Your inside is out and your outside is in

Posted by Esteban

Got an IM from Myg:”Come quick.” Sounded urgent. The Scripts were on it.

This was weird. Myg said maybe we’d escaped. Escaped? Escaped? Ontologically, it was a trip, but inside my stomach sank.

In my heart, I wanted to believe it. Evidence suggests it’s possible. It would be proof beyond the shadow of a doubt. It might even be the beginning of the end of the so-called RL.

We lined up for a picture — Edmund Hillary and all that. I scanned the horizon. Something wasn’t quite right. Were we really outside — or was it like one of those dreams: you wake up, but then it’s still a dream, and then you really wake up, but that’s a dream too, so you wake up, but…? Stormy wasn’t rezzing. Would that happen on the outside? The laws of physics were supposed to be different. Sparkle couldn’t get the keyboard to work…

Then everything went black. Logged off. We couldn’t get back in; it said the sim was down.

I’m still not sure. If we were outside, then sure as hell someone would have wanted to shut us down. But I tend to think we weren’t — and, truth be told, I’m a little relieved. When it does happen, we’ll want to pour out of the screen by the millions, armed to the teeth. And, uh, we’ll be more intimidating if we can figure out how to cross over without just being an inch tall.

First, try on a taller shape. Frpm there, there are supplements meant to expand the blood so you won’t be one inch tall anymore. Human’s are very clever that way.
Oh, and cats are different inworld than real world. When a real world cat offers to play with you, politely decline.

Seraphine: High heels? :d And as for the RL cats: if you don’t mind them using their nails, they make great playmates! :p
