Time To Get Twisted

Hiya everyone! Tonight we begin to explore the hardest gridwide hunt in SL, the biannual tradition that is the Twisted Hunt. Their Spring 2018 round runs throughout March with the theme of Atlantis, and our cubes are blue and gold so you can expect lots of aquatic beauty along our hunt path. I strongly suggest looking over their website so you can be prepared if this is your first adventure with the Twisted hunt, and I will sum it up by saying that it is extremely challenging but well worth the effort. The group (free to join) can be very useful, and when asked politely they will provide hints if available. There can be up to 10 visible decoys at each stop in addition to the cube that actually holds the prize/s, and if there is a Twisted easel at a store you'll definitely want to click it for the notecard it contains. Those sometimes offer hints, as well as info about side hunts, sales, gachas, and anything else hunt related. I am still slowly working my way through the hunt path, with Xan's invaluable help and support (he keeps me from getting too frustrated) and as with all hunts, I do recommend teamwork if possible as long as you avoid communicating in local chat and spoiling anything for anyone else who may prefer a solo effort. 


My first look is our prize from :{MV}: called Poseidon Gown, and it has a plunging neckline with deep bare back, and ocean waves across the hem. The prize includes a standard fitted version plus sizes for eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique. 


Roped Passions has this striking gown hiding in their twisted cube, along with a gift for the men, who are not excluded from this hunt by any means. This is the (RP) Sea Sorceress Outfit, in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. With the elegant keyhole back and the dramatic front slit, this barely needs any jewelry (simple earrings or a bracelet perhaps) to shine.


If the watery themes make you want to head for a beach or pool, be sure to pick up the prize at Arcadia first so you can wear this Halcyone Outfit. It consists of the sarong and top each in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, and TMP sizes. The lace is rather sheer, so I would suggest a bikini bottom (or solid material panties) layered beneath for modesty, depending on where you are wearing it. 


Another fun stop on the hunt path is Grey's Mind Maze, whose Mermaids Song to a Fairy outfit can be seen here. The top and shorts are each provided in standard mesh sizing, along with the lovely wings and a long prim skirt (not shown) in a paler color with a resize script built in. I really enjoyed the use of the cube's texture on the wings and belt here, and the little swirls on the shirt. 


Since the Atlantis of our theme has its roots in Greek mythology, it is very fitting that Little 2 Large chose to offer this lovely Atlantis Toga Dress as their side hunt (maze) prize. The main prize located in the store itself is a set of ruins, and the maze can be reached by clicking the teleport pad outside the front door of the store. It took me quite a while to work my way through, but I am clearly glad I did so. The toga is provided in what I call the lucky 13 of mesh sizes: 5 standard, 5 fitmesh, Belleza, Maitreya, and Slink. Be sure to check the lucky chairs and midnight manias upstairs for more Twisted goodies!

Well, today was the type of day that if you didn't need to go outside, it was best to just stay indoors and warm. We got about 6" of snow in my neighborhood, and the roads might not be cleared until Friday at this rate. Since I have plans for Friday, I have my fingers crossed that everything is fine by then. Meanwhile I hope you're all enjoying your day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
