The Case of Praying Mary

Mary Millar, serial killer...

Widow Millar was nicknamed 'Praying Mary' due to the gruesome killings of three of her husbands and her habit of praying next to their dead bodies. Mary denied everything and claimed it was all a misunderstanding. Her motives were never understood...

Once Mary was caught during her murderous act towards husband number four, she was sent to the Peatonville Asylum and was locked away in an isolated cell. The number XVIII was engraved over and over on Mary's cell, but no one was able to figure out the meaning for it.

Millar's abandoned house was closed up long ago. Recently, however, it was sold to a family. While refurbishing the house, they discovered a hidden journal underneath the planks on the floor. The journal seems to have been written by Mary herself and it desribes clearly how Mary did not only kill the three men who married her, but fifteen, all of whom refused her proposal or otherwise got in her way.

Madpeas presents "The case of Praying Mary" hunt.

This is a HUD based hunt, where you pay L$10 for the hunt HUD, find all 15 of the physical crosses, on a gridwide hunt, and try out your sleuthing skills in the endgame to receive your prizes! Each cross on the HUD corresponds to one of Mary's victims, and with each one, you are treated to some of the mad ramblings for her journal, as your clue to the location of that physical cross. I've not done a Madpeas hunt before, and I'm amazed. The hunt takes you to some amazingly beautiful sims, though you do need to watch your script count in several (for a time I ended up bald and shoeless). While other hunts don't charge at all, really, L$10 is nothing, really nothing considering the quality of the prizes available, some of which are shown here.

The hunt runs October 5th - November 4th.

Danger! Danger! High Voltage Hunt!

Esmerelda tapped a fingertip against the mic in her hand, checking for the soft electrical hiss, the gentle scream of feedback. She always enjoyed this moment the most. Behind the curtain, feeding from the anticipation rising in the crowd beyond. The general hubbub of noise stilled at the sound from the speakers, feet stopped shuffling. Chairs grated against the floor as the audience, in their intimate little enclaves, turned to face the curtained stage, cocktail glasses and larger pint mugs thumping dully onto tables covered in stained velvet. Hands brought together in a slow beat, one that was getting faster and louder, matching the rhythm of the drums that had begun to swell on the stage.  The lights in the auditorium faded to blackness, leaving only a soft glow around the edges of the curtains.

A flash of light blinded the room as the curtains fell away, a hum of electricity filled the space, arcs of power crackling and jumping across the stage like luminous deadly snakes. Her outline shone, black against all this light as the crowd, from stunned silence, burst into screams and applause. Spotlights found her, the air alive with static as she stood in the midst of it all, skin aglow in the lights, the dark ink of its markings seeming alive and moving in the flickering glare. She raised both hands, bending and bowing to the audience, the skintight dress she wore barely covering what it was meant to, she was bringing the microphone to her painted lips, stepping toward the edge of the stage as the first scream of guitars began behind her.. "Are you ready to ROCK?"

A different me

Recently I've received some different shapes to blog, for the most part of my blogging history I've been rather attached to a shape called 'Lana' by Xanthe Audeburgh of CS shapes and as such have been very reluctant to try anything else, afterall our shape is our identity. It seems to me however, that the shape creators out there tend to get a bit of a raw deal for that very reason. A great shape can compliment and change the look of a skin dramatically so it's important to have a little experiment, most shape stores have demos and it's important to utilise that facility. Believe me there have been many times I wish I'd tried demos before I rushed to buy. Anyway this week I tried out Jemma by Bodacious bodies which a super curvy luscious lady and I Love her!
