Leslie, please do not give the controllers of the story cunning and vicious ideas like that.

Soree, Mister Kilo.

No, I've been a quoll since somewhere between July and September last year. Probably closer to July, I think. You haven't seen my quoll avatar on SL yet, have you, Argent?

Heh. I think I'll watch what happens in the fields from a safe distance.

No, I've only met one quoll and very few marsupial predators at all. I've been trying to get someone to make a good numbat avatar forever.

I've never met any other quolls. I haven't seen you online for ages either. I guess we just get on at different times.

It's summer in Houston, which means I only get in-world if I'm up early on a weekend. Too hot to run the big computer otherwise, and I can't afford a more efficient one.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 6:25 am

So that's early evening on a weekend or a Monday for me. Got it. I'll make sure I keep an eye out then if I'm on at that time.

You know, I did expect Sixtoes to ask about Flynn's leg. Apparently he has some tact after all.

Sorry I'm back... summer internship got busy quick. can i have a recap so I can figure a way to jump back in

They're still in the tunnels. They went to where a tree is blocking the exit. Kilo went through the small gap and found a cool, old coin which they gave to Koa to put in his bag for safekeeping. Then Priya dug a bigger hole in the wall, almost causing a cave-in and now the others are about to go through the hole too to see what Kilo saw (which wasn't much). The rabbits are waiting down below since they can't climb up to the hole and since someone needs to wait outside in case anything goes wrong. Sixtoes also just took a dark-light picture of Kilo standing next to Flynn's leg. Flynn, seeing his leg light up, began to reflect on old memories and was lost in thought for a few moments but is paying attention again. Nadia has just joined Sixtoes and Priya in the hole.

In the other group, they've emerged from the tunnels into the field in the woods and they're about to unearth something they found buried.

In the vet clinic, Pyre's got his new cast on and he's about to hit the town with Doc, Oreo and Hutch.

And I think that's it.

Welcome back!

The field isn't in the woods, it marks where the forest ends

To plug myself, I have started putting the latest of the multi-part stories I write up in media median. It's called THE LOPER and part two features an authorized 'guest appearance' from a RA character.

Just how high off the ground is the hole that they're climbing to, by the way?

Kateleo007 · Post by **Kateleo007** » Wed Jun 25, 2014 9:35 pm

Maybe elbow deep. They weren't digging for long, and it was without Tesla's machine.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Wed Jun 25, 2014 10:13 pm

No, sorry, I meant the one that Sixtoes, Nadia and Priya just climbed to. I wanna know how high up it is.

Not more than eight feet, these are human scale tunnels and the bottom is lower than the tunnel ceiling

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 12:24 pm

Cool. Flynn's plan might just work then, assuming he's not too round to fit through the hole.

Do Americans measure rope in metres rather than feet? I notice that Sixtoes mentioned his rope's length as 30 metres. Or was that a mistake?

WeirdGamer · Post by **WeirdGamer** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 1:11 pm

Sadly, those of us in the U.S.A are still suck using the Imperial system. Except for science. And a a few random measurements. But we use feet, not meters.

No, but his math isn't so good.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 9:51 pm

Ah. I thought as much. I did spot his mistake but Flynn convinced me not to point it out since Piper was already embarrassing him.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 6:25 am

If you're making a cargo net, you'll need 4 meters for each lengthwise run, and maybe a meter and a half for each cross run... and you'll need at least six of those if the rabbit isn't going to fall through the gaps. So that's 9 meters gone, leaving you enough for five vertical runs... that's going to be a pretty loose cargo net for a chubby animal a meter and a bit tall to climb.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 7:18 am

"Hey, who are you calling chubby? This is all muscle, mate!"

Calm down, Flynn. He's just joking.

Yeah, I knew we'd be pushing it like that which was why Flynn suggested the tightrope. The rope ladder is a good idea too though.

Argent · Post by **Argent** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 9:32 am

Compact? Burly? Robust?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 9:56 am

"Keep trying."

Be nice, Flynn.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 2:16 pm

I don't know what's in the letter. I can invent something but, as the time capsule idea came from Kate, I'll have Leslie offer the stuff to Blick or Mercury to see what's said.

Heh, I know right? Maybe just say something random yet relatable first?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 9:41 am

Koa definitely won't be able to climb up because of his leg. He should mention something about that.

Piper would probably have a fit if she saw those muddy paws on the fragile papers.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 9:45 am

No, she wouldn't. She'd have swooped in to grab them first...

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 9:46 am

No, she'd be too afraid of ripping them to just grab them out of their paws.

Welsh Halfwit · Post by **Welsh Halfwit** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 10:04 am

Nah, she's not psychic. She's busy doing her own thing anyway.

First of all, I want to apologize for the random posts these couple of days. I had trouble trying to play Priya in a way that I'm comfortable with, and I ended up throwing a spanner into the works due to unneeded stress.

So, with Esper's permission, I'm taking a break from Richmond Acres, and retiring both Priya and Rubens temporarily to re-evaluate a style for Priya, and to study a bit more on her kind of character. I'll return when I feel like I've grasped that fundamental concept.

Again, sorry.

Thing was, as she was doing this, the throbbing in her temple increased in intensity, and even the thick-headed mongoose could feel the pain creeping in. This caused two things to happen. First, the perpetual smile was gone, replaced with a deep frown and clenched teeth. Second, she was beginning to feel a multitude of emotions she had never experienced before.

Before long though, she was done and all the rubble had been cleared. Priya returned to meet Sixtoes, the veins in her temple popping out even through the thick fur.

It's sounding like she has some type of brain tumor, that gets worse when her blood pressure an stress rises.
(check that her eyes are not turning green, SHE-HULK SMASH!!!)
