O Shepherdess Where Are Thyne Pastures?

The last lamb was exhausted and weak. It looked up to the centre of its tiny world, the shepherdess, the benevolent caretaker and the source of all goodness, and it silently begged for water. "Oh my dear... I am so very, very sorry..." - whispered the young girl, and hugged the little woolly body closer. "There has been no rain for ages, the pastures are fenced, and we are not permitted into town. But I shall not leave you alone, my dear." The thirsty, exhausted girl kept the thirsty, exhausted lamb in her arms, and she was waiting for whatever fate was mapped out for them.

As far as gacha machines are concerned, I made a vow some time ago. "I shall play one gacha machine three times, and I shall be happy with whatever I receive" ... and, oddly enough, the spirits guiding those machine handles reward me with rare or ultra rare pieces amazingly often.

Many of the items I'm showing you here are from the current round of The Fantasy Gacha Carnival, already duly introduced by my swifter-than-the-wind fellow blogger Vyl here. You can tempt your luck at Acerbus Silva until August 31st (or, according to the notice you receive when landing, until September 8th), so you still have a few days to walk around, pick and play.

The picture was taken at El Laberinto Perdido, the latest build by Romy Nayar - quirky and bizarrely cute, as her creations usually are.

Glow

They had called her so she was on her way. It would take her about an hour to get from the lower levels up to those where the rich and wealthy now and then had the chance to see sunlight. Real sunlight not the false light which projectors emitted. If she had wanted it she could have a flat our even a loft up there. There had been many offers in that direction but after having promised to ponder about the proposal she always had a very understandable reason to refuse the offer.
Some shivered when she passed them. They remembered stories of their grandparents and parents about somebody like her and wondered if she was the same person and why she hadn't aged since then. But the situation was fragile and she was known for her knowledge or more her abilities. The best medium of the time - able to predict the future and even more important she knew how to change it. Sometimes she wondered if they would have hired her if they would have known that she was the last AI which had not been destroyed after the war. But she always moved that process of thought out of her main core. The parts she needed to preserve herself were expensive and if anybody wanted a nice future there was no reason why they should not pay her.

Although most of the stores which take part in the final fantasy faire do not really seem to have made items which fit to the topic (there is even a sex motorbike available for those who like it faster) - there are some items there which are pretty. For example the Titania scarf from May's Soul. The scarf is made of unrigged mesh and looks like being made of fur with some feathers as decoration. It is pretty and a good accessory to the dress Junbug made for the current round of we <3 Rp. The dress is simple and - while mesh might (in dependence of the used ao) not be the best to make a long skirt look realistic - because of the lack of decorations very elegant. It would suit as well as wedding dress as in the other available colours for ballroom dancing or roleplay. The dress is available in the standard sizes.
The choosen blindfold comes from 22769. As the scarf it is made of unrigged mesh and can be edited. The blindfold is sold in several colours.
The Erika hair from Wasabi Pills is very variable in the way it can be used. It fits to soften an elegant business look as well as to a romantic dress as in this case.
The Cataclysm tattoo from Fallen Gods can be tinted and used to create unicolour looks.
The poses used come all from Ma Vie. They suit very well to take pictures of long dresses and to create an elegant look with a strong expression.
