Be careful out there... (cont'd)
I didn't finish the story last night because it was late, so I neglected to mention how I eventually got out of there...
(Read the first part of the story first if you haven't already and come back after.)
Eventually after hopping from strange furniture item to strange furniture item, madly trying to position myself and the camera angle to take interesting pics for posting to slpics, my client crashed. So I went over to slpics to see if my pics had been posted, and they had. One of the neat things about slpics is that the pics are geocoded, which means you can just click on the location link and teleport right to where a snapshot was just taken.
So after a few minutes I logged back in. Of course, you generally wind up where you where when you signed off, so I ended up back in that odd furniture chamber. But I wasn't alone. Someone must have clicked on one of the pics and decided to check it out. Turns out it was a girl, so I said,
"Hello there."
She turned around and took a look at me, then ran screaming for the door.
Of course, it wasn't a real door. She tried to walk through it, and bounced off. Next I saw her hand go out as she clicked on it to try to open it, but no go. So I said,
"yeah, I was trapped here too."
And she immediately vanished, teleporting out. Or maybe logging out. After never having said a word. People are funny.
So that is how the story ends. Be careful out there, folks!
