As part of the creation of the 'new' Rupert, I bought lots of groovy clothes. I didn't set out with a look in mind but Rupert took control and created his own look. He tended to like outfits that were Gothic: dark and sumptuous, rather ornate with lots of swishing of coat tails. Once so clothed, I set out to find somewhere to wear my new clobber.
I came across a role-play sim called Cathedral of the Lost (Kawishiwi 224, 123, 176) which sounded right up my alley with lots of mythical creatures promised. I teleported there and landed before a large wooden door. I walked into a beautifully ornate cathedral-like space with filtered light coming through the stained-glass windows.
I walked towards what looked to be an altar (but which I suspect was a coffin) with hover text 'sacrifice'. Suddenly, I was thrust into the air and tossed back. I approached it again and was thrown back once more. This time I saw a poseball and clicked on it. I assumed the role of a victim and a vampire (who was really there) mysteriously appeared and fell on my neck. My eyes rolled into the back of my head and I felt lifeless and violated. (I had a quick look and thank goodness the vampire didn't leave any marks on my pretty new neck). The vampire disappeared and I tried the role of the vampire but alas there was no victim.
There was a big gothic-looking organ so I sat down to play. I felt devilish and Bach's Toccata in D-Minor rang through this eerie building as my hands raced up and down across the keyboard.
I wandered away and found a staircase to a lower level. There was a corridor and I turned left at the first turn into a small room with an altar with candles either side. A shaft of light passed through the room and then a '666' sign appeared above my head. A bat or something spectral passed by me. The vampire who bit me appeared and stood on the altar and then left without saying a word. And I was too scared to say a word.
I left the room and continued up the hall which opened into a large room with a swimming pool. There were vampire and victim poseballs but I stayed right away from them this time. There were also pose balls in the pool. So I floated a while, looking to all the world like a dead body. I could hear the water lapping against the sides. I found the steps out of the pool and saw a door.
I entered into a room with a bed. Sex wasn't mentioned in the description of this area but I'm thinking that's what happens there. Oh, the devil has arrived. She sat on the bed and whispered an invitation. I'd better leave quickly beacuse suddenly she's turning into a person! I teleport to Epiphany Island - far better for my soul.
So lots of great graphics and well-designed as an environment, great effects but not G-rated! The name of the place may have religious connotations but it's not necessarily so!
