CAUGHT IN THE HEADLIGHTS

Aauugh, those lights. Halogen. Maybe I need sunglasses at night.

Whoever you are, get out of that car and we'll see who gets the upper hand.

Stupid shatterproof windshield.

I've just gotta get outta here.

I shuffled away from the lights and went hunting ... on the Mesh Around Hunt. I figure Zombie Stank thins the hunt crowd and reduces lag. :D

(Actually skull-and-zombie themed goods have been making their way into my inventory lately ... what is it almost October? ... so I figured it was kismet. Pirate Arts and Zombie Suicide are two new-to-me shops that have recently dropped me review copies. Thanks!)

IN THE WILD

UNDEAD UNDERGROUND

There isn't much to see down here, in the under-under-basement of Insilico.

But I'm really glad to see you!

This? I'm not sure why someone left paint sitting here.

Pants: paper.doll “Emily Trousers”
Necklace: Rozoregalia “Gemma Necklace 4”

THE HOSPITAL

Finally drawn out at night by the smell of blood ... the small animals in the woods are not very satisfying.

This has possibilities ...

*tsk* wasteful.

There you are ... the last, worst inmate this place has to offer, friend? Come! Come to me!

Come and meet the dark ...

This amazing gown is the "tiny" version, which was smaller and shows less cleavage than the full-sized version, so it is more appropriate for tiny or child avatars. For those of you on a tight budget, Ms. Miles has stocked a lucky chair with a version that has the adult decotellage and the shortest tutu-length skirt.

And then there is the ring. ... Wow. If you look carefully, the little rows of silver beads around the stone are actually tiny tiny skulls. And there is a bit of swirling light inside the diamond. Wouldn't a blood diamond be romantic for a vampire?

Gown: Evie’s Closet “Tiny Fable Halloween 2010” (resized from tiny version)
Ring: Naith Smit “Blood Diamonds Ring”
Shoes: Gos “Posh Bootie”
Skin: Glam Affair "Castalia Vampire Skin" (at the Dressing Room)
Hair: Maitreya “Moon”

Poses: by Alchemy Immortalis (“Dracula Afoot”) and Long Awkward Pose
Location: Rackingham State Mental Hospital

DINNER WITH THE DEAD

I was just taking the first bite, my eyes unfocused a bit in anticipation, when they walked in.

But there is always room for another guest at my table. Or perhaps on it.

When they showed me the flames, I turned to run, but I was distracted by the smell of supper. That moment's delay almost cost me my life ... such as it is.

I was slow to realize that they planned to herd me and lock me in here. Now they are standing at a distance, congratulating themselves. I can still smell the adrenaline and sweat through the hole in the glass.

So hungry. And even dead, I still hate fluorescent lights.

(Everything in this post was found on the Zombie Popcorn Hunt, except for one of the poses and the blood spatter in my dining room. The Hunt provided many other very nice prizes that I couldn't work into this post, including skins, clothing, lingerie, jewelry, poses, and furnishings. The Zombie-and-Goth themed items are magnificent. But there are plenty of goodies for those of you who find the undead uninteresting. Two thumbs up. ... The Brain Kebabs are sized about right to have come from housecats, but of course they are just an appetizer. The Table is spread with a ghoulish feast of brains, still-beating-heart, and Rats. Eww.)

Hors d’ Oeuvres: Concrete Flowers “Brain Kebab”
Collar: Shush “Chained Heart” (comes with matching shirt not shown)
Bracelet: Blitzed “Legacy Bracelet”
Rings and Nails: Virtual Insanity “Eye Rings and Nails” (with eyeballs!)
Corset: Nomine “Slip Gown Black – Corset 1” (part of a stunning lingerie set!)
Shirt: LouLou & Co. “Dress Zombie” (part of dress)
Pants: Leaks “Zombie Got Me Black Leggings”
Boots: Hoorenbeek “Military Boots – Loose – Used Brown”
Tattoos: Para Designs “SnakeBite” and Love Zombie “Y-Stitch”
Hair: Exile “Maggie”
Skin: Imabee “Bam Bam Pizza and Ham”
Eyes: Repulse “Antique Eyes”
Dinner Set: Noctis “The Feast” (includes everything except blood spatter)
Prison Photobox: Slash Me Poses “/me lets the voices win” (includes props)
Poses: by Adorkable Poses, Diesel Works (not a hunt item), and No Strings Attached
