On the commencement of Telefunken Peliatropis' second year as a resident of Second Life, the intrepid foxy takes up blogging to document his explorations in that strange and wonderful virtual world.
I had always resisted having a job in Second Life. My way of having fun is to wander randomly wherever I wanted to and do whatever I wanted to. And although I will still be doing that, I have decided to carve 2 hours out of my busy fun schedule a week and be a host at Industrial Dreamz for DJ Dorientje Woller on Saturdays from 12-2 PM. She is a great DJ and plays music I like, so I think this will be a great way to not only have fun with a good friend, but also help out a place in Second Life that I love very much.
So there you have it. ID Host Telefunken Peliatropis.
The interesting thing about my host trial was that at the time I was in the middle of a violent thunderstorm, but my lights didn't even blink.
The previous evening devolved into a "check out this avatar!" battle which I thankfully did not document. But it was quite good to get back to normal again. I think I am going to enjoy these wings.
Next, I attended a concert by J-Pop singer RiZ at my friend Petite Wozniak's LoveLess stage above her store.
Towards the end of the show, I got a message from SerenityDreams Destiny, an artisan who produces wings and tails for my current favorite tail store, Nek-o-licious, that my custom wings were ready. Check them out!
Outstanding! I can't wait to see how these look on the fox!
Then later it was off to Industrial Dreamz to catch Stephen Garsdale and Frenostra Twine's sets and freak all my friends out with the noob avatar. Shortly into Fren's set I took a break and finished my day at work.
After work, I took a short trip to Michael Cela's club Outpost 13 to listen to one of my favorite DJs, Aramanth Demonia. Or as I and others fondly refer to her as, Arapants. It's a long story. Outpost 13's canned dances are wonderfully dorky.
Then I went back to ID to catch the end of Dorientje Woller's set. Dori is excellent!
When Devin Audion took over the music stream, there was no host available. I have a hosting trial on Thursday so I hopped on the hosting box and practiced for a little while, hopefully not annoying everyone, until Hostess Kairi Seerose showed up a few minutes into Devin's set. Then I was able to go back to simple dorky dancing again, with a giant lolly-pop stuck to my hand.
After some time in ID I felt the need to go to the Sanada Family Temple to meditate on the events of the day and year. Just as I was settling down my friend Fenice Carlucci messaged me, and I invited her to sit with me awhile. We quietly discussed our virtual lives and the metaphysical aspects thereof for some time.
After she left, I spent some more time myself just sitting and thinking and listening to the sounds around me.
Then back to ID for a nightcap, to dance with ID Head Host Reagan Nicholls while listening to the soothing musical stylings of DJ Raith Valeska, and to be taken advantage of by VGtar Carlberg.
My name is John Serdy, and I was born in Phoenixville, PA, USA on April 21, 1964. I grew up in a rural area on my grandfather's small farm outside of town.
Around 1979 I began playing Dungeons & Dragons with some friends of mine, and one of the characters I played was a small furry creature named Chandrashekar Zarathustra Pranhabinmahonran, an Illusionist sidekick/apprentice to my main character Radhruin. His species was a Gashta, or Golden Fuzzy, a species invented by science fiction writer H. Beam Piper.
When I got on the internet in 1990 I began role-playing Chandrashekar on FurryMUCK and Tapestries MUCK, and ran the character there until around 2003.
Many of the friends I had made on these MUCKs made me aware of the furry migration that had begun to Second Life. So on September 14, 2009, I created a character there named Telefunken Peliatropis. Within a month I came in possession of the collection of furry avatars created by wingless Emoto, and settled on the fox avatar. I have used it exclusively ever since.
Around this avatar I have constructed the persona of Telefunken, the rainbow rave fox architect.
