Nooo, I never did anything with the flock before. I got interested in 'em when you were talking about it on LiveStream.

A general PM to all members wouldn't be a bad idea. I know I know need a kick in the rear where plots are concerned sometimes and don't mind a PM.
xD And I still have to fill out that dang form even though I compiled that list.
And about a mass escape plot...once Hoto is finally in and his breeding with Suria is done...he will want out. Hoto has a human companion. Hoto's human companion is his fellow warrior and will try to save him. I'm more than willing to create a human and Soquili army to save Hoto. Who's to say a few other males wouldn't escape too?

I'll fill out that form soon.
I didn't really realize that I could do back-dated Harpie RP with Semuan-Ya. I need to check that out though, since she wasn't mine when she was in the flock.
*makes note to go and look and see if dawn rp'ed any flock stuff*
Also, I'm not sure timeline wise...when she left, I mean plot wise. I think she left in the summer of last year. I got her in November, so not quite sure.

The "Mass Escape" One actually already happened, and cannot be backdated for Hoto, since Suria was born and placed in the basket that day. However small escapes can happen and be figured out plotwise. We'll have to work with you on getting him an out.
And yeah! You can do backdated Harpy RP with Semuan -- I know she fought with Zahraa' (owned by Beejoux) before they moved to the current territory, since I remember RPing with Cabriole Tending Zahraa's wounds.

Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, flow sister~ Name: ~Kiana_Nala~ Soquili's name & cert: Claudine Reason for joining: Claudine has recently hit a huge snare in her life. She killed another soquili (actually someone else did, but she has taken the most pain from it because she led them to the other soquili [who was a skinwalker]). So now she is just wandering around aimlessly, trying to figure out how to right her wrong. That is where she stumbles upon the Harpies. Claudine decided to join up with them upon meeting (someone?) and hearing more about the flock and what they do. Claudine is a very manipulative mare, who does have some good in her.... Somewhere. >...> She once was evil and at this point I don't know if she still will be after everything that happened that lead her here. She would fit best in a role where she could be more in charge as she is not much of a follower. IC reason for joining: Well I've been hoping for a male so I could make him join up with the Harpies, however, the gods have not blessed me with one yet. xD So I figured Claudine would probably be the best mare to fit in. Now I'm not sure how long she will stay, ect. I would idealy like for her to find a lifemate who leads her off, but if that does not happen within the next couple months, she will probably (willingly) help the harpies increase their numbers (if that's what you/everyone else want(s)). Although, I am still holding out hope that if she does get a lifemate that they will have boys I can send your way. xD Desired rank and reason: Based on her personality, I think she would fit best in the following roles: Commander Head Guard Head Huntress Guard Huntress Nanny (because she could surely teach the males how to mind and the females to be strong and manipulative like her) xD But I would like to go off of your needs plot wise. :} AIM?: KianaNala16 Do you acknowledge that you understand the Flock's practices?: Yes! :] I'd be willing to talk this over more on AIM as well. biggrin

Entirely not what I meant. The plot I would like to do would be an entirely different escape. And I've been lurking for years Mind, I know my Soq. xD
The plot I would like to suggest and work on making happen would involve a small to large group of humans and possibly their bonded soquili to infiltrate or attack the flock and free Hoto. My suggestion was that they could free more than one male. But I'm more than okay with it being a sneaky rescue mission of just him.

@Kiana: Talking to Dragain, it seems that Claudine really doesn't fit: The Flock isn't evil, or really overly manipulative. Harpies try to avoid unstable and evil minded mares. Their culture may make what they do questionable shades of grey at times, but its simply because of their mindset: Mainly that men are corrupt creatures by nature, especially if they are outsiders, but are a necessary addition to the Flock for their survival. So they capture males and keep them so they can relax and live a "Proper" life, and only breed with them if they are willing.
So... We don't really think Claudine would fit in. Especially since for the most part there is very little leading, but rather team work -- the few leader spots are already taken, it wouldn't really fit with her personality and she'd likely not get passed the trial period and would be peacefully escorted out of their territory.
However! Do not think this is a stamp of "NO YOU CANNOT EVER EVER EVER ENTER THE FLOCK" but rather a case of "Ehhh This character really wouldn't be fully accepted by the flock or allowed in their territory for long."
Feel free to try again in the future: Either if she develops to find that good in her heart but understands the shades of grey of the flock as time goes on, or when she has a child, male or female, that'd fit in a little better.
@Teh_Sil: Look forward to seeing that form o3o
@Teh Roarie: Oooh! Derp, I thought you meant The original mass escape since I had mentioned it earlier, not a big, new escape plot. If a few males join up and escape with him or in the chaos, that'd be fine, I'd THINK... But the just going in and out would be good too
I'll have to chat with Dragain to see how the Queen would respond, since the flock prefers to avoid human contact in general, since humans might take ropes and try to round up some of the stallions not trying to escape and possibly even try to steal some of their clawless sisters or even foals in general (Since they wouldn't be able to understand necessarily that the clawless ones are still a willing part of the herd, and they might want a clawed steed) and have weapons that could take harpies down from a distance despite their soft and squishy bodies. The occasional harpy might raid an abandoned wigwam for materials, or poke their head into a teepee out of curiosity (And they usually get scolded by older harpies for messing with occupied human homes, since they CAN gather more to fight them)

Ok, chatted with Dragain about the Humans... She'd prefer no-humans if at all possible in a big plotline like that. At least not in that number -- they'd have to fight their whole way in, and the whole way out if they came in force.
It'd be better if Hoto's human came in alone, and used craftiness to sneak in. However once he reaches the central safezone at the heart of flock, he'll be under attack by the majority of the flock... UNLESS he managed to misdirect their main forces, leaving only a few to guard the males.
I had an idea that could prove a good middle ground!
Perhaps he could start a fire upwind of the flock -- just a small one in a few spots -- so they have to go and try and put it out while its still young. The majority would move to put them out, the stinging smoke impairing their visions and senses of smell. He'd have an easier time sneaking in and evading them, since they'd be unable to take to the trees as much since smoke rises so would be slowed slightly in the chase, and there'd only be a few open to chase while the others are guarding, protecting the children, or putting out the fires.
A few males who want to escape might be able to use this weakening as a method out and follow Hoto and his Native, or split up so they have even fewer capable of giving chase on an individual basis.

It's funny you mention humans stealing/releasing the others when this is a point of view I had not thought of. Maybe because the human I had wanted to involve in the plot would never think of such a thing. Granted harpies are scary bird women but I would think it would be like attacking a kalona herd. Potentially fatal, requiring great finesses and you better get what you need and leave as soon as possible. You wouldn't want to upset a kalona mother and her young, why would you want to upset a harpy?
Not to say that I don't like the suggested plot and can't work it. It actually works quite well with the personality and background of my character. And it would be easier on me. And if there were males who wanted out, Hoto would be more than willing to lead the charge and help. Though I don't think he'd be willing to risk life and limb. He wants out, if no one gets out but him he's not going to sweat it.
