Family of the Ruins (Dark Family RP. Semi-open RP - Must know closely or be part of family)

Zergarikiaka's picture
With the upcoming autumn season, the air around the old ruins had begun to slowly change. Leaves began to change from their summery greens to vivid oranges, yellows and reds. The ivy climbing up stone walls began to wither and dry out, and flowers completely disappear, with the exception of the virtually unending growths of poppies. From the ground, a mist was beginning to emerge to hint at the upcoming Halloween season.

The liveliness around the ruins had also changed, not as the seasons, but over the course of a full year. Members of the long departed had been revived, and new additions to a long held family had begun to grow. Though they were kept safe under their gravekeeper father's supervision, the newer fawns were getting older and more self sufficient. The older members were also perhaps closer than ever after their revival at Osias's miracle power. Soon the fawns would be allowed to wander more on their own, but certainly never have to be without eachother or their siblings. Of course, during the upcoming season leaving the increasingly active ruins won't be any issue, but as long as the rut remains in place they were better off together and away from the rowdiness.

The antelope yawned, sitting

The antelope yawned, sitting up on his pillar. It was always his bed to lay on the old man-made stone at the Ruins, and he felt like he hadn't slept in weeks. He rubbed his eyes with an arm and slipped off of the pillar, not landing correctly and crashing into the ground below. "Owwhh...", he groaned, before standing and shaking off.

Quad looked about. Something was different, was there something going on here? There was an unusual mist in the place, and he could have sworn he heard noises coming from the gravestones. His legs were shaking oddly, and as he stepped past the pillars, he looked to see if anyone was there. "H-hello?", he called, still tired from his sleep that he wasn't sure if he saw something or nothing at all...

In the morning mist,

In the morning mist, Darkweaver had been in the process of removing weeds from some of the low laying graves and still ripening pumpkins that had only been planted that summer. Every now and then a sharp movement of his head to unearth a weed by it's roots would cause a miniature gust from his singular antler, repulsing the fine mist away from himself. A tall ear adjusts as a tired voice calls out. "Hnn...?"

Facing the sound of the familiar voice, faintly glowing crimson eyes are reflected off the mist. "You are... up early... Quad." Dark rasps casually, pulling his skull mask into his form of a smile. With the blackbuck usually sleeping at one of the gravesites, it was pretty safe to assume the gravekeeper would be aware of the other's slumber habits. The earlier parts of the morning were usually a pretty good chance to clean up the ruins, before either the fawns or random strangers and litterdeer had a chance to romp through.

The antelope blinked several

The antelope blinked several times, startled right at first that there was even a reply. His friend and mentor had a good way to send a chill down his spine.

"O-oh! Hey there, D-Darkweaver!", he stammered nervously, clearing his throat, "I'm glad it's you there. I thought for a second you were...you know...Iugulare...", he flashed a little grin, genuinely relieved but also still drowsy. He looked about, the strange mist around and the dusky light about, he was safe to assume he had woken up earlier than usual. Darkweaver was spot on that he was up early.

Quad had never noticed how clean the old Ruins were, not until he saw Dark pulling up weeds and things, "D-did you, erm...need some help straightening up around here? I can certainly do what I can, I never knew you even did this kind of thing around here.", he took another look around, "In fact, you do a really good job, I never even noticed how clean the place was. Guess I've stopped really paying attention to details like that."

He realized he was talking quite a bit, and finally stopped speaking there so Dark would have a chance to respond.

Arien had been enjoying a

Arien had been enjoying a snooze before the sounds of voices woke her up. She recognized her father's voice, but who was the other one? He talked way more than her father did. Regardless, he seemed to be friends with Darkweaver.
The black fawn stood in a hurry, quite eager to meet a new face. She swiftly climbed over the crumbling slabs and between her father's legs, stopping just before the chains on Darkweaver's front hooves. With all six of her eyes focused on the blackbuck, Arien asked, "Who's he?"

Darkweaver chuckled a bit. It

Darkweaver chuckled a bit. It wasn’t every day he passed for potentially being the stout. Perhaps he lost a little weight? No matter. He smiled at the compliment. ”Hnn… thank you. They do… not call me a… gravekeeper for… nothing.” He holds his smile, long tail swaying slowly behind himself. Blinking a set of eyes, he looks down between his forelegs to see Arien had joined the conversation. Lowering his head, he nuzzles his daughter before looking back toward his old friend. “This is… Quad. He is… an old friend.” he explains.

((Crap post too. XD))

The antelope nearly jumps

The antelope nearly jumps when Arien speaks. He didn't even see her there beneath Darkweaver. "O-oh, hello there!", he clears his throat and bows, "My name is Quad, and umm...Darkweaver here is a good friend of mine. Actually, he's much like a mentor to me, he taught me all about how to use my antlers correctly.", he musters a chuckle, before looking to Darkweaver, "I'm afraid I don't think I've met her before, but I can see the resemblance. I've been away too long it seems.", he says.

He looks about some, and sniffs the air a little. He had to be sure Iugulare or Noctuis weren't around. Thankfully, he didn't smell that distinct scent their infection let off. He knew they were pretty safe here, at least as far as his enemies. He relaxes with a soft exhale before looking back to them.

Idaine looked up, groggy with

Idaine looked up, groggy with tired eyes. What was all this commotion that interrupted the usually quiet atmosphere of their home? The grey fawn stood, yawning with a little squeak and shaking the loose dirt from her fur. Following the path her sister had taken, she looks up timidly at Quad. Though he didn't give off the air of an enemy, and he had just said he was a friend, she couldn't shake that nervousness she felt when seeing someone new. Her four, red eyes looked at him curiously, shifting between the different focuses the two sets allowed her to see, and she decided he wasn't something to fear. Though the little fawn still kept her guard up. Running against Darkweaver's foreleg like a cat, she became distracted by something on the ground, losing interest in the newcomer for that quick moment. When the interesting stone was no longer appealing, she looked back up at Quad. "You're weird," the little one said bluntly.

Dark nods to Quad. "You've

Dark nods to Quad. "You've cer...tainly been absent a... while." he agrees with a half chuckle. "These are... two of my... little girls. Arien and... Idaine." he introduces. Turning a single eye away from the current gathering, he glances back toward the ruins to check Cearul's whereabouts. Certainly if the girls were here, he'd be around shortly.
