"...thoughts here...."

November 12th, 2015

Yes, I guess I can say I'm gone now. It's been 4 months and I've looked at this site maybe twice. I have absolutely no desire to go into forest anymore. Herla and my other characters are alive and well, though they don't live here anymore. I'm as happy with them now as I've ever been and feel much more satisfied with my creations since removing them from this place. I used to think that would be hard or impossible and if I left, I'd lose them. I laugh now at that, the best way out is through as they say, and then you wonder what all the fuss was about in the first place.

Health challenges continue, and part of that is minimized computer time since it aggravates my conditions to sit and type and look at screens. After a decade dedicated to digital art, I pretty much exclusively do traditional art now. Loving my Copic markers. It has really helped me to find alternative creative outlets like the Ball Jointed Doll Hobby. Starting to sculpt and sew too.

Please don't leave messages here, I'll be unlikely to see them. If you wish to contact me use the email below.

Please do not ask for any of my pictos.

When I was walking through

When I was walking through the forest, I've founded your little Herla ... She was sleeping and looked like a fragile poor thing ... I was obliged to sat near her to protect her from probable evil-minded deers. Well, I didn't stay too long, I was afraid she early wake-up and see a doe with ... antlers ^^'. I know that she does'nt understand that (as written in her bio, if I'm not mistaken).

Hey! "SingleArmy" is actually my stag, Haakon. I apologize for his behavior, he's been so unlike himself lately and decided to take it out on others (mostly minis). He's rather frightened by Gehirn, I won't lie. LOL His bio is here; http://endlessforest.org/community/node/71270 - slightly outdated and re-working it. <3

Alsotrack.

Edit: Would you mind me adding you to msn?~

August 30, 2012 - 5:59am — Sighthoundlady

Eledhwen22: Ah, yeah, I must

Eledhwen22: Ah, yeah, I must have been way from my computer when that happened, but yes, otherwise Herla would have woken up and likely run away. Takes her a long to time to warm up to most strangers.

DogTag: Ah, it’s nice to know now who this was! We figured he was some sort of character, his behavior didn’t seem random. No need to apologize either, it was an interesting interaction. And sure you can add me to MSN, I may have to send a return invite though for it to work, MSN tends to be weird that way.

It was quite nice to hang around with Herla today, it's rare Imp has any company LOL. I'll have to throw up a bio for her once I stop loathing CSS X3

Ah, good to hear from you too

Ah, good to hear from you too NelileTu, your doe was interesting, it was a pleasure to get to interact with her. ^^

CSS isn't required for a bio though! Pffft. Will be good either way to see her bio.

And yup, sleepy times. I'm off to bed.

It was early dawn when the

It was early dawn when the silvered doe chose to visit the Red Eyed Queen. Night was too quiet, she didn't trust it, and the coolness of the morning air lent clarity and peacefulness to a mind upset by fear and pain. She was only beginning to recover from the attack, and no matter how much her trust in others had been shaken, she was still relatively bold. Briskly trotting with head lowered slightly in a submissive gesture, she approached the home of the medicine doe, wary of how she would be recieved.
She had heard of Herla, and of her family, but she had never been so close as to speak with any of them. Johan, Leto, and Herla seemed like nice deer to her, but she was instinctively cautious of Gehirn. Since she was reasonable and not a necessarily biased doe, however, she did not plan on treating him any differently based on something as silly as his size. After all, he wasn't too much larger than Stormchaser.
She shook her head to clear it as she had a habit of doing whenever her mind wandered, which was quite often as of late. The score of sharp hooves laced her shoulders, and the cuts were thickest on her flanks, where Daenir had raked his hooves as he wildly tried to retrieve his mask where it had caught around her hind leg. Hidden by her fur were a mulitude of bruises, resulting from a couple of hard kicks the Phantom had aimed at her. She wasn't looking too well, and she knew it.
"Herla?"

Bladeliger: Thanks for the

Bladeliger: Thanks for the track, and I apologize for Herla not responding earlier when Helena came by, I was afk unexpectedly for about 3 hours, doh!

NelileTu: Ah it worked! ^^

Jinxyness: The feathered black doe lay nestled with her family in the depths of the birch, unwilling to venture forth yet into the cold early dawn, though the sun’s rays had started to penetrate her sleepy eyelids. The approach of something coming through the tall birch grasses however had her head raised and ruby eyes searching in the low light for the source of the disturbance. A small voice saying her name reached her ears and she saw the tiny doe not far off, even in the low light she could see the female bore injuries. She frowned slightly at this, “Yes, I am Herla,” she answered.

"My name is Mitsuki," she

"My name is Mitsuki," she said, politely dipping her head. She winced. Her neck was still sore from when she had gone into a frenzy, kicking with her hind legs, rearing, and lashing her head back and forth to try to see where she was striking so that she could aim her blows well enough to escape.
"D-do you think you have anything for my...injuries?" Saying the word alone made her cringe away, and she shifted uneasily on her small hooves. "I'm really sorry to bother you and your family."

The orange buck wandered

The orange buck wandered throughout the woods, his steps light and his mind in a bit of a flurry. He had seen the petite doe being chased by Haakon, but was too fearful of adding to the already chaotic scene to chase him away with the others. When she came into his sight, he halted, unsure if she was shy of stags, like so many seemed to be, or if she did not mind being approached. To be safe and keep her potential comfort zone intact, he stayed at a polite distance and called out in a soft voice: "Ma'am? My name is Brooks." The buck stated, adding a small bow. "I came to see if you are alright or needed anything.. That looked like quite the scrap heap back there."

Track! That mini you aren't

Track! That mini you aren't sure of is my doe Zori. She's the daughter of White Lie and 'niece' to Devereux. She was checking in on White Lie, and was met by a whirlpool of fighting stags. She stayed around to tend to her father's wounds and keep Dev company. Pleasure to meet you.

I am also the player of the DoTD stag on the 31st. He approached you three (my bad, I was being OOC as I know Imp's player outside of TEF) to greet Imp, and was infuriated by her lack of acknowledgement. Eventually he made his way by the crying idol to sulk after you three ran off, and was ticked, thinking they'd followed him. He wanted to be alone, and so attempted to chase you all off. He's not necessarily the nicest of stags, especially at this time in his life, not to mention stubborn.
His name is The Masquerade (Masq).

(Sorry for these late replies, I was zonked last night!)

Jinxyness: Gah I’m sorry, I’ll work on a reply later to the RP, In Forest events got a bit crazy for Herla.

LilyBlue, Ofnightmares : Ah, thanks for the tracks!

Silverfang: Ah okay, thanks, I wasn’t sure of the name at first! Also thanks for the track.

CydaLuva83: Gah, sorry also, but okay.

Rina: Ah okay, that all makes more sense then, he did seem to be behaving like a character, so Herla responded IC as well, getting cranky with him for getting too close to her and her “herd” when she didn’t know him. XD Good to know who he is now.

Oh the nerve of some deer. To

Oh the nerve of some deer. To be forced away from a friends side and be treated so rudely? And for what? Asking if she was alright? Excuse her for showing concern. The agitated doe sat by the weeping idol, dying to chatter away about such a... a... horrible thing! But they'd all flocked to her and she refused to go see what such a commotion was. Red eyes flickered about and landed on the doe known as Herla. Imp was nervous about speaking with her... after all what if Gehirn had told her of the temper tantrum she'd thrown earlier? She shifted a bit before getting back to her feet, picking her way over to the doe. "Hello?"

That sounded more like a question than a greeting. Oh well... it'd have to do.

September 7, 2012 - 5:30am — Sighthoundlady

Herla had noticed Imp about

Herla had noticed Imp about that day as on the days previous, but had remained avoidant of too much socializing, not feeling herself and embarrassed of her state of disarray as she recovered from her injuries. Being rude to an obviously pregnant doe who had never done an unkind thing towards her was not something Herla would allow herself to do though, keeping her manners despite not feeling her best. The small feathered doe tried to smile to the other, as she sat with her legs curled up beneath her, “ Oh, Hello.” she answered softly.

"I'm so sorry to bother you,

"I'm so sorry to bother you, You still must be feeling so poor after such a horrid event. You are healing well? I do hope so. Must be awful to have such limited movement." She certainty looked better than before. At least she wasn't attacked again and again like White had been. She laid herself down a few feet away, letting out a dramatic sigh, the urge to simply spill all welling up. Was Herla even the type to gossip? It'd be odd to just flat out and ask her. "None the less I do home your day has been far better than mine."

September 7, 2012 - 6:03am — Sighthoundlady

“I’m sorry you have not

“I’m sorry you have not caught me at my best, ” she admitted, still feeling embarrassed of her state, she was also not one to talk of her troubles too openly with those she didn’t know better, so tried to sit a bit taller, fan her feathers a bit more and generally look more put together than she felt at the moment. Her appearance was important to her, “Thank you for your concern, I am doing well though, my family has been taking good care of me. ” The does’ head turned toward the other, “It’s been a quiet day for me, ” something she was grateful of. “Doesn’t sound your day was though? ” she asked when the other seemed to lead her to the question with her last statement.

"Oh I don't mind. You look

"Oh I don't mind. You look better than most would after being trampled." She chuckled softly, noticing the doe sit up in a more regal manner. Zori would do well to learn from her, but that was another worry for another time. "Oh that's good... my day was good...but..." She huffed now, a childishly angry look crossing her face once more. "Well you see. I went to visit a friend, shes carrying you know, and just an hour before she was as nice as can be, we talked for quite a while and she was perfectly fine. So I go back to ask how she was doing because they had left so suddenly and her mate had the audacity to tell me to get back! I had done nothing but stand there and ask if she was alright. He was so rude about it as well." Another dramatic sigh. "The nerve of some I swear. She didn't say a thing either! She let him chase me off! I'm just a concerned friend you know."

/ooc: Dramatic Imp is dramatic./

The little black doe’s brow

The little black doe’s brow rose appreciably when the other doe began to gush about the problem with her friend. Her eyes went over the other briefly, took in her pregnant state, perhaps a bit of judgment passing there, the other seemed to be a bit lacking in some well rounded common sense, ”Perhaps your friend was not well. Stags can get protective of their does, especially when they are pregnant. Or injured. Many want their privacy during such times, “ she frowned, glancing at herself. She’d awoken in her home to Imp and her mate not far off, the other’s mate marking and scenting the area, pacing around right where she was trying to rest. She’d gotten up and moved uncomfortable with the male so close and acting so territorially when she was still so vulnerable, “I suppose your mate maybe felt the same, so I’ll try not to hold it against him too much,” she said, delivering the words sweetly but with an edge of annoyance clearly in her voice.

September 7, 2012 - 6:22pm — Hälla

She thought for a moment.

She thought for a moment. Maybe Aella was hurt in the short time they'd been parted? Poor dear had seemed so pained, but they still could have explained rather than just chase her out like some stranger. Another sigh and she tilted her head at the others statement, chuckling a bit, more so out of embarrassment than anything else. "He's been... very protective as of late." Why Dragari had suddenly taken such a protective route puzzled her to some extent. Perhaps it was something tied in with the rut? "I do apologize for that deary. I keep assuring him I can move spots but he doesn't seem too keen on it. Why I don't know."

September 7, 2012 - 7:22pm — Sighthoundlady

The other doe still looked

The other doe still looked puzzled and Herla stared at her, ruby eyes discerning, before her expression softened. Likely this was Imp’s first pregnancy, there had been plenty of things that had confused and frightened her when she’d been pregnant too for the first time, “Your friend may be close to her time.” Herla’s brow then rose again at the other’s seeming density with her next statement about her mate. “Well, I do thank you for your apology, mates will be protective though as I say. Perhaps he recognizes your vulnerability more than you do yourself? Maybe though if you don’t understand why he is doing the things he is doing you should have a talk with him about it?” Inwardly she was shaking her head, this doe seemed exceedingly young, did not know a lot about herself, much less her mate. They had better figure it out soon. Children where on the way and if relationships where strained already, children would truly put them to the test.

Just wanted to clear up a

Just wanted to clear up a simple misunderstanding about Pan - she'd actually approached Gehirn in polite manner of truce, wishing to sniff, investigate. He ignored her completely, made a point of walking around her towards Umay- which she took as both insult and threat- and then she spat at him.

Nothing big, just couldn't help but correct it~
Also... I realize this is IC so Herla is free to believe Umay is the 'matriarch', but this group is a family, not really a pack. They have no... Alphas, as it were. But s'all good, IC interpretation is as it is, after all c:

September 12, 2012 - 3:59am — Sighthoundlady

Jinxyness: I am all RP pooped

Jinxyness: I am all RP pooped today, hun. I know if I tried to write anything I’d fall flat on my face. Maybe another time?

Pandoras: Ah, I didn’t see those things, but it was a bit chaotic, several deer were approaching/greeting/interacting at the same time. But yeah, it wouldn’t be too OOC for either Herla or Gehirn to have ignored her given the situation. They were there for Umay, the rest of Umay’s group didn’t matter.
The “matriarch” title was one entirely bestowed by Herla and does much to illustrate her female-centric views on family organization. I of course realize that Umay “ain’t the boss” of everyone in her family, and Herla to some degree as well. ROFL. But Umay is the “older” female in the group thus the one Herla would seek to speak with on “political” decisions. ( Terms like “alpha” are pretty outdated when it comes to things like wolf packs anyhow, we know in nature that a “pack” is merely a family unit, usually a male and female and their offspring, the parent’s naturally being the leaders of the group. *rambles*)

The meeting did seem to attract a ridiculous number of spectators, I'll say.
Ahhh, glad that was cleared up then. I would have to agree Umay is the easiest to reason with, along with Kody. The kids are rather hotheaded. And right you are about the wolf packs, there's much more to them than such simple hierarchy.

Welp, anywho.

Waning-Sun: Ah, a lion

Waning-Sun: Ah, a lion character, that’s interesting. Herla’s likely reaction to anything predatory appearing is wariness upon initial meeting however. She’s quite prejudiced that way!

Wake:
Yes, iPods are obviously possessed instruments of the devil!

RikkaChan: Ah yes, it’s true her human past life was in ancient Egypt, but she has only vague memories and impressions from that anyways. But iPods very much are a foreign thing to a doe living in a forest devoid of humans as well! XD

Just to explain Calida (she's

Just to explain Calida (she's a wounded kid yet) the area she was rubbing trees is where Orinocco (her mother) decided to settle about a month ago to have her fawns in, their home territory. Cali, being wounded, was trying to show where her borders were. When she saw Herla and saw where HER lines were she decided it was far enough away (when she nodded) and settled down. Of course if Herla wanted to take over Cali would have no choice but to move, as she's not an adult yet and she wounded so it's not like she can defend....or even knows how to.
