Return to Alpha.Tribe

I took Flutter to see ‘alpha.tribe’, today…

… to show her all the strange and beautiful stuff, there…

… she was delighted, particularly with all the cats… like me, she loves cats…

… we looked at all the little gatherings of feasting cats, card-playing inter-dimensional beings, computer game playing aliens…

… ‘Is the future weirder than this, Flutter?’ I asked her…

… ‘The future is empty, Seri, you know that’ she replied…

… ‘How can I know that?’ I asked ‘I’ve never been there’…

… ‘Yes you have, silly…’ she answered ‘Who do you think sent me back to you?’

FlutterBye

I recently visited ‘Cloven Forest’…

… I have a new traveling companion, I’ve named her ‘FlutterBye’, Flutter, for short…

… she’s a mechanical butterfly from the future…

… she told me she came back to my time, to be with me…

… because she loves me. I have no reason to disbelieve her… hell, I’m a 4000 year old alien, whose mother is a sentient planet, who am I to disbelieve a little, machine being, who tells me she came to me from the future, because she loves me?…

… besides, I have very quickly come to reciprocate that love…

… it is so wonderful, having this gorgeous little being silently fluttering around me on seemingly delicate wings…

… ‘it’s so pretty, here…’ she said… ‘I love the light’…

… ‘You took the words right out of my mind, sweetheart’ I replied.

* Irritating, glitchy WordPress has suddenly decided, despite the fact I have a paid subscription, I’m not allowed to imbed SLURLS in words, so I’ll have to just give you the whole thing:

Strange Future

I visited ‘Dystopian Night‘, tonight…

… this is meant to be ‘…inspired by Blade Runner and Fifth Element…’. Someone obviously had fun building this destination. It is filled with a seemingly random collection of NPC’s, some of whom fit into the ‘dystopian, Bladerunneresque milieu’, and some of whom simply do not…

… there are many menacing characters…

… doing threatening things…

… no attempt has been made to make any of these characters a uniform size…

… some of them are extremely large, and many of them are pointing guns…

… if there’s a coherent story in this little assembly, I sure couldn’t figure it out…

… this Amazon from a 1950’s drive-in must have gotten herself stuck in a time anomaly, then just kept on delivering junk food in the gear she arrived in…

… this future isn’t so much dystopian as it is dysfunctional.

Prairie Wind

I visited ‘Wind River‘, yesterday. While the buildings were convincingly ‘Wild West’, I didn’t really come to pretend to be a cowgirl…

… it was the minimalist scenery that had attracted me…

… the rustling, dry grass, and the vast, empty sky…

… perfect for the kind of wide, empty backdrop I love so much…

… the landscape here is almost Martian in it’s dry, wind-sculpted beauty…

… and the sky is wonderfully dramatic…

… I adore this kind of scenery…

… and the colours are gorgeous…

… here, cowgirls can have the pinks as well as the blues (:
