I used to know a horse, whose name I won't bother concealing because, in all serious-less-ness, I doubt he exists as such any more. His name was Renton Nospe, and he was big on the whole roleplay thing--broken childhood, purchased/stolen, tutored, raised lovingly by someone who tried and failed to reeducate him from his habit of whoring himself to his 'master' to show his affection--he even got sick once from licking ink off the floor after he knocked an inkwell over, rather than let the rabbit find out about him.

We roleplayed for a long, long, intimate time, and he was very loving and affectionate, both in and out of character. I reassured him that there was someone in life for him, but he was kind of insistent that we'd know each other forever minus a day. His character was, evidently, a repressed unicorn; and his spectral parents, though disapproving at first, eventually came to ask the rabbit to take good care of the equine, and really properly CARE for him--which he did his admirable best to do.

After he moved, we spoke less frequently, though with just as much happy intimacy as before, reexamining his final moment of breakthrough as a unicorn, roleplaying both normal and personal scenes, all that jazz/blues/polka.

...And then he disappeared.

He never told me why he left. Maybe he just didn't have time for me any more. Maybe he died. I never found out. Maybe he was married all along, and I knew nothing of the matter, but I doubt it.

But I still wonder sometimes where he is, and what he's doing, right then. *sigh*

Hey, this is a little strange to do, but... if any of you have ever heard of this guy, ever--not just my usual watchers, who've never heard of him, but any body out there on FA--know anything about him...
...Gimme a hint?
