Reading Radar

Chug saw something in someone’s profile… how often do our explorations start that way? Ummm… not often. Really no more than… 99.9999% of the time. At the most. Anyway, October is a state of mind, not a month. At least it is in SL, on the October Country sim. For the sake of my brevity, let’s call it the OC, shall we? No? Well, tough luck, it’s my blog and I’m calling it OC.

OC features the October Hotel high upon a treacherous ledge overlooking a town below. The town is under construction. We met the sim owner Martian Wei, who was very friendly and helpful, and he indicated it should be completed before long.

But who cares about the town, everyone knows when there’s a hotel on a hill in dark, gloomy surroundings, you need to explore and expect a few surprises.

We wandered in and found no one at the desk… so we thought maybe we should apply for the job. Unfortunately there were no spare name tags, so we decided maybe we should just go look for someone.

We found one person…. but they weren’t real helpful. Needed some rest too, by the looks of them.

They are into weird art here - I sure hope that’s not a relative of someone!

We headed downstairs and found some corridors… and a crate with something totally alien inside.

Then we found something odd.

A tunnel. A hole. A whole tunnel. We proceeded.

Chug found something that was inexplicable, yet purposeful. Was it used for carving Turkeys? But in October? Hmmm.

Oh, well. Whatever. We moseyed on, and found a comforting fire. I thought this was supposed to be scary? Maybe they’re gonna make us all sing songs?

Somehow we found our way back the to the place we were before. And then we went upstairs.

Dazed and confused, we stumbled back outside, and discovered a lighthouse up on the ridge across from us.

We wandered down into the town, where a friendly squirrel was gathering nuts. I guess we were part of his collection?

Oh, yeah, while up on the lighthouse tower we met Martian Wei. Do him a favor and go check out this sim. It’s a lot of fun, and it’s a really well done build.

And look for some things down near the graveyard that I didn’t get pictures of. Stand on the bridge for awhile. It’ll be worth it.
