The stag sighed, peering in to the water. The forest's magic had changed him a lot. His face was not even a human face anymore, like it had been when he first arrived. His colors, they were odd and unnatural. Even his antlers had been a little changed, blackened.

Iphea wondered what it would be like to change back. He wondered what Roe would think if one day he came up to her and just sneezed a giant sneeze that made everything come loose. All the magic that had settled on him would just disappear in that characteristic puff of blue smoke. He had doubts she would like a deer that was the species found here over the species found outside. But maybe it was just him being... well... paranoid? Could you call it that?

Iphea sneezed. He lay on the ground by the pond for awhile, peering over the edge and in to the water at his human face. It peered back with a forlorn expression, but it was back to the way it had been before the magic, all excepting the color, of course. "I don't know how many times I have changed. Maybe this won't be the last time, but maybe it will." The stag sneezed again, his pelt becoming a suede-inspired brown with white flecks.

Thank the gods he did not shrink.

The beast rose to his hooves and peered around.

"If she finds me, I wonder what she would say."

Iphea traipsed off, peering at the forest, his eyes now in a position akin to predators, though he had always been prey. The stag pressed a hoof to a nearby tree, scraping free some mushrooms and coughing away the mask-spell after he ate them to satisfy the morning hunger in his stomach.

His head slowly raised, nostrils flaring to catch scent, before he moved off to a flower bed to rest among the blooms. Iphea smiled as he rubbed his cheeks in to the flowers, happy to be inconspicuous and naturally-coated among them.

Soft, feathers trailed over the cheeks of one who slept. Those feathers turned to fingers, then those fingers melted away.

The beast opened its eyes. It had been awakened like this for days, as if it were in two worlds at one time.

I'll be old by the time things don't wake me like this anymore.

First front, then rear hooves made the ground tremble and bend as it rose, but only to ants could it be considered an earthquake. The face of this animal swung every-which-way, trying to see everything at once.

You make me cry, trying to tell you how many times? There is no predator here.

His eyes squinted as he pawed the ground in annoyance. Thoughts got annoying sometimes.

The thing walked on long, stilt-like legs until it reached the water. Immediately, it scared away the fish by pressing its face in to the liquid to slosh it around.

I reject this society.

The beast shook clean its face, before taking a long slug of water and wandering off.

Because it rejects me.

The beast wandered past all the colored-pelteds....

They accept you, as long as your set is complete.

before disappearing.

Part one of Act four

Dark, ominous, foreboding
Thoughts and feelings floating
Clouded vision, clouded eyes
Living dead, wants to die

Black, menacing, threatening
Affliction suffering
Losing the love, Losing the life,
Listing sins, filled with strife

Pain, agony, reliving
Sweet relief in the drawing
Tangled thinking, tangled speaking
Sketching life, sketch dreaming

Numb, paralyzed, abashed
Color and lines penciling
Clearing the way, Making a path
Curving ways, Curving wrath

Tears, a healing, more crying
Pours out through my finger tips
Intense focus, Intense movement
Release please, Release please

Peace, a calmness, a respite
Animals symbols abstracts
Metaphor light, metaphor dark
Balance in, balance out

In the darkness came the art
In the darkness came my life

Hello... I'm new here. Since I'm a total failure at online RPing, I'm not sure how successful this attempt will be. But I love this game to death and it's super addicting! I can't wait to make some friends!

Name: Riala

Gender: Doe

Personality: Strong and very sociable but hates starting up an engagement with anyone. Actively seeks out others but is too shy to approach. Once you get to know her, though, she will never let you go.

Description: Default antlers, peacock pelt, no mask.

Quick Bio: Waking up in the forest, she knew that she was forgetting something. It was as if she had woken up out of a dream, but as she felt the grass beneath her hooves she was obviously mistaken. For a fleeting moment she came to the conclusion that she had been reborn into another life- but just as quickly as the revelation came, it disappeared, and all Riala was left with was knowing that she was young and free and absolutely starving. And so she went to snack on some fungus. Thus begun a beautiful childhood.

As she grew, she kept to herself and observed other deer from afar, watching them to see what she should act like. Now she is older and still the same, though less skiddish around others and capable of holding her ground. Quite level-headed, too; it would take a lot of doing to anger her or even ruffle her fur.

THIS WILL BE CHANGING A LOT, PROBABLY.

I'm not going to save any of the old stuff. I'll just be building on top. This is just a general character sheet for easy reference. Stories or anything will be separate posts.

Can someone with the older version cast the Candle antlers on troll deer please?

I cannot connect to the forest. I can re-log, and disconnect and then try reconnecting, but nothing happens. I have no idea /what/ it could, be whether the BZD is causing all of the backup or what, but I cannot play TEF unit this issue resolves itself. Which most likely means missing seeing the BZD for the first time in all the time I have been here. I am sorry, but this issue simply will not resolve itself, and I wanted the skull mask more than I wanted anything else, after losing my last one. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. But no matter how long I wait, the forest never loads. Not getting what I really wanted for Halloween this year, I guess. Good job to those who have even /seen/ the stupid BZD in-forest. To be frank, they need to remove this issue before I explode.

Cutiepie has left the forest,this is the story of her going back home.Enjoy =]
