Why has the "What Are You Looking For" group grown to 130 members in a year? Well, there is this recent post by Tainted Angel:

"I have over 60 free oars that I give away free, and I'm always adding more. Most buildings are furnished as well. I use Dreamgrid and they'll work for opensim and secondlife. As long as you can upload an oar, there's plenty to choose from. Hope this helps".

Join us for our second year. Tell us what you are looking for. And, best of all, help people find what they are looking for.

Anyone up for a Halloween Maze?? Come on over to Pendle Hollow! We have the spookiest Maze in open sim! Can you make it through aliv.....I mean....without getting lost?? While you are here, check out Pixey's Costume shop! There are costumes there that she has made for you from items collected around open sim and she has retextured them and made new and exclusive outfits for you! Happy Halloween!

Old concrete walls exude a rugged charm, their surfaces marked by time and the elements. Pitted with irregular holes, these imperfections create a textured landscape that catches the light in interesting ways. Stains of various hues—rusty browns, faded greens, and deep grays—tell stories of weathering and wear, as moss and lichen cling stubbornly to the cracks. The rough, mottled surface feels cool to the touch, while the air carries a faint, earthy scent of dampness and age. Each blemish and discoloration adds character, transforming the wall into a canvas of history, where every mark holds a memory of its past.

My most recent build for our Japanese themed region. The Watatsumi Pagoda Temple. It isn't completely finished as I need to add doors and furnishings but otherwise it is complete. If you love Japanese culture and history you may well enjoy this region and the things we've built like the emperor's palace and courtyard garden, the samurai house and some Japanese houses that are beautiful and simplistic in harmony with the land. There are shrines where one can relax and meditate and paths that lead to interesting things. Drop in and enjoy a self guided tour on horseback if you like. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Chapter 11 - Maeia from my book Eos Renascent is now on Wattpad. You can read it here for free: https://www.wattpad.com/story/176823549-eos-renascent

“Hello little one,” Maeia addressed the apparition waiting for her. The girl appeared prepubescent, with long dark hair and stunning gold eyes. She didn’t answer, gazing instead into Maeia’s face with shameless curiosity. “You’re a little bold for a phasma,” Maeia continued, using the name her order called these embodied memories. Other phasma continued to walk near them and through them.

“And what would your name be if you were real, I wonder?” Maeia asked, not expecting an answer. Sure enough, she didn’t get one, just more of the same intensely curious stare. “Well, regardless, lead on, take me where you will.”

I’ll call you Leta, she thought to herself, the hidden one.

Leta turned to go, and without looking, reached out her left hand to take Maeia’s in hers. Maeia froze in stunned amazement, staring down at the small hand in hers.

I can feel her hand, she thought. That shouldn’t be possible.

Chapter 10 - Amaranthine from my book Eos Renascent is now on Wattpad. You can read it here for free: https://www.wattpad.com/story/176823549-eos-renascent

“I…I..” he stammered, unable to find words for what he was experiencing.

These are not your past,” she said gently, “these are all you, now, in this moment.” She let go of his hands. “You will not remember it all, but you will remember the feelings and the longings, the love and companionship. They will carry you to fulfill your purpose.”

“I don’t want to leave,” he tried to say, as the beautiful scene slowly faded then disappeared.

Lukas found himself back at the gathering in the temple with the Amaranthine, unaware of the angry crowd around him. He felt the fog descend over his mind once more and it saddened him. Falling to his knees, he looked up into her eyes as she reached down to touch his cheek.

“Always remember, Lukas, you only see what you're looking for. When you want only love, you will see nothing else.”

I had some time to play with PBR thank you @FerdFrederix for suggesting I try it, and as you can see it makes the jewelry look so much better!! Nice! But that means I have my work cut out for me, I have lots of jewelry to update. I will have a PBR section at the store, keeping the old classic textures because not all grids support PBR, this is the first piece I will get it in the store today sometime, Celtic Knot Picture Locket.

With each step deeper into the cavern, the light from my lantern flickered against the damp walls, revealing eerie formations of stone that looked like frozen screams. Shadows danced as I moved, and the air thickened with an otherworldly presence. Just as I began to settle into the rhythmic sound of my footsteps echoing, the temperature plummeted. A sudden draft swept through, carrying with it a sense of dread.

My breath came out in visible puffs as I instinctively tightened my grip on the lantern. Then, through the thickening fog, a figure emerged. It was a ghost—a wrinkled, semi-transparent apparition with hollow eyes and an anguished expression that seemed carved from the very essence of fear. Its mouth opened wide in a silent scream, and the air around it shimmered with an unnatural energy.

Before I could react, a wave of exhaustion washed over me. I felt my energy being pulled from my body, like a magnet drawing metal. It was as if the ghost was siphoning the very life force from me, its expression a mix of longing and despair.
