THE MYSTERY MONKEY MAN...

At midnight SLT the curse strikes the vampires but this night, as the hour struck, something else happened. It may have been a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time but for this vampire it was right on all levels.

So what happened that had made this day so special? Well it started in a sandbox.. Mythos sandbox to be exact. I come here often as it's relatively quiet and has a great free sound and texture library.

Anyway, being that I wear an amulet to protect me from the curse I thought nothing as the hour of midnight drew closer.

I was therefore astonished when a deadly white fog descended over the area and out of it stepped.... the Mystery Monkey Man.


Now, you know, for a robot Gorilla he cuts a dashing figure but as I cammed around this shiny being, who was so proudly strutting around the sandbox, I was shocked to discover that I too had been transformed. Had this something to do with the curse? We were both vampires, (You can tell by the fangs) and the fog had appeared at midnight so who knows.

Not being the shy type, I asked this fine specimen of robotedness how he was (I assumed he was male since I seemed to have nipples and a brightly coloured headband but he didn't). We chatted for a while and I told him how I love to explore and he offered to accompany me. So metal to metal we stomped off to the first of two destinations.

Kissling was the first port of call and after a short walk we found our destination - The Kissling River Tour. We boarded, took our seats and it was soon time to depart.

(Make sure you have your environment set to midnight for the best effect as you cruise past the great light displays.)

Once we had laughed and giggled our way down the river we explored a little and found a fabulous gingerbread house.

I frolicked in the snow making snow angels, although I am not sure it was such a good idea. 

I could have rusted you know.



We attempted to ice skate but since they wouldnt attach to our feet I decided to pose for a pic instead.

A word of warning - watch out when you exit the skating rink, the drivers in this sim are deadly.



After a quick discussion about where we should go next it was time for a quick trip back to the sandbox to get changed into something a little more formal. Mystery Monkey Man doned a gorgeous red bow tie and black tails and I found a gown fit for a....robot. Then we tp'd to..........Titanic.


I wanted to be Kate Winslet and he decided to be my Leonardo Di Caprio which meant....standing on the bow, arms spread feeling the wind rushing through our hair?


You have no idea how hard it was to keep our balance with the amount of laughter that was being generated.





Then, he held my metal hand in his and we flew to the stern to dance.

It took time to find a dance that didn't have us looking like conjoined twins but once we did we didn't want to stop.






Of course, no trip to Titanic is complete without sitting on the moon and wishing sweet nothings in each other's ear, such as "ohhh baby, you are so shiny tonight. What do you use? Wenol?" How romantic!


I do hope I get a chance to bump into the Mystery Monkey Man again.


He was a knight in shining armour LOL.
