at the top of my lungs, in my arms (Emm's first death) prt 1

WARNIN'--contains swears and.. stuff.


I haven't really posted much about her life before this point, so here's a summary to read so you won't be too confused :v


Emmy was born in the early 1900's in France. Her dad moved the family to America when his construction business was called on to help build in New York.
The family was very well off, but little Emm wanted to play baseball in the streets rather than playing the piano and reciting poetry. How predictable, right?
She meets this kid John and his dad who is the head police commissioner (or.. whatever. he's the big boss, basically) and blah blah they grow up together and when Emm's parents send her away to an all girl's boarding school, John is sad. BLAH BLAH time passes and when she graduates and comes back during Prohibition, John and his dad are all "omg Emmy, you grew up to be so pretteh."
John's dad is secretly a bootlegger and when he sees how pretteh Emmerz is, he recruits her to be their "persuader."

Basically, John's dad wanted to expand his bootlegging empire, and a few mobsters wanted to join him since he could easily cover up any criminal activity with his daytime job, but all of them kind of needed persuasion, so that's where Emm would come in.
She'd meet them at a bar, show a little skin, promise them things, anything to get them to join the gang. There was never any sex involved; Emm drew the line there.


BUT of course one day she crossed that line and got into this mobster's car. John was naturally upset and he kicked her out of the gang.




SO now you're caught up. Now you can read my crap :/
(I think it sounds a little goofy because I've been working on this off and on from like.. the fall)



If any word confuses you, just go here and look it up with control F.

Here's a few!
dogs=feet
dead soldier=empty beer bottle
shiv=knife
A=epic car

I feel awful.

Hi, let's have a conversation. Deer or something, I don't care.

Totally not TEF related but..

..it's so cute!

It's a live webcam of a barn owl's nest box.


...oh wait are there owl hoots in the forest when it's dusk, if so then it's related. I'm stretching it

Hello TEFc!

Hello all. I'm new to the community, and haven't gotten the hang of the game yet. I don't really have anything to write, but I just wanted to get a journal up.;D
I've been looking for games similiar to this, you know... the one's where you get to play as an animal instead of a human. I prefer these games, over the human character one's. I suppose that's, because I'm a total animal lover. This game is cute though, and I like that there is actually people online. Atleast 50 people were on a while ago. I do have a few questions about the game, and I'll put them here, but I'll go read any FAQ and rules and such in a second. Here is a question I have.
* Can we change our deer's appearance?
I know I read somewhere that we can't change the gender of our deer, but I thought I saw somewhere we could change the coat color and I have no clue where to do that at. Anyone have the answer to this? Thank you for reading.(:

Sushi for the Soul - We Weren't Born To Follow

I seriously found the perfect song for my deer:



Check it out:

Quad -
"This one goes out to the man who mines for miracles
This one goes out to the ones in need"

Quad is naturally helpful, and has gone through countless miracles in his life.

Blixt -
"This one goes out to the sinner and the cynical
This ain't about no apology"

Blixt plots to seek revenge on his brother, who he will never apologize to for trying to (and almost) killing him

Zephyr -
"This road was paved by the hopeless and the hungry
This road was paved by the winds of change"

Zephyr seeks to change things in the Forest, much of her personality comes from her father. Plus 'winds' in the lyrics made me think of her.

Trunks -
"Walking beside the guilty and the innocent
How will you raise your hand when they call your name?"

Trunks is a ghost who guides lost souls to the afterlife. He himself is going through his own penance, and one day hopes he would be able to pass.

Caw -
"This one's about anyone who does it differently
This one's about the one who cusses and spits"

Caw is an old man who sees things differently, and he doesn't like the company of others.

Pent -
"This ain't about our livin' in a fantasy
This ain't about givin' up or givin' in"

...Pent talks to trees. He lives in a 'fantasy' world.

Yeah...I swear I listened to this song like 8 times last night (and 3 times this morning). It's totally my deers' themesong.

Chapter 4

Chapter 4
An abrupt awakening


Anna was awakened by Midnights frantic snicker.Its was soon accompanied by the sound of something falling outside the barn door. Eyes wide open she murmered a couple words of comfort to her horse letting him follow her outside.Looking around she could barely see anything but she could feel eyes on her."Hello she called out in almost a whisper. But no reply was to be heard.Deciding it must have been her imagination she heads back to the barn coaxing Midnight along.

When all of sudden 4 or five people are behind her. Her arm are grabbed and bound something is put over her mouth. She tries to fight but her attackers to strong. Anna can hear Midnight's outraged cry.He tries to bluff them the way he did to Miles but one of the attackers lasso a rope around his neck.Anna struggles against the pair of hands on her arm kicking at their shins truly enraged at them for roping Midnight.But struggle as she might she could not get away. As she turned to look at her attackers she discovered they were the indians she had met earlier in the day. A stream of curses flowed through her mind. Luta must have brought them here she thought but why she wondered. Before she could think any more she was put onto a teathered horse and lead by one of her indian captors.


They were still riding as the sun came up Anna could see things clearly now. The horse she was riding was being lead by Tokalah. And Midnight was lead by one of the other warriors.Annas feelings were a blur she knew her family would not arrive home for two more days,and by that time they would be far away.She knew her parents would be worried but would she ever see them again.Her thought drifted over various other thing such as the reason for her capture. But she could not say a word for they had tied a piece of cloth around her mouth.Once in awhile Tokalah would look back at her for some reason or another. But the one Anna was looking for was Luta the traitor.

My Project Greenleaf Stuff

Hey everyone,

As you may know, there is a project called Project Greenleaf in which players make stuff to sell to raise funds for The Endless Forest. My Project Greenleaf Etsy shop can be found under "Project Greenleaf" in the top menu on the left side of the page. The problem is I don't have any items right now due to people buying and not having much time to make stuff. That is where you all come in. [BE SURE TO READ MORE UNDER THE CUT!]

I want your input on stuff you would like to see and how much you would be willing to pay. I have been playing with the idea of just making a bunch of mushrooms with the clay I have, since I have lots of colors (including glow in the dark). These would just be pre-made. They would be a mix of 2-3 colors. If I make regular size ones, I would make fewer of them for now. If I make smaller ones, I would make more and they would probably be sold as pendants. The regular sized ones (example on left) and smaller ones (expamples on right) are pictured below. Regular sized mushrooms were sold for $2.50 each. The mini-mushrooms were sold for 50-75 cents each because I generally made them from the left over clay I had from other orders. If they're sold as pendants, they could cost 25 cents more.



I have also made custom pendants in the past. Beads would not be included as I don't have money in order to put beads on everyone's order unless I raised the price if someone wanted beads.

What Disney character do you most relate to?

LOL so I asked Mick this question, but I thought it would be interesting to make a blog about it: What Disney character do you most relate to and why? You can choose yourself or your deer (or both). And yes, you can pick Bambi.

I'll say both mine and Quad's:

Mine would be...



Quasimodo, the Hunchback of Notre Dame. I relate to him really well because we're both misunderstood - on the outside we look tough, but inside we both have a soft side. I'm not saying I'm in any way shy or a loner, I just often find myself on the edge of a crowd. While I might not act as 'burly' as I am supposed to, I'm not afraid to speak my opinion (respectfully), and also I am very adventurous just like Quasimodo.

Quad's would be...



The Great Prince. He sees Bambi's father as someone noble, who is kind and wise...and secretly silly. *nodnodnod*
