Cocoa, Cuddles, and Pirates

While I do know that the Never Never Land role play sim has been closed for a long while, I do still have some of the role play cards that were sent to me. I'm going to post a few of them over time in memory of the sim and the wonderful times that were had there. This particular clip of second life illustrates a few different things. It shows how two sets of people can rp in the same space effectively, as well as how different role play styles can work together. I think at times it's good to remember that ther is more than just one way to role play. So without further interruption, on to the rp.

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

Tiamet shouts "HELLO ANGUS HAI CUDDLES!"

Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď : greetings and salutations

Arjun Ethaniel waves, "Ahhoy newcomers."

Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď: not really new comers just been away

ღ ℭυďďℓєຣ Ƥøɳď ღ giggles.. "we were coming to have some boxing day bottled cheer with you Tiabug"

Arjun Ethaniel: I meant to the campfire, in retrospect to the morning

Tiamet murrs feeling the warmth of his words as his breath brushes her skin. She shivers as his lips brush her skin and her eyes narrow as she tips her head offering her neck with a sigh at his words. "Dancing? Men really find dancing so terrible?" looks over at Cuddles and giggles "You mean the Baileys Cream Cocoa?"

 Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď: ahhh I see

ღ ℭυďďℓєຣ Ƥøɳď ღ grins.. "Yup a big batch of *Special Cocoa* .. "with a touch of Kentucky home brew too hunny.. " she added in with a whisper

Arjun Ethaniel pushes her hair away from his path, and he begins to explore the sides of her throat, int the curls of her neck, and right up to her ear lobe. He takes the skin between his lips, sucking it once, " On the contrary, we love dancing. As much we love certain other things."

Tiamet snaps her fingers and Dipsy shows up at Cuddles Arm with mugs of spiked cocoa for her and Angus. Tia on the other hand tips her head some more, her breath catching slightly at Arjuns words "SO menfolk Like things besides fighting....they like dancing, and what else?" her words are soft and inquisitory as her mind is getting fuzzy around the edges.

ღ ℭυďďℓєຣ Ƥøɳď ღ smiles sweetly at her Angus as she slips a little Kentucky home brew in his mug of cocoa.. "Drink up my sweet Pirate, the cocoa with warm your bones"

Arjun Ethaniel "Gardening." He nods seriously against her skin, "Tea drinking," He nods again, now on her bare shoulder, "bawdy music, " He nods and goes down through her arm, kissing the inside of her elbow, and again, at the inside of her wrist, "To talk about big houses, and chariots, food, wine,: he lifts his hand off her belly, and sinks his teeth around her naval, "Lovemaking."

Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď Kisses Cuddles' nose and takes a sip "Mmmm this is very nice and warm"

Arjun Ethaniel: i'm off, take care everyone

Tiamet pouts a little "Be safe Arjun!"

Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď takes another sip

ღ ℭυďďℓєຣ Ƥøɳď ღ sips her cocoa slowly as she watches Angus... "Ready for a refill my love? "

Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď Hands her his cup "don't mind if I do"
Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď starts to feel a little drowsy

ღ ℭυďďℓєຣ Ƥøɳď ღ snaps her fingers for Dipsy "Dipsy more *special* Cocoa for my sweet pirate" giggles as she looks over to Tia..

Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď  takes the Coco from the elf

ღ ℭυďďℓєຣ Ƥøɳď ღ turns running a soft finger down his cheek.. and leaning in for a deep sweet kiss.. "mmm you taste of Cocoa my sweet Pirate" as she naughtily slips more home brew in his mug, a small smile on her lips

Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď Kisses her cheek and nibbles her ear then takes another sip

ღ ℭυďďℓєຣ Ƥøɳď ღ places her palm against his chest, leaning in nips his chin, "Drink up my Darling Pirate, the elf has much more"

Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď "you are in a playful mood my love"
Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď  Smiles

ღ ℭυďďℓєຣ Ƥøɳď ღ giggles. "Oh very playful my love... very" as she run her hand down his thigh

 Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď chuckles

ღ ℭυďďℓєຣ Ƥøɳď ღslips a touch more home brew in his mug with a mischievous smile as she leans in and nuzzles his neck, nibbling at his earlobe as a distraction. "and how is my sweet Pirate feeling?" she asked with a giggle...

Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď looks at her with a grin " A little sleepy but at the same time aroused "

ღ ℭυďďℓєຣ Ƥøɳď ღ purrs happily.. "sounds like a wonderful state.." she stifles a small giggle and *accidentally* spills some cocoa on his britches, she gasps " oh dear my love we should get out of the cold and get those pants off and cleaned up, Tia's house is just a stones throw away, shall we go there?"

Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď stretches " I think that is a good idea"

ღ ℭυďďℓєຣ Ƥøɳď ღ scampers to her feet, quirking an eyebrow at him to see how much of a stagger he might have.. giggling she asks " you gonna be ok to walk?"

Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď smirks " I think I may meed a riddle help there my dear " he slurred

ღ ℭυďďℓєຣ Ƥøɳď ღ grins mischievously, her plan near fruition..she takes his arm about her shoulder, "Come my sweet pirate, lets get over to Tia's snug little cottage and get those nasty wet trousers off you and get comfy"

Âɳgυຣ Ƥøɳď grins

ღ ℭυďďℓєຣ Ƥøɳď ღ giggles as she plots the wicked things she shall do to to her soon to be pants-less inebriated pirate as they walk away...

The Pirates & A Mer

 Patience grumbles "Stupid human girl" under her breath

Rue smiles and binds the wild lady. Kindly wrapping some rope around her wrists. "My darling one what was that you were swinging at me" hearing it grumble snaps at the leash bound to the bindings "pardon me? how am I the stupid one when it would appear I am holding the leash?"

Patience huffs "I only swing at you when you hit me with the sharp!.. I can see where they come from you know!"

Rue shouts over to her friend to come see what she has caught and stops mid shout and tugs on the leash pulling her along behin

Rue smiles up at Brick "what would you reckon I caught?"

Patience got pulled along, tugging hard at the leash as the woman drug her.. She looked at the man for a moment, a smile forming oh her lips "Well hello"

Brick smiles " you got some one wanted to be caught "

Rue looks over her shoulder and smirks then glances back to Brick. "caught, yes. But me....I would venture a NO" snickers

Patience looked at the man, her eyes roaming his body, what he might consider an interested look was in truth searching his body for shiny things. She smiled seeing the large gold circle on his kilt, her eyes lingering there for a moment before looking back at the woman

Brick looks back at the captured prey " what you searching for in me is nothing would be interesting for you " looks back her her scaley body , "you seem kinda inserting then mine

Patience averted her gaze from the woman, instead settling it back on the man, she had a natural dislike for human women and shooting at her did not help. She smiled to him "You are not hard to look at'

Rue catches her captives wondering eye at her friend. Smile and back up slowly inches away from his warm body and slightly slithers down and up his body before turning and smiles before stealing a kiss with a soft moan "is this what you are desiring" smile back at the captive

Patience bit her bottom lip, feigning a bit of jealousy as she watched. She did not know the man, and had no real desire for him, except for the possibility of using him to get her off the woman's leash. "Oh um.. yes" She figured to play on his ego

Brick gives the scaley women a glace over Rue shoulder and raises his eye brows wondering what she is um'ing about , thinking to himself if she had any plans

Rue perks a brow and looks coldly at her taps her chin and thinks of what be of best use of her capture. "hmm...you may fetch a pretty penny, I know pirates ❤ to all kinds of things to beings like you"

Patience wrinkled her nose at the idea "But they don't bathe!! " she whined

Brick turns around at her as he watchs the huge bird " well , probably the pirates you been with might have felt that way , not with his handsome pirate who you never came across"

 Brick humms at Rue's thought " that would be a good one I guess "

Patience looked at him, her hands flying to her hip together as they were bound to the leash "As if I'd been with them, I can smell them for miles!" She looked at the lady considering her options and a tear started slowly sliding down her cheek, she cried softly at first, a gut wrenching, heartbreaking sound that could tear at the soul

Rue reaches her other arm back puling Brick in close and turns her head to the side and breaths in deep, smelling with out fear of her nostrils being assaulted. "mmmm you do smell good"

Brick kisses Rue as she gets closer him to smell him " I do more then smelling good " winks and looks back at her asking " what about the dancing thought ".

Rue smiles blushingly and slightly shivers feeling the space between Brick and her close. shakes her head and looks up at the girl "yes how about dancing for us? I honestlly wouldnt dream of bringing any harm to you"

Patience 's cry grew louder, becoming a wail, its tone beckoning them to comfort her "I just wanna go homeee, won't you let me go home?"

Brick watches closely around as the bird goes ,spots a wingless fairy sneaking from back " looks like we got more spectators waiting on a dance "

Beth crouches upon the hill near the tree silenty observing the commotion below. Such strange creatures humans be. With quiet moves she lays her sword upon the ground at her feet close to where she could grasp it if needed while she pulled forth an arrow to grip within her right hand

Rue grits her teeth and tightens one shoulder nearly cringing at her wailing cries. "of course I will let you go home.......would you like us to escort you there?" grins almost wickedly at her

Patience nodded, bringing the bindings to her face to wipe her nose on the rag beneath as best she could, knowing if she got them underwater she would keep them there

Brick "awww's" at her as she starts cry louder , looks at his friend Rue not sure if we asked more then just a dance " looks back at the fairy lady ash she grips a arrow seems like she is ready to pounce ,keeps an eye on her

Beth keeps her bow down along with the arrow placed in the grass more as precaution. Her foot on the edge of her sword to flip it upwards into her hands should danger precipitate that she has cause to use the weapon. Her eyes glow like silver beams of moonlight as she watches with vivid curiousity as the children of man play with the fish. Her head tilts to the side as she wonders what game the fish is playing.

Rue tugs playfully at the leash pulling it away from her mouth. Sighs softly as she watches this mysterious creature grows a longing needful look in her eyes to return home. Feels her heart swell as if a rushing wave had crashed down on her heart as if it were rocks. Looks back to Brick and gives a puzzling look "what shall I do? Shall I release her an maybe pay for it. Or put her in a cage just above the water?"

Patience heard the woman's idea, and her skin nearly turned white, she shook her head no vigorously.. "No cage.. Please.. " she started wailing again and tugging on the bindings, trying to pull the leash from the woman's hands

Brick looks back at a Rue as she looks puzzled at him " not sure if she deserves to be freed , pauses for a moment "umm ah probably we can let her go and maybe make a deal for the next time "

Rue curls a wicked grin cuing in. "mmm so you are a mermaid turn land walker after all. Then here is what I will request of you for your freedom. Tis not much in return if you think about it. I will need for you to collect 16 pearls from the waters here and bring them to me." steps in close her nose touching her neck and takes in a deep breath "I know you scent as I know all scents and smells here on this island. If you do not bring me these pearls I shall hunt you down and lock you in a cage until uselessness or old age accepts the bars to cage I will make for you"

Patience looked at him with distrust, she had heard about pirates and their deals, never good. She stopped her crying and held her wrists out to Rue "I will dance.. Here.. I know I can not out run your sharps. I will not take the treasures of the deep and give them to humans, they are not yours"

Beth cocks her head curious as to why the fish is not using her song.. she looks like a siren but perhaps she is mistaken.

Rue slyly looks down glancing a small heh kind of look as she becomes reassured at being able to fool another mythical being. "you mean you will not steal from mother her precious gift?" smiles and with out a second thought releases her. Peering into her eyes and for a moment lets her eyes flicker a deep shade of blue only the depths have seen before looking away "I shall not forget this and I mean that lovingly"

Brick well "humms ah now this looks like the negotiator negotiating , looks back at the binds and looks at the scaley lady to remind her that she is still captured and has to do what is told or he guess the cages is ready for her

Patience smiled as the ropes were removed from her and began to dance

No Thimbles?

[00:48]  Arjun Ethaniel blinks
[00:48]  Tia Bell (tiamet) giggles
[00:48]  Arjun Ethaniel: well, well well, this is new
[00:49]  Tia Bell (tiamet) tips her head "why you say dat?"
[00:50]  Arjun Ethaniel shrugs, then grinning, "Just in effort to figure out what happened."
[00:50]  Tia Bell (tiamet) tips her head looking curious "Happened to what?"
[00:50]  Arjun Ethaniel points at you, "The last time we met you were, umm, less vertically challenged."
[00:51]  Tia Bell (tiamet) giggles "AH..... Well...not all of us stay the same as we generally appear to be <.< Depending on what am up to there are different ways to go about it you know..."
[00:53]  Arjun Ethaniel scratches his head, then admits, "No." A pause and then, "But, The look seem to carry on the same principles, it seems."
[00:53]  Tia Bell (tiamet) giggles and flits around him eye glimmering "we all have secrets."
[00:54]  Arjun Ethaniel tilts his head, ascending, "We all do. " He takes a step closer to pixie, "But some's are more intriguing than the rest."
[00:56]  Tia Bell (tiamet) flits a bit higher and a step or two back as he moves closer. "It all depends on the audience."
[00:57]  Arjun Ethaniel stops short as she moves away and up, he looks up following her, as the moon bathes the night with silvery hue, "Being myself one apparently, should I feel fortunate to be an audience?"
[00:58]  Tia Bell (tiamet) shakes her head "The whole island listens you know. Every secret, every instance, thrums through it's core." grins impishly. " We are merely keys in it's song."
[01:01]  Arjun Ethaniel "Perhaps." He shrugs, fully agreeing then, because in his spirit he had had felt that pull too, as every other Pan's boy do. He rephrases, "Of course. But he.... she... most definitely she is a detached deity. We may be the keys to her songs, or words in her poem. But what about our own? Our own songs, our own poems? If they are not for each other...then..." He shakes his head
[01:03]  Tia Bell (tiamet) flits in closer, her fett just grazing his shoulder as she leans in to whisper in his ear, giggling. "they are for all... it is not for ones own heart, but for every heart that one dances and makes the music that makes the world a beautiful place." she giggles running the fingertips of one small hand along his ear if he doesna move too quickly.
[01:07]  Arjun Ethaniel doesn't. He stands there, in complete and absolute lack of motion, and listens the to the word, of a pixie, of fae, of a dragon..in all of that, and beyond, a woman. He turns his head askew and says in the same hushed tone, "Human nature, dearest pixie. We always strive for what we can't have."
[01:09]  Tia Bell (tiamet) tips her head peering into the eye that's turned her way, a impish grin lighting her face. "AH, but we don't always want what the humans want, do we?" Her words lilt in a sing song manner, her hand moving to gently brush along his nose if he doesna move. "Besides, who decides what one can or cannot have? Generally we are limited only by our own fears."
[01:14]  Arjun Ethaniel again, he doesn't. Her hand brush lightly against his nose, and he is reminded, of abundance of summer, of plenty back in his home. He lifts his hand offering her a place to stand, he deduces that all that fluttering must get tiresome. He snorts, very shortly, "Fear is sanity. But even sanity is a hindrance in the route for absolution." he switches from one foot to the other, to repress call of the land in his own veins.
[01:17]  Tia Bell (tiamet) settles on his palm with a grin smoothing her garments to get any wrinkles off. She giggles at his snort, and wiggles her nose, hoping it wasna her dust making him do so. "But without fear, how do we know if there is happiness or not?" she spins on his palm, the bottoms of her feet warm as she runs them along his gloved palm.
[01:22]  Arjun Ethaniel takes a seat of his own on the railing behind him. "I am not advocating insanity. I am advocating the conquest of fear." He watches her twirl, and twist and run on his palm,, his breath hitch, " He smiles directly, "I am professing that to be an audience of this phenomenon brings me happiness."
[01:25]  Tia Bell (tiamet) giggles some as he leans on the railing, the movement sending a slight jolt along him that she feels through his palm even if he did not. She grins laughing. "We're all a bit mad you know.... they taught me all about it in wonderland." her voice lilts again and she smiles back at him, Before looking around the island. "True there are none so merry or blessed as those that are here in never never land."
[01:31]  Arjun Ethaniel eyes the castle looming over them a moment, like a bullock's neck it shades the sky with a stoney countenance, "I wouldn't know, I have never been to these other lands. The memory of my own itself, is vague, in fragments."But I have heard of your land." He smirks, " Trailing a finger of the other hand on the path she is taking, "Tell me about this mad hatter person. He sounds a man after my heart."
[01:33]  Tia Bell (tiamet) pauses looking at him with curiosity "My land?" she looks a wee bit confused but shrugs it off, her wings flipping as she grabs his wandering finger and tries to straighten his hand up on his palm to use as a dance partner. "The mad Hatter, is far from mad, in fact he is very wise. There are many things his mind can see, than a scholars can devise."
[01:37]  Arjun Ethaniel nods agreeably, "My mistake then. If the man has the respect of a pixie so wise, then he must be wise beyond any mages and wizards , or pirates I have come to know. And is it not your land, I presumed so when you said You were traits of madness back in there. I presumed you are of Wonderland." His eyes sparkle with brimming curiosity, "And what about the red queen, is she as evil as they say, and the white queen, is she as beautiful.. and white as they say?"
[01:40]  Tia Bell (tiamet) giggles and dances around using his thumb and pinkie for hands as he guides his hand in a waltz across his palm, bubbling laughter brimming from her. "Oh no! I am a story thief.... I travel the story realms to bring back artifacts to never land, so that the belief in their existence will help to keep never land vibrant and alive." Her eyes catch the curiosity in his eyes and she grins. "Aye she is just as evil, but is merely in her nature. The white queen....is beautiful... but not as lovely as our island."
[01:45]  Arjun Ethaniel it's almost like an innocent game, a game of hide and seek. Seeing her trudge along the veins of his hand in her own macabre dance, he realizes the land still ascertain at least some amount of innocence still, as does she, the self proclaimed, story thief, and as does he, who once was a boy and who is still lost. He looks at her with new respect, tilting his head, "So you are the one who keeps our land as she is. Vibrant and beautiful, and alive. Questionable tactics." He admits with a grin, "But highly effective. You wouldn't hear a complaint about a trick well done from a Pan's follower."
[01:49]  Tia Bell (tiamet) grins mischievously releasing his hand and walking up to his elbow and sitting there eyes studying his face if he doesna move to put her back on his hand. "Not I, I merely seek to bring what's needed.... We have green elixirs from oz, mushrooms and cookies, and a wee bit of drink me from wonderland....and a few other things....kept here safe and as far as we care, unknown. For they're believed in yet. That is what is important.." She flips her wings batting her eyelashes at him. "Ah but do ~YOU~ like to be tricked?" her tone teases playfully.
[01:55]  Arjun Ethaniel plops down to the floor of the deck, still accommodating her, and keeping an eye on her as trots her way to his elbow. Her tiny feet barely leaving an impression there. He says earnestly, "You bring balance in our land, after the shift of magic, you and those others keep neverland what it is, a place for uninhabited imagination. He gently, very very gently touches her cheek with the tip of his other thumb, "Thank you." But her next comment does get a curious, and weary look from him, "At times yes. Mostly though, I prefer to be an accomplish."
[01:59]  Tia Bell (tiamet) curls her fingertips tightly in the fabric of his coat as he sits, careful not to fall from the crook seat. She nuzzles his thumb letting out a giggle before trying to nip the pad of it. "No thanks needed... belief in magic is imperative to our existence... if there was none...what would happen to us?" She giggles some as he confesses to preferring to be an accomplice. "Well, than rather than being tricked, may I ask for a gift from you?" her words are merry and have a hopeful hue to them if they were colored they'd be bright as a spring rain rainbow.
[02:03]  Arjun Ethaniel lets her nip at his thumb, a laughter rolling out of him. he laughs, throwing his head back, his entire body shake with reverberating happiness. He takes his thumb back, kissing it himself, " I don't find fear in being forgotten. That is a very abstract concept for me these days. These days My survival becomes precedence. I don't have much pixie. None at all, it seems. But if it is something I can give, then it is yours."
[02:05]  Tia Bell (tiamet) shifts standing and stretching her arms up to his shoulder as she climbs as best she can, struggling slightly to get footholds in the fabric until she's perched on his shoulder (unless he stops her). She whispers softly "Do you have any marbles?"
[02:08]  Arjun Ethaniel with the corner of his eyes he watches her as he climbs up and up until she is perched on his shoulder, he blinks at her odd request, "What? Marbles? Like the ones we played with when we were boys?"
[02:09]  Tia Bell (tiamet) nods up and down "The pretty glass ones with things inside them, ja." She looks hopeful as she stands on his shoulder, one small hand curling into his hair in case he decides to move too quickly, so she can keep her balance.
[02:12]  Arjun Ethaniel thinks, and then shrugs, "I used to. One. As a remembrance of day's past. A siren managed to steal it, even if I later managed to deduce it and question her about it, the only thing she revealed that she gave it to one of her sisters." He frowns at her, "One of you." He grins wistfully at the memory, "Though I cant particularly complain. She was indeed a brave girl."
[02:14]  Tia Bell (tiamet) giggles and hrms,moving and carefully, trying to climb up onto the top of his head, her hands tug gently at his hair and her feet would tickle his ear as she used ti as a step up. "Shame... you should ask Pan to bring more back to de island....it is no good for lost boys not to have any marbles." if she makes it to the top of his head she would sit there a moment.
[02:19]  Arjun Ethaniel for the first time he tries to stop her, reaching up, and gently trying to pluck her from his head and back on his palm, "You know," He says thoughtfully, "The only time she could have stolen it was when I was at the water and she was still on the deck. And then she discarded her clothes to jump in." He taps his chin, trying to connect dots, "So logically she would have to transfer it to someone else in between that time. " He peers down at her, raising an eyebrow, "Dearest pixie, do you have something to say for yourself?" The candle has finally lit
[02:22]  Tia Bell (tiamet) wriggles some as he tugs her from her climbing adventure but she doesna pull his hair too much letting go and sitting in his palm. She tips her head listening to him speak, an innocent air to her position as she sits on his palm. Her wings flip some. "What would I have to say?" her tone is curious and her eyes widen in surprise at his words. "You think I have something to do with it?"
[02:27]  Arjun Ethaniel winces at the slight pain as she pulls on his hair before letting go. Her answer, coming from apparently oh so innocent source should have satisfied him, if he didn't know what she is. She is beautiful, no doubt, and to be an audience of that beauty is enriching. But she is as mischievous as her kind comes. He almost pokes her nose, and but stops short considering the sheer difference between their size and what unwelcome horrible thing might just come from that. Instead, curling his finger behind her, he blows lightly on to her, making sure she doesn't fall off his palm. " You were the only one around there at the time that she could give it to. Don't lie now, pixie."
[02:29]  Tia Bell (tiamet) falls back against his fingertips as he blows on her, a worried cloud flickering across her face. "I am not lying. I do not know what you think I have done!" Her tone is plaintive and her lips purse into a pout as she shifts crouching on his palm.
[02:33]  Arjun Ethaniel sighs, rolling his his eyes, "Oh please, don't do that.. I can see through the sad faces. " he leans forward, and winks, "And anyway, I did promise you to give anything you wish for didnt i? If it was under my ability." And that marble, " He clears his throat, "I can give you. So there, pixie, you can have my marble."
[02:39]  Tia Bell (tiamet) tips her head and pats his palm before holding her hands out making grabby motions. "Huzzah! You're giving me a marble! Can I have it now then?" Her eyes go HUGE as she holds her hands palm up towards him waiting for the marble to be put in them.
[02:41]  Arjun Ethaniel sighs, so that didn't work. apparently even the exoneration from all the guilt wasn't enough to lure her to the trap, to make her at least confess of being the mastermind of such complex crime. he tilts his head, "Well played."
[02:43]  Tia Bell (tiamet) pouts and stomps one little foot on his palm making grabby hands some more. "You said I could have a marble!!!! Where is my marble?" Her tone lilts but is tinted with annoyance and her lips purse into a pout as she waits for the promised prize.
[02:46]  Arjun Ethaniel looks around, wincing at her voice, who knew such a small creature can compose out... THAT. He considers then gives her the only thing he could give, if she wants to play it this way then very well. He says, "That particular marble is at a keep sake to a fairy of this land. If you can manage to find her and compel her to give it to you, then it's yours"
[02:48]  Tia Bell (tiamet) hops up and down on his palm and whines unhappily "But you said you would give it to me NOW!" Her face is unhappy and her wings stretch out as she glowers at him, her bottom lip quivering in frustration. "I dun want one from someone else, you said I could have it from you!"
[02:51]  Arjun Ethaniel "No wait, right there, I dun recall mentioning any now, or you can have it from me. all i said if it's mine to give then its yours." He taps at her flowing hair, "I cant give you what I cant have. I can only give you the permission to have it if and when you do manage to get it." He smiles down at her charmingly."
[02:52]  Tia Bell (tiamet) glowers some and eyes him feeling him patronizingly tapping on her. SHe crosses her arms and huffs. "Then I want a thimble!"
[02:55]  Arjun Ethaniel shakes his head offering a placating gesture with free hand, "I am afraid I don't have it." He nods at her, "Can I offer something else?"
[02:57]  Tia Bell (tiamet) pouts at him some more looking at his face, knowing full well he has plenty of thimbles he just has no intention of sharing them with her. She pouts some more her bottom lip quivering as the corners of her eyes tilt down, big soggy tears dripping down her cheeks. "You have no thimbles at all?"
[02:57]  Arjun Ethaniel shakes his head quickly, "None whatsoever."
[02:59]  Tia Bell (tiamet) flops down on his palm and sobs big wet soggy tears. "How Terrible!!!! No thimbles!"
[03:00]  Arjun Ethaniel reaches forward, catching one big (respectively) tear on his finger, "Instead of thimbles would it it be such a shame if I offer a poem I learn a while ago, back in my childhood? You being the story thief, would you like that?"
[03:02]  Tia Bell (tiamet) sniffles some and wipes her nose on the back of her hand eying him, Sniffling she nods her head once. "Ja, dat...would be...acceptable." she huffs and snuffles trying to regain her composure.
[03:03]  Arjun Ethaniel nods, sighing in relief, though he very well knows that all that tears are just show, but he would rather prefer not having a shouting pixie on his palm, thank you very much. he gently puts her down on his lap, leaning back, and diving back into memory
[03:05]  Tia Bell (tiamet) shifts around on his lap until she is comfortable, her head resting on his tummy, and feeling the rise and fall of his form as he breathes. She sniffles some and grabs the corner of his shirt tugging it and blowing her nose on it before wiping her face on another spot.
[03:07]  Arjun Ethaniel with closed eyes, he says, "It is a song really, an imprint of a memory . A man's memory of his beloved. The one he call Banalata Sen.
[03:07]  Arjun Ethaniel recites,
[03:07]  Arjun Ethaniel: "Long I have been a wanderer of this world,
[03:07]  Arjun Ethaniel: Many a night,
[03:08]  Arjun Ethaniel: My route lay across the sea of Ceylon somewhat winding to
The seas of Malaya.
I was in the dim world of Bimbisar and Asok, and further off
In the mistiness of Vidarbha.
[03:08]  Arjun Ethaniel: I am a weary heart surrounded by life's frothy ocean.
To me she gave a moment's peace-Banalata Sen from Natore.
[03:08]  Tia Bell (tiamet) listens snuggling in, her head tipping as she hears the interesting names of places far away from neverland, far away on the mainland.
[03:09]  Arjun Ethaniel: Her hair was like an ancient darkling night in Vidisa,
[03:09]  Arjun Ethaniel: Her face, the craftsmanship of Sravasti.
[03:09]  Arjun Ethaniel: As the helmsman,
His rudder broken, far out upon the sea adrift,
Sees the grass-green land of a cinnamon isle, just so
Through darkness I saw her. Said she, "Where have you been so long?"
And raised her bird's-nest-like eyes-Banalata Sen from Natore.
[03:10]  Arjun Ethaniel: At day's end, like hush of dew
Comes evening. A hawk wipes the scent of sunlight from its wings.
When earth's colors fade and some pale design is sketched,
Then glimmering fireflies paint in the story.
[03:11]  Arjun Ethaniel: All birds come home, all rivers, all of this life's tasks finished.
only darkness remains, as I sit there face to face with Banalata Sen.
[03:12]  Tia Bell (tiamet) tips her head curious, and wondering what became of de Banalata Sen, wonders what comes next.
[03:12]  Arjun Ethaniel opens his eyes, "That's it"
[03:12]  Tia Bell (tiamet) shifts some "what happened to her?"
[03:13]  Arjun Ethaniel shrugs, "I do not know. Or to him for that matter. Perhaps they lived a happily ever after, or perhaps not."
[03:14]  Arjun Ethaniel cocks his head looking at her, "Would that suffice, my lady pixie?"
[03:14]  Tia Bell (tiamet) pouts a little. "It doesna have an ending then. That is quite peculiar." SHe peers up at him and pouts. "What would you have happen to them?
[03:16]  Arjun Ethaniel: "Me?" He smiles, "I like it as it is. It tells their journey will continue forth, To where, and to when, who knows. Perhaps she and him are here in neverland."
[03:17]  Tia Bell (tiamet) hrmmms and shakes her head "I ahvena met anyone by dat name... though folks do tend to hide behind different ones." pouts some anyway, because he still gave the story no closer. She shifts some anxious. "When will you get a marble or a thimble?"
[03:20]  Arjun Ethaniel "For the first," I am not sure, as for the second, he tilts his head at her, "I would say whenever you wish to."
[03:21]  Tia Bell (tiamet) grumbles some sitting back down crossing her arms and scrunching against him with a pouty sound. "But you already told me you don't have any!"
[03:22]  Arjun Ethaniel nods vigorously, "Not yet at least." he points at her, "The moment you give it to me, I will."
[03:24]  Tia Bell (tiamet) shifts some looking suspicious, "But that is me giving you one! I wants one from you!"
[03:25]  Arjun Ethaniel follows her with his eyes, "And I will give it back, two folds." He salutes, "Lost boy's honor."
[03:26]  Tia Bell (tiamet) shifts and stands in his lap looking up at him. "You promise?"
[03:27]  Arjun Ethaniel crosses his heart wordlessly
[03:30]  Tia Bell (tiamet) giggles and tries to climb up his shirt if he will let her, though it would be easier if he would give her a hand up.
[03:32]  Arjun Ethaniel "allow me." he says softly as he places his palm before her, if she climbs up, he would bring her to before his face.
[03:33]  Tia Bell (tiamet) giggles and shifts her feet trying not to fall off his palm. She pouts a little bit, eyes opening wide before she giggles. "Just a thimble, ja?"
[03:34]  Arjun Ethaniel smiles heartily, "Just one."
[03:39]  Tia Bell (tiamet) stretches on her tip toes, hands resting against his cheeks so she doesna fall. Giggling some she brushes her lips featherlight across the end of his nose, eyes closed as she does, the tips of her ears glowing pink as she blushes a bit.
[03:44]  Arjun Ethaniel feels as the stars shooting within his mind, his eyes open wide, as he never knew what a thimble was. So this is it then. This is the thimble. His mouth quirks up almost painfully. If her eyes her still closed, he brings her down, just so, and plants a kiss on her temple.
[03:47]  Tia Bell (tiamet) blushes from head to toe, a vibrant pink shade before opening her eyes and giggling, scrunching down into his palm shyly after feeling the soft brush of his lips against her temple. Giggle.
[03:49]  Arjun Ethaniel thanks the moon and stars inwardly, a giggling pixie is infinite better than a wailing one, in every single aspect that count and that don't. He reaches outwards as if letting her fly up, with a stupid grin in his face.
[03:51]  Tia Bell (tiamet) giggles and hops off his hand and hovers there a bit. "Dankies for de thimble, and de story, and I will be waiting for my marble ^_^." giggles and flits off.
[03:52]  Arjun Ethaniel chuckles as she flutters off, and shaking his head he falls back to dreamland

Been There, Done That

 [18:12]  Sokanon: YAY!

[18:12]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): giggle
[18:13]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): awe

[18:13]  Sokanon: We both got a captive!

[18:13]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): pouts

[18:13]  Tia Bell (tiamet) hops up floating off the ground as crows like Peter Pan
[18:13]  Tia Bell (tiamet): Now
[18:13]  Tia Bell (tiamet): chores!
[18:13]  Tia Bell (tiamet): Come come we make dem clean in de castle

[18:15]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): or dust

((The captives, Sylvr and Stevon, are dragged to the castle by Tia and Sokanon))

[18:15]  Tia Bell (tiamet): NOw we has your attentions

[18:15]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): hmmmmm

[18:15]  Tia Bell (tiamet): you wanna be's free? *teasing tone*

[18:15]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): yeps

[18:15]  Tia Bell (tiamet) giggles "Can has a kiss?" holds out hand

[18:16]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): grins course
[18:16]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): kisses Tia's hand
[18:16]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): and then slurps it
[18:16]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): making it clean

[18:16]  Sokanon looks at her captive, remembering Tia's thimble earlier and rolling the snowball in my hands, wondering if he can see my thoughts...

[18:16]  Tia Bell (tiamet) squeals and rubs it on her pants giggling "Ewwwwww okies dat works."

[18:17]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): goodies you can cap me any day

[18:17]  Tia Bell (tiamet) swats at Pan "stop dat you lil blighter!"

[18:17]  XxStevonxX: a penny fer yer thoughts

[18:18]  Tia Bell (tiamet) slobbers on Sylvr

[18:18]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): course.... fairs is fair

[18:18]  Sokanon blinks, looking at him, eyes going wide, then rolls my eyes toward Tia with a faint look of panic, a faint "mreeeep," sound rolling from my throat

[18:20]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): Yesh
[18:21]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): whatchya gioin to make Steve do
[18:21]  Sylvr (sylvrravyn): dances around on the table top

[18:22]  Sokanon hrms softly. "He just issued me a dare... said he'd been there and done that with being drug through the water. I'm going to prove him otherwise." Turning almost imperiously, I tug at his ropes. "Come, come..."

[18:23]  Tia Bell (tiamet) giggle giggle giggle

((Soka drags Stevon to the water, Tiamet following))

[18:25]  Sokanon pauses, looking at the water, breathing deeply, then tosses my head with a royal cant, eyes narrowing, eying him. My hands raise, sparkling, eyes gleaming as they reach above my head.... and then slowly lower before me. Every weapon, ever rope, falls slowly to the ground to lay at your feet, leaving just your clothing. I breath deeply, eyes challenging, then get an impish smile. "Do you prefer those clothes or not?"

[18:31]  XxStevonxX: i prefer to keep my clothes on
[18:31]  XxStevonxX: i would let my clothes loose if my hands were free
[18:32]  XxStevonxX: as i grab at her clothes,
[18:32]  XxStevonxX: yanking at the tunic

[18:33]  Sokanon grins a little, nodding my head and shaking my hood back after, smiling. "No." My hands raise again, stopping at my chest as my eyes begin to glow faintly, then close, faint light seeping from beneath the lids. The glow around my hands increase as they lower before me... wings disappearing in a faint shimmer of light, ignoring the grabbing of his hands other than to brush them away with surprising strength in mine. The tunic stays, but slowly my pants disappear, boots falling from my feet to lay in grass. Only as the partial transformation is complete do my eyes open, assessingly watching him

((Soka transforms to a mermaid from the waist down))

[18:35]  XxStevonxX: confused and amazed at the disappearing pants and boots, i cower down in surprise

[18:42]  Sokanon breaths deeply, feeling a bit at odds in a partial transformation, then humming softly, getting used to the scaled tail with my fae mein. My eyes gleam, using my tail to scoot the pile of items over toward Tia, then rolling into the stream, the salmon easily jumping around me, voice lowering to a purring taunt. "Still going with been there, done that with being drug through the water?"

[18:47]  XxStevonxX: mmm no, never been here, or done this. quite curious and antcipating the next thing, cautiously

[18:49]  Sokanon smiles, tying the rope securely to my waist, then cautions him. "Take a deep breath, and do not panic. I will not let you come to harm..." That said, I start off into the water, head awkwardly raised until I hear the breath, then plunging under, quickening, and towing him behind me

[18:49]  XxStevonxX: breathes deeply
[18:50]  XxStevonxX: enjoying the view
[18:51]  XxStevonxX: gurgle

[18:52]  Sokanon makes a low, thrumming, reassuring hum, twisting to look over my shoulder now and then, giving you a reassuring smile. Hearing your gurgle, I pick up speed, rushing through the gate and dragging you faster. Only when I reach under the castle do I turn, slowly wrapping my arms around you, lips moving to yours with a gentle pressure, encouraging your mouth to open under mine

[18:54]  XxStevonxX: i open my mouth , my pulling you close to me, mouth closing on yours
[18:56]  XxStevonxX: my arms wrap around her,

[18:57]  Sokanon hums, lips parting, head tipping to keep water from entering your mouth, tongue gently slipping across yours... and then my lungs sucking gently, drinking the carbon dioxide from your lungs, bubbles appearing from my necklike as my gills release it into my tunic, taking out the waste... and then breathing deeply, forcing clean oxygen back into you with careful pressure, watching for signs of giving you too much, sinking into your arms, against your chest, as you press me close, hands gentle on your back, reassuring, trying to get you to remember my promise

[19:00]  XxStevonxX: relaxes as i feel the welcome oxygen fill my lungs. the panic subsiding, the need to struggle easing. becoming comfortable, remembering the promise that no harm would come to me. beginning to feel the warmth of her

[19:02]  Sokanon smiles, lips gently closing, urging yours to do the same, then pulls back to smile at you. My arms squeeze.... and then shift, body tilting, strong pushes of my tail propelling us through the water in a dance, lips coming back to yours every so often, again sucking the carbon from your lungs, then slowly pressing in more air

[19:06]  XxStevonxX: gurgles more often, so she will touch my lips more often... enjoying the taste of her, enjoying the feel of her, appreciating the breathes of oxygen, keeping me alive, keeping me feeling, keeping me in her arms, looking into her eyes ignoring the beautiful surroundings because , despite being in a sea, gazes into the sea of her eyes

[19:12]  Sokanon grows a little confused, wondering if the strain was getting to him, or a silent panic lessening his ability to breath effectively. Very slowly, I ease the dance, taking a few deep breaths, then leaning forward again. This time, with a faint blush, I close my eyes and send my tongue on a foray, tasting, learning, teasing around your tongue and the roof of your mouth, then suck the air out after before breathing in a larger mouthful, filling your lungs with a slightly impish smile. Pulling back, I push off, turning and zipping through the water with incredible speed, whizzing back toward the way we came with insane speed, just controlled enough to keep you from being bashed into anything.

[19:17]  XxStevonxX: feeling the incredible strength she possesses, amazed at the speed and ease, unsure of what lies, ahead,but trusting now that she will not harm, i enjoy the ride

[19:20]  Sokanon reaches the shore, emerging drenched and gleaming, making a small choking noise before remembering to switch from gills to nose, coughing faintly and moving my hair out of my face. I tug you to shore, then unbind you, looking at your possessions, then making a disgruntled noise and sitting on the shore, hugging my tail. "We will need to find my sister. She seems to have pilfered a few things..."

[19:21]  XxStevonxX: oh my, well lets find her. your skills amaze and astound me.

[19:25]  Sokanon nods, then shifts, hands shifting, raising again, reforming my legs and wings, though still dripping wet... except for suspiciously dry pant legs. I reach for my boots, stuffing my feet in, then gesture at your items. "There is what is left. It looks like she took every weapon you had..."

((The two wander off after Tiamet))

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..."

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*

The Swan and The Moon ( RP)

[03:11 PM]  Dread Lord Dragoon(dragoondarkwolf): i'd like to hear a story as you spin flax for me.

Tiamet giggles "any story at all?"

Dread Lord Dragoon: know any good ones?

Tiamet nods "aye i do."

Dread Lord Dragoon: good, then come along.
Dread Lord Dragoon: pulls on the rope as he drags her back to the castle, taking his sweet revenge.
Dread Lord Dragoon(dragoondarkwolf): they enter the castle as he smirks and chuckles, leading her inside and up the main set of stairs to the tailors shop. he walks her over to the wheel and turns "you will take that bushel of flax and turn it into thread, my dear". he smirks as he lowers his hand, pointing to the seat.

Tiamet sits down at the stool, reaching into the flax basket, and carefully starting to twist the strands together, her foot gently pressing the peddle to get the wheel turning so that it will make sure the flaxen thread is smooth and even. She nods "fair enough." She watches as the thread wraps around the spindle as it turns. "is that all?" her tone is amused as her hand reaches for more flax, easily working the flax into thread with a practiced hand.

Dread Lord Dragoon: he watches her closely as she begins to work the flax, listening. he replies, no, i'd like to hear a story, tell me a good one". he turns, seeing the chair in the corner as he makes his way over to it and sits down, making himself comfortable as he keeps a close eye on her.

Tiamet twists the flax between her fingers, pulling out small thorns and twigs as she works it onto the wheel. Her eyes ponder a moment looking at the wall. She then lets her eyes move towards his though they're hidden by the glasses. "Do you know the tale of the swan and the moon?" her words lilt as she moves her foot, the wheel clicking cheerfully as she spins.

Dread Lord Dragoon: he listens and thinks for a moment, slightly tilting his head and replies "i haven't". he sits back further into the chair shifting his eyes to the wheel for a moment, watching it spin before putting them back on her hands as she works the flax in them.

Tiamet reaches into the basket taking another handful of flax, twisting it between her fingers, continuing to clean it as she presses the peddle."T'was many moons ago, when the animals could still speak and sing in languages the people could understand." She starts the story her voice mellow and almost sing songy as she spins the thread. "Swan was known to be the most beautiful bird in the forest. And he took the title as his given right, believing that anything he desired he could have." She pauses pricking her finger on a thorn. She brings her thumb to her mouth tugging it loose, spitting the thorn to the floor as she continues twisting the flax and letting it drift along the wheel. "And the other animals did grant him that right. Swan had anything he wanted. But one thing, swan could not find love."

Dread Lord Dragoon: he listens to the story, watching as she pricks her thumb and spits the thorn to the ground. he slowly raises his hand to his chin, resting it on his fingers as his elbow leans into the arm of the chair. he tilts his body and continues listening as he wonders why a bird that could have anything it wanted couldn't have love.

Tiamet reaches for more flax twisting it between her fingers. "Swan was haughty, and as he believed he could have anything he wanted, he could not truly see that which was before and around him.So though goose, and she swan both adored him, he could not see it. Instead he lamented as the other animals celebrated the solstice together, reveling in their primal needs and desires. As he sat at the edge of the ring, the firelight flickering as the sun lowered behind him, he saw the pale white orb of the moon rising on the horizon. His heart skipped a beat, and it was as though he saw her for the first time, the goddess of the evening sky." She pauses her peddling to reach for more flax, checking the spindle to make sure it is not too full. "It was then that swan fell in love."

Dread Lord Dragoon: he lowers his hand from his chin and rests it back on the arm of the chair as he continues listening. he pulls himself forward and lifts his head, trying to catch a glimpse inside the bushel to see how much flax remains before easing himself back in the chair. he begins to wonder if this is some kind of childrens fairy tale but, he listens in silence as she continues.

Tiamet reaches in the basket again, pulling out more flax, spinning it in her fingers as she clears it and works it onto the wheel. "Swan followed her that night, and every night for weeks, lamenting on the evenings when she hid in the shadows, denying him her beauty. Swan sang sadly on the evenings that moon did not appear in the sky, and the other animals slowly came to pity him. For unrequited love is the worst kind of love to fall into." She finds another thorn, hissing slightly as it is unexpected. She tugs it out of her thumb quickly spitting it to the floor with a slightly irritated air. "The animals thought it was a shame that the handsome swan could not see what was befor ehim, and instead poured his song and desire into something he could not have."

Dread Lord Dragoon: he leans back further into the chair, paying no mind to her hiss as another thorn pricks her. he lifts his foot and rests his ankle on his knee as his arms relax on the arm rest, slowly leaning his head back in the chair, knowing that should he drift off, she could not see his eyes.

Tiamet reaches into the basket, frowning slightly as she realizes that the flax is almost spent. She slowly cleans the handful, twisting it between her fingers and letting it move along the wheel as she continues her story. "Then one evening as swan flew, following the moon in his blind desire and adoration, he passed over a pond, spotting the moon in the murky waters below. A frantic pang jolted through him, and he paused in his flight. His view was obscured by his desire and panic, he didn't remember that the moon was above him." She spun more flax, her eyes glancing over to look at him as she pauses.

Dread Lord Dragoon): he rests in the chair, motionless except for his chest moving as he breathes.

Tiamet spins and peddles her foot on the wheel, listening to the soft clicking as she reaches in the basket pulling out the last bits of flax. Spinning and letting the twigs and thorns fall to the floor. She finishes spinning the flax as she slowly settles back on the stool. "Swan threw himself into the water, determined to save the moon from the waters. But the moon hung in the sky, unmoved by his panic and adoration. Swan dove and struggled in the water, eventually drowning himself in the murky cold water." She checks the spindle as the thread goes onto it. "And moon continued drifting through the sky." She rests her hands on her knees. "The other animals mourned the loss of swan, but his love, was seen as having been fool hearty and they did not pity him in his death."

Dread Lord Dragoon(dragoondarkwolf): he hears the end of the story and leans his head forward. he clears his throat before speaking and says "are you nearly finished?". he pulls himself forward and pushes himself up and from the chair as he stands in front of it, looking down at her and shifting his eyes to the bushel.

Tiamet nods lifting the empty basket and showing him the bottom.

Dread Lord Dragoon: seeing the basket empty, he slowly approaches her, shifting his eyes back to her as he says "you may put the bushel down and stand".

Tiamet sets the basket down and stands keeping herself on the opposite side of the wheel. One of her hands brushes the spun thread musingly.

Dread Lord Dragoon: he stares at her for a moment and then turns his head to the spindles of thread, he brings his eyes back to her and says "you will come out from behind the wheel and stand in front of me".

Tiamet frowns a bit moving around the wheel her hands folded in front of her as she pauses in front of him. "yes?"

Dread Lord Dragoon: he shows no expression at all as she stands in front of him. he reaches his hand to his side and slowly pulls back his jacket, feeling the handle of his knife he takes hold of it, pulling it from its sheath as he lowers his head, putting his eyes on her binds as he reaches his other hand for them and pulls them toward him as he runs the blade between them, pulling back on it as he slices through them, letting them drop to the floor. he slowly raises his head, keeping the no expression look as he brings the knife back to his side and re-sheaths it and says "with the thread made, you are free. your story was interesting, perhaps you can tell me another one should our paths cross again".

[04:17 PM]  Tiamet bounces gleefully "thank you. and perhaps....i know many stories...."

Sim Review : Kingdom of Pleasure

KINGDOM OF PLEASURE CARP RP SIM
Review by Nykkee Resident

 First let me start off by saying the lay out of this sim isn't what I thought it would be....its smaller than one would think BUT.....they made the land that they had work for them. They put a mountain on the sim with some smaller ones so it makes it seem like more they have there castle in the sky which also worked out good for them over all. I think they way they have set it up here is good.....very easy to run through ....I also like how they have spikes threw out the sim so not only the prey but the hunter can hit and lose health they have 4 safe zones that I have found and the biggest most hang at .

 Most of the prey that I have talked to have been pretty nice but I also see they're cliquey. me coming from the village there not fast to talk to me they keep to them selfs but I have had a few open up and talk . the hunters on the other hand its like fresh meat LMAO...for a lack of a better way to put it...they're very helpful when I ask something most are fast to give me a answer. They're very kind and don't mind that you're new to the sim. I have also had a few offer to show me around in hopes it would make it better for me so they don't lose the new prey is my guess...but all in all the people I have ran into have been for the most part pretty cool I cant really say anything bad about them.....

....on this sim the prey can go naked or be in silks of some kind the hunter in there normal hunting fits I don't see much of a difference there from other rp cap sims ...which is nice having to buy new stuff just to come to a sim kinda sucks for some...for others it isn't a big deal I guess....

The meters......now these I do not like at all...the free one is a big ugly gold collar that just sticks out BUT I was able to make it transparent so I don't have to see it and it still works .....gotta love it.....they do have other meters that you can get if u want to pay for it...I looked into it and its not cheap so if I'm able to hide the ugly free one...I'm happy...

There is also this potion that you can drink once your health gets low if the hunter gives up or you find a nice hiding spot it only brings your health up 50% but its always nice they have this small little building here on the sim that once a day you are able to get yourself a bottle of this potion but it only works once and done....one of the nice prey I met today passed me one that I was able to reuse so there are some out there not sure where she got this from but I'm glad she was able to share it with me

....one thing I can say I like but it isn't really what I'm use to...no matter the fall you never lose health ....so it makes it easy to get away if you're a good runner and can land right and know the land and where to jump.....now if u land wrong...they don't lose health ether so there on your ass...over all I like this sim it really isn't what I'm use too but I think I like it here I can see me coming to play and have fun.....

I haven't been caped but twice so far in the few days I been coming but as far as the rp goes the two I had where pretty good but as we all know that's a hit and miss and you hope for the best ...I do think it should be a sim we could play at ...its fun and with the right people it will only get better I hope to see some new faces so I'm not the only one...lol

some thoughts on rp

Role playing is one of the important factors when it comes to participation in second life. You're someone you're not, and can be nearly anything that you imagine. So it would go to pot if you didn't try to script out your character as a separate entity of yourself.

How do you create a character? As we've looked at in the past, you create a unique appearance. You want to have a look that people will know is you. They will become accustomed to you looking a certain way, physically if not fashionably. This is your character's base.

Why is your look your base? What you look like and what you wear is what gives you your basic items to write about. If you do not carry a dagger, for example, how can you claim to fight with one? If you're not wearing a dress, how can you get tangled in it? These are simply things to think about. Of course it is possible to have pockets, bu t you need to keep their contents somewhat realistic.

The other things that you're going to want to think about when working on establishing your character is repeat actions. These actions are things that people will recognize and come to expect from your character. Does your character chew her lip while he watches the fire? Does she twist her hair in her fingers as she thinks? Does she have a sweet or sour disposition?

It's all things to think about. It can help make you a more appealing rp partner, as it will  show people that there is more depth to you than just being a digital barbie doll. You want your character to have aspirations and goals. These are what help you create a point of interest for yourself.

When I first re-arrived in the village my character could be found in the SZ now and then nibbling on flowers. She progressed to eating a snack we have since come to call "cricket crunchies", and  I even got them mermaid approved through rp. She also has a tendency to share fruit, which she has accessories displaying, to other characters. When she doesn't have them equipped, I improvise ways to get access to things. Many folk see me in SZ frequently, so it should come as no surprise that I would hide fruit and things behind the cushions there.

Ok, well that's enough babbling out of me. But just so you can see what I mean am including a picture and a bit of one sided rp. When starting an interaction, sometimes it can seem like you're playing by yourself, but don't be afraid to play. Having fun is the key element to enjoying your time. Here ya go.

Tiamet swims around the cavern, her tail flipping as she circles a pillar deciding that for a moment she can rest.  Her form sinks slightly her elbows coming to rest on the top of the pillar as her eyes stare at her surroundings lazily, a slightly bored expression on her face. The slight movement of the water causes her hair to sway around her face, the crown resting on top of it keeping most of it in place. She watches the bubbles escaping the plants, and playfully tries to let a bubble escape from her own mouth, and with a bit of effort she manages one pathetic bubble which slowly disappears up into the caverns darkness above.

Play like the rules never matter. ~ Tiamet ~
