Spring Kiyomizu Hunt

 Hiya everyone! Tonight I've got several wonderful treats from the Kiyomizu Spring 2025 Hunt to share, with an added bonus of a lucky board prize that I won in one of the locations. This seasonal hunt has 4 rounds per year, and I've been a fan for ages and ages, so it brings back fond memories while creating new ones. We start at the Kiyomizu Mall, and check around for stores with the hunt sign on display. These tell us how many ninja cats are hiding in that store, and they are very well scripted to keep track of those kitties :) We can click the ghosts floating above the walkways at the mall to get a personalized website link that shows which prizes we have found and where we need to visit next. Some are hiding at the main stores of the designers who have satellite stores at the mall, so tickling a ghost will be quite useful. We have until the 8th of April I believe, so go find your cute ninja felines!


Spring usually brings fresh flowers to life, so the SHOP KERO Off Shoulder Top & Tutu Skirt prize's pattern is a perfect nod to it :) Our bare shouldered top and fluttery skirt each fit Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn mesh bodies, with a fitmesh M size provided of each piece for classic avatars. There is also a HUD with 4 patterns for our outfit, as well as arrows to adjust the proportions of the pattern size. The circle in between the arrows will reset the pattern size so you can start over again if you get carried away with the arrows and want to try again ;) Why yes, that is the voice of experience, LOL, but we cannot break the outfit so just relax and have fun with it.


Melting Dots Freebie Store is a fantastic place to visit, especially for those just starting out in SL, and their Plaid Shirts Outfit prize in their ninja cat is a lovely casual look that is just right for these pleasant temperatures. That is a one piece outfit, with the tank top, open shirt layer, and denim shorts all linked together. It comes in a fitmesh M size along with sizing for Legacy, Maitreya, Lara X, and Reborn bodies. The enclosed HUD lets us choose from 5 plaids for the outer shirt, 5 solids for the tank top, and 2 denim hues for our shorts portion. There are the same texture proportion arrows <O> on this HUD, so you can go with a tightly woven plaid or a more bold, broader striped version if you prefer.


I have some fun news - two of our participating designers have collaborated to design two gifts each that coordinate together perfectly! This bikini is the Shiorin =CS= Bikini199 sakura166 prize, a pink version of their ruffled string bikini. The tops and bottoms are separate, and fit Legacy, Perky, and Maitreya mesh bodies. To jazz up your nails to match your bikini, be sure to find both kitties at [::] colon colon for their Maitreya nail appliers :) This is 2025.03 Limited Nail-A, pink with similar flowers as our swimsuit. Don't worry, I've got a closer look in the next image of the second version...


Our next look is the Shiorin =CS= Bikini199 sakura164 prize in racy red, same sizes as I mentioned in the prior photo's description and the same pretty white ruffles trimming both pieces. The nails are [::] colon colon 2025.03 Limited Nail-B, the beautiful matching manicure for Maitreya fingernails. The flowers make me think of cherry blossoms, and it certainly is the right season to see them at their best. 


So while I was looking for both cats at Shiorin's Mart, I went upstairs too which was definitely the right move for more than one reason ;) Lucky boards are like a siren's call to me, as Xan could easily tell you, and there are a bunch of them that do not require any particular group tag to win. This is the =CS= Bikini Swimwear123 Leopard-S prize which is one of a few that I was fortunate enough to win. Its top and thong bottom are designed for Kupra, Legacy, Perky, Maitreya, Petite, and Reborn mesh bodies, with wonderful feline print that I already associate with the hunt for their smaller ninja relatives. These boards offer "?" wild cards that anyone can click, as well as all the letters and numbers you can possibly have as your legacy name's initial. My suggestion is to hang out upstairs for a while and see what you can win, lots of swimwear as well as a couple of lovely casual outfits.

Is everyone ready for the weekend? It was a pretty good day here, and tomorrow is going to be in the 80s (now they're showing 84 in our forecast) so it'll be a toasty one. I'll be home relaxing, mentally preparing for therapy Sunday and then the attempt #2 to get to the dentist on Tuesday. My anxiety is having a field day with that one, but I am still trying to remain optimistic. Meanwhile I hope you all have a beautiful weekend ahead, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
