Haunts of Halloween: The Undertaker

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The Undertaker had seen a lot of death. So much so he became obsessed with creating artificial life. He was fond of medical experiments on the dearly departed, and even believed if could capture memories of dead, photograph it if you will, then he could create a soul. But his dreams were impossible. He was quite mad.

Several things here from the current round of FaMeshed. The Tableau Vivant Beaumont hair is a sleek long rigged hair that is perfect for wearing under hat, or wearing prop like the Photographer's Eye by Remarkable Oblivion. Death Row has several fun things at FaMeshed like the face spider (soo creepy!), and fun top hat. The hat and spider are separate meshes, so I edited DaddyLongLegs a bit lower on the hat. The Pumpkin head is a fantastic group gift by Remarkable Oblivion and comes in 2 styles. The coat I am wearing is fun hunt prize by Absolutely Smitten for Men in the Sleepy Hallow hunt. You can't see it in this post, but I am wearing the perfect eyes for Halloween by Souzou Eien. They flicker like a candle in a pumpkin and really give you the feeling it's time for treat-or-treating. The shorts are Frozen Night's winter suit shorts for boys. This is a fun trick because the boy sized shorts work perfectly below a long coat with no poke out of the back! The system pants below them are from The Little Bat. The nail polish is a wearbable demo By Snow, and you pick up other colors if you want. And lastly, my kooky kool kind of Lincoln look is finished off with my much beloved Lassitude & Ennui rigged mesh suede boots.

STORYLINE: She brought misery to people's lives, and he sucked away their vitality. What a pair they made this Halloween.

Just in time for All Hallow's Eve, Rokumeikan releases the elegantly dark "Daemon Princess." The beautifully crafted Gothic Lolita dress comes with a rose and horn headdress. If you purchase the fatpack of Rose and Cross you will get bonus matching bonnets of red and gold!  I am wearing The Count by Adam Edelstien which is really fun to wear and also comes with a flexi vampire cape. The blindfold is by AIR and it's good to wear during moments when things are better left unseen. lol This cool long hair from the men's section at Alice Project. I got the Create Your Own version. The first time I did an Alice Project hair dye I was confused. If you see the red strand on the hair, don't worry. It goes away once you commit to a color.

STORYLINE: The smartest girl from Hufflepuff, a junior, had a secret crush on Fennimore. She didn't hesitate to rescue little white kitten, and smuggle him into her dorm room. She cooed at him, brushed his fur, and gave him warm milk to drink. 

Fulli is wearing the Hufflepuff uniform since that is the house she is sorted into, but you can get the RavenClaw girl's outfit at We <3 Role Play on sale for 25% until the 30th.

STORYLINE: When Fennimore awoke the next day from his "catnap" he saw her smiling at him as she handed him a robe to wear. "It's really in your best interest you don't graduate," she said. "You're not ready. Come on, I'll help you. We can study together." He blushed from embarrassment, but immediately agreed. With someone like her helping him, maybe he would do better. Never did it cross his mind the one who attacked him was not some jerk from Slytherin, but her.

I had a lot of fun with this. Seriously, how can you not have fun with a Harry Potter theme? lol  The robe I am wearing is the Kastle Rock Couture Eyes Wide Shut prize. The hunt ends Oct 7th. The collar is one of the many freebies that can be won at Death Row lucky chairs. My Slink feet match the SLink hands nicely. They're awesome. It's a good investment. For the Y&R pose I did a little gender reversal, (poor Fennimore needs a feisty red-head to keep him out of trouble. lol)

STORYLINE: Fennimore didn't know he was being followed. He was so engrossed in his own thoughts, when a real attack hit him he was caught completely unprepared. He attempted to return fire but it was too late. Fennimore spent the afternoon chasing mice in the library and licking his fur. He missed the final exam.

Are these new mesh hands by Slink great or what? Finally some badass claws, and I can paint my nails whatever color too. Thank you! The skin I am wearing is gorgeous new release Lucis by Tableau Vivant. There are no male hand and feet SLink appliers yet, but I am hoping Tableau Vivant will come out with some. The ears and tail are by Magika. It comes in all colors so it's not problem to match hair and Neko parts. The raven on my shoulder is one of the fun prizes rotating at the Sarcastic lucky board. The hair I am wearing is a cool new release by Ayashi that comes with color change hud pack, or you can get the fatpack with all colors. The kitty pose I picked up at Co*motions while on the Twisted hunt.

STORYLINE: It was the morning of the final exam. One more test and he would graduate Hogwarts School of Wizardary. But there was a problem. As brilliant as he was in creating new spells, he had a serious flaw. The pride of Ravenclaw was failing Defense Against the Dark Arts. He hated himself. Whoever heard of a wizard who could not deflect even the simplest attacks? He thought he was cursed. He was determined to study hard before the test and prove everyone wrong. "Frail Fenny" was not a weakling!

This Harry Potter inspired school uniform by FatePlay, (the cosplay division of FateWear), is wonderful! I highly recommend you scoop it up while it's on sale at We <3 Role Play before it ends on the 30th. This outfit has classic male tailoring that can work in many situations, not just role play. The outfit includes 6 standard sizes for male, and a child size, two tie options, two shirt options, and a wand with Aguamenti attack. There are 2 versions, a light grey one and darker grey exclusive to We 3 Role Play. I was so happy when I saw the house on sale was RavenClaw. I am a RavenClaw! I have taken many various "House Sorting" tests online, and always end up as a Raven. lol What Hogwarts house are you?

Madpea Writing Contest: THE DEATH VOTE

Madpeas held their first creative writing contest. The goal was to write about Death Row Island for a Halloween hunt and writers had only 5 days to do it. Many stories were submitted, but only one can win. There are also prizes for 2nd and 3rd place. Since there are so many great stories, each day one of the stories submitted will be published on the Madpea blog leading up to the Halloween hunt starting Oct 6th. My story was published on the Madpea blog today (warts and all! *blush*). I assume that means it was not picked. Loosing is sad for me personally of course, but it is also exciting for me as a hunter because whichever story did win, it will to be amazing and created by a new super talent who has just been discovered!

Readers of my blog have enjoyed my little short stories for a while now. Maybe you can critique my effort and/or enjoy a short trip into my imagination. Head over to the Madpea's blog to read my story here: THE DEATH VOTE

Deep in the Pacific Ocean there is a floating pile of garbage twice the size of the United States. It's within the center of this swirling mass that civilization's other trash is held: terrorists, murderers, and the criminally insane. Death Row Island, as it is called, serves as a secret prison where the government can make certain undesirable people disappear, no questions asked.

Good start, right? Well, it gets weaker after that. lol. If you would like to give feedback on my story, I invite you to post to the comments here on my blog or you can send me a message/notecard inworld to DevinVaughn resident. ...And don't worry, I'm not thin skinned. Good critique is necessary to improving one's skill! Fire away!

Now more details about the story.... I had no idea what to write at first. Often when it comes to creative problem solving, you need to avoid your first thought and instead reach deeper. I spent three and half days thinking only about concept. Afterall, an island of criminals is not a trip to Disney World. lol. My idea of the Death Vote (literally being voted off the island) was my first idea. Maybe it was good, or maybe it was bad. lol I had three false starts. The characters were such horrible people, I lost interest in writing this story. (This is not one serial killer like in normal Madpea games, but all of them!) There had to be an angle that made it worth the effort. When I hit upon an idea to turn the doctor from criminally insane to innocent young college student, all the pieces fell into place. Sadly, once I had worked out the major problems, I had only one day to write it. This story truly needed much more time to flesh out, but maybe it's a good thing the deadline was only 5 days so it cut me off from spinning my wheels on a concept that might not have been the right one for a Madpeas hunt. It does matter to me I didn't give up. I was so relieved when I hit that send button.

I want to thank my Family, Fulli, Azure, and Remmy for their help, feedback, and encouragement. Thank you!
