Tracing the Threads of History and Fantasy

A House of Healing

A House of Healing

One of the buildings in the new Rome Series from Del-ka Aedilis is the Hospital Celsus, a combined residence and hospital for a medicus or healer.  The build features a beautiful garden, for relaxation as well as for growing medicinal plants, flanked by barracks with rooms for patients. At the end is a two-story building serving as a residence for the medicus. The build features PBR textures and the light from the fires illuminates it beautifully.

For a suitable outfit, I decided to make use of the newest release from Rakshasa for We Love Role-Play. The Fineas Camisk is…well, part of a Greek or Roman outfit, with a draped cloth that covers half the body and leaves the rest bare. In contrast to the rich fabric, it is tied with a rope that is matched by the ropes around the wrists. There are also matching laced sandals and those as well as the outfit are available for both male and female avatars. We’ll just say that the medicus of this hospital may believe in a bit of sexual healing as well. ;)

My hair is a brand new release from Raven Bell for the Engine Room. With the floral ornaments removed, I thought it could pass for a Romanesque style. Either way, it is a very pretty updo.

The Marquise’s Pet

The Marquise’s Pet

The Kayra outfit from Ruxy is quite deliciously daring and would be an excellent choice for a dancer or slave girl, or perhaps in a harem. Here, I set up the revamped Marquise armchair from Libertine in Fanatik’s Dungan castle, which comes with the fireplace in the background. The Marquise chair comes in Mature and Adult versions and includes quite a few solo poses as well. It is also texture change, offering Libertine’s usual range of colours.

Adding a touch of mystery is the ornate face mask from Nefekalum, which includes both left and right halves. I liked the way it looks with the long and luscious Everleigh hair, which is a new Truth Collective style from Truth and Wasabi.

Petals on the Wind

Petals on the Wind

The Empire-waisted Lottie gown by Sweet Kajira is made ultra-feminine and ethereal by the partially transparent overskirt. Add to that the fantastical floral headpiece by Zibska, which includes a cloud of floating petals, and you are starting to look very fantastical. Perhaps a bit elven, even? That is why I opted for making use of Tirrany Designs Shadows of Lorien cottage, placing it amidst a rocky landscape created with primarily Fanatik landscaping. All the mentioned pieces, save for the Fanatik landscaping, are new releases at the March round of We Love Role-Play, meaning they can be had at a discount for the duration of the event. In addition to this I am using poses (with more floating petals included) from Stardust. My skin is not new, it is a previous hunt item from alaskametro, but it was recently updated to 2K textures and more tones will be available at the Skin Fair.

Kitchen Chores

Kitchen Chores

It was a chilly morning, the hard floor cold under her feet. She had slipped into a borrowed tunic, too large for her even with a belt wrapped twice around her waist, and gone to the kitchens to stoke the fire.

Constraint’s “Boyfriend Tunic” is a really fun role-play oriented take on the “Boyfriend Shirt”, complete with a too large belt as well. I opted for some rustic colours from the texture hud, to fit in with the medieval-inspired stove and oven from Angelicus. It offers a selection of role-play animations, such as stoking the fire, stirring the stew and sweeping the floor.

My hair is Wasabi’s Gale style, which was a Happy Weekend release for the past weekend. A long, sleek style which covers part of the face in a very seductive way.
