Androgyny Event / Cyber Fair: Escape from Club Apophis, 5

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: As Jihoon scrambled out of Robotics class, still flushed from Minjo’s interrogation, he was already halfway across the quad when a small hovering reporter bot cut him off mid-step.

“Urgent summons,” it chirped in the Hexa Herald voice. “Lisa Liemawr requests your immediate presence. Coach’s orders. Follow me.”

He blinked. “Coach... what?”

But the bot had already zipped off. Jihoon followed, uneasy. He needed to talk to Minjo. This had better be quick.

Before he could protest further, a flash burst in his face, ...blinding and white-hot. He recoiled, vision flaring. Around him, people and machines whirled in a frenzy: drones adjusting lenses, photog rigs pivoting, someone yanking at his sleeve, voices shouting over mechanical hum.

Then Lisa’s unmistakable voice cut through the chaos: “He’s here. Perfect. Light him up now. Reset the aperture! Kyra, ready on pose option C!”

Another voice, silky and seductive: “Over here, Ringer. Lemme see those pretty eyes.”

Jihoon turned, dazed and partly blinded. “What’s going on? A photoshoot?”

“Of course!” Lisa’s voice was far too chipper. “Quick! Uniform change. Baseball kit. Chop chop, handsome.”

Warm fabric was thrust into his arms. He obeyed without thinking, numb. He dodged curious gazes as he changed behind a portable screen.

When he returned, blinking under the harsh photolights, the scene snapped into focus. A turquoise backdrop curtain stretched behind a girl so flawless he wondered if she was CGI. Tall, feline, radiant: the head cheerleader, Kyra. Skin like silk-augmented vinyl, cyberlock hair twisted into luminous braids, and the school colors etched along her cheekbones in shimmering nano-paint.

“Kyra, give us coy. No... Flirt! You're in love with him.”

Jihoon glanced around. “Where’s the coach?”

Kyra turned, smiled, and grabbed his wrist with cool, perfect fingers. “Photoshoot, Ringer. You need autograph photos for the Season Opener.”

He stared. “Autographs? Me?”

She leaned in close, her voice a whisper only he could hear: “Just smile and look at the camera. You’ve got the face. You’re already poster boy material. Time to act like it.”

Jihoon’s palms were sweating. His breath caught. She smelled like synthetic cherry and static electricity.

Meanwhile, the reporter bot’s feed overlay scrolled data across his form: heart rate spiking, pupil dilation, body-heat map, facial symmetry score—everything flagged as “high engagement.” The drone beside it captured slow-motion loops of his blink, the tension in his jaw, the way his uniform clung to his frame. Every detail was logged for the livestream and future promotional clips.

And suddenly he wanted nothing more than to be anywhere else.

Cyberpunk meets Sportswear! Big thanks to my blogger bat buddy Aarya for her creative take on cyberpunk cheerleader. This post was inspired by the ongoing story and the Fewness shirt for men at Cyber Fair. It comes with fits for Legacy male, Legacy female V-tech, Reborn V-tech, and Anatomy. The Hud has a combination of texture theme options for outer shirt, lower shirt, and 3 detail areas. For me, I used red and the dragon on the back became the mascot for my fake university, the Jae Won Dragons.  ...Adding a futuristic take on baseball, is the BISON Vortex Gauntlet gloves. The Hud comes with options for glove texture, special effect texture animation style, and adjustment for the glow color. Plus you can turn on and off the energy lines aura. (I went without aura for this post.)   ...Who needs cleats? Gimme big old antigravity Moonboots by Cattoza. These boots are very fun, with cat kawaii details but you can turn it off like I did. Lots of color options. Works great on men and women.   ...Keeping track of Jihoon's bio stats, is the ZERO black light that sits on the skin and the flash version lights up your cheek like a high tech bandaid. (See close-up below).    ...What does cyberpunk Baseball need? Latex pants! Don't ask me if they get hot, who cares if they are painted on BOM layers by Cubic Cherry. They are just so handy to have, and the add-on Fades on top of it are nice revision to the baseball white pants and team color knee socks.   ...I was having a fit trying to find the perfect skin for Jihoon, (I mean its a tall order), but then I magically discovered a perfect solution at a new-to-me-store on a weekend sale, Soo by Outernaked. There are several great skins there and wealth of different skin tones to match your favorite bodies skins too.   ...I added the Random Matter's Cyber Doc headset for a twist to the black cheek grease paint often used in baseball and football.   ...Aarya, as Kyra, is wearing the Seka's Tech Base boots. They have PBR texture options, and the fatback has a huge choice of color selections, and animations too, to make the perfect look for your outfit. The boots come in tall and short boot, fits for men and women.

Necrotize: An Impostor Among Us

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The PA system of The Skeld suddenly crackled to life, "Emergency! Emergency! Meeting Called!" Crewmate Pink rushed down the spaceship hallway. Not again... not another death. First was Purple, then Yellow, and now... ? She was so lost in her thoughts that she ran right into crewmen Blue. A monstrous tongue whipped out of a gaping hole in his belly right at her. She screamed. BANG! BANG! BANGBANG! Bullets ricocheted off metal. She ducked and covered her head. After the smoke cleared, she heard heels clicking towards her. "Is he dead?," she shyly asked. The heels stopped. It was Cyan, "You mean IT. Blue died a long time ago. And you're welcome." She put her gun back into it's holster. Green kicked off Blue's helmet to reveal the skeletal remains hidden inside. White gasped, "That's not possible! Blue was with me in engineering the whole time! He couldn't have been dead!" Red sighed, "Of course its possible. How long have we been without oxygen? With these stupid helmets on, none of us can even see each other! We have no idea how long he was like.... that," she shuddered. "Umm... guys," Black began slowly. "If Blue was in engineering, who sabotaged the oxygen so we needed to wear helmets?"  They all looked at each other suspiciously, and slowly backed away. Among them was another alien, if not more....

Necrotize is open to fill your Halloween with creepy Scifi horror.  If you haven't guessed already, this image was inspired by the game "Among Us," the animated Maw from Ambix, and the many super cool alien and astronaut boots available at Necrotize. (Be sure to check out the Cinphil and Cureless boots with male fits!) The event looks like the alien mothership from the nightmares of H.R. Giger. You have got to go check it out. And also there are lots of gifts for you too, just touch those icky green eggs... if you dare!  Booowahahahahah.
