In case you missed it, I made an escape room in my apartment, and it ended up being a really powerful way to reconnect with my creativity, sense of self, and love for my friends.
It would mean a lot if you take the time to watch and share my development video about it! ♥️ youtu.be/ISbamI5ODNQ

Stop what you’re doing and read this cyber noir about the driving need to see how deep the rabbit hole goes
dragon lady next to me at the second life rave was too close and her wings kept clipping through my player model. I didn't mind but she apologied each and every time it happened. chat was filled with hundreds of variations of "oop sowwie >_<!! xoxo" and "uaah! not again! orz" by the end of the night
