Would You Take a Date to Greenies? (part 2)
Welcome back, Dear Reader. To recap from last week:
I was dragged off to Greenies by a date with far too much creativity.
Though reluctant at first (I mean aliens? How romantic is that?), I quickly found myself charmed by the little creatures.
By any objective measure from a human perspective, one would have to conclude that Greenies are, well, evil.
As evidence—they are bent on World…well, House Domination. There is strong evidence they cook and eat humans...or, at least, want to. And, most telling, they employ cats.
Nonetheless, they are terribly cute. It is likely a fundamental character flaw to consider cuteness as reason enough to forgive bad behavior. Certainly, it’s caused no end of trouble in my romantic pursuits.
Nonetheless, the creatures are terribly engaging…
Greenies, that is, not boys…well, boys too, but…never mind.
Here, let me give you some examples of what the aliens are up to—
As you walk into the kitchen, your eyes should quickly be drawn to the Cat. Crouched by his bowl, he seems fixated on…yes, there’s an alien in his cat bowl! The alien, on closer inspection, is clearly bribing the cat with breakfast cereal.
Up on the table, two greenies are playing with a guitar. One is leaning against a guitar string while his friend pulls it back, back, back…. Suddenly, with a twang, one Greenie falls backwards while the other is catapulted into space!
Another Greenie lies on his back, ignoring the two, listening to something on the iPod. Still another has taken over the laptop. What’s he browsing? Ah, yes, “How to Cook a Human.” Over on the ironing board, a poor Greenie has been squished by the iron, and on the kitchen counter and sink, more hijinks.
Back on the floor, there’s a bottle rocket in a milk bottle. Go ahead, Wak grins (Wak has a thing for girls straddling rocket ships, methinks…not that there’s anything Freudian about it). Reluctantly, I sit on the thing, and am shot straight up to a…a Greenie space platform! After some cautious exploration of Greenie Command, I hijack a flying saucer and return to the kitchen.
If this overview seems cursory, well, that’s because it is. There’s so much to see at Greenies, one can hardly capture it all in a few words. And now, there’s a whole yard outside the kitchen to explore! I’ve been back several times since that first memorable date. Each time, there’s something different. The folks at Rezzable are continually updating the sim. There are events going on at Greenies pretty much every day. Greenies love to party!
And now, the bad news:
Greenies is no longer free to access…at least for humans. If one happens not to be a Greenie, one must have a magic decoder ring. Fortunately, one can buy these in the Greenie store for 99L (or buy a Greenie avatar for a bit more, and join the green horde). It’s a one-time charge for a place you’ll want to come back to…even without a date. Reasons cited for the change include the costs of maintaining such an amazing sim, and, well, Greenies don’t like humans (even little humans) very much. The change is hardly popular, and there is considerable debate about what the change will mean for Greenies.
As for my own thoughts on the matter—who can really put a price tag on World…well, House Domination?
