Fighting, tea and innocence

The attacks were so regularly lately. Maybe the idea to attack the castle of the Hiro-Mi-Tego Family had not been the idea but it had been successful and success was what counted. Besides decent behaviour, sharp swords and perfect tea of course. Tamini once hat a choice this time was over. She would spend her whole life with fighting, gambling and seducing innocent men. At the moment her days were mainly filled with fighting, which was not bad as she had lost a lot of money during fighting and there were also no innocent men left anymore. At least there was the comfort of knowing that she was good in what she did and it was her choice. Born in a rich family she would not have needed to become a fighter at all. She also could have choosen to learn to play an instrument and when being in the right age-  if not being killed or kidnapped before - how to marry the right person. This was her parents dreamed of. Her brothers did not like the idea of loosing parts of their legacy as their sisters' dower so they started to talk a lot about swords and fighting in front of her.  Tamini was first a bit confused about all the talk. But soon she realized that why they were trying to get her into fighting. The satisfied grin in their faces when she asked them to show her how to use a Katana - oh it was annoying for her to see - but she pretended to be dumb and just so currious about fighting. Her brothers were surprised how good she was as pupil. But then there was this accident in which she somehow thought she would be using a training katana while she was definitly not. The face of her brother was not full of surprise more shocked in this moment. It was anyways the last time she saw him. Her other brothers all died in other accidents but she never was close when they happened. Or more nobody managed to see her. If they didn't want to share with her she also didn't want to share with them. Of course she didn't plan to marry it was way more fun to be unbound. Messer Company's latest release is the K98 Katana. It is made of mesh and offers a bunch of adjustment possiblities. First of all it can run with linden damage or ccs damage. Besides of this there are two sets of animations included for standing, running and walking. As other Messer weapsons there are several colour and texture options included. And there is even the choice to choose between a straight and a curved blade. The look is modern while the asian feeling is still kept. For ccs players it might be interesting to know that the katana includes four enhancements which rage from stamina stealing to racial theft. For those who like fighting in SL it is a great weapon others might enjoy it for its look.
The white makeups from PMD which are currently sold at the Zombie Popcorn Brand event are great for those who like making bright avatars. The set includes 8 of them.
MiuMin takes of course part in the current round of the Gallery Giftshop. Their item is a white kimono with angel wings. It floats nicely and lets the legs partly uncovered. It is a great outfit for roleplay. The set also includes shoes and is available in a non copy and a none trans version. The legwarmers are a favourite from Epic and the ears  from europa. Unfortunatly the posestore which made the poses does not exist anymore.

Floating over flowers

There it was happening finally. Cita smirked lightly. The dress had the effect she had hoped it would have. A lot of efford had been needed to create it. Her dream was to make a dress which would allow her to float over flowers like pollen. Of course Cita wouldn't have worn just pollen. She had the magical abilities to make it behave like it normaly did even when it was glued on something else. But just using her skin would have been boring and also could have caused confusion if anybody would have seen her flying naked over meadows. She wanted to be impressive so she spend ages on collecting so much pollen that it would be enough to carry her and then she started to wove it into a gown. And it worked. Not that it was important for Cita now that she had reached her goal.

The gallery gift shop has as beautiful items as always and this Kimono from MiuMin is one of them. It can be worn in three versions, as normal kimono, in a mermaid version with a wider skirtlike bottom and in the gown version like on the picture. All of them look great and beside the gown the set contains also accessories like a bag and flowers for the hair. The primparts all look very light and move with every move of the avatar. The getas which come also with the set are hidden in the mermaid and gown version but visible in the normal kimono version. Of course the set contains also tabi socks. As many items at the gallery gift shop the Kimono can be bought in a copy or in a transfer version.
The short hair is the latest release from Wasabi Pills. It is made of mesh but different than most mesh hair its unrigged. As it is short hair it is also not really needed to rig it. So it can be handled as normal sculpted hair. And if you have bought hair from Wasabi Pills before and still know how much you needed to resize your sculpted hair from that store, those numbers are exaclty the same at this hair - as its non rigged it comes with a resizer and can be moved.
The flowers on the picture come from The Looking Glass. This store sells awesome plants which look like they would come from an other planet. As those on the picture change their colour and glow they are actually really not very earthy. They are sold no copy but transfer in a set which contains several versions of them.
The background is a skybox from Spessart, it has a footprint of 26 x 26 and is made of 12 prims. The pose comes from purple poses.

Ghosthunter

The ectoplasm was so thick that it dripped in a continious flow from the ceiling and collected in puddles on the floor. The walls were like shadows for Reina. More like the idea of a house on which she could walk than a house itself. Born without eyes she was only able to see the spiritual world. Of course buildings left their traces in that world as they were created by humans. An architect had an idea and workers created the house and all of those people shared the idea of the house which finally made its way into the spiritual world. The older a building was and the more people used it the better Reina was able to see it. This buildings as average it had been a factory for some years but was lost now since an evil spirit found its home there. Of course nobody believed in evil spirits but as there were more and more accidents the workers started to talk and when the son of the owner disappeared the factory was closed. Of course other children had disappeared as well but their families were not wealthy so nobody cared. Now a group of investors had bought the land with the factory to put a shopping mall onto it. As a mall in which children disappeared would cause bad publicity and as bad publicity would mean less profit they called Reina to chase the evil spirit away. She did not earn bad with her job. Of course her advertisement was very discret and she took care that nobody knew at which places she worked, her customers were a bit sensitive when it came to the truth that they actually believed into the existance of ghosts. Reina was different in this. She wasn't a believer she knew. So she was walking through the building following the traces until she found the spirit. He had become mighty through the years and was throning on a pile of ancient telephonebooks in the highest floor of the building. The floor was covered with ectoplasm but Reina did not care. In a polite voice she asked him to go. She was not sure why she kept that habbit but her parents had tried to bring her up to be a kind person so she always asked the spirits first to leave. None of them ever had done so but luckily spirits were quite easy to manipulate. No matter what kind of spirit they were, they all - or at least most of them- feared elephants, this is also the reason why there are never any ghosts in zoos, as they thought the elephants would be able to suck them in with their trunk. Reina started to talk about the big elephant which was waiting in front of the building to move into it and offered the ghost her help to flee. Some time later she walked back down, her lips curled to a light grin. The ectoplasm was allready disappearing.

The current round of the gallery giftshop is still going on. And as always the items are really beautiful and unique. The skin with the closed eyes comes from lucky seven. Its a very pale skin with red lips. The skin comes with eyes which are completly white so it always seems like the avatar would have closed eyes. To make this look more beautiful it is possible to buy fitting lashes from the same store. The skin and the lashes come with in a transfer and a copy version in one set. So that you can keep one and give the transfer one to a friend. The kimono in the earthtones can be worn in a long version which covers the feet or in a normal version so that the getas which are included in the set are visible. Beside the getas the set contains also a headdress and a handbag. It was easy to adjust the kimono. There are two versions sold of the kimono one is a transfer one and the other one is copy. The blue puddles come from down down down. They are a nice decoration and as they are unrigged mesh its possible to stretch them. They are sold in a transferable version at the gallery gift shop. The pose comes from the CheerNo Motion Ladies Set 1.
