Weather and work continue to be unusual, intense bursts of trying to debug something with someone on a different continent interspersed with periods where it's just too nice to be inside so I go outside and take pictures of sheep in the sun <3
Got to be away at the weekend so I wanted to at least poke my nose in the forest first.
Instanciate, is anyone around tonight?
I take a little walk to the fountain. I'm home alone so I can blast out some tunes tonight so I stick on some 808 State.
I'm browsing in another window when amongst the electronic beats I think I hear mooing. I shift my focus to the forest and assume the Listening Stance.
And yes, there is definitely mooing. I can hear various moos back and forth. And so I moo myself, even though I am not a cow. (Yaks are unable to moo, hence their Latin name "bos grunniens", the grunting ox).
Nonetheless, I moo.
And before long, I am not alone.
We all gather and moo vigorously at a bunch of deer who are sleeping below a willow tree. There really is quite a lot of mooing.
In between all the mooing there is of course time for more frolicking, with which I join in enthusiastically. A day without frolicking is a poorer quality day than one with copious frolicking, I believe.
We return to the willow tree and re-moo. Vigorously.
Someone transformed me and although I do like those horns (I do love a nice pair of horns) and I think they look smart with the dark and striped pelt, nonetheless I think I shall revert to my normal ram/deer/ox self...
...when I wake up, next time I am in. But for now I am off to bed in my smart new livery.
See you all again soon! And thank you for spending time with me. <3
haha, here i was, refreshing
i was sad i didn't catch you last time, i'm glad i got to see you tonight!!
it was me who was the mysterious pelt-switcher! (white deer, long mask, candle antlers) <3 i love the little stars on the dark pelt. i'm glad you weren't upset, it was all playful on my part! not sure who switched the horns though haha.
i didn't know Yak's didn't moo!! that's actually a super cool fact!!
thank you for posting your awesome shots as always Yak, i really do look forward to your posts!!
I REALLLY love the 7th photo, because the pose that Valaire, Atlas, and Eris are in is really really cool!!! absolutely love the action you manage to capture <3
edit to add: the deer we were mooing at under the tree were Fjara, Eris, and Culver!! Eris woke up, Fjara (koi pelt) and Culver (fawn) unfortunately were too sleepy tonight <333 we were trying to wake them with the mooing hahaha

Yay another diary post!!
It was so lovely seeing you again! And the mysterious antler caster was Atlas!
My absolute favorite screenshots are the ones where you're looking at the camera oh my gosh, especially the fifth one. Your character looks so absolutely adorable with the owl mask, I don't know why and if it's just me, but to me it looks like they're smiling and it makes me so happy!! <33
And yeah sadly the sleepy koi was living up to his title!
Love the Yak facts you've
Unfortunately, I've literally slept through this encounter so thank you all for sharing screenshots, it's very fun to see what was happening while I was off in the dreamworld lol <33

forever sleepy
Ah yes, I've bumped into you
Glad that you enjoyed the pics and silly comments! I totally enjoy posting them up after a session.
I'm away for the weekend but hopefully I'll see you back in the forest soon!

Lovely to see you again too!
Ah so Atlas gave me the antlers? It can be hard to tell who cast what when everyone's doing things all over the place and I'm trying to get screenshots too. And of course I don't mind if people cast stuff on me, I have my main set saved and it's always fun to see a different appearance.
And yeah owl mask does look cool, it looks interesting without making my character look any less ramly. I think it's funny I ended up being a ram, given that I live with 6 rams IRL haha. They would approve I am sure.
I also like the natural deer mask too (as Saater drew me in that lovely pic he did in my sig) and would be happy to wear either of them, I think they both fit, the owl one unexpectedly so.
I really like your set BTW. Very different and distinctive, no mistaking who it is when I see you! (And your picto fits so well too).
Looking forward to seeing you again!

haha I love the mooing. If I
I can be a mine of useless bovine information at times. And yeah I have decided that my yak in this incarnation should be granted the ability to moo, given how useful it is in the forest. Even if given my physical aspect perhaps by rights I ought to be baaing
Hope to see you in foresat again soon, conscious next time!
