Booey Halloween!

There was silence in the Evil Enchanted Forest. Ominous silence. Every poisonous plant, every bat and snake was ready to pounce on anyone who dared wander around among the bushes on Halloween Night.

Yet, all of a sudden, the guardian of the Evil Enchanted Forest, an ancient oak, couldn’t believe his… well, his ears, had he had anything similar to a human ear on his trunk at all. Someone was happily singing and hopping along the narrow path, that lead to the very centre of the forest, a stinky black swamp. 

A little girl, carrying a bunch of orange balloons that looked like jack-o’lanterns. “The itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout…” – sang the silvery high-pitched voice. “At least she is stylish… let her through!” – whispered the Guardian and the poisonous plants, the bats and snakes remained withdrawn among the shadows.

I Am Aries

Her head ached. More than that… her head wanted to explode with pain. But what can you expect when you’re after the umpteenth attempt to break through a door by – literally – ramming it? There were times when she actually hated her job, albeit the profession she chose fitted her perfectly. There were times when she felt like fish in the water... now that was a mixed metaphor, she thought a second later, given that she wasn’t fish. She was ovine, with a pair of beautifully curling horns, and sheep seldom swam. “Ooohh... it’s starting again!” – she was silently howling as the dolour hit her forehead one more time. “An hour, maybe an hour and a half, and my shift is over!” – she thought thankfully, and she gave in to the excruciating pain.

The soldiers had been attacking the castle relentlessly, for days and days. They used a battle ram to bring down the main gate. The heavy instrument broke into pieces but not before it smashed through wood and iron, allowing the conquerors to pour in the fortress. The siege was over, the weapons were dropped for a while, and nobody cared about a destroyed battle ram lying in the moat.

I might have mentioned now and then that one of my absolute favourites among SL avatar creators is doubtlessly Alpha Auer. Now you have a unique opportunity to stock up on her wonderful beings for a ridiculous price reduced by 50 %, as 30 full avatars from the main collection will be permanently removed from the inworld store, and after April 7^th they will only be available at the SL marketplace. You still have a long, long weekend to shop, so visit alpha.tribe.island, it’s definitely worth it!

I am Aries IRL so I visited the current Zodiac event, dedicated to my sign, with extra curiosity. I didn’t regret the trip, as the spectacular horns by *BOOM* would make any ovine truly proud of being fiery, headstrong and smart. :)

Horns: “I am Aries” in Gold by *BOOM* - special offer at the Zodiac Event until April 14^th (199 L$)

Well Done Bun Bun

He was exhausted. He had supervised the colouring of about six and a half million eggs... and before that, he had had to talk millions of anxious mother hens into surrendering their future brood for a nobler purpose. Oh my... luckily, he spoke Hen fluently. Then the manufacturing of chocolate bunnies, what a headache. His hired workers, some dumb elves from Santa’s factory on vacation, wanted to make each and every chocolate bunny to his image, like they did with the chocolate Santas in wintertime. What a personality cult... he had always known good old Claus loved adulation, but the extent of the man’s vanity, experienced from close, was astounding. “I’m so glad Easter is over!” – he thought. “Being the Easter Bunny is no fun at all. Carrots, on the contrary, definitely are.” He lowered his front paws so that he was on all fours, like a cute ordinary bunny should be, and he happily hopped away, towards a nearby orchard. He was free for one more year. He felt one lucky hare.

Happy Easter, everybody! :)
