Imagine there's no heaven [questing/open] - Jaydan - 08-19-2012
RE: Imagine there's no heaven [questing/open] - Random Event - 08-19-2012 A russet vixen stalked a hare, moving with such care and deliberation that it was a shame for her expert stalk to be disturbed by a sudden and enormous cascading wave of sound. The hare fled at the first out-of-place crackle, leaving the vixen to duck and freeze while the forest was disturbed by cracks, crashes, and a muffled thud. And then... silence. The deep silence of a forest of animals waiting to see what would happen next, followed by a different sort of silence once they decided nothing else dramatic would happen, and went on with their day to day. All but the vixen, who deciding to investigate what had disturbed her hunt. Cautiously she padded toward where she thought that final thud had come from, growing in confidence until she almost literately stumbled upon a prone equid. He was so coated in the muck of his crash landing that she'd taken him for a fallen tree or a mossy pile of rocks until he stirred. With a startled yip she scrambled back into the cover of a nearby bush, from which she watched him. Watched him as his body shuddered with silent sorrow, the feathers of his wings rustling with every spasm. Watched him as his strangely colored face was marked with dark tear-streaks. Her fear faded, and curiosity replaced it. Slowly she crept from her hiding place, crossing the space between him and the bush, and sniffed inquisitively at his face. A quiet chittering noise rose from her then, inquiring and friendly. RE: Imagine there's no heaven [questing/open] - Query - 08-20-2012 Today Query decided that she'd take a stroll after all the days were starting to shorten again, and the heat was slowly dissipating as the season of orangemoon was starting to set in. She figured that a nice stroll through the forest would be nice and relaxing. On her stroll she stumbled across this horse of which the likes she had never seen before. That is if you could call it a horse. This guy had some really big and colourful wings, and his tail and horn were also quite a sight to see. All of the colours of course made Query think back to the days on the farm. How many times had she seen those pests of a bird, too many to count. She watched as the vixen tried to decide whether he was a threat or not and ultimately deciding not as she went up and sniffed him. She was almost afraid to approach as it was such a sight to see, and she didn't want to scare the vixen away. Finally she decided that she would try to see just what was wrong with him. She walked up closer and nuzzled him a little. "Hi there. Are you doin' alright? I couldn't help but notice your deep sighs and cryin'. Just what's the matter?"

RE: Imagine there's no heaven [questing/open] - Random Event - 09-05-2012 Barely had her dark nose drawn close to the face of the fallen one then his eyes snapped open. There was a brief moment as their eyes met, and then he lurched in surprise, crying out. With a flurry of russet fur the vixen spun and dove back into the safety of the underbrush, heedless of the approach on another hooved one. She only paused when she was certain that she was hidden, and then turned back to regard the fallen jay-horse in bafflement. Only then did she notice the presence of another, a pale hooved creature with a strange black marking across her face. The vixen tensed, crouching down warily. Some of these ones had no tolerance for the hunters of any size. Who was to say these two were not such? Would explain the fallen one's reaction to her friendly approach. The pale one's behavior the vixen could not vouch for, for she hadn't seen the pale one approach. Nor scented her, or heard her in the chaos of the moment passed. And yet... the fallen one lay there, motionless again. Was he truly fallen? The question of that kept her from retreating further. So she settled down to watch and wait from the safety of the underbrush. ((Go ahead and post back and forth for a bit, the vixen shall reappear when I deem the situation fit.)) RE: Imagine there's no heaven [questing/open] - Query - 09-06-2012 Query watched as the fox sniffed and the Jaybird-Horse flailed a bit and the poor vixen took off to the underbrush, not seeming to even notice her own approach. This at least made Query feel a little less guilty, knowing that it wasn't her that scared away the poor vixen. The bird like horse started to speak up, but it was like he was struggling to find the words. When he finally spoke, he called her...a fox? Query was confused at how he could think that she was a fox. But then just chuckled and shrugged it off. "No, I'm sorry there, sweetheart, but the fox is the one that ran away. I'm a horse...kinda like yourself, but not nearly as flashily coloured and built. Though, you should prolly get up there. It must be uncomfortable layin' on the ground and flalin' around like that."

RE: Imagine there's no heaven [questing/open] - Query - 09-11-2012 Query just stared as the jay-bird horse just continued to lay there in his depressed state. He also seemed completely confused, like nothing she had said had made sense to him. Once again Query tried nudging the jay to stand up. "You'll get nowhere layin' on the ground like that y'know." Is nice. "Are you askin' if I'm nice, or are you tellin' me I'm nice. Well...I like to think that I'm nice...and I guess if you're tellin' me, then thanks." Poor Query was now getting confused herself. Did he not know how to talk properly...Query just tried to go with it. She didn't want to be rude to the poor guy and just abandon him here. Fox guardian He still thought she was the fox. Oh well, it didn't bother her too much, in fact she found it a little amusing and had to smirk a bit at that, but then Dying, how work? came up and confused her once more. Was he askin' her how dying worked? Why would one want to know that? "I don't know exactly how dying works myself. But I imagine it's not a very pleasant experience. Why would one want to die, when there's so many things out there to discover." RE: Imagine there's no heaven [questing/open] - Jaydan - 09-14-2012
RE: Imagine there's no heaven [questing/open] - Query - 09-15-2012 Query had finally convinced this 'little' jay-bird-horse to get up, his feathers and fur caked with blood and the dirt from the ground that he had seemed so keen to just continue to lay on. He was slow to rise, but finally did it. Then after he stretched out a bit his eyes cleared up into a blue rather than a dull bluish grey that they had been. Query had to put on a smile that the jay-bird horse at least managed to get his legs under him. Living un-un...leasant Was he trying to tell her that he found living to be unpleasant? None left. Again Query was a bit confused by what exactly he meant, but she knew he was seriously depressed about something. But Query was determined not to give up on the poor guy. "What makes living so....unpleasant as you say? And what do you mean by none left?" Query knew that she really had her work cut out for her today.

RE: Imagine there's no heaven [questing/open] - Query - 09-21-2012 Query felt a little guilty that she still didn't understand the poor little jay-bird horse. The poor thing just frowned at her. She died? Query was gonna ask just who she was. But before she had the chance to ask him anymore questions the jay-bird horse took off. She felt sorry for the guy because as he took off the he was crying. It also left her wondering if she'd ever see him again.
