Filling In For Saint Lucia

Saint Lucio in the crown
created by CurWay
for Lucia in SecondLife

The queen of Second Sweden, Ms. PetGirl Bergman (a.k.a. Tina Dahl) has taken a well deserved hiatus from her regular duties as regent, janitor, concierge, jack-of-all-trades and inspiring overseer of events.

Meanwhile we have reached the time in the year which usually sees the most magnificent and most well known event at the Swedish Embassy sims in SecondLife, the annual Lucia pageant. This event is traditionally celebrated every December 13th (or sometimes - in SecondLife - the weekend closest to that date).

When it became apparent to the Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm and prince of Cascade Falls, that there seemingly wouldn't be a Lucia Pageant at the Embassy this year, he called for a summit meeting of his staff to confer on this crisis.

After some of the uproar that the lairds news caused among his princes and princesses, dukes and duchesses etc. etc. it was determined that there would be pageants on some of the other Scandinavian sims and a Lucia Party at the friendly Club OrmDricka. Although the laird was somewhat calmed by the information about the OrmDricka festivities he - after a deep sigh - spoke up:

"It is not enough! We cannot let this responsibility be passed on to anyone else. We must take it upon ourselves to see to it that there is a pageant at the Embassy this year like every other year in the history of SecondLife!

Let it therefor be known that Saint Lucio will be filling in for Lucia this year and even if I have to make the walk myself it will be done, as it must be done! 

Inform his majesty king Bieber I at once of my decision, he may want to join with his consort the beautiful lady Nethermind.

Also inform all Swedes and all other people in SecondLife that they will be welcome to join me and walk the walk for Sweden and for SecondLife. We will need Lucias, Lucios, star boys, gingerbread men, chimney sweeps and Santas lots of them all.

The pageant walks on Tuesday December 13th, 2011, 11 AM SLT. Tell all willing and able bodied men and women to be there at 10.30 to get outfitted and ready. Warn them that the laird may decide to sing in voice..."

Landmarks to the pageant and to the viewing section and additional information will be supplied tomorrow Monday December 12th.

All Hail King Bieber I

The McMillan household was in a total uproar yesterday after the Much Honored Bock McMillan, Laird of Southern Charm and Prince of Cascade Falls, had informed his clan that we now have a king in Second Sweden.

The throne of Second Sweden had been empty ever since the former Queen PetGirl III abdicated - as it was rumored among the residents - to go live with her mysterious lover in InWorldz or OpenSims. She abandoned the poor residents of Second Sweden to a ghastly junta of 5-6 unknown avatars.

Well now the household was informed by the laird that we had been saved by a coups d´etat whereby the American avatar formerly known as Taco Rubio, had usurped the throne of Second Sweden under the name His Glorious and Victorious Majesty King Bieber I of Second Sweden.

The clan was amazed by this news as Taco Rubio was well known to them all as the Gingerbread Man from uncounted Lucia pageants, no one had been aware of his ambitions in this matter. Many in the household started doubting loudly whether the new king had the qualifications needed to become king of Second Sweden, but then.Wild Zepp raised his voice and reminded us all that Taco was after all married to the fair lady Nethermind, who was well known to all for her warm heart and sparkling intelligence. As Wild said, "Does anyone really believe that a marvelous woman like the lady Nethermind would deign to marry a dimwit or a beast?"

That sealed the deal as far as the McMillan household concerned and we all started shouting at the top of our voices, "Long live King Bieber, all hail to the king of Second Sweden!"

The laird then continued to inform us that he was going to support the kings claims to the throne. It was not at this time known how the republicans on Solace Island would take the news but it was known that they had also shown love towards Taco in earlier days so hopefully they would accept the ascension.
