Hello everyone!

[txtjjs]

I have just joined.  yay!  I am sitting next goom and teach and Marie.  Woo hoo!  So hello....I live in Houston.  Looking forward to learning more about you guys.   

[KitsuneMarie]

Hello, from 2 feet away!

JJ is a friend of mine from college, so how is it that I just now learned that he read Animorphs as a kid??? Yay, new RAFians!

[txtjjs]

I'm not sure how we have managed to go 7 years without knowing this about each other.  hahaha. 

P.S.  This is from slightly more than 2 ft away now...you are in the kitchen

[Terenia]

HI JJ! Welcome to the insanity that is the RAFcommunity. Thank you for adding to our Texas numbers; you will greatly help our efforts to take over the RAFworld.

 

Now, just be prepared to sacrifice your sanity to the Seal, and your soul to RAF. ^.^

[DinosaurNothlit]

<Hey, txtjjs.  Hehe, it's a good thing I have thought-speak, otherwise I think I would have butchered your name just now.  Anyway, I'm DinosaurNothlit, also known as Dino or DN.  I'm a frolis maneuver nothlit of Ankylosaurus and Tyrannosaurus.  It's a long story.  Anyway, welcome to RAF!>

<As the other RAFians you're with have probably told you, I'm coming to Texas in a week or so, so maybe I'll get to meet you!>

[Stephquiem]

Welcome to RAF! I'm Steph! Nice to meet you!

And bugger, why couldn't you've been 'round when I was in Houston last week?

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Welcome to RAF, I'm Jess, Jessi's better half.

We're glad to have you. 
Post Merged: June 19, 2011, 02:49:54 AM...and i'm apparently still douglass the pinetree. 

Well, in the AM when I get me some more motivation, I will return to being Kit Cloudkicker

[warren_bearclaw]

Suddenly, a large dark-brown bear enters the room. He snaps his head side to side, and over his shoulder, searching frantically, ... then he visibly relaxes, just a bit. He now appears gentle, and is curious about the newcomer. <Hello! I am Bear. Are you new here? Let me show you around!>

<This is the 'RAF Social' Board. We really get to know each other here. You've already introduced yourself, and you can also have your own Member Profile here, too!> The Bear lumbers back through the doorway, leading JJ into a hallway. There are many, many doors here.

<This door is the way to the 'RAF Projects' Board. Lots of RAFians work together on all kinds of cool stuff, like producing Animorphs audio-books and  "RAF: The Animated Series"! It's a really good show....> Bear moves over to another large door.

<Here is the 'Bored Board'. We play games and love to waste our time here! It's a lot of crazy fun. You should join us here!> Bear continues down the hall, speaking as he goes.

<These three doors are for the Animorphs Section. We discuss the books, TV show, and anything about the series in the 'Animorphs Forum'. The 'Animorphs Role Playing' Board is exciting! RAF always has active RPG's, and lots of cool players. I hope you like to Role-play as much as I do....> Bear's short tail wagged. <And we have some talented writers who share their 'Animorphs Fan Fiction & Art' in here. I like that room.> Across the hall, there is another set of three doors, side by side.

<That is the 'General Board'. We can talk about anything there... the weather, funny quotes, or anything you like! We also play all kinds of non-Animorphs RPG's in there, and we have way more neat stories and artwork in that last door.>

<Oh yeah! And there's the 'Media Area', where we talk about movies, TV, the news.... And we talk about 'Other Books' in that room!>

Bear sits on his haunches and looks at JJ. <It's a big place, but it's so much fun here! We're glad that you came. Tell us a few things about yourself here, and what species you are here.>

Bear begins to walk farther down the hallway, which opens into a thick green forest. He looks over his shoulder and says, <You'll see me around. Welcome to RAF!>

Just a split-second later, he sticks his head back around the corner. <Oh, and by the way... watch out for the crazy french lady. And whatever you do, do *NOT* go down the stairs. Trust me on this one.>


Sorry about that... there's this little competition between me and (mostly) this one other RAFian to see who can be the first to make an obscenely long introductory post in the newcomers' threads. So... you've been officially welcomed. (Take *that* Dameg!)

Anyways... Howdy! I'm Bear, in case you didn't guess. I'm also a Texas RAFian, and am glad to meet ya. Maybe I'll get to meet up with ya IRL when I come down in July? Either way, looking forward to getting to know you here as well.

[Blaise Zebrataur]

Tobias flies into the room and lands on your dresser.<Hello,I am Tobias and I would like to welcome you to Richard's Animorph Fan Forum.>As you look at him,you can see his full hawk body.The hawk softly looked at you,raiseing in the air abit so you could see its body abit better.The hawk had a reddish like tail of long straight feathers.The rest of its back was motted dark brown.It had big shoulders that looked kind of hunched,like a football lineman ready for the snap.Its head was streamlined.Its eyes were brown and goldish and fierce as it looked over its deadly weapon of its beak looking at you.<I hope your stay here is long and wonderful and that you meet alot of new friends.>

[Dameg]

Maybe you were the first, Bear, this time... But I'm really busy this summer and I was in a cool festival this week-end  Some things are just more important, you see.

Arrive near the first door* Here at your left...

Next it's...

- the One RAFian On Volume project: One RAFian, one volume of Animorphs where everybody take a picture of him/herself with a volume of Animorphs... <= We need a lot of RAFians to participate! You only need a volume of Animorphs (rented if you don't have any) & a camera/webcam

and some other projects who come and go. Please check the list: List of RAFprojects

*Standing in front of TXT* I hope you enjoyed your visit. Oh, and I also invite you to add your species on this list: What is your species? 'coz everybody isn't Human here. And we like to know who is what... For example, as you'll probably see, I'm a Controller. ... and if you want, you can add your age too: Age... and say where do you live here: RAF World Map so Marie can add you on the RAFworld Map!
We also opened a RAF school to teach to each others our languages and other stuffs.

Now I have to go, I don't invite you for the meal, sorry. *Beginning to go down dark stairs. TXT can hear a cry coming from the cave.*
Have fun!
*Dameg disappears into the darkness, TXT is now alone in the hallway*

[Mewmorpher]

Wow, you two. *hits head on wall frame* yep, it's becoming a habit.
        Hi! Welcome! I'm Mewmorpher, but everyone calls me Mew. I see you have found our happy little group of  insane misfits. Hope you enjoy yourself!

[Gaz]

Hi there! Welcome to RAF! Nice to meet you, I'm Gaz.

[txtjjs]

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!    Go Texas!    I'm glad I can help build our numbers here.  Also, what is this French stuff?  I'm trying to learn the language better.  I'm a dork.  haha.  Also, thanks Dameg and Bear for making me laugh.  A little competition never hurt anyone.

[KitsuneMarie]

Yay! I'm glad you remembered RAF and logged back on! XD

We should hang out again soon, dude.

[Dameg]

TXT, the French stuff? You mean the lessons? Well, you can check the French lesson thread, there are already a few lessons and exercises, if you wanna try. But I'm quite busy this summer, so I won't have time to make new lessons nor new exercises, I only can correct the exercises if you try to do them.
