Djinn
Djinn, interesting you are to answer me so hastily... you perhaps are not as close Iaurdagnire as to doubt my intention. Good... very good, though female, I am sure that attitude may be useful.
Lacie
Interesting creature, aren't you? Far be it from me to force you, shifter. Do as you will Lacie; I have nothing on you.
Virgil
Hmn-hn... Alas, Virgil, you continue to resist my calls into the gutter. Very naughty, stealing your name away out of this forest - I would have gladly kept it safe for you. Do promise me that when you are called away forever, you leave it with me as a parting gift, hm? Oh do not worry, I'm sure it'll be very much at home with me and the old ones who know it so well. But, to the present... well, even I cannot tell whether you are strong enough to do what I may very well end up asking of you. In exchange for what I am after, of course.
Quad
Abandon? Such a strong word. I am offering to help your friend in exchange for a mere favour, and you speak as if I am condemning him to hell. Hmn-hn, your friendship cannot help him in what must be done, Quad.
Queze
Mine pleasures are but to dance with you when given my hollow breath of air. Today, I do not ask for the world or your presence, Queze, something far far simpler.
Ravenflight
Oh how I long to pull that flower from the earth... trust mortals to bestow a sense of treasure on something so widely available. Nn, no harm you say? No. No, of course not. Not from you, Ravenflight.
Ephiré
Ah, now there is an answer to an ambiguous question. Ephiré is strong, unmoving... powerful... yes, you are perfect for what must eventually come.
Sanguine
My-my. Hmn-hn, mine will be done, at your move. I can ask you to take one step, but not control which way you decide to take it, or how far, Sanguine.
Fikos
Why, hello Fikos, young life. Such a dangerous place you decide to tread - among giants no less! Little one, you have no business with me yet, but life you will learn is a game... and it is a game I provide. Enjoy, my dear. Enjoy.
Melusine
His safety will be compromised... but safe, yes, he will be. Such a kind and soft doe you are, Melusine... Careful.
Starling
Your friend once said that there is a difference between wisdom and intelligence. Intellect may teach one to avoid harm, and protect someone from it. Wisdom may well show you to do the opposite for a greater victory.
Gehirn
Death can offer you nothing but something to live for, in showing you that you are willing to die for it. Hmn-m... Gehirn, it'll take more than just you to push that immovable giant into realising this.
Kaoori
Speak not to me about trust, Mother of three. Your child dances freely in my sky.
Zacharias
Ah, good... very good... but a reward may be something you cannot avoid, young guardian.
Illrose
Well my dear, you remember him now? You are a great asset in war, Illrose, but perhaps this is one war too many.
Noelle
HA-Ha-HA, you please your God, Noelle, seeing this mess for what it is. But you seem to lack the same intuitiveness when it comes to your own... ha-ha, a pity. I accept your... persistent nature, nonetheless.
Crybaby
Sweet little fallen one, so easily lost but not so easily forgotten... you are loyal to a fault, and one day it will burn you if it has not done so already. You will find them.
Herla
Mm, a wise answer indeed... once a creature is bound by something beyond their power, the struggle to break free only binds them further. Exhibit A: Him. Like the others before, I accept you selflessness.
Ravyn
You sit in my doorway, Swan, able to stand in both rooms. You know already that my promise of a reward unto them is false... and is simply the ability to see, hmn-hn-aha-HA.
"Very well... all those who answered and all those who are quietly willing, listen closely. You are all in danger of losing more than just a friend; the seasons have been running amuck, and they are close to abandoning you and the Gods completely. You may think I should be glad, yes? If the seasons fail, you all make your way quicker to me. No, that it not the wish of a God of Death for everything to end, as ironic as it sounds.
Spring is the one who wishes to seal the fate of your world, and in continuing to hide, the one you call Iaurdagnire cannot engage with him as he has always done, and then reach me. When this meeting happens, my instructions are to release Summer and restore the balance... but therein lies another problem - he is not yet mine to bring back to you. There is a skull that Iaurdagnire broke, and stole from him that is of a high personal value. Once I have this, Summer will become mine, and I will tell you exactly how to force Spring from his hiding place.
Only you can locate the skull pieces for me, I cannot gather them myself. Find them all, and I will surrender all.
Mortals make deals with Death all the time... it's about time I tried doing the same."
Community Event - All welcome!
This is an
in-forest task.
You must locate pieces of
skull of a unknown number that Dag has hidden throughout the forest. Take a screenshot of as many as you think you have found, upload them to an image host (tinypic, photobucket etc), then send them to this email address:
dagnire@yahoo.co.uk
Along with your Username, deer name and pictogram. If you scavenged them in a group, do include everyone elses information if you wish to send just one email crediting all hunters.
Do not post screenshots here, otherwise you'll show everyone else where they are!
You have to find as many pieces as you can in the forest and then email me your findings. The results will be posted this weekend once all emails are in.
The hunt will end later than first described, Midnight UK time, for the people in other time zones who would like to have a go. Have Fun!
Just to be clear: I don't mean go and take a screenshot of any skull-deer you can find. These are skulls (keep it simple, skulls in forest? What do we have in game that is a skull?) that have specifically been hidden, you'll know you've found one when you come across one.
Well done for finding them

A big thank you to Unplugged who provided the random pictos for the hidden skulls!
"How proud I am of you all, doing this most... honourable favour to one of the ever-giving Gods of your world. But yes, that's right, I did mention a reward didn't I. Well... in truth it was to try and tantalize the selfish and the meek; an empty promise of glory. I should have known that such creatures are very rare, here, in my forest of happy dancers, hmn-mn... despite the fact that they would get the job done quicker than any of you. But very well, you shall have the information you seek in due course. First I must examine and rebuild this... curious artefact that is tied to Summer with the strength to deny me.
Though... perhaps I can offer some choice words about those who have come to their Lord with the promise of aid for their friend. You are all blind, and will all be afraid of the piece you will have to find in the dark of yourself in order to help him; it is something that your heart will tell you to deny, always."
^ lmao XD Starling - Don't
Starling - Don't worry, I'll update it if anyone else would like to have their deer answer him. I'll even update it after the event if I don't have time; it makes no real difference, but suddenly his replies will make sense in the next stage of the plot >D

With that, he lowered his head again to rest. How easy was it to trust such a voice?

Eyes only half slits in the
The sun sets in the far distance, little illusions of heat dance upon the blackness of her coat and rays of gold shatter upon her forever tattered markings.
The Swan was sad to hear his demanding, all-powerful voice.
Velocity,
It was barely a whisper.
The Swan is forever sought out.
She answers his call because she is called upon, and because more than anything she respects the order and balance of things.
Creatures come, and creatures all must eventually go.
A deep inhale and heavy exhale before speaking,
I understand that you have called upon the creatures of this forest to collect a certain treasure that you seek...
There was a strange heaviness in her heart. A longing.
Because she knew she was made with greater purpose than living among the forest, but that calling has long been neglected.
The Swan, since the beginning, has existed in limbo.
She lives and does not truly live, but The Black Swan lives forever.
Very well then.
For the sake of Iaurdagnire, and curiosity of this... reward you speak of, I will find what you are looking for.
From the top of a birch hill, her eyes travel across the land around her.
Her tired weight is supported by a sun-bleached tree which leaves were killed by the stifling heat.
From here, she sees everything.
I am laaate..! D= Though the
Though the voice the buck had heard set a certain dread in his heart, this offer of help could not be completely ignored. Not when it was offered to someone he saw as a friend, a rolemodel of sorts - and an essential part of the forest the buck now called home. He took a deep breath, and answered. "I will aid, if I can. But only for his sake, not for these rewards you offer." He did not completely trust this offer, nor the one making it.
(I don't know how much I'll be able to participate, but I'll try my best. XD)

Your words are anything but trustworthy. I'm doing this for my friend, not for you. I don't even belong to you, cow.
It was amazing how her voice remained toneless even as there was a certain finality to it.
Remember that.

The Red spoke what was truth in his mind - how things were. Virgil was never his true name, it was an alias given by the gods. His true identity is of his very feral scent.
He looked directly towards what he imagined the god of death to look like. And it was not the skulled beast everyone else interpreted. Death looked far less sinister, and one the Hart can trust whole-heartedly when he knows the time is right.
"We shall see."
GOGOGO
Quad shakes his head,
Added 20 mins extra time as I
It really was! ♥

It was enjoyable to see so
I had fun, even if I wasn't a very active participant.
Also, this page is delicious. So is your writing.
Damn, I guess I should have
I've literally just closed
But... I can put them all back up if people are only just seeing this now and want to have a go? I'm around for a good hour or so now so it's really no bother. I want people to enjoy it (:
Ffff. Missed it. D< The idea
You guys had better've found all the bits. B|
It's okay Hrae, I've decided
Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

Haha Lung XD See aren't I
See aren't I nice staying up late :B
Starling - Thank you for the compliment on my artwork, I discovered through this that skulls are perhaps one thing I'm quite good at drawing haha, shame I don't have a skull character ;D Happy it's inspired you!
It was fun! And a really

Oh wow a whole team! That's
Thank you Sight! If you still want to write an rp reply that's perfectly fine you know; I haven't updated with the other rp responses yet (: every one of my events is for fun so I'm not going to say you're not allowed to do anything XD

Just ignore Illrose's answer if it's too late to answer Velocity. xD )
There was many things the doe did not remember after she had awoken again from...what should she call it?...her death. Her own names, her friends and families...all this had been forgotten, until she was told what her name was, and who her friends and family was. Now did she at least know the name on some of them. But as she laid eyes on the giant stag, memories came back in a flash. Memories of foggy days, of owls and wolves, and Velocity. Her sitting for hours next to his sleeping body, only to enjoy those short moments when he wakes up and decide to romp with them. Already from the first time she saw him had Illrose admired this creature deeply. So it was not hard to answer his question;
"Yes. I will help you find what you seek."
LOL, Misako! I laughed so
And okay Dag, that’s awesome, I’ll write something up later when I have time to come up with something coherent. ^^
Thank you for extending this
^agrees with Tera Awesome :D
Awesome :D
Everything had built and
She came many times and not all of the pieces she brought were those of Summer's. In fact, she brought two seperate, who skulls; little treasures she tore from the faces of deeply sleeping deer. Spiteful glares she shot the deity of death told her just how much she hated serving him and all these little pieces and extra, whole masks that held no connection to the lost season of Iaurdagnire might serve to make his task a little more hellish somehow. Not that she imagined it would stall him much, but it was still an insult of some kind - in her mind, at least.
"Now hurry the hell up and get 'Nire freed of this ridiculous mess."
Spoken with bitter arrogance. Because everything was Velocity's fault, too. Somehow.
Many thanks for giving more
Zach had no team, but he had a great time running around nonetheless. XD
(belated) Crybaby had seen
Crybaby had seen this creature before, in his dreams.. at the edge of death and when he had almost left this world for good. It seemed to stay close to him, following him... even if it often was a mere shadow. He knew the feeling of its empty eyes staring at him, it wasn't unfamiliar to the small buck. And he wasn't afraid of it, at least not for himself.
But of course he didn't want his friend Iaurdagnire to get into any sort of danger.
"I don't know if I should actually help you.. but I will after all, to help my friend like you said." spoke the Fallen one. "I don't need any reward for this though.." he trusted Velocity's last words: ... than simply helping your friend.... Succeeding in helping Iaurdagnire was the biggest reward he could ever get.
It just was a feeling.. that he had to do it, maybe not fail for once in his lifetime down here.
And so he agreed..
fdsjghdfkl STILL MISSED IT.
*cries* I'm so sorry Kaoori,
Wow for a fun game this was actually kind of stressful haha. Stay tuned for the next bits - Kaoori and those who rp-responded but couldn't make the event, you're still valid in this (:
I mailed you just now! *late*
No problem! I'm catching up
Crybaby, Gehirn, Virgil, Herla, Djinn, Zacharias, Ravenflight, Ephiré, Starling, Ravyn, Noelle, Melusine, Esll and Queze.
KestrelBlaire/Fikos - I understand you were with others when looking for skull pieces, but I don't know how many you found with them. I know at least 1 as you were in a screenshot, but apparently you were there for at least 2, so that is what I'll go with unless you tell me otherwise (:
If there are any names missing or you haven't sent your email yet, please do!
The echoes of an unfamiliar
Thanks Sight (: No more rp
No more rp responses please, will update this later and finalise it (:
Edit: Phew! This blog is now done. You'll have to excuse Velocity while he puts Summer's skull back together; he's run out of glue and has to pop to the shops on Monday. It's Sunday tomorrow, so the shops aren't open. -brick-dodge-
^ Rofl Yaay! :D
Yaay! :D
Heee. I'm sorry I missed
