Moths

Back in, oh, 2005 I suppose it was, when the northern landmass was discovered by Magellan, we all swooned to see the moth temple for the first time. Xenon was truly an inspired builder, and the exotic abandoned builds hinted at a backstory that residents could knit together from the fragmentary evidence. Prokofy created a group that was intended for a cheerful, fun events beginning at the temple, and ranging wherever the whim drew the group of fliers as they looked for likely places to lay "dwell eggs." :-D In those days the number of avatars and the time they spent on a parcel directly benefited the landowner, so a group flitting in from nowhere was welcome.*

I joined the group (read about it on the forum, perhaps - I don't remember) and immediately made a moth avatar for everyone to wear. Prokofy was imaginative and had us first make sacrifices to the cruel god of autoreturn, then we flew around, coming to rest a few times if we spotted a landowner we could talk to, or saw a nice-looking roof to perch upon. It was fun, although I don't remember how long it went on - I think I went four or five times. A group of moths looked very, very good as it flew about - I loved that.

That's why I fly around every so often, and always on my rezday. This year I attracted some attention and a couple of onlookers hovered nearby, probably thinking, "WTF?" or "LOL WUT?"

* Unlike now when landowners favour gated (or orbed, really) communities.
