I miss my fawnhood: I miss hanging out with Scape all the time, and the times Payton and I were togethor as fawns, not sure of the feelings that would pull us togethor like leaves in the current of a river...I miss the feeling of a big, connected community: I still see it now and again...but for sad things, not happy ones. Maybe it was that desire that set me off trying to do a service nightly. It worked well last night: there weren't many of us, but we had a good time. I would have been happy to have that again tonight.

At first, I figured, well, not many deer were on, but they could get on soon...I don't know who I was fooling. Magnet did a very good job of keeping my company: the two of us waited in the ruins, calling out to deer who, I guess, decided not to listen. I'm hoping that those few found better things to do, rather than there being a misunderstanding. But these things do happen, I suppose... I waited for 10 minutes or so, and when no one other than Magnet or I showed up, I decided I would just walk back to the bridge.

In lighter news, I watched birds near the deermuda today: I liked the feeling of their little claws on my antlers, the bustle of their come and go...there's a poem in there somewhere, I'm sure. I notice that many of the animals in the forest are like the deer who live here...

I'll try tommorow, I'll try tommorow...

((Maybe I should try a different time...))

I'm so sorry, I was the fawn

I'm so sorry, I was the fawn who was following you around at first. At least, I remember seeing your pictograph and two stags at the ruins. If I had known it was for something like that I would have stayed longer. And I was a little excited when I first saw the thread for events and everyone was talking about "services." Being the youngling I am I didn't know what those were and wanted to watch. I wish I could be there tomorrow night but it's looking like I won't have internet for the rest of the week. So instead I'll wish you the best of luck: may you have many happy gatherings in the future.

Pega: I think it might be

Pega: I think it might be the time. I notice that at certain hours every night, there's hardly anyone around, but at those same times on the weekend or something, there're more deer on. (Insomniacs notice these things.)

Well, you planned it at 4 am

Well, you planned it at 4 am in my timezone. By that time, many people are dreaming about TEF in their own beds ^^; So I think it was just the time, don't worry Eye

I wanted to go again, but

I wanted to go again, but the time is just.. hard to do. I know 12 am is a lot easier to deal with then 4 am, but it still seems impossible to make it every night like I'd like to :/. As much as I loved the last service I went to, sleep won out over fun last night.

The forest these days seems so empty and lonely to me, it's been ages since I've seen a familiar picto in the forest without having planned a meeting. It seems like everyone is disappearing, it's making me so depressed and lonely. I was very excited when you started these services again, though, because I was hopeful it might bring up activity and cheer me up. I think with a little tweaking, they can work fine. Maybe we could even work it so that every day of the week has a different time for the meeting, so people from different places can join in more easily.

Damn, I was totally there to watch the fun but had not intended to join in.

Next time I will.
