Vapeland seems very quiet tonight. A light breeze is blowing from the woods through the tea-setting area, onto and through the meadow and past the highrise/brownstowne and the small park bewteen them. Leaves and other light detrious matter are scattering around, dancing, bobbing, weaving, and floating. A very beautiful Orangish-brown maple leaf comes into view and freezes in place on the Vapeland air. It starts to glow and then spin and various colors are coming from it, whitish blue, reddish orange and prism like radiances eminating from it until it turns white forms an orb, turns blue, elongates like and egg and drops to the ground in the meadow. The egg cracks open and yardbyrd steps out. His perch, complete with the shaved, bevelled edge, rises mysteriously underneath him and his platinum YB medallion is glowing with a golden hue. You can hear his deep, male, Latin, translated voice, crisp on the fairie air:
"Hail! Greetings! Lauds and Salutations Vapelandians! Viva Vapeland! I trust everyone's holidays were as wonderful as mine and James' were. I will be dropping James here, sometime in the next couple of days, so he may visit with you all in a more conversational manner providing shorter posts.
Ms Morri & Caitlin: I hope that you both will start to feel the affect of this magicked place so that it will ease you both and help you feel better. I'm sorry to hear of your hardware woes Caitlin. I paid about $15 more than the cost of a spinner battery and got an L-Rider. It, a vamo, or some other inexpensive VV may be more suitable; I am so glad the Jolly Old Elf brought me an L-Rider for Christmas.
StereoDreamer and Riversong: Congratulations on the new hardware! 2013 has started off well for you both.
.kmh.: I too share in your regret that my vaping fund is shot and will also miss the probably wonderful Ravyn...it's got to be good with such a byrd-like name!
yuttynut: You are going on my list and I will be holding positive thoughts that you can face, engage, and resolve your issues quickly, calmly, and to the benefit of you and all concerned. I wish you closure.
Madmlucas & Jingles: So good to see your posts....even if you've had a rough go Jingles...hang in there and I'll be pulling for a calmer more stress free year for you.
Plasticones: Sorry you have returned to smoking but all is not lost; you have returned to us here, if only briefly, which signals your desire to be smoke free -we're on your side.
charmed412: After reading your post, "no sleep + blood transfusion + large amounts of coffee= weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" and seeing you have posted again you are indeed charmed!
Monkey, IKAG, and Hill Giant: Happy gaming to you all! Giant I saw you on vapeon.tv the other night; well done. IKAG I hope that your recent issues have been settled amicably, Monkey....what can I say...thanks for the upbeat, cheerfull, supportive and positive posts.
A fond greeting to any and all newcomers and visitors here who I may have overlooked. I see Couture is in and out and in the style of our time I must remark
Hi-Couture!
I will do my best to help James come for a visit. Take care of yourselves, be happy, be positive, and be well. The quotation I leave at the end of my post shows a reason I frequently quote others. Viva Vapeland! Viva La Vapeland! Viva La Vita Vapeland!"
The wind comes up strong, returning from the area of the highrise/brownstone area. Yardbyrd stretches out his wings and his perch begins to descend. As the breeze reaches yardbyrd he stretches his wings and without a single flap mounts the air into the Vapeland sky content to ride the wind like a kite; content to have been here to see you all. His figure seems at home among the sparkling stars, aurora borealis, and fluffy clouds found aloft.

The dawn is breaking over Vapeland, and a sunbeam hits the glass on the top of the highrise and reflects down on the meadow, between the highrise/penthouse area and tea-service center of Vapeland. It begins to waver, grow, and pulse, a golden aura appearing around it as it slowly rises three feet into the air. A lovely looking yellowish-golden brown tendril reaches out and touching that Fairie soil below begins to retract; as it does so a plain, brown, wooden, perch is extracted. Then, from the center of the glowing mass a bluish glob like mass slowly exudes and landing on the perch wavers a bit, turns bluer, and then takes of the form of yardbyrd. The mass retreats into itself until it is gone. Yardbyrd's YB medallion is glowing a rich and reflective golden color. You hear a deep, translated, male, Latin voice, coming from the odd avian as he nods his head to the left and then to the right:
"Hail, greetings, and lauds Vapelandians! Viva Vapeland! Viva La Vapeland! Viva La Vita Vapeland!
I see that there are new ones in our midst! A dwemoner of a good will greeting to darkmoondreamer (have we met before?), rockymtnrobin, ahh two robins now three byrds in our homeland, and Hokus.
I wanted to drop James off to chat with you all, in a more normal fashion, but alas, when I performed the required flyby there was little to no activity; we shall endeavor to do this late next week instead. A fond hello to our "regulars" (as irregular as the may be) -you know who you are! And a couple of specific responses:
Kenzi & IKAG: I thought my tastebuds were shot too re: my latest order of white rabbit. Since you have posted I realize that this is not the case. I'll know to order more flavor next time and ask James to send e-mail as well.
robin931: I refer you to my posts 1/4/13 02:40 AM #12946, 12/31/12 and 10:49 PM #12879. There are several others around Christmas and New Year. If you -or anyone else- missed my Christmas present to everyone...it is a story in the form of a post:12/22/12 8:48 PM #12274. Apparently it was well meant but did not create the effect on the reader that I wished it had; no matter you all know what my intent was.
msmorri: I am so very glad that you are feeling better and like your personalized avatar very much; James just will not allow me to post his image and shuns being photographed...something about it leeching his soul...
Also I have braved a new, wondrous, bewildering, and very informative realm: ::Hatters Guild of Advanced Voltaics:: There, msmorri, I have just posted some small technical information regarding an issue that developed with mine and James' shared Vivi Nova Mini. I got help there, previously, with a battery charger question. There are, indeed, Technical Wizards who post there. Maybe, just maybe, it may shed some light on one of your past negative experiences with this device re: Center post is lopsided. I hope so.
Alas, my friends, I must fly. Our realm grows thanks to our talented and caring patrons. I hope that you all are enjoying their excellent liquids even now as I depart. Viva Vapeland!"
A glob of golden plasma energy suddenly falls from the Vapeland sky. Seeing it yardbyrd takes flight, while his faithful perch descends from whence it came. The plasma energy is expanding and yardbyrd is speeding up to it faster and faster. The blob is glowing and yardyrd is flapping so incredibly fast his wings become a blur, then his legs, and his head and as blue blur meets golden energy they merge, fuse, sparkle gold and blue and vanish.
