Jan 9 [what was written earlier]

When Scape was walking through the Forest, looking for deer he knows, he didn't expect to get surrounded. Then a dance line started up out of nowhere.



It turned into a conga line.


Then they all started to walk forward, still in line, like it was a parade.

..which quickly turned to chaos. XD

Eventually Scape separated from the group, got greeted by Zerg, and became carousel deer with her and Taiko.

After a dance performance by Walter and Ephra (which I sadly didn't get any screenshots of D=), and everyone left, Zerg and Scape hung out. And yea, he got Secretary Bird pelt'd. XD He likes to wear it sometimes, so he kept it.

An attempt at climbing trees? (This shot is the exact opposite of Zerg's version. XD)
Scape got bored since no one else was around after Zerg left, so Spade switched in to just sit around. That didn't last long though, as his sister Devi showed up. After a little "friendly fighting" via antler spells, they headed for the Crying Idol, after Spade's failed attempt to avoid another spell.

Yesterday was like the revolving door of deer for me. First I had Magnet in cuz Walter was back, then I switched to Radeon, then Spade, and finally Kinsha.
Quad's entry already covers what Magnet was up to, and I didn't take any screenshots... ^^; Then Radeon was barely in. He was just there long enough to notice the absence of dragonflies (which he wasn't upset over; he knew they'd return) and meet Tropa for a second. Then Spade entered the Forest. Right afterwards, Tropa switched to Faytha. Spade kinda got steamrollered by her hyperness at first. XD He was paying more attention to his reflection at first, seeing as the "tradition" continues.

This has happened for all my deer so far. XD
They went to the Crying Idol soon after. He started running back and forth, jumping over the river, prompting Faytha to join in. Afterwords, she sat down, so he sat to wait. Another fawn came up and cast the whistling mask on Spade. He amused himself by calling out to hear how his voice changed. That's when Faytha stood up, saw the mask, and took off. He followed...only to get another mask cast on him. XD Commence somewhat of a mask war.
Finally got him to loosen up some.

But that's when she left.

Later, Kinsha wandered the Forest. He kinda turned teacher for a bit, explaining the finer points of the ninja-walk to Cirrus. She's sort of become an "apprentice" to the ninja.

He's showing her how to spot the "world seams" - the lines that separate the sections of the Forest. Certain ones can mess with the ninja-walk. The easiest one to spot is the line between the first forest and birch forest.

I convinced the ninja-deer to come out of hiding to attend the Abio, since it was his turn to go to one.
And GASP! Kinsha was actually social! I blame the rush from the Abio effects. XD
I managed to keep the screenshots to a minimum. I have a manageable total of 15. =D

[THE EDIT WAS FOR THE TITLE. ME AND MY BEING STUCK ON WRITING THE OLD YEAR. XD;]

Such a long day. XD And it was all Scape! I'll just let the screenshots do most of the talking...

First Scape and Zergarikiaka get Seed's set, they celebrate, then..

Their attempt at making a triple demon-tree. XD

Closest they got.

I think Okami got bored with the insanity of the adults. XD

Dancing and chaos.





It's the quadruple deer!

And a leaping Zerg! XD

Morph into a line dance!



It's the cluster deer!


Reminds me of the six-headed deer from Scape's fawnhood...

Since so many wonder how it's done, I tried to explain how in video form.
Our lucky "victim" for this is Magnet.

Ok, so it was just one. XD
Radeon was running around on the pond with Okami and another deer I don't know, celebrating Okami's learning how to keep from falling in, when Michael appears right next to the pond! He turned into a fawn a few times with a different picto, too. But then the lightning started, and it began to rain! He went "god orb" on us, taking off with Radeon giving chase. I guess he decided to take revenge, cuz Radeon got turned into a frog. XD Then he ran to a purple flower patch, and poof. He was gone.
The rain remains.

And the best part is, I had Fraps running so I caught the lightning on video. =D

[EDIT AT THE BOTTOM]
[=blue]Scape: Happy New Year everyone! =D Pega had some time before she had to go to her aunt and uncle's house, so I was able to go into the Forest for a little while.
I woke up to see it was night time, as had been asked of the Twin Gods.

Pega got a cool shot of the Forest fading to night.
And the rumors of giant candles were true! I found Taiko closeby, casting antler spells with another stag and a few fawns. We hung out for awhile, then ran to the Crying Idol when someone broke out the devout pelt. It was there that Seed found us! =D I decided to have a little fun with the giant candles at the Idol, which Seed caught onto.

But Seed got an even better idea!

To land on the candles.

I had a little fun with the flames.



Is Taiko pointing at something on the Idol? O.o

Pega says this makes her think of the Chipmunks again...whatever that means.
After that, Seed prompted a game of devout tag. It didn't last too long, because, well...I missed. We saw a patch of purple flowers with some fireflies buzzing about, though, so we decided to dance there.

[=#990000]I found myself entering a rather calm forest tonight. Few deer ventured through the trees, and those that did I was unacquainted with. I sat in a sunbeam, letting the rays warm my fur as I observed the scenery, before venturing down to the pond to greet the dragonflies and have a drink.
It was there that a nameless deer appeared from the waters as I began to make my way towards the Crying Idol. They were much more courteous than the usual nameless, even bowing in the proper greeting etiquette. After a moment, I decided to give them the poppies I was carrying, as I was heading to the Idol and could easily replace them. Since nameless can only keep flowers and candles, I felt they may enjoy the colorful buds.
They followed me to the Idol, I assume out of curiosity, or perhaps because there was no one else around and I had shown them kindness. Not too may deer acknowledge the nameless, which I find strange. Aren't they deer just like the rest of us?
Replacing the poppies I had given, I decided to show the nameless stag some of the Forest Magic. The masks seemed to amuse them, but I could tell they were a bit down from the masks' fast disappearance and being unable to perform magic themself. There were a few pine trees near the mushroom-covered tree, so I moved onto antlers. More amusement from that, but I think they liked the mask magic better.
Since casting antlers "takes out" the flowers (as Pega would say), I went to give them more poppies, replacing mine once again. They appreciated the gesture. Glancing at the Crying Idol, the idea of pelts came to mind as well. I revealed to them one of the Idol's many gifts to the Forest - the red pelt. It took them a moment, but they soon emerged red. I liked giving them the knowledge that they could gain a pelt on their own as much as they wished, especially with magic fading from nameless deer so fast.
I took a moment to sit and meditate as Pega did other things, the other deer sitting nearby.

I'm letting the screenshots talk (along with captions), because too much has happened, and they've built up. o_o

As a holiday treat, spells have been sticking to fawns. Hearing about this Scape leapt into the Forest for some fawn fun. =D He found a group near the Ruins, but then a familiar picto was spotted.

I see a Sluggs.

Oh look, a mini clone.
After that, everyone was trying to be a peacock clone. XD Scape didn't get to though, cuz I think the others forgot about him and didn't realize he wanted to join in. =/ He felt ignored, so he left.

I wanted Spade to get in on the fun of spells sticking to fawns. While his account has been grown up for a long time, he's supposed to be a fawn, so this was a great way for me to have him in his future set now. =]

On a mushroom, admiring the view.
He passed a sleeping fawn, and, checking that no one was around, cast a mask spell. He came up with the kabuki mask. Getting an idea, he completed the fawn version of the set.

He liked the peaceful song come from the statues, too. This was also a nice opportunity for a screenshot.

Oh, and he finally met his Uncle Vessel. =D ...for all of 5 seconds. XD; But maybe because Zergarikiaka was too hyper for him. Spade was unsure how to react to her himself, but after trying out his father's "demon tree" routine and seeing that it amused her, he opened up some. =]
