((Aww, I'll gladly RP with you! I will use Uruu, my main deer. Her bio is here.))

The source of the noise was a young doe who bore a striking pelt that was as blue as the midnight sky. The nape of her neck was painted with flecks of light green that shimmered in the midday sunlight, appearing as if her pelt was made of the feathers of a magpie. Her face was pale, yet her eyes bright and kindly. Feeling particularly chipper this day, as she normally was, she had decided to make her way to the pond for a drink after a good romp through the forest.

Upon seeing the other doe, however, she stopped short and gazed at her kin from a distance. "Oh...hello, there! I do hope I am not disturbing you," she called out in her soft voice, which seemed to bear a hint of playfulness to it. Her short tail wagged slightly, her large ears perked and her head slightly tilted.

((You are most welcome! As for the font color, all you need to do is put the following tag in front of and after your dialogue: < font color="#inserthexcodehere" >"Talking and stuff!"< / font> A great place to pick out and copy a hex code would be here. Remember to keep the "#" sign in when inserting your hex code, and to remove the spaces in the tags above! ^_^))

A smile formed on the dark-pelted doe's face as the other spoke, promptly bowing in return and flicking her ears happily. "It's a pleasure to meet you too, Fae. My name is Uruu!" she replied eagerly. At Fae's request, Uruu bounced slightly on her front legs, a soft laugh escaping her. "I would not mind in the least; it's always nice to have company when relaxing," she replied, trotting forward to close the distance between the two does a little.

Smiling wide, she tilted her head again and trotted to the water's edge. "Shall we?" Uruu said as she looked over her shoulder at Fae, the flowers upon her brow rustling slightly.

Uruu sipped at the water quietly, enjoying its refreshing coolness and Fae's gracious company. After a couple of gulps, her ears flicked to the question, and she raised her head and faced Fae with a smile on her face and a blush gracing her cheeks. "Oh, thank you!" she replied, bowing her head gratefully and blushing a little more. "It...it means 'little flower'. It is what my mother named me before she..."

The doe's words suddenly trailed off, and she stood still and gazed off into the distance. Her eyes were sullen and devoid of the cheerfulness she had possessed before. After a moment, she shook her head a little and gazed at Fae apologetically. "I am sorry...it is nothing." Shifting from foot to foot, she smiled up at Fae. "Your name is very lovely as well. Does it have a meaning also?" she asked cheerfully, as if nothing had happened.

((Hm, that's strange...it should still show up in the preview. I'm sure you'll get it working in no time. ^_^))

((Hmm... What exactly are you writing for the code? I probably didn't explain it very well. Just be sure to leave spaces in the tags so I can read it. 83))

The smile found its way back to Uruu's face at Fae's explanation. "Reliable...that is a very good quality to have. I am sure that it suits you as well," she replied, and then tilted her head slightly at the added comment. Shaking her head, she replied with a small smile, "It is alright, Fae; you did nothing wrong. It is nothing to worry about." To make her point, she gave the other doe a gentle nuzzle, and her ears perked up at the suggestion.

"Oh yes, I would like that very much!" she replied, perhaps a bit too enthusiastically. Uruu reared slightly, prancing to the side excitedly. Fae was soon to find out that Uruu was quite the energetic deer!

Can I join in here? I haven't done much RPing, so sorry if I mess anything up!

A tiny deer, stag-like but in miniature, crashed raucously through the underbrush, flushing out a few squirrels which he then gave chase too, laughing as he pranced after them. He was feeling rather pleased with being small, the “mini” spell reducing him more than half his normal size but doubling his mischievous nature by ten fold. He called after the fleeing squirrels, amused by the fawn-like voice that issued from his throat.

“What fun, what fun!” he thought. A murder of crows was flushed out unexpectedly in front of him and he looked up at them still running full tilt forward. A tree stump appeared out of no where. He ran straight into it and was sent tumbling down in a cloud of dust.

“Where did that come from,” he mumbled, his usual good cheer dampened by the harsh fall. He lay in a heap trying to catch his breath and feeling out things. “Anything broke?” he said to himself. He twitched his ears. One at a time. They felt okay. He wiggled his hooves. Okay too. Shakily he got to his feet and looked at his dusty legs. “Umph! He exclaimed. “Now I’m all dirty!” The delicate posies still adorned his massive rack though and that made him smile. His massive, “mini” rack. He giggled at himself.

Then he noticed the doe sitting by the stump that he had oh so recently crashed into.

“Um, hello. I’m Woden.” He told her.

((Hm...it looks like you got the right idea! Although, I think the dark blue is a default color if the code isn't typed in exactly as it should be. Make sure you have apostrophes before and after the hex code, and include the pound sign also, like this: "#FFFFFF" ^_^))

Uruu's smiled widened at the mention of a race...oh, how she loved to run around! Before she could eagerly agree to the challenge, however, the sound of racing hooves and then a loud thud from nearby practically made her jump out of her pelt. With a yelp, Uruu took cover behind Fae, crouched and shivering, her eyes wide and her ears swiveling wildly.

The sounds of bemused muttering reached her ears, however, and she raised her head curiously, but only slightly. She blinked as Fae addressed the creature that had caused such a racket, and she suddenly felt ashamed. Surely, she made a complete fool of herself in front of her new friend. 'Why must I be such a coward?' Uruu thought fiercely to herself, a small sigh escaping her.

Looking up, she fixated her gaze on the curious creature before her and Fae. Indeed, it was a stag who bore an impressive rack, yet his body was quite small in stature. She couldn't help but think that the weight on his head could be the reason why he crashed, and she giggled softly at the thought. Watching him with inquisitive eyes, she gingerly spoke up in a small voice, "Woden...that is an interesting name. Are...are you alright? It sounds like you hit that stump pretty hard..."

((Aw, no worries at all! Role-plays with multiple characters are usually done in the same encounter to avoid confusion, but not always. Perhaps we can figure something out with ickydog! ^_^))

((Sure, that works! I've never tried it this way before, so it should be interesting. Also, it looks like you got the font color to work; good job! 83))

As much as she was still embarrassingly startled by the racket, Uruu was instantly comforted by the nuzzle and the reassuring tone in Fae's voice. Blinking, she looked up at the other doe, tilting her head slightly. 'She...she was startled, too?' she thought to herself in wonder. Uruu laughed softly at Fae's response, her tail wiggling back and forth. "Well, that is surely a relief! I suppose I can be pretty stubborn at times, too."

Her heart started to beat a little faster at the mention of a race, and Uruu reared up playfully with a happy bleat. "Oh, I would love that very much!" Uruu replied enthusiastically. Unable to contain herself, she bolted towards the nearest tree, swung around it and bounded back to the pond, her hooves touching the shore as she faced Fae again, grinning widely. "How about we race to the Playground? I bet I can get there before you!" she challenged with a giggle.

A wide grin appeared on Uruu's face at the question. "Well, let's find out!" she replied with a giggle, stretching her legs and swiveling her ears excitedly. At the beginning of the countdown, Uruu got into position beside her new friend, her neck straight and her legs set and tense. Her heart began to pound faster, and at the command, she sprang forth like a frightened rabbit flushed from the undergrowth. Her ears were pinned behind her skull, and her tail was fully flagged as she raced alongside Fae. Eyes wide and focused, she concentrated on breathing steadily and took in the sounds and smells of the Forest as she surged over the soft earth.

Uruu was concentrating so much on her surroundings that, ironically, she suddenly noticed that Fae was actually ahead of her...but not by much. She grinned, admitting to herself that she was impressed with Fae's speed. Pushing herself forward, Uruu quickly caught up to the other doe, and she cast a playful if not somewhat teasing grin. Indeed, she was soon ahead of Fae by a few heads, tail still flagged tall and acting as a rudder against the wind.

The earth was beginning to harden as Uruu sprinted up a small hill, the Playground now in sight. With a happy bleat, Uruu leapt up onto one of the flat rocks and posed dramatically, grinning from ear to ear. "Oh, that was so much fun...and you are so very fast!" she called out to Fae as she reached the rock as well, panting a little after such a sprint. Leaping back down from the rock, she trotted up to Fae and nuzzles her gently. "I never thought I'd meet my match! I just cannot believe I have never seen you around here before, especially seeing how we are so much alike," she continued breathlessly, ears flicking about almost comically.

Fae saw Uuru reaching the rocks, leaping up on one and striking a dramatic pose. A laugh escaped her and she almost tripped herself. Oh Uuru, she thought, you're just as silly as I am!
Fae reached the rocks, out of breath, but laughing at the fun of the race. "Wow!" Fae panted. "You're FAST! And that was fun!" She nuzzled Uuru back. "We need to run together more often! And I can't believe I haven't seen YOU before!" Her ears flicked around, matching Uuru's movements and she blushed. "What should we do now? We could have a dance party!" she laughed at the thought.
