Careful as you navigate around here - this wiki is alive - an evolving collaborative thing.
You may stumble across a page that is merely a seed, an idea waiting to grow,
an article that needs your tending nurturing care, or fiction that looks like fact.
This is the MOMA World.
On opposite sides of the Planet
In 1777, in two very far away places, the same thing was happening - enough people had had enough of domineering arseholes imposing their crap! It was time for change and time for action. It was time to go. In Bali Hai, an Island group in the South Pacific - there had been unrelenting war for several decades... In London, the capital city of the ever expanding British Empire - revolution was brewing and the queers had had enough ...
Exodus from Bali Hai
Exodus from England
Under the command of Captain Flynn, a 3-masted Barque called Molly, left Dover in the spring of 1777 with 94 persons on board.
Convergence
By quirk of fate the Molly and the Bali Hai flotilla converge as they approached the Island of Fafifi in favourable winds.
Aboard the good ship Molly, Xavier Fleetwood (First Mate) and his lover Samuel (Ships Steward) passionately championed the argument for a peaceful approach, recounting earlier debates at Princess Cinnamon's Molly House where the conspiracy to form this exhibition began.
From all accounts on both sides, time was taken and space was given.
Eventually, the entire minus Queen Namali (who was sick) and a few others, made the approach. They were unarmed and seemed to be in good spirits. The British expatriates hurriedly as the Bali Hai approached and it was agreed to accept Captain Flynt's offer that he approach them alone. He was warmly greeted.
A Linguistic Blessing
Among the Bali Hai was something or rather some-one of a blessing way in the form of Peter Nightengale, a young English lad who had who had jumped ship two years earlier as his crewmen sailed away from the Bali Hai Islands ahead of an approaching storm. The Bali Hai had had brief and reasonably uneventful encounter with the crew of the British trader which basically took on some food and water, then left. Peter was integrated into the Bali Hai community and adored by Queen Namali. He soon spoke fluent Bali Hai and so was of great assistence in negotiations between the two groups of converging migrants to the unihabited Island of Fafifi.
A young English man is hugged and cherished by two Pacifica people with an Islander crowd looking on. A ship sails away in the background.
