Illrose had to admit she was

Illrose had to admit she was surprised by what Crucio told her. She wouldn't believe him to be any kind of devil, not even despite his appearance that could seem intimidating to some - even without his antlers.
"I didn't even know there was a place outside of this Forest. I wonder what it's like." She commented, before realizing that was not the important part of this topic.
"Yes, death still exist here. And if I'm not mistaken it's the job of Velocity to take care of the souls that fall here." Yes, Illrose had forgotten everything, but the memory of the Gods had returned to her the day she was lucky enough to be in Micheal's company one day. Even the memory of the God of Death, the great zombie deer.
"And you do look very much alive, at least to me." The last sentence was supposed to be a compliment, but Illrose wasn't sure if it was what he wanted to hear.

"That would be a difficult

"That would be a difficult question to answer. There seem to be many, many worlds out there. Some of us come from the same ones.. but many have our own. Some come and leave at will, some are unable to escape; I used to be able to leave this forest, but I'm condemned here now, no longer capable of reaching the outside world. C'est la vie," He said simply, shrugging.

"Let him take care of it, then. The devils who charged me have no access to me here, as far as I'm aware; it's not as if they can punish me for abandoning my duties if it is not my obligation in this place."

The last thing she said, however, caught him off guard. He tipped his head off to the side curiously, ears perking up towards her.

"You think so? A little, I suppose.." he pondered out loud, only to dismiss it for himself. Maybe, maybe not; it made no difference.

Was it really true? Was there

Was it really true? Was there really many worlds out there, worlds other than this one? The thought made Illrose shiver - some from excitement, and some from fear. A part of her was really curious to see another world than this...but at the same time, this forest was so safe, who knew what she would have to face if she tried to travel to another world?
"Hm, I'm sorry to hear you are condemned here." She said. For some reason Illrose had a feeling that was something she could relate to, even though she had no idea why.
"And yes, I do think so." Illrose smiled again, shifting to sit in a better position next to Crucio.

( Edit; Btw, I didn't see you had stolen the new page until now, lol. xD )

"Hm? It's not so bad. I think

"Hm? It's not so bad. I think there's a reason I'm unable to leave this place now, and it's likely for the better. I'm not about to question it.. que sera sera. It's happened for a reason." He didn't seem at all bothered by this. It was simply how things were.

He quirked a brow at the doe from behind his mask, silently inquiring, but offered her a soft smile regardless as she moved a bit closer. Eventually, he lay his head down, feeling relaxed and comfortable in her presence. Even with her memory gone, this was still his dear friend. This was still Illrose.

Illrose gave him a faint smile.
"I'm glad you look at it that way. It would have been terrible to be trapped here and wanting to get out." As she said this, Illrose got a strong feeling she was talking about herself, which made her even more confused than she already was about all this. She frowned, but her features softened when Crucio lowered his head. Yeah, she was very tired too, both mentally and physically. She leaned toward Crucio, and carefully rested her chin on his back, while she closed her eyes.

"Smell death." garbled the Tyranid, poking at the doe's hind leg with a single digit. "Death smell."

((Sorry if he annoyed your doe earlier. The battered look to her made him think she was dying. Seemed like a good food source to him.))

The big cow snorted in annoyance.
"Go away!" She growled, and raised a hind leg as a warning. Still, she was hesitant to harm this weird little being, at least before she knew it's intentions.

( Haha, Illrose got pretty annoyed but I just found it amusing, so thanks for that. :b )

Pfft, I love random mini spells like that. xD And sorry for Illrose's taunting, it was meant to be a playful kind of taunt. xDD

Nonono Illrose was hilarious. I was being silly hehe. Umm...I misread Saosin, thought he was trying to protect Illrose and was being aggressive, so that's why I was a little more cautious around her. I understand now that Saosin is a little hard to read sometimes XD

Vodun's body sagged under its own weight as he pulled himself once, twice, to his feet. He was delirious from hunger, but the dragon doe's hooves cut through to his bones, leaving him no choice but to react. He wanted to fade peacefully, numb. He lowered himself to the ground again. If he ignored her long enough, she would go away.

The white doe peers at the

The white doe peers at the sleeping dragon doe from across the stream with a new found respect. In awe. Perhaps Illrose, deep down inside her heart, really did love Gustiro more than Dinah did. She brought Vodun to him, a vital necessity, something Dinah herself couldn't manage. Dinah, sits, staring and admiring the dragon doe's strong will and strength, with gratitude, and finally lets go of all previous hostile feelings.
Snowsauria's picture

It was as if she could feel

It was as if she could feel someone watching her, even in her sleep. Slowly, Illrose opened her eyes and sat back up, and as she did she met Dinah Moon's eyes from across the stream. It was a long time since she had hated the white doe, and today she had felt very grateful toward Dinah, when the other one had kept encouraging Vodun and her. She gave a nod toward Dinah Moon, a hint of respect in her eyes as she did so.

Akira chuckled. "I suppose it

Akira chuckled. "I suppose it is a nickname, yes." His expression did not change with hers. He remained aloof and casual as he replied to her next question. "There is no one I can name off the top of my head. I simply speak from experience." He paused a moment, a bit puzzled. "Do you know what you are?"

More lateness |D;

( Pfft. xD Illrose's memory

( Pfft. xD Illrose's memory is back now, but I guess we continue this rp with her still having amnesia. :b )

Hm, that was indeed a strange nickname. But on the other hand, it had a nice sound to it too. But she frowned at Akira's question, looking at him like he was blind or something. What she was? Wasn't that obvious?
"Uh, a deer?"

Despite their size difference, Walter is still trying to be a flirt-head. x)

He's glad to see she's happier about Gustiro. Sticking out tongue
Snowsauria's picture

Haha. He picked the right

Haha. He picked the right time being a flirt-head too, Illrose have felt really lonely lately, so she really appreciate some attention. :')

Yeah, she believe Gustiro will be better now, since he have gotten something to eat and drink, and the company of Vodun - much of it with Walter's help. That makes her happy. ^^
Verdalas's picture

"Attention", hurr hurr.

"Attention", hurr hurr.

*Keeps it PG-rated*

Poor Walty would try his luck anytime just because he can. He probably won't get far since he's like, at least a foot shorter at the shoulder. x) He'll just have to do some grooming.

He could always stand on a rock or something. /shot. Nah, Illrose likes some grooming, and she wouldn't let it go further than that anyways. xD

The unicorn laughed in great amusement, and his voice was full of delight. "Hmm, I suppose I'll let your memories come to you then!" His grin became a smirk once more. "I have a feeling your true self will find its way, in time, but I will tell you now, the truth of your past might be a bit surprising. Certainly more interesting than most." He let out one last soft chuckle. Akira was eager to see where events would lead, but he could wait. That was part of the fun, after all.

Okami;
She looked at him with an almost pouting expression when he laughed, as if she had said something funny. Illrose also wanted to protest to what he said, but she then raised her 'brows'.
"Hah, I doubt it will be that interesting, but I guess you are right." She sighed.
"An amnesia isn't exactly something that can be pushed." After all, Illrose did already remember a few things. Hopefully the rest would come in time. It simply had to.

Quad;
Oh my, that is so adorable! ._. Actually it reminds me of this moose I saw when visiting Langedrag last summer. She's older than the calf in the video, but was really just a big baby. :')

I love moose and their big, silly noses. Thanks for posting the video.♥

"Why do you even bother..."

"Why do you even bother..." The demon stag muttered, unable to look at the doe. He'd never show it, but inside he was hurting more than he ever had. First seeing Illrose with Gustiro, finding out she had taken him back and the final blow from Sianna. The other doe's words rang in his head constantly. Monster. Worthless. Nobody. It all seems just too much at the time. "You can't do anything to help."
Snowsauria's picture

Illrose was very worried for

Illrose was very worried for her friend. She had never seen Judas in a state like this before, and it almost scared her. So she stood close to him, attempting to give him comfort, but not nagging and asking him what was wrong. If he wanted to tell, he would do so when he was ready. But his words were like a punch in the face, and it made Illrose jerk backwards.
"What the hell do you mean by that? You are my friend, of course I care!" Her voice was sharper than intended, but Judas had no right to say things like that, no matter how upset he was.
"I don't even know what's going on, so you are probably right. But I still want to be there for you."
QuinEXE's picture

A muffled, yet shaky sigh

A muffled, yet shaky sigh came from deep within the skull that served as his face, and if it were even possible - there would be tears swelling in his eyes.Everything was so unfair lately, and it was now more than ever he wished Crucio had taken away his ability to feel mental and emotional pain. He'd take physical pain over this any day. "This is so stupid. This while feeling shit. Such fuckin' bullshit." His voice cracked, laying on his stomach and throwing his face into the ground, "Stupid!"
Snowsauria's picture

Her body flinched as he threw

Her body flinched as he threw his face into the ground. It did look painful, but Illrose had seen others using the same method while dealing with emotions and feelings. She tilted her head, looking down at the plagued stag.
"Is there anything you need to talk about?" She then asked, carefully, after a while.
QuinEXE's picture

"I don't know." He grumbled

"I don't know." He grumbled to himself, hearing that soft tone in her voice somehow made his stomach churn. Being this close to her again both killed him and soothed him at the same time. Even then, his head would stay on the ground, his body become tense to hold back any emotion he was too afraid to show, "I don't know what to think anymore. How to feel. What to do. I wish Crucio would have kept me dead."
Snowsauria's picture

"It's alright. There is no

"It's alright. There is no need to talk." She murmured, before she began to groom him on the back, to calm him down and perhaps herself too. One ear pointed at the direction of his voice when Judas spoke again, and his words made Illrose stop her grooming abruptly. An almost saddened smile touched her lips.
"That sounds just like me." She said. And it was true. Illrose always tried to make choices, but no matter what she said or did she would never be fully content, because she would never know if she had made the right choices or if she should have done something different. Or said something different. She swallowed.
"But please don't say you want to be dead. It may seem dark right now, but there will be better times. There has to be."
QuinEXE's picture

A soft yet shaken sigh echoed

A soft yet shaken sigh echoed through his hollow skull as she began to groom his back, shifting his head from where it previously was to now relaxing on his chin, staring forwards while tried to get his mind together, "It all just seems so pointless... for the longest time I could feel nothing. Everything made sense." His body shook for a moment before he could allow himself to speak, "For a while, you were all I came back here for, and I didn't know why until it was all too late." His voice cracked, his body now tense, "Seeing you with him fills me with such... fuck, I don't know. I'm sorry I just." He paused, wondering if it was even right for him to say this. He knew he had to, or there would be no chance for him to move on. "I loved you."
Snowsauria's picture

Again she began to groom him.

Again she began to groom him. But her movements were almost mechanical, because she was busy listening to him as he spoke again. Illrose then lifted her head, shaking it slowly.
"That also sound like me." She said with a laugh, although there was a laughter without joy. It was a sad laugher. Things had been so simple in the beginning, when she had been here only because she was trapped, because she had no way out. But then the forest began to change her, gave her friends and family, made her feel for others. Sometimes she wished things could be like they were, when she cared about no one else than herself, when her instincts had been driven by her dragon-self, not her deer-self. Illrose blinked, and turned her attention back to Judas. She then froze completely, not sure what to say.
"I'm sorry." She then said, after a while.
"I hope you understand that it was never my intention to make you feel like that?" She turned her head to look at Judas.
"I care about you, but you were always just a friend to me, nothing more." Still, she had to admit what he had said was heartwarming. If she had only known.

"Yeah. I get that now." He

"Yeah. I get that now." He replied, his voice calm and collected for once in the entire conversation. The stag lifted his dead just enough to look the doe in the eye, ears pulled back against his head as he spoke, "It's alright, I kinda knew it'd be that way from the start but, hell, I wanted to stay it anyways." He shrugged, staring off into the distance before heaving a heavy sigh that echoed through his hollow skull - creeping out from the nostril. It would take him a few more moments before he'd look to her again, chuckling and bringing his face close to hers, "But if that big ol' brute hurts you again I ain't holdin' back from kickin' his sorry ass. We got a deal?"
Snowsauria's picture

She smiled slightly back at

She smiled slightly back at him, but still felt extremely bad about it all, even though it had never been her intention to make him feel anything for her. Illrose sighed too, before she laughed slightly.
"Deal." She replied with a nod.
"Is there anything else you want to talk about?" Illrose then asked, remembering how Sianna had lurked around earlier, but Crucio and others had kept her away from Judas. It could seem Judas' current mood had something to do with the phoenix deer.
QuinEXE's picture

"Mmph." With Illrose's next

"Mmph." With Illrose's next question he would pull his head back, going right back to staring out into the distance. For once, he felt ashamed of himself and his actions. He should have known better to ever get involved with the phoenix doe. "She was upset. I tried to help her, comfort her. I considered her a friend and got attached I guess." He sighed, shaking his head, "There was this one guy. Sorog or whatever. He started attacking her stone thing she likes, and told me to get him off it. I did, and she ended up callin' me a monster. Worthless. Said I meant nothing to no one. Tch." He shrugged his shoulders, glancing at his friend once again, "Guess that's what I get for bein' nice, huh?"
Snowsauria's picture

What Judas told her made

What Judas told her made Illrose feel even more sorry for him, but also slightly irritated - at Sianna. Sianna and herself hadn't exactly been best friends, but at one point Sianna had asked for a second chance, and Illrose had decided to give her one. There had been no troubles between them after that. But it did sound like Sianna had pulled Judas in one of her games, where she used the feelings of others to her own entertainment. This way of 'playing' was the main reason Illrose still didn't quite trust her.
"I am so sorry to hear that. But I guess it's just how Sianna is." Illrose shrugged, before frowning.
"Although...she did seem to regret her actions. She might wanted to apologize, if she hadn't been chased away."
