Snuggling

snuggles

Today was as sweet for Seraphim, as yesterday was strange…

snuggles2

… she has her delicious little machine girl back…

snuggles3a

… they spent a blissed-out time snuggling, for the first time for months…

snuggles4

… EV-01 is a sweet little machine, and quite guileless, so when she explained her recent strange behaviour to Seri, said it was all without any cruel intent, Seri totally accepted her explanation…

snuggles5a

… and forgave Evie completely…

snuggles6a1

… and they spent a long time tangled in each others limbs…

snuggles7a

… and being very happy…

snuggles8

… and tangled together, snuggling.

Strange Day

Today has been one of the stranger days Seraphim has experienced. She spent most of the day tweaking her new gallery, and hanging out with Bunnygirl…

StrangeDay7

… she took some pictures for Bunny to use in her ‘picks’…

StrangeDay

… later her kitten and her hung out in the main gallery, where she is showing some of the pictures from her shoot with Bunnygirl. She hasn’t actually physically seen her kitty for a few days, due to her kitten’s human only being able to access SL from her mobile phone, causing Zoey to not actually be able to TP, and being stuck in a friends place that her friend has no control over the security at, and hence Seri could not TP to the friends place. Anyway, this meant Seri had some stuff to show Zoey, starting with the new pictures…

StrangeDay2

… then they went to the new gallery…

StrangeDay3

… which delighted Zoey…

StrangeDay4

… Zoey had remarked on how Bunnygirl looked like a super-hero, and she thought that Tee, in the gallery sign, looked like one, too… which hadn’t occurred to Seri, but she totally agreed…

StrangeDay6

… which is when things turned strange. Seri was contacted by RobotNicole, someone she’s never physically met, before, but knows through brief communication, back when she first met EV-01, because RobotNicole was EV-01’s previous owner, who had basically abandoned Evie, and Seri had to negotiate becoming Evie’s new owner. Seri told RobotNicole that she had just opened a gallery here… RobotNicole lives above Coghaven, and had seen Seri’s name on her radar, so she said ‘hello’, when Seri told her she had just opened a gallery, which had pictures of Evie in it, RobotNicole said she’d be right down. After they had greeted, Seri said she hadn’t actually seen Evie for months, and RobotNicole said ‘She’s online now’… this totally floored Seri, as all her screens told her Evie was not on line. Seri asked why RobotNicole thought this, and, at the same time, re-checked every possible indicator of Evies online status, which still said she was not online. Zoey asked Seri for Evies contact details… and almost instantly contacted Evie…

StrangeDay5

… this was a worst-case-scenario, as it showed Evie had unchecked the indicators that would let Seri know she was back. Seri was crestfallen. She asked Zoey to ask Evie to contact her… and suddenly, Seri’s indicators showed Evie to be online. Seri and Evie had a long, strange conversation. Turned out, Evie had come back to SL on Friday, having been away for months… for some reason, unfathomable to Seri, Evie had made herself invisible to Seri, so she could roam about on her own… something Seri had never stopped her from doing. Because of the totally random combination of Seri just opening a gallery in Coghaven, and RobotNicole noticing she was there, Seri had found out Evie was secretly online! Evie was very apologetic, saying she realised she had been thoughtless and cruel, promising to come home soon. Seri said Evie could roam as much as she wanted, that she had never stopped her from doing so. The whole thing was very strange, very out of character for Evie. It was a strange way to get her girl back. She’s not actually that convinced that she has got her girl back. A very strange day.

Bunnygirl

BunnyGirl

The moment Seraphim saw her little friend, s4nura’s latest look, she told her she would have to get her in to the studio very soon…

BunnyGirl2a

… which she did, just after setting up her new Coghaven gallery…

BunnyGirl3

… Seri told s4 she looked like a super-hero, in her new outfit, and christened her ‘Bunnygirl’…

BunnyGirl4

… submissive pleasure-doll that she is, s4 decided that Bunnygirl would be the kind of super-hero who would come bounding to the rescue…

BunnyGirl5a1

… only to get over-powered and captured by the villain/villains…

BunnyGirl6a

… and be totally at their lascivious mercy…

BunnyGirl7a

… the narrative in Seri’s head had the villains being slaughtered by a 4000 year old immortal alien, and the cute little bunny being freed to bounce again (:

Coghaven Gallery

CogHavenGala

Seraphim, with the help of her sweet little friend, s4nura, has set up another little satellite gallery, this time in Coghaven…

CogHavenGal2

… while Seraphim set the gallery up, s4 set herself up as a display at the door…

CogHavenGal3

… literally within minutes, s4’s barely-clad, voluptuous form had attracted a besotted admirer…

CogHavenGal4

… Seraphim enjoyed creating the new space…

CogHavenGal5

… Coghaven is home to the ACS controller, which is the alternative to the NS controller system most gynoids use… this means the general traffic here will actually know what Seri’s art is about, and may appreciate it more than the traffic she gets in Jormundgandr, or in her first satellite gallery at Pink Lady Castle…

CogHavenGal6

… Seri has put out feelers toward getting a gallery space in Eisa, but has not heard anything back, yet.

Ephemeral Destination

When Seraphim cannot find anywhere interesting to visit in the dashboard ‘Destination Guide’, she goes to the oldest entries in her ‘Teleport History’, and clicks them, one after another, till she has had enough re-exploring for one day. Given the ephemeral nature of literally everything in SL, the destinations often no-longer exist…

… and she arrives on ‘abandoned land’… sometimes high in the sky…

… where she’ll look briefly around and say to herself ‘oh, well, thats gone…’…

… sometimes it’s under water…

… but, usually, it’s on empty land…

… the all-to-familiar, totally empty land…

… which is what she thought had happened, yet again, today, when she landed in a seemingly endless, very shallow sea…

… but she quickly realised that the land still bore the name of her intended destination. A quick ‘search’ of the destination, and she discovered it was now in the sky above her. Seri spent quite a while just wondering around the shallow ocean, it was something she’s not seen in SL, before… she may deliberately come back soon, with her kitty, for photographs (:

Lullaby

Seraphim recently visited Cica Ghost’s Lullaby…

… as with all Ghost’s work, Seraphim found an environment that looked like Dr. Seuss and Hieronymus Bosch had taken acid together, come up with, then got one of Irwin Allen’s Lost in Space set designers to build…

… a kind of Disney-like…

… dark-kawaii, happy nightmare…

… with cute/creepy creatures with bulging eyes…

… in a globular environment…

… of alien plants…

… all bathed in an aquatic light.

Hanging with a Kitten

The other day, Seraphim saw a review on the indefatigable Inara Pey’s blog, for the SG33E RoadRunner… the moment she saw it, she saw herself and her baby on it… so, the first thing she did after her baby logged on, this morning, was take her for a spin around their neighbourhood… Zoey Zoe Zoe loved it!…

… then Seraphim took her kitty to Lutz City, as she’d been wanting to do, all week… ZZZ loved the place from the moment she laid eyes on it…

… this was Seraphim’s third visit, and she still found new places to explore…

… even places for a bit of raunchy dancing…

… Lutz City is very beautiful, the perfect place to take your baby…

… seeing how much ZZZ was enjoying herself filled Seraphim’s loving, alien heart…

… it was a very enjoyable outing.

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.

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.
