Let the zombies take over the Forest. >=D Though my deer didn't see His Dark Lord, the Big Zombie Deer last night. He was gone before I got home. I sent in the ninja (Kinsha) to keep watch in case he might show. But that proved a difficult task with all the fog surrounding the Ruins...


While Kinsha likes the cloaking powers of the fog, it became too stifling and disorienting to stay in it too long. He retreated to the still-sunny sections of the Forest for awhile.

He called it a night after growing bored and seeing no Giant Zombie appearing.

Then today, I saw that the BZD was in the Forest. Scape happily ran in to join the fun. When he got to the Twin Gods hill where the BZD was sleeping, there were already many zombie deer, sitting in a line watching him. Getting the zombie set, Scape joined them.

"Yes! Join us! You know you want to! >=D"

While everyone was dancing, the BZD finally woke up! =D

And joined the dance. Then it was back to feeling like they were performing for him.

Before he fell asleep again. XD; Scape decided to keep his distance from the mighty zombie so others would have a better chance of casting on him and getting the zombie set. And...air-sat with Cyric for a bit. XD

Afterwards, he sneezed off the pelt and antlers. He'd only planned to get the mask, which looks cool with his normal pelt and antlers.
After button-mashing with Taiko for awhile (how long has it been? ), he left to let Magnet have some fun.

Like Scape, he only wanted to keep the mask, so he sneezed the pelt and antlers off.
A lot of his time there was just spent watching everyone else have fun. He needs to break that lingering shyness.

RedKora was pretending to attack the Gods statue. XD

Magnet took a seat next to the Gods to keep watching everyone.


He went off to his favorite hill where I could get closeups then. I wanted to see if the antlers on the mask were hitting his big white antlers.

They barely touched, I found.
Magnet went back to the Twin Gods hill to see Vipin had arrived. He was a bit apprehensive about approaching the group again though, so Scape went back to have some more fun.




And then, we could see movement. Breathing.
The Dark Lord had awoken.
We all followed him down to the pond.



Get a load of that breath. o_o

You can still see small wisps of it as he breathes.
Oh, but check this out.

Perfect. =D
But then, the BZD had had enough of us and jumped in the pond. D= Farewell. Everyone just danced in the returned sunlight in the pond shallows.

Then Vipin ran off. But oho, Scape spotted someone entering the Forest. He saw reason to kick Magnet back in. >=]
Magnet entered the Forest sleep-sliding to weird everyone out for fun. XD But when he stopped..

Lookee here. Someone we know was sitting in the pond. I tried to coax Magnet (aka yelled at) to go over to her, but then she looked upset and took off. D= Magnet couldn't figure out where Aspen had gone, but then Lorak came over, signaling for Magnet to follow. Curious, and suspecting he knew why, he followed, only to see his guess was right. Lorak had led Magnet to Aspen, who was hiding in the Crying Idol. He sat to wait for her to emerge. He had seen the skull she adorned, knowing it wasn't just a mask. He waited, seeing her still not emerging. Reading on this site proved what was wrong, so he decided to try something. Aspen was ashamed of her new face. Magnet never likes showing his real face. He would face his unease.
He sneezed off all his masks, revealing his true face, and sat down to wait again.
Finally, Aspen appeared from the stone of the Crying Idol. I'll let you see what came of that face-to-face meeting.

^^ That is all.
