Notes From Majik...: ^v^/<|;) (Bats Out Of Hats)

Yus, it's been a while. Quite a few lame things have happened! LOL, OMG...

Despite an industrial powerstrip, I believe that one of the unusually abundant, stupid, fucking thunderstorms took out my data drive, a little less than 2 weeks after getting this newer computer... So, fuck you, mother nature and backfiring technology! ...It makes using Photoshop (and EVERY important program I need, that the data drive was intended for), fucking painful as all hell!

Additionally, my RL birthday seems to trigger every goddamned gov't agency to come outta the woodwork and threaten to take away everything I need from them to survive... So of course I was busy chasing down a bunch of paperwork and jumping a mega thousand hoops to prevent losing my so-called life ...in your fucking pandemic (...which might be a ploy to help weed out the less fortunate folk from the human race, IMO). So of course, when all that bullshit is done, then I might have time to take this thing to the shop and be able to enjoy it as intended, OMFG!

And yup, looks like Blogger also upgraded their user interface, which I am *NOT* particularly a fan of anything other than "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." ...Unnecessarily capitalizing "store" in the labels (no matter how I try to manipulate fixing it), not showing the Search Description without the drop-down being activated (so the "I can't fucking read this" pic link won't be revealing the same shit), automatically generating a paragraph space with just one touch of the Enter key instead of two (annoying, but thank gawd they kept the HTML edit option ...color-coded now & easier to edit, much like a Pastebin), and OH, but, yes, picture staggering and words on either side of them are now even MORE of a PITA (because you can't drag/drop images anymore) ...fucking backward, self-defeating, idiotic, Millenial bastards, just for starters! xD But whatthefuckever, at least my blog is still intact at the end of the day ...My sanity, on the other hand... (well, that was Gone With The Wind, eons ago)! :p

...Plus a few other major world drama BS changes that I'm just going to go ahead and omit for meow. :ppppppppppppp

Alrighty, so back to the original intent of this post...

Zamargad - ^v^/<|;) (Bats Out Of Hats) Skyboxes

I went from owning all of my Zamargad region, down to the smallest parcel for a while, to help pay off some RL debt. And well, now that my loan is finally paid off, I recently bought back another small parcel! :) ...Now we own the whole South portion! :D

You remember my [midlife crisis] daughter, Isis, right? ...Yus, this "Zamargad remodeling interim" all started because of her! xD

...Hop in, and I'll take you on a tour of the newer setup!

So let's start with our freshly redecorated ^v^/<|;) (Bats Out Of Hats) store.

We've integrated a more complete Fall/autumn/harvest theme.

The skybox wallpaper and ceiling is animated with falling leaves! ♥

When you first land, you'll likely see this, all at the center of the bridge...

The sign at the top of the bridge is our logo, touching it will give you helpful information.

Right beneath it are the two spinning boxes for touchable options of joining/leaving the store group and/or Subscribr.

On the wall is our advertisement board that you can also touch for more information about Zamargad and such.

We haven't done away with our beloved Batlings we draw from the name bowl, that's right there on the floor too.

The lava lamp is our tip jar ...TYSM (should you feel any inclination)...

And in the background, at the next arch, you can see the Caspervend redelivery too...

...Also under that next bridge arch (on the opposite side) is the store vendor and sit-able purple vortex to our rez preview platform vendor.

The huge rez platform sits right above our store.

Rez whatever you would like to see...

...Take the purple vortex back to the main store.

Our Amarettos are also here, protected by pentacles. :)

...All breedables for sale are actually on ---> our MP.

...See our PlantPets inworld...

Alienum...

Yup, we sell potions too!

^v^/<|;) (Bats Out of Hats), LGH Passage

And here's our not-so-secret passage pond to our Linden Gold Hunt stuffs.

...Or you can just sit on the bench and watch the fish swim around or something! ;)

Welcome to our Fish Hunt skybox!

The totem pole surrounded by flying bats (and The Potheads flowerpot) is a passageway.

Yup, I think we grow and sell fishing worms ...for real!!!

^v^/<|;) (Bats Out of Hats), LGH Sunflowers

To the South are sunflowers that need watering, purtty please...

^v^/<|;) (Bats Out of Hats), LGH Snuffles

...Don't forget to pick up the Snuffle resources in the center (and buy the Fish/Gold Hunt accessories to the East)!

...Take the totem pole TP to the main store... wash, rinse, repeat! ;)

Ah, hmm... Well, I never covered where these doors go, did I?

*giggles*

...Well, the purple door is a Majikal door that works upon collision. You need to accept the experience to find out where it will take you! ;)

But now, the ground door...

Oh, well! I think that must go to, well... the ground level! xD

^v^/<|;) (Bats Out of Hats), Ground Floor, 1

Oh, wow! Where the heck are we now???

^v^/<|;) (Bats Out of Hats), Ground Floor, 2

...There seems to be a stirring happening from within the waters...

...Yup, definitely a secretly Majikal place of Noctem, this Zamargad...

...Look for us in the upcoming @}-- The Havens --{@ Fantasy Lands Fall Home Tour 2020! :)

Meanwhile, hope to see you around the grid! ♥

---> I can't fucking read this!

Greetings, all!

SoOoOoo, we @ ^v^/<|;) (Bats Out Of Hats) have done a custom creation for one of our awesome friends, Blue... And we thought this would be the greatest place to advertise/share the thorough experience + display a million photos of it! :D

You can get your copy ---> here!

+ test it out inworld ---> here!

...We love doing customs! There's nothing more satisfying than helping make your dreams a reality, with our creative touch! Our standard of perfection is - if we wouldn't buy it, we wouldn't sell it! So if you have an idea you'd like to see come to life ---> check out our Zamargad linky and get in contact with one of us! :)

Detailed, Extended Description:

*applauds wildly*

Inspired by Lilith's own groping/hanging chair bought from Fantasy Faire, oh, a hundred years or so ago... here we have a custom request from our dear friend, Blue! "My decor's going Goth, and I just want something like that to sit on," she pointed, and then acknowledged, "...no poseballs."

So when we scoured SL to find this OOAK to no avail, we decided to oblige and over embellish our own creation; jam-packed with about 75 animations (in 4 genres of: singles - "female," "male," & androgynous, as well as couples, & silly folks), all carried (synchronously floating) by our animated (wing flapping + majik dust sprinkling) Bat-Heart jewel --and we even threw in gargoyle decor to boot (and control the floating)!

Welly welly welly welly welly welly well...... I don't think you or your droogs will ever be bored with this beautifully creepy, over the top, posh chair now - because unlucky for you, Blue's voodoo incantation has been answered, mwahahaha! ...We hope you like it!

Each sculpted prim/mesh piece is copy/mod, so you can adjust it to your liking *trips at all the options one has with these 3 different unlinked pieces* ...But don't worry, this also comes with very thorough (and easy to understand) instructions, as well as an animation cheat sheet (should you prefer a road map)! ;)

Chair is 4 LI, Bat-Heart is 4 LI, and Gargoyle is 3 LI - all in options of either a soft-linked / coalesced object, or a Rez2 anchor (formerly known as Rez-Free) - mix them up however you wish!

Thanks for putting your world in our wicked hands! ;)

-Lilith & Samael ♥ :)
