Music to their ears - The Candy Fair 2014

The train had rattled and rolled through the countryside all night. Sleep had been the last thing on her mind as she stole aboard in the orange stained twilight of the city's railway depot. The click-clacking of wheels on rails had formed a pleasant beat in her mind, lulling her into sleep, resting back on her guitar case. As morning had dawned, pale fingers of light stealing through the crack in the door, she had awoken. Pushing the truck door open wide as the train slowly rounded a bend into some small town, she blinked, rubbing her eyes. It didn't help. Something was very wrong. Except for herself, the world and everything in it as far as she could see, was grey.

So far as she could tell, the town was deserted. No workers busied themselves at the station as the train did not halt, merely slowed, the driver apparently as troubled by the place as she, though lacking her curiousity. Sparks flew as wheels spun in place on the tracks, such was the haste with which the train was asked to depart. Jumping down, Lya watched the train pull away into the grey haze of distance. Turning to the town, still she saw no one, streets were empty, but the stores were open, groceries on the shelves still fresh, though as grey as their surroundings. After some time exploring she sank to the ground outside one store, leaning back against a towering grey telegraph pole to rest. Unclipping the latches on her guitar case, she lifted the unusual instrument from its niche and began to play. The soft notes strummed from the strings reverberated in the still street, tendrils of sound wove from the instrument, their vibrations shaking colour from the air. As the song came to an end, sounds from buildings nearby met her ears, the creak of a swing in the playground across the street... She opened her eyes. The grey shadows, so perfectly blended with their surroundings that she had missed them entirely, regained their form, colour and voices. Clambering over a nearby taxi she scrambled up onto the roof of the market to take in a view of the town, restored to life and colour through music.

I want to ride my...

Eloise had been out riding all day, through the fields and down the rutted tracks, her blue bike could handle the terrain. it had been a long, hot day, and she had enjoyed the time with her friends in the countryside. Stopping by the river, upstream, well before the pollution of the town hit, they had waded in the cool green water under the shade of the trees. Spreading out the blanket they had shared a picnic amongst the flowers that bloomed wild in the meadow, a playful reminder of childhood days gone by, the plastic cups of sparkling wine a cheerful nod to their adult state. As the sun passed through the sky, and started its descent it was time to head back to town, after all, she had a date. Emerging from her rented rooms, showered and fresh, still smelling of sun and daisies she was dressed to meet Jacques, brushing some tangled grass from the gears, she was ready.

  They had meet one hot day, a few weeks before, when Eloise had stumbled with some friends into the quiet cafe, their loud laughter and chatter fading in the sombre atmosphere. The cafe was, after all, a refuge for the great and the good of the town from the heat of offices and courtrooms. Retreating to one of the tables outside, shaded by the large parasols, yet with no protection from the noise and bustle of the street, the tables were less popular, and much more suitable. Jacques had noticed her straight away, not the loudest, or the most confident ordering, her sweet smile and clear laugh captured his heart. Risking the ire of the strict manager, as he cleared their table, he slipped a scrap of paper on which he had written his number into her hand along with the receipt. That same evening, they met and rode out for the first time. Now each evening, they kept this rendez-vous. Of course, they didn't just ride. The bike was quiet, and could get past the guards in the factory district. Away from the streets and cafes, often busy long into the summer nights, they headed where they wanted. Following the music from illicit parties, or just the flight of a bird, they were free of care and concerns. Stopping often, not tied by the roads, they shared kisses and promises, and would remain forever, even if only that summer, Jacques & Eloise.

Filthy with some blood

Hoc seems to have a sale or something like that. At least you get there lots of cool stuff for free at the moment. For example a filthy apartment house with four apartments and a cellar. It might be cool on rp sims. They also give away japanese school furniture and even a choke vending automat.Also great for roleplay might be those barrels and the asian screen with the blood. Its just lovely in my opinion.
Even a drow got attracted by the blood. Or maybe she has caused it. Although her Lloth gown from Caverna Obscura seems to be clean. But maybe Drow have a very unique cutting technique. Or the spider on the top quickly drinks the blood before it gets into the cloth. All in all its a lovely gown.
Dress: Caverna Obscura: Lloth Gown (0$ Lucky board but you have to be a groupmember fee for that 500$)
House, barrels, furniture: Hoc (0 Linden)

The outfits on the upper picture were all gifts in the beat clash hunt some months ago.

[lotn: a touch of pink]

After working a lot with bright colours (yes, that's what kept me away from you, lovelies!) I kinda felt the need to brighten up my wardrobe with a few splatters of pink tonight. Yes, pink. It's always a bit hard to mix the different shades of it together -and- combine it with other colours, but if you go easy on those, nothing can go wrong. Plus, many accessoires come with colourchange-HUDs nowadays, so it's pretty easy to achieve a perfect match.


My favourites are actually two new releases: the absolutely lickable 'Strigen'-belt from Schadenfreude and the 'Animal Sneakers' from HOC. The belt is fully sculpted and has an awesome batwing-buckle and silvery coffin studs. A HUD allows you decide on 12 leather colours, and it comes in male and female and high- and low-sitting versions. Said shoes from House of Curious are also highly customizable - you can change -every- part of the sneakers with one of the two HUDs, either picking from preset colours or pick one yourself with the tinting-HUD. You can even make each shoe look different.

Honey kitty X-mas

Honey kitty has a x-mas store group hunt. You have to search for 5 stars hidden in the store. At the end you get a cute x-mas outfit. It comes with two kind of skirts (a red one and a long version of the green shirt like on the picture) and two pairs of socks and hairbows. I think i needed about 10 minutes to find all items. But you have to be member of the Honey kitty group to be allowed to hunt for the stars.
