Words of Light

A distant observer would have had the impression that there might be a swarm of fireflies on the ruins of the temple. Normaly people stayed anyways away from this area of the forest. It was known for an area full of ghosts and others spirits. As always the truth was different. Non human beings lived in the temple. Not hidden but also not belonging to the human realms. They called themself Sinorei not that this was important as they seldom communicated with beings which did not belong to their kin. Sometimes they saw birds, animals and humans them but for them those were not real. Sounds were normaly ignored by them. They of course heard them but sounds were not interesting for the Sinorei. There was no music in their world but light and feelings. They walked past humans, wore even sometimes clothes they found left by them but never tried to communicate with them. Maybe they would have reacted on a torchlight but their language was more subtile. Waves of lights running over their skin. Glowing sparkles which escaped their fingertips. And soft touches during with the light of one floated onto the skin of the other. They did not even think that there could be other ways of communication.  How could words ever be so accurate like a slight shimmer of blue combined with a white sparkle? Trap always has been a store I love. So I was really happy when seeing that they are taking part in the Fantasy Faire. They relased new skins and tattoo to this event. The skins are available in male and female versions while the tattoos are unisex. The range of colours for the skins ranges through all shades of the rainbow to black and white while the tattoos are sold in glowing colours. A rainbow version of the tattoo is one of the relay for life donation items of Trap at the fantasy faire. The hair is a faire release from wasabi pills. Combined with the hairlayertattoo it comes with it looks like one side of the scull has been shaved while the other side is long. It is a great hair for roleplay but also goes well with a goth look. The horns and eyes on him come both from De La Soul also one of the stores which takes part at the Fantasy Faire. While all the clothes are all available at Miamai.
The couple pose on the first picture is a Posefaire Release from Captivity. Its a very sweet pose and of course its possible to edit it so that the avatars are placed together in a way which fits to their size. The other two poses come from oOo Studio.

The glowing ones

The rumors about the forest were all very scary and made people who heard them feel uncomfortable. So hardly anybody dared to go into the forests. Some did of course and were surprised by the beauty and the calmness. And when they finally found the pathes which lead through the forest they were not able to resist the urge to follow them.
The glowing people always enjoyed those visitors. It was entertaining to play with them. Once the glowing ones had been like normal humans but then their shamans started to grow strange mushrooms they had found in the ruins of a temple in the deepth of the forest.

Just touching the mushrooms made them feel amazing. And so they had to test how the plants would taste. It was like a mix of strawberries and pineapples a taste they had never savoured before. Of course they wanted more of it and also shared the mushrooms with their families and friends. So at the end all of them were addicted to the strange mushrooms and the more they ate of them the more they changed. Their skins became colourful and some spots of them started to glow. And not only their appearance was not very human anymore. Somehow they started to become connected. The humans who got in contact with them saw thin fibres between them but normaly they thought it would be an illusion. All of them learned that it was smarter not to trust their idea of reality but their senses.

Of all events in second life the Fantasy Faire, which will start at Saturday, is the one with the most creative Vendors. And so its not surprising how surprising the skins and tattoos from Gauze are they for this wonderful event. They remind me on my idea of the mushroom people in City of Saints and Madmen by Jeff VanderMer. The skins are being sold for both genders. They are available in four colours: Lightning, Infared, Ultraviolet and Uranium. The one on the upper picture is the Infrared one in combination with the tattoo in Gaia and the on the second the Lightning one with the tattoo in Titan. Both skins are donation items. That means that if somebody buys them the money will go to Relay for Life.
The poses used for the pictures come from an other event. The posefair which takes place on two sims this year. For the first picture a pose from oOo has been used and on the second a pose from Miamai.

Go With The Flow... Flower With The Drow!

Irrolin eyl’Zebeyriina was a powerful Drow magician and a priestess, the pride of her mother and her entire family. She was tall and slender, she moved with fluid grace, she was perfectly trained in the art of warfare… but her most dangerous weapons were her bright intelligence and her ability to cast arcane spells and curses with the lethal, smooth swiftness of an arrow shot from the crossbow of a seasoned warrior.

Yet, it is written that even the best may be bested. One day Irrolin engaged in a magical duel with an unknown Drow and, despite the legendary ability of her race to resist hexes and jinxes, she felt rather weird after the duel was concluded. She annihilated her enemy... but why was he smiling so oddly while he was slowly turning into grey dust and black pebbles? Irrolin got her answer the following morning, when her mother started shrieking after the first glance cast upon her daughter, and her family promptly banished her from their splendid residence in the Underworld.

She was covered in flowers... terrible, disgusting, colourful, smelly, sticky, living things from the Upperworld! So Irrolin spent the rest of her long, long life in an Upperworld forest, she bred big, poisonous spiders for a living, and everybody who just hinted at her being a “flowery Drow” found themselves turned into a toad or – when Irrolin was in a particularly foul mood - something definitely worse... like a potted geranium.

While many SL residents already prepare for the forthcoming Fantasy Faire and there are so many other shopping events still running, please find some time to hop over to the Wear Gray sim and leave a few Lindens in order to assist research into brain tumour diagnosis, treatment and care.
