Can't say I'm properly absent but I've been absent in player-facing things for a few weeks now (right after such a cool Order thing too) because work has exploded. It's enrollment month and I'm in charge of, well, everything. Will definitely be on during weekends but during the week it might be up to 2 more weeks of madness and bellyflopping the bed the moment I get home.

Re: General Dissatisfaction

My laptop is old and dying very slowly, and I don't have the money to replace it. I need it for both my art and my classes, and it makes playing Lusternia a lot easier. I'm very tired and don't really know what to do. I have a fundraiser, but I feel like it's going to be a lot more slowgoing than I'd hoped.

Re: Lief and Zitto Didn't Elope

Requested by @Lief , who can say no to the bride?

She is a bouncing furrikin prismatic demigoddess. Sharing the slight frame and height of others of her race, this furriken posses a distinctly vulpine muzzle, whiskers twitching as she gazes around from eyes that shine with every hue, two pointed ears set atop her head listening attentively. Her lithe body is covered in soft ginger fur, which changes to snow white on the underside of her muzzle and torso. Jagged white socks further break up the colour of her fur, while a bushy orange tail sweeps the air just above the ground, the tip a vibrant maelstrom of shifting colours. A lush fragrance dances about her as she stands awash in the wild, prismatic colours of a truefavour from Maylea, Bloom of Serenity.

She is wearing:

a wrap-around bracelet of seven stars

a decadent shortcake lapel pin

an apple tree brooch

a translucent crystal bindi shattering light into a prismatic dance of colour across her forehead

a brilliant white rose

a pair of Seren Security uniform boots

a Seren Security uniform skirt

a Seren Security uniform coat

the Flame of dae'Seren hanging delicately from her wrist.

Tailored in a simple and classic style, this crisp coat of cotton has

been dyed a moderately dark olive drab. Two silver buttons hold the

sharply pointed lapels firmly in place, while nine larger buttons,

similarly wrought from polished silver, run down the center of the

jacket to hold it closed. Resting just below the throat, the topmost

button is engraved in a simple circle that suggests the full moon. As

the buttons continue down the coat, the inlaid moons first wane and then

wax until they reach the final button which once more depicts the moon

at its zenith. Embroidered in silver-tinted thread on the left breast

pocket sits this simple garment's only other adornment, the insignia of

the Serenwilde Security Ministry: a stylized moonhart tree fronted by

crossed weapons, a cudgel and an athame.

Tailored in a simple and classic style, this crisp shirt of cotton has

been dyed a light olive drab. Tiny buttons of silver hold the sharply

pointed lapels firmly in place, and run down the front, keeping the fit

snug and trim, as befits a shirt worn as part of a uniform. Embroidered

in silver-tinted thread on the left breast pocket sits this simple

garment's only adornment, the insignia of the Serenwilde Security

Ministry: a stylized moonhart tree fronted by crossed weapons, a cudgel

and an athame.

Crafted from sturdy cotton and dyed a moderately dark olive drab, this

skirt appears at first glance to be cut in a classic sheath or pencil

design, belling only slightly around the midsection before arcing back

inward towards its hem just below the knees. A strip of beaten silver is

sewn into place along the hem, striking a gentle contrast with the green

fabric and adding additional weight to help hold it in place. Set in the

waistband just over the left hip, a silver button depicts the insignia

of the Serenwilde Security Ministry: a stylized moonhart tree fronted by

crossed weapons, a cudgel and an athame. The skirt has a simple and

straightforward appearance while at rest, but the pleats cunningly

stitched into the garment allow it to bell broadly when the wearer moves

or twirls, revealing inner pleats rendered in a deeper mossy green. The

pleats tuck back into the sheath contour as it comes to rest, allowing

the skirt to provide ample freedom of motion, while projecting a strict

and authoritative profile when still.

These olive drab leather boots are built solid and sturdy, giving an

impression of authority, power, and even stern reproach, befitting their

place as part of a uniform. A steel toe guard hides between the layers

of leather and is accompanied by a heavy steel core hidden within the

bulky three-quarter-inch heel, the twin reinforcements ensuring that

every step taken with these hefty boots leaves a firm imprint on softer

ground or makes a strident thump on harder surfaces. As the boots reach

halfway to the knee, several sturdy leather straps wrap around the ankle

and calf to ensure a snug fit while lending the boots an air of command.

The straps are held firmly in place by silver buckles, each one engraved

with the insignia of the Serenwilde Security Ministry: a stylized

moonhart tree fronted by crossed weapons, a cudgel and an athame.

Re: Lief and Zitto Didn't Elope

Llani's outfit:

a sheer olive green sari embroidered with golden orchid blooms

Sheer and dreamy, this delicate sari is composed of two thin layers of soft, translucent gauze; one piece is a snowy ethereal white, while the other is a striking olive green. Ephemeral and ink-like, capillary-thin golden threads spin across the fabric, forming delicately wending vines that blossom into orchids, their curling petals in full bloom. Crushed diamonds and tiny seed-pearls are haphazardly strewn across the sari, some clustering together upon the petals of the orchids, and when touched by any ambient lighting it is as if the blooms spring to life. The gauze clings to the body, wrapping tightly across the bosom and over one shoulder, leaving the opposite arm bared. The material leaves the midriff bare as it snugs into the waist, flowing down over the hips to fall in straight folds to the ground. All along the bottom edge of the sheer material hang tiny golden bells that gently chime together with any movement.

same scarf as Lendren's above

elbow-length dark green gloves with golden orchids
Crafted from supple and soft kidskin leather and dyed a rich forest green, these elegantly slim elbow-length gloves are tailored to hug the wearer's arms like a second skin. Resting just below the wrist on the back of each hand, a small orchid blossom is embroidered in golden thread, the blossom's curling petals in full bloom. Similarly embroidered in golden thread, the flower's stem coils around the wrist before starting to spiral up the arm where it steadily grows more slender, all but vanishing at the elbow.

dark green high-heeled shoes with a golden orchid

Possessing a light and airy appearance from their open toes and slender build, these forest green shoes are supported by three-inch heels of burnished gold. Delicately embroidered in golden thread, a long stem twists and turns as it coils around each shoe before ending in a small orchid blossom that rests just above the toes, its curling petals in full bloom. The embroidered stem parts from the shoe as it reaches the ankle, transitioning smoothly to a thin strip of beaten gold which spirals upwards along the leg and helps to hold the shoe in place.

We had the saris and scarf designs, and my heels, already. We designed both gloves and Llani's shoes to round out the ensemble. All the designs are mine or mine and Llani's except the black shoes and the green orchid sari.

Lendren

Re: Lief and Zitto Didn't Elope

At @Lief 's request, Lendren's outfit:

She is a graceful elfen demigoddess changeling. She holds herself with graceful beauty, occasionally interrupted by shyness, as she grows more confident of her place in the world. Her bangs of midnight-hued hair frame her narrow-rimmed spectacles, behind which jewel-like ebony eyes sparkle with a curious mix of eagerness and shy reticence, while her wavy hair, from which pointed ears peek, tumbles over her shoulders to mid-back, gleaming as if under moonlight. Her dark brown skin is strikingly offset by garish white scars near one shoulder, four vertical lines with a half-circle surrounding one end. Her elfen form is interrupted by a pair of oversized faeling-like rainbow wings folded against her back, seamlessly merged into a body primarily that of a curvaceous, graceful elfen. Tattooed on her toes is an illustration of swirls of rainbow mist. A lush fragrance dances about her as she stands awash in the wild, prismatic colours of a truefavour from Maylea, Bloom of Serenity.

She is wearing:
a translucent crystal bindi in the center of the forehead
a blooming symbol of Serenity pinned to the chest
a pair of iridescent round spectacles
the Flame of dae'Seren on a chain around the neck
a resplendent rainbow sari floating loose and airy about her form
an ornate golden silk dupatta scarf looped twice around her neck and dangling down on either side
a pair of glittering black high-heeled shoes
black silk elbow-length gloves adorned with golden threads
a floral bouquet earring on a silver chain through her left ear
a floral bouquet earring on a silver chain through her right ear.

You look at a resplendent rainbow sari that Lendren is wearing:

Voluminous silk has been generously cut and dyed in a resplendent rainbow of highly saturated hues to make this bright, colourful sari ensemble. The choli is tightly fitted, running high on the midriff, leaving the bellybutton exposed, and is dyed in a range of purples and blues, the dark indigo of a twilight sky at the neckline and fading to a cerulean above the bellybutton. The pavada skirt, cut wide to give the ensemble some flounce, continues the variegations of sky colours from cerulean at the waist to a pale sky blue at the ankle. This selection of sky colours is overwhelmed by the bright rainbow of saturated hues of the voluminous sari itself, the spectrum of colours shifting with the wearer's movement to make the rainbow undulate like a living thing across the backdrop of sky.

You look at an ornate golden silk dupatta scarf that Lendren is wearing:

Threads of gold are woven into this silk dupatta scarf, combining with the golden tint of the fabric to make the whole scarf appear like a flow of molten gold, shimmering in any light as it moves. The scarf is designed to complement a formal sherwani suit, rather than to provide much warmth, and as such, it's very sheer but long enough to wrap around the body, across the chest and up the back to return over the shoulder, so that it will flare out during formal dances. Lending an extra shimmer that is hard to notice save under close examination, a few silver threads trace out a faint image of white roses that almost vanishes into the similarly iridescent quality of the golden fabric.

You look at a pair of glittering black high-heeled shoes that Lendren is wearing:

The black material of the shoe is lined with a deep red cloth. The open toe allows for comfort and breathing, but also adds to its allure. A wide strip of cloth across the middle gives covering to the wearer. The strip is adorned with finely crushed onyx, giving a powerful shimmer without compromising the mood of the shoe. A two-inch heel protrudes from the back, raising the shoe, and signifying that the shoe is not meant for rigorous activity.

You look at black silk elbow-length gloves adorned with golden threads that Lendren is wearing:

Delicate strands of gold are woven into these silken elbow-length gloves in a subtle tracery of vines, striking a subtle contrast with the lustrous, deep black tint of the fabric. Clinging tightly to the wearer's arms, they appear almost like a flow of molten metal due to the peculiar combination of metallic thread and gleaming fabric. Truly an example of form over function, the fabric of these gloves is too light and sheer to offer warmth or protection, simply serving to provide a fashionable backdrop for more colourful garments as part of a coordinated ensemble. The upper end of the gloves reaches just above the elbow where they are secured by a simple band of blackened iron, snug enough to keep them in place through even the most energetic of dances.

You look at a floral bouquet earring on a silver chain that Lendren is wearing:

Dangling on a short silver chain is a tiny carved bouquet of flowers cut from colourful gems. The whole bouquet bangle is barely bigger than a pea, and carved in such minute detail that it looks like an arrangement of crystalline flowers shrunk to an impossibly tiny size. Amongst the blooms are a showy red rose hewn from ruby, a deep-hued indigo cut from sapphire, and a crystalline orchid whose diamond facets refract the available light into iridescent rainbows.

Re: Lief and Zitto Didn't Elope

Obligatory ring show-off post:

a wedding band bearing a jeweled rose

A twined pair of golden vines form the loop of this wedding band. The thin channels between the vines have been filled with tiny slivers of emerald. Atop the band, six more emerald fragments have been cut in the shape of delicate leaves and set in a ring. A rose in full bloom, its petals thin slices of ruby, rests at the center of the verdant leaves. A single brilliant diamond has been set in the center of the rose, its facets glittering in even the faintest light.
Engraved on it are the words:

To the sole possessor of my heart, given as a symbol of my love for you.

It weighs 2 ounce(s).
It has a trade valuation of worthless.
It bears the distinctive mark of Zitto Myeras.
It has been stamped with the seal of Prismatic Reflections.
It has the following aliases: ring, band.

a wedding band of blossoming joy

Across this wedding band's broad, lustrous surface, tiny chips of gemstones blossom into a glittering mosaic of romantic color. Enwreathed by choice flecks of darkened emerald leaves, minuscule pieces of garnet cluster into flattened petals outlined in veins of gold, unfurling as a rose in its fullest bloom. Their subtle facets sparkle when they catch the light like dewdrops might, if such signs of gathered morning could be captured and crystallized for the sake of a ring. Swelling from this flattened sprawl of color, one small but perfect centerpiece crests the flower's heart: a convex honeyed beryl rises like the first glimpse of dawn breaking the horizon, a sun-kissed reminder of joy bursting from the cushion of love's most traditional symbol.

Engraved on it are the words:

Like fragrant blossoms to the little honeybee, my heart sings for you.

It bears the distinctive mark of Unbroken Lief Myeras-Silvermoon.

It has been stamped with the seal of Prismatic Reflections.

I know a lot of people put effort into their wedding guest outfits and I'd love to see them posted in here, if you're willing.

Re: Lief and Zitto Didn't Elope

Let's try this again. The spoiler button does not like me. Here's what Faythe wore to the wedding, sharing per @Lief 's request.

She is a graceful elfen, fair-skinned and heavily freckled from the sun. As is typical of the elfen race, her athletic frame is fine-boned and graceful, about five and a half feet in height. Her hair is a deep, chestnut brown, the locks of which have been twisted into a long, intricate plait. Colorful orchid and snapdragon blooms are woven along the length of the braid, while a few loose tendrils fall forward to frame her delicate features. Wide eyes of an olive-green are set in her heart-shaped face, just over a small nose and a full-lipped mouth. Tattooed on her arms is an illustration of swirling tendrils of blue and umber.
She is wearing:

a cluster of snapdragons woven into her braid
a striped orchid woven into her braid
a translucent crystal bindi centered shimmering upon her brow
a sheer olive green sari embroidered with golden orchid blooms wrapped snugly to her form, leaving her right arm bare
a golden armband of creeping snapdragons upon her right arm
an anklet adorned with a multitude of bells tinkling softly on her left ankle.

And closer look at clothing for those that care:

Sheer and dreamy, this delicate sari is composed of two thin layers of

soft, translucent gauze; one piece is a snowy ethereal white, while the

other is a striking olive green. Ephemeral and ink-like, capillary-thin

golden threads spin across the fabric, forming delicately wending vines

that blossom into orchids, their curling petals in full bloom. Crushed

diamonds and tiny seed-pearls are haphazardly strewn across the sari,

some clustering together upon the petals of the orchids, and when

touched by any ambient lighting it is as if the blooms spring to life.

The gauze clings to the body, wrapping tightly across the bosom and over

one shoulder, leaving the opposite arm bared. The material leaves the

midriff bare as it snugs into the waist, flowing down over the hips to

fall in straight folds to the ground. All along the bottom edge of the

sheer material hang tiny golden bells that gently chime together with

Thin tendrils of gold have been twisted together and wrap snugly around

the upper arm, no more than an inch in width. Resembling a creeping

vine, this band blooms into sporadic clusters of snapdragons and

glittering emerald leaves. Gently cradled by the metal filigree, each

flower's delicate gemstone petals unfurl in sparkling shades of pale

orange beryl, brightest ruby red and gleaming pearl white.

Shimmering white gold has been wrought into the minute links of a

delicate anklet chain, from which dangle a multitude of miniscule bells.

Crafted of varying hues of gold - yellow, white, red, and rose - the

polished, gleaming bells have been fashioned not only for decoration,

but give off a gentle chorus of ethereal chimes and jingles with even

the slightest movement.
