Auliya laughs at Matthew.
Matthew hugs Genwyn!
Matthew says, "I Swear Those Are Not My Underpants."
Genwyn says, "Got a A++ on that one."
Matthew flips through more essays.
Rax says, "I Swear I Won't Just Take Out the Toy and Throw Away the Cereal This Time."
Matthew says, "Here's a good one. 'Srsly, Rax Dint Rite This!'"

Matthew wrote a number of essays, but most of them came out 'Mew. Mew mew mew prrp mew. Mew?'
Matthew got a C.
Matthew says, "Here's a good one: A Scientific Survey Of Things I Was Able To Shove Into the VCR."
Rax hm at Matthew. "I'm curious about this one: "Microwaving CDs is Funny But Only if They Didn't Come From Miss's Room."
Matthew says, "Also, a series entitled 'This did not want to go into the blender the first time.'"
Calisaya laughs at Matthew. That's great.
Matthew nods. He had a part time job grading Panda School papers.
Rax leaf through with Matthew. "Apparently 911 Doesn't Want To Hear About My Lunch."
Rax ooOOoooo. "1001 Ways Not To Wake Up Auliya in the Morning."

Rax says, "Some of these are very details."

Auliya says, "High school aged people use this MUCK, for sures."
Barel says, "no question about it."
Auliya says, "I don't know how they hear about it."
Rax says, "Word of mouth."
Rax says, "it's how I did."
Rax used to be on here in high school.
Rax says, "Best part? I'd be on during class."
Auliya says, "Hell, I don't know how anyone hears about it."
Drauka rumbles deeply, "a simple google search for sex mush's."
Auliya says, "How do you know to google for that??"
Drauka rumbles deeply, "well, search for MUSH. then you get to the 'adult' themed ones."
Auliya says, "Who thinks 'Hm, sex cottage cheese... no, that's not what I want... Sex squishy... No... sex mushy... OH HAY...'"
Rax says, "There's 529 people online right now. Out of the roughly seven billion in the entire world."
Rax says, "Not hard to imagine that teeny majority stumbled across it in one way or another."
Rax says, "Yes. Teeny majority."
Rax says, "It's what I meant."
Rax says, "SHUT UP."
Auliya LAUGHS.
Auliya says, "I was totally going to let that go until you corrected yourself."

Auliya says, "Well, seems like we all agree it's harder to indulge in deep escapist fantasy when there's voice chat and such. SL seems to have a huge population of people who are not initiated in any way to the whole 'online roleplay' tradition. They're not even aware there's a tradition. They think SL is the first virtual reality ever, for example."
Barel says, "there's an 'online roleplay' tradition?"
Auliya says, "Yes. Online roleplay has been around since the 1980's, and depending where you drawn the line, even before that."
Auliya says, "Depends if you want to include BBS roleplay, or want to wait for the internet."
Calisaya tsks. "The online roleplay tradition extends back to the late 15th century when monks would roleplay by carrier pigeon."
Auliya LAUGHS at Calisaya.
Auliya says, "Calisaya, do you mind if I quote that?"
Calisaya doesn't mind! Have at.
Matthew [God save you and grant you good den, milady Hilary. What wearest thou?]
MelSkunk dies at Matthew's comment
Auliya does remember a boyfriend who did text-based roleplaying via snail mail in the early 90's. A hold-over.
Matthew is here all week, Mel. Sometimes longer.
Auliya laughs and laughs at Matthew.
Barel says, "man, it must have taken WEEKS to have online sex back then!... those poor pigeons."
Calisaya has known a lot of people to do large-group roleplay via email. It's all the same! Just a question of latency.
Matthew says, "Really, I think some Usenet newsgroups were a form of roleplay. Talk.bizarre was for quite some time in random ways."
You say, "Does anyone remember Callahan's?"
Matthew uh huh!
You say, "What was the name of the group?"
Matthew says, "alt.callahans"
Wow, Callahan's... freaky blast from the past. Any nostalgia of your own? I want to hear!
Matthew nod.
Matthew says, "Miss Said No Pudding Cups So This Is a Shoe Filled With Pudding Instead."
Matthew says, "Pencils Hate Me And That's Why They're In The Ceiling Tile."
