Cru's Kowloon Adventure
Through various complicated circumstances I found myself in Kowloon, which for the geographically challenged is an urban district in Hong Kong.
Under the canopy to the right, you see the Little Flyer which later caused me no end of trouble. At the time of this snap I am considering purchase. Notice the cool local lighting, possible through advances in Linden viewers! For reasons I don't recall I was dressed as a pirate, right down to my peg leg.
I've never understood why some people in 2L find it such a hoot to hang you upside down from the ceiling. But they do.
The grim mazes in this neighborhood reminded me of scary old adventure games. This place was a theater, so naturally I hoped to find depravity but no such luck.
Here's the vaguely menacing lobby of the Kowloon Hotel. Up the narrow stairs you find lock-able rooms - with nothing inside but grimy tables and chairs. Bring your own animations I guess :)
As to how I went from Kowloon to the sea floor, it's quite simple. In Kowloon I purchased the above-mentioned Little Flyer, brought it to Immanion (thereby exceeding my prim budget), and crashed into the security barrier around Phaonica. As I struggled to break free, I was terrified that our Tigron's powerful Laser Defense System would vaporize me and my tiny craft!
Finally I lurched backward, accelerated in total panic, and plunged into the surf. Where I found a strange seascape I had never seen before.
