SLPD Detention Center, Impact and Coffee, and Men's Health at Health Info Island

 

By Gemma Cleanslate

 

While I was collecting new passport stamps I came across one at a place that was really new to me. Elvira Mistress of the Dark has opened a new police Detention Center that is part of SLPD . Elvira tells us "All visitors are welcome, role-players are welcome. Please wander round and check it out". I did just that. 

 

I did just that. I found Elvira on a stage at the back of the center playing the guitar. Not only can one visit the detention center but can also use the stage for parties if you contact her.

Inside the station there are several lockups for prisoners. They look fairly comfortable. I wondered how the food is in case one has to stay for a while. I was able to sneak a bag from one of the cells and food looks ok! I don’t plan on trying the cells out however. 

 

If you are interested in role play there get in touch with Elvira . While there pick up a few police hats that are scattered about the building.

The next place I visited is also a site you do not want to miss . Ceakay Ballyhoo has a lovely and unique art exhibit going on at Impact and Coffee. Pick up information at the landing. It is delightful for walking , or,  rezz an atv to take you around. The place is made for it. When you read the information about the art you will find it was all done with AI. 

At each art piece is has lovely poem related to that piece. Stop and reflect. There is a garden area where trees and plants created by Teresa Matfield are on display and for sale. Several story memorials are there to read. Her pieces in a smaller version are for sale there nearby. At the far end of garden I found a gift that you will like to have. I could relate to it. She could have put a picture of me in that one!

During the month of June there will be music , poems and story telling at the stage area. Tuesday the 10th DJ Rronnie Mayes will be there at 12 noon. The whole area is done in coffee painted textures. One can find out all the information at the landing area.

Also, attention all Males . The Health Island is all for you this month. Learn about men’s health and find resources . Many men I know just don’t like to worry or learn about health and especially don’t like visiting medical people at all. However we do want to keep you feeling well and being around so use this opportunity to check out all the exhibits . 

When you land get the notecard which shows the topics to be found around the exhibit area and the slurls. to get to each quickly.

Island of Misfits About To Close

 

By Bixyl Shuftan

 

Regrettably, a community in Second Life will be losing it's home. Some weeks ago, it was announced that the Island of Misfits sim, the home of the Misfits, led by FantaC Nymph Alexain, would be closing soon. 

 

Well Misfits, Its been a fun ride while it lasted...Unfortunately it is time to say goodbye and let it go.  Misfits Club, Licky Lovense, Licky Creamery, and Spring Haven are closing/closed down by the end of March.  Misfits Club will have Djs, until Saturday, March 29th. The Island of Misfits sim will be here for another month (End of April) for you to come in and say goodbye, as well as pay your last respects to Curzans'  Memorial.  I wish you all of the best, and hope all of your future endeavors are prosperous.  It was lovely meeting you all, and being a part of things.

 

To begin with, I first heard about the place through Curzan Markn Alexain (Curzan Markn), who dropped by the Happy Vixen with FantaC who was his partner. The sim itself was made by the two of them around 2020. In December 2021, he died. But the sim, and community continued on, remembering him and making a memorial to him. The Vixen's DJ Khyra would eventually get a gig there at the "Lizard Lick" club there. 

 

The sim and it's community is a mix of the Fantasy and the adult, as a description shows.

Welcome to a Fantasy world like no other. Island of Misfits is based off an original story. A land of Kings and Queens, dragons and Fae, Dominates and subs every one is welcome here. Here you will meet wondrous creature limited only by your imagination. My brother High King Iron rules the realm and I help manage the realm.
 

I had a few words with FantaC a few days ago.  Of the sim, she told me, "There is no one to pay for it and it's lasted longer then I expected. The current owner has gotten (Linden Lab) to agree to "save" the sim file so when they can bring it back it will be exactly as it is now." Of it coming back, "Possible but  unknown when. The person who was running the club on sim which was paying for the sim. It's no longer able to run the club so the sim is no longer paying for itself. Unfortunately, that means it's going to need to be closed until the owner's real life can allow for the expense.

 

 "He is using what's left of Lindens to keep it running 'till he runs out of lindens. One of the bigger concerns was that cursie and stuff is littered all over the Sim and if the Sim had to be recreated we would lose all of the curvies and stuff." 

 

While some of the people in the community have gone quiet since the announcement of the closing, there is a core group that is still active, including FantaC and "my brother ascend who now owns the sim." 

 

Of the sim, "It's based of a story I have been writing that I haven't completed yet, and it was home to the Alexain family the entirety of its existence. (The) original owner was  Ironheart Alexain, current owner is Ascent Littlepaws."

 

Of the story itself, a " fae island torn apart by war until the dragons stepped in and  made peace by kidnapping the rulers and basically locking them into a room and making them talk it out. They end up partnering off and instead of four rulers, they each pared off and now there is two rulers who then fall for each other. The real story is about their daughter. The daughters story is unfolding."

 

As of now, the sim is still accessible, the entry area at Island Of Misfits (128/128/1002). But keep in mind the adult nature of much of the place, which may include hints of bondage.
