Return of the Little Panda Pirate

The Little Panda Pirate didn't know how it had happened. Her ship, The Hungry Mariner, was ahead of schedule. The Faire was coming up, and this year the little panda pirate was determined to be there early. The wind was in her favor, and the weather was balmy. Stingrabbits were playfully racing the ship like dolphins. The weather changed suddenly, and she sailed right into a squall that split the ship into pieces.  It was pandamonium! Our heroine had managed to cling to the bow and had finally washed up on a small island.

The next morning, she took stock of the situation. What luck! Bamboo was growing on the island, and there was one trunk of waffles, taken from a waffle freighter her crew had boarded a few days ago. At least she would be well fed. She also found a chest of bullion that she was going to donate once she made it to the Faire. Pirates want to stop cancer too! Arrrr!


Our panda pirate really wanted to go to the Faire, but now all she could do was to wait, and wait, and wait.... Well, sometimes she fed bits of waffles to the stingrabbits.


She didn't know how long she'd been shipwrecked, but eventually her luck changed. One day some huge waves went by. Sting rabbits were playing among the white caps. One told her to hop on, they were going to the Faire. She grabbed her sea bag and leapt onto the stingrabbit's back.


Will she make it in time? Will she find her crew? Who are these stingrabbits?

It may seem like a long wait, but it will be worth it.

I'm back!

Welcome back to my blog, gentle readers. My typist has been dealing with a movement disorder and needed some time away to get used to the idea (and get the meds right!) 

I'm going to start with a new avatar. This one debuted at The Fantasy Faire last year. Second Life has a big, tiny population, that is, a large number of small avatars. Today we are talking about Dinkies, which are tiny mesh cats. These avatars can be modified, and for years, one of my favorite looks was a tiny panda. I have a new favorite now, a Sphynx cat! I love hairless animals, and my typist has had a few. She has also met some Sphynx cats in real life. Enough rambling. Here's the kitty:

These cats have attitude! This one likes Theosophy, Ouija boards, and just about anything mysterious or magical. She lives in the Victorian era, whether anyone else does or not, and has a collection of teeth that she keeps in a sardine tin under the couch. The energy around standing stones attracts her, so of course she likes Caledon Speirling.


Her favorite place is the HP Blavatsky Memorial Library. 


She likes napping amid piles of books, even when they float and spin around, and even when a strange green light comes through the stained glass above her.
