Have you ever met Anzel in the forest...?

Anzel's picture
Anzel: You probably have all heard of me by now. My name is Anzel. Some call me the Ghost Deer, Blackhoof calls me Nirish...I feel that Ghost Deer fits quite well.

I flicker in and out of social existence in the forest. I fear that many believe me to be rude or impolite. This is not true, you must trust me. I cannot see you. And if I can, you may not see me. But it is rare that either happen, it all depends of the desires of the Twin Gods.

I query...who all has 'met' me in the forest? I know I've seen many of you in the forest...or, at least, your pictograms. But how many of you have seen me?

And if you met me...what was it like?

Did you already know my Human, and follow me? Did I appear peculiar to you, possibly lacking set or some movement?

Or did you query as to why I completely disregarded your existence, thinking me a shallow, arrogant deer?

I'm curious. Is there any way that you can think of for me to show respect to the many deer who know not that I experience this...ghostliness? I feel so bad at times, knowing I may have offended some.

Excluding sitting on Sleeper, the deer with the pictogram like a deer, who transformed himself into a dove.

I loathe doves.

They are cruel.

I thank you if you've taken the time to read this, and I thank you more if you respond. I want to know how the other deer feel about me.

I am off to rest in the forest a while, to see if I might catch the scent of some others anytime soon...

I think our paths may have

I think our paths may have crossed at some time but I'm not really sure...There's a deer with a very similar picto so I may be getting you two mixed up. (I apologize in advance if I am.)

From what I can recall (it's been awhile), things seemed fairly normal. And you seem really nice on here, so I don't know why anyone would think you're rude.

Anzel: If you had seen the

Anzel: If you had seen the real me a few months ago...you would have seen a young, shy fawn, with purple flowers upon her head, who bowed to other deer she saw which may or may not have been there.

If you saw me at another time...I would have been cladden in the Nightfall pelt, Hand mask, and Key antlers.

I am unsure I'd seem normal to anyone...unless, of course, I was simply sitting or sleeping.

I would seem rude simply because no matter how hard you would try, I wouldn't respond to you. Because I wouldn't see you. You could bow to me, dance, moo. I wouldn't hear or see you, or even know you could see me.

Hmm i've never seen you

Hmm i've never seen you Anzel but i want to! SO very badly!

I've come across a few shy

I've come across a few shy fawns. There's a chance that I may have saw you then but didn't know it was you.

I personally never thought that deeply into it as to interrupting it as being rude. I just shrugged it off thinking maybe you were just really shy or were having a bad day.

You already know I've seen

You already know I've seen you multiple times before. The first time you were in default, the next few times part of your set, and then one time when it was raining and there were mushrooms you were in full set. Haven't seen you since. Though I spotted your picto on the map or on teh border briefly since then.
Whatever deer is active would follow you around in hopes that you could see them. But I knew you couldn't, so they didn't think you were being rude.

I met you once after I heard

I met you once after I heard about your plight. You paid me no mind, but I soom realized you couldn't see me at all. Pepokeen started following you around with me, and when you ran over to the Twin Gods you poofed into the devout pelt and it stuck! Later we sat next to you at the playground. I was hoping maybe you'd catch a glimpse of us if we followed long enough... but alas, it was not the case.

Fen: I haven't seen you yet, but I would like too.. I'm really curious what it will be like!

Yes I have seen you, with

Yes I have seen you, with both my deer's. You were wearing your full set, and at some point a permanent devout pelt which we saw you get at the twin gods statue. What was special to me, is that we could hear and see you cast a spelt, but the sound of it dissapeared into space, because noone got it.
We tried to get close-ups of you. Auge had been stalking you with Walter, she could see you weren't happy but was trying to make the best of it. I think she admires you a bit for that.
Seele was at the point where everyone was sitting with you. He could feel everyone wanted to play with you, but they knew it was impossible and they just tried to keep you company.
My deer see yours as special, hard to keep up with too. (they're so slow XD) They could see every movement, there was no lack at such.

I think the first time I

I think the first time I ever saw you moving was when the mushrooms and rain were around. A few other deer were walking with you too. You were moving around a lot-- I thought maybe things were working. You had on your blue set with the key antlers... I don't think I've ever seen you with the deer mask. There was at least one other time I saw you too (near the ruins?), but I think you were a default deer.

I saw you once. You were running, and I followed you for a while until you went to the birch forest and went to sleep. You were in full set, I think. Smiling

*giggles at the 'my deer'

*giggles at the 'my deer' comment* I used to. Dial-up. Is. HELL. I got a maximum of 3kb/sec...normally around 2.5 kb/sec, ONCE IN A WHILE 3.6 OR SO KB/SEC. I tried to download TEF a year ago, but I couldn't even download the whole file after waiting 2 hours. <<; I gave up.

Then, the phone lines 4 feet underground froze due to New York's icy, frozen, wet winter. So we had to get satellite.

And a connection ranging from 6 kb/sec to 106 kb/sec...it was like heaven. The requirement 'fast connection'...I believed I passed. Why?

Because dial-up makes ANYTHING seem like a cheetah that's high on caffeine.

<<; Sorry, heh. My problem is that my connection isn't as fast as it seems to me after having had dial-up for many, many, many years. It's sooooooooo close to being fast enough ;-; I wish I could at least -occasionally- communicate with other deer.

I've seen Anzel! It was one

I've seen Anzel! It was one of those times when a bunch of deer were following you. At first I thought that you were finally able to connect properly and got all excited, then I noticed that you didn't seem to respond to the antics of those around you and realized that you still couldn't see us. Sad
