What If?

It is the night for dark secrets, mysteries and myths. It is time for imagination to dwell in all the frightful spots at the back of your head, indulge in the startles, channel your mundane concerns into the fear of unknown and improbable, with that faint little voice within asking ‘what if?’ 

It is time for delicious treats, delicious thoughts. Make your fears tangible, taste them on the tip of your tongue, reach for more, find ways to combat them by becoming one yourself.

Take comfort in the knowledge that soon the visitation will be over and everything will be back to safe normalcy: all the monsters will be back under your bed or in your closet, haunting you only in the moments of your weakness.

But for now, tonight: dance with demons, inhale the fear, let the quiet what-if whisper grow into a roar: What if it is all true? Why couldn’t it be? After all, This Is Halloween.

The Grey Lady

“Don’t go near the briars or the Grey Lady will get you. She makes people fall into the thorns, see something shiny there, reach in and suddenly the thorns move! Just to draw blood. She feeds off of it, you know.”

“You’re being silly, there’s no such thing as the Grey Lady, it’s just an old story. I read that it’s based on some poor woman fleeing a warband into the briars, getting stuck and- …well, dying. Of course people would spin a story about it, she’s hauuuunting the briars, looking for revenge!”

“Well, if you read about it then it’s definitely true! She lived here, she died here, wouldn’t you haunt the place after a death like that? I know I would! Uses her ripped off jewelry as bait, or maybe she’s just still searching for them…”

“Yeah, sure, maybe in a horror movie. Ghosts don’t exist, don’t be such a scaredy-cat. …ohey, look, there’s something shiny in there!”

The briars by Cerridwen’s Cauldron, the skin by Fallen Gods Inc. and the gown by Senzafine are all available in the current round of We Love Role-play. The hair by Clawtooth is available in Collabor88 and the eyes by Pin Me Down in Flux.

Purple, Green and Gold

We don’t celebrate Mardi Gras or any form of carnival in Finland, adding one more holiday to a surprisingly long list of only-virtual-parties for me. Thus I’m also sort of clueless about which day/s it’s actually on where and when and if I’m already late posting about it or not, so I am completely excusing myself with my nationality. So there.

I went to Siyu’s Mardi Gras Masquerade party, not only once, but twice! The Gods of Carnival pranked big time and locked her sim on Saturday, so she graciously continued the party on Sunday. Two days of hopping like a flapper in a ball gown! Speaking of the gown, yes, it’s another of Evie’s gorgeous creations spiced up with a Schadenfreude mesh corset. The latter is from Flux event, along with the fan and make-up.

When we were not plotting the future society of our obvious alternate universe bubble where we were trapped, I took pictures! Which is always slightly tricky when dancing and extra tricky when you have to keep the graphics to event-level. I had even changed the viewer to stay stably glued on the dance floor. Regardless, I like some of the shots.

As much as Rio-style might be fun, I must say I am rather partial to this type of Venice carnival. Revelries in ball gowns and masks leave so much more to imagination!
