"...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.

He eyed her curiously as she

He eyed her curiously as she came over with Virgil. The Red had seemed worried about the doe. Gehirn himself, frankly, quickly eyed if Herla seemed alright when they came back. She didn't walk with a limp, or did he spy any blood on her pelt. He let out a long breath of relief as he nuzzled her. "Hello love, how are you today?" He said with a smile directed at the pretty black doe. "You look fine as ever. But I hope you feel so, too." The irish was a little worried, perhaps about yesterday still.

Herla nuzzled the big black

Herla nuzzled the big black stag affectionately, inhaling his scent as she pressed her face into his neck. She always felt safe with him. “Gehirn, it is good to see you.” she said and at his question, she looked up at his concerned face, “I am unharmed, I’m sorry I caused you concern.” she said. “Thank you for your restraint yesterday, Sorog behaves very badly and I know not every stag would tolerate his words. I don’t know why he does what he does.” she said sadly, shaking her head. “I knew a stag like him, he sought out battles until he was finally killed. It pains me greatly to see one take this path. I HAVE to try and help him.” she leaned against the giant Irish, glad of his strength.

The black stag gives her a

The black stag gives her a nod, nuzzling her affectionally. "It is alright. I understand. You knew a stag like that, hm? That's sad. I'm sorry to hear that." He shook his head slightly. Stags like that excisted, he knew all too well. He wasn't one to bother much, really. It was up to them, the strongest one would survive. The strongest one wasn't neccesarily the one that fought the most. "Alright. Just be careful yourself, alright? I will tolerate him for you, but if he touches you or any one of my friends.." His words seemed to get a bit more stern, turning his face towards the small doe. "Then I will not hold back. Even I have my limits, ofcourse. Don't harm yourself whilst helping another, alright?" He would tolerate him for her. What was left for him to do? In the end, he was not one to decide. But he would stand by her if she needed him. Untill she no longer did.

Generally she would have

Generally she would have enjoyed to have Gehirn fight stags for her behalf, she loved a champion. And in the past, she’d been known to instigate a fight to enjoy the effects. Spars where exciting and it was incredibly flattering when the combatants where sparring over her. But Sorog, he needed help. The way he fought was something else. Like a possessed demon, it frightened her greatly. “I’ll be careful Gehirn. Thank you for your restraint. I know it can’t be easy. I would be heartbroken to see you injured as well. I know I have no claim over you and cannot, but my heart does not know that.” she said nuzzling into his neck, she was not over her heartache at finding out he was already mated, but at least she had him as friend and protector. "You must protect yourself if ever it comes to that."

(( Okay this is really weird,

(( Okay this is really weird, there is a nameless deer sitting in front an Gehirn and Herla who is rubbing on a tree like Sorog and is showing up on the map as Sorog, but looks like a nameless deer to me! Is that Sorog or what? ))

(Yup, that'd be him! That is

(Yup, that'd be him! That is so weird... Could just be a small hiccup in the game, or so I hope! =/)

Gehirn quietly listened to

Gehirn quietly listened to her words. A worried doe indeed, this side of her had been exposed to him slowly. He had met her as a flirty doe whom knew her ways. But it seemed she sure worried a lot more than he had first expected her to.
The stag seemed a little suprised at her words, though. Her heart did not know that? Had he been blind to her feelings? Perhaps he wasn't, perhaps he wished he was. As she nuzzled his neck, the stag bowed his head, touching his lips with her forehead briefly. "I am sorry. I did not wish to hurt you, love. I will be here as your friend, and I will protect you if you need me to. But you will find your stag, really." He smiled again. "And he'll chase me away. Perhaps he should anyway, hm? I cannot get to attached to such a sweet doe as yourself. I realized you're not only beautifull, your heart is as well. Ah, now I am simply flattering.." The stag let out a chuckle, his big chest rumbling. "Oh, yes.. Protect myself. Sure, that is fine." He nods. "It's a pity he thinks I meant harm, haha. Perhaps it is my posture.. I am no good with stags, you know." He never had been, he admitted. There were only few stags he let in his company, and it sure took ages for a stag to be able to be admitted onto his trusted list.

(Huh? OH, that was a nameless to me too. ROOOFL. That explains why he rubbed the tree immediatly. We thought it was typical nameless behaivor, sorry Sorog ;_; Now we see him though, wooops. And here we thought to be nice and always greet the nameless)

(Haha, no worries! I just

(Haha, no worries! I just wish I had some kind of indicator that no one else could see him, gah... Ah well, hopefully it was an isolated incident! XD)

Herla teared up at Gehirn’s

Herla teared up at Gehirn’s words. Yes. She should find another stag. But Gehirn would always be special. “You will always be in my heart,” she said, returning his kiss to her forehead with a kiss on his cheek. Sighing, she laid next to him, enjoying the warm sun’s rays. Virgil was close by and Ephire had joined them as well. She always felt safe in their company and was happy to have them all near. Her head resting on Gehirn’s back she dozed, enjoying the feel of the sun on her face.

When she opened her eyes a wedge, she glimpsed Sorog approaching. She tensed. How she hoped he would not be looking for a fight, these were all large stags, and he was still injured. She prayed he would not try to challenge any of them.

((Well at least we didn’t start dancing with the “nameless” that would have been confusing!))

"No, nononono, no tears.

"No, nononono, no tears. Tears are not my speciality." He nudged her gently, his big nose against her cheek. "You should not cry, you will always be in my heart as well. Glad to have met you in the first place." He smiled. "That is enough for me. I have lost many dear to me, and sometimes it is nice to see you're not all lost, when you meet someone new that is also able of stealing a piece of space in your heart. It's atleast less empty, hm?" The giant paused. Even a brute like him, seemed capable of losing, of heartbreak. A rough exterior can in the end not hide everything. "Have no worries. Things always turn out right in the end, you'll see." Gehirn smiled at her, reassuring her. He couldn't see tears, not on those he cared for. It broke him as well.

He had noticed Sorog near, but it did not matter now. Herla was alright and, it was important she'd stay that way. If she wanted to help him, so bet it. He whispered something amongst the lines of "just be careful" In her ear. After that, the giant let his head rest. After a long day, the weight of his antlers could become a bit of a hassle. Even for one carrying them all his life.

(Actually, that would have been the most amazing thing ever!
Geh: Hello Nameless! Let's dance!
Sorog: GET AWAY FROM ME!!
Geh: Oh. It's an angry nameless! Aww give it a hug!
Sorog: AAHRGK.
Yeah. Too much fantasy in this head. Anyway it is time for us to go! See you guys next time! Wohoo! Man it has been warm here today...)

(Mind if I squeeze in a couple of posts? I'm so bored, lol XD)

Sorog had picked up Herla's scent from the Ruins; he knew that scent very well by now. It had brought a smile to his rugged face, as he was not having the best of days as per usual. He had been avoiding confrontations, and intended to until he healed some more. The stag continued to mentally curse himself for throwing himself into a fight with Reed like that, especially with Herla watching. He never thought he'd feel embarrassed or ashamed for engaging in a fight, and yet he did. So strange...

He strolled slowly through the birch forest, following the scent until he found Herla sitting beside Gehirn. Sorog snorted at the sight of the massive stag, and shook the fur on his nape in annoyance. He contemplated walking away, as he did not feel like dealing with Gehirn's high-and-mighty attitude, but he eventually decided to stay. Sighing, he rubbed up against a birch tree several feet away from the stag and doe and then rested at its base, his ears flattened against his skull when he realized that there were quite a few deer in the area. As long as they didn't bother him, he would be fine.

(Rofl, that is hilarious Misako!! Talk about a misunderstanding waiting to happen! XDD Aww, okay~ Take care! <3)
Sighthoundlady's picture

((I lurves Gehirn, he is so,

((I lurves Gehirn, he is so, so sweet! Good night Misako! And oh my gosh that would have hilariously confusing for Sorog if we had all tried to nuzzle and dance with the poor angry nameless. Haha! Now I wonder if this has happened before, some nameless comes up, think we should know them and they just look like a naked deer to us! Though I have been seeing a lot of naked deer with picots, and that always confused me too. Why are they naked? LOL! ))

((And of course you are welcome to join in Uruushou!))

Herla tensely watched Sorog, come closer to the group, then settle next to a tree not far off. She got to her feet whispered into Gehirn’s ear, “I’ll be alright,” and lightly kissed him on the cheek. Glancing nervously around at the surrounding deer, looking in faces for signs of hostility, she slowly turned and walked tentatively towards Sorog. She stopped some distance off, less he not want her to approach, “I pray this day finds you hale,” she said softly by way of greeting, and gave a dow bow.
Uruushou's picture

(Lol, so much confusion and

(Lol, so much confusion and chaos! Come to think of it, I have been seeing quite a few deer running around naked, but they have pictos so they're not nameless. Hm...I wonder if that's the same glitch as well? Good thing I'm getting used to other peoples' pictos! XD)

The stag's eyes flicked toward Reed and Lacie, and he snorted again in contempt. His body still ached from the fight yesterday, but not too much. It could have gone much worse. What was he thinking? He was surprised that Reed wasn't trying to challenge him or chase him away. His ears flicked to the sound of nimble feet approaching, and he turned his head to see Herla standing a little distance off to his side. At the greeting and bow, he blinked, and then smiled gently. "Thank you... I pray that you are well, also," he replied softly, and then inclined his head. "I am sorry if I am disturbing you. I know that Gehirn does not take kindly to me." He gazed over her shoulder toward the Irish, sighing inwardly.

((Sorog totally looked like a

((Sorog totally looked like a nameless deer, naked and no picto. What version are you using if I may ask?))

Herla relaxed at Sorog’s gentle smile. A tentative smile brightening her own face. “I am well. And I am happy to see you. Gehirn wishes only for my safety. There is no fight here.” she said, coming closer to him. She tried to approach him cautiously so that he may move away if he did not want her near. She longed to nuzzle him but she knew he was not always able to bare it. She came closer still. He could reach out to her if he so wanted “Your wounds, how fare they?”
Uruushou's picture

(Whoa, weird! O_O; I am using

(Whoa, weird! O_O; I am using the newest version, but I have never had this problem before. Hm...)

The stag bowed his head slightly, holding back a sigh. "Indeed...he has good intentions. I do not intend to start anything with him," he replied reassuringly, his current well-being aside. The fact that Gehirn believed that he would harm Herla, however, made his fur bristle. He would never forgive the Irish for accusing him of such a thing. Sorog watched Herla passively as she slowly approached, feeling puzzled by the range of emotions in her eyes. He wondered what she was thinking.

When she was close enough, Sorog slowly stood and gingerly sniffed at her crown, the small smile returning. "I am fine, m'lady; they are mere flesh wounds. Thank you for your concern, and for all of your help," he said earnestly, and then paused. A look of uncertainty and nervousness crossed his face for a moment...and then, he gently and briefly nuzzled her and stood in place, not wanting to step back like he usually did.

(Gah, unfortunately I have to get going, but I will reply ASAP! Take care ^_^)

Sorog seemed very calm and

Sorog seemed very calm and measured today. Herla was glad to see him withstanding the presence of so many other stags without feeling the need to challenge. When he stood up and nuzzled her she sighed and leaned into him, burrowing her face into the fur of his neck. How she wanted to show him affection without restraint, but sometimes he reacted like it hurt him. “I am glad you are doing well today. Please, let us enjoy this sunny day, I would sit with you if you would have me.”

((Sure thing PaleDix! I was

((Sure thing PaleDix! I was taking a shower, sorry for the late reply! That's your deer I see that's been keeping Herla company? ))

(yep it is and... no

(yep it is and... no problem)

he had watched her in the little group for a while. pretty she was.
he felt nervousness around the little doe, approached carefully. he could feel the pushing behind his forehead, heard the voice again, the whispering. He didn't realize that those whispered words actually left his mouth.

as the stag moved it looked like a constant, fluent change. as if actors apeared and disappeared on the stage of this body. sometimes nervous, shy almost too embarrassed to look up, then suddenly full of self-confidence, flirty.

"H... hello m'am." his gaze was lowered to the ground. "nice weather we have, right? ohh pretty pretty so alone? uhm my name is dix. come close r come closer ypu pretty you. " the voices changed within one breath. first a tiny shy, young, then a hoarse amorous whisper.

Herla doe bowed graciously

Herla doe bowed graciously when the white pelted deer greeted her, giving him one of her demure looks from behind her feather mantle, peering at him with her scarlet eyes. She became a little concerned though when his polite greeting turned somewhat inappropriate. She’d never met him before and he was acting most peculiar. She took a step back from him noticing for the first time that she was indeed quite alone. All the deer that had been around when she had fallen asleep were now gone. She looked around nervously. “Um, hello.” she said her voice wavering slightly. "I am called Herla. How are you?"

(oh god, i am sorry, now it

(oh god, i am sorry, now it was my turn to take a shower.)

"Hmmm herla. the sound of the wind whispering in the leaves nice to meet you, m' am my... my name is d.. dix." he nodded, his face constantly changeing emotions.

he observed her carerfully. really a pretty doe. small... petite... and beautiful feathers.
the bushing behind his forehead got harder.

"uhm would you mind if... we sit down again sit close to me, pretty pretty." he tilted his head slightly.
Sighthoundlady's picture

Herla smiled at his

Herla smiled at his compliment, he really did sound sincere and polite now. And he was quite handsome, though strange flashes of…something, would cross his eyes. She hesitated at his request to sit with her. Not wanting to be impolite however, she gave a little nod, “Of course,” she said, allowing him to seat himself first so she could sit across from him. She kept herself braced for a quick escape should he make any untoward moves. She was fast when she needed to me. It was her only defense.

he smiled and nodded, then he

he smiled and nodded, then he sat down again, leaving some space himself. he didn't want to step too close.

"you ... you are nice." he smiled. then, while he was still smiling... there was this one last, heavy push.
dix fell asleep. not the body though... the boddy sneezed.

the former flickering of emotions became constant now. the 'actor' that was in the background now, won the stage over.
his eyes, former somewhat small and hastily flickering now seem to be bigger, focused on her. the smile on his face became sly...
"So now my pretty tell me, a doe like you so alone, isn't that dangerous for you?" the stag bent a little forward, tilted his head rose his eyebrows flirtatious...
Sighthoundlady's picture

Herla watched the stag’s face

Herla watched the stag’s face turn from kind and gentle…to what? Flirtatious but also...predatory. She tensed. Alone she thought, I am alone, “But I’m not alone,” she said, feigning nonchalance, “You are here.” she swallowed again. "Right?"

he chuckled and nodded. then

he chuckled and nodded. then slowly... inch by inch... he crept closer. not too much though. it almost seemed like cooincidence.

"Oh, right. right. and.... it would be a sacrilege if a stag like me wouldn't be ready to protect beauty like you, right? oh, you." he blinked after the last words, spoken in a deeper voice all of the sudden, with a proud look on his face... he seemed to be irritated for a moment, then he smiled at her again.

"herla, pretty ebony angel, would you tell me a bit about you? i want to get to know you better. oh please." of course he was not really interested in this doe... he was just... hunting hearts. And with another movement he crept closer.


(sh... sorry have to leave now... i fear i have to reply tomorrow again.... sorrysorry >< )

Herla was growing

Herla was growing increasingly uncomfortable around this stag. Something was off about him. And he was suddenly awfully close to her, how had he moved so close without her noticing? “Any true gentleman would of course assist any lady in need,” she said nodding, “You must agree that is the right and proper way of things.” She ducked bashfully at his compliments and insistence that she tell him more of herself. She gave him her trademark demure look from behind the feathers of her fan. “There is nothing so awfully interesting about me, I am just a small doe who enjoys the company of a gentleman. One who knows how to treat a lady.” she said, a bit of flirtatiousness coloring her speech. His eyes were quite beguiling.

((Okay, no problem! Thanks for RPing, I'm eager to see where this goes!))
Uruushou's picture

(Eep...so sorry about the

(Eep...so sorry about the massive delay, lol. I hope you don't mind me responding after you had a little RP with someone else; I'll just tie in the previous interaction with this reply. c8)

He was unusually calm, yes, but mostly because he knew he needed to take it easy for a while. The presence of all of the other deer didn't help settle his nerves, but with Herla nearby he instantly felt reassured. The stag smiled inwardly when she nuzzled her face against his neck, and he closed his eyes with a small sigh. So gentle, so timid... Sorog gazed at the petite doe when she spoke, his smile never fading. It was a rare gesture for him, but he was happy to share it with her.

"I could never say no to your company, sweet one," he replied softly, and then with a gentle nod of indication he sat beside the base of the tree with her. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, closing his eyes once more as he focused on the sounds and scents of the forest rather than the other stags around him. For the first time in quite a while, he felt the beginnings of neutrality.

"Of course it is the right

"Of course it is the right way of things " he nodded.

His eyebrows twitched up as he noticed her mysterious look from behind her feathers again. A truely powerful gesture... at least to a weak mind like the one that was currently in controll. He chuckled once more.

"Well, your lucky day, herla my ebony angel, of course we know how to treat a lady oh you fool you know nothing did I say 'we'? I ment... 'I' of course" the look on his face twitched again as the voices changed... obviously he tried his best to cover those minor changes up.
"So my ebony angel, what can i do for you?"
Sighthoundlady's picture

((Hey, sorry for the delay

((Hey, sorry for the delay here, just got home from work!))

Uruushou: ((Sorog is being so mature! How long will it last? Hah! Do you mind if we put this one to rest and see what new interest stirs up? Eye ))

PaleDix: Herla was confused by the white stag’s shifts in tone and expression. But overall he seemed to be her favorite type of stag. The accommodating type. She smiled warmly at him. “Oh, your company is quite enough really, thank you. I’m always in need of a big strong stag to keep a look out for little ‘ole me, make sure no big nasties get me. You know?” she gave her sweetest look from behind her feather fan.
Uruushou's picture

(Haha! Well, he is really

(Haha! Well, he is really only so calm around Herla, unless a stag gets in his face while she's near. He's starting to feel protective over her, so his behavior may become a little undesirable, lol XD Oh yes, no worries at all! I just wanted to add in the closing post to tie things in~ 83)

(( Sounds good, sounds good.

(( Sounds good, sounds good. Herla is sitting with a group of deer near the Playground, the big grey stag with zombie antlers is Faustt's Morikiah, the other deer, not sure yet who they are, map isn't helping! I'll be in making dinner so pauses may be long. ))

Silently the glowing white

Silently the glowing white stag like creature would make his way along the area. He was still learning about this place, and upon seeing any sort of violence... had quickly made himself scarce from the scene. Indeed a true coward at heart, only valuing his own well being and life over anyone elses. Sighing some the albino, peacock like stag made his way around the rocks. Long, elegant tail feathers slowly dragging behind him... red eyes on them seeming to be a different thing all together.

His attention turned to the large boulders as he walked around carefully before jumping up and landing gracefully on the small bridge like rock there walking up it. He saw others gathered, but not nearly as many as in other parts of this... strange place. Shaking his head for a moment he just observed from the distance, curious but not willing to risk his safety by going any closer. Watch and observe... that's what he often did.


(( XD Sorry for the confusion with Herla, Shen is currently borrowing Nightmare's picto for the time being *nods* He's the Devout/Secretary/Peacock stag *nods* Came to observe and watch >3> ))

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"

((Aww, so that’s who that is!

((Aww, so that’s who that is! I was having a hard time tracking it down from the map. Cool looking character! Well he arrived in plenty of time for drama. Sorog was getting in another fight over deer coming too close to Herla, Leviathin was getting in Sorog’s face and taunting him. And Herla was trying to protect and herd little tiny Ciel away from the chaos! ))

[[ Hehehe I saw, I saw XD Shen was getting ready to run at the slightest hint of any of it coming towards where he was perched XD He's quite the coward by nature so fights tend to get him a bit... flighty. He may be smart and cunning, but he's not going to risk himself getting involved in things LOL! He'll probably be observing around for awhile, taking in things... Mr. Coward Bird xD

Edit: XD Sorry about Shen's little... scaredy cat self. When they kept poofing back and forth between sets he was getting a bit freaked out by it XD He's still getting a bit used to the forest and all XD ]]

Oh this look. This little doe

Oh this look. This little doe knew how to use gestures to impress a stag. He could learn a lot from her...
...maybe he could observe the one or the other trick from her.

He chuckled "Hm my ebony angel, I guess there are a lot of stags there for you, protecting you. I would be surprised if not."

@PaleDix: “I am most

@PaleDix: “I am most fortunate to be acquainted with some very gentlemanly stags, this is true,” she said nodding elegantly. “Thank you for keeping me company.”
