My day had been very much outside my character. But in all honesty, I enjoyed it. And I shall tell you why.
I had gone out of my shelter of isolation to join what friends I could find. Much to my displeasure, no familiar scents came to me. And so, I found a stag in need of a few spells. One deer I had already met had been helping him with his pelt, so i decided to do the rest. I went and reluctantly ate a few pinecones before the right adornments had been found. And again, I ventured farther and ate mushrooms. Thankfully, the one time I cast a mask spell it ended up to be the one he wanted. And he thanked me. I was about to help with his pelt when a familiar scent faintly trailed to where I was. It was Darcy.
Ah yes, the first deer I had met during my first outing. I must say, our bond has grown quite a bit in such little time. He seemed quite happy to see me, although I looked a bit different. I was not as afraid as I was before, and I greeted him contently. After a few minutes, he led me away from where I was, and let me take the lead for a while. I thought a nice sit in the Old Oak would be enjoyable, but I saw that he had too much energy for such a quiet act. And so I played along. How he ran and jumped around me as I stood so awkwardly! I was nothing like him, but yet I feel so comfortable around him.
Sooner or later, we met up with a few more deer, and quite the peculiar fawn. I read his pictogram as "Bells". What an odd name, but I suppose I shouldn't judge. How many times in my fawnhood have I heard that same thing said towards me? Anyway, he didn't seem very fond of us at all. We crept closer, he backed up. And so we kept our distance. I sensed so much in common between us. We both shared the cold look in our eyes. But he was very disinterested in us. Which made me feel a little strange, but soon he took off. Leaving me, for the thousandth time in my life, baffled.
Two more stags that I remembered from my first outing, Atiq and Reetno. They were much more comfortable around me, and I them. The three stags seemed a little distraught, more than once showing their sadness. I cannot comfort anyone with words, and it pains me to be unable to comfort a sorrowful soul. I went up to them and rubbed against them, hoping they would accept the only way I could comfort them. As soon as Darcy saw this, he seemed... pleased. I had no idea he was so concerned about my position in life. It made me feel that much better to see him cheer up. I almost felt a sense of pride.
Soon, with everyone cheered up, they began to dance. I looked at them with my hollowed eyes, and my mind was stuck. "What should I do?" I thought. "Should I wait, or should I join them?" But the small amount of elation in my heart brought my feet to tap. The familiar music soon filled my ears, and warmed my heart so. I let out a smile in delight, finally seeing that my companions enjoyed my company. I could finally call them my friends.
I noticed that Atiq and Reetno started to frolic. Soon, Darcy joined in. With my heart ever growing, I soon joined them in their merriment. I let my legs bounce off the ground, lifting my thin frame into the air. It started as a mere trot with small pounces, but my heart was flooded with pleasure! I ran in circles, bounding around with my friends and jumping higher than I had ever jumped before! I reared and kicked, and let out a joyous shout!
...A joyous shout?...
My friends stopped immediately and stared in shock... Even Darcy had backed away a little. I froze, my legs trembling. Darcy had questioned what had happened, and I shook my head, a common way for me of saying that I didn't know. I tried it again. Timidly, but loudly, I made another sound. I felt as the air tickled my throat as it left in a haunting, mournful cry. I couldn't believe it. I could speak! After all this time!
... But... As most things in life, this eventually faded. After a few moments, my voice had disappeared once again. As soon as I realized this, my heart sank, to the deepest depths I could ever imagine. What had happened?
After much thought, I came to the conclusion, that the Twin Gods were pleased with my actions, and had sent me a little gift. The happiness that I never felt before, and I was blessed with a single shout of happiness. And another, of disbelief. After I had bid my friends farewell, I looked at the Statue with my sharp observance. I could not see it, but I could feel it. The Twin Gods were smiling warmly at me. I gave them a smile back, and thanked them silently.
I realize my actions are not like me. For all my life I have been secluded and unmoving. I never found the delight in running around in circles, or simple tappings of hooves. I found it all to be quite foolish for a good part of my life. After finding that I had no parents to guide, and no friend to trust, I frowned upon the so called "silly actions" of others. How foolish was I. I have been given a small sample of that joy today. I still have no parents to guide me.
But at least I have friends to trust.

...if so, I loaded you and 21. Except 21 only had her mask, and Vessel only had the pelt and antlers.
Anzel: My step-sister was the first to notice you, but she didn't pay much attention. I came later, and tilted my head, for I was curious if it was you. Your pictogram was my own, though. (what is vessel's pictogram?)

Anzel: I have a feeling that
Painted Lady: Why are you disturbing me? I don't know what this emotion is. It's probably just another lie that exists only in the other world. Leave me be, or else.
Anzel: Jeesh...no need to nip at me o_o;
Me: Taint is as angry right now as I'm feeling. Typing that out was a good rage reliever. I might run around as Taint for a while.
i have a feeling if Taint

We had a good time too ^^ Again, my brain is too dead to give you a proper comment...I already sent Darcy to bed too >_< But I'm sure he will appreciate such kind words. We enjoy Vessel's company...he's certainly more full of surprises than I expected XD I once again apologize for Darcy's moodiness, but am thankful for the fact that Vessel stuck by him, when when he was convinced he'd rather be alone.
Please don't be offended by my stag steems to have a soft spot for all the 'odder' deer in the forest XD Atiq, Reetno and Vessel make an amusng trio.
Anzel: Taint is just
Taint: I am unable to tell if this world is real or not...I feel that it isn't...I feel trapped...
I wanna meet Vessel too..
