Being here, ghost-like

February 27, 2013 - 6:56pm — Sheika
Sheika had been in the forest for more than four years.
Silently watching over the ghosts of her loved ones. Being too shy to talk or even to whisper.
Seeing newborn, playful fawns. Old, weary deers. Strangers coming and going.

As time passes, memories fade away.
New, unknown names, lights, appear in front of her.

Like a ghost, she was constantly watching over... something. She could not grasp it.
The miracle that is 'life' and 'death'.

She wants to live. Live to the fullest. Roam the playgrounds of her early life.
Listen to the new voices, accompany unknown souls once more. Not being a ghost, a phantom of the old-growth forest anymore.

The Diary of Seed, 2-23-13

I'm such a fool. Such a fool. A fool. A fool.

Let me start at the start. The start? Where would that be, you ignorant sap? Where do you put the start, huh?
I love her. That is the start; like any good start, that decides the end. The end is that she's gone, like Payton before her...And I'll likely never see her again, not in flesh and not in truth. I knew this would happen. This is why I never wanted to be in love with her; this is why I never said anything.
Fool that I am, it changed nothing.

And so the end is I sat among the flowers, weeping like a child. I buried my head among the flowers, and I wished I was never born a deer. I wish I had never seen deer running, because then...Then she'd have gone through her life happily, never having known that I existed. I'd have never known of her. All my feelings would have had another end.
Take me back, blossoms. Take me back. Let me abandon all this petty social existence to the tracking of seasons with my sap, the endless waiting for spring -- but a spring that comes! A spring that will always return (I could have waited forever, if I had the hope, of a certainty one day)... Let me abandon heatache for the softly-scented world and the certainty of shuffling with the wind in my leaves. Please. Please. Let me rot and devour me.

Leaves and flowers fall off my antlers in droves, flash-freezing in a private winter.

Deer wandered by; I wanted them to leave, and tried not to engage them much. They indulged me, and left...Still, I felt it was too crowded. Too public, too intrusive. I went to de drinkplaats, where very few deer go, for one reason or another, and hid myself in the fountain.

Reed came to see me. I...I didn't want him to see. He must have snuck up on my while my head was down. I didn't want anyone to know. Be a squirrel, make him think it's OK... Plunge my face in the water, taste the magic running onto my tongues, pretend that the wet spots on my cheeks is simply water...

How do you play The Endless Forest?

The title basically says it all, haha. ': D I'm just curious to know how different people play this game as there really isn't any one fixed way to enjoy of the Forest.

Do you normally play TEF while role playing on an instant messenger with another player(s), or do you have community site open while in-forest to update your deer's bio in real-time and perhaps rp in the comments, or do you play old-school without any kind of verbal communication, and if so, do you imagine in your head what your deer and the other deer are discussing about? Or in some other way?

Please, share me your playing experiences! : )

Return to the Forest

Oh my, has it really been over two years since my last visit in this wonderful forest? Not good, not good at all.

First days in the Forest

Everything is confusing and intimidating, the older Deers seems to not pay attention to us, the little ones, I can understand why, or at least I like to think I do. Most of the Fawns probably don't even stay in the Forest, so, why bother...?

Sometimes, the Older ones cast a spell on us and change our skin... They laugh or just keep walking. I like to play around with them, I take most of the gestures pleasantly. Specially when they salute at me, with a delicate reverence, or more.
When they gather in a circle of mushrooms and sit so majestically, with their long horns, their skull masks and pretty flowers on their fur; I just stay near by to look at them. I don't know if they will like to have me around...

I don't like to rest alone, I usually walk around until I find a Older Deer sleeping, and cuddle a bit with her or him. It's curious how the magic works when I am that close to another creature.

I hope everything gets better at the Endless Forest..

Hahah, I will delete this post a bit later, but I just wanted to say that the deer in-forest have been incredibly cute and interactive today. I've never gotten a change to play Vier as much as today, thank you all! <3

Done! Thank you.

Hey, guys. This is my first time posting on here, even though I play TEF on an almost daily basis.

Anyway.

I'm looking for someone to help me get a pelt. The great argus pelt, to be exact. The set in my icon was my main look for quite a while, but one time the game crashed and I was reduced to default...

I'm in-game at this very moment. I'm waiting on the stone bridge next to the pond.

I have real deer antlers, real deer mask, and default pelt. Here's my picto: http://taleoftales.com/TheEndlessForest/register/pictogram.php?username=...

Cheers.

Aaaaaah thank you thank you thank you so much. I wish I had a way to repay the lovely players that helped me. ;w; aaaaa you're all so wonderful. <3
