Footman's logg excerpt *cemetary strangeness*

The Badger entered Footman's study, "Mr. Footman Sir, there's someting with the graves.."



"What is it now? did the ghosts possess someone else? Someone dig up M on us?"



"no sir, there's new graves, it looks larger"

"so people are burying more stiffs, it is a city cemetary afterall."

"no sir, it's more like it's growing...the fencing has moved a good 3 inches closer to the plant in fact."

"wait...what?"

Walking outside, they look over the graves. as Grendel rubs the bridge of his nose.

"growing, you're sure of this? aside from a couple new stones, I don't notice anything out of sorts."

"er, some of those new stones are relatively dated..."

"well, keep track of if Badger, the cemetary has had an odd history so far."

"yes sir"

Footman's Logg; August 25 18XX

I wanted to have boxing matches at the plant, the Pengi always used to enjoy matches on the deck of the Rama afterall, and Babbage seems to have a dearthe of gentleman's sports (plus with the loss of the CHampaigne rooms, what else do we have to occupy our spare time?) The large empty space on the floor where the Geistmagorium used to be has been bothering me as well. The unforseen issue I've run into however, is the ring is a bit too large for my plant.

So to get over my dissapointment, I continued work on the accidnt prone Tiamat, where I proceeded to have a peice of the hull come and bend my thumb backwards at a right angle. I had snapped back the thumb easily enough, but the dscoloration stayed, now it was black and blue to add to the rash. I decided a break was in order and after a quick stop near port, have continued on to visit Miss Macbain at the Gangplank, Miss Frye and Mr. Mornington where also there. Mostly talked about land in babbage and my plans to eventually expand the graveyard, then I had to return to the lab and said my goodbyes. I hadn't seen any discoloration on Miss Macbain aside from her recent scarring (I would offer to replace the arm and leg, but to be honest, I think the prosthetics are endearing, and I doubt she'd let me stitch a new leg onto her), So I've decided for now not to tell her there may be some side effects of the serum, it could just easily be summer rash, as it had been a very warm summer and I had found myself in the vernian often

Footman's Logg; August 19 3:02PM 18XX the Vernian Triangle

I had been working on the new airship, the Tiamat, and took it for a test flight before working on the weapons. The Airship...exploded....once I was a few thousand meters in the air.

After patching myself back up again (it had taken a bit to find my left hand), I rebuilt the Tiamat and tried again, with Miss Macbain and Kalee as passengers.

First. Kaylee fund herself somehow stuffed in one of the engines, then we lost her completely as she fell out. Then it got worse, in attempting to navigate to Clockhaven, the laggstorm blew us off course, and we were trapped.....in the Vernian Triangle...

While Miss Macbain had said it seemed like we were undewater, and was worried about what sort of water creatures could live beyond, All I saw was the empty sky, not even the airship around me. The clocks were running backwords, earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave, human sacrifices, dogs and cats living together..mass hysteria!

actually none of that happened, the dimensional limbo we seemed to be in was more dull than anything else, the Tiamat was stuck solid. I told Miss Macbain we may have to risk abandoning ship, she agreed.

I don't know what happened when she left, there one moment, gone the next, I found out later she made it safely back to the Gangplank wih Kaylee, when I bailed though, I found myself, briefly, in some land where everyone was just standing around in an empty white lobby looking confused. It passed once I was able to escape and return to my lab.

I'm considering the Tiamat may be cursed at this point, I'll wait for the wether to improve before I attempt it again

Footman's Logg; August 19 18XX

I've visited Miss Macbain and seen the extent of her injuries, missing leg, eye, some scarring, it's amazing she survived the crash, then again she had the sample of serum I had given her still, but apparantly the doctors that healed her noticed her healing was slowed. She never did say what caused the crash however, could easily have been an airkraken. The prosthetics are well made however, and do nothing to detract from her appearance. Sadly I had to return to my lab and work, so the visit was unfortunatly cut short, work on a new airship, this one different from the Rama and Oroboros class ships and designed more for combat, I've run into a slight hang up mounting the Big Bertha gun on it's carriage however, as the zepplin was unable to lift off the platform with it, I may have to just settle for smaller weapons.

Footman's Logg; August 16 18XX

I've noticed my eyesight has appeared to be getting worse, I've had to taken to wearing my work goggles everywhere's again, the benefit at least is the teloscoping vision I suppose, but reguardless....
the discoloration on my hands has me more worried, it resembles gangreen, but there's no pain, I've kept my gloves on now when I leave home
it's been fairly uneventful since the Geistmagorium exploded, the wreckage has been cleaned up, and there is a large empty space on my floor. the portable Device Mr. Slenderman was trapped in is locked away safely, and all is quiet....
So I've started a new project, I still had tissue samples from the dinosaur that was running amok some time ago, I may be able to utilize it.

OOC: moving OOC's to a new blog

((to clean up my blog here and keep it largely IC, I am moving all my OOC rants and such to 'Footman Unplugged' and will be using that as my general Second Life, non-RP blog...http://footmanunplugged.blogspot.com/))
