Along Came a Spyder, 2

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: A blizzard raged in the City That Never Sleeps. Unseen to those struggling against the wind and snow drifts was a billowy shadow moving across the towers. His time was fast approaching. The penthouse over looking Central Park was a secret pleasure the ghost enjoyed returning to each year. It had been an easy task for him to create wealth, afterall foresight had it's perks. As he passed through glassy facade of his abode he was shocked to discover giant cobwebs covering everything. Below his dusty Christmas tree was a nest of giant spiders eggs guarded by a mutant spider. The distinct scent of a blood drinker hung in the air. He had not foreseen this! Who dares trespass on the Ghost of Christmas Future!

Don't hate me for sneaking in a Christmas theme post before Thanksgiving! lol  ...This image is inspired by the awesome Death Row Burton theme decor and the Nomad Gothic Diva gacha. I love the Burton Clocks, the hands spin wildly around on all the faces, both front and back. I put them with the Abstract Sculpture by Nomad, that has a very Ghost of Christmas Future vibe! On the pedestal, I used the new Wood Wreath by ASO on sale at the Creator's Collection Box. I tinted the holly very dark for a more gothic feel. The current round of CCB has a lot of cool Japanese New Year theme items and Christmas, as well as gifts.  The striped chair by Death Row comes in adult and pg versions, and has hud to change the texture patterns on the chair (black, white, striped, or checkered). The Death Row Burton table also comes with a texture change hud. On top of the table is the Death Row burton tea set. The Candelabra is from the Nomad Gothic Diva gacha. The gorgeous curtain hanging in the window is by Papermoon. It was a gift from the Nightmare event. The mainstore has other color and textures in the curtain for you to scoop up (I hope to see a gothic color theme set for the curtain set in the future!) The Christmas Tree is by Dysfunctionality. It can change color theme and it only 2li. It's also mod, so I tinted it for a more dusty look. Also tinted are the Botanical Spider Eggs under the tree. And the cute little Spid-eek is by Silent Sparrow. He's animated. All the cobwebs are from the Death Row Mystery Mansion gacha. The skybox is a beautiful new release by Haikei on sale at Kustom 9.

Plea of the Niwa Oni

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Niwa was a young Oni who never bothered anyone. Flowers were her passion. She created a magical garden hidden in a snowy pass that led Oni lands. It was so beautiful it fast became the favorite destination of Oni lovers. Until one day a human hiker stumbled upon it. Now the trees were being cut down, bulldozers were leveling the ground, and where her prized camellias once grew, a cement truck emptied its load. She was not a strong Oni. She could not stop the humans from building a lodge there. So with tears in her eyes, she turned to the one who could help her. "Please, Mizuiro-chama, save my garden."

The Immortal 500: The Warring Twins

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Team Kawaii had no enemies. They were two adorable twins racing their adorable, albeit slow, kawaii candy cars. Ahead of them in the race, other vampires battled ferociously. Team after team was knocked out of the race in the most gruesome way possible. The twins just giggled as they drove over wreckage. It was a classic example of The Turtle vs The Hare. But each twin had a secret; they didn't want the mysterious prize for themselves. They thought if they won the race, they could turn around and win their crushes' love by offering them the prize. As the twins neared the homestretch, one of them announced how happy her future husband would be that she won this fabulous prize for him! Her twin screeched to a stop and demanded to know who exactly she was talking about. Ironically both girls had the same idea, but they had 'shipped themselves with a different racer. One was Team Dev, and the other Team Nos. Things got nasty fast as they slapped, bit, and pulled each other's hair. They were so consumed in their battle over who was the cutest vampire racer ever, they didn't notice a dark shadow slip soundless past them.

How cute are all these goodies? On the left Twin Princess is wearing the cute racing theme exclusive dress by katat0nik, and matching hair bow. Each of the dresses have a theme and the bows match. Colors and themes are red/blue/heart, green/blue/star, pink/yellow/crown, and yellow/orange/daisy. To go with the princess theme, she is also wearing the gold crown by BluePrintz, and star pet. The star bob up and down, it's expressions can change, and a fading glow effect can be trigged. Her orange SpeedRacer helmet is by Geek. Her hair the new release Bonya hair by Ayashi, and be sure to pick up the cute star necklace group gift from Ayashi too. Her twins hair is Akina by Ayashi. Both twins are wearing gacha nail polish by Figure, and the cute ASO poka dot rainboots from the Arcade which ends today. Twin Lady Bug gets her name from the clever LadyBug helmet from Freebird, and the toy Lady Bug racing cars.  Each Lady Bug car is a toy you rez on the ground, approve the driving permission, then use your keyboard arrows to drive your Bug all over! The rare is a Lady Bug racing track. Her outfit is a romper from Paperbag with a decal on the back for Pit Crew. Her Roo goggles are Cubic Cherry, and the little Cubic Cherry racing cars are from the gacha. The racing snails gacha by Tentacio is also adorable, each with their own props, and a must have for the Snail Racers! And even though I said in the story above the candy Calories cars were slow, they are actually VERY fast. So fast I flew right off my work platform into a parcel line. lol They come in Grape and Strawberry.
