Who is Wishing?:Thistle (see image)
Tell the wishing star a little about yourself: Glancing back at the Rabbit Warren in which he works with is Mate Clover, Thistle smiled whistfully as he watched her lean against her bonded soquili, discussing plans for the next weeks meals to serve their customers. While he was friends with Caoimhe and her own lovemate Ailill, he just didn't have the same bond as Clover and Caoimhe had with each other and longed for a soquili, preferably close to his size (as he readily avoided all but Flutters in their tiny forms, having lost a loved one to a full sized soquili grabbing a quick snack before moving to the Aos Si lands where only flutters and flutter mixes reside in their smaller forms and meeting Clover) who he could feel that same family-like connection. Maybe help out around the Inn even. Run errands with.. Protect him from wild predators like non-spirit touched hawks, badgers, and foxes. Everything is so... Big. It'd be nice to have a friend to sit with who could, if need be, grow bigger and protect you.

Stepping out of the passage way into the night, the mouse nervously ruffled his hands through the slightly longer spikey hair on his head and stood up to look at the night sky. His heart lept as he noticed the wishing star and rapidly ran back inside. maybe


10 Things I Like:
1.Flutters/Flutter mixes
2. Greytone colorschemes with a spash of color (example: black-white-grey-rainbow/Purple)
3. Glowing stuff (jewelery, eyes, hooves, markings,horns, fireflies, feathers etc)
4. Fairies
5.Fairy tales
6. Tattered looking things: wings, plants, clothes, feathers etc.
7. Accessories:Headscarves, wraps, feather capes, veils, scarves, ribbons with bows, bells
8. Markings (Paints, dapples, lace, feathery like, freckles, skull, tribal, mesoamerican etc)
9. plants/flowers/mushrooms/flora
10. Oversized stuff (examples: bottlecap hats, large sewing needle hair sticks, Massive butterflies or flowers etc)

NOTE: If I win a familiar: I would love something small like another mouse, a squirrel, a humming bird -- something like that. Largest would be along the lines of a rabbit, ferret or even a snake.

10 Things I Don’t Like:
1. Muddy colors (baby s**t yellow/brown, puke green etc)
2. Mers/Seathi (I personally like mers, but he'd never meet them as he avoids water deep enough for them)
3. Lack of Markings
4.I really WOULD prefer to avoid anything but flutter mixes with the flutter wings/flutterbirdy hybridwings but I understand if you wanna make something else for me: It just wont go to Thistle.
5. Skinwalkers
6. Bald ponies
7. Image tattoos (aka: Looks like a normal drawing on their skin like a cutie mark -- Tribal/henna designs that make an image when combined with the possitive and negative space, as are dapples/painting style. I just.. Dont like cutiemark type markings)
8.beaks
9. Minis (I like them but they scare thistle -- too big)
10. armor

NOTE: If I win a familiar: I hate jellyfish. Additionally, Large familiars would scare the heck out of Thistle. Also he'd never meet any aquatics other than River otters.

What does your persona or your soquili leave as an offering for the wishing star?

Returning from his room in the warren, Thistle checked all around the opening to make sure he was safe before venturing out to the shrine to the side of the entrance, down the small path lined with little glowing rocks to the structure built out of half of a broken pot on its side, protecting the alter of the travelers shrine, his offerings wrapped in a bundle for easier transport.

Settling down in front of the shelter, he put his little paws together, eyes closing as he prayed before setting out a small bit of herb and natural plant resin out and striking a bit of pyrite and flint together to light it, lighting the incense cone as it rested on the bit of shell set out for it. He then began to set out items, "Dear wishing star, watcher of seekers..."

First he set out decorative wooden bowl made out of the cap of an acorn, stained black and polished to a bright shine. He then filled it with water, poured out of a little sealed bottle made of fired clay, turning the dark bowl into a mirror that caught the wishing star within it through the jagged edge of the pot the shrine was within , "I call upon you in hopes of finding a friend.. A soquili who my heart can recognize despite not having met before, my spirit-sibling. Perhaps a traveler also seeking a home in the lands of the Aos Si.."

Taking out more from his bag, he opened a jar and took a small scoop of honey out, swirling his fingers into the bowl, treating the mirror star as if it was the star in the sky, captured in his bowl, "I give you a taste of honey, in hopes that they are sweet and kind." He reached back into his bag, and circled the bowl with a string of tiny glowing beads made out of the local stones, holes having been hand drilled, "A necklace of made of your captured light, returned to you and to give the one I wish for a guiding light home..."

He then carefully took the last piece out of his bag -- the wings of a butterfly, tattered and faded but still beautiful. He had found them when gathering in the fall, and found insect wings were considered to have great power by his old mischief before a carnivorous soquili stuck its muzzle into their gathering and began munching before realizing that they were not ordinary field mice but spirit touched familiars, sending them scattering. Thistle had been young when it happened, scarring him permanently from soquili until he had encountered the Flutters of the Aos si, who saw familiars as equals and spent the majority of their lives living in their smallest form.

Closing his eyes he held the butterfly wings gently to his heart before setting them behind the bowl, their faded scales glittering in the starlight, tucked into the string of beads so the bowl looked framed, as if ready for flight "And I give you wings, in the ways of my people, to give them the urge to flight, to come here with the same wish -- to find a familiar whom is their family of heart."

He snuffed the incense, then dipped his fingers into the bowl of sweetened water and the still warm ashes to touch to his forehead and heart, marking himself in the fragrant incense, and bowed to the alter, "and I return thee to the earth and sky. thank you for letting me hold you to listen to my quiet wishes..."

He lifted the bowl and tipped it into a little hole set into the alter, letting it drain down the special offering alter that had been carved from the knot of a tree root to look like a singing bird with the lower part of a mouse, a sort of gryphon in mid flight, pouring the sweetened honey water down its beak, before draping its neck in beads and setting the butterfly wings at its feet. Bowing again he lifted his head and touched his forehead again looking up to the star.

please.... Maybe this time? this was not his first attempt, but maybe this time the star would like his offerings. Taking his bowl and setting it into the bag, he slung it over his shoulder and, with one final sweep to insure all was safe, quickly skittered back toward the warren.

Tell the wishing star a little about yourself: "I am Sue, an unfortuanate name. I had a good life, aside being joked at for being named for a girl - my father says it built character - I don't personally care. I guess I took off to better my luck, find someone who doesn't care what my name is, but I haven't had luck yet. But maybe you can help. Spirit knows would be nice to be a carnivore with a friend... Someone whom can keep up, who won't laugh, nothin' like that... Just don't tell the other Kalona, yeah?"

What does your soquili leave as an offering for the wishing star? Rose seeds from her own garden, to plant beneath the Wishing Star.
Short IC Response: In Rosalyn's mouth, she carried a carefully folded leaf packet, something she had received as a present from long ago. As she neared the Wishing Star her heart began to pound and upon taking a deep breath, the mare centered herself and walked to where she was standing directly in the Star's light.

Ducking her head to look at the ground in front of her hooves, she began to dig a shallow hole in the dirt. When she was finished, she lowered her head and dropped the leaf package into the hole, before pressing at the packet with a hood, stomping upon the dry and cracked leaf packet until it was blended well into the soil.

"I've been growing flowers for a long time." She remarked as she worked, as though speaking to another Soquili nearby. "I know everything there is to know about gardening, but I know next to nothing about raising foals..." She brushed dirt over the seeds, planting them, "Well, that's not entirely true. Both foals and flowers need nurturing and love and care to grow. They need warmth and food and water. They need companionship too."

Rosalyn smiled at the planted seeds and then tilted her head back to look up at the Star.
"Only flowers can't love you back, but foals can and I... I so desperately need someone to love and someone to love me. If you could grant my wish, I... I'd be very grateful. Thank you." She bowed her head again, looked back to where her rose seeds were planted and then turned and walked off, holding the hope in her heart that this plan would succeed.

What does your soquili leave as an offering for the wishing star?
Eiryn leaves one of the many bundles of flowers that she loves to collect. She also leaves one of the feathers that has been shed from her wings wrapped around a gold bangle. It is a simple gift but it is the small, thoughtful gifts that make the biggest impact.
Short IC Response: Eiryn had been thinking about this idea for a long while. It was true that she had felt alone after leaving both Tori and Skaal's company the mare had wandered around rather aimlessly. Planting and tending gardens was all well and fine but the mare longed to tend to another individual's well being. She longed for family as well.

Setting out while the star above was shining brightly Eiryn took a bundle that was extremely personal to her and trotted up the hill to the altar. She dropped the tightly wrapped bundle amongst other offerings with a silent wish flying from her heart to the star. Piercing blue eyes swept the sky before she gracefully reared. Her wings beat the air around her as she leaped into the night.

Tell the wishing star a little about yourself: The Prince doesn't speak directly to the star, he prefers quiet meditation, plus he thinks he would look rather silly talking to thin air.

But you can tell that he's a distinguished individual, with a gleaming, beautiful coat and a severe intelligence (though, perhaps a bit lonely...).

What does your persona or your soquili leave as an offering for the wishing star? A small, braided lock of his mane

My Long Lost Family Member
Soquili in search of a relative: Kasthem,
Relation Brother/Sister
Race (first choice): Unicorn cross, up to you with what!
Race (2nd choice, must be mini, common or uncommon): Wind

What does your soquili leave as an offering for the wishing star? A song, as silly as that might sound! Kasthem fancies himself as quite the bard... When he's finished, however, he will offer one of the golden bells from his mane.
Short IC Response: A star that grants wishes. It was the sort of thing that stories were based on, and naturally, Kasthem had sought it out. Its beauty was captivating enough, and he peered almost lazily up at it through his thick mane, noting how brightly it twinkled against the darkness of the night sky.

Chortling to himself, the unicorn spoke to to the heavens, his voice a low hum. "A wishing star, eh? That sounds mighty fancy... Well. Little old me, I don't need much. But..." He trailed off for a moment, some of his humor fading. "Ahh, I might as well tell ya. In case you really are listening... Might make a good song, one day."

Kasthem rumbled to himself, almost as though warming up for a song. "Didn't always used to be alone, mm? Grew up well, with brothers and sisters! But the world called to me soon enough. Had to test my legs, see what I could see! Word's too beautiful not to, don't you think? Still... would love to see 'em again. He laughed to himself, flicking his tail lazily and shaking his head.

"No pressure, star. Bet you get all sorts of requests, eh? Hoo, what a life! I'll think of a song for ya. Might take your mind off all that work." Chortling, the unicorn ambled off, already humming under his breath as he tried to compose something catchy.

What does your soquili leave as an offering for the wishing star? Chii leaves a small gem and gold coin
Short IC Response: Her gold eyes watched as the stars darted by, as her thoughts turned to Terror. The red mare had disappeared for sometime promising to return with a surprise, something Chii would never expect, however the wait was unbearable. It was tedious getting into dangerous situations without her better half being there. Pulling the bag from her shoulder she dumped out a gem and a gold coin, if she had more she would have given it as well. "So I heard about this legend, or story, that if someone wishes upon a lucky or special star their dreams would come true. I believe in legends, stories and if you can hear me I would give you all the treasure I could find in this land if it meant me and my mate could have a kid. One that is ours."
