At The Fantasy Faire

 

 Sunday it was back to the Fantasy Faire, ant it's sights to see. I didn't have as much time as Saturday, but still had plenty of fun.

 

 With the technical glitches gone, the Children of Stories roleplay at 1 PM went smoother.

 

 We were investigating the mystery of the zigurat, and helping out ghosts we found, going through a portal, making a choice of which of three trials to face, and meeting the challenge.

 

Who chooseth the Gold Casket shall gain what many men desire.
Who chooseth the Silver Casket shall get what he deserves.
Who chooseth the Lead Casket must give and hazard all he hath. 

 

 

Those who chose lead ended up facing a challenge that rewarded us with a "Staff of the Fallen." But for one of us, it was so exhausting, it was back to camp.

Going About The Fantasy Faire, And Grid Issues

 

 Yours truly has been exploring some of the Fantasy Faire. Faireland Junction by itself had much to see. 

 

 

 And some people took the opportunity to don a great fantasy look.

 

 

 The Fairchylde is where the daily dance parties are, a rainbow walkway leading to it from the pier. 

 

 I dropped by a set being done by Baine Finch, with people in all kinds of avies dancing away.

 

 But when it was time for the Children of Stories roleplay at 1PM SL time, The Squires of Garland, in which the return of the Golden Hour area is being investigated, along with a huge zigurat. But there was a problem. Linden Lab was working on problems with the Grid, and many avatars wouldn't rezz, or appear partially gray, and some objects wouldn't fully rezz.

 

Investigating - We are undergoing inventory maintenance on April 25th 2026 at 12:40 PM Pacific Time. Please be advised that in-world inventory access, Login activity, rezzing objects, displaying avatars, and loading times may be temporarily impacted during maintenance. Our engineers are working on resolving this issue as soon as possible.

 

 Troubles would continue to 5PM SL time, when some people told me they were starting to clear up.

 

Check the schedule for events today here : https://fantasyfairesl.wordpress.com/calendar/ , or just walk about and enjoy the scenery, and shopping.

Scenes From The Fairlands: "The Desert Foxes"

 

 The Fantasy Faire is one of the mega-events of the Relay for Life fundraising season, one that has become about as beloved as the Relay weekend itself. It's noted for many things, the scenery, the shopping, the Fairelands Quest, and more. One part of this event is the roleplay, done by the Children of Stories. For this year, it's  "The Desert Foxes," in which the characters try to find the cure for Desert Fever, a quest that leads them on quite a journey. Yours truly has been dropping by, when he can, and taking a few pictures. On Monday April 22, I dropped by once more and grabbed a few. 

See the pictures in Events.

Scenes From The Fantasy Faire

 

 

 There's quite a bit going on at the Fantasy Faire. At the Fairchylde, I saw four people holding up "Winter is Coming" signs. Were they "Game of Thrones" fans, or perhaps a hint of what is to come?

 

 There's usually a giant avatar somewhere at the Faire. One night, I saw her dancing next to the Fairchyle.

Not all of the action I saw was at the party ship. The "Children of Stories" roleplay is going on, this year, the tale is "The Desert Foxes." A quest to try and find a hidden library in hopes of finding a cure for Desert Fever led them to a mysterious door ...

The hidden library was found. But to the disappointment of the group, the books were all blank, and the guardian had lost it's memory, including of what happened. So the search continued. 

Stay tuned for more scenes of the Faire.
