Soon after I arrived in front of the tea house, Storm dropped out of the sky.
Pema Pera: Hi Storm!
Storm Nordwind: Hi Pema!
Storm Nordwind: You’ll have to excuse me as I eat curry at the same time!
Pema Pera: oh sure!
Pema Pera: I’ll have to leave a bit early today, at the half hour
Storm Nordwind: Just got back from a Buddhism class and had no time to eat beforehand
Pema Pera: ah, in RL
Storm Nordwind: Then let me give you something to celebrate your new land holdings
Storm Nordwind gave you Hat for Pema to celebrate his new land.
I started to wear what Storm had just given me, and it turned out to be yellow crown.
Pema Pera: hahaha
Storm Nordwind: Gotcha!
Pema Pera: and:
Pema Pera: did you see the land I bought in Chokki?
Storm Nordwind: The half sim? yes
Pema Pera: no that’s in the other sim
Storm Nordwind: Oh, no then
Pema Pera: to the NE of that
Storm Nordwind: Wow
Storm Nordwind: Let me check now
Storm took off and flew over to the 4,096 sq. m. that I had bought an hour or so ago, after I had discovered that there were a few small plots for sale there.
Pema Pera: did you find it?
Pema Pera: the land?
Storm Nordwind: Yes I did
Storm Nordwind: And looked around
Storm Nordwind: Very nice plots
Storm Nordwind: all have potential
Pema Pera: thank you!
Pema Pera: We talked about a non-rectangular forest
Pema Pera: now my property is connected across three sims ;>)
Storm Nordwind: Sure!
Pema Pera: i.e. adjacent
Pema Pera: large forest-to-be!
Storm Nordwind: and I will need to build a path for you by the hall down onto the new place
Pema Pera: yes
Pema Pera: !
Storm Nordwind: There is huge potential in the half sim
We then talked about ways to make the land available to the group of frequent PaB visitors, and the pros and cons of various constructs. After that, we returned to ways we could use the land. While we were still talking, Isen stopped by.
Pema Pera: Hi Isen!
Pema Pera: How are ya?
Isen Enzo: Fine, thanks, and you?
Pema Pera: fine!
Pema Pera: More than fine
Isen Enzo: Hello Storm.
Pema Pera: Did you hear about our forestry plans?
Storm Nordwind: Hi Isen :)
Isen Enzo: no.
Pema Pera: Storm is going to master model three quarter sim worth of forest, don’t you, Storm?
Isen Enzo: Wow.
Isen Enzo: Tao.
Storm Nordwind: haha!
Isen Enzo: Taoie zowie!!
Isen Enzo: Will it be a “natural” forest?
Pema Pera: natural forest yes
Storm Nordwind: I can put a temporary forest there for now!
Pema Pera: please do!!!!
Storm Nordwind: Sure. There’ll be no finesse and I will want to replant it when we do the land editing too
Storm Nordwind: Later I suggest streams and such running through too
Pema Pera: wonderful
Storm Nordwind: I’ll also put access steps from the Hall
Isen imagination got into full swing.
Isen Enzo: Birds?
Pema Pera: and a good place for building retreat huts and caves and tree huts and the like
Isen Enzo: Crows?
Storm Nordwind: Of course birds!
Pema Pera: ravens!!!
Storm Nordwind: Crawfford will love it there!
Pema Pera: Can you import ravens?
Isen Enzo: Corvidia!!
Pema Pera: Who is Crawford
Storm Nordwind: haha!
Isen Enzo: Crawford is the crow by my hermitage..
Isen Enzo: named for a crow we had here in RL
Storm Nordwind: Sadly he is kept tethered
Storm Nordwind: Due to the very strict permissions on my land
Isen Enzo: good name for a crow..
Pema Pera: ah!
Isen Enzo: But in a forest….
Isen Enzo: he can fly!!
Storm Nordwind: Yes he can, but needs lots of space
Isen Enzo: “robin red-breast in a cage,
Isen Enzo: puts all heaven in a rage.”
Isen Enzo: Blake..
Isen Enzo: Bill Blake…
Storm Nordwind: Does not make me feel guilty though!
Isen Enzo: sale..
Isen Enzo: brb
Storm Nordwind: We get RL commentary from the bookshop! :)
Isen Enzo: yes
Pema Pera: hahaha
Pema Pera: yes
Pema Pera: well
