Sredni Eel's Second Life Blogs Cthulhu is sitting on your shoulder, shattering your mind
Posted 9/8/2010 4:24:57 PM 
I decided to take a break from hunting in the Twisted Hunt, mainly because all I see are little orange boxes. They're everywhere. They're giving me nightmares.
Rather than deal with that mess, Shoulder Cthulhu needed to be born. So I concocted a few noxious substances, mainly from the fish tank and from a nearby swamp, added a few choice bits, and finally this little guy was hatched out of a mud egg.
He's just a fun little Elder God who sits quietly on your shoulder, shattering your mind. He's well trained, so he probably won't eat you.
He's currently sitting in a box next to all the new stuff near the landing point in my store. Should you have the courage to adopt one, the cost us 50L.
I take no responsibility for shredded body parts, or any nighttime "accidents".
Smile. Cthulhu loathes you.

Stranger in a Strange Pub
Posted 8/11/2010 9:55:07 PM 
A lone traveler from distant lands, I found myself in a fog-shrouded avenue, footsteps echoing sharply. The waxing moon seemed like a ghost overhead, a halo emanating around it from the layer of fog cloaking the city. Buildings, made flat and gray in the swirling mist, loomed over me menacingly.
"It has to be here somewhere," I muttered to myself. I rubbed my cold hands together in a feeble attempt at warmth.
The sound of my own whispered voice startled me; it sounded unnaturally loud in the quiet street. I consulted a worn and tattered map, given to me by a stranger who resembled some twisted version of Nosferatu in a top hat.
"It is called the Bucket of Blood, Mr. Eel," he explained in a silky and hypnotic voice. "There you will find the Landlord. He has a room to let."
With a sharp cackle, he flipped his cloak and slid out of view in the misty night, eddies of fog swirling and obscuring him from view quickly. An involuntary shiver racked my body at the sound of the stranger's voice. I felt like a dead man walking. . .
Shrugging off the ill feeling, I turned a corner and saw a sign creaking over a soot-covered door, lit by the muted glow of a gaslamp. The faded letters read, "Bucket of Blood", but the bright red liquid oozing from a tipped bucket on that sign was suspiciously wet. I thought I could hear dripping.
Stop it! I thought, hunching my shoulders against that spine chill. It's just a pub, and you're here to see the room. Nothing more. There are no monsters, and vampires don't exist. . .
My nightmares were invading my too-vivid imagination, rampant and uncontrollable. Though I tried to steel myself against the frightening images of vampires and Jack the Ripper style killers lurking in the shadows, the feeling of dread and fear would not leave me be.
Immersed in these thoughts, I was startled by a dark figure as it appeared suddenly from the doorway below the cobbled road, flashing a crooked grin. All I could see was a flash of eyes and a glint from his teeth, as he tipped his top hat with a slight bow, and melted into the light. . .
"It is good to see you again, Mr. Eel. I am Mr. Underby, the Landlord."
A glint of teeth, a flash of. . .something. . .from the shadowed brim of that hat. I felt the shiver again. Wasn't this the same person who had given me the map of the city?
"I. . .I've come to take a look at your room for rent, Mr. Underby," I stammered.
"Follow," he commanded, as he glided down the stairs like a bat, and held open the door.
I hesitated, then crept down the stairs. Mr. Underby led me through a darkened doorway, and up some narrow stairs. We stopped at the head of a short hallway.
"That door is kept locked," Mr. Underby purred. "For obvious reasons. Come. This is your room."
He took out a giant tarnished keyring, flipped through a few ancient keys.
"Ah," he said softly, inserting a key into the lock. The door groaned as he pushed it open, revealing a tiny room with reddish and peeling wallpaper.
He handed me a small piece of parchment.
"Those are the term, Mr. Eel."
I nodded. The rates seemed reasonable, even if the Landlord did make me think he'd rather tear out my throat and drink my blood, than rent a small room to a taylor like me.
"It looks fine, Mr. Underby. Yes, this will work. Thank you."
"Welcome to Thunderclap Hall, Mr. Eel." he said, his voice silky and. . .was that menacing? My imagination was still running away with me. I had my head bent for a moment to pull out my wallet.
"Thank you, Mr. Underby. . ."
I looked up, but he had vanished.
I could still hear the faint malicious laughter echoing downstairs.
Will I survive having a shop over the Bucket of Blood? Only time will tell. . .
If you happen to be traveling New Babbage, check out the store. My main store is still located in Burmilla, as well.

If Only You Could See What I See With Your Eyes
Posted 7/29/2010 3:17:58 PM 
When Avatar Bizarre first started out, it was mostly eyes. A few people bought these eyes, including a friend of mine, who purchased a beautiful pair of deep blue eyes.
A week later, she'd sent me an offline thanking me because my eyes helped her have a "great time", wink, wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean?
That's as good a testimonial as anything you'd see on the likes of Yelp.com or reviews on eBay, don't you think?
In other news, crickets don't smell very good.
In my New World Order, crickets fed to pet lizards would smell better and make no noise. There's always one that escapes, hides in the crack behind the refridgerator, and chirps incessantly and off-key.
Escapees never sound like the peaceful buzz of crickets outside. They're always bloody nuisances.

New Wave Ministrone
Posted 7/24/2010 10:09:45 PM 
I made my debut at Arashi Do Saturday night. It was an 80s set, but I don't play *those* 80s, unless requested.
If you join me for my sets, you not only get to hear some great rarities and forgotten gems, but you also get a musical education. Plus you get random bits of trivia because my brain is chock full of useless information!
That said, this was my set list for Saturday, July 24 from 7-9pm.
Asterix denotes a request. Don't ever be shy about requesting. With just under 50,000 songs in inventory, I probably have what you want, and play a variety of genres (but please, no Hanson or Celine Dion, or I may have to hurt you). If I don't have what you ask for, I can always have it for next time. I owe a song to Damien next time, even though I still played the band he asked for.

More Steampunk at Avatar Bizarre
Posted 7/22/2010 2:52:39 PM 
Dirk Dastardly may have been a wicked villain, out to tie defenseless heroines to railroad tracks, but the real mastermind behind All That Is Evil in the Steampunk World is Doctor Calgori. His Monocle affords him xray vision for ease of cheating at Poker (and, well, somewhat lewd activities involving girls), a pair of scripted color-change goggles (for night vision), a dashing great coat with or without the cape, his bag of evil no-goodnik widgets, and that slightly Not Evil fashion sense that helps him sneak into High Society.
Other costumes in the series: Herr Drosselmeyer, Aether Pilot, Sky Captain, and the Mad Alchemist. Soon to come. . .it's a bit of a mystery, but stay tuned.
