An ear flicked at the sigh,

An ear flicked at the sigh, and stayed turned towards the red stag when he spoke. Unsure if he should look since he didn't want to be told not to stare, the reindeer turned his head enough to look at Jergens.
...
Not a pretty sight, was the thought that came to mind, but he wouldn't say that.

Ice-colored eyes blinked. "Hate...? I doubt they hate anyone."
GingerNut's picture

His throat hurt from talking

His throat hurt from talking so much, odd considering how he was a bit infamous for never shutting the Hell up.
No, it wasn't even the Gods' fault to begin with.
His expression changed, and he looked away, almost stupidly, over a nearby bird on a bare branch.
"Touk... this place... I don't think I can take much more of it..." he shivered, his head tucking down a bit.
"I didn't do anythin' bad... why are there so many deer who want to hurt me?" a hyperbole, and only somewhat true in it's own right.
His lips trembled, the nub of his ear twitching over and over again.
"...What did I do wrong..."
Jergens always had a habit of being incoherent when he was upset.
Pegasicorn's picture

[[Slight bad language

[[Slight bad language warning? 8D; ]]

What could he say to that? He had no idea. There was probably no right answer he could give either. But Toukan couldn't stay silent; he had to say something.

He frowned. "I'm sure there's assholes who start shit for no reason everywhere you go." He didn't normally swear much, but those words seemed the most fitting to use.
GingerNut's picture

If today had been even

If today had been even relatively normal, Jergens would have laughed and offered a half-assed retort. Even during the whole 'Jack episode' he would had least chuckled at hearing good ol' saintly Touk talk trash.

He didn't even crack a smile, let alone blink, which was abnormal to the point of being a bit frightening.

"Why..." he breathed. It wasn't a question, just a statement.
Pegasicorn's picture

Ok, he was more than just

Ok, he was more than just concerned now. He thought his rare use of swear words would get a reaction - or more of a reaction than he got. What the hell had happened? He still hadn't found out. But did he want to know? He wasn't even sure what to say now.
GingerNut's picture

He looked around, flinching

He looked around, flinching slightly as a crow screamed at them from a higher branch, but otherwise it was almost as if he was in a bit of a trance. His eye was glossed over and almost milky in color.

"Two times now..." he muttered to himself, whipping his neck back to grab a stray rose petal that had tangled itself in his curly pelt, laying it out in front of him, smoothing it out with his hoof almost obsessively, not even bothering to notice that he was crushing it into a fragrant pulp.

"What am I supposed to tell Peony...?" he looked back over at the reindeer, obviously not forgotten, and, like always when he was this upset, expecting him to know everything that had happened.

((Fffff... I hate him for being vague... Apologies >>))
Pegasicorn's picture

[[It's fine. Makes for a need

[[It's fine. Makes for a need to ask questions is all.]]

Toukan's brow creased at the muttered words, trying to figure out what they meant. He watched the rose petal get crushed, concern growing as Jergens didn't seem to realize what he was doing.

His head jerked up with a surprised blink, not expecting to be talked to again. He'd been a bit distracted at seeing the petal turn into smaller pieces. "What?" was the "intelligent" response.
GingerNut's picture

For a long time he didn't say

For a long time he didn't say anything. The petal, long since crumbled to a gooey pulp, seemed to offer more of an attention focal point than Toukan's question did. Though after a time, he finally looked up at him, his ear flattening against the back of his skull.

"How do I tell her that Rose..." he mumbled, stopping abruptly before he finished his sentence, bringing his hoof down again and again and again and again and again before he finally stopped, looking back at the reindeer.

Almost as if that imagery would be enough for him to get the point.

((I know... but it's his most annoying character trait ;; ))
Pegasicorn's picture

He jumped again as the

He jumped again as the crushed rose petal was suddenly smashed repeatedly under Jergens' hoof. Why was he--...

A rose petal?
Smashing it after saying something about "Rose".
...
...oh.

Icy eyes widened. "What happened to Rose?" He'd only met the little blue stag once, but that didn't mean he hoped the conclusion he came to was right.
GingerNut's picture

He stared the remains with a

He stared the remains with a sort of oblivious gaze, but Toukan's blunt question seemed to grab his attention.

What happened... what happened...

Jergens blinked a few times, biting his lower lip. "Poppies... there were... a bunch of poppies... I know. Rose told me once about all the fucken' flowers in this goddamn forest." he paused, taking in a few breaths, trying to get at least a tiny grasp on the reality outside his delusional mind.

"My brother-in-law... h-he was there too... a-a-and..." he stuttered, taking in gulps of air.

He pressed his head against the ground as if to hide himself, shivers racking up his spine.

"It looked like it hurt... so thin... he was so thin... a-and... cold..." he sighed shakily, tail whipping back and forth wildly.
Pegasicorn's picture

"..." He didn't know what to

"..." He didn't know what to say. What could he say that would help? So instead, Toukan did the only thing he could think of.

He rose to his hooves, slowly closed the distance between them, lowered himself to the ground, and rested his neck on Jergens in mimicry of a hug.

He didn't think of the possibility of getting shoved away or anything.

[[Gonna be taking off soon. It's almost 2am.]]
GingerNut's picture

He didn't return the

He didn't return the comforting gesture. Rather, he simply stared straight ahead, practically going limp.

"...What am I supposed to do...?" he clumsily whispered, like a little kid stuck on a math problem.

He stiffened, finally collapsing his neck onto Toukan's back out of exhaustion, burying his face into his winter coat.

((Same here x3 *salutes*))
Pegasicorn's picture

Whether the question was

Whether the question was meant to be rhetorical or not, Toukan answered anyway. "Just...live, I suppose..." Seemed much easier said than done, if he thought about it. If put in the same position as Jergens--...not something he wanted to think about.

[[Morning! *flees*]]
GingerNut's picture

Just... live... He wished

Just... live...

He wished Toukan would be more specific, but that was really as detailed as one could get, wasn't it?

His shoulders shook, whether out of silent sobs or a side-effect of his nervous breakdown was a mystery.

It almost seemed as if the stag had read his mind. "Would yew find that helpful if yew were me?" he asked dully, voice muffled from the reindeer's fur.

"God... just imagining them lying there right now..." he whimpered, a panicky sigh exploding from his chest.

((Buenas Dias =D *scuttlescuttle*))
Pegasicorn's picture

He sighed softly, probably

He sighed softly, probably too quietly to hear. No, probably not... he mentally responded. But what was he supposed to answer that question with? It wasn't like this was a common occurrence, and words weren't really his strong suit.

"You still have Peony, and you still have your friends..." It couldn't hurt to remind Jergens of that.

Someone suggest something to sculpt. The snow might be workable again.

Oh, and I had signed up for one of the tickets to go to the Abio that went on earlier, but my username is still in the system. So until it's out, if you see Toukan, I'm playing version 3.31

The nub of his ear pricked up

The nub of his ear pricked up at that remark, ant the stag seemed to contemplate it for a little while.

"It gonna hurt to just look at her fer awhile..." he muttered, feeling a bit guilty for even thinking that (even if it was true). After all, none of this was her fault.

"Friends." he paused, eye narrowing as he shook his head. "With my shitty luck, they'll all drop like flies."

Just because his words were were coherent didn't mean he was listening to what words came out of his mouth. Odd, strange and pessimistic words.

Pessimism.

Certainly not a part of the 'Jergens Way'.

((Busybusy >w> Oooohhh, and as for sculpting a fish, I found this adorable bugger~ 83 Maybe he'd work for youuuu~))
Pegasicorn's picture

This was certainly testing

This was certainly testing his "word skills". Time to try injecting some optimism, even if there wasn't much to be optimistic about. "...you could think of her as a part of Rosine living on." I still need to ask Suiren about teaching Peony martial arts. Might be a better idea now... "...and...I know I don't plan on dying anytime soon." Toukan slightly shook his head, it still being laid across Jergens' back. "I've cheated death twice; I'll keep cheating it if I can." There was too much he wanted to live for. (He would have looked at the lightning bolt-shaped necklace he now wore if it didn't mean having to move his head.)

He sighed again, biting his

He sighed again, biting his lower lip over and over till it bled out of nervousness. "She's stubborn... Remember when she tried to take down that bitch Illrose?" he mumbled, pausing once.

"I tried tellin' her to stop actin' the hero, but hell, she wouldn't take it." a dry, emotionless chuckle escaped him, but it sounded more like a sob. "Guess that shows how much of a shitty parent I am... can't even keep my own kid in control..." he shifted himself a bit over, muscles tensing.

"I can't hide it from her... she'll know it was Ren who..." he gulped, body racking in violent shivers.

"If she goes after that son of a bitch... If he finds out that she's our kid..." he lifted his head, and a few tears managed to spill from his eyes.

"I'm so scared, Touk..." he whispered. "Fer her... myself... just... everything..."

((D8 You hurt his feelingsssss ;A; I think it's cute...))
Pegasicorn's picture

"I remember that. She wanted

"I remember that. She wanted revenge on Illrose for what she did to you." And Toukan had been there for the end of it when Peony had realized she'd gotten in over her head. "Doesn't mean you're a shitty parent. It means she cares.

"I also remember telling her that if she really needs to, I'd ask my sister to teach her how to fight."
His voice had a guilty tinge to it. "...but now I'm not sure I should if it means she might be more likely to try going after Ren..." He didn't want anyone to have to deal with him. Even not searching him out could get him after you at some point. Toukan had been bothered once when he was injured even.

[[I was half-braindead on this for awhile. |D And still am, so sorry if it sucks a bit.
AND I STILL DON'T LIKE BLOB FISH. They creep me out... D=]]




BLOG POST
Just going to add this onto here so it's not a double-post so soon after. |D

I tested having Toukan in version 3.4 about an hour ago and he was no longer getting redirected to the Abio server. So 3.31 no longer needs to be used for him.

Damn it, guacamole I just made cuz an avocado was accidentally put in one of the grocery bags, I wanted to eat you. Wonder how bad I'd be if I'd had more than I did before noticing...


...yea, I don't have anything else to put here. My life is boring. XD;
Gonna add Midnight to my list of deer references to draw. She needs one, too, since I've never posted a full color picture of her on here before. (Did one on iScribble for planning purposes, but that was it.)

"If she really cared, she

"If she really cared, she would listen to her dad fer once in her life." he muttered sourly, ear pricking at Touk's more-or-less remorseful statement.

"Jeebas... Do I need to keep the kid on a leash?" he breathed, sounding more exhausted than annoyed or angry. "She's a smart kid, lot more bright than me, that's fer sure. Even if yer sister wouldn't let her, she'd try and convince her anyway. Hell, she'd beg if she had to." he lifed his head and looked around, cocking his gaze to the sky.

I can't even think straight right now..." he sighed, watching as light glittered through the branches of the trees.

((I was braindead for an entire day 8D
And fff ;; Ah... to each his own...))

"If I'd listened to my

"If I'd listened to my father, I'd still be in a zoo..." Toukan mumbled to himself. He wasn't really aware he'd said that out loud either.

He lifted his head to look at Jergens, both brows raised at the "leash" comment. This is why I doubt I could handle kids. I'd be sleeping more than I already do... "Suiren can be kind of...intimidating, though. And she's got quite the poker face. If she doesn't think it's a good idea to teach Peony, it'll be really difficult to convince her otherwise."

I am definitely not adopting any kids. He snorted softly in amusement. Bet Kylar would do a happy dance if he heard that.

BLOG POST

I'll admit I'm not a fan of that one deer so much due to how how they act a lot. But there is a limit to how much you deal with them. Even if you're using a "non-aggressive tactic" (e.g., nuzzling), that can become just as annoying as someone constantly trying to fight.

Just think about it.

BLOG POST

There is currently what appears to be a Cooper's hawk perched in one of the trees out back. It's been there for over an hour, just sitting in the same spot. Might be digesting, since I'm pretty sure it was eating a sparrow earlier. (Kind of upset me since I like sparrows, too, but hawks need to eat to, so...)
First time I've seen one of these birds before. I knew we had red shouldered hawks in the area (I see them gliding by sometimes), but not Cooper's hawks.
It's a fluffy little thing. Laughing out loud Wish I had a good camera.

Seems like a lot of things happen in TEF when I'm distracted by other things. Laughing out loud
I just spent I don't know how many hours making the "Ninja House" in Sims 2 and moving in Suiren and Toukan. |D

And I've come to the conclusion that the winter was giving me the downs. I felt kind of depressed and unmotivated for awhile and couldn't figure out why. But today was unusually warmer, and my mood was just great...until it started to get cloudy around 5pm. |D The week will continue to warm up until the weekend. It'll feel like spring for the next few days.
Maybe the ground hog that didn't see its shadow was right. Laughing out loud

Man, I know exactly how you feel, with everything from the Sims 2 to the winter downs XD Take screencaps of your sims, plx? And I hope it starts getting warmer for you soon. We had some nice weather today that I wish I'd taken advantage of. I'm just happy to be able to feel my fingers when I type, haha.

*clings to art and music files* I never wanna lose you guys again! D;

...ok, to be serious...
I have my old files back! 8D I figured out how to put the old computer's hard drive in this new computer. Doesn't matter about the old hard drive having Windows XP on it; it won't be picked up on as long as the main hard drive is still working.
*currently listening to her music* I was going insane without it.

I almost couldn't figure out how to get the side panel off this machine. But now that I know how... *glances in old computer's direction with its graphic card in mind* ...very tempted to see if I can get that in this machine. It has the right type of slot for it...but it looked like a small fan might be in the way. Hm...I'll try another day.

Happy [age omitted] birthday to my mom!

An odd look of disbelief came

An odd look of disbelief came over Toukan's face. "...what?" He couldn't have heard that right. Because if Jergens had really asked him to pretend to be essentially his boyfriend, then...
"What?" Apparently his mind couldn't fully process the thought.

He blinked. It wasn't obvious? "It has a lot to do with it." Now Toukan was the one confused. He didn't know how to explain this when he didn't think he'd have to.

His ear drooped even more.

His ear drooped even more. "Eh, least he's gone now... friggen creeper..." he muttered sourly, plopping his head down with a heavy sigh. "So what's up? Haven't seen ya in awhiles." he abruptly changed the subject.

Toukan blinked again, this

Toukan blinked again, this time at the change of subject...but he went with it since the last subject had been getting awkward anyway. Quite a bit had happened recently actually. He was glad Jergens seemed to be doing better, too. He'd avoid a certain subject just in case.
"Let's see...I think this one stag was trying to claim me since he was getting his scent all over me which annoyed me and pissed my boyfriend off - had to prevent a fight from happening even...then there was the Valentine's Dance...and one of my friends has been acting weird for a few days...

"But other than that..."
He shrugged. "Just the usual's been going on." His voice had remained quite casual, as if he were discussing nothing big.

DEER STATUS Toukan isn't

DEER STATUS

Toukan isn't feeling too great, so don't mind him as he stays collapsed for awhile.
Cracked ribs from being rammed into head on, gash on his left side surrounded by bruising, scratches to the legs (varying amounts on each; more to the front due to having to rely on boxing with his hooves).
He's not going to be moving much for awhile, and breathing will not be fun.
