Midnight Order: The Future Has Bite

The Future Has Bite

In the future, we'll soar high,

With drones and cyborgs to amplify

our strength, our speed, and our might,

To aid us in our every fight.

But beware, dear friends, for it's true,

That Nosferatu will have them too,

They'll fly with drones and wield AI,

Their power and influence, we can't deny.

With cyborg enhancements, they'll be swift,

Their fangs and claws, a deadly gift,

A force to be reckoned with indeed,

As they hunt and prey and make us bleed.

So take heed, my friends, and be aware,

The future holds a new nightmare,

Not just humans, but Nosferatu too,

Using technology to do what they do.

And I'm back with the next Midnight Order themed image, this time it's Cyber and Vampire! I got very into this making this image, does it show? It was fun to put together. (Thanks for the help, Akira!) Its been awhile since I did cyber, and of course I just love the NK Aranyc Back Alley fangs implants, they are the inspiration for this image. They are on sale at Midnight Order, which covers all themes dark, including cyber. Also from Midnight Order are the haunting Twinkle Eyes from Mana, and the Squirrel Hair by Zao. The hair is not rigged and comes with a popup menu to resize. In the background are the lovely Batmasks by Antaya. I love them! The statue models are none other than the brilliant Cyborg Heads by Whats Lost Spiritis. The Station Omega Base Kit skybox is on sale at Mainframe by The Eschaton. It has a clever auto alignment tool for building your hallway settings. The screens in the back are from Linkrave, and the screen is tintable. The Poem above was a collaboration with Chat GTP. I told it what I wanted, and made it try and try again. 14 times before the AI cut me off. lol So many had little lines that were great, but others were nonsensical. Too fun.

Engine Room: The Great Race of the Clockwork Kingdom, 3

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The roads were deserted all across the Clockwork Kingdom. The tension was thick in the air as darkness fell. Children strained on their tiptoes at the windows. Where were the racers? Did they crash? Did the new vehicles invented by the Cogworks fail? Who was winning? Suddenly, a distant cheer swelled up in the night air. And then the children heard it, — a thundering roar growing louder and louder. The kids squealed and ran to the rooftop. “Momma Momma,” they jumped up and down and pointed. “It’s the White Wabbit!”

Engine Room: The Great Race of the Clockwork Kingdom, 1

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The Queen of Clockwork Kingdom needed a quick delivery of an important package to the White Kingdom. When it finally arrived, her gift was broken and a month late. She was enraged. Up and down the throne room she paced, frustrated by the incompetence of her mechanical servants. The cogs of the giant clock ground loudly against each other as she mulled a solution. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Then suddenly, an idea struck her. "None is more speedy than the White Rabbit. He understands the value of time. Summon him at once!" she commanded. 

The Engine Room is back and larger than ever! With 100 designers and items inspired by Historical Fantasy . Or as I would say, the Future-That-Never-Was. That's right, all kinds of Punk styles are present, not just Steampunk, but Dieselpunk, Cyberpunk, Aetherpunk, Raypunk, and more.... Its a future as imagined from the past. And you find all the coolness at the Engine Room!

This post, and the Great Race series, was inspired by many awesome items at the current round of the Engine Room.  Shown above is the toksik Debonair Coat which comes many colors, and fits for men and women. The pocketwatches by torment gave me the idea to bring back to the blog the White Rabbit. The clocks have spinning clock hands too! The heart on the cheek is a gift by torment at the event. The Fonete Pince Nez glasses are by Celeste. I added the key from torment to the end. And finishing off this elegant look, is the gorgeous throneroom skybox, Lament of Innocence, by Spires Society. The window has animated clouds and magical sparkles. The orb lights on the ceiling are also animated. It makes my heart happy to do an image like this, it reminds me of past springs in SecondLife when I spent a lot of time chasing little hopping rabbits in the Wonderland gardens of RMK.
