Halloween 2024 2
Another popular thing this year could be mist, witch crawls on the ground.

In the mist, a normal figure becomes scary.

There are monsters too, but I feel that they are not so bloody this year.

I think I saw a kind of this in the Museum of Natural History at NY. I wrote before that the crocodile family is scary as it is.

There are many interactive ones. Once I was tripped by a blow from behind. This hand comes out suddenly and catch you when coming close.

There are monsters in forests which come out when approaching, making it hard to take snapshots.

Some of them are keep moving. I tried to march in step, whit was not so easy.

My favorites among the listed 72, wide, beautiful decorations, joy for walk around, and humorous musters too.

Welcome Hub again
At the welcome center of SL, there has been a big signboard of interest. I found that it was completed and visited there.

The framework is the same, and only that I found is several presentation stages in a full SIM. What is the difference from the SLEA project that provided many SIMs for arts using full SIM? I am looking forward to the presentation coming, but it would not look different if they were art presentations, and more disappointing if those were advertisements.
Welcome: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/WelcomeHub/109/76/25

Motown: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Motown/126/120/24/
Next to the welcome center, there is a demonstration of cityscape, which is wintry scene now.

It was so meticulously made, and drastically different from the field when I started SL fifteen years ago. If I had seen this when I entered SL first time, how was the excitement! Or nothing special for current person who got accustomed to open world games now?

It was made realistic up to the back streets, but it is rather dreamless world… “We expected to see new world, but everyone only made islands in the south”. It is said someone in SL management said. But the town made by Linden himself, looks the one found around every corner. Or is this the new target now?

It ended up with a picture for realter advertisement, but that could be the purpose of Linden. I might return to the question, “What is the SL?” It is OK for me since I have been enjoying it im my way^-

Churches in SL
Following the top picture of a church in the previous article, visited several churches in SL. This is the one close to my house, Kazumi’s church, a cute one that can be seen in countryside in Spain of France, with a bell tower on the roof.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dromio/198/47/22

There are animations provided as wedding ceremony, where Kazumi takes a role of the father. It will be possible to celebrate a wedding now. At an early age, I was worried if he proposed me, but all I had were broken hearts and no chance. In process of time I got a partner in RL and ended up with a SL single.

The most famous one in SL could be Mont Saint Michael, that still exists, bit it is not connected to the mainland now and only a part of the entrance road was left on the island. Still it is possible to walk all the way to the top church, but the housing and shops on the way look vacant than before.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mont%20Saint%20Michel/128/1/23

The biggest one ever I saw in SL was the Kolner Dom, that is not anymore. The right is the real one. Since the SL one was made at the age where neither sculp nor huge prim. It used more than 13000 prims out of the SIM capacity of 15000. It was sad that no interior was made maybe due to the prim availability.

This is rather new one. I do not see the original model, but the buttresses and surrounding buildings are made in detail. The whole building is using only 700 prims, that is the same as the prims used for one column line of the above cathedral.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/DarkWood/154/133/22

The interior was made nicely using the prims. Amazingly there are stages for votive candles. Anyone can get a devotional candle and right click on it to edit to your special name and description. The candles set were more than 900. Every candle was made of two prims, so total will be 1800 only for those.

There are some churches that can be seen only in SL. This is an outdoor marriage-hall?

The curtains using full bright function are cool! Not only copies of actual church. I would like to see such a free design. But there is an eery cathedral floating in the air where devils may manage it.

Light-up change
Old trees were made of plane textures, so it was popular to use full bright. This is the chapel where my friend at Edo celebrating a wedding.

This was my old house. It might be impossible to do this illumination in RL, but I like this kind of brilliant trees as a special effect in SL,

Streetscape at Paris. The illumination became realistic, but less glorious than the old ones.

Instead, some arcade-style realistic illuminations became gorgeous.

All in all, bright spots at night are shops. But it is lonesome that there is no person.

Huge chandeliers at SL15B, 2018, using two SIMs. I would like to see this type in SL, although not realistic.

Bright forest
Street Illuminations are so beautiful this year that it takes time to see then joining a procession. Even in SL, there was beautiful ones like Luminaire. It is hard to see them in SL today. There are some bright trees. The famous one is the family tree at the planet Pandora. This is rather old and made of flat texture.

It could be hard to put many small lights on recent objects that were not made of flat texture. This one has many ones but it feels some loneliness. It is also hard to find beautiful light-ups in the World of Yana, that has been introducing wonderful pictures of sits. Yana, please let us know when you found some.

These are real lights on wisteria trellis. There were also gorgeous tunnels with LEDs and fantastic demonstrations.

There are many bright plants in Pandora, but the main character is a bit eery.

In the movie, these spirits were gathering together around the family tree. It was impressive to see them coming close to the character.

Was this in the movie? Floating creatures seen in many SIMs, also on the planet Mars.

When the movie Avatar was released, there were many planet Pandora or related shops, but I cannot find those for the Way of Water. Because of rack of creators or the second movie was not so popular as the first one? It was a new world suitable for SL, with floating rocks, creatures with six legs, or Ikran with psychomancy. Avatars in the movie were somewhat similar to the operators, so I made my one, that I have been using to find Dragons in SL new year.

Halloween 3
I feel that there are less horrible monsters than last year. So, I put here some unique ones. This is just sleeping but the dolls are! I like everything if there are plenty of them, but this is a bit spooky.

A lot of candles are popular but these are in a piano. Goblins are trying to play it but only strange sounds come in.

I do not like Shibari, but it is OK to be a subject for experiment. They do not do anything though.

This looks like a briefing by a doctor rather than being attacked. I might have got used to it…

Spooky dining tables are also popular. In this site there are various sets on each room.

One of the common things that can be seen this year is hanging. But most of them are dirty male. The creators are feminists? Since there is no stool, those are not suicide pacts but executions. I switched them to female together with airing my dresses in the inventory. You may feel disgusted, but please evaluate a little the effort to draw this much^-^

Town with Godzilla
While walking around, I ran into a strange SIM, where Godzilla was at the corner.
This is a real town of Shinjuku Tokyo, where a huge Godzilla figure is sitting on a building. I love this dog’s breakfast at Shinjuku, but this could be a kind of strange town in that context.

The differences from Shinjuku are that the Godzilla keeps moving, and there is no one around.

“Do you feel lonely?” “Yah, there were many visitors when I came here, but no one cares for recently.”

At the central park, there is a snake like a Chinese dragon. There are road signs at Hongkong, and many Japanese ad displays around, but on the other hand, some letters on signboard are reversed, or the decoration says “Japanese neon sign” in Japanese, which should not be in the real world.

At the park next to a line of Japanese Kokesi dolls, there is Sephiroth who killed the heroine Aerith in the Final Fantasy VII. This is a kind of oriental style but neither Japan nor China. Or was this made intentionally to create a new fantasy world? Whenever I visit a new town, I will wear clothing suitable there, but this time I was not sure what to wear.

The main area is a dance club Hotaru, a fireflies in Japanese. The large flying insects should be hotaru? Depending on the time, there were some guests dancing there.

I wondered who made this kind of crazy town and saw the creator’s profi. Surprisingly there is a face of a gorgeous lady with highly refined features. The reason why I wrote this article was that large gap. Havih is a photographer, SIM builder and has made many beautiful SIMs. I asked her to let me know her other creations but was not able to contact her so far.

Playing at the Entrance
Visited the Welcome Center to play together with my friends. I was with a new account but Sachiko and Miruru were old enough, to be chaperons for me.

Miruru soon found a free Pegasus and flew around the city.

It can fly in the air or water, and also walk submissible with her.

While taking a rest, Miruru made a strange pose. It could be OK with cushion or sofa, but what is this on the folding chair?

Sachiko could get stimulated, and started such a thing like this. There is this pose in the welcome area! They said that I was making face but it was jealousy.

Later I tried myself. The animation was titled Neck Massage, but here is for beginners!

The numbly raising hand and droopy head, rather look like a choke-out. If I knew this, I would have done with Sachiko^-^

SL Starting Point
What is the scenery that a person who started SL will see at the first time? I tried to see it by creating a new account. This is the outside of the Welcome HUB where I entered SL at the start.
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/WelcomeHub/109/76/25

The initial world consists of nine SIMs, the center of it is the Welcome HUB. Around that, there are Linden home, shopping area, music studio, movie theater, game center, or casino.

There is video guidance regarding SL operation, step by step, that is very understandable, also good for restudy. For the transportation, you can teleport or with the guided air car. The cannons on the right are shooting you directly to the designated spot. For the first time, it might be good to use the air car on the left for guiding whole area.

Different from the old ones, the residential area or the street with casino were elaborately finished. At the casino, you can buy chips and also fee ones are provided. Regretfully the chip cannot be cashed to L$.

The arrival area was clouded more than expected. Almost all of them were newcomers, except a few mentors.

Maybe because the initial avatar was selected appropriately, they could end up with the same ones. This person is total stranger to me.

The initial avatars can be selected now. Click “Avatar”, “Complete Avatar” (for FS, “Choose an Avatar”), then more than 50 avatars will be available. They seem not to be mesh, but different from the old ones, they are somewhat cool. The faces are almost identical but they can be edited easily. I came to the usual meeting area, and someone said, “Temi became a bit sexier”. Does it mean that I am so poor usually?

SL Nostalgia
While having a chat over old times, Miruru wanted to visit the first area when she started SL. So, I looked back to the past. This is when I started SL in 2007. There was a building with several floors explaining the SL. This could be the last stage.

The first step into the SL. This is still in the welcome area, but I had the great thrill and pleasure to be able to walk around freely. Although TV games with open world are popular now, at that time most games were to follow the designated routs with map change for each stage.

Amazingly, it was possible to fly freely at the first stage! I thought I was flying around all the day

The day was declining. I did not know that it was possible to change the sun position, so I was watching the sun went down to the night.

A cute hummingbird came in. This was the first pet I bought when I got my house. I was filled with joyful expectations of various animals and persons I would meet in the SL.

A futuristic corner I did not see the meaning, but this also built up my expectation for the new world.

It will start the actual SL world by cricking this sign, but I was stepping backward and hard to touch it. I stayed at the beginner area for more than a week. But I did not recall where I got by touching this. It could be said that I was tossed about in the waves. How is it the beginner center now? I will report it in the next article.
