Beau (for whom the bell tolls)
aka Beauregarde

Gender: male
Species: unicorn
Age: yearling
Size: #16 on the size chart

A moody unicorn yearling, recently reincarnated into the Forest. He's easily camouflaged beneath the shade of the trees, courtesy of his shadowy pelt. He's at his teenaged prime, extra angsty and aloof. He moves like a bullet between dark patches of the forest, and from the center of his forehead pierces a narrow, blade-like horn.

He is cursed to share a thousand lifetimes with Knife Princess. This is just one of them.

He seems both aware of his predicament and displeased by it. Though he has no memory of his past lives, he knows this to be the next in his nigh-endless chain of subsequent reincarnations. Beyond this unusual wisdom, he is a regular teen — quiet and somewhat distant, especially from strangers. He prefers to stick with those he knows.

He isn't the most social, but he seems to have integrated into the Forest quickly in the short time he's been here. He spent his foalhood being raised by Missy, and she is the closest thing to a mother he has. When he isn't laying close to someone he knows, he can be found resting on the bridge.

Ungh. Whu. Unf.

*wakes up* uuh. What the... where am I?



oh man these rocks are *cold* And hard. How did I...

oh yeah I remember now... bits at least... it was raining confetti... deer were dancing and I was bumbling about trying to climb up here and I almost fell down and then... I don't remember...

man... must have been something in that candle smoke... I gotta get myself home.

*stumbles slowly across the forest, wondering if it'd've been better to call a taxi*



unf. zzzzz.

Returning after 11 years

Wow. I almost couldn't believe it when I guessed my password right. But here I am! I doubt anyone here now remembers me, but I was an avid uses here a decade ago. Not sure if I'll stick around for a long time, but if you see me in game or happen to recall me, let me know! I've kept up with rping on other platforms, and maybe I'll even pick up my old character for some writing!

That was the most adorable welcome into the forest we've ever experienced XD

You all are so sweet, thank you! I wish i had grabbed a few screen shots but we were
so busy having fun jumping and dancing and celebrating with you. You made my day !

Please introduce yourselves if we haven't yet met, and i look forward to spending time with you all again

Esther Rance

Easter and I'm trippin' balls

At least that's how it seemed at times. Surreal evening in the forest haha

I hope you have all had a lovely peaceful holiday. Here a week of rain gave way to a lovely sunny day, with fluffy clouds, fluffy and very relaxed sheep and even a couple of Easter bunnies passing through. I spent part of the afternoon just dozing with my woolly companions.



In the evening I thought I'd poke my nose into the forest and upon instanciating I was greeted with a colourful particle shower. I do love my particles so this pleased me.



New flowers tall as trees were growing everywhere, adding to the surreal atmosphere, making me feel like an ox-ram-deer-thing transported into some 1960s psychedelic rock band's album cover. I paused to rub against a giant dandelion.



I wandered around for a bit and bumped into Petaldance and Valaire and things got incrementally weirder. I felt like there ought to be a soundtrack of early Pink Floyd and the scent of some recreational herbiage! Fortunately all I'd had was a cup of tea.



They blew giant bubbles that wobbled up into the sky. I was laughing at how daft and lovely it was and we frolicked around for a bit.



The rocks nearby were covered in candles, and there were a bunch of other deer sitting up there. I attempted to join them, failing again and again to negotiate the geometry, and I am sure the other deer must have been laughing at my attempts to climb up. I made it up there in the end haha.



And there I am now and shall remain until I head off to bed, happy to be in such pleasant company. <3

Finally some deer time

Oof, mad few days IRL. Last minute prep for a software release, but it's done now and I even don't think people hate it. Deer time. I instanciate and I'm rudely intersecting two other deer on the little hill. Sorry about that!

And hey it's night time in here.



I don't think I'm awake for more than 30 seconds before I am greeted by other deer. That's lovely.



I'm still in my peculiar pyjamas from last time I was here a few days ago. I kinda miss my proper horns. But hey it sure is nice to turn up after days of absence and immediately be in such lovely company.



Everybody sitting on the log. I must practice and perfect that move myself one of these days lol



then we went to ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE RED DEER WITH SCARY ANTLERS AND NO PICTO. This fella is certainly what we Brits would call "an absolute unit".



Dancing ensues to try to wake the big guy up. Do we wanna wake the big guy up? He's massive!



Here we are lined up by the big fella. An imposing presence and no mistake.



Big lad's asleep though despite our din so we reconvene at the ruins. And someone's given me my ram horns back, thank you! And my pelt. I'm feeling more myself. Ramly. Perhaps I ought to start baaing.



More dancing ensues because we're all daft as brushes, and there's a new skeletal arrival.



We decamp to the twin statues and there is an outbreak of glowing holy purity.

Sneepful Diary

I decided to make a little thread I'll update every time I'm on the forest since the original one I made doesn't really have room for that lol

If you haven't noticed me online: I'm shy and busy, but whenever I am online I take a lot of screenshots,
just a bit ago I found my deer's long lost father... this pictogram is almost *identical* to mine, and I thought it was, but its very slightly different, I took a screenshot, tabbed back in, and they're gone,


Cya dad.....

I'm gonna keep exploring and snooping till I've had my fill.

808 State and distant mooing

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.
