Yesh.. we had a bit of an event today.

We marched tiny heads held high to make our tiny voices heard by the lindens who politely ignored us all.. yay!

But hey it was fun and we managed to squeeze in a tiny riverdance!

Taylor Flanagan and SL blogger extrodinairre.

Well… ok we didn’t see much of Art Walk… having got ourselves into trouble waffle bombing  innocent bystanders… I had a look round, and we will post more pics soon.

While visiting works by Taylor Flanagan, particularly enjoying her 50’s retro scene, and a view of a moonlit pirate ship, as if by magic the shop keeper appeared.. no erm.. Taylor herself appeared!.  We had a lovely chat, its most enlightening to have a chance to speak to the people exhibiting their work.

As is always the case in Raglanshire, something unexpected catches you out, and this was no exception.  I wondered around and met up with Etheria (tiny builder) as she appeared to have a load of Italian biggies loitering around her shop and looked like she needed company.

Etheria thought it might be amusing to follow the biggies and see what they were up to… and as every tiny does, be generally friendly.  We tried to say hello to numerous biggies who mostly vanished into a poof of teleportation.  But then all of a sudden….. over at Extravirtual a gang of Pirate Troll/Orc types appeared to cause general disarray, mayhem and general trouble (in good humour though!).  They took the shop hostage, and made themselves known! we decided it was time for a tiny helicopter with waffle bombs – yes the one I got into trouble with earlier – and we took to the skies amid shouts of support from random biggies that were watching the going’s on… The pirates tried to grab the chopper, but we cleared them to waffle attack them most succesfully… well all until they discovered that waffles tasted good even out of a helicopter bomb bay. (and with puppies on top).

Eventually they decided it was time to free the shop, clean up and leave.  I haven’t laughed so much in ages! (well except since the last really funny thing to happen in Raglanshire!)

I promise to take more images soon!

Yes we’ve been spending a lot of time in Raglanshire lately.  This is the land of Tinies, and a fun place it is too.

We were introduced to the game of Frootcake, which appears can become VERY competitive! (Just ask Lucy as things came to a head during her first game when one Tiny laid into her a little to excessively!)  But generally its a very happily played game and the spirit of “cake-jacking” and “extortion” are all excepted practices by those that play regularly.  (all these come with Tiny gestures! so makes it all the more fun as a corus of  “STACKAGE!” rings out around the pub.

The object is to gather a suitable cake to cash ratio to end up with as little as possible… or as much cash as possible! – each cake = a size, that subtracts from your cash..but each cake may also bring you money as each person that passes the cake has to pay a coin… do you get the picture?  we are starting to slowly!

It would seem that Raglan has also slipped into Wild West mode currently (raglan is always alive with themed events) so I have been busy making clothing! so far a hat and leather jacket with shirt combo… oh and a load of gestures I “tinyized” from well known films (blazzing saddles beans eating fart sketch)

I also tried out the tiny cannon, by being a cannonball – and flew a massive 330m, nice work! (got lost finding my way back to the square though!)

But being us we love building so we’ve also built a Tiny robot fox, and a bunch of borg add-ons and gestures (with trebeks own fair voice!)

The thing with Tinies is that somehow all that is human vanishes and really tinies pretty much exist to have fun, you can wonder up to a tiny you’ve never spoken to before (if you’re a tiny) and have a good old natter about things.  I have been dragged over to see other tinys homes elsewhere, had races with tinies (using his home made tiny beach buggy), spent some nice relaxing time in a pool… had gesture matches that seem to consist of finding the funniest thing to say before going “ON A STICK!” – if you’re a tiny you know EXACTLY what I means!  Raglan really makes me feel like remaining tiny all of the time instead of only 98% of my inworld existence!

Being small has never been so much fun!

Trebek almost somewhere half decent on the FROOTCAKE board.

Did I mention Lucy played too? she was a bit good...

The Indians had a camp nearby

The gathering of Dragons

Trebek was introduced to the land of Dragons, or the Isle of Wyrms to be exact by a member of the Tiny community.

Trebek found himself being lucky enough to be “chosen” to receive a dragon avatar, which was the Storm Dragon, a bringer of storms and lightening.  Much appreciative of this prize he has been parading around as much as Possible and visiting the Cathederal where the Dragons reside.

It is an incredible sight, and a truely detailed avatar, which makes becoming a Dragon such an honour!

Trebek’s line in products starts with the Raymaker Cutlass – a classicly designed cutlass to suit any Buccaneer or Pirate. Features an attractive handle, and ribbons. The blade is as long and sharp as you’d expect from a Pirates favourite weapon (well next to his pair of pistols).

Its currently an unscripted weapon, so is just for looks, wear it on your belt, or hold it in your hand and scare folks -Includes the two positions in the box so no fiddling around getting it where you want it, or use both as you wish!
