Due to stress and family issues, I took a break. It's all good now, but i missed the forest.
I missed my newer deer growing up, and theyre all adults now. Penelope still needs a look, and a story, but I have no idea how to create her. I hope to find a suggestion or creativity spark, but I am still mentally tired. For now, she roams as a deer with only flowers atop her head.
I cannot wait to get back into the game afer this break, as this game is beautiful, as well as an escape. The community is a wonderful place as well.
Perhaps I'll get my sister to roam with me again too.

Nirnasha grew up, but he must wait til Halloween to get his mask.
I had a weird and realistic dream about him.

Heilong, my character, is becoming more developed.

Luna is happy as always.

How I've managed to hang around this long I'll never know lol

An old user by the name of Hal/Halogen showed me this game all those years ago, I think it was the old story of "they posted their art of their character on DA and so on".

TEF has been a rollercoaster with it's ups and downs throughout the years:
From nooby beginnings, thinking that players with the skull mask were staff or ingame moderators or something. When finding more than 10 players online was a huge crowd, having a minor coronary at a sudden weather change and then running around to try to find Michael ingame. Being disappointed when discovering that the BAN pelt doesn't stick...

Peacocking unsuspecting sleeping deer..and eventually turning the whole forest into peacocks cos there used to be so few on.

When everyone suddenly went on an anthro design craze for about a week or two back in like 08...09 or around there.

iScribble I still have that huge crackrpthing that happened on there all those years ago.

Screenshot edits and screenshot dumps (why did these die???????)

The Yikes years of Ren being inforest. That's gotten to the point where I look back on it and cringe, there are a lot of things that I could have done better, even though I recognise this now I'd still never bring him back.

Taking a looooong break for a few years before hesitantly stepping back into the game because this game is the hotel california of games; you can log out but you can never leave

A huge thing was making amends with Vee after the Yikes Ren years, I was so nervous at first but I'm glad we did.

And finally I've made some of my closest and longest running friendships thanks to this game. Some have come and gone over the years but to those people (they know who they are B) ) I can't get over that it's been that long.

I like this nook. I think that sleeping deer is Jennie1.
This is the first time I've seen more than seventy deer about.

Figured i gotta practice character speech. Which i usuallu do fairly quickly with my other non tef ocs...well huh.
Somehow I'm having issues with this in tef because often they are rped nonverbally and when u do i have problems.

Well. You can ask them anything more serious or apropriate for the character.
They can have IC conversations with other ocs.
but you can also ask general quiestions like uhh... what's your fav colour.

Found a really nice rock to perch on. Dozed off with his head up high just to wake up...being woken up by a really manly looking deer (Nikhil) Panicked, instantly jumped back just to see that there was yet another (Shardul) there. They both seemed polite and all, but Zephyr was just an utter trainwreck and backed off instantly, circling around them just to see even more were around. He preffered the pair did not look at him so he proceeded to just avoid their stare by moving away and away, because he still feels all awkward about this new body, the forest everything. BUT they kept looking so he just...ran off.
And he stumbled right back at them. "OTL

Eventually moved off to the birch forest where he met a dog. Much better. A dog mutt (Fain), a bit closer to himself, a; not a thing he normally eats. Just asked some stuff because he felt a bit calmer about this whole deal.
Actually at first wanted to attack him but decided against it because dog probably tastes bad..."""
Asked him some stuff before going back a nearby tree to just...look at the forest. Blue dog was noted too. Too mellow for his taste though.
