"Hn..."

Had a very tense reunion with Darcy after being absent for a couple of weeks.
He was extremely joyous to see Kumiko again, as she was with him, but Darcy's reaction to his arrival left him upset and confused.
Attempted to approach Darcy only to be met with taunts and antler-shaking.
Dejectedly, with some coaxing, he sat a little off to Darcy's side with Kumiko, willing to at least keep him company.
Darcy soon left their side, and Obake forced himself to be cheerful by playing a little with Kumiko, Herla and a couple of fawns.
Herla turned him into a mini, which further helped lighten the mood. The oni ran around in good humor, failing to be threatening.
Was saddened all over again when Kumiko left. He then followed Darcy's scent to the Gods Hill, much to his dismay.
Cautiously the oni approached, strangely not deterred when he saw that Darcy was praying. He remained vigilant, however.
Darcy then moved towards him while bearing the devout spell, causing Obake to flee as he believed that the monarch would use it.
Darcy pursued him to the playground, which only angered and upset the oni even further. They had a stand-off before D left again.
Stubbornly the oni followed him, and seeing that D was at his daughter's grave site he sat a distance away out of respect.
Was surprised when Darcy soon got up and beckoned him over. He did so, and the two sat together in silence.
Darcy was later persistently "attacked" by Herla, who kept casting animal spells on him and darting around.
Although amused, the oni got between them and attempted to discourage Herla, as he was afraid that a fight may break out.
Later on Herla returned again, and the oni beckoned for her to sit by him in peace. She did so, and the oni could finally relax.

Obake is an oni who is not only carnivorous, but also consumes souls on occasion.
This occurs when he is starving, doesn't wish to hunt or as an act of venegful spite.
He consumes just enough, rather than an entire soul, to satisfy himself.
The process itself is relatively harmless, and painless.
The side-effects are not severe, but include mild dizziness, nausea and fatigue.
Side-effects vary in strength depending on how much of one's soul he has consumed.
Obake prefers the souls of fawns and young deer, as they are more potent.
He is drawn to pregnant does as the unborn fawns are prime targets for soul consumption.
The process may be indentified by him circling and then nuzzling a fawn continuously.
He may be chased off, and will usually not put up a fight.

What shall we call you, Obaké?
A 'demon' as one may say?
But I see no demon, my friend
Who is to give these petty labels?
Be what you wish, who is to stop you?
It is not their life to live, it is yours
This hummingbird admires a truly living one

RPing is very much welcomed!

Just a fyi. My internet is pretty messed up at the oment. A storm has done something to the wiring and it keeps cutting off. I'm having it fixed

No worries at all, hon! I understand completely; we've been getting storms around here as well. Hopefully that will all get straightened out soon! =)

WELL. Came to thank Obake on D's behalf for keeping him company tonight. It's been very much appreciated, he's a sweetheart ^^ I am giggling all over the place baha
shinto's picture

Haha! Yep, that's pretty much

Haha! Yep, that's pretty much how his brain works. Silly demon! =P

You are most welcome; it's a pleasure, as always! Obake is getting better at comforting and keeping good company, which used to be entirely foreign to him. Darcy is a sweetheart also, especially for giving a strange oni the time of day~ =) ♥ Hehe, it was certainly an amusing evening!

Just want to commend you on

Just want to commend you on your RPing in-forest! I always worry about hurting people's feelings when my deer is being rude to someone I haven't spoken to before, but it was so obvious you're perfectly IC and your character is great and interesting and I'm having a lot of fun. Can't say the same for Ravus though, lmao.
shinto's picture

Wow, thank you so much; I am

Wow, thank you so much; I am very flattered and happy to hear that! ♥ Oh don't worry, I picked up on Ravus's body language very quickly, and after checking her bio I now understand completely. She is protective of the geisha, and Obake understands and respects that. Plus, he certainly doesn't want to make enemies out of the geisha's friends, as he is rather smitten with her. =P

I am so glad you're having fun with it! Ravus is very interesting, and from what I can tell she's quite noble. I am glad that she's allowing Obake so close; he can certainly be trustworthy despite his appearance and weird mood-swings, haha. Although he's a little bummed out right now, he's content that he's at least allowed near the geisha to some extent. =)

Oh, I did not notice her

Oh, I did not notice her there! I believe that it is time that Obake goes to investigate. =)

Edit: I'm sorry about Obake suddenly poofing; my internet decided to flub randomly. When he came back, Kaoori was gone. Hopefully they will be able to interact again soon. ♥
Kaoori's picture

I'm sorry too, I was

I'm sorry too, I was literally falling asleep, hence some pauses there. xD I wasn't sure if you had left or got disconnected, but I had figured I should get to bed.

I hope they see each other again soon too. ^^

That is alright, Kaoori; I

That is alright, Kaoori; I figured that that was the case, or that you had connection problems. No worries at all! ♥ 'Til they meet again. =)

I'm not sure how I've missed

I'm not sure how I've missed this character for so long, but this is just amazing. Track!

He sure did overdo it!

He sure did overdo it! Unfortunately this might turn him off of shrooms for a while, but he'll definitely take it easy next time =P Haha, don't worry, he sure won't; he's in no mood to be yelled at!
Shiori's picture

Sorry bout that...Darcy might

Sorry bout that...Darcy might have put a stop to it if he'd known he was such a lightweight XD' He barely got buzzed! And pfft, I'm not worried about Obake being yelled at! Darcy would get reamed for being a bad influence! -chuckle-
shinto's picture

Oh, no need to apologize!

Oh, no need to apologize! This was all Obake's doing; he doesn't blame Darcy at all, just himself for trying to catch up to a clearly more experienced shroom user! =P Oh dear, haha! In that case, Darcy needn't worry, he'll keep the whole incident between them. He'd be too embarrassed to admit to being such an amateur anyway. =P

omg was that him tripping out

omg was that him tripping out just now as he was making his way to the crying idol? lmao
shinto's picture

Nope, he was tripping out

Nope, he was tripping out yesterday when he ate way too many mushrooms. Now he's suffering for it, and has a fever that's making him unsteady and hallucinate. When he was ducking his head, he was trying to not collapse. He's extremely thirsty, but he'd rather stay in seclusion while he recovers than sit near the Idol, especially since Krystal and Big Bunny are taking the opportunity to torment him...which, of course, he totally deserves. =P

Unfortunately, he just collapsed out in the open on the way back to the birch woods. He is such a lightweight, haha. =P

By tripping out, I did mean a delusion or hallucination LOL. My fawn was just like, what is even happening here?

I hope he feels better though soon. :3
shinto's picture

Oh yes, my apologies! =)

Oh yes, my apologies! =) Haha, it did seem that your fawn was confused; it must be weird for her to see a demonic stag stumbling around aimlessly. Thankfully, he's too out of it to be embarrassed at himself. Thank you for the well wishes; he'll be back on his feet in no time! =D ♥

Poor guy. Even little Kaoori

Poor guy. Even little Kaoori can hold her mushrooms for the most part.. |D
shinto's picture

Oh dear...all the more reason

Oh dear...all the more reason for him to be embarrassed! He did eat quite a few of them, though, and he has eaten mushrooms only one other time only to end up like he is tonight. Coincidence? Hm, probably not...just a lightweight! =P

I just noticed his thoughts..

I just noticed his thoughts.. I started giggling xDDD

edit: ROFL XEMI OH GOD
shinto's picture

Oh my, I fear that Obake

Oh my, I fear that Obake would never recover from a mushroom-eating contest! He needs to condition himself first (a la the wise teachings of Darcy, shroom-master), and then someday he may be a worthy adversary! =P

Haha, I thought you'd like that, Kaoori! Japanese swears for the win =P

shinto's picture

Oh my gosh...right when I was

Oh my gosh...right when I was about to go to bed, a bunch of tall mushrooms and snow began to appear! Obake's fungi-fueled hallucinations are coming true and haunting him, haha!





It was a beautiful spectacle, but it freaked Obake out. He's definitely laying off the shrooms for a while! =P

I don't think he's the only

I don't think he's the only one suffering.



Thing is, this was right after Umay stalked Obaké Obaké and Umay parted ways. When he was asleep, she was eating mushrooms from a nearby tree. Although mushrooms don't actually affect her that way, I still find it.. odd, lol. 8D
shinto's picture

Ohh, so that was Umay! Oddly

Ohh, so that was Umay! Oddly enough, she appeared as a naked deer to me, even though it had her picto. I just assumed that it was a random, stalking nameless...whoops! I apologize if Obake happened to ignore her earlier while he was awake; a few nameless were running around him while he was wandering around his own personal nightmare. =P

That is a funny coincidence, though; I'm glad he's not the only one! The shrooms in this forest are pretty special, haha!

Oh, strange! Haha, I had no

Oh, strange! Haha, I had no idea. Those mushrooms seem to have a strange effect. But ah, it's fine. (8

As is to be expected from

As is to be expected from shrooms, I suppose! =P It's pretty funny that Umay was stalking him; he was so out of it that he didn't even notice. But the giant fungi...that sure got his attention pretty quick, haha!

"Anou.. y'know.. poppy seeds work well for pain.
...of course, eat too many, and you're back in the same position you were in.."


The little doe smiled sheepishly.

The oni snorted and looked

The oni snorted and looked away, embarrassed, as he lay in the tall grass. "I no want to eat now. The thought of it disgusts. But, euh...thank you for concern," he replied softly, reluctantly dragging his gaze back to the small shika. Although he wouldn't admit it, he was relieved to see her. His fever was pretty much gone, but he still felt weak, and although he was very hungry he had no appetite.
