STORYLINE: A Seer came from across the sea to visit a child, named  Ragnar 'Hairy Breeches,' who was born to simple farmers in the northern lands. This infant," the Seer intoned slowly, "is smiled upon by Odin. A great destiny awaits him."

Touch it, and will begin to rock. The set coming with animal skin rugs, crib, mobile, artwork, rocking chair, and trunk. The chair and truck contain animations. The set has two color themes: warm (shown above), and the lighter weathered theme. The other decor pieces, large animal rugs, plank chair, game table, and candelabra, are by Roawenwood. The plank chair comes several varieties, draped, decorated, and plain. The game is decoration only. On the floor by the crib is the Norse Lamp by Pure Poison. The two shields are gacha from FDD Stories, and the Axe is fully melee scripted by EX Weaponry. The house is the Sigrun's Lodge by Frogstar.  The Seer's mask and staff are by Lab737. The Hercules shirt is by Peqe and comes in blue, green, tan, and red. And necklace The Plastik. The necklace comes in cord or chain, and can change metal and gemstone colors.

Mystery of the Mizuiro Oni

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: As the human population of Japan grew, they spread into territory long held by the youkai. Conflict and wars were fought. The youkai were stronger in every way, but they could not overcome the flood of invaders. As with any lifeform, loss of habitat has terrible consequences. The power and influence of the youaki began to wan. But among them was born an Oni child who appeared human but had strength not seen in generations. The reason for his appearance and power was unknown. It became his mission to protect the sacred Oni lands from human development.

This idea turned out so cool. It was inspired several great items from different events. From Uber, is the CerebusXing claws. Not only are they badass, but they work on TheMeshProject Male body. The hands on TMP body have only 2 poses, but you add these claws, you won't notice as much. lol The male size works on TMP only, and the rest of the included claws are several fits for the different girl mesh bodies. The Peqe collar comes with an open collar option, rigged and non-rigged, male and female, plus it can work on The Mesh Project male body! The collar is on sale at ROMP Fresh. ROMP Fresh is not the monthly weekend sale, no, it's a HUGE event stuffed with many things to make your Valentine's spicy hot! Do not miss it! It ends Feb 19th. ... I did something tricky with The Mesh Project body for this picture. There is currently no applier outfit in latex for men. So what I did was wear two mesh bodies. One has the Female Poison Latex Reine gloves and pants showing, and the other has only the bare chest area showing. Yes, this makes twice as much lag but it was only way to get the look I wanted for this character. ...The pipe is from CerebusXing and on sale at the new Japanese Designer sales event, Creators Collection Box. It runs until February 14th. The pipe comes in 2 versions, one for handheld and the other for the mouth. There is a very nicely done exhale effect attachment that will animate you too. The hud for it will allow you to turn on, and off the effect. ... The hair is brand new from Ayashi and the perfect style for my Oni character! It comes unrigged with an x,y,z hud to scale the size for a perfect fit. ... I used the no eyebrow version of Tableau Vivant's Felix head applier, and then switched the eyebrow with the new T.V. Sexy brows appliers on sale now at The Men's Department. The new brows also come in system layers for white, dark, blond, and red. ...And this part is very fun, I used the new Guardians Wing by Lovely Disarray eye makeup. It's so badass! It's works on the male Mesh Project Head! I hope to see more cool things like this for TMP. Love! It's on sale at Fashion Fair 2015. There is also a cool girl's eyeliner. (NOTE: You can not wear 3rd party makeup for girls on the male head, or vise versa. Sadly. The Shops eye-makeup is the only one that works on both girl and guy TMP mesh heads.) The off the shoulder kimono by ~SSS~ is a lot of fun. I could wear it using the alpha hud on the Mesh Project Body, no problems. ... For the cool effect on the back of kimono, is the new AIR Saligia gacha. For 50L a pull, win one of several colors. ... I used two Haus of Darcy piercings for my modern take on an Oni, the Lust nipple piercing, and TV piercings 8. The piercing are mod, so I made a few adjustments by hiding a few piercing to best with the TMP head and the smoking pipe. The belt by Epia is nice glossy black leather, and it works great here with the latex and jet back hair. The Hyerbole Horns were in a past We <3 Role Play and I was not able to find them still for sale in world. They photograph very well, there is a solid black cartoonlike black outside to them, and materials on the horn part that give a supernatural luster. The DirtyStories Damned prince horns just looked so cool here, I added them too. The pose is from the Axix Legendary Warrior gacha. I picked it up at a past Fantasy Fair. The next round starts soon. Okay gang, have fun for now, happy Valentine's Shopping.

The Cast Iron Angel

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: Snow crunched softly below his sandals. In a nearby cafe, hungry shoppers ordered hot coco and crumpets. They were blissfully unaware the Ghost Christmas Present moved among them strumming on his lyre. His fellow ghosts called him the Cast Iron Angel, for in these industrial times of bellowing trains and clanking factories, it seemed a more suitable moniker.

The Arcade returns this December with many fun items, and the stunningly beautiful Holiday Spirit gacha from Remarkable Oblivion. You can win holdable lanterns, rare Mother earth and Father Frost masks, rare wings, and the holdable lyres. Each lyre plays a song too! Just trigger it in local chat and it will begin to play. So classy, love it.  Remember the spooky cool Ray skin by Tableau Vivant at Xiasumi School Festival? I have good news, now you can get it in more tones, and it's on sale for 50% off at We <3 RolePlay for Christmas too! WOOT! You can pick up Ray with, or without eyeliner, in tones 1, 3, 6, and 10. (Note: You can find the matching hand and feet appliers at the main Tableau Vivant store.)

The Secret of Castle BlueBeard, 3

(click to enlarge)

.....WARNING: Much Horror in the finale.....

STORYLINE: She had enough of being scared of bumps in the night, ghosts in her dreams, and being left alone in a dark cold castle. She was not afraid! There was nothing in North Tower, it was merely unsafe. Perhaps it had some crumbling masonry? She grabbed the red key and marched up to the forbidden room. She didn't even pause to reconsider, before she shoved the door open. There, with his back to her the middle of room, stood her husband. He spun around and dropped a goblet in shock. It collided with the cold stone floor. A strange silvery substance splashed out. He was pale and feverish. His hair now a deep metallic blue. "You!" He pointed a long finger at her, "You're just like the rest. Worthless! I told you never come here!" He withdrew his sword, and waved it at her menacingly as he wobbled on his feet. Fresh blood dripped down the blade. She gasped and covered her mouth. "You did this to me! All of you!," he roared. "I traveled the world. No potion too insignificant! No matter what I tried, none of you whores could produce an heir." He grabbed her by the hair and dragged her. She squeaked and tried to loosen his grip. "You're not well, my love! What did you drink? Are you mad from wine?" He threw her on top of a pile of slain women. Who were all these women? What were they doing here? Why are they all killed? The shock was too much, and she fainted. "I was going to keep you, I loved you. I have no need for wives or lovers anymore. There will be no heir. I am the heir, the elixir has made me immortal!" He raised his sword high in the air to strike her down, but before he could deliver the killing blow, he coughed and fell to his knees. He began to vomit violently large volumes of liquid metal. Then the tremors stopped and he lay motionless in a pool of blood, vomit, and mercury.

I hope you all liked my twist to the tale of Bluebeard. Don't forget today is the last day for many great events! From Enchantment is the Good Wife ring. This is a nice ring that can fit either girls or guy and has a hud to change the textures. If you need a wedding ring or might need one in the future, you better run go get this now. The Aisling prize is the Bad Wife necklace. Its a key on a ribbon and it also has a texture change hud. This cool sword by Kalopsia is stamp prize. When you touch it, you can trigger 3 animations. The sword comes in clean and bloody. Nice! Bluebeards beard is by Tarnished and another fun stamp prize. What would a gothic villain be without an intense stare? Chop Shop has some nice Watching eyes that works great for Bluebeard. The coat he is wearing is by Peqe and also last day to pick it up on sale at We <3 Role Play. The shoulders are nice and square, love it. Also by Peqe is the fur wrap available at Tales of Fantasy. I got the white one and tinted it red for bluebeard. The wraps come in male and female, and several styles and colors. Over at the men's Department is is nice non-rigged mesh hair by Dura. I love the messiness of it. I got the white and tinted it to match the beard and coat. The armor is from The Forge gacha at Fantasy Gacha. Behind Bluebeard are two shocking Enchantment stamp prizes. The Bluebread Bodies by Death Row with a several wives hanging from hooks. This is really nicely done, if you like horror items, don't miss this. Adding more scare to the scene is Unrepentant's Heads on a Rope. Their hair is used to tie them to the rope. You can edit the mesh for tint and scale. .. Well you guys better get busy! You have lots of places to hit today before they close. Take care, and beware of men with Blue Beards.  Boowahahahaha

STORYLINE: I do not know her name, nor how she looked, but she has been my only companion throughout the long years. The first time she came to me, she threw me from the tower into the river below. When I did not drown, she set me on fire. When the flames failed to destroy me, she buried me deep in the earth. However, I was not there for long. She dug me up, her silence somehow colder than the air around us. Then she finally spoke, "You are reborn. You are MY daughter now." After that she was much kinder to me. She delighted in dressing me up and brushing my hair while she hummed a lullaby. I was never able to talk to her, but I think she knew I was listening. Perhaps she liked it that I never spoke, never told her I thought she was cruel. She seemed to grow more and more attached to me. She even told me a sad tale of how she deeply loved a man, but he broke her heart and married someone else. When the day came that I felt change was near, she leaned down to me and whispered, "It was I who did this to you. Forgive me." She kissed me on the cheek and breathed, "forget." I opened my eyes as I heard the sound of a heavy wooden door breaking. I saw the blurry form of man in red charge charge at dark female figure. His sword sunk deep into her chest. She did not cry out, or resist. She turned into a shower of green ash and finally my long nightmare was over. The man lifted me up, for I was too weak to raise myself. "Are you alright, miss?" 

Hurry! There's still a little time left to shop and collect prizes in the Sleepy Beauty Round of Enchantment. I'm showing this post the Maleficent themed items. I LOVE the Kalopsia dragon throne, it's super cool. It comes a few female sits, cobwebs, and broken columns. In the background amoung the thrones is the Sleeping Beauty castle set decoration piece. The headress by  Kalopsia comes in white or black and it's the stamp prize! Wonderful! You can pick up this cool Thorn hairstyle at the Violent Seduction store.
