Nruff and Nelly + Friends!

Living in such a big forest, there's lots of tales to share about our adventures in Dreamland, plus our friendships with the other animals here in the outdoors! Just ask us, Nruff and Nelly! -- Mod/Artist: LarkDiet Co-Mod: Sappfire

((After a long 6-month hiatus, Big Forest Boars is now officially in retirement. This being my very first ask blog, I'm a little sad to see it go, but I thank the 50 followers here for their support while it was still active. uvu The blog will remain up indefinitely for anyone who wants to take a last (and hopefully not sorrowful, because I'll find anyone who mourns this blog's death and I'll slap them with a happy fish— *cough*) glance through all the old posts.

There are more adventures going on over at Ask Ero and Ask Niche, and even more to come, so keep track of my main blog! Once again, thank you for visiting the Big Forest! Maybe sometime in the future, the boars will come back for some more fun...))

((At least Nelly's still got the right attitude.))

Nruff: ...Somebody should tell the manager about those trampoline hazards. Hopefully, my paycheck's not going to be held responsible to pay for the damages.

  “I’ve got plenty!” Nelly happily squeals, looking through his collection as they travel through the forest. “This one’s a Tookey…and that one’s a raindrop…and that one looks exactly like a rock!”

“Eh, who?” Nruff approaches the bush to get a better look. “Oh, you mean Grizzo? Yeah, he’s friendly!” He trots over to the bear. “Oy, Grizzo! Are you busy? We need your help looking for this fellow’s backpack. Have you seen it recently?”

Grizzo stops eating and turns his head around to the group, a slight expression of fear on his face. “U-um, backpack?” He hides something further behind his large body. “Ummm…n-nope, haven’t seen it, haven’t seen nothing.” The bear nervously turns back to his meal, keeping an eye on the boars while he takes another bite.

“Wait, what is he doing…?” Chris goes back to the bush and sees the Grizzo eating his backpack. “NO!” He jumps into the bush, gets on the ground, and picks up the remains of what was his backpack. “DANG!” He empties what remains in the bag: some paper and pencils, empty candy wrappers, black markers, his rain boots, and a spare leather jacket. He gives a sigh of relief.

“Whew… At least none of this stuff was damaged…” He looks again, and eyes the Grizzo. “Did you eat all my candy…?”

He facenubs. “Man, it took me forever to earn all that candy…” Then, he stands up and talks to Nruff. “Do you know of anything around here I could use to carry this stuff until I get a new pack?”

[ask-big-forest-boars-blog]

Grizzo's mouth quivers, then he breaks out into a roaring bawl. "Raaah, I'm sorry! I-I just, I had my own food to eat, but then Galbel took it, and he wouldn't share, and so I was hungry, and I smelled something good here, and—" He descends into an unintelligible babble, slumping to the forest floor.

Nruff glances around, then spots a plant with rather large leaves. He scuttles over to it and tugs out a leaf, then grabs a nearby stick and heads back to Chris. "How about this? You can wrap your belongings in the leaf, then tie it to the stick to make a bindle."

  Nruff idly digs at the ground, thinking. “A yellow backpack…no, I don’t believe we spotted anything like that around here. There’s a good chance Coo or one of the other animals might’ve picked it up, though. I can lead you around to ask them, if you wish.”

Nelly responds, “They’ve all got cool shapes that remind me of stuff, so I wanna bring ‘em home to Acore for decoratings! That one in your hand — it sorta looks like a cloud, doesn’t it?” He separates another stone from the pile. “And this one almost looks like a tree! Pretty neat, huh?”

[yates170-blog]

“Oh, that’d be great! Thanks!”

Chris looks at the rock in his nub and the one Nelly took out. “Yeah… I guess they are! These are pretty cool. You got more of these?”

Chris starts walking with the boars, searching every bush or so often. He sees one rustling along the way, and his curiosity gets the best of him. He opens the bush and sees a bear eating something. He backs off slowly to Nruff. “Hey, is that guy your friend?”

[ask-big-forest-boars-blog]

"I've got plenty!" Nelly happily squeals, looking through his collection as they travel through the forest. "This one's a Tookey...and that one's a raindrop...and that one looks exactly like a rock!"

"Eh, who?" Nruff approaches the bush to get a better look. "Oh, you mean Grizzo? Yeah, he's friendly!" He trots over to the bear. "Oy, Grizzo! Are you busy? We need your help looking for this fellow's backpack. Have you seen it recently?"

Grizzo stops eating and turns his head around to the group, a slight expression of fear on his face. "U-um, backpack?" He hides something further behind his large body.

  “W-well, a poacher— ah, nevermind about it,” Nruff replies. “Clearly, you don’t mean any harm. And unless what you’re looking for is a fruit or a rock, I’m afraid we don’t have what you’re looking for.”

Nelly comes running up with his bag of rocks. He skids to a stop barely before colliding into Nruff, and out of breath, he cheerfully pants, “H-hi there! My name’s…Nelly…y-you wanna…see my rocks?” The boar takes his bag and spills its contents out onto the ground.

[yates170-blog]

“Oh, um…” Chris looks at the rocks weirdly. “Those are… Cool, I guess?”  He looks back to Nruff. “So, you don’t know where it is? Like, did you see a yellow backpack when you were getting this stuff?”

He looks to Nelly. “Why are you collecting these rocks, anyways?” He bends down and picks one up. “Are they special in some sorta way?”

[ask-big-forest-boars-blog]

Nruff idly digs at the ground, thinking. "A yellow backpack...no, I don't believe we spotted anything like that around here. There's a good chance Coo or one of the other animals might've picked it up, though. I can lead you around to ask them, if you wish."

Around the edge of the Big Forest, Nruff and Nelly trot down a grassy path. Each boar carries a small, shabby bag in their jaws, containing materials that they’ve picked up along their scavenger trip; Nruff’s bag is filled with a healthy variety of berries and apples, while Nelly is struggling to…

Chris was walking around the forest, trying to look where he left pack. “C’mon, it’s gotta be somewhere around here…” Looking through bushes, in trees, by the river, but to no luck. He was just about to give up when he heard the boar call out to him. “Huh?  Who is that?”

Chris walks in the the direction of the boar. “Um… No… At least, I don’t thimk so…” He pauses. “What’s a poacher?”

He spies the bags in their mouths. “Hey, ehatacha got in there? I’ve been looking for something, but did yo fiind it?

"W-well, a poacher— ah, nevermind about it," Nruff replies. "Clearly, you don't mean any harm. And unless what you're looking for is a fruit or a rock, I'm afraid we don't have what you're looking for."

Around the edge of the Big Forest, Nruff and Nelly trot down a grassy path. Each boar carries a small, shabby bag in their jaws, containing materials that they've picked up along their scavenger trip; Nruff's bag is filled with a healthy variety of berries and apples, while Nelly is struggling to drag along his collection of uncommonly-shaped rocks.

"I told you picking up all those pebbles were going to weigh you down!" Nruff calls out to the younger boar a few meters behind him. Shaking his head, he turns around — and stops when he sees the puffball wandering nearby.

"Hm?" Nruff puts down his parcel and scuttles towards the visitor. "Hello there? Who are you? Hopefully not some poacher, I presume?"

[ask-big-forest-boars-blog]

Nruff: Oh, well. If it makes us breadwinners, then I guess it's a job worth taking...no matter how unethical it is.

((This will be a 5-post M!A! 4 remaining!))

((And the forest lives again! ouo Heyos!))

Are you still alive?

((Yes, I'm still alive! :V Mun's just been busy lately, but there'll likely be an update here this weekend.))

HEY GUYS

YOU SEE THIS EXTREMELY CHARMING MOUSE?

THIS IS SAPPFIRE.

HE CO-MODS MOST OF MY BLOGS, INCLUDING THIS ONE, AND HAS HIS OWN BLOG HERE.

HE’S QUIRKY, COMPASSIONATE, AND A SUPER-GREAT FRIEND.

THESE BLOGS AND THE OTHERS I RUN WOULD NOT EXIST IF IT WEREN’T FOR HIM.

AND THOUGH HE FEELS LIKE HE’S NOT ACCEPTED IN THIS FANDOM, I KNOW IT’S JUST BECAUSE HE HASN’T BEEN ABLE TO INTERACT WITH EVERYONE TOO EASILY/OFTEN, AND I WISH TO CHANGE THAT.

SO IF YOU ARE WILLING TO MAKE THE EXTREMELY CHARMING MOUSE PORTRAYED ABOVE FEEL MORE AT HOME HERE, PLEASE REBLOG THIS POST SO HE CAN SEE THAT PEOPLE REALLY CARE ABOUT HIM.

Coo: Perhaps one of the other animals felled it for home-building...but that tree was huge! Who could've had the strength to carry it away so quickly?

[ask-big-forest-boars-blog]

Nruff: I'm going to have to get rid of these goggles, or return them to whoever gave them to Nelly. I knew he'd get in trouble with them sooner or later if he wasn't supervised!

[ask-big-forest-boars-blog]

Nruff: I don't know what it is about those goggles, but seems to make him a lot more...loopier. Also, we don't even have bathrooms in the forest! We mainly just do our business anyplace discreet-- *calling out to Nelly* Oy, Nelly! What in Nova's name are you doing with that dirt? It's not food!

[ask-big-forest-boars-blog]

Nruff: Go ahead and take as much as you want! This forest's soil is fertile enough to fill every creature's belly!
