Hiya everyone! Tonight we delve into the Twisted Spring 2020 Hunt, whose theme is Cyberpunk and color is electric teal. That means the spinning lament cubes are a vibrant teal color, with some transparent sections, which can make them tricky to see against certain backgrounds. This is billed as the hardest hunt in SL, and I do suggest reading the rules on their website before embarking on this challenge :) I will sum it up by saying that the prizes are free but you will earn them, hehe, and there can be several visible decoy cubes (named the same and sometimes with contents but not set for sale for $0L) and the cubes move frequently. You can request a hint by joining the group, and you will notice on the merchant list that many stores have side hunts...those can be amazingly challenging! One clever one was a "twist your own adventure" with multiple notecards that you choose what do to next by reading the pertinent card and following new instructions. I have always found that this hunt brings out so much creativity in the participants, and probably a special wicked side ;) Okay, now that you know what you're in for, let's see some of the generous prizes!
First we have one of the two prizes at Secrets of Gaia, the SoG Cyberpunk Bounty Hunter, and it is a fully loaded treat! The bionic arm top (short sleeves, left arm fully metallic) comes in sizes for Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, Tonic Fine, and Voluptuous bodies. The matching pants are provided in all the same sizes plus classic Medium and fitmesh Medium for classic avatars. There are bracers for each arm in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic, and an unrigged version. The belt and leg bands are each provided in Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique sizes. The boots are in a single size that will work easiest by hiding whatever feet you are sporting, and the ear spikes (left and right) are adjustable too. Do I look like a bounty hunter? :) I sure look ready for some sci-fi adventure!
My next look shows two of the 7 side hunt prizes from #hashbang!, who are offering male, female, and unisex gifts among their many prizes. The dress is called Luminous Dress - Neon, and it comes in fitmesh standard sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. There is also a HUD with 14 glow colors plus an X option to turn the glow off and change the straps to grey. My sunglasses are the unisex Mirrorshades - Twisted side hunt gift, which has a built in resize script and is in the hunt's shade of teal. One twist (pun intended) here is that the side hunt will actually lead you back to the main prize itself, so you can do the side hunt before finding the main cube.
Roped Passions has two main prizes (and several snarky decoy cubes!) to be found, male and female, then a side hunt with more gifts for us intrepid hunters. The ladies' main prize is the (RP) Volt Cyberpunk Corset Teal seen here, in standard mesh sizes plus Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine versions. From the side hunt prizes I am wearing the matching Volt Cyberpunk Pants (Womens) which come in a system layer and an Omega applier, and the Volt Cyberpunk Boots (Womens). Even the halo of cubes spinning around my head is a prize, the (RP) Cyberpunk Cube Halo (Unisex). These are exact representatives of the hunt cubes for your very own, so you can relive your hunting experience whenever you wish.
Valkyr has provided 4 different gifts for the hunt, two female and two male outfits. This look is their *Valkyr* Grid Hunter F - Twisted Main Gift, consisting of body armor (vest), jacket, pants, and boots as shown. The body armor, jacket, and pants each come in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, with the boots in Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, and Physique versions. The back of the jacket is decorated with the twisted cube, and the store's name on the collar.
My final look of the evening is the other Valkyr female prize, Grid Hunter F2 Twisted Main Gift 2. As you can see, it is a cool blue color rather than the teal of their first gift, and it includes all the same components in the same sizes. You could potentially mix and match these pieces between gifts if you were so inclined.
I hope you are all doing as well as possible in these uncertain times, and that you and your loved ones are staying healthy and safe. Many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!

Hiya everyone! Tonight's post starts with some offers from The Wash Cart Sale, where you can find something for everyone in the family, all for $10L an item. There are over 50 designers taking part in this round, so chances are you will either find a familiar favorite store or make a new favorite or two. I was also inspired by a group notice to visit [WellMade] to pick up some of their newest group gifts, not only for their own store group but a few other popular groups too. All are free to join, and so helpful with information about sales and free gifts. I even snuck into Uber to treat myself to the newest release from Truth Hair, since I needed a pick-me-up :)
Our first stop is the -CroM- cart at The Wash, where among their many offers we have the Claribel - Red dress seen on the left, and Lina - Fatpack on the right. Claribel comes in sizes for standard, eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, with a full skirt and sequin adorned top. Lina is provided in standard S, M, and L, plus Freya, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, and Voluptuous versions, and a HUD that lets you change the top from purple stripes as shown to light grey stripes. Each of these dresses is just $10L, and there are several other choices as well at the same great price. If you'd like to visit the -CroM- mainstore please click here, and the link in the ending credits will bring you directly to their cart.
Next we enjoy the #hashbang! cart, where we can find several versions of their Vaporized Top for only $10L each, including the Consumerism design on the left and Laser on the right. Each is included in standard mesh sizes along with eBody, Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Ocacin, Hourglass, Physique, TMP, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine fits. The #hashbang! mainstore link is here, and the ending credits will bring you right to their cart.
Time to visit [WellMade] to claim some free group gifts! The shirt seen here is for their store group (free to join) and is called Gianna Shirt. It comes in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, Physique, Tonic Curvy, and Tonic Fine, with a HUD that lets you choose from 4 textures. There are black and white backgrounds for each graphic seen above.
Next you will need to switch to your MGSN (Maitreya Gifts Sales and News) group tag to claim this lovely Damara Top in a Maitreya size. It comes with a HUD that offers both color choices seen above, each looking beautiful on the handkerchief style top.
For my final look this evening, I am wearing the FabFree group gift from [WellMade] called Indira Bikini. The bra and panties are each in sizes for Freya, Isis, Venus, Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique, with a HUD that lets you choose red or blue for each piece separately. I mixed and matched here, but you can easily go all red or all blue, both with the white stripes for a nautical flair.
Hair note of the night: This perky ponytail from Truth Hair is called Daphne, and can be found at this round of Uber. In addition to the Stylist HUD for various bangs options, there is a scarf that can be turned off an on with that HUD. There is a separate accessories HUD for its texture, several patterns and solid colors, so you can really get creative with this release. As always, I suggest playing around with the demo to make sure it is the right choice for you.
I hope you're all having a fantastic day/evening, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!
