"Even after death..."

"...he is tortured..."

(For my writing challenge, please feel free to participate!)

The infection is too much for him. His body cannot take any more pain, and collapsing, he gasps for one last time.

The blackbuck's vision fades. His body slowly stops moving. His head rests, and he draws his last breath.

And just like that, he is dead.

He opens his eyes, but cannot move.

His body still covered in her infection, he feels extremely heavy.

Then he sees it. He is being held down.






The infection now appears more like black ropes, binding him to the ground.

He tries to move, but the more he does, the more the infection digs into his skin.

He cries out, but there's no one to hear him.

He is alone in a place that seems much like a flat, barren land.

The sky is dark, the ground...oddly white.

And then his brown eyes catch a glimpse of her...

Iugulare is here, even after death...he is tortured...

[=darkgrey]"Hero...you'll never be rid of me.

"What If...?" (Quad and Deadly Trio shortstory) (Roleplay instead?)

Mick suggested that this might be better as a big roleplay.

I guess I need a vote then. XD

Would you rather me write the story out or should this be a roleplay?

Keep in mind that your character will most likely get killed or turned into an infected, but this way you could give them a fighting chance. The Deadly Trio will win no matter what and characters will get killed, but remember this is a "what if" story so it's not canon and your character does not genuinely die in the Forest.

Story votes - 0
Roleplay votes - 2


If we did it as a roleplay, we'd most likely do them as individual roleplay battles. So you would pick who you wanted to go up against and we'd do a separate roleplay (either on this topic or you could make your own). That way, as many people that wanted to participate can, and all the stories would be interconnected so, say, Iugulare isn't fighting five people all at once. It would be a series of events.

I need victims for this story! Please give me a character or two that my Deadly Trio can infect or kill. This is a hypothetical story so they are not going to be really killed off, but I want to include your characters in the story so it's not just about Quad. Thank you

"What if Iugulare was successful in her domination of the world? What if Quad was ultimately defeated? What if the Twin Gods could not stop Iugulare from infecting the Endless Forest? What would happen next?"

I'm still working on plans for this story but I thought it would be fun and interesting to write a scenario where Iugulare actually won.

Have you tried to add me on MSN?

Hey guys, I'm apparently having some issue with my MSN where it does not alert me when someone tries to add me, so if you tried to add me, please let me know your MSN address here and I'll add you. For some reason when I add the person it goes through but I don't get any kind of notification when someone adds me.

My MSN is quadzilla7@live.com

Suggestions for an OOC character...

So I decided to create an OOC character. He will be based off of an old friend of mine, someone very special to me before I came to TEF and met Quad.





His name is Victor and he is a goat plush I found at a thrift store many years ago. Whether it was destiny or just chance that I found him, I will never know...

I was walking toward the back of the store where the toys and things were at when a lady that worked there was putting stuffed animals on the shelves. I saw her put a goat on the pile and walk away. He immediately caught my eye, and I quickly took him.

Ever since then, goats had become my favorite animals, and Victor was my protector. I even wrote old stories about him. Here's a brief summary, along with some other stuff after:


He was born mute, and after finding a Native American shaman, he was given healing powers. He was eventually captured and taken to a testing facility (I named it "Diamond Labs" after the company that made him, Diamond Toys), where he was a subject to cruel tests. Due to his own healing ability, he would recover from the experiments, but still would suffer. Kind of ironic that Quad is much like that too.

I never wrote the stories but that was the gist of it. He met a female goat at the facility, who had also met the Native American shaman and was given her own healing powers, and the two of them attempt to break out, only to be easily caught and made an example of. They are both about to be killed when the military discover the cruel testing that was going on and halt their plans.

Where do you go... (artwork/writing challenge)

"...when you die...?"

As you might know, Quad has a power where he comes back to life when he dies. It is a blessing and a curse, as he is able to continue his life until his duties are fulfilled, but he experiences all the pain of death when he comes back.

But during those moments of death, where does he go? What does he experience? What does he see?

I'd like to see your thoughts of this, your interpretation of that stage of death. I've never made a definite experience, and who knows...maybe he experiences this state differently each time he's died.

Any media is welcome (photomanip, Harmony, sketch, drawing, abstract art) as well as writings. Aside from that, please use your imagination to create the experience.

I'll return the favor for any of these done by writing you a poem in return. Please let me know if there's someone in particular you'd like for the poem.

If you need any specific information about Quad, let me know. I can also give suggestions or somewhere to start but really I'd like to see what you guys come up with. Also if you need a specific screenshot of Quad somewhere in the Forest, let me know and I'll get it to you as soon as I can. Just say "take a screenshot of Quad sitting (standing/sleeping/rearing/ect) at [insert place here]"

Just need advice [Non-TEF]

I'm sorry to bring this up again, especially here. But I really wanted to ask a question from someone other than my therapist, and you guys are my best friends...so here it goes.

Shimmyshimmy wrote me an e-mail the other day pointing out characteristics I have. It's difficult for me to grasp these because, well...being recently diagnosed with several things including high anxiety and depression, you have a hard time accepting the truth. I've gotten better at this, and am really starting to feel pride, confidence, and better self-esteem.

These things I've just been diagnosed with - ADHD, learning disabilities, a personality disorder or two, anxiety, depression...I'm making a commitment now to not let these defeat me. I've told myself many things that should have never been said -- that I was a failure, that I was weak, that I was flawed...that I should have never been born.

Those thoughts, they're going to end now. I'm tired of them, I'm tired of these feelings of worthlessness.

Shimmy's e-mail used words to describe me such as "fantastic", "selfless", "caring", and a "triumph". To read these words from someone else, that they actually think this of me despite the things I have written on this site about myself...it really digs deep into my soul.

I want to ask this then. I know this is my life and I have the right to do whatever I want with it, but I wanted to ask you all - if you were in my shoes, at this very moment of being ready to move out and live your life...if you knew that you will be living your dream job and that you really don't care about how much money you make...if you already had an idea for things you want to do for yourself later on, but had money to give away or use toward helping others...what would you do to better the world?

I already know I want to donate to charity. That's a dream I will be fulfilling once I have money to spare. But I feel like that's not good enough.

Questions for my characters?

Had to jump on this bandwagon for the 2nd or 3rd time XD!! Of course it's Terabetha and Mr. Sanguine's fault.


I have:

Quad - red
Quad Wolf - dark red
Quad Human - #C38EC7
Pent - khaki
Trunks - brown
Blixt - green
Hex - purple
Zephyr - light blue
Bodhi - light green
Iugulare - dark grey
Anirapio - dark green
Nekumbra - gold

The Great Serpent - #437C17

I may just answer the questions myself or the characters may answer.

Ask as many as you'd like. This is fun for me and it does help me develop them too.

Please give me a story to read...

Hey guys, you may or may not have heard that I was diagnosed with a reading disorder. In short, I read a few pages of something but don't fully comprehend what I'm reading, and also I get tired of reading it after a few pages and put it down. It really made me feel awful that I don't read some of the longer stories on TEFc, despite being an advocate for reading more writing and giving writers more credit.

Therefore, could you please do me a favor? Please share a link to a story you have written, so that I can challenge myself to read them. It's going to be a test of dedication and discipline, and I will do my best to fully understand what I'm reading so that I can give you a comment at the end.

If you don't really have anything you've written, please give me a link to a news article that makes you happy.

Thank you all for your help. *nuzzles*

[b]

When the lights go out

Will you take me with you





And carry all this broken bone

Through stitches and crows





Highways I called home

Something I can't go to now

Until you pick me off the ground





With brick in hand, your lip gloss smile

You're scraped up knees





And if you stay I will lead away your mind

Or until your heart explodes out

Until we find our way in the dark and out of heart





You can run away with me

Any time you want





Terrified of what I'd be

As a kid from what I've seen

Every single day when people shot





And put the pieces back together

Just to smash them down

Turn my headphones up real loud





I think I need them now

'Cause you suck the noise out
