Popped in last night to have a mooch around, wondering if I'd have another chilled stroll amongst the sleepers. Quiet at first, I wandered by the water and found an acquatic deer sleeping in the water.
Walking back to the little hill, thinking I'd sit down for a while, found Widmung sitting there who stood up just after I arrived. So I wouldn't be on my own tonight!
And shortly we were joined by P and... deer whose picto I absolutely have seen before and whose name I ought to know but the connection has slipped my mind. Sorry. There should be a directory for slow idiots like me to use to look names up haha.
There were a bunch of other deer sleeping near the ruins, and one group that were standing up but not really doing anything, which didn't bother the four of us who got on with a healthy amount of running about like fools and dancing.
During the proceedings I got to try on many different sets of pyjamas. Much to my amusement and that of everyone else. And I don't look too bad in different threads, given that my horns remain ramly.
And more dancing during all the dressing up lol
Plenty of magic flying around
lol look at me I look so cross, made P laugh haha
then you guys started stacking again, a skill I have yet to get the hang of, I think I must be getting the timing wrong. I'm usually fiddling about trying to click the emote icons in the menus, maybe I should get used to using the ones bound to the f-keys. (Are those configurable, or is the layout fixed?)
The resulting tower of deer was quite impressive, I had to take screenshots from the side and from behind to get a good look at it.
Eventually it was time for me to hit the hay so I headed back to the little hill and everyone came with me and sat with me a while which was a lovely way to end the night.
Thank you all for including me in your playtime, I enjoy it so much. Rediscovering the forest is one of the nicest things to happen to me this year and I am so happy to have met such a lovely bunch of deer there. I hope to see you all again soon! <3
Yak, It was my pleasure to
Your screenshots are always entertaining to look at! I'm glad that you are having a wonderful time with us! ^^
Thank you for another day of playtime, and I'll see you again in the Forest!

No idea why the alternate pelts feel like pyjamas, somehow they just do haha. Maybe it's because they are things that get put on temnporarily over my usual form. And usually at night, before I go to sleep, since that's when i am usually on!
And THANK YOU for the info on how to set up the f-keys! I'll definitely be using that to bind my faves. I've been quite slow at times to get to where i want to be using just the icon menu and that will help me a lot!
Diolch yn fawr! (that's Welsh for "thank you very much"). See you soon!

ahhhh i love brambles... a man after my own heart. and he has airpods in <3 (jk hahahaha)
he really does look like a shaved potato. its so surprising to me that you don't have deer there, where I live, Whitetail deer specifically are the most abundant animal in my state. they love getting hit by cars. but it just means im reminded of the forest often when i see deer grazing or crossing the road.
Panda giving hugs is the sweetest thing in the word- and the fact that you guys had a llama is so cool!!
Eris, i love the newt pic, and your koi is beautiful!! congratulations on becoming a parent to one million frog eggs LOL <3

Ah yes, Missy, I know I met
Likewise Jeweleye's picto got the nickname "Knight" because it looks a bit like a knight's helmet with a visor
Now I'm making a note of all these and adding the actual deer's name to each one as I learn them, to help me get the proper names into my ox-ram-deer-skull thing haha
We do have deer in Wales and the UK in general, of course. Unfortunately not whitetails, which is a shame because I think they look super cute with those enormous fluffy tails! But where I live it's mostly sheep and cattle farming territory, and whereas there are plenty of trees they tend to be at the borders of open fields rather than in the form of a forest, so we don't see a lot of deer locally. Which is a shame as I do love deer (I guess that goes without saying haha).
Each sheep has their own way of demanding attention and cuddles. Earlier today I had three of them at once importuning me - Brambles rubbing on my leg like a giant wooly cat, Panda pressing with his head doing his hugs, and Buster vigorously clonking my shin with his best horn which is his way of demanding cuddles haha
And yes Madam was lovely. Llamas have a weird kind of intrinsic grace. She was a queen and she knew it!
See you soon in the forest!

your picto already resembles a Y for Yak, and it could also resemble horns!! (although im sure you've already connected both of those already hahaha)
Buster nudging you with "his best horn" made me giggle. it reminded me of Scary Movie, where the guy has a very small hand, and he says "grab my strong hand!" i imagine Buster feels the same about his perfect nubbins <3
Yak, you are legally obligated to keep us updated on Buster's horn growth when there is some, i'm extremely invested in watching him become the biggest ram that ever lived. the TEF community is cheering him on so hard.
i love Madam, look at her eyelashes, her pelt looks sooo soft, and her tail is the cutest thing i've ever seen.... she looks like the sweetest, softest, prettiest cotton ball.

Yeah I can see the record
Buster's horns are growing really fast! I'll keep everyone updated. I think if he manages to keep them both he'll be a really interesting looking ram - one horn that is growing quite conventionally and one that is heading out in its own direction going who knows where!
I'm sure the asymmetry wouldn't win him any best of breed prizes, but who cares about anything like that. I think it'll just make him look even more super adorable and special <3
And yeah, Madam was beautiful. And in that picture she's a really old llama, an old granny in llama years, but look how beautiful and fluffy she looks, she didn't show her age at all, except maybe in her dentition if you looked closely. I only wish us humans kept our looks so well when getting older haha
Those eyes and lashes though. And that floofy tail. And that neck that she'd let you cuddle but *only* on her own terms when she deemed you worthy.
I miss her <3
Hope to see you soon in forest! (Where I am right now but nobody's conscious. So I'm practicing how to levitate and climb difficult rocks
