That night, I came in an hour early, at midnight SLT, rather than 1 am. During my stay in Japan, it is easy to get mixed up with time zones! I saw Spock sitting next to the pond, on a stone bench there, and I sat down on a boulder near the water.
Pema Pera: Hi Spock!
Spock Yuitza: hello Pema
Pema Pera: Good seeing you here again.
Pema Pera: Are you enjoying these Play as Being meetings?
Spock Yuitza: yes, i enjoy here and relaxing very much, even when I’m on my job
Spock Yuitza: I have a little problem yesterday:
Spock Yuitza: i bought ninja clothes in a house on the sky but i can’t open the box
Spock Yuitza: it say me that isn’t alloved in this land
Pema Pera: here it is allowed
Pema Pera: can you try it here?
Spock Yuitza: yes
Pema Pera: after ten minutes it will be returned to you
Pema Pera: but whatever takes less than ten minutes, you can do here
Spock tried, and as I expected, it worked here. Dakini had given everyone permission to rez objects temporarily, including boxes that contain items that you have just bought in a shop.
Pema Pera: there you go!
Spock Yuitza: oh, now i can
Pema Pera: Dakini, when reading this blog, will smile, and feel vindicated :)
Pema Pera: “you see”, she will say, “that’s why I allow ten minute rezzing grace periods!”
Pema Pera is quietly watching the fish swim in the pond while Spock is dressing up in the grass under the tree
Spock Yuitza: I live the sounds on this place, they are pacefull
Spock Yuitza: love, sorry
Pema Pera: you can live them here too :)
Pema Pera: The shape of your new clothes look great
Pema Pera: however, you’re still not fully rezzed
Pema Pera: you look like a mummy more than a ninja
Pema Pera: :)
Around that time I realized that I was an hour earlier, so I took off.
Pema Pera: Well, I have to go
Pema Pera: It was nice to see you again!
Pema Pera: see you later!
Spock Yuitza: ok, see you
At 1 am, I returned and this time there was nobody around. I waited
for almost half an hour, and just when I was about to leave, Hotaru
stopped by. She was dressed all in black, with a striking presence,
rather different from her many other more colorful forms.
Pema Pera: Hi Hotaru!
Pema Pera: Good seeing you here
Pema Pera: Lady of the night :)
Hotaru Myoo: Good to see you Pema!
Hotaru Myoo: Seems like weeks!
Pema Pera: it does, doesn’t it!
Hotaru Myoo: Sorry to have missed the meeting on Sunday!
Pema Pera: No problem!
Pema Pera: No way that all of us can attend all at the same time
Hotaru Myoo: Well…it seems like you had a good group though
Hotaru Myoo: ah…
Pema Pera: oh sure!
Hotaru Myoo: I see you have gone blue..
Hotaru Myoo: anything to do with your current state of mind?
Pema Pera: Ha, yes, as you will see soon on the blog, Dakini gave me the blues!
Hotaru Myoo: haha
Pema Pera humming “got my mojo working…”
Hotaru Myoo: oh no
Hotaru Myoo covers her ears
Pema Pera: what happened was, hahaha, that somehow Dakini went blue and then we all followed
Pema Pera: couldn’t stay behind
Hotaru Myoo: haha
Hotaru Myoo: I’ll don some blue wings…
Hotaru Myoo: in sympathy
Pema Pera: haha
Pema Pera: I like the black too!
Pema Pera: Queen of the Night
Pema Pera: Alas
Pema Pera: oh, beautiful!
Hotaru had added blue wings to her black dress.
Pema Pera: I’ll have to get going
Hotaru Myoo: well..
Pema Pera: fits well
Hotaru Myoo: I figured as much
Hotaru Myoo: Just thought it had been so long…
Pema Pera: early dinner tonight
Hotaru Myoo: nice
Pema Pera: yes
Hotaru Myoo: enjoy!
Pema Pera: I’m glad you came over!
Hotaru Myoo: Will be back tomorrow!
Hotaru Myoo: Ja mata!
Pema Pera: great! See you then
Pema Pera: ah
Pema Pera: lag!
Hotaru Myoo: don’t that interfere with dinner!
Hotaru Myoo: manga
Hotaru Myoo: interesting play on a word
Hotaru Myoo: nite then!
Hotaru Myoo: ciao
Hotaru Myoo: another one…
Hotaru Myoo: bi!
Hotaru Myoo: haha
Pema Pera: hehe
Pema Pera: yes
Pema Pera: sorry lag was really big
Pema Pera: but now coming back
Hotaru Myoo: np
Hotaru Myoo: chow
Pema Pera: well, I hope you’ll get some sleep soon!!
Hotaru Myoo: thanks
Hotaru Myoo: on my way!
