"The poisons aren't helping anymore.
I keep up my consumption though, afraid...- afraid of what will happen if I give up. Ha. No. I know very well what will happen. I'll be overcome by madness- like my mother; my brother. For so long now, spiteing them has been my motivation to keep going. I thought I could prove them wrong. I thought I could show them that I was capable of love, and that others were capable of loving me, too.

Always the fool...

It's all a joke now - waking up every day, going through the motions. Do I look thinner? Sometimes I forget to eat...Well, aside from the plants that feed by growing nausea. I feel so sick, but somehow it's still better than the alternative...

I did venture down to the pond today. I stood ankle-deep in the water for the longest time, staring out across it's surface, looking for those devilish eyes amongst the lilypads. 'Neath...would he take me if I lay down and offer myself? Could it be that easy? He never showed, of course, and I remember laughing so hard I had to vomit in the reeds.

Heh, 'reed's. A fitting place for vomit.

The taste of my own blood still lingers on my tongue. Perhaps I wont have to go looking for the Reaper. Perhaps he'll find me first. I shouldn't care, but...the thought doesn't sit well with me. I can't die from this. I can't simply lay down and let myself wither away. But why? It was not as though my existance deserved an anymore nobler end... Yet my body aches - not just from sickness, but restlessness. That old familiar masochism that yearns for a more violent death. Go down fighting? There was an idea...

Alas, just an idea. I've always been full of silly ideas. In the end, would it really matter? Dead was dead. Nobody would waste their magic on me, drag me back from hell or revive my soul. There would be no regrets. There'd be nothing at all. I have no immediate plans to act on any such ideas, of course. I've been accused of overthinking things, and now is no different. Sitting here, alone, the sun on my bare face, it's easy to roll thoughts of my own mortality through my head
I would miss the sun."


D wanted this to be in his own words this time...
Also, relations updates.




General


Name: Darcy. Prefers just 'D'
Gender: Stag
Age: Late Thirties (Birthday: June 9th)
Size: #13
Voice: Similar to Ethan Hawke
Scent: Old Spice 8| The man your man could smell like~
Set: Monarch Pelt, Real Deer Mask, Fan Antlers




Personality

Laid back and easy-going, Darcy isn't the hardest stag to get along with. He's generally accepting of strangers big and small and takes anything 'out of the ordinary' in stride. While he has his charming and polite moments, the stag's humor is generally pretty dry. Sarcasm is a second language and making a joke out of everything is second nature. There's also a definitive air of self-confidence about him that makes up for his lack of size and general bulk. He faces challenges head on and all too often with a smirk on his face. Darcy has very strong principals and rules that make up his sense of 'right and wrong' and follows them closely...even if they sometimes seem a bit contradictory to others. He often expects the same courteousness in return and may pass judgement quickly on anyone who doesn't heed those expectations. Rudeness is something he doesn't take lightly.

Once a loyal and fiercely protective friend and lover, Darcy is now weary of close connections. He thrives on casual encounters, intimate or otherwise, and will reject any company he feels may be getting too close, or who is already close and straying - a 'hurt them before they hurt me' mentality. When he does acquire a friend or a lover, Darcy can lay the charm on thick. He's calm, sensitive, respectful and attentive, giving a deer exactly what they need when the occasion calls that he give anything at all - unless, of course, what they need goes against his own principals. He rarely ever opens up to anyone, unless you somehow manage to slip past his censors and grow closer to him then he often permits. His smile often times hides lies and the something that brews beneath his calm exterior can sometime be seen through his eyes and subtle expressions.

When he acquires an enemy, however, Darcy can hold grudges. He may even go out of his way to spite another if he feels the 'hurt' must be repaid. He holds no biased between males or females, treating them equally, and sometimes even fawns, though he adjusts his tactics according to weakness. He's not afraid of a fight, though he may refrain from one of loss is a certainty. Most of the time his confidence in his abilities trumps any doubt and he'll rush headlong into competition in ways that may appear reckless to most. When he fights, Darcy fights dirty. Quick on his feet and skilled with his maneuvers, he'll take down his opponent however he can if it's a serious battle. If not, he may enjoy teasing and taunting his enemy more then harming them, keeping just out of harm's way and dancing at the edge of danger.

There is a darkness in Darcy, of that you can be sure...but also a lot of light. He no longer is the stag he once was, but glimpses can still be seen beneath a colder, more distant mask. There is always a certain sadness and secretiveness about him, clear in his slow, thought-out expressions and careful words. He does his best to control the worst side of him through a variety of methods, and ignores the judgement passed on him. In anger and distress though, he sometimes loses all control and lets the darkness out in irrational bursts. During these times, he is a mere shadow of himself, empty yet full of rage and despair.

Relations


Positives
TallaSweet little doe and a long time friend. Protective toward and strangely tolerant of despite her skittish nature. | IsaitaAnother long time friend. Has known the little doe since she was a fawn. Yet again, protective toward and tolerant of despite her skittish nature. Wishes she would seek him out more... | Dinah MoonGood friend. Unsure how the relationship blossomed, but glad it did. Respects her attitude and enjoys her company. Flirts with often. | IdelleDaughter of Dinah. Allowed close to the fawn after she was born and fell in love with her. Protective of and fatherly towards, though rather disapproving of the friends she's chosen to keep... | ThatchA new but strong relationship. Has an attitude and manner about her that draws him in and keeps him wanting more. Possible connection forming. | UmayHas a wavering sort of friendship with the feline-doe. Enjoys her company while it lasts and admires her strength. Feels he's still kept at a distance though and frequently passed by. | NeathFascinated by the beast. Feels he still owes him after saving him from hungry vultures. Often jokes that if he were to die, his body should be given to the monster as payment.
Neutrals
RavynA friendly acquaintance, though feels he's never been close enough to call her a true friend. Will seek her out on lonely days. | HennaUsed to consider her a friend. Enjoyed sparring and playfully harassing the doe with his flirting. No longer tolerated by her due to Eraline's death, but still feels lingering respect for her. Has hope maybe someday their relationship can be mended... | LinA fawn he adopted as a daughter long ago. Their bond now wavers. Sees her less and less, and her insistence to remain in 'fawn' form annoys him - as does her bond with Herla. Tolerates her jealousy less and less. | SaosinUncertain of where he stands with this stag. Occasionally spend time with him, even roughhouses with him, but more often than not they keep a distance between them. | SiannaOnce hated the doe with his every waking breath. Now...Tolerant towards her, and even intrigued by her ways. Attempted to have a casual relationship with her, but his refusal to get closer caused it to fall apart. Would still welcome her company if she ever returned. | CielA fawn taken in by Herla, tried to help the doe raise him and failed several times over. Now he remains the only deer in the family he can stand to be around. Secretly appreciates the stag does not blame him for Eraline...One of the few. Does not mind his company. | IndiIsrael's female protector. At first was quite annoyed by the doe's standoffish ways and judgmental looks. Now, however, he grows intrigued by her, pathetically thankful that she did not turn him away despite his...ahem, outbursts, and still seems to trust him with the boy. | IsraelA small fawn that somehow tumbled into his life. Looked after him for a time but feels a strong disconnect now that he's older. Knows the boy never heeds his guidance, so he no longer plans to give it.
Negatives
NightmareOnce close to the monster. Sacrificed for the beast and felt they shared a bond between them. In the end he was forsaken for a doe however, and Darcy does not plan to forgive him for it soon. | HerlaConsidered her his best friend and, in a way, a savior in his return to the forest. Shattered by her eventual rejection and betrayal. Loathes the doe and avoids her now, barely able to acknowledge her presence. Will act aggressively toward if pushed. | IsielA good friend from the past only recently returned. Hoped to get in touch with her again, only to find the doe obsessing over males and eventually letting one 'claim' her. Disgusted by her and driven away by her companion, has forsaken the doe as a positive relation. Will act aggressively toward if pushed. | RamsusThe beast who claimed Isiel. Always found him to be a giant numbskull; loathed him more after his attempts to keep him away from Isiel. Just looking at him tends to irritate Darcy. Will act aggressively toward. | ThaneAdoptive father of Eraline. Jealous of the stag from the moment he knew. Eventually grew to completely loathe the male in his attempts to drive him, and then his daughter, away. Blames him a great deal for the doe's death and wont be happy till he meets his own. | RavenflightA very old friend in the forest. Once had strong interests in her, though never got to know her well enough to pursue them. Felt close to her until her friendship with Herla turned her against him. Disgusted by how easily she was swayed to betray him. Wants nothing to do with her now. | JokermanAlways had a tentative relationship with the doe, yet found himself quite attracted to her from the beginning. Even after she hated him for Eraline's death, still held quite a bit of respect for her. Recently, however, has grown to see how two-faced she really is by still associating herself with Thane's family. Finds her hatred toward him is fueling more fire between relationships than putting out. Realizes now just how large a part 'she' actually played in Eraline's demise... | ReedOnce his best friend and big-brother like figure, now just another betrayer. | JettemRespected and protective toward, will now have nothing to do with the doe for taking Reed's side against him.

^^ Hey there. Gus still

^^ Hey there.

Gus still isn't keen on D eh? He has a weakness for fawns it's true ._. And she's a sweetheart. He's injured and not feeling well and he's still doing his best to entertain her ha. Though, he's trying not to get too attached at the same time, as well as not step on her parent's toes.
Gustiro's picture

Haha Gustiro has a strange

Haha Gustiro has a strange mind. XD But really Gustiro just has not formed a sense of trust much yet. He normally sees strong-ish or large antlered deer as dangerous. Then you have the whole dominance thing. Without it he feels he has less control of situations. But I wont go into more detail. I should go to bed. XD
But yes, Idelle was very amused. Darcy made her first day in the forest even more exciting and grand. I was rather surprised on how well it went.
Anyway, I better get some sleep. Goodnight.

"Thank you." Eraline whispers

"Thank you." Eraline whispers as she is leaning out of their nuzzle, her eyes tired and faraway. He had kept her steady tonight - the darkest pit of her at bay. She turns then to make her way home without another word.

She was very much excited to

She was very much excited to see Darcy.
As he trotted her way she stood, stretching sore limbs she was still unsteady on.
"Hello Darcy" It was quiet, but full of recognition and warmth.
She was thrilled to see him healthier than how she had left him. Using all four legs again even. His unbridled energy confused and tired her. Poor Darcy, the one time he's healthy and bouncy she's tired and cranky.
"I was afraid no one would remember me. You look much better, by the way. Come sit?"

Hooran: Nigahigawut? XD UM HEY -wave-

Fikos:
He stared upon the little doe with wide eyes, full of happiness and yet, uncertainty. There was no mistaking her voice, but could he really be looking at Fikos?
"Of course I remember, you silly thing! And you look...different again," he ventured cautiously, brows flexing in a concerned question he did not ask, "I hardly recognized you."

(Forgive my lack of detail, I'msotired lol. WELCOME BACK?)

A small sigh of relief

A small sigh of relief escaped, though she tried to hide it. She picked up on his concerned tone before the look. Should she have expected otherwise? Did Darcy even know there were places outside the forest? Sne nuzzled him cautiously, but not withholding. Something was very different about him as well, and it made her skittish.

When the other deer approached, it boiled over. The stranger and Darcy sat down, and though there was no impending sense of danger, she ran. Not so far as to get lost, but far enough. Why? There was no reason. Simply having another around was hard enough, but two? And one she did not know? It was too much.

Of course, she tried her hardest when another stranger appeared, this one much smaller. Settling down with them, she tried to stop the immense shaking that racked her body now, it was embarrassing.

Twice she dozed off, the exaughstion setting in finally. She was yet still embarrassed that she looked different. She did not try to change herself. It just happened like that. Soon she wouldn't be remembered by many at all, memories lately riding on superficiality.

Another sigh, this one more content, calmed down a bit.

(No problem, back for a while at least- IMISSEDYOU)

Good question! ^^ Sometimes

Good question! ^^

Sometimes when he isn't feeling quite 'himself' he'll wear the brown pelt...just because he finds the monarch one to be too flashy. Just makes him feel more comfortable in his own skin when he blends in a bit more :3

The merle fawn rears at her stag friend and in a loud, playful, childish voice cries, "Play!" She seems quite pleased with herself at announcing this.

( Sorry Idelle keeps stopping suddenly. My puppy keeps geting into trouble. XD So I have to go save him from his crazy baby ways. Good inspiration for Idelle though if I want her to get into mischief. XD
And will be afk a second. I think the monster needs to potty.)

Poor Darcy. Dinah has no

Poor Darcy. Dinah has no idea what the hell is going on and neither do I. I can start a rp to figure it out, but am super lazy and honestly a little too tipsy to rp. We know Darcy and Era severed their relationship, but what lead up to that? What happened? Is that why Herla hates him?
Shiori's picture

Tipsy ftw! XD It's

Tipsy ftw! XD

It's alright...I'm glad you asked ^^ I know it's hard to understand with my lack of updates recently. I just haven't gotten him to a stable place where I feel confident filling them out yet, if you understand...

Herla finds plenty of reasons to hate him lol. They just don't like being in eachothers presence anymore. Darcy has chosen to no longer acknowledge her, but will avoid her if it causes a problem with his friends. He really didn't mean to stress poor Dinah or Ciel out about it XD' Was trying to make the best decision for the group. Alas, he is bad at decisions -chuckle-

As for his involvement with Eraline...that's a loaded explanation =/ But I don't think it's the main reason for Herla's hatred, no. I could still let you know though if you'd like...
DinahMoon's picture

Please do! I'm so in the

Please do! I'm so in the dark about what happened with Darcy and Era. And at first I thought Darcy and Herla were romantically nvolved, when Dinah and Darcy first began positively interacting, actually, which was quite a while a go. Is her pregnancy why the two are no longer on good terms? Am I totally wrong? Probably so.
Shiori's picture

Well it's a bit muddled, D

Well it's a bit muddled, D and Era's relationship. A lot of IC/OOC confusion. Basic strictly IC scenario though, D loved Era like a daughter, which ended up causing him to butt heads with Xetkal and stir up a lot of drama. He also didn't approve of Bishop or Rook so that caused rifts. In the end he argued with Era about it and Xetkal told him to get lost and he decided to get out of her life in order to spare her the drama he always caused. In the end I guess it did more harm than good...

Herla didn't approve of some of the things D did with Eraline so she is a bit angry about that, but I think it's mostly because she doesn't approve of him, period. They used to be good friends, yes...I don't want to get too into the personal details of it but they got close and it didn't work out and Herla's opinion of him has gone downhill ever since for various offenses she feels he's committed against her. He hasn't really been involved much with her since she's been 'official' with Gehirn, and like I said, he just avoids her altogether now. It's nice that Dinah wants to patch up the relationship but I don't see it ever happening XD Darcy just very much disapproves of Herla now, and I don't think she possessed any patience for him either.

"You're being strange", she'd

"You're being strange", she'd point out boldly, "But oh, I knew you couldn't stay away forever", shifted just a bit, idled in brief thought thereafter. "Lucky I've given you the time of day with that ugly mug of yours", the doe spat sharply, "But here we are", she coo'd next, nice and calm, sweet even. "Do tell, where have all of your friends gone?", her eyes halfheartedly moved over their area. Wouldn't be giving him much time to respond before finishing off with a, "Chased them off with that ugly mug of yours, didn't you?".
Shiori's picture

Stretched out beside her,

Stretched out beside her, resting from their...excursions, Darcy merely flicked an elongated ear her way as she spoke. Taunted. He was growing used to it by now and almost found it dull, but the corner of his mouth still twitched, a low chuckle rumbling from deep within his chest. "And you don't change at all," he responded with a half-hearted, almost sing-song sigh. He paused, then finally shifted his head against the ground, gazing up at her with that grin and those narrowed golden eyes. "If I am so detestable, leave. I dare say you'll miss out, though. What I lack in looks I make up for in... style?"
