The Checkerboard Palace of the Chess Court

I am still not doing very well, but I am trying to force myself to just carry on and keep going because I have no real choice right now... I'm trying to make myself feel better with a drift into something a little fantastical. My brain is full of fluff, so fantasy seems to be a easy place to drift off to... 
Although I'm not going to do something that is pure and simple, no... Today I want to slip into the most interesting of royal courts, to introduce you to a very special royal... 
Welcome to the Palace of the Chess Court, and let me introduce you to the Princess of the Checkerboard... 

Welcome to the Gothic Ballroom in the Palace of Checkerboard, home of the Chess Court... The Neon Knights Chess Set - a new release from MadPea at the current round of Uber, which I have used as decor but is infact a fully functioning, playable game that I have included the original poster for to show you more information on - gather around the Throne of Shadows - a release from LORE for the Midnight Order - hoping for a meeting with the Black King... The Dark Piece Princess has come to witness the spectacle of the piece gathering... The pawns moving aside to welcome their Checkerboard Princess...

Find a Lantern, Make a Wish!

It's a magical day, not only is is the weekend - which let's face it, when you're off work and able to have fun will always be magical - but there is something special in the air... It's not a special holiday, there's nothing happening in RL besides a bit of spring cleaning and some decorating at home, but if you listen carefully you can hear whispers in the wind, floating through the air of Second Life... 
The magical beings have heard the rumours, they are whispering them for the mere mortals as the time draws near... The Midnight Order is back in town, and the doors are about to fly open so the magical merchants can share their wonderful wares... 

Above the clouds, there is a magical being that is whispering the news into the rainbow of floating lanterns, each one allowing it's finder to "Make a Wish" - a set of poses and props from Fashiowl Poses - it's a simple things, find a lantern, make a wish and the members of the Midnight Order will grant them for you...
