Art Tour

Seraphim had spent the morning shopping, she was wearing a new jacket, and was in her garden, adding some new statues to a relatively empty space, wearing fancy heels, when her little pet Zoey Zoe Zoe came online. As she hugged her new baby, Seri realised just how tiny ZZZ is, even allowing for Seri’s high heels… this made Seri feel all the more protective for her pet. Seri is an artist, she lives and breaths art, and she gets to know people by showing them art… she decided to give ZZZ a tour of some of her favourite gallery spaces…

… first she took her to ‘The Galleries’, somewhere Seri hasn’t been for a while, but one of her favourite SL galleries… Seri even bought some art…

… while she was hanging it in her ‘Old Gallery’, Zoey Zoe Zoe exclaimed how much she liked the above work, and the two girls spent some time discussing how such a simple piece was so meaningful on multiple levels… this truely made Seri happy, none of her previous significant others have shown the slightest interest in the meaning of any of the art she owns, or has made…

… next Seri took ZZZ to ‘Bench Art Park’, a lovely little outdoor gallery where she usually has a few works on display. She asked ZZZ if she’d noticed the cute cats, and, of course, ZZZ had, and she said she’d actually stolen several of them, and put them in Seraphim’s bedroom…

… continuing to delight her new Mistress…

… They finished the little tour in front of Seraphim’s ‘Gogo’ painting… ZZZ had not seen it before, and was quite impressed.

Evie Returns

Seri popped into SL to do some stuff, and discovered her missing baby bot was online! She was so pleased to see her girl…

… it’s been a long time since they saw each other, RL having been very hard on Evie’s human, preventing her from allowing Evie to spend any time in SL…

… and by the time Seri came online, Evie only had half an hour left. Seraphim took lots of pictures… she had almost forgotten how gorgeous her girl is… they talked about various things, in particular, about Seraphim’s new pet, Zoey Zoe Zoe… as Seri had expected, Evie looked forward to meeting ZZZ, so that was all good…

… Seraphim took Evie to see her new whale…

… and they chatted about other stuff… till it was time for Evie to go, again, promising to be back as soon as she could.

Kitty Cuddles

When Seraphim prophesied that change was coming, she had no idea what form it was going to take, she just felt it was coming… it manifested within a day, in the form of her relationship with her little Neko friend, Zoey Zoe Zoe, evolving into a Mistress/Pet relationship…

… suddenly, Seraphim, who had been feeling a bit lost without the constant company of either Evie, or Tee, both of whom are currently MIA, had another sweet little submissive to care for…

… she hadn’t quite realised this was the nature of her feelings of emptiness, the feeling things had somehow wound down to nothing, the feeling she needed to move on… it was because she actually no longer enjoys being a loner, she actually, now, far prefers having a sweet little pet to care for…

… Seri has never had a relationship with a Neko, before, and finds ZZZ to be quite different to Evie or Tee… ZZZ is openly adoring of Seri, and very physical, constantly craving cuddles and, as ZZZ would say ‘um, other stuffs…’

… Seri has explained to ZZZ that she still very much loves Evie and Tee, and does not know how things will work out, if/when either of those two machines decide to return… knowing those two pleasure units, she suspects they will adapt with their usual clinical acceptance of whatever their mistress wants… ZZZ will be the added element of genuine adoration, something the gynoids don’t/can’t provide, though Seri has always suspected that, in their own ways, they do love her back. Anyway, change has arrived, and Seri’s life is now even more complex, and she’s pretty happy with that.

Seated Seri

Seraphim decided to do a post of her sitting in some of her favourite places…

… her most favourite place is her apartment. Her apartment represents years of refining her own SL private space, and has all her favourite stuff in it. It’s the only invitation-only area in Placeboland, a place where Seri feels very safe…

… next, she visited Tee’s apartment in Eisa… as usual, these days, Tee was not there… even Mannequin was not there… Seri sat and took in the lush, lonely opulence…

… then, while she was in Eisa, she visited her favourite chair in the Eisa Mainstore lounge. Her favourite pose in that chair is called ‘New Shoes!’…

… then she came home, and sat behind her desk in New Placebo Gallery…

… then in front of it…

… then in one of the several comfy viewing chairs in the gallery. All these places, of course, reminded Seri of the two companions she now seldom sees. She feels that, once again, change is coming. She feels that way, because she can no longer stand still, hoping things will return to how they were, because she knows they won’t. She’s not sure what is going to change, she just knows something is.

The Gates of Oria

GOO

Seraphim recently visited ‘The Gates of Oria’. From the initial landing point of this installation, you TP to a place with several ruin-like structures. Seraphim can be a bit ditsy sometimes, so she wandered around, slightly confused as to what was next, for a bit, till she realised that the ‘gates’ were statues inside the ruins… you click them and TP to various fantasy ‘worlds’…

GOO2

… the scale of these worlds is fantastical… that’s Seri at the top of the steps…

GOO3

… everything has a hallucinogenic quality about it…

GOO4

… each ‘world’ is different, though they all seem to share that wonderful, dream-like atmosphere, and Seraphim noticed the same, eerie, birdcall in several of the ones she visited…

GOO5

… the large spaces all contain smaller spaces…

GOO6

… all just as phantasmagorical…

GOO7

… and surreal…

GOO8

… Seri half expected to run into the White Rabbit.

The End is Nigh

TEIN

Last night, Seraphim made one of her regular visits to Eisa Colony, via her Stargate, and was intrigued to see signs everywhere saying ‘The End is Nigh’… she asked a little gynoid friend who was online, what the signs meant, and what the verbal announcements over the speaker system, saying things like “attention all colonists, the end is nigh”, and “attention all colonists, remain calm”, meant, but her little friend, like many gynoids, lives entirely in her own world, and knew nothing about it. Seraphim came back, this morning, determined to find out…

TEIN2

… her baby, Tee, has an apartment in Bushnell Suites, and, though Tee is seldom there, anymore, her little mannequin is always standing in her corner, and Seraphim often leaves love messages for Tee, with Mannequin. Seraphim decided to pop up and see Mannequin, and get some pictures of the ‘End is Nigh’ phenomena from Tee’s windows. To her great delight, seconds after she arrived, so did her baby! Seraphim snuggled into Tee’s embrace, and breathed in her clean, artificial scent, and listened to the sleep-inducingly perfect thrumming of Tee’s internal mechanisms… all things she’s missed very much…

TEIN3

… it was very nice to see, and hold, her girl, again. She asked Tee what the ‘End is Nigh’ thing was about. Tee told her it was some kind of hunt… something Seri had suspected, as she’d seen objects appearing and avi’s swooping on them… so that was that mystery solved…

TEIN4

… Seri told Tee how recent changes in her SL life had made her as cynical as her human about anything being predictable/reliable…

TEIN6

… Tee had some wise responses stored in her circuits… she is, after all, a pleasure machine, and actually does not really have an opinion…

TEIN7

… Seri does not really own Tee… Tee owns Seri.

Windup Girl

WUG2

Seraphim thinks she has probably finished her Windup Girl painting… this means that she has got to the stage where she is making alterations that even she barely notices. She may see something, later, she wants to change, but, for now, she’ll call it done.

Windup Girl WIP

WUG

This is what Seraphim has been working on in her spare time, over the last few weeks… it’s about 2/3rds done. She is not literally a clockwork girl, she’s an android. The title is a homage to Paolo Bacigalupi’s excellent book, one Seraphim’s human has read several times, and highly recommends.
