Friends Don't Let Friends TPWD

 
This is me moments after realizing how close I came to causing PIXEL TRAGEDY! 

IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! I swear!

Here's what happened. I was browsing the third floor of a shop called Fire Good! while waiting for Alicia Chenaux to arrive to  DJ a short set of tunes as a kick off an art event* at the Hallelujah Azul sim.  I walked casually to the edge of the balcony to watch the crowd gathering below.

Just then, Alicia IMd to ask me if I would TP her to the event location. I said yes, quickly sent the TP, and turned to walk back into the shop.

Suddenly a blur of high heels, black satin and blonde hair flew through my peripheral vision and I realized what I had done. I screamed in both worlds. Alicia announced in group chat that I had thrown her from a balcony. I collapsed in grief (and laughter).

If you look at the picture closely, you can see a tiny, Alicia Chenaux-shaped mark on the cobblestone down below.

Amazingly, she was able to walk it off and went on to play a great set. And I promise to never commit a TPWD (teleporting while distracted) again.

*The Hallelujah Azul Art Walk is an open air exhibit featuring 15 artists from across the grid and different corners of the world. The event runs through Nov. 30th.

Oops, left a comment under my RL account! LOL!!

But as I was saying, it's ok that you threw me off the balcony. You know us fashiony types - we always land on our stiletto heels!
