Castle Wulfenbach Moved

Castle Wulfenbach, the fantastic airship created by Lunar for last year's Steelhead RFL site, has been moved to a more permanent home. Otenth, Jarl of Orcadia, was quite nice and offered for it to be moored on his lands so that others may see this wonder for themselves.

The Europan Consulate folks are still settling in, so do give them a moment to have things ready and officially invite everyone for visits.

An Interesting Evening

The other night I stood in the doorway of the lighthouse at Laval Point, the portraits of my (RL) great-great grandmother and aunts behind me, and wondered..."What shall I do?"
I sat with some tea by the water, but this was entirely too sedate for me!I decided to take the old airship out for a spin over Steelhead! Yes!Although, after dodging mountains and the Hotel & Ballroom Tower, I soon realized that a sedate evening knitting in front of the fire at the Messmer estate in Caledon Penzance with our kitty snoozing by my side wasn't a bad idea...

Caledon Firth Anniversary Regatta!

A year ago the Caledon Firth's expanse of central water void sims were created. They have become very popular and used for the recreation of Caledon's citizens for both aviation and sailing. Today, in an event hosted by Dia, the new Duchess of Sound, many of us came to celebrate with a regatta! I donned my European-style sailor's outfit...And took my fast little sailboat for a spin around the Firth...
Upon our return, we also took to the sky as well and I accepted a ride from DrBob Margulies in his new balloon by Miss Ilsa Munroe...We all flew along the Southern coast of the Firth from one end to the other, turning around to attend the formal...
DrBob and I decided to take a more direct route upwards to the dance platform upon reaching Sound. That is Lionsgate in the background...

Two Tiny Bunnies, One Big Adventure

I stood on top of the mountain at Steelhead Gardens admiring the view...Before hopping down...
As Lunar had just finished building Miss Katt's new home...That was a good enough cause for celebrating with an airship flight over the Firth of Caledon...
We also thought we'd explore the underwater builds at Argylle. Ooo...where does this tunnel lead?
To the mooring station! And still so much to see as there are new Caledon sims I have not yet visited! Oh, but you know that I shall!

What? No Water?

I am always game to test and ride in my friends' air vehicles. My reputation as a "crash test dummy" seems to precede me. Mr Enoch gave me a ride in his new airship skybox and I was all set to open my parachute given my past experiences. I settled into the comfortable seat as we cruised the skies above Eyre. After he stopped I realized something rather important: It was the first time I have ever been in an air vehicle with him and did not end up underwater somehow!

And Elle Goes "Splat"!

"Hellooo! Come see my new toy!" I came outside of the shop to see Eds, aka Miss Caledon herself, in a very interesting steampunky air vehicle made by Loki Mahana of Castleworks. My reputation as a crash test dummy for new air vehicles precedes me (see any previous postings involving Kheph Enoch and flying), so of course I hopped in!We took to the air above Regency before finding ourselves in a rather unusual predicament...
We were in a nose dive spin that would not stop! "That is it! I'm getting airsick! We'll have to jump!" Eds said. "We have to what?!" I said as we stood up. "On the count of three. One...two...THREE!" she shouted over the din of the engines and we leapt out of the airship. I dusted myself off after my hard landing despite my parachute. "Are you alright Elle?" she asked and I nodded. "That was fun! I can't wait until it's truly ready!"

The Few. The Proud. The Tiny.

The RCAF Screamin' Tinies were out in full force for a weekend of tiny dogfights over the Sound filled with thrills and spills!

Dogfight #1 Saturday: Got taken down to 9 hit points before finding myself in a ditch somehow in Lionsgate...
Dogfight #2, Midnight SLT: The Crimson Koala (Lord Primbroke) appears. Here he is being pursued by Zoe...
Dogfight #3, Sunday: Miss Nika Dreamscape took some fun videos of the Squadron in action. Here we are defending HQ against sky pirate Alex Chadbourne...
Here is a poster I made with a fun motto I quipped while we were posing for it...
Afterwards, we all went to the Prop Spinner in SSC for their "Memory of Lara" event for RFL...
My tiny colleagues, as your Squadron Leader I salute you!

Dragons and the Coming Bunneh Revolution?

Wandered Regency as a bunneh for my Sunday stroll...
Stopped by the aerodrome and showed Flight LT J8ke "Flash" Hawker my gorgeous beautiful steampunkily wonderful Raptor...Then he showed me his 290 prim zeppelin...oh...my...
Stopped through Carntaigh to celebrate Duchess Gabi's appearance on SLCN. The lovely dragon, Puff Mariner, was holding a board in her mouth saying "Play my song..."
Went to work my aether muse magic for my curmudgeonly dragon inventor employer Mr Dominic Webb. I did not know that a bunny attack would be part of the job description...how does this keep happening to me?

Roasted Seagull and Impressive Airships...

Yes...My resident seagull on my Harborside lamppost is afire. Oh dear those lamps get really hot! Prof. Messmer and I watch a huge airship hover over the Connolly Airfield from the roof of his Penzance home. Oh joy...SL rezzing issues!

In the Skies Above Caledon

While chatting with Miss Connolly about my upcoming little storefront in Babbage, I was inspired to give flying an aircraft another go. Most of my efforts have been rather disastrous and usually involving water, but tonight, I felt brave and daring so I headed over to the Aerodrome, where Cap'n Trenton met me...My first attempt crash-landed in the waters at Murdann, but I thought I'd try again, lining up on the runway and getting settled in my Demoiselle...
Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!
This time, I actually brought her in for a landing! "Not sideways, or upside-down, but even--on the wheels!" Cap'n Trenton said. Of course, we had to celebrate with a galvanic swordstick fight!

Wandering in Mayfair & Penzance

I thought I'd take a leisurely walk around my neighborhood of Mayfair to see if there are any new neighbors and build changes. One of the most interesting ones I found in the NW corner. "Mayfair Aviation?" I had to see more and climbed the ramp to the top where there was a lovely view...I turned around and smiled, seeing an air vehicle and all sorts of hangars and interesting things related to an aerodrome and such. I do hope there will not be many crashed vehicles in my backyard--especially knowing how I fly my own!
Walked down the road to the theater, which is gorgeous. I lowered the curtain and "Oooo!"

Mr McMillan's Wild Ride...

After my tour of the interior, Mr. McMillan offered me an aerial view in his copter. I hopped on the back and held on tight!A daring, skilled pilot, I cheered as we dipped and swerved around the Southern duchies. At one point, we hovered for a moment to wave at Lord Vid, who was reclining under a tree at Cymru, before zooming off again...
The views really were breathtaking...
...and we landed in the main hall--the first time I had ever been on an air vehicle and not ended up upside-down in water at the end! Thank you for the ride sir! It was a lot of fun!!!

Up, Up and Away Tiny-Style!

Thought I'd fire up the tiny Boomslang airship for the first time and take my small ferretty self for a ride...Went across Regency and Eyre and on to the skies above the Sound and Firth waters. Came upon the storm in Speirling...
And had a flying fish following me...
...before flying over my store andneighborhood in Mayfair...
...of course, I hit a full parcel and landed upside down in water in Victoria City!
