Outside the Glass- NMS Adventures in the Real World

A place for NMS adventures in real life. With or without a plushie.

Inspired by the extreme amount of time and the ridiculous route taken by the Gekster to make it to my house.

Quick! Hand me an oxygen mask!

I’m afraid to look

The big eyes say it all…full of trauma…

A cup of java and a snack. He says he feels much better now

Shhhh…let’s let the little guy rest

That little Gek is going to sell his spaceship. He’s had enough travel to last a lifetime.

Gekster says these things called movies are great and he especially loves the remote control.

This is like that bit at the end of the Lord of The Rings where you get to see everyone just relaxing and enjoying life after a long and arduous journey to Mordor. When can we expect the Extended Editions @sheralmyst ?

Gekster decided to go outside and scan the local flora and fauna.

He soon found a critter and tossed out a creature pellet

He then approached the critter to see what he could tease out of it. Milk? Honey?

But he soon realized the critters on this planet are not tamed by pellets.


He found himself airborne.

Thankfully there was a small tree to grab on the way down.

As soon as he was fairly certain the area was clear, he bounded for the steps to the door

Safe! He made it inside!

Gekster realized either the gravity on this planet was greater than he was used to or his time in transit had taken a toll on him.

He will rethink his next trip outdoors.

I love that tale :+1:

Reminds of when I once ‘stole’ a brand new dinosaur dog toy (off my wife who ordered it with a bulk delivery of pet food) & then spent the next weeks sending her adventure photos.

‘Steggles’ travelled far & wide upon the handlebars of my motorcycle & despite the obvious public embarassment, many photos were taken all over the place.

Upon my return, he was given a reprieve from death-by-doggy & my wife was so amused that she got Steggles a girlfriend, Bronte, and they now live happily together on my workshop desk, safe from doggy jaws and enjoying a life together. :grin:

@Mad-Hatter we’re going to need to see photos of Steggle and Bronte to confirm they are actually safe and havent become dog chowder.

Bronte has a song called The Book Lovers stuck in my head now. Its just a song listing off authors.

It goes through several Bronte’s in succession.

Charlotte Bronte: Hello…
Emily Bronte: Hello…
Anne Bronte: Hellooo..?

Each time he says bronte just gets funnier to me. (Skip to 00:52 for the Bronte’s)

@sheralmyst I approve of these messages :ok_hand:

I’d take my gek out for adventures but he has two cats to contend with. A mother and son combo. Death incarnate, incarnate.

I tried (multiple times) to load up a pic but it seems to just hang & not upload. Rest assured though, Steggles & Bronte are safe & well & seem quite happy.

EDIT: Worked it out… see next post :slightly_smiling_face:

This is completely normal if you’re doing it from your phone XD Probably because of the ghost. This place is haunted you know?

Those are some cute ass dinos :sauropod: Totally worth any and all possible public embarrassment. Which is pronounced Public Coolness. Everyone thought you were cool and the ones who didn’t were just covering up their jealousy with anger or indifference. Obviously.

The artist Grayson Perry created a shrine to his teddy bear, Alan Measles, on the back of his Harley-Davidson.

I always got the impression David Cross was channelling Grayson Perry, stylistically at least, in this

My Gek, who I still have yet to name (I dont even have a shortlist done up of possibilities) is currently evading the patrol of a paper craft newspaper cat until I make room for them on a shelf somewhere. Theyve been keeping my records company mostly.

Omg… maybe thats its name. Shortlist!!?

Name the Gek Shortlist
  • Yes
  • No, just No.

Good thing for the cat you didn’t order a Vy’Keen, I guess… :squinting_face_with_tongue:

Sounds like a gangster nickname that makes passers-by wonder, what wicked story is behind that name? Are you going to invent a background story?

Something like “He arrived too late because the list of the travel stops he was sent through was very long. People made fun of him because he’s short. So they called him Shorty Longlist which soon became Shortlist…”

That’s one cool paper cat

When i worked in the print museum, we would have a winter market where we invite local artists to sell their wares. One guy made these polygonal paper craft animals and gifted the cat to the museum.

A few months later there was a bit of a re-layout/decluttering and they asked did anyone want the cat. Ive never spoken up quicker in all my life.

@Sheralmyst And here I was thinking this all went way off topic, just to notice an unfamiliar title glancing up…

To be continued … woot!
