Yay, thanks for your help,

Yay, thanks for your help, guys. :'D <3

ahh, i'm sorry if this is out

ahh, i'm sorry if this is out of place or something! i've been wanting to get in on the rp action like a lot of people do here, and i figured all this stuff with illrose and gustiro was a good opportunity, haha.

Resting his small head across the doe's shoulders, Ming Yue let out a gentle sigh and nuzzled Illrose's neck. He could tell she was upset, but he hadn't figured out what. Whenever he hadn't been sleeping, something had occurred - a fight, an argument, or simple things that had caused his dear friend to be so distraught.

He was glad that despite her seemingly fragile state, she had still been up for running around and leaping along with him. Everybody's frustration, however, was starting to worry him. She was sleeping now, and Ming had felt the need to curl up next to her in hopes of it making her feel better. 'If only,' he thought, 'I was bigger, I could be able to protect her.'

It's not out of place at all.

It's not out of place at all. <3 Lol, indeed it is. :b

This day had truly been troublesome. Illrose wasn't even sure when it all had started. Was it perhaps when Gustiro was surrounded by claimed deer and didn't give her the attention she expected from him? Was it the fights with Moon Thief? Was it the confusions with the stranger she had to chase that made her mental state drop? All Illrose knew was she had snapped when Gustiro had left her to sit with Dinah Moon instead. Dinah - the enemy. Where had Dinah been when Gustiro was severely injured, and needed protection? Had Dinah been there to protect the wounded stag from attacks. No, she hadn't. It was Illrose. She had guarded Gustiro for hours, for days, and this was how he paid her back. By betraying her. Illrose hadn't been able to hold the rage back anymore, so she had chased minis and fought the demon stag Euyru, until she almost collapsed down by the pond. When she woke up, Illrose could feel the warmth from someone besides her. She blinked, and looked at the fawn, a tired smile appearing on her face.
"Hello dear." She greeted Ming Yue, shifting her position to sit more comfortable.

yay. <3 "Hello," he replied,

yay. <3

"Hello," he replied, lifting up his head and looking up at the doe. "Are you feeling okay?" he asked, flicking his ears back to shoo off a fly. She didn't look fine, but it was easier to ask about the state of her health than ask why she felt that way. Maybe later, he figured, standing up for a brief second to stretch. He had been laying next to Illrose since she had collasped. In fact, he had followed her, unknowing of what she had dealt with before ending up by the pond's edge.

Ming Yue figured that the spot, at least, was peaceful; calming. "You've been asleep for a while," he concluded outloud, glancing briefly at the pond.

Illrose chuckled lightly. "I

Illrose chuckled lightly.
"I am now, with you here." She replied in a playful tone, giving the fawn a gentle nudge on the neck. No, she was not okay. She was far from okay, but reasons - that were so many and confusing - were to difficult to explain, especially for a fawn. Illrose's eyes drifted toward the pond, where the dragonflies were darting back and forth on almost invincible wings. She then nodded her head.
"Yes, I'm tired, it was good to have a bit of sleep." She sighed for a moment, and shook her antlers before she looked down at Ming.
"What have you been up to today, those times I didn't see you around? Got any fawn-friends to play with?" There had been a lot of fawns in the forest lately, or at least Illrose thought so. Although it could have been her that just hadn't really noticed them until now.


I have to go to bed now, I'll reply more tomorrow. :')

(Just popping by to say hi and curse you for luring me in with the title of my favourite Lordi-song! >w<)

Uh, wow. Tried to fix it, does it still look like that to you? It all looks good here, so I had no idea. x)

"Yes, it has. Where have you been hiding?"

Mwahaha, I did it on purpose. >D Well, it's one of my favorite Lordi-songs as well. <3
And hi. :'D

Naah, no different. It's all to do with the size of the main blog content, and because my screen is much smaller, everything else is bigger than the blogs size.
Ah! Dw too much about it, it's still readable. ^^'

"Well, there was this little incident with a dream-eating soul-stealer... but fret not, I'm as fine as ever. How have you been, my flower?~"

(funny how such a cool song comes out of such an amusingly bad movie XD And you, my friend, have good taste TwT)

Vcg;
Hm. :/ I don't dare to change anything more now, I'm not that good with CSS, and I don't want to mess anything up further. Hopefully at least someone see it the way I do. xD
But thanks for showing me, though. :')

Chicken;

"She frowned for a moment.
"Sounds interesting. Tell me about it? Me? Well, I've been fine, I guess." Being in the state she was in now, with low physical health and even lower mental health, she didn't really wanna talk about how she had been.


True. xD And I had expected more from Mr. Lordi when he finally decided to make his appearance in the movie, lol. :') Thank you. :'D
Chickenwhite's picture

Though the buck, having by

Though the buck, having by now grown into a stag, much more impressive than the scrawny fawn, frowned at this. He was no fool, he could see something was wring.
"You guess?..." He asked, rubbing a soft cheek against hers, longing to see the face beneath the mask again...

Yeah, like... some words XD But it's really quite adorable, he says himself that he's shy and not an actor XD
Snowsauria's picture

Illrose immediately pulled

Illrose immediately pulled back with a fierce growl at the feeling of his cheek against hers. Recently being betrayed by two of those she held closest, Illrose didn't want anyone else near enough for it to happen again.
"I don't want to talk about it." She snapped, with her ears pinned to her neck. But it didn't take long before one of the ears perked again.
"I much more want you to tell me about that dream-eating incident of yours."


He's shy? I never would have thought that. xD Oh well, the movie did had some interesting moments, so it wasn't a total waste. :')

A frown creasing Raleigh's

A frown creasing Raleigh's pure, white brow showed the confusion and what could only be described as hurt he felt as she pulled away.
(What has happened to you?... My sweet, strong Illrose...) His thoughts were dark and gloomy and almost immediately seeking revenge for whatever had happened to "his" doe.
Still, sensing her dislike for the subject, a small smile appeared on his face as he sighed at her question.
(Some other time, my dear...)
"Oh, It was quite trivial, really... A newcomer but ancient demon seems to have become rather smitten with me... Needless to say, in the not-so-benevolent way..." He chuckled, picking up a mushroom to offer his lady. Charming as ever...

I agree, I especially like the whole plot-twist with the time pocket, though I usually really hate things like that XD Awa was great >w<
Snowsauria's picture

Soon, when she was sure he

Soon, when she was sure he wouldn't attempt to touch her again, Illrose raised her other ear as well, listening to his words. A faint, empty smile appeared on her lips.
"Sounds like a nice fellow." She replied, with a tone that made it difficult to say if she was ironic or not. Illrose simply ignored the mushroom he offered her, not at all hungry, if that was his reason for giving it to her.


It's a while since I've seen the movie, so I don't remember everything, but yes, Awa was cool. :b
Chickenwhite's picture

Her evasive behaviour did not

Her evasive behaviour did not in the least bit amuse Raleigh. Calm and collected normally, now he let a frown show, worried and annoyed.
"Not entirely, she has become more or less of a... stalker, so to say..." He said, wanting to move closer, but respectfully kept his distance...
"But my dear... You seem anxious..." He said, tilting his head, a fresh but small scar at the corner of his eye.

She was definitely my favourite in the film >w<
Snowsauria's picture

Illrose tilted her head

Illrose tilted her head slightly.
"What is her name?" She asked. She doubted she had ran into this demon herself, but one could never know. Perhaps she had. Illrose then shook her head.
"No, I'm fine. Don't you worry about me." Or at least, she would be fine, once she managed to shut down these feelings. The feeling of anger and sadness. Illrose looked at Raleigh, noticing the scar at the corner of his eye.
"If she becomes too much of an annoyance, I'll happily fight her for you." She said, feeling she was in need for a fight right now.


:'D
Chickenwhite's picture

But Raleigh just chuckled,

But Raleigh just chuckled, looking smug.
"So kind of you, fair lady, but I can take care of her myself... Haunted is my own problem." He said, as calm and collected as ever. Though, still looking worried, he motioned to want to move closer, testing to see if it was okay with his lady friend.
"But, my love, something has happened to you... Will you tell me?" He asked, for once in his life looking genuinely concerned...
Illrose was special to him... he would not allow any harm to befall her unpunished...
Snowsauria's picture

Haunted. So that was the

Haunted. So that was the doe's name. Illrose was pretty sure she had never met her before, not even heard of her. She simply nodded at Raleigh's answer.
"As you wish." Illrose had plenty of other deer she could fight, deer that already disliked her, probably with good reasons. A growling sound could be heard in her throat by Raleigh's motioning, but this time she didn't pull back as she had did last time. She simply didn't have the energy to keep him away.
"No, I won't. It's too embarrassing. What happened is my own fault, because I for once listened to my feelings, and ignored what my friends told me. They were right, of course, and now I'm paying the price." She simply stated, again in this emotionless tone. How her relationship with Gustiro would be after this was still unsure, but even more, her relationship to Kheiron, whom she at the moment disliked almost as much as her enemy, Dinah Moon.
Chickenwhite's picture

Still, this just made Raleigh

Still, this just made Raleigh look even more worried.
"My sweet, poor Illrose... what have you been getting yourself into in my absence?..." He asked, keeping his distance at the growl, but still obviously wanting to comfort her.
"You should know... feelings are treacherous things... best left ignored." He smiled with a much too sweet expression.
He always had been a little off, but it appeared to only have gotten worse...
Snowsauria's picture

She gritted her teeth

She gritted her teeth furiously.
"Don't feel sorry for me! I'll be fine. Soon." She growled. She didn't want anyone's sympathy, she just wanted them to leave her alone with her rage until things got better. She then looked at Raleigh.
"I do know, that's why I feel so stupid right now." She replied. She had at least learned a lesson from all this. Never get feelings for anyone, never trust anyone. She nodded slowly.
"From now on I will ignore my feelings, just as I should have done in the first place."
Chickenwhite's picture

Making a smile so calm, it

Making a smile so calm, it was positively malicious appear on Raleigh's lips.
"You sound like you need to react on something." He said, walking to her side, though still keeping fair distance. Flirtatious and selfish as he might be, at least he held respect for Illrose. And possibly none others.
Snowsauria's picture

A chuckle escaped her lips, a

A chuckle escaped her lips, a chuckle completely stripped of emotions.
"Yes, I guess I do." She replied, looking over at Raleigh. How different he looked now, from the first time she had met him, when he was only a fawn. They had both been back then.
"You have any suggestions, perhaps?" She then asked. For a moment she kept the same distance as Raleigh, before she decided to move a bit closer. As long as she was the one to do the approaching, she didn't mind being closer to Raleigh right now.
Chickenwhite's picture

This movement making Raleigh

This movement making Raleigh smile and give her a soft look, before looking thoughtful for a moment, a smirk starting to curl his lips.
"Well... I know a few deer who'd... Or we could go attack a tree. Both work, except the tree, sadly, doesn't whimper." He said with a small sigh, looking genuinely disappointed.
He'd truly changed... He no longer tried to hide his ambivalent nature towards the lives of other creatures... He found himself completely shedding his mask in the company of the masculine doe.
Snowsauria's picture

Illrose snorted for a

Illrose snorted for a moment.
"Trees are no fun." She had attacked one yesterday, to blow off some steam. And when Illrose attacked a tree, she attacked the Old Oak itself, because the sound coming from the tree was simply annoying.
"Which deer did you have in mind?" She asked, now stretching her neck, so that her skull mask briefly rubbed against Raleigh's white fur. Her mood was getting better already, probably because she had gotten some rest now.
Chickenwhite's picture

A positively malicious smile

A positively malicious smile spread across Raleigh's pale face.
"A pathetic, little individual who won't fight back... How about it?" He asked, gratefully accepting her touch and wanting to return it, but doing so with the utmost care. He didn't want to scare his little doe away, after all...

haha, it was ok. i had to go

haha, it was ok. i had to go to bed anyway, too.

The fawn let out a small laugh when his neck was bumped, nudging Illrose back. "I'm happy that you're better," he said, clearly oblivious to the fact that she was truly not okay. But what would a young fawn know about detecting small, white lies? "I heard if you sleep a lot, you grow. Maybe," Ming Yue suggested, "you'll grow even bigger! You'd be the biggest deer in the forest." He always came up with silly ideas like most fawns do.

"Oh...," he sighed, looking down in an attempt to concentrate. "Well, I sat with Gustiro. And I ran around a lot trying to find everybody. And I played chase. I met a few deer, and I tried to play with them, but I don't think they were up for it. I haven't met a lot of fawns," he recalled. There had been tons of fawns in the forest, but Ming being Ming found that a lot of them ran off when he tried to play spar. He thought a lot of them to be weird. "What did you do?" he asked curiously.
Snowsauria's picture

Chicken; Illrose perked her

Chicken;
Illrose perked her ears.
"A little invidual? Aren't two against one pretty unfair, then?" She didn't want to ruin the fun, but she had two rules she always tried to follow. Never harm fawns, and never fight dirty. The only time she had broken that rule was when she witnessed Jergens killing Jack, which has resulted in her attacking the badly injured Jergens, killing him as a revenge. Although, both Jergens and Jack were back now, so the forest's magic sure was unpredictable. She only smiled at how carefully he returned the gesture, still a hint of anger in her eyes, but the talk with Raleigh had helped her getting in a better mood.


Parler;
:')


She had to laugh at the fawn's idea.
"The biggest deer in the forest. That would be cool, eh?" Her eyes blinked mysteriously as she leaned closer to Ming, almost whispering when she spoke again.
"But you know what? I have actually seen the biggest deer in the forest, and I'm pretty sure no one will ever be as huge as him! That would at least have to be one of the Gods." She smiled, hoping that this would catch the fawn's attention. And she wasn't even joking, she had actually seen the largest deer that would ever step into this forest. Illrose's ears perked as she listened to Ming talking. She felt sorry for him since he hadn't met much other fawns.
"Hmm, I'm sure you will find some friends one day." She said, before she smiled.
"Oh, I didn't do much. Was a bit tired, so I mostly just sat around." She said with a chuckle.
Chickenwhite's picture

But Raleigh merely

But Raleigh merely laughed.
"Oh, fret not, my pretty, he's nowhere near a fawn, he's probably older than the both of us. He'd be resting near the old oak at this time of day~..." The white stag mused innocently, as if only talking about a slightly peculiar weather-phenomenon and not mutilation-in-the-making.
Snowsauria's picture

She was still unsure, but at

She was still unsure, but at the same time, her body was itching for a fight, to get out some energy. She nodded her head.
"Let's go and see if he is there. But I have not decided anything yet, I want to see what kind of opponent he is first." She stated firmly. Also, two against one was still unfair, wasn't it, no matter who their victim was.
Chickenwhite's picture

Still, Raleigh grinned,

Still, Raleigh grinned, pleased and looking excited about this entire thing.
"Oh, don't worry... once you see him, you'll undoubtedly want to hit him..." He said, malicious intend seething off of his words...
And soon enough, they approached a sleeping figure between two, young trees near the old oak, a young buck with the magpie pelt, tiny, black wings instead of antlers and a mask to silence his every word.
Raleigh's smirk increased.

"The biggest deer in the

"The biggest deer in the forest?" he gasped, looking up at Illrose and almost hitting her with his stubby, premature antlers. He muttered an apology, more intent on listening to her talk. "One of the Gods?" he repeated. "What was he like? Was he nice? Gods should always be nice," Ming Yue stated, now curious about what Illrose had said. She had probably just dug herself a small, tiny hole of a grave mentioning something of that stature to the fawn.

Ming smiled. "I already have friends, Illrose. You, and Gustiro, and Deion!" he said. "Oh, me too. When I wasn't running around. How long have you been in the forest?" he asked, absentmindedly changing the subject.


i'm cleaning up my room, so i probably won't reply quickly, haha. and ming might be unresponsive in the forest.
Snowsauria's picture

Chicken; Illrose followed

Chicken;
Illrose followed Raleigh, not sure what to expect of the stag they was about to see. Most of all she imagined it to be a large brute who needed two opponents to be defeated. But the deer Raleigh lead her to was nothing like that. She frowned, confused.
"But.." She began, while she looked at the deer. He looked familiar. She had seen him long time ago, when she still was a fawn, and she couldn't understand why Raleigh would have a reason to fight him. Illrose looked at the white stag with her piercing eyes, waiting for an explanation.


Parler;
Illrose shook her head when Ming misunderstood her words.
"No, he was not one of the Gods...or, perhaps he was, but he was not one of the Twin Gods. What I tried to say, was that only the Gods could be as large as this deer. So perhaps he is a third God, after all." She chuckled to end her rambling, but at the same time pleased with getting Ming's attention.
"Hm, what he was like? He was a walking corpse, with an icy breath and a mighty roar that sends shivers down the spine on fawns like you. Not to mention he is always followed by thick fog that surrounds him. His name is Velocity, and he will come back when it is Halloween. You know what Halloween is, right?" Illrose hadn't even noticed how eager she became while talking about the great zombie deer that had appeared in the forest last Halloween. She looked forward to run with him when he came back this year. She then smiled at Ming.
"Yes, of course, you do have us. And that Deion, I think I've seen him once. I'm sorry if I was rather harsh with him, but he seemed so aggressive, I was afraid he would hurt you. And I have been in the forest for a while, ever since I was a fawn like you."
Chickenwhite's picture

But Raleigh just smirked back

But Raleigh just smirked back at her.
"This is my personal punchbag. You see, he has a unique skin, which stops almost all kinds of damage to come to him. Of course, two against one would not be fair... so I will allow you to have the fun." He said with a calm smile as the sleeping deer stirred slightly, strangely immature voice cracking just a little as he yawned and stretched.

awh, what you wrote about

awh, what you wrote about Kheiron in the relationships-link made me smile :'D
Snowsauria's picture

Chicken; It was tempting,

Chicken;
It was tempting, but...Illrose still hesitated. It seemed so wrong to fight this stag who now slept so peacefully, seemingly unaware of their presence. And, she remembered him from her fawnhood, he had been nice to her then, she had no reason to fight him.
"Is he even able to fight back?" She asked Raleigh. If not, that would make it even less fun.


Mini;
Well, it is true, lol. <3

But Raleigh just

But Raleigh just chuckled.
"He is, not to worry..." He said, tail flicking in excitement as he approached the buck, now slowly waking up.
He looked bigger than Raleigh, and like he had more muscle-mass... but that might have something to do with his thick, soft fur which could probably loose a badger in it.
(short text is short T__T;;)
Snowsauria's picture

Illrose's white eyes narrowed

Illrose's white eyes narrowed as she watched the stag who now seemed to be waking up. She then shook her head, and looked at Raleigh.
"No, I won't fight him." She stated in a firm voice. It didn't seem right, this stag didn't seem to be the deer that could provoke her into attacking him, it didn't look like he could lure all her rage to the surface. He wasn't the right deer, simple as that.
Chickenwhite's picture

At this, Raleigh almost

At this, Raleigh almost looked like a child who'd been denied candy, though his smile never faltered.
"But my sweet... He can survive anything and you'll be sure he won't run and tell either!..." He tried, almost desperate to provoke her wrath enough for her to attack none other than his own brother... But how was she to know this?
Dampir's picture

Lol I didn't know that

Lol I didn't know that Illrose is your xD Anyway, I write cause my Levis(this fawn which still follow you hehe) met you and very liked you.
Btw, how I see we have one the same enemy... Dinah. She is enemy for my Dampir.
And nice bio (:
Snowsauria's picture

Chicken; Illrose still

Chicken;
Illrose still hesitated. But she then snorted, and stomped a hoof in the ground before she looked from Raleigh to the other stag.
"Alright, let's see what he's got then." She said, before she walked over to the other stag. She lowered her head, and bumped her antlers into his body.
"Hey, are you awake yet?" She asked mockingly, a grin appearing on her lips. Hopefully he would be more interesting to fight than he seemed right now.


Dampir;
Lol, she is. xD Oh, so that is the name of the fawn, he is really sweet. <3
xD
Thank you. n__n

Making the stag give a huff

Making the stag give a huff of surprise as he rolled onto his side and look up with huge blue eyes framed by scars, confused and disorientated... But there was no pain... Maybe Raleigh had been right... Raleigh, who was standing in the back, smirking grimly.
The stag on the ground blinked.
"I... g-guess?..." He said, getting up on tired legs, slightly clumsy, but obviously supporting a fair amount of muscle.

(I will wait until tomorrow to see if Serendipity posts. If not I will post Gustiro’s response to the earlier posts just to finish it off. : ) )
Snowsauria's picture

Chicken; She tilted her head,

Chicken;
She tilted her head, immediately more curious about this stag. Of course, she remembered him from her fawnhood, but he probably didn't remember her, unless he remembered her god-given name.
"Good, get up then." She said, stomping her hoof to make him get on his feet faster.
"My friend here says you don't feel pain. I wanna see if that is true." She nodded in Raleigh's direction as she said this, before she all of a sudden leaped forward with her antlers down, crashing into the stag.


Gustiro;
Sounds like a good idea. n___n
