Voodoo: So, the other day, m'colleague Trinity and I were sitting around, trying to figure out what we could do to entertain our loyal readers, when she came up with another one of her fine ideas We had both heard of a person flying up, and up, using a flight enhancer... to the point where your avatar malfunctions

Trinity : Basically I wanted to break my avatar.

Voodoo: Vandal that you are.

Trinity : I wanted to know how high one had to go to see some change, thinking that sir here would feel the same sense of fun in this. I asked him to come breakup together. I like testing things, pushing them to the limit, see how far u can go

Voodoo: And the anarchist in me always like to do something you shouldn't.

Trinity : SL is supposed to be about your imagination, but we are governed by rules, I wanted to see if we could bend these rules after all it is all a matrix ;-)

Voodoo: THERE IS NO SPOON!

Trinity : Anyway neo here, sorry Voo, came along for the trip. We packed our passports and cameras, flight enhancers at the ready, and up, up and away!

Voodoo: Up into the SL sky.... past the clouds... and soon all we could see was each other, and the height indicator go up and up and up.

Trinity : We started at 9 GMT time caught the flight and away we discovered a few things quickly. Firstly I fly faster than voodoo due to my double flight enhancing :)

Voodoo: (I think she greases herself up to make her body more aerodynamic)

Trinity : Second, that above 800 metres everything just looks the same. The 2 of us alone in the sky, headed high. We stopped a few times along the way, to let Voo catch up

Voodoo: And to check how our altitude was affecting us.

Trinity : And to take pictures of our progress. At about 30,000 we started to notice 'the wobble'. Yes, while most of you couldn't log on for power cuts, we were in the air and wobbling

Voodoo: watching our bodies ripple.... and not in that good muscely way

Trinity : well mine was, his was just weird. Attachments wouldn't attach (and i forgot to change my hair, to that cool hair saved for phototaking, as well!)

Voodoo: typical...... ooooo, my hair looks a state!

Trinity : Well, really ones hair shouldn't go into ones head. Not attractive. Anyway your long locks didn't look very appealing either or your slowly popping out eyeballs either for that matter

Voodoo: You, the readers, can see from the photos exactly how strange the avatars got.... the higher we got.... going from wobbly to melting to blocky

Trinity : Yeah, but we faced a new problem. It wasn't rippling muscles or inability to attach things though. It was that we had been at this for 3 hours, our page up fingers were sore, and it was getting late our independent beds called us.

Voodoo: Some of us needed beauty sleep ;)

Trinity : Yeah we know u do, but we couldn't give up. We knew what had to be done.

Voodoo: So..... cunning plans were needed to allow us to continue our quest while our rl bodies rested

Trinity : Step forward taz and bunny! These mini statues would, with the help of some elastic, hold our page up keys and continue the quest into the wee small hours

Voodoo: So, off to bed we went, eager as children on Xmas eve, awaiting the results

Trinity : They worked like trojans through the night, taking our av's higher than we could have managed. Tired and bleary eyed, off to sleep for us. In the morning i found myself at 850,000. Taz had been busy

Voodoo: And I was at about the same height.

Trinity : I stopped cammed into my rather block like self took a picture and proceeded to crash! NooooooooooO!

Voodoo: I looked like a Lego man

Trinity : is that new Voo?

Voodoo: but managed not to crash myself unlike SOME here

Trinity : Taz had had enough he couldn't handle more page up'ing

Voodoo: So... impressed at the results so far, I decided I couldn't give up here....

Trinity : And i was glad. We needed to know what happened

Voodoo: I left bunny on his dedicated position... and went off to my day job

Trinity : I put taz to bed and waiting to hear from bunny and Voo

Voodoo: On my return.... I discovered that my screen was completely blank... showing nothing but my disembodied tag. I quickly shouted for my esteemed collaborator, and tp'ed her.

Trinity : Forgetting to start flying first i fell then vanished then tp'ed again

Voodoo: (This is what I have to work with.... can't get the staff)

Trinity : Anyway, there we were 2 tags in a sea of sky (1189691 metres to be exact)

Voodoo: We had heard that if this happens, you can go back to the ground, and stay invisible

Trinity : We thought "Ooooo how cool we can go and sneak up on people". We did stay invisible but only to ourselves. I could see Voo and he could see me but I couldn't see me, and he couldn't see himself.

Voodoo: So no ghostly fun to be had

Trinity : Rather disappointing really. Quick relog and we returned to normal (I use the term loosely)

Voodoo: SO... now you know what happens when you fly to close to the SL sun.... and knowing is half the battle

Trinity : Knowledge is dangerous neo, um I mean Voo

Voodoo: Say goodnight Trin

Trinity : Goodnight Trin
