Yeah... that's why I'm leery of going near groups of deer clustered closely together; they're probably in their own world. :| Being chased off isn't fun, but the deer are just IC and doing their stuff I guess.

The stag's steps grew slower and slower, becoming more meandering instead of a purposeful stride. His eyelids drooped, and more than once he gave a longing look to some particularly comfy looking patches of long grass. The Birch Forest was the most pleasant in the evening, after a day of play and running.
Sniffing the breeze that blew past, he tilted his long ears forward in surprise.
'Desi? What's she doing out here?' he wondered in confusion. Interest perked, he increased his speed and ran through the tall grass, looking around for where his younger sister might be hiding. 'Something must have gone wrong...' Myszka fretted.

okay, lol, I just had to write Myszka's point of view there.

It is perfect! Thanks again for the picture! Everything about it is just so spot on, the pose, her antlers and mask and pelt.... <3 She looks like she's skipping. ^^ Oh and her mane and tail are so floofy! Thank you... : DD

Sorry for Myszka being so weird :| He was getting really nervous with the crowd of deer and the birth and the noisy fawns, and all.

Hmm, yes, I get it completely c: Some of the things that go on in the Forest are just wonderful (like those twins that were just born), and look like so much fun to arrange and participate in (lol, even if they're supposed to be planned fights or enmity) :')
Eventually, with enough writing and attention, you'll get really attached to Desi's character and who she is... but then it's hard to stay impersonal from goings-on of the Forest xD

Ha, yes! Not all of the time, but sometimes I just fall into Myszka's character. The other times I just let him stand by and do his thing, but sometimes I can't help but be happy when he is, or sad when he is. You don't sound crazy at all :3 Yes, some of that makes me wonder too- that deer are going around and having fawns or just generally getting together (well, it is spring after all xD). It's a little difficult for Myszka because of his preferences, and he's so generally wary of such things that I want to kick him. Badly.

Looks like you already found this thread, but you can really see that a lot of other people feel this way too ._. hah, it's almost funny in a way

I guess some people have characters that just are unfriendly by nature, even though their players aren't; I've met a few. It would be nice if TEF was a perfect little corner of the universe (not world, since I bet some aliens play this game; it's that awesome); but there are people here too who think they and their deer are too good to socialize with those younger or older or whoever. I've seen some people I thought were really nice act very shamefully torward a friend of mine that plays one of Myszka's closer relations and since then, I haven't seen that friend online while the aggressor still plays.
I sure hope Desi doesn't come into contact with anything like that. When a person's feeling down- they notice pairs more.

I don't know if it will help her- but Myszka enjoys sitting with deer who look lonely. If Desi tried that, maybe some of the emptiness of the Forest will go away :')

Guuuhhh what a danged loong speech, I'm sorry T_T I hope I didn't ruin your day.

And the new fawns are very cute :3 Myszka peeked in on them from a distance and saw them fooling around.

TEF is supposed to be relaxing, but often it's deer prove to be the opposite T_T Those poor little fawns must have been really muddled.

That would actually be better for me as well :3 I tend to check email more often than my tracks list, which gets overcrowded a lot. Mine's - gmail, since I forgot my previous email provider's password D:
