How to “levitate”

Getting a running start off a high starting point ( a rock or a high hill) While running forward, start pushing the space bar over and over to jump. When you have reached the height you want, push escape to bring up the menu screen. This will automatically put you in into a sit. Have your hot key set to either “dance” or “listen” and push one of those. Now escape out of the menu screen, you should be levitating now! To stop levitating just sit down then get up again and you will fall back down.

Glad I could help! It took me a while to get the hang of it. When I figured it out I spent a whole evening levitating all over the forest, hah! Sitting in trees, on top of stumps, on top of other deer. Fun times. (I'm easily amused.)

I've seen deer walking around on top of the pond and I have no clue how they do that!

Woohoo! I did it! Thanks

Now I also know why deer always walk BACKWARDS on top of the water.

I'm glad I finally found him, since Honey's seen him more than once now xD"

Tracking! <3

Lol it's fine! It happens to me too xD

Haha, no worries at all! XD

I am glad she understood. Baba hated to think what would have happened if a fawn wandered too close to the creature... :<

I am glad you think so, too~ Awentia seems braver than Liam when it comes to stags; he'll just randomly start to shy away or shiver, but like her he is quick to become trusting of someone. c: I would definitely love for them to meet! I play as Liam often, so without a doubt he will run into Awentia or Phobos soon! ^_^

Aw, why thank you! I greatly appreciate that, and if I have learned anything about character development, this sort of thing helps you relate to them more~ c:

(Oh my gosh, I wasn't expecting this! How very sad... :< Is he going to be okay? He seems so sweet... ;_; No need to apologize; I didn't think it was a personal attack at all. It's interesting to see a plot of sorts unfold in-game~ c: Thank you for the track, and again, no worries at all! Liam's very concerned for him now, and wants to sit by him if that's alright. He doesn't want the poor fellow to die... ;_; <3)

The sight of the tall, powerful stag staggering on his feet even as he attempted to bow broke Liam's heart. He was tempted to support Incubus with his weight, but he did not want to further upset Succubus. Biting his lip, the young stag returned the bow and looked up at the demon, his brown eyes filled with sorrow and confusion as the dying creature explained.

"It is alright, Incubus...there is no need to apologize. I...I am so very sorry... Is there anything I can do? Anything at all?" Liam replied in a choked voice, reaching out to nuzzle the bony cheek of the demon's skull before he could stop himself. His heart bled for the injured creature...but what could he possibly do? He was not a healer, not one born of magick... He glanced at Succubus sorrowfully, and then back at Incubus again with a shuddering sigh. I must do something...

(I don't know yet.. it all depends on how long his sustenance gauge holds up, since his feeding dictates how quickly he's able to heal. He takes a lot of damage very easily but he heals extremely quick.. above 50% sust it's 7 per day, above 75% it's 10 per day, but it'll drop to 5 per day when his bar hits 48% sust tomorrow.. so.. I don't know. It's kind of confusing. xD; It'll all be up to what happens in the forest.. when he's strong enough to at least run away, I think he'll be closer to being in the clear.)

First, one leg folded; buckling up beneath him, as it gave out his weight went with it. With a strained huff and a shudder, the stag's long, lean frame hit the water again, stopped only by the bed a few short inches below the surface. It was easier once the other front one folded with its twin, distributing his weight to the front with a bit of a struggle until he allowed his hind legs to give out as well.

"I don't think so.. you've no obligation, I know more deer that would drag me to the depths than try to aid me," Incubus murmured, offering Liam another sullen smile.

"It's so kind of you to offer.. thank you. I suppose I have little more left for me than to hope, as the days go by, that if I'm not made well enough by nature to continue, what I leave behind will help to sustain others. But I have Succubus to help me, and those like yourself who wish me better. That's all I need." A flicker of emotion lit up in the demon's eyes beneath his porcelain mask as the younger buck nuzzled him so affectionately. What had he done to inspire such compassion from a near complete stranger? Regardless, he stretched out his slender neck to return the gesture delicately, thankfully.

@ uwharrie ~ Meep, thank you so very much! Nanetta is such a sweetie~ <3

(I quite like the contradiction; it's very endearing! Aw...thank you so very much! ;_; <3 Also, no worries at all about the post; I love long responses in RPs! XD)

Liam listened intently as Incubus began to explain, and he nodded at the mention of Gustiro. He believed that he had seen the stag before, but unfortunately did not know who he was. At the very least, he could not put a name to a face. Noticing the softening in the demon's expression, Liam offered a small smile as well, and he thought back to when Ishibaba would look after him when he was a fawn. He knew what it was like to have someone in his life who was like a father to him, despite them not being of blood.

The description of the events that unfolded on that fateful day made the young buck's skin crawl, and he blanched at the mention of Leviathann. Levi... He knew her. He had kept her company a few times. She knew Incubus? The others he mentioned...well, he couldn't say if he had ever met them. Regardless, Umay's and Kody's evil deeds made the fur on his neck bristle. He hadn't felt so many waves of emotion at once in his life. The fact that those deer relentlessly outnumbered and attacked him and Succubus...it disgusted him beyond anything, and anger flared up in his heart anew.

Liam exhaled along with the demon stag, his heart heavy and his mind racing. A moment passed, and then the young stag spoke, "I...I know what it is like to lose control. It is awful, but...you were not in the wrong, not at all. If anything happened to Ishibaba, or my friends...I do not know what I would do. I do not want to know what I would do..." Liam looked up at the demon stag, his eyes sorrowful as he took in the state that Incubus was in. His antlers were indeed frail, the webbings torn between the prongs, and the wounds along his body continued to bleed. He did not deserve this...

At the mention of Succubus, Liam smiled softly and bowed his head in the doe's direction. "I do not think her cruel or out of line. She is doing what she can to protect you, and that is a beautiful thing. I am glad you have her, and that she gives you comfort." He paused again, shifting his weight slightly beneath the water. "Are...are you hungry? If you'd like, I could gather some berries and shoots for you. I might have to make a couple of trips, however," the buck offered with a soft smile.

(Haha, me too! XD No worries at all; please, take your time~ c: )

Liam vaguely wondered why Incubus echoed his mentor's name, and he blinked and looked up at the demon stag with a slightly confused expression. Did he know Ishibaba? Did something happen between them...? Seeing the warmth return to Incubus's eyes set him at ease, however, and he tipped his ears as Incubus continued to speak. At Incubus's advice, Liam lowered his eyes and nodded his head slowly, chewing on his bottom lip. "Y-yes...that is why I fear losing myself. I...I have been so afraid my whole life, but I let my emotions boil inside me. I don't want to do anything I'll regret, even if I am protecting those I love..." Liam's voice trailed off, his cheeks flushing a little with shame. Why was he babbling on about this?

Looking up again, Liam smiled at Incubus's reaction to the mention of Succubus. He could see a flicker of warmth and love in his eyes, and it lifted the young buck's own heart at the sight of it. He was beginning to feel more and more hopeful, and he tilted his head slightly when Incubus briefly went into a trance. He was a fascinating creature... Different, and yet Liam felt comfortable around him. Much like Nekumbra, actually...

His response to Liam's offer was certainly a surprise. Liam blinked in confusion, and his heart seized briefly when he thought back to Nekumbra's old habits. No...surely Incubus was not a fawn-eater as well? He didn't seem like a predator at all, nor have the drive to commit something so evil. He felt that the demon stag was indeed holding back on him, and although any other stag who was wiser would have left the topic alone, Liam felt he needed to know more. He bowed his head in return, and then looked into Incubus's eyes, his gaze soft and curious. "Forgive me for asking, my friend...but, how do you mean? I...I would very much like to help you. I cannot bear to see you helpless and weak like this," the buck said quietly, silently cursing himself for prying. You stupid buck... Can't you see this is none of your business? What will he think of you, now?

(Haha, awww! XD Liam: "Oh, um, I...eheh..." *blush* ^-^;;;" He thinks that Incubus is quite handsome~ :x *shot!*)

Liam could sense how uncomfortable Incubus was with the topic, and he mentally cursed himself again. Why am I so quick to ask questions? Gods, he must think I'm a bugger... He chewed on his lip nervously, a pang in his heart when the demon looked at him and then away quickly. The young buck wasn't always the best at conversations, and sometimes his curiosity would get the best of him. It was not uncommon for him to be chased away by other stags, whether it was because of his awkwardness or his...life choices. He wouldn't blame Incubus for chasing him away...or wishing him away, since he could barely move. Closing his eyes, he waited for the inevitable, his heart heavy.

When Incubus spoke again, however, Liam's eyes snapped open in surprise. Not just because he wasn't asking him to leave, but because of the very nature of his words. He...doesn't eat? But...how is that possible...? Liam was silent for a moment as his mind raced, trying to think of what to say. His throat was suddenly very dry. "It...it is alright. I have only just met you, and...well, I should not be prying you like this. I just..." He paused, his mind continuing to race as he struggled to find the right words. "Well...I find you to be very interesting. I...I have so much to learn about the Forest and its inhabitants, of its magick and its mysteries. Baba has not taught me everything, but I feel that everyday I am learning more and more."

He stopped short when he realized that he was probably not making a lick of sense. His mouth was wandering faster than his mind could keep up. "I mean...what I mean to say is...it is alright. You don't have to tell me anything. I am very sorry for making you uncomfortable," he continued in a hushed voice. He no longer cared about how bashful and unsure he sounded. Right now, he only cared about Incubus's welfare.

(Haha, thank you so much! <3 And he sure is! *doublesmack'd!* XD Sure thing! I need to get some sleep as well, but I'm enjoying the hell out of this also, so I must pooost~ D: XD)

The sound of Incubus's chuckle was heart-felt and much welcomed amidst the silence. Liam's ears perked up comically, and he looked up at the demon stag in bewilderment. It was strange... Although Incubus was not a normal deer by any means, his laugh was deceivingly gentle and familiar. Comforting, even. Liam was equally surprised and charmed to find that the older stag was being so very humble about his ways of living. To see the demon so happy despite his wounds and pain lifted Liam's heart considerably, so much so that he wasn't even aware that he had laughed softly along with him.

His smile quickly melted into a frown when Incubus continued to speak, however. He twisted his ears back and bit his lip again, closing his eyes for a moment. "I...I know how that feels. Flattery...it is a luxury, I suppose," he said softly with a sigh. He wished that he could push certain events in his life out of his mind. He was the kind of being who would hold onto a hurtful exchange for the rest of his days rather than shrug it off. His emotions and cowardice were his weakness, and others had taken advantage of it before. Liam bit his lip a little harder to keep the tears at bay. No, he would not be weak in front of his new friend...

Taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly, Liam opened his eyes and looked up again...only to have his gaze locked in Incubus's own. He lay there frozen for a moment, just looking into the demon's eyes. He saw something there, something that made his heart flutter oddly. He thought he saw...something intense in those eyes. Something... Oh... A small tingle formed in his hooves, his cheeks growing warm and his heartbeat quickening. He felt trapped in that gaze, entranced...and when Incubus broke it off he found himself exhaling softly, as if he had been holding his breath for hours.

The demon stag's expression was now distant and blank, as if absolutely nothing had happened. Liam remained frozen, not sure what to do or say. Did Incubus even notice how he reacted? Gods...how could he not? The younger stag shifted slightly, and then nonchalantly took a few sips from the pond. His cheeks were still warm, and the tingle in his hooves wouldn't go away. He could practically hear his heart in his ears. Gods, get a grip, Liam. You are overreacting, delusional. What is wrong with you...?

(Hm...I hope that that wasn't too much. I just had a sudden explosion of OMG MUST WRITE MOAR~ D: I am so digging this, omg. I think it's kind of neat that Liam is just meeting Incubus now when he's all banged up; that just makes it all the more interesting! c: Anywho, have a good night! <3 I'll be pretty busy today, but I shall reply ASAP! c: )

Hooo-boy...I smell drama ahead! Delicious, delicious drama~ =P I am so very glad I logged in tonight and stumbled upon you guys; both characters are very interesting and well-written! This was a very progressive night for Liam's character: he's been afraid of his sexuality his whole life due to being berated and hurt for it, but now he feels a connection with Incubus. Especially since he just gave him "The Look", lol XD

He is very innocent and naive, and also very confused about his feelings. He may end up being afraid of Succubus, but would not hate her. It is very hard for him to hate anyone really, if he can at all. I guess you could say that Liam is kind of an emotional mess. :<

Eep, uh-oh! XD How exactly does she "feed" off of others, if I may ask? Are her victims aware of it, or feel a little tired after the fact? Btw, Incubus and Succubus are particularly endearing to me because I have an old daemon character that feeds off of souls as well, even though he is a "good guy". c:

And, thank you kindly for ze stalkage~! <3

LOL Epic fail.
Double post. Sorry about that.

Ahh, well. Lucky for Liam then. XD I just remember seeing his picto a lot today and I guess the pelt threw me off. Though, she might attempt to out of spite, at least until Incubus catches wind of it and more drama ensues.

Of course, this all depends on how Incubus acts too. As long as he gives her /more/ attention, she'll at least tolerate him and not give him any trouble. And at least she's not as outright aggressive as she used to be. Should've seen her trying to take on Gustiro as a fawn. LOL

But, I'm a total sucker for happy endings, so I'm fairly certain things will work out one way or another. Not that I'm expecting them to become bffs or something, but still.. Once Succu knows him better, she'll probably stop seeing Liam as a stag altogether because he's gay. /smack'd Which is very good for him, actually.

Gah, and now I'm all pumped and excited to get her back in the forest and see how more of this plays out. All I can say is this is going to be fun. lD

(just stopping by to say I looooove the set you chosed here.
And to honor the awesomeness of this drawing and this bio)

((Eep...thank you so much, Alice! It is an honor! ;-; ♥ ))

(Lmao! Oh my god, this is going to get crazy. I look forward to said craziness! =P)

Those words that fell from Incubus's lips... Those sweet endearments, those positive reinforcements... Liam had never been confronted with so much kindness in sincerity in his life. Yes, Ishibaba loved him like a son, but the old stag was strict with his ways. He was the definition of tough love. And yet, here is this demon, this otherworldly creature that was speaking so kindly of the buck without reservation. Liam simply did not know what to say. He gazed at Incubus with misty eyes, his knees trembling softly even as they lay folded beneath him. What could he have possibly done to deserve such kindness and respect from a complete stranger? He did not whether to blame Fate or the Gods, but it mattered not to him; he was overjoyed and overwhelmed. His cheeks flushing, he cast his gaze downward for a moment to collect his breath, and managed to whisper out a very soft, "Th-thank you..." He wished he could have said more, but he simply did not know what to say. He could only thank this creature bringing so much joy and hope to his heart in a single evening.

In his own attempts to calm his racing heart and mind, Liam failed to notice the myriad of emotions that graced the demon stag's features. Of course, he had no idea of Incubus's habits, and how he fed. Liam's ears perked when Incubus spoke again, and he lifted his head to meet the older stag's inquisitive gaze. His heart seized when he realized the implications of the demon stag's gentle question. He hesitated, his eyes locked on Incubus's despite him feeling ashamed and wishing to look away. But...he simply could not. He felt that deep down, he could trust this creature that he had only just met not a few hours ago. This connection he felt with Incubus was so warm and comforting. It was unlike anything he had felt before. Suddenly, in the back of his mind his subconscious whispered that everything would be okay. He needed to stop hiding. He needed to be brave.

"I..." Liam began, and then paused to bite his lip hard as he looked down at the shallow pond water swirling around his chest and legs. His throat was dry again, but he ignored it. No...he would not be a coward. Not today. Not for Incubus... Taking a deep breath, his eyes hesitantly rising to meet the demon stag's once more, Liam continued, "Ever since I was a fawn, I...I knew that I was...different. I would play with the other fawns, but...I would feel strange attachments to...to the males. I would just play with them more, and grow perhaps too close to them. I ended up frightening a few away from me because of this... Even now as stags, they avoid me. When I matured and the rut came about, I found that I had no interest in does. None at all. I...I would find myself admiring other stags...watching as they would fight each other. I found them to be..."

His voice trailed off as it cracked a bit, and he forced his gaze away again, struggling to take a breath as he tried to calm himself. He had never spilled so much about his personal life to another before, much less a perfect stranger. But now, there was no going back. He said too much to take it back. "I'm...I'm attracted to stags..." Liam squeezed his eyes shut, praying that the stinging tears behind his eyelids would not escape. He waited for the inevitable outrage, the violence, the disgust. Why must I be this way... Please don't hate me, Incubus...

(Oh my gosh, that is so very sweet~ ;_; Gah, Incubus's personality is wonderful; I adore it! ♥ It is funny how similar he and Liam are, especially when it comes to being afraid around stags. Liam isn't afraid of every stag he sees, but he misinterprets actions easily and is terrified what they would think if they were to find out more about his personal life. Nuuu~ :< Also, sappy post is sappy! XD)

(Aww, why thank you~!! ;-; <3 And sorry for the delay in posting, but I was distracted by a TOTALLY SWEET IN-GAME RP SESSION SHDGSHFGFH;;S83...! :B)

Indeed, there was a warmth and homeliness to the demon stag's eyes that drew Liam in and made him feel secure. He dreaded Incubus's reaction to his confession, and was unsure if despite his kindness the demon stag would look upon him with contempt. But, his face...it said something completely different. Not once during Liam's confession did Incubus grimace or scowl; he always remained passive, patient and understanding. And that smile... Oh, how it lifted the weight from his heart. The smile was sincere, comforting. It was directed at the young buck not in malice or mockery, but in complete acceptance and sympathy. For a moment, Liam thought he was imagining the whole thing. No...surely, this was too wonderful to be true. He never thought he'd see such a sincere and kind reaction to his personal choices, and it sent a shiver down his spine.

Incubus's words hit home, and Liam was once again shocked by the demon stag's understanding nature. "No...you are right. That is exactly what I have felt my whole life," Liam whispered, squeezing his eyes shut again and taking in another shuddering breath. This was all so surreal to him, so ethereal. He only prayed that it weren't a dream, and if it were, that he could stay in it just a little longer. He lifted his misty eyes to Incubus, gazing upon his face and reading the tiredness in his eyes. Liam could sense that Incubus was older than he could imagine and wise beyond his own years, and yet his face was that of youthful beauty.

Closing his eyes, Liam let out another breath and inhaled slowly, holding it in his lungs. He could heart his heart beating in his ears, but he was not sure exactly what was making his heart race so. When he felt Incubus's muzzle beneath his chin, Liam's eyes flew open and he gasped softly. He wasn't expecting such a gentle and caring touch, and his heart did another odd flutter. His body seemed to grow pleasantly warmer, his cheeks becoming rosy once more. Liam felt awestruck, entranced...but it was Incubus's words that brought tears to his eyes. This time, however, he could not suppress them, and he bit his lip hard in shame. Those words... No sweeter words had ever been spoken to the young buck. He simply was at a loss for words, and gazed up at the demon stag in wonder and admiration.

When he finally found his voice, Liam replied in a shaky breath, "Gods, Incubus... What have I done to deserve such kindness from you?"

(Awww, haha! I bet he could use one right now! XD ♥ *Liam meeps and immediately clings to Incu like velcro* DURPHUGZ~ :'DDD <3)

(P.S.S. I hate it when the damn nuzzle emote doesn't work ahdgshfg >_<)

Ohh, I thought that was her! I recognized the picto, but I couldn't click it on the map...gah XD; It's nice to have met her; she is such a doll~ c: ♥

(Heh, yeahhh, Liam got the feeling that Succu considered him to be unwanted! XD But ah, he is quite the stubborn buck. =P Oh my gosh yes, that was sooo sad! They manage to be alone for a moment, and then Succubus comes running in just a mite ticked-off. :< Liam does not blame Incu for anything; he just hopes that he didn't make things worse. If anything, he blames himself for the drama... D: )

Liam practically lost himself in that touch, sighting softly before he could stop himself as Incubus nuzzled his neck. His skin rippled lightly beneath his thick fur, the tingle in his hooves returning. He had never experienced such a caress before, or any touch so tender. It was an alien feeling to him, but much welcomed in the warmth and comfort it provided him. The young buck gazed at Incubus in wonder, chewing lightly on his lip as the older stag spoke. It was incredible to think how much Incubus was like him, and for the longest time he wondered if he'd ever cross paths with such a being. He blinked at the mention of 'different reasons', and vaguely wondered what they could have been. Perhaps it was what he was so hesitant to tell Liam earlier?

Those thoughts quickly vanished, however, as Incubus continued to nuzzle up the young buck's neck. Liam's breath caught in his throat as the demon stag's face soon hovered before his, and he closed his eyes with a sigh as his tears were wiped from his cheeks. Liam bowed his head slightly at Incubus's inquiry, letting out another soft, contented sigh as the demon stag groomed his fur. "I...I suppose I do. Ishibaba, Uruu and Woden...they are the closest I have to a family. They have always treated me as an equal, and loved me for who I was. They keep me strong...or as strong as I can be," he replied quietly, his eyes closing in contentment at Incubus's gentleness. He vaguely realized that he was starting to lean against the demon stab, lightly sinking against his chest and neck. Indeed, Liam was so very comfortable...perhaps a bit too comfortable.

Trust him... Liam's eyes snapped open, and he looked up at Incubus affectionately. "Yes... I trust you, Incubus. I truly do," he whispered, silently cursing himself as he cheeks began to feel a little warm again. Stop blushing like a fawn, you silly buck! Suddenly feeling very tired, Liam leaned forward and gently rested his cheek against the older stag's powerful neck, his cheek sinking into downy, thick fur. Even with his eyes fluttering shut he could sense the demon falling asleep, and a soft smile graced Liam's features. The feeling of Incubus's head sliding down his nape and coming to a rest against his shoulder blade formed butterflies in Liam's belly. His smiled broadened in his half-asleep state as Incubus exhaled, feeling flattered that he was so comfortable lying against the younger buck. His heart picking up its pace, Liam slowly stretched out his neck to rest his head against the demon's own shoulder, sighing contently. He did not have as much willpower as the ageless deer, however; already he was beginning to slip into the subconscious, the feeling of the demon breathing lulling him along to bliss.

(Aw, no worries at all, and of course! I am loooving this RP~ <3 So please, go ahead and post to your heart's content! =D Ahaha, ohhh my~ Incubus is quite the feisty one! XP *Liam flees from the dreaded newspaper! D:* Lol, g'night! ^_^ <3)

(Haha, I thought it was rather funny when she taunted Liam, chased him away, and then acted all friendly and beckoned him to come back...and then when he got too close, she just chased him away again. XD I felt bad for Liam, but Succu amuses me; she is manipulative spaz, lol. As stubborn as Liam is, he tried to follow them a couple more times last night, but when they were at the Drinkplaats and he wandered too close he was chased by Succu back to the Playground. Whenever he stopped, she kept running after him. So, after that, he just admitted defeat and sulked in tall grass. :< *squeezes sad Liam!* Also, no worries, and I agree! It's funny how having characters passing out is the universal transition to a new RP, lol. Last night's events would be great! I guess when you come back from work, we can figure out where to go next with this, and like you said get some in-game inspiration. Totally works for me! :3)

(Lol!! Aww, poor hungry Incubus...and poor Liam for being so oblivious! XDD No worries about the shortness at all; it 'twas a very nice conclusion! c: And, hurray! 8D *Liam glomps happily, the threat of the evil newspaper now gone* XDD <3)

(Lol, she sure is! XD And, I do! I just made a new account recently specifically for TEF; my username is xcolbs@gmail.com <3 Feel free to add me; I'm on right now c: Aw, thank you so much! ;-; <3 Gah...I'd hate to think about it, too. He didn't react too well to Nekumbra's habits either, be he was quick to accept her regardless. Then again, Succu scares him whereas Nekumbra doesn't. XD Hurray for Liamhugs! *joins in* |D I'd imagine it would be all of those emotions rolled into one, meep... :< Sure thing! <3)

Liam and the Giant Bunneh.
