The game of Celestial Jade is supposed to have been around since the days of the Primeval Imperium, but was lost during the Xianzhou Alliance's period of long interstellar drift. Thanks to an anonymous diviner at the Divination Commission, the rules have been collated and brought back to modern-day Xianzhou, where the people are fortunate enough to have access to this mind-boggling tile game based on astrophysics and celestial phenomena.
Of course, rules alone are not enough. That's why the diviner used blueprints from her repository as bait to lure in close colleagues from the Artisanship Commission into crafting Celestial Jade tiles plus a board to play on. The auto-shuffling function is integrated into these boards, and quickly began to catch on in the Quatraboard Games Parlor (which is owned by the Artisanship colleague).
Nowadays, Celestial Jade is one of the most popular games aboard the Xianzhou Luofu. The diviner would joke about this in letters sometimes with her artisan friend. She'd originally wanted to use this game for nothing more than her own leisure, not to capture the hearts of millions of Xianzhou people. Now that's a completely unintended outcome.
"Well, it's not a bad thing..."
"After all... If I can use this leisurely brain game to slack off out in the open, then why not go for it?"
QingQue - Honkai: Star Rail
Yes this is a direct inspiration of the character QingQue from the new game Honkai: Star Rail. It's a turn based game set in a futuristic space travel. If you dollz adore any of that, try out the game and tell me if you like it! I might make more character inspo since I'm head deep in this game right now.
Insomnia Angel has updated the Pansy Gothic Dress to fit Legacy body and you dollz can hit up the redelivery for update or if you were considering the dress before the body update, definitely demo it and try!
Solonance, the House of Mordred, School of Dark Arts, hidden under many incantations that only gives way to those wishing to study the diabolical aptitude of one self. For those who found their proficiency in where many shun away from. For those who only wants to be accepted.
This apostle welcomes you.
A haggard figure, sneakily searching in the Restricted Area of the Old Library. Looking for the one book that could fulfill their undying retaliation. For their family, nothing runs thicker than blood.
Turning into another row of heavily dusty bookshelves, a silhouette was waiting. A familiar silhouette. A quite famed individual in the school. Someone who has high affinity with the Necromancing Arts despite her seemingly innocent attire.
Someone who is has the book that they want, the book with very few copies exist in the world. With a mischievous smile, she offers her own assistance with the forbidden ritual. Only if she was to tag along with the plan until the end.
Peculiar request. But who are they to finally able to take the next step towards revenge?
"A cold blast of wintry cruelness blew into her tiny metal shelter hobbled together of the few thing left intact in the god-forsaken frozen wasteland. Although she knew it was dangerous, lighting a fire could attract killers or rapists, but it was Christmas Eve damn it. What did she have to live for, all alone like this? She built a twig tree and hung makeshift ornaments on it.
Happy memories of her childhood living along the banks of the Mississippi came flooding back. She knelt before twig tree, set it on fire, and prayed, “Papa Noel, …with this light I call to you. Bring kindness to a lost soul on this special night.”
The warmth against her cold exposed flesh felt good. Would this be the last fire she would ever enjoy, or by some miracle would a companion come to rescue her from this loneliness?"
DISCLAMER: This is just a concept advertisement style editing that I wanted to try out. This is just my artistic approach in showcasing the items I want to promote.

And now the fourth round of Engine Room has opened, since the 20th March actually, however real life have been too goddamn busy. I barely had time to sit down and do my creative work. Am breaking some habits to make this work for me, myself and I.
Probably a bit too late for a Lunar New Years themed picture but I still wanted to do one before the month is over. I hope you dollz would love her too~
I wanted to channel my inner witch so much because I missed doing that in the last month, haha. I tried to go for different witch look by combining a bit of gore with the brain in jar and weird shoes. I had more in my mind but this is a quick set-up for it. I have always love to use any opportunity to make fogs obviously.
Highlight of the picture Melinoe Dress made by Bauhaus for the Necrotize event. It comes with a hood and it's own mask but could be hidden by the HUD. I tried to make it work with boots from NCHRGX outfit by HUMAN GLITCH. It's a part of a full outfit and I'm not sure if it would be bought separately. From the event as well, Jarhead Ted by .~Deadly Nightshade~. that animates when attached to the avatar. I hoped the witchy vibes comes through with the Time Collar by ::Static:: that is available for the current round of Enchantment with the Phantom of the Opera theme. Do check them out. Rest of the credits down below and I'll see you dollz in the next post.

The war between factions of the world's fuel will soon begin with the the first spill of Elders from the blasted vampire race.
The Vampire Hunter's Association has decided to pledge alliance with the local werewolf tribe of Sioux Nation.
Where they share the hatred for the same enemy.
Werewolves from the tribe will break open the castle walls for the special hunter team to infiltrate and embed the blessed silver infused grenades in vampires' bodies and blast them to ashes.
Their objective is to kill the Elders.
Jacqueline's mission is to find the whereabouts of the elusive Kaiser Kruel.
And kill him in her own hands.
The scroll she received by the Chief was curious, an original blueprint, that also includes secrets chambers in the castle.
Curious, how did the Chief could obtain such information?
The scroll was ancient.
As ancient as when Kaiser Kruel resides the castle many centuries ago.
Engine Room will be shutting it's steam real soon, so if any of you dollz fancy the items I am displaying, do head down soon to grab it and enjoy the atmosphere of the event. The skybox was made by yours truly, Walton F. Wainwright, the creator of [ContraptioN] as well as one of the founders of the amazing event. The sim is just so pretty to hang out at.
Highlight of the picture is the gorgeous Regius Attire made by Eliavah. The design is especially well made with the theme of the event and fitted for Maiterya, Petite Mait as well as Flat Chest Mait. I know some dollz will love those body fitting options. The fatpack comes with 16 colour options for the jacket fabric, collar belt, panties, 7 colours for the jacket piping and metals. Next is the huge A.S.S.BUNKER weapon by Omise. Definitely a weapon to be reckon with, comes in left or right version, big or small size too. Every part of the weapon is customize with the HUD and it also comes with it's own set of poses to play with! Try a demo and check it out. As this is a collaboration once again with DevinVaugh, there is a slight difference between our picture as he made a slight changes with his attire after I have taken my shoot with him. I will credit the difference changes down below along with the rest of the credits. See you dollz in the post~
On her, Jacqueline of the Vampire Hunter's Association

The calm before the storm. The scent of flower before the ashes. The dainty lights from lights before the fires. The sanctuary safety before it will be ruined.
Everything will be collateral damage when the war clock begun. Strange war to control the world's fuel. To control the evolution. To control the future. To the victor belong the spoils.
I am ready to face that war and win.
After this last smoke and perhaps my latest batch of tea.
The third round of Engine Room is open! For at least more than 10 days now. There are a lot of products this round with mixed steampunk and diesel themed. I'm trying to use more of the decor items in this round so I've been juggling ideas for too long for this starter post. I have a few more idea to flesh out as well as the story to progress. If some of you dollz were with me during Clockwork Spiral time, you dollz might remember the stories of basically Steam vs Diesel that I did some collaborations with my friend Devin. For this scene as well, I had his help by a ton. Most of what you are from his stash. We might be collaborating again in a few posts down in this event. I have played my part in his picture here.
I wish I can write a dedicated highlight paragraph but at the moment my time is a bit too tight. I might return to this and re-edit this. All the credits down below and I'll see you dollz in the next post. Happy October spooks y'all!
