Victorian Ghosts & Haunts Group

Given that the Victorian period was a good one for ghosts and horror tales, I thought that perhaps Caledon was lacking a bit of "darker" side...After all, where are the unseen things and shadows and things that go bump in the night? On a lark for the absolute pure fun of it, I thought I'd create a "Victorian Ghosts & Haunts" group...

If you are interested in becoming a ghost o' Caledon (or even another of the 19th c. sims) as a residual or active haunting (haunting, mind you--not a pain in the neck), or would like to have your place haunted, do contact me!

A Headless Horsewoman and the Night Huntsman

ARRR! Firth Sailin'...

Ahoy! Took me newly named ship Zephyr t' sail on the Firth, dressed in me pirate clothes...There be a storm, clouds dark and rain strong...
An' a wreck with the Jolly Roger on 'er side, an' holes in 'er sails...
Went among ye landlubbers t' a place high in the Stormhold hills...
...T' sit thinkin' "A quiet place ye need..."

Landlubbers! Ye Know the Day?

Arrrrr mateys!!! Ye know wot day it is, ye scurvy bilge rats?! Where's me grog?

Wyre Museum Opening

A quiet day today. I went to Wyre for a dance celebrating the opening of the Eulalie Mackechnie Farquhar Art Museum, named after the grandmother of Baroness Hermione Fussbudget. You must come and see the photography exhibit with lovely photographs by Liz Augustine. Tonight's party was Radio Riel DJ'd by my favorite rawking warrior woman Lady Dia...Nice dress Lady Edwina!Afterwards, I danced on my Regency rooftop after a particularly funny incident that taught me the valuable lesson of "spatialized sound" settings while goofing around with things in one's inventory. I can't stop laughing just thinking about it. My apologies to my poor, poor neighbors!

I took this pretty picture while dancing. Mr. Goodliffe has a demon-god father, I have a fallen angel in my paternal bloodline...ah, a story for another time!

Lazy, Languid Afternoon and A Babbage Visit

I had the pleasure of having a wonderfully lazy, languid afternoon in the company of good friends at the Marchioness West Speirling Darkling's beautiful isle. With its views of the Firth and pleasant conversation, I was certainly glad to be there... Lady Dia and her beau Mr. Hax, Mr. Goodliffe, Sir Zen, and Lady Darkling and I were all settled comfortably on pillows. That is me perched on top of the fireplace looking out East over the waters. I thought I would try the voice client for the first time, at least to listen, and was treated to Zen's laughter and Dia and Darkling's lovely voices singing a medieval/Old English song in the round. Before I crashed, sigh, I had a really nice time and look forward to doing it again soon...
Afterwards, Mr. Goodliffe and I went to find a clockwork heart in Babbage and ran into Mayor Sprocket, Mr. Dagger, and Miss Rothschild. I am sorry that I can not remember the white fox gent who joined us as well. We spoke of steampunkery and Babbage's upcoming expansion. I must visit the villain store. Don't worry, I'll have my knife-pistol ready...
...and speaking of Babbage, my friend Miss Zoe Connolly was recently accused of being a Babbage spy!! This is something that has hurt her deeply, as it is a ridiculous accusation...especially given all of her efforts to bring the various Colonial District sims together! She is proudly Caledonian and one of our own...I believe she deserves an apology.

Call the VFB!

Went to the GenX Radio Riel party at Carntaigh...

I suppose you could safely say that we all were looking pretty hot! Miss Burton's fire had a great bombing sound and flash to it...Fire Chief Projects was a bit horrified and had to get out her extinguisher *cough cough*

Loch Avie Academy of Arms Tournament!

Finally the day had arrived for the 1st Loch Avie Academy of Arts tournament. There were great fights the whole time, which included Miss Babii vs. her father, His Grace Cymru, Viderian Vollmar, in their fantastic Egyptian looks...The other matches were Col. O'Toole vs. Sir Zen, Duke Regent E. Margulis vs. Miss Poppy, and Lady Dia vs. me. As luck would have it, ours was the first match. I don't have any shots of it. If one of you does, could you please send it to me? I was running on purpose, as my health renewal wasn't kicking in due to a glitchy down button. Thank you O'Toole for the "Move! Move! Move!" advice. As Dia has a relentless style, it was better for me to stick and keep moving. I got her down to 41% by the time Sir Tele called it. She went on to defeat Margulis and fight Miss Babii...
...to win the whole thing. Here she is with Sir Tele...
...who opened the arena up to melee fighting free-for-all, which was a LOT of fun. Dia caught me first-off and I was the first to drop, dash it! But in the second melee, Mr Goodliffe and I pulled out our swords in unison and proceeded to take down everyone who stood in our way until it was just the two of us left. I lost to him after a hard fought fight, but felt a bit redeemed. What great fights I saw and what fun I had!!!!!!
We all returned later for the big ceilidh dance with Celtic music and fun. Cabers were being tossed about, the chicken was rezzed, the daleks came later...All in all, a typical Caledonian Saturday!
I had sooooo much fun today!
