OKAY SO. This man reminds me of Rhye. SO MUCH. I had a better picture but the links broken so sdfkhjerui RAAAAAH and idk I guess people probably aren't going to know but seriously man this has been bugging me for months.

Also yes it was Sith's post that reminded me wheeee~

A collection of short little pieces of writing, both TEF and non-TEF.

Okay so the story goes as such:
I stayed up til 5am, was about to go to sleep and thought 'ah heck, I'll stay up and go to school at seven!' so I did. I just got back, and I feel like a zombie, but I can't sleep because if I do I won't wake up 'til like midnight and that would be bad.

So now I'm lonely, and I like talking to people, and generally you guys have funny stuff to say 8C I keep making pointless blogs like this but heeey my brain's too fried to post stories/poetry/anything else.

Actually, on a TEF-related note: I was wondering. D'you think it would be a good idea for The Keeper to have sight problems that worsen from time to time, in the Forest? I've been studying the soft effect ingame and I find it raaather spiffy.

Well, 'allo you lot.

Spent quite a long time sleeping under the rock at the Playground today. It's weird - since the last time I was here there's...well, there's weird signs on the rocks. Like all over them. Circles with crosses through 'em.
I should really tell Tuna. Either somebody's trying to scare us all or there's actually--nah. Slenderman doesn't exist.
...
God, that's creepy.

Anyway, I happened to catch a glimpse of Seed. Been a while, mate, we should hang out more often. Tons of fun, you. I guess that was Terrant with you? Nice. Never met the guy before. Virgil seemed a bit hesitant at first, or maybe that's just me. Almost like he didn't know if I'd welcome him or not. Don't worry. I've kind of calmed down.

And Waarhijd - good to see you again. I know Tal's been a bit...weird lately, but I still think of you as my niece. Still looking out for you. Wonder who your friend was? The set looked familiar, but I guess there's only so many deer you can see in the forest before you've seen every set three times over.

We had a pretty good time bouncing around the place with a peacock, until I spotted a group of skull deer a little while away from us. I'm a bit of a git at times, so I thought I'd go join the skull parade and see how many of them yelled 'NO GO AWAY WE'RE DARK AND MYSTERIOUS!!1!' at me.

Funnily enough, they didn't. I mean, the white one without a skull ran off the second I came over, but that's his loss. I'm a nice guy. Usually. But nah, the rest of them were nice enough.

It was the little group near the Skull Parade that I didn't really like. The one with the zombie antlers and the red pelt just...irked me somehow. I dunno. Some deer just don't feel friendly to me.

I lost the rest of them after a while, so I went to sit by Silent for a bit--oh, did I mention I met Silent? Well I did. Tried to sneak up on him and failed, so I just...shoved my head through a tree I guess. Fun stuff.

no lol actually I want you all to give me a quick sketch/drawing :U Seriously, like really quick. No competition or anything, just entertainment. Your deer, someone else's deer, both, an object, a creature, anything. I like looking at this kind of stuuuuuuff.

there's a lady who's sure, all that glitters is gold
and she's buying a Stairway to Heaven

your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
the piper's calling you to join him
dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know?
your stairway lies on the whispering wind...



Musings

27/11/11

MENTAL: Embarrassed, affectionate, playful
PHYSICAL: 100%
ACTIONS: Awoke as a Nutcracker. Found Kody...perched up in a tree, and then realised Demon was nearby. Went to her instead. Spellspamming time! Whined and glued himself to her when the Real Deer antlers appeared on her. Nomming and nibbling time! Started going through pelts to see what he had, and ended up naked. Ashamed/humiliated, hid himself in a tree. Flushed and huffed when Demon didn't seem to mind. At all. Eventually felt brave enough to stop hiding around her, but not around others. Went bolting looking for IX, only for him to disappear. Saddened. Sat down. Demon gave him the Long pelt. Purred at her. Had to leave.

I've been having troubles with viruses for a few days now. It started off as one that gave me a false spyware-removal thing, Windows Vista AntiVirus 2011 or something, and with Malwarebytes and RKill I removed it, although it came back several times when I restarted and such...
Then I got...I don't even know, a Trojan or something. And quarantined that.

I tried to run FeralHeart yesterday, and AVG said that it was infected with a virus, etc, so I quarantined it.

The same thing happened with TEF today. I quarantined it, then reinstalled, and the same thing happened.

Um. Help?

It was impossible to discern where she might have been. All that could be seen was endless white. No depth, no walls, nothing but a pristine white surface to stand on. The woman looked around, and slowly picked herself up, noticing immediately that her baby was missing.

Wary, she looked around, eyes wide. "...Where's my baby?" She asked fearfully to nothing and no-one, turning on the spot, straining to see past the whiteness.

And then when she turned back around, something was there to meet her. The woman's heart leapt into her throat, and then slowly relaxed as recognition flared in her eyes.

The creature was a large thing; quite a great deal bigger than most horses. Its body was muscular, but not overly-so, and thin-furred. Laid peacefully against its sides and back, however, were two large and eagle-esque wings, meant for soaring, rather than quick takeoff or sharp turns. Its face was almost flat, with a beak resembling a barn owl's, and two eerily wide mouths. Round eyes were set in the creature's face. Its ears were not easily seen.

At this creature's front hooves, was a stirring bundle.

She wept. She fell to her knees, and wept, hands covering her mouth as she stared at her living son. "Keeper--keeper, thankyou--thankyou--"

"Your soul."

The female froze, and stared at the creature.

"What--I don't understand--?"

"That is your payment. His life for your soul."

For a long time, the mother looked at her newborn child, and slowly, she picked him up, holding him to her chest. Tears dripped quietly from her chin as she gazed down at him, at those closed eyes, at the young and peaceful face.

"I love him, keeper. I love him, so much. More than--I thought I--"

"Your bond will not sever in death. Come, now."

She raised her head, shoulders slumped, eyes losing the fierce light that had kept her going for so long.

"So--so soon?

It's true that there's very little keeping me bound to this forest. I spend less time among the trees and more time in the confines of my human home, able to escape from the others. By being alone, there is no chance of betrayal, or failure, or disappointment.
But despite this...solitude, I feel stronger. As if the past no longer matters. Despite losing the things that used to matter most, I am still alive. I have done better than some. I've survived. Bitter and unable to trust I may be - but I'm alive.
I have my family. And I don't need another.



You know that feeling you get when you're running? That feeling that makes you think, for a second, that you're flying. Yeah, that one. Y'know what I'm on about.
Anyhow, that's pretty much what life is. For me, anyway. Dunno about you, love.
I mean, I've got a few issues. Personal crap. You wouldn't be interested. Don't know if people would expect it from me or not. But hey, it's not a choice.
Anyway.
I actually miss my girls, y'know. Tuna, Marti, Isis, Emiva, Fen, Row, Tabi...All my girls. An'--I feel bad for not goin' up to see T yet. But I'll do it someday. Kept that picture she sent me. Got it tucked away in a drawer with the rest of the pictures I have.
Y'know. The naked ones. No, no, I'm kidding.
I'm a bit more human than I used to be, I reckon. I mean, I've always preferred the streets to the trees, but I fit in better in the human world. A lot better.
Nice to come back every once in a while, though.
