Vilnius
There is a soft pumping sound, pulsing, thrumming, coming from the small grove of trees upon the hill that overlooks the pond.
The scent of blood drifts from the area as well, fresh and hot.
Should one be brave enough to look into what the sound and scent was, they would find a stag, though his gently rounded stomach might come as a surprise, will you speak with the Prince of Hearts?
----
Alaska
A flash of snow white within the sunlight.
A stag sits within the halo of warmth, white as virgin snow how ironic that is.
Beneath each eye are rivers of crimson colouration, but aside from that his coat is pure.
His eyes seem to contain the night sky itself, languid ribbons of aurora colour spin and weave within them.
---
Amsden
The soft sound of the river gurgles and sings.
Beside it, a stag of crimson fur sits, a silken coat lays over him, buttoned at the neck, golden blond hair flopping into his eyes.
a few earrings hang from his ears, and necklaces hand about his neck.
He seems relaxed, happy even, certainly good company, right?
Sucre
What could that smell be...
Chocolate, and vanilla...sugar caramel, syrup? sugar!
The stag trots lightly through the shady first forest, various candies sitting upon, hanging from, and generally growing from his bubblegum antlers.
He wears a wide grin, cotton candy tail waving behind him, nearly dancing as he moves.
Patriot
---
Upon the altar, nestled within the ruins, sitting like a demon from a long forgotten legend, a winged canine sits.
Her ears of red and blue feathers twitch lazily every so often, she probably already knows you're around, it's easy to see in her eyes, which glow neon green, as if radioactive.
Her tail gives a twitch, music notes rippling.
Dare you approach?
---
Angevine
A muzzle extends, butterfly landing upon it, and the stag, for he is very much a stag despite his lack of antlers, smiles slightly.
He's a pretty looking male, and he looks very at peace, sitting in the sunlit flowers, amongst the butterflies, though they are far more colourful than the markings upon him, or him in general, he seems to fit there.

Thomas J Alain
If one did not look closely they might have assumed that the stag was wearing a coat.
But he was not, the color of his fur merely mimicked the patterning and colors of the revolutionary war uniform he had worn in his human life.
of course the may also have assumed he was a doe, lacking in antlers as he was.
his tail gives a flick as he walks slowly through the forest, turning his head to take everything in, a bloodied medical patch giving him a blind spot, and his ears constantly turn to make up for it.
----
France
He seems to strut as he walks, showing off every (rather delicious) inch of fur and body he can, bright blond hair tied back, showing bright blue eyes, no antlers to be seen, who needs them? he's not a fighter, he's a
lover
He sings lightly to himself, about himself, in french, ah vanity, one of his many traits.
He can see the beauty in other things too of course.
He does it a lot.
greet him? We shall see what beauty he finds in
you
...
or not~
Prince
He is easy to see, of course, he does not try to hide himself, he has no reason to.
He sits within a sunlit' patch, like a king upon his throne.
Or rather, a Prince, upon his throne.
His chocolate coloured fur is perfectly cleaned, shining even, stripes the colour of fine gold streak his rump daintily.
Atop his head, he even bears a crown, secured upon his head the way other deer bore antlers.
A rope sits coiled between his legs, organized, the other end of the noose is looped about his neck, forever a reminder of his sins.
Servant
He appears to be in a daze, stumbling through the grasses and trees like a zombie, the red string about his neck flickers in the wind, flashing against his long, silky fur, the colour of jet or ink.
His eyes are large, but they are half closed at the moment, adding to the dazed expression.
At last he simply collapses, sitting in a patch of shade, he appears to be in shock. maybe someone should speak to him...
Daywalker
The sun burns high in the sky, beating down relentlessly.
Walking slowly is a deer, no, a deity, hooves light upon the ground, only the tips touch the ground.
it looks delicate, but beautiful, its eyes glimmer like dull stars.
Upon his head large, heavy looking horns, his head is not held up, though it's hard to tell if it's from the weight or not.
the being seems kind, maybe you would like to speak with it.
Nightflier
The veil of the sun, the day, has been wiped away.
A flash of starry sky! the sun trails behind the deity, glowing dim, eyes open, gleaming like stars caught within its head.
Behind it, galaxies stream, brilliant, ever changing mixture of sky and stars.
And it is swift, there's no way a normal deer could keep up.
But a chance! the being stops to rear, tossing its head to the sky before brilliant hooves come crashing down, and it is still.
Quick, now's your chance to talk to it!

Faunet; Juneau's tail thumped
Juneau's tail thumped once.
"we couldn't truly...live, without eachother"Alaska replied to her question in Juneau's place.
"we're very much linked, you see...when my emotions, build up...I can't express them it is simply impossible...so he does it for me...we feel eachother's pain, sickness, health, it's ours to share"
Ginger;
Alaska nodded, "Alaska, Alaska Ethan Micheal Petrov, call me anything but Micheal" he stated, blinking slowly, the colours in his eyes swirling languidly.
"I've lived a long time, waiting isn't my style" a long time was an understatement...
The wolf's tail wagged quickly, lips coming up in a canine smile, leg gently beginning to tap the ground in joy.
I figured that she said
Now Bartleby was really
"Alaska, what an odd name..." he thought about his comment from earlier and cast a quick glance at him. He certainly didn't LOOK old. He looked as if he was his age. Hm, another oddity... "Why are you here?" he asked.
Faunet; Alaska arched a
Alaska arched a brow, and Juneau ticked an ear.
"I feel bad for him, actually...he's suffered more in his lifetime than anyone deserves" he mused.
Gingersnap;
Alaska smiled slightly, "why shouldn't I be here? I don't have anywhere else to be" his eyes flared with seagreen and sharp blue for a moment, taking note of the other's actions, before they swirled lazily again.
"I" literally "have all the time in the world" he rested his head in a hand, "he likes you" he stated softly, glancing at the wolf, "his name is Juneau, if you wanted to know"
Juneau ticked an ear at his name, but didn't look away from Bartleby.
Well when one is abused both
{Yes I read his background}
"Oh? Hello Juneau..." he
He turned back to this new companion. "Thinking that way... It's just like a friend of mine..." he was talking to himself again. "It must be nice to live such a carefree life..." he sighed. Becoming a merchant at such a young age made him forget about such simple things in life. Just thinking about it made him sad.
Faunet; (orly now
(orly now<3)
He tensed for a moment, then relaxed as Juneau wagged his tail.
"we're fine now though, and we always will be, I can assure anyone that" he reached up to touch the necklace about his throat, a simple angel winged maple leaf, a spattering of rust flecked it in its age, but how dear it was to him!
...
Besides Juneau...it was the only thing he truly cared for...
The future is undecided and
Ginger Y U ninja meeeee; He
He laughed, a calm, cold sound.
"no you don't...to live forever, to watch the world die around you...to be immortal" Juneau's ears tipped down.
"you're alive yes...but your soul, your heart...it dies"
Faunet;
His head snapped over to look at her, eyes flaring brilliant pink in a way his cheeks refused to.
d-don't...say that name" he hissed, "how do you know that name?"
Juneau's hackles stood, tail between his legs.
"then you know what I am?" he smirked, "b....be careful...that info could get you hurt"
A year or two ago I met up
Bartleby's eyes narrowed. Why
Finally, he asked. "Your eyes... Is there... something wrong with them?" he didn't worry about offending him. He never worried about things like that. There were more important things to worry about, like whether or not his finger would get cut by the time he got home.
Faunet; Juneau relaxed
Juneau relaxed again, forcing Alaska to along with.
What was he to Canada?
A son. A friend. A would-be lover?
he would never know, and, he couldn't truly care, though the phantom caress of emotion was stirred it didn't manage to remain up.
"he must have been glad someone wasn't ignoring him" he mumbled
Ginger;
he smiled, he had been wondering when that question would arise.
"no, they work better than most even, I seem to be one of the few who see the world for the dreary, cold, dead thing it really is, strange though they may be I assure you, there is nothing out of place" he blinked slowly, "and what of you, what's so wrong with you that you seem to jump and most everything?"
the wolf sighed loudly, flopping down, head still in Bartleby's lap looking most content.
Never mind she said sensing
"They're quite pretty... I
"I've never been this far from home without anyone..." he paused. "My doctor usually won't let me..." he sighed. That damn 'blood thinning sickness'. Why did he have to be born with such an awful thing?
Faunet; he shrugged. At the
he shrugged.
At the moment his number one priority was to get home.
To Russia of course.
Canada, while he did...well, he couldn't...describe it.
In any case, Russia's is where he belonged.
Ginger;
the wolf shuddered, and Alaska joined him.
"I, go out of my way to avoid women" he laughed softly.
"I like men" he was entirely open about it, no need not to be, he didn't care if people hated him.
Hell, if someone tried to kill him, he would likely simply writhe in ecstacy beneath any knife through his chest.
So where are you living know
Bartleby nodded. Marriage
He thought a bit more before replying. "I'm...
I'm not sure about myself." What harm was there? Clearly this person had no qualms. "I'm not really supposed to worry about though..." True, Malware had told him that stress was bad for him, that it would only make the pain worse. He was right, it did.
Faunet; "wherever I please"
"wherever I please" he stated simply, shrugging.
"I'm really just making my way to Russia now, taking my time too...hmm"
tuNregniG;
he smiled.
Juneau heaved a sigh, shifting away a bit as Alaska leaned over to catch the other with gentle fingers under his chin.
"oh? really now..." he put on his most charming smile (and he could be charming when it suited him!), eyes swirling with gentle greens and blues, red pushed to the edges, for many found the red pink a most threatening colour and so he did his best to hide it when he needed to.
"we could find out, right now" he purred, thumb brushing up over his lower lip.
Juneau rolled his eyes.
She clenched her teeth
"No thank you." Bartleby
Indeed, he was using the same tactics that Jergens did on him. He was used to them, and didn't think much of them. It was a normal routine by now.
Faunet; he smirked, Canada
he smirked, Canada must have regailed her with tales of Russia.
did Canada even know what he had become? those masochistic tendencies of his.
"sometimes the only way to let your emotions out is to cut them out" he said simply, smirk still there.
Ginger;
Alaska paused, then laughed.
He actually, laughed.
Juneau jumped, looking a bit frightened of this new predicament.
he stopped when he begantearing up, swiping a gloved hand over one eye.
"is that what I am?" he settled down again.
"hm, yes, maybe..." he frowned.
"oh well, you don't seem like you would be good with causing pain anyway, for shame"
Only if you are forced and
Bartleby sighed in relief, a
"Odd, but interesting..." he continued to talk to himself, twirling his hair again in thought. My, what would Jergens think of this strange man? Certainly the unusual type.
Faunet; "my masochism is
"my masochism is what it is, and there's no getting rid of it" he chuckled dryly.
"which is why I do love Russia so" if the twisted, corrupt relationship they shared could be called loving at all.
Ginger;
He smiled again, ever so slightly.
"I'm many things, life gets boring after a few centuries" he said simply, licking his lips before adressing his sigh.
"I try and take what I think is good, I'm one to try, but I know when I'm beat" he arched a brow, looking him over.
"something seems strange about you yourself" he mumbled.
"Hm, you should meet my
Bartleby then paused at his last comment. Oh, why not? Not like it mattered anyway. "If you can call a hemophilliac strange, then by all means." he chuckled sadly. "Now you see why I'm so afraid to be out here..."
"many people, despite what
At the mention of his illness he tilted his head a fraction.
"I would not be pleased at all if I had that" he gently tugged his sleeve up, showing the many scars, and that was merely his arm.
"you see, I'm a masochist" he stated, smiling a bit now.
Oh boy she said putting her
He looked at his arm. "I
"You seem proud of them. Why be so proud of something so pointless?" he asked blandly, no longer fearing him.
Faunet; he laughed at her
he laughed at her softly, not bothering to hide it.
"weak stomach much?"
Ginger;
"because each scar, represents a spark of pain, and each spark of pain, represents a moment, if only a moment, when I actually felt something" he explained, "even now as I sit and speak with you, I'm merely going through the motion of normal human emotions, if, at this moment, a child stepped into the street, and was run over by a moving carriage, I would, honestly, feel nothing" he licked his lips lightly, pulling the bottle of Vodka from his bag, taking a sip off it.
"my emotions are all but nonexistant..." he breathed.
Juneau's ears drooped, tail as well, even his head hung a bit.
Ugh no she blushed that
She avoided his eyes petting Juneau it's just you seem to like punishing yourself she said
Bartleby thought this over.
He watched him pull out the vodka. "Do you just ignore them? Or is your mind like your eyes, unnatural?" he asked.
Faunet; "isn't that what
"isn't that what masochism is? punishing oneself?" he smiled slyly.
"ah, but no, it brings me, what do you call, pleasure, there is always pleasure in pain" he lit a cigarette, blowing a few well practiced smoke rings.
Ginger;
he smiled, "pain is passion is poetry" he said simply.
"as for my mind...well, I've never had especially strong emotions, I did have them of course but..." he paused, "they say that, eventually, after years of something horrific happening to someone on a daily basis...they'll simply lock their emotions away...and may even begin to enjoy it...mine weren't even locked away they just...dissapeared...I suppose you could call it stockholm syndrome, or some twisted version of it... another pause, "but that story, is very long, and very bloody, and rather repetetive and boring, unless you were there of course"
"Obviously not." he said. He
He held out a pale hand, gently coaxing the wolf over. "Maybe that's why I'm so unsure of myself..." he wondered aloud.
Ginger; "it's always been an
"it's always been an art to me, pain, the passion behind it all" he smiled a bit, "maybe I am insane, but if I am I'm not hurting anyone else in it"
he watched Juneau happily bounce over again to cuddle with Bartleby, head in his lap once more.
"as for Juneau...we have a special...bond" he said simply, taking another drink from the bottle he held.
"To think that way, you may
"By the way, I doubt if you care. But I'll tell you anyway. My first name is Faith, Bartleby is just my family name." he paused, rather astounded that he had told an almost complete stranger this, and was even more flabbergasted by his next comment. "Call me which one you like more." Yes, this man was an outsider. To Bartleby, it didn't matter now if he knew his first name.
"do I?" he paused, "I've done
"Faith... the ability to believe in something no matter what, or no matter how horrible things seem." he smiled, a soft laugh leaving him.
"wherever were you when I was young" he joked, putting the lid on the bottle and putting it away.
"my names each tell a story, but all the same, none have any real meaning, no rhyme or reason..." he paused, "both your names are very nice" he complimented, a rare thing for him to do.
Show off she muttered well
Faunet; he smiled. "they say
he smiled.
"they say people do the things they're best at" he stated simply, removing the cigarette when it had nearly burnt out, pressing it against his wrist until it went out before discarding it.
no pain was shown during or after it, he had done it the same way some might take a drink of water.
"Horrible? The only horrible
"I don't think I'll ever know why my parents would name me something like that. Well... maybe... I have an older sister named Nippers. Such an awful name! It was probably out of spite for her gender. When I was born, I guess they just had, pardon the pun, 'faith' in me." he cocked his head and laughed, a light, cheerful sound.
"Really? Your first name, Alaska. It has meaning to me. Because that's what I thought of when I saw your eyes." he smiled for the first time. "A name can mean something and be subtle about it, you know."
"maybe...maybe" he
"my eyes, my name, even him, have much in common" he laughed softly.
"if I told you exactly what I was, you would think I was truly insane though" he tilted his head again, "not that I care, of course, but insane all the same is not something I would like others thinking when they think of me" he brushed his hair back again, soft as silk locks running easily through his fingers.
Ah, he made a good point.
"Insanity is better than the other things people could call you." he said. "Many people that know of me think I'm nothing more than a homosexual whore. To me, being declared insane would cause much less hatred." But perhaps not... After all, it was because of those rumors that Jergens had found him. Maybe they weren't totally bad.
"I may as well wear the nae
he would not tell most who he was, what, he was, really only others like him generally knew, as well as a few high ups in various governments.
"My name is Alaska, I was found by Canada, raised by him, taken away by Russia, and purchased for next to nothing by America" he laughed humorlessly once.
"I am, to put it simply, the human representation, of the state Alaska"
Bartleby pondered this over.
"I don't think of you as insane. However, I do think of you as tragic." he eyes suddenly flashed in anger. "Human beings don't deserve to be sold... How could anyone think of something so cruel?" he calmed himself, more afraid that he would hurt himself rather than cause a scene. Such subjects always had a way of making him angry.
"Tragic?...maybe, heh..." he
"I'm no human, a simple representation of land to be purchased and sold as pleased, I accept my life"
he tilted his head again.
"you're kind to care though" he stated softly, "it could very well be worse, they could decide Alaska should not exist, that I should die" he smiled again, "erased off the map...that would be a tragedy..."
"Yes, tragic. To be nothing
He paused for a moment. "Is there one for every territory? Not just you and the other two you spoke of?" he asked softly.
Sh winced as she watched she
Ginger; he smiled,
he smiled, nodding.
"from the greatest country, to the smallest territory" he assured, "can you believe I have forty nine siblings?...I only ever knew a few" he said softly.
"oh?" he shrugged, "kindess is seen in different ways I suppose"
Faunet;
he laughed once.
"there is no danger without pain" he nearly glared.
"no, you don't love danger, you love the idea of danger, the rush, the rebellion of it all, but one cannot love danger without loving pain, they are far too intertwined" he stated simply.
