just ignore and let this one die

Change of topic (because I can, and because I want to tell this story).

Saturday, I'm working at the village, and I notice a couple of green dots on my minimap. So I stroll down to the end of the pier to greet the visitors.

There's a man and a Neko girl there, using our diving board. This is fine, that's what it's there for. So I greet them and welcome them to Lebettu. The man asks me where I got the board, so I dig through my inventory, do a search, and give him the SLURL. Then we talk for a bit about my yacht.

Suddenly, I hear gunfire, and I find myself tossed off the dock and into the water. I'm a little surprised, but I jump up out of the water, and here's the guy a little ways down the pier. He's drawn a pair of guns, and rezzed a police car on my dock.

I can't imagine what I might have said or done to annoy him, but I think, OK, this is still all in fun, I'll play along. So I strap on my .45, load for bear, draw and let him have it. The Hydra-shok rounds act like a tosser, and are also target seekers...once you shoot a person, they keep finding him even if he TPs away and comes back. So this guy starts getting bounced around (not too much, Havok 4 reduced the violence of this stuff a lot).

I ask him if he's had enough. He responds by caging me in a tosser of his own (oops, I should've been dodging, not talking, I guess). So I TP out of the cage, click the land, and eject and ban and mute both of them. Game over.

But it really left me wondering...how did this encounter look to them? What went through their minds? It was just so unexpected.

The view from my front door. Stupid neighbor is always walking around shirtless.

Wow, I had ICE a full 1/4" on my pond that day.

I would like to see it improve. We don't need more of the same. "CX"

the guy probably lied and told his future sex kitten he owned the land. LOL

can i come stay at your place for awhile. i'll goo out and have a fine-talking-to with that fellow, and we'll give you a braek and disappear for while. maybe even a whole week.

I didn't know you lived next door to Andrew Cunanan

Welcome to the thread.

Sounds like he wanted to show off for the girl and wasn't expecting anyone to fight back.

Ah.

To me it sounds as if they had toys and they wanted to play with them and likely there was no real malice or anything personal int it. But who knows? You were nice enough to go along with the game for a while.


Ooh what a great place! And the young man looks very nice too he reminds me a little of my son.

if you're going to defame that gorgeous man, my husband, i don't think we can be friends anymore.

Men

What if I wanted dibs on Lindal?

You're MARRIED to Andrew Cunanan???

she might like that little treat.

see sig line for facts as i know them.

The things we will do to attract the ladies.

You have to talk to Lindal her choice... I am still trying to get the job. LOL

And out the front of my house for that 2006 snowstorm - that is my daughter's car we had to dig out.



Fixed the pic size - that is what I get for using a pic my husband edited and saved.

Kaimi, when I lived in San Diego, I lived 12 blocks from the ocean...heaven! Oh, the view and those ocean breezes...

My office at UCSD had a great view out the window. The one tree (in our part of campus) with leaves that would change color in autumn just happened to be right outside my window, so I could get my autumn fix each day!

You are absolutely right about how close the mountains are...if I was really feeling like I needed more autumnal foliage, I would just hop in the car and head for Julian.

HUGE pain in the rump! pretty tho. cute little black truck.

You guys can mud wrestle over me or something. Meanwhile, I'm going to eat these tasty treats...mmm, ice cream and chocolate and bite-sized. Thanks, Lil!

The view from my back porch:

is that a cedar tree in the yard of the red house?

And get an apple pie!
