Cats and Coastal Towns: Day 12

Early in the morning we rescued a kitty cat.  The poor guy was nearly drownded near the docks.  I heard him yell and Joline and I ran down to the dock and got him out of the water.  He was paniced panicced paniked freaked out.  Soon as he was on dry land he shook the water off him and booked it far away and hid.

But after we had our breakfast at the diner in Bolinas, he walked right over to me and started snuggling and purring!  He was all dry now.  He let me pet him and pick him up and now he's one of our group.

Look at that face!  We named him Max the Wonder Cat.  If I can't take him home after all this, then I hope I'll find a good home for him.  But I hope mom lets me keep him!!!

((OOC note: Max the Wonder Cat came from here.))

The roads are all opened now and the newspapers say the volcanoes far away have all calmed down.  So it was safe for us to ride again.

Petal texts her mom

In case you haven't heard the news, there has been volcanic activity and earthquakes occuring off the coast of Sansara, just west of Abbots.  Bolinas was barely affected, but as a safety measure, roads have been closed and flights grounded for a while.

Don't worry, Our Heroines are safe and sound, but their travels have been temporarily put on hold.  Stay tuned to see what happens next.

In the meantime, Petal has racked up 11km so far for her fundraiser.  Click here to read about it and to sponsor her.

The Voyage of the Unicorn: Day 11

Petal in the Labyrinth

This song was in my head tonight as I explored the Hedge Maze. I couldn't sleep, so while Joline was asleep I thought I'd check it out.

The trick to finding your way out of a maze, Auntie told me one time, is to follow along one wall as far as you can. Well finally I got to this strange glowy hedge, and I saw bright sparklies drifting by from above. They were really beautiful.

Help Petal raise Ls for Charity!

Ladies and gentlemen!  Petal will be resetting her odometer to 0 starting May 1st.  Why, you ask?  Because from May 1st through June 31st, she will be logging her distance traveled and collecting sponsors per virtual km to raise funds for Love146, an organization that fights child trafficking and provides aftercare to survivors.

How can you help?
Either post a comment here, or send Petal (username Petal LittleBoots) or a NC inworld with the following information:

• Your SL name
• How many Ls you pledge per km

If you want to just make a lump-sum contribution, you can either send USD via PayPal to jennifer@love146.org , or lindens to Lovey (username Love146 Serendipity).

To give you an idea how many kms you may be sponsoring, so far Petal has covered roughly 13km.  She rides once per week on average, and the event covers 8 weeks.  She'll be pedaling extra far for this event, so if you're not sure how many lindens you can spare, you might want to make a lump-sum contribution to Lovey.

Thank you for supporting this important cause!

This virtual event coincides with the RL event Tread on Trafficking.  To support Mistletoe's RL team, click here.

Attack of the Giant Blue Nipple Guy: Day 10

At last, it's time for a new update from those intrepid explorers, Petal and Joline, as they explore the roads of Second Life!  Day 10 marks a bit of a milestone for Petal, as she reaches (and exceeds) 100 sims visited since her trip began.

So far they've been on hot air balloons, flying pods, ski jumps, ice skates, and of course their trusty bikes.  What new exciting experiences will Petal and Joline discover on Day 10?  Read on to find out!

The sun was rising at YavaScript's touring pod station in Durango.  Joline took this picture while I was still asleep.
