Hiya everyone! Tonight we are exploring a terrific free gridwide hunt from SL Syndicate called Pirates Plunder. These are the same fine folks who annually bring us the Scoop N Score, Green Freaks, Crypt Crawl, and a few other entertaining hunts as well as sales events with an impressive array of designers. For our current Pirates Plunder, a black X marks the spot as our hunt object, trimmed (shadowed?) in teal green which does help its visibility. Some are sized fairly small, while others are bigger than our avi's heads, and since there are no hints we are just perusing each store and poking around to see where that X could be :) Their website has a list of the participating stores with links in alphabetical order, and the number of prizes since a couple of them are offering 2. It just started on the 6th and wraps up on the 20th of August, so we've got just under 2 weeks which is plenty of time since Xan and I were able to find all the prizes in one shot of 2 hours or so. We did have a little assistance as someone with a lovely pony avatar was on the hunt path along with us and we wound up working together to make sure if one found the prize, the others noticed. It was a pleasure, and her cute reactions made it even more entertaining than usual. The hunt prizes mostly match the theme and have some tongue-in-cheek touches, and even the names of your folders when you collect them have lots of booty jokes and pirate speak to make you smile.
For my first look this evening, I am wearing one of the two awesome gifts from Web Dew. Their ::WD:: Pirate - Gray outfit consists of the top, pants, belt, and coat each in sizing for Kupra/Kups, Legacy/Perky, Maitreya, and Reborn mesh bodies. Then the hat, choker, and boots are all unrigged so we can adjust them, and the choker has a resize script built in. There are even 2 HUDs to tweak the look, the main "details" HUD offering 8 colors apiece for the top, closures, belt, and metal, and the choker HUD letting us select from 8 colors for it. So much fun and versatility!!
Our other prize from Web Dew is their ::WD:: Pirate - Watermelon outfit, which is a lively color variation of the gray set in the first photo. We receive the same pieces and sizes, with just the one HUD for our choker with 8 metallic hues to choose from. I left the coat off on the right here so you could see that strapless corset top without it and really enjoy the style. I am a big fan of Web Dew in general and look forward to their prizes from every SLS hunt round :)
Next I got a bit creative, wearing a belt as a skirt and hoisting a pirate flag above it ;) The top is our Normandy-YoHo Tube Top prize, a simple clean style adorned with classic skull and crossbones we associate with pirates. It fits Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, Mounds, and Teacups mesh bodies/mods. Then I added the AseRiz - belt Asia Hunt prize, which is labeled skirt belt on the vendor image inside but that also shows it worn over a pair of panties so I am definitely not at my most modest here ;) There are sizes for eBody Reborn, Freya, Legacy, and Maitreya mesh bodies, all in that flowing diaphanous golden fabric. *chef's kiss*
The flirty skirt belt came in handy to show off another top, our ASH. -Scratch Top prize. The high neckline is a fun contrast to the slashes across the front (Wolverine?) and diagonal hem that bares a touch of underboob on the left, all in a deep brown leathery fabric. We receive Belleza X Classic, Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Reborn, and Mounds sizes of this beauty. You can certainly wear it with lots of pants, shorts, or skirts you already have in your inventory as well :) The rear view shows off not only the solid unscratched top's back, but the fuller panel of the skirt/belt along with how sheer it is.
For my final look of the evening, I had my very first experience with the alpha tab of the Legacy mesh body HUD to comfortably wear our prize from Tea Lane (and yes, that is a good thing because learning is always positive!). Their stunning ~TL~ Gunpowder Gertie Coat has a vibrant color combo of the yellow/orange pattern trimmed in deep purple, with gold buttons and a softer purple flower at the lapel. It comes in a classic M size as well as Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous mesh bodies. No Legacy, so I am wearing the Maitreya which was a close fit and I just had to alpha out my arms and hips and it worked out really well. I tried on other sizes too, and a few were also similar enough that I could have done the same with those too.
It's been a challenging day, partly due to the storms rolling through the area that caused my power to glitch out earlier and knocked Xan's out about an hour ago (he is about 3 hours away by car). The storm system that was supposed to come back my way in a few hours seems to have shifted away, so that's a big relief, and I am just sending occasional encouraging messages to Xan while he waits for his power to be restored. He is safe, that's what matters ♥. I did go out earlier but my stomach got uneasy and the anxiety ramped up, so it wasn't a rousing success but I got to the nearby destination and back even if I felt poorly. It's a challenge getting my body and brain to cooperate for these baby steps I'm taking to be able to go out comfortably, and this felt like when a hockey team wins 8-7 and it's like well their goals were great but the defense sucked so it was a technical win but still bleh. There's always room for improvement :) Still waiting for my doctor to get back to me with referrals to therapists in the area who have been successful helping similar issues, and can do televisits while I am struggling. At least in SL I can simply teleport wherever I want and my avi never gets motion sickness. I hope you're all having a pleasant day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
