Bits of SL Life And Times

 

As I wrote earlier, yours truly can be very busy in real life sometimes. So sometimes there's very little time to write. And so things I would like to put my pen down to get postponed, sometimes again and again. So here's a few things that I couldn't find the time to write down earlier, such as cool Halloween looks, an alt experience, and a wrestling match.

 

Read, and see, the tales and pictures in People.

 

Cartoon of The Day: Haunted Body

 

 Taken at Club Cutlass, DeniseUnicorn Toonie asked if I could make a cartoon of her dark-looking avie for Halloween. I could think of one way it could happen.

Multiverse "Jail and Bail" Raises "Over 25,000" Linden Dollars For Parkinsons

 

Yesterday. Tuesday November 4, was the final day of the Multiverse Fair, a Halloween-themed major fundraiser for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which funds Parkinson's research. Among the events was a "Jail and Bail" that took place in the afternoon. Bixyl Shuftan was there, and was witness to the fundraising, and carnival chaos.

Last-Minute Halloween Places

 

Halloween is gone. It was a blast, but all good things must come to an end. But a certain fox had a little time this weekend to see a few Halloween-themed places. Keep in mind that they won't be up much longer. In fact, one or two may be gone by the time you read this. 

 

Read Bixyl's article in Places. 

 

Reader Submitted: Hell-o-Wine

 

Zada Bury is best known for her "Drivers in SL" videos. But she also runs a club. With Halloween, so many venues were decorating for the spooky season. But where Zada is from, Halloween is viewed a bit differently. And she has her own ideas about what's really scary. So when it came to decorating her club, she had her own ideas.

A Busy Halloween Weekend

 

Quite a bit happened this weekend. The PBC had it's seminar about Medicare and Medicaid. Burn2 had it's Thank You Party (pic above). "The AI Land" art exhibit had it's grand opening. Rosehaven would have it's Farewell Ball. Veterans Isle would have its monthly fundraiser. Making Strides against Breast Cancer had the last of their events. 

 

 And various locations would have Halloween events.

 

We'll get to these topics when time permits.

Cartoon of The Day: No Bones About It

 

 Taken at Club Cutlass. Riffi came as a skeleton to it's Halloween party, though left her head and tail intact. So what could explain this look? I could think of one way.

Halloween SL Video: "Hex Girl"

 By Nydia Tungsten in Oct 2016, "I would like to thank Brandi, Aser, Alle, Mystic and Mato for joining me for this our first Halloween Video and as always we make no money from these video's we just do them for fun."

 

Yes, it's November. And yes we played this before. But nothing wrong with one more day of spooky fun.

 

Cartoon of The Day: Happy Halloween

 

 

 Taken at Urban Furry. Whiskey demonstrates an animation that takes off an avatars head. But I can think of one thing that would cause many guys to lose their heads.

"The Multiverse Fair," A Halloween Fundraiser For Parkinson's

 

The Multiverse Fair is going on. This fundraiser for Parkinson's Disease research takes place over seven sims, and is going on until Tuesday November 4.

 

Multiverse Fair is a seven region mega event in Second Life supporting The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. Step into the ripple where realities collide. The Multiverse Fair is not just an event, it’s a dimensional detour through twisted fantasy, surreal sci-fi, and haunted dreams. Seven realms. Countless stories. Booths, quests, secrets, and surprises await. Come get lost you might just find something impossible. One question: What even is reality? 

 

 The grounds consist of seven sins (the one on the map on the upper right is a phantom that can't be reached). Five have various themes, related to Halloween. They are Dodge City (think Weird West), Folktales and Fleshwounds, Carnival Nocturne (evil clowns), Uncanny Ink, and Lolliocalypse. 

 

The sims have some scary scenery. And I found shops all over with various goods. 

 

 Note: from the chatter on Discord, Lolliocalypse sounds super-scary to some.

 

 The mascot of the fair are the Nubbins. You can buy an animesh one for 800L,and take part in the "Hunt for Nubbins" game in which you search for little statues of the critters across the sims for prizes. 

 

Every day up to Monday Novemeber third, there are music events.  For more events, check the schedule (here).  

 

The music events take place on the EclipticAquatia sim, at (128/133/22). 

 

So to have a scary time, and support a good cause while doing so, head on over to the Multiverse Fair.

Cartoon of The Day: Dying in SL

 

Taken at Furry Fashion. While your avatar can be sent back to it's home location (or a newbie area if you didn't set one), unless you or the Lindens delete your account, an avatar can't truly die. But some avatars make it look like you did.

SL Video: "Bellisseria Spooktober 2025"

From Sceneris on October 19, "Second Life Bellisseria Halloween"

 

Cartoon of The Day: Party Gravestones

Taken at Club Zero Gravity. Among the Halloween decorations were some gravestones. Very picturesque and added to the spookiness. But the problem with a hard stone object in the middle of a dance floor is obvious, and at one point people joked about them.

 

Sometimes the best punch lines others come up with.

Luna's Empire Fallout Equestria Ghost Hunt

 

Once again, the Luna's Empire Event sim is hosting a Halloween Ghost Hunt event. But this time, it has a new twist. This year, it has a "Fallout" theme, taking place decades after a civilization-ending event, and this time you take down monsters. 

 

Near the entrance, you pick up some gear, the weapon and a couple HUDs. It is recommended you take off unnecessary HUDs and scripts to lighten your load to make play easier for you, and others. 

 

 The lower right HUD keeps track of how much you've been slimed, which happens when monsters touch you, which clogs your screen and reduces the amount of candy you get from busted creatures. It also keeps track of how much candy you have, and what fighter class you are. The HUD on the upper left shows your location on the map, as well as locations of some monsters. 

 

 Some monsters can be taken on single-hamded. Others are stronger, and require a team effort. But they drop more candy when beaten. There's also a boss monster in a special area that's only accessible every so often. 

 

You can exchange the candy for prizes near the entrance. While some are pony-themed and not much good for human or furry or tiny avatars, others are useable by most everyone..

 

The game costs nothing, so if you're a pony of Fallout fan, or like busting monsters in general, come on over and zap away.
