Moar pictyahs!

SL stuff
Because my second life and my RP within SL are slightly different? Perhaps it explains something.
I finally figured out why my avi looks so horrible... it IS the shape, not the skin. I wasn't sure. But my shape for Amrys fixed it up, except the lips were off, so I modded slightly and now have much less horror in the nose/cheek area.

SL Bloopers: Fun with editing!
Okay, there's only one. But this is the only time I've ever gotten my avi cross-eyed.

I was trying to make my own hair (hint: never finished).


Dancing at Club Rockaway with Strangeleaf Langstrumpf. ((Some of you know him as Crazyperson.))

RP Stuff
Amrys's outfit in general has been updated... Magical OOC fairies brought her a shirt I got out of a camp chair ages ago (back before the SL hiatus of whatever-month-or-three), and Beast dyed her hair red (Amrys thought it would be revenge against her mentor for dying Beast's [red] hair blue.). I also swapped the ears with some that can be moved around a good bit, which is nice for displaying emotes.


I am vengeance... I am the night... wait, whut? Is Amrys, watching the city from above.


Amrys is swimmin with the fishies in the CW den!


Grumpily perched on a crate in the den.


Perched on a rail... in the... sewer. Ew. OOC ;) Was attending the RP combat lesson.



So the other night, Midian hosted a huuuge fundraiser for Relay for Life. How did we do it?
JAIL BAIL '09.
I signed up to play an NPC police officer ;)

This is she. Her name was Lisa Powell, and she was kind of a bitch.


And our first stop on the arrest list... The den! To pick up Ellie (not in picture). Several other CWs were arrested, including...


My sponsor, MJ!
And you can see next to his cell the donation box.

Basically, a ton of people were arrested, then their bails were set. Donate to get them out of jail, then they would "owe you" IC for helping them out. So it's still Midian style ;)
Before it was even fully over, $400 (USD, not L$) had been raised. Whoo!



Bloopers and Outtakes from Midian!


Amrys: It's bigger on the inside!!
Srsly, why is the TARDIS in MIDIAN? Is someone playing a 'Doctor' character?


Whutthepear. Why was there a giant pear wielding a scythe... playing hopscotch? And really, it was--there's a poseball for the hopscotch stuff.


You really can't see what's so epic about this picture without clicking to zoom in. Sorry.


Not much of an outtake, but whatever. It's the den (most of it), the church, etc.
Midian from Amrys's point of view, basically.




I think that's all I've got. I'd spam you with slURLs to places I like, but... that's spammy, and not that helpful. Contact me in-world if you want to know where I got something, most of what I own is random accumulated freebies or being worn (or both!).

I'm hoping to make some stuff and start a shop relatively soon, so I hope peoples keep an eye out for that.

Why you do/don't RP with people your entire faction is voiding:

You tend to get hurt. But you might get a chance to throw her off a roof.
Yes, I said throw her off a roof.

Note: CW is shorthand for Catwalker.
And for those of you who have never read this blog before: This is in an ONLINE RP community. None of this happened to anyone in real life. No people/cats/roofs were injured in the making of this battle scene.
So here's several hours of chat-RP in a nutshell:
Amy Nohkan (who CWs have mostly begun voiding in general) approached CWs myself and a kitten I was hanging out with, Kat[rinaElizebeth Karu]. The other CWs, as we'd been advised, ignored her. Kat, who is not a CW, had probably not been advised of this, or if she had, well, she had revenge reasoning, if I understand her backstory correctly. She had taken bullets for another kitten when this character attacked before.
Amy came up to the den's boundary, and I, like a good little pledge, told her to back off. She smirked and backed off. Then she asked what was in Kat's bag. We ignored her, continued talking. She came up to grab the bag, and I put my hand on it, and Kat and I both told her to back off. She wanders over to where a fight is starting up. We see the fight and Amy, pull out phones to message our respective authority figures.
Amy was not pleased. And there was a fire fight! (what is that from??)
She tried to stab Kat, I kicked the blade and Kat dodged anyway. She managed to shoot Kat in the stomach, I stabbed Amy in the leg (well. aiming for the chest. Threw the knife.) and grabbed on to her legs. Was kicked in the jaw. Managed to drag Amy over the edge of the roof, biting her leg to hold on.

Whoo. Carried Kat to the Medical Center (MCMC). Now I know who her mommy is! Oh my. Amrys now has a get out of jail free card.

I took these pics largely to show off Amrys's nose. But here is Amrys keeping Kat company at MCMC.

Catwalker Scavenger Hunt!

First of all, Amrys is now a Catwalker Pledge!
(It's like being a pledge to a sorority or a fraternity, including the ppppledge ppppin, except it's not lame. It's awesome.)
Anywho, from here on out, this is going to be an IC ("In Character," for the non-RP people) post.
It's basically the massive email/text message/thing that she's sending to her sponsor, MJ.
Because it costs money (okay, like a quarter. But STILL.) to upload the pictures to SL as textures.


I finished the scavenger hunt! Did you know this thing has one of those timer camera things in it? It's pretty cool, I didn't know they made phones with those.

Anyway, here are the pictures.

Take photos of the following things in the city, and turn in a notecard with the photos when done!

1. Wolf graffiti


2. Holy birds


3. Theater stage


4. A merry-go-round


5. An ambulance


6. A memorial


7. A rooftop fire


8. Record store


9. Advertisement for pop tarts


10. A piano / organ


Anyway, I hope this is satisfactory.

Oh, and don't let me forget to submit an incident report--we ran into someone on the roof earlier, and I came in as backup.
