everything's gonna be all right! - cosmos - 11-30-2018 Finally, she has escaped the clutches of her mother.
Cosmos’ tiny, feather-light frame prances daintily through the foliage. Despite her obvious resistance, the little babe had convinced her mother to let her frolic in The Playground. The candy-pink filly is smarter than usual - having inherited her mother’s die-hard curiosity and restlessness. Though, her brain (even in its most youthful turnings) is more prone to philosophical and reasonable processes. Each new plant, bug, and tree zaps her mind. She must stop here! and oh! here! - studying each and every outline of each and every leaf. How exciting it is to not be rushed somewhere by her mother, to not have to listen to boring adult conversations (though she does like learning all the adult words). Thinking of her boredom loops her thoughts around to Myrkari. Cosmos stops, takes a long look back, frowning at the thought of what her avian older sister was getting into. She misses her, no matter how strange. The clearing is large, though not nearly the size of some sights in Tephra. Cosmos peers up one large tree. She throws her knees up against the bark, staring up and up and up, until she can no longer take it and whoosh! She is on the ground, weakly peddling her legs in the air. @[Evenstar] also any other bab that wants to join

Having only graced this land for a month or so, she is anything but shy and often wanders from the sanctuary that is the cove. Ilma took great care of her, and she was beginning to figure out how to communicate. Her brother Finch was teaching her a lot about how equines react without words. A position of ear or twitch of tail could tell you all you really needed to know. But when it came to greetings, she was a tad perplexed. ~Kleopatra~ @[cosmos] Cuz itd be cute for a starlight girl to meet a cosmos pony lol RE: everything's gonna be all right! - aegean - 12-01-2018 love is my religion. i could die for that. i could die for you. RE: everything's gonna be all right! - Evenstar - 12-02-2018 don't you dare look out your window, darling, everything's on fire; She is not suppose to be here. From the day she was born, she promised her parents to never leave Tephra. It wasn’t safe out there, they said. She could get sick, like her mother was, but she doesn’t know her mother any other way. She only knows her blood-stained kisses and her raspy voice, has fallen asleep every night to the sound of the rattle in her lungs. She saw the way her father worried over her, though — over both of them. He didn’t like seeing her mother so sick, and he was always afraid the same thing would happen to her, too. Evenstar is not a disobedient girl. She is sweet and mild, contenting herself with her own made up games that she played by herself under at least one of her parents careful supervision. That’s why it is a one in a million chance that she ended up so far from home. Even though she is quiet, she is not immune to child-like curiosity. Spring had brought with it all sorts of wonders, and she had been positively delighted when exploring along the border of Tephra, she had locked eyes with a fox staring at her from a shroud of brush. Without even thinking, and somehow without either parent noticing, she pranced towards it. The fox of course fled, and giggling in delight, she ran after it. She is not paying attention as she tracks the small creature, not realizing how far behind her her home has fallen, and not keeping track of the twists and turns they take. When she finally catches a glimpse of the bushy tail disappearing into its den, she skids to a stop, but is still giggling as she turns to head back home. Only, she has no idea what direction that is in. She can feel panic gripping her chest, but she swallows it away, turning rapidly in a circle as she tries to get her bearings. Trees. And trees. And more trees. Taking a shaky breath, she begins walking, hoping she will come across something to jog her memory. Instead, she hears voices. Small voices, like children. Cautiously, she steps into what is known as the playground, peering around for the source of the sounds. There, she sees three others about her age, and she hesitates. As badly as she wants to get home, her curiosity is piqued. She steps forward slowly, her small ears flicking back and forth. She does not fully approach them, but instead stops a few strides away, her impossibly soft voice almost lost on the breeze as she says, ”Um....hello.” Her jade-green skin quivers, looking to each of them in turn, and she suddenly realizes that she has absolutely no idea what to say. evenstar.
come morning light, you and i'll be safe and sound RE: everything's gonna be all right! - cosmos - 12-05-2018 Cosmos is peering up at the brilliant blue sky when Kleopatra wanders up. She turns her head to stare at the sunset babe, a wondrous smile spreading soft and charming across her face. The sight of the filly is followed by a concerned nudge (as concerned as a foal can be - more eager than anything). The pink foal rolls in the direction she is pushed, tucking her legs to the side then pushing upward with a slow and odd grace. Cos shakes out her fuzzy coat and short, curly mane, then takes a gentle step closer. Her eyes grow wide as she fully studies the pinks and oranges and purples as they chase each other across Kleo’s small body.
“Hi,” an uttering just above a whisper, tiny and sweet, “I’m Cosmos.”
The stare between Kleo and Cos is growing strange (though Cos will never mind silence or long gazes) when another foal breaks it. She drags (literally, she drags - she loves the other filly’s coat) her eyes to find a colt just as captivating. He is all white, glowing and too pure: the most fascinating creature she has yet to encounter. The gently inquisitive smile returns as she cocks her head and flutters her wings in delight. Not quite reserved but seemingly wiser than one would expect a foal to be, she feels the twinges of a kindred spirit (though she has no idea what that is other than a slight comfort in having him near).
Aegean’s soft hello prods the silence, not quite breaking it. Cos steps delicately closer, reaching her muzzle out to brush it against his before whispering another hi in the exact same cadence as before. The candy-pink girl does not say anything else, finding herself content to watch the ethereal light he emits ebb and flow in utter silence.
(She has no idea how strange she is - not yet.)
Another foal arrives, this one the most hesitant, and this time Cosmos cannot mask her pleasure. Her steps are quick but not aggressive, so strangely excited to meet a bright green girl. There is no hesitation in reply when Evenstar speaks, this time more audibly delighted: “Hi . . . I like your green. I’m Cosmos.”
Now, Cos flares her tiny white wings and turns to each of her new friends, staring for too long before calmly asking, “Do you guys want to play hide ‘n’ seek? I’ll be it.”
@[Kleopatra] @[aegean] @[Evenstar] i'm sorry cos has to intensely study and address everyone she's a weirdo :/

I'm Cosmos ~Kleopatra~ @[Evenstar] tagging who is next RE: everything's gonna be all right! - Evenstar - 12-14-2018 don't you dare look out your window, darling, everything's on fire; The pink filly is the first to move towards her, and while she is shy and quiet, she is not completely timid. An easy smile spreads the length of her lips, and cautiously she takes a step forward, extending her green muzzle to almost meet her own. ”Hi, Cosmos,” And even though she is not feeling as intimidated as before, her voice is still feather-soft, blinking her long lashes over her dark brown eyes as she takes in the other girl’s pretty pink skin. ”And I like your pink. My name is Evenstar,” Her eyes divert for a moment, as she adds with a lilting laugh, ”Sometimes my parents call me Max, though.” She watches the silent filly, the vibrant, sunset streaks catching her attention. It doesn’t bother her that the other girl doesn’t talk; she can see the brightness in her eyes, and she returns it with a shy smile of her own. She almost does not notice the ethereally white colt until he is alongside of her, with his soft muzzle brushing against her skin. With a swivel of her delicate head her doe-like eyes find his, and his hushed voice is not lost because it is so similar to her own. ”Hello,” She echoes his murmur, her jade-green nose lingering across his neck, as he had done to her. The demure smile that lifts at her lips is fleeting, like a flash of a star across the sky, before it disappears back into the reserved lines of her face. When another arrives, avian and unique, and immediately placing herself alongside the pink filly, Evenstar instantly notices that she is….different. Not in a bad way, but her eyes are drawn to her talons, her head tilting inquisitively, but she does not speak up. For a moment her solemn brown eyes match up with the bird-filly’s blue own, and a smile glimpses across her lips, as she repeats gently, ”Hello, Myrkari. I’m Evenstar.” Her white tail flicks at her haunches, and when Cosmos suggests a game, she finds herself glancing over her shoulder at the direction she had come from, anxiety slowly creeping into her mind. ”Umm…” Her hesitiation is obvious, as she turns her gaze back to the circle of foals, all of whom had already agreed to play. They didn’t seem to be worried about the plague, so perhaps she shouldn’t be either? She bites her lip, knowing that her parents would be worried once they realized she was missing, which they likely already had. The little jade and white filly never went anywhere without at least one of them. ”Sure, I’ll play.” She finally agrees, ignoring the threads of guilt entwining around her heart at the idea that she was somehow breaking a rule. evenstar. come morning light, you and i'll be safe and sound @[cosmos] It's shit and you all just have to deal with it. RE: everything's gonna be all right! - cosmos - 12-27-2018 Most would start at the sudden phasing upward of Myrkari, but Cosmos merely casts a warm eye to her adopted sister. This behavior is simply normal: having spent months chasing her avian sibling while she hops from branch to branch, gliding effortlessly through trees as if they are not there, the pink filly is quite accustomed. Kari’s words are of no surprise either, chirping as if she were truly calling from a beak.
Each foal responds in turn, the glowing white boy asking the others if they would like to play. Cosmos appreciates his gentle consideration, so strangely graceful and wondrous for a boy his age. The winged filly is delighted to see they all agree to play, one of the girls even running off before the rest. She watches the colorful girl for a moment, lost in her dancing colors, before realizing she should not know where she hides (a quick drop of her eyes and tilt of her head, no embarrassment just thought). She gives the rest of the babes time to run off before returning to her tree, pressing her head to the bark and -
“One, two, three, four . . .”
Cosmos darts from the rough bark and into the waving grass of the breezy clearing. Her head curls to her tail and she runs in a few excited circles, dizzying herself to give the rest another advantage.
Now, she prances, wobbling to and fro like an untrained act on stilts. Where did they go? She giggles.
