A Foal For Freedom - Start

Regan

Regan watched as the stallions were released. Seeing as each one fled to particular stalls. She pranced in her stall pacing and running her nose near the bars looking. It was like half of the stallions were scared of her and the other half were fleeing to other mares. Though the beta and alfa just stood quietly before making any moves. She stomped her hooves against the hard ground in anger. She wasn't crazy but she also wasn't a sweet little mare who cowered in front of a stallion that said hello to her.

She circled in her stall back to her water bucket, it was tiny and from what she could tell it had algae growing up the sides from the sitting water but her dry throat was calling to it. She stuck her muzzle in the room temp a ture water moving her lips around to move aside the top layer of the sitting water. She tuck a big gulp of the water as it flushed through her system quenching her thirst.

Tigamas

Tigamas felt a rush of excitement flow through him as the alfa released them, though he didn't want to seem to eager so he walked with confidence and at a normal paced while most stallions rushed to the stalls. He looked at all of the mares... he looked seeing his cousin. 'Maybe just a small talk'he thought to himself as he slowly headed over there. He knew most likely that the alfa would not a prove of him using this time to talk to his cousin but he hadn't talked to her in a long time.

Ramone:

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." he promised, backing up a little to show he would not hurt her. Ramone smiled softly at her and spoke to her calmly "Lost at Sea is a lovely name." All thoughts of his sister were completely out of his mind, for now he was fascinated by this mare. He found her pleasing to look at, despite the many scars that covered her innocent skin. The thought of a stallion hurting her made him cringe, how could someone hurt such a sweet mare? No matter, that was in her past and he would not bring it up, for fear of causing her pain.



Asteria:

"Still no sign of Ramone..." she whispered to herself, a little disappointed she hadn't seen him yet. "On the bright side, maybe he has found mare?" I thought hopefully to myself, wishing that the mare(s) he picked today would be good for him. Asteria knew her brother would never harm a mare, he'd be a gentle mate. She pushed aside her thoughts for her brother, looking at all the stallions scattered abroad, maybe if she was lucky, she'd like the stallion who won her.

((O.O My god, a lot happens while just typing these two up. Had to even change one of them. lol))

Takoda

Takoda let the other stallions go first, he was patient enough to wait for the others to have their look first. As he has had plenty of times to choose the years before, so he would rather take those in that were chosen last. Once most stalls had a stallions head poking through, the liver chestnut moved passed them to the closest open to stall. Once reaching it, he poked his own large head in to see who was in it. And it seemed to be a agitated mare by the name of Regan.

Takoda took in a deep breath, closing his eyes momentarily before reopening them and speaking with a calm voice to the younger mare. "You seem to be a little... Jumpy?" Takoda asked.

Jaqualis

The dark bay sighed as she half looked out her stall door, she didn't near it and did not even try to listen to what the stallions were saying. Because right now, she would rather break out and run as far as she could. But with her starving and not being in the best mood, her ability to get away is most likely nil. So, Jaqualis instead decided to take everything that was about to happen to her in stride, she will adapt to this and she will prevail despite what may happen.

So, when she finally heard the stallions moving on to their stalls, she took in another deep breath and prepared herself to what the stallions would be like. Though, at the sight of a lanky stallion walking to her stall first made her mind go blank. She herself was not small, she had quite a large build compared to the others. So she wondered what made her so interesting. "Yes... Unique name. And you are?" Jaqualis asked, unlike the stallions, she didn't know any of their names, so for her name to be known kind of shocked her.

((Whoops sorry, posted twice. XD))

Regan

Regan ears pricked at the sound of the stallion's voice. She turned to the stallion " you could say that ... how could i not be jumpy when your bachelor group of stallions swindles me and captures me and then stuffs me in a stall?... while you stand there and look at me like im some prize?" she sneered to the older stallion. Regan definitely had some fire in her and it would take one heck of a stallion to extinguish it. Though her coment sounded harsh and rude it was more of a smart alec move on her part.

Regan was very witty and clever. She wasnt going to let a stallion get the best of her. She stomped her hooves pressing her face closer to the stallion showing she had no fear. Most mares in the barn would have cowered and sent themselves back to the corner of there stalls were she saw most of them all the time.

Tigamas

Tigamas kept pace as he was cut off by an older stallion near Regan's stall. he gave a snort as he stopped to watch the two. He quickly cut off his eye contact to the mare and began looking around for a mare to talk to. He was unsure as he looked at all the stallions gathered by particular mares stalls. But Tigamas's plan was to just grab one of the last mares that was not picked. No need to go and talk to these mares when he knew already he didnt like most of them.

[Forada is open to interaction]

|| Nekros ||

The colorless stud watched as the stallions dispersed among the stalls. Looking between the mares, no mare seemed to get more attention than the others. Though he quickly noticed Baez speaking with his sister. Calm down, Kros. Baez is one of the best stallions in your herd for Ryaki... He thought as he forced himself to look away.

He decided he would talk to the mares. Or at least try to, he was never good at socializing. He decided he'd try for Amour. She was pretty, and had a fairly likable personality. He knew she had yet to birth, so she would be inexperienced with a stallion who demanded a foal.

Walking to the tan and white mare, he stood proudly before her stall, looking at her through the corner of his eye. "Amour, might I say you have a beautiful coat, even if it isn't groomed?" He tried to make small talk to see her reaction, but he didn't know much about talking to mares. Before being Alpha, he usually got stuck with the mare no one wanted, and so he hadn't had foals. This was his first Auction as Alpha. He watched her, studying her closely.



|| Nero ||

The heavy stallion smiled at her kind reply. He nodded when she answered his question. "Yes, that's good. Oh myself...well, I'm ok. Hoping I don't mess this up." He chuckled nervously as he looked around, before returning his eyes to the pretty mare before him.

"In all honesty, I'm not really sure what to say that won't be offensive or rude to you.." He then avoided her gaze, not wanting to seem foolish. I must already come off as a complete foal, and a fool. He scolded himself silently as he lifted his head again.



|| Ryaki ||

The young filly looked up when a familiar stallion approached her. Smiling she pulled her head back into the stall so he could come closer. She didn't understand the no-touch rule, it was odd to her. But she wasn't her brother, so she guessed she'd never understand.

She flinched slightly when he spoke, not expecting him to do so, it had spooked her slightly. Trying to shake it off she nodded at his question. "I am very excited, though Kros said I shouldn't be, especially since so many of the stallions don't care about my innocents and just want a foal." She shrugged slightly, though it was barley noticeable with her petite, dainty shoulders.

"How are you, Baez? It must be very exciting to know that you know have two chances of your blood passing on past your daughters? You don't have any grandfoals, Kros said." She was completely oblivious to how her words might hurt the older stallion, after all it was probably just as scary and worrisome for him that Isolda was to be auctioned off this year as it is for Nekros that she is to be sold this year as well.

[Sakura is open to interaction]

//Borak//

The dark chestnut stallion gave shake of his head as he trotted to Forada's stall and stopped. Giving his mane a shake he pricked up his ears with curiosity for the mare. "Hello Forada" he said taking a step back and bobbing his head up and down. Taking a moment he noticed all her features her silver-blue color and grey-brown mane and tail with streaks of white in them. Giving his head another bob in the air he looked into her eyes noticing the dull blue in them. Ignoring the pink scratches on her body he didn't care about them it didn't matter about the looks to him.

//Sakura//
The coal black mare stepped into the light that shined through her stall and looked at all the stallions at other mares stall's. Giving her head a shake she sighed "Once again I'm last pick...." she mumbled but didn't mind to much. Sakura took a breath noticing any stallions any particular that would be good for her. Finding none that came to her stall she backed up once more into the shadows of her stall.

|| Forada ||

The silver grullo mare lifted her head when a stallion came to her stall. She stuck her head out of her stall as far as she could. She bared her teeth, snapping at him. "What do you want?" She growled, her teeth still bared as she pulled her head away from him and back into the stall. She hated that the stallions could just prance around, completely free, and she was expected to be nice to them, when it was her fault she was stuck in this small, cramped, gross stall for the past several days with very minimal time to eat and drink.

//Borak//

The dark chestnut stallion looked with his chocolate brown eyes at Forada and shook his head and backed away but still in front of her stall. Taking a breath he looked into her eyes "I won't hurt her Forada. I came to ask how are you doing despite the circumstances?" he said giving his head a shake as he flicked his cream colored tail. Taking a little step closer to her he smiled at the mare trying to stay friendly.

Tigamas

Tigamas found himself near a young mares stall. She was obviously in some type of a mental state and didnt look very good. He peeked his head in the stall as he spoke. " You are Sakura i presume?" he said mysteriously by looking at the smaller dark colored mare. as he noticed she was huddled in the corner like she had been placed in time out.

|| Nero ||

He visibly gained more confidence when they settled on an easier to talk about topic. "Well, yes, I'm pretty excited. I hope I get a mare who doesn't mind me all to much. Though I'd like a foal, I won't pressure whoever I get to have one." He shrugged as he looked at everyone else around him. Then back to the beauty before him.

"And yourself? What are you hoping for?" He asked, searching her eyes for no emotion in particular. "This is your second one, right?" He knew it was, but it would just add to the conversation to know more about her.


|| Ryaki ||

She tried to ignore his slight frown. Watching him, waiting for him to reply shed smiled. "Oh...about having a foal? I'd love too! I want to be a mother, though I'm still young, so I'm not to positive of my fertility." She attempted a chuckle at that, as she moved forward in her stall slightly.

Her bright eyes were full of life as she smiled. She enjoyed the company of the older stallion. He was kind and gentle, and cared about what she wanted. But would some other stallion find interest in her? She didn't want Baez to have to fight for her, but would he if it came to it? Did he want her that much?

Shaking the thoughts away she continued to smile. "Do you want another foal?" She asked, wondering if two was enough for Baez. She doubted he would push his mare into a foal, but if he wanted a foal and got Ryaki, she would try and provide him with one as best she could.

|| Forada ||

She snapped at the stallion again, though from within her stall. "Well, considering I am stuck in a stall, starving, and thirsty, and about to be sold to probably to the stallion who didn't find anyone they liked, I'm doing pretty bad." She snorted as she turned away from him, closing her eyes so she didn't have to see his reaction.

|| Lost ||

She studied the stallion closely, trying to figure out his motives. It was all an act. He was being kind to her now so she would trust him and then he would claim her and then he would hurt her. She knew the cycle well enough by now not to be fooled, and this stallion was no different. He was evil inside, just like the rest of them! All he wanted to do was hurt her! Lost shuffled back more, sides moving faster than they would if she were calmer. Lost at Sea was certainly not a lovely name. It was a terrible name, one that reminded her of how she was changed. How she always felt lost at sea and without a purpose and alone and how she could do nothing to change it. How could he say such lies? She had to say something. That's how this worked, right? He said something, then she said something, and they would go back and forth until one of them got bored and the stallion would move on. The stallion. She didn't know his name.

"What's your name?" She mumbled, averting her gaze to the floor of the barn.

|| Sailor ||

She didn't know his name? Sailor tried not to be too offended-- it wasn't like they were ever best friends, or had even spoken to each other before, for that matter. Sailor could name almost every mare in the barn, though. After all, most had been in the auctions before and he recognized them from years past, just as he did Jaqualis.

"Sailor." He replied, giving a small shrug. "Very unoriginal, of course, but it suits me, I suppose. I remember seeing you last year, and maybe the year before. Are you three years old, now? I can't possibly keep track of the ages of every horse in the herd, but you look very youthful."

|| Apollyon ||

Of course, Isolda's respectful gesture was well-received by the prideful beta, and he let out the faintest hint or a smile (or perhaps it was more of a smirk) to the mare, watching her closely, though without a hint of lust in his eyes. He did not lust over mares. He admired them, and got them if he so wanted. And then, when she spoke with a voice that was sweet and innocent, he couldn't help but let out a soft amused snort. How was he? He certainly hadn't expected any mare to care about he was.

"As well as I can be." Apollo replied quietly, voice deep and low in volume. "A little stressed out, but that's natural." His job wasn't always easy, and he was on edge now more than normal. How long would it be before a fight broke out early over a mare? It had happened last year, and the year before, and probably every year before that. Testosterone-raged stallions should not be gathered into a small barn full of mares. "And what about you, miss Isolda?"
