I fear my writing has become shaky and unreadable with how long it has been. It is not that I have not awoken within the Forest as of late, though I will admit I am not seen as much as when I first arrived... I cannot remember how long ago that was. How time does fly, as they say.
It is that I do not always think to note my activities. I will usually just find myself sitting in pleasant company, enjoying the peace too much to wish to interrupt it with writing.
Much like now, as I sit in the company of my dark friend. Though I wish to break the habit of not writing. I am not surprised at where I found him, sitting beside Laghodessa's grave. It appeared freshly tended to. He does take good care of it after all.
I am more surprised that I had found him at all. I cannot remember the last time we shared company with one another...
...
I had not intended to drift off, but the quietness of the air associated with snowfall can cause sleep to be quite tempting. Even now, I am finding myself nodding off for several seconds.
Please be assured it is not due to boredom, my friend.


I remain,

Bastilion

PS - the encounter with that unnamed one was quite...interesting.

Carnotaurus.

I'm a big gamer. xbox, PS3, you name it I've played it. Especially over christmas.
So... I've figured out that my problem with this game (is it a game?) is that there's no rules and everyone is playing their own version. That's why people get uptight about shit. I got uptight about sitting on the crying idol once. Aux doesn't care about other people sitting there with him because I know the game is free country to do what you want and you can't like... write your name on anything. But other characters do and get pissed. Then theres all these skull characters who are all the same to me. Yeah I get it, it's cool, but even I find it annoying. I know I'm biased because Saosin's biography was the first skull deers one I saw so they all just remind me of him. I'd love Aux to wear a skull. It makes a cool noise. But I'd feel boring because everyone else uses it.

I'm also not interested in making friends much... Aux has like... 3/4. Before I played the game to muck about. Find places to sit, play with actions. Gets boring though right?

Making a biography was fun. But when it's done it's like... what's the point in this. My character is shown in game anyway? I dunno.

With ordinary game I like... you fight, have a health bar, win or lose, you know. Here I do like fighting in forest, but when it gets past 5 minutes you're like omg this button mashing is boring as hell because there's nothing else going on. No health bar, graphics and stuff.

I don't even know why I'm typing this. Bored of the same stuff? Bleh. I don't know how people can play this thing for over a year. What do you do?

... Anyone else got xbox kinect? It's fucking A <8

Little one, why are you cying?
Can you not wait until you've grown?
You will have your sprawling antlers soon,
I promise you little fawn.
If you can tell me why you want them,
I will give them here to you.
But antlers are not just yours you see...
The seven tines belong to all of us.

The first is the center that supports all the rest.
It belonged to the fawn that stood on shaking legs.
The weak thing that could stare nothing in the face,
and whose mother stayed always, close at its side

The second is the guard that rises close to the skull.
It belonged to the weaned fawn, stronger on his legs,
chasing birds and butterflies.
The foolish little figure that disobeyed its mother
and stole the shoots from under her snout.
Easy prey for the eagle.

The third is the first inward facing tine.
It belonged to the buck, leaping with all
his vigor..
He that is challenging his elders for
hierachy and strength.
His mother comes to comfort him, when the
leader hurts his pride.

After this is the second inward tine.
It belonged to the young stag.
He whose hide shone like a raven's feathers,
and whole musk covered every tree.
His mother watches him go away
Forced by the leader, by age, by time
He will not see her alive again
Entering the new world alone

The fifth is the last inward tine.
It belonged to the hearty old stag
The scars on his body tell a long tale
He searches for company
A herd that is his own
But time pushes him back on himself
He fights but gains no glory
In ceaseless battle, he wins but one
A doe much angered and confused, he has
Impatient and unmoved, she is
But there is only warmth in company here
and the winter passes smoothly

The sixth tine sprouts outward and carrys but one more.

This is was made by Anjali! She's such a good artist!!
-Thx Anjali!

I use this account intermittently and for an assortment of reasons, so here's a little note for whoever happens to look it up when it's logged in. My main account is "Aivilo". Rire isn't changing his pictogram; this is more or less my "OOC deer". The account has Rire's name because I had planned to change Rire's picto years ago but never found the heart to do it. If you see the deer with the magpie pelt and mask and candle antlers, it's probably just me enjoying the Forest, people watching, or goofing off. You can treat the avatar as IC if you want, but be aware that I won't be taking fights or relationships or whatever seriously because... well, it's an OOC deer.

*May also wear the golden god pelt and owl mask

3.13 no longer works : (
Sometimes this account gets used when I'm playing 3.13 to cast DotD spells. Feel free to come up and ask for something if I'm wearing candles, the Kabuki mask, and the golden butterfly or Kabuki pelt.

If that set isn't on, I'm probably running 3.41 and you're out of luck this time - sorry!
Please don't post here; I probably will not see it. If you want a spell, please ask for it in-game by pawing at the ground/nodding in front of me a few times before walking to what you want.
