(10/07 13:03:11) judyg sets her KI to “silent mode”

(10/07 13:03:13) ShilohOBrien: And don’t push the BIG BLUE BUTTON!

(10/07 13:03:21) Claidi Song: We have an amazing agenda for AGM today. I hope you all enjoy the news and have a good time!

(10/07 13:03:39) Claidi Song: First on the agenda, skyisblu has information about her mouth-watering Cooking with Sky shows.

(10/07 13:03:43) Claidi Song beckons you

(10/07 13:03:43) Claidi Song: Please, come on up to the platform skyisblu!

(10/07 13:04:04) rarified ‘s mount waters

(10/07 13:04:16) skyisblu: Hi everybody, I just wanted to come up here and remind you all that every first Monday of the month, I host Cooking Sessions with Sky, a live cooking stream. Just last week, we made Okonomiyaki, a Japanese savory pancake with cabbage and seafood, topped with bacon, a barbecue-style sauce, and Kewpie mayonnaise.

(10/07 13:04:32) ShilohOBrien: Great! Now I’m hungry.

(10/07 13:04:34) skyisblu: (pause for drooling)

(10/07 13:04:37) skyisblu: 😀

(10/07 13:04:39) rarified: Delivery?

(10/07 13:04:41) Emor D’ni Lap: FEED US

(10/07 13:04:52) Claidi Song: lol

(10/07 13:04:56) skyisblu: If this sounds absolutely delicious, you’re not too late to enjoy the cooking session: I upload every video to Youtube, and post the accompanying recipes(with lots of photos) to a blog, which you can find here : https://cookingsessionswithsky.blogspot.com/

(10/07 13:05:20) skyisblu: Every month is something new and different, a lot of times inspired by what is coming from my garden, or what is in season in my corner of the world. We also gather together in the Guild of Caterers’ Hood during the livestream, and I try to answer any questions regarding the recipe I am cooking, other dishes or cuisines, ingredient substitutions – so if you have any burning questions about cooking, it’s the place to be.

(10/07 13:05:48) skyisblu: Also, if you have any suggestions for future cooking sessions, I am always open to trying out new things and sharing my experience and results with everyone, however successful they are. Or not – I did have a couple of mishaps recently when attempting to make “blue foods” that ended up more grey and less edible 😉

(10/07 13:06:21) skyisblu: So the cooking stream is every first Monday of the month at 12 KI, broadcast live on Twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/skyisblu_is_me and then reposted on the blog. I post reminders and hints on the social media platforms about a week before. And for an added bonus, I explain the recipe in both English and French, to include more of the community.

(10/07 13:06:48) skyisblu: The next session is scheduled for Monday, November 6th, at 12 KI – no idea what I am making yet, but if anyone has any ideas, I am always open to suggestions 😀 I hope to see you there!

(10/07 13:06:58) IwonK: pierogi 😉

(10/07 13:07:09) skyisblu: LOL IwonK 😉

(10/07 13:07:15) skyisblu: Any questions?

(10/07 13:07:16) IwonK giggles in Polish

(10/07 13:07:20) Mabe says stop!

(10/07 13:07:37) IwonK stops

(10/07 13:07:46) Claidi Song: yes from ShilohOBrian

(10/07 13:08:07) Claidi Song: Would you consider doing a cooking class at Mysterium on year?

(10/07 13:08:17) Claidi Song: *one year

(10/07 13:08:43) Emor D’ni Lap: hotel regulations

(10/07 13:08:59) skyisblu: I have been considering that, since next year is in my hometown 😉 I will have to wait until the venue is announced, and then approach that location to see what the possibility is for doing a cooking session on site.

(10/07 13:09:08) ShilohOBrien: Woot!!!

(10/07 13:09:30) skyisblu: Some hotels don’t look to kindly on cooking with an open flame indoors 😉

(10/07 13:09:32) Claidi Song: That’s all the questions from the queue.

(10/07 13:09:42) skyisblu: Great 🙂 Thanks everyone!

(10/07 13:09:48) ShilohOBrien: Then they’re cowards!!!

(10/07 13:09:50) Claidi Song: That’s all the questions from the queue.

(10/07 13:10:01) Kayara: Perhaps they will allow it outdoors though?

(10/07 13:10:08) judyg: maybe cook outside? it’ll be summer

(10/07 13:10:08) Claidi Song: From Cyan:

(10/07 13:10:23) Claidi Song: Calum has Mysterium news for us.

(10/07 13:10:29) Claidi Song beckons you

(10/07 13:10:29) Claidi Song: Welcome to the platform Calum!

(10/07 13:10:35) Calum Traveler: not really Cyan technically

(10/07 13:10:40) Calum Traveler: though my shirt is lol

(10/07 13:10:48) rarified reaches for THE BIG BLUE BUTTON

(10/07 13:10:55) Calum Traveler: Shorah, all, a couple of things from me. I won’t be taking questions since I’ve got a cold I’m recovering from and will be trying to get through this as quickly as possible.

(10/07 13:10:56) Claidi Song: Cyan’s Mysterium rep 🙂

(10/07 13:11:20) Calum Traveler: again, cyan’s not got anything on me or mysterium but, ehrg. semantics at this point.

(10/07 13:11:36) Calum Traveler: mysterium stuff first, then a bit of cavern stuff.

(10/07 13:11:38) Calum Traveler: First: A new Mysterium blogpost has been posted! Time for the usual news roundup from it. Full blogpost can be found here: https://mysterium.net/2023/10/pins-2/

(10/07 13:11:48) Calum Traveler: in summary

(10/07 13:11:50) Calum Traveler: Pin Submissions for Mysterium 2024 are open until March 31st. You’re not required to follow the Mysterium Theme, but if you want to incorporate it, this year’s theme is Serenia. As a tangential reminder, Shirt Submissions are open until February 25th. You can find information for these submissions at: https://mysterium.net/submissions/pin-design-submissions/ and https://mysterium.net/submissions/shirt-design-submissions/

(10/07 13:12:03) Calum Traveler: The August Creativity Prompt Winners for “Blazing” were laughingpineapple with the artwork “Blazing Mentor” and Salvo Ludis with the story “The Bad Ending”

(10/07 13:12:18) Calum Traveler: This months prompt theme is “Noir.” The color, the detective style, longer darker nights, fear of the outside/night, creeping dread, a darkness falling, etc.

(10/07 13:13:18) Calum Traveler squints for a moment, and mumbles, ‘did i do the pin announcement?’

(10/07 13:13:30) ShilohOBrien: Yes you did.

(10/07 13:13:32) Calum Traveler: ok

(10/07 13:13:40) Calum Traveler: a bit of cavern news then

(10/07 13:13:43) Claidi Song: It’s good to have someone keeping us up on the news from Cyan, etc :))

(10/07 13:13:52) Calum Traveler: Next: A quick update from the Restoration regarding something that has been a long way for a really long time.

(10/07 13:14:04) Calum Traveler: Back in 2007, the DRC locked open the doors to the Library and Museum in Ae’gura due to technical issues with the automatic sensors that were causing the doors to close in peoples faces, or stay shut when they should have opened. They have been locked open ever since.

(10/07 13:14:18) Calum Traveler: That’s almost 17 years it’s been like that! Definitely longer than the DRC ever thought it’d be, I’d wager.

(10/07 13:14:29) ShilohOBrien nods grimly

(10/07 13:14:31) Calum Traveler: After several rounds of hard work from our resident techwizard Hazado, and riggorous testing of the mechanisms from the volunteer testers, I am pleased to announce that we have hammered out the original issues, and in the coming weeks, will be unlocking the DRC’s ‘temporary’ fix of the problem, and restoring the doors to proper functionality.

(10/07 13:14:51) Calum Traveler: The doors should now:

(10/07 13:14:57) Calum Traveler: Properly open and close for a person entering and exiting their sensor regions.

(10/07 13:15:05) Calum Traveler: Properly stay open if multiple people are inside the sensor region and not close again until all people have exited the sensor region.

(10/07 13:15:17) Calum Traveler: In our testing, we have tried to take into account the possibility that someone may link out while inside the sensor region, and we have calibrated it to not close again until another person has successfully entered and exited the region properly.

(10/07 13:15:34) Calum Traveler: We will be keeping our ears open incase this is not functioning as intended, as this is technically more of a temporary fix and we would prefer it if the doors would close again after a region is exited via linking, but that is something we weren’t able to get the sensors to recognize at this time.

(10/07 13:15:55) Calum Traveler: (This is a problem we’ve noticed with other automatic sensor doors elsewhere in the Cavern, and personally, I suspect the D’ni who designed the sensors didn’t anticipate people who had personal linking books deciding to link out in unexpected places like in the middle of an open doorway!)

(10/07 13:16:22) Calum Traveler: Hazado has also adjusted the sensor regions as well to trigger earlier than they used to, when approaching in certain directions, to ensure that the doors will not be closed by the time you reach them, which hopefully should not cause anyone running for a presumed empty doorway to run into them.

(10/07 13:16:39) Calum Traveler reaches end of prepared notes.

(10/07 13:16:48) Calum Traveler: alright that’s it from me.

(10/07 13:16:50) Calum Traveler bows

(10/07 13:16:50) Claidi Song: Thank you, Calum!

(10/07 13:16:53) rarified still has the mark on his forehead from the door

(10/07 13:17:02) Emor D’ni Lap: Take care of your cold Calum, and get better

(10/07 13:17:11) Calum Traveler falls back into first available seat

(10/07 13:17:31) skyisblu passes Calum a cup of tea

(10/07 13:17:40) Claidi Song: Next, IwonK is here to tell us about her Wonky Talk this month.

(10/07 13:17:40) IwonK passes Cal a hot cookie

(10/07 13:17:47) Claidi Song beckons you

(10/07 13:17:47) Claidi Song: The stage is yours, IwonK!

(10/07 13:17:51) ShilohOBrien offers wiskey and honey to add to the tea.

(10/07 13:17:56) LividLiquid: WOOOOOO!

(10/07 13:17:57) IwonK: I’ll be quick 😀

(10/07 13:18:08) IwonK: I’ll be streaming my Wonky Talk on Friday, October 13th at 15 KI in the Guild of Cookies’ Hood (we sit near the heek table)

(10/07 13:18:21) IwonK: This month’s topic is “robots in video games”! I have some titles in my mind already but if you know any interesting games I could talk about (and draw), feel free to throw them my way 🙂

(10/07 13:18:31) IwonK: join me on my Twitch channel (twitch.tv/yvonk), there will be cookies 🙂

(10/07 13:18:38) IwonK: any Qs in the Q?

(10/07 13:18:57) IwonK: ‘coz I got some A’s if needed 😀

(10/07 13:19:08) IwonK is checking something out

(10/07 13:19:16) rarified: Who needs a Q when you got As?

(10/07 13:19:18) judyg: 🙂

(10/07 13:19:19) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

(10/07 13:19:19) IwonK: 😀

(10/07 13:19:24) IwonK bows

(10/07 13:19:32) Claidi Song: Thank you, IwonK!

(10/07 13:19:40) Kayara hopes the Q are busy pestering the Enterprise and not us down here.

(10/07 13:19:48) Claidi Song: Now, about an upcoming event the Guild of Authors and Artists are doing, Diranda has information and an announcement.

(10/07 13:19:54) Claidi Song beckons you

(10/07 13:24:14) Minasunda: shorah 🙂

(10/07 13:24:20) Minasunda: As most of you have already noticed, Mister Magic is back in the Cavern 🙂

(10/07 13:24:29) Minasunda: He has now restored all of his Magic Ages including the fireworks and the numerous Magic Games in the different Ages are playable again.

(10/07 13:24:40) Minasunda: Mister Magic is currently working on making The Fabulous Magic Treasure (FMT) available to players again – it’s almost done I think.

(10/07 13:24:53) Minasunda: To get help with the magic commands in the game, send one of the bot’s a PM with “help” and it will send you some KI-mails. Here the KI IDs of Magic Bot 27527, Mimi Bot 71459, Magic Treasure 26224, Magic-Treasure 24891, Mimi Treasure 21190.

(10/07 13:25:04) Minasunda: For questions regarding the Magic Ages and everything that goes with them, he has his own channel on the MOULa event Discord https://discord.com/channels/673564613849120829/1147212803501994085

(10/07 13:25:15) Minasunda: To celebrate the return of the Magic Bot’s and also to say THANK YOU to our Mir-O-Bot for remaining loyal to us despite all the difficulties, we are planning…

(10/07 13:25:25) Minasunda: …. of course a party :)) Next Saturday on October 14th at 11:30 KI Time in Mir-O-Bot’s Kalamee. To get there, PM Mir-O-Bot (KI 32319) “to kalamee”.

(10/07 13:25:36) Minasunda: Music will be streamed by Eternal Seeker: www.urutunes.com/Seeker

(10/07 13:25:46) Minasunda: The Nulp Dance Group opens the evening with a short but cool performance.

(10/07 13:25:56) Minasunda: In order to see all the effects, it is important not to use an internal client. Please come to the party with your normal MOULa client.

(10/07 13:26:06) Minasunda: After the performance, it’s your turn to dance to your heart’s content. And no, this time there is no “guided dance” 😉 But….

(10/07 13:26:16) Minasunda: … You can dance with a partner of your choice. There are different dances for this. You can access this with PM to Magic-Bot as follows:

(10/07 13:26:29) Minasunda: dancewith [name] [x] – or simply dcw [name] [x]

(10/07 13:26:38) Minasunda: slowdancewith [name] [x] – or simply sldw [name] [x]

(10/07 13:26:46) Minasunda: [name] means the avatar name of your desired dance partner. [x] stands for the number of repetitions (max. 3)

(10/07 13:26:55) Minasunda: And I’m also very happy that, thanks to Mister Magic, you now have the 7 dances that we used to do with the “guided dance” at your free disposal.

(10/07 13:27:04) Minasunda: for this PM to Magic-Bot:

(10/07 13:27:13) Minasunda: minadance[x] [name]

(10/07 13:27:22) Minasunda: Here too, [name] means the avatar name of your desired dance partner. [x] stands for the desired dance – i.e. 1 to 7 – where the odd numbers are slightly faster dances and the even numbers are slightly slower dances.

(10/07 13:27:32) Minasunda: But please – be polite and ask your desired dance partner to dance beforehand. 😀

(10/07 13:27:43) Minasunda: Also note that after calling the command, you will automatically be teleported to your dance partner and take a step backwards to assume the correct position. Make sure that your dance partner is not looking into an abyss, otherwise you would fall 😉

(10/07 13:27:55) Minasunda: By the way: these dances don’t just work at the event – you can use them with Magic Bot at any time 😉

(10/07 13:28:06) Minasunda: I can send you an KI-mail with the dance commands. If you want this, please let me know 🙂

(10/07 13:28:18) IwonK: I want one 😀

(10/07 13:28:21) Minasunda: Ah. on more 😉 …

(10/07 13:28:26) judyg: me too!

(10/07 13:28:32) Minasunda: Karel is doing another music session in the pub next Friday, October 13th at 13 KI Time: “Game Music over the Years”. music:www.urutunes.com/Karel

(10/07 13:33:21) Claidi Song: We have one request for visitors: Please do not post pellet points into the Hood imager…

(10/07 13:33:26) Claidi Song: One of our former students, Yutiel, is listed on that imager. we have refrained from posting pellets to maintain her name at the top as a form of memorial. It’s why we haven’t posted pellet points above 168345: it was to keep her name at the top of the list.

(10/07 13:33:34) Claidi Song: She was a great student and became a close friend in the process.

(10/07 13:33:43) Claidi Song: She was another explorer who left us way too soon.

(10/07 13:33:49) Claidi Song: Are there any questions?

(10/07 13:34:01) Claidi Song: That I can aswner, maybe?

(10/07 13:34:14) IwonK: what is the meaning of life?

(10/07 13:34:15) Claidi Song: Moving on…

(10/07 13:34:20) Claidi Song: The second announcement is about r’Taytahn’s Story Night.

(10/07 13:34:23) rarified: 42

(10/07 13:34:24) Claidi Song: In August, we started the story from the novel, Myst: The Book of D’ni. There are eight parts, total. As there is no Story Night, today, next week will be part eight. After that, we will begin the story from the game of Exile. Next week is story number 82 of 104 in the story cycle of the history of D’ni.

(10/07 13:34:27) IwonK says DOH!

(10/07 13:34:28) caver1: 42

(10/07 13:34:31) Claidi Song: So, there is still plenty of history to go!

(10/07 13:34:36) Claidi Song: As I said, after the Book of D’ni, we will begin the story from the game of Exile. Eventually, we will cover all of the books and games. as well as the three human attempts at the restoration of D’ni!

(10/07 13:34:41) Claidi Song: r’Tay is recording Story Night for (eventual) upload to his YouTube channel (rTayrtahn). He has created an avatar for the purpose of recording. His name is “I’m a bot, do not message”. Please do not PM him during the story unless you want to see your message displayed for the entire internet. 😉

(10/07 13:34:46) Claidi Song: Currently, he is caught up with video compression and has uploaded three more stories to the channel. Unfortunately, he has a sizable backlog of videos to edit and upload. To his channel subscribers, please be patient; he is slowly working through it. :-)S

(10/07 13:34:54) Claidi Song: SNight is held in the public neighborhood of Tsahno’s Hood every Saturday.

(10/07 13:35:25) Minasunda: but not today 😉

(10/07 13:35:56) Claidi Song: Since r’Tay is traveling that makes sense 🙂

(10/07 13:36:18) Claidi Song: Original Story Night is held at 23:30 KI time on Saturday night. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 23:00 KI time.

(10/07 13:36:24) Claidi Song: Story Night – Europe is held at 14:00 KI time on Saturday afternoon. We start gathering at the hood’s fountain starting at 13:30 KI time except for AGM Saturdays, when it starts at 14:00 KI or 30 minutes after the AGM, whichever is later.

(10/07 13:36:49) Claidi Song: There will be no Story Night today due to it being a family member’s birthday weekend and r’Tay will be traveling. 🙂

(10/07 13:36:55) Claidi Song: Good excuse :))

(10/07 13:37:10) Claidi Song: Should he need to cancel one of the stories at the last minute, he will try to aprise one or two of his regular audience members of the situation so they can spread the news. :-)Minasunda is one of those members, as she runs the announcements channel on Discord.

(10/07 13:37:14) Claidi Song: Done 🙂

(10/07 13:37:23) Claidi Song: The stories are told using voice so you will need to have your speakers or headsets on.

(10/07 13:37:28) Claidi Song: r’Tayrtahn announces the start of Story Night through buddy chat. If you would like to receive the announcements, please send r’T a KI mail (with your KI number included in the text) and he’ll add you to his buddies list. His KI number is 58324. KI mails do not identify the KI number of the sender. Though the sender is added to the Recents folder, it is still a good idea to add it to the body of the text. 🙂

(10/07 13:37:33) Claidi Song: We hope to see you there!

(10/07 13:37:40) Claidi Song: Any questions about D’ni Classes or r’Taytahn’s Story Nights, that I may be able to answer? Lol

(10/07 13:37:49) Claidi Song takes off the shokhootahn Rehn surrogate hat

(10/07 13:37:59) Claidi Song: We all look forward to news about fan created ages in the works for MOULa!

(10/07 13:38:06) Claidi Song: And have we got news!

(10/07 13:38:14) Claidi Song: To begin, rarified has information about the progress in fan created ages possibly coming to MOULa.

(10/07 13:38:18) Claidi Song beckons you

(10/07 13:38:18) Claidi Song: The stage is yours rarified!

(10/07 13:38:24) rarified blinks

(10/07 13:38:34) Emor D’ni Lap applauds

(10/07 13:38:46) rarified: Shorah Y’All!

(10/07 13:39:17) rarified: Despite fits and starts and RL on my part, the patient contributors and testers have

(10/07 13:39:42) rarified: continued to roll forward with enough updates and new things to start scheduling

(10/07 13:39:49) rarified: for the next MOULa update.

(10/07 13:40:15) rarified: The bottom line is, if all goes well — crossing fingers — we should be able to deliver

(10/07 13:40:21) Kayara: woot woot

(10/07 13:40:37) rarified: the updates to Cyan late this month. That doesn’t mean (yet) it will be on MOULa,

(10/07 13:40:58) rarified: but it will be on the Cyan testing (staging) server, and our test clan will be busy

(10/07 13:41:11) rarified: trying to make sure nothing surprising creeps in.

(10/07 13:41:33) rarified: I try to schedule two weeks or so on the staging server, so if nothing is found,

(10/07 13:41:53) rarified: we should have an update early-mid November. Hopefully not a turkey! 😛

(10/07 13:42:08) Claidi Song starts to laugh

(10/07 13:42:22) ShilohOBrien: WOOT!!!

(10/07 13:42:28) rarified: We have updates to ages, possibly something new, and improvements both

(10/07 13:42:33) Cave woman: We like to see turkeys in the wild

(10/07 13:42:34) Kayara: woot woot

(10/07 13:42:54) rarified: to old and new things. Thanks to our contributors (too numerous to list here)

(10/07 13:43:10) rarified: and testers (ditto) for a lengthy cycle.

(10/07 13:43:35) rarified: I don’t want to reveal specifics, so if you know contributors (or if any are still

(10/07 13:43:44) rarified: waiting to talk) beat on them.

(10/07 13:43:50) rarified: Questions?

(10/07 13:43:56) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

(10/07 13:44:10) ural: List of future ages?

(10/07 13:44:21) rarified: Ok. We keep chugging in the depths of the cavern, and will emerge when

(10/07 13:44:24) rarified: the dust settles.

(10/07 13:44:35) caver1: How big is the update?

(10/07 13:44:52) rarified: Ural, unfortunately not now. We don’t do a fixed schedule because … volunteers.

(10/07 13:45:05) rarified: The release announcement will list all the additions and changes.

(10/07 13:45:06) ural: K

(10/07 13:45:32) Claidi Song: Thank you, rarified!

(10/07 13:45:33) rarified: I haven’t assembled the changes into a update bundle caver1, so I can’t say yet.

(10/07 13:45:37) rarified bows

(10/07 13:45:58) Emor D’ni Lap: ty for all your work rarified

(10/07 13:45:59) Claidi Song: Hope I didn’t cut you off, rarified.

(10/07 13:46:15) Claidi Song: Now from a fan age creator.

(10/07 13:46:16) rarified: Not at all Claidi Song

(10/07 13:46:22) Claidi Song: TikiBear is working on an age for MOULa and he is here to tell us the IC backstory of that age.

(10/07 13:46:28) Claidi Song beckons you

(10/07 13:46:28) Claidi Song: Please, welcome TikiBear!

(10/07 13:47:03) TikiBear: EEk so much lag!

(10/07 13:47:31) TikiBear: The new Age of Mirtahm is being restored by ametist and myself.

(10/07 13:47:42) TikiBear: I have prepared notes.

(10/07 13:48:01) TikiBear: Mirtahm was found by Rebus and his friends. ametist and I have been restoring the Age.

(10/07 13:48:22) TikiBear: An Age deserted, apparently, after a cataclysmic flood that leaves much under water.

(10/07 13:48:45) TikiBear: There are structures remaining above the water where we have been working.

(10/07 13:49:18) ShilohOBrien: A D’ni version of Venice?

(10/07 13:49:31) TikiBear: From what we have found, we deduce that the D’ni rescued and evacuated the original inhabitants.

(10/07 13:49:31) ural: Water world?

(10/07 13:49:51) Eternal Seeker: Atlantis !

(10/07 13:50:12) TikiBear: Actually, I am looking at an inundated hood, to be called Bevenice. But, that’s for later.

(10/07 13:50:30) ShilohOBrien: *blink-blink*

(10/07 13:50:31) IwonK: Ved’nice 😛

(10/07 13:50:44) Anatheia begins to laugh.

(10/07 13:50:56) TikiBear: The D’ni stayed on for some time, with a small crew, to excavate a mineral.

(10/07 13:51:16) TikiBear: Now, after some cleanup, the age is peaceful, if moody.

(10/07 13:52:02) TikiBear: That explains where we are with restoration. The devil, as always, is in the details, which we are working through.

(10/07 13:52:24) TikiBear: I’m not sure when the Age will be made available.

(10/07 13:52:32) TikiBear: Are there questions?

(10/07 13:52:41) Claidi Song: No questions in the queue

(10/07 13:52:51) ShilohOBrien: Should we use Maintainer suits on our first visit?

(10/07 13:52:53) ural: Will we be able to dive?

(10/07 13:53:00) ShilohOBrien: Or scuba gear?

(10/07 13:53:09) TikiBear: We look forward to everyone getting to see Miartahm.

(10/07 13:53:25) Anatheia: Bravo, ametist and Tiki!

(10/07 13:53:37) caver1: How about a sub?

(10/07 13:53:40) Claidi Song: Thank you, TikiBear!

(10/07 13:53:51) TikiBear: Yes, therewill be plenty of swimming and diving… though ther are fauna to contend with.

(10/07 13:53:54) TikiBear: Thank you!

(10/07 13:54:11) ShilohOBrien makes a note to bring a spear-gun to her relto.

(10/07 13:54:13) Claidi Song: More news about fan ages coming to MOULa . . .

(10/07 13:54:25) Claidi Song: Semjay reports that her new age, The Explorers’ Emporium, is still being refurbished. She is hoping to have it ready for testing by Christmas.

(10/07 13:54:39) Claidi Song: For those who have seen the Emporium in Deep Island this will be exciting news. Semjay’s refurbishing is adding even more fun to the age.

(10/07 13:55:04) Claidi Song: So, we have much to look forward to.

(10/07 13:55:14) Claidi Song: —–

(10/07 13:56:06) Mr.Rogers being respectfully quiet.

(10/07 13:56:07) ShilohOBrien: I’m so OOOOOLLLLDDD!!!

(10/07 13:56:14) Claidi Song: If you haven’t played Riven, you are missing a great adventure!
