[12:00 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: Welcome to Safe Waters Foundation weekly aquatic support gathering. My name is Miranda. I will be leading today’s meeting.
[12:00 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): lets us have more people here but it causes some inconveniences
[12:00 PM] Rhodan Fishbottoms (Rhodan Fishtail): The benches come with a handy little light though, for when you drop your kelpcorn and need to pick it back up,
[12:00 PM] Miss Karlie Cobalt (karliekarliekarlie Resident) Greets you
[12:00 PM] Miss Karlie Cobalt (karliekarliekarlie Resident): ‘•.¸ Tala….¸.•´
[12:00 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): I keep getting trapped
[12:01 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid) listens carefully to Miranda
[12:01 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: trapped how?
[12:01 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): under the stands
[12:01 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): I think builders can fix it when they get to it
[12:01 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: I thought I fixed that…
[12:01 PM] Fawn Cobalt: no kelpcorn but I did pick up the krill and plankton bucket
[12:01 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): ooooooh maybe you did!
[12:01 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: Welcome new and old aquatics and friends!
[12:02 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: Safe waters foundation (SWF) is a not-for-profit group supporting the development of harmony and safety for merfolk and aquatics of second life, we bring together designers, retailers, sims, merrow, mermen, mermaids, siren, aquatics and lovers of same.
[12:02 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: People seem to arrive late and depart early. Please don’t be offended but as leader I will try to keep the meeting going. We don’t repeat things for latecomers – a log is posted on our blog after the meeting. This is not a place for public debate – this is a helpful place. we all help each other slive an aquatic lifestyle.
[12:03 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: Because we usually have good attendance – please take a moment to remove all extra attachments and huds. We’d like you to dress low lag. Big poofy hair and jewelry are big culprits, as are bubbles, script things, huds, and such. If we all cooperate, more merfolk can participate with less crashing. Thank you for your help with this.
[12:03 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: so how was yer week merfolk?

[12:19 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: if you have any pressing questions about merfolking in sl now is a great time to ask.
[12:19 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: so we were talking about a list of merfolk places?
[12:20 PM] Vanessa Moore (ImTheProblem Resident): Yes, please.
[12:20 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: one of the many ways we have are adboards. we also have a partner program with ad boards..
[12:21 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: there is a list of hangouts but my poor brain keeps forgetting where the kiosk is
[12:22 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: grace where is it now?
[12:22 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): Finding underwater sites
- Pick up a list of the SWF hangouts – they are on our web page and the poster on the welcome wall
[12:22 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): 2. Visit the portal hub in our partner building – there are a lot of teleports there
[12:23 PM] [V/W] Treasure Chest: Thank you Roiben Sweetwater, for your awesome donation
[12:23 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): 3. Check out the adboards
[12:23 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): 4. Working on developing our travel agency again with self guided tours – Nathaniel Hawthorne is working on that – includes a whale tour, shopping thereapy etc.
[12:23 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): We don’t distribute notecards with such links anymore because they get out of date so fast. The places in our hangout list have applied and hopefully will let us know if they move.
[12:23 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): Consider creating a self guided tour? talk with Nathaniel
[12:24 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: lots of great ways to find mer places.
[12:24 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): We don’t hand out many notecards because they are out of date almost immediately and it is crazy task for us to try to keep current
[12:24 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): Members share their favorites often = which we encourage.
[12:24 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: oh it is
[12:25 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): I will say this tidbit…..
[12:25 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): yes?

[12:26 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: I was able to buy a building kit last year there
[12:26 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): as for Fantasy Faire, and Second Pride… well…
[12:26 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): Fantasy Faire has two underwater regions this year. Although I’m not sure how conducive to swimming one will be considering its train/subway themed
[12:26 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): lol
[12:27 PM] Isskald Resident: :/
[12:27 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): could forgo the subway and swim about?
[12:27 PM] Alyx (AlyxAdventures Resident): Hassle people through the train windows
[12:27 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): wow – they’ve been telling us for years they would never do underwater sim again
[12:27 PM] Roiben Sweetwater: I wish we could have a list of fantasy fair mermaid items for sale there so we ciould know not to miss anything.
[12:27 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): then they do two?
[12:27 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): I think one totally underwater (we are in it) and others have some swimmable areas
[12:27 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: could build a giant glass tube to protect the landers for the train to run through
[12:27 PM] Alyx (AlyxAdventures Resident): I am excited for the teegle kelpie
[12:28 PM] Vanessa Moore (ImTheProblem Resident): Flooded subway lines? 🙂
[12:28 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): The other is being built by Contraption.
[12:28 PM] Isskald Resident: Me too, Alyx
[12:28 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: it’ll be like watching humans at an aquarium
[12:28 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): did Isskald ask question? i didn’t see it does everyone know what FF is?
[12:28 PM] Pão Pão (Bread Bae): ooooh teegle kelpie :0
[12:28 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): well I only know details regarding SL SciFi Con, and the booths there (as with being Security, it’s my job to keep track of Booths, Check them for following rules, and tend to problems grid-wide)

[12:28 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): hahaha

[12:30 PM] Isskald Resident: Cheers Alec
[12:30 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: we’re inclusive here. but I kinda gotta warn against people eating…
[12:30 PM] Rhodan Fishbottoms (Rhodan Fishtail): lol, apparently they think a kelpie is a hippocampus with kelp.
[12:30 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): I wonder if they’ll be mountable like with the normal Teegle Horse Avis
[12:30 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): They are Kristal
[12:31 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): hehehe…… then I dun mind being a Kelpie for a fellow Mer or even a Scuba-diving Human~
[12:31 PM] Isskald Resident: A whole new world is about to open up, Kristal 🙂
[12:31 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: ok I gotta move us on. are there any technical issues people need help with?
[12:31 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): Anything to showcase the beauty of the deep blue, as I have learned and enjoyed during my time as a Mer
[12:31 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): I’m been watching a video series on the Georgia aquarium – they have whale sharks — so gorgeous
[12:31 PM] Vanessa Moore (ImTheProblem Resident): Would certainly get the scuba divers from one place to the next faster than their “fins” 🙂
[12:31 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): funny you say that, Grace
[12:32 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): do all the new people know how to sit?
[12:32 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): funny ha ha?
[12:32 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: if not we can move on to promotions
[12:32 PM] Roiben Sweetwater: yes ty
[12:32 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): This VoidMer has Whale Shark patterns, funnily enough XD
[12:32 PM] Vanessa Moore (ImTheProblem Resident): I know how to sit, but my tail’s AO seems to want me buried in the bench.
[12:32 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): topped over with Reef Shark Markings, of course
[12:32 PM] Miranda Barrowstone rings bell
[12:32 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid) cams
[12:33 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): you should do promo Kristal – IM Miranda so you can demo – she’ll call on you

[12:33 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): if sit on podium people can find you easier
[12:34 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): what is the best approach to ao for bento tails?
[12:34 PM] Isskald Resident: I do have a technocal/creator-related question also.
[12:34 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): there is a technical queston for you
[12:34 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: Isskald, please ask
[12:34 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): heh…… am a tad shy…. and this VoidMer is still a WIP…. but thanks Miss Grace~
[12:35 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): many of the mer community are shy and its okay to quietly listen too
[12:36 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): all are welcome
[12:36 PM] Isskald Resident: Is there anything in the pipeline regarding adult animations for the new mer tails? All I found were very old ones that didn’t work on the Riptide. Any info on that?
[12:36 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: I haven’t heard but some one might know
[12:36 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): we’ve just been getting dances for the bento tails going – I’ve not seen anything adult – I think many mer switch to a legged form for some intimacies
[12:36 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: does riptide have a cssr?
[12:37 PM] Isskald Resident: I doubt it.
[12:37 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): the bento tails have an entirely new skeleton – very time consuming to do animations
[12:37 PM] Isskald Resident: Also, they seem to have issues with questions asked in English
[12:37 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): There’s a potential for some things coming out that is modern in the next few months with a lot of events being geered towards mer creations. Fantasy Faire, Enchantment (not mer specifically but it is fantasy), Conch Island and MerMay hunt by Veles.
[12:37 PM] Julia Ceres wants fishy pixel bouncing
[12:38 PM] Miss Karlie Cobalt (karliekarliekarlie Resident) laughs
[12:38 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: the creators of the adult animations might be talked in to updating
[12:38 PM] Glida Pilote: Sounds good 🙂
[12:38 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): took a lot of talking for me to recruit GOR-geous Animations to do the dances – they have shop in the Haven Mer Mall (portal in info center) – might ask for them to develop something you want t o see
[12:38 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): I’ve heard of Conch Island
[12:38 PM] Glida Pilote: We will test them
[12:38 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: they might be unaware that the new tails can affect their profits
[12:38 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): Conch Island is great – organized and managed by the people who run the big mer discord group: Seafolk of SL
[12:38 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): link is on ourside wall by door
[12:39 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): I’d definitely recommend asking a few creators if they would consider it, particularly those who have delved into mer creators before. (Such as Harshlands, LORE, Kresendo and others)
[12:39 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): mmhmm…. Merrow invited me to the new Seafolk of SL Group….
[12:39 PM] Vanessa Moore (ImTheProblem Resident): Fun to explore Conch Island as well.
[12:39 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): I toured it recently – it has almost a mall

[12:47 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): I would LOVE to see a variation for the Taniwha Shark Mer Tail >///<
[12:47 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): variations are possible if the creator puts in some things – not possible on many
[12:48 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): I’m actually going to soon be expanding my tails that I support to include the Taniwha, Nemissa and Velenne in furture releases (after Fantasy Fare, sobs)
[12:48 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): great thing for creators I think – makes more people buy the base tail
[12:48 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): awwwr D:
[12:48 PM] Isskald Resident: Does that mayfly appendix come with the tail, or is it your addition?
[12:48 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): Well……. guess I gotta wait for after
[12:48 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): Varions are fun, but they are a total rework for each tail – as each one is very very different.
[12:49 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): yup
[12:49 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): The tenrils Isskald? Yes, they come with each tail of the Tulip mod 🙂
[12:49 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): A quick outfit change again to give you a sneak peak at one of my Fantasy Faire exclusives.
[12:49 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): Wonder if it’s possible to get the Petal Skirt and Tendrils alone, as a Stand-alone
[12:50 PM] Julia Ceres: oh yes i need that one
[12:50 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): magic!
[12:50 PM] Peaches2U Camino: dude, what ao you using?
[12:50 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): There’s going to be a dark park and a light pack, this ins inspired by one of V and I’s dear friends.
[12:50 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): This is the Tala!
[12:51 PM] Peaches2U Camino: ~Persu Em~
[12:51 PM] Peaches2U Camino: Thank you
[12:51 PM] Isskald Resident: I do like this
[12:51 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): I’m working my barnacles off to bring you all as much as possible. There will be another tail design and some BOM and material applier items too as NEW event exclusives. ˆ?ˆ
Additionally I will also have all my purple designs in RFL vendors where 100% of sales of RFL vendor items go to the American Cancer Socety. As well as limited edition special editions of existing tails!
[12:51 PM] Miranda Barrowstone claps
[12:51 PM] Alyx (AlyxAdventures Resident): FF is going to eat every linden I have and then some 😮
[12:51 PM] Peaches2U Camino: wooooot!
[12:51 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): At Fantasy Faire (opens on the 18th) you will find myself (Auro), Zen Child Designs, Krature and Mermade all on the same sim; Plankbarrow.
There’s no LMs for now, but we’ll all announce when the time comes. ?
Fantasy Faire means a lot to me, as it’s a relay for life event. I’m a survivor myself who went through experimental treatment, and I can tell you confidently I would not be here today if it weren’t for fundraisers such as this. So it means the world to be part of it, and also to enjoy it with all of you too; banding together with the hope to vanquish cancer. ?
[12:51 PM] Isskald Resident: love the whole pearlescent quality of it
[12:51 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): you Have so many and hopefully your sales will give you more to spend
[12:52 PM] Miranda Barrowstone: thank you Alec
[12:52 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): Hehe I wish, my sales go towards putting food in our pantry
[12:52 PM] Kristal Shard BloodBane-Forest (Kurisutaru Starchild): I did ask earlier…. Dun think I got an answer…. but I wonder if it’s possible to get the Petal Skirt and Tendrils alone, as a Stand-alone, since I don’t have either of those 2 tails….
[12:53 PM] ???? ??s????? (Alec Absinthe): And that’s my announcements done!
[12:53 PM] Granny Grace (Matriarch Mermaid): write to your fav creators – now is not a good time to ask for custom
