 At one point in Bellisseria chat, the subject of evil masterminds as a costume came up, and if a white kitty was a mandatory par tof the look. Rosina Evergarden would show this picture, "I don't need a cat, I look evil enough iin SL without a white cat (big grin)."

 

It Came From Bellisseria Chat: "Maybe I'm Paranoid ..."

 

 During a discussion about Halloween in Bellisseria chat, raci Quandry-Marabana (Traci Quandry) posted this picture, "Maybe I'm paranoid but I think I'm being watched."

 

Not sure if it's related to the thing I saw in August at Sansara at Pomponio, or was it Palomarian?

It Came From Bellisseria Chat: Ghost Horde?

 

While taking a look at the chat in the Bellisseria group, I happened to see the above picture posted by Jazzy (skyler0101 Resident), one showing some white streaks going over a Linden Home, some water, and a road. The reaction was the following:

 

[10:29] Mel (MelpomeneThalia Eton): It's probably dust from all the construction work going on
[10:30] Dreamer Pixelmaid: is that a storm coming?
[10:30] Jazzy (skyler0101 Resident): an evil one

Then someone remembered it was October, and noticed the jack o'lanterns

It Came From Bellisseria Chat: Traffic Cop

 

From Traci Quandry-Marabana (Traci Quandry): "As a  public service I need to warn all citizens of Belle we now have traffic cops."''

 

That traffic cop looks familiar. 

 

"Wait a minute ,I'm getting a ticket? And since when did Bellisseria get police ?"

 

It Came From Bellisseria Chat: "The Priest Who Poofed"

 

Sometimes all you need to do to find something interesting in Second Life is listen to the chatter. One group that's seldom quiet for long is Bellisseria Citizens. A few days ago, someone asked about someone in a priest avatar that appeared at their home, then vanished. That led to some noteworthy chatter for a few minutes.

Skype Shutting Down in May

 

 

Readers will most likely remember Skype, the chat application that was commonly used from the late 2000s and 2010s, and still used by 36 million computer and smartphone users as late as Feb 2023. But it was announced a month ago that in May, it will be shutting down. 

We want to express our deepest gratitude for your support over the years. Skype has been an integral part of countless meaningful moments, and we are honored to have been part of your journey.

 

Microsoft, which has owned Skype since 2011, announced that Teams, it's newer platform, will be taking it's place. 

Skype was widely used in the 2010s, but as time went on, some users would drop it, using others such as Discord and Zoom.

It Came From Bellisseria Chat: What A Croc

 

 Kira Skydancer was talking about her new Bellisseria home, "I didn't fill in my pool, but I did add landscaping and palm trees to the small bit between the island and my docks, and a pool for the base of the falls."

 

 But it seems Kira had a scaley visitor, "Unfortunately, someone else decided they liked my pool... now all my fishies are gone." The chatter soon turned into a debate on if the mers at Bellisseria's water areas were safe.

It Came From Fantasy Faire Chat: Halloween Decorating

 

 

A few days ago in Second Life, chatter started up in the Fantasy Faire group. Topics went to someone playing hide and seek with his pet snow leopard, "he's not very good at hide-and-seek, but I pretend I can't find him sometimes." Then eventually Milisandre Sarleon (Milisandre Resident)

then eventually talked about her pet "helping me spook the place up a bit for Halloween." It was quickly complimented, "That looks delightfully cozy." "Wow!" Milisandre thanked them, "Thank you. I made a couple modifications to it from stock, like redoing the interior surfaces to a cleaner stucco, and adding an upper floor and mezzanine reading spot; outside vines and trellis etc."

Delain (Delain Canucci): would add, "finished up my place too and is ready for Halloween. "That's amazing!" "Thank you *smile* It's open for public so if anyone wants to visit let me know, I toss the LM" She would later give the SURL, which was for a house in Color Alchemists.

What Halloween houses have you the readers seen? Feel free to mention some in the comments?

It Came From Bellisseria Chat: Traci And Her Minions

 

 

 From Traci Quandry. In one segment of Bellisseria chat, people started chatting about how ugly their avatars were. Finally Traci posted this picture, "these guys make me look hot." It was her with her raccoon minions. But there was a goose and a penguin added. 

 

Why the goose had a knife in it's beak, no one asked. 

It Came From Bellisseria Chat: "The Olympic Flag is Flying"

 

With the Paris Olympics starting today in real life, it was appropriate when Radioactive Rosca announced, "The Olympic flag is flying in Bellisseria," then posted this picture of it on a flagpole at a Linden Home. Someone mused "does it have it's pilot's license?"
