And here I am...

Recently:.
Found him another quote.
I was going to redo his css...but I still like it.
5.25.17 A lot went down. Content and agreeable now. Came into the forest with the intention of picking blueberries to make into a variety of things, found a sunspot and sunk into it instead. A lazy and happy slug.
1.27 Dropped his kids off to spend the day with Achi and Rae, wished his father a happy birthday and spent the rest of his day with his beloved.
1.20 Dragged himself out of the house after spending the last couple of days sleeping. Still sleepy though and settled himself in a comfy spot in the snow. Joined by his mother, was given a grass crown and happily added it to his things he wears. Had a nice conversation with, discussing Lyre and babysitting. Contented himself with staying in her company until he bid her good-night and returned to his family.
12.30. Briefly entered the forest to settle a good distance from his parents and their newest edition. Stood around with Notus, but offered no help at making his brother's rage better or worse. Melted into the fog the first opportunity he got and left shortly after.
12.20-1 Was dragged kicking and screaming out of his bed to deal with Alder being in a hunting accident, which he called on Notus' help as Van was nowhere to be found-and his brother's unexpected visit a few days before was still on his mind. Thankfully his son had no super serious injuries the pair of them couldn't manage. An old chunk of his personality fell back into place as well as being forever grateful to Notus and reestablishing how important his bonds were to him. Made his brother a necklace and necklace box gift. Got lost on the way back to his home by messing up the portal through his exhaustion and was collected by Yue. The god, or angel as Ni likes to refer to him as, pulled him back from the brink of a complete meltdown and healed him a little from his earlier expense of healing his son.
12.18 Existing.
11.24 stuff. My baby's gonna be three in a few days. What is this.
11.8 Plot part 2. Vanished without a trace.
10.10 Settled back into being Nilo. Recently shattered by the sudden fatal accident his daughter suffered. Responded by blocking out everyone and everything.
9.24 {RPs will function as they were prior to this event.} But, after having an uneventful...last month or so, mostly just doing Nilo things, had it all get piled on over the last few days. Eloa became a tree. Not only did she become a tree, he came to find out she absorbed his mother-in-law. :/ Well ok. The one he liked. Too. Why not the other one? That was fun to learn. So brought her a blanket, cause...he promised, and hung around a while, talking with her demon friend, and met child #2 of E's. Then ghosted away from that situation to find his dad in the forest after like...hell since he was a tiny thing, I think. Had some antler envy, got a stare down with his bro, Notus, got in a fight with Notus... that led to him limping away and hiding low for a while. Maybe feels a teeny bit bad...that he doesn't feel bad. Maybe a serious update later idk. Have a summary for now.
8.12 Chilling in game for a while. Made his way over to the poppy fields for a change of scenery and plopped down by a tree. Noted an ill individual some ways off, but didn't make a move to assist or investigate.
6.9-10.16 First of a long plot finally started.
Found himself and his family attacked at their home in the dead of night. It was something he couldn't sense, hiding behind something he could, and he found himself trying to investigate it with his guard down despite his mate's reminders to keep himself safe-which he mostly ignored. After being given the run around down the corridors of their castle, ended up at a showdown with a dark magic monster he still has no name for, though he knew what it was working for after the fact. Doing so allowed for him to be fatally wounded- a fact he didn't figure out until the next day when a substance akin to poison had taken root in his body and stole his vision. Unable to be healed, found himself mentally breaking under all the constant stress and worry, where he ultimately started to rebuild his relationship with his mother. Started to. He hugged her. They're on less-shaky-but-could-still-potentially-fall-apart- ground now. After that was left to his own thoughts for a while before requesting his father's company where he pretty much cuddled against his chest like he did as a child.

After postponing for as long as he could manage stalling, he finally listened to the instinct screaming in his head and knew he had to leave. He didn't know where, he didn't know how he was getting there- or if he could, since his body was hellbent on failing him-, just that he had to get somewhere and there was a strong chance he'd not come home. His mate's answer to that was to have his mother-in-law accompany him. More than a little convinced the spirit would kill him at some point if his body did not, but since it put Vanitas' frazzled mind at ease, he allowed her to come (more like she wouldn't take no for an answer, but shhh. Nilo's in charge.)
A few weeks of private soul searching and figuring out how to heal himself, Nilo eventually made his way back home with Van accompanying him some of the way. What happened and what he figured out he mostly has kept to himself now, though he did finally disclose it to Van as well as his father. Has come out of the whole ordeal more self-assured and grounded. He no longer feels like a bumbling child playing a big man's game, and as such understands his own limits and just what exactly he is. He is much more reserved than when he left, far less friendly even to faces he knows. The reasons for this attitude is not known, other than he feels his life should be taken a lot less lightly now that he knows what he is there for.

5.21.16
Spent time on the outskirts with his fawns, before skirting back into the forest to find his cousin, his father's friend- godfather, though Nilo doesn't give merit to the title anymore since he's...grown- and mother (and maybe a grandfather but Player didn't catch that picto) in close proximity of each other. Settled a ways away after sort of skirting between them all, and then eventually picked his way over to settle between them with flattened ears and staring off into space. Did it mostly to prove to himself that he belonged there and the forest wasn't going to decide for him where he ended up...even though he felt terribly uncomfortable and reminded of the few times in his fawnhood he was surrounded by more than one family member. Needless to say, was overwhelmed. Did gradually acknowledge his mother to the point of having a conversation with her, even called her 'mother' by the end of the exchange. Agreed to letting her in on the lives of his children.

"Nilo!" The giant's voice echo around the frozen air. A smile was pent up inside of her already pulling on her lips. She was proud about something and her old spiderweb of a shawl with its scattering of souls was wrapped around her shoulders. A sure sign she was carrying something. "Nilo!" The doe bellowed again, her mouth prickled in the cold.
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.

Nilo's ears perked at his

Nilo's ears perked at his name and it took a couple of times before the fawn convinced himself to stand. By the second call he was slowly high stepping through the snow, shivering and sneezing as he tried to not get overwhelmed by those snowflakes. They wouldn't confuse him today. He squeaked, then tried one of those big boy bleats he had been practicing, but the end of it garbled out by a cough.
"Mah!" (Oh shoot. I don't have his voice color down yet.)

Her gaze swiveled across the forest floor, ears pricked up to catch the slightest sound. The faint crunch of snow alerted her to movement. With out pause she set out in that direction hoping that this was the right way. A small shape in the distance caught her attention and the bleat confirmed that it was indeed the little one. She picked up speed scattering snowflakes behind her. Finally she reached him, immediately shrinking down to the size of a normal deer and started nuzzling trying to warm him up. The present could wait a little while, first things first after all. "Oh my goodness little one! You're freezing."
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.

"Meh." he answered her words,

"Meh." he answered her words, though didn't really...understand any that she said. Just that Grandma was there and all was good. He tried to wriggle his way under her and melt into her fur- anything to get away from the cold.

She rubbed, nuzzled and blew

She rubbed, nuzzled and blew the dust of snow of the fawn's back. The doe was relieved she found him. She carried on like this until she was sure he was warm enough to last a few minutes. When the gold tried to get under her she stopped him gently with one of her horns. "Hold on a minute dear, I've got something for you. It should help with all this snow." She stepped back a bit and pulled his present out from where it was tucked in her shawl absorbing her warmth. It was a small horse blanket type creation made out of various rabbit skins, the furs turned so that they would lie against the child's fur. She'd spent the past week or so running around chasing those rabbits and trying to find a shortcut to the sea. The creation looked a bit ragged and the stitchery wasn't the best because the doe had found it hard to sew without hands. She'd poked herself in the mouth more than a few times.

(Soooo. Nilo doesn't know how to express his joy. Just know that he's beyond happy and I think that she's sweetest thing ♥)


The little fawn tipped his head, reaching up to poke the blanket with his little runny nose. He didn't know what this thing was or why she had it, or why she was even mentioning it to him...but..it felt like something warm and furry. Like Mama. It felt like Mama or Da. Confused, he squeaked and tried to reach up to poke it again- just to make sure. How could something so small feel like his parents? Or grandma?

(<3 Lil has been planing this since before Christmas but she got sidetracked quite a lot)

The doe's smile was so big it was amazing that she hadn't dropped the blanket. She shook it at him playfully before carefully pinning him in place with her legs. She got the blanket laid out on his back and struggled a bit with fastening the little straps around Nilo's belly, neck and back legs. It took a few minutes to get everything adjusted properly and make sure that the gold was snug. Lilith stepped back to survey her handiwork. "There we go! You should be a lot warmer now, snug as a bug in a rug." The pride she felt right then far outweighed the indignation of being chased out of the house she'd swiped the needle and thread from with a broom while being the size of a dik-dik. "Sorry I couldn't get this to you at Christmas little one, I still needed to catch a few more rabbits."

Nilo had squirmed a little bit at being held down, but when the warm thing was placed over him he stopped struggling to sniff and gum on whatever edge of it he could reach. It was warm! It felt warm...like Mama or Da! He gave an excited squeak and nuzzled his Grandma's leg with his runny nose, all the while plopping down to coo happily.

omg dying, baby kisses! This is the sweetest thing I've ever been part of. Just found the perfect song for this too:

She fluffed up feeling content, feeling happy, complete. Funny, she'd never thought she would feel like this again. All those years.... back to that first child, that little girl in that town when the old giant was god. She remembered feeling like this back then but that town and that girl were long gone now. Yet, this moment with the little gold was all that mattered. Face crinkling at his 'kiss' she smiled once more. The doe would stay with him until morning came.

The old oak kept coming up

The old oak kept coming up empty and the old one didn't really know where else the little one would be. The trees looked the same and whatever scent might have been left had been washed off long ago. Eyes focused on the treetops as a last resort, she walked in a slow circle around the oak.

"Nilo? Are you there?"
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.

Nilo's head lifted, ears

Nilo's head lifted, ears flicking toward the sound of his grandmother's voice. The thought of moving made him sigh, but he slowly pulled himself to his hooves and silently ambled off in the direction of the sound. He found his grandmother a few minutes later milling about around the Old Oak. He paused a short distance from her, unwilling to come closer to the Oak's humming.
"Hi Grandma..." Nilo greeted her quietly in a tired monotonous voice, mildly wondering if she could even hear him over the humming. The young buck shifted his weight around, rising his head from where he had been staring at the ground. He tried to not focus on anything around him, focusing made his mind hurt even more. "...Did you need something...?"

The oak changes its tennor, singling a difference. She squints at it and then hears her grandson's voice. Before she turns to him, she gives the great tree a nod. Thank-you... The doe walks towards the little one, eyes pouring over him. Taking in everything from his tired voice to the little antlers sprouting from his head. Her little one is growing and it looks like life has already thrown some curveballs. "Hello Nilo." She stands next to him now, unsure if he'd allow a nuzzle. "I just wanted to see you. I'm so sorry that I haven't been around much, I should've come find you eariler..."
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.

He gave the slightest of shrugs at her apology, shifting over to where he could rest the side of his head against her leg. "It's okay. You're here right now, so that's all that matters." He gave her foreleg a gentle nuzzle before returning to resting his head against her fur.

"I love you little one.

"I love you little one. Remember that." Now what should she do? Asking would make it worse right? Everything that came from her mouth usually harmed more than helped....but she also knew that talking things out helped the issuses start dissolving. "If there's anything that you want to talk to me about, you know you can right?" She hoped she'd pharsed that halfway decent, hoped that he wouldn't take offence. She would listen to anything and everything that he had to say.

"I do..." Maybe not outright.

"I do..." Maybe not outright. He had never considered talking to anyone about any sort of issues, other than a few days previous when he had spoken with his father. The idea of going to one of his grandmother figures for help was beyond his grasp of understanding, just as friends were. But could she make it so it didn't hurt him anymore? Without building walls up in his mind and keeping himself safe from all the emotions? Could he ask her to help? Part of him wanted to, the other part of him wanted to stay quiet. "The Others...the things that hurt Da- Father... and Sister hurt me too when they get hurt. It hurts all the time in the back of my mind...Dah...Father said I could protect myself by pushing it away. Overcoming it. I'm trying but..." he trailed off, shrugging.






Very little muse but I have random brief moments of where I can write up something like this. Go figure.

She shifted slightly, side to

She shifted slightly, side to side. Thiniking over his words, thoughts wirring about, looking for possible solutuions. Patterens, anything that might help. She remembered the odd whirring feeling at the back of her skull that used to follow the fawn's father around....perphaps this was similar? A passed on trait of some sort? There was a word for this wasn't there? Maybe not exactly this but close....the ability to sense/understand someone's emotions or experiences. Empathy.
"Can you feel other emotions, sensations as well? Like love, happiness or anything else? I may have a very.......tentative idea....mmm.....about this."
Half formed information wouldn't do much to help her grandson now though. What could she do for him now? What did she do to tune the prayer noise out before the fall? She wasn't sure now.

(Oh yes, yes it is.) Nilo

(Oh yes, yes it is.)


Nilo went still, quiet as he thought about her question. Up until that point he only really noticed the negative emotions. Yet, surely he felt the positive too? He couldn't remember a time when he was so overwhelmed with joy...well wait, yes he could. It was a dim memory of some months back in his fawn hood, but he had felt an overly strong sensation of joy. What had it been for though? He couldn't remember now. Maybe he was overly excited to see his mother or father...maybe he was overjoyed at starting to understand the foods he could eat...

"I...I think so, Grandma." He murmured after a moment, "I think I feel those emotions too, but they aren't as strong as the bad ones."
Avatar by Meadow. Siggy © Shey & Squeegie

"Mmm...." That made sense.

"Mmm...." That made sense. Negative emotions tended to be blunt and act a lot more like wrecking balls than the positive ones. Those tended to be more stuble, a light breeze compared to a tornado. Hope was one of the most unoticable but also one of the strongest. She held on to that thought and tried to project the feeling outwards. Maybe he would feel it.

"I think trying to improve your ability to feel good emotions might.....help balance out the bad. Good emotions tend to...mmm.....be more, I'm not really certain how to explain it, sink below the others. Try not to forget the good memories little one, they'll be worth it in the end."

It was hard trying to figure out a way to help with problems like this. The person coping with the issue was usually the only one who really knew what was going on. She began iddly grooming the fawn, probably being gentler than nessary.

He listened silently, absently grooming her when she started to groom him, which gave him time to mull over what she was saying. Good memories...how many of those did he have, really? Other than times with his father and mother...sometimes with his sister when she wasn't hiding. But, he had his new friends too, Grandma Lilith and well...everyone else that he could still remember. They all counted for something right...wait...when did he...maybe he was getting this friend thing after all! A little shiver of excitement went through his nerves at the thought that he was actually starting to understand something that others got. Took long enough..."I won't forget good memories, Grandma." he reassured her, tipping his head back to look up at her, "Won't forget. Try to...try to remember them when my head hurts really, really bad."

"You'd be surprised what a little hope can do little one." She'd seen otherwise impossible feats completed with hope, mothers saving children, people surviving disasters and even eventually talking with one of the Gods. The doe still wanted to do something to help her grandson though....best to start simple then. "I have some ideas.....but they might sound a bit silly at first, would you like to hear them?"

"I won't underestimate it, ever, then." He decided, still grooming his grandmother's fur. Wherever this emotion fell into his understanding of the world, he didn't know, but if it was like all the other emotions he had a little understanding of...well he wouldn't treat it lightly, that he knew. "Sure, I want to hear them!" He tipped his head up to look at her, giving up his grooming for the time bringing to give the giant doe his complete attention.
