15Q - Fledermaus

What is the exact age of your character—years, months, days?
25 years old- born on November 8th in 1983.

A place where your character is living or visiting begins to burn. The character has a few moments to escape. What does he/she grab—save?—before getting out of the fire and why?
He would try to save the few remaining things he has on his family (some photos, records and documents), and possibly his violin for its monetary and personal value. Though, he would certainly be devastated that he couldn’t save his great-grandfather’s piano. Also, he would make sure his dog, Stella gets out.

The character enters the room in which you are sitting. He/she sits down near you and places his or her left hand on the table or desk near you. Look at that hand. Describe it in as much detail as you can. Quickly. Go.
The back of his palm is somewhat pale, and he has long, slender fingers with exceedingly short fingernails out of bad habit. His hand is cool to the touch and the skin is smooth and soft. There’s a single dark freckle about an inch behind the knuckle of his ring finger, and a faded circular cigarette burn on the inside of his wrist.

This may be against your nature, but let’s at least pretend you’re a real snoop. You have access to a wallet, a pocketbook, or a purse belonging to your character. You have an opportunity to go through it, and—being a snoop—you seize the opportunity. What’s in the wallet, pocketbook, or purse? Take the stuff out. Describe it. If there’s lipstick, say what kind, color, what kind of container. Money? How much exactly and how is it organized? Keep going into the details of the contents. Is there something about which the character would be especially embarrassed? If so, what? If not, what do you make of that?

Cirque du Soleil - CONTEST! (Due date extended again- June 30th)

OKAYSO I was the National Harbor this weekend and I saw a huge banner for Cirque du Soleil's show called Kooza which I guess will be around in October BUTANYWAY the banner was so awesome and the colors were too cool for school. I loooove their performances and it would be sooo cool to have a line of Cirque inspired sets for the Forest, yes? Like based off their costumes/theme/colors or whatever. I have no idea if M & A would ever use any ideas as actual sets, but it's fun to imagine them anyway. C:

SO I AM HOLDING A CONTEST.

Rules

It's simple, really. Create a full Forest set based off of any one of Cirque du Soleil's shows!
You can use color schemes, patterns, designs, textures, materials, whatever from looking through the content of their shows/costumes/advertising/design. Having fun yet?!! xD

Keep this in mind: I am not looking mainly for artistic ability, I will look mostly for creativity in the design itself. But, your idea should be clearly portrayed.


Please submit your entry to the Pictures section of this site, and link to it in the comments on this blog in case I have a lapse of stupidity and miss it entirely. xD
When you submit your entry, include links to images of whatever material you were inspired by so everyone can see it.

The deadline is fast approaching, and there's still only one submission. :<
The due date is Friday, June 30th by midnight.
(subject to change)

Prizes

The 1st place winner will receive a full body digital drawing of their deer!
The runner up will receive a full body pencil drawing of their deer!
Exclamation pointsss!!

Tuna in her 4chan shirt and a fedora (lol wry?). xD I thought it was fitting.


Wyvern just sitting and lookin' pretty.


I don't know how accurate she looks, but this is what I came up with for Shyla.

15Q - Masque

((xD Don't even bother reading. I'm incredibly bored right now, and yet I don't even think I can finish it. |D ))

((EDIT: The last eight questions were ttly lame or just not applicable or interesting enough, so I kinda meshed together questions from another quiz. And now I still can't be arsed to finish it. xP))


What is the exact age of your character—years, months, days?
33 years old- born on December 23rd in 1976.

A place where your character is living or visiting begins to burn. The character has a few moments to escape. What does he/she grab—save?—before getting out of the fire and why?
He would most likely grab his jacket and fedora if he wasn’t already wearing them, because he insists on defining his style. Other than that, he may try to salvage a few bottles of whiskey and the more expensive scotch he owns, god forbid that goes to waste. If given the chance he would save his entire vinyl collection, but this would be impractical, so he may grab a few Johnny Cash or Lou Reed LP’s.

The character enters the room in which you are sitting. He/she sits down near you and places his or her left hand on the table or desk near you. Look at that hand. Describe it in as much detail as you can. Quickly. Go.

-My TEF Shop- (new items)


-----------------

Money raised for Tale of Tales: $35 USD

-----------------

Accordion Books - $7-$9 USD



These books are between 8-10 pages long, printed on a nice, textured, thick vellum paper. I would design the book to your specifications; the book could contain screenshots of your deer, photographs, illustrations, words, names, poems, quotes, your pictogram, sketches, anything really. I can show you a preview of the book before I print it so you can approve it. I've made a few of these before and I think they are really neat. ;D (The one above was made for my Typography class using a poem and images)


Sculpey Charms - $2 USD



Ha, ignore the crappy attempts I made just to show you what they would look like. Yours will look better ;D Anyway, these little charms can be your deer's pictogram (on a 1x1 inch square, to make it more durable)or a little 'icon' like the ones shown (whatever represents your deer). I can also turn it into a necklace/bracelet for $1 extra.


Resin Cast Charms - $3-4 USD

No picture yet
Basically they will be clear little shapes that I can put over an image or even 3d stuff (bugs, anyone?) Uhm, it's hard to explain without pictures.

The Happy Forest Memories Thread

EDIT AGAIN: DON'T MAKE ME BUMP THIS ohwait I already did. Poooooooossssst! AND HAKUNA MATATA, DAMMIT.

EDIT: THIS NEEDS A BUMP. Don't worry, be happy, and all that. Go through your screenies and look at how much fun we can be with our friends. C:

Anywho; in this thread I'd simply like everyone to dig through their screenshots as far back as they go and post your favorite memories with other deer. You can caption them if you like to give a little context, but sometimes the image alone tells the story. It can be anything, with anyone. The point is only to share your best times in the game and appreciate friendships and all that nice sappy cheesy stuff. :3 I'm really just looking to make a feel-good thread here.


Fled's first Abopgenesis. This was the first time I had seen so many deer in the Forest, and I thought it was so awesome.


Some of Fled's first friends.


The Lightbringer's New Year Party.


The Forest's remembrance of Emiva's friend who passed away. It was sweet to see everyone support her.


Mystress has always been one of Fled's most wonderful friends.


The fawn party for the birth of Rai's nephew (if I remember correctly).


Speaks for itself <3

.Destroyed. (short story)

((Oh man, this is too long. And lame Sticking out tongue Just some delicious backstory to explain a tiny bit of his bitter-old-stag-ness. It's somewhat parallel to what I imagine would have happened in humandeer-land, except restraining orders and prison don't translate well to Forest life. xD By the way, I suck at writing dialect and accents and shiz :<
Anyway, enjoy. Or not.))


The day crept closer and everyone could sense it. Each morning would be steeped with tension and curious glances, looking for news from the stag’s callous expression or the doe’s exhausted eyes. Still, they were never seen together; she stayed far from him and spent the days with her sister who vowed to fend off “that monster” should he venture near. Chanté had grown weaker as time went on and had no energy to resist her defensive stance; she simply accepted the protection and stuck by her sister’s side, never daring to be left alone. Meanwhile, the stag would spend his days sulking and venturing off alone for days at a time before anyone saw him again. Thoughts and emotions flooded him every minute, but he kept a rigid façade to hide the inner chaos. He doubted himself constantly and often wondered if he really meant what he had said.

The two sisters would periodically seek out the rest of his family; a soft-spoken brown and gold doe, a sensible charcoal-black stag streaked with red & gold, and their youngest who was still an adolescent but hardly spoke a word. The family was eager to see her when she made an appearance, offering comfort and kind words of optimism. They sympathized with her situation and, quite unlike their older son, cared for her wellbeing and treated her as part of the family. Mention of the rebellious young stag never crossed their tongues, they tended to keep him a taboo subject as there was still indecision when it came to how the issue would be handled; with or without him.

Ooooohhhhhhh I get it.

Okay, so apparently my wired internet connection (the one I can play TEF on) resets every 12:00AM. :\
Just realized this. I feel pretty dumb now xD I've noticed that every now and then, when I'm playing at night, suddenly my connection will be lost and then the stupid program I have to use to log back in has like a lapse of stupidity and it takes 5-10 minutes to get back in.

I hate this building. That is all. [/pointless]
