followed by some fine print on what's allowed.

Hooray! Without delay, I scripted a demo version of Swan the Flying Pegasus (the demo disappears after a minute unless someone is riding her). Next, I construct a touch activated model of her as a black shiny statue in my parking-space sized lot with a few vendors for my pegasi.

Done.

Nearby is the Balance Sim vehicle rezzing area (being spammed by a panahandler named Dratis Aya) and Oak Grove classroom, (no Oaks and no class there, only cacti and desert rocks).

So, luck of the draw. Go visit. It's worth a moment of your time.
