STORYLINE: “No no,” the Newspaper Delivery Guy said, “I heard it was a secret society behind the Earthquakes.” His incredulous friend, the Barista of Steam Beans, laughed and slapped him on the arm. “For a newsman, you sure do love your fancy conspiracy stories!” He huffed, “It’s not a conspiracy story if its a real conspiracy!” She shook her head and poured gain alcohol on a napkin and dabbed his face with it. “Ouch,” he jumped. “So tell me, you big baby," she smiled, "how you really got those nasty gashes on your face?” He blushed with her so close to him, tending his wounds. “You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” She gave him The Look. “Fine, fine. I saw a comet hit the ground, buildings fell, and people running out of that Secret Society building I told you about. One of them was screaming back to others still inside, “Lord, he’s coming! Reset it! Reset it!” She was leaning in on his every word, “and then?” He shifted nervous, “I saw a giant emerge from the crater. He was twice, no four times as tall as me. He looked really pissed. And he held a great sword. But get this, it was on fire!” She had that skeptical look on her face once more, "And then what?” "Nothing," he shrugged sheepishly. "Nothing?" ...“Ok fine, I ran! You would have run too if you were there!" She laughed, "Don't tell me, you tripped on a stack of newspapers, and hit the railing with your face." He looked away and blushed. "Oh shit, you did! Poor baby," she pet his arm. He yanked it back, "Nuh uh! I fought that big Angel barehanded and kicked his huge big ass!" She chuckled and shook her head.

STORYLINE: A mist rolled slowly into the sleeping village. Tomorrow would be a buzz of activity during the summer festival, but for tonight the air was calm with only an occasional cricket chirp, or croak of a lonely frog. Stalking silently in the tall grass was the Little Lion, protector of the village. It was hard work keeping the rats away so the big event would run smoothly, but quiet moments like this made it worth it for the tiny fierce hunter. She sprung up with ease on top of her favorite place, the rock water fountain in the garden. From her perch, the Little Lion surveyed her territory. Then smiled in her own catlike way for a job well done, and took a drink.

STORYLINE: Wesley was a drifter. He ran away from the orphanage when he was 17, and decided one day, "Hey, I want to go to college, yeah." It didn't matter he was not enrolled, he just sat down behind the prettiest girl in class and no one bothered to tell him to leave. Except Dorothy, of course. He poked her shoulder, pulled her hair, even shot spitballs at her but she always ignored him. When he found out her birthday was the next day, he got the idea to bring her flowers. Hey, girls love flowers, right? Well after picking a handful poppies, he fell asleep in the poppyfield and had the strangest dream. A tornado spoke to him. It called him The Great Antagonist of The Usurper. It offered him all its power, kingdom, and servants. "Sounds great, what's the catch?" he giggled in a poppy colored haze. "Water must never touch you." He laughed and accepted. The next morning he woke up strangely dressed with a powerful headache and a flying monkey asking, "Master. What is your heart's desire?" He couldn't help it. The very first thought that popped into his head was the birthday girl. Suddenly, he heard a scream above him. He looked up. It was Dorothy! She was falling from the sky! He dove and caught her just in time. Then Toto jumped out of her basket and bit him. "Hey! I saved you, stupid Mutt!" He glared at Toto and suddenly a muzzle materialized on little terrier. Both Wesley and Dorothy looked at each other and blinked.
My idea for this post was actually inspired a game and the witch theme items at the current round of the Fantasy Gacha Carnival. I had an idea to gender flip the Wicked Witch of the West, and then a few days later discovered Enchantment was doing the Wizard of Oz! So naturally I took it as a sign to go for it! So here is Wesley, the new mischief maker of Oz.
STORYLINE: Much has been written about the boy who never grew up, but few know the true genesis of the tale. Behind the sweeping adventures in Neverland, there was always the sound of a ticking clock. Tick tock. Tick tock. Tick tock.... Perhaps one needs to look no further than the archenemy of the boy, Captain James Hook, for an insight on what was really going on. Hook was forever trying to kill Peter. But isn't it odd the fearless pirate grew weak at the sight of blood?
Enchantment is going on strong with many wonderful creations, live performances, and of course the popular hunt. This round's theme is Peter Pan. Each round I enjoy making my own twist to the fairy tale. This time I found an interesting detail about story's creation, I hope you enjoy it. ... Shown above is the Pan Pants by Pucca Firecaster. They come in male and female, two leg lengths (one long and one for boots), and also include a hud for texture change. The pants are mod, so you can tint them too. The wonderful Admiral hat is by Remarkable Oblivion. You can get red, blue, brown, or black. The hats come with a resize script. The Skull and Crossbones eyepatch is from the gacha by Astralia. By AiShA is Corsair Hook Hand. There were several other hook styles, this one worked great for me under the coat and it's rigged. In the background is the Neverland Clock by 22769 ~ [bauwerk]. The clock keeps time and makes noises too. Finishing out my outfit is the jacket, sash, tattoo, and necklaces by BareRose's Pirate Emperor. The boots from The Raider outfit by Quality Designs. They are sculpted prim that attach to the upper leg and foot. The traditional Captain Hook has a black ringlet wig but I would much rather rock a Jack Sparrow style so I used the No Smoke dreadlocks by No.Match. They come in both male and female fit. The goatee is by Scared, and the sword with texture change hud is by Kalopsia. The Season 5 ears by Mandala are awesome! I picked them up during the 12 Days of Savings going on right now in the marketplace. Just type "12 Days of Christmas" in the search and you can see all the deals. The Tox skin by Tableau Vivant you can buy as a system skin, shown above, or face applier for the TMP head. For body appliers for SLinka nd TMP, you can get those at the mainstore. This picture was taken at pirate island in the wonderful adventure game PaleoQuest by Linden Labs. I love that place, its so fun to visit.
I love these decor pieces, makes me feel like a kid again. How awesome is that pirate bed by Nomad? It comes in 2 colors and it's mod so you can tint it too. The Captain's desk by Tia has so many wonderful details from the story Peter Pan built into it. Setting: Bed:NOMAD // Pirate Daybed // Red, 10li [mesh](Enchantment)(350L) Chair, Lamp, desk:Tia Captain's Chair, Captains Chair Lamp, Desk,11li [mesh](Enchantment)(750L) Clock, top image: 22769 ~ [bauwerk] Neverland Clock, 10li [mesh](Enchantment)(165L)
STORYLINE: Ah,... RockStar on a high after kicking ass hard in an arena of screaming fans. Could there be any man riding more high on extreme levels of testosterone? Perhaps, but Madame Mon Dieu preferred the sexy musician over danger seekers. There was no better challenge for her particular talents. It gave her a special thrill to seduce them as an adoring fan, luring them into her lair. Little did they know, they had met their match. Madame Mon Dieu would leave them crying like babies and begging for more.
ROMP time! Be sure to get the goodies today before midnight. For this post inspired by several items, I had an idea of Rock Star vs Dominatrix. Fulli is helping me out. While we both felt out of our element in this pose for ROMP by Rack Poses, I think we pulled it off leaving some to the reader's imagination. ...Lots going on here. Let me start with the Skull Boots by Swagga. You can pick three color versions on sale at a discount at We <3 Role Play. The pants were a gift by Tameless from Apply Your Body Hunt back in March. The Drape top by Tableau Vivant looks great with The Mesh Project body on sale at the Xiasumi School Festival. For a change I am wearing a darker sunny skintone, Tone #7 by Tableau Vivant. The face applier is the new Yukio head by TV on sale at The Men's Department. This badass guitar is a raffle gift at BareRose. The TV Bohemien Male hair is on sale at Shiny Shabby. This style works great under hats! The ass kicking Tank helmet is by Couture Rock. ... Full is wearing the Winter Fleur Cuff by Forever Famous on the ROMP sale. The corset is Fifis Boudoir by Junbug. (Junbug's main store is under construction right now and this outfit is not currently out for sale.) The boots are by BAX.
In the setting are two objects that were a part of the Rock Attitude Fair by Unkindess: the Roadie Bench in black with several poses, and the Bad Axe guitar wall art. Both have different color options. From last month's ROMP Fresh round is the sleek Decadence furniture bench, and Black Leather Bed by 22769 ~ [bauwerk]. You can get both sets in PG or Adult at the mainstore. It's wonderfully made and low land impact. The new ROMP round The Little Black Dress(er) by Fetch matches it perfectly! It gives a little more female touch to the Decadence set's look. Another item that is a must have, is the wonderful Industrial Cages by Souzou Eien. They look simple, but once you add them to your setting, you see just how awesome they are. Both cages include a single pose that fits an avatar perfectly inside. I love the long chain. The cages worked great hanging from the EliBaily Stratford Industrial Loft which was for sale last round of the TMD. (Note: The skybox does not appear to available for sale right now.)
