I think I have one that's mini, but he needs the zombie pelt, too, so if I transferred the mini spell to him, he'd lose the zombie pelt and then--ghshfoh

Tomorrow I'll probably ask for a group of deer to spell him like crazy until he gets it ;o (and hopefully it won't take hours like it usually does :/ )

Okay...super excited for this! Sometimes I accidentally call it a he...it's still an it even when I do.



Cualli trotted along through the trees, their tail arcing out behind them like some old time banner on a blimp. The blue gray creature's head was craning back to stare up at the trees as they passed by them, occasionally brushing their shoulder and side against one as if to make sure it was really there. Or maybe they just like the feeling of the bark against their fur.


Sorry this is so short, I keep getting distracted by things 'n stuff.

Gender neutral pronouns can

Gender neutral pronouns can be tricky to use. Apparently "yo" is becoming one in some parts of the US! I think that's neat c:
..did you say... "things 'n stuff"? Possibly.. stuff and things? sorry I just... yeah I had to lol. I hope you're a The Walking Dead fan, otherwise I probably sounded stupid xD
--

As per the usual, the day was a pleasant one with the sun shining as it normally did and the breeze teasing its way past the flora and fauna. By the Pond sat a little lump of a stag. The water lapped at his front hooves and the mud felt good against his rump on the warm day, but his attention was drawn to the plight of a baby koi that was thrashing about in a most dramatic way after it had breached itself on the shore. With large eyes, Tamas watched the little thing trying to flip and flop its way back into the water where it could breathe.
'What is it doing that for?' His mind inquired in its own way. Light hitting the surface of the water cast ever-changing stripes of light on his mask as he bent closer toward the desperate fish.
Waning-Sun's picture

Haha, unfortunately I've

Haha, unfortunately I've never watched The Walking Dead. According to most people, I should though. It seems to be popular. And really? "Yo"? I've never heard of it being used as a gender neutral pronoun.



Cualli's trotting slowed to a halt as they caught sight of something little and gray down by the pond. It was a deer, or whatever they were considered here, a young one at that. Their tail dipped a bit as they studied this little gray fluffball, realizing after a moment that they were studying something down by the pond. Something. What type of something? Excited and curious, Cualli bolted forward, racing faster than they must have thought they were going, since they had to leap over the little gray thing to avoid running over them. They skidded to a stop and wheeled about, lowering their head to peer down at the poor little fry.
"What's that?!" they asked excitedly, shooting a glance at Tamas with their big gray eyes.

Oh, hahhh.. xD It is pretty entertaining. You get lots of adventure and hack-n-slash stuff going on, but there's also a ton of character interaction and growth in it.
Apparently it's a fairly new occurrence on the east side, centered around Maryland, I think?
--

An ear twitched to the sound of a creature approaching, but his attention was still held by the little fish. The way the sunlight glistened off its scales, the way its body turned this way and that as it struggled to get back into the water. Fascinating. His mind did not hold the word "fish" so it thought of them as their shape--they were slender things that moved through the water so quickly. Not too long ago he wanted to move like the koi did, but he found himself to be quite handicapped in the water.

The little grey stag was so absorbed in his studies that the sight of the other creature startled him badly. He let out a sudden bleat like a goat's and tried to scramble backwards away from the thing that sailed over his head, but all that he managed to do was tip backwards and get mud all over his back and in his long hair. He rolled away from the enthusiastic deer, propped himself up with one front leg, and looked over his back. This creature was a color similar yet still different than his own fur. Brown eyes squinted thoughtfully at them.

Interesting...for both. Lol.

Interesting...for both. Lol. And I knew I was forgetting something /facedesk/. I got busy for a bit, and then I genuinely forgot. Feel free to yell at me if I do that again. I need to be reminded.

Cualli's gray eyes studied the fawn with innocent eyes, before their attention was caught by the struggling fish again. They wriggled closer, keeping their body low to the ground and stretching out their neck.
"What's that?" they repeated, before their gaze went from the fry to the fish in the pond. "Oh!It's a swimmer!" they answered their own question, sounding excited. "What is it doing, thinking it can crawl?"

I do!!
-

A hot, prickly feeling made his throat feel bad enough that he let out another very loud bleat. Cold mud plopped and dripped from him as he got up without shaking any of it off. He was feeling frustrated, but his actions were kept from becoming too rough by his usual curiosity that smoothed it out. He studied them, noting how they were low to the ground and careful.
'Bep.' That's all he said before moving closer and crouching just as they did and looking at the little fish, just as they did. Maybe this one knew what they were doing. Maybe this little wiggly thing they were both looking at would be explained.

Sure thing! Sorry for the

Sure thing! Sorry for the late reply, went to sleep for quite some time xD Oh, camping in the rain... sometimes it can be nice, sometimes it can be dreary xD depends whether or not you're a rain person.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soundlessly stepping through the forest, her hooves leaving only small amounts of a strange white dust as she moved, a black and white deer-like figure moved through the trees. However, her long tail depicted that she may be of some other species, as well as her human face. The creature came up to the pond, where she could see a small and rather frail looking white deer with a long and tangled black mane... laying there. Was it alright? He appeared to be covered in mud and water from the pond. As she came closer to investigate, she lowered her ears and tilted her head. "Hello?" she asked. His scent was rather odd, as he appeared to smell of wet, stifled flesh.

Oh, I agree! My preference for the rain is determined by how well I can dry off from it.

He'd heard her approaching from behind as was evidence by the large ears that swiveled in her direction, but he did not acknowledge her for some time when there were more important things to look at. Moving as if he knew exactly what to do, he shifted one leg to block the tiny fish's progress back into the deeper water where he knew it would be able to get away. Unfortunately, his efforts were for naught when the fry curled forcefully, flipped into the air, hit his mask with a tiny smack, and made its escape.

So much for observing the wildlife. His one eyebrow furrowed as he squinted and bobbed his head to try and get another glimpse of the fish, but they had all retreated into the depths.

Without something to watch, he noticed the sensation of being watched and remembered that there had been a noise and presence behind him. This was a different presence, but he did not know how it was different. Even with speech, he would not have learned about the calming presence of a unicorn, even when it was part unicorn. He got up oozing watery mud and fully turned around to face her. A muffled sniffing noise came from behind his mask as he stared fixedly at her.

Sabel's ear perked up a bit

Sabel's ear perked up a bit as the creature turned away from her. It looked like a very frail deer, wearing a mask. And it seemed to be soaked in mud upon closer inspection. Tilting her head as it attempted to keep a fish from flopping back into the water, and giving a slightly amused giggle as it jumped up and smacked him, causing him to be frustrated in some sort of way.

Raising her head up and silently stepping away from the trees and bushes, Sabel was slightly cautious coming out. This creature looked as if it could be scared away. Hearing the muffled sniffing noise from its mask, she gave it a friendly smile. It didn't seem to be able to speak. She patted the ground gently and tilted her head, directing it at him as if to ask if she could come closer. She wasn't sure it could understand what she said, as it hadn't quite heard her greeting earlier.

Same here xD sometimes I'm fine getting soaked, and at other times I'll just feel like a sticky mess xD

The little stag held his ground and continued to stare. He lifted his head to find a better sample of this newcomer's scent, but the mask on his face made it difficult. Naturally, it was easy for him to remove his mask, but right then it felt very secure and wonderful on his face and so it would stay there for a time.
Her face changed and seemed to widen. What little of his face seen past the mask was clearly arranged in a configuration of bewilderment until he remembered that this expression--it was called a smile, but he didn't know that--meant that the other would be nice to him.

A large, brown eye followed her movements carefully as she patted the ground. While speech was an unobtainable commodity for him, body language and gestures were an entirely different matter. He nodded roughly, the movement smattering his chest and legs with the mud that made his hair heavy. His tail even waggled like an fawn's. Yes, she could come over.

Seeing as his tail was

Seeing as his tail was wagging, a sign of approval with his nod, the unideer approached him, her ears relaxing a bit as her long tail swished through the dust and grass. As she came up to the stranger, she began cleaning some of the mud off of his fur. She noticed only one of his eyes was visible, following her with some interest. Strange... her mask had both eyes visible. Maybe there was a reason for his? She decided not to attempt to ask, as she felt it might not make the stranger comfortable. She didn't quite know how to give them her name if they could not speak- assuming they could not. Her voice came out rather softly and quietly as she attempted to test this once more, sitting down in front of the stranger. "Can... you... talk?" she asked rather slowly.

The little blue creature

The little blue creature glanced over at them, but reached out with a hoof to prod the fry.
"It's a silly swimmer!" They exclaimed, "Thinkin' it can walk-wiggle everywhere." They poked the fry again, "Silly Swimmer!"

@cloud His brown face seemed

@cloud
His brown face seemed to beam at her as she approached him, but the expression shattered when she began to clean him. Surprise, fear, and then confusion overtook his face one by one in a rapid spitfire of emotion, but he was quick to settle down and found out that he rather enjoyed the attention. And then she was done and sitting down. He remained standing.
Both ears cupped to her slow speaking. The left little scrap of an ear moved just as easily as the other even though its reduced size sometimes made it hard for him to pinpoint a noise, relying on his right ear. Tamas furrowed his brow and peered closer at her. What interesting vocalizations from this one! His eye crinkled in a grin, he hummed a soft 'Nnn' at her, spun around, and began searching for something in the mud.
