Day 1
October 9th, 2008
So here I am on Help Island, freshly rezzed and ready to see what fate will provide. These new default avatars are pretty good, apart from the hands and feet being too big… but oh, that newbie trot! Do chairs provide AOs? They better…
First stop: the board at PopFuzz. Press your letter and it tells you recent sightings. Oooh, hair! I’ll have some of that:
Yay, my first prize. It is ‘Tabby Punk’ by CopyKat. OK, it’s not totally my thing, with the bling in the headband and the spiky prims… but hey, I’m a new av, who knows what my style will turn out to be?
Next up, Popfuzz hands me:
Q: Teleport to [EC&M Apparel] for “*EC&M* Cable Knit Sweater Dress ~ Pumpkin (LC)”:

Your tip is my command, automated board-type thing.
Now I need some shoes, because the clunky grey sneakerish things I rezzed in are not going to cut it with… anything, really. Except jeans. Maybe. I know exactly where to go. Basevi Moda has, like, 11 lucky chairs and they change every three minutes:
Whaddya know, they came out pumpkin too:
But the best thing about these? Free Sexy Walk attachment included in the box. No more newbie trot! Thank you, Basevi Moda, you are awesome. And I will probably be back to steal more of your shoes at regular intervals.
OK, now I remember reading that Rockberry had some boards up, so I decide to head over there:
Lucky letter owned by Heather Beebe gave you ‘[RockBerry] Megan A Tan’ ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/Scaramanga/15/63/70 ).
I find myself a random sandbox to unpack the box, spot a neighboring branch of TorridWear and hop on one of their posestands to show you what things look like at close of play:
Wow, that’s a crappy photo. Not sure what happened there. But you get the general idea.
