The Castle of the Marquis d'Auvergne, 1

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The elderly man guided his unassuming grey roadster down a gravel path. His passenger was a wealthy American rock star traveling incognito. He was paid well to secretly escort the strange youth to the crumbling castle of the Marquis d'Auvergne, but he sincerely dreaded going to that haunted place. "Le château est maudit," he shook his head sadly. "Oh, cursed you say?" a delighted grin curled across the lips of his passenger. The lad spoke French, but it was an odd dialect his old ears could barely comprehend. It was easier his patron used English instead. "I sense there is an entertaining story behind this so-called curse. Tell me everything."

This amazing French castle by Death Row was just begging for a twist that I'm sure vampire aficionados will appreciate. *wink* The french style castles are my absolute favorites. This castle is the rare in the Mystic Bastion gacha. Inside this massive castle there are 10 rooms. From the main purple hallway you can go to the stain glass staircase, turn right to the grey hallway to the green bedroom, and library. Then climb the stairs to the 3rd level brown room, and washroom. Take the green hall and stairs up to the 4th level's bedroom and balcony. From the left of entryway is the ballroom. You will need a plot size around 64 x 128 to rez it and 1100 free prims. The gacha is also stuffed with many other wonderful gothic goodies.  Other gacha items in the image are: the Roadster by Consignment, Paris suitcases by Apple Fall, Nikotin cigarette, and the new outfit gacha by Gabriel on sale at The Epiphany.  The Ryleigh hair by Truth I'm in love with, it's the best body wave hair I have seen in SL, and it works perfectly for the men. The back is cut up higher so it works great with jacket collars. It's marked down for the 12 Days of Savings in the marketplace.  The nails and locket .Shi necklace was from the past Bluebeard round of Enchantment. It's a very cool design, and one of the items recently on sale recently at .Shi for their anniversary.  The goggles were a past hunt prize by Kumaki but you can find similar styles in their mainstore.  Are you wishing you had some nice gloves for your MeshProject body? Swagga has you covered with the new Leather Gloves. They come with two colors, black and brown, and two fits for normal and under the sleeves. My avatar is wearing the new beautiful Tox head applier by Tableau Vivant. (more shots of it to come as the Phototelling in this series to continues.)
