October 2, 2016 Remembered the Rut happening somewhere around this time and I’ve been really wanting to check to see how it’s going and to possibly catch sight of friends I haven’t seen for so long. Upon entering at the Ruins, sighted a few groups but everyone in the area seemed to be sleeping. While walking to a more secluded area, I notice galloping hooves behind me, and suddenly, a tiny deer tackles me. Uh…oh! Well, hello there. They seem friendly enough and just excited to find someone awake to play with. We hop around until calls disturb the quietness. We follow the direction of where the call came from. Came upon a deer and a fawn, quickly joined by two deer and a fawn. Soon enough I have my own “herd”. I huff as I remember the last time I heard those words. Watching everyone play I realize how much I have missed being here. Being out there is great too, but I should stop by here more often. The weather changes. It rains—oh nice, then a mixture of rain and snow starts coming down until the rain recedes and all that’s falling is snow. -- Somehow I got separated by the small one, two of the others, and the fawns. How’d that happen? Searching for them I come across a stag named Gleer and a couple of others. Playing with Gleer and the group, I’m sure to keep an ear out for the others. -- Having settled down with Gleer, I watch as the others slowly leave one by one. Snow has begun to pile up on us and I stand up, shaking it off. The stag joins in and somehow we get back into running around and playing. Running up the hill towards the Twins, we happen upon Gaya and one other. Gaya seems to be just as lively as Gleer and joins in our play around the Statues. Pausing to shake more snow off, I notice that the unknown named one seems to disagree with our antics. I turn towards Grumpy-furs and nod each time they shake their head at us, then giving them a playful nuzzle for tease. That seems to loosen them up and they join us in our silliness. -- Grumpy-furs disappears off to somewhere. Laying at the statue with Gleer and Gaya, I rest a bit. Gleer suddenly shoots off from my side, down the hill. What’s that about? I get up to get a better view, and it seems be like the stag is admiring this new deer that has made an appearance. He brings them over after a small discussion and just as they were making it up the hill, a giant raven approaches. Oooh! Instant nuzzles for giant birb. Grooms and fluffs feathers before bouncing back into action with the others. Waking up at my old spot at the Ruins brings back memories, good and bad, but mostly good. I could hear more movement and chatter now. Standing up and stretching my body I decide to wonder about the Forest. Maybe I could come across and old friend. Happened upon the same giant raven that I had met earlier. Attempted to feather groom them more. I run and jump a bit while they hop, skip, and flap along. I decide to settle down. Left alone after some time of not moving, I realized I’m near the old spot we used during the Rut. I trot over to the flowerbed between the two trees and sit there for some time, remembering about days long gone and friends and acquaintances that I’ve missed. Did they miss me too? Shook out of the thought before it got too deep and got up from the spot, making my way to the Pond. Slowly walked into the water until it was flanking my sides, dunk my head under for a refresher then start on cleaning my fur again. That wash off earlier didn’t seem to have happened thanks to the running and roughhousing earlier. Cleaning up I notice a sleeping Lem at the high end. Hoping that the big guy wouldn’t mind me accompanying him, I trot over to him and lay. I listen to my surroundings, letting the sounds of others and the slight chill of the early snow lull me to sleep once again. 12-13-15 Attended the second day of the Russian Rut. Neither Solyn nor Dovahkiin were there this time, but Lem was there. Apparently he was competing today. Wished him the best of luck as best as I could. Was approached by Dazenth and Kamaya. Nuzzled them both and went to the other side to watch the fight. Saw Jen, Hiirni, and Tau sitting next to a tree on a hill, greeted them before going down closer to the fight. Lupen was watching the fight as well. Greeted her and sat with her. The little one with stars for a pelt came to me, and joined. A break for the fighters was called, so I decided to do another cheerleader moment. Was joined by more deer this time. The star deer along with a brown deer seemed to be the rowdiest of the spectaters, roaring and stomping their hooves. Vala stopped by for a few minutes, interacting with Lupen. When the fight seemed to be over, played around with Cu, who had arrived some time earlier, Lupen, the star deer, and two others. After resting and playing with them, went to the Ruins and saw Husky with another deer, who looked exactly like her when we first met, in the mushroom circle on the hill. Joined them but ended up falling asleep. 12-12-15 Came upon a gathering, slowly making his way into the circle to see a fight happening in the middle. Saw Aki was one of the deer fighting. Was greeted by Dovahkiin (previously Donovan) with a big nuzzle. Sat with him and experienced the Russian Rut. Saw Solyn with Lydia and some other deer a bit a ways. Soyln came and sat with Don and I. Became a cheerleader with Soyln and two other deer as the fighters took a break. Soyln was greet with starting that. After the event was over for the day, had my own spar with Solyn and then had a mini party with some of the fighters. Took care of Mandel with the company of the small, star-pelted deer I met the other day. --- Went to the crystal in the birch forest. There was another there. They didn't seem to mind my presence so I sat next to the crystal and fell asleep. Woke up to a deer named Rook sitting a distance. Walked over to him, greeted him and gestured to him about sitting closer. He agreed, maybe a bit reluctant, and sat with me. Woke up again to the golem. Greeted and played with. Rook seemed to question our playing. Seemed to want to join but... confused? After a while, after golem had sat next to the crystal, Rook hopped and ran with me. He seemed to enjoy himself, if the laughs were anything to go by. Sat at separate trees but faced each other. After a while longer, got tired and wished everyone good day, as best as I could, before going to sleep. 12-4-15 Woke up in the birch forest. Walked around and saw that crstyal formation. Laid next to it. After a while smelled Hiirni pass by with a couple of others, but wasn't feeling that much in a good mood so I thought it wasn't a good idea to interact. Saw Mandel and Hiirni and his company at the Playground. Debated if I should go over and try to interact. Did so. Don't think it turned out all that well. Went back to the crystal and slept next to it, hoping that it wouldn't mind the not quite so good company. Later, went back to the Playground and saw Husky and Mandel playing with another deer and Jen and Nix on the big rock. Stood around, not really knowing what to do until Vala came by and motioned for me to sit with her. Took a nap and I guess the nap along with the good company helped my mood. Felt better than I did earlier. But Vala was gone. Was woken up by a presence above me. Eeh, it's that Shadow deer from the other day. Doesn't seem to bad, but he's a bit creepy. There was also a giant frog with him. He later left, but the frog stayed. A fawn came by and requested to play. Played with the fawn, the very active fawn. Stopped them from trying to step on the frog, as it seemed to not really like that. Messed around with spells with them until they seemed to have calmed down and sat... Before getting right back up and running off somewhere. +Played with Jen and Filou before settling down and going to sleep. 11-8-15 Woke up to rain and ran around the Forest. Passed by the Old Oak and saw Bzaër'aalieth and Nevermore in there. Oh wow, haven't seen her in a long time. I hope she's doing good. Went to the Pond and saw Kamaya there. She looked better than last time... but not by much. I walked up to her and bowed, but she must have been somewhere else as she hadn't noticed. Sat down next to the big willow and fell asleep. Woke up with her next to me. Got up and nuzzled her and gestured that it was alright to sit with me. Woke up to Mandel near. Greeted and nuzzled him, before a small doe appeared. Turned and greeted her as well. Played with him and a doe, Ash, checking on Kamaya every now and then. Ash ran off somewhere and Kamaya disappeared. Vala passed by. I ran after her, but couldn't keep up. Went back and found that she had casted the Koi mask on Mandel. Laughed at how good she was at doing that. Urschanabi arrived with a fawn. Wow, isn't the guy afraid of them? Danced with Urschanabi, the fawn, and Mandel. The fawn left. Lupen and Lydia arrived and joined in the dancing. Jumped around with Urschanabi until he went to lay down under a willow, but Fly and Vala appeared in a rush, and I jumped around with Fly. After a few more dances, I settled down under the willow Urschanabi was sleeping under, with Fly, Vala, and Ash. Met Tigerstar for a bit. Mandel and SylvanRah soon joined the pile. It was a fantastic day with friends. 10-25-15 (Might edit later) *Woke up at the Ruins and first thing I saw was Dazenth walking over to me. Got up and walked towards him, met him halfway and nuzzled him. *Was led to a tree where a green dragon and another deer was. Jumped around with Daz and the deer before sensing L-5 and Mandel. Was followed by the spotted deer. *Greeted them and saw Kamaya sleeping next to a blue deer. *Hopped around with L-5, Mandel and the owl-deer before seeing a raven. *The blue deer that was sleeping got up and greeted me. I greeted them back. Something was familiar about them. Oh! That's Nutai, right? I checked in with Mandel to make sure I was right. Yup. *L-5 left *Everybody ran over to the mushroom hill, except Nutai. I called to try and get him to join, but he just went back to sitting with Kamaya. *Saw Thais and Porcelain. Hopped around with them a bit before laying down and resting. *Woke up to Mandel and Thais playing in one of the flower patches near by. Joined them. *Mandel and Thais fell asleep. I watched the butterflies and deer. I must have fallen asleep, as I was woken up by Mandel jumping next to me. *We played tag, but were happened upon some deer. They were fun, although they didn't join in. *They left and Mandel and I continued our game. This time adding flowers into it. *This weird cat came along and hopped around with us and watched us play our game. Hmm. *Soon, another fawn arrived and the feline played with them. Now won't be to interested in us. *The feline turned out not to be bad at all, and was actually quite sweet and funny. Hung with him and Mandel for the rest of the day. 9-27-15 *Hung out with Aki, Chizzu and Plombir. *Aki and I sparred. No serious fight. *Slept from all the playing. *Mandel arrived. *Played some more with Aki, Mandel and deer. *Porcelain came and went. *Chizzu dissapeared. *Slept again. *Aki was gone. But there was Darden and his family near us and Sabel. *Played with Sabel and a fawn of Darden's. *Lots of deer! Lots of fun! *Something seems wrong with Jovan? *Witnessed Lucchaine vs Swan Prince *Luc is sly. *Lucchaine vs Gustiro *Got bored and was worried about Jovan. Left the fight and went to look for him. *Found him sleeping next to a tree. Sat there with him. 9-26-15 *Woke up alone. *Ventured around and found the herd + two other deer near the Ruins. *Greeted them and jumped around a bit with Rose, Draven, and Mandel, but wasn't really feeling that into it. *Laid down with Mandel. *Got restless and decided to explore, told Mandel so. *Came to the Twins and heard Porcelain call from below. Raced down the hill and met her halfway before running back up the hill to fix her pelt. *Three deer, all loners, arrived at the twins. We greeted each other and began to play. This felt better. *Porcelain came back with another deer deer in tow. This one the same size as her, but with a red pelt. *Porcelain led us back to the group. *Porce vs Saosin? Or flirting? 9-24-15 *Hung out with Urschanabi at the Playground. *Woke up to Mandel standing in front of me. Greeted him and went back to sleep. * Woke up again to find Urschanabi had switched sides, now being on my right, and Lupen on my upper left. *Vala arrived. *Got spelled by Vala and then Lupen. *Danced with them. *Mandel and Urschanabi joined us, but not before also spelling me. What is this? Cast spells on Ashe time? *Slept after dancing. *Woke up to Vaal close, but did not get up. *Got up when Naohm appeared, wanting to greet her, but she ran right before I could. Oh no. *Hid behind the rocks so Vaal would have to move around them to do anything. But this was also said to be a safe zone. *Ran from behind the rocks and played with Porcelain. *Met tiny, red fawn Midznight and played with her as well, not caring about Vaal. *Husky arrived. Nuzzles and playing. *Met Tartar as well. *Mandel left after Vaal did. Is he following him? *After sitting with the group for a while, I felt a disturbance and ran to the Pond. Mandel and Vaal were there, watching each other, but Vaal left after a while. *Mandel seems really upset. Tried to calm him down, but he walked off, saying he was checking something. *Played with Fly and Kes around and in the Pond. *Mandel came back and Dazenth arrived, joining on the play. *Rested with Daz, Fly, and Mandel. *Fly and Dazenth left. *Porcelain and Naohm came to the Pond. Something was wrong with Porcelain, she didn't seem up to play like usual. Naohm and I tired to cheer her up, but I don't think it worked that well. *Gave her space and ran around with Naohm. Porce ended up joining later, but it still didn't seem right. *Met Cedrelÿa. She's really nice and fun. *Everyone's gone. Slept for a while before walking blindly around the Forest. Ended up at the Ruins and met a fawn. *Sabel ran up to us and ran around. *Sadiki came by a few minutes earlier, looking for Sabel. Ended up leading all three of us to the herd. *Alternated between resting near the fawn and playing with either Kestrel, Draven, Sabel or Sadiki. *Sabel got into a fight. Not sure if play or real? *Played with Sabel as everyone started to leave. Made sure to listen and feel closely as the fog made it difficult for me to see. *Jovan was suddenly there. Heya, bro. *Couldn't stay longer, I was getting really tired. Maybe I over worked my body today, I wasn't completely healed after all. 9-23-15 *Met the herd + Issetore in the birch forest. Near Romulus' herd. *Draven seemed like he got into a fight and needed attention. *One of the deer from yesterday walked up with two fawns. Kept a careful watch of the deer. *Meet Severa. *Sat and watched Romulus. *Syl came. Worked on Draven and I. *The cuts don't hurt as much now. Thank you Syl! *Mandel, Syl, and I, followed by a fawn (Manayn), walked to the Rut home. *Fell asleep. *Woke up to thick fog. *Watched Mandel fight with a tree. Pff. *A white doe appeared. Sort of had a familiar air about her but couldn't figure out who. *The doe's Husky! She has a new coat. *Went to sleep again. Flanked by Mandel and Husky. *Woke up to Mandel and Husky greeting Daz. *Husky and I watched Daz and Mandel spar. *Appearantly Husky got bored with it and decided to go up the hill. *Hannelore and another deer ran up to us (turned out to be Cedrelÿa). Soon left. *Husky and I ran back down the hill to see Dazenth and Mandel finishing off their spar. *We all laid down and relaxed. 9-22-15 *Joined the herd at the temporary home. Only Draven, Mandel and Hannelore there at the moment. *Messed around a bit. *Andor and another came by. Andor didn't seem a bit overwhelmed by the event. The two didn't stay long. *Stayed guard with Hannelore while Mandel and Draven went off. *Witnessed a fight between Luc and Red. *Went off looking for Draven and found him near the Blue Bowl being chased by Ahesa. *Fought with Aki. *Stayed to watch him and Mandel fight. But checked with Draven and ended up going back to the herd home. *Saw Doll, but wanted to rest from the fight. *Woke up with Mandel and walked around the Forest. *Saw Luc and Red at it again, but didn't pat attention to it as much as the first time. *Stopped near the Pond and sparred with Mandel. *Got spell casted by a running Vala. *Syl arrived, they had cherries on their antlers. It looked really nice. *Syl groomed us. It felt really good. Gave us cherries too. *Got spell casted by Vala yet again as she ran by. Followed her and got casted again. *Rested with the two until I heard a call nearby. *It was Vaal Followed Vaal to the Twins, and he we exchanged greetings. Another deer, one that he seemed quite close to arrived. I left them alone, going back down the hill. *Stood by Mandel. Was called to by Vaal. *Fought with Vaal. *Vaal's friend made me nervous as it seemed he wanted to jump in as well. *The other deer jumped in for a bit making it two against one. *Donovan arrived and made the other back up. *Phobos and Winnica arrived and watched. *I'm tired but the guy and his friends won't back off. *Hid behind Donovan when I couldn't do any more. They wouldn't stop. *Donovan and Mandel tried to fight them off. *Vaal/Winnica (?) and his two buds vs Donovan/Mandel/Phobos/ and me *The group left. *I'm really sore. Ugh. Sat down and was joined by Donovan, Mandel and Winnica. She's actually really nice. *Reassured Mandel that I was okay. No, no, really, I'm fine. *Dazenth came by to give quick nuzzles. *Monty came by too wanting to play, but I'm too tired and everything is aching right now. 9-20-15 -Spent time with the herd + Fly and Bruce -Missed the sparring of Draven vs Mandel and Mandel vs Sadiki -Met Haroten. Pretend sparred with them. -Danced with Haroten, Fly, and two other fawns. Mandel joined in later. -Haroten left to go watch the spar between Jovan and Draven. Sat there with Fly and the two fawns until Haroten came back. -Played with the feisty little fawn, Fly and SylvanRah until I got tired and went to sleep. 9-8-15 Saw Andor with Emilia and a tiny fawn, but by passed them for the time being to put away the flowers that were given to me the other day. I stored them with the flowers Kamaya had given me a while ago. The poppies were beginning to crumble, I wonder what that meant. On my way back to the three, I was intercepted with a two headed, um, unicorn? They introduced themselves as Ares and Apollo. Okay, cool, but what I want to know is how are they still living, they didn't seem to get along all that well. Andor was walking my way, but stopped at the sight of the two- er, one? They kept me for a bit and asked about my skull before realizing that I couldn't speak, muttering a few words to each other before bowing and leaving. Weird. Andor continued his way over to me and sniffed me. I sniffed back, I guess this is his way of greeting instead of bowing. Fought with him before resting with Emilia and the fawn. The wounds I had gotten while fighting with Andor began to heal as I laid with the others. What was this? Andor ran off. Emilia left, before Andor came back, bringing along Rose with another tiny fawn, Juuka, following right behind them. Played with them and roughhoused with Andor again. Relaxed in the birch forest and watched Andor lay witht the fawns, covering the three. I moved near them, and once again felt my wounds begin to heal. Maybe Andor? No, he had wounds a few days ago that took a while to heal. Maybe it's that fawn that smells like moss? Bhuvana. Isetore came over and we played a bit. I was still a bit wary of him, he was a feline after-all, but he always seemed nice enough. I looked back to the little group to see Andor seeming a bit restless with Isetore near. Isetore seemed to try to get Andor to join, as the fawns had gotten up and began moving around. As it seemed like Andor was getting aggitated with Isetore's presence I moved over towards Bhuvana and Rose, Juuka was standing by the tree, but Rose began moving towards Andor. Isetore ran when Andor stomped his hooves against the ground, and was followed by Juuka. I followed behind to make sure Isetore was okay, but ran back when I heard Bhuvana call out. She was standing near the tree by herself, but as I came up, Rose and Andor were close behind. We all laid down again. Rose left us, running to Kestrel. Andor seemed to become uneasy again, watching Kes in the distance. I huffed and continued to lay with the tiny fawn, wondering how she heals others. Met Bruce. But didn't play with him all that much, still worried about the tension between Andor and Kes. 0zami came by and we began to play, running and jumping around, deciding it might be best to leave Andor near the tree to calm down. I heard Chizzu call out from where Rose and Kestrel were up on a hill and 0zami and I went to play with them. I haven't seen Chizzu in a while, so it was nice to see here again. She turned me blue again. What is up with her turning me blue? She laughed and started changing me different colors. 9-7-15 Woke up in the Blue Bowl and I swear something was laying next to me but couldn't find anything when I sifted through the growth. Huh. Went to the Ruins and saw Mandel and Jovan together at Mandel's home. Joined them and was given a bird skull necklace by Jovan. Nuzzled him as a thank you for the present. Rested with them. Was woken up by Kestrel and Rose approaching. Stepped down from the perch and greeted them, Kestrel greeted back and so did Rose but she seemed hesitant of my presence, which made me a bit sad. Tried to show her that I meant no harm. Kamaya appeared shortly after, but didn't pay me any mind. She greeted Mandel and then walked over to the graves and sat between them. Rose and I walked over to her, and I bowed to her. Nothing. I tried to distract Rose away from the unresponsive doe, even though she was most likely still unsure about me. Played around with the others. A deer came up to me and hopped around with me. We stayed near the Ruins but slowly made our way near one of the nearby flower beds. The other deer and I continued to hop around, while Mandel and Jovan laid down. Ran around the Forest with the deer and ended up back at the Ruins. Slept in the flower patch with the deer, Mandel, and Jovan. Monty and Dazenth arrived and we all gathered in the flower patch to chill. 8-25-14 Walked around the Forest fo a bit before deciding to rest in a dip in the ground near De Drinkplaats. Before I could actually lie down, SylvanRah, Isetore, and Hannelore ran up to me and invited me with them. Stayed with them for a while before running with a deer who's name I can not remember. We raced to the Playground and laid on the rocks. Laid there for a while before I got bored and ran around the playground. Was intercepted by a neat looking deer. Ran with them around the Forest and to the Twins. Saw the group I was with earlier there, now including Husky. Ran to them, the other deer in tow. Played with the group until everyone began to settle down. The deer I came with left. Husky wanted me to sit with her in the group. I wasn't sure if I fit in with them, yeah Hannelore and Isetore, whom I'm still a bit weary of, were there, but still. I sat next to her anyways and listened to the sounds around me. When Husky left I left the group and went back to the birch forest, going to sleep in the tall grass. Woke up to Andor trying to get away from a fawn. He over to me and I guess the fawn decided to leave him alone. He sat watching me until I got up and motioned him that it was fine. Sat there quietly with Andor on me. Andor got off of me and distanced himself when Jovan and Monty appeared. Jovan seemed a little surprised by the sight. Jovan told me he was leaving the Forest, but that he would be back later. I nuzzled him and cooed, wishing him the best of luck. Moved to another patch of tall grass because Andor was insistent. Watched Jovan and Monty in the distance, while Andor settled back down. Repeated the process of earlier, this time with Dazenth. Andor seemed to conteplate the dragon but ultimately decided to move again. Tugged at my fur until I got up and followed him. Found another spot with little grass and laid there a minute, before Dazenth, Isetore and Hiirni- Hiirni! -came along. Andor was upset but I haven't seen Hiirni in a long time. He left and sat at a big tree in the distance. Played with Hiirni, Dazenth, Jovan who brought Mandel, Monty, and Isetore. Hiirni left, coming back with Fly. Dazenth and I messed with him until resting with the group again. Hiirni had once again disappeared, but came back bringing Tau! Kestrel and his adoptive daughter came by at some point and rested on the outskirts of the play. Ran wild with Hiirni and Tau, joking and giving chase to one another, trying to catch up with each other to cast spells and running away from being spell casted. Everybody, besides Isetore and I, ended up leaving. Iset lead me to the Ruins, where Hannelore was sleeping in a sunspot. Laid down and fell asleep with the two. Woke up to see Iset talking to a beautiful stag named Sadiki. Ran around the Forest playing with Iset and later Sadiki and this other deer. 8-22-15 Spent the whole day at the Playground with Andor. Naomh came sometime later and laid on the rock in front of us. Got up and moved over next to her when Andor left, not expecting him to come back. To my surprise he comes back minutes later. Right as he jumped on the rock we had previously laid on, I gestured that he come near us. He jumped on the rock and sniffed Naomh, who had fallen asleep, before sitting a few paces away. Sat there with them and ended up falling asleep. Was awaken by a weight settling on me. I see Andor has moved and that Naomh is no longer there. I huff and go back to sleep. Was once again awaken, this time by close mooing. Really close mooing. Came back to to find Naomh, Urschanabi, SlyvanRah, Cu, Ozami, and Isetore all in front of me asking me to join them. I wasn't really up for play today, but why not? I gently got up, trying not to upset Andor too much with all my movement, and joined them for a bit. Danced, joked and jumped around with them until SylvanRah and Isetore fell asleep, that when I hopped back onto the rock that I was previously on and sat back down next to Andor, watching Naomh, Urschanabi, and Cu joke around. Cu ended up losing his pelt and when I went to the Twins to help him get it back, I ended up bringing back a fawn. They watched as I knelt down in front of the statue and followed me back to the Playground. They followed me back to the Twins, as my first attempt had failed, and knelt down themselves. Raced back to the Playground and ended up accidentally casting the spell on Naomh. Oops. Cu decided to go do it himself. Urschanabi and Naomh soon left, right as Alanthea appeared. Watched the fawn play with Alanthea, SylvanRah and Isetore until they left. 8-20-15 Was greeted early in the morning by Mandel and L-5. Hey, L-5 is back! This is cause for a celebration. We jumped around and was crossed by a frog and dove. We played with them for a bit before they hopped/flew off. We settled down and I ended up falling asleep. Later woke up alone. Walked towards the Pond. When I was coming up to the Crying Idol I noticed Mandel there with a two other deer- one with a secretary pelt and the other with nothing- and a fawn. The one with the Secretary pelt was the first to notice me. Just as I was settling down they got up from where they were sitting and turned to me before laying down again. Mandel and the fawn were the next to notice my presence. The fawn got up and moved away, while Mandel got up and nuzzled me. He later tells me the fawn is Kestrel and Kamaya's adopted. The secretary deer, Husky, and I played around the stream racing and jumping around, sometimes being joined by Moldvin and the fawn. Tired from all the play, I fall asleep with Husky by my side, with Mandel coming and going. Wake up to find that it's just Husky and I left. We race through the Forest, going through the Blue Bowl to see the fawn, Moldvin and Kestral there. Didn't stay too long there. Somehow we ended up at the Ruins, Moldvin right behind us. Did he follow us all the way here? The three of us hopped around for a bit before sitting in a sunspot near the Ruins. Mandel soon arrives and sits with us. Moved to inside the Ruins and found a sleeping dove. Laid next it as Monty and Sirius joined us. Just as Sirius disappeared somewhere, Jovan joined us. Goofed around the Ruins for a bit before once again settling down. Mandel left, saying he had to go. Smelled Mark quite aways from the Ruins. Ran towards the scent but didn't see him anywhere. What's going on? Sat down next to a tree, followed by Husky and Jovan and Monty, who seemed unable to settle again. A raven came flew down from the tree and flew around us. It took me a while to realize that the raven was Mark. Hah, brilliant. Played with Monty and Mark and soon Alanthea, SylvanRah, and Hannalore joined us. Had to say goodbye to them as I was getting tired. Didn't know that was the last time I would see Mark. 8-16-15 Messed around with Andor for a while, but he ran off when Dazenth and Mandel came along with a little fawn in tow. Oh well. Hung with Dazenth and Mandel at the pond for a while. Dazenth had to leave.Chizzu soon appeared, bringing along Shikatori. Played with them for a while before taking a nap. Woke up alone. Walked around a bit before coming to Donovan, Fly, Mandel and Taksony sleeping. Was greeted by Chizzu and a raven. Something seemed to be wrong with Chizzu but I don't know what. She was just staring at me. Jumped around with her and the raven before going to sit next to Donovan, who was now awake. Oh hey, brother. Taksony moved away from everybody to a tree. Okay grumpy fur. Jumped around with Fly, Kestrel, Mandel and Donovan. Got tired again and laid in the periwinkles. Something's gone wrong with my vision, it's becoming blurry. Was soon joined by Mandel and Donovan, who soon ran off somewhere. Came back and I laid on top of them both. Donovan sat up, knocking me off of him and Mandel. Brother, why. Said he had to go and left. He's been leaving very abruptly recently. Was joined by Jovan and Mistic. Mandel and Mistic ended up leaving a while and Jovan and I raced through the whole forest before falling asleep. 8-14-15 Party at HIM! It was a blast! 8-13-15 Spent the early morning with Kamaya by the Crying Idol. Was asleep when I felt another presence at my side. Woke up to see Mandel. Hey, Mandel's back! As the three of us relaxed, others, such as Jen, Jovan and Donovan, started coming up and joining us. It was a great time with friends. 8-12-15 Stayed the whole day hanging with Jen at the Pond, doing nothing but listening to the frogs croak and the water ripple. 8-6-15 Stayed alongside Chizzu for the day. We stayed by the Crying Idol in the early morning until Kestrel came along, bringing along what he said was is daughter, Natasha. She didn't seem to want to be around us, Kestrel said she had been going through an anti-social mood as of late. Chizzu and I didn't think much about as we played near them, all four of us making our way to the border of the two forests. My pelt was spell casted and became blue. Chizzu did it again, but all it did was turn a different shade of blue. She laughed and said that's not what she was trying to do, but that it must be the wish of the gods wanting me to be blue. Hydra came along and sat near Kestrel and Natasha, seeming to be close the doe. A strange transparent stag, Moldvin, soon joined us and hopped along with us, but seemed unable to stay in one place at the time as he walked away from us before returning a while after. Rested with everybody with burst of jumping around with Chizzu in between. How did Kestrel get a daughter like this (turns out she's adopted)? She seemed very unforgiving towards strangers. She seemed to want to attack Chizzu when she laid near her. When they both got up, I got up as well and moved to block her view of Chizzu when it seemed like she was actually going to. When everything had calmed down this stranger suddenly appears and begins to wreck havoc by casting spells on everybody. Losing sight of Kestrel, Hydra, Natasha and Moldvin, I escape with Chizzu back to the Crying Idol. We sit there in silence, once again enjoying each other's company and the sound of the water. After a while has passed since Chizzu left, I heard Bambi's call near the Pond and decided to see what he was up to. Found him with Donovan, Alanthea and a fawn. Played with Donovan in the Pond, splashing him as he took a drink. Splashed each other for a while before I got preoccupied with another deer. Stood with the stranger until I heard Donovan calling out. I mooed back before seeing the stranger off and running towards where the call came from. Saw that the group had found Mark, along with a fawn, near the Crying Idol. Everybody got a red pelt! We danced around the Crying Idol before deciding to lay down, Kestrel as a raven arriving just in time. Fell asleep with everybody. Woke up and played, washing of the pelt- along with other debris- from my fur. It's gone back to Koi. Jumped out of the stream and landed next to Alanthea, shook the water off spraying her with it. Somehow we all ended back near the Pond. We played there for a bit more before Donovan ended up leaving and Bambi running off with a fawn. I relaxed with Alanthea and Mark until I fell asleep. 8-5-15 Hung/played around with Donovan, SylvanRah, Alanthea, Doves, Bambi (deerloser), and a couple of other deer. Saw a strange rock looking thing in the distance. Went to inspect it and it seemed to have a formation that sort of resembled half a deer head, it only having ears and the beginnings of the head. Though it did not seem to move or breath, he could feel life coming from it. He sat down next to it, minding the sharp spikes coming from the thing, and watched as the others danced and played. 8-3-15 Woke up and walked around a bit. Caught the scent of something sweet telling me Kamaya close. Walked up to her and saw Tau sleeping next to her. Stepped over to Kamaya and nuzzled her. It's been so long since I've seen the two of them. We hopped around a bit then laid near Tau. Kamaya gave me a poppy crown that she told me that she had been holding onto for a while just for me. That's really sweet of her. Once Tau woke up he and I ran and jumped in, what I now know is called, the Blue Bowl. We were soon joined by Kamaya and two strangers, a full grown deer and a fawn. It was a real blast! As deer left and others calmed down, we were approached by another deer that Kamaya seemed to know. Kamaya introduced the other as Ethale. They seemed pretty nice. Just as Tau left, I caught the scent of Lavender. Of Alanthea! I haven't seen her in awhile- well, I have but she was in deep sleep those two times. Just to make sure she wasn't this time I called out to her. A few moments later I heard her call back. I gestured to Kamaya that I will find her again later and ran towards Alanthea. It turns out she was heading my way as well, we almost crashed into each other. Goofed around as we circled the pond. Saw Ta'vha underwater. Went to the Crying Idol to wash off the dirt and blueberry mush that stuck to me. When I jumped onto the bank I saw SylvanRah in the distance and raced with Alanthea towards them. Smelled Kamaya back at the Pond and ran to her, followed by SylvanRah and Alanthea. We ran and jumped around for a bit more before we settled down. I was tired now. 7-8-15 Woke up and finally felt I had the energy to do something other than sleep all day. Walked over to the Twins and saw Hiirni there. They must have been in deep thought because they didn't notice when I greeted them. Left them to their own devices and played around the Twins with Meldil Ka'Mora, a very aged stag though he doesn't look it, and a bigger than normal squirrel. A while later, while resting with Meldil, Hiirni noticed I was there. Hiirni and I jumped and ran around, joined by a deer whose name I could not catch. Another deer that went by the name Blaze soon joined us as well. We raced to the Pond and played in it for a while before casting spells on each other, changing our antlers. Smelt a hint of something sweet hit the air, looked over to see Jovan. Hello friend! Haven't seen you in a while. Played a little bit more before Hiirni and Blaze had to leave. +Ran towards the Old Oak because I thought I sensed Saivae there. Turned out to be Paranoik. Jovan, the deer whose name I did not know, and I rested behind the Old Oak before the other had to leave. While I was saying goodbye to the spotted deer I saw Urschanabi sleeping on the other side of the Oak. Was soon greeted by someone who must have been Jovan's friend, they seemed really close. Once Urschanabi woke up I ran over to greet him, keeping an eye on Jovan and his maybe-friend. After a moment of returning the greeting he ran off, but soon came back, followed closely by Aki. Sat down with Jovan as we watched the others jump around. He didn't seem to be all that much in a playing mood... Got lost in thought for a few minutes and when I came back I noticed we were surrounded by a lot of deer. Saw Donovan at the edge of the group and went up to him to greet him. At one point there was a giant dancing deer circle. When some of the deer left we began running around chasing each other. We some how ended back at the Old Oak and rested there. Donovan, Aki, and Urschanabi all left after a while, leaving Jovan and I resting in the Old Oak. 7-7-15 Today is really hot. Moved from my sleeping spot at the Ruins to the Pond to cool down. 7-6-15 Been doing nothing but sleeping and laying around for the past few days. Occasionally moving to different places to sleep. 6-18-15 I'm really starting to worry about Mandel, I haven't seen him for days. I don't think the others have seen him all that much either. I walked around the forest aimlessly and caught sight of Lem. Laid near him and waited for him to wake up. Kamaya ended up finding me a few moments later. She looks better than when I last saw her; not to mention a bit tinier. In the good way, of course. We nuzzled and continued to sit. Alanthea found us. I hadn't noticed her until she was trying to stay on top of the rock I was near. We nuzzled before the three of us began to hop around and dance a bit. After that we rested. 6-16-15 Found Alanthea- well she found me. It was really nice to see her again. We spent the whole day lounging at the Playground. Jen and Caesar ended up joining us later in the day. 6-14-15 Woke up and walked away from the Ruins. Saw Alanthea, SylvanRah, Jen, and another deer hanging out. Went up to them and greet them but get nothing in reply. It seemed like the three of them saw me a few times at different times, but I wasn't really sure since there was no word or gesture directed to me. Ran to the Twins and saw Reykat up and walking around. Tried to get her attention, walking down the hill beside her as she listened for others, but she didn't seem to see me either. Not again! Went back up the hill to the Twins and sat near them asking why this kept happening. Rested there before getting up to run around a bit. It's quite boring when others can't see or hear you. Passed by Andor at the Crying Idol. He also didn't notice me, but I wasn't sure if that was because that he couldn't or the lack of wanting to. How would he react if he did? Laid there in the red flowers and fell asleep. 6-10-15 Went to the Twins because I smelt orange fruit- Hiirni- but I didn't see the orange happy deer anywhere. There was only the giant cat lady and another deer. A fawn named Bleed came up and spent some time with me. Miv came racing up to us. Played with her and the fawn. Some time later Hiirni came out of hiding and appeared as a bat. Oh that's why I couldn't find them. Played with Bleed, Miv, and Hiirni at the pond. The fawn ran off somewhere. Hiirni, Miv, and I jumped around the forest, being joined by another deer. It was a nice day. 6-9-15 Sat with Tullum as he talked about the Forest and the quiet morning. Was joined by Damon, a deer that the big guy calls brother. Tullum had once told me that I remind him of the guy. Don't really see how, but okay, he's a nice guy so that's fine. 6-7-15 Woke up near the Twins. How did I get here? Was instantly greeted by SylvanRah and a couple of other deer. Wow, crowded. Had a hard time fully waking up, so I sat for a while. Once ready I helped a deer get the antlers they wanted then followed SylvanRah and the others to the Ruins. Danced and jumped there for a while before the deer asked me to help with their pelt. As I helped them a Koi pelt stuck to me. Uh... I guess it doesn't look all that bad on me. Yasen sure can pull it off. After they got the pelt they wanted we napped in a mushroom circle. They got turned into a mini and I got turned into a frog. Hopped to the pond where the other deer told me they had to leave. Said goodbye and sneezed the frog spell off. The Koi pelt was still on. This is like that time I was turned into a mini. Saw Mandel and Mack playing with another deer, Miv, on the other side of the pond. Ran over to them and joined in their play. Accidentally turned Mack into a mini. After a while I settled down, followed by Mandel. It took a while for Miv to join. Urschanabi appeared and laid near me. Got up and greeted him, as he seemed to laugh at my new look. He's the one that's suppose to be the fish. Mandel, Miv and I played with him a bit, before he ran off. He later came back with Cu. Played some more before settling down to rest again. Mandel left a while after. When Mandel left the other two invited me to run with them. We ran around the pond and met a group of deer. Met LadyTear among them. Sat with LadyTear when I lost sight of Cu and Urschanabi. 6-5-15 Ran to the Ruins and rested in the small poppy patch. Not sure if I'm still invisible today; a fawn passed by me without giving me a look. They were probably ignoring me though. Mandel walked up to me looking all happy and asked where I had been. Not sure if I should tell him that I was here the whole time but was invisible. Shook my head and he let it slid. We jumped for a while before resting on the rock slab. Mandel disappeared all of a sudden-- wow, um, hope he's okay--, and Tullum found me. Ran around the forest with him. Stopped at the Playground and was joined by another deer, who apparently had followed us all the way from the pond. Huh. They joined us as we did a couple of laps around the forest. Mandel found us near the Crying Idol. Many deer and fawns found and joined us there. Finally learned the deer that I usually see with Urschinabi. Her name's Naomi. Also among those deer was Gladogar, Nutai and SylvanRah. 5-31-15 I was invisible again today. What happened to others seeing me the day before? Apparently this was going to last a while. Sat at the Twin Idol and slept. 5-30-15 Ran through the forest and spotted SylvanRah and another deer. ... and they greeted back! Okay, not invisible today. Awesome. Jumped and played with them for a while. Ran up to Sirius and Mest, that deer that gave me the red flowers a few days ago. Joined in playing with them as well. Two large ravens appeared, then flew off as quickly as they came. Soon after one of them came back and walked around everyone. It walked behind me and pecked at my tail. Hey! It laughed and flew around in circles. Ended up running with the huge raven to the Playground. Rested there with the bird before I got up and tried to slid down the rock like Lem showed me. The raven joined in the sliding after watching me. Went to the Twins, were the other huge raven had waited, and had a dance party with Mack, the two ravens, Reykat (sort of), and a couple of other deer. It was a great way to end the day. 5-29-15 I woke up were Sirius usually sits. No one was there. I walk around the Ruins for a bit before I hear Mandel and Saivae playing in the distance. I trot over to them and see them in a mushroom circle. I greet them, but they didn't seem to notice me. I stayed with them for a while, trying different methods to get them to notice I'm there. Touching them, calling to them, nothing seemed to work. For a short minute it seemed that Saivae noticed me... turned out they were listening to the other calls. I ran through the forest to see if any other deer or creature noticed me. None. Apparently I was invisible to everybody today. This is not the first time it has happened. I traveled back to the Ruins and laid on the slab of rock, huffing. This was not going to be fun. 5-27-15 Saw Mandel sleeping away from the Ruins. Sat near him until he woke up. We hopped around the forest, jumping between the pine forest and birch forest. Rested when we got back to the Ruins, but after two days of mostly sleeping I wanted to run more. Hannelore came up to me and invited me to play again. I nodded but gestured that we had to stay near the Ruins, I wanted to keep an eye on Mandel. Ran around with her around the Ruins. Greeted another deer that was obviously a friend of hers. Hesitated a bit when they ran off to Sirius. I wanted to see him again, but it was a bit too far from the Ruins then I liked. That's when Tullum ran up to me. Oh, hello there big friend! He joined into the fun, jumping around with me as the others talked to Sirius and his company. Hannelore alternated with jumping with us and running back to Sirius. When I went to check Mandel again, he was gone. I hope he didn't think I just left him there. Tullum came rushing after me and we began to play again. But I couldn't help but think about Mandel. Hannelore came back to us right as Tullum was leaving. Ran with her to the others and joined them. One by one, everyone began to settle down. One of the deer, a skull-faced one, gave me red flowers. 5-26-15 Met Nutai. Played with him a bit and soon Mandel joined. The two seemed a little down for some reason. Tried to cheer them up by hopping around them and playing with them. Seemed to work a little bit, but I quickly got tired. This is the second day of me going to sleep for most of the day. I said my goodbye to Mandel and Nutai before going of to some place to sleep. 5-25-14 Saw none of the gang around. Went to the Twin Statue and hanged around there for a while. That big feline lady, Reykat, woke up. Walked up to me and sniffed me before going back to sleep at the statue. Stayed there a while more before leaving. Tired, I went to the ruins and fell asleep. 5-24-15 Woke up at the pond and spotted Alanthea and Tau sleeping on the other side. Walked over there and joined them. Lem came by with another deer. Played with the other deer as Lem seemed to visit everydeer at the pond, which seemed to grow every minute. Alanthea and Tau woke up and Hiirni, seeming to come from nowhere and as a mini, appeared so we, as usual, began to to mess around. Mandel soon arrived. He still looked a little out of it as the others tried to play with him, but he just didn't join in. He looked like he didn't really know what to do, so I sat down and he joined me right away. The others soon settled down and joined us. Well, everyone besides the mini deers. I swear they're like goats, jumping on everyone. Took a run around the forest and saw Jennie, Ben, and Lem together. Jennie saw me first and greeted me and invited me to join them. Played with them for hours before settling down with them and falling asleep. Woke up and ran off to the Ruins. Met Hannelore and ran with her for a bit before they left. Traveled to the Playground and was greeted by Tau and Saivae. Playing at the Playground with them was a nice way to end the day. 5-23-15 Woke up at the pond and decided to bathe. Headed to the Ruins after and noticed two things. 1) Sanno wasn't in the cage anymore. 2)Urschanabi was a ways with sleeping company, a deer I always see him with but have never gotten the name of. I walk over to them and greeted the other deer before laying on the other side of Urschanabi. Lem and Elder Raven came over. Stared at the huge raven before Lem reared up, asking me to run with him. Started messing around with Lem and the deer with the magpie pelt joined us after a few moments. Elder Raven ended up flying off and Urch disappeared. The three of us continued to run and play fight and messing around the Ruins. Hours later, the magpie pelt deer had to leave. We were sad to see them go. Lem and I continued to run through the forest, tackling each other. Once back at the Ruins, I saw Jen standing next to the big idol and invited her to join us, she accepted. Running, dancing, and tackling each other as we left the Ruins, we met another deer-- skull-faced. Jen seemed reluctant to join then so I stood by her as I watched the other two play. Ended up falling asleep Woke and noticed I was alone. Walked to the pond and saw Lem again. He was sitting with small dove. Told me to sit with him. As I sat there with a now sleeping Lem, I noticed Sanno across the pond, sleeping. Mandel came over. He looked sad. He told me that L-5 was gone, that he had finally found his way out of the Forest. Good for him. He will be missed. Let Mandel lean on me, trying to comfort him. Although I was sad to hear this, I knew it broke Mandel more. He had known him longer and declared him as his bro. Don't know how long we just sat there, just silently comforting each other, but when Mandel left I went straight to the Twins and prayed. Didn't know he blamed them for the event. Sat near Sanno... Something was definitely up with him. He didn't seem like himself. Was he even still alive? The body didn't seem to move and his picto didn't seem to mean anything anymore. Mandel came back and sat near me. I didn't ask him anything of it, keeping the thoughts in the back of my mind; he already had too much to deal with today. SylvanRah joined us. They seemed to wonder about Sanno as well but didn't seem outwardly worried about him. Soon Flyleaf was also there sitting with us. 5-22-15 Spent the morning with SylvanRah and the evening roughing it up with Jen and Ben. I've been more accepting to hanging out with Jennie ever since I saw the fungi covered fawn. I'm still a bit wary of her, but over-all she seems nice. Later woke up alone. Headed to the Ruins and saw that someone had turned Sanno into a frog. I dear. He still seems to be asleep though, so most likely hadn't noticed. Sat there for a while before heading to the pond. Fly and SylvanRah ran up to me greeted me. Joined them, along with Alanthea, Jennie, and another deer.Sat for a while with them before getting up and joining the other deer in jumping around. Jumped to the pond. The other deer seemed afraid of the water, but got in and laughed. After some time they had to leave. Not long after SylvanRah joined me and we played in the pond more. As we headed back we saw that Fly was leaving. Alanthea joined our running. Got tired and sat near Jennie, I was becoming okay with her. Woke up to her gone and the other two sleeping. Went back to sleep. 5-20-15 Watched over Sanno for three days. Although I did not know the old stag all that much, I could tell something was wrong with him. But the thing is, I don't know what it is. Stayed near him until Star, a deer I've seen a few times before and had an almost instant friendship with, ran up and invited me to play. My wounds were still healing but they weren't as bad as before so I joined. Ran and jumped before heading to the nearby mushroom circle and become half our original size. We then ran to the Crying Idol so Star could have their red pelt back. I accidentally fell in and got my pelt all red as well. That's fine, I can just sneeze it off later. Ran and jumped around the pond with Star and met a few other deer. Star disappeared to somewhere at one point, and I began to settle down, when another red deer walked up to me and laid next to me. I was a bit unsettled with this deer, but they wanted me to follow them. Eh, last time I did that with someone I didn't know that well I got attacked. I ended up not being attacked, instead just being very unsettled by the other. Luckily, I smelled Mandel not that far away. Ran up to him and walked by his side until he noticed me. I don't think he realized it was me at first. Tried to turn back to normal but found that it was not as easy as turning back from a raven or squirrel. Also found out that it was not all that simple getting my pelt back to normal, but Mandel and Star had helped me get it back. Slept with the two of them in a pile of periwinkles after another session of running and jumping. Woke up much later without the two of them and walked over to the Ruins. Saw Sanno still in the cage and resumed my watch over him. What ever he is going through, I hope he get's out of it safely. 5-18-15 Woke up at the Ruins with sore muscles and stinging bite wounds. I guess I shouldn't have played after I had gotten bitten. Walked to the Cry Idol to bathe and possibly clean the wounds. They told me I should do that if I were to get a wound again; that it would help the healing. Once done with that I walked over to the blue bonnet field. That place is becoming one of my favorite places. 5-17-15 First ting I saw when I woke up was Kamaya and Mandel, who was asleep, laying in a mushroom circle. Walked over to them and sat with them. Mandel turned me into a squirrel when he woke up. Things definitely look different when you're this small. After turning back to normal and getting a bit more rest, we began Mandel's morning run. Saw a group of dancing deer near the Ruins. Wanted to join in but continued to run with Mandel and Kamaya. Some time during the run Kamaya had to leave. Ran to the playground. Saw a green dragon (Faramond) at the playground. Almost didn't see him, he looked like part of the tall grass there. When Mandle and I said hi, he walked away without a word, laid on the stag and fell asleep. Jen was at the playground and Mandel went to go say hi. I watched her. After Mandel finished talking to Jen, he lead me to the tree circle with the blue bonnets. Ran, jumped and rolled in the flowers as he slept. Took a long time for me to figure we weren't the only ones there and to notice Kettu hiding, but she ran away when she noticed I had noticed her. After that I sat near Mandel while he slept. He ended up having to leave when he woke. Went to the Ruins and saw Sanno sleeping in the cage. Wondered why he would choose to sleep there before deciding to sit next to him, but saw Andor was sleeping curled up next to him. Eh... Decided to sit next to him anyways. +Thought about ..... When I came to I noticed Andor had woken and was now staring at me. I guess I should leave now... Moved to the rock slab and laid there but ended up being followed by Andor, who sniffed all over me, again. The whole interaction with him was weird, okay. Got bitten by him again. Seriously. Just healed from last times bite fest. Andor disappeared for a while after that and Lem, thankfully without his weird followers, called me over from his perch on top of the destroyed stairwell. Hopped over there and danced with Lem. The bites hurt, but not all that much at the moment. Andor came back and watched me. Not sure if Lem knew what was going on between us or what. Not even sure if I really know. Accidentally changed Lem's pelt, making his look similar to mine. Andor walked to the Old Oak. Lem followed him and I followed Lem, because, well, I was having fun with the guy. Andor ended up running somewhere, possibly back to Sanno. Whatever. Lem and I ran through the forest looking like doubles. Ended up at the Playground. Jen was still there. We seemed to freak her our a bit because she stared at us the whole time was she realized we were there. Vala came by for a short time.Danced again for a while, making Jen and others stare even more, before Lem left. Not long after he left another deer walked up to me. We had a spell war. After that I ended up relaxing by myself at the Ruins for a while before deciding to head to the tree circle again. Fell asleep there and woke up to red flowers in my face. Huh? Looked harder and found that it was Hiirni sleeping near me. Quickly fell back to sleep. 5-11-15 Slept behind the Ruins' wall to try to get away from a few deer. Woke up later and heard SylvanRah calling. I mooed back and headed in the direction I heard the call from. Saw them with another deer and hesitated for minute to join them, but SylvanRah ended up seeing me and running over. The three of us ran back to the Ruins and played there. The other deer ended up leaving at some point, but was replaced by Sanno. Played with Sanno and SylvanRah until the older stag left. SylvanRah and I decided it was a good time to nap. Woke up later on in the day to Mandel's call. Got up and greeted him, but he didn't seem all that up to play. Though he does try. That's okay, rest. Continued to play with Sylvan and any other deer that joins until everyone is gone. Headed back to Mandel, who was still sleeping, and laid down with him. 5-10-15 Deer pile with Mandel, Hiirni, SylvanRah, and no personal space. Cozy. 5-9-15 (This is a long one) Woke up to early morning with Mandel and Emilia standing over me. Mandel looked sad and I was about to ask him why when I actually looked at him. His pelt was different. Emilia ran off and I 'told' him I would help try to get it back to normal. I couldn't seem to get it right and I was about to give it one more shot, when a stag named Mandarin- excuse me, Manda- came out of nowhere and gave Mandel his original color back. He disappeared shortly after that and Mandel and I sat down. We were soon greeted by a stranger that began to nuzzle us. I always find it strange when a stranger just walks up to me and begins nuzzling me, but I never turn them down. Always up for nice nuzzles. Sanno soon walked up to us, possibly due to the stranger's calling. I tried hopping around with the three of them but I was still tired and not in the mood to hop. It seems Mandel understood and headed to the spot I had slept in. He laid there with me and I quickly drifted back off. I woke shortly, missing the heat that was no longer by my side. Looked around and saw him on one of the Ruin's broken walls with Sanno. I got up and slowly walked over there, wanting to see what was going on. Sanno stopped playing and sat down, we laid near him as he began telling a story. We got surrounded by Lem and what seemed like his weird army. Still half asleep and not prepared for this, I got nervous of the sudden too much company and hid behind Mandel. He didn't seem to understand and walked away. Help! Ran behind the Ruin's wall and was soon joined by Sanno. He's okay, I guess. Came out behind the wall to try and greet them, but I got nervous again and hid in the corner by the east graves. Sanno ended up leaving at some point, but he came back after a while and began bowing to the graves, talking. Watched him for a while before decided to see if I could join, since Mandel ended up falling asleep. I was allowed. Mandel woke and I accompanied him on his morning run around the forest when I had finished with Sanno and his ritual. We saw Kamaya and said a quick hello before continuing run. We stopped at the pond and played in the water a bit before heading to the Old Oak to sleep more. It's still to early. The dreams.... Four green eyes staring back. They seem familiar... Woke up and played while heading to the Playground. At the Playground we ended up falling asleep again. Woke up again much later surrounded by SylvanRah and a fawn I have played with a few times. Mandel was still sleeping. More deer came by and we ended up having a dance party on the 'stage'. SylvanRah ended up having to leave and the party ended a bit after. I played with the fawn that had decided to stay behind. When we were resting after having a great play session, I saw L-5 watching in the distance. He must have noticed me notice him as he walked over to us and sat. Mandel was still sleeping. I'm beginning to worry. When Mandel finally woke he said he had to leave. That's okay. I hope he's okay. The little fawn left too. Ended the day running and playing Hide n' Seek in the birch forest with L-5. 5-4-15 I woke up to it snowing. Traveled to the pond for a drink. Seemed to be the place of the day or something. A lot of deer were gathered there. Saw Andor and ran around with him before being joined by Urschanabi. Andor ran away after a while. Oh well. Spent the morning with Urschanabi. Mandel arrived later on and was turned into a raven. He began to panic. I tried to calm him down and help him turn back, but I don't think it helped. He stayed like that for a few minutes before turning back. The rest of the day was spent relaxing. 5-1-15 Found Alanthea, Hiirni, Mandel and a doe named Emilia sleeping around the big idol at the back of the Ruins and joined them. Mandel was the first to wake up and notice me. We greeted each other with a nuzzle. Hiirni was the second to wake and greet me minutes later. They both soon went back to sleeping with me joining them. I felt like I was being watched as I slept. The sound of running hooves nearby woke me up. Coming back into consciousness I see Andor being chased off by a deer. I wonder what he had done to have that action addressed to him (lagging connection). I stayed awake and watched him. Just because I find him interesting doesn't mean I trust him. He did after-all bite me yesterday. Urschanabi and this buck named Aki-- who, although smells like pine needles and lilac, has a hint of something other worldly in their scent-- ran up to us and asked me to play, Mandel and Hiirni still asleep and Alanthea nowhere to be found. I nodded, got up and joined them, sticking close to the sleeping duo and watching Andor. Mandel awoke and joined in the playing. Somewhere during this I lost consciousness (lost Internet connection). When I woke up again, I saw Mandel and Hiirni, appearing as Mandel, once again asleep near the idol. I laid there with them, waiting for them to wake up. When they did, we jumped around until I had to go. 4-30-15 Woke up near the pond's edge, which I do not remember falling asleep near. Oh well, it's a nice day to take a dip. After my time in the pond I go to the Ruins and see Tullum resting on the large slab of rock. I hesitate for a while before joining the giant. After a while I get restless- must be the result of the lazy day yesterday- and decide to walk. Wandered aimlessly through the woods when I decided to rest at the Playground. Rested peacefully there until Andor jumped up on the rock I rested on and began to sniff me repeatedly. I began to wonder if he remembered me from the attack, when I felt a sharp pinch to my side. Did he just bite me? I don't understand this guy, but I do find him interesting. He soon runs off and I decide to do the same, going for a run in the tall grass. As I enjoy my run, I again see Andor, this time running with a canine named Gyros. I watch them run for a while before continuing my own running. I soon make it back to the Ruins too see Tullum still sleeping. Once again, I lay next to him. He ended up waking up sooner than I thought he would and invited me to run with him, which I agreed to. An hour later we stop at the bluebonnet field and rested there. It turns out the giant doesn't get Andor either. 4-29-15 Spent the early morning sleeping, cuddled up with Mandel. There were a few other unknown deer who came up to drape over me and slept for a while before running off. L-5 joined us a long time after. The 'dreams' aren't as bad when next to them. The next time I woke I was alone. I looked up to see Mandel limping around. Oh right, his leg is injured. He headed back to me when he saw me get up and stretch. Hmm, I hope he doesn't think I'm not letting him go anywhere and making him stay with me. He could leave anytime. We met up with Alanthea after waking up, once again, and danced a little. I think Mandel's foot is getting a bit better. Ended up resting in a periwinkle patch. It's still to early. We ended up just making this a lazy day and taking it easy. 4-28-15 Today we celebrated Mandel's- what did they call it? Oh!- coming of age. It was great. So many deer there. We all danced and cheered for him, I think besides Jennie. Yeah, she was there, but I didn't mind, this was after-all for Mandel. They made a tower of dancing deer! Which I was a little bit reluctant to join and confused on how I would do that. But it was really entertaining to watch. I had to leave a while after, so I wished them a good day and left. I heard they had a, um, after party later on that day. 4-26-15 Woke up and felt Mandel's presence near right away. I walked over to him and asked if I could join him and he agreed. We ran and jumped for a what seemed like an hour before resting in a periwinkle patch near the Old Oak. I must have zoned out because what seemed like the next minute, I was surrounded by a group of deer, one of which was Hiirni. They joined us as we rested. Suddenly, I noticed the presence of Jovan near. I got up, motioned to the others that I would be back, and went to go say hi. He was leaving the Old Oak when I greeted him, but he must not be in the mood to play today since he walked away without a second look. Okay then. I felt a little down after that, but before I could get too deep Mandel, followed by Hiirni and the others, came over and cheered me up. We started up playing again and somehow made it to the ruins. By then two more deer, one with an owl face, and Jovan had joined us. Jovan seemed a little reluctant to join but he ended up joining as we all layed down. I was squished between two deer, but it was nice. Well, it was before I saw Hiirni sitting aways from everybody. From what I know of them, which isn't all that much I admit, that's a bit unusual. Jovan ended up dissapearing off to somewhere and the owl deer must have become restless, because he began running back and forth. Hiirni left soon after. I went for a little run away from the Ruins, but when I came back Mandel was nowhere to be seen. I couldn't rest near the grave that I usually did, Jennie was there and she scares me a bit. I've never officially met her so I know it's wrong of me to think that but I can't help it. So I headed to the back of the Ruins where the Idols sat and curled around the big one. I'm beginning to feel down again. Maybe it's because I'm alone now and I have nothing to distract me. I've been having these weird dreams... nightmares... only, they seem more than that. I stood up and shook the thoughts from my head. I needed a distraction. I was about to go over to Jennie and actually try to get to know her, when something drew me to the birch forest. I saw Alanthea there and she asked me to sit with her, which I agreed to. She ended up falling asleep a few times. I hope she's okay and not sick, but maybe that's just something fawns do. I watched over her as she slept, watching the small birds fly from birch tree to birch tree picking at the bugs. After a while a began to get tired and fell asleep with her. 4-25-15 I've been very sluggish and numb for a while but I had a chance of hanging around a few interesting deer lately. There's Alanthea, Druid, SylvanRah, Urschanabi, Mandel, and this buck who's picto I couldn't read, but I believe he called himself 'Sir Awesome'. That one seemed to find me no matter where I was, which I didn't mind. He was good company. Also, I finally found out the name of that one deer with the red flowers hanging from its antlers. It's Hiirni. Interesting name, I say. Along with that I was introdced to their friend Tau. Those two are quite a pair. There was a lot of crazy dance parties this week, though that might be thanks to Alanthea. I don't know what it is, but she has this way of making everybody around her join her in dance. It was wonderful to watch and to be a part of. I thank these deer for letting me join them and helping me out of my sluggish state. 4-11-15 Relaxed at the pond until a big raven (Lem) approached me. We played as we could and was shortly joined by Somnium. We played around until we came upon a mushroom circle and fell asleep. When we woke up, we casted transformation spells on each other. I was turned into a raven! Leaving the circle, flying alongside the big raven while the sparkly doe-turned-frog Somnium hopped below us, we met Jovan, a darkly colored stag with stars on his pelt. He was quick to join us as we played. Played around the ruin's for awhile before we settled near a tree and rested. When I had woken still a raven, I found Somnium had left. I went to go do a quick search for here before heading back to the tree where Jovan and the big raven still laid. I had to wonder if I was annoying the two any with my constant moving. But I didn't feel want to sit in one spot today, especially since I could fly now. I took a few steps away from them, getting ready to take flight, when the stag got up and walked over to me. I paused, not knowing what to do, before I began to fly off again, wanting to go to the birch forest. Jovan followed. This part of the forest had more open space than the pine forest and I could actually hide in the tall grass now. After some time hanging around in the birch forest, I felt like heading to the pond and cool off. Again, Jovan followed. Got to the pond and decided it was time to shake the spell off and change back into my normal body. Jovan seemed to stick closer to me after I did that. Heard hooves approaching as I took a drink, and when I looked up I saw that it was Somnium and that she had changed back to normal as well.The three of us messed around playing in the pond for a good amount of time. I was at first shocked and worried when I witnessed Somnium change into a sparkly blob in the pond, but she just laughed and continued on. The playing in the pond came to an end when Somnium had to leave, leaving me covered in glitter after a parting nuzzle. Well...that's going to take days to get out. With the two of us left, we take a trip back to the birch forest to the playground. A roll in the tall grass felt good after the play in the water. I was quickly becoming tired and felt that it was time to part ways. I gave the taller deer a nuzzle before leaving. 4-8-15 I guess the weirdness in the forest starts early. The day had started out peaceful, playing with a deer or two before leaving off to run through the tall grass that grows in the pine forest. But when I got to the Playground this fawn ran up to me and was followed by a smiling stag named Hallon. The fawn seemed to be trying to get away from the other for some reason. When I tried to greet him, I found out why. He was creepy. The fawn cowered and hid behind me when the stag tried to get close to them again. I backed away from him as well. He was laughing at us. Eventually he seemed to have gotten tired of us and left. The fawn came out of hiding and nuzzled me before taking off. After that whole encounter, I felt like I was being watched by a few eyes as I traveled through the forest and met a few deer. Now I'm once again at the Playground trying to calm down while enjoy the heat from the sun and rocks. 4-2-15 It started out as such a lovely day, I was playing with a couple of deer, casting spells on each other, dancing, and jumping around. Everything went down hill when I was making my way to the Ruins when I heard a scared cry. I stopped and watched as a very young fawn (Sethunya) was being chased and attacked by this weird, red canine creature (Andor). I run in between them to shield the fawn from any more of the others attacks, but he was fast and persistent. I shield the other as much as I can and start attacking him back. I've never attacked anyone for real, only in play. A couple of other deer come in and help me fend off the attacker. They leave once it seems that he has given up and left, but I stay with the fawn making sure she is alright and hoping that the attacker doesn't come back. A few moments later he comes back, once again attacking. As I am trying to attack this monster and shield the fawn, this stag named Elliot came over and shielded Sethuyna better than I could-- he is after all bigger than me. The canine/lizard thing left once again. As I lay near Sethuyna and Elliot, licking my wounds, I see the attacker watching us from a distance. I stand up as best as I can and turn to him, stomping my hooves. He walks over to me slowly, sniffs and rubs against me. He seems alright with me, which is strange, but I figure I could try to use this to my advantage. I try to lead him away from the other two. He follows me quite a distance before he catches what I am up to and starts heading back the other way. I race him back and lay in my previous spot, watching him. He just stares and circle us a few times before he finally gives up on leave. 3-26-15 Went to the pond to get a drink of water and found red marks coming from my eyes. I dunked my head in the water to try and wash it off, but it didn't come off. What is going on?This looks like the Long mask that some deer here wear. This couldn't be from the spell session I had a few days ago, could it? Those aren't suppose to last. With a huff, I left the pond and went to the Crying Idol. There, I saw this giant scaly creature wrapped around the idol, sleeping. Laid down on the side opposite of its head and listened to any signs that the idol was conscious. Nothing. I hope that its okay. The sleeping creature woke up a few moments later, unfurling from around the idol. I stayed still, watching it listen for others, before I decided to get up and greet myself. They didn't make any aggressive moves towards me, but it didn't seem like they really care about me being there. So I walked of to the pine forest and played in the tall grass there. Traveled towards the Old Oak a long while after, and saw this beautiful, purple fawn. She had yellow eyes and spots that seemed to glow. I sat with her for a bit, listening to the song of the Old Oak and enjoying the sun. 3-24-15 When I woke I saw a big bunny running shortly followed by two deer. That was quite a sight. Ventured down to the pond to get a drink. Met a few deer and we played around a bit. I then saw the same bunny and small deer I saw earlier. Went to the border of the pine forest and met a deer. Turned them into a squirrel. They didn't seem to mind. When I lied next to them, they crawled into my fur and stayed there for a great time, until I got up. I thanked the deer-squirrel for the company and headed towards the Crying Idol. I've been visiting the idol for a few days to try and comfort whatever spirit is in there. There must be one. Right? 3-23-15 I was sleeping at the pond's edge on the side of the Old Oak, so I could hear the sounds coming from it, when I heard a 'caw'. I woke up and-- big crow. There was a big crow on the other side of the pond. I walked over to get a closer look and noticed a smaller crow. Jumped around while they flew over head. The big crow disappeared at some point, leaving behind the smaller crow. I lied down, enjoying the company of the crow while resting. Sweet birds. 3-14-15 I have never seen this many deer in the Old Oak before. There are even a couple resting just on the outside of it. I guess that's what happens when it rains. Means I'll have to look for some other place for today. Not that there are many choices. Passed by the Playground, and the shelter there was filled as well. Well, it's not like the rain bothers me all that much; I don't get chilled like the others. Instead, my pelt is consistently heavy, making it harder to run and play. Not that too many seem to be in a playful mood while it's raining. Wonder when this rain is going to stop. There's a lot of deer at the Ruins as well, taking what little shelter it provides. While resting under a Weeping Willow-- not much of a shelter, but one of the only things available-- I came to the conclusion that the pond doesn't look all that appealing in this weather either. Found a couple of deer to run in the rain with. It was great. But after a while, my body was tired and heavy, so I decided to head back to the Ruins and listen to the idols until I fell asleep. 3-5-15 Hung out with a few deer this morning, jumping over the creek and in the pond, my wound not bothering me as much today. We had danced and laughed. We jump and walk around a frog and a dove that had suddenly appeared. After a while they transformed into deer. Ah, I recognize the one in the blue feathers, never could pronounce the name though. We played more, but then most of them left. Three of us left, we raced through the trees, stopping at the ruins, where one of the deer falls asleep. As I was playing around with the last remaining play-mate, we notice a dove and a bat watching us. The presence seems familiar. It turns out it was the two from before, back at the pond. They lead us to a mushroom ring and we rest with them in it. Some time passed and two of them got up and ran off, in the direction of the playground. I stayed behind with the one who had not gotten up from the ring- it seems they had fallen asleep-, before my urge to explore took over. There was another deer a few hoofs away, resting in a patch of red flowers. They have a skull face like mine. I walk over to them, sniffed and bowed to them. They got up and did the same. I wondered if they would mind if I sat with them. I know that even if some seem to welcome your presence, that doesn't mean they want you to sit next to them. It didn't seem like that was a problem with this stag- Sirius, he welcomed me fully. I was still a bit weary so I sat a bit aways. I must have zoned out for a bit since I didn't notice when Sirius moved to sit right next to me outside of the flowers. The rest of my day was spent with him until I fell asleep. It was really nice 3-3-15 Meet Moss and Ramen while I was trying to hide in the snow and get some rest. The little spirit started a game a chase that we all got into. It didn't last long though. This cougar (Namir) appeared, seeming on a hunt. He first targeted the older stag, and when he couldn't seem to get a hold of him, he turned his attacks on me, jumping on my back and sinking his claws in. I only got away thanks to Moss and his magic, immobilizing the feline's mouth from giving me a death bite. I don't think I like felines. So aggressive. I think I'm just going to stay by the ruins for a while and see if the spirits will help my wounds. 2-27-15 Rested in the red flowers near the Crying Idol today. I heard that there was a spirit resting in it. Couldn't really tell if that was true, didn't get any response, but the Crying Idol does have a powerful presence with it. As I was about to drift off to sleep, the sound of running hooves made their way to me. I looked up to see a deer that had a pelt that looked like a skeleton. They walked up to me and greeted me, so I decided to get up and return it. Right after that another deer appeared. Then another, jumping over the river. And then another. I was a overwhelmed by the sudden company, but greeted them, pleased. We all spent time running and jumping over the river. One by one, they left, until it was the deer with the skeleton pelt, a deer with stripes on their side, and me. We rested by the river's side, tired from the running around. They laid there with me for quite a while before they gave me neck nuzzles, bowed to me and left. I went back over to the Crying Idol and laid near it again. Minutes later I hear, once again, hear more hooves coming my way. This time I was bombarded by four fawns. They all stood in front of me, and silently watched me. I got up, bowed to them and sniffed them. Two of them returned the gesture. The other two had began to jump around and play. I don't think I'm equipped to fawn-sit, but they didn't seem to mind. They did follow me as I made my way to the ruins. When we all made it to the ruins, we met another deer there that danced and played with us in a mushroom ring. I end up falling asleep in the ring, tired from today's activity. 2-26-15 I met a herd today! They didn't seem to be the most active herd, but they were very nice. In the group I met Thais, Altijd, Severa, Lucos, Mika, and Grete, the doe I stumbled upon the other day, along with four others. Thais and a smaller deer played with me for a bit before settling down with the others. I decided to join them. It was nice. Most of them fell asleep, so I decided it was time to walk. Saw Moss and that big fish guy (Dedalus) with an odd group (Bzaër and Wendiga). Laying against a tree, I watched the group from afar. They all seemed really close with each other. That's nice. After watching them I went to the ruins, bypassing the graves to go to the idol. I had a long pleasant chat with the idol. I don't understand why they say it's a result of a bad soul. It seems really nice. I ended up falling asleep next to it. 2-24-15 Walked through the forest for a while, enjoying sun's rays while the forest was filled with snow. I passed by the Old Oak and rested near the ruins' graves as routine, and listened to the spirits. Nothing much was going on, it seemed. On my way to the pond, I notice a squirrel following me. I decide to stop and play around with it. After some time I decide to continue my way to the pond. It still decided to follow me. It was actually nice. At the pond, I notice that I was being followed by a second presence. It was a doe this time. I welcomed her, but she threatened me and then bowed. Huh. I wonder if she was offering to play? The squirrel and the doe soon left. I decided I spent enough time at the pond as well and headed out to the dry land, away from all the action. Spotted this doe with really lovely orange hair (Grete) sleeping. Like a lot of the residence here, she didn't seem to be just deer, but I couldn't tell what else she was. I lay next to her and snuggle. I hope she won't mind when she wakes. 2-20-15 Met the deer that I had had a spell war, er, magic practice with the other day. We ran around a bit and once again cast spells on eachother. After we had settled, we went to the Twin Gods and prayed. Running around the pond with the glow of the Gods, I spotted Yasen- I seem to be seeing a lot of him recently- sleeping near the pond's edge. I continued running with the other deer, jumping over the river and running around trees. They then left me, after a few choice actions that left me confused. I walked back over to where Yasen was sleeping and laid next to him. After a few silent moments I see this giant guy (Dedalus) walking over to us. I had seen him resting under one of the willows off to the side. He seemed calm enough but it made me a bit nervous that such a huge creature was coming up to me. He sat to the other side of Yasen and didn't really say much. We just laid there listening to the sound of frogs and water. It was really nice. I seem to be meeting quite a few fishes lately. 2-19-15 Met a young fawn today. I felt a bit like a mentor as they watched and copied me. I still don't know much around here, so I couldn't really teach them all that much. We went to De Drinkplaats and stayed there for awhile. The little fawn ended up slipping away when I wasn't paying attention. Still resting in the spot that I was left in, I was approached by this full grown deer. They laid next to me for a while before we got up and started butting trees, looking for acorns. I guess neither of use really thought about how that area was too dry for the trees that carry acorns. Once we get to the more common area and get the acorns, we begin a spell war on eachother. We rush to find any pinecones we can. I admit that went on for quite a while. During the 'war', we bumped into Caesar. He didn't seem to recognize me at first, but I was a bit preoccupied anyways. I rushed off after the other deer and continued the war for a short period. When I went back to where Caesar was, I didn't find him. Ran into Yasen again today. We ran and jumped around longer than we did the other day. Even had a mini spell war, which was great. Unlike yesterday, I was the one to fall asleep first. 2-18-15 When I woke up today I went straight to the pond for a drink and found that I had finally gotten my antlers... Or what you would call the beginning of them. I had began to think that I would never get them. I wonder if learning how to turn into a raven the other day helped with this somehow. I was surprised to see that the flowers that I wore on my head had twisted around the antlers. Walking through the forest looking for any company, I came upon this fawn. But as I came near to greet them, they ran. Strange. Next I came across this stag that somewhat reminded me of Caesar. We spent half the day running through the forest together. It was great! I never figured out his name before he went to sleep. After my run around with the stag, I went to the ruins and slept near the graves. They have been a new source of comfort as of late. Most of my time is still dedicated to the Old Oak though. During my rest a stag by the name of Yasen came up to me. We jumped around and danced a bit before he, as well, fell asleep. Not ready to sleep yet I run to the Old Oak, checking up on it and listening to the music, before going down to the pond, where I met a stag (Thias). We didn't really talk, or I should say he didn't. I just laid near him in the water and cooled down, since it was a bit hotter today. Getting restless, I once again took off running. I quickly met a deer with a rather lovely mane (Darcia) near a fungi tree. They didn't seem to want to leave it and I didn't really mind. After some time they seemed to want to be left in their own world. So I left. Aimlessly walking through the woods again, I called out and was welcomed by two stags. I follow them a bit but they didn't really seem up to much. I followed the call of another to a place a bit off to the side. There I saw a fawn and a deer with very yellow eyes (TF). I'm not really sure what happened to the fawn, but the older deer and I chased each other through the trees, pouncing on one another as we went. We only stopped when we ran into a resting stag (Oberyn) and decided to lay next to him. The forest seemed to be getting quiet. Well, that was before a fawn came up and started to shout in our faces. I don't know if they were trying to get our attention or what, but that seemed a little rude. I got up and greeted them, and they returned the gesture, but after a while they started shouting again. I decided there was no use and laid back down just as another deer approached. I thought they would calm the other down, but then they just started mooing as well. I decided it was time to try and get some sleep. 2-17-15 Hung out with a group of fawns and a stag before I got distracted by a large raven appearing. It watched us jump around before it took off. As it flew I had the sudden urge to follow it. I ran alongside it, leaving the group behind, and running into another group. This group was primarily made up of stags. The raven stayed, but I decided that the group did not want a fawn around and left. As I walked through the forest I decided to try out my limited magic and try changing into a raven. I changed my direction and headed to De Drinkplaats, that was going to be the easiest way to do this, I figured. Reaching the enchanted mushroom ring, I walked over the water supply and took a drink, shaking my head as I feel the change of my body. I don't think I'll ever get over how weird that feels. Trying to get out of the circle while holding on to the spell proves to be difficult. After a few more attempts I was finally able to successfully get out of the circle and hold the spell. Excited, I flew a around the forest for a while before stopping at the pond. Figuring that I had enough for today, I head to the Old Oak to sleep, but am stopped by the sight of Calfuray lying in a patch of flowers next to a stag, Caesar. I decide to hold off on the sleep and join them. It's been a while since I first saw her. Lying next to her I found out that she had sprained her ankle a few days earlier. I tried to comfort her with Caesar. It seems to have worked, but I can tell she's still a bit disappointed about not being able to jump and run around like usual. Suddenly we were greeted with another beautiful fawn named Doves. She doesn't seem to talk much or not able to. I'm, to say the least, am a bit delighted to find someone like me. I hope to meet them again and become friends. 2-6-15 The Forest is quite noisy today. A lot of deer calling out to one another. I don’t feel like answering or seeking any of them out though. Maybe I’ll just stay at the Old Oak. 2-4-15 Met two stags named Flyleaf and Kestrel. They seemed very nice and at least had enough patience to play with me and let me lay near them. Kestrel had gone off to sleep, while Flyleaf… I had lost track of him at one point. I hope to see them both again one day. Came upon a fawn that also had a crown of purple flowers on their head. Walked to the Twin Idols together and we both got a glowing pelt. She seemed to really like it. We then traveled down to the pond, where the other fell asleep. I didn't know if I should have stayed or not, but after a while the urge to run around again became too much. Walked through the forest by myself for a while and stumbled upon another stag. I wasn’t able to catch his name though. I stood a bit to the side, trying not to get in his way in case he wasn’t up for a fawn’s company. Apparently he was. He walked over, bowed and sniffed me. I bowed and sniffed him back. He watched me for a few moments before calling out to another deer that had been mooing. When he got a response he began walking in the direction the call came from. I took a few steps forward, about to follow, then stop, hesitating. The stag stopped walking and looked at me, waiting for me. I trotted over to his side and look up at him, waiting for him to start walking again. We follow the call of the deer in silence until we are met with another fawn. The same fawn I had met earlier. Her name’s Calfuray. 2-2-15 Walked through the forest a came upon a mushroom ring and saw a deer that had an appearance of a fawn, but I can tell this one was much older than I, lying down in it. I stopped outside of the ring and bowed in greeting to this deer. They got up and bowed at me in return before sniffing me. Before I could return the gesture they went back to their spot and laid back down, curling around what looked like a raven. Wasn't sure if I was invited into the circle to join them, so I attentively took a step inside the circle and laid near the edge. The other deer kept still for a few seconds before getting up and walking up to me, leaving the bird, which was being as still rock- was it sleeping?-, alone for the moment. I looked up at them, curious to what they were going to do; they just stared at me before walking out the circle and then walked around it before stepping back in and, once again, curling around the bird. I took that as a sign that maybe I wasn't welcomed in the circle so close to the bird. It wasn't an aggressive gesture, but maybe this deer was just that kind. I was intrigued by this deer, I wanted to see what else would happen. I walked over to a tree and scratched my side against the bark, feigning indifference. I could feel the deer watching me, but when I turned to them they were getting up and running in the direction of the pond. Seeing this as my chance, I walked back over to the mushroom circle and laid in front of the blackbird. On investigation, I found out that the bird was indeed alive, just unmoving. Before I could investigate anything more I heard the sound of running hooves approaching, looking up in time to see the other walking up to me and, once again, sniffing me. To be quite honest, I was surprised by this non-threatening gesture, how this deer was acting towards me in whole, considering how others acted. I had also thought that maybe they were protecting the bird. Maybe they saw me as trustworthy and of no threat, and that thought made me delighted in being trusted. I got up and moved away from the bird, but not out of the ring. It just seemed right for the other deer to be laying near the bird. I took up a spot that was near the other and the edge and laid there, enjoying the silent company. After a while of lying there, I yawned and figured it’s time to go and sleep. I felt the other deer watching me as I got up and stretched my limbs. I looked over at them and then walked out the circle before running towards the Old Oak. | Rut stuff down below all this. --------------- Nickname(s): Fluffy Age: Young mature. Human age would be 19.

Meaning that if he is with company he might stray to check out something. But he will always try to come back to them as fast as he can. He loves the company of other deer, whether it's running in a herd or snuggling with one (or a few). He is self-conscious though, so he sometimes tends to over think about how others see him. He is afraid to disappoint another deer. He use to be self-deprecating about his looks, thanks to certain ones, but is getting over it with the help of his friends. He is very energetic, often not able to sit still for too long, running and jumping everywhere, not really knowing when he is becoming annoying to others. He has been managing to learn how to stay still longer thanks to his friends liking to chill a lot. Ashe is very spiritual, preferring to go to the graves or idol at the ruins and 'talk' and listen to the spirits there when he has no other company. Or when he's hit a low and needs someone to talk to. He has recently taken to going to the Crying Idol as well as the Twins. + Loves flowers, loves to have them, lay in them, and roll in them. + Splashing in the pond is a great past time + Ravens are friends + Running through the tall grass is great too + Felines aren't friends (though maybe Reykat, she seems cool). + If he's being attacked he most likely will not attack back, unless he has to. Instead he will find another way to get rid of them. + Will defend others without a thought. + Although he does not like fighting he will engage in rough play/play fighting. _______________________________________________________________________________ Revising relationship list threeeee it still scrolls but im lazy so trust me bro I'm also lazy so no art links right now. |
