Also, they are now orange, so they can be baby air kraken.
Because blue would be a stupid color for a kraken.
Stick and wiggle, baby air kraken! Stick and wiggle!

Sometimes I am SUCH a noob
Like tonight, when I found an old Linden-made squid gun on Marketplace and thought it was the best thing EVER. Since it's full perms I spent the night tinkering with the script to see if I could make the squids bounce when they hit something, but no luck. The best I can do is get them to not just go right through something. Now they kind of stick and wiggle, which I suppose is almost as good as bouncing.

Radio Shows, Burlesque, and Motorbikes
When I went inworld tonight, I had nothing to do. It wasn't long, however, before I found a remedy. Then I had things to do all evening.
First, Radio Riel Theater at the Clarendon Conservatory in New Babbage. Besides Edward Pearse, I was the only one to show up in person, but it was a fantastic show. We listened to a couple episodes of Red Panda Adventures, and now I'm hooked. I really want to listen to more now.
Afterward I bumped into Ms. Bianca Namori, Mr. Victor1st Mornington, and Ms. Gabrielle Antara as I walked through the Gut. They were obviously up to no good, so I had to join them immediately. We chatted for awhile, Vic left, and at some point we noticed an intrepid group of explorers wandering through the sim. Quite suddenly we were all under attack and the voyagers were taking cover near us.
Apparently an unseen assailant started lobbing bombs (of all things) at them, and then at us, and panic ensued. I have to admit that I pulled out my pistol and gave the bugger a fistful of whatfor. Or at least, ther person who I assumed was the bugger....there is a remote possibility that I opened fire on the wrong person.
See why I'm against guns in RL?
Anyway, that was an exciting diversion, but eventually the explorers flew off in their airship, the bomber apparently lost interest and we were left to our chat. Ms. Bianca dances at a burlesque club in Seraph City and had to leave for a show, so I tagged along. I've never been to a burlesque show. It was.....enlightening! Really great fun.
While I was there watching the last dancer, Ms. Jedburgh30 Dagger (another New Babbager) came in for the last part of the show. We visited for awhile and she gave me a ride on her motorcycle to see the garage she owns in Seraph City. The whole dieselpunk concept is quite new to me, but the builds in Seraph City are just beautiful. From talking with Jed I think it's another case of me having loved dieselpunk all along and just not realizing there was a name for it, very much the way I developed an interest in steampunk. "Oh, that's what they call that? Okay..."
In any case, it was a lively evening.

New Babbage goings on
Because I've not seen the SL "steamlands" outside of New Babbage and Caledon, I've decided to take some walking tours. I posted on the City of New Babbage Reader about my upcoming excursions, which I decided to call "whistle-stop tours," and extended an open invitation to anyone who'd like to join me. I got a great response, and am planning to go on my first walk tonight. Since New Toulouse is based on turn-of-the-century New Orleans French Quarter, and since today is Bastille Day, I thought it would be a good place to start.
On the thread about touring New Toulouse, Edward Pearse mentioned that I should watch out for zombies, since they are known to haunt some areas of the city. I joked that I would bring some sort of repellent, something with two barrels, which led to further discussion about how it's mandatory for redheads in New Babbage to be armed.
I don't have much experience with roleplay, but the stories being told in New Babbage are fantastic, and I have been wanting to get involved. It's a minor thing, but I decided to start by buying a gun.

In RL I'm very against firearms, but in New Babbage RP, it's great fun. I think I look rather badass, if I do say so. I was aiming (heh) for a "Dirty Harry" kind of picture.
Last night I saw an opportunity to squeeze into the periphery of an ongoing RP; it was in a rather unpleasant way, but hopefully I provided a bit of comedic relief on the thread. I've found that I am much more comfortable with self-deprecating humor than with serious drama, and so I feel it was a good way to bring my character...er...myself into the story.
