Wolfmoon

They were walking for days. At the beginning of their march she had still had boots but her feet started to hurt and at the third day they were so swollen that she had to take off her boots. She carried them for some more days but when they reached the mountains the skin on her soles was so thick that she did not need them anymore and they also hindered her. She exchanged them for some fruits for herself and some raw meat for Herra. The wolf had guided her the whole way. When they reached the forest she enjoyed the scent of the flowers and the leaves. Secretly she wished to stay but that would be the desicion of the wolf.
The Ugly and the Beautiful have some awesome items which look like being inspired by several animes. The Cerberus Cloak is made of unrigged mesh which allows to edit it. This has been done to take the pictures. For example the hood has been moved a bit to the side and the parts on the shoulders have been moved forward to make sure that the mesh top does not cut into them. All in all they look great and are awesome for pictures but behave like sculpted items. There is unfortunately no demo available in the store.  The mesh top comes from 22769 and is very well made. In the choosen colours it can be used for fantasy outfits as well as in more elegant combinations. The set includes the top in the standard sizes there is a demo available in the store so it is possible to test how they fit. The skirt comes from *COCO* and is made of mesh.
All poses are made by Captivity Co. The wolf comes with several poses which can be adjusted and is currently available and testable at Enchantment.

Dragonbreed

Their whispers wandered through the cave. Slight questions and answers were exchanged then finally not only their hands touched but also the wyrms they carried on their heads. Informations flew from one to an other. And they were one again.

Being apart was always a pain for them and so were the moments when they met again. Akalaia the female one had not managed to stand the pain and fallen onto the soft wet ground so that her companion had to help her up again. He felt weak himself but tried to force himself not to feel the pain because he knew that she would feel it too which would make everything way worse.

It was surprising enough that they still were alive. Ages ago when their kin and the wyrms had managed to nearly kill each other they decided to have ambassadors who would be both wyrm and Nyroyama. So each year the most sensitive children were choosen and forced to unite their mind with a wyrm. Most of them did not survive, the shock of feeling an other mind in their mind was too much for them, others who survived the first shock were not able to stand the pain the foreign thoughts created in them. The feeling of bathing in fire and swimming in lava was nothing they were able to deal with. But some of them managed to realize that the wyrms were forced as they were and managed to find a way to communicate with them. Not that they were able to teach anybody. Every connection was unique. Those were the ones who became ambassadors between the Nyroyama and the Wyrms. Sometimes like in their case they connected somehow to one of those who went through the time of the first massive pain with them. Not that they ever were alone together. The wyrms never left them.
Xoph does not only create the best tentacles in second life. They also normaly take part in the twisted hunt. This time their huntgift is an awesome mix of a dragon and horns. It looks like a bonedragon would be sitting on the head between two impressive horns. The item is resizeable and the set contains a set for normal avatars and one for petites.
At Xoph you actually do not have to search for the twisted cube. You need to solve a ride which includes finding totems which give you some answers. At the end you need to find somebody whom you tell those answers and who gives you the huntgift in exchange. It is fun and there are some cool items to play with in the store. And who wouldn't like falling through a tunnel of lava or to find a path through disappearing stepstones?
RokumeikaN also takes part in this hunt. Their gift is a complete outfit called Knight of Darkness. It suits men as well as women. All primparts have a resizescript, the textures are very well made.
An other great hunt started today. Finding Fab free celebrates 5 years of the FabFree Blog and many stores take part in this. For example A:S:S who made a dragonskin tattoo layer and dragon eyes (made of mesh) as hunt gifts.

The couple pose used in the  picture comes from exposeur and the single poses are both available at purple poses.

Gentleman explorer

Sometimes the flying islands were still a shock for him. And this although Lord Demian III of Sepiana was expected not to be shocked by anything. But solid ground flying in the air was nothing he had been trained to deal with. Of course sooner or later it would be normal for him like everything he had seen on his travels. It was now the 18st year of his journeys. Like all nobles of the house of Sepiana he had started to travel in the age of 23. And as all Sepiana he never said the truth about his age so the truth was he was nearly 30 when he left the grounds where he grew up. He never had tought that he would like traveling and exploring so he had always prefered to celebrate an other 22st birthday instead of going on a trip. There was no real rule how long the journey should last but most of the ones before him came back after a year. Demian didn't do so. He wanted to see as much as possible. Of course he was always perfectly dressed. There was no reason not to look like a gentleman even in the deepest jungle.

This Friday A:S:S opened a new subbrand although it would be more fitting to call it an old subbrand as the items being sold there are clothes for the 18st century gentleman. The name of the brand is A:S:S Decades. The clothes are perfect for roleplaying or for just being dressed elegant. The vest, socks and the breeches on the picturs belong to the Louis set in blue. The shirt is the worn with the sleeves which belong to the shirt which is originally included in the Louis set. All parts are mod and copy. And they are rather easy to adjust.
The hair comes from Wasabi Pills. Its the dragon mesh hair for men in iceberg. Its possible to colour the hairband which holds the upper part of the hair together with the help of a hud.

The pictures have been taken on a wonderful sim, Cerridwen's Cauldron. There are many spots to explore there. And its a great spot for pictures. All the plants seeable on the pictures are sold there in a shop in the sky. Even the store is worth a visit as there are towers and a pretty garden.

Outfit:
Vest, Breeches, Socks: A:S:S Decades - Louis in blue (179 L$)
Shirt: A:S:S Decades - Gerard shirt (75 L$)
Hair: /Wasabi Pills/ Dragon Mesh Hair (1500 L$ for fatpack 250 L$ colourpack)

[welcome to the shadows]

"I'm the luminance in the gloominess - indisputable way to your providence."


As a true lover of all kind of mesh-items and clothing, I keep searching the Marketplace for new releases, usually of the more uncommon kind. To be honest, I was a bit unsure when I found [DustyHut]'s Master's Robe there, but after purchasing the demo, I was instantly hooked! Trying the demo is highly recommended, for the robe comes in one size only, and I'd say that it rather fits the more slender avatars around, so do yourself a favour and make sure it really fits before you buy. An alpha-layer, as well as a so called 'shadow layer' is also included, to simulate the hood's fall off on your body, and it's available in black and brown.


Skin: [dekade] - Beno (at the Narcissus' Room)
Eyes: REPULSE - Bloodsucker Eyes
Make-up: A:S:S - Runway makeup (free, TPRH-item)

In Flames

The fire felt warm in her hand. It was nearly comfy well for her other might have allready started to scream while trying to get rid of the burning flames. Not her. It had been the right thing to spend months in the company of books. First she had to use a lighter to let the flames run over her fingers. There was still a healing scar from one of her first attempts. But then she had found the right book and learned to master the flames. Of course some of her jewelry was helpful. The skull of the raven gave her enough air to keep the fire alive and the bones which had been used for her collar helped her to collect the heat she needed. They had dried in the hot winds of a dessert for years. Nobody really know what they once had been but she did not care anyways. They were power and power was what she wanted.

The festival of sin will start at saturday. Its a event dedicated to the 7 sins. All store owners created items which fit to this theme. The Medusa Necklace from the deluxe brand of A:S:S is one of those items. Its made of many bonelike parts and pearls with some jewels in front. There is a hud included which allows to choose between four colours of the jewels. The hud also helps to resize the collar. The headdress and the pants belong both to the blacklabel part of Miamai. The pants are sculpted and look great with all the lace and the pearls. The headdress is made of a skull with some feathers and flowers. It creates a elegant but as its a skull also dark look. I haven't bought any eyes since Sterling Artistry released the dragon eyes. On the picture they are used in Indigofrost. The have very big reptilian pupils and are available in 12 colours. The claws from Amorous can be turned on and off. It is also possible just to wear the wristlet part of them. They do not only look good they are also great for roleplay. Its the same with the Pipe from Rozoregalia. It comes in a set of several versions of it. Each of them contains eight poses so its a great looking photoprop which can be also used as accessory. The hair on the picture is the first mesh hair from Magika. Its very long so its name fits very well to it - its called Length. The fire on the picture has been created by using the Fuego hud from Kat-ar. Its a hud for CCS, the comunity combat system which is being used in many roleplay sims. The hud offers several ranged weapons, a shield and for melee fight it has the option to fight with burning fists. To be able to use the effects the hud needs mana, it can be recharged with the normal mana but also has own mana which is gained while wearing the hud - until a maximum of mana is reached. Im personally not into fighting, but as being attacked now and then by new players I bought the hud as it fits to my roleplaycharacter and the effects look great.

Headdress: Miamai_Memento Night fascinator (300 L$)
Hair: Magika Length (250 L$)

Fester

The light in the castle was green. There had been humans who became sick only because of the light. Not that any of those who lived in the castle cared about this. More suffering made the things even more intresting. Ages ago Fester had been an elf. Now only some ancient trees remembered the time when he walked frolicing through the forest. Everything could have been perfect. He was the young lord of an old elf clan and supposed to marry the one he loved soon. But then she disappeared. There were rumors that she had been kidnapped by drow and Fester tried to find her. After spending ages in the woods following traces only he could see he had to find out that she had not been kidnapped. She had left by free will with the drow. When Fester found the two she started to beg him to take her back but having been worried about her for so long and finding her with somebody else and not even willing to stand to her desicion made him so angry that he lost his selfcontroll. It wasn't hate what he felt. He despised her. The drow wasn't an opponent for him. Fester fought him down quickly. There was no reason to let the man suffer. But her he wanted to see in pain.

Of course he had known about the castle and he told her that he would let her rest there. If he would have been completly honst he would have added the word final but there was no more reason for him to be honest to her. She was scared, there were rumors about the castle. It was said that it would influence the beings inside of it. But she knew that she had made a mistake so she did not want to doubt his desicions and followed him. Maybe it was the castle, maybe his rage which made him torture her on the most horrible ways. As he always took care only to hurt her in a way which would be really painful and not kill her the torture took weeks. And he changed in this time. His pointy ears became like the ears of humans and he grew antlers while his eyes turned red. Fester did not only torture her he also cut into his own skin but his scars healed imediatly, which made him more angry. He hated to fail in expressing how much she had hurt his heart. Not careing if he would stay alive he used his knife to open his chest and to cut his heart out. A smirk was resting on his lips while he forced her to eat it. After this moment he had been completly turned. A black heart grew inside of his chst and finally he killed her. It wasn't a death by mercy he had become bored of her and lusted for a new victim.

The owner of Miamai and A:S:S are friends so its not surprising that their items fit well together. For example this coat for men from the Miamai Blacklabel with the feastring from A:S:S deluxe. The coat comes with sculpted sleeves, a great collar and shoulderpads which look like having been made of elegantly formed stones decorated with gems. The set includes pants and also a band to wear around the hips and lower stomach. The coat could either be worn with plain black or with white black fur in the inside. The feast ring from A:S:S deluxe could be described best with "the beauty of decay". It is big and extravagant and as beautiful it is there are maggots on it. The ring has a resizescript which makes it very comfy to adjust it perfectly. The antlers come from material squirell they have the option to tint them in several colours. They are made of nonrigged mesh which explains why they look so smooth. The skin is the angelus skin from Fallen Gods Inc. which also works for pale more evil roleplay characters and the hair comes from Wasabi Pills and is also made of mesh. The boots from DragansVarg are for females but they are mod so it was possible to make them bigger to use them with a male avatar.

[i'm your last threat]

I am
your last thread
the one that lurks
in the shadows as you walk past
confidently
and powerful
and innocent at least you
strive to the slaughter
my little lamb
of god.



This post, and also the first picture, has been inspired by quite a variety of items, the most powerful most likely being ~Tableau Vivant~'s latest release, the Adam skin, with its more-than-awesome non-eyebrow option. I have to confess that I was rather skeptical in the beginning, but after I considered how easy it is to create extraordinary looks with little effort, I was convinced. In this case, Nuuna's awesome eyebrow collection was a great help, and an inexpensive one, too! With a mere 200 L$ for 22 different brows on tattoo layer they're really a must have for everyone that likes to toy around with the subject.

Since it's my last thread of this year, it fits nicely that it's gonna be about Last Threads, too - in this case, I'm talking about A:S:S's contribution for this weekend's LVE. Available in 7 colours, the artistically shredded and torn shirt goes well with both glamorous and grungy styles and is unisex, too! The special price for La Venta Eventa is just 40 L$ for a single shirt, but the Last Thread's gonna be available in store after the event, too. The awesome claws I'm wearing are one of the newer releases from the superawesomedroolalicious jewelry store : Amorous : and have lots of functions (apart from looking gorgeous): you can hide and show the claws or choose between a plain claw option or another version that has additional, small claw-rings on thumb and ring finger.

That's it from me for this year - thanks to all of our followers for some truly great 12 months in the blogosphere! Slip well into 2012... I'll see you there! <3

[count frost]

Ever wondered where all those metal heads in SL are hiding? They already seem to be a rather rare species in RL, at least where I'm living - and if we're talking about those people whose outfit tells you what music they might like. It doesn't seem to be much different in Second Life, so I was having some trouble to dress accordingly to my (musical) mood when I recently re-discovered my love for Black Metal. Thankfully, there is certainly no lack of awesome leather pants and net shirts in our little world, so the basics were there, and I remembered the Cake hair I'd bought ages ago and which matched the look perfectly, but... the rest?

While looking through old screenshots, my eyes caught a pair of spiked armbands I was wearing on one, and after some research, I also remembered the store's name: [SP] - Spider Productions, established in 2005. This shop does not only sell spikes, studs, and everything that looks awesome when you're going for a darker look, but also stunning hybrid avatars (such as dragons), armor, jewellery and accessories, weapons and much more! And they also have a bunch of Lucky Boards out, in case you want to check on their quality first. The boots I'm wearing in this post, for example, are one of the Lucky Board prices and greatly textured, plus: easy to resize. A:S:S's latest release, the more-than-awesome Count-corpse paints (you can choose from a variety of 10, or simply grab the fatpack) added the final touch to my outfit.

[vintage vixen]

Vintage Fair is still running until Dec 3rd, and now that the enthusiastic masses have mostly vanished, it's actually possible to move around without crashing or relying on cam-shopping, so take your chance and hop over to admire the various brand's offers and what they consider to be 'vintage'. There is a wide variety of items to be found, from 1920's flapper dresses to 80's sequin chic, full outfits, hair and accessories - everything your fashionista/-o heart needs to be happy!

22769 is having a booth at the fair as well, with both female and male items to pick from. Shown in the picture is the devine, crimson-coloured 'Red Roses Dress' that's adorned with beautifully sculpted flowers along the neckline and down the side. Purrfect 10's Rose Heels are a perfect match in this case! To give the rather classy look a slight twist, Raven's wearing A:S:S DeLuxe's latest release, a fascinator that uses thick bolts to hold it on your head, keeping it screwed to your skull. Made from silver, with accents of pearls and moonstones and albino peacock feathers it makes an unusual and lightly freaky addition to your wardrobe.

[colourful quickie]

Something colourful and squeaky while the sun is hiding most of the time these days! I found this multicoloured hairstyle from *BC322 at the Marketplace, where you can snatch it up for merely 1 L$, and it goes pretty well with the rainbow-shaded braces from ::Squeek!" that you can find at the fabulous 4.44.444 event which runs until Oct, 14th. There is a total of 9 different shades included in the pack and also an additional, subtle smiling-attachment so you can show your shiny new braces off well!

As for the double v-necks, they are A:S:S's contribution to the La Venta Eventa event and will be available in store afterwards. If you don't play Glitch, you might be a bit lost when it comes to the prints, even though I consider them funny even without the background knowledge. There is 8 different prints available each for the gals and boys, so make sure to pick your favourites (and join the game!). I'm off to stroke my sprouts now.

Night hunt

People stayed in their houses in nights like this. Holly was one of the reasons why they did so. At the moment she was busy with stareing at the moon. She wouldn't transform in this night. Which was good. Hunting as fox was nice but sometimes she had chickenfeathers in her mouth when she transformed back. But this night she would be able to concentrate on her prey and not get distracted by all kinds of birds which might cross her path. She curled her red lips to a grin when she remembered the man she had hunted in the night before. He had carried a chicken in a bag which he threw in her direction. The memory of his wide open eyes when recognizing that the chicken did not intrest her at all made her lick over her lips and her heartbeat became faster. This night she would just hunt for fun. Holly hoped that everything would work as she planed it so that she would finally get the bully who always pestered some of the younger pupils in school. She tried to get him for several months now but it seemed like he never left the house in the night. But this night he would. The preparation of this night hadn t be too much fun. Tight tops, short skirts and boots which had so high heels that she needed all her supernatural powers to be able to walk on an elegant way in them. But Sebastian was not able to resist the idea of meeting her in the night. They would have so much fun together.

When it comes to intresting wounds and scars Hysteria is one of my favourite stores. But they also have tattoos. This stomach one says "to be goth is a lifestyle not a trend" which is a great idea as a tattoo is something you normaly have your whole life. The top belongs to the chod collection from Miamai. I love the patterns and the unusual sleeves with the lace. The cut is lightly asymetric.
The hair comes from Wasabi Pills. It is ccs scripted hair. So it contains some fighting animations and works as weapon in any collision based fight system. The scripter told me it works with dcs, ccs, osiris, lcrs, rcs, nh, ura and that there will be soon gorean meter version. It works with the usual /1 draw /1 sheath commands and then like any mêlée weapon. The hair looks like a very long braid and has some loose streaks at the front and the side of the head. Its unisex and looks of course great on both genders. For those who are not into fighting there is also a version available which only contains a resizescript. The weaponversion of course also comes with a resizescript. So that no warrior needs to try to redo his or her hair with bloody hands.
I used some of my favourite trousers from a:s:s to complete the look and boots from death row designs.

[not one of your many boys]

The exhibition I was visiting faded from the spotlight as soon as my eyes came to rest on the slender being that was slouching in such a confident, almost luring fashion on one of the offered seats, illuminated from a soft light from above, like it was a piece of art itself. I found myself stopping in my track, my eyes drawn with wonder and delight to the one that was looking back at me with a nearly mocking gaze from dark-rimmed hues, and the challengingly risen chin made me wonder if my thoughts had been read... yet, I approached, unable not to stare, to not worship this diversity of beauty - male, female? I did not know, but honestly, I couldn't have cared less when I leaned in and felt my tie being grabbed, and a throaty-soft voice uttered into my ear: "You can't have me... I'm not one of your many boys." As I blushed in a deep shade of crimson, caught in the act as I was, I saw a teasing shimmer simmering in those expressive eyes of light and darkness, knowing that our game had just begun - and that it wasn't me making the rules.


By know I've realized that I'm not only having a slight addiction to mesh itself, but specifically when it comes to mesh-made footwear. Not many things have ever bugged me as much as the weird positioning of prims when trying to sit down in overknee-boots, and I'm really glad that the times of my misery are over now - even more when the solution to this problem is as gorgeous as Miamai's recently released Hiatus boots. They come in 14 colours, and each shade is available in 4 different materials: gloss, which I am wearing, leather, laced and matte - that makes it a total of 56 pairs to pick from! Needless to say that I'm in boots heaven, right? The pants and corset I'm wearing are from A:S:S and have been a part of a special edition that isn't available anymore, but you can still find similar corsets in a variety of shades and patterns in store. The lovely blouse with the oversized bow is from *COCO*, where the clearance sale is still running.

Miamai has just recently released their latest Blacklabel-Collection named Chod, and I immediately fell in love with it. Black pearls, embedded in luscious, almost ethereally arranged folds of sheer cloth, fur and delicate lace are the main themes of those carefully crafted items - and a lot of dark glamour. I particularly love the overlong 'goth-sloth' sleeves which also look stunning worn without the rest of the jacket, and the loose-sitting and wide pants are not only comfortable, but also rich in detail and continue the jacket's theme, making them a perfect match.



The Begtse-pants are available in both black and white, whereas the Skanda-jacket comes in black only. However, they are unisex, so all of you fashionable gals don't need to feel left out and can feast your eyes on those beautiful pieces as well. In honour of the new collection you can also grab the matching Warcry necklace as a group-gift in the new Blacklabel building - there is a slightly different female version up for grabs, too, so don't miss out on those!

Black Circus

Nada was training for the big show. She was the only fairy in the black circus. First she had been afraid as she thought the others would have just offered her to join them because they planed to eat her. But they really seemed to like her and she found out that all of them prefered human flesh to fairy blood. So in all villages they went through one or two humans were missing after they left. Nada did not care she wanted to perform and the black circus was the best place to perform she had. She was a dancer and an acrobat. And she loved to show her abilities. After her the werewolves performed. Their show looked like a wolf dressage to the audience but Nada knew that the wolves were the nice guys who sometimes carried her bag when it was very heavy. She saw them argueing who would be one of the wolfs and who would be the animal trainer every evening. Of course the audience had no idea about the true nature of all the artists of the black circus they simply loved their shows. The artists loved their flesh.

Foretelling

Azora sat on the floor stareing through the giant glasses of her visionär. She was the high priest of the order of the knowing phoenix. It was her task to look through the visionär, sooner or later she would become insane because of it. At the moment she was watching an epic battle between bees and ants. With its help she would be able to know the result of a battle which would take part in exactly 301 year 23 days and 8 hours. She somehow was sad that she won't be able to see the real battle but that was a problem all members of her order had. They knew what would happen but they never managed to see the near future.

It forced them to become the best librarians on the whole planet. They had giant hidden libraries of the future. Some of the members of the order had the task to read old prophecies to get an idea what would happen soon. But this was tricky. The ones who made the prophecies had no clue what happened between the time in which they made the prophecy and the time of the prophecy. So it could happen that a descendant of current kings was a chef in the future. Everything was very vague the only thing which was at the end really as they forecasted was the weather. So after a few centuries of killed postmen, marriages between daughters of teachers with sons of clerks and most embarrassing foretelling that a bartender would create a drink called "arithmetic destructor" (he really did but one of his ancestors was a genius so they supposed that he would create a completly new mathematics) they mainly spend their time with forecasting the weather for centuries in the future. They could have stopped but as they did not forecast that they did not really see a reason to do so.

Some outfits are made to be worn without pasties. The black/green gloomy blossom outfit from Brain Circuit Inc. is one of those. It comes on the jacket and trouser layer with modifiable prim parts. The shoes are currently on the midnight mania at Indigo Oddities. They have very pointy heels and fit very well to their name with the frills which remind on a harlequin. The mask was a groupgift at an awesome store with the name Contraption. It isn't available anymore and also will not be sold regularly which is a pity. But this store sells a lot of awesome and unique items like masks, tails and also clothes. They have a section with luckyboards and some cheapies and freebies as well. It is definitly worth to take a look at it as the items are unique and wellmade. And they normaly put out a groupgift for three days when they have a storeupdate.

Black Coats

She was a smoker since her last boyfriend had left her. This was about twelve years ago and sometimes when laying alone in her bed she was wondering how it could have been if they would have stayed together.

In those nights she normaly she had horrible nightmares. But when she woke and smoked the first cigarette she always felt better. Of course she could have stayed with him. He was the most stubborn man she had met in centuries. Maybe this was the reason why she fell for him. Of course his blood was also tasty. But he got so angry when she drank the blood of others. After he had been five years with her she offerd him to make him to one of her kin. But he did not want that. They started to argue everyday. He wanted to adopt children, she did not want to get attached to beings which would be most likely even more tasty than him. She was not glad when seeing him ageing. In her opinion it was just silly of him secretly she supposed that he only did not want to become one of her kin to anger her. But then he left. She never really understood why he did not stay with her. She had been willing to stay with him until he would die but he did not want her to do so. Sometimes she supposed that he left because of his job. She never understood why a priest had spend so much time with her.

When seeing the Radu Coats from A:S:S the first time I fell immediately for them. But as they were created for men I was insecure how they would look at my avatar. At the end I was not able to resist and bought the onyx version of the coat. And it fits. Of course it was needed to rotate some of the primparts a bit and to resize them. But this took maybe around 10 minutes. I love the shading of the coat and the patterns on the primpart are very beautiful. The systemparts come on all layers so its possible to wear clothes under the coat. I decided to combine it with the ducttapes from League. The cigarette holder belongs to a set from Icing.

Coat: A:S:S - Radu coat - Onyx (95 L$)

Cathrina the unicorn

Sometimes Cathrina hated being the only unicorn in the administration. Being the leading expert in moonlight law her work was essential and she loved it. But working with other beings was really tricky for her.

Although she had gotten the normal nonvirgin-desensitising treatment, as all unicorns who wanted to work with other beings, being surrounded by beings who lost their virginity allready sometimes made her scream. Once she had to work with a faun who was horribly naughty. It ended with Catharina ramming her horn into some phonebooks. This made her panic even more so that she started to run screaming through the whole building. At the end the eight year old daughter of her boss managed to tame her again but Cathrina felt deeply embarrassed. All told her that they could understand her but she knew that they did not. Searching for a solution she started to work in the night. Only the ghouls were working in the night and those were all virgins. They got along very well with the unicorn.

I love fantasy avatars so when a friend showed me the unicorn avatar he found in the "a midsummer nights dream hunt II" I needed to have it too. The avatar comes with hooves (with and without horseshoes), legs, a tail, huddriven ears, a mane, the skin and of course the horn. All the parts but the skin are tintable so you could choose what colour they should have. The ears are menudriven so it is possible to choose in which position they should be to express how you feel at the moment.
The pink hair is the gift from bc322 at the hair faire. It comes with a resizescript and is very cute. The cute dress is one of the gifts at the blue blood lucky boards. The skirt is mod so it is possible to make it a bit smaller.
A:S:S released glitter makeup lately. This goes very well with the complete pinkish outfit.

Silver eyes

The Kajummer School of fine arts was the best school for artists in the whole country. The best painters went there to learn to draw realistic paintings and carvers made amazing sculptures out of trees which were older than their grandparents. And there were the courses for smiths. Those courses had made the Kajummer School famous. The first royal goldsmith had been the founder of the school and all royal goldsmiths after him had attended the school. Many of them failed.

Luna had been one of those. Her father had been the royal goldsmith and she had the best chances to become the royal silversmith. Her ideas were outstanding and her talent made her teachers speechless. But she wanted to become better and better and stopped to believe into her own skills. Hoping to make one of her teachers help her learn the hidden techniques of metalparley, she began an affair with one. He should have known that Luna had extremly strong relations with metals than that she would have been able to keep her mind closed from the materials. She had supposed that she would be able to form gold and silver much easier when being able to communicate with it. Instead of that, the metal started to form her mind. She was constantly under its influence. Even while she slept the metal in her bed whispered thoughts into her mind. If her other teachers had known what was going on they would have put her into one of the special treehouses which had been built for the pupils who got too massively under the influence of the metals. Luna supposed that she would be able to handle the problems herself, and she was wrong.

Her works became stranger and somehow she started to hurt herself. She crossed the line. Even taking her away from metal would not have helped against her madness. Now even the iron in her blood was whispering to her. Luna started to create her works in the cellar of the school. She stopped to eat and her skin became lighter. The other pupils started to avoid the cellars as she used to walk around there night and day. At the day, which should have been the last day of her time in school she returned for an hour into the room of her class. She used the time to create something which looked like earrings. Little pearls added to each other with thin pieces of silver. Luna was faster than any other silversmith. Her teachers hoped that she had managed to deal with the voices in her head, but then she put the earrings in her eyes instead of her ears. Walking like she would be able to see, she went back to the cellar, where she stayed. With time, people saw her less often and after some years, they supposed that she had died. Now and then somebody heard the sounds of small pearls and silver.

The Artificial tears are the latest A:S:S deLuxe release. They are a small chain of pearls which is attached at the eye with a small silvery plate. Beside the eyepiercing there are artificial eyebrows made of gems included in the set. They are available in a version for females and one for males. It is very comfy that the items have a resizescript. This makes it very comfy to adjust them. The white kimono comes from Bubblez Design. The sleeves are sheer and the skirt seems to glow lightly which gives the outfit an a bit ghost like look. The obi is closed with red bands. All primparts come with resizescripts.

Eyes: A:S:S deLuxe - Artificial tears (169 L$)
Kimono: BB - Shizuka Kimono (275 L$)

The pictures have been taken in Rampart . The college there has a ghost problem.

[lotn: torn]

You tore me apart
the light
and the dark side
of me
leaving a void
people don't want to see.
