So I'm looking at the Bureau of Meteorology website, at the rain radar, and it shows a giant kaiju wading toward Rottnest Island, and I'm like "Whoa!" and then I realise there's a gnat walking on my screen.

Notes:

Negotiations on the Pequod started a bit muddy. Captain Ahab believes that the captain of the 'Nautilus' is doing a good thing keeping people away from Neverisle.  Especially the likes of Captain Hook!  But that was until Captain Ahab noticed something about one of the PC's and then couldn't get them off his ship fast enough. Sent them off with his bosun to help.

Thumps in a locked cabin on the Pequod are not investigated fully.

Meanwhile, Moby Dick scratches its back with the Jolly Roger II and Captain James goes down to the hold to shout at it. One player discovers there's some bones in the clockwork of the ship's mechanism but it's not clear what they are. Quite small bones, anyway.

The fearless players return, having shown remarkable restraint in not breaking into any of the cabins on the Pequod. It seems that the bosun from the Pequod may have located the "Nautilus", which has been responsible for the blockade of Neverisle. In the distance,  looming cumulus on the horizon.

The Pequod's bosun, Fedallah used a silver divining bowl and ink, and has accents and speech similar to the Persian gentlemen encountered in Marseilles.

The Jolly Roger II turns to starboard sharply and with definite purpose.

Thanks to bek I have been pummelling some virtual clay for the past evening, runnning Sculptris under Wine. This started off as a sphere. By pummelling, pinching and drawing it is starting to look a bit like a centaur...needs some work yet.

But, yeah, coming along, and not bad for my first attempt at anything virtual 3D.

Gods I hate showing works in progress. Good for me, right?

I remember double sunrises from my youth.

I remember double sunrises from my youth.

I've neither lost or gained any resilience. I feel about as crap after this one as I did back in the 80's.

I am re-reading "What the Dead Said" by D.J Daniells.

I am re-reading "What the Dead Said" by D.J Daniells.

Gee it's good. Highly recommended. Police procedural with ghosts. Only the main detective can't see the ghosts. Everyone else can.
And it's set in Sydney about 10 years from now.
I love the chapter titles.
And Frank.

RPGing is on tonight, but I will be looking to close up around 10 o'clock because Rob might have to be working at 3am tomorrow night and needs to be compost menthos. Food is fend for yourself. If you'd like pizza delivered I can always order it, if it's through Crust it is free delivery. You have to register, which I have.
Happy birthday Rob Masters! There is cake!
