Well it was dark at least, surprisingly so when I instanciated. I thought I even saw a bat, although I may have been imagining that. But it was certainly dark, and looked a bit nippy, and I wondered if I'd see any others awake at all on such a night.



No sooner had I started to wander the darkened forestthough than there was the sound of hooves and I was joined by Eris and Valaire.



Meeting-frolicking ensued, followed by a greetings-nuzzle. It's always so nice bumping into other deer in the forest, everyone's so pleased to see one another and joyous in greeting. If only humans were as welcoming and pleased to see one another. Mind you it's probably for the best that they aren't, imagine how chaotic it'd be in Basingstoke town centre if everyone was frolicking and nuzzling all the time. And glowing.



It is rather lovely though. Very shortly we were joined by Widmung and there was more leaping, nuzzling and glowing.



Followed by a not inconsiderable amount of circle-dancing. The previously chilly-seeming night was warmed by dancing, good company and all manner of good-natured frivolity.



Including the ever-popular interpenetrating with a tree, with which we all joined in with alacrity. It made me laugh to see a row of deer butts all sticking out of the tree with their little tails wiggling. I think that little tail wiggle is one of my favourite aspects of the deer animation.



Even amongst all this amiable silliness Valaire found a moment to look properly imposing with that long mask and those scary blood red antlers.



More dancing followed, and of course a bit more frolicking.

While I try to get the CSS sorted for the lady's old profile, I figured I'd post her here to get out back out there! I would love to rp if anyone has threads or... I'm not sure how it really works on here anymore tbh. I'm just eager to write and make some connections for her!

A unicorn stallion. As though exhaled by the forest, he was born from a shadow. His dark pelt warps and wavers when stared into for too long, like the watery reflections on the bottom of a pool, and his eyes shine in the darkness with their own jade light. The from his forehead pierces a horn, diamond-shaped and blade-thin and just as black as the rest of him. Young, handsome, and powerful — he's in the prime of his life and he knows it. He carries himself with a prince-like regality.

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. His connection to this realm is thinner than any he has treaded in previously — the forest is where he belongs to, and where he will always return, but he may travel through the worlds of others.

Beyond this unusual wisdom, he is a confident young stud! While he'll always be aloof, he's shed his former quiet nature and has become rather charismatic and outgoing. He communicates more with body language than with words, but on the occasion that he does speak, his voice is small and soft-spoken. He can usually be spotted resting on the bridge or in the water nearby, though he sometimes ventures to the Blue Bowl.

*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.

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

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

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.

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.
