"Senescence or biological aging is the gradual deterioration of functional characteristic in living organisms. The word senescence can refer to either cellular senescence or to senescence of the whole organism."
To be in power longer...
The Society must be terrified of senescence and very desperate to find me, one of the last remaining Time Wytch. And what to make of their man? He was peculiar inventor who thought he could could infuse the Time Magick with his inventions. So arrogant, and tinkering with things beyond his comprehension.
I admit, I was intrigued. And very much swayed by the pretty pennies offered for my silence and cooperation. More if the commission was a success. No expense was spared by the society. Quite commendable
However, when the portal burst alive, it was not what we intended.
I suppose a more important question is, What did the portal open?
I remember the scent of the stale steam fumes on rooftops, drifted by the crisp late fall winds.
I remember the silence echoing in the dead night barely lit by the moon.
I remember the chill even before he appeared.
In silence, he had appeared behind me. With a split second intent to end me.
"It would be such a shame if the information you provide next became your last words,"
In that split second breath I took, I knew who I was dealing with.
Monsieur Bleu, owner of the peculiar but famous avant-garde themed ballet theater with equally peculiar guests.
"I was wondering why the Lupo Clan were targeting you, Monsieur Bleu, I had simply overheard their conversation at the pier whilst I was gathering my package of tea,"
Amused blink, the man took his time to process my words,
Slight smirk, he answered,
"Ah, fetching up a package of tea during a night stroll I presume?" Flirtatious smile, I replied,
"It was a special blend of Moon Flower leaves, it's very delicate to the sunlight,"
And in another breath I added,
"Much like yourself now, Monsieur Bleu?"
His face took a pleased features,
"Perhaps I am, Madame Spy,"
"Not many survives with this knowledge of mine, thread carefully with the next words,"
I remember taking a nervous puff, a slight hysteric laugh almost escapes my lips as I turn to face him, unwilling to have my back vulnerable,
"I wish for a trade, Monsieur, your protection for my information and my silence"
Perhaps he knew he is not getting much from my silence.
Perhaps he was intrigued and wish to observe like an audience in his theater.
Perhaps I am foolish to strike a deal of a monster of the night.
Perhaps, however, he could be my trump card future times.
The Engine Room has reached half time! Some designers have put out more items for sale at their booths. You dollz can check the catalog to see the extra products. This idea took a bit too long to flesh out for me. ^^;
Highlight of the picture is beautiful detailed Dornenburg Scene Skybox made by Varonis. Every nook and cranny of this skybox is so detailed down to the every fallen leaves. While it has a high land impact, the texture details are worth it especially for photography scene. The outfit I'm wearing are pieces from Abigale gacha made by devious Mind in the event. There are a lot colour combination with the shirts, skirts, buckles and boots with lots of frills. The Evangeline hat and hair combination is by Raven Bell, with the hat can be worn separately or fancy decor. There are several fancy color combo hud for the hair as well as for the hat to change the general parts like the hat, under hat and the ribbons. The weapon I'm brandishing is the Prototype - Revolver created by [Val/More] with 2 general theme for the gun. The bow can be turn off or on depending on the scene you play. It has animated bullet that can be equipped for added immersions and a cool idle animation, spinning and tossing the gun in the air. What Monsieur Bleu is wearing can be check in DevinVaugh's blog which I will credit down along with the rest of my own credits. I'll see you dollz in the next post~

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!
Arabelle is a girl with great gifts. She is born from a normal family but ever since childhood her parents have noticed the strange things that caused by Arabelle. Animals naturally flocked around her and she always liked to explore the forest. Of course as a toddler her mother would not let her go exploring alone but after a few years she reluctantly allows as long as Arabelle returns home safely for dinner. As she grew up, so does her power too. She practice her gift when she is alone in the forest and slowly getting better in controlling her vision gift. That is, until one day a random kid from the town saw her private session while hunting for animals in the forest. The kid saw how she was able to conjure a butterfly from thin air and how the wolves interact with her like she is one of the pack. It was the age where witches are frowned upon and banished from their homes. Terrified, the kid ran back to town to inform the mayor. Not long after, the towns people went marching for Arabelle's family home, demanding them to surrender the witch. But Arabelle was ready, she knew this event would happen so she cast a spell to make the townspeople forget her existence, including her family. And then she fled deeper into the forest. She settled down in an abandoned cottage, living by herself and her fellow animal friend. At times when she receive terrible visions, she would write letters to kingdoms informing them. Whether they heed her warning, it's their choice. After all she is more than happy now than before.

Dahlia may not remember her past, but she now has a family member who keeps an eye on her in the unlife. Sylvia Noir, shares the same fate as the innocent doll. She acts as the big sister to Dahlia. Apart from the horns sprouting from her head, and the same mark on her hand, Sylvia is able to walk in both light and dark. She wandered in the dark for a very long time until she stumbled upon Dahlia. The doll immediately called her 'sister' and followed her everywhere. Sylvia at first was annoyed by her presence, but soon started to protect her when the Hunters seem to prey on her.

There's a lot stores around and so much dark fashion to indulge! I'm having a mini heart attack with all the pretty stuff. I wanna blog them all! But patience, I'll get to that in more posts coming up! until then my dollz~
Fairelands Junction was known for beautiful floral sites. The flowers bloomed
all year long. If you walk through the forest, you’ll definitely
walk out smelling like flowers for weeks. Animals lived there by
abundance and in harmony. Not many knew that it was the works of
Persephone, daughter of Demeter, the Mother Nature herself. She
especially tends Junction since it’s her most favourite place of all Faire Land.
One
day, as she walked through the forest like she always does every day,
she felt an unfamiliar dead air coming from Mourningvale Thicket. The aura reeked of the scent of death. The animals all quickly burrowed into the earth to hide as soon as they caught the scent. Curiously,
she made her way to Mourningvale Thicket, following the dead scene and she meet with a barren-looking land that she knew was a warehouse for harvested
corps. Persephone found a man in a black robe walking away from the
scene. Every step he took wilts the plants around him. Being the
caretaker of nature herself, she gasped horridly and chased after the
mysterious man.
“Wait!”
He didn't even flinch, Persephone can almost hear his angry mutterings
under his breath.
“Stop
right there you Grumpy Toga!!” He finally stopped walking and
turned around to face her.
Hades,
as what he told her, was looking for the source of why souls didn't travel to the Underworld. She decided right there and then to help
him and he agreed, after a long argument of course. She won after she
made points that Hades knew nothing of the world living, seeing that
he never left that gloomy world of his. He would never find answers
with his grumpy attitude and he doesn't fit in with that gloomy
attire! People would run away at the sight of himself! And finally
since everything he touch will die, she felt obligated to be at his
side to revive them if ever he slipped and accidentally killed anyone.
"You can't! Anything you touch will die! I'll come with you in case there is any trouble. Besides, you're not exactly charming. No one will tell you anything,"
Persephone
took Hades to a nearby gypsy camp to disguise themselves. It would be
easier to travel around since gypsies are known to have mystical and
weird members and so Persephone thought Hades would blend in so well.
She tried her best to change his bizarre blue skin but somehow ended
up with a light violet skin. Persephone giggled gleefully as she
fixed Hades’ hair into dreadlocks and placed cute eye-bows that she
thought would neutralize his grumpy look. Hades was still being
grumpy and scowling the whole time, knowing that he would not like
one bit of his new makeover made by the weirdly cheerful woman.

She was the eldest child, meaning that she will be the next to rule the kingdom after her mother. It wasn't easy. Seeing that she was a rebellious little child that loved to spent more time playing with her little brothers. Until the time has come for the Queen to start training her, the young princess was given chance to do whatever she wants. She was never to leave the castle ground of course. Months turn to years, the young princess bloomed wonderfully and the Queen started to feel that it's time to begin her training. They start slowly, first changing her dreadful fashion taste to sophisticated fashion sense fit for a princess. They have a long way to go.

Hello again dollz, if some of you are my friend from Plurk, then you might knew what happened last week. My close aunt died and my mom picked me up later at night to rush back to hometown. It was the second death in my experience and it kinda sets me in a thick emotional blanket that I haven't felt like for a while. At least this time, I recovered a tad bit faster than before and now I'm presenting a dedicational post for my lovely aunt who has gone forever.
She was lovely woman and I really regret not fulfilling my promise to visit last month, something came up during the last minute and we had to cancel it, sadly. She has been suffering from diabetics for a long time now and nearly had her legs amputated. Now somehow I felt relieved that she is free from pain. I became more aware of things that I neglected and not giving my all. I will try to improve myself to fulfill promises to my mother and other living souls.
