Jack and Jill part 2

The motel had seen better days, better months, better years. Decades had passed since any new coat of paint had licked across the frontage, aside of course, from the nightly daubings of local gang tags claiming  territory. The Orachtes Hotel had over time, with the smashing of each neon letter, become the Rat Hoel. All the facilities remained, only a little different from the original brochure, still tacked up on the reception wall as testament to the hotel's long history. Room security was guaranteed no longer by the friendly night watchman, but by thick iron bars across each window. You could still sleep sound, so long as whoever had a copy of the skeleton key had missed any dull glow from the rooms single lamp. Amazingly, the diving board remained. Burned in places, and splintered, yet it loomed as large as it ever had, over a pool with more life in it now, though smaller and slimier, than the laughing splashing bodies it had once contained. Perhaps, come this summer, the place would be cleaned, tidied up, made welcoming once more to road trippers. The new owners were, after all, a little unconventional.

Remember what I said about temptations?

Such advice was fine for the little wooden boy who came to life. For others of more importance to the cosmos, those deities at the edges of life and thought, something with more depth was needed, and found. Each to their own, Zathor chose to listen to both sides of each argument.

In one hand could always be found Desdemona... she saw things from a dark perspective. All actions and motives from the softest smile to the harshest blow she viewed with eyes open wide, seeing the currents running underneath like smoke.

She knew every level of the world, saw deep into the hearts of its people, the flames of their desires and hatred kept her warm. Yearnings cried out to her, and she could interpret truth from lie. She spoke these dark truths and no others, letting Zathor see the darkness burning within each person.

Anabel, the eternal balance to Desdemona was always to be found at Zathor's other hand. She saw everything her opposite did, but from the perspective of light. Eyes open just as wide missed nothing, streams of consciousness, motives drawing across the faces below like strands of silk.

Her gaze sought out each level of life, each strata, every interaction. The goodness and fairness which shone from the hearts of the living kept her serene, brought light to her existence. She spoke the truth of justice and good, letting Zathor see the best in people and their works.

Awake

The way the ground felt under her paws was still new for her and  the fact that she didn't hear her own movements also was. But it was what Elonie had wanted. Sometimes the scars still bleeded so she had wrapped cloth around her legs. The Pain she didn't mind at all. It kept her awake. The scars on her arms had the same function. When she was on watcher duty it was what gave her the right amount of adrenalin so that she was ready to fight. 
But this night seemed to be calm. Her urpy would warn her anyways if something would happen near her but this wasn't a reason for her to lack of caution, Elonie loved the little pet but she didn't want to depend on it.

Wasabi Pills takes part in the current round of fameshed. Their item is a cute haircut with a ponytail. The hair is very versatile and goes with modern outfits as well as with classic ones. The Cover My Furry Butt Hunt will end in two days. Enough time to get the wonderful Urpy for the neck from Booshies. It is a very cute pet and will most likely be very helpful in winter.
Pesca has meshtops with a floral pattern in the current round of the Zombie Popcorn brand. They are available in 4 colours and of course the pack contains them in the standard sizes.
It is rare to find very short cute skirts. This one from evolve is one of those. It is available in many colours. It is great for a punkish or cute look or for both.
Hysteria is a great store when it comes to unique and normal scars. Their current groupgift is called Suffer well and looks like leather bands being pulled through the skin on the upper arms. But they also got normal scars and bruises like the ones on the legs and the marks in the face are one of my favourite items from them.
Mirror's Enigma moved and they also released a new skin named Ira. It is available in three skintones and all of them with different makeups. The one on the picture is the version in Light and neutral. The very cute shape is made especially for this skin.
The weapons created by Messser & Co. are not only great when it comes to fighting they also look good. Like the throwing knives on the picture. They can be used in areas with CCS or Lindendamage.
The legwarmers from epic are also available in a version without paws and great for any urban being with digilegs.
Virtual/Insanity has so many cute accessories that it is hard to choose what to wear from them. One of their latest releases are the naboo claws. Those very long fingernails come also with a ring. They are great for roleplay characters and should fit to any gothic style.
The poses used for the pictures belong to the "the time is now" set from Miamai poses.

be U-Neek at the Fantasy Faire

Thora relaxed, shifting her weight onto one hip as she soaked up the last rays of the desert sunset. She had worked long and hard, and deserved this little break. Her work was a thankless task, thankless depending on how you looked at it. From the perspective of most of the big people, her work was unnecessary, dangerous even. To most of the insects and small creatures, she was a villain, someone out to make their frantic lives harder. To the plants, she was a saviour, and she did her work well.

Thora's job you see, was to place the thorns on the stems of plants, the spines on pads of cacti. She did this all day, and worked long into the night, protecting the new shoots and leaves that worked their way up through the dry dusty earth of the deserts. Running her hands over form, her palms would prickle with new shards, little daggers she would press into the green limbs of the plants, providing them with their armour. Longer, twisting hair she plucked from her head, weaving it into some cacti to give the fluffy looking, yet dangerously tipped coating. The big people, the 'Walkers' would curse her, their skin snagged and bleeding from her work, the creatures would do likewise, as she made it more difficult for them to reach their goals. But all day, and all night, the plants would sing her praises, blooming into flower with more safety, the wafts of their scent hailing Thora, the keeper of desert roses.

It's the last day of the Fantasy Faire, and I'm late with this post -I blame work - but the items are well worth seeking out in the hours you have left!

+ eX + e z u r a X u e at the Fantasy Faire

"Ahhh..." sighed Caliope with an air of satisfaction as she stepped out onto the rotting log, dank moss springing her step. Turning her face to the sky, eyes smudged with soot and ashes from the fires of divination she had tended throughout the day, she gazed at the heavens. "Stars be bright tonight.." she mused to no one in particular. "That's good..." Her soft drawl turned the heads of the toads sitting on the swamps ragged lily pads. Ripples spread across the dark water as the eyes and snouts of alligators rose up, moving languidly toward her. Everything in the swamp was as anyone would expect, covered in lichen and dirt, all natural, all living and dying in turn so other things could live. Everything was coated in slime, cobwebs or dirt, all except the chest in her den, the chest where she kept her few lasting treasures, including the silks she wore tonight.

These garments were special, as natural as the rest of her world, woven intricately with both the silk of swamp spiders, and golden thread she had made from small discs of the eternally shiny metal she had found in the deepest pools in the midst of the mangroves. She wore these on the nights of the ritual. Her footsteps along the crumbling bough over the water were sure, even though her gaze never wavered from the sky, her eyes seeking out the moon. Clouds scudded across its face, the longer she looked, the clearer it became, gilding the swamp and all of its creatures with moonlight. The pulse of the fireflies intensified, snakes writhed over the muddy ground as the miasma swirled around her feet and legs, dampening the silk, giving it weight and presence as a soft dew formed over the gold, making the runes shimmer and seem to move. Murmuring the incantation they depicted, she began to fade from view, becoming part of everything. Sinking into the mists she would be everywhere, able to see all, and feel all, protecting this sanctuary for another season. 

 

This is the Arcane Mage outfit, one of the Relay for Life donation items at + eX + e z u r a X u e. It helpfully comes with a guide to resizing the prims - which is very good for anyone who hasn't done a lot of modifying. The collar and skirt prims sit very nicely. The runes throughout the outfit tie all the pieces together, and this would really work for any mage or soothsayer RP, as an outfit for rituals - or just because you like it!

Frozen Socks

The air was hot and warm. It was an other day at which the air conditioner did not work. Sandra did not care. She stayed in bed, playing with her hair and reading. There was nothing else to do for her. It was summer and way too hot to move. Strangely enough Sarah was wearing socks. They were pink and comfy. And she had put them into the fridge for some hours. Now they were cooling her feet.

After the last page she slipped out of the bed. The story had been good. It had been about demons and how they influenced people. After starting to read she had not been able to stop. The maincharacter was trying to found a school in the middle of a dschungle. He was the son of unbelieveable rich parents and wanted to do something good with all the money he owned. But there were always obsctacles. Sometimes a wall wasn't stable or the roof had a leak. Instead of giving up the man tried harder and harder and finally started to listen to the shaman of one of the tribes whose children were supposed to become pupils in the school. The shaman made him take part in their rites and ceremonies. First everything seemed to be just fine but the rites became darker and darker but as the construction of the school seemed to proceed the young heir kept taking part in them. At the end it turned out that the whole tribe prayed to old gods with unspeakable names. The heir tried to flee but the shaman bound one of his gods to him so that he became possessed. Sarah was still pondering about the end of the story. It seemed like the young man became normal again. But then there was a description of his shadow behaving in an odd way. Anyways it was time to get a new pair of iced socks.

The current round of the Zombiepopcorn brand event will end soon. So its time to hurry to get the items. Quarantine made mesh socks. Those are rigged to the feet. They look pretty comfy and might be a great item for a pj party. The makeup comes from pin me down and is sold in th same event. There are several versions of it in the pack. Koketka made the dress with the dots. The sculpted skirt is mod. The mesh hair comes from Wasabi Pills. Its called dragon and available for males and females. The sloth room is a fesival of sin item from Vaughan's house of curiosities. It has 44 prims and is mod. There are more fitting items to it available. Its a great prop for picturs and all parts are very well made. The bed comes from mudhoney. Its scripted and available in an adult and a pg version.

Ballet and smoking

It was always cold in the ballet studio. Sarah normaly used this as excuse to smoke before, during and after the training. She was a good dancer and made so much sport that she still had a great stamina now matter if she smoked or not. But her plan wasn't to be once a dancer on an important balletstage.

She wanted to dance in musicals. But this would mean that she would have to sing which made her quite nervous. Luckily the smoking also helped with this. Sarah was of course smart enough to stop it as soon as her voice had exactly the tone she wanted to have.

As always there are some cute items in the gallery gift shop. This bodysuit from Penned is one of them. It can be worn with or without a skirt. The bodysuit comes on all layers in a sheer and a nonsheer version. The hair comes from Wasabi Pills and is made of mesh. As that store makes hair in so many great colours it was no problem to find one which goes great with the lilac argyle socks from 22769. Those are currently sold at the black market. The skin and the cigarettes come both from the ZombiePopcorn brand event. The skin is available in four tones. The cigarettes could be worn in a full or in a smoked version. The pose on the first picture comes from Purple Poses while the second one comes from ANA_Mations but is not sold anymore.

Mechanic

The yard looked like it had been left alone for years. But Isobel did not care at all. This was the space where she wanted to make her dream come true. An own car repair shop. Of course the area was a bit wild but she knew that she was able to defend herself and of course she was aware of the fact that men mainly came to her because of her look. But she knew what she did. For sometime she had been working for other car repair shops. It had always been tricky to make her co-workers trust in her abilities. She hoped that it would be better when she had her own shop. Her old boss was quite annoyed when he recognized how many customers he lost after she opened her store.

The zombie popcorn brand is in a new round and as always there are some nice items sold there. The skin from Skintimate is one of those. It has some makeup around the eyes which give it a serious expression. The pack contains the skin in three skintones. In combination with the mesh hair from Alice Project it creates a look which reminds me on italian girls. But that might just be me. The hair comes not only with a meshpart there is also a flexi part included which could be worn with the hair to make it look even more realistic. The top and the wristlets come both from Culto. The top consists only of prims and was surprisingly easy to fit. The necklace comes from Virtual/Insanity. Its a very sweet item and can be tinted in several patterns and colours with the help of a menu. The trousers are available at Acid and Mala. And the pose comes from CheerNo motion.

Christmas Elf set free

The snow melted when landing on Sara's skin. Her pointy ears were hidden under plushy earmuffs. Sara's real name was Twinklie Pinky and she never had seen real snow although she had been a christmas elf for the most time of her life. It had been boring and she never understood why christmas elves never got at least one of the gifts they created. Being a christmas elf meant to be a in a sweatshop for a lifetime. Not only the work was hard. The elves had to listen to christmas songs all the time and all they saw were the big halls where they created the gifts. Sometimes they saw Santa play with the reindeers in the outside or take a ride to some scientists at the northpole where he exchanged some of the gifts for alcohol. It was surprising that there had not been a revolution allready. At least for Sara it was so she started one. And got kicked out, as some other elves too. So finally she had the chance to see real snow and to see a bit more than just gifts.

There is a advent calendar at 22769 which has a lot of cute gifts in it. The red woolen trousers are the gift which is today in it. They come with two kinds of cuffs (for females and males) and are very comfy and cute. The long shirt or short dress comes from Aoharu. It comes with three kinds of skirt. It is possible to wear just the dress or to combine it with trousers or tights. The hair is the latest relase from Wasabi Pills. It is possible to change the colour of the hairband and of course there is a resizescript included. It is always good to have some short hair as it is very good for pictures. The Earmuffs are one of the new releases from Virtual/Insanity. It is also possible to change their colours with an inbuilt script and they could also be resized with that. They are a great accessory to let a winterish outfit look even more winterish.

Snow

The snow was perfect on the first day of december. So the iceprincess had at least a comfy landing when she fell on the ground. She kept her eyes closed as tired and exhausted as she was. Now the snow was so young and fresh, it calmed her down. She ran her fingers through it and let the crystals fall back down then. But the gravity was too much for her. She needed to lay a bit to adjust herself to it. The hail which formed her wristlets shimmered in the light of the moon.

After some time she was feeling a bit better and pressed her body up. But she was still too weak to stand. Being a part of it her feet did not leave any traces when she digged them into the snow although she still felt unhappy because of the higher gravity.

In the evening she finally managed to move on her feet. Her back hurt but she was the iceprincess so she did not show any sign of pain. Secretly she hated the winter. It always forced her to become human. At the beginning it was bearable. Of course the gravity was annoying but then she aged with the snow. So that she was all grey when spring came. And melting was always a bit embarrassing but at least after that she became an ethereal being again.

Today the ZombiePopcorn Dark Magic Winter event starts. Its an event which combines magic and winter. The sim on which it takes place looks just lovely with all the cottages, snow and wintergardens. The light there is amazing and actually it is good that there is a fireplace in nearly every house as it looks very cold. The wide range of creators, who sell their items on the sim, is great. All of them sell exclusive items for the event. The gown is the one from Faster Pussycat. It has a asymetric cut with a great texture which consists of discs. The parts of the body which aren't covered by cloth are covered with a texture which reminds on drops of ice. Beside the gown part the set comes with jewellery. The necklace and the earrings remind on frosted jewellery. The crown makes the set completly outstanding. It looks like organic forms made of ice. When seeing it for the first time it reminded me on the horns the forest spirit in princess monoke has on his head in the night. The dress comes on the shirt, trousers, undershirt and undies layer and all primparts are mod.

The wristlets are the exclusive item from PurpleMoon Creations. They look like small pearls made of metal put together with very thin strings. They fit great to the wintertheme. The set includes also a necklace and earrings in the same light and elegant design. It is possible to choose between more than 15 colours for the pearls and more than 10 for the strings. When changing the design of one part of the set the others also change their colours in that way, this is very handy in my opinion. At the same time the possiblity to change only the design of one part is also included. So this jwellery is not only a piece of great design it is also scripted on a smart way.
The black make-up belongs to the set of exclusive make-up from Virtual/Insanity. It creates a dramatic look. For the pictures I used the black make up but the set contains it also in green, teal, blue and purple.
The pictures have all been taken on the ZombiePopcorn Dark Magic Winter sim with poses from Purple Poses.

Dream Nails

The sound of nails scratching over the floor woke her up. First Anteia did not know where she was. But then she allowed her glance to wander through the room and she remembered that she was in the house of her lost grandmother.

She slowly turned around. Yes, the hat was still on her head no matter how she moved it did not move one bit. So she was really in the house of her grandmother. In her grandmother's opinion every female should wear a hat so with some magical tricks she made sure that hats always looked perfect in her house. But it wasn t the hat which woke Anteia, it were her nails. They had grown overly long during her sleep.

Anteia was a dreamweaver. But she was still young. Sometimes the things she dreamed became real which was seldom pleasant. Long nails were bearable. But one night she had dreamed of cookies. When she woke the whole room was filled with them. It had been way more difficult to get rid of them than it was now to get rid of the overly long fingernails.

The Frances outfit from Culto is very cute. It comes with a sculpted skirt with several little details like bands on the side and leather straps. The poffed sleves are sculpted as well. The outfit also contains a collar and a hat which of course can be worn seperate with other outfits. The corset comes in a version with and one without garters. The top is worn under the corset so its possible to wear the outfit on a more naughty way. The long gloves belong also to the set. All primparts come with a resizescript. The room with the couch is a pose prop from Miamai. The couch contains several poses and the walls and curtains change their texture on touch. The pose on the third picture comes comes from Purple Poses.

Gallery Opening

It was always the same. She ate too much at gallery openings. Now she was not able to take any pictures because her hands were covered with chocolate. It was really tricky to be a reporter.

Many events are going on today. One of them will be the opening party of the Insane/Focus exhibition at Lust4Art. Moolfryt Klang and Loviathar Hellman show pictures they took on their travels. They are intense and definitly worth to have a look at. Its even possible to buy them so that you can decorate their home with them. As Loviathar Hellman is the owner of Virtual/Insanity she built a gift for the opening party. Its the keychain with the camera. The opening party starts at 11 am SLT today. Club Industry DJ Demonica Bade will float the sim with some great music. The shirt is the current 22769 groupgift. Its included in a male and a female version and comes even with pants. The shirt goes well with the current temperatures as it is very warm. Today is a black friday sale going on. The Abyss sells those leather pants there for 100L$. They are also sold in a version for guys there. Beside the Abyss some other brands tak part in the sale. To go there you need to join thewarehouse group.
Some days ago was my rezzday. The cookie belongs to the Rez day gift from Concrete Flowers. There are some more munchies included into it.

Cookie Spy

The heat was nearly not bearable anymore but Ella was not willing to take off her gloves with the pretty decorations around her arms. She was now for a while in the city but still she hadn't met the guy she needed to contact about the news. So she did not want that anybody could see the implants she had in her arms. But of course all could see the strings in her face. Luckily they supposed that it would be only makeup. But she used them to send messages. So she sat regularly at the beach and stared to the sea the lines in her face glowing in turns. Sending messages about the quality of cookies to the cookie mafia.

Elly is in the current round of items at zombie popcornbrand. They made a shirt for it which says "I survived the apocalypse and all I got was this fucking T-Shirt". It comes on all layers and there is also a plain version without the text included. The bird on the wire makeup comes from Captivity Co. a store I thought which would have only great poses but they also make intresting make-ups and clothes. At the Virtual Insanity sim is at the moment a sale called "November Breeze" going on. The asia choker with the red pendant is in that sale but there are many more items. As Virtual/Insanity is a great store for accessories its worth to use the chance to visit the sale. The very cute shorts and the gloves with the wristdecorations come from a store with the name *CULTO*. I found it some days ago and their items are all very cute. The pants come on the trouser layer. There are four versions of the pants included in the set, with a white or with a black string and each of those with a normal and a lowrise cut. The prim parts are included in a version with and one without resizescript. The gloves with the wristbands are available in many colours and just lovely. Their primparts also contain a resizescript.

Hungry in School

It was very silent in the classroom. Half an hour ago it had been filled by the sounds of a class but then the teacher suddenly had to leave to have a talk with a mother, who was angry about her daughters marks, and he was so much in hurry that he forgot Emilia. And Emilia was always hungry. She belonged to a very old and feared family of hungerdemons and had not managed to transfer her hunger on others. So she constantly had the need to eat and unfortunatly she liked living flesh so much. Although she was not choosy when it came to food - her manners were perfect so she did not make any sounds while she started to eat through the rows. So the pupils in front of her did not realize what was going on behind them.

Most parents were shocked when they heared that Emilia would attend the school but all beings had to be treated equaly and after a huge donation the head of the school was quite willing to allow her to visit the school. The teachers were instructed to controll the young demon all the time. As only two or three pupils disappeared it seemed to work quite well. At least until the said mother came to complain about the marks of her daughter. She screamed so loud that the teacher's ear-drums were ruptured, as he told her that she would not need to worry anymore about marks as her daughter just had been eaten.

I still love the kitty galore claws from Virtual/Insanity. Those fingernails are very long and clawlike which makes them to wonderful items for roleplay characters. Its possible to tint them in several colours with the help of a menu and the set includes them in three sizes (10,20 and 30). The dress is the female gift from Bubblez Design in the 3rd Diamond Is Mine Hunt. Its a cute dress with as a polka dot pattern. All primparts, even the scarf, come with a resizescript so its easy to adjust them. The huntgift also includes a version of the outfit for men. For further informations about the hunt, which will start at the 18th. November, have a look at the huntsite. The scar in the face is of course an item from Hysteria. It looks a bit like a cut with a razorblade which has been sewed on a very simple and not well working way. Wasabi Pills released their Chloe hair now in all their colours. It comes with a hud which allows to colour the bands and stars of the pigtails and which also includes a resizing option. Its a very sweet hair which works very well at anime like looks. The skin comes from the Void Midnight Mania. It has a dark line in the middle of the face and the eyeshadow looks like it would be running down the cheeks. The skin comes with several eyebrow options, cleavage layer and even fitting elf ears.

Modeling in red boots

Evie wasn't rich enough to afford models to pose in her clothing. Luckily she was also not rich so she had to decide if she would buy cloth from her money or food and mostly she bought cloth. Which was not always healthy but good for her shape. So she was able to model the clothes she created. After a while she started to sell many of them. Which allowed her to buy more cloth and to create dresses which were even more stunning than the ones she had been making when she was broke.

Diapop and Somapop moved and has a nice dollarbie in their new store. Its a shirt and shorts in brown with a diamond pattern on it. The set comes with a fitting belt and its possible to mod the primparts to make the smaller. The new store of Diapop and Somapop reminds a bit on an empty factory building and is worth a visit.
Virtual/Insanity has a lot new items and the choker with the cross is one of them. The set includes two versions, one with a bigger cross and one with a smaller one. Those who do not want an inverted cross can modify the choker and just turn the cross around. There are also a fitting belt, fingernails and a legband avilable.
The red boots come from bax. They still have the wonderful service that they fit the boots in the store which is just so comfy and useful. Beside the great customer service the boots are of course awesome. Its possible to choose between four colours for the leather and several colours for the heel, sole and some more parts of the boots. Its possible to fold the boot-tops down (with several options for the texture inside of the boot-tops) or to hide the top part of the boots.
The skin is the Eboni Skin from ND/MD. I had to look how it would look on my normal shape and love the result. The hair comes from Magika. They have new colour sets now which contain a lot of colours at once.
The pose comes from Miamai. It belongs to a set which will be sold at the Vintage Fair which starts tomorrow. Its a great set of modeling poses.

Beings in the mist

The days at which the fog lifted were rare. Eideann did not care about this anyways. She knew that the beings which hid in the dust were most likely more afraid of her than she of them. As child she flipped when starting to see all the creatures but she soon figured out that they only saw her when she directly looked at them. Some of them tried to steal energy from her others just wanted to talk with her. She usually killed the ones who wanted her energy and for the others she wore a blindfold.

The henna jackets from Miamai just look great. This one is the black version of it. It looks like a normal elegant jacket with short tails on the back and the options to wear a feather collar. They consist of a jacket layer which keeps the bits covered and primparts for the jacket, sleeves and for the feathers. It can be worn with and without the feathers. All the prim parts are mod. The other items have all been blogged some time ago. But I have to admit that I really like the combination of the tattoo and the hair and so I used them again. The blindfold has been in a gatcha at the fashion fest it might be not available anymore. But illusions sells a very pretty one too. The thong belongs to a complete set thats why it is so expensive but there might be stores which sell single thongs.

Voodoo

The lunar phase was perfect. Xylia had spend some nights on building the voodoo doll. The spells would have worked as well at an other time but being able to use the full power of the moon was of course better. For the ritual she allready had put some blood into her face. Now she only needed to wait for the night.

The 5th round of the zombie popcorn hunt started yesterday and as always the prices are amazing. The green hair comes from Iren. It has a resize script and the cut is nice. Belote has the dress with the fitting stockings as huntgift. It comes on several layers. Virtual Insanity made a piercing for the lip which has pretty textures. The skin is a huntgift from the Plastik in the macabre hunt which ends today. There is also a male skin in the gift and the female one comes with several cleavage options. The set also contains blood on the tattoo layer. The tattoo on the neck is the gift from Needful Things. The boots are available at death row designs. Epic made this very cute Voodoo doll backpack.

Unicorn without horn

It was always horrible when Sandri forgot where her favourite being was. It made her feel lost and sad. She would not be able to eat any cookies until she would have phant back. The worst was always when she was all desperate her blood started to turn black and it tinted the veins so that her skin wasn't as pale as usually.

Sandri was a unicorn and was currently treated for drug addiction so she felt anyways often sad and exhausted. She had found her way from the fairy lands into the world of the humans by mistake and as most spiritual beings she did not enjoy her time there at all. Until she met a witch who offered her a drug which would help her to deal with humans.

First the price she had to pay to get the drug was bearable. The witch wanted some of her hair or a bit of blood. Sandri had no problem to pay with those things but of course she became more and more addicted to the drug. It did not only help her to deal with humans it also made her feel great and it was like she would be in the fairylands again. Finally the witch asked Sandri to pay with her horn for the drug. The unicorn first did not want to pay that price but after a week without the week she would have given also a hoof just to feel as great as with the drug. So she lost her horn. After this the witch was not intrested in selling her any more drugs as Sandri had sold all she had. Members of the supernatural rescue squad found her under a bridge where she had been searching for a troll who might be willing to kill and eat her and brought her to an asylum. She was not happy there but the other sick beings were supernaturals like her so it was a bit easier. And she had phant whom she had forgotten on a bench while watching the stars in the night luckily he had stayed there so she was able to find him again.

Hoo are currently moving to a new store and have some cute new stuff on their lucky chairs. For example those ears and the hooves. Both are mod and cute. The hooves include the hooves in three furcolours and the socks can be tinted with a menu. The tails are also from hoo and of course also mod. Death Row Designs has normaly great items on their midnight mania. The Dark Angel outfit is one of those. It comes with several layers and is very well textured. The Goggles are currently a groupgift at Contraption. Their groupgifts are only available for three days so its best to hurry as it will be only available for one more day. The goggles come in a worn version and one to wear them in the hair. The item has an resizescript. The details of it are amazing and there are patterns in the leatherband of the goggles.

Feeling the wind

The wind blowed softly through the long fingernails. It promised rain maybe even a thunderstorm and the return of a bird species which had not been seen for more than 30 years. At the most days Saran was annoyed about her fingernails but with the right kind of wind she was able to foresee the weather and a bit more with their help. Today was one of those days. She would sell the informations later. She hoped that she would once manage to foresee something which would allow her to cut her nails. But the wind was never really intrested in the future developments on the stockmarket.
Diapop has a new luckyboard. The prize is asheer grey top. It consists out of a system layer (on the jacket, shirt or undershirt layer) and a primbody. The body can be modified so its possible to make the top fit to the avatar. Although some suppose that the owner of Wasabi Pills is a violet monster, which nearly only eats cheese and is covered in bottle caps and cookies instead of scales, their latest release is very cute. Its short hair which has some longer streaks in the front. It could be either worn with or without the bow. The bow itself can be tinted in different patterns. I like the unique cut of the pony of the hair which reminds on a triangle. The hair is available in several colours and might even work when wanting to roleplay a housewife from the 50s. The really long nails come from Virtual/Insanity. They are included in 3 sizes in the set and it is possible to choose between several colours for every nail. The makeup, the wristlet and the shoes come from the same store. The makeup also contains more than only one colour in the set and the wristlet is just pretty. The Pose is a new release from Just a Pose. Its a set to show jewelry and of course also nails. The poses are currently sold on the jewelry fair.

Dictionary

Eiren walked alone through the tunnels. It was warm and humid so she had wrapped her hair together in a bun. Most of her skin was uncovered anyways as usually. She was not allowed to cover the runes and symbols on her skin.

Paper was rare since the last world war. Most materials which could have been used to create paper out of them were needed to make food out of them. But it was still needed to be able to translate the symbols which were painted on some ancient machines. And they needed a way to transport the information. For some time they tried to carve them into stone but it was work which took a long time.

Then somebody who was trying to solve the lack of paper problem saw a woman with a tattooed chinese symbol on her body. First they tried to use animals to tattoo letters and symbols onto them. But those always disappeared quickly. So they started to recrute humans like Eiren. She was now like a living rosetta stone. On her front was the same text written as on her back but she knew the meaning of them so she was able to help the scientists who worked with the machines. She wore implants which made her findable when ever she was needed. Sometimes she felt a slight burning in them. In those moments she was not sure if they really needed living skin as canvas or if they were using all the living dictionaries for experiment.

Virtual/Insanity released some new and some reedited stuff. For example the eye piercings. They were new textured. The set contains them in three colours and each of them for the right or left side or at both sides at the same time. The tattoo with the runes can be worn with or without the part for the back. The package includes it in a lighter and a darker tone. Its a great roleplay item. Those runes could be so much like magical spells or a curse which has been inherited. The new papilloma belly piercing looks like a small butterfly for the belly which is surrounded by several pearls. As the other sets this one does not only contain one colour but a black and a silver version. Virtual/Insanity also takes part in two hunts at the moment. The twisted one - they were so cool and put a list of hints in the store to make hunting more fun - and the american bazar birthday hunt. So its definitly worth to take a look at that store.
The trousers are the huntgift of Trapt! in the twisted hunt. The primparts have a resize script and the texture of the cigarette box changes on touch.
