HellBone and I have been working hard, this time of year - like so many others around us - is our favourite time of year and FOR YEARS he (mostly) has been working his ass off to create a special event for people to enjoy... THIS YEAR we based it on one of my favourite movies... So, let's do the Time Warp AGAIN... 

This year the Rocky Horror is celebrating it's 50th Birthday... I have LOVED this quirky, random and crazy world since I first got to see it in my teens and NOW we have a little tribute to Frankenfurter, Riff Raff, Magenta and the humans in our own Dark Adventure!
We're setting out on another Dark Adventure...
"50 years ago at the mysterious Oakley Castle a mad scientist was experimenting with ways to create the perfect man. Events occurred one fateful night that left three innocent bystanders locked in a mental asylum, and now 50 years on, new evidence is coming to light..."

Tracking down the Ghosties

Dark Adventures has closed for 2022 and that means that we have a REALLY big problem on the sim right now... These spookies have made the dark places their home for the past month and now we have to work hard to get rid of them... It's not something that I am desperate to do, I HATE making them homeless, but we need to clear them out so that we can start working to create a super new experience and a brand new adventure... 

Before we can get rid of them, I need to find them... Unfortunately that means I have to wander around through the dark empty halls to find them... Luckily I have my collection of Ghost Hunting Equipment - from HopScotch thanks to a past gacha collection - I'll walk around and call out "Hey there ghosties, Hey there spookies, Hey there demons" - and search using a pose from -Extra- that they had provided for an awesome event prize - and maybe if I'm lucky, I'll find the ones that don't wanna go away...

Hair: Wasabi - Obsidian Hair in Offbeat
Skin: amara beauty - Freya in Ivory
Top: Pixicat - Alice Set in StripesBlack
Pants: E.K - Stormi Front Open Jeans in Blue Willow

The Queen in the Tower

Tis the 7th day of Halloween, and it seems to be whizzing by so far this month... 
I've decided that since we've been open for almost a full week now, I am going to wax a little lyrical about our little Dark Adventure and in fact there is ONE location in particular that feels a little more special than some of the others. I am talking about our little trip to the Tower of London... 
On our little spooky tour, we head to the tower, in search of some of it's very famous - and no longer living - residents... 

One of the most famous residents that ever found herself in the castle that is the Tower of London, was Queen Anne Boleyn. She was the second wife of Henry VIII, the mother of Queen Elizabeth I, and the first of Henry's wives to be beheaded... She met a gruesome end, at the hands of an Executioner with a sword in his hands. 
Her ghost is often seen wandering through the courtyards of the Tower, sometimes with her head on her shoulders, others with her head in her hands but usually pale and bloody... Her ghost became the inspiration behind Rudh's 7th look of Halloween and so we light a candle for a lost Queen...

Hat: Illusions - Anna French Hood
Hair: [Ginko Hair] - #97 Hair (Available until October 20th at The Engine Room)

Medusa's Pet Snakes

On another Dark Adventure today and this time we're going to visit the coast of North Africa, although the story from which our newest friend has been known... She's actually the star of Greek mythology... A maiden of three sisters, ok they are Gorgon sisters and not to be trifled with, but it wasn't always this way... She was a true beauty, who after a romance with a Greek God was transformed into a monster with snakes in her hair.. Yet it was in death that this Medusa was her most powerful... Her eyes, that had been powerful enough to turn people to stone in life, continued in use mounted onto the shield used in war to defeat the enemy...

Medusa isn't available to welcome us into their home today, but another of her Gorgon sisters, another lover of all things snakey is here to show us the temple... 
There are snakes everywhere, and even though she still has normal hair she's wearing a headdress to honour her sister, and a pet snake on her head... 

What is she wearing;
Snake: Doe - Snek
Headdress: Tentacio - Medusa in Black
Hair: DOUX - Blush Hairstyle (Available until November 5th at Equal10)

A Crone like Baba

Yesterday I brought some of the magic into my blog for Halloween... The pretty, sparkly, good kind of magic that is brought by the good witches of the world, but there are good witches like Glenda, of Oz fame, and there are good witches that hide in the deepest parts of the forest and take care of the nature around them... 
One of those is someone you may be lucky enough to bump into on a journey around the world - on a Dark Adventure perhaps?! In the deepest parts of the Siberian forests, there lives an old woman in the strangest cottage. Locals call her Baba Yaga... 

Baba Yaga is a nature loving, old crone - although some might say witch, whilst others would say hag. Her path in life is to protect the nature around her, and although that will often mean defending it from people, she doesn't mind having the odd one or two around as they make a tasty snack - especially the children, whose skulls decorate her garden fence! 
Side note, and away from the story a little but this head is JUST AMAZING, I knew as soon as I saw it at Necrosis that I'd need this head to play Baba Yaga... It's an Eldar Hag Head and Skin from BeSpoke...

What is she wearing;
Hair: Olive - the Gentle Hair
Head & Skin: BeSpoke - Elder Hag Head & Skin in Green (Available until October 8th at Necrosis)
Eyes: Madame Noir - Cosmic Eyes
Staff: Tentacio - La Parca Staff
Cape: M.birdie Story - Which Witches Gacha Item in Cape2
Outfit: M.birdie Story - Which Witches Gacha Item in Look B-4
Pose: Secret Poses - Grocery Basket, Pose 1
Bird: Jian - Falcons in Merlin Falcon Perch

Yesterday was the grand opening of our Halloween event creation...
Dark Adventures was born due to a realization that now that the Gators MC is no more, we would miss the super awesome Halloween events that we'd created for the past 8 years.

The stewardess is here to collect you at the start of the adventure... Follow your fellow companion, Percy the Pigeon, through the maze of an airport until you make it through and can catch your flight... You'll then go on a round the world tour and it will be the ride of your life!! 
Don't keep this air hostess waiting... She's not one to bring you extra blankets on this ride...
