"...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.

I do hope that rp is allowed

I do hope that rp is allowed here, for I would very much like to rp as Bear here. Is that ok?

CalidaAmeerah: I noticed you

CalidaAmeerah: I noticed you posted that same explanation on several different character’s bios, and that’s fine I guess. Bit confusing though since Calida’s bio said she would not interact with anybody not on her relationship’s list, no exceptions. I noticed you changed that now, but at the time that’s what it said. Perhaps if you are truly interested in interacting with other characters in the forest an updates section where you can explain her actions might make your life easier. And be less confusing overall.

Nettlebrier : I do allow RP on Herla’s bio but I have to say, my muse for random RP is pretty lousy. Thanks for the interests though. I always like to say people are welcome to try in-forest interactions, no way for me to say that will go “well” though, Herla is who she is and not always the easiest to get to know or get along with.

I understand your confusion.

I understand your confusion. I had put it on Ramsus's bio while it was happening and figured they didn't see it and i wanted to make sure things were understood. I wouldn't have posted here if you had left it out, but again, I guess I'm over-protective of Calida seeing as I'm often misunderstood.

The warning had been there at first, for less than a day. It was a rash decision that I reversed while trying to figure things out and I do apologize for it. I had an update thing but people were taking things the wrong way and not as they truly happened so, taking others' examples, decided to stop the updates. I didn't think anyone but my close friends were viewing it anyway.

I apologize for yesterday.

I apologize for yesterday. That was a player error. Since my characters don't usually bother with territories, I just have them run at random. So when Leo wanted to get out of a situation, I just had him take off and that's where he happened to end up. Luckily I caught him or else he would have accomplished two things: Annoy Herla and run into Drinkplaats. I don't know how on earth he'd manage to live through both! I won't say if he wanted to stalk Herla yesterday or not, since that sort of thing is up to him, but I do know that getting that close to her was unintentional.

Waning-Sun: Oh? Seemed

Waning-Sun: Oh? Seemed Leander was circling to us, and he came back a few times. I don’t mind in-character stalking, but they will get an in-character response. Eye Don’t worry about it.

Odyssey: Awww, poor Brazen. We know it was an accident. Herla has to have her temper tantrum though! XD

All right, I felt I had to apologize on his behalf anyway. Smiling

Was posting all that publicly really necessary? Hasn't she done enough damage to him? Heh...
Sighthoundlady's picture

I didn’t post anything that

I didn’t post anything that wasn’t totally IC for Herla to say, based on legitimate past events, Shi. Guess I didn’t realize it was a “secret.” You’d like me to write it differently?
Shiori's picture

It's not a secret, but I

It's not a secret, but I don't see you posting her other conversations out in length like that >< Feels a little targeted to be honest...

...Really? Sight always writes novels. You should see the things she updated on Herla's diary archive a while ago. I had to scroll so much my fingers hurt.

I said conversations in detail not the length of her diaries...but this is between us
Sighthoundlady's picture

Shi, I always write crap tons

Shi, I always write crap tons on my updates, Mis reads them, she knows. Yes including in detail about conversations my characters have. You may not pay attention or read them, but this is nothing new. Everybody is “targeted” equally that way. I prattle on and on and on. Don’t worry so much, I’m pretty sure hardly anybody reads them anyways.

I do read them sometimes and I haven't seen anything like this actually...but heh, yeah, ok...

Wow, she's a really beautiful and well-developed character! It was nice to encounter her in the forest c: Though I apologise if Fieran seemed a bit vacant. Socialising isn't his strong point. X'D

It fell in the evening and

It fell in the evening and the night was much closer than ever. Spring Trees and cabbage at the time empty. Just appeared very pale light, almost imperceptible, during which time dimmed. Quadda was far from her hiding place, but she knew the light and know what it means.

She turned slowly and looked in the direction from which the wind blew the smell Herla. Shivered and sighed, before she released that way. Her journey was not long, and yet it seemed to go all night - or rather ran. Leaves only buzzed when among lying gold leaf broke into her hooves. Finally arrived in places where should be Herla. She saw her and listened hard. She looked a little timidly backed up. Her body tightened again and tried to come against Herla, right in front of her face and eyes to see her. Remained eventually become just about in sight.

"Herla.. Ehr... Good evening, Herla." quickly said and listened nervously shifted and clung to the older doe eyes to her body shuddered uneasily (and then again stopped shaking).

rblackwell: Oh I’m sorry,

rblackwell: Oh I’m sorry, for missing your comment so long. Thank you! I’ve put a lot into her. I can’t recall meeting Fieran straight out, but that is my failing.


Rhhya:
Evening was indeed falling, darkness beginning to descend over the forest, Herla at the ruins to collect her son, her mate not too far distant as well. The sound of another coming out of the forest towards her, had the feathered does’ eyes peering into the darkness until the shape revealed itself and the sound of the voice confirmed the other’s identity.

The other appeared nervous, timid even maybe. Herla’s ears fell back though, her mouth pursing into a thin line, unaffected by this, “Quadda,” she responded tersely. A reserved greeting. Ruby eyes perhaps a bit cold. She stood waiting for the reason for this approach, gaze wandering briefly for sight of her son, she was there to take him home with her.

She just looked at the

She just looked at the others. She ran her kind of wave of terror and sadness that she almost forced to flee, and she took a step back. "I... uh... just..." stumblingly said. She threw back her head and then stamped foot as she tried to sort out their own thoughts and emotions tame.

"... could you come with me...?" she asked after a brief and looked at the others. "Your family can go too, but it is rather exclusively for you... definitely something that you know more than me..." she's a little quieter. Her body quivered but again and again she took a step back. "Someone needs help." she said after a moment, almost in a whisper.

The other doe was obviously

The other doe was obviously uncomfortable. Herla did not have might on her side. Those where never her defenses. But a stern gaze with the authority of a mother and a healer where hers. She made no move to make the other at ease as she listened.

“Come with you?” she asked, now she was the one to hesitate. She did not think Quadda would harm or attack her but she was suspicious of the request. She looked over her shoulder, considering retrieving Gehirn as back up. A little muscle never hurt. How dire was this? Did she have time? Herla was a healer and it was her nature to give aid if asked but she wasn’t foolish either. “What’s wrong? Who is it that need’s help?” she asked, stepping forward closer to the doe to see her face more clearly.

Overall, Quadda changed. The

Overall, Quadda changed. The build was the same, the face also, only its symbols and knew they were gone. And her eyes were also the same, just a bit worried and miserable, nothing more else to it was not. "Someone... I do not know what it is... but it just need to try. Whatever... follow me!" Quadda whistled like a little child before it picked up a bit, before turning sharply back legs, div not break a leg in turn and started this long jumps along the way, before she came. Nor did not look back, whether it Herla followed her. She hoped so.

The dark Irish had been

The dark Irish had been pretty focussed on other matters, like the matter of their son at hand, when he noticed Herla was talking to someone. His unfortunate eyesight didn't aid him much in seeing who exactly, but he heard voices clearly. The stag frowned. Well, if she had needed him she would've called. Still..
Gehirn turned to Herla's direction, setting a few heavy footsteps behind her to come closer. "What's the matter Herla?" His deep voice came out of the darkness, still trying to distinguish who she was talking to. A doe, it seemed. The stag frowned when it seemed the other just bounced off telling Herla to follow them. "Pardon me? There was a hint of annoyance now, his gaze turning to his mate for a reaction.
Sighthoundlady's picture

The doe didn’t really give

The doe didn’t really give her an answer she could work with. She frowned in irritation. Would be nice to have a bit more information, she had some supplies with her but not many.

Then Gehirn’s deep voice was heard behind her and she turned to him, “It’s Quadda, she says there is someone who needs help,” she said letting her hesitation color her tone. When she’d turned back, the larger doe had bounded off before she could insist on further clarification. Herla’s frown deepened as the others form receded into the darkness.

Quadda took a few more steps

Quadda took a few more steps before stopping and looking back. "Please, I do not know how long it lasts!" urged her voice from somewhere in the darkness ahead. Was seen only as a silhouette shaking the trees. She was silent, waiting for their response, before turning again. "PLEASE!" shouted at them. Her voice was shaking, almost crying, trying to force one of them to move.

"Aha." He answered dryly,

"Aha." He answered dryly, looking at the shadow in the distance now. "Sounds important, the way they're yelling. Do you want me to come with you? Or we can stay here, of course." The giant seemed pretty unimpressed. Wasn't the first time Herla'd be dragged into something she didn't actually agree to. Herla might've been a healer, but to Gehirn others weren't nearly as important as keeping his family safe. They likely got into the trouble themselves anyway. But he knew Herla, she wasn't one to turn a question like that down so easily.
Sighthoundlady's picture

The urgency in Quadda’s tone

The urgency in Quadda’s tone was not lost on Herla. The feathered doe felt torn as she often did with her desire to help others as was her calling and not stepping into something foolish either.

She looked up at her mate, his indifference evident to her. He would not be the one to chastise her if she chose not to go, that would be her own conscious. But she knew he would be there to back her up should she be stepping into something dangerous. That relieved some of her hesitation somewhat.

”I think I have to follow her at least, see what this might be about,” The flicker of hesitation warring with concern could not be hidden from her eyes, ”Your presence would be appreciated. Thank you.”

The tiny doe stepped out in the direction the other had led, glancing over her shoulder at Gehirn’s larger form before moving forward at a quicker pace to follow in Quadda’s direction, being sure to not out distance The Irish or lose him in the quickly waning light as she moved between the darkened trees.

"Please!" yelled at them

"Please!" yelled at them again. Briefly bucked a sign that have a hurry that she would not last long in place, and if they will be very slow, losing her.

Seeing that Herla moves, jumped down and walked very brisk trot away. Seemed that between her front legs as fast trot, the back has made ??very blunt gallop steps and jumped. Moment looking back or stopping to check the distance. "But hurry! The land is flat and there is only a barrier collapsed leaves, so hurry up!!!" prompted them constantly.
Mis's picture

The giant watched as the

The giant watched as the other ran off again, screaming in the distance. He was in no hurry. He had to snort actually, if it was so bad why hadn't they gone for help earlier? Large steps followed Herla as she made her way over. "So what is the matter here then?" His voice unamused, annoyed. They'd be waisting their time for sure.
Sighthoundlady's picture

Quadda was ahead of them

Quadda was ahead of them urging them to move quicker. Herla could do doubt out run them both, speed being one of her best physical abilities, but then she would loose Gehirn quickly in this darkness and she wasn’t going to let that happen so she moved at a fast clip but making sure her mate was always close. “Yes, we are coming,” she called to the other doe, “I’ve no clue,” she said more quietly to Gehirn, reservations about this situation also plain in her voice.

Quadda is urged the trail,

Quadda is urged the trail, after which she went alone for very often. Along Ruins the trail declined until it started to appear around the young trees. Quadda abruptly stopped and listened and watched their "territory" and apparently looking for something. "Oh no..." she said in a way that only she could hear, and long jumps, she moved to Spring Trees.

Young trees were intertwined in one place so that it almost resembled the roof, and one point was seen as a dark entrance, less than Quadda. She had to bend her head to fit inside. For a moment with those two lost, than came back from her hiding place and waited for it, turning restlessly back to the entrance.
