"Officials report that a small group is going to venture into this forest to see what so many people have wondered about. They will be heavily armed, not only with weapons, but with cameras. There's very little chance they will be coming back alive, but if they do, they will hold so many answers. Our prayers go out to these brave people."

It was a very dull morning. Light, dusty clouds floated overhead, making everyone expect rain but then denying them the pleasure. Everyone went about their business. Skokey, Fenqua, and Fulu did what they always did. But something didn't seem right. Skokey was on edge, something was hanging there, waiting to happen. Something very unusual.

Skokey went off by himself, wanting the two does to get to know each other. But he also wanted some time to think. Vessel had told him to be wary of something the night before. Something dangerous. What did he mean? He couldn't help but think this was a sick joke of his. He did say he liked to scare deer at times. Perhaps it was all in his head... In his head. That's what started this whole mess with Vessel.

Something russled not too far away. Skokey swivled his ears, it was like nothing he had ever heared. He raised his nose to the air and sniffed carefully. There was an unknown scent. It was musty and bitter. His blood ran faster, trying to take Vessel's words into great consideration. He stood where he was, unmoving. A figure appeared before him. It was nothing he had expected.

[=blue]Scape: I seem to have fallen behind again. O.o
But no problem; there aren't many pictures this time, even though they go back to the morning of the first. XD
I ran into Himself, and he decided he wanted to be clones, so he started casting spells on me, and pretty soon I had the skeleton pelt, real deer mask, and candles. After posing for a few moments and goofing around as twins, we found who I later learned is a doe named Emiva at the Ruins. Himself had cast the skeleton pelt on her earlier, when she was asking for pelt spells, and after seeing us she sneezed back to it.
We were the three skeleton deer!


I left right after that, though, because it was getting late (early morning for my human after all), and let one of my buddies switch in - Toukan - right before fading from the Forest. Pega was slowly introducing him to everyone we know because his stag-day would be very soon.
He's grown up since then, which you probably know if you've read the journal Pega started for him and Kinsha. =]

And of course, the next day was his stag-day.
After helping Seed out with his set, he wanted to let Seed know why he was acting so similar to yours truly (we are quite a bit alike, actually, but no blood relation), so he let me switch in - after sneezing to candles so I wouldn't be completely naked. ^^;
Seeing Seed's own journal from that day, I see he suspected something before I appeared. Heh. Guess it was obvious at that point.
Everyone who was there all started dancing in the purple flowers nearby. Even Halogen showed up before that. =]

I'd think I'd be visible right now, because I can see alot of deer, including 21...

Kinda depressed, so...don't mind my sad bowing.

It'd be my luck if I'm invisible...meh.

The deer (who isn't on the community site), Estang, looks beautiful whilst sleeping, even if they'll never see that.

If so...

Could you help me?

I am writing poems about the history of TEF. These poems will be about events, players, and other things in the history of the game. So far, I've written 'how the forest was created' (using imagination), '21', and 'Walter' poems...with the help of Verdalas and Ephra.

But, I need -your- help.

Have you been here for any events? Like...the drama about mating, the life and passing of Run, different pelts, different events, drama involving a few players, etc.?

If so...

Could you tell me in detail about these deer, these dramas...anything?

If so...please post here with any information you can provide...it would be very helpful ^^;

I lost my hope... but now I'm happy to see some creative inside this network of copy & paste gaming / comunity.

I have some ideas for improve the experience... could you contact me?

Everyone's been writing really kickbutt stories lately, so I'm thinking of doing my own. :3 The plot's secret at the mo, but I do need a few deer who are willing to interact with each other.
Just toss me a screenshot of your deer in his or her favorite set. ^^

1. Atiq (Atiq)
2. Blackwolf (BW)
3. Danii (Taliene, Rutilus, and Jared)

I took some closeups during a short jaunt to the playground. Added to that is one I took yesterday at the ruins. Dunno who any of these guys are, though. XD








And then some group pics.



Closeups at the Ruins. :3



We are the Deer in Black. XD Sarie, Peepo, me, and two others I don't recognize.

Alright...here's my try at a poem about Ephra's deer, Twenty-One...

--- Twenty-One reasons to fly ---

Before the fawn
Before the mate
The stags ran high and low
For when the male
Nipped hoof and tail
There was no prize to show

And then one day
There came a fae
A doe, of softest pelt
No need for quarrel
Amongst the laurel
Of anger, she never felt

She drove them mad;
Though she was glad,
She was not welcome here
For stags, confused
Were not amused
That a doe had come so near

But still, she nuzzled,
Sweet and kind
And befriended some of the others
And when the fawns
Felt lost, alone,
She stood high as the Mother

And slowly did
The males give way
To let her be, for now
For others stepped
Into the sun
As does, so calm and proud

Her gentle ways
Her kindest heart
Let stags before her know
That there were
Twenty-One good reasons
For to be a doe

Rhyming =/= My best attribute.

I tried, heh. You can probably tell where I struggled for words :3

I've loaded you multiple times in the forest...like now. Sitting by a cute little tree I've never seen before.

Anyways, on another note...

I always giggle when I see nameless fawns Because then, I -know- the deer is real.

Oh look. Random nameless stag running towards the river.

<<;

>>;

If I walk towards him/her, they will stop running and look at me, then when I get even closer, they'll look the way I look.

XD; So predictable.

last time i was with you were trying to walk on water right? looked like you were having trouble XD
heres what i do: i run to the pond and jump, it usally doesn't work the first time, so i stop at the border between shallows and deep water then push the up key, shift, and space all at the same time, i'll jump over the water and the second I touch the water i walk backwards.

hope that helps

also, is your deer a doe or a stag? and is there something i can call you besides a number XD?

Emiva is going to paris for vacation! She is so excited!
We'll be gone from the 7th to the 17th
Salut, my deer friends!!!
