"I could hear you...
I tried to shout, to tell you that the branches had bound themselves to me, taken root to the ground. The colours of everything, including that of myself have been drained by this blackness... Autumn has not left me. She is here, in my unmoving body with my stolen heartbeat. But I assure you that I am still here."
"I cannot be selfish. No. I cannot allow myself to wallow in self-pity, to beg and plead for others to console me and these destroying thoughts. By doing so, Autumn's infectious sludge will only grow. My mind may have been thrown to the wolves, but for now they stand in wait at my throat, prowling and looking for a way in. I cannot let them pass by dwelling on such unwelcome feelings."
"Please, come to me, but not to tell me everything will be okay. Not to tell me that I can fight, and not to tell me how sorry you feel for not being able to help; for not being able to move the impassible logs..."
"Impassible. That is how many of us feel sometimes, left behind afloat in troubled waters; we hit a wall when our strength to carry on through personal battles is lost in a sea of self doubt and worry. But in the end it is just a log... You must step over it and continue the path that, in truth, is not blocked at all."
"So please, come to me. Tell me of what worries you; tell me of your burdens. Ask me why, ask me how. Tell me the stories and reasons why you are angry, why you are sad. Tell me of the logs blocking your path. If this is it, I wish to forsake any pity, any selfishness to help you. You, the forest I love so dearly."
"You may not be able to move the logs that trap my body, but I will help to move yours."

Community Instructions
Unlike the Winter event, this will be more of a community site event rather than in-forest. There are many colourful deer who have various problems and insecurities, and Iaurdagnire - who is always willing to help - would like to listen to them. You may write them in a reply as a simple question/conversation, or in role-play form if you wish to be creative! Either way, it is Iaurdagnire who will talk and answer to you. There is no limit to how many times you may reply; if Dag has said something your character wishes to question, you may continue replying - role-playing - to your heart's content.
This entry will be updated at the end of each day with Dag's replies to your posts (this is simply so I don't need to bump down the diary list by updating every time someone is answered).
In-forest:
If you wish to "act out" your role-play reply to this blog, or simply wish to be around him for your own use, Dag will be in and out of the forest during this time so you can do so. Dag might also speak about those who come and be around him even if they have nothing to say (this is to be considerate to particularly shy and quite characters). If he speaks about someone in-forest, his speech will be coloured red.
Aim of the Game:
To enable your character(s) to be sad, be angry, be hateful, and have someone to listen, take notice, and not forget them.
I hope you enjoy the saddest music on earth, and have fun telling your tales of woe. Hopefully Dag's understanding will help sooth some troubled hearts =)

Iaurdagnire's Words
Red = Dag's response in-forest characters.
Saosin
"
It is wrong to think that we must be there, that it is our duty to be there for someone else at every moment. All we can do is be there when they truly wish for us to help them, whether they ask, or whether they silently plea for our side by sitting and hiding alone. The key to being the friend you want to be is knowing when to drop and risk everything for them, even if they refuse you.
You feel you are pushing others away because you are clinging so desperately to what makes you happy as if it will escape you if given the chance, and therefore you have no room to embrace others and what could be. Even heros are allowed to be insecure, Saosin. Your salvation will lie in the ability to trust yourself and to not be afraid; only when you trust yourself will you be able to trust others fully. For my friend, you are the most loyal creature I know, but you are blinded by your need to devote yourself to every friend you make and so are afraid of letting them down, fearing that you will lose them forever in doing so. What happened between you and Garth is regretful, but realizing and making amends was a necessary battle for you - both of you - to go through.
There will always be ups and downs, comings and goings between friends, Saosin. It is an inevitability, and you must not fear them if you trust in yourself to be able to confront and mend the broken hearts. Because one of those hearts will always be yours, and you only have one."
Enigima
"More was said in the single bow you gave me than any words I can offer you in return, Sir Enigima."
Toukan
"Toukan, I now understand why you appear restrained, like you are holding back even in play. Let me say now that friendships that turn 'awkward' and are destroyed by such confessions, are not friendships at all. I see not why my feelings towards you should change; your life is none but yours and yours alone and there is no power within me to tell you otherwise. I can see why the rut must have unsettled you... we are not all driven by baser instincts.
If you love your friend and respect them as they must surely respect you, you must tell them; I trust you would expect the same if you were placed in her position. I cannot lie in saying that there will not be repercussions for both of you, but any upset - large or small - that is caused will inevitably pass. To be true to oneself is to wear ones heart on the outside, and you have evidently hidden yours well. Have the courage to show who you truly are, because that is all friends want from you."
Virgil
"Virgil... perhaps one does not need to know the past to understand a present mind. True, whatever happened may have shaped you into the gentle Stag you are today, but the choice to leave the past where it lies is only down to you, regardless of others you may have shared it with. I'm not saying you need to suppress, to forget, to hide from it. You know the meaning of respect well, don't you, Sir? That is the only thing the past asks of anyone. Not to be dwelled on, not to be questioned; it cannot be changed nor reconciled. It can only be respected, bowed to when a memory arises, and left where it belongs."
Noelle
"Beautiful, kind, sweet Noelle. Those who are playing by the Pond are free in their moment; I am not concerned with them just as much as they are not concerned with me... loving the forest unconditionally is simply acceptance of what lives within it, not how they live within it. You are too concerned about others and what should and should not be done, how they should and should not act; therein lies your reasons to find yourself withdrawn. In your solitude, I believe that because of this you are not alone or imprisoned. You care enough to see who will break down any walls you build, yet... in a particular smile you will lay another stone just so you have something you can hold on to if things fall apart. But the more we try to justify ourselves, the more we become lost in over-encrypted poetries about why we are who we are and whether we deserve what we want. To be rewarded.
Some dreams and fantasies are never meant to be realized... I do not know what you're looking for, but all I know is that you will court grey clouds with the hope of rain, but will be given light instead. Life has a funny way of rewarding those who never realize they did anything at all."
Garth
"... Dandelions will often grow where some other flowers cannot; they are not so delicate as they may seem and will blossom regardless of anything that tries to uproot them. The Dandelion in the Poppies... Why do you assume it is alone? Dandelions always surround themselves with friends; they are never alone, and will stay when many others will wilt and fall away. If you truly see yourself as a Dandelion, then you will be unmoved by the premature pressures that lay on your shoulders. It is natural for a first time mother to feel worried, afraid of the responsibility of giving life. But you seem to care about everything and everyone else but yourself, and that is why you are conscious that you may not be able to give your child all it needs. I know that you, Garth, have a kind and tender heart that cannot be denied, and even in your anger you cannot help but profusely apologize to protect yourself and retain your delicate air. All a child needs is their Mother's love and the help to take those tiny steps into the world. Your Mother may have orphaned you, but surely that is the best reason in the world to love your own with all your heart. And I believe you will.
The canary yellow will always sing, because it is the brightest star among the uniform somber red. You just need to change the way you see that Poppy patch, my friend."
Fay
"Fay... Dag will play with Fay again soon... Dag promise."
Coy
"You are young to this forest, aren't you Miss Coy. It is alright to be shy and see you family as a sanctuary, to feel safe and protected around them; it is what a family is for. So you need not feel hindered by keeping your Father and Brother so close. If fact, you have what many deer can only wish for. But friends, love, and your own family can only come with time, and time demands the patience for you to grow. You need not be in such a rush, young Coy, for you still have a lot to learn. Wonder, dream about what may come - do not settle for such simple aims for your adult life - because nothing is ever black and white. Your shyness may not disappear, but it will get better when you see that putting your trust into someone other than your family is the way forward. This forest is a colourful place; there are many walks of life and I understand it may seem scary at times. But take it from me when I say you are not the only one who hides behind the familiar.
Trust me when I say that... a bow from a stranger is a powerful thing. All it will take is just one brave moment for you to bow back, even at a distance. All friendships start with such a simple gesture. Think of it as kicking the smallest stone into the greatest Pond; the ripples will only grow."
Azazel
"Autumn has left you nothing here, Azazel."
Cloud
"I think you have been happy, Cloud. It may have only been for a moment - in a leap or a dance with friends - but you have been happy. However, such memories as your friend Sky overshadow these feelings if you keep looking back. I have never known hindsight to ever be a good thing; we will all spend forever wishing we had made the other choice, wishing we had been a little bit braver... but second guessing ourselves only drags us further down. It is worse when we give ourselves a label - a title -, therefore I do not have one, and I'll tell you why. The instant we name ourselves, commit to a word that denotes purpose, we become obsessed. Obsessed with upholding that word and creating a half-hearted path on which we force ourselves to travel on. Trying to decide what to do, what to say, how to act based upon it; rarely do we listen to our hearts in this state of mind. I don't think you are a protector, Cloud, but you mustn't misconstrue this as a bad thing. I believe if you forget about this word, you will be able to find your way again.
And... all of us are afraid of death. We fear it because we know that death is not a choice; only when our time has truly come do we accept and embrace it. You do not wish for death, Cloud. You wish for guidance, and a way out of your inner turbulence."
Safear
"Despite your appearance, you are one of many fragile hearts that simply crave understanding, Safear. A small, delicate doe who may question themselves just like you, will see you and wish to have such a presence among others and be loved just as much. But you may look at them and wish to forsake your predatory scales in favour of the skin of prey, and to be the same as the rest of the herd. You see, changing physical aspects of ourselves will seldom change our attitude and how we look at the world. Then again, I think your mind is already in the right place, save for one desire.
I admire your strength of heart; I hear you are known as 'The Kind Hearted'? Nature dictates that we be afraid of an appearance such as yours, but we are not. I only needed to see you once to know that what I saw did not reflect what you are. Forgive me for quoting such an over-used phrase, however true it is; looks are, and always will be, only skin deep. But to describe yourself as 'mangled'... my, how we exaggerate when we want something so desperately. Yes, it is painful to see others display their love for one another so openly, in fact, it makes one feel completely alone even when surrounded by friends. It is a pain we all endure before we find the other half of ourselves... but the truth is, not one Stag nor Doe has ever searched and found their true love. It cannot be searched for. Love is a desire that fulfills itself, with no schedule of when or where."
Fallen
"We have met more than once, Fall. In fact, you were one of the last I was with before-...
Nobody likes to be alone. I am glad you do not feel alone, not truly, sitting here next to me. A mark of true friendship is the ability to be around one another not particularly needing to talk or do anything; simply let time eat away in the silence; in the purest form of company. Presence is all we need to feel comforted... you are brave to let others venture into yours. Though you will seem afraid when such instances occur, and you will perhaps sit the furthest away to distance yourself, but you do not flee at the mere sight of another face.
You are braver than you think you are, Wanderer."
Silence
Oseaan
"Oseaan... even behind these closed eyes, I can still see you. Everything about you I have committed to my memory... You. You and I. How could I possibly pick a favourite when we have so much more to create together..."
His brow twitches briefly, unnoticed.
"I want to tell you so many things, but I mustn't. I will not allow myself to even indulge in the thought of last chances to tell you those three simple words... Never will I wish to tell you like this. But please, just know that I have and always will be undeniably yours. Darling, I promise that we will have forever together. Forever to chase away the thunderstorms with smiles, forever to lay close and watch the lazy world go by. As long as my time is spent with you, it need not slow; every time we touch, the seconds turn to hours, and I can spend days in your gaze. I cannot stop you from worrying, but I know that you will always keep us alive every time your playful soul makes someone else smile. Think of all our tomorrows - all our blue mysteries - and the day I will come home to you."
A teardrop stains the earth, unnoticed.
Amary
"Amary, you are one after my own heart. I detest fighting, and so never lower my antlers; I simply get in the way and do all I can to part senseless antler-bashing. Rearing, shaking my head, generally being a nuisance and enduring the egotistical nonsense until the beasts eventually get bored. You mustn't let them indulge, see any concern as it will only spur them on - thinking what they are doing is of the utmost importance, that others care about how brave and strong they are in clashing with their foes. Sometimes it only takes one to scoff at their stupidity for them to think better of themselves, but unfortunately some are more persistent than others. It is difficult, nigh impossible to change the nature of those who do abuse their crowns. Fighting, aiming to harm whoever it is in your wake that has hurt you so and defeating them does not make anyone a hero, or a knight to whisk away a swooning princess. The pursuit of true righteousness, true triumph of morality is when the aggressor's resistance is annihilated without drawing blood. Your are right in your belief that fighting is not necessary - do not let this hidden strength be diluted by seeing a battle close to your heart. This stag friend of yours, by the sounds of it, is acting in such a way because he has no desire to confront the feelings he has about the one who is not worthy for anyone in his eyes. Until they both come to terms, I suggest you keep yourself out of their quarrels.
Perhaps I may be able to end on a lighter note... thinking as deeply as your are about these new feelings, Amary, it is plain to see that you and only you can decide on what these feelings for this fellow mean. Forever is a wonderfully long time, isn't it?"
Maia
"I cherish the rarity of your presence... thank you for coming to see me."
Ravenflight
"Words travel perhaps a little too quickly in this forest, for I know what has befallen you even though we have never met, Ravenflight. The loss you have suffered is a tragedy for one so loved, and I fear that words will never be of any comfort to your fractured heart. But to fear loving again? There is never a moment when the loss of love is not risked, my dear. When it is lost, we are grief-stricken; our soul is shattered, as you must know all too well. But there is no greater pain than never risking love again. The loss becomes that much greater as we loose ourselves in emptiness; the pain becomes eternal.
I understand that you are afraid, and I think you need someone to tell you that it is alright to feel how you feel. No-one can tell you to feel otherwise, or tell you how you can bring yourself to love and be loved regardless of what feelings you have. All that matters is that you have the will to say that you want to find it again. Simply saying it shows that you are thankful for your life even when it feels like you have nothing left. Time will show you that loss is lost, and it is what you do with what's left that forms a new path that was perhaps always there, albeit a little overgrown and neglected. I have confidence in your strength... and I am not the only one."
SS
"One who never speaks yet is known and called a friend by so many... I must confess that I have nick-named you 'The Social Butterfly'. I remember spending many of my early days alone with you, sitting in mushroom circles and turning each other into all manor of creatures. I am glad you have not become a stranger to me."
Kaoori
"They exist as long as we think of them, Kaoori; it is only when we let our memories die do we suffer the loss that is greater than their death. I believe that those who have left this world are galloping in the next, and they will cheer for us through the other side when it is time for us to leave this earth and join them. I feel Wudiin's gaze every time the moon is full, and I know I am not alone... Listen to what you feel, and you will find that your questions may already be answered."
Zelig
"Ah, love cannot exist without heartache. Without it, love scarcely makes any sense; it is both painful and euphoric at the very same time. But the fact of the matter is, you can never choose who you love and you cannot force yourself into love, the same as you cannot force someone to love you back, which you have realized. You have made the right choice in not pursuing a doe who is otherwise taken - the fact that you have withdrawn yourself so honorably is very respectable indeed, Sir. But it strikes me perhaps that feelings for Lady Gwenhywfar grew simply because you have become so close. Love also masquerades as a passing crush from time to time, but only is its mask unveiled when those feelings dissipate; you must endure your heartache a little longer.
Though... this sickness you feel conflicts with my last thought. It sounds like your dizzy spells are because you are not eating and drinking properly, which means you sleep but not very well; therefore you find your body trying so hard to rest. Sounds an awful lot like Love-sickness, for which there is no plant, my dear friend."
Seed
"Such is the burden of being a poet. Yes? No? You are too aware of your freedom to choose, Seed, and that is why you are questioning your past decisions. It doesn't matter if you made the right or wrong choice, the fact of the matter is that whatever passed is now foreign. You were not then who you are now. Whatever decisions you made are what brought you here to this moment... as important as they may seem, your questions are irrelevent to who you are and who you will be tomorrow.
There are only two choices in life. One is easy, and one is hard. The only reward of taking the easy route is simply the fact that it is easy; it is easy for you - for anyone - to question their past, and the more you dwell the quicker you sink. Getting out of the quicksand: that is the hard choice."
Noelle (second response)
"... Noelle, look at me. Vengeance, the desire to harm... it is poison. I beg of you to not follow Saosin's example and lower you head and be part of what you hate about the forest. I beg of you..."
A glob of sludge bubbles from this throat, unnoticed.
Saiyko
"You honoured me with a lone bow; thank you. May I give you my congratulations as well, Sir, as a... Father you are soon to become."
Kire
"I cannot see you, stranger, and I'm afraid I do not understand all what you have said. But... you speak like deer, think like deer... are afraid like deer, run like deer.
They say it is the visually impaired deer that leap the highest. I personally believe the wounded deer are the ones who can clear the moon when in danger. You are not wounded in the literal sense, but suffering in a body that was not deemed your original form is perhaps far worse.
If I open my eyes, perhaps I, too, will be one of the many who fear your appearance. We are creatures of instinct; you must know this, and therefore you must not judge others for fleeing and instead understand their reaction. The only comfort I can give to you is that upon opening my eyes, I will not judge you, and approach you with the same understanding in return."
Toxic
"The punishment of ones own remorse is very severe. You were angry because no-one seemed to care, and those who did seemed to out of pity for your loneliness... I can only speculate that this is perhaps how you saw their attention. Loneliness is an inevitable experience that is the most damning... it takes more than one person to create a smile. But mix this lonely feeling with illness and one can become volatile and sensitive to things that aren't really there. Even if you hurt your friends during this time, you can still make amends if you are truly regretful of your actions.
You mustn't be afraid of finding them to apologize for whatever you have done; remember that what we run from also runs from us. You cannot spend any more time fleeing from your own mistakes... Go to them and offer your apologies - explain to them why you acted in such a way - and in doing so, you will confront yourself and this monster you fear."
Queze
"You are the second who has come to me in a form I am not familiar with, Sir. Your touch is strange to me, yet, oddly comforting... I thank you for it, though I am struggling to picture what your hooves look like; if they are hooves at all.
Ah, yes, you like so many others question every fiber of your being when a part of you has been something which you now feel differently about. I trust you have not killed in this forest?
Doubt is especially uncomfortable and frustrating, like an insect bumbling in ones eye-line and refusing to leave. Doubt can also kill... I would liken it to a mosquito, not that I wish to stray too far into metaphors. You see, the more we think about our doubts, the more we meander and forget about why we are having them in the first place; they are most absurd. Instead of asking yourself "What if I did this?", one should ask "What would I do - or have done - the day after?". If still in doubt of your answer, then the simple solution and definitive action is to not do it.
Certainty is equally as ridiculous. I don't believe it exists, for the moment we are asked, "Are you sure?" About anything at all, doubt swiftly follows. But I know you understand this - yourself - quite well already..."
Spyrre
"Oh Spyrre, I don't believe for a moment that you'd fail at anything you'd try. In fact, without trying, how do you know if you'll fail or not? My friend, you perhaps have the greatest log of all to shift; you fear failure. It is the hardest barrier to break through, and will always stop you from succeeding in what you want. But please, don't think for a moment I could possibly be angry at you for not trying to move the log like the others.
I haven't known you for very long, but not once did I see or feel that you were in the way of whatever it is you feel you are in the way of. Perhaps it is that you are unsure of what is expected of you, or that no-one has told you things about yourself that you didn't even realize. I for one believe the forest needs more deer like you, Spyrre. You are friendly, ever so playful, and you never fail to put smiles on peoples faces; whether you interfere with the business of others is of no importance, and speaks your caring and careful air. Wanting to help others does not mean you need to be courageous in a physical respect or forcefully interfere with other peoples affairs - you just simply need to be there. Not many are able to do this...
I am immensely proud to call you my friend."
Baal
"I must admit, Baal, that I have always been unsure of you. As most are, I believe. But you were there with Virgil on the night this monstrosity struck, and you were there another day alone... The stories of you frighten me, but I find myself not being able to believe them."
Amary (second response)
"Goodness my dear, you ask so many questions! Your mind flits from a Waltz into a Tango all too quickly; slow down, take your time, otherwise you'll do yourself more harm than good.
It is wonderful that you try to stop fights in a manner that I am too accustomed to, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing so even if you don't seem to succeed. Simply being there and acting is better than not trying at all and will still show whoever's there that you do not stand for such behaviour. You may think people might not notice, but they do. As with your friends... you know them better than I, and the fact that you've not accepted my advice means that you believe you feel you can help them.
'For the greater good' means that your friend believes if he stops the doe from seeing him, then he is doing everyone a favour; thinking that he is saving everyone else some trouble further down the line by keeping him from making friends. But if this stag is willing to change with your doe friend by his side, the one you see as a father figure will only push him away back to where he was before she came along. I'm sorry to say that there are some deer in the forest who I will be glad for you to never cross paths with, but they are the minority who are seldom seen. We all have the capacity to change, providing we are guided by the right person.
As I said to Saosin, if you are feeling torn between friends you need to simply be there for them when they truly need you. It may not be all the time - we all have our own support systems - but to know when you're needed is a gift and a talent that simply needs realizing. Don't feel you need to be there for everyone just to be duteous as a friend. You need to be duteous as Amary; deep down, you'll feel who needs you when.
And... the feeling you are so worried about sounds to me like love, my dear. But it's not something I can tell you that you are feeling for certain - only you can find it."
Isis
"You are a strong Doe indeed, Isis. I don't think I can give you any more encouragement than what you have already said to yourself! If you believe that one day you will find happiness in someone, then you will, but your fawn will also give you more happiness than you can imagine. Teaching, showing a little version of the best bits of you - and the best bits of Virgil - the forest and its magic; I'm sure you are planning places to take them already. The funny thing about children is that they often give their parents more compassion and understanding for things they never noticed before; perhaps when your fawn is born, the forest will be a slightly difference place ... In a brilliant way, of course."
Plumeria
"Your name is not as difficult as mine my dear, so I will call you by your full name if that is alright with you, Plumeria, for it is quite a beautiful one that I have not heard before. I cannot help but think 'Bloom' when I hear it...
I have heard many things, but never have I heard a story such as yours. You brought love and triumph to somewhere dark, only for the light to fade. But hope is a powerful thing, and the will to rely on hope is scarce. I for one sincerely hope you have others to hold you up when you are down; when your searches do not bare fruitful.
It is sad to watch petals fall from the most beautiful flower, especially when it is the only one of its kind in a garden. But know this: some things in life must fade away before they can bloom again."
Sithrim
"So you are the one who has captured Maia's heart... fear me not, Sir, for I am a good friend of hers and therefore am having trouble understanding why you are worried for her! She's one of the most sensible, level-headed creatures I've ever had the pleasure of meeting in this forest. This... Ren, I don't believe I've ever heard of him. But I firmly believe that they are no threat, trying as they may be to make you possessive of her. Love is not swayed by such pigheadedness, my friend - you have nothing to fear. Even if Maia was afraid, do you think she would want to see you buckle under his taunts and fight on his terms? Trust has nothing to do with being physically prominent, Sithrim; I bet your presence was enough to calm her. Presence is one of the greatest things we can give to someone and dictates emotions more than we care to notice, which is why we take it for granted.
Though, perhaps me mentioning love was a bit abrupt for a such a gentle soul, for which I apologize; I do not wish to make you more anxious for her than you already are. But isn't it funny how you miss her - occupy your mind with her - when you know you'll see her so soon as the next hour or the next day... Funny indeed, isn't it?"
Wanderers Silent Dream
"I've never known my words to be so true. Presence truly is a powerful thing."
