Strolling through the swish of flowers and lush grass, I exhale, suddenly feeling relaxed. A sunbeam crosses the pathway, dazzling my eyes. As my eyes adjust I plunge into a wild tangle of flowers that stand tall enough to cast shade over me.
I hear a faint musical tinkling up the pathway and follow the enchanted sound through the trees and across antique plank bridges toward the sound ... finally I locate the chimes here where water flows quietly like timeless tears from a great stone head, perhaps fallen from an ancient statue, now scarred and obscured by moss.
The pathway winds over hills and under trees past odd sights, quiet resting places, bowing trees, a rustic fishing dock, and an assortment of clocks with hands that spin erratically as if they can't decide whether time flows forward or backward here ...
Exploring seacaves and walking on underwater paths, where luminous sea grasses point my way with slow motion, I finally find this titan temple. I am awed by the misty filtered light and the crumbling wooden supports. Standing on tiptoes I try to make out the opalescent painted carvings on the fallen columns.
Some places make me feel very small. ...
Trees, vines and wild flowers are encroaching on the island ruins. As I walk through, A strong breeze blows sweet pollen and dandelion seeds across the flowery courtyard.
If you have sailed quickly in and out of Oubliette, perhaps to visit Balderdash or Evie’s Closet, you have missed the opportunity to seek the secrets of what I believe is one of the most beautiful and memorable islands in our world. A few shops are scattered in the woods and slopes of the isle, but most of the island is an explorer’s gem. Hidden spots of peace and beauty are tucked in across the island, so look carefully, and take your time.

All night guarding the ship. Dull, dull, dull.
Relief due any minute.
Glad you're here, man! I'm hungry, what're they serving in the canteen?
Catsuit: PixelDolls “(Elipse).Scarab”
Some days don't you want to be a kid again?
What can now be said, oh, little one on the other side?
I was in the mood for something sweet. So I bring you ... Shortcake! This fluffy little confection might as well have the bell skirt made of fondant. (Yum)
I also wanted to show you the back of the jacket. I show it separately because when I stretched the skirt to be bigger, it interfered with the jacket ruffles.
It isn't exactly a ballroom, but I am waiting in it to dance.
Finally he is back ...
(I thought if I am wearing Fhang Candy I might as well be Fang Candy? I am eating up this gorgeous subtle dress that Evie put out at the Summer of Love; it seems black at first glance but it is really very dark red. There were other colors but I just had to have the Red.)
Where am I? Where are my trees? The night stars?
My enemy has left me here, in this grey in-between place. The most cruel punishment, to bind up my wounds and leave me ... here.
...
No sound of bird or running water.
(I couldn't resist showing you the LPP armband up close. The details on the metal are amazing, there are two versions included that are identical except for the color of the metal. Typically I prefer the silver.)
I'm so confused. What is all this mess?
Okay guys this joke is not funny. Guys? ... Guys?
Where did this axe come from? .. Oh! Oh no! Not again!
You have to believe me! I didn't do this!
"Welcome to Bermuda, Mr. Bond. I just finished preparing your suite. Will you need extra towels or toiletries? No? Please let me know if you need anything else."
He threw me roughly on the just-made bed and stepped back, drawing his Walther PPK quickly and eyeing me suspiciously from a distance. "Tell me who sent you. You are no more a maid than I am a boy scout." I knew my cover was blown so I told the truth. "I was sent to look after you. Felix sends his best." ... "How did you know? What gave me away?"
He whispered in my ear "My dear, those are not the shoes of a domestic."
Of course this isn't the kind of accessory worn by a maid either.
I took a break from hunting and cyber gear to meet with my fans at the ComicCon in San Diego. Posing a moment for photographs is simply noblesse oblige when you are the true Queen of Geeks.
It's rough, a career in enforcement in Sick. Patrolling dark dirty streets armed with wit and a laser blade. It helps to have good equipment. My gear includes holo-identification of my guard unit on both the front and back of my uniform, light armor, communications with built-in power packs, emergency lighting, night-vision goggles, air filtration, and ordinance.
It helps to know your martial arts. You should stay in practice.
The blade is like a cross between a classy lightsaber and practical machete.
