 It was a lovely summer day, warm, but not unbearably so, especially under the shade provided by the ever so kind grove of fruit trees that towered above Sage. Said buck nibbled thoughtfully on one of the fallen apples, debating whether or not it would make a good offering for another spirit. Usually he left glittering treasures he had found specifically for the occasion, but he wanted to explore other options. Apples had a little sheen to them, and they were very tasty, so maybe they would suffice. Then again, there was the question of whether or not spirits even had any desire for food. He'd say it was worth a shot, but a spirit's wrath was no joking matter. Hrm. What a predicament. This post: 124

 Dusty was a young buck with an insatiable hunger for knowledge. Even as a kit, he preferred learning over playing. Adults and especially elders of his warren were relentlessly pestered with questions until he reached physical maturity and it became perceived as rude instead of cute. His methods for learning altered to studying rabbits mostly from afar or in targeted conversation. He also started travelling to widen what he knew by analyzing any new or interesting objects he came across. Summer time had started, so he traveled to Sunset Acres to see if the fruit grove was producing anything yet. He was doing his best to inspect the trees and take mental notes on them when he saw something even more interesting. There was a buck up ahead foraging for fallen apples with THE strangest dye job he'd ever seen. The detail was shocking, he'd never come across anything like it. He usually never approached rabbits first but he couldn't resist the urge this time. He was currently behind the rabbit's location. It would be impolite to approach from that direction so he made a wide arc around the trees, pretending to stop and look at things along the way. Now positioned in front of the buck, he casually hopped towards him and stopped a respectful distance away before saying, "Greetings, stranger."WC: 223 TWC: 223 [OOC: Sounds good to me!

Sage had been so deep in his thoughts, he hadn't even noticed the other rabbit until they spoke. Without even considering the other rabbit, he blurted out what he had been thinking about. "Do you think a spirit would appreciate an apple as an offering? Of course they would, right? I mean, who doesn't like apples?" The buck nodded to himself. The answer was obvious, he was just hadn't been seeing it. Then he seemed to come to his senses. "Oh, my apologies, I was just thinking out loud. Is there something I can help you with?" he replied cordially. This post: 100

Dusty had definitely made the right decision coming over here. The very first thing out of the buck's mouth was fascinating, just like the intricate patterns that adorned his fur. This caused him to smirk widely with satisfaction, knowing that he was sure to learn something new by the end of this conversation. "Well, I like apples. Foxes don't. As for a spirit... I'm afraid I've never heard of one of those." he paused a few beats before continuing on to the rabbit's next question. "No need to apologize, that's the most interesting thing I've heard all day. I'm here to study the trees and thought I may as well introduce myself. Dusty's the name." He didn't bring up the buck's dyejob yet, not wanting to seem rude or like a stalker.

Sage was taken aback for a moment. This poor soul had never even heard of spirits? How unfortunate. Truly a travesty! How could he hope to avoid angering them if he didn't even know they existed? Well, at least he seemed willing enough to learn. "Well, Dusty, you've come to the right place!" he announced with a pleased expression. "My name is Sage and I would love to tell you all about the trees and the magnificent spirits than inhabit them!" Without even waiting for Dusty's reply, Sage continued on, turning around and abandoning his apple with a flourish. He looked up at the tree and placed a single paw on its base. "You see, a spirit is a powerful entity that most rabbits, not even myself, can see while they are awake. Even though we can't see them, they're everywhere, in everything! In trees, in the soil, in the rivers, all things! They use their power to shape the world around us. They're usually benevolent and kind, but if you disrespect them, there will be consequences, and trust me, you do not want to meet a spirit's wrath, it isn't pretty." Just the thought of it sent a shudder down Sage's spine. He recovered quickly and continued to ramble, "I like to leave them offerings to repay them for all they've given me, including guidance."

'Well, he's eager to share' Dusty mused while holding back a grin. That worked just fine for him, being more of a listener than a talker by nature anyway. He grabbed an apple and nibbled on it as he followed Sage, listening carefully to every word he said. The things the buck was saying were very strange and unique. The only thing vaguely similar he'd heard before was the belief of reincarnation, but he didn't think that's what this buck meant. Quickly, questions formed which he tucked away for when Sage finished his commentary.
The explanations were pretty out there, to say the least. This left him wondering if this rabbit was more on the crazy side or the intelligent visionary side. It was too early to tell, although he seemed a nice enough fellow. He would need to phrase his questions tactfully so as not to ruffle him and stop the flow of sharing. "Wow, you seem to know a lot about this! Are these spirits you're referring to the deceased souls of rabbits and other creatures, or something else? You mentioned not seeing while awake-does that mean you see them in your dreams?" he fired off his first couple of questions at Sage, making sure to keep his expression amiably curious instead of skeptical.

Sage looked back at Dusty, unable to hold back his pleased expression. It was so nice to find someone who was willing to listen without immediately dismissing him as some kind of crazy. He gave a slight nod. Of course he knew. It was all part of the job. "Well, you see, each thing has a spirit of its own, even you and I," he explained. "The spirits that inhabit them are their own, no one else's. When their bodies die, the spirit passes on into the sky where they can watch over and protect us." The buck paused to gesture up toward the open sky. "At night, you can see the marks they've left to remind us." "Of course, it's not common, but it is possible that a spirit may visit you in a dream. They can be very mysterious and don't always identify themselves, though. Whatever they choose to tell you is very important and should not be taken lightly." This post: 162 Total: 612

"That's a beautiful thought." he remarked appreciatively while looking up at the sky. Living forever, long enough to find the answers to everything was definitely appealing to him. A rabbit's time on this world was short, to be sure. Tragically short sometimes. On many occasions he'd wondered what happens after death but hadn't figured it out yet. A lot of rabbits thought they knew but none of them had proof to back it up. Of course, he didn't have any proof of his own that could disprove any of their theories. That being the case he was always happy to listen and try to keep an open mind. Honestly speaking though he would probably never be able to commit to any of these beliefs... He wasn't even committed to his own thoughts that probably nothing happened after your death aside from decomposition. It was an unromantic idea but the most likely in his opinion.
The dreams Sage mentioned were the closest sounding thing he'd heard to proof so that definitely peeked his interest. "I'll admit I have a hard time believing in things without proof. Is there a way to encourage spirits to talk to you in your dreams? I could be interested in that." His curiosity was at a high. If he could get spirits to talk to him in his dreams like the other buck had that would definitely put him on the path to believing. He continued to work at his apple while waiting for a response. When he finished he would dig a hole and bury it. His mission for the day was to dig in a pawful of areas and bury the centers of different fruits deep in the ground. It was a project he'd been hatching for a while on figuring out how plants grew. They came up from the ground and their roots went really far down, especially on trees, so he suspected that's where it all started.

Sage gave a nod, a mixture of approval and agreement. Of course it was beautiful, he wouldn't believe it if it wasn't. There was no way a life this lovely could turn to just nothing as many had tried to convince him. There was no other explanation for the lights in the sky either. It just had to be the spirits! "Oh, but of course I wouldn't expect you to. I know just the way, though!" It made him all the more excited to see a rabbit so ready to accept his ideas and actually try them. He rarely got this far with others. "Leaving an offering and talking to them before you sleep is a good way to start. It doesn't have to be anything particular, but they do seem to be rather fond of things that shine or glisten. Bringing pleasant smelling flowers into your burrow is a good way to attract them too. Just remember they wont always identify themselves directly and may appear in various forms before you." This post: 172 Total: 784
