The wind was a torrent of darkness,
Among the gusty trees.
The moon was a ghostly galleon,
Tossed upon the cloudy seas.
The road was a ribbon of moonlight,
Over the purple moor.
And the Highwayman came riding,
Riding,
Riding.
The Highwayman came riding,
Up to the old inn-door.

@Proud: Brooks: Oh you plush bear-thing, just shush and fluff. *faceplants into cuddly bear-ness* My wife is an easter egg and my daughter is some Buddhist what-sit reincarnated mom-thing. *sobs manly tears*
Yeah, don't let Brooks near the saloon again, too much beer there. When he gets drunk he sleeps on bears and talks about things he shouldn't. x3
Brooks will be acting very distant and angry unless he is with knows he knows and trusts. He will be less tolerant of annoyances. Brooks will still be rather playful with fawns, if just to keep the illusion that everything is alright in the world.
If you see him in a blue berry patch performing the 'sad' emote, it is because he's collecting them. He'll later take them back to this little Glen to set them aside so they can ferment. lol, he's trying to make blueberry wine =P
He's also scent-marked all over the Glen's trees, so he's going to claim it as territory unless otherwise stated. The territory won't really be defended, so there's no repercussions if you venture in there.
Hey.... I have a random idea.... what if my little mini fawn that I made could somehow reach to the other side of the portal and talk to whatever`s there? She could talk to whatever`s left of Calida/Orin`s mom. Since my fawn is the embodiment of light, in a way, it wouldn`t be harmed by the demons or such... MEH RANDOMNNESS.
(and I know you're busy, so am I since my college started up again..yay math >.<)
But since 08 was bringing Cali back soon I was thinking we could bring orin and brooks back soon as well. If this seems rushed though let me know otherwise we can think up someway that makes their return less...rushed ^_^

Hm, maybe they go back because they found out Orin is pregnant and believe the forest is safer? Or they go back because they miss the forest, seeing as how they've been gone for a long time.
hmm...lets go with the first since that was our plan originally. I don't want to rush her pregnancy so unlike aria I will make hers longer (like 11 months =5 1/2 our months). I am really trying to get better with my rushing problem XD
any time you are ready we can start their return :3

Orinoco took a long look at the small cottage that had been hers and brooks home for a long time. She smiled, hoping to one day return to this place. They needed to go back to the forest though. A more important matter was upon them. She still felt grief over the loss of her daughter, she wasn't sure it would ever go away. Turning to Brooks she smiled. "Ready?" she asked giving him a hug then stepped back smiling.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Brooks replied. He tied his crimson cape around his shoulders and pulled the small stone that served as the portal from his pocket. "Here's our way back." The man set the rock on the doorstep of the cottage and turned around to lock the door. Once he did so, he placed the key deep within the dirt of an empty flowerpot that rested beside the stone walkway. Taking his mate's hand in his own, Brooks tapped the rock with his other, opening a purple void that swirled in the space above the stone. He stepped through the portal, taking her with him.
They came home, the force of the teleportation forcing their bodies back out through the Crying Idol. Looking around, Brooks shook his head, feeling the long fur of his neck shake as well. "Welcome home, Orin."
~~~~~
Do you want to go to the Crying Idol and RP them coming out?
Orin felt a rush as she saw the swirlling vortex before her. Perhaps it was anticipation at finally returning home. Perhaps it was slight fear as well. What ever it was she couldn't turn backnow. Her hand held on to Brooks tightly as they walked through. She felt his hand vanish and the sounds of birds and the soft breeze that always graced the endless forest was tickling her fur. It smelt clean, it must have rained while they were gone. "Welcome home Brooks"she said smiling then nuzzling him. Her eyes teared up for a split moment as the forest brought back many memories. She used the nuzzle to hide this fact.
---
um well Im kinda doing homework at the same time as this XD /shot
how long will you be on for?
—
You do not have a soul. You ARE a soul. You have a body.
~ C.S. Lewis
For about 2 hours more.
Scratch that, I leave in 30 minutes.
~~~~~
He nuzzled her neck and gave a small lick to the side of her face. "Well first things first, we need to find some more permanent territory now that we're back. It's a bit dangerous to be wandering so much, who knows what territory we might wander into. Do you have any places in mind?" He asked, gazing around the forest.
Cali will return when things are ideal, which seeing as only Orin, Brooks, and Hra had reactions to Cali's vanishing, isn't really much to wait for. I'm just getting things together 'cause I'm BOORREEED, lol. Take your time. If the pregnancy lasts 5 RL months then it'll probably be 9 months or so till Cali returns.
@cyda
oh darn -_- well next time we both are on and have free time we can do it then :3
@08
oki doki :3 and don't worry if not alot of people know your deer yet. Some of your characters will have that sort of reaction. Don't let it get to ya And I like the idea of cali coming back a bit after orin gives birth so that Cali can have a baby bro or sis to play with XD
Orin smiled a bit wider when he showed her affection. His question made her stop and think a moment. She had been so use to going from place to place that settling never occurred to her. "Ive always loved the blue bowl, and the bushes are high and dense and a great place to hide"she said looking at him wondering what his views on it were.

Brooks thought that over. Hm... That's frequented quite a bit, though... Perhaps someplace that deer rarely go... What about that glen by the river? Or that place up between the Gods Hill and Ruins?"
Orin nodded "Yeah I suppose you are right... The glen is peaceful... "she thought for a long moment,"I think I like the part between the hill and ruins..I want to be closer to the gods ...I feel safer there"she said smiling at Brooks hoping he'd agree.

sadly I wont be able to go in forest until my internet problem is fixed. It keeps cutting in and out

"Alright baby-doll, we'll camp out there for a while. If it turns out you don't like it, we'll try someplace else." He said, nibbling the tip of her ear slightly before starting to walk towards the little patch of land.
The doe giggled at the feeling of his nibble then nudged the stag back. "Sounds like a plan"she nodded then trotted ahead of him a little. She looked back, a teasing expression on her face then a little devious grin joined in. With no warning she bolted off and after getting a fair distance away looked back,"Race ya there slow poke" A laugh left her and she continued to run as fast as she could.

I must sleep, Lady Orin. I shall be back tomorrow afternoon.
~~~~~
Brooks laughed and raced after her. Oh how good it felt to be carefree again! To romp and play like they used to! He slid on the ground, trying to halt. Orinoco had beat him to the spot. Oh well. "Hah-" He tried to speak, but he was out of breath and it was incredibly warm with all his fur. "Lucky-... headstart..." The stag wheezed, grinning ear to ear. Unceremoniously, he plopped down into the grass and just laid there, catching his breath and trying to calm his laughter.
internet is real bad tonight so I'll try and update tomorrow =,= hopefully it is better
sleep well
edit: I'll try and update now while internet is good
Orinoco lifted her head high, her own chest heaving from being out of breath. "I AAALWAYS beat you Brooksie..just how it is"she teased then flopped on the ground next to him. With a bit of light shifting she was able to place her head on his shoulder. She enjoyed burying her face in his soft soft fluff. No matter what that scent and feeling gave her comfort.

Orin trotted softly back to the little home she and Brooks had found. It was perfect. Really Brooks found it but he made sure she liked it before settling. The location was not too busy and it made for nice cover. She had left to get a drink and something to eat but when she returned her ears flattened at the poor sight her mate was in. "Brooks..what happened here?" she asked moving closer to him and nuzzled him.
---
forgive me if I read the update wrong XD

"Too much to say, sweet. If I told you, you too would get frustrated with me. I've been keeping secrets." He replied, nuzzling her back. The buck sat up, shifting from a laying position to that of a sitting one. "I've been... obsessing over finding her, though I know it is fruitless. If I find time, I traverse the forest for any trace. I know I said not to think about it, but I've been breaking my own guideline." Brooks rested his head on Orinoco's side, burying his head in her fur. "I'm sorry." He said, in a voice that was barely above a whisper.
Orinoco sighed and lay her head on his own."Its alright...it is much heavier on your mind....what you had to see....I know it haunts you..I can see it in your eyes each day" she said before gently cleaning his forehead, a well known calming tactic. "But you wont find her here.....unless they release her..you will not find her"she said her voice cracking but she remained relatively calm. Right now she needed to be strong for Brooks. Even if she felt like crying herself.

"I know... I know..." Brooks leaned in close to, cursing at himself for acting so weak as he did so. "I'm sorry, baby... It's just... I-... I can't even remember what she looked like. Sure, I could give someone a description, but I can't picture Ca-... her anymore." He mumbled, forcing himself not to say her name, for it would surely make him cry. After a few moment's silence, he sat up straight. "Looks like we both are still haunted by this."
~~~~~
lol. Sorry it took so long to reply, I got drawn into listening to an audiobook. ^^'
hahaha its ok ^^
I was having a tense rp with Vesas and Quadda ^^' she approached him in forest
---
Orin simply nodded to his words, to add anything further would only make her cry as well. No matter how much she tried however a few tears managed to leak from her eyes. She took a deep breath to prevent more from following. The wind through the trees helped her to focus her mind elsewhere but it didn't take long for her mind to wander back to her little girl. Her body quivered then tears began to flow in much larger amounts,"I miss her so much Brooks"she said through her tears and turned her head to hide her face in his hair.

"Sshhhhh. Shh, shh, shh." He quieted comfortingly. "I do too..." Brooks hummed a soft song to try and stray from the topic of their daughter, cuddling her with his body and swayed slightly in time to the music. After he finished, the buck nuzzled her neck gently. "So, did anything interesting happen lately? Any idle chats by the pond with the other does? Or perhaps the flowers looked and smelled particularly fresh today?" He pondered, derailing from the negative thought process they had been going through.

Yeah, don't let Brooks near the saloon again, too much beer there. When he gets drunk he sleeps on bears and talks about things he shouldn't. x3
