Erie Isle

I've had my excitement for the day, sure - I accidently stole a helicopter and crashed it! I was visiting Erie Isle, a role-playing sim. Here is their web page: http://www.erie-isle.com/

I read all their note cards at the landing site and put on a visitor tag. When I entered the island itself there were several fights going on so I tried to stay out of everyone's way while I looked around. A big black helicopter on the roof of the hospital caught my eye, and the next thing I knew I had climbed up to the roof and sat in the pilot's seat. Sometimes it is so awkward having paws rather than hands - I must have pushed a button because suddenly the chopper was in the air and turning in circles. Somehow I got it partially under control and tried to take it back to the landing pad.


A warning from one of the Game Masters that the helicopter was not to be used by observers got me just rattled enough to crash on an apartment building balcony. The occupant wasn't too happy. She said:
Get off my landing
Or I will end you
One second love

jump
and you will live


You can bet I jumped! I didn't even have time to take a picture of the crash scene. But I didn't break anything when I landed and soon I met a kind being who took me to Club Restricted for a nice drink of water.



Club Restricted was a little scary because everyone who came in the door was "cursed by the Dreadshift" and burst into flame. Fortunately this didn't happen to mere observers like me! They all recovered right away, so maybe the curse isn't too terrible.

I came home thinking that I probably had had enough excitement and wouldn't be going back. But then I read a recent issue of the Erie Isle Seer - and guess what I saw!


An article about the Erie Island Fire Department! I wonder if they need a mascot? I will have to investigate this further!
