Could you and I have a roleplay session with our characters? o.O Please?
If this is all too soon for you, I'm sorry...but you must have some kind of talent with writing and [designing character] so much so that I can't seem to pull myself away.

I never really thought I would be invited to roleplay with anyone when I learned about roleplaying, but since that's changed, I've decided that my character's voice will be hex color #CF1020 (lava) to set it apart from the rest of the text.

I also came up with a color for his dialogue, as well.
=========================
It was a wonderful dream, more elaborate than the others; and would most likely be the last before I woke. After I dug up the golden one, an explosion of colors released themselves from an unseen place in the sky, raining down onto the earth. Beautiful music could be heard from every direction you tilted your ears to, and creatures who looked like me were dancing and laughing, calling out to one another.
A noise suddenly resonated from far away; getting louder with every passing moment, rushing and crackling, snapping, sizzling. All around me, the creatures and the scenery began to melt and get runny, sending chills down my spine despite the intense heat.
The familiar sound of thick bubbling summoned me out of my sleep and immediately to my feet. Nina Isi was sitting a few feet away from me in the patch of dead grass he created, watching me with curious crater eyes.
I cleared my throat, groggy from slumber, yet surprised that he would follow me here.
"Hello..", I greeted him politely.
Not expecting the element to speak back, I trotted over to a cooler patch of grass and slumped down into it, half-closing my eyes.
Thank you. Much appreciated
Thank you. Much appreciated (:
=============
Upon seeing the familiar organic creature, the elemental's body was suddenly ablaze with huge glowing flames, which meant happiness. Ahtun's groggy greeting made the fire grow. " Huuuurrrrggh", a bubbly grunt with a tinge of joy was heard.
The stench of sulfur and hot smoke permeated the air around them. Behind the Nina Isi, a trail of fiery grass, smooth little stones, and a fallen, toasted tree could be seen.
Sizzling hot droplets of flowing lava were shaken loose when he moved closer to Ahtun.
It was this boiling heap of molten rock's first time to experience another being accept him, and he didn't want the guy out of his sight.
"Mmhhmm..", I mumbled my
But that didn't last long. The sweltering heat of the fire deer's presence was making me damp and hot; my fur was stuck together with sweat. "Okay, Nina. You win." I stared back into the hot, broiling face of my new friend, looking for clues. Who was he? What was he? Where did he come from? If he was an elemental, which I thought him to be, why was he here instead of a place populated with his own kind? What he was made of didn't look like anything I'd ever expect to find on the surface. But that's just me; what do I know?
Braking my stare with the Nina Isi, I got up and shook myself off, droplets of sweat flying every which way. Hearing sizzling sounds, I turn towards him again.
Sorry it took me so long
=========
Ahtun's sweat was just a tickle.
Most of the sweat droplets were evaporated before impact, and the rest were absorbed into the lava.
~~~~~
What Ahtun didn't know, was a mystery to Nina Isi as well.
In a land not far from this forest, was a volcanic island connected to other landmasses by
thin strips of sand that rose above the sea.
A small forest shared the island with the volcano. A forest in which deer of many types co-exited.
One day the volcano erupted, coughing ashes into the air and spilling lava from the sides.
From the lava was born a consciousness. One that was rare and spoken of as myth.
An elemental's consciousness.
A hot river cut a winding, destructive path through the forest, green catching fire and turning to black, disintegrating... burning.
Horrified and confused, creatures of the forest ran from the wildly-spreading fires. Thick clouds of birds flew up and away from the mess.
A flaming, bellowing deer sprinted past, not detecting the new presence so close by. A few more feet and it collapsed, never to move again.
The elemental didn't know where he was. Or what he was. Everything he perceived was one harsh color. He didn't know what was happening around him. But he felt a deep connection with the lava remaining on the ground where he stood.
He scanned the weird landscape to find that a huge cluster of tall, charred sticks pointed towards the sky. A red-orange glow came from a deeper part farther from that.
Following the unlucky deer with his eyes, he learned to shift his form to fit what he saw.
Curiosity struck him like a bolt of lighting when he discovered there were sandbars covering the distance between his island and the next. That island harbored a forest that wasn't burning hopelessly.
He made up his mind to explore. Testing his motion capabilities, the heap of burning liquid rock sauntered to another land.
Interesting
__________________________
Feeling compelled by curiosity, I asked the lava if he wanted to explore with me. This would give me a chance to discover new parts of the forest and possibly learn more about him. As far as I know, we don't speak the same language; so I tried communicating with my body as well.
For a while now, attempting to find the golden one was depressing and almost always brought me to dangerous places. Of course, not that it would be any more dangerous with a large fire elemental accompanying me on my travels, but he was the first and [only?] acquaintance I've made so far.
In fact, he found me.
Smiling to disguise my inner sorrow, I led the Nina Isi away from the burnt clearing and towards the enormous, snow-capped mountain in the east.
Thank you. Just for
Just for clarification, my character is a lava elemental. It's the offspring of a fire and an earth elemental... (:
************
Nina Isi could understand only the emotion behind Ahtunowhiho's words. But when he tried the body language, the fiery creature got the message almost immediately. The elemental had nothing to loose. He would set off on a journey to who knows where if he were doing it with a friend.
The walking, breathing lava had seen another being like Ahtun just once before - that burning deer back on the island he came from. He, too, wanted to learn more about Ahtun's kind.
He was, in fact, extremely dangerous. But he could also be a fierce guardian from enemies.
If it meant sacrificing his very life essence to save Ahtun's, he would show that he is loyal to any who decide to trust him and brave in the face of the unknown.
When Ahtun broke a smile, his brightly burning acquaintance couldn't tell if it was fake.
Two beasts began a journey to the east, one of which having never experienced snow before, was blissfully trotting behind the other, less oblivious one.
Hello (8
Hello. Your deer seems
Oh, nevermind. I guess Ahtun must have met someone else with large ornamental antlers like that.
Could be it really, I don't
Pleasure for us to meet you, though. (:
It was a pleasure to meet you
___________________________ F
___________________________
For a long time, we walked in silence; the exception being the occasional sizzling and bubbling of the Nina Isi's contents spilling onto the ground, marking our path. Having experience with climbing steep cliffs and jagged terrain, I would often stop to peer down at my friend and see how he was doing. Every once in a while I would talk to him; sometimes it would be about the golden one, or what life was like here in the forests. And each time he would respond with a grunt or a few bubbly pops.
Between the melancholic, resigned feelings troubling me about the golden one and admirable fascination of my new comrade, a sense of hope wrapped itself around my shoulders like a warm, knit scarf. As long as I keep looking, there is still a chance.
Perhaps if I continued to speak about the golden one, the Nina Isi [that is, if he could understand what I was saying] might be able to get a rough picture of the creature and be of some help to me to find it.
After all, I was glad that I had somebody [something..?] to talk to; for the last time I uttered a word at all was the day I was found.
With Ahtun leading the way,
With Ahtun leading the way, the elemental would slow down to take in the environment that they were passing through. At one point, Nina Isi's vision was drawn to a spot on the ground in front of him from the jerky movements of an injured cricket.
Curious, he moved closer to the insect. Closer.
Then - *sizzle* Too close. The cricket was splattered with a lethal drop of lava.
Flowing rock became brighter - hotter, even - when he realized he had unintentionally killed the thing. Irritation at himself quickly turned into a downcast mood. The brightness deceased a great deal. Although Ahtun occasionally spoke to him from up front, the Nina Isi was disturbed. Still, he would listen. Not being able to communicate like Ahtun (or even understand him) made the elemental more despondent. How he wished he could tell him the problem!
The emotion behind Ahtun's words sounded discouraged...near hopeless. Ignis didn't want to see his friend so unhappy. Both being in bad spirits, the fire deer made up his mind to walk apace with Ahtun
in attempt to feel better.
Glad to have company calmed him a bit.
Much time had passed from the
"Quickly", I called out to Nina Isi. "We have to find a place to sleep before the sun drops."
Scanning the mountainside for any caves or cliffs, my eyes travel to the west and I spot an empty-looking dugout under a small, jagged rock face.
Looking over my shoulder at the walking mass of magma, I raised my eyebrows as indication that I had found a resting area.
When we reach the dugout, I realize that it was exactly the opposite of a dugout. Before us, a huge hole extended outward in a half-moon shape, taking up the entire floor space of the cave and leaving the rocky walls bare and tall, stretching downward towards pitch-black oblivion.
Instincts kicked in and I immediately jumped back from the trench.
"Okay, forget about that", I said as my heart thumped against my chest.
With shaky legs and fast breaths, I led the Nina Isi away from the cavity and to a little crevice in the north side, which, despite all my times to climb this mountain, I hadn't noticed before.
Willingly trailing his hairy
Willingly trailing his hairy acquaintance, the walking lava absorbed the urgency in his voice.
Taking note of the darkening sky, Nina Isi understood what Ahtun was looking for.
Suddenly Ahtun turned to him, the lines of thick hair above his eyes moving up and down. The elemental didn't know what it meant, but soon saw they were nearing a cliff face.
At the bottom of the rock face the leader peered down - and so did the fire stag.
His friend's reaction was concerning.
Uttering something with a tone that matched his now pale face, Ahtun quickly withdrew from the edge of the ravine.
Extremely curious, the Nina Isi warily inched toward it.
A dark nothingness greeted his eyes, striking fear as well as wonder into his mind.
He spun around hurriedly to catch up with the deer, who was leading them hopefully somewhere safer.
A rush of joy surged through
Smiling genuinely this time, I ushered the Nina Isi over to the star-gazing rock, climbing up from the back and sitting on the ledge to show him that it was safe. Soon, he joined me, and together we watched in silence as the sun set below the edge of the earth; bringing a brilliant sky dotted with twinkling little stars.
Suddenly, a big, golden star fell out of its place in the sky, growing brighter and brighter as it left a trail of striped light on the bluish-black canvas. My eyes grew wide in recognition to the color--the same color of the golden one!
I will find you one day, golden one. I will...", I murmured to myself. My eyes began to fill with tears. I had always cried alone, but for some reason did not mind as the burning beast sat there next to me, observing the drops rolling down my cheeks.
Sniffing to gain control of my emotions, I wiped the tears from my face on my shoulder and turned to look my friend.
"There was a time once when I first came into this world. A golden creature discovered me in a closed hole underground. The creature pulled me out and took care of me until I learned to stand on my legs, but left soon afterwards. The creature was so tall; I remember barely being able to crane my neck up to see its face. The golden one was so caring, so gentle. It has been a long time since that day, and still I am trying to find it..."
My eyelids drooped, my head dipping, I fell asleep in the middle of my explanation.
But for the first time, I was warm as I slept on the star-gazing rock. My dreams were full of smeared, golden light and radiant colors, warm feelings, and an emotion that I had never felt before---which I dubbed, ''happy''.
I know this is gonna sound
I know this is gonna sound jealous of me, but I'm happy that you seem to prefer my deer's company over anyone else's.
***********
Startled by the abrupt change in Ahtun's mood, the fire beast felt excitement with his excitement, too.
The elemental watched as the elated young deer clambered to perch upon this particular rock overhang, and accepted the invitation to sit beside him.
Both gaped at the wondrous, shifting sky far above in peaceful silence. When a shooting star stole their attention, Ahtun seemed to be whisked away to another place and time.
Nina Isi could see and literally feel the emotion pouring from his friend, who was still very much a mystery to him.
When Ahtun faced the glowing hot being and began to speak with a tone of importance and reminisce, he longed ever more to understand his language.
"Hhhrrrrooummrmm", a gravely moan laced with frustration bubbled from the cavity in his face, along with some scorching hot liquid rock chunks.
The Lava had been wondering why Ahtun's face was leaking the very element that could very well harm him. Content with a sliver of confused, the elemental's thoughts went by too fast for evaluation. Observing his friend nearly pass out next to him had him going for the rest of the night, regarding that he doesn't require sleep anyway.
I've never had such an
______________________________________________________________
I stretched my legs and yawned. Rolling over on my side to feel a cooler place on the rock, I misjudged entirely and ended up falling off the ledge. A surprised shout and sore bottom when I reached the ground woke me up. But I did sleep like a rock.
Speaking of rocks...
Shaking myself off, I climbed back up onto the star-gazing rock again. The Nina Isi was intently watching me, sunken sockets following me in what seemed to be concern.
Had he been awake the whole night?
"I'm alright, my fiery friend. Just had a little fall is all," I reassured him.
Feeling a pang of hunger coming on, my thoughts shifted to food.
"I don't know about you," I indicated to the Nina Isi with my eyes, "But I'm ravenous!"
The hunk of burning rock ignited in flames, groaning enthusiastically.
On the way back down the mountain, I was mainly focused on searching for my favorite red fern; but made time to ask the Nina Isi between bites of my breakfast about what he ate, if anything at all.
It looks as if he would probably consume something that would fuel his energy.
All night the Nina Isi
All night the Nina Isi watched over Ahtun, listening to the strange little noises he made in his sleep.
His melty core warmed the rock, which his friend seemed to like, and stayed warm long after he got up from it. In addition to a seat-warmer, the elemental also lit the place fairly brightly in the darkness. Ahtun didn't seem too happy about the light though! XP
As the fireball crawled up the sky in the west, Ignis' naturally generated heat and light were soon to be replaced.
Awkwardly staring with interest, he observed Ahtun extending all four of his limbs while wiggling his body and sucking in a gulp of air with mouth ajar.
Unexpectedly, he rolled onto the ground and let out a yelp!
The Lava kept an open ear to Ahtun nosing around in the grass as he tagged along.
"RRRHHhhhrrrh!", Flames wrapped him like a quilt.
Ahtun would soon learn the answer to his internal query when in the distant forested hills, a small grass fire caused by extreme drought billowed grey-white smoke, spoiling the cloudless perfect blue mountain sky.
I was just finishing a
The only time I had witnessed something like this happening was when the Nina Isi appeared.
"Look, Nina!" I pointed in the direction of the fire with one of my antlers.
The fire deer seemed to become excited, flames wrapping themselves around him. He ran towards the fumes, leaving a trail of singed greenery behind.
I looked on in anticipation as the Nina Isi would soon find another like himself---but my feelings turned to confusion as the fire seemed to die out.
"What happened, my friend? Who did you find?"
The blazing beast just glanced at me contently.
When I began this comment, I
I'm not sure exactly when normal roleplays are supposed to end...but I'm enjoying the length of this one! (:
*********
The Lava had sensed in no time the presence of flames close, apart from his own. Ahtun helped him pinpoint the location. Galloping off into smoking woods, Nina Isi searched the ground and trees for the fire. For lava elementals, 2 kinds of edible flames existed: flames found anywhere but volcanoes, and flames from volcanic erruptions.
They had discovered forest fire flames, a fortunate find in the condition he would be in if Ahtun hadn't spotted the smoke.
Nearing the heart of the fire brought to sight huge flames, some even taller than he himself. The grass had been burned down to the dirt and small clearings were being made where trees fell dangerously close to the elemental.
The beast shape-shifted his entire jaw so that the molten esophagus was exposed. Steamy liquid rock gushed from the opening, but it wasn't his primary concern.
Inhaling like a powerful vacuum, tall flames were sucked into his mouth when he locked focus on them. For smaller flames, he would bend his neck to get closer.
Soon all fire in sight was gone. The Nina Isi's strength was returning, and would be replenished for Ahtun's mission. In one smooth motion, he shape-shifted the portion of lava he displaced back to where the jaw was holding up.
Returning to his hybrid buddy he felt content and full for the first time in a long time. It was a feast fit for a beast!
I have no idea, either. But
____________________________________________
An awkward moment passed as I tried to look at the Nina Isi's body language for clues on what happened, and the smoldering creature stared back, passive and unmoving.
"Ehh...let's keep moving, huh?" I said, trying to choke back a laugh.
For some reason, awkward moments made me burst out laughing shortly after, and I still had no idea why.
Before long, I had a stomach full of fern, the Nina Isi's flames were more vibrant, and we had both made it down off of the mountainside.
Racking my mind for ideas of where to take him next, I turned to my searing hot buddy and blurted out, "That was an adventure, was it not? Where do you want to go now? It is your turn to take us...if you want."
Waiting for the fire elemental to reply, it finally hit me, and I could feel the blood rush up to my face, making it warm.
He could not understand me.
He never understood what I was saying the whole time.
"Son of Michael!" I exclaimed in frustration. If he cannot understand me, and I cannot understand him, then a different kind of communication should be made.
One using more body language.
I faced the Nina Isi once more, moving my eyebrows up and down and shifting my eyes from left to right, hoping that the steam machine would get my implied message.
So sleepy I ca barely keep my
I need a little more rest...I;ll be back on the site in 17 hours or so
Don't miss meh
ooooo you sound neat i'm
you sound neat
i'm gonna track this c:
Thank you c:
Track. :3
Sorry to keep you waiting; I
So glad you joined me at the playground! (;
But you left so soon! :[
**********
Nina Isi observed closely his mysterious friend's facial expressions, and inwardly laughed at the interesting little guttural sounds he made. Weaving their way down the mountainside, Ahtun startled the Lava with his sudden burst of language in an exasperated tone of question.
When the elemental studied Ahtun's face, now different with realization, he tried confirming it with a slow nod of his oozing head.
The young organic life exclaimed frustratedly, flesh on his face changing color, turned to Nina Isi.
Those dark curves of hair above Ahtun's eyes worked up and down again, while beautiful glistening grey eyes danced side to side. A haze of red blanketed the melting one's vision so that everything he saw was that hue. (He assumed Ahtun's vision was the same as well).
Ignis knew this being was attempting to communicate in a way he would understand; however, the creature's bright yet ignorant mind couldn't comprehend the message.
Yes, I have school to keep me
_________________________________________
Waiting for a sign, a hint, or a show of body language from the fire deer, I relaxed my own body. If he can communicate through body language, I should try not to show him that I am upset. I managed a smile and continued to stare at the Nina Isi's melty face and oozing body for clues. When none were seen and the rising feeling of disappointment threatened, I let my head droop.
"That's fine. That's perfect," I mumbled to myself.
"I think I understand now. I'll just keep talking."
Who else did I have to talk to?
I have spent enough time around the Glitch to know that she speaks a language. But it is not mine; I cannot understand a word of it, and it sounds far too complex. At least she is friendly and entertaining to be around.
Wait---but where did I learn my language from? The golden one?
I began to space out, mouth hanging open in deep thought, letting a small string of drool down out of the side.
I can't remember anything except being found by the golden one, being raised for awhile, and being left behind.
But how...?
I know a language, but nobody I have found yet speaks it.
I know I am a creature, but I have not yet seen anybody like me.
Am I Alone?
What am I?
So many unanswered questions were floating around inside of my head.
A deep, gurgling grunt interrupts my day dream and I blink a few times, remembering where I am.
The Nina Isi seems to stare at me with a concerning expression, molten mouth sagging slightly at the corners.
I chucked sarcastically, and stated, "I'm okay. Yeah. I'm perfect. I have no idea who I am or where I'm from or WHO THE GOLDEN ONE IS!!!"
My anger seized me and I began to run around, kicking all of the stones that the fire deer had left behind, flinging them up into the air or hurting my foot when I misjudged how heavy one would be.
At this point, I was shouting at the top of my lungs, and my vision was blurred with tears, so I could only see a fuzzy smear of yellow-orange as I raged around him.
Join the club!
Join the club!
*********
Nina Isi stood near Ahtun, studying his movements, body language and tone of voice when he spoke.
From this, he could grasp that his friend was upset - but what was causing this feeling?
Had his mission failed?
Does Ahtun know where he is going?
"Uuuhhghrrggh", he burbled.
Alarmed and confused, the fire deer watched as the speckled one flapped his face hole, anger and frustration practically dripping from his lips. Emotions increased in intensity until, to the elemental, it felt as if he were standing in a whirlwind of negatively charged atmosphere.
The core of his body brightened with a wave of surprise while slowly backing away a few steps.
Struck with idea, Nina Isi opened his mouth to let golden steamy liquid flow, pooling onto the burnt ground below. Just as quickly as he opened up, he closed again with a gentle oven-like breath. Before his two front hooves was a small round stone - but this one wasn't gray like the others. It was alive with the very essence that was the difference between Nina Isi being a breathing, moving being and just a heap of thousand-degree molten rock.
He stooped down to it, and the shape became that of a heart. Its surface was still visibly flowing with golden-orange streaks of earth mineral.
Ahtun still fuming, the Lava moved closer to him and bellowed shortly for his attention.
Hey!! Made me shake a little
I MISSED YOU....;u;
I have some leisure time for Thanksgiving holiday week, so I can rp with you and visit with Ahtun if you're up for it!
Hi, friend! Long time no see
______________________________________________________________
I was just beginning to wind down from my tantrum when I heard the Nina Isi call for my attention. It was only when I slowed to a trot that I realized my face was damp with...well, of course. I must have looked as embarrassed as I felt, for the smudge resembling the Nina Isi's face was sympathetic towards me. Trudging over to where he was, I noticed the stone at his feet.
Actually, it was far from a stone.
As soon as I saw the beautiful glowing thing, I stopped short, sucked in a breath, and fell to my knees.
From the ground, half in a daze, I got a better view of the thing.
The object was brilliant-- it was glowing bright orange and golden and red, and thin lines of dark, moving particles swam in, over, and throughout its shape. The shape....was extraordinary. The first thing that came to mind was my own heart. My physical heart? That force that beats within my chest?
The strange glowing shape was beating strangely, jerking--almost spasmodically at first. The longer I stared at it, its brilliance and its radiance, my body began to relax. My face went slack, and my shoulders loosened. The rest of my body followed; and a normal breath was returned to my lungs. The longer I stared, the greater a feeling increased.
Was it...fear?
Wonder?
I kept staring, and it kept increasing.
Guilt?
Sorrow?
All of the moving particles were slowing down now, and the shape was beating slower, more forcefully.
A feeling pushed its way to the front inside of me.
By now my whole body was limp, and all I could do was lay there on the ground and watch the strange glowing shape in front of me.
Peace.
It was a feeling I could not remember feeling.....ever. A peace this deep. It could not be described in any tongue.
By now the shape sitting at the Nina Isi's feet solidified. It was the most beautiful color I had ever seen. It was as if a whole world--an essence--was frozen, captured inside of it.
I could not speak.
I could not move.
I could not remember feeling this relaxed since I was in the care of the golden one.
There was something I was upset about....what was it?
Ah...I can't remember, so I guess it must not matter.
All I could see was the shape--it was all that I ever wanted to see. I didn't want to see anything else.
A peaceful, drowsiness washed over me warmly, and I embraced its open arms.
I am doing well! Thank you!
Your reply is beautifully written! I love it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The call of the Nina Isi was answered, and his efforts did not go to waste. Ahtun approached him with a wet face and ragged breath from the display of emotions. But soon, much to the fire deer's relief, the young piebald's knees bent him to the ground, and he seemed captivated by this piece of wonder.
The heart-shaped essence beat in time with the elemental's own heart. Yet, the beast had not realized how much this act would cost him, being a new creature with little knowledge of himself.
A sweet feeling came upon the two, each unaware that the other was feeling the same.
When Ahtun closed his eyes at last, after staring at the essence for so long, his head laid down between his black hooves in the burnt grasses, as not a worry left in the world.
Ignis crumpled after him, drooping and weakened from the energy expended giving up a piece of his life force to see his friend happy again.
Satisfaction with Ahtun's reaction, and just plain contentment from having the only company in the world from him, Nina Isi let his melty body relax, too, with the distinct odor of sulfur and burning vegetation encompassing them.
♥
I'm glad to hear that,
_____________________________________
It was a dream....or a memory. I was happy, sleepy. A warm, cozy feeling enveloped me. I felt safe, and knew that nothing could harm me.
Or try to.
The nice feeling didn't last long. It was dissolved and replaced by a dull, sickening feeling in my gut. Turning my head to the side, I saw an enormous black cloud in the distance. The black. . .it was horrible. Awful. Terror and panic jolted in my chest and I tried to get up from my spot on the ground. My legs would not budge; they seemed to be made of stone.
The impending black doom was shifting towards me now.
Screaming, I made every attempt possible to stand up and move, but I could not. Was this how it was going to end?
"No."
It was a simple word. Yet I felt power when I spoke it.
"NOOOOO!!!"
I could feel strength returning to my legs, a tingling sensation.
Leaping up and out of the spot of comfort I was in, I jolted and bolted and ran all the way up the treeless hill which rose behind me. Once at the peak, I scanned the strangely beautiful horizon for the evil black cloud, but could not find it.
Heaving a sigh, I collapsed to the ground again, but this time with an uncomfortable uncertainty.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, I fell back asleep.
***
When I opened my eyes, an amazingly hued, alluring stone sat on the grass in front of my face. It was so close, I could smell it. Smoky...with hints of something sweet that I couldn't identify.
I lifted my head up from the ground. The Nina Isi had to be around here somewhere. I remembered that it was his.
"Nina?"
Freezing in my place on the ground, I scrunched up my face. How could I know that this wasn't still the dream? Or part of it?
Attempting to move my back leg to make sure, it would not budge. I could not feel it.
"Uhhh....ehhhh!!"
I commenced thrashing about wildly in the grass, only to realize a few moments later that my leg was just asleep from laying in an awkward position.
The same tingling sensation came into it, and I was able to stand on all fours shortly afterward.
My eyes scanned the area for my friend, but the bright, burning entity was nowhere in sight. He must have gotten distracted by something, I thought to myself.
"Nina Isi!!", I shouted.
Mmhh, yes. So thankful for
I realized I don't have enough time (30 min to an hour) to reply to the rp today, unfortunately, but I came across a song that made me think so heavily of your deer. I sat and let the music envelope me, take me to another world...and I watched Ahtun walking alongside Nina Isi in a green, grassy field. The empahsis was put on Ahtun because for the most part the daydream, vision, (don't know what to call it) was focused on him. It made him look handsome and lonely, but then again I don't know how you see Ahtun.
It was like a movie or something wonderfully animated and with colors true to life!!
I kept my eyes closed for more but that was all I saw. It was touching, so here I am telling you about it (:
I may have that window of time I usually have for writing a reply tomorrow. Hope you enjoy the song, Below.
