Well it was dark at least, surprisingly so when I instanciated. I thought I even saw a bat, although I may have been imagining that. But it was certainly dark, and looked a bit nippy, and I wondered if I'd see any others awake at all on such a night.



No sooner had I started to wander the darkened forestthough than there was the sound of hooves and I was joined by Eris and Valaire.



Meeting-frolicking ensued, followed by a greetings-nuzzle. It's always so nice bumping into other deer in the forest, everyone's so pleased to see one another and joyous in greeting. If only humans were as welcoming and pleased to see one another. Mind you it's probably for the best that they aren't, imagine how chaotic it'd be in Basingstoke town centre if everyone was frolicking and nuzzling all the time. And glowing.



It is rather lovely though. Very shortly we were joined by Widmung and there was more leaping, nuzzling and glowing.



Followed by a not inconsiderable amount of circle-dancing. The previously chilly-seeming night was warmed by dancing, good company and all manner of good-natured frivolity.



Including the ever-popular interpenetrating with a tree, with which we all joined in with alacrity. It made me laugh to see a row of deer butts all sticking out of the tree with their little tails wiggling. I think that little tail wiggle is one of my favourite aspects of the deer animation.



Even amongst all this amiable silliness Valaire found a moment to look properly imposing with that long mask and those scary blood red antlers.



More dancing followed, and of course a bit more frolicking.

While I try to get the CSS sorted for the lady's old profile, I figured I'd post her here to get out back out there! I would love to rp if anyone has threads or... I'm not sure how it really works on here anymore tbh. I'm just eager to write and make some connections for her!

Beau (for whom the bell tolls)
aka Beauregarde

Gender: male
Species: unicorn
Age: foal
Size: small for a foal; #14 on the size chart

A lone unicorn colt, recently reincarnated into the Forest. He's easily camouflaged beneath the shade of the trees, courtesy of his shadowy pelt. He is unusually small and of indeterminable age beyond "young". His horn is still just a diamond-shaped button in the center of his forehead.

He is cursed to share a thousand lifetimes with Knife Princess. This is just one of them.

He seems both aware of his predicament and displeased by it. Though he has no memory of his past lives, he knows this to be the next in his nigh-endless chain of subsequent reincarnations. Beyond this unusual wisdom, he is a regular foal — quiet, without the words yet to explain his situation, shy around his agemates, and sometimes uncanny.

He isn't the most social, but he seems to have integrated into the Forest quickly in the short time he's been here. He has no parents to speak of, but one might not notice for how often he is accompanied by others. On the off chance he's alone, he is usually found playing near the bridge. He smells like wood bark and pond muck.

He has no humanshape associated with his time in the forest yet, but in past lives (though he does not know it), he has been a gentle but rather tormented man. In one he is a vampire, in another a stablehand, and in yet another he is a man who lost his other half.

*wakes up* uuh. What the... where am I?



oh man these rocks are *cold* And hard. How did I...

oh yeah I remember now... bits at least... it was raining confetti... deer were dancing and I was bumbling about trying to climb up here and I almost fell down and then... I don't remember...

man... must have been something in that candle smoke... I gotta get myself home.

*stumbles slowly across the forest, wondering if it'd've been better to call a taxi*

I'll try to remember to pretty it up with some CSS later.

Wow. I almost couldn't believe it when I guessed my password right. But here I am! I doubt anyone here now remembers me, but I was an avid uses here a decade ago. Not sure if I'll stick around for a long time, but if you see me in game or happen to recall me, let me know! I've kept up with rping on other platforms, and maybe I'll even pick up my old character for some writing!
