#EngineRoom Archives - Ava's Chronicles in SecondLife

Real Steampunk

I’m breaking from my norm today and including some Real Life in my post. Last weekend I was at a Steampunk Festival, a real one, near where I live. It was the first time there’s been one near me, so it’s the first one I’ve attended too, it was amazing.

People went to so much effort with their costumes and some fun entertainment. I only attended for one afternoon but there was events running the whole weekend, so next year I’ll be attending more.

(Yes, that is a lifesize Dalek and a TARDIS in the corner!)

Event Website: Isle of Wight Steampunk Festival

In Second Life meanwhile the steampunk themed Engine Room event had opened the day before. So inspired from the Festival I went on a shopping spree and put together this outfit to put myself virtually into the header photo of the actual event.

PixelBox HAS A SALE ON!

As one of my favourite steampunk/gothic stores, I couldn’t help but to shout about it and put one of their outfits together to show you. In fact they have stuff on sale in multiple places right now. At the Mainstore and on Marketplace they have their Fall Sale where everything is 99L$. On top of that everything at their Halloween Shop & Hop booth is 50% off.

The Halloween Shop & Hop closes on 5th November, but the Mainstore sale doesn’t close until the 15th, so you have plenty of time to grab a bargain!

I think I’ll be bringing you a few more PixelBox outfits in the near future!

The Time Machine

Relaxing in the balcony lounge of the Old Caladar club she ponders on recent events. There’s been a lot of visitors in outlandish or just plain strange garb lately in the City. Not that she can talk, her attire for attending the club tonight was perhaps better suited to a performer than an customer, but the management didn’t object so long as she kept buying drinks. She wonders where all these strangers come from and where they go to afterwards, not many of them seem dressed for travelling a great distance. Has some mad professor actually managed to make some kind of time travel device? Maybe it’s not so reliable, since the visitors have been seen to vanish into thin air, as if sucked out of existence..or back to their own time perhaps?

Location: The Old Caladar , Drune Diesel
