You know, maybe it's and idea that Illrose could wear the zombie pelt whenever she's wounded after fights and needs to take things a bit slow or something. I mean, the zombie pelt is grey too xD and it would be easier for Kheiron to know if he needs to take it a bit easy around her, since they always ends up hopping and running around. xD
Well, not that I think it will seriously hurt Illrose if she moves around a bit, but it could work pretty well if you want to use both of the pelts :'D
I just get the feeling you're getting a liking to the zombie pelt. xD

Yeah, I'm wondering about Gustiro as well o.o and AlisonRobin. She has disappeared too, for several weeks now. And while we're at it, where did actually Crimsongale go? I know she's in here from time to time, but it's very rarely that I see her online. I think I missed something considering that. xD
I think I like keeping an eye on everyone. xD

Oh, I didn't know you've already done that xD oh well. It's a bit annoying that sets get lost so easily in this version. That's why I keep the candles on Kheiron a bit longer, too. xD

Yeah, I'm not complaining about the new version, it's just a bit tiresome when you have to be super-careful not to lose your set. Especially when you have part of a set which is difficult to obtain.

And I haven't interacted much with Crimsongale either, but I tend to get curious about stuff like that anyway. xD

And you might want to tell me who those deer Illrose didn't like was?

Haha, yeah I was thinking it could be her, but I never memorized her picto so I wasn't sure. xD and I didn't recognize her set either.
Funny, cause she attacked Kheiron once. Maybe you remember it, you and Gustiro were there as well. :') I'm pretty sure it was the first time you met her.
Kheiron wouldn't remember, though. xD It's a long time ago, and he pretty much just wanted to explore what was wrong with the deer because Illrose didn't like her. Turns out there was nothing seemingly wrong with her, which told Kheiron that Dinah and Illrose have been clustered up in something that had more to do with the setting when it happened rather than her personality :') yup, that was what I concluded with before you told me it was Dinah. xD spot on, eh?

Yeah I was wondering who they were. Kheiron didn't want to get included with it though, so he just sat on the sideline and watched until Illrose was done. :')

Don't worry though, Kheiron would never befriend her anyway. xD
And sorry I disappeared yesterday. My network is still to blame.

And I am actually tempted to let Verm, one of the deer mentioned in Sul's biograph, interact with Illrose. I have the feeling it could be interesting to let those two meet.
....though it would be extremely illogical considering he's probably dead and has never even entered this forest in his life :'D xD

I swear I'm gonna drown your blogs some day.

If she suddenly considered him a toy, he would do something veeery drastic to change that back again xD

Hmm yeah, we could say screw logic and go for it? xD as long as there won't be any "oh I haven't seen you before where are you from"-questions, then maybe it'll turn out interesting :') RP's are all about fun anyway, right?

Well yeah, It probably never happened anyway because, as stated, he should be dead considering his age and so. xD and I don't have any story on him after Sul left, but pffft. Screw the rules. We'll see how it works out. xD

A stag. A red deer. Limping, but seemingly not in pain. He had to be though, or else he wouldn't be limping. His eyes showed no signs of emotion, but neither were they cold. More like... distant.
Even if he was hurt, he still held a proud posture and his ears were flickering like a propeller to watch out for any danger.
But then they stopped, both pointing at the same direction. He quickly turned his head to this direction, and was confirmed that his ears had not tricked him this time either.
Another deer. A doe? Yes, it must be.
There seemed to be something off about her though. Something other than her antlers and rather big appearance.
He couldn't quite put his hoof finger on it, though.

I always imagined Illrose as this big, bulky doe. xD don't know if that's right, but I don't think it's wrong to say she's large at least? xD dunno. xD
And maybe I should have a bit of a more dramatic opening, but it's just an introduction so far. You don't know too much about this guy yet anyway :')

The doe seemed tired. He thought he could see fighting-injuries on her, but he couldn't say that for sure. Not being unfamiliar with such injuries, he suddenly understood what she was doing in the water. Maybe cooling down his leg too wouldn't be a bad idea.
He got closer to her as he approached the pond, so he sent her a slight nod and a friendly smile as to check if she was okay with him being there. He would have given her a bow if he intended to speak to her, but by giving her a nod, it was up to her. He didn't want to seem disrespectful by ignoring her and just claim the pond either.

Awh it's okay, Kheiron was curious about that stare-down between Jack and Jergens, so he kept a little eye on them meanwhile :')

The water was indeed really refreshing. His leg had been pumping with warmth, but it seemed to stop now that it was in contact with the water.
The stag looked at the doe when he heard the "hello" leaving her lips, and he responded immediately with a warm smile.
"Hello. Name is... Ver."
He had hesitated only for a slight second, as if he wasn't sure of what name he should present to her.
He continued;
"I see you are wounded. Do you mind if I ask what happened to you?"

He noticed that she tilted her head when he had hesitated. He made a small grunt, but didn't say anything. She could ask if she wanted to, he thought.
"The same as you", he replied, without neither smiling or frowning; still that distant look on his face.
"If someone of a lower rank than yourself opposes you, you have to remind them where they belong."
He looked at her, reminding himself that he was talking to a stranger. "Do you disagree?"

Sorry for late reply. About his appearance, he's pretty much a plain red deer stag. Haven't thought too much about his specific appearance, but I guess it's not important here anyway. xD

He was a bit unsure what that giggling was about, but didn't say anything. He thought he'd get the answer soon enough if he just got to know this doe.
His lips still tightened a bit, though.
"Yes, you are quite right, Illrose. Some deer easily forget things like that, and I prefer to look at it as pushing them in the right direction."
He examined her for a bit before raising an eyebrow; "It seems the subject caught your interest, my dear. Hm. Why?"

"I am glad you seem to agree. Not everyone does, but those are usually the ones with a lower rank themselves. It means you have your instincts in place, and that is a good thing."
His respect for this stranger grew, but he was still wary. It could just as easily be torn away if the right buttons were pushed.
"I do it as a favor. Not because I enjoy it."
He paused.
"Fighting."

I like your new siggie, and congratulations on winning that contest :')

He got silent when hearing this, his lips tightening even more. Peered at her for a moment.
There was surely something not quite right about this doe, and he wasn't sure if that was a good thing yet.
"Perhaps I was wrong, then."
He got up and took a few steps away from her. Lowered his head.
"Your reputation cannot be something to be proud of if that is your attitude."

He snorted, raised his neck and looked down at her.
"Wanting to fight is the manners of a predator, not of a deer."
The tone in his voice was cold and haughty. His ears pointed slightly backwards, and his nostrils had widened. He didn't let his eyes off of her for even a moment.

(Hmm hmm, I think I realized something about him just by reading your reply. xD)

When she stepped closer, he didn't even hesitate to quickly jump forward and stomp right before her.
His breath got heavier.
"A predator, you say?"
Deep exhale.
"But I see a deer, not a predator."

His eyes widened just slightly, and he took a few steps away from her to give her some space.
"Really?"
He got silent for a moment, not quite knowing what to say.
He continued;
"Then I am sorry. You do realize, however, that you should not underestimate your current avatar? You might have been something else in your past, but that is not who you are in your present. If your state of mind is greater than your physic appearance, then that could end up horribly wrong."

Could I possibly have your email? I'd like to ask you something regarding the plot that Alice and I are doing :3 (I won't spoil anything, of course~)

PLOTTING BEHIND MY BACK, AHAAAA?!! DDD8<<


pff j/k it's cool xD


D8< ...!

Mwaha. >)

Nope, but it dosen't matter as long as you read it~

I'll email you tomorrow when I'm ready to get things started :3

He fell back for a moment. His eyes darkened, and he suddenly snapped at her;
"Then act like it! You just said a moment ago that you are a predator! Look down! In the water!"
He closed his eyes and tilted his head another way. Waited for a moment to let his words sink into her, and for himself to calm down. Took a few breaths, continued;
"There is a difference between knowing a fact and truly believing it, and right now those two are contradicting themselves in you. Do not deny it, because you know I am right. You just have to find a way to see it. On your own."

"You keep telling me that you know I am right, but still you do not act like it! Show me! Show me that you understand instead of just proclaiming it!"
His body had gotten tense by now, and the fur on his back was strutting. His weight leant heavily on his front legs, and it looked as if he was almost tipping against her.
He was more or less waiting for her to take the first blow.

I know it might seems like he can't decide on how to react, but he already got annoyed when she told him she fight for the fun of it. When she told him that she isn't originally a deer, he would of course apologize for making accusations without knowing the whole story. He is humble like that. Still, she had already gotten him annoyed, and that is why he quickly changed back to being angry when she didn't want to admit that he was right. He found her way of talking back to him disrespectful.
...and I just wanted to clear that up because I feel it might looks like I'm exaggerating his behaviour. xD

Her jaws tightened even more, and she stroke her ears back. She knew she really shouldn't fight right now, the wounds needed time to heal. But the stag's stance provoked her. She simply
wouldn't allow it. So she leaped forward, before leaning all her weight on the hind legs as she reared up, her front hooves trying to strike at the stag's head.

Lol, that's alright. xD

Edit; Thanks for the track, Puffy. <3

HE SHALL
Just has to...
find ya...
first...
hm....
-sniffsniff-

He groaned as he felt the tip of her antlers strike his body, and he was quickly pushed aside by her weight.
She was stronger than he first thought. And despite the fact that she was wounded, she obviously didn't hold back.
For a second he considered if it was best to surrender, seeing as his leg was getting numb and because of the fact that his opponent was wounded, too, though he realized quick enough that she would attack him again if he didn't do anything. And besides - he didn't want to look like a coward in front of her.
He leaped full speed forward, clashing his antlers against hers before rearing up and accidentally ripping the wound on her shoulder with his hoof.
His front legs was back on the ground again, and he stood still for a moment to see her reaction before he decided what to do next. His expression was a weird mix of mistrust and worry.
