Adoption Day Results!

Adoption RP Contest

As the day begins to wind down, most of the food has been eaten and anyone not part of the tribe or waiting to hear Peep’s decision has wandered off. It’s only then that the diligent little Acha gives the nod to her daughter and the Totoma quietly rounds up their guests.

"Thank you all for coming," Peep says, her voice low so as not to wake the foals; they’ve dropped into an exhausted pile and are sleeping peacefully. "I have heard a plea from each of you and it warms my heart to have you here, ready to share your love. You are always welcome at The Mothers Club."

She looks over her shoulder at the foals and then back to little gathering. "Dream Song," she looks directly and warmly at the doe, "you are soft and full of love. I know you will never falter and in your role as a new mother will find your inner strength and confidence."

So many hopeful faces but she looks now at Half Truth. "Half Truth, thank you for your honesty. It isn’t your strength that made my decision but your compassion and your willingness to share your life with another. I hope you’ll come back here one day and we can all play together." She smiles brightly at the handsome doe.

"And last of all, Devotion and Powder Squirrel. You arrive as two and leave as three. I hope the Swamp blesses you with more offspring in the future but should she not; you will always have one child to cherish."

And with that the decision is done and four youngsters have found their forever families.

[Thank you to everyone that entered, I really appreciate it! This thread will remain open for RP. Please feel free to quote me if you want to interact with Peep. I hope to see you again in future Mothers Club events! <3]

Congrats everyone! And thanks for the event <3 It's been a lot of fun playing with Hush so far. I can't wait for her to be a mommy someday TuT  

[Kinu]

(Fffffffffffffffffffff... oh my gosh! Thank you so much! ;_____; Dream Song will be such a happy mess of emotions. Haha. <333)

The little doe stepped into the circle with the others as the games had stopped and it was time for decisions to be made. Her ears perked up as she listened to try and hear over the din of excited and hushed voices which steadily fell to silence. As Peep moved into view she stretched her neck upwards and listened carefully. She honestly didn't expect to be chosen. She was so green at parenting and while she suspected many here were as well there were couples who would likely be looked at as better suited and she smiled warmly at them.

When she heard Peep call her name her heart stopped in her chest. Did she just? No.. she couldn't have. But she had. Her little mouth snapped shut as it had fallen open and tears welled up in her eyes as she stepped forward to collect the newest addition to her family. "I.. I don't know what to say." She said, her voice clearly showing her astonishment over having been chosen. "Thank you, Peep. Thank you so very much. I will do my absolute best by her." Her eyes, still filled with happy tears, as she nuzzled her newest ward lovingly. She was a mother. A MOTHER! Finally. Words could hardly express her joy. It felt as though she were flying high above the clouds. Such a sweet little thing. A daughter. She had a daughter.

Thank you for the event, Ruri! Congratulations to the winners! <3

Owlsomniac

[[ Oh gosh yes they do and they are! <333 Hush will be super happy for her, too uwu
Is it dumb that I actually got a little teary reading her response? LMAO I kind of blame it being 3:30 in the morning though too, /saaaaappp]]

Hush watches as all of the others gather, and she stays close to her new friend Dream Song as the Acha steps before them all. The names are called one by one and when all of the new parents have gathered their new children close Hush can't help a small somewhat bittersweet smile. She truly feels happy for the little ones, and the parents, but... oh. Well.... perhaps it just isn't her time, yet.

Still, looking at Dream Song and seeing the utter joy in her eyes touches Hush to the core. It's impossible not to feel happy, even if she wasn't one of those names called. After all, all of these children are going to kin who will undoubtedly love them immensely.

"...I'm so happy for you, truly. I know you will make a wonderful mother. And... Perhaps we can stay in touch after this? I think I should like that very much. I've never really had anyone I've been able to talk with so easily, before."

((thank you thank you thankyou!!! eeeeee!!!! heart heart Congrats everyone! It means so much to me for their little family to be started this way.))

The pair had mingled a little and sampled the foods. Devotion was fascinated by the different preparations and thought perhaps she'd seek out the tribe that was responsible to learn more someday. Powder simply enjoyed the food.
When the time finally came and Peep gathered them together again the pair smiled happily as the decisions were made and new families were formed. When the matriarch turned to them, tears came to their eyes and their hearts caught in their throats.
"Thank you," Devotion managed to finally speak the words turning from her new child back to Peep.
Powder nodded, "Thank you. This means so much to us to now be three."
Devotion ducked her head shyly and turned again to Peep. "I think perhaps should such blessings come to us in the future... I'd like to return here. Though I have my mate at my side having the knowledge and comfort of other females would be welcome."
Powder nuzzled her showing he felt no offense at her wish. "Thank you. I think even know we'll stay close as we three get to know each other in comfortable surroundings."
"And then we'll go to our home precious one," Devotion said nuzzling the sleepy young kio. Seeing the love in her eyes as his mate accepted another into her circle of devotion, Powder looked again to Peep and quietly whispered again. "Thank you."

Lambhearted had spent the entire day in extreme anxiety, too nervous to even pick at the sumptuous buffet (and what if that caiman's brethen came to seek revenge?!), and now that all the little darlings had found homes, it was all too much.

"Take care of them!!", he wailed to no parent in particular, collapsing in an overwhelmed heap, "d-d-don't let them get e-eaten!!!"

He whole-heartedly hoped that his repeated (and highly intense) warnings about the dangers of the Swamp would stay with the dear little charges who had been such a joy to the Mothers Club.

[OOC: CONGRATS, WINNERS!!! 8D]  

[Chrystali]

The muted Acha trot behind his mother as she watched over the new parents and their wards. He briefly touched his nose to her shoulder before he moved on, baring his teeth and nipping towards Lambhearted's tail. "It's not over yet."

He watched the others that were leaving with his hooded gaze and shark grin, escorting the stragglers. Just in case.


[[ CONGRATS WINNERS! <3 ]]

Hidden in the hollow of an old tree on the fringes of the Mothers Club was Shush, the babble and peals of the romping lambs and foals a panacea that had kept her there even as the sun had risen on her night's shelter, and faded again into oncoming dusk. The impassive mask over the blank of her eyes gave nothing away, nor were her lips stirred to curve, but inside her aching chest, her heart both wept and smiled. Still as a stone, she had clung onto every gurgle and squeal that reached her keen, pressed ear, hung onto every word of each prospective parent, and, most of all, the wise doe they called Peep. The children all had homes now. How she longed to nose among them to learn their forms as well she now knew their voices. May she never find need to lead them out of the dark.

Foxy had come along to the baby-laden gathering of this Mothers Club, scoping the potential of picking - pairing off lone parents, to-be parents and suckers for children, drawn by the bubbly noises of lambs and foals and the potential of sacs and eggs - those she found curious every time she saw them still. She made a full circle, creeping about the bordering foliage, sharp eyes picking out compatible colours and markings, ears alert to hear the floating trails of coos and potential gossip. She was considering the long term benefits of associating with the club when she paused in front of a hollow tree, gaze drawn by the very edge of a pale mane lit by the dying light in dusk.

She shook her thick coat free of camoflauge leaves and kneeled to peer straight into the tree. There she was, that pretty girl. But what was she doing here, hiding in a tree?

"What are you doing here, hiding in a tree?" She didn't expect a reply, for she never did speak, but did look over her shoulder and back again. "This is the Mothers Club turf - oh, are you scared?" She laughed. "Come now, come with me. Let's go peruse the babes, shall we? Shall I bring you to the Mothers Club?"  

[Jun D]

If she had eyes, she would doubtlessly stare befuddled at the Totoma at the suggestion, but she did not, and so she pricked her ears towards the familiar voice, aimlessly turning her head. The familiar voice...in truth it had been but the briefest episode, but since that dream...

"They can't..." she uttered, a whisper that drifted like a leaf on the wind, "...see...me."

The first she had spoken a word to a sapient soul since the Swamp...but in the dream she already had, and it was so hard, in that panic-tinged moment, to separate the real from the dream.  

[Maxx D]

That soft, meek voice struck her like lightning, and she froze half-crouched, staring at her. The sense that this had happened before somehow did nothing to soften the shock of it actually occuring, and Foxy was very aware, from the remaining twigs caught in hoof to the last few leaves tangled in her fur, that this was real, and this was momentous.

But it wasn't quite true to say she didn't know that she could speak, because she did, somehow. It was against her straightforward Totoma nature. Instead, she managed, "You just spoke to me," her eyes actually wide and wondering. "Actually spoke to me. Oh, sweet girl!" Foxy cooed, tender and charmed. "Why not?" This time she did expect a reply, and the expectant swishing of her twin tails showed as much.
