A day in the Second Life of Precipitate Flood
So I login as Precipitate Flood, who’s this alt I made up to see what the situation is like for the newbies these days? And currently she’s in this like punk rock girl mashup style? And Mauve is full of frickin’ bots. I mean, about a dozen avs, mostly all alike, all sitting facing east. Really weird.
[What’s also weird is that for some reason as I wrote this up, I began talking in a quasi Frank Zappa Valley Girl barf-out-gag-me-with-a-spoon argot, and it seemed to fit.]
So anyway I realise that I’m really close to Plum, which has a sandbox, and I have all these animations I’m trying to pad this AO with? So I’m there, and go through my animations putting them into freebie pose stands, and most are really stink.
So after that I find a nice sit anyways, so I start playing around with these free hairs I got, and this dork comes over:
“hi flood” he says. And I’m like, “Hi”, being nice, y’know?
“what did u do today?” So I told him, like, “Been goin’ through some free anims I picked up”, cos nothing dangerous about that right?
“where are u from??” Well, again, didn’t see any danger signs, so I told him the truth didn’t I? “Uh? Oh, New zealand” cos I am.
“ooooooooooooh best wishes” (WTF? I thought to myself.) “nice chance to know u” and I’m starting to feel nervous since I’m not in the mood for like, M or F, y’know?
“can i ask u?” I’m all, OMG, here comes the landmark for Sex Castle or something, but I’m like giving this guy the benefit of the doubt, so I’m like, “Ask what?”
And he asks, get this, “did u read any thing before about islam??” And while I’m all WTF did that come from, he goes “islam???” with like three question marks, and then adds like another four, and I’m like totally alarmed because this guy is pressing me for like an answer, and I find like religious stuff really spooky.
So I’m “Why do you ask?” And he’s “because some people ask me before about islam?” as though he thinks I’m going to ask a complete stranger about his religion, and adds “tv an media talk about it”, which really makes me like, well, I’m not TV or media, I’m like this punk chick, can’t you like tell the difference?
So I like look at his profile, and he’s like two months old and has NOTHING in it. Like, no description, no picks, nothing, total like blank city. And while I’m doing this, this dork is like, “i think it is interest to recognize more about this religion… islam… flood take this web site… www.islamweb.com “ which I’ll put in here cos you might be interested, but by now I was totally like get this loony out of my face NOW.
“That’s OK,” I tell him, “there’s lots of books on it at my local library.” And there are too, and I’ve browsed one or two, and this doofus like cannot take a hint? And wants to know if I have read any? So I get really annoyed and decide to let Sulkpot-ben-Nagnag know I’m pissed now and tell him, “Have I forced my faith on you? I feel you are forcing yours on me.” And I like rez a block and sit on it in case he’s fishing for an excuse to orbit me or something.
“iam sorry >>> but i think it is a gift only… [it ain’t coming across like that!] i did not force u” which is like bull, cos he wouldn’t wait for me to decide for myself? “u choose… is it???” (which is WTF stuff) “it is gust a suggestion only” which is total Yeah Right material.
By now I’d really grown to dislike this nong and emoted so. Which is like starting typing with the word “/me” which is really cool cos nobody knows you’re typing and looks like this:
Precipitate Flood has taken a dislike to the stranger who has approached her for no obvious reason and started going on about Islam.
And he still don’t get that he’s making me uncomfy? And he’s all like “how old are u ????” So I like let him have it: “That is none of your business. I came here to experiment with some poses and I find myself being accosted by someone who will not take a hint. Please leave me be.”
So dickless like goes all sorry and how I like misunderstood him but he likes adds another site? I mean, total like Lord God King Drongoloid, y’know?
