I thought I'd walk around the corner to Stormhold to visit the lair of the evil genius Dr. Obolensky. I was surprised that he was present and he was more than happy to give me a tour of his in-progress underwater lair:
After the doors closed and the lift took us down, I raised an eyebrow. "A submersible and a rocket sir?" I asked, looking at the plans on the wall. "Hmm..." He just twirled his mustache and let out a "Mwah ha HA" laugh. "Necessities, of course," he said. "Of
course," I said.
He then showed me the airlock, complete with exit for submersible. "But Doctor...do you have somewhere to put do-gooders when you capture them and a torture machine for them?" I asked. He stopped and looked at me, it being his turn to raise an eyebrow. "Yes, I know...I missed my calling as an evil genius," I said, laughing.
I headed over to the SkyBeam sim, where one of our other resident mad scientists, Mr. Dominic Webb, is working on his workshop location there. As his long-suffering assistant and erstwhile muse, I headed over there, where we came up with some ideas...
Ended up in Murdann with Otenth, where I brought him a sim-warming gift of some Straylight sunshine. We got comfortable in chairs in Ormsby Hall, where we had a great conversation about Caledon, writing, and things such as titles...For instance, I've
always had one given my parentage, but I've never chosen to use it, especially given the recent title boom. My sister Baube always wondered why, as she rather enjoys hers. I've always been respectful to those who choose to use theirs. In my case, no one's ever asked, and I've never really revealed my back story much anyway--just bits and pieces here and there. I promise that you'll find out more about me as you continue to read this journal...
We were so tickled that the gents were in kilts and showing their marvelous tattoos that I fear Edwina, Duchess Eva and I were rather overcome...
There was a good turnout and we all had a fantastic time dancing, joking and even jello wrestling (Take THAT, O'Toole!). I personally could not stop laughing the whole time (Sorry I bit you Mr Offcourse!) and later found myself finding jello in very strange places. Even Sir Tele came out to dance with us... now that is something worth a swoon right there!
I made a rather dramatic exit with Mr Enoch in latest incarnation of the Spiral Lift Flyer. I do love the inventors and mad scientists of Caledon! "I will not end upside-down in the water again, will I?" I inquired before hopping in. "Why no!" he said as we flew over Port Caledon and the waters of Lionsgate. "Although that does seem to happen every time doesn't it? It shouldn't tonight though!"
Famous last words as I ended upside-down in water. It's official...I am Mr Enoch's personal crash tester.
