Upon arriving in the forest, found Thais almost immediately. She was sitting with a stranger (Kio) so i went and introduced myself. After a few minutes sitting together i realized i had in fact met Kio before. Unfortunately, our last encounter was not the best and the following couple of minutes left me rather embarrassed. Tried to take a nap but was unsuccessful. Eventually we heard commotion and i followed Thais to the source. Getting closer, recognized Draven and was about to greet him until Thais held me back and i realized Draven was certainly not alone. The look on Thais' face made me realize whomever was with Draven might not be friendly. All i remember was a large dark creature (Maggot) standing in an opening and a lioness (Umay) between them and Draven. Any conflict must have ended before my arrival because all that was left was those alert three. Umay left after a bit, taking the tense atmosphere with them. Suddenly Kio appeared behind me and i felt my stomach clench a bit, but she acted incredibly kind and after a few hugs i felt much more comfortable around her. Draven walked over and we greeted him. Another stranger (Kuwaka) showed their face and after saying hello, sat down. There are many cats in the forest today! Not too sure if they where friendly but hey! "Kind until proven otherwise" eh? The rest of us sat ourselves near them.

After a bit, Thais left so i stood up to stretch my legs, Draven did the same and we stood around for a bit watching fawns prance about the river edge. Everything seemed nice until i saw Maggot staring us down. I initially feared for Draven's safety and stood between the two. While thinking about what a hero i was being, Maggot advanced and that flipped my "scaredy-cat" switch and i hid behind Draven. He was well aware of the beast and shooed me away so i wouldn't get hurt. Finding a nice spot on the bridge, i waited for the events to play out. It was hard to tell what was happening but there seemed to be no fighting. After the adults finished, whatever it was, Draven came to the bridge and indicated that the coast was clear and i could leave the bridge. Although he was out of sight, he was certainly not out of mind, i stayed glued to the bridge. Draven came and sat down with me on the bridge. There was probably a mutual feeling of worry between us.

After a bit of wandering, happened upon Draven and Rose. Stayed with them for a bit. Another stranger showed themselves (Dazenth), this one a species ive yet to see before. No matter, i greeted them and the four of us hung out on the bridge. Eventually Thais came but she refused to come near the bridge with the dragon. Thais and i simply sat down on the riverbank for a bit before walking off to sit somewhere less busy. We wandered more and saw Ross and Cole. Thais left eventually and i was left to wander more. i saw Flyleaf in a large ground and stopped by to say hello. I kept moving though, leaving the group behind. Came across Draven and Rose again by the pond and stayed with them. Saw Cole pacing the pond, not sure why. As wonderful as everyone's company is, i felt the need to keep moving. Passed by the oak and saw Ross again. Poor guy still looks awful. i went over to sit with him a bit. Soon got the feeling he didn't really want me there so i left. But not without leaving a bundle of Hyacinth from my crown for him. Hope he feels better soon. Wandered the forest alone for the rest of the time.

Arrived feeling a bit lonely despite all the familiar faces in the forest. Wandered a bit craving some sit-down time with someone. Saw Flyleaf and a stranger ("Lovex") and sat with them, feeling a bit better. The sitting didn't last long and soon many new faces approached and i met some new deer. The large grouping of us spent a considerably long time running around and casting. At one point we went at watched a pair of deer that where throwing up dust in the distance. Not sure who or why. Dazenth showed himself again but i didn't stay to chat. Saw Draven at a nearby tree and went to join him. We sat for a bit before falling asleep.
Was awoken by a rush of energy migrating to the playground. Snippets of sentences like "zombie" "here" and "awake" where heard. Bid the sleeping Draven goodbye and excitedly went to investigate the rocks. The air got thicker and thicker until it was a heavy fog. A
discernible silhouette of a group a deer became visible. The magnificent Halloween god stood among the crowd. Realizing this rare opportunity, i greeted him (Though he likely hardly heard me) and gazed interested at his mask. I saw a few in the crowd running off to grab spells and quickly caught on. I ran to the nearest fungi tree and quickly grabbed a spell and made my way back to secure the next item in my collection. The moment the great stag came into view, he sat down and left. His fog lingered only a few seconds longer and i stood there shocked, considering how bad my luck could possibly be. Began to sulk a bit until i saw Thais running and many following her. i booked it after her as fast as i could and saw the god once again along the pond edge. Before the crowd made their way there i was able to face him and make the transaction. Now, the proud owner of a beautiful skull mask. As the crowd arrived, the god began to dance. This led to a large group of deer all dancing with the god, what fun! Saw many familiar faces in the dancing crowd. My previous exhaustion was lifted and i danced with them for a while. Eventually Velocity sat down so i went and danced with Thais, to keep out of the casting line. Ive never felt such a rush of emotions! Sat down with Thais after a bit. The God's fog felt like a warm blanket. I began to nod off and soon fell into a deep slumber.
I awoke by the pond with no group, no god, and no Thais. Stood up and wandered a bit to regain my senses. The new mask fit beautifully. Passed a large group of deer in zombie attire and deduced it was whats left of Velocity. Found Thais and Cole and sat down to join them. After a bit of napping, Thais and i went to seek out Draven. Found him in Rose's company and after a bit, Cole tagged along too. Rose left for a bit and her return brought her in worse condition. Tried to show support for her, Cole left to sit by a tree. In the rush of activity, Nevermore sneaked up on me. its nice to see him again. Those of us left, sat down to calm down.

Woke earlier than usual and thought i was still dreaming. Flowers rained from the sky, small graves where scattered over the ground and i could blow large bubbles! Intrigued by the graves i went to investigate them but the markings were too faded to make out. A trip down to the pond was even more astounding. Where the water used to be, a red sludge sat. A step into it and a quick drink could not explain what became of the water. Saw deer sporting candles and recalled what i heard about them. Almost stumbled over a few graves in my excitement to get more candles. Arrived at the playground to see the rocks covered in candles. Restocked my crown with new candles. Wandered a bit after that, saw Draven but he was fast asleep. Took a trip to the ruins and wandered a bit before accidentally falling into the ditch. I heard a crack and at first, was worried it was a bone. Stood up and shook myself out. No pain or anything but after setting my foot down again i heard another crack, as if i stepped on something. lifting my foot from the edge of the ditch, i took a closer look. little bit of time in the dirt revealed broken shards of glass. Even further digging revealed some glass objects still intact. I took a few of them up to a ledge for better lighting. As one would assume, i put them around my neck. The lack of sleep was getting to me and as the oak came into view, i decided it would be an ideal place to catch up on my sleep.
Woke up a bit later, covered in the blood red flowers that where still falling. Their scent was indescribable, i put a few in my crown. A quick run and i found myself at the statues with, by far, the largest group i've ever seen. Many where dancing in a semicircle so i joined them to shake off the grogginess of my nap. The number of individuals in the area was making it very noisy. As much as i enjoyed dancing, i felt i had to leave for a bit. Didn't see many familiar faces but kept wandering nonetheless. Walked down to the pond and sat on the bank looking at the new colors that adorned it. Tested the liquid a bit and was so enthralled. Wishing to keep some for myself, i dipped a vial in. i had to get a little creative to find a way to keep it from spilling. The result was a thick leaf and a strong stem tied over it. Proud of my collection's growth, i went back to the large group of dancers. I saw Rose but i don't think she saw me. Understandable, it was very loud and busy. I went to the pond again and decided to sit in it. I started to nod off a bit and soon i noticed my beautiful mask was floating away. I panicked and began yelling. Luckily, Flyleaf saw me and my issue and was able to reach it before it floated too far. Grateful for his help, i sat with him for a bit and was soon fast asleep.
