M is for Myg

We arrived in shuttles, vipers, and phoneboxes. We materialized out of thin air. Dressed in uniforms, armor, and old sockses. We were all there. Yep, it was the sci-fi-themed June blogmeet. My head still hurts. But probably not as much as Wrath’s. Make sure you click on the pic and go look at the full-sized version at Flickr to get the full effect. Notice even at this stage in the evening, Wrath has forgotten what he is wearing. Though, I’m no one to point fingers. I have no idea what I was dressed as. After the fact, it appears I was channeling some long-lost relative of Mrs. Whatsit from A Wrinkle in Time.

Many thanks to the lovely Veyron for hosting. Your home and deck were an ideal location and the sim was virtually lag-free. (Sorry, I only got this one headshot–does anyone have a good photo showing her sporting the hawt top from The Fifth Element?) Representing the blogosphere at the outset were: Hawks and JellyBean, London and Natsume, Dalien, Korbin, TheDiva, DesertWolf, Zoe, dinee, Veyron, Looker, Wrath, Sun, and Elusyve. And missing from the pic but who I know were there early on: Vint (who has a great write up of the party here), CodeBastard, Caterin. Who else, avs? Let me know. Read on below the fold to see how this lovely afternoon dance party turned into a scene of excess and debauchery of lunar proportions.

When Myg and I arrived, Zoe was dressed as Cara “Starbuck” Thrace from BSG. As if I didn’t have enough trouble talking to her. I’m kicking myself now, I had so many questions. Like, why Apollo, ever? He’s so obviously interested in the boys and is far more interesting as Horatio Hornblower’s sidekick Archie. As the evening progressed, Zoe went through a number of costume changes, finally ending up as some kind of angel (Timelord?) who I began making all kinds of rude passes at, completely blocking my pal Wrath. (Sorry dude, I don’t know what I was thinking. Maybe it’s that comment you made about going home with Myg when you thought I was passed out.)

Ensign Paine wore the red shirt, and got drunk fast because he knew he was most likely going to be the first casualty in this episode of Blog Trek.

Still radiant from their nuptials last week, JellyBean and HawksRock danced close and took the prize for cutest couple.

TheDiva was there in full-effect, spinning a series of mashups that did, indeed, end up mashing up in a 15-car trainwreck. Let this be a lesson to all you DJs out there: don’t drink and spin. No, I’m just playin’–she did a great job and kept us entertained well beyond the call of duty.

Veyron brought out her trashcan with all kinds of free goodies. I think we emptied it. I know I spotted Myg with tell-tale FrootLoop powder around her nostrils.

At some point, someone hit the particle button and the scene got pretty trippy. Something happened and the dancefloor tp’d straight to the moon. Below is a shot of it in transit.

Just one of the many reasons SL rules. You can move your party to the moon by virtue of a holodeck and there’s no mess to clean up afterward.

Another screenshot showing the crew getting loose on the holodeck. In attendance were now Col. Hotspur, Sir Edward, Vint, Myg, Sun, Looker, Bella (Myg’s Italian cousin), dinee, Dalien, DesertWolf, Veyron, loki, Elusyve, Wrath, and me . . . and a bunch more–like Timothy (hurrah!)–as the party rotated for a couple of hours. Many thanks to our European friends for staying up late and bringing it hard.

Here we have some prime representatives of La Communite Belgique, Bella (ah, ché ragazza bella!) and Looker, who gets my vote for best dressed man of the night.

By this point, I was running through my inventory and consuming anything consumable. I would have been spinning even if the low gravity had not set me that way already.

And this was the last thing I saw before the evening went dark. I can only assume my darling Myg, love of all my lives, picked me up and took me home. I imagine what she really wanted to do was leave me face down in a crater and get naked and crazy with the rest of the party. Hmm… I’m not so sure that didn’t happen. But I’m mostly certain she got me safe and comfy first.
