So what have I been up to lately? I guess even vampires enjoy the holidays because the past few weeks have been very quiet. It gave me the time to hang out with friends and enjoy the more peaceful parts of Second Life.
Lately, I've been fishing...playing the 7Seas fishing game in SL to be exact. I guess it appeals to the part of me that likes pets and finding cool little baubles. For 7Seas, all you really do is enter a command (or use one of the those gestures that lets you auto-fish for a bit,) sit there, and wait to see what kind of goodies you fish up. They can be mundane fish, or silly ones, or swimsuits, or parts to make fishing items like boats, etc.
Some 7seas fishing spots (run by other players with the 7seas equipment) have unique items ("custom catches") that you can only catch at that specific location. The place I'm at right now is called SkyBeam Tradewaters in TempsPerdu, home of Twilight Fishing/Twilight Creations. I have no clue what's around the sim besides the dock because honestly, right now I'm just here for the fish. Well really, for the mermaids.
There is a mermaid themed fishing rod called the Mermaid Undersea Fishing Rod that you can only find at Twilight. I've been trying to fish it up for the last three days, with no luck. I've fished up the Nebula Star Fishing Rod (in the pic above,) the Ensorcelled Bone Fishing Rod, and the Pyroclastic Lava Fishing Rod, but apparently the cruel gods of the sea enjoy giving me everything but that which I really want. I guess because it's a SuperUltraRare find, and my fishing skill level is really, really low--I thought I was doing well when I reached level 6 today, until just a few moments later a fellow fisher next to me hit level 33. Sigh. But that's okay, because here at Twilight I've also been hauling up other custom catches like their mermaid pets.
Now, for you more sensitive fishers out there, I feel I have to tell you that these mermaids are healthy gals. And by healthy I mean busty. And by busty I mean they swim around with back-punishing sets of chest cannons that would make Dolly Parton proud. Twilight puts disclaimers into the mermaid boxes when you fish them up and labels them as "Rated R". I felt a little naughty hauling them out of the water, but just a little. But for those of you that know me or have just seen my pics, well, you know. Glass houses and all that ^.^
So, this particular mermaid to the right is the Puffermaid in the Red-Gold variety. She's chatty and has silly things to say every now and then, which you can turn on or off. And speaking of things that can be off, she can go topless. Also, being a Puffermaid, she share something in common with the puffer fish, in that she can puff out parts of her body when she is scared every so often.
I'll let you guess which parts she puffs. ^.~
My favorites are the MerMilkMaids and the Naughy Schoolmaids, which I definitely can't post pics of here. And if you can fish up the blueprint and the parts for it, you can even make a MerMech Cybermaid.
As I type this, I'm still trying to catch the Mermaid Undersea Fishing Rod. I guess I should take a break. Sitting on this dock crate is making my butt sore.
