Thor

Luckily it was winter. Else the scream of anger which was running through the mountains would have woken more than some birds. Luckily the bear in a nearby cave had problems with its ears else it would have been massivly disturbed in its hibernation. Thor was really angry. So he was on his way home. Frozen waterfalls started to move under his feet. Ice floating like cold lava. He was tempted to smash his hammer into the liquid but on the other hand he knew that he could split a mountain and he was still controlling him enough to keep himself from doing so.

With an other jump he made his way down. This was the fifth mountain he crossed. And there were some more to come. With every step he became faster and the hammer in his hands felt lighter. He was on the way to fight a giant. The huge one had dared to insult the one the god loved. Now he would have to fight. Maybe that had been the reason for his missbehaviour. Many had tried to gain the god's hammer. But none of them ever had been successful. It would not be different this time. Thor knew this. The giant learned it on the hard way.

Steam the hunt is running for the sixth time now. 22769 takes part in the hunt and they created a great thor steampunk outfit. It comes even with a hammer. The other parts of it are a vest, fitting trousers a belt and a chestpart. All of those in typical steampunk colours. The chestpart contains some glowing lights and of course gears. The skin used comes from Fallen Gods Inc.. Its the angelus skin which is great for heros. Wasabi Pills made the hair. This is the male version of the dragon hair.

Earth Rise

The smell of the smoke floated through the air as everyday and earthrise. Kathrin was alone on the plattform as normaly at this time. And she smoked. Sometimes people were annoyed by her behaviour. The atmosphere on the moon had only reached a state which allowed humans to walk around without using a respirator.

But she had been born on the moon as first. It hadn't been planed of course. Not by the governments at least. Her parents had been among the astronauts who were choosen to start setting up everything on the moon to allow settlers to move there when the atmosphere would be thick enough for humans. Their colleagues never understood how Kathrin's parents had managed to go through the psychological tests. Of course the mooncolony was a try to gain peace between the two big state unions. Kathrine's father belonged to the European-American Confederation while her mother was an astronaut of the Sima Yan. The Sima Yan was the union of the african states and China. After the People's Republic of China had increased their influence on the african continent the states there started to orientate themself at chinese culture and finally they formed an union with China which was called after the famous Emperor of Wu. The conflicts between both alliances were massive. Luckily the elites of the European-American Confederation as well as the leaders of the Sima Yan sent their children to the same schools in switzerland, the only neutral country. So Kathrine's parents met first in a boarding school in the alps.

The parents of Katherine's father both worked in most secret scientific research projects. So Katherine's father knew while he was still in school that there would be a project to turn the moon into an area where people would be able to live. From his parents he knew as well that the project would be too expensive so that the alliances would work together. The leaders of both were afraid of riots which would most likely arrise because of the depleted soils. Hunger always seemed to lead to riots. So they hoped that they would manage to gain minerals from the moon to feed the billions of hungry humans. Knowing for years about the upcomming mission Katherine's parents managed to be prepared perfectly. Of course their families were surprised that they wanted to work with their hands instead of becomming diplomats, which would have been the normal career for them. But on the other hand they would be useful for their families to gain more influence. At least their families thought so. Katherine's parents had other plans - they wanted to see each other again. And they wanted to find a way to avoid being seperated again as it happened to them after they finished school. Katherine was their solution. Because of her they were not able to return to earth. Being born on the moon her bones were to weak to deal with the higher gravitation of the motherplanet of her parents. She was the first born moonie but at the same time the only prisoner in a giant cell. Nobody really knew what to do with her. Her parents only needed each other. Of course they loved her but their love for each other was so big that there was not really enough space for a child inbetween. So Katharina spend her time with watching films or wandering around. She had supposed that her parents would leave the moon when she would be older but not wanting to meet their families again - which were absolutly not happy about Katharina's existence - they stayed. One of the scientists who worked on the moon was sorry for the bored and lonely girl. So he started to teach her how to cultivate plants. It turned out that she was really talented. She managed to find good spots for plants and she was brilliant in mixing the gens of plants in a way which allowed them to grow in the sandy soil of the moon. It only made her a bit arrogant. So if somebody asked her why she was smoking she always told the people that she was only burning oxygen which wouldn't exist without her.

I always adored the engineer boots from Coco on men. When going to have a look at their sale, which is currently going on, I recognized that they were also available for women. Of course I needed to have them. They are great. The bootleg is wide so that the shoe might make cool sounds while walking - which are not inbuild as far as I saw which is awesome - and is pretty comfy. The leathertextures are stunning. The boots come with a resize hud so that both have always the same size when resizing them while wearing both boots. If your avatar has two feet with different sizes you have to take off one boot while resizing the other. There are many great items available at Coco so its worth to visit that sale for more than boots. The uniform comes from C'est la vie. It is made to fit women as well as slender men. I guess the ones who wear that uniform should look a bit androgyn. But I might be wrong about that. All I can say about it is I love the design and it was easy to make it fit. Even the hat is mod and it is possible to make it smaller. The set comes with two kinds of pants one for guys and one for girls and I love the pointy shoulders. The black nails come of course from Virtual/Insanity. They have the possibility to show swearwords on top of them. When visiting the grandparents its possible to turn the texture into plainblack instead of having things like "fuck" written on top of them. The nails come in three different sizes. The hair on the upper pictures is new and from Wasabi Pills. It has a short cut at the front while the long hair of the rest is wrapped together. It could be worn either with or without pearls. When worn with pearls the hair includes a lot of tinting possiblities for those. The cigarette holder comes from nikotin. It includes a hud which allows to smoke on many ways. The cigarettes, cigars and pipes from that store are all very well made. And allow to blow smoke even out of the ears.

NX-74/7PQ

NX-74/7PQ was in love. It was the only logical conclusion she managed to find. She was not sure if she should be happy or confused so the cyborg decided to have both emotions. NX-74/7PQ had not supposed to feel those feelings anymore. She had been a victim of the 3rd imperial war. When being asked if she would be willing to be transformed into a cyborg she had been more than willing and there hadn't been much left of her human body anyways. The scientists were always surprised how well she was able to deal with her cybernetic parts and even more about how well she dealt with the pain. Of course none of them ever talked so much with her to find out that she had given birth to three children. And the pain she had gone through at every birth had been way more intense than having to deal with new limbs.

But now she was in love and did not know what to do. On the one hand it was painful but on the other hand it was a great feeling. Should she tell him about her feelings or not? She prefered to keep her emotions for herself. On the other hand he was a cyborg like her. NX-74/7PQ found herself giggling like a 14 year old girl. She had given up most of her human body but did that mean that she also had to give up her human emotions? She hardly remembered her old name she had given it up as well as the nightmares of her children. Although most of her body was cybernetic she still ate normal food and to her big surprise the other cyborg seemed to search for her company. She found out that his name was MR-X47/11Q. Some time later as they were on a mission together to save some alien artefacts he told her that his name was Peter. Hers was Anne.

The creativity people share in second life is amazing. Sometimes there are items which are simply surprising in the quality of the textures. The items from ND/MD definitly belong into this category. The store sells all kinds of skins, shapes and more. The suit, the facemask, the shape and the boots come from their Scifi line. As written before the quality of the textures is stunning. The suit has many details and the metal looks like polished metal should look. The suit comes on the undies, socks, undershirt and gloves layer. So its possible to wear other layers over it for example a jacket to take care that all cybernetic parts are kept warm. The boots come with two kinds of bootlegs a bigger and a smaller one. They go of course perfectly with the suit and although they have high heels they are stable enough for any adventure in outerspace. The mask connects perfectly with the suit. And also the connection lines of the parts of the suit are nearly not visible which shows very well how impressive the quality of the designs from ND/MD is. The suit is sold in many versions. The store also sells cyborg skins and the items are not only available for women. There are versions for men as well - and of course the boots for them aren't high heels. The hair is the Vicky Hair from Wasabi Pills. To let it look a bit more cyborgish I put the glow on 0.2 and the shinyness on low. I would never have had such an idea myself but the creator of the suit told me that it would look great, so I tested it and had to agree. As skin I used Posy Pale Kitty from Adam n Eve.

The poses come from Niqotine Poses, this store was one of the most amazing posestores ever. I use their poses quite often but do not mention that they come from that store as the store is closed.They sold great fighting poses, wonderfully naughty couple poses, girlish girly poses and more. The pictures have been taken at Tochigi Japan Cybercity a great sim Sian recommented to me.
