Friendly suggestion to the creators

So; My character in the game has the barn owl mask.
And I thought it would be a cool idea if like other masks, the barn owl mask changed your deer's voice... into perhaps a hoot like an owl.
It would be great if the game creators take this into consideration.
I don't have my hopes up, but I thought it would be a nice detail.

New Friends


You can scarcely breath here...
It's not the air, it's all the colors and all the trees and all the deerfolk that seize me. Sometimes, I hold my breath and just watch, afraid to breathe lest the sound disturb the forest's song. Other fawns pranced gayly through the meadow and called out to me. I would join them soon enough, but right then a butterfly was beckoning.

She was a very small thing, fluttering quietly in shades of teal and white. No matter how hard I strained my ears, I couldn't understand her words. The forest was constantly whispering in a language just beyond my understanding. So right there in the flower patch, I resolved the learn it.

Despite my attempts to speak butterfly, my new friend flew off, perhaps I offended her. No matter, I would give her some time, and come back later to try again. Shaking flowers free from my pelt, I rose, looking around for something to catch my interest.

Eventually, I had made my way back to the lake and gingerly stepped in. The water was cold today, its nearly frozen surface collecting the white flakes from the sky. Despite the change in weather and inevitable passage of time, the sun never moved from it's position in the sky. But then I wondered "Should it?" and found I didn't know.

Declining a bath today, I made my way toward a group of older deer. They're pelts dazzled my eyes and their masks shifted around as they cast spells upon each other. Excited, I joined in, spending countless time trying out new voices. Strangely enough, I found I preferred to go without a mask... And I might as well, because mine kept slipping off after a while. Bored with the mask game, I followed a nearby deer, wondering where they were going.

The white deer greeted me warmly, seemingly glad to have a tag-along. I was overjoyed to find the older creature was perfectly happy dancing and jumping along with my young energy.

[2021 UPDATE] Years in the future, but not many...

Hey all, it's been a long time.

I don't know if anyone remembers me- my username used to be Ookani and this used to be my fuzzy caribou character, Zelig. People did art of him and I made a few friends and watched a lot of amazing characters grow and change over the years here. It's amazing to see some of you still around- I'm so glad to see the community is still going strong.

I go by the username Scribblescruff, Scruffy for short, now, which is a lot more me. If anyone fancies catching up, reply below! Or contact me on Skype alternatively by that username. I'm thinking of getting a new character started or at least spending a bit of time in the Forest as a bit of a detox. Life is pretty hectic at the moment. Sometimes you just need to be a deer.

Hope you're all well. Would really love to hear back from anyone that was kicking about when last I was here!


Leaving all that up for posterity/archival but a lot of it needs updating, see below.

HI.

a disabled transmasc artist and my pronouns are he/they, you can find me on the socials under that name!

zbor endless forest

Wake Up, Little One

I awoke in the forest.

Not a forest... THE forest. The forest with sun, trees, and birds everywhere. The forest with flowers whispering in the wind, where and butterflies chased each other with reckless abandon. My eyes could barely take it all in, the world was so big, so vivid! Slowly, as my eyes adjusted, a tall blurry shape took the form of a tree. So transfixed was I by this site, I didn't even realize I was inching toward it. My long, spindly legs unfolded on their own accord, bearing my weight for the first time. Of course, they gave way the first time, and the second... On the third attempt, they held.

Everything was quiet and peaceful, allowing me the time I needed to understand myself a little more. I had 4 legs, could walk, stop and lay down. If I pushed myself a little harder, my feet would carry me swiftly in any direction! But I was prone to falling on my face when stopping.

A friendly rabbit led me through the quiet thicket, until we exited the trees to see a truly breathtaking sight. Water, so much water! The lake shimmered and seemed to go on forever, hypnotizing me with its rippling surface. I stepped forward...

And suddenly the shore was alive! A flash of orange and black stopped me in my tracks as a doe darted past, disappearing into the water with a splash. Startled, I reared back and dashed into the forest, running for my life. There were so many colors and sounds, I didn't know what to do!

My headlong dash was brought to a halt by a sudden collision. With the sound of a distant storm, an older deer whispered his greeting. He was a tall, dark stag whose antlers were adorned with glimmering candles, whose eyes told me nothing and everything at once. When he bowed, I followed suit, learning and growing from that moment on.

With a regal nod, turned into the woods, bidding me to follow.

I did.

[ role-play with esmerée ]

I think I've finally decided on a general idea of what Esmerée is going to look like (but still too lazy to draw it *shot*), enough to at least get her connections started. To role-play with this girl, though, just be sure to have a character that can withstand being around her! Though she may appear small and gentle, she is - in realty - far from that; practicing magics of all sorts, the fragile-appearing doe isn't the type to hold back from using her powers, even if the subject is otherwise defenseless. To get along remotely with this enchantress, you must first get past her initial I-hate-you-and-everything-about-you phase upfront. After that is all said and done, she's... okay. If you enjoy being used as an occasional experiment for new spells, then she'll be perfect company. Other than that, not quite so much.

With that being said, I'm looking for several people (around five) to start out role-playing her with! I personally don't mind who she meets, but for your character's sake, it may be best that they're stronger than her (physically, that's not a problem *cough* she's a midget *cough*). She doesn't like fawns in the least bit, but will tolerate them if she finds a way to put the young ones to good use. When it comes to stags, she's a flirt and a tease in the beginning, normally trying to put them under some form of spell that would bring humor to the youthful hind. As for those of her own gender, she has formed a unique fascination with female behavior. She generally looks down upon does due to their almost-always lack of power, but a select handful have managed to gain her attention for the better.

Now, are you still interested in role-playing with her? Great! I'm thoroughly looking forward to her making a few acquaintances!
