VIRTUAL PROWL PAWTY

The crawl space is now very very tight. And sharp.

Faint light gradually drains the darkness, and as it intensifies it shifts from mauve to plum to violet...until the frenzied flickering fuses into a steady amethyst beam, streaming through the tunnel.

The tunnel gradually loses light and becomes opaque blackness, blinding the Anipals.

Silence fills the crawl space, getting smaller, and narrower.
They hear a low, distant rumble.
They feel the earth tremble ever so slightly beneath their paws.
The rumbling intensifies until its deafening bellow fills the darkness.
They clutch the soil in a futile effort to steady themselves.

VIRTUAL PROWL PAWTY

The tunnel has dark, plum-tinted soil and feels like fine talcum powder. And a wonderful aroma fills the tunnel, giving the Anipals comfort, and luring them down the long, long, long corridor.

Okay, anybody who wants to follow me, c'mon! You'll haz to get down on your hands and knees cuz its thorny and might scratch you. So beware!

I found this tunnel, but Mom said I was never to go inside.

But she's not here. So what do you think? Want to explore with me?

VIRTUAL PROWL PAWTY WELCOME

Hi pals! I'm so pleased that you are attending my pawty tonight. I know you have been perplexed about what exactly is a Virtual Prowl Pawty. Well, it's not been done before, so there most likely will be some crazy bugs that will crawl out and need to be squashed (or eaten).

If you are attending the pawty on your computer, you will want to set up a couple tabs so you can tweet and also look at my blog. Alternate between the two as the Adventure unfolds.

There will be a lot of photos posted. A LOT. So please be patient. The photos are fun and I think you will enjoy seeing them. The photos will give you a visual of the Adventure, which I think you will appreciate.

If you haven’t formed teams yet, again please check the guest list and contact each other. However, if when the Adventure begins and someone is still not on a team, I will put the stragglers together.

Why teams? Because there are points in the Adventure where you will need to make decisions. And those decisions may point you in the wrong direction (gasp!)

This is an Adventure where there is a winner! And a prize! Maybe more prizes, we will see.

There are two points in the Adventure where you can win. I’m not telling you, of course. You will know if I tell you!

You won’t be going through the Adventure without help. You will have Guidance, so don’t worry.

However, I haz to warn you. There is DANGER and PERIL in this Adventure!

Some of you may not make it through to the end of the Adventure. But don’t worry. You won’t be left stranded. Your team mates will pick you up and carry you with them.

Also, there will be a big announcement at the end of my Virtual Prowl Pawty. So don’t go running off right away.

I hope you all can stay through to the end. Depending on how sloggy Twitter is tonight will depend on how long this takes. I’m hoping no more than 60-90 minutes. Who knows, we might be blessed by the Angels of Twitterverse and tweets and photos will move along briskly!

So! Welcome. Check out my garden and help yourself to the refreshment noms.

The Virtual Prowl Pawty will begin at 7:30 p.m. Central Time. However, for those of you unable to arrive exactly at 7:30, no worries. The Adventure won’t begin until 15-20 minutes later.

Thanks again, pals!

Love, Herman
