That was creepy...

Rainflower's picture

Okay, it started with Yepa just standing by the pond, minding her own business.Then I noticed Saosin creeping up on her(Although, for some reason he was laying on the ground.)At first I thought it was lag, since I was looking away from the forest for a minute, so I made Yepa start walking away.Saosin followed her, still, but I still thought there was a bit of lag.I made Yepa run away from the pond.Sao was still following her.By then, Yepa was started to get frightened, so she kept running.Sao stood up and ran after her.She kept running, hoping he would leave her alone.He didn't.She ran though the forest a few times.He was still there.So she ran a while more.When he had seemed to stop, she took a rest, hoping that was the end of it.It wasn't.He was following her again.So she ran again.Another deer started chasing her then.When she stumbled, they caught up.Yepa started cowering and backing away.They bowed to her, which, for some reason, scared her more.So she ran again.They didn't seem to be following her, so I took her out of the forest before they changed their mind.I don't know if it was a glitch or what, but you both scared Yepa out of her wits, and she's now having nightmares about witch hunts =/

I am sorry. Yepa is such a

I am sorry. Yepa is such a kind deer also. She really didn't deserve to be treated like that. It's funny for a bit, but after a while it just becomes harassment.

Especially when she made it clear that she didn't want to be followed any longer. I am glad they realized it was bothering her when you cowered though.

I thought we were all just

I thought we were all just having a run together! It's not often you meet a group that can keep pace with you. Laughing out loud I did stop after you did the scared thingy but between then and the time I joined the chase you didn't indicate to me that you didn't wish to be followed?

I can't speak for Saosin or anything though.

edit: Why would bowing to her scare her more?

I'm not quite sure.She was

I'm not quite sure.She was just already scared, and she didn't know what was going on, so she got even more scared.

Calm down, it was all in good fun. I doubt it was meant as harassment.

What the hell? What Ephra

What the hell?

What Ephra said.

How could I know if your deer were scared or angry, when you didn't use any emotes at all, but just ran? Saosin hates when deer follows him when he doesn't wish for it, and he gladly stops following if told/asked to. That's why he stopped after she covered.

I was hoping you'd join in

I was hoping you'd join in with us! I did a few loop-di-loops trying to wrangle you all in. Sticking out tongue Oh well, I guess it ended up being a good thing I didn't convince anyone else to join in.

Yepa's mind work differently

Yepa's mind work differently than mine.She would have stopped and cowered but she was afraid you guys would catch her if she did.How was she to know if you meant harm or not?All she knew was that she was being chased, and she didn't like it.

Your deer's mind is

Your deer's mind is dangerously mixing with your own.
Just because your deer has odd behaviour and thoughts doesn't mean you have to try and send your friendly 'stalkers' on a guilt trip. :|

My two cents, feel free to slap me. |D

Neither of us made any

Neither of us made any aggressive actions towards her so why would she assume we meant to harm her?
Actually I'm not sure why that even matters, I wasn't roleplaying with you anyway. Sticking out tongue I think you'll wind up with a lot of confusion like this if you just automatically assume everyone you meet is 'in character.'

Mostly, I was just wondering

Mostly, I was just wondering what was going on.But I probably should have just gotten to the point and asked that XD

Well, no worries. This sort

Well, no worries. This sort of misunderstanding happens all the time, and one of the benefits of this community site is being able to clear it up. Smiling

Maybe on the next try Yepa will be more willing to lead a nice run, and deer who want to follow can introduce themselves first and stalk after? ^_^
