This is dedicated to a deer, and a person, who I never got to meet. She was known as Run, beloved by everyone in the forest, a former mate to Sluggs...

Who was killed in a car crash, her sister said...

I hope not to disappoint a single soul who remembers Run, and I hope I do not tarnish her in any way...I tried my very, very best to write a poem of her that I felt she deserved.

And Ephra...would you allow me to add your beautiful picture of the memorial to this poem?

Here is the poem...I hope you find it fitting...

--- may you Run forever ---

[i]Running on forever in eternity
A kiss from the heavens
A raindrop from the cirrus
Whence the angels, blessèd, hover

And where she fell, the deer rose
To stare upon the rose that had bloomed
A doe, sweethearted, soon to become
The friend of everyone and everyone to be

Soaring over the rugged landscapes of the forest
Beside her friends, they ran
A symphony of hooves, of wingbeats,
Running beside an angel, they had wings

And so one day
She met a stag masked behind a skull
And her heart fluttered, she blushed
As pink as dawnlit nights and February's precious arrow

And so the stag, the King of Glitches
Sat beside his Queen,
An angel fallen down to Earth
The sweetest doe of all

A cry
Pierced the sky
A thousand trumpets blew, synchronized
To scream to the heavens, "Why?..."

For the fallen angel
Cursèd by a sudden fate
The fae who had blessèd all who had come to know her
Was called back to cirrus in the sky

And the sky of the forest grew dark,
And the hearts of the many deer fell to ground with broken wings
And tears streamed down the faces of the ones who truly loved her
And lowly did their heads hang down, in mourning of the sweet

And sent down from the heavens
Was a star of silvern brightness
Circling o'er a flora
In the depths of forest's midnight

And in the air, the stars flew 'round
And sang a somber sound along

i just finished watching Watership Down and it was FREAKING GREAT. so i formulated a little story about the beginning of the Endless Forest. no, i dont believe in it, so dont label it as a crazy religion. i just felt like writing it. its kinda stupid and you probably wont like it XD HERE WE GO

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Children of the Endless Forest, lend me your ear, and I shall tell you of a story that has been long forgotten. It is true that the origins of the world are yet unknown, but there is one story that has tested the intellect of many a mind.

In the beginning, there was a great god.

This god created the universe: the planets, the stars, the moons. And the god designed each planet to his liking. One planet he decided to put life on. He created trees, plants, waters, the sky. He created every form of life, from the simple animals to Man. But he also created five special creatures, giving each of them his face.

One was the Dog, who had a longer face and tail. Another, the Cat, with large fangs and sharp claws. The Bird, with great beating wings and beautiful feathers. The Rabbit, with powerful legs and great cunning. And the Deer, with great and mighty antlers. These five creatures were given their own territory and intelligence. They soon multiplied, and filled the earth, alongside the other creatures of the land.

Poetry Em Motion is a poetic history of The Endless Forest that I'm writing :3 It might help some people to learn about the older players, the old conflicts, etc.

I. The (imagined) Creation of the Forest
II. Walter
III. Twenty-One
IV. Sluggs
V. Run

If you find any errors in any of the poems, please notify me.

Also, I'm always looking for stories to turn into poems!!!

I hope I got his mates right...meep...

This is to the tune of 'A Bicycle Built For Two'...

on a Sluggsycle built for two

Glitch stag, glitch stag,
Switching a file or two
We'll go crazy
Running all over you
Over and under water
A wingless, flying wonder
You run and sleep
You smile and creep
In this glitch world
Designed by you

Sluggsy, Sluggsy,
Tell me it isn't so
That you've run 'way
Leaving but an echo
Your fun and your games, we cherish
We hate to see you perish
We won't forget
That spooky set
That you've cast upon one and all

"Forest Shamans?", Quad questioned Scorn.

"Yes, the Forest Shamans are some of the most revered deer known!", Scorn exclaimed. "Why is that?", Mazey asked. Scorn nodded, "Well, several reasons actually. Each Shaman has their own gift from the Twin Gods, some kind of power or ability, and all have used them for peace and harmony. Some could control nature, like the weather and the elements. Others could read minds, interpret dreams, and so on. Brooke...", Scorn paused here, "...was an extrordinary healer."

"I've heard of her!", Dim added, "She brought the trees back to life after a fire once!" Scorn nodded, "Yes that is true. She also could bring animals back to perfect health right before they died. She was really amazing." He looked over to Quad, "It's also been said that the Shamans brought luck to anyone near them." Mazey jokingly came close to Quad, smiling and looking up to him. The others chuckled a little.

Auge decided to speak here, "The Shamans were gifted, but at the same time they had to be responsible with their powers. They were anything but normal deer." She looked over to Quad, "Who knows what kind of power you'd have Quad, if you were one of the Shamans!"

Quad sighed and shook his head, walking off in the direction they were going. The other four tilted their heads. "What's up with him?", Scorn questioned. They ran after him, Auge going past and stopping him. "What's the matter? You're going to be some kind of hero, Quad!", she questioned him. "I...", Quad started, but he shook his head and tried to get past her. "Quad! Tell us!", Scorn snapped at him.

Who was Sluggs' most recent mate?

I need to know so that I can complete my poem ;-; I think I know, but I don't want to be wrong...

I decided to try one more fawn, since I missed out on Beetle's fawnhood mostly. Which leads us to Ell.

Her Pictogram


Ell's gender, while I'm leading towards female, is still up in the air: when I see how Ell interacts and thinks, and who Ell interacts with, I'll make a firmer decision. Ell might remain gender neutral...
Ell's of no set relation to Seed, but would probably like some relations of some sort.

Ell's first jaunt through the forest went well. Ell feels stubborn and spunky. ^^

Okay this is just a stupid thing I'm working on, but I keep finding songs that would fit if there was a soundtrack to Divine Intervention. Below is a tenative list of songs that would be on the soundtrack, and songs will be added/removed later. Each song title will take you to a Youtube link that plays the song.

You'll notice that most of the songs are either mysterious or sad. I haven't really found any fast-tempo songs that really fit aside from the Good Charlotte one and the Papa Roach one.

Soundtracks/albums generally have 12-15 songs on them, and I want to try to find songs from various genres that would fit what's going on in the story, but we'll see what happens.

Live - The River
Live - Selling the Drama (Quad's Themesong)
Damn Yankees - High Enough
3 Doors Down - Be Somebody
Shinedown - Second Chance (Story Themesong)
Collective Soul - Run
Papa Roach - Time is Running Out
3 Doors Down - By My Side
Hoobastank - Without A Fight (Please ignore the Naruto crap )
3 Doors Down - Not My Time
Lynard Skynard - Simple Man
Journey - All The Way
Queen - Show Must Go On
Good Charlotte - Broken Hearts Parade
Rob Thomas - Ever The Same

Since I can't locate the original topic on the forum (and believe me, I've tried), I'm going to start a new one.

As with the original warning, all sleeping deer are game in this game.







But it's just not enough to sit on them these days. So I hopped into v3.1 for a bit of DotD fun.







Searching for my next victim.


Oooo! A two for one deal.


I was followed back to the tree where I finished the set.


But my client fell asleep on me. Again, a two for one deal.


*Ghost strikes in Predator mode*



*poof*

I want to test out some coats with that mask, and it would be very helpful if I had the mask to see if it looks good and Matches. So if anyone has the Deer Skull Mask and wouldn't mind giving me a copy of the Spell Data THANK YOU!!!
