Zoos, high seas and Steambots

Last few days have been interesting, I have taken it upon myself to add a bit more to the undersea view by my home, adding fish and some rocks, almost like a very large saltwater aquarium. Somehow I've gotten into the habit of wearing outfits in theme with what I happen to be working on, so as I've been working underwater, I've been wearing a swimsuit from the mainland, wich causes interesting reactions when I accept teleport offers without thinking first, as I found myself swimming in midair over Equine and a steam mech he had met, Iason Hassanov, a very friendly machine, new to Caledon, and of a very interesting design. After visiting I had gone back to my work building a reef (more a pile of rocks haphazardly strewn across the sea floor). and eventually took a break for air and to see Gnarli's progress with the zoo. He was in lepoard form tonight, wich basically meant he towered above me, and seemed to have an interest in taking pictures tonight. He showed me the visitor's center for the zoo, complete with a barrel of freebee animals ^-^
eventually taking me for a ride around the greystroke/cymru/NCI/kintyre area on his back, next time I go jousting, I'll have to keep 7 foot lepoards in mind as a steed. eventually he wanted to trade places for the ride back, and almost broke my back, foxes are not riding animals...

After the back-breaking trip back, we went to Wellsian to look around, I quickly changed when we got there from the schoolgirl uniform (don't ask), still barefoot, I tried following Gnarli as he bounded away, and eventually gave up and tried to catch up by my rover, wich true to form spiralled out of control off the cliff into the sea (I was later informed of it's wereabouts for retreival) Once I caught up, it seemed the Guv'nah attracted a small crowd just watching him landscape the mountains, it's really looking like it's going to shape up to be a nice sim.




Thenext day I had been in New Babbage, just wandering, mostly for a break from working on a pneumatic arm I'd been planning. when I met a Mr. K. Enoch, who seems to be an aircraft designer, he was testing one out at least. We talked for a bit on aircraft, and I showed off my jetpack, as he showed his wings, eventually, I left him to his work and carried on.




I was called on later that night by Gnarli, he wanted to look around for more animals for the zoo, especially a rideable elephant. We headed for the mainland into some sort of petstore/wildlife preserve.










eventually I came away with my own little fox, I named him Sputnik (yes I know, a fox with a pet fox, it's the whole Goofy/Pluto conundrum , I can live with it without asking questions, can't you? ;p )

And the very next day, I was invited to Tammranoch by Mr. Hassanov to see the progress on his clock tower, Miss Eugena joined us, and the discussion turned to Djinn, lawyers, and machines with souls



eventually, Miss Eugena had to take her leave due to lightning, Gnarli took her place, and eventually, we all called it a night and said our goodbyes.

After milling about my cottage, I took the time to get to know sailing my tako better, fist attempt, sailing around the new area, it was a smooth enough sail, aside from getting the tako hung up on rocks near Cymru, and I've come to the conclusion I won't be sailing any races anytime soon.

Home sweet Home

Greystroke and Cymru by sea

pirates?
A bit later, as I was installing the retractable ramp to the new loft at home, I had a visit from Gnarli, There was an arena in Lock Aviery for armed sparring, so we went. It was my first time in combat, and I managed to lay out Gnarli each and every time too, next time they have a tournament there, I'm thinking i might try it and see how I do ^^

Warrior Foxx

Come back here!

'Tis only a flesh wound!
Afterwards, we took a trip to the NASA sim, somehow I managed to lose Gnarli (he didn't board the rocket before I basted off) but it was still amazing. Walking the surface of Mars, I began thinking of ways Caledon could enter the space race, etheric zepplins to mars?








Later we had met with Viderian in Cymeru to see his park and relax a bit, the trees were straylight and looked amazing.








The next day, I had been helping Gnarli organize and move in some of his animals for the zoo (in my case, help consisted of trying to ride all of them and rezzing little kitties everywhere)
at some point, (probably on purpose) some of the panthers had gotten loose, and one of them decided to chase me around a bit until i jumped into one of the pens to get away, then it found the ostrich to be more to it's tastes. Eventually the Guvnah came and we started getting quite a few visitors, for the most part it seemed to go over well for a half finished zoological park.

On safari for the zoo

jousting anyone?







Panther attack!


guess he liked chicken better


zoo visitors already?






Nice Stilty, you've been a loyal steed

R'lyeh Comes to Primverness

A few days ago, a new island appeared next to Primverness, OUTSIDE toe border, in n0-man's land. It had attracted a large crowd, as many of us tried to land on it only to be blocked by the border's invisible wall. Eventually, it was Mr. Vollmar, (in Anubis form no less) who finally suceeded in penetrating the veil into the great unknown, until he stood up from his megaprim block vessel and popped through time and space back into the world. Miss Amber managed to cross the border as well, with a sort of walkway, as she did her own victory dance. Viderian tried a second trip , staying seated this time, and planting a Caledon flag (temporarily as reality and physics on the other side apparently don't like things being left on it's shores for long.) playing his guitar the whole time.



an attempt to colorize the giant prim continent in Caledon's colors


attracted quite a crowd didn't it?


Concert from the great beyond

A few days later, I was in Cymru, one of the newer duchy's,touring the castle with Mr. Viderian and Equine, Mr. Scaggs, and Miss Commons. eventually it turned to talk of winter, and Miss Commons showed us how she can freeze over water (with only one prim even).

Later I was in Greystroke, and my new home as Gnarli told me of his plans for the place (it involves lots of monkeys..)
as we were touring the area, we were visited by a kitty, who then turned into a dragon. the kitty/dragon had some ideas she informed us of, involving Faries, jars, and pressing.

Hey, i can see my house from here!


and suddenly, for no reason whatsoever, PRIM KONG VS. GNARZAN!!!!!!!!!

Fall and other things

Last few days have been eventful, the past week has been the harvest festival in both Caledon and Steelhead city, I had originally planned on entering Caledon's Tako sailing race, but was a bit late and unable to make it, I was however able to try finding all the pumpkins hidden in Steelhead, as well as get lost in the corn maze. it's actually a nice place, Definatly worth a visit.

nothing here...

ok, spoke too soon

Pumpkining is hard work

somehow I'm not sure how I got in this situation, fortunalty i could get my hand free before the train started


I had also visited the new areas of Caledon recently arrived, Cymru and Greystroke, After talking to Viderian Vollmar about his plans for his new duchy, Cymru, he suggested I visit Straylight Botanicals, it seems to be a very pretty forest with an open air garden shop in the center. Despite feeling the eyes of the fairies there watching my every move, i took plenty of pictures, at least until the fox-eating plant.

Mr. Vollmar plans in Cymru

Miss Darkling's ship, it was docked in Speirling, not in Cymru, but made for an interesting picture anyway

Straylight, a nice place for a picnic


all roads lead to Caledon, even here

Interesting flowers, let's take a closer look

probably shouldn't have done that

can say something about this picture, but i won't
