In which I don't know what I'm doing

Uh, hello *w*

I've been a member of TEF for a couple of months but haven't been brave enough to do anything but lurk around the forums until now. I didn't log in for quite a while because I was busy with other stuff but now I've really got back into it again.

You can see my deer in my avatar there. He's got a secretary bird pelt, no mask and currently purple flowers on his antlers. Smiling If you want a closer look at my picto let me know. Either that, or you'll recognise my deer from the... ahem... interesting way he travels. Running too fast, stopping too quickly, and landing on his face. Yeah, navigation isn't my strong point (I also get lost a lot XD).

I'm considering making my deer into an OC (well, I think I already unconsciously have). His name's Fieran, made from a sort of mix-up of the letters in the source code of his picto. Clumsy, timid, awkward. Half the time I slip into his character without realising while playing (or maybe that is just me!). I'm drawing him at the moment, though I've never drawn a deer before so I don't know how good it'll be!

My deer was sleeping near the big oak last time I was logged in (I don't leave TEF running in the background, so I guess he just disappears when I logout?). But either way, last time I was logged in, there were two deer there who played with me and then greeted me when I logged back in again after a short break, and it felt nice to be greeted, so thank you ;w; I have a screenshot of them if anyone wants to know if it's them.

Sorry, I'm rambling X'D Nice to meet you all!

I didn't really know what to put in my blog so I hope this is OK ;^;

Welcome to the forest I'll

Welcome to the forest Smiling I'll be sure to have my doe Shadow come up and say hello if/when she sees you around

Hi there, bit of a lurker

Hi there, bit of a lurker myself. I try not to be though, I figure if I force myself to interact with people I'll get over my social weirdness and insecurities.

Anyway, nice to meet you. Smiling

Hello there! Don't be

Hello there!

Don't be nervous! Many of the deer in the forest are very friendly. The ones who seem to be hostile are just acting out their character (: Most deer will realize whether you're in or out of character.

I definitely am. I'm

I definitely am. I'm beginning to understand more how things work too. Smiling I recently got chased away from an area by another player and thought maybe I had done something wrong, but I've been exploring the forums and realised that there are a lot of RPs going on and so things like that may happen. Fieran spends a lot of time cowering anyway so I hope people will accept his apologies if he's stumbled in on an event!
