Djinn
Djinn, interesting you are to answer me so hastily... you perhaps are not as close Iaurdagnire as to doubt my intention. Good... very good, though female, I am sure that attitude may be useful.
Lacie
Interesting creature, aren't you? Far be it from me to force you, shifter. Do as you will Lacie; I have nothing on you.
Virgil
Hmn-hn... Alas, Virgil, you continue to resist my calls into the gutter. Very naughty, stealing your name away out of this forest - I would have gladly kept it safe for you. Do promise me that when you are called away forever, you leave it with me as a parting gift, hm? Oh do not worry, I'm sure it'll be very much at home with me and the old ones who know it so well. But, to the present... well, even I cannot tell whether you are strong enough to do what I may very well end up asking of you. In exchange for what I am after, of course.
Quad
Abandon? Such a strong word. I am offering to help your friend in exchange for a mere favour, and you speak as if I am condemning him to hell. Hmn-hn, your friendship cannot help him in what must be done, Quad.
Queze
Mine pleasures are but to dance with you when given my hollow breath of air. Today, I do not ask for the world or your presence, Queze, something far far simpler.
Ravenflight
Oh how I long to pull that flower from the earth... trust mortals to bestow a sense of treasure on something so widely available. Nn, no harm you say? No. No, of course not. Not from you, Ravenflight.
Ephiré
Ah, now there is an answer to an ambiguous question. Ephiré is strong, unmoving... powerful... yes, you are perfect for what must eventually come.
Sanguine
My-my. Hmn-hn, mine will be done, at your move. I can ask you to take one step, but not control which way you decide to take it, or how far, Sanguine.
Fikos
Why, hello Fikos, young life. Such a dangerous place you decide to tread - among giants no less! Little one, you have no business with me yet, but life you will learn is a game... and it is a game I provide. Enjoy, my dear. Enjoy.
Melusine
His safety will be compromised... but safe, yes, he will be. Such a kind and soft doe you are, Melusine... Careful.
Starling
Your friend once said that there is a difference between wisdom and intelligence. Intellect may teach one to avoid harm, and protect someone from it. Wisdom may well show you to do the opposite for a greater victory.
Gehirn
Death can offer you nothing but something to live for, in showing you that you are willing to die for it. Hmn-m... Gehirn, it'll take more than just you to push that immovable giant into realising this.
Kaoori
Speak not to me about trust, Mother of three. Your child dances freely in my sky.
Zacharias
Ah, good... very good... but a reward may be something you cannot avoid, young guardian.
Illrose
Well my dear, you remember him now? You are a great asset in war, Illrose, but perhaps this is one war too many.
Noelle
HA-Ha-HA, you please your God, Noelle, seeing this mess for what it is. But you seem to lack the same intuitiveness when it comes to your own... ha-ha, a pity. I accept your... persistent nature, nonetheless.
Crybaby
Sweet little fallen one, so easily lost but not so easily forgotten... you are loyal to a fault, and one day it will burn you if it has not done so already. You will find them.
Herla
Mm, a wise answer indeed... once a creature is bound by something beyond their power, the struggle to break free only binds them further. Exhibit A: Him. Like the others before, I accept you selflessness.
Ravyn
You sit in my doorway, Swan, able to stand in both rooms. You know already that my promise of a reward unto them is false... and is simply the ability to see, hmn-hn-aha-HA.
"Very well... all those who answered and all those who are quietly willing, listen closely. You are all in danger of losing more than just a friend; the seasons have been running amuck, and they are close to abandoning you and the Gods completely. You may think I should be glad, yes? If the seasons fail, you all make your way quicker to me. No, that it not the wish of a God of Death for everything to end, as ironic as it sounds.
Spring is the one who wishes to seal the fate of your world, and in continuing to hide, the one you call Iaurdagnire cannot engage with him as he has always done, and then reach me. When this meeting happens, my instructions are to release Summer and restore the balance... but therein lies another problem - he is not yet mine to bring back to you. There is a skull that Iaurdagnire broke, and stole from him that is of a high personal value. Once I have this, Summer will become mine, and I will tell you exactly how to force Spring from his hiding place.
Only you can locate the skull pieces for me, I cannot gather them myself. Find them all, and I will surrender all.
Mortals make deals with Death all the time... it's about time I tried doing the same."
Community Event - All welcome!
This is an
in-forest task.
You must locate pieces of
skull of a unknown number that Dag has hidden throughout the forest. Take a screenshot of as many as you think you have found, upload them to an image host (tinypic, photobucket etc), then send them to this email address:
dagnire@yahoo.co.uk
Along with your Username, deer name and pictogram. If you scavenged them in a group, do include everyone elses information if you wish to send just one email crediting all hunters.
Do not post screenshots here, otherwise you'll show everyone else where they are!
You have to find as many pieces as you can in the forest and then email me your findings. The results will be posted this weekend once all emails are in.
The hunt will end later than first described, Midnight UK time, for the people in other time zones who would like to have a go. Have Fun!
Just to be clear: I don't mean go and take a screenshot of any skull-deer you can find. These are skulls (keep it simple, skulls in forest? What do we have in game that is a skull?) that have specifically been hidden, you'll know you've found one when you come across one.
Well done for finding them

A big thank you to Unplugged who provided the random pictos for the hidden skulls!
"How proud I am of you all, doing this most... honourable favour to one of the ever-giving Gods of your world. But yes, that's right, I did mention a reward didn't I. Well... in truth it was to try and tantalize the selfish and the meek; an empty promise of glory. I should have known that such creatures are very rare, here, in my forest of happy dancers, hmn-mn... despite the fact that they would get the job done quicker than any of you. But very well, you shall have the information you seek in due course. First I must examine and rebuild this... curious artefact that is tied to Summer with the strength to deny me.
Though... perhaps I can offer some choice words about those who have come to their Lord with the promise of aid for their friend. You are all blind, and will all be afraid of the piece you will have to find in the dark of yourself in order to help him; it is something that your heart will tell you to deny, always."

Or do you mean the character who's skull Dag has stolen? It's kind of complicated, but he was a character played in the forest who was Dag's first and best friend, who he killed in one of his plots.

Red Hill. It took little
It took little time for The Red to reacquaint himself with this area after a long absence. He too, was very quick to remember how to listen to the forest whispers.
Many voices were brought by the wind to his ears, however, one stood out over the rest. A familiar voice that never failed to run shivers down the Hart's spine.
"Hello Sir..." The middle aged animal whispered, followed by a respectful bow of his head toward the image that had formed in his head. He then raised it again to listen carefully.
"Yes." He replied to the question after a hesitent moment, however he was wary of the 'reward'. The Red could be a simple being, for he did not need any reward greater than the knowledge his dear friend was safe and well. However, he could not deny Death, for it was to him just as unknown and mysterious as the god himself.
He will take every moment as it comes.
Trackin' for now so I can
Oh, sorry Lung. I don't know
I'm not saying everyone has to reply to this as their character, but it would be nice if some people do want to get involved that way, and it at least gives me a clue of how the BZD fits into peoples imagination. Would make it more interesting and give me something to work on with his follow-up tomorrow rather than "... Okay so no-one heard me, but you're going to do this anyway." XD
Vee and Schu's replies are perfectly good examples ^^
The task itself I can't give away until tomorrow, but I promise it's a fun one that can be done OOCly or ICly, it doesn't matter which (:
Ehehe, 'tis the great divide
Eh, I'll just give a reply.
EDIT; Disregard, actually. I need to know what time this is going down first. I'm not sure what my schedule is for tomorrow, though I know I'll be on at some point.
Yeah, except I realized after

Even if you don't like the task/don't want to it when I announce it tomorrow, it's perfectly fine [:
Edit: Well poop. I liked that reply T_T
I can't give an exact time because that would make the task easier, but it'll be when the forest is busiest. So I guess sometime between now and two hours later (so, between 9 and 11pm UK time)

The blackbuck closes his eyes for a moment. At any other time he may have been easy to follow the great one's request. But Quad's mind has been changing, he is slowly starting to consider not only what is best for his friends, but what is best for himself.
He opens his eyes and speaks a reply, "Your offer is generous, but...I could never abandon my friend, no matter what reward was offered to me. I respect you for who you are, sir...but I will not aid you...for his friendship matters more to me than anything you could give."
The voice was new but the
Death but not The Serpent...yes. That, he could understand. Of course the deer of this Forest would have their own Death, a Final Friend in their own image. At the prospect Queze was more than intent, he was tightly coiled. He knew there must be a Death here too, he had known!
When he speaks, Queze's voice is composed but excited.
"I serve another Death, another Master but..." He can not keep the shiver from his voice. "What would you have me do?"
The thought of cutting a bloody swath through the complacent deer of The Endless, once it would have thrilled him to a blood-frenzy. Now though, he imagines friends and his blood cools. He knows the ways of Gods...all take and little give. This Death, if anything like his Serpent would not play by mortal rules.
Inferno and Tempest swirled
"Hmm?"
The doe sat still, curled around the jewel of dandelion hill. She had often visited this flower in her youthful days, long before her dear friend Iaurdagnire had walked the earth. The doe was old, and had seen many years pass before. She knew the scent of Velocity. Her name was one he could not keep forever.
But things did not seem right. She could hear a faint, sickly voice seep up from the ground, from beneath the stags garden.
"Yes. I will."
Not daring to utter anything else, the doe curled around the isolated flower even more. The sickly scent would tease in the air every now and then. Whilst the small dandelion almost seemed to wither with the foul stench. Lifting her head in concern every now and then, the doe uttered a stern warning. She had stared down oblivion, had reached realms far outside.
"No harm will come to him."
I love these so far...
The large dark stag is
A whisper on the wind, a faint smell of... old earth and dying things. His left ear swivel around once. He knows this voice: he has met its owner in the swirling mists of Autumn.
Death... he will be forgotten and lost in the seas of Time, but never dead. He is a spectator, not an actor, on this world's stage. Hearing Death's voice does not worry him.
"Hm," he says, the sound rumbling through his whole being. "Maybe. Probably." Hesitance. He is very fond of his friend Iaurdagnire, and sometimes Death does not tell the whole truth. Not a particularly set-in-stone answer: he will watch and see, and help Iaurdagnire in any way he can.

The little green deer is not her anymore.
Not the same.
Male. large. Feather-fur. And red.
So
So
red.
His tongue curls from his mouth around teeth jagged and sharp.
"I think myself an observer of this earth. I move only my own pieces. I am not a piece to be moved" his head rises, lips pulling back over his teeth as he inhales the scent of rot, of decay.
"But even still. Sometimes the king must be castled" his head lowers again, teeth hidden away.
"Very well. The king's piece has been lifted. And at your will, shall be moved" it's as good an answer as any in his mind.
blegh. Re-commenting. Fikos
Fikos is still a fawn? Is that okay?
Her tiny hooves thumped quietly as she pawed at the ground.
"Yes."
This would be her chance to make something of herself.
Your earned your name's
there's a typo there.
Is it supposed to be You earned?
The area around tasted of an
"Yes.. ?"
Her position was arched and slightly afraid, almost cat-like.
"I will come,i guess. I only want Dag safe... I don't need anything apart from that."
She swallowed, hoping to satisfy the voice in some way.

Sorry, my concentration levels are crap. :C
Plus I'm like half asleep so I've prolly got half of this weird.
Ravyn - Thank you, I fixed
Update - Distrustful answers are distrustful.
Oops...
Starling's ears sharpened, and she grew all the more tense as she wandered what to say. She stood for a few small moments, before turning face on with a ferocious look to her face. "I will do anything," she spoke fiercely. "considering no harm comes to Iaurdagnire. And you should be wise to make sure that nothing does."
