La's Fourth Birfday

LA'S FOURTH BIRFDAY
Where did this cake even come from?
Turns out The Endless Cake Dimension is right next to The Endless Forest Dimension



     August, 24, 2014 is La's fourth birfday, and the only birfday she has bothered getting excited about. To celebrate, I've collected my favorite pieces of La trivia because that's how this nerd would want to celebrate.
  • This occasion is spelled birfday instead of birthday because La does not consider herself to have been born, since she came into existence as a parentless fawn in The Endless Forest.
  • La speaks other languages outside of The Forest with a Deer Accent.
  • The fact that she speaks several languages bloats her score on the Mary-Sue Litmus Test almost dangerously, but I kept them and she scores in the low 20's. Being female, she'll always be a Mary-Sue anyway but I don't even care at this point. I'm self-indulgent. Just look at that cake I drew. You think I wasn't drooling while I was drawing that? Think again.
  • Her favorite human sport is soccer/football, because she says the balls look like what she would have if she laid eggs. Similarly, she loves pandas and zebras for their fashion sense.
  • Her favorite author is Robert Louis Stevenson. Stevenson spent a lot of his childhood sick and in bed and dreamed of adventure--La relates to this as best she can, feeling a bit stuck in The Forest while only reading about grand things happening outside of it.
  • If I statted La in Dungeons and Dragons, she would be an Expert/Wizard/Loremaster specializing in divination. The book would be her familiar as an animated magical object worth well over a million gold.
  • La is probably going to eat that entire cake all by herself and she's probably gonna make herself sick in doing so. I'm mad jealous of her actually. It's blueberry flavor if any deer wanna go eat some and save her the stomach pains.
  • La's birfday is my TEF birthday also, since she is my first and only character. Due to self-indulgence I made myself a present.
     Oh and... La's book decided to show up and for the first time in a while it's blank and lying open! All guests, player and character, are invited to write in, draw on, or mark pages in any way they choose. Grab this blank image and go to town, and later I'll put together a little Javascript slideshow. The book would only ask that you be gentle while it collects the information you give it.
     Last of all, I'm switching avatars for the first time ever. Feels a little bit like giving myself a new face, but I was getting sick of the blue, which is a good color for me but not for La. So, out with the old and in with the new.

Awe, happy birfday La!
The facts were great to read, haha. I love that she has a deer accent, I've always had this theory that The Endless Forest folk speak their own language that they just inherently know, though some aren't aware and assume they're just speaking the languages they spoke in the human world.

That is a lovely looking cake, I hope La doesn't make herself sick eating it all aha.

Who said La was eating it all? I'm pretty sure I'm speaking the unsaid here, that I get at least half of that glorius cake. [8

Thanks y'all. :3 She will

Thanks y'all. :3

She will try to eat the entire cake. Someone should maybe intervene and eat some.

And my headcanon for the forest language is that any Endless Forest native or visitor can speak it. Then there's the Endless Forest Sign Language that we use in game that people learn on their own, and lastly I think that all TEF Deer can innately understand the deep meanings of pictograms, but that non-natives can learn them with time. Someday I'll make a page for all my headcanons.

Happy birthday, La! Each

Happy birthday, La! Laughing out loud Each of my characters is going to give La a gift! Laughing out loud

Nika smiled. Today was her good friend La's birthday, and she was excited to give her a gift she had been working on for a while. "I do hope she likes it," the saint thought to herself as she wrapped the gift in spare leather and tied it with red-dyed tendon. Taking it by the bow, she stood up and began to trot over to The Ruins. La was not there at the moment, but Nika knew where to place her gift; in her "office." Stepping carefully down the steps, she set the neatly wrapped gift down in a worn spot in the ground.

The pale one's eyes followed La's aura trail to The Ruins. He stopped and frowned. How was he to leave La her gift? He lingered at the tree line, his gift nearly wrapped in light blue paper and wrapped in a multicolored bow. An idea came to him, and hovered the gift over to the area that was saturated the most with La's aura. The old cathedral made such a tats painful, his brow furrowing and a vein popping out on his forehead until he was finally able to set the box down in her "office." A gasp left him as he broke the focus, his breathing heavy. It was worth it.

Peppino trotted happily and rather proudly with his gift in his mouth. The blonde's tail was raised up high like he was a prized show horse (and in his mind, he was). "La is gonna love this!" Peppino thought as he neared her office. Heavy hooves clopped against the stones of The Ruins and down the steps. He set down his gift.

Daryl had met La a few times, but he caught wind that today was her birthday and decided to leave her a gift. It hung in a leather pouch on one of his horns. His heavy body trotted slowly to La's "office," and he quietly left his gift.

Thanks more errybody. ;v; You

Thanks more errybody. ;v; You are all wonderful and sweet.

FairyClock oh god yes I need it playtested. Tell me how it goes.

Gus, please do. Turns out the cake came from a portal to the cake dimension (in the middle of the cake) so it's probably neverending. More cake just keeps pouring out.

Mjrn, when I started playing Endless Forest I cashed in my "Get Out of Mary Sue Jail Free" Card. That's where the book and stuff came from. Totally worth it but I'm screwed if I ever decide I want another one.

Nika oh my god gimme a bit to respond to all them presents. La's still trying to fight her way through endless cake.
