into what the sound and scent was, they would find a stag, though his gently rounded stomach might come as a surprise, will you speak with the Prince of Hearts?

----

Alaska

A flash of snow white within the sunlight.
A stag sits within the halo of warmth, white as virgin snow how ironic that is.
Beneath each eye are rivers of crimson colouration, but aside from that his coat is pure.
His eyes seem to contain the night sky itself, languid ribbons of aurora colour spin and weave within them.

---


Amsden

The soft sound of the river gurgles and sings.
Beside it, a stag of crimson fur sits, a silken coat lays over him, buttoned at the neck, golden blond hair flopping into his eyes.
a few earrings hang from his ears, and necklaces hand about his neck.
He seems relaxed, happy even, certainly good company, right?

Sucre

What could that smell be...
Chocolate, and vanilla...sugar caramel, syrup? sugar!
The stag trots lightly through the shady first forest, various candies sitting upon, hanging from, and generally growing from his bubblegum antlers.
He wears a wide grin, cotton candy tail waving behind him, nearly dancing as he moves.

Patriot

---

Upon the altar, nestled within the ruins, sitting like a demon from a long forgotten legend, a winged canine sits.
Her ears of red and blue feathers twitch lazily every so often, she probably already knows you're around, it's easy to see in her eyes, which glow neon green, as if radioactive.
Her tail gives a twitch, music notes rippling.
Dare you approach?

---

Angevine

A muzzle extends, butterfly landing upon it, and the stag, for he is very much a stag despite his lack of antlers, smiles slightly.
He's a pretty looking male, and he looks very at peace, sitting in the sunlit flowers, amongst the butterflies, though they are far more colourful than the markings upon him, or him in general, he seems to fit there.

-----

Thomas J Alain

If one did not look closely they might have assumed that the stag was wearing a coat.
But he was not, the color of his fur merely mimicked the patterning and colors of the revolutionary war uniform he had worn in his human life.
of course the may also have assumed he was a doe, lacking in antlers as he was.
his tail gives a flick as he walks slowly through the forest, turning his head to take everything in, a bloodied medical patch giving him a blind spot, and his ears constantly turn to make up for it.

----

France

He seems to strut as he walks, showing off every (rather delicious) inch of fur and body he can, bright blond hair tied back, showing bright blue eyes, no antlers to be seen, who needs them? he's not a fighter, he's a lover
He sings lightly to himself, about himself, in french, ah vanity, one of his many traits.
He can see the beauty in other things too of course.
He does it a lot.
greet him? We shall see what beauty he finds in you
...
or not~

Prince

He is easy to see, of course, he does not try to hide himself, he has no reason to.
He sits within a sunlit' patch, like a king upon his throne.
Or rather, a Prince, upon his throne.

His chocolate coloured fur is perfectly cleaned, shining even, stripes the colour of fine gold streak his rump daintily.
Atop his head, he even bears a crown, secured upon his head the way other deer bore antlers.

A rope sits coiled between his legs, organized, the other end of the noose is looped about his neck, forever a reminder of his sins.

Servant

He appears to be in a daze, stumbling through the grasses and trees like a zombie, the red string about his neck flickers in the wind, flashing against his long, silky fur, the colour of jet or ink.
His eyes are large, but they are half closed at the moment, adding to the dazed expression.

At last he simply collapses, sitting in a patch of shade, he appears to be in shock. maybe someone should speak to him...

Daywalker

The sun burns high in the sky, beating down relentlessly.
Walking slowly is a deer, no, a deity, hooves light upon the ground, only the tips touch the ground.
it looks delicate, but beautiful, its eyes glimmer like dull stars.
Upon his head large, heavy looking horns, his head is not held up, though it's hard to tell if it's from the weight or not.
the being seems kind, maybe you would like to speak with it.


Nightflier


The veil of the sun, the day, has been wiped away.
A flash of starry sky! the sun trails behind the deity, glowing dim, eyes open, gleaming like stars caught within its head.
Behind it, galaxies stream, brilliant, ever changing mixture of sky and stars.
And it is swift, there's no way a normal deer could keep up.
But a chance! the being stops to rear, tossing its head to the sky before brilliant hooves come crashing down, and it is still.
Quick, now's your chance to talk to it!

"How can I not? It certainly

"How can I not? It certainly seems to all add up..." he looked at his eyes again. Indeed it did add up, eyes like that...

"I'm just not really good with people, you could say." he shrugged. He thought for a moment. "Why did you tell me all of this?" he asked. He could very well call the man insane, but was he? No, not exactly. Troubled, yes, but not insane.

Sonata's picture

"strange that two people, who

"strange that two people, who aren't good with people, would be talking" he smiled at the pure irony of it.
"why?...I don't know why...I'm a slightly impulsive creature, and I've nothing to lose" he explained, "what could you do? hold me hostage? I can't die, I'm not a nation, nobody would come to save me, show me for money? people would think you crazy, most of them anyway, enough of them. all in all, I have no reason not to"

he paused, silent for a few moments.

"and, you told me your name" he said, softer now.
GingerNut's picture

Bartleby laughed. "Seduction

Bartleby laughed. "Seduction certainly is a people skill, I would think. It seems you use it often." he said, fear long since been cast aside. "Hm, it just seems like something you would hide from most people." he said, twirling his hair again.

"As for my first name. Now why would I tell you something like that? I've only let two people call me it. My sister and my stalker." he sighed. "Perhaps I'm more impulsive myself than I thought."

Sonata's picture

"I suppose" he nodded, smile

"I suppose" he nodded, smile remaining.
"I do" he said simply, "you may very well be the only human without some link to the government that knows"

he laughed lightly.
"does 'your stalker' have a name?" he questioned, "and you seem to like your stalker" he noted, taking more interest in that than his female family member of course.
He was shallow, he could admit it.

Really she said taking out a

Bartleby paused. "Well,

Bartleby paused. "Well, aren't I just so special?" he chuckled lightly.

He didn't hesistate. "Yes... Not much of one though..." he sighed a little, wrapping his arms around his legs. "Jergens. That would be it. He follows me around like a lost puppy." his normally pale face flushed in color. "I don't know what he wants from me. Sex? Money? And I hope I don't ever find out." he left it at that.

Sonata's picture

Faunet; "but are you doing

Faunet;

"but are you doing it because you crave it? or because you can and you are trying to prove something?" he tilted his head, "which would be silly of course, there's no reason to prove anything to me, I have nothing to give you" he said simply.
"my own body is so scarred it's amazing I have any normal skin left beneath this jacket and shirt of mine" he mused.

Ginger;

the state thought it over.
"Love, perchance?...I find that is usually what lost puppies are after, hm, Juneau"
The wolf barked once, wagging his tail and bobbing his head in what was very much a nod.
"I won't intrude on your private affairs of course"
GingerNut's picture

Bartleby yelped in surprise

Bartleby yelped in surprise when the wolf barked, it hadn't made much noise to begin with, after all. He put a hand to his chest, feeling his heart racing for a moment. "Oh, I know that, but at what cost?" he asked, lightly gasping in spite of himself.

"I would prefer not to talk about it, no. It's a subject I've been avoiding." he muttered to himself. "For a state, you're quite polite." he grinned in spite of himself.

(Baw, gettin' food)

Sonata's picture

He nodded, laughing at the

He nodded, laughing at the shock Faith got when his companion barked.
"of course" he said softly, and then, to his comment about him being polite;

"I've lived for a long time, and, once upon a time, boys were raised to be polite" he laughed under his breath.
"or maybe you mistake my uncaring for politeness..." he whispered.
GingerNut's picture

"Between the two, is there

"Between the two, is there really a difference?" he asked. Most polite people that he knew didn't give a damn about him. While more unpolite people (more specifically Jergens) had the best understanding of him and treated him with honesty.

"A courteous demeaner could very easily be used as a mask for uninterested a person really is." he look down at the wolf. "Please don't scare me like that. It's not good for me to get startled." he mumbled to him.

Sonata's picture

"I suppose not" he said

"I suppose not" he said softly, looking up slowly.
"I suppose I use that to my advantage...courteous demeanor" he smiled, "hmm..."

he looked over to the blond boy, tilting his head a bit.
"I'm glad I came over to try and flirt with you" he laughed under his breath, "you've managed to keep my interest, and, faint as they may be" he looked away once more, Juneau turning his head to look at Alaska for a few moments.

"managed to stir an emotion or two...without the pain of course"

the wolf's tail thumped, and he looked back to Bartleby, nuzzling against him happily.
GingerNut's picture

Bartleby took the wolf in his

Bartleby took the wolf in his arms, welcoming his affection. "From the way you talk, you make it seem like quite an accomplishment." he said, his mood brightening a bit more.

"Hm, I guess you could say I'm glad as well." his eyes narrowed a bit. "Well, not in the way you intended." he laughed a little.

"I'm glad, although I'm not quite sure welcome them or not. Pain isn't the only way to have emotion." he murmured softly.

Sonata's picture

The canine curled up a bit,

The canine curled up a bit, clearly overjoyed to be getting so much attention now.

"of course" he replied, still smiling.
"and yes, it is an accomplishment...hm" he mused, quiet now.

"maybe not, but then...I'm rather broken" he reminded the frail boy.
GingerNut's picture

"We both are. Me physically

"We both are. Me physically and you mentally." he stated softly, running his ashen fingers underneath the wolf's fur. He thought for a moment. "So many people have told me that I'm going to die soon, you know." he looked over at Alaska and met his eyes. "In a way, I think I'm getting the better deal than you are. Immortality... I'd rather die early than have that." he whispered, burying his face into the wolf's fur.

(O sweet irony 0-o)
Sonata's picture

((Irony how we do loveth

((Irony how we do loveth thou))

the state chuckled again, "not something many can stand I suppose...broken people, ah, the entire world is broken" he smiled, "trust me, I know" he joked.

Juneau sighed again, dozing in the warmth of Faith's lap, snoring quietly now.
GingerNut's picture

He didn't move, his voice was

He didn't move, his voice was muffled against the wolf's fur. "The broken world... What does it look like?" he asked. If this personified state could tell him his past, then why not what he saw? Curiosity got the better of him.

However, the conversation was making him exhausted. Not sleepy, just weaker than usual. He hoped that Jergens would be coming around soon... If there was one thing that deadbeat was good for, it was getting him home. He frankly had no idea where the hell he even was.

Sonata's picture

he arched a brow, noting how tired the other looked.
He moved closer, not taking advantage of him or anything, merely supporting him now as he spoke softly, humming fr a moment as if thinking about how exactly to word it all.
"it's...like watching a world full of people go by, forcing on smiles and kind words, when the frowns and malice are nearly tangible in the air, and, the rare times that you find someone truly good they're on the bottom, somehow managing to stay happy despite it all, even though they have nothing, while the unhappy people on top that have everything, look down on them and mock them, as if it has become normal to be angry, to be depressed...and then there are those rare few like me, who are tired of the sorrow on top, but can't bear to be kicked around on the bottom, and so we create our own broken little worlds with nothing real in them, while everyone in the world turns a blind eye to each other, most of the time not bothering to do one kind thing for another even if it would take only a moment, unless there's some kind of reward in it for them, and in the end...that's not true kindness anyway"
GingerNut's picture

Bartleby simply nodded, not

Bartleby simply nodded, not exaclty expecting it to sound so... complex really. All doubts were cast aside now, he knew Alaska had not lied to him. "I'm glad... that I'll be leaving soon then..." he murmured. He shivered a little, despite the heat.

He pondered his explanation of it though in spite of his shakiness. "Why are people so... stupid?" he asked, he couldn't find a better word for it. What else was there?

Sonata's picture

"don't talk like that" he

"don't talk like that" he mumbled, playing absently with Faith's hair, a habit he had picked up from...a few people actually...
"not everyone is...they just tend to see the truth when it's too late to change" he said simply, "like yourself...but then, broken people always seem to see it best..."

Juneau whimpered softly.

The white haired state frowned slightly, "you seem so..." what was the word he wanted, tired, yes, but also...

"you seem very delicate" he decided at last.


GingerNut's picture

He didn't really care anymore

He didn't really care anymore that this strange man was touching him like that. It wasn't like he had the energy to push him away now anyway. "A nice euphanism, delicate..." he murmured. "I was born not only with a disorder but an awful immune system as well, you could say..." his breathing had become a bit shallow.

"It's a shame... that the people who live the longest are the ones who never see fit to change..."

Sonata's picture

This is why Alaska usually

This is why Alaska usually kept himself away from humans, how delicate they were, you could nearly watch them dieing.
"Juneau, down" he ordered softly.
"do you know where you live? the address?" he asked with a sigh, kicking himself mentally for allowing himself to give a damn.
he lightly wrapped his coat about the blond boy, so he wouldn't have to worry so much about cutting him, it's hard to get hurt when wrapped in a layer of soft leather and rabbit fur.
He lightly picked the frail looking boy up, ignoring the odd looks they got.

"let me tell you now that if I'm responsible for you getting hurt, I will never, ever forgive myself" he admitted, rolling his colourful eyes.
GingerNut's picture

"You really are a good

"You really are a good person... you know..." his voice was just a whisper now. Before he could even tell him where he lived his eyes had closed. Frequent passing out was one of his other 'problems'. The past few times it had happend though, Jergens had been around to help him. Now he was stuck with someone that he knew so much yet so little of.
Sonata's picture

"damn" he mumbled under his

"damn" he mumbled under his breath, Juneau whimpering loudly.
All the same he would find out somehow.
After much asking around (and a threat or two) he managed to get himself pointed in the right direction, coming to the gates.
Juneau shoved against them, and Alaska mumbled a small word of praise to him, wondering if anything bad would happen if he stepped onto the grounds.

Oh well.

he went ahead and walked past the gate, praying no alarm would sound, because he didn't want to deal with that...
GingerNut's picture

The estate was practically

The estate was practically deserted. Two dogs, however, were sitting on either side of the front door. One black with white paws, the other black with a white muzzle. Both perked their heads up and panted in greeting, jumping up and running towards the new visitor, obviously friendly. Both stopped when they saw that the man was holding their Master. The white muzzled one whimpered and lowered his head, while the other cautiously sniffed Juneau.

The white-muzzled dog turned tail and ran for the door, scratching on it and barking as if it felt there was some urgency about it all.

Sonata's picture

Juneau sniffed back, lowering

Juneau sniffed back, lowering himself for a moment to show that he did not think at all that he was boss in this house before joining the canine at the door, barking and howling with all the strength in him.

Juneau made his way easily up to the door, casting the dog an amost apologetic glance.
"Hello?" he called, may as well have not bothered, the dogs seemed to drown his voice out.
GingerNut's picture

A voice came from behind the

A voice came from behind the doors, tired and not at all rushed. "Quiet, you two! You know it's hard for me to open doors..." a small click and the door opened to a rather handsome looking deer. A stag, actually. A shining symbol floated atop his head, giving him quite the regal look. He looked the man and wolf over cautiously and then recognized the Master. His eyes flashed in anger. "Who are you?! What are you doing with the Master?!" he lowered his antlers, taking on a threatening pose. The two dogs cowered away and huddled next to each other, it was not often that this stag got angry.

"I swear, you humans are all the same! Taking advantage of people of weaker than you..." he pawed the tile floor from inside the house, leaving little scuff marks.

Sonata's picture

"I'm not human" he seemed

"I'm not human" he seemed surprisingly not shocked.
He'd had an encounter as a child with a wendigo, he figured this deer couldn't be much worse.
"and I didn't do anything to him" he assured.
Juneau immediatly took up a defensive pose, standing in front of Alaska, teeth bared, growling loudly.

"calm Juneau" he said softly, and the wolf obeyed, whimpering as he backed down.
Alaska's ever changing eyes turned back on the stag.
"can..." he flinched, shoving the emotion from his voice.

Such weakness...had he, become so soft...

"can you help him?"
GingerNut's picture

The stag raised himself a

The stag raised himself a bit. He cleared his throat a little, composing himself. "Yes, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted so... foolishly..." he stepped forward and sniffed Bartleby over. "Ah. A shame that he had to pass out on the streets, right? I'm so sorry you had to be troubled with him..." he stepped back, allowing his massive body to clear the doorway for him.

"Will you carry him for me to the infirmary? I'm afraid I couldn't do so myself without running the risk of dropping him..." he paused a bit. and eyed him curiously. "I am the Master's personal doctor, if you will. The people hear call me Malware."

Sonata's picture

he nodded, "it's fine" he

he nodded, "it's fine" he mumbled, stepping into the house, "sure, uhm, lead the way" he eyed the stag again, "I wasn't troubled at all" he added then, thinking quietly as they walked. "he's not like most...humans" he stated simply, "I'm Alaska...or Ethan, or Petrov whichever you hate less" he stated, still following the stag, perfectly silent now.

He couldn't remember the last time he talked so much in a day, normally he didn't talk so much in a week.
GingerNut's picture

(Bawww... No color for now...

(Bawww... No color for now... on the Wii again xD)

The stag chuckled as he led the way "My, you are strange... Not terrified to see a talking deer?" he walked at a swift pace, not really paying any mind to his own pace.
They soon entered a much more dank hallway, not as well kept as the others. He walked over to a large set of doors at the end, opening one casually with his teeth. "After you..." he muttered, practically shoving him in. He pointed he muzzle over to a blood stained cot. "Lay him there." he ordered as began opening various cabinets about him.
Sonata's picture

((baww XD)) "maybe Faith

((baww XD))

"maybe Faith will give you the story of why I don't seem shocked when he wakes up" he said softly, laying Bartleby down gently, not bothering to take his coat back, merely letting him lay on top of it, not really careing if it became dirty in any way.
Juneau sat off to the side and out of the way, flopped on the ground in exhuastion.
GingerNut's picture

He raised an eyebrow at this

He raised an eyebrow at this as he rummaged through various tools. "First name basis?" he seemed a bit shocked, but soon thought nothing of it. The wolf was strange too... but not worth bothering about.
"Ah, there we are..." he mumbled to himself. He turned to Bartleby and bent forward, the glowing symbol atop his head flashing a brilliant gold before dying down again.
"Give him a few minutes to come to..." he turned to Alaska. "Seems the stress was a bit much for him"
Sonata's picture

"does he not let many call

"does he not let many call him Faith?" he asked, arms crossed over his chets calmly, leaning against the bed, careful not to disturb Bartleby.
"if he's so delicate, who's bright idea was it to leave him out there alone?" he asked sudenlly, biting his lip lightly, an old habit, something he did to ease boredom away.
GingerNut's picture

"You don't know? Only his

"You don't know? Only his sister and his 'assistant' can call him that. Odd, indeed..." he muttered to himself. "Jergens wanted to take him out. I tried to tell him it wouldn't be a good idea..." he shuddered a little in mild annoyance. "I told Jergens not to leave the Master by himself..." he muttered. "Oh, won't he get a peice of my mind when he gets back..." His pictogram seemed to mimic his emotions, as it flared an angry golden color.
Sonata's picture

he nodded but, he didn't ask

he nodded but, he didn't ask about it anymore, no need to, why should he?
"he's so fragile" he said softly, and then, looking at the glowing symbol above the deer's head.
"what is that symbol, sitting above your head? if it's not rude of me to ask" he questioned, tilting his head slightly.
GingerNut's picture

The stag ignored his first

The stag ignored his first comment and simply lowered his head, allowing the state to have a closer look. "It is my name." he said simply. "My real name is understood, not spoken like a humans." a warm smile came to his. He enjoyed talking about his name. "You see I am no ordinary deer, obviously. You saw that from my magic." He paused. "It's the only way to keep the Master alive, he has gone long so far down that a human doctor wouldn't let him last a few weeks..."

A small groan escaped Bartleby. His eyes opened warily. "Malware? What am I..." he sat up and fell back, still a bit dizzy.

Sonata's picture

"if you like, I will adress

"if you like, I will adress you by that name. if you tell me how" he said softly, but he turned at the sound of Faith's voice, arching a brow.
"how do you feel?" he asked, trying to keep his voice flat, but still, the smallest bit of emotion crept into his voice, though it was something he tried to keep away, he couldn't help it around the frail boy who seemed to understand how horrid the world really was.
GingerNut's picture

The stag sighed and turned to

The stag sighed and turned to his Master. Such conversations could be saved for another time. "I told you, Master... Going outside is only going to hurt you..." the stag lightly scolded him. Bartleby ignored him, he was too busy staring at Alaska in astonishment. "Did you really go to the trouble of bringing me here?" he asked. He tried to raise himself again, still a bit shaky. "I feel a bit dizzy..." he admitted softly. "It's nothing I'm not used to though, I'm okay..."

She sighed a bit of both she

She sighed a bit of both she said as she watched bits of blood ozz from her wound.

"it wasn't any trouble" he said softly, glancing at the deer, scolding like a parent...my how nostalgic that was.
He brushed his hair behind one ear.
"being around you does weird stuff to me" he mumbled, "and don't try and get up, you'll make yourself sick" he warned.

He rolled his eyes.
"don't bother trying to prove anything to me" he looked at her, meeting her eyes perfectly.
"I am not. And never will be. Impressed."

Malware promptly shut his mouth and sat away from them. He knew when he wasn't wanted.

Bartleby smiled at his remark. "It's how I feel every day. Not like this is any different..." he murmured weakly. He held out a shaking hand, coaxing his wolf friend over. He needed something soft to hold onto.

"Weird?" he laughed, a dry almosy coughing like sound. "Perhaps that 'weirdness' would be another emotion?"

Alaska nodded, standing slowly.
"come Juneau" he patted his hip, calling the canine along.
"I suppose, that I should go" he stretched, picking his bag up.
"don't bleed yourself out" he began walking away.
"you're more breakable than I"

"I lived with Russia for a large part of my life, I can defend myself from others three times your strength, at least, careful" his eyes narrowed.
"I also, have a weapon, like all of his family, think twice before messing wth me" his frown deepened.
"I am not concerned with others, if it will benefit me, I will hurt you"
