Style with Tia : A Koi Mermaid

Fashion is really something that we each make our own choices about. We all have our own unique opinions on it. It is these opinions that help us to be able to create unique avatars, looks , and characters within Second Life.

In the past I know that I have had a post with a mermaid. But this is a style card post. Which is different than the last post I did where I did a short role play example along with a picture of a mermaid character. I put together this look for the mermaid party that happened at Never Never Land on monday.

A Pirate & Fairy Go To The Moon (Part 2)

Tiamet hears the comment and forgets her vendetta with the clock and she flits out the hatch eyes as big as turkey platters, squeals gleefully "We're on the moon?"

WldDog Nods. "Yeah, but don't go far. The magic of the ship will not let you breath for too long away from it. Do you want to know what the moon tastes like?"

Tiamet eyes the moon and is unsure "It doesn't quite look like pie like I was promised." she sulks leaning on the ships railing her lips pursed into a disappointed pout.

WldDog runs below and checks to see if the magic ship was ready to withstand much time in space. He returned to the fairy. "Well, now is your chance. In a few minutes the moon will be as far away as it ever was."

 Tiamet leaps over the railing and lands gingerly, the dust of the moon clouding up with the impact as her wings flip. SHe frowns some as she shifts scooping up handfuls of the gritty moon surface she lets out an annoyed sound "This isna pie!"

 WldDog smiles "Nothing in space is as it seems. If we make it back, perhaps you can tell your friend what the moon really tastes like"

Tiamet grumbles and stuffs a handful of the grey matter into one of her pouches. "Nope I has them taste it themself."

WldDog finally notices the springs and other components sticking out of the clocks. " Did you do that?"

 Tiamet sits on the steps and nods "yes those nasty clocks tried to kill us!"

WldDog scratches his head. "I forgot you eat metal"

Tiamet giggles "Is that a bad thing?"

 WldDog: "well, it is if we want to get home in one piece."

 Tiamet sits on the steps flipping her wings "well how do we get back to Never Land?"

WldDog: "I do not know how long the magic will keep us here. It could be minutes, or it could be years. You see, this spot here? That is where the key goes to lock in a time. You ate the gear that it turns and now i have no way of knowing when we will be sent back. And I am not sure, but I am guessing the food here is not very plentiful."

Tiamet eyes the clocks "I dunno bout you but I think we has plenty of food." her tone is pouting. "And which gear do you actually need back?" She tips her head almost in a bird like manner waiting for his response.

WldDog reaches for the fairies head and grabs a handful of hair. He looks down her throat hoping to see what else she had eaten recently. "What else do you have in there?"

Tiamet acks swatting at his hand "leggo! I has the key, about 6 gears, 2 springs, some buttons, and a small metal whistle that I had for a snack around lunchtime...."

WldDog laughs "You may be our ticket back home, you little thief." He picks up the fairy and shakes her upsidedown, hoping to dislodge anything he can.

Tiamet pouts and squirms "Am not a thief!" squeals as is shaked upside down, but all that drops out of her mouth is one of the smaller cogs.

WldDog listens for more items to fall to the ground, but is distracted as he realizes her dress still falls in this gravity. He slows the shaking as he focuses and then steals a kiss from the inside of her thigh.

Tiamet lets out some more yelps as is shaken, she lets out a startled sound and wriggles like a fish as feels the kiss brush her skin. She debates if she oughta just bring the metal bits and bobs up or not, but they're hers, she wantsa take them to her treasure hidey hole.

WldDog tries to hold her, feeling her skin against his was as enjoyable on the moon as it was back home. He squeezes the slippery fish as tight as he can, but she is able to wiggle away.

Tiamet flails some with a small growl grabbing the little cog that had fallen out and popping it back in her mouth as she scrambles to hide behind the desk.

WldDog picks up the clocks and carries them to one of their many pirate treasure lock boxes. He soon locks them into the chest and approaches the desk. "Do you really think you can hide from a pirate on his own ship?"

[23:06]  Tiamet scrambles to keep 3 sides of the desk between them. She peers at him over the edge of the desk her fingertips barely visible as she leans on the desk. "No, but keep my treasures I plan to." Her tone is sulky as she pouts at him.

A Pirate & Fairy Go To The Moon (Part 1)

[22:18]  WldDog (wldknight): be careful of the clocks on my desk. They open portals

Tiamet peers over and eyes the clocks "what kind of portals?"

WldDog : well... I opened one to hell yesterday. Had to get a guy back"

 Tiamet giggles her eyes widening in amusement "there's no such place!"

WldDog smiles, "Oh yes there is. I have been there, recently. The demons there dont like me hacking them to pieces"..."Can't say I blame them"..."took one of their helpers from them. They never like that."

Tiamet laughs merrily "no more than my kin appreciate the sort of things akin to that."

WldDog: "Good point. Is there anyplace you would like something from?" He eyes the fairy carefully.

Tiamet hrms "The moon? Is supposed to be made of apple pie, my friend the Doctor told me so once..."

WldDog: "Hmm... I always thought it was cheese. Lets see." He places the clocks on his desk and points all the hands to the sky. He grabs a book of the shelf and opens it to retrieve a key from a hollowed out portion section of the book.

Tiamet giggles leaning in and running a fingertip on the back of his neck as he places the clocks, she watches with interest "Hook doesn't like clocks you know...."

WldDog: "Yeah, he doesn't like these either, but he knows what they can do so i am allowed to keep them. As long as he doesn't have to see them"

Tiamet giggles and makes a grab for the key "what's that for?"

WldDog Takes the key and winds the clocks, then replaces the key to the book.. only to have the fairy remove it before he could close the book. "That is one of the ways the clocks work" He reaches for the key

Tiamet balances the key on the tip of her nose like a seal would a ball, and dances out of his reach giggling "It's shiny! am keeping it!"

WldDog: chases the fairy around the room. "No no no no,,, don't drop it. It could destroy the clocks."

Tiamet flips it off her nose and catches it in her teeth grinning at him some from the other side of the desk. She tips her head and opens her mouth taking in the key and holding it like a squirrel would a nut "Why?"

WldDog: "I dont know what would happen. The magic of the clocks is locked onto the moon, and if it is destroyed right now it could bring the whole moon to us and destroy never never land."

Tiamet squeaks and swallows the key startled by the idea

WldDog slowly approaches Tiamet and just misses the key before it is swallowed. A look of fear crosses Wlddog's face. "Oh no."...."No no no no no no no."

Tiamet winces some feeling the key go down she blinks looking sheepish "sorry >.>"

WldDog gives her a blank look as he looks at the clocks. "Well, it seems like everything is alright....." The entire ship starts to shake. "never mind!" He shouts.

Tiamet squeaks and fllips her wings hovoring off the shaking floor, a frightened expression on her face as she watches books tumble off the shelves "what is that?"

WldDog looks around and runs on shaky ground to look out of the hatch, fearing he does not see the moon rushing to crush them all. He looks in dread as he does indeed see the moon flying towards them. "I think we all are going to die now."

Tiamet flips her wings anxiously and picks up two of the clocks and starts shaking them "Make it stop!!!"

WldDog  rushes over to her and carefully takes the clocks from her. "No no no... That could make things worse!" He grabs the clocks and glances out of the port side windows. He did not see any water. He instead saw the edge of the earth. suddenly the clocks were not longer that important. "Uh, Tiamet, can fairies fly in outer space?"

Tiamet blinks some "Technically......why?" she tips her head looking worried not quite getting what he's getting at she makes a grab for the clock "make the time stop on them make it stop!"

 WldDog  hears the clocks release a spring as she shakes one of them. The ship lurches to a stop as the spring stand oddly the side of the clock.

Tiamet grabs for the clock that has the spring sticking out, intending to pull out the springs and cogs

WldDog slowly climbs to the deck and looks over the side. The ship was now sitting on the surface of the moon. He whispers: "Uh, Tiamet? You can find out if the moon is made of pie now."

One Dead Parrot

Today we have another role play example. Courtesy of those involved, who have asked that their names be changed. Remember there's no telling what kind of situation you may find when you enter Never Never Land, and there's always a different story waiting to be told. There's so much to explore and see. Don't take my word on it, go ahead and see.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Lily shivers and shudders at the sight of the sudden display and slapping noise as the patch smacks against his eyelid. "well what did you at least kill the bird for, make a nice pen with its feathers?"

Bootleg Barry grins as he tightens the rope around her petite little wrists as he wriggles the patch back into place and mutters "i ripped out the bloody birds feathers and threw 'em all overboard, then pulled out the thigh bones and tied together my shawl, and my boats, me had to make sure they didn't come untied....parrot bones seem to keep em in place with dee rope i use

Lily listens intently watching with a curious expression as he messes with the ties that bind her. "well that is good I guess to hear, a little terrifying for me to hear at the same time." looking  in each direction trying to avoid eye contact with his good eye. Nervously thinking of the many things he could probably do to her just as easily as he did to the bird.

Lily looks at him curiously "how did you lose your eye by the way"
Lily shifts looking away sheepishly not knowing if it is something not wanted to be talked about

Bootleg Barry pulls the eye patch out and lets it slap against his eyelids "eh..mah stupid parrot in me boat got me one fine day on dee water..."

Information about Never Never Land Roles

AKA How To Know Who You're Interacting With ^_^

When you join at Never Never Land, no matter which group you decide to join, you are simply a noob. There is nothing at all important about you in this role, you mean nothing to higher ranking persons. BUT You matter, because as a role player it's your responsibility to find a niche. THrough interacting with others on the sim you can find your place.

Noobs are often shunned because at this point because they have not proven to their group that they are in fact worth something. To rank up to the next level, from being a basic member of this group, you have to prove you want it. There are various ways to do this. Participation and being in theme are two good ways to do this. But there are some very specific things to keep in mind.

To prove that you want to be more than a noob you may want to do some of the following. You should be armed, and actually know how to use your weapon. You will want to contact a higher ranking member of this group and request to move up in rank. They may ask you to complete a task in order for you to earn the rank, but that's part of the fun in role play. Interacting with people and having fun in the process.

The Pirates Woodland Companian

 A special thank you to Natalie and Kieran for this wonderful role play example from Never Never Land. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I did. Keep in mind that each person you meet in Second Life has their own style, and their own ideas on how a story should go. Never expect things to go as planned. And above all else, have fun.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kieran Kelberry: The pirate brings down the girl at the edge of a pond and undresses his captive, slowly slipping off her camisk.

Natalie Wendel: pushes back at him while his hands grope over her pulling off her clothes.  She kicks and scratches at him but is unsuccessful in keeping her clothing on

Kieran Kelberry: Smiles at her feeble attempt not really sure if she is struggling.  He pulls her over to the nearby stream and tosses her into the water.

Natalie Wendel: As he places her in the water she rears her hand back and aims her flattened palm toward his cheek intending to slap him hard

Kieran Kelberry: takes the slap on his cheek and grabs her hair dunking her head in the water.
Kieran Kelberry: One
Kieran Kelberry: two
Kieran Kelberry: three
Kieran Kelberry: four
Kieran Kelberry: five.

Natalie Wendel: struggles under the water hands and feet flaying

Kieran Kelberry: pulls her up, desperate for air and says, "Are you going to slap me again?"

Natalie Wendel: gasps and rears back and spits at him

Kieran Kelberry: yanks her hair, dunking her head down again, this time counting to ten.

Natalie Wendel: again... she comes out flaying and spitting out water, choking and sputtering

Kieran Kelberry: growls at her, "That wasn't very nice."

Natalie Wendel: glares at him... muttering, "I would kill you if I could"

Kieran Kelberry: stares back at her, "Do it again and I might not let you up again."

Natalie Wendel: puts up a weaker attack.. trying to scratch and bite at him...  insolent and still not giving up

Kieran Kelberry: can't help but smile, "You are in no position to be threatening.   But, I have to hand it to you.  You've got guts."  He dunks her again before she can speak and after counting to ten pulls her up again.

Natalie Wendel tries to stop him but his hand, still on her hair jerks her down and soon she is under water again fighting to hold her breath

Natalie Wendel: comes up gasping, weak and barely moving

Kieran Kelberry: What is this getting you, girl?  A lung full of water? Is that what you want?

Natalie Wendel's eyes flare up ... and she sputters, "I will not give you my body willingly, hunter!"

Kieran Kelberry: We can do this the hard way then and he jumps into the pool straddling his captive.  Face to face he pushes her head below the water watching her face, seeing her terror as he hold her there.

Natalie Wendel: stares up at him... her anger changing quickly to fear.  Weak now to the point of exhaustion she cannot hold her breath and her face shows the terror he is looking for

Kieran Kelberry: the girl thrashes but he holds steady.

Natalie Wendel: Her fear turns to a pleading look of surrender, her slowing movements obviously desperate.

Kieran Kelberry: watches as she gulps and pulls her up.

Natalie Wendel: starts to black out.. her hands on his chest... begging him for mercy
Natalie Wendel: comes up and gasps deeply drinking in air while spitting out water, her hands still on his chest

 Kieran Kelberry: whispers to her, his face close to hers, "Does this please you girl, to be almost drowned for your insolence?

Natalie Wendel: looks away from him... she is still ornery.. but knows that he will hold her down again.. "no.. it doesn't," she says.. adding, "Sir" merely as an afterthought

Kieran Kelberry: We could be making sweet love but you choose to breath water. 

Natalie Wendel: looks up at him suddenly.. her eyes again flaming.  "I would be pinned down and entered like an animal, plundered and then stepped over as you stride away seeking another girl."

Kieran Kelberry: sees the fire in her eyes and douses it with another dunking.

Natalie Wendel: cries out, "You are no different than the others," just as her head goes under the water again.

Kieran Kelberry: Watches again for the terror in her eyes.

Natalie Wendel: soon gives in, struggling for air

Kieran Kelberry: Pulls her back out.

Natalie Wendel: heaves loudly... coughing .. her frame wrenched

Kieran Kelberry: See this will not end well for you if you allow it to end.
Kieran Kelberry: It is best that you submit to me.

Natalie Wendel: wheezes.. "Do whatever you wish... You are the captor."  Her voice is bitter and again.. she rears up, looking at him, "You may take my body but  i will NEVER submit myself"

Kieran Kelberry: dunks her down in the water this time pinning her head against the wall of the pool.

Natalie Wendel: groans as she goes down... weakened and aching from the water forced into her lungs.. her flaying appendages are not as strong and she soon is limp under the water

Kieran Kelberry: feels her go limp and brings her up.

Natalie Wendel: pinned down, barely conscious she feels him lifting her up and again.. coughs and spits... racking her body... looking like a drowned cat

Kieran Kelberry: pulls her limp body from the pool and hangs her head down over the side of the shore.

Natalie Wendel: wheezes and rasps out softly... "I will die first... "  She does not want to die but feels backed up against a wall.. her own stubborn spirit now her worst enemy

Kieran Kelberry: Laughs at the almost drown prey.  "Are you sure you still want to defy me?"

Natalie Wendel's coughs turn to sobs... tears mixing with water... she chokes out.. "Please... just kill me now, pirate," knowing that she cannot resist him any longer..

Kieran Kelberry: murmurs, "That is not my intent girls.  Dead you are nothing to me."

Natalie Wendel 's body sags.  She knows that he is more stubborn than she.  She had hoped he'd give up and suffice with a beating and leave her... but.. no.  She lies there stymied, unable to speak.

Kieran Kelberry: adds, "Alive you can be a pleasure for me.  I would not be so bad.... I promise.  I can be benevolent. I will feed you.  Clothe you. Keep you.  Freedom in this violent world is not all that great.

Natalie Wendel: moves her head to the side... "How can I pleasure you when I will not give into you"  A silence in their conversation lingers.. and .. she relents.. "I will do as you say.. but I can't promise to submit fully. "

Kieran Kelberry: 'I have the means to provide for you.'
Kieran Kelberry: Sits the girl up so he can see her better.

Natalie Wendel: steadies herself before him.. .looking at him with new eyes.. respect and fear mingled

Kieran Kelberry: "Now tell me why you cannot promise full submission."
Kieran Kelberry: Reaches into a small pouch and extracts a small piece of dried meat.
Kieran Kelberry: begins to chew.

Natalie Wendel: stares beyond him at the clouds in the sky.. "I will become nothing more than a dog.. tied to a stake... You will toss me a bone now and then.. and then beat me when you are drunk.  I know of pirates"... watches him eat with longing eyes

Kieran Kelberry: Smacks lips as he swallows the meat.
Kieran Kelberry: Sees the longing in her eyes.  Reaches for his pouch again.... another small hunk of meat is in his palm.

Natalie Wendel's mouth waters following the movement of his hands and jerks slightly as he smacks his lips... A different torture this is.. but just as effective

Kieran Kelberry: Holds out the hunk ... tempting her to grab it.  "What will you give for this girl?"

Natalie Wendel: hesitates.. her stomach growling.. her lips parted... she stares at him... not angry... but yearning... food.. she needs sustenance... she leans forward... her hand in the air... "Please... please sir"

Kieran Kelberry: pulls back just far enough so she cannot reach it.  "This comes with a price."

Natalie Wendel: groans almost inaudibly.... and stops... "what is the price then?," she whispers

Kieran Kelberry: "What if I told you you would never be hungry again if you submitted to me?  You could have the finest clothing, the best wines and fruits, cheeses.  I have the means to provide for you but, your submission must be complete."
Kieran Kelberry: Stands the girl up this time inspecting her every side.

Natalie Wendel: stops at the mention of clothes and pausing, looks him over... "Sir.. what if I said that I wanted to stand by you, not in silks but in a good strong camisk.  Thick against the winter cold.  I would carry your bow... hold your shot fowls... I am not a pampered girl.  I would want to be out ... "   she hesitates... "with you"

Kieran Kelberry: Strokes chin at the thought of a companion in the woods not a kept woman waiting at home.
Kieran Kelberry: "you make an interesting offer".... reaches in the pouch and hands her a chunk of meat.  "Tell me more."
Kieran Kelberry: eyes the naked girl before him.

Natalie Wendel: looks up into his face as he looks her over.. and takes the meat.. slowly reaching it to her moth where she savors the taste and chews slowly... "I am free like the wind.  I am of the earth and sky and water... not a house.  If you cage me I will die.  But if you let me be out with you... I will serve you." she knows she has probably said too much... but she speaks from the heart... and bows her head still chewing on the small piece of meat

Kieran Kelberry: "Would you give yourself unconditionally in the wood as a pleasure slave would do in my home?  It is a hard decision as you are very beautiful for a prey who would rather stay in the wood."

Natalie Wendel: breathes in deeply... knowing that she is taking a risk of infinite proportions and nods, "Yes.  I will give myself to you fully... and pleasure you in your home as well."  Her hand reaches up and she strokes her left nipple without even realizing what she is doing

Kieran Kelberry: Smiles.... "I will take your offer and you will be rewarded with food clothing and in time earned respect."

Kieran Kelberry: Tosses her another hunk of meat.  "Now kneel before me as a sign of your submission."

Natalie Wendel: lefts her head to meet his eyes and grabs at the meat.. popping it into her mouth and chewing slowly making soft sucking noises as she take the full taste o the food out.  At his command she hesitates first but... kneels

Kieran Kelberry: Smiles broadly at her acceptance and crouches before her.  He touches her chin and asks  " What do people call you prey?"

Natalie Wendel: feels more than naked before him.. but feels that her soul is now naked too... he crouches down in front of her and she is suddenly aware of this and blushes wanting to cover herself... but murmurs, "Natalie or Nat, Sir," her body shivering under his gaze

Kieran Kelberry: "Natalie... That is a pretty name.  I can think of nothing better to call you so I will call you Natalie."
Kieran Kelberry: "Now stand up."

Natalie Wendel: smiles for the first time at his words and slowly stands before him

Kieran Kelberry: turns on his heel and walks away pulling her along with chain.

Never Never Land Reopened!

Alright Runners and Role Players! It's time to celebrate! Never Never Land is re-opened as of today, having done some huge changes sim wise to enhance your experience. It's still a predator and prey scenario. With a beautiful setting. (I can't even begin to describe all the new areas that they've put in). So make sure you head over and check it out. There are 4 different groups that you can join, and a role for everybody. And you shouldn't be afraid to explore the grounds, there's more to see than ever before

Picture Courtesy Of Sweetrose Burner

Also, for those interested in meeting other players, and just outright fun, today is an All Out War event! The event should be getting underway around 6 pm SLT, so that people can register for the side that they want to be fighting for. You'll register as either a Lost Boy or a Pirate. The registration lasts until about 6:30 pm SLT to give people some wiggle room and to even out the sides.

This event should be held in 3 rounds. Pirates VS Lost Boys, Men VS Woman, and then Last one standing. Prizes for the event may involve but are not set or limited to outfits/weapons/cash or even a special title of who ever wins last one standing until the next AOW giving special privileges (to be discussed with the winner).  So here's hoping that you have a chance to stop in and enjoy the festivities!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ BASIC RULES FOR ALL OUT WAR~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
ALL OUT WAR!

Two days out of the month, the Pirates and Lost Boys will have an All Out War ("Raid" style). Wendy's Girls, Tinker Bell's Girls, and Tink's Pirates may join the Pirates or Lost Boys in the war. Anybody that doesn't wish to partake in the war may take shelter and watch from the Wreckage safe zone. During this war a few of the rules are null and void. Swords may be used, Bangerang Safe Zone and The Tavern are NOT safe, and your captor does NOT have to RP with you. Don't worry, Tinker Bell's Girls are still SAFE from sexual RP. ALSO, the floating castle will be off limits to those in the All Out War, but you may use any all all of the Tree Top Chase!

There may be 1-3 Wars in one day depending on how many people show up:
The 1st and 2nd All Out War will be Pirates Against Lost Boys. Capture as many people from the opposite team! (meter's will be marked) The 2nd All Out War will only be held if enough people show up. The 3rd All Out War will be a FREE FOR ALL! Capture as many people as you can for the ULTIMATE PRIZE!

How an All Out War Works:
1. Pick a side: Lost Boys or Pirates & move to the designated side of the sim. ((**Wreckage or Bangerang Safe Zone**)) Please set your meter title to say "PIRATE" or "LOST BOY" so everybody knows who's team you are on.

2. Once there is enough players (volunteers may be asked to switch sides to even out the groups) the war will begin & no other players may join either team. Guards will have a list of users playing, all late players will have to wait till the war is over or for the next war.

3. Capture as many people, both men and women, and from the other team, as you can. You don't need to bind your captives, a guard will teleport them to a holding cell.

4. Once there is only one user left hunting or the last two (or more) are from the same team, the war is over and the guards will tally up the score.

5. The group with the last man (or woman) standing will be the winning group and a group prize will be passed out. The winners from this group may also go back to the holding cells and choose ONE of their captives to RP with. Not sure who you captured? Just ask a guard. Also, the person with the MOST captives will win a Special Prize, which will be picked out prior to the war.

If you have any questions before, during or after the war, PLEASE ask a guard or owner!

Sim Review: Paradise on Eclipse at Ocean Pearl

I want to introduce all you lovely readers to a new sim opening.  The owners are two lovely people I would consider good friends, CrimsonSentinal and Marion (Beauty8000).  Paradise on Eclipse is a lovely, multifaceted sim for role play (and just fun) that the pair have spent a lot of time on - and it shows, in the good way!  The rules for this adult sim are simple: act like the considerate adults we are supposed to be; derezz pose balls when you are finished with them; please keep scripts below 100; donate, if you can, as the sim is a free-to-visit area; and a few items are group-only, which can be gained from the landing zone link or by asking Marion.  While not much to remember in the least, there is the added benefit that the landing zone will offer you the code of conduct, as well, helping keep what few things they ask of their visitors fresh in your mind.

When you land, you will be situated smack outside the maze, which is a lovely place to be, as it is pretty central to most of the sim, and has a quick list of the other locations and where they can be found.  Paradise is rather unique in that there are four completely unique areas to explore and visit - five, if you count the maze, which can use it's fair share of exploration.  There are wonderful scenes and secrets in the twists and turns, and just exploring can be a fun way to while away the time.  I found a painting scene that is beautifully situated for photograph and as a place to park your avi for some quiet contemplation.

Behind you when you land, you'll find the Beach House, a wonderful spot aimed at gathering.  There are all kinds of games and group activities - borrowable vehicles, arcades, bowling, a giant chess and domino set, a TV for group members, volleyball... It's aimed as a place to bring your friends, or your lover, and have a good time.  My personal recommendation is to pick out one of the outdoor furniture places, or one of the beach huts on the islands, turn your sun to sunset, and enjoy the view - it's absolutely gorgeous.

Off to the right of the Beach House, one can see some forested Mountains and a gorgeous waterfall - and then there are the hidden secrets here, as well.  The pond doubles as a spot for mermaids, along with the merquarium, with beautiful fish and ducks on the surface, and up at the top is both a gorgeous scenic view of the rest of the sim and a mini-pool.  Across the bridge is a picnic blanket perfect for cuddles, and the winding trek down to the forest below, with it's own hiking paths and tree-lined sitting areas.  Those with rezzable horses are actually INVITED to use them here, and there are hidden spots for romantic lovers near the small falls bridge.  For those who are more adventuresome (moi!), the mountains are not a hard climb, totally fun to run through, and give some wonderful views of the rest of the sim.

And now, I saved this for last, simply because I love them so!  For those willing to explore the maze, your prizes await, for my own personal favorites lay through that gateway.  First is the BDSM Village.  Now, I won't lie - there is a bit of a fear in me for this one, because I am not a blatant kind of girl, and it is very obvious as soon as you walk to the edge of town what kind of village this is.  The public play arena makes it hard to miss, as are the feeding areas and such for pony-girls.  However, the sheer beauty of the old-timey village helps me to forget that.  Between the maze exit and the village lay an archery range, and a treasure chest of gifts from the owners.  Inside the buildings are a blacksmiths forge, a tavern, and even a form of apothecary/surgery that I just love, just to name a few.  And yes, for those seeking play, there are fully-functioning pose balls all over the place: just clean up after yourselves!  This is a PERFECT spot for rp that the old fans of the village could love, though guys will have the new challenge of bringing their captive with them, or rping their way into her panties - er, heart.  I totally meant to say heart.  The bows here are meant for boards, not backsides!

At the top of the hill is an even better treat for BDSM fans - The Mansion.  This thing is filled with secrets from top to bottom, from the wonderful collection of artwork on every floor to the fully functioning dungeon in the basement - complete with the trap door hidden in the master's study, which is itself hidden behind the secret bookcase entrance.  Think of it as the added delights to fire your blood and twist your panties for getting through the maze.  Remember, this is through the Southern exit, then up the hillside steps! ;)

And while I know I'll have lost most of my readers at the description of the village, I saved my own personal favorite for last: The Enchanted Forest, through the maze's North exit.  For anyone who loves fantasy as much as this elf, this is the place you want to be!  Tree top carousels, an elven hut, a mermaid spot hidden inside a beautiful waterfall, a giant flower... this area is just gorgeous!  This spot invites rp, plus hanging out with friends - there is a fun trivia game in the hut, with all kinds of options for the questions.  One of the owners recommended to me the Grimm Brother's one, which tickles my fancy.  Most of all, my favorite thing for this location is photography!  All kinds of textures and colors, with the sunbeams and sparkles and fairies, that just lend a magical glow to your photos that make them almost look retouched - or a simple, gorgeous background through the elven hut windows, or one of the many benches and cushions, for those who just want a beautiful location and soft lighting.

/me ends gushing rant.  So, yes.  My personal take on Paradise on Eclipse.  Now, I won't lie - the areas are very distinct, which will separate people to some degree, but this can be good, too.  To my view, the Enchanted Forest and the Village invite more serious role playing consideration, the Mansion is definite hard-core for the sex games, with the village just below, the Mountain Forest is more lightweight and romantic, and the Beach House seems more general gathering - kind of an ooc spot in the midst of the role playing.  Now, that is just my take, and certainly not owner's rules!  Role play and OOC can and probably will be done everywhere, and there is a lot of chance for variety.  The other side is that the sim can sometimes lag-steal you and does take a while to load, simply because there is so much stuff.  It looks gorgeous and is dressed to the nines, but I highly recommend giving yourself plenty of load time for your first arrival, and then taking each area piece by piece as it loads - maybe break it into chunks for exploration, until everything is up and running, then go for the real fun.  Personally, the lag is not bad at all once it loads, and I think the beauty is well worth the wait.

Moreover, the sim has friendly owners, a lot of options, and the roleplay potential is incredible, catering to all tastes and levels, from medieval to fantasy to modern (the TV in the beach house lounge definitely invites lounge lizards of all styles).  With no meter, you can come in OOC and explore, or rp to your heart of any type - be a villain, a master, a slave, a free woman, an elf, a demon, a demicorn, a satyr: whatever you dream to be.  Just please note that, if you're going to be especially vicious, make such clear in OOC or such that this is role play, and respect rules others may set as to what they are comfortable with!  The sim is officially opening Friday the 7th, and the owners have set up a challenging hunt through the areas as a great way to greet visitors, to go along with other freebies to try out.  This girl recommends go, see the sights, take some pictures, try out what the sim has to offer - and say a kind hi and thanks to Marion and Crimson if you see them around.

Wild Hunt at the Kingdom

Review Written by Nykkee Resident

Ok, this is a game they play at the Kingdom of Pleasure that I think is pretty cool. I didn't understand it at first, but was glad to be there for it and having a chance to participate in it.

Now the day they had it the hunters and prey where pretty even as far as body's on the sim which doesn't happen often but for something like this it was nice change.

The name of the game is wild hunt. The point of the game is to see if the hunters can get all the prey on the sim naked......now the hunters would give chase and once he had one of the pray capped he would begin to strip her once her cloths/silks are off they had to release them and the prey till the end of the game had to stay naked .....

The small twist of the game is the hunters only have a small window of time to get all the prey naked. Once a member of the prey team is naked they are able to run around and help the other prey to keep from being capped. They are also able to hinder the hunters by shooting them and running between them and the prey they are trying to hunt....

When the time is up and the guards look around at all the prey if the hunters have gotten them all naked then they win ....if not the prey win.

now this was my first time playing this and the fact that it was pretty much even for hunters to prey made the game that much more fun and so everyone knows......*smiles big*the prey won that time.

talking with a few of the prey and very few of the hunters i was trying to get a feel for how others felt about the wild hunt event and some thoughts on it...truth be told in the amount of people i asked it was like pulling teeth no one had any real opinion  on the topic at all i wanted to show what others felt and heres what i got.

From the prey ~ I had a few tell me how much they liked it but the lag they said gets 10x's worse and that's one thing they didn't like about it now we all know that lag happens everywhere so that to me isn't a real topic. One girl told me" Carri Vaniva: would be nice if they had more... regularly" but others and I mean a lot of others haven't even seen the event, some being new or just on a different time zone and they're unable to make it. I had another girl I talked to say she also likes it. See a clip of our conversation below.

 "Marja Geesink: i like the wild hunt ,you don't have to role play but it is fun but not too often
 nykkee Resident: its something different for a change
 nykkee Resident: to pull everyone together just to have fun
  Marja Geesink: indeed and the best one seven they get captured  but not always btw
  nykkee Resident: ok
  nykkee Resident: how often do they hold the events?
 Marja Geesink: well i am European time ,so not often for me
 nykkee Resident: ahh ok
 nykkee Resident: but when your able too you try to make it if they have one?
 Marja Geesink: yes i do , guard or long time one of sl  lol"

As you can see from the small clip of this conversation  I had with this member of the prey group, most like it and wish to have it again, just as I thought. The hunters on the other hand they either didn't know what I was talking about or didn't care to talk to me about it. I got one that told me he liked the event but that was all ....man of many words *laughs*

Sim Review : Tank & Spank

Tank & Spank is a BDSM role play and capture sim. Tank&Spank is a term derived from old days of Taverns and huge tankards of Ale served by wenches and the joy men took in spanking those wenches. The idea of the sim is BDSM and D/s set in a rural medieval period. A time where men were strong and honor bound and those bound only by their own laws. The women were protected by some and ravaged by others.

The rules are very basic and a quick read. Women are wenches and men are Rogues. Mythical creatures can suddenly appear, and Honor and chivalry may clash in resulting duals. There would be a lot of lawlessness going on in this environment, and with this kind of role play the sim leaves peeps with all kinds of opportunities to grow in character. Wenches beware, the meter defaults at a full RP option, which means you are game to any Rogue that fancies you. But at Tank & Spank you can draw you bow on Him too! Any era weapon is game here, for men and for women.

 Wenches were often ruff and tough in those days. So be it here. There are areas of interest throughout the sim such as a dungeon, a Tavern, an ancient ruins and a ooc safe zone as well. Each area is equipped. RLV  users can find equipment about the sim that allow more control of those captives. Lets mention too the terrain is designed to allow any chase to take effort..

As for you Rogues, your skill with your weapon may be tested, but be assure, it is Men that will be the only winners in these capture games. Rogues take hold of their wenches with bindings and what happens next is your call. The stocks? make them serve you an Ale in a Tankard?...maybe take them to the ancient ruins and find out what spells are conjured.

The meter, built by the same maker of the Village meter with modifications that make role play easier without excessive interference of any staff. This meter features modes you can set that can be seen with just a sweep of you camera in any direction. Full RP= full capture and sexual play. Capture only=Just here for the chase, no rp. No Sexual RP= capture and roleplay with sexual restrictions honored.

Coffee Break Read ~By Lola~

I have been wandering down this road, it is a lane, there are tall trees on either side all the way down as far as the eye can see, the sunlight filters through them making the edges almost glow with a soft ambiance, the leaves look like transparent gold and some of the light spills onto the path, spreading it’s gold dust further still.  I wake up there as though I have woken from a dream, I can hear voices in the distance and also the thud of loud music very far away, I hear children playing, letting out shrieks of delight, the sound of parents whooping together loudly, the sounds of teenagers in a playful argument, cussing each other and rolling around in the grass like young puppies.  The air is warm and almost soulful and I take a few steps, hearing the gravel crunch under my feet.  Curiously I stop and look through the trees at a clearing in the density, there I see a small child sitting, she is alone, her dark hair is pulled up on top of her head, she is sitting with her tiny legs crossed, surrounded in longish grass and meadow flowers, in her lap sits a small stuffed toy and as I approach I see she is playing with the ears, lifting them up and down and cocking her head from side to side as though copying the movements of the toy rabbit.

  A branch breaks under my foot and it seem the loudest thing in the world, the little girl is startled and she looks at my quickly, her eyes narrowing for a second, then she looks down at her toy rabbit and I hear her say ‘Bunny is sick’
 I wonder for a second whether to get closer, I carefully take two or three steps ‘Oh?’ I say in a soft voice, the girl nodded without looking at me, I stepped closer,
 ‘What is wrong with him?’ i ask... she looked at me quickly and pouted ‘Bunny is a girl’ she held her up to me ‘Look!’ snapped the tiny girl.

 The rabbit was indeed sick, she had a huge rip down the centre of her chest, as if someone had taken a knife and ragged it down and the stuffing was half pulled out. I grimaced at sucked in my breath for a moment and sighed ‘Oh dear...how did that happen?’ the little girl was quiet for a second as she carried on playing with the ears, twisting them around and pulling them from side to side with her little fingers, she hummed for a second or so the stopped, going very still as though choosing her words carefully, she looked at me again, her eyes squinting in the half light
 ‘Can you fix her?’ she said

  The words seem to echo in my mind for a second, as if it stirred something inside me, my stomach turned slightly and I furrowed my brow, not enjoying the odd feeling, the wind blew gently against my arm, making the hairs stand up on end and it travelled up to the nape of my neck, I shivered slightly.

  The girl was still looking at me, a questioning look in her eyes, I moved towards her and crouched down next to her, looking down at her tiny thin fingers and I sighed ‘Hunny, why are here alone? Where are your parents?'

’The girl replied almost immediately ‘I don’t have any Mom or Dad’

 We went silent for a second, not an awkward silence, just something in between sorrow and questioning, how was this girl all alone here? She was soft like an angel, her voice was quiet and almost sad, yet still child like...I felt that feeling again inside me, like a feeling of loss.

I sat down in the grass, the little girl looked at me and smiled, her eyes turning into tiny rainbow shapes, they looked up to my hair ‘You’re hair is really pretty’ she giggled ‘I wish I had my hair pink...I really like pink it’s my favourite’ her voice was all tinklely and sweet a she laughed at her own words, I couldn’t help smiling ‘Why thank you little Miss’ I said with a laugh ‘Maybe one day when you grow up- you can have it pink too! ..But I’ll tell ya a secret...’ I took my voice down to a half whisper ‘People sometimes may think you’re a little crazy’ a did a goofy stern face at her and laughed as she burst out laughing, her little laughs echoing around the quiet forest.

After a few minutes of quiet, the little girl asked me my name, ‘My name is Lola’ I replied with a smile and I was shocked to discover that we shared the same name ‘So I will have to call you little Lola’ I laughed ‘Otherwise it could get confusing’ we agreed on that and I shook her tiny little hand, she smiled broadly and nodded her little head....

To be continued...

Role Play...Can it Push Boundaries?

I was recently in a conversation with an old friend in SL whom i hadn't seen for a while, we caught up over prim Starbucks & poor sipping animations in a diner on the New York sim, it was a nice hour or so and we mused over old times and past relationships, we laughed and joked and it was nice to have a connection with someone who held quite a bit of my history.  We soon shifted onto some of the contents of my picks in my profile, she had spotted during a nose that i had several picks relating to role play, she hummed and hared over quizzing me about it and finally i just said to her 'You think it's weird don't you'

She laughed and said no, she explained how she does not entirely understand it and wondered if its any different from the kind of antics you get up to in IM with a partner? 'No...well...yes, sort of' i said to her, It's different for everyone i'm guessing...but for me and many other people i know, it's that creative out let, it's a story unfolding and it can end in one chapter...or it can carry on for many, some even write whole books over the course of time with the same person...but when the story ends and you come out of character...that's it.
'So its a free and easy well for people to get laid guilt free then?' she snorts...i laughed at her bluntness, 'Its not always about sex' I tell her, plenty of people i know don't sexually RP, they may have some kind of romance or tease but like with real life, when things get too steamy there is always the word NO.
It would be arrogant of me to assume that all people who RP do it just for the sex, but such a large percentage do, not often for sinister reasons, but to have that fantasy, to be that gallant knight or that filthy pirate who chases the captains daughter as she flee's around the shipwreck, shrieking and trying to escape...when secretly hoping he catches her..oh and what if he also catches her sister who is hiding in the jungle? with all that rope he could quite easily tie then both up & they would be at his complete mercy!
My friend burst out laughing at this notion and suggested that i take her along to a carp sim one day...quickly adding that she was joking, as she is very happily partnered. So she then asked me...'What if feelings get involved?' Good question.
A friend who also RP's said to me that she is fed up of men assuming they were becoming romantically involved after they had got intimate during RP on a few occasions. I said, Well you just must be THAT GOOD! of course not too far from the truth as men seemed to fall all over her and she was merely interested only in creating stories with people. Were they right to get huffy? Mm not so sure...but on the other hand men and women have been sleeping together, no strings attached, since way back...and it has been the cause of so much drama...men sleeping with multiple women, women doing the same with men..people finding out...tears and tantrums...
So what if feelings DO get involved? Sometimes or often RP can be intense, fast, passionate,creative...i heard one session being described once as 'The whole room vanished and it was just me & him there, typing to each other like crazy...' It's like the first throws of love & passion, it can get your heart racing...so when its over?...do we just turn our feelings off? and what if then you know that its likely that person will be making some other persons heart thrash the next day, while you sit there and pout to yourself.
And what if it's one sided? YOU think it was amazing...out of this world...but the other person logs off and thinks..'Well that was aright i guess' i suppose we never know.
And then comes the big old question... Can we RP with close friends more than innocently?
A friend asked me straight up if i think that could affect our friendship...i was positive it would, not down to the fact i wasn't attracted to the person or cared about them, but because RP to me is fantasy, i can save those precious moments of being intimate with someone i like,and i mean REALLY like...remove myself and be with that person on a more whole level rather than it being the non consistent act of simple RP.  So to be so casual with a friend will in my opinion, push boundaries.
I have the utmost respect for the NSRP'ers, it's something that can be a bit of a taboo on the carp sims, looked down on a little and questioned, it's simple really, as humans we are not all the same, we have our own needs and desires and we act accordingly to those...i am often in awe of the non sexual male who keeps to his word & says 'Thank you...but no' to the ladies...although its rare...it does happen! It says to me, a strong person with respect for himself and women...or maybe just very shy! (laughs out loud)
So in conclusion, i think that RP in its many forms can push boundaries, depending on the person ...
I don't think it at all right or acceptable for a person to literally walk away or cut out a previous player, it's polite and respectful to be gracious to that person, understanding to any feelings they may have...treat other players as they treat you, RP is after all a huge community based on communication...
It's all supposed to be fun...but don't forget that we are all humans behind the words guys :)

Peace Out
