Moonlight magic

She would put a spell on the world.

When darkness fell in the town of New Babbage, and the majority of scholars at the institute were tucked up in their libraries, common rooms or beds, the nocturnal students were beginning their work. Many took over from their daylight colleagues, keeping the labs and lecture halls filled around the clock. Jayna had spent the twilight hours at study with her companions, ensuring the instruments were in order, whirring and ticking away. As the clock struck thirteen, and the bells began to chime they took to the streets. Perhaps tonight it would work... all of their efforts. Aligning themselves throughout the institute grounds they looked up to the stars, waiting on the movement of planets, for clouds to shift, and moonlight to shine...

They shouldn't have done it. Such was the comment murmured in lecture halls and shouted in corridors and streets. Those nocturnal students had unleashed moonlight on the town, had done it with no communication to those who dwelt in the day. Day had outranked night for hundreds of years, overwhelming numbers had sidelined the night students; the enlightenment itself was named for their victory, for their discoveries, but now... Karyne was unswayed by arguments of tradition and continuity. In the daylight she had toiled for years, developing her science, practising and experimenting. All paths had led to frustration, to a glimpse of what was possible, only for it to be snatched away. Now moonlight bathed the institute, making it hard for her scholarly companions to think, but for her, it opened the door so long locked and bolted. In this new light she could feel it, here and now, magic would begin to happen.

A Clockwork Spiral - The Future Is Bright

Marie4972 was feeling rusty, albeit she knew there was no oxygen in outer space... no rust could therefore consume her delicate cogwheels and shiny surfaces. Yet, she was definitely feeling rusty. Maybe because she had been orbiting Earth, a robot ejected from a spaceship, in the past five hundred years, all alone...? But she had never ever given up hope. One day they would come for her, and take her back to the family she had been serving so faithfully. Yes, they would come. Marie4972 continued watching the magnificent, bright blue planet, and the lights were reflected in her equally bright, blue eyes.

Who might have ever thought that Alia Baroque would go steampunk? Unbelievable it may seem, but it's still true: Fallen Gods Inc. offers four absolutely new and splendid avatars - Anna, Oscar, Marie, and Nicola - at the event called "A Clockwork Spiral". The complete avatars cost 1200 L$ each, but you can purchase the female and male skins (990 L$ each, the 3-piece fatpack costs 1500 L$) and the outfits (390 L$ each) separately. Please don't forget that the event is a fundraiser for the National Kidney Foundation, open until October 1st, and 50 % of the proceeds from the Anna and Oscar sales is donated to the Foundation... so, again, another noble cause to support with your precious Linden Dollars!

Avatar: "Marie Rouille" by Fallen Gods Inc. - 1200 L$, for sale at The Clockwork Spiral.

Pose: "Hat" by BehaviorBody Animations - a freebie available in the mainshop.

Sunday Swiftness

Sunday Swift was an unusual collective. They met, as they named themselves, each Sunday, and these visits seemed over almost before they had begun. They all led such busy lives, it was often the only time each could find to relax, to decompress, to share their woes and delights with others who could truly understand. Someone would bring the coffee, another the tea, sandwiches, biscuits and fruit. Here on the cobbles of the old town square they met, sharing food and stories of their week. Time, always so pressing, seemed to pause here albeit briefly, for friendship, and for fun.
