Representing all the ladies of Kinky Haven grid, Wynter Blackthorn and Freya Blackthorn were on the waterfront to greet the HG Safari group as they arrived for the second hour of this week's tour, an epic cruise. The magnificent Dalaran Icebreaker with its iconic beaked figurehead stood waiting for us - it had seating for 40 so there was plenty of room for our dozen or so visitors who arrived slowly, since a lot of us relogged after stop two, hoping to leave behind us the accumulated lag we had built up on OSGrid. This ship cruises the grid all day every day, if you show up at the right time you'll see it magnificently going by - but for us, Wynter held the ship up until we could all arrive.
Nara Nook: are we supposed to get on the boat?
See, right there. People who know proper naval terms know to call a ship a boat. Points for Nara.
Wynter Blackthorn: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome aboard the Dalaran Icebreaker. I am your host, Wynter Blackthorn, and this is an exclusive and custom built tour spanning 20+ regions of Kinky Haven and showcasing many others. Please remain seated while the ship is in motion. I'll encourage you to look to either side during the tour to highlight some of the unique sights, please find your seats and, the ship will depart shortly, we hope you enjoy the ride. And now without further ado, lets be on our way.
Wynter Blackthorn: we recommend a longer draw distance while on the open waters, but a reduced one in some of the heavier resident made regions. if we're lucky we might see the roaming sea monsters that randomly swim in our oceans, but they are kind of shy.
Sven Ingersoll: lol
Wynter Blackthorn: Each bench has seats for 3 and the slave cages on the mast and at the bow of the ship are also sittable
eva.Nowicka: nice ship
Thirza Ember: I actually managed to sit! I'm usually a terrible sitter.
Sven Ingersoll: turning on transparency makes things easier
Wynter Blackthorn: we've never had this many people on this ship before
Nara Nook: it's running really well
Thirza Ember: Am I right in saying this is probably one of the longest cruises in opensim? how many regions does it cross?
