Invisibility Revisited

Strange that I posted last night's blog entry about having been invisible for most of the evening in-world, without so much as an allusion to a most embarrassing experience I had with the phenomenon a few days ago. I had purposely donned an invisibility prim out of a curiosity to see if it would work, and in the hopes it would allow me the chance to do some things on my land without interruption.

I have no idea if it actually worked, in fact I don't think it did judging by what happened.

After working on my land for a while that evening, I decided I was bored and would TP (teleport) to a place called Mournier Nude Beach which is always filled to capacity and is almost always good for a laugh. It's a place where new SL residents inevitably end up, what with the promise of nudity and free sex... who wouldn't at least once just have to check a place like that out? Ironically, it's often the first place male avatars become aware of the fact that they aren't born into this new and wondrous world with all of the necessary equipment with which to fully enjoy free sex and nudity. Believe me, that alone provides endless fodder for laughter, at least on my part, but I'm so easily amused. :-)

Upon my arrival at the landing point, I flew straight up and then over the horde until I was well into the gathering area but in a clear spot for landing, which is my standard procedure there, or else I am trampled, or become stuck, so it just seems to work for me.

Immediately I could just tell something was wrong... I'd actually forgotten I had the invisible prim attached until I read text in chat addressing the 'invisible script person' to which I no sooner replied "I'm sorry" realizing I must somehow be causing some sort of disruption with it, and was abruptly transported into a neighboring sim. I think I was kicked out, but I don't know for sure it all happened so fast, and me, a person who has never so much as earned a parking ticket. I don't know why, but I was mortified. I still don't think I'll be able to show my face there ever again.

I took the prim off, well... I thought I took it off, and went to another place where things really went haywire. As soon as I started to walk, I took off and couldn't stop, turn, fly or anything else, and the next thing I knew I received an IM from someone thanking me for running them over for which I apologized profusely, amidst a long drawn-out explanation. She seemed to believe and forgive me, and I'm really glad she did. I'll NEVER try to be invisible again!
