Fantasy Faire Mole Jail and Bail Event


By Bixyl Shuftan

Wednesday April 29 had at the Fantasy Faire an event that's become a yearly favorite: The Linden and Mole "Jail and Bail." This time, there were two sims involved: Ambigula and Melusina.

Patch and the Lindens locked up on an island, Moles in the pirate galley’s brig. Who gets the DJ? Only YOU can decide! We’ll be setting up a family feud as the donation kiosks decide exactly whose decks DJ David Abbot will be using! It’s another Fantasy Faire Jail’n’Bail to benefit the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, with our very own beloved Lindens and Moles as the very special guest stars! 1-3pm SLT on Melusina’s Depths for the Lindens and on Ambigula for the Moles.


Melusina was packed with 67 residents at one point, so all I could do was occasionally peek over from Ambigula, where a number of moles were behind bars. Abnor Mole, in a dinosaur avie, occasionally had his head peaking out from between the bars. Maximus Mole looked like he was straightjacketed and secured like Hannibal Lectur. Chronos Mole was on a horse, to which there were a few horse manure jokes, "a bag of complimentary horse poop for your Linden Home garden! "The cage wasn't really locked shut, but stuffed with doors.


I couldn't see Patch Linden, but I could hear him, "Ahhhhhhhh you can't keep me here!" Of the Moles, they had their share of supporters, "I love my Log home, shoutout to Moles and Lindens who worked hard on them!" "Supports the freedom of the moles! the eating of Bacon and the clicking of the donation kisok!" "WE WUV DA MOLES!"

It was soon brought up one of the Moles was without his shirt, which got comments from the women, Madonna Daehlie saying, "You shouldn't have shown up shirtless, Derrick. Now Elayne will NEVER let you free!" Another retorted, "Let's bring David back and get hot Linden men shirtless!!" "Wait, they have hot shirtless Linden men? O.O"


As time went on, one woman was holding a sign, "Moles and Lindens on a skewer! Judgement has come!" A more supportive mouse had a simpler, "Free the Moles!"


Someone would hand them a plate of bacon. Someone joked, "I think I've got some of Abnor's potato salad left over from the Mole Appreciation Day if anyone doesn't want bacon." Abnor apparently didn't see it, or it was quickly gone, "FREE ME!! I WANT TO GO EAT.... I mean... BUILD MORE HOUSES!"


It was observed that the Moles' kiosks had a slight lead over the Linden ones most of the event, "You heard Elayne. She thinks she can beat us! HAH! Keep feeding the kiosks, Moles and Ambigula!" Then it was offered to jail Magic Mole if another 40,000L were raised. It soon was, and the diminutive Mole was tossed in the slammer, "We got Magic in a can!"

Other Moles made offers for large donations, Notta Mole saying, "10k L Gets you and 2 friends a guided tour with the Awesome Abnor Mole around Bellisseria for an hour! (I promise you, he's a fantastic driver!)" Abnor shouted, "How much would someone offer to NAME A REGION in Belli? (Subject to approval)"


There were a couple people dancing away on critters, including the old dancing cow from early Second Life, "I feel like im a young resi again.....dancing cow 4 eva" One of the "Pawlice" was dancing away with a rock n roll guitar.

There were a couple people thinking of Uccello Poultry whom it was announced the day before had died, OldeSoul Eldemar shouting, "LET'S DO THIS FOR UCCI !" Patch Linden shouted as well, "DO IT FOR UCCI!"


At 6PM, the Moles were released, and their side of the event had raised over 300,000L in their two kiosks. It was quite a fundraiser.  But this wasn't the only Jail and Bail scheduled. Thursday April 30 promised to have Jessical Lyon of Team Firestorm.
