"...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.

The young doe peeked through

The young doe peeked through her red hooves up at the feathered doe. "Y-Yes, miss. I'm Kloyn," she said softly, slowly rising while her little knees knocked. The white fawn gave her a timid bow.

“It’s nice to meet you

“It’s nice to meet you Kloyn,” the doe raised her head and briefly looked around when she heard a twig snap. Her ears swiveled a moment before she returned her attention the fawn, “You should be careful of the pond, it’s not always safe,” she warned.

"Nice to me you too, miss,"

"Nice to me you too, miss," she said. She looked back at the pond and saw the little koi that nipped her. She nodded in agreement, "Those fishes are really scary." Her knees began to knock again at the thought of drinking from there again.

Herla’s glance flickered to

Herla’s glance flickered to the koi that swam under the lily pads, “Those? They won’t hurt you, but other things might,” she couldn’t help a chuckle. The doe began to leave, heading for the bridge, the fawn could follow if it wanted too.

"What do you mean 'other

"What do you mean 'other things'?" Her legs wobbled as she followed the doe. She gulped at the thought of something bigger or scarier than a koi fish.

(And 3 million years later, I

(And 3 million years later, I reply! )

Herla didn’t walk fast, her movement was slow and considered, determined to appear dignified even when not feeling her best. She peered back at the fawn as he followed, pausing a moment at his question, he looked scared. Something she thought was probably for the best really. The dangers where real. “Monsters,” she told him easily enough, “Plenty of those. Plenty of nice creatures though too. Just have to be careful,” she said as she made her way over the bridge, the sound of her dainty blue hooves ringing out on the stones.

OOC: It's okay! And Kloyn

OOC: It's okay! Laughing out loud And Kloyn is a she. Eye

She nodded. "Are there a lot of monsters in the forest?" she asked. She followed the doe across the bridge. She liked the way the smooth stone sounded as she walked across them. Click, click, click!

Hello c: My Jacob`s been

Hello c:

My Jacob`s been seeing Herla a lot in forest lately; I was wondering if I could rp him with her? I understand she`s feeling ill from her pregnancy, so if she can`t interact with him, it`s fine. Smiling

I have to admit, I don’t

I have to admit, I don’t really recall meeting Jacob before with Herla but I’m not always paying attention unfortunately. But sure, you can RP, I may be slow at times though. And I tend to randomly loose muse. Like a chump.

"Herla..." the feline address

"Herla..." the feline address her hesitantly, not entirely sure how to begin.
"I wanted to offer something more than just simple words, but... well, the gift you gave me - it meant a lot to me.. especially at that kind of time." she obviously wasn't the best with words today, "I know it's late, but I just wanted to say thank you. You have a kind heart, Herla. I admire that."

--
Doesn't require a response unless you want to, just wanted to leave this here before I go.
Anyway, thanks for the company. Didn't expect to see her, was a nice surprise. :>

Hm, Hello Herla (Is it ok if I call you that? XD)
I'd like to interact/RP with Your Doe, with my Doe. Trinity.

If, that's ok.

Sapphire: Ruby eyes lifted to

Sapphire:
Ruby eyes lifted to the maskless face of the feline doe. Herla had a hard time knowing what to do when thanks were offered for doing something she had just felt was the right thing to do. ‘It was nothing’ almost fell from her lips but that seemed inappropriate to her own efforts and to the thanks expressed by the feline doe. Disrespectful to them both, so she nodded and inclined her head, “Your welcome.”

MapleTree:
Well, actually I’m not Herla, I’m Herla’s player. Most here call me Sight. Herla is my character, her thoughts and actions are not always mine. Which is important to understand since she isn’t ALWAYS nice. But if you think you’d like to RP your character here then that’s fine. Again, I’m slow and not always quick to respond.

Alani approached the

Alani approached the feathered doe slowly, carrying a root of some sort in her mouth. Sitting down beside the doe, she placed the root before her.
”Here, perhaps this will help. It’s ginger”
Alani had noticed the doe seemed ill the past few times she had seen her. Just recently she noticed the feathered doe’s stomach had protruded out ever so slightly. Maybe she was pregnant? That would explain the sickness.
Alani herself was definitely no medicine deer, but another had given her ginger to gnaw on once when she was sick and it had helped. She also heard that ginger was good for morning sickness. Regardless, the orange doe wanted to do something to help this one that had been so polite to her.

You don't have to answer or anything, she just felt like doing something for Herla ^^

Ah no, it`s fine. I tend to do the same thing. Thank you! c:

The pond water abruptly shifted, rippling under the presence of a rather tiny hoof. The small, golden brown fawn stared at the ripples, wondering yet again how it did such a thing. For a young, inquisitive mind such as his, the possibilities seemed limitless.

The young fawn glanced around, his blue eyes wide with energy. Were any of his friends around? Mama or Papa? No, they didn`t seem to be...

The fawn gave a little pout. No one to play with... His ears hanging low, the fawn turned around to set off for home. Maybe he`d find Mama and Papa there.

As he took the first few steps, however, a sudden flash of color made its way into his vision. The fawn tilted his head, spotting a blue and grey deer not far away. She didn`t seem to be with anyone. The fawn trotted over carefully. He didn`t want to get the other deer mad at him- it had happened before, at the big fight. Bending his head in an awkward half-bow-the fawn wasn`t so great at a full bow yet- he spoke shyly.

"H-Hi there. My name`s Jacob."

Sorry for the long post |D

((I’m so behind on everything

((I’m so behind on everything around here, many apologies. ))


riddledrhyme:
Herla sat huddled in one of her favored sun spots when she’d seen the little orange doe approaching, lifting her head to offer a smile. Brows rose with surprise when the familiar brown lumpy root was placed before her. Ginger root. Of course she was well acquainted with it and could never use enough of it, especially now. Touching her nose to it, she inhaled, the smell alone a soothing thing to a queasy stomach. She thought to perhaps be a bit embarrassed her state was that obvious but over time it just didn’t seem to matter to her as much any more. “Thank you, this is very kind,” she said, lifting her ruby gaze to the other again, her gratitude for the kindness touching her eyes, “Do you know of plant’s then too?” she asked, inviting the other to sit with her in the sun. The gentle company of another doe pretty welcome at this moment.

Poppyflower :
A small black doe stood bent over a bit of upturned earth, digging gently with one dainty hoof to reveal a root sprouting with young green shoots. Placing this in a basket beside her, she turned to dig again when a flash of gold caught her eye, a small fawn trotting up to her and shyly introducing himself. Her glance went around but she didn’t spot any guardians. So many little children running around with out parents in this forest. Tilting her head she smiled at him though, “Hello Jacob, I’m Herla,” she introduced, picking up her basket and walking over to another patch of the green shoots and digging carefully again. He could follow her if he liked, she wouldn’t mind.

Sorry, for being so late! xD

Sorry, for being so late! xD I never thought to check until now! LOL. ))

A doe walked around. Her appearance was of a Noh pelt, antlers, with orange candles. She dipped her head to munch on some greens, before taking the small weaved pouch she got and began to pick flowers. The doe gently placed them inside of the pouch, and walked around to find more; since she picked all of the remaining flowers already. Her head wasn't all low, but low enough to not be paying attention to her front surroundings. The doe felt a small jolt and a thud, a bump following. She cringed, and looked up. She saw that a tip of her feminine candle covered antlers had poked... a doe's rump. The doe gasped, and flattened her ears. "Ah! I'm terribly sorry! I can heal that for you, you uh... rear. I'm sorry for poking it with my... antlers," some would say antlers should never be on a doe, but that's how it is for her. Only, they're more female like, not huge as the male's.

She was still cringing, and hoped the stranger wouldn't be too angry or hurt.

The orange doe’s eyes lit up

The orange doe’s eyes lit up with the grateful response of the feathered doe, “You are very welcome, Miss.”
Alani was glad to nestle down in the sun beside the doe. Though, when she asked about plants, the orange doe’s ears flicked back and she replied almost sheepishly, “No, I’m afraid I don’t. I only know about ginger because a friend gave it to me once when I sick.” The doe cast a sidelong glance at the one beside her with a bit of worry. Did the doe need other plants or remedies to help? “Though, I wish I did.”

Sighthoundlady's picture

MapleTree: Herla let out a

MapleTree:
Herla let out a yelp and bolted forward a few steps when the other deer had jabbed her quite hard on the bum. Turning a scowl on the other doe, her ears pinned to her neck and her feathers flattened out. She did not appear very forgiving, that had hurt and being jostled by clumsy deer didn’t do much to win her good graces either. Being sick and pregnant made her especially unforgiving. “No I don’t need you to heal me, just stay away from any part of me thank you very much,” she frowned at the doe’s antlers. Candles even. Had the hair on her rump been singed too? Glancing at her tail, her displeasure only grew. “Watch where you’re going next time,” this whole big forest and deer where running into her? Really?

riddledrhyme:
Ears perked forward with interest as the other sat, “Ah, I see,” perhaps just a tiny bit of disappointment showed on her face. There were not a lot of medicine deer in the forest, Herla would have liked to know more, perhaps someone she could send patients too when she was too ill to care for them herself. The expression was but a flicker though and she smiled graciously, “Well your friend knows well, ginger is excellent for a disturbed stomach,” her own eyes down cast when she noted the worry on the other’s features, “This will help a lot,” she reassured, touched a doe she did not know that well would be so observant and kind, but a bit embarrassed as well, “Thank you again…Alani, isn’t it? I’m Herla,” she didn’t think they’d ever been formally introduced before, “You are interested in plants though?”

Jacob smiled slightly. "Hi,

Jacob smiled slightly. "Hi, Herla!" Feeling a little less shy now, the fawn gazed at the plants that the doe was digging up. "What are you doing?" He asked, head tilted in curiosity. The fawn trotted quickly after the doe, not wanting to be left behind.

Alani’s ears pricked towards

Alani’s ears pricked towards the doe, catching the faint disappointment, but didn’t ponder on it since it seemed to be gone in another instant. When the doe mentioned ginger and its use she cocked her head to the side just slightly. This doe seemed to know at least something about remedies.
“Oh yes, It’s Alani. And thank you for being so polite and kind to a stranger, Herla.” Although Alani was quite content to sit with anyone who would merely tolerate her, she found Herla’s polite greetings and invitations to sit quite refreshing from the rudeness some others showed towards her.

Plants.. Alani did wish she knew more about them, especially their healing benefits. More often than not, she found herself wishing she had a way to help those around her who seemed to become so frequently injured. Quite obviously, brute strength would never be the answer for her; she was too frail and unequipped to fight. Just maybe, if she could help through the use of plants and remedies, she would be able to do more for others than just be peaceable company.
She nodded sharply once, ears perked, “Yes, quite interested”

OOC: You haven't replied to

OOC: You haven't replied to my last response. Eye

The doe wanted to saw off her

The doe wanted to saw off her antlers then and there, she was so STUPID! "I- I- I'm terribly, terribly sorry, stranger." she was breathing a bit quicker also. Th doe did not wish to be so clumsy, and be so blind to look up of what was in front of her. This would have never happened if she /did/ watch where she was going.
Sighthoundlady's picture

Poppyflower: The fawn

Poppyflower:
The fawn followed and Herla continued here work, “I’m collecting plants,” she answered him not stopping her activity as she explained, “To be used for medicines. And cooking. These are spring onions,” she paused showing him one of the white bulbs with the long hallow green shoots sprouting from them, “They have a very nice flavor and are also good for the blood, especially for older deer,” these would go into a stew that night.

riddledrhyme;
Herla dipped her head at the other does’ thanks, “Your welcome, polite company isn’t always easy to find around here, I know,” she appraised the doe momentarily, she knew how difficult it could be to get by in this forest for a young small female like Alani. She’d been there once too. Noticed how she cared for wayward fawns too.

Herla’s ears perked in interest, “Are you? That’s wonderful, I like plant’s quite a lot as well, I’m a medicine doe. I haven’t been out gathering as much as I usually would with the new spring growth,” she’d been too sick, but she didn’t say that, “If you’d like to come next time I do though, you are welcome to accompany me. Company and assistance is rarely refused.”

((Also riddledrhyme, I sent you a Skype invite, don't know if it went through? ))

NikaGika:
Sorry about that, think I’m outta muse on that one. Sad

MapleTree:
Herla just frowned, a scowl upon her brow, “Yes, okay,” but it was clear her bad temper hadn’t improved much. Her rump still hurt from being jabbed. Maybe she would be in a kinder mood when it stopped hurting. Maybe not. “Good bye then, “ and she turned to walk off.

Alani nodded, it was hard to

Alani nodded, it was hard to find polite company in this forest. Everyone appeared had their own agenda, their own groups, their own lives in which they seemed quite content to never allow a new face in. Though, as was made clear by this feathered doe, there were a few, friendly exceptions.

The doe’s head cocked slightly, her eyes lighting up. This was a medicine doe?
Alani smiled brightly and dipped her head, the appreciation clear in her voice, “I would be honored to accompany you and help in whatever way I can, thank you. I have always had a desire to learn about medicinal plants.”


(Got it, and accepted ^^)

"Bye," the doe whispered. She

"Bye," the doe whispered. She was so aggrivated of her antlers. She began to hit her antlers on a tree. 'Oh whoa' she groaned. The world spung in circles. She was dizzy, but it didn't stop her. She kept hitting her antlers until she heard a crack. "OK, I'll wait." Trinity said, and antler "Natural Removing" was coming soon, anways.

Yes, sorry, Red Raptor. Herla is a character and right now she is sick and pregnant and worried about her injured son. She isn’t friendly to strange deer coming close.

Red Raptor, I am not Herla. Sad

Herla is a character. I’m not her. Most here call me Sight.

Herla has never met Rouda before. She doesn’t read biographies on the community. And likely, neither does Rouda. Not if she is in character. A character only knows what they have experienced themselves.
