Black Swan

July 13, 2009 — barbarellanoel

The Black Swan sim is now closed, but remains a fond memory

Black Swan. Mysterious. Breathtaking. Amazing. A virtual world wonder. It is more of an experience than a destination. It is artistry. And to prove to you that I can compose more complex sentences, I should tell you that your arrival point may disorient you because it looks nothing like the above picture. You will arrive in a dream like area of blinding white light with a few intriguing props around. It is necessary that you purchase the Black Swan watch or necklace here to gain admittance to the sim, but at $199L its hardly anything at all, and a great bargain for what you will see. Time is also ticking because, you see, Rezzable will soon be shutting down all their sims, except for the Greenies Home sim, and packing up to move to the green OpenSim pastures. This includes their other wonderful sim, Carnival of Doom, as well as several others that I’ve not had the pleasure of visiting. This makes me kinda sad really. That is not to say that I won’t skip over to OpenSim to take a peek once established there. But until then…not sure when, you all should take advantage and check out this and their other sims while you can. Hurry! Because very soon, they won’t be around. Black Swan will be having their last event, a fashion show, starting July 27th called Swan Song. Read here for more info: http://rezzable.com/

When I first arrived, I was dazed and disoriented. It was difficult to know which direction to go…with each step into the blackness I uttered a silent prayer that I wouldn’t plunge into the cityscape below. As I tried to make sense and direction out of the lights, buildings, and chaos about me, I came upon a platform where a sleek motorbike was parked. I jumped onto it but was immediately repelled by the security system. I had to continue walking. I stepped once again into the darkness, only to find myself falling. It was a short fall and I landed on the platform landing of a stairwell. As I picked myself up, I noticed a movement in the darkness…on the stairs above me. I was startled, but couldn’t make out the shape. My heart beat faster…and I decided to keep walking. Out of the corner of my eye the shape took form. It was a man in a dark leather coat. And he had a gun… pointed at me! I suddenly realized how careless it was for me to try to take the bike…it must have sent an alarm to the owner. And now, the owner was here. Tracking me with his gun. “Keep walking” I told myself. I inhaled deeply and took two steps. “Oh my god!” he said. “You’re Leeloo!” I turned around, smiling at him. “Yes” I answered.

True story, by the way! The man put the gun away. His name was Jaco. We chatted a bit. I learned that he resides on the sim and he invited me to join him as he docked his ship. He told me to hop onto the back of his bike and we jetted off. His ship/residence was a dome-shaped structure with AMAZING textures…really, the whole sim is absolutely incredible! Bladerunner, The 5th Element seem to inspire the look of the sim. Jaco sat in the pilot seat and I sat next to him and he carefully maneuvered the ship to the docking station. After a perfect dock, I thanked him for showing me about. He was a real gentleman, that is after he put the gun away

Some serious RP goes on here, but don’t let that intimidate you. Visitors are welcome. This sim is a MUST SEE destination. Truly, one of the best sims in SL. I strongly urge you to visit it! You may meet a new friend like I did.

Greenies Home Rezzable

The mothership is calling! Where else in the world can you dance with aliens, Princess Leia and an assortment of other interesting folks but at Greenies? Today they previewed the spaceship building contest submissions and threw in a little dance party along with it. Fun, festive, and definitely out of this world. If you are unfamiliar with this sim…it’s built in a giant megaprim scale so that all avatars are at face level with….errrrr, cockroaches. Ewwwww! There are many hidden surprises here, things are designed to be explored and interacted with…all with FUN in mind! If you wanna be a little Greenie yourself, head over to the shop for a big selection of alien avatars and other space gadgets. Sooo, pardon me while I go bust a move with Marvin the Martian….
