I miss my fawnhood: I miss hanging out with Scape all the time, and the times Payton and I were togethor as fawns, not sure of the feelings that would pull us togethor like leaves in the current of a river...I miss the feeling of a big, connected community: I still see it now and again...but for sad things, not happy ones. Maybe it was that desire that set me off trying to do a service nightly. It worked well last night: there weren't many of us, but we had a good time. I would have been happy to have that again tonight.

At first, I figured, well, not many deer were on, but they could get on soon...I don't know who I was fooling. Magnet did a very good job of keeping my company: the two of us waited in the ruins, calling out to deer who, I guess, decided not to listen. I'm hoping that those few found better things to do, rather than there being a misunderstanding. But these things do happen, I suppose... I waited for 10 minutes or so, and when no one other than Magnet or I showed up, I decided I would just walk back to the bridge.

In lighter news, I watched birds near the deermuda today: I liked the feeling of their little claws on my antlers, the bustle of their come and go...there's a poem in there somewhere, I'm sure. I notice that many of the animals in the forest are like the deer who live here...

I'll try tommorow, I'll try tommorow...

((Maybe I should try a different time...))

So I'm feeling a bit blah today and went back to the Forest to just and have a good time. So I took a shot or too, and compared them with some older ones I've taken earlier and haven't posted yet. So yeah... I'm just gonna share them.


Miorrowind likes chasing bugs and trying to catch them. I think at first he confused the peacock watching him though. XP


I've also noticed that there are a couple other fawns with similar pictographs to Miorrowinds. He likes playing with those fawns, or just staring at them.



And if you're curious I found a couple stags and mostly we just ran circles around eachother today, then I lost them and it seems like we were playing hide-and-go-seek at the ruins. That was fun. ^^
Is it just me or does the live forest map never seem to show what's actually going on in the forest?

I just had to come on here and say how gratified I am to be part of such a creative, talented community (and that goes for all producers of creative things, regardless of the medium). Quamar's and Pepokeen's recent art just blew me away.

Here is a blog post about this awesome communiy. It's one of the many reasons people should join this game.

In other news, I haven't been able to get in the Forest all week due to severe computer problems. I am using another computer for my Internet needs.

All of you guys are awesome! *drops weapon of mass-nuzzlation*

"Skokey...Skokey, wake up..."

Skokey weakly opened his eyes. It was almost blinding, what he saw. He let his eyes adjust to the bright light.

"Skokey... My poor boy..."

A sillhouetted figure of a stag stood before him. His appearance was glorified with a bright yellow light. Skokey could barely make out the ghostly object hanging above the figure's head.

"Why are you doing this to yourself?"

"I..I don't know... What else am I supposed to do?" He asked, still bewildered by the darkened figure.

"You're in so much pain..."

"You have no idea..." Skokey squinted, trying to seek out any detail of the figure. He completely opened his eyes, tears starting to spill over, "...It's you..."

"Skokey, you shouldn't do it. There's no reason for you to."

"How should you know? How can I keep going at this point? What could there possibly be for me?"

"Remember what I taught you. That's all you have to do."

The light started to fade away, the figure of the late stag diminishing as well. Skokey got up, pleading for the light to come back. But soon, it was night again, and Skokey realized he had just opened his eyes.

"It was a dream..." He got up. There was a full moon out, everything was glistening silver. The stars shone brightly, twinkling like diamonds. A breeze flew overhead, blowing some leaves off trees as the rest clattered together. Skokey started to sob, laying himself down again. A small pool of tears formed below his face; it too had a silvery glow to it. "...Dad..."

Skokey awoke again. His face was still wet. He looked about himself. Everything was the same.

You know I'll be away from the forest for the rest of my summer, two months, I just wanted to know if you still wanted to have Isa as a mate, when more than likely you won't hear from her very often, let alone get to see her. And I just got news that my dad currently has no internet. I'm not sure if you'd prefer waiting for her all summer, or not. I'd like to know before I leave (tomorrow at 4AM oO) for vacation.

Today I came across Walter and Cutlery! Cutlery and Naire nuzzled for a little, but Walter ran away. >:C Grumpy old retired stag.
SOMEONE SPELLSPAM ME, PLEASE.
[edit] Cutlery, you meanie. Sitting up there on top of the idol where I can't reach you to bite your-I mean, to hang out. It's getting boring down here.
[editedit]THE DEVOUTS ARE SPELLSPAMMING ME
NOT YOU GUYS
RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN

So yeah, I haven't really had a chance to come to the forest because of the weekend. I don't know... it seems that I can't get on because of... I don't know. But yay, I came for a little fun today! I'm stressed recently, what with the wedding coming up, so I had a great time just chilling in the forest, but while I was there something horrible happened!



It seems that the Deermuda has cut me in half!










Or I simply found another fawn dancing half way in a rock so I joined her/him/it. Ah, whoever you are, I hope you had fun too. If you see this, please tell me so.

I have some more I'll post up later (if I choose to add to them later on), but here's something wierd - two deer floating on a willow tree.

Well, it starts out as one and then the other somehow does it too.

























I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DO THIS!! IT FREAKS ME OUT WHEN IT HAPPENS!

At the Old Oak...


The fossilized cheeseburger that Anzel discovered behind the Old Oak...


Serenity...


This glitch makes the forest quite calming...

Oh, and...if you watch me on dA, I'm gonna post a picture of a chipmunk soon...just caught one that the cats brought in yesterday, and let it free.

Lastly...This is the closest you can get to a winter wonderland in the forest, heh...click here for the full image...

Anzel feels ignored.

She feels ticked that nobody cared about what she said.

...

Everyone ignored what I had said. I don't know why I even bothered saying anything last night...

I feel kind-of ignored. I'm going to be quiet for a while.
