I woke up today thinking maybe after a long rest things might be different. Maybe I could find myself today, maybe even find a new pelt to compliment my mask and horns. I'd look very pretty in the Antelope pelt, don't you think? It's got a darker pattern than the Kabuki. But nobody wears the Kabuki pelt anymore, so if I can't find someone to help me that's fine. I can be comfortable in my uniqueness.

I raced all over the forest to find sleeping deer, but there always seemed to be nobody near by them to help. Finally, at the ruins, I crossed paths with a fawn. It was playing 'stuck in the cage' all by itself. Maybe it could help me? But it didn't. I tried greeting, asking it to follow, casting a mask spell to show it that I wanted some magic help... but it just ran off.

I was sad, so I found a deer to sit by. Peacock pelted deer are friendly, right?

This deer was just... standing by the big slab of stone at the ruins. It was almost setless, so I wondered if it needed help. But... the pelt I threw wouldn't stick! It had different antlers so I couldn't call it a nameless, so... I ran back to the sleepy peacock deer because I was confused.

A green pelted deer came walking by, rubbing every tree in sight. I thought I was in its territory or something so I got nervous... until I finally realized it was trying to find pinecones. Silly deer, they grow on PINE TREES! So after a couple attempts to find a pine that had ripe ones, I showed the deer where they were. They immediately began sneezing off built up magic... an array of spells, as if they couldn't make up their minds. Then they wanted pelts... my first pelt spell was a kabuki and it stuck to the deer just fine. So much for having a unique pelt. *sigh*

Then the peacock deer got up... and I got nervous and ran off to hide behind a tree. Then I peeked and it looked back at me so I ran away... found a nice place by the river to have a nap. I am such a nervous deer today.

So I managed to log on into the game earlier and was unpleasantly surprised that the pictogram I spent an hour+ picking out was not the one my deer possessed. I doubt I will be able to change that, so please excuse my account hop.

My new account is sirSour
Theoretically, my new pictogram will look like this (there's always ONE thing off)

I opened my eyes to a strange fog covering the forest. Standing slowly, I turned around unsure of myself. I could remember nothing before sleeping. I was... new? Timidly I walked towards the sounds of water, and frogs, but froze to a strange howling in the distance.

I shivered afraid, but saw a strange glow ahead and went to investigate. Under a tree I found one older than me, but they lay prone asleep. I lay next to them a while hoping for the warmth of another's fur. Eventually I stood, and walked away, through these darkened woods. Every one I found for a while was sleeping, until I came upon two standing stones. There many slept, but one away knelt to those stones, then turned. In a glow of magic my pelt turned white. I froze again, unsure of the strangeness, and bellowed once. The sound frightened even myself with it's volume, and I shook off my fear and turned to see where the older deer had gone, but I was too late! I was alone again, with those asleep.

I wandered still through the fog, over a strange bridge, and past two deer frozen together, like they had been rubbing affectionately. Eventually I came back to that swamp I had seen, but this time I was not alone. Here was another older deer, awake and moving.

I was so happy I stood nearby for their company, but they quickly turned and ran away. I wandered down the stream a little, to find another who did the same. I wondered then, if I was so strange, or unwelcome. I wondered if it was just the howls far off in the distance, or if they thought I was an apparition. Tired I curled under a nearby tree, to sleep once again.

Hey. I'm a new user at The Endless Forest.
I've downloaded the screensaver, launcher, and have registered for EF.
But, like others, I'm not getting the "confirm registration" e-mail.
I have looked for it in my spam folder, and have clicked the "get mail" button probably a thousand times. It has been almost seven weeks now. Should't I have gotten the e-mail?
I'm clueless about what I need to do to play. Can somebody PLEASE help me?
