*Will put more info later*

EDIT: Coding is a pain in the ass; I'm sorry that the one chorus line isn't colored, but the coding won't let it work, and I've been trying to fix it for the last 5-10 minutes. I'm fed up with trying to fix it.

I really wish I could have remembered what I wrote out originally, because I know for a fact that it was twice as epic as what I've rewritten. FML =/

Story's told in Myu's POV, but it's not all blue, because I want people to actually read it, and not bitch about how the text is hurting their eyes. Blue text signifies speech only in this one.

Song lyrics used are from the song "Manic," by Plumb.

::Nothing I Say Will Wash It Away::

She breathes in,
She breathes out...

The sun peeks through the trees, touching me, caressing me, as if trying to bring out of this sorry, miserable state.

It could be worse, it seems to say.

Bullshit, I spit back, my anger seeping, like a wound left to fester.

Oasis and the fawn may have cheered me up, but only slightly.

Just slightly.

When Oasis left, and the fawn went to romp with others of their age, I retreated back to the comfort of the Ruins, allowing my thoughts to tear me asunder again, like a predator lustfully ripping his prey apart.

It's not my fault. It's not my fucking fault.

She wakes up,
And lays down...

A quiet snorting noise cuts the air. Glancing down at the white doe sleeping beside me, my mind beings to boil over, like water left to heat too long.

She sleeps so quietly, so soundly, as if nothing can bother her. She is a blanket of diamond snow in a world of plain dirt.

Kita...your fur is so white, so pure, how can you be an abomination, as he puts it?

Ohmigawd, fail chapter is FAIL. I really wanted to get at least one chapter out before the end of the weekend, and to be honest, this is the weakest writing yet. It didn't help that my mind was on a few other things, and it sucks that even the music was fully helping my mind sort things out.

So...in short, I'm sorry for the sucky chapter, but this is gonna have to do for now Dx

EDIT: OHSH- I almost forgot.

You may be wondering why I called this "alternate" forest, "Chornaya." Well, I wanted to create a name that would go with the "mood" of that overall world. "Chornaya" is the Russian word for "Black." So in essence, it's implying that it's a "black" world, where barely anything can survive.

And before anyone calls me out, claiming me as a wannabe Russian, think again. I took Russian for several years in high school. That's how I know.

Anyways, onto the story.

>>>::Spooky Scape::<<<

We fear what we do not know. We do not fear what we know.

And yet, what happens if what we know is what we’re supposed to fear?

Wolves.

Creatures of beauty.

Creatures of destruction.

Stories of them are nothing but intricate tales of betrayal, of chaos, of death. Dreams of growls, of fangs, of saliva plague the minds of the feeble, often causing many to break out in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. For many years, the wolves and deer had their own opinions of each other, one whispering venom about the other. The wolves occupied a forbidden region of the Forest, a place where no sane deer dare tread.

PLEASE do not spell Myu~! I've already seen several fawns spell her, and, as much as it's nice of them to do so, it's getting a little annoying. I'd appreciate it if nobody spells her unless she asks.

This especially goes when she's sleeping. If she's asleep, it means I'm either busy, or just not around period. I just came back from a fire drill in my dorm, and I found that she had been pelt spelled. I would greatly appreciate if you please respect her at least enough to not spell her when she's asleep.

Thank you. Have a fun time in the Forest~!

Love,
Brittany and Myu <3

Myu's coming of age has finally come, and she's finally a full grown doe with her own set~!

Yes, it has been a long road, and I would not have done it without the help I received.

Indeed, which is why we are extending our thanks for the following~!

Um...I don't mean to be rude, but I honestly don't know the names of any of the deer. Please, if you see these, let me know who you are, so I can properly thank you =)



Kind stag, you're the one who got it all going for me. You and several others took time out of your day to aid me in getting my mask. I cannot thank you enough for that. However, I regret to inform that while trying to obtain a pelt, I fell into the river and lost my mask...Again, I am so sorry to have wasted your time only to fall into the water like that...



Your patience was important as well. I apologize for being so confusing and annoying...but thanks to you, I was able to get the pelt I wanted. I cannot thank you enough for that.



Your picto is very familiar to me, and yet, I cannot put a name to the face. But you are the one who endured my pestering questions, and offered me my antlers. I cannot thank you enough for that.

EDIT: That's Tally, isn't it? xD;;



And you...how happy I am that I understood your cue and followed you to the trees. You supplied me with the final masterpeice, the mask I had been seeking. Not to mention, how you've played with me and kept me company has left me very happy indeed. I am very pleased to meet you, and I pray that we shall see and play with each other again...

Can you find Myu?

Sorry, no prizes for getting it right, I'm just in a random mood, and I felt like posting this 8D



EDIT: Ocean found her, in like...2 seconds 8D



EDIT: Alright, how about THIS!? 8D

Well, again, Myu was being social, and decided to participate in the Lightbringers Festival. Looks like she missed the main crowd, but she still had quite a bit of fun. So I took some screencaps, and made 2 videos for it.

I apologize for the video to be in crap quality. I don't have Fraps nor Hypercam, so I used my digital camera instead.

As you guys will probably know, that is NOT THE INGAME MUSIC. IT'S MUSIC FROM MY WINAMP LIST.

Yes, I like to play with my own music playing. 'Cause I'm a jerk like that 8D

The music playing is called "Melody," and is from the OST for an anime called Pandora Hearts. Check the anime and OST out. NAO. They're both awesome >(

The only deer I can list off hand are Garth and Kita. If your deer are in these pictures or video, please let me know, so I can make an accurate list~!

Anyways, I'll start with the pictures:

Myu dancing with a stag that invited her to dance; several others jumped in after that:



This picture makes me lol every time. It's like they're staring in her soul:



All of us laying down together (Garth spelled Myu, that's why she looks different) <3



The orange stag got a pelt change >D



After everyone started leaving, Myu left to sleep in the Ruins - it is here that she encounters two deer that she doesn't know (One of them spelled her):



They finally leave, and she's finally left on her own:



And it's time...for t3h videoz~! 8D

Well, Myu was actually in a pretty good mood yesterday, and was feeling quite social. That, and I decided to post some pictures because I felt like it =3

Please note: If you're in these photos, and I don't know who you are (Pigwidgeon is the only I can ID out of all these pictures), please let me know, so I can edit the blog~! Thanks ^^


Kita, and an unknown deer that Myu played with in the Forest. She had a lot of fun playing with them around with them (Unfortunately, she still can't ID the black and white, so I have no clue who they are, or what human they're from ^^;; )



Again, this time just Kita. The black and white one disappeared shortly after the above photo.



And let's start...the mystery of the motionless stag~!

Myu saw him earlier, but didn't really pay him any mind...until she noticed Pigwidgeon and another deer near him (Yes, Myu actually remembers a deer. Holy crap.)



More goofing around...and he STILL doesn't move...



......................



Methinks someone forgot to log off >D

Alright, I combined two days, and also left out some things as well. Still, I actually kinda like this chapter...at least we get a little change to the dream here. I might actually be able to wrap this story up sooner that I thought I would.

And that...might be a good thing >.>;

EDIT: Blah, now that I think about it, I think I rambled about the ruins a tick too long...granted, it's my favorite place in the whole game, and I did try and incorporate the real story behind it, but...yeah...Dx

Anyways, on with the story~!

>>>::Scare Shadow::<<<

The Ruins - A place of broken beauty, of solace and despair, a place of songs and cries.

Never sleep within its shadow, they always said.

It will tear out your soul, leaving you as an empty container, a perfect prey for the starved.

The brave few who did dare to sleep within its shadow were never heard from again. Any who stumbled across the crumbling fortress found nothing living there…within the shadows of the Ruins, nothing strived to live, not even the tiniest blade of grass.

But they did find a rather curious sight.

Small, white orbs raced frantically through the air, as if trying to escape from their very selves. And yet, whenever they reached a certain distance from the Ruins, they were seemingly thrown backwards. It was as if the Ruins had a mind of its own, not allowing its victims to free themselves from the misery their mistakes had cost them.

For the longest time, no one ever set foot there again. The deer within the forest learned to respect the Ruins; to them, the Ruins were alive, and were starved of the souls of helpless deer. They believed that one day, the souls would finally fade away, killing the Ruins, and making it safe to venture there again.

*Sigh* Remember when I said I would revive the diary entries I deleted? Well, here's the first one finally~! Don't expect anything special or good, it's kinda late, and my head's a little foggy Dx

Just as a note, yeah, Myu does seem pretty angsty, but, considering the circumstances, and what I'm planning, it's all I got at this rate. Come to think of it, I might have to edit her bio AGAIN.

>.>

P.S. Diary titles are actually the titles of the tracks from the OST for a visual novel called "Saya no Uta." 'Tis an awesome soundtrack <3

>>>::Seek::<<<

Sunlight; ever so warm…soothing to the heart.

A field of purple flowers…a light, sweet scent dances through the air.

A low, humming song…eerie, yet beautiful, breaks the silence of the woods.

A presence…nurturing, loving, ensures her safety.

Sleep…a world of endless possibilities, quietly whispers to her.

Who is this, who lays by me?

Who is this, whose song betrays this silence?

What is this feeling, this emotion, that makes my heart flutter?

Is a friend? A relative?

Is it even a deer? Or something else?

The voice is airy, obviously a female’s voice. She wishes to raise her head, to see the being
lying beside her.

And yet, sleep whispers more desperately, wanting to seduce her into nothingness…

It’s almost as if…she’s not meant to know who it is.

Drip…drip…drip.

What is this upon my nose?

Drip…drip…drip.

Is that…

Drip…drip…drip…

Rain?
