HUNTING BENTHAM

The best thing a hunter can learn is to master the ability to hold perfectly still and listen. If they don't hear you, the other inhabitants of the woods will go quietly about their business. But maybe not quietly enough.



But sometimes something dangerous might be hunting you. Time to go!



Aaaah! ... just a bird. *whew*

(Even though these pants from the Essencial shop are a plain rendition of a full perm kit, I still rather like them for roleplay purposes. The full perm mesh kit for these harem pants are over here on Meli Imako's Marketplace shop if you would like to take a look.)

THE WANNABE VAMPYRE HUNTER

I'm gonna bag me a monster tonight.

I've been hangin' out in the cemetery all afternoon. But its getting close now.

With a fresh grave ready, there ought to be something bad stirring around.

But I sure hate the last half hour of waiting.

Just for laughs, today I am modeling a bare chested rockstar-wannabe vamp hunter. I laugh now, but I remember when I was a kid I was scared of things like vampires from watching the movies. But the monster hunters looked pretty stupid to me. Why didn't they just leave some donated IV bloodbags for the vampires? Why didn't they weld on steel collars that keep the vampire from biting their necks? Why did the women in these movies always trip over something when they were running away? Why do all the victims have to be so darn stupid all the time?!?

This outfit is mostly courtesy of the Make Him Over Hunt which is running through August 20. For more information, including a Teleport List and pictures of some of the Hunt Prizes, you may visit their website or join their inworld group. At the starting point you can also pick up a hint list.

MENstuff 2 of 4: Just for Laughs

It's a pretty sure thing that if something gives me a hard bellylaugh, I tuck it away in my inventory somewhere. I thought this chainmail would fall into the Roleplay category, until I saw the booty shorts. ;P Still, I had fun dressing the outfit up with shiney Helmet and Sword.

Chainmail: Prodigal “Rame Mesh Shirt w/ Chest Sling Gold”
Shorts: Prodigal “Leather Shorts w/Zipper”
Beard: Valiant & Sacred “2.0 Beard V1 – Tintable” (tattoo layer, more colors included)
Harbinger and Stormie “Rarius Fate” Sword (not a hunt gift)
Mysts of Time “Copper Hoplite Commander – Spartan Helm” (not a hunt gift)

Love,
Serene

p.s. I have to put Vitamen's pearl thong into the "Just For Laughs" category, but there was not a chance I was taking a picture of that. ... with my luck, I'd get pubes tangled in between the pearls. Ouch.

RUMORS OF WAR

We may yet have a few days before battle, but most of the soldiers have been posted near the fore of our defenses ... just in case. Within the castle is unnervingly quiet. Most of the courtiers excused themselves and fled to the countryside at the earliest rumors of war. A few of us still pace our appointed rounds within. My walk is a little more than one thousand paces in its circuit, around the courtyard garden and its windows ...

and through the chapel, winding through corridors and staircases. The metal plate on my boots and shin guards is heavier each time around.

What is that noise?

Shouting from the parapets! The battle is about to begin.

Outfit: Bare Rose “Lady of Lioness” (includes armor in three colors, parti-colored long shirts in five colors, pants not shown here, and a non-scripted axe)
Pants: Adam and Eve “Catwalk Leather Pants”
Sword: Harbinger and Stormie Designs “Rarius Fate Gladius” scripted with HUD
Hair: Maitreya “Moon”
Skin: Curio “:GP: Acorn Defeat [Light] Battle Royale-Shiner 2”
Eyes: Poetic Color “Night Rain”
Location: Mont St. Michel

IN KOWLOON

Walking in Kowloon, I smile nicely and act respectfully ...

... But I carry a weapon just in case. Today I am armed with the Hunter's Bow from Harbinger and Stormie designs. This store specializes in all kinds of ancient weapons needed in many roleplaying sims but does not manufacture guns or other modern weaponry. I love that their weapons include a HUD (heads up display) that lets me control my weapon features without constantly referring to notecards for chatline commands. Their bows and crossbows use several types of arrows for roleplay in addition to traditional weaponry, including signal arrows, flaming arrows, rope arrows and (my personal favorite) dung arrows. *low dirty laugh*

I'm still wearing my AM Radio aviator glasses that he gifted us at his hangar on the Refuge and Expansion sims. The sims are gone now so they aren't available anymore. You can also just see the IndustrialRevolution earrings made of great steampunky cogs.

Shirt: Whippet & Buck :Hykova Buttoned Tank” (tinted)
Skirt: Kurotsubaki “boro_skirt”
Boots: Studio M’z “M’z Lace up Boots B.H.black”
