_{cue my old fashioned ways again making a bio on the tef site}

Came into existence on the little hill, once again I'm intersecting with someone else, sorry!

And oh, I'm a proper stag now!

Look at my antlers!

Last night I tried to come here but I guess the server was down, there was no connection and the forest was empty. But tonight everyone's here again and I met someone who was awake.

https://imgur.com/4qGYOLf

They cast a bunch of magic on me and now it doesn't wear off!

There were other deer around too, I thought this was Saater from the pelt but that's not their glyph I don't think. There was a faun running around at some point too but I didn't get to see them up close.

We had a bunch of fun, there was a lot of running and frolicking.

Managed to get another mid-leap selfie.

Tried on the red pelt myself!

I don't think I've seen anyone who's a mini-deer like this before. I guess that's a new mode since I was here long ago. Looks cool!

Investigating the rock structures.

Here we look like one long deer intersecting a tree haha

Resting for a few moments.

It's good to see a bunch of deer around.

https://imgur.com/6ILW6ZS

We went to the water fountain where I became a frog and they were a crow.

https://imgur.com/wvmVsSi

We tried a second time and they were a bunny and I was... a frog again lol.

They looked way cuter than me.

Then it was time for me to head back to the little hill, to sleep. My companion cast some cool antlers on me, which I can retain now that I am grown up!

Thank you for spending time playing with me! It has made my first day as a grown stag a lot of fun <3

Time to chill on a Friday night so I thought I'd take a walk.

I came into existence snuggled up to another deer who was already on the hill! It made for a pretty picture but I hope they didn't think I was being inappropriately familiar.

https://imgur.com/UAT6GGy

what a pretty configuration they have!

https://imgur.com/ruNKkv1

I met another deer who was awake, and we exchanged hellos and pleasantries (at least I hope all mine were pleasantries, I still haven't fully mastered all the postures yet and I don't want to accidentally send one that's insulting).

https://imgur.com/66mf05S

I stopped at the water fountain for a bit and tried out the bindings on my f-keys in a place where I wasn't near any other deer and where I therefore couldn't either accidentally upset them or randomly turn them into something by pressing the wrong button. At least now I know how to do a greeting-bow without having to fiddle with the icon menu.

Suddenly a flower that looked like an opium poppy appeared out of nowhere. Its stem passed through my body, impaling me to the bottom of the pond. Red particle sparkles emitted from the top of the flower.

If this'd happened while I was at work on a Tuesday it would have really freaked me out, and probably hurt quite a bit too. But here, in the Forest, it wasn't so alarming. Weird things tend to happen around this fountain, I have noticed, even if you don't drink the water. Once a statue fell out of the sky here. Once I saw a fish swimming through the air.

I managed to take a picture, and the flower was gone afterwards, and I was unharmed.

Some places are particularly pretty; I like the places where I can almost lose myself in the flowers. These graphics may be ancient but there is still a real beauty in the landscape. You can tell it was put together by artists.

I came into existence today to find it was foggy in the forest.

https://imgur.com/RkDxlNa

I dallied in the ruins a bit, poking around. Looked into the pit here, although it seemed a bit scary. There's someone asleep here.

https://imgur.com/FtondlJ

And these guys are often sleeping here when I exist. I guess we all have our own perception of time, here. My evening walk time is nap time for many. Most, tonight, it seems.

https://imgur.com/uyaD2DF

I need some of those blue flowers for my antlers. Oh, wait. I don't have any antlers yet. I guess my ears will have to do.

https://imgur.com/G3VjB6J

The forest looks different in the fog. Like the trees are floating. I don't remember there being as much weather here, in my past existence.

https://imgur.com/EMc4Rzv

The light makes everything look different, in the fog.

https://imgur.com/96EyB8Q

Oh hey I met you the other night, I love your horns and pelt! Nice to see you again!

https://imgur.com/pIkT9b4

I should take a walk around and look at some of the other deer who have found themselves here. I'm shy, I'll try to be quiet, I don't want to seem like I'm nosy.

Oh I don't think I've ever seen anyone with a null glyph before!

https://imgur.com/KHTYqA6

There's a couple of deer by the waterfall. Let me just get a bit closer so I can see their glyphs. I should learn people's glyphs.

https://imgur.com/5vBOPGt

AAH I woke you up I'm sorry I'm sorry

https://imgur.com/7nTvkL8

But you were kind and polite and we exchanged pleasantries. It was nice to meet you .

The mist certainly lends a different vibe to the place

https://imgur.com/XRSerNF

I guess everyone finds a favourite spot to sleep, just as I do on the little hill near the ruins.

https://imgur.com/GQkheNl

Amongst the blue flowers is not a bad place for it.

https://imgur.com/IN5M1fn

Quiet night tonight.

I thought I'd try taking some panoramic views of my walk in the Forest this evening.

https://imgur.com/a/0kKnwQq

Asleep on the little hill. I like how you can see all the distant shafts of light shining down.

https://imgur.com/a/uDj03jR

Awake! Time to have a wander.

https://imgur.com/a/uCmV4wf

Always good to spend some time sitting amongst the flowers.

https://imgur.com/mPjt2mq

Oh hey I can climb up here!

https://imgur.com/eLBgEsK

Wait did I just turn into a frog??

https://imgur.com/mnf8qvu

what happens if I pray here? And wait is that another new fawn?

Oh hi, nice to meet you! Excuse me trippin' balls back there!

https://imgur.com/lExx06B

Yay, I met someone else new! I love those horns and that fancy pelt! Very handsome!

https://imgur.com/DnfhtMz

Am I inside the tree, or is the tree inside me?

https://imgur.com/cjVm48W

We ran around in dizzy circles! Thank you for taking time to play with me!

https://imgur.com/l2XLAnD

Was about to head off to sleep but then I bumped into Saater! Yay! So happy to see them again!

https://imgur.com/2psUqNq

We ran around like fools leaping and running and Saater cast new horns on me. I like these ones!

https://imgur.com/32BCr9j

These antlers are nice too. Look at me all standing up on my back hooves like I'm a big stag lol

https://imgur.com/52X6UCN

I had a good time. It was nice to meet some new deer and especially nice to see Saater again!

https://imgur.com/VK2EGWT

Good night! I hope I'll see you again soon!

Came on for my evening walk tonight, nobody awake so I just played in the flowers

https://imgur.com/a/NTHveEr

got inside this big old tree

https://imgur.com/fxgSA0n

hey I can eat these mushrooms!

https://imgur.com/WD3SVWm

there's other deer around but I'm kinda shy so I just walk by quietly, don't want to disturb 'em..

https://imgur.com/m2MBv2r

took a few goes but got a selfie of me jumping over the stream near the waterfall..

https://imgur.com/ExDq7YJ

oh hey someone's here but they're praying, not gonna interrupt THAT moment...

https://imgur.com/d39Q2Ey

boy those antlers look kinda scary!

https://imgur.com/s2DqP2P

maybe I'll just sit down on my little hill and go back to sleep

https://imgur.com/REVVo1K

wait no I am not alone that's Widmung casting magic on me!

https://imgur.com/Bh47hed

And Eris too! (I am learning to recognise some glyphs and other deer)

https://imgur.com/klbCgpx

Frolicking ensues. And whereas I felt alone and shy now I feel happy and I have a big smile.

https://imgur.com/bckoTU1

I think this is the most deer I've ever been close to at one time.

https://imgur.com/JRKYDo6

And a lovely end to my forest time today. Thank you Widmung and Eris for spending time with me, and for the magic and frolics.

https://imgur.com/ppXQsWA

Out for my nightly run in the forest and I bumped into Widmung and Saater again!

https://imgur.com/a/cHa3QaT

Got so much magic cast on me, made me laugh to see the different outfits!

Widmung you look so like Mari Lwyd!

https://imgur.com/Apr5Mdm

Whole bunch of running around and silliness. Made me smile a lot. Why is this so fun haha

https://imgur.com/IesDlnE

Horns that are actual horns

https://imgur.com/undefined

Yaay, purple is my favourite colour!

https://imgur.com/undefined

Tried to get some nice pics of the three of us but things were moving pretty fast haha

https://imgur.com/agmvV1C

ahah some of these outfits are bonkers

https://imgur.com/C7DXAgJ

A nice pic with the two friends together.

https://imgur.com/x1iNZUd

And finishing sitting together on my favourite little hill.

I am glad I found this place again!

I was dozing on my little hill and was awoken by Saater and Eris. There was much running and leaping (I found I can run really fast!).

https://imgur.com/a/qf6inEv

They used more magic on me and I enjoyed the different looks. Especially the different horns, they were funny!

We drank at the water fountain and I became a squirrel for a while. Then they became birds. So many birds there!

https://imgur.com/a/HPUoVsW

And a bunny

Thanks for waking me! And I hope I will see you again soon
