...for Halloween!
Rire as Karuna, Karuna as Rire, and Ravus as the Geisha~

Lmao. I was watching TV when

Lmao.

I was watching TV when Rire first started spellspamming and I thought, "Hm, I wonder what he's up to!" When Rire became Karuna and Karuna became Rire I thought, "Ha! Now Ravus is safe, there's no one left for her to become."

Then one of them casted the butterfly pelt and I knew where that was going. xD You can't plan stuff like this. xD

Rofl. Originally, Rire was going to switch Ravus and Karuna's pelts and masks. Then Karuna woke up, so he was going to make Karuna Ravus, Ravus himself, and be Karuna after he got hit with a realdeer pelt, but Karuna started moving/making it difficult (and Rire kept missing and hitting Ravus right after she got the right spell)... So it ended up like this, which is equally hillarious. x3
I was wondering what Ravus would end up as, too, when Karuna kept casting on her. And then she got butterflied and I was like HELL YES, ANLTER TREE, HO~

haha, that was kind of the narrative I had in my head the whole time, but yeah, flexibility was key really. xD

Pshh I like how JD left us so now it's just Rire and Ravus dressed as her characters looking like a couple of deranged fanatics. xD

roflmao!
Ravus seems to have fixed that, though x3
Hehe. That was too fun.

LOL, I started to feel like a creep. "HAY THE JD FAN CLUB MEETS HERE."

I just love Rire's skull mask by the way. xD Is it a festive thing or will he keep it for a while?

"HAY THE JD FAN CLUB MEETS

"HAY THE JD FAN CLUB MEETS HERE."
lmao
Supposed to be just a festive thing (as are the candles), but I rather like it, too, so he may keep it for a while after Halloween. Not likely to be permanent, though. Rire's too gentle-hearted to wear a dead thing on his face all the time, haha
Also: Little Light grew up so fast :< lol, Candle still has like two weeks. ..Or maybe a week and a half. Something like that.

I love the idea of Rire

I love the idea of Rire dressing up for Halloween, and getting all into it. The first time I saw him with the candles and the mask coming over like "HEY you made it to the partyyyy wheres ur candles" it just made my day. xD

Yeah, I agree that the masks he wears are very Rire-ish as is (well, obviously xD).

Edit: (Lol I think we both edited our messages to talk about Little Light.) --Big Light now? xD Yeah I totally had to do a double take the first time I saw her/him. They're still sweet though. I'm looking forward to seeing Candle grow up and if that affects him. :3

""HEY you made it to the partyyyy wheres ur candles""
Haha!

"Edit: (Lol I think we both edited our messages to talk about Little Light.) --Big Light now?"
I don't know what to call him/her any more~ Big Light doesn't sound like a candle... Although I guess in the Forest, there are candles like the one on the playground, rofl.

"I'm looking forward to seeing Candle grow up and if that affects him. :3"
x3 He'll probably be a little braver, maybe a little more outgoing. Probably not terribly frolic-y, though.
I was trying to get a screenshot of the two together, but Little Light logged out :<
lol, Ravus's face. "WOAH RIRE YOU WERE A CANDLEFAWN TWO SECONDS AGO."

Eh, Little Light still works

Eh, Little Light still works I think. :3 Or Arieh, when in doubt. PSST SHE'S BACK.

"x3 He'll probably be a little braver, maybe a little more outgoing. Probably not terribly frolic-y, though."

Aww, I could see this!

"lol, Ravus's face. "WOAH RIRE YOU WERE A CANDLEFAWN TWO SECONDS AGO.""

Lol, poor Ravus. It seriously throws us when deer morph into other deer without warning. You gotta thing it screws with the other deer a bit. xD

"PSST SHE'S BACK." I SAW! But

"PSST SHE'S BACK."
I SAW! But Rire didn't get her set back before she woke up :< She seemed pleased anyway, though, lol.
....Ohh, you know what, she still runs 3.31 -- she can't save her data to the server like we do. I wonder why her spelldata is messed up, though.

"You gotta think it screws with the other deer a bit. xD"
Haha, probably~ Poor deerses.
But maybe they get used to it after a while - adults suddenly switching to fawns (and vice versa), changing fur and antlers and faces.... The Forest is a strange place to be, if you think about it, so really it's all... normal? xD

Splinters - ...so does Ravus.

Splinters - ...so does Ravus. xD I agree though.

"I SAW! But Rire didn't get her set back before she woke up :< She seemed pleased anyway, though, lol."

Same, I'm not sure if she wants that set or not, really? Cuz that was the same one I 'gave' her the other day, and she just kept nodding the whole time, so I basically stopped spamming when I got tired of it. xD I like the one Rire got her!

"....Ohh, you know what, she still runs 3.31 -- she can't save her data to the server like we do. I wonder why her spelldata is messed up, though."

I think she fell in the pond... I THINK. haha

"The Forest is a strange place to be, if you think about it, so really it's all... normal? xD"

Good point! I love how much magic can explain any weird thing in the forest. xD

So does Ravus wh..
Oh! Love Geisha's set.
...lol. I spent like five minutes trying to figure that out, hit reply, and was like OH I GET IT.
Edit: lol, and then you edited it so this makes me look like I'm dumb.

"I think she fell in the pond... I THINK. haha"
Oh, you're right, now that I think about it. She did disappear from my screen in the direction of the pond, and I think she came back bare then...

"Good point! I love how much magic can explain any weird thing in the forest. xD"
One of the best parts :3 "Wait, you can't fly-" "MAGIC."

LMAO. I love how we constantly out-ninja each other. xDD And of course as soon as I hit that, I saw you had responded. Oh, us...

DAMN IT, I was totally trying to edit that. xD

Anyway, here's what I was gonna say:

"She did disappear from my screen in the direction of the pond, and I think she came back bare then..."

Yeah.. xD And speaking of which, I hope I didn't kill you earlier with my amazing waterwalking skillz. It's hard not to get jealous, I know. xDD
(Seriously, when Rire got it on like the first try I was all... GRR. You.)

"One of the best parts :3 "Wait, you can't fly-" "MAGIC.""

xD Yeah. I love seeing how the deer all incorporate it into their play.

I've learned to copy my reply before I click 'save' any time I think the topic is active, lol.

"I hope I didn't kill you earlier with my amazing waterwalking skillz. It's hard not to get jealous, I know."
Rire should be wearing the dragon pelt, he's so green with envy :<

"(Seriously, when Rire got it on like the first try I was all... GRR. You.)"
lmao, Rire's been practicing since he was a fawn three years ago.

"xD Yeah. I love seeing how the deer all incorporate it into their play."
Seriously! It's so interesting to watch how the social interactions develop in a place where you only have a set range of actions to display, and no words - how people find ways around it and to work with everything they have -- and to make more ways with the glitches they find xD
I totally mastered close-up shots today while I was failing to connect. I need to get some of those up o: I think I'm gonna try a couple screen edits.

"HAH, I GOT YOU BACK!

"HAH, I GOT YOU BACK! lmao

Very smart. xD

"Rire should be wearing the dragon pelt, he's so green with envy :<"

Rofl, TEF expressions ftw.

"lmao, Rire's been practicing since he was a fawn three years ago."
This makes me feel a little better, thank you. xD This is what Ravus gets for not practicing...

I love this whole paragraph. TEF is just great... and I love the glitches. xD
Wow, close-ups? I can't even imagine how to go about those. xD I would love to see those edits--what would you edit for?

"Wow, close-ups? I can't even imagine how to go about those."
It's pretty easy, once you know how to go about it. Find a hill, walk to the base of it, and move your camera into the top of the hill - then slow-walk towards the camera until you're close up! But if you do anything too quickly - move the camera angle, walk, etc - it'll mess up and you're back at square one.

"what would you edit for?"
Lighting, background, and so on. Because of the way self-taken closeups are made, the background isn't always the best. I kinda like it on some of these, though.
This one came out pretty well.

Oh wow... awesome video Pega.

Oh wow... awesome video Pega. I'm gonna try that later. xD

I, uh... so, to you both: how do you slow walk in this case? By slowly dragging the mouse? Or pressing the up and down arrows? I feel like my camera would end up following Ravus and not stay where it is if I used the wrong one. xD

"Because of the way self-taken closeups are made, the background isn't always the best."

Looking forward to seeing yours then. :3

Edit because, rofl, you already put one up:

YES that is great, Halloween Rire. xD He almost looks scary there! Pshh. xD I love that pose.

Yep, up and down at once. Or

Rofl, it took me forever to find your video again (I'd seen it some years ago, after it was put up). I Googled all kinds of crazy things. I should've just gone straight to YouTube. Durr.
It was very helpful (as you can see), and now resides in my favorites so I won't have to go hunting again x3

Thanks, hmarmstrong :3

lol, Ravus - I thought "That looks very Rire-y" when I previewed it, and then I opened the file and realized I'd used the 'taunt' emote. His ears are pinned back xD Oh well. Maybe I'll fix that in an edit~

I never expected that video to be that great. And yet it has the most views of all my videos. |D

Pfff, but it's so darn informative! How could it not be?

Half an hour later, Rire is now very Halloween-y :3

...Oh, wow. I love those

...Oh, wow. I love those changes. So subtle but they do a lot for showing his character. xD He just looks like mischief.

I UNDERSTAND ALL THIS A LITTLE BETTER NOW. Thank you, guys. :3
