I have a rendezvous with Death At some disputed barricade, When Spring comes back with rustling shade And apple-blossoms fill the air— I have a rendezvous with Death When Spring brings back blue days and fair.
It may be he shall take my hand And lead me into his dark land And close my eyes and quench my breath— It may be I shall pass him still. I have a rendezvous with Death On some scarred slope of battered hill, When Spring comes round again this year And the first meadow-flowers appear.
God knows 'twere better to be deep Pillowed in silk and scented down, Where love throbs out in blissful sleep, Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath, Where hushed awakenings are dear . . . But I've a rendezvous with Death At midnight in some flaming town, When Spring trips north again this year, And I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous.
Alan Seeger
Sometimes I think about Death
Like an old friend that I can't wait to meet

Being the owner of Steam Beans, peculiar customers would flock from all crook and crannies of the city. She would of course provide them with much needed dark liquid boost of the day or much requested dark liqueur that promises the sweet numbness to forget the day.
She hears it all from the loose mouths of the boozed patrons, from the piping's of the city, from the whisper over the steam beans.
There's not much that would surprise her.
That is until the newsboy came in bursting through the door, sweating profusely between some nasty gashes on his face, panting and jittering like he had seen the Devil himself.
Fearing the worst, she helped him sit over the counter and took out the exclusive bottles of Coffee Liqueur to help him calm down and listen to his story.
Already missing to create more Steampunk styles. Also this scene practically made itself while me and Devin bantering in-world. Kudos to our chaotic twin brain cells lmao
Brair definitely does not want this. She is very much content to spend her whole life in the cozy library in her family's mansion. However, her age has slowly catching up and now as much as her family support the decision as they also cherish the youngest daughter of the famed Queen's Knight family. If she doesn't get a suitor by the end of the Season, she would be gossiped among the elites as an old maid and Brair doesn't have the hearts to tarnish the family's name in such way.
She wanted the masquerade themed gathering as she doesn't want to be the center of attention. She had enough of other patrons trying selfishly win her favor by white lies or outlandish remarks. Hopefully she do find a person that would allow her to continue with her extended reading hour.
As she nervously walked towards the grand door while fiddling with the ruffles of her dress, following the latest dark fabric fashion of the Season, she noticed a tall man with long white cape and a curious white hair in the hallway. Brair thought all of the patrons should be in the ballroom now, mingling around.
"Hello Brair, it is certainly nice to finally meet you,"
Brair has never seen the man before, she is sure. But he seem familiar.
He moved closer to her while holding something in his hand. Slowly, he thrust it towards her.
"I came back to give you this glass heart representing my own. I wish to court for your hand, Miss Brair."
The year been so far so good for myself, slowly sticking to a schedule. We have 2 events upcoming that I will be covering as well, so do stay tune for that. I do hope I could blog as best as I can within the event duration. Stay safe dollz and see you in the next post~

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~
