Adventures

Looks up from her book

Oh! You're back? I suppose that means you want to hear more?
Places a bookmark and sets her book aside

Hmmm... now where was I?

Oh yes.  I had just let Lita ... I mean, Sweetie... go wandering on her own for a time.

Sweetie had recently found a wonderful group, called Community Dolls, with many a doll sister for her to meet and learn from.  They even have a safe haven for dolls, called Sarah's Sanctuary.  Quite a lovely place.  I had already visited the Sanctuary a number of times with Sweetie, and knew it to be a place I could trust to leave her to her own devices for short periods of time without worrying.  I had assumed when she asked to go out, that this would be her primary choice of destination.

For a time I was correct in my thinking - Sweetie even asked me to come visit with her from time to time.  She was making quite the impression with the community herself, making many friends amongst the dolls, winders, and creators alike.

Then, one day, I receive a call from Sweetie.

"Umm.. Lady Sethra?"
"Yes, Lita?" (She hadn't been designated Sweetie at this time yet)
"Um... are you busy?"

At this point I raised my eyebrow at her.  I knew something was up - she knew not to use our mental link wantonly - it's not like I can keep it going endlessly, exhaustion sets in after too short a time still.

"Um... Lady Sethra.. I think I'm stuck."
"Oh dear.  Are you at least able to send me your location?"
" ... I think so?"
After a long pause I receive an image in my mind of a map, along with general impressions of the immediate terrain where Sweetie is stuck.

I only wish I had taken pictures.  I arrive at this lovely pool side location, only to wonder where Sweetie is.  Then... I hear a squeak.  She couldn't have..., I think to myself.  I turn slowly towards the pool as I hear a second squeak.  She did...

As I turn to see Sweetie there, a perfect floating dolphin, so serene amidst the other pool objects, I cannot help but burst into laughter.  And of course I did what any self-respecting Mistress (or friend, for that matter) would do - and I hopped onto her back!   I can't say she found it as amusing as I did, but I had hoped that by the time I cast the counter-spell and freed her that she might perhaps have learned her lesson about strange objects and touching before learning about them.

Well now. Wasn't I wrong.

But again, that is another story, for yet another day.

Oh my, how the time flies...

Isn't it funny just how fast time can whip past you?

Very sorry, my darlings, that it's been so long since my last post.  I've been quite busy these past several weeks, and have been far too exhausted to bother to write about my endeavours and adventures until now.

Progress with Lita is coming along quite well.  Quite well indeed.  Or perhaps I should say "progress with Sweetie", for that is now her monicker.

Building, too, has been favourable.  House of Logoth now offers framed art, kitchens, and doll accessories. In time I shall be ready to unveil my latest designs in homes.

I suppose I should start where I last left off, rather than jumping ahead of myself, though.

Where was I...?  Oh yes.

I had just finished installing Lita's Integrated Consciousness Chip, or ICC for short, and the settings were taking hold nicely.  Lita in fact seemed quite happy to have it.  Since there seemed to be no problems, and she was being so cooperative, I decided to let her go explore on her own.  Oh my, oh my, how I didn't realize just how dangerous (or amusing!) such a simple thing as that could be.  I was, of course, absorbed in my building, so I didn't really think of what could happen at the time.

But that is another story, for another day.  Until then.
