[Geisha]

Imma gonna stick with Dahlia's format here. Things that have actually happened will be written in plainfont; my ideas about what should happen will be written in red. Please post your thoughts about my ideas, and let's come up with a gameplan.

.:GEISHA:.

After running away from her old master, and getting lost in a brushy ravine, she was found by Thunder. She fears he has been sent by her master to bring her back, and he picks up on her fright. They converse for a bit, Geisha's mysterious anxiety and her (non-sex related) courtesanly talents piquing Thunder's interest. He decides he wants her, and forceclaims her. He does not forcebreed her there in the ravine. He brings her back to his terrain, interrogating her about her past. Something goes on to make her think of Thunder as her master, and a few days pass. (Is there anywhere on the Plains that Geisha could be contained when Thunder doesn't want her roving around? A cave by a stream, or something? He could bring her there, at nightfall, and have her 'entertain' him for a bit, before breeding her. I don't know if she should concieve from their first time together.) When Thunder brings Missi to the herd, she's one of the two mares that comes in last. She meets Missi, and is struck by 1) how soon Thunder brought a new mare to the herd, 2) how she seems to be headed for the Lead Mare slot, and 3) the irony of what happened the night before.

.:SPICE ROAD:.

She's on the beach, trying not to cry after a flashback of her recently-broken-off romance. She meets Buddha there, and pulls herself back together. They talk. She doesn't throw in her lot with him, or anything, but may return and visit/fall in love later.

.:DANTE

Somehow or another, he meets Firecracker, Ayo and Ty, Dahlia, and Midnight. He adopts Firecracker, and stops in at both of the lead mares' herdlands regularly. Sometimes he takes Ayo and Ty out on the road with him, and always returns them in (mostly ;3) one piece. ((I've got a plan for a first post with him. It's in the Mountains, and he's just had a run-in with/played a pointed prank on the wolves.))

.:ORIEL:.

I have no idea how, but he ends up as Dahlia's boyfriend. We should have the hierarchy listing changed around, cos there's no way he's cut out for ruling a herd XD He's to... Ori :X

[Dahlia]

For Road: I like that idea; since Buddha's more of a solitary soul than most, it would be ridiculous to assume that he would fall in love quickly, just the same as it would be for Road since she has just lost her love. So, a series of visits and encounters where they steadily become closer would be great for them. Sort of like a gradual, cautious pull between them ;p


For Oriel: Dahlia seems to be content enough with being the dominator and leader-type, at least where the herd is concerned, so it isn't necessary for Ori to take any real role in leading the herd, and he'd definitely be more Dahlia's type since her main fear is having her freedom and rights to her herd taken away from her by allowing a stallion to lead with her. She'll probably have to at some point, but it doesn't necessarily have to be Ori. She could probably develop a fairly platonic relationship with whoever becomes her lead stallion or something.

For Dante: Aro and Ty would definitely have fun roving around with Dante. The way I have Aro's personality set, he would be more the type to just go where the wind takes him, so Dante will undoubtedly be a huge influence on him. Ty, probably not so much.

[Geisha]

Road: That's pretty good with me
Oriel: How does platonic-turning-to-sheepish-love sound? I've done the 'complete worship' thing before with Ori, and I'd like to do something different this time... but he does fall in love (like?) easily. Very easily XD But, there's something (I dun know what it is, he's running off with himself) about him that won't completely give himself over to someone... I think there would/should be a slight, unreckognized tint of 'he may leave and never come back' in their dealings. Quelle Rurouni Kenshin.
Dante: XD I thought Aro had been created specifically for Dante XD He's also got a calmer, more philosophic side that might appeal to Ty (although his crazy troublemaker side could never quite be forgotten ) Dante can also be very laid-back, the sort who spends all day watching the clouds go by over a valley. He's a weirdo :3 I was also thinking Ty might get along with Ori, somehow... maybe they could meet on one of Pan and the Lost Boys' many visits to Dahlia's territory...? It would be fun, seeing what comparisons the two would draw between the matriarchal herds... and what happened to their lead mares. Very contrast-y.

[Dahlia]

Ori: That sounds good to me ^.^ It sounds like things will be a bit complicated between them in a sense; nothing really standing in their way but their ownselves Dahlia would, i imagine, hesitate to let Oriel know her feelings; both because she'd wonder how long he'd stay and possibly how it would affect their friendship and such, but that would also probably be a big plus for him, oddly. He can't take what's hers if he leaves, lol

Dante: Aro was, in a sense, though he also is for contrast with Ty. He's going to be the more adventurous, trouble-maker whereas Ty will be the more scholarly, watch-and-learn about the world type; so yes, he would get along with Dante and relate to him in some ways but probably not quite as strongly. He tends to hold back more than Aro.

And yes, I bet he would get along with Ori. Don't really know what about them would draw them into a friendship, but it'll be interesting to see ^.^

[Geisha]

What, besides them being virtual twins? XD Lol. Ehh, Ori knows Dante a bit, and functions sorta like Ty does for Aro. Except, Ori's objections are more about what's socially than physically sane.
