Because I am insane and often an insomniac, I stayed up 'til 4am to go to the Day of the Dead Abiogenesis. It was really like 5am, due to daylight savings time. 8D;
I somehow took 164 screenshots. XD; Maybe I was unconsciously making up for only taking 10 on Halloween. Or maybe because this event just seemed nicer somehow.
Anyway, I picked out the better ones, but it's still a lot. There are 111 pictures in an album on my Photobucket account. ...whoa. I didn't realize it was that amount 'til now. XD Awesome. Anyway...here they are:
DotD Abio 08
In order of oldest first this time.
It was really nice how we spent time "celebrating" at the Memorial Sunbeam...

Thank you, Michael and Auriea, for such a nice event.

And after it was over...


The return of the house, and bubble-blowing fun in the rain and falling red flowers!

(Though I had to restart to see them. The reset from before the Abio caused some strange stuff to happen. Like...floating masks with pictos.. O.o Michael and Auriea were floating masks to me part of the time.)

Most of the screenshots in this are of sightings of the Ghost Deer. =]
Magnet went to sit with Aspen who was sitting at the Sunbeam. He fell asleep, and she disappeared during that time. And he woke up to Pingüino standing next to him. o.o




Nom antler.

Blue walked around, glad to have the Forest giant zombie free again. The creepy fog and all the zombie-deer were weirding him out.
Cue impromptu game of Devout Tag with Sqish! XD I was having too much fun to take screenshots of it. It ended when they both fell in the pond. I switched to Scape to show Sqish who I was, but I saw he was leaving to get his set, so I had Scape do the same.
He came back in his "evil dove" set. X] Sneezed to zombie and surprised Sqish.
A little later, Laruna turned Scape into a squirrel.

Squirrels are scary?



Scape left for awhile, then I had him come back later. I left the room, came back to the see the internet down, and when I moved the mouse to stop the camera rotating in "spy mode", he was sleep-floating. o.o After I got him down, the reflection went weird.

This normally only happens when I'm offline, but I was connected again and the pictos had spread. O.o
I spotted Nurra walking around, and then she walked by really close.

From hours later, with fawns still able to keep spells. =D

The house in the birch forest.

Halogen lost his face. o.o

Fawn dance line. =]
And that's when my internet kept going psycho before I had to leave for awhile.

Magnet ventured in in search of the house in the birch forest. He had very little luck with the heavy fog, and decided to sit at the Twin Gods statue to listen to the lingering music for awhile. Trying again proved to send him in the right direction, and he met fawn-Halogen on the way, who pointed out the exact spot.

He went fawn for awhile, too. At one point there was a whole "Get off my lawn!" acting. XD
Then the server reset, restoring the foggy weather to normal daylight. But the house remained.

It looks better in the day.


And the pond still seemed to be blood, but it looked like it did before the game fully loaded (blood-pond in daylight).


Then it was back to the house for some more shots.

I somehow managed not to get a lead finger on the P key during the Abio. I didn't wanna end up with 300 shots like last time. So I got *gasp* 10. O.o And they're not all Abio shots!
Here's the album, cuz I'm short on time to link them separately. XD;

Newest one's first for some reason. O.o

Happy Halloween everyone!

Before the Abio starts, I'm gonna clear out my screenshots folder by posting them in a blog. =]
Last night/early morning time, Kinsha was wandering around. He finally approached the BZD without flinching at the wolf howls (or at least not as much), and got the mask. He's not sure what he thinks of it, but kept it for the time. A little later, he went to go back, but saw that the Zombie was gone! o.o Listening proved that he was awake, and had moved to the Playground! The "ninja" got there in time to see the big guy sit down on the stage-like rock. With a little prodding and convincing from me, he sat next to him.



And now, after hearing about the house in the birch forest, and the blood pond, I sent in Magnet to check it out.
The rumors and screenshots don't lie.

The pond was blood...

..yet the Idol's tears remained clear. o.o

The "haunted" house.

Freaky how you can see through the house if you look through the tree branches. O.o

..is it just me, or is there blood in here?

Time to send in Richter to wait for the Abio festivities to begin. X]

Not too much was going on, but I got some nice shots. =]

Scape at the Ruins with the Big Zombie Deer:





The same shot with soft effect on to increase the gloom:



A freaky but interesting glitch at the pond while the BZD was at the Ruins:

Can you spot the glitch? (Because I couldn't hit P in time to show it better.)

Then the "ninja"-deer followed the BZD when he awoke, while still avoiding everyone:

Author's Notes: I had some ideas popping into my head while playing as my ninja-deer Kinsha the other day. A plot formed in my head that just had to be written.
Kinsha is the loner out of my deer. He has no family that we know of. ...or does he? ;]
The first part is loosely based on how I was playing yesterday, while the later part is completely made up.

To part 2=>
Idol Conversation

~*~
His blue gaze rested upon the towering stone monument, its twin streams of water unending in their flow. Unending sorrow.

Sighing, he lowered his head, the smooth surface of the Orca mask over his face resting against the roughness of the Crying Idol.

“Something troubling you?”

At once, the young stag snapped his head back up, scanning the area to find the source of that voice. “Who said…?” he trailed off, seeing nothing, thinking he had imagined it.

Had the ninja been out-ninja’d?

Kinsha shook his head at his own thoughts. He was nowhere near being a ninja, failing to remain hidden most of the time. He was more of an anti-social coward.

“I’m right in front of you,” the voice continued, sounding somewhat amused now.



The stag’s eyes widened, snapping his attention back to the rock structure.

Was it talking to him?!

Soft chuckling came from the stone. “Don’t worry; you are not going crazy.” Ignoring the look of disbelief it was being shot, the voice continued. “You seem…for lack of better word, down. Is something wrong?”

The Big Zombie Deer's influencing all my posts lately.

Ok, so the server was being really weird the other day. I had Magnet in, hoping to see a certain someone, but thanks to the server's glitchiness, they couldn't log in. He got kinda annoyed and...ended up ranting to the dragonflies. ^^;

His mood brightened, though, when Auriea made an appearance! =D At first I wasn't completely sure if that was her picto I was seeing on the border, but then it started to rain. o.o That confirmed it, and the chase was on. It ended in the Blue Bowl with a dance with the God before she faded from the Forest, leaving the rain behind.

I heard that the rain was mixing with the fog around the Big Zombie Deer, so Magnet headed over there to check it out.

The big guy was still out of it.

I think he was pouting then. ^^;
Well..his mood had improved a little, but not enough, so Scape switched in when the crowd got bigger. He got some cool shots of his own.

Check out the Playground. It looked darker out than normal.

Well, technically the first bit is from the 24, but I have only one screenshot from then, and the day was basically over. ^^;
Radeon was walking around enjoying the peace. To be "festive", he decided to wear the zombie antlers. But he soon grew tired of them, as they were awkward (and made it difficult to sit on the Ruins next to the entrance without scraping them against the stone), and decided to go back to his usual normal antlers with poppies. Eventually, he went bare-antlered, going to the Blue Bowl and just let the birds adorn them.


Awhile later, Scape ventured in and found Drium. As well as a strange nameless that wouldn't move. It must've been some kind of glitch deer, because no matter what, it stayed still. Not even an idle movement from it. So they had a bit of fun making it look like they were crunching its neck, "decapitating" it (O.o), and "boot to the head". (XD Nice, Marona.)
Eventually they went to the Playground, button-mashing on the rocks, looking like they were standing on air thanks to the angle of the slab, and then even really being in the air. But that's when Drium had to go....while still air-standing. O.o

Hoping the Big Zombie Deer would make an appearance, Scape went down to the dragonflies to wait.
He didn't show, but Draak and Halogen sure did.

The magpie antlers make me think of handlebars. X]

The Three Stooges?
It grew late, and seemed the BZD wasn't going to show, so Halogen and Scape both called it a night.

The early morning seemed pretty dead. Until Scape ran into a bunch of deer.

I love when random dance lines break out. =] But then everyone started to leave, then the server reset a few times. O.o Only Redkora was still around once it was back to normal.

But tree-dancing is always fun. =D
Then Redkora had to go, too, so Scape was alone. He started heading back to his sleeping spot, when a random deer called out and came over after the answering call.

They were kinda fun, but didn't stay for long. (Username is "Corridor".) Scape called it a night then.

An hour later, I looked at the map to see that the Big Zombie Deer was back in the Forest!
Richter ran in, hoping to get the set, but found him sleeping as a frog in the pond.

Richter & Mania: *stare*
With staring proving fruitless to wake the BZD up, I began to wonder if Richter could possibly still cast on him in that form. Problem was, Mania wasn't going anywhere, making it hard to aim. I decided to try hiding some of the players. With that problem solved, Richter moved closer to the edge of the pond, careful not to fall in. Luckily, the BZD had fallen asleep close enough to the bank. She cast.
And it worked! =D Soon, Richter had the full zombie set!

I think she likes it too much. It makes her feel evil. O.o
With the zombie deer in the Forest, and knowing he could be cast on, Richter left so Radeon could switch in.
All he wanted were the antlers, which look good with the red pelt.
