The Sunset at NVhe

Virtual worlds can have some incredible views, just like real life. I can’t physically feel the coolness of the air slipping in as the sun sets and night begins to fall. Nor can I feel the heat from the sun or the wind ripple past me as if it is trying to dance with me.

However, the power of the mind is incredible. I can see sunsets such as these and just through the memories of such experiences that are recorded in my mind, I can actually feel the wind, the coolness of the air and the sun.

It is in this place that I can relax while my children sleep, write, study or finish homework. It is my favorite time and my most productive time. Creativity embraces me, affecting everything I do in that moment.

It may be virtual, but it does have its own reality that is incredibly real. The memories are very similar to those from the real world.

Here sits my nightly sun set experience that I am privileged to share with those visiting NVhe and those living on NVhe with me.

Playing In The Grass

I have a variety of posts that I need to get done and pictures to process or do something with that were taken while I was bounding about the virtual worlds.  Yes, I am quite a bit behind on my posting.  Little things happen here and there while I am in world and I find it amazing.  In most cases the happenings are less then five minutes or so.  I guess this is what we call adventure blipping!

Anyway, this picture was just so I could remember how to do a gif and also so I could do something with some interesting pictures that peeps would give me strange looks for taking.  Hey!  It did look cool as I was twirling about.  This was taking at N’Vhe, right in front of my new store.  It looks better if you play some good music with a fast beat.

The First Announcement

Today I made my first formal announcement about moving to Neoma and transitioning.  Honestly, I am nervous and not sure of what to expect.  I know some will be upset, others won’t understand and others will be fine with it.  It is a big change.

I love Nyte and she has been a huge part of me or should I say that I have been a huge part of her.  LOL!  I have been known as Nyte since I was 16 years old.  That is a long time.  Most of my life.  Even though Nyte the avatar has only been around since February 2006, it still is a long time for an avatar.  I know peeps that have been around quite a bit longer.

I am grateful to those that will support this move and I mourn with those that will miss Nyte and her antics.  I don’t want to loose my friends that I have made over the years, but sometimes these things are necessary.  Some of this is due to a real life situation that I just can not talk about.  Other parts are due to the bashing I have taken in life the last few years.  I guess in a way, all of this is representative of the changes in me.  Parts of us die, new growth appears and change smiles upon us.

I did keep my initials, intentionally.  There will always be a part of Nyte there.  History will always remain like a story book slowly forgotten over time.  But the remnant exists and thus continues on in a slightly different form.

Now I know the questions will come…..why not tell everyone when you first made the decision.  Its simple.  I am a stubborn gal and did not want anyone talking me out of what I felt I needed to do.  Yes, I am that stubborn and sassy.  It is not much of an excuse, but its the truth.

I guess I needed time to move into my new self, feel comfortable in my new skin (O.o) and have a chance to regrow the parcel and find a form of expression.  I can no longer draw as my hand is experiencing paralysis from the elbow break and surgery.  It will take a while to regain its usage back completely.  They say about 6 to 8 months and up to a year.  I had to have time to pout, cry, kick, scream, whine, yell and have multiple tantrums.  It has been a hard good year.

Now its time to get over it, suck it up and drive on and live.  I needed an extended moment to find a creative in me again.  That is the best way I can say it.  A new moon hit my life and thus I am named Neoma or New Moon.  Let’s see where this adventure will take us.

Now I have the other aspects to do, since I have done this sort of backwards……I have to chase down some peeps that have no idea and will spank the tar out of me when I tell them and they see its been so and I said narry a word.  It’s okies.  I gladly accept all deserved spankings.  LOL!

This is a picture from the N’Vhe parcel after I had a chance to update it. Only in a virtual world can you have meadows growing out of solid rock, which I think is pretty cool. It is subtle. Most people don’t notice and now the tenants are fighting for the apartments with a view.

This snap is on the side of the parcel closest to the stores. N’Vhe is a half sim mainland parcel located within the virtual world of Second Life (R).

2/3 Down The Road

I am excited now.  I mean really excited!

I have the store building dropped in its new location.  The old store is torn up.  It is starting to look much better.  Two stores on the top floor need the products placed properly.  I just tossed them in their space without any organization to them.

The property is taking shape.  We dropped various types of grasses all around, added some water falls replaced the old gazebo that had 2006 attached to it with prim pose balls and all.  It is amazing what can grown on the side of a mountain.  IEVL has discovered that the parcel looks awesome when he has it set on midnight.  I like it on sunset.  You will have to visit and judge for yourself.

I have to find some cobblestone for the new pathways and water or a pond for our little pond at the base of the waterfall.  That has yet to be updated.  Then I need doors to close out the empty store buildings to remove the obvious emptiness that exists there.

It is becoming so beautiful and pretty.  We live on the mainland.  Simply put, we can not afford the fees for our own little island, so the mainland is home.  I do like to watch the changes in the land around us.  Sometimes they are amazing.  Other time, they leave you with a “what the…” feeling.

The transition is slowly making its way towards completion.  I find myself sitting around in the grass or just walking the property, enjoying its beauty so far.  When I have a moment I will post a few snaps.

When Real Life Runs Over Virtual Life

I can’t believe a week has passed by so darn quickly, but it has.  My real life has become overwhelming ~ okay more so then usual.   We are in the last two weeks of school for this college semester.  It’s large project or papers for many classes and preparing for the upcoming finals (which are this coming week – eeps!)  O.o  I still have one paper to finish and it is due tomorrow.

None the less life in virtuality still goes on….

MR. IEVL is still working on phase one scripting.  This will take a while, so when there is some news ~ I will share it.  LOL!  Until then I have to keep the squirrel in the nut tree. :p

The eyes are all moved and the older line of IEVL (Innocently Evil) has been moved and placed. I just have the newer N’Vhe items to move to the new store building and then I can drop the building into its new home.  Things are moving along quite well.  Then I will have to have Nyte log in to set the items for sale to group.

I created a new role in group for Renter’s Friends and Roommates. While they have similar abilities, the renters will now be able to receive the proceeds from any sales.  The downside is they will share in the groups liabilities.  Since those are linked together there is not to much I can do about it.  This will be officially turned on for the renters when the marketing is in place.

Now comes the marketing of N’Vhe, its rentals and store.  I will be working on that in the upcoming months, alongside the neoma line.

I made my first sale of eyes recently as well…..lol….it was Mr. IEVL.  Thanks you!  Waves!

Move It Move It

More Project T items for N’Vhe.

Today I removed the top floating island and all the right sided islands.  This was the easiest part to start with on the deconstruction of the N’Vhe store.  Nothing was on the top island and its sub island off to its right.  The last right sided sub island and the lowest had the poses on them.  These have been brought up into the new store construction and placed.

Nyte has to log in world and adapt the scripts so that payments go to the group for these items.  I do not have that ability as of yet.  I think that will be a little bit tricky.  As I remember, those scripts were coded to pay an individual.  This may require the helpful services of Mr. IEVL Vita.  Scripting is his thing and he does it well.

I would do more, but now its time for a real life break and to get my Macroeconomics homework done.  Blah!  But only a few more weeks to go.  I do dislike that class.
