Too much backstory. :X] RE: I follow rivers - Elsa - 03-28-2015 Elsa My head's underwater, but i'm breathing fine. The odd state of things had led her back to the Threshold once again. Many a person disappearing here and there had unsettled her. Had they just gone off to do other business? Either way, she wasn't going to stop her daily hobby of perusing through the Threshold. That was the one place that liked to stay stable, yet different at the same time. The tall towering pines always welcomed her, no matter what the season. From each Tallsun to the next, they would stand unwavering and strong. A silent friend, and encouraging shoulder for her. Continuing south from the Falls, the trees had quickly consumed her. Thank the Gods that it was such a short walk from the Falls to this place. She couldn't imagine trekking over half the land to get here. It was exhausting enough just getting down here in the heat of the sun.
The shadows had eventually thickened, hiding her temporarily from the burning rays. A sheen of sweat had dewed over her coat, making her look rather pathetic in her current state. The snow that fell around her could at least give the appearance that it was the snow that had caused her to become damp rather than from exertion. A nearby dip in a stream would do the trick, many a creek and stream divided up the land. It should be easy to find her respite. Although, she was entertained with quite a surprise when she approached the nearest creek bed. Well, it wasn't really a creek, it was a mixture of creek and stream. A Cream? Either way, she was far more interested in the being that had waded into it. There before her was a large stallion, compared to most. Although he wouldn't tower over her, she knew that she was quite large to some equines, and therefore, he must seem like goliath. Elsa let out a soft snort of recognition, cautiously wading into the water a few feet downstream from where he was standing. Better to hold a conversation now, right? "Hello there sir," she began, her voice bright and cheery. "My name is Elsa, have you come to find refuge within Helovia this day?" That was a better, more proper line. So often those who arrived had no intention of talking, so she would leave it to him for introductions. Then, if he seemed well enough, offer him an invitation to join the Falls. @[Calder] RE: I follow rivers - Calder - 04-03-2015 <style type="text/css">.container {position: relative;z-index: 1;width: 640px;background: #000000;border: 1px solid #000000;}.container p {margin: 0;}.image {position: relative;z-index: 2;width: 640px;margin-bottom: -100px;}.gradient {position: absolute;z-index: 5;top: 295px;width: 640px;height: 100px;background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,1) 100%);background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,rgba(0,0,0,0)), color-stop(100%,rgba(0,0,0,1)));background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,1) 100%);background: -o-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,1) 100%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,1) 100%);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,1) 100%);filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#000000', endColorstr='#000000',GradientType=0 );}.messageboxgradient {position: relative;z-index: 10;width: 530px;height: 100px;background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(132,161,153,0) 0%, rgba(132,161,153,0.5) 100%);background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,rgba(132,161,153,0)), color-stop(100%,rgba(132,161,153,0.5)));background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(132,161,153,0) 0%,rgba(132,161,153,0.5) 100%);background: -o-linear-gradient(top, rgba(132,161,153,0) 0%,rgba(132,161,153,0.5) 100%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, rgba(132,161,153,0) 0%,rgba(132,161,153,0.5) 100%);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(132,161,153,0) 0%,rgba(132,161,153,0.5) 100%);filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#0084a19a', endColorstr='#9984a19a',GradientType=0 );}.message {position: relative;z-index: 10;width: 500px;background: rgba(132,161,153,0.5);text-align: justify;font: 12px 'Times New Roman', serif;padding: 10px 15px 0px 15px;color: #1a3029;}.name {position: relative;z-index: 20;color: #6c8776;font: 28px 'Julius Sans One', sans-serif;text-align: center;padding-top: 5px;padding-right: 50px;}.quote {position: relative;z-index: 20;top: -5px;font: 12px 'Times New Roman', serif;color: #1a3029;text-align: center;font-style: italic;padding-left: 50px;}</style> OOC: Sorry for the delay. I had the workweek from hell. D: RE: I follow rivers - Waprevah - 04-04-2015
RE: I follow rivers - Elsa - 04-04-2015 Elsa My head's underwater, but i'm breathing fine. Turning a flickering ear, it was calming to hear his voice. There was no malice, not hate, just what seemed like pure innocent answers. For a moment, Elsa felt at peace. She was comfortable wading in the waters, not having to fear about all the little things. A polite, and meaningful smile settled upon her face as the questions began to blow through her own mind. By his words, it seems that he had been alone for quite a long time. That was always an unfortunate story. Even with her terrible luck of making friends, and living in any place, she still could not imagine roaming alone. The question directed at her, however, was quite unnatural. Most were not interested in what she had experienced, but rather her offers and what she could do for them. He was not blatantly greedy, at least that was a start.
Another approached however, and Elsa turned in the water. Looking up at the unicorn mare, her fears were only confirmed by her words. It seems that the Basin could not leave any unicorn alone. Those with a horn here seemed to be suffocated by them. It was like they had a tracker or something. She nodded politely, Elsa waited until the mare finished to respond to Calder's question. Of course, Elsa's name was irrelevant to this Waprevah gal. "It is quite the pleasure to meet you Calder." Her voice was bright, cheery, and generally friendly. "I have lived here for about two years now. I arrived when I just reached maturity. If you wanna know, I was run out of my old home due to "political changes" they were making. I was apparently not what they wanted." Elsa winked in hopes of lightening the mood a bit. She was never the one to purposely kill any positive associated mood, but she was not the one to lie either. "I am currently Mason of the Hidden Falls, just north of here. They're quite beautiful. I'm the live in crafter, so to speak. The God of Earth protects us." That was nice, and not too straightforward. "Of course you are always welcome there, should you wish to come. Even if you do not, I'd love to speak with you again sometime later when you are settled. I like making sure those who get here remain safe." Okay, so the last of her words may have been a tad bit passive aggressive towards the Basin mare, but it was all in good fun. No one was ever perfectly unbiased in the first place. "I am assuming miss Waprevah has a similar offer, if I am not mistaken?" Elsa nodded her cream head towards Calder as if offering her the spotlight. She would not interrupt, so long as what she told was the truth. Mudslinging was no way to play the game of recruitment, no matter how tempting. @[Calder] RE: I follow rivers - Calder - 04-08-2015 <style type="text/css">.container {position: relative;z-index: 1;width: 640px;background: #000000;border: 1px solid #000000;}.container p {margin: 0;}.image {position: relative;z-index: 2;width: 640px;margin-bottom: -100px;}.gradient {position: absolute;z-index: 5;top: 295px;width: 640px;height: 100px;background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,1) 100%);background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,rgba(0,0,0,0)), color-stop(100%,rgba(0,0,0,1)));background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,1) 100%);background: -o-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,1) 100%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,1) 100%);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0,0,0,0) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,1) 100%);filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#000000', endColorstr='#000000',GradientType=0 );}.messageboxgradient {position: relative;z-index: 10;width: 530px;height: 100px;background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(132,161,153,0) 0%, rgba(132,161,153,0.5) 100%);background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,rgba(132,161,153,0)), color-stop(100%,rgba(132,161,153,0.5)));background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, rgba(132,161,153,0) 0%,rgba(132,161,153,0.5) 100%);background: -o-linear-gradient(top, rgba(132,161,153,0) 0%,rgba(132,161,153,0.5) 100%);background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, rgba(132,161,153,0) 0%,rgba(132,161,153,0.5) 100%);background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(132,161,153,0) 0%,rgba(132,161,153,0.5) 100%);filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#0084a19a', endColorstr='#9984a19a',GradientType=0 );}.message {position: relative;z-index: 10;width: 500px;background: rgba(132,161,153,0.5);text-align: justify;font: 12px 'Times New Roman', serif;padding: 10px 15px 0px 15px;color: #1a3029;}.name {position: relative;z-index: 20;color: #6c8776;font: 28px 'Julius Sans One', sans-serif;text-align: center;padding-top: 5px;padding-right: 50px;}.quote {position: relative;z-index: 20;top: -5px;font: 12px 'Times New Roman', serif;color: #1a3029;text-align: center;font-style: italic;padding-left: 50px;}</style> RE: I follow rivers - Waprevah - 04-09-2015
RE: I follow rivers - Elsa - 04-10-2015 Elsa My head's underwater, but i'm breathing fine. Calder's acceptance of her offer put Elsa at ease. The worst thing that could happen is to send Calder away to a place he did not want to be. Meeting up with him could give him the chance to get away should he find any of his residences unsatisfactory. Flickering an ear towards Waprevah, Elsa listened intently to her little spiel. As much as she did not want to admit it, the Basin did seem nice. They had the snow that she lived with all the time, and even now in fact. Absentmindedly Elsa reached her nose up to one of the flakes that fluttered down past her muzzle, smiling quietly to herself. To bad they did not accept pegasus', because Elsa would have been to that tundra in a hurry. It was the only permanent residence that offered nice, cool weather all year round. Winter being the best, of course.
As Waprevah finished, Elsa nodded to her and smiled. She was the most passive of the Basin recruiters she had seen. Most were not fond of Elsa's presence when she was in company of a unicorn. "Of course Calder, the decision is yours." She smiled brightly, truth blanketing her voice. "Do not feel bad if you choose the Basin, I can attest that the North is a place I would favor also.." Her voice faded out then. If they would let me. Edgar flew from the branches then, landing upon her poll with unequivocal grace. Elsa had a feeling that Edgar would be her only companion home on this day. She stuck around though, just incase the nice man decided he's rather live in the humidity-filled Falls. @[Calder] [Sorry for the short post!
