I know exactly what you mean, back in Beta you knew most people or at least all the major players. But now i barely know anyone and it really isn't the same game.

"With the target of their anger gone - and with the hapless (and hairless) monkey in no condition to be questioned - Maw and Wallow turned to gaze sadly at the wireframe remains that had so recently been their hippo brother... the wireframe remains that, as they watched, stirred creakily, pulled themselves back into a hippo shape - and stood up!"

Wallow, still an untried youngling, drew back in fright from the apparition - until Maw brushed her hippo sister's shoulder in support, and ventured carefully, "Aren't you dead? I suppose you're going to tell me that's just a flesh wound."

Maw and Wallow whirled in surprise to see their quite-living brother ambling out of the brush, munching a mouthful of grasses... and then all three hippos turned slowly back to the wireframe form that had so recently resmbled Stomp.

"If you're YOU," began Wallow, "then who - and what - is THAT?"

Today's story entry is pre-empted, due to the recent news that the official animal of Second Life has been changed from the hippo to the ferret.

Mustela furo!

Story continues:

"Well, if I'm not mistaken - and I rarely am," said Stomp, "that's what's known as a hippographic zombie... an artificial construct designed to look like a real hippo... look closely, you can see the prim lines."

Maw: "Wow, you're pretty smart Stomp...by the way, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

Stomp chuckled knowingly and began to reply... when suddenly, from the hippo wireframe came a glacial voice... "African... or European...?" and then a hollow, mournful laugh...

How come Sinclair and I are the only ones contributing to the story?

You're all a bunch of Hippo-crites!

I stoped posting on this thread when it became a story thread. :P I use too much of my creative powers in world to come up with witty stories.

What does everyone want from the Easter Hippo?

Really honkin' big eggs. :D


...Wallow stared goggle-eyed at the animated hippo wireframe. "It can talk! It must be some kind of demon!" she wailed.

..."I'm afraid it's even worse than that" dryly replied Stomp. "It knows British comedy."

I motion that we lift the one sentence restriction for the hippo story. (And since Sinclair and I are the only ones that care...)

Then the 'demon' speaks (in a very heavily british accent): "No, I'm not a demon. I was sent by God, ya see. He wants yas ta go find him a holy grail..."

Why, pastel-colored scripted hollow-cut chocolate toroids, of course. Mmm!

"Pardon my bluntness," said Maw to the wireframe, "but I find it difficult to believe you were sent from God. And we're certainly not going to take anything you say at faith value."

I'm sorry, you must have this thread confused with the "Sheep" thread. This is the "Hippos" thread.
