I've been sad, lately. Really quite sad.

And even though I'm not really personal friends with anyone in the Forest, it's a place I visit often, to escape.

Just want to say thank you to all you strangers. Every time I log on, it's guaranteed I find another deer who appears friendly and approachable.

Thanks for letting me relax with you for a while =)

I had a WONDERFUL evening in the Forest, today. I felt surrounded by lovely deer, and simply overjoyed by the atmosphere.

Many deer assisted Efter in his search for a new look! And to all who did - thank you!

The fact that the screenshot tool isn't working means that I can't thank you directly, though...

Does anyone know why it isn't working? I take the screenshots (by pressing P, right? Or Ctrl and P) and the screen pauses for a moment, as if taking the screenshot. But, then when I go to the screenshot folder, there is nothing there!

If anyone else has experienced this problem, and knows how to fix it... please help! Taking screenshots is one of the most useful aspects of the Forest!

By the way, I've only just installed the Forest onto my laptop, which is Windows 7. Would that make any difference?

Anyway, if anyone reading this might recognise Efter's Picto from my profile, then speak up if you helped him! I want to thank you all!

Goodnight

I've heard several people talking about "saving" their sets... But I don't really understand. Mine stays equipped automatically when I open/close TEH..

Can anyone explain what they meant by "saving"?? Thanks

Who is the deer on the right?

I just want to thank you for a lovely time in the forest! At first, I was unsure whether you wanted Efter's company, or not, but when it became apparent that you did want to play with him, I enjoyed it thoroughly!

Thank you very much for assisting Efter in trying out some masks, and so on. I hope Efter helped you too! (I know he managed to get you a pelt! I'm hoping to try out some other pelts. I'm not sure about the grey one.. What do you think?)

Anyway, I do hope you see this, so I can find out who you are! Hope to see you again soon

After seeing Tsuda had done this, Efter was determined to do it himself. So, he ran up to the lake, and jumped in, many times, in an attempt to stand on the water.

FINALLY, he managed to do it!! But as soon as he moved, he splashed down beneath the surface (with those lovely pretty fishies) and turned into a frog.

Ribbit.

Finally, I had chance to play as Efter for a while! I've been so busy the past couple of days, it felt fantastic to just relax in the forest.



Upon waking up in the forest, Efter had a little bit of a run around, enjoying the freedom, and then met this very kind deer and had a good ol' boogie. See here in this picture, Efter's first new colour of the evening! A nice bit of sexy green. Sweet. (read on, for more!)

I had such a nice time this evening! I played mostly with Tsuda, and another deer - who I recognise from Tsudas own photo diary.



It was really, really nice. I felt like we were a little family, while we were playing, and I want to thank you both for the fun we had! (Read more, to see more photos)

I'm just wondering... Is there any sort of story behind the Forest? It's so mysterious...

The bridge would have been made by human hands, so either the people have left, or have become the deer... (hence the human faces).

But what's really been on my mind is - if the people were indeed turned into deer, why? Was it some kind of punishment against the behaviour of the people?

By removing the power to communicate through words, there's not really any way to corrupt, or hurt, apart from physical violence (though, thankfully, Tale of Tales did not include violence in the Forest).

Hmmm.. My own ramblings probably aren't of much interest to any of you, but if anyone has any other theories/ideas/stories about the Forest... I'd be fascinated to hear some! My curiosity needs to be quenched, to a certain degree.

Thank you for reading, if you have =]
I'll see you in the forest!

Hey everyone. Decided I'm going to upload photographs (or, for you pedantic people, screenshots!) to my blog, starting today - 2nd of December, 2009.



Played with this very handsome deer, for a short while, today. Who is this? Hehe, the deer seemed to not want to dance with Efter, at first... But found me again later on, and danced (along with a white deer, who I forgot to take a photo of...)
