After hanging out with Herschel was over, Torchy and I got back on the road. We teleported around a bit, eventually found a large sector and decided to fly around. After a few metro centers a medieval forest unfolded below us. We came to some enormously long and high castle walls. I couldn't find the castle. Just all the damn walls. But the forest was pretty. I spotted a lovely looking pond and decided to touch down for a second.
And then I noticed something. My "build" icon on my menu was lit up. Do you know what this means, Torchy!? I don't care if you don't care, it means we can squat here!No, not that kind of squat, my fiery friend, I mean we can finally dust off that log cabin in a box that's been cramping my pocket and build us a home.
This isn't easy at all, but I manage to lump together the foundation, walls and roof. It isn't going to be perfect but that bothers me not at all. It'll give it charm. There are color polls on the side of each item in order to get the correct alignment. The polls are helpful and all but I can't get rid of them. Maybe they disappear if you have the house built right. In that case, I'll just have to pretend it's a radar tower or something.
There. Good enough. Once I was done, I rotated the cabin to face the water.
I took a page from Frank Lloyd Wright and have my cabin utilizing the nature around me. A tree makes a nice center piece I think. I'm not even going to bother with doors or windows. It was a bitch just getting the easy parts together. And since I'm squatting anyway, my home is anyone's home.We should hit that freebie store up for a chair and an abstract painting, Torchy. Maybe a lamp too.
It's nice to finally have a spot to rest up in between adventures. I hope we go undetected by the land's owner and administrator for awhile, because I could sure get used to this view....

I actually logged in and got a character with some sort of promotion code that said it gave me some land. I'll give it to you if I ever can get on again. My laptop doesn't have the juice to handle second life.
That's too bad about your laptop, CTC. I have the same problem with my desktop computer. That's why I do most of it at work. On my lunch hour...I swear.
Huygens and Torchy would most welcome hanging out with (your avatar name here). Give me your characters name and they'll send ya a friend request.
And please, you're kind, but you must keep that land. Huygens took a vow. He'll squat on land somewhere as long as the owner allows, but he never wants ownership of any. He's weird like that.
