"Feels so good being bad, there's no way I'm turning back.
Now the pain is my pleasure, nothing can measure."

Dark Light II

Dark nudged her stallion as they moved off, her muzzle brushing along his neck before she edged into the lead. Her foal was a lively one and a fast grower. The mare felt it kick as she slowed a moment and she snorted. She was only heading for the valley now, considering the weather and the late season, it was time to get their butts down there. Dark set the pace at a medium trot, the fastest she could do with her expanding belly and unhelpful passenger.

"I'm a beast, I'm an animal, I'm that monster in the mirror.
The headliner, finisher, I'm the closer, the winner.
Best when under pressure, with seconds left I show up."

Shetan

Shetan's expecting gaze set in his high held head dimmed with the heaving of his chest. The proud anticipation, the want of her approval was like that of a young foal to his mother. But it was dripping out of his gaze, leaving only the empty haze of insanity. His mind was gnawing on itself, or it had been. Now it was ravenous, attempting to consume itself completely. Yet, yet there was a part of it that disliked this increased pace. Not yet, not yet. I'm always late, remember? Bah, but no matter, he had to focus here. Here and now, his mind wasn't gone.
The spotted stallion looked down over his body, now aware of the stiffness of his fur due to the dried blood on him. His mare did take care of him that was for sure. With a groan and a stumble, he moved closer to Story. His head dipped down, the feeling that he had disappointed her hitting him through that same strange pathway that the urge to please her did. Shetan's head hit her shoulder, resting there as he resigned himself to this mindlessness for a moment. Then, following suit with this foal-like string of behavior, he gave her belly a nudge, let out a hoarse ghost of a nicker to Rosie, and turned to wander towards water without protest.
Shetan made sure to keep the herd near water, so he was soon wading into the starting-to-freeze water. The shock from the cold rippled through him, and he snorted as he shook himself out, trying to avoid a shiver. The stallion briefly rolled, keeping it very practical, and was soon back by his mares' sides. But then again, he could hardly stay still and in one spot now. The tips of his fur curled with frost that quickly dissipated under the crackle of electricity in the air. All that foal behavior, it was a recovery. He'd gone to take care of his blood-thirst and he needed a little play to even out with the violence. But now he was at a paused moment, and his eyes crawled over his two mares. He had two tugs pulling away at him, one was taking him out into Utasia again to look for his enemy, while the other was pulling him to his mares. And Shetan, being the way he is, decided he could have both. He planned on seeing if the mares were thirsty then taking them with him exploring.

"Who do you think you are?
Running around leaving scars..."

Pax Romana

Pax watched Relic go over to Zee and smiled slightly. He's sure got a good group of mares. Hope he realizes that. Of course the band had taken some hits, there were only three mares now. She smiled lightly and cropped the grass, not really reacting when her newest son came and nursed from her. He was too occupied with the other foals anyway. The paint mare was content that was for sure, but had a nagging feeling at the back of her mind. It was just a sense, nothing really. It was just quiet. And the saying was that it was always quiet before the storm...

"So I put my faith in something unknown,
I've been living on such sweet nothing,
and I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold."

Sweet Abandon

Bandy had collapsed a little bit after she'd realized that Shetan had left with her daughter. Both grief and exhaustion had driven her to the ground. The Pintaloosa mare was curled around herself, her large barrel was what she was really protecting. It all had come crashing down around her; her worst nightmares realized. Shetan had come and taken what he wanted. But why, why hadn't he taken her? Because she was pregnant? It made no sense, but then again why would she even try and apply logic to him? Her eyes closed and she held back a scream, placing her muzzle on the ground. What really killed her was that all she could do to help her daughter now was pray that she would be safe.
When a voice called out, her head shot up and she attempted to stand quickly. It was difficult though with her belly and she nearly fell back down. She spotted the caller, and while she did seem like a member of her family, she dismissed her as a threat due to the fact that she was a mare and Bandy just didn't even really care anymore. Her daughter and stallion were gone, there was little point left in this life. The mare sighed, her head lowering as she settled back on all four of her feet. Her response was a whinny back to the other mare, as she couldn't muster words.

"It's hard to keep a straight face when I just want to smile,
If you could see the look that's in your eyes…"

Kalila

Kali's scent was fainter due to the fact she'd already been covered once, and at this point it looked like this new stallion of hers wasn't going to try and compete on that level. When they stopped and he asked her where to go, she rolled her eyes and came him a small swat with her tail. "I'm still a bit new to this land myself, buddy boy . But I'd say to head more towards the forest." She told him, watching him out of the corner of her eye.

"They can keep me out, 'til I tear the walls,
'Til I take your hearts. And to take your souls,
What has been done cannot be undone.”

Horkos

Horkos smiled and tipped his head as the mare spoke, but his smile dissipated as she coughed. But her health seemed to be her own problem, after all, she was very frail. Besides, she'd agreed to him. "Ah, that condition I can deal with. Can't blame me if he decides to take the initiative." He said with the return of his smile. "Hate to keep adding onto my faults, but if you don't mind, I'd like to head out." Well, head back to his other mare. Rune had been waiting a while...

"Now, I know I'm not a saint,
I've been a sinner all my life.
I ain't trying to hide my flaws,
I'd rather keep them in the light."

Sky Spectre

Spectra smiled back again at her stallion and took off when he did, though she was a bit more playful about it. She kicked out in a buck and took off, tossing her head around as she pulled up next to him. The sky did indeed not look too nice, and before she knew it, there were some snowflakes drifting down out of the sky.

Desert Mirage

Sahara snuggled up close to Storm, her expanding belly making it a bit more difficult to cuddle with him. However, the foal she was carrying would be their first and that in itself warmed her heart. Even though she was still young, Storm had helped convince her that this would be a wonderful venture and that their baby would be very fun to raise. Still, the cold bit at her side and the speckled mare groaned slightly as she tucked her head under Storm's.

Aryan

Aryan bobbed his head as she told her story and was a bit surprised when the topic turned to him having mares. "Ah. No on that front. Not yet," he said, that second no being a bit muttered. He wasn't sure if he was ready for a band, but of course the heat scent that seemed to lace all of Utasia's air was sweet and very, very tempting. It drew him in. But still, mares had been what separated him from Pastel. With a small shrug, he reached out to Nadia and nipped her on the shoulder. "Hey, besides the small talk, want to go for a run?" He didn't bring up the potential of it turning into a race, yet.

Mistletoe

Mist decided to go off down the mountain and explore a little. The mulberry grey was still just a yearling but she was quite mature for her age. She didn't have a heat scent or anything, especially since it was late summer, but could still be desirable to band stallions. Or so she had been warned by her father, Poesis. She wasn't too concerned though as she passed the watering hole within a good hundred yards or so. She kept moving though, finding that she wasn't thirsty as of right now. As she walked, she daydreamed. It wasn't much, just petty things about Lottie and whatnot. Before she knew it she was snapped out of the daydreams by the scent of stallions, and they were close. She tossed her head up and looked around, spotting a particularly large brute (Viking). She paused momentarily, unsure if he had seen her and what his reaction would be if he had. Mist had been looking for a bit of adventure but a big stallion like that might be a bit more than she had asked for.

Corrupted Minds

Circe slithered along close to the forest, the young mare was looking for trouble. The ambiguous daughter of Shetan was looking for Relic's herd, her uncle. But if another opportunity for amusement came up, she wouldn't be opposed to taking a detour.

Khroma Drakon

Ladon looked over his brother with a twitch of his muzzle. "Naw, doesn't seem like it." The foal agreed, feeling the wind blow his short mane and tail all around. The young horse had no real idea of what it all meant, having never really encountered a heavy storm.

Antatticus

Atticus woke up from his little bout of sleep and stood up with a yawn. Still a bit tuckered out, he went over to his mother and nursed. With a bellyful of milk, he wasn't exactly bouncing off the walls but was looking around curiously. He was particularly focused on Skully and Chronicle, his two brothers.

(Just cause everyone's v busy, there's still big plans as far as I'm concerned >:3)

[Ariana Black]

Ivory looked back at her smiling. He loved Spectra completely. He reared up playfully.

Arma looked back. "Hey Dad..."

[equined.]

[Should I just make new characters because I can't really remember my last ones.

[G.L'S]

(That's what I'm doing. I'm letting all mine perish in the upcoming natural disaster and starting anew)

[.The Bootless Box.]

(I feel like i've missed so much and I'm so sorry guys! Rl has gotten the better of me, taking away a lot of my free time. I also feel like i've avoided finsihing my replies, and for tht I'm sorry but I do not want to rp out the disaster. I just want to start anew. I feel like there are too many for me to handle right now, even though I love everyone of them and I am only going to keep a few in utasia. Up to 5 maybe 6 that's it. I feel really terrible about this.)

[eleutheromania]

Glad to see u back. We discussed making a 3.1 where it's after the disaster in the discussion thread. Waiting on the verdict from tiger ))

[grapejuice]

{{ I really wish I was more active here, and I'd love to start doing so. I have characters somewhere in this thread.. Can't remember their names but they exist. If 3.1 is made I plan to become more involved ;-: }}

[Tigermay]

(Most everybody seems down with it, so I'll work on transferring everything to a new thread^^ I can leave this one a bit open ended in case some of us ever want to flesh out the showdown ideas.
But the new thread will be skipped forward in time a few years just so everything's on equal footing and current unborn horses can be about 2. Sounds good? (But yeah, feel free to PM me or just continue this on the discussion thread c:))
