He tiptoes down the alley's darkened stairs and knocks delicately on the door. A small window slides open. Steely green eyes glare at him through unwashed lenses.

"You the new act?"

Yes, he whispers, and the window slams shut. Creaking with rust and boozy age the door opens to reveal a stocky fellow with Vulcan eyebrows and a shock of white hair styled carefully into the remnants of a pompadour. His suit reeks of sweat, of stale cologne and desperation.

--gray suit and smelly skin... what sort of place is this I'm in? I do not quite want to begin, but a good show I must give.--

"What did you say?"

Oh, nothing, nothing. Thank you.

He steps into the gloom and smoke, walks past the good-time girls in their tight dresses and the bad boys in their stringy suits. On the stage a young woman is writhing in an overstuffed armchair, tearing pieces out of her shirt while crying about her father. She doesn't skip a wail when the door slams shut and shakes another year's layer of dust onto the raptly-bored audience.

--candles here and liquor there, child crying in her chair, something falling in my hair, but a good show I must give.--

"Who the hell are you talking to, sugar?"

She's young, this strange creature who has placed herself at his side. Young and listless. If it weren't for her breathing she'd be just another doll on the shelf. Red lips, blue eyes, talons of a dragon on her tiny hands. A good strong breeze would knock her right off her stilettos and out of her dress. He's nervous now, can't look at her for fear of being lost in her affected femininity. She knows he's nervous. She smiles a wolfish smile.

Well, I would like to give my /huge/ thanks to most of the community here at TEF.

Why?

Because every time I go into the game, I never find myself alone, maybe from time to time, but someone always manages to come along and get me up. I have been given one of the best impressions from this community overall any other I've seen before. I never feel left out within the forest. So again, I am giving my thanks, and hope I can meet even more of you soon. =D

YOU CAN SEE OUR AMAZING DOODLES.

SO AT FIRST Density said she was HUNGRY AT COLD so I suggested an edible blanket. Didn't work out so we resorted to DOODLES.



So then somehow we ended up talking about On's face being ugly. Which, I must agree, because.. it really is.

Sablekat !88¡ says:
I REALLY WISh this thing had a zoom tool
Or at least On had a less ugly face. xD
Drache says:
xD
A face only a mother could love
Sablekat !88¡ says:
Well probably not even his mom. LOL
Drache says:
LOL.




And then she was hungry again.




On takes a dip in the pond and.. loses half his set. Then Raimundo and Laurette laugh at him like JERKS.


Sitka is bouncy


Sitka decides to make a pun and On is the BUTT of the joke HAHAHAHA GET IT


Oh my..

THERE ARE MORE but omg I didn't save them and I don't know how to view handwriting in my MSN history ;___;


SO Sitka lost her set somehow and tihs spawned:

1) What determines how/when candlers are lit?

2) I can't seem to turn quickly while galloping and this doesn't allow me to "aim" when flying! I can only run in a straight line before dropping. Turns are slow.. why?

3) What do other players see when you run around as a "genderless" avatar?

also..

Holding CTRL before taking a screen shot will get rid of the black border and command bar.
You can get rid of the glow by bumping nature detail down a notch.

Though I haven't created an account for her yet. 'xD I want to start playing her when I know I have enough time to enjoy of her first day properly and not any sooner. Perhaps tomorrow morning? Or, if not in the morning, at least some time tomorrow.

I think I'll name her Jun. Initially I considered naming her Droplet, though, but I think it might have had sounded too...I dunno, sad for her, so I'm inclining more to Jun. Besides I really like the name and I think it'd suit her better even though the name's usually perceived more masculine than feminine. ~ So, soon there's another new fawn skipping around in the forest. : D

Still, I'm a little worried how I'll manage to arrange time to play two deer, though *sigh* But oh well, it's another day's worry.

In Which Sitka has published a best-selling book and has to make the media rounds, and doesn't really understand what she's supposed to do. Nor does she want to.


"So, Miss... Sitka, is it? Miss Sitka, how are you today?"

Really, this stuff is understandable considering "How To Be HAPPPEEEE!" is selling like crazy, but goodness this chair is uncomfortable!

"Now, we understand that you came up with the book while you were sitting in a... mushroom circle? Tell us a little bit about your process."

Pro-cess? What is that? I just talk to deer and ask what they enjoy. I dunno what that has to do with pros or cesses or anything. I like other deer and they like me and then I asked a squirrel to write it all down. Then I had to have a frog translate it cuz I don't speak squirrel.

"What is this about your singing career? Are you planning on releasing a CD anytime soon?"

CD! I understand that! A-B-C-D-E-F... why is he looking at me like that? He's grumpy. I don't think he's read my book.

"I haven't read your book..."

AHA!

"...but people are hailing you as the next spiritual leader of the twenty-first century because of the simplicity of your steps to happiness and self-actualization."

Wha?

"How do you feel about being considered alongside such great leaders as the Dalai Lama?"

Dunno, but a llama doll sure sounds fun! I'm gonna go get one. Love love love.

"Miss Sitka, the interview isn't over. Where are you going? Oh, don't paw the floor and jump around like that, you'll ruin the carpet. Help! Security!"

It's insane how many social interactions can go on in the Endless Forest without the players talking to one another through words. In almost all online games, there is a way of chat, whether it is censored, limited, only available as a member, etc. Starting the game a month ago, I was really hoping it would be something that I would be able to get into since it seemed to be really interesting. As a fawn, I greatly did not want to wait a whole month to grow up but I figured I would get to learn a lot of things first from the furry community. I did not involve myself in the website at this point; I wanted to get to the know the game myself. The Endless Forest has endless opportunities of social experimentation and seeing as how I want to go into Psychology, this was a lovely sounding idea...
