So after many duels (26 crustaceans defeated!) I finally retrieved the four bottles of sealant needed to stop the leaks in the dome!  It’s about time – the water was starting to get deep, and I’m not much of a swimmer!  I do hate it when my fur gets wet.  After getting all the required cans of sealant, I went to work plugging leaks!  It was exciting, and a lot more fun than getting hit by meteor strikes…

Still exploring in Celestia, I am still fighting many, many Crustacean Pincers. They’re pretty stingy with the dome sealant I need to find to, you know, stop the dome from filling with water.  As I fight and defeat more and more pincers who do NOT drop sealant, I start to panic over the water that seems to be rising steadily…  I mean, these Marleybone explorers can do the doggy paddle, but me…

I’ve been promising to this forever, and it’s finally here…  Of course it was completely unscripted and my houses are more or less undecorated, so it’s probably not the best tour ever, but I take you through my Fire Tower, including my mysterious Drake Hatchery; my beach hut with it’s hidden passageways; my Sultan’s Palace, with the beginnings of my festival grounds;  and finally my newest house, the amazing Sun Palace with it’s giant ape and hidden grotto!  They’re all connected by a portal network I put together, so I can pop back and forth between them.

I do need to start decorating – I’ve got lots of decorations, I just need take the time to organize them and put some themes together, like the Dragon Hatchery.

In my continued explorations of Celestia, I came upon an explorer from Marleybone who told me about a problem with the dome leaking.  You know, the big dome that keeps all the water out and the ‘being alive’ in?  Well, it seems that some of those nasty crustaceans had scampered away with all their sealant, so they couldn’t stop the leaks, and this was – in his own words – a ‘Spot of Bother’.  This measurement seems to be the equivalent of ‘A Peck of Trouble’ when measured on the Whedon scale.  So naturally, since Ditto is a kind and adventurous monster, I will help ou and try to keep the doggies from coming to a wet and mostly oxygen-free fate.  Read the rest of this page »

Still getting my bearings in Celestia and I stumble across some nasty crustacean types, and it was definitely a more difficult fight than I was expecting.  My opponents were fire, naturally, and at rank 9 had a pretty high resistance to most of my tricks.  They were hitting me with some pretty big stuff too.  It wasn’t too bad, but it was tougher than I expected – keeps you on your toes, right?
