Diary 2019 (17) January 28th/29th – varied days

Monday, January 28th, was a varied day in SL for me, yet there’s not much to write into the diary nonetheless. I made a simploring tour in the afternoon that turned out being an elaborated, complex quest, something that will take hours and more to fully discover. Just when I was about to log off, slave Pinky came inworld and I saw her shortly.

January 28th: Diomita and slave Pinky at home

Mistress Jenny and I spent most of the night at Puerto Esclava, where slave Flo and Argi joined us. We caught up with each others news, we chatted in main chat and obviously entertained some of the other guests. slave Flo was kind of an attraction there.
After more than an hour we returned home with slave Flo to play a round of greedy before bed. Shy Rodenberger, a submissive guy, who we met at Heavy Bondage Club a couple of days before, came to us and joined for one round. He had been loitering at our ome the days before and attended the Friday night party. So far Shy has been very politely and not needy.

When we had finished playing and slave Flo had went off to bed, Mistress Jenny offered Shy to stay closer to us in order to get known to us. And she instructed him to get RR cuffs. Then we retreated as well. And that’s it about Monday.

Tuesday afternoon, January 29th, I met Angelique in the afternoon. As we don’t see much of her lately due to her RL, it was nice to be with her for a bit at least. We chatted and played some rounds of greedy.

January 29th: Diomita and Angelique at home / Diomita with slave Flo at Psi’s realm

Angelique was about to leave when slave Flo came inworld, slave Flo just saw Angelique leaving. I went to Psi’s realm with slave Flo. It wasn’t very crowded at Psi’s but it is rarely empty. There were some people and they were talking about unthankful slaves that don’t appreciate the work of those who tie them up.
I leashed slave Flo to the wall, where one woman was already leashed to. The place in the middle seemed a bit empty and I decided to fill it with slave Brie Bella (brie4675), who happened to be present. She at least said “mmomm moh”, which I clearly identified as a “Thank you”.

January 29th: slave Flo, slave Brie Bella (brie4575) and a random sub at Psi’s realm / Diomita admiring her arfull work – slave Flo, slave Brie Bella (brie4575) and another random bondage toy

And when the third woman left, as far as I could see her timers had run down, I replaced her space with another random stray bondage toy. I personally was satisfied with my artful work!

At night I got an invitation from ally (ally259). She offered me a tour over the sim, she’s living in now: Strict Venus Femdom SSC.
Angelique was inworld and When I accepted the invitation, I took Angelique with me. It was a very comprehensive tour of 30 minutes. Unfortunately, Angelique had to leave inbetween for RL. I took some pictures and grabbed information and I will write a simploring report about Strict Venus Femdom SSC eventually, if I find the time for it. Hence no more information or pictures right now.

January 29th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club Domme a Domme / at Mesmerize Dungeon with slave Pinky

Mistress Jenny and I caught up at club Domme a Domme with our mutal news, then we moved on to Mesmerize Dungeon. What began as a quiet night became quite busy.
slave Pinky came inworld first, then Shy, and both made great chairs. Then Argi joined us and then Molly Footman (missuzmollymike footman), who I know from deviant art. We had fun, good entertainment and chats. It was already late when we finally left Mesmerize Dungeon.

January 29th: Mistress Jenny, Diomita, slave Pinky, Shy Rodenberger, Argi and Molly Footman (missuzmollymike footman) at Mesmerize Dungeon / Mistress Jenny, Diomita and slave Pinky watching Shy Rodenberger adjusting his cuffs at home

Back home Shy adjusted the RR cuffs he had bought and Mistress and I gave him a bit insight of the power they will provide for us. Shy might fun for us.

Simploring 2019 (14) Oxygen by Terrygold

I visited Terrygold’s newest exhibition and installation “Oxygen” following Inara Peys’s blog post about it “Terrygold’s Oxygen in Second Life“. The exhibition and the installation is shown at Solo Arte, the art place of Melania (melaniabis) and Terrygold.

At the landing you can grab a notecard with the background story that accompanies Terrygold’s exhibition in the rooms adjacent to the landing. There’re recommended settings for your viewer for your visit and I used them, althogh my picture became a bit dark with it, but that’s intended.

Oxygen by Terrygold – impressions of the exhibition (1)

The story itself is quite sad and touching. It deals as the name implies with oxygene. In a not so far future a woman grows up wearing an oxygene mask permanently because of the polluted air. The mask is an ongoing torture, the sounds of her own breathing making it hard to blind out her misery. Just once a week she gets relief for an hour she may spend in a greenhouse.

Oxygen by Terrygold – impressions of the exhibition (2)

As you wander through the exhibtion you read the story, you see the pictures that express the never ending longing for relief, the yearning for a natural and healthy environment. And you hear the sounds of the breathing. In the end, when you passed the last room and picture you hear the last heartbeat and silence, finally silence.

Oxygen by Terrygold – impressions of the underground

Leaving the exhibition you walk up stairs, reach a large corridor with oxygene tanks and come to an old underground station and finally when you walk up from the underground station with the station name “Rebirth” you reach the surface, a town named “Oxygen“. It’s dark and abandoned, a ghost town. Nature has conquered it back, ivy, trees and gras slowly overgrowing walls. The roads with the rusty car wracks still witness the life that has been here before. And if you walk inside the houses, there’s still furniture, pictures on the walls, signs of the life that was here before.

Oxygen by Terrygold – impressions of the ghost town

Oxygen by Terrygold is an impressive piece of art with a strong message like “Rusted Farm” was, the installation of Terrygold that I visited last year (read here) and that dealt with industrial farming and pollution. I recommend a visit to Oxygen and I hope that Terrygold’s message is heard. Thank you for your art and for this installtion, Terrygold!

Diary 2019 (16) January 27th at club Domme a Domme (II), the end of a red light

Sunday afternoon, January 27th, Mistress Jenny and I had our afternoon and the night all for ourselves. Mistress asked me to wear my straight jacket and took me to club Domme a Domme, where I knelt by her side. We chatted and read profiles. After a while Mistress dragged me over to the leashing poles next to the “failed dommes” sign and leashed me there, while staying close to me. It felt like being Mistress Jenny’s trophy. After a while Mistress gagged me with a ringgag in addition to my straight jacket bondage.

January 27th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club Domme a Domme

And on top of my humiliation and defeat Mistress left me at club Domme a Domme, leashed and gagged, unable to start IM. She ordered me to stay there during her absence and not to log out immediately after she left.

January 27th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club Domme a Domme / Ehesklavin Diomita left leashed, tied and gagged

I got just a few IMs within the 90 minutes I stayed online tied up at the club and I was happy when Mistress finally came back to pick me up at night. She unleashed me and I had to report about my time alone at club Domme a Domme, then she took me to our loft.
We sat down in our lounger – and Mistress Jenny ended my red light by unlocking my Ehesklavin collar and replacing it with the sub collar. We talked about the afternoon. Once again this red light did further strengthen my submission to Mistress.
Thank you, Mistress Jenny.

January 27th: Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita at club Domme a Domme / at our loft where I got my sub collar again

When Mistress asked me where to go to next, I decided to go back to club Domme a Domme because I wanted to stand proudly next to Mistress there – and I did *winks*. Then we visited club DeLust and Puerto Esclava and I tried to relax after the red light and the experiences I made. We talked and I just enjoyed being at Mistress’ side.

Diary 2019 (15) January 26th at club Domme a Domme

We spent Saturday, January 26th, at club Domme a Domme. In the afternoon Mistress Jenny and I went there while we caught up with our mutual news and we read profiles and continued talking. Mistress was still wearing her jeans outfit from the Friday night party. It really looks sexy, underlines her firm butt and contrasts well to my black body. I took a couple of pictures of us ….

January 26th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club Domme a Domme

While we were there Mistress had an conversation with another domme from the UK, let’s call her T. I saw T often before but had talked to her the first time just a couple of days before and I had told Mistress Jenny about my conversation. Mistress Jenny shared parts of her conversation with T with me, in particular she allowed T to play with me. I admit, it still felt strange how Mistress Jenny talked about me with another domme.

To make a longer story short, when Mistress Jenny had to leave for RL, she left the keys out on my cuffs and blocked me from taking them. And as Mistress had left T called me over to her and took me to her place.
I spent an erotic hour with T where she had her way with me. She locked me on a bondage frame and teased me, she increased my lust and desire with pain and finally made me cum. I won’t publish the pictures I made *winks*. When T was finished with me she locked my cuffs and sent me home. Locked up like this I had to wait for Mistress Jenny’s return. What an unexpected afternoon!

January 26th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at club Domme a Domme with slave slut cecy

When Mistress Jenny came inworld at night she found me locked up and I learned that she and T had agreed that T leaves me like this when she was done with me. Another new experience for me. Of course I had to report to Mistress in detail about my time with T.
We went again to club Domme a Domme and again I took several pictures of us. slave slut cecy came inworld and decorated us.

And later also Argi came to the club and we had fun teasing slave slut cecy together with her. It had already become late and Mistress Jenny and I retreated to our skybox where I was allowed to spoil Mistress.
This ongoing red light brought me deeply into sub space and strengthened my submission to Mistress Jenny way beyond any point of return even as I will get my green lights granted furtheron.
Thank you, Mistress Jenny.

Simploring 2019 (13) A way of life

I looked up scoop.it SL Destinations and came across a blog entry of Inara Pey “A Way of Life in Second Life“, in which she reported about her visit to a sim named “a way of life“.

“a way of life” – overview

a way of life” is a homestead owned by Elyjia Baxton. She also created Tavana Island, an island that I visited back in 2017 (read here). The landmark description just contains the link to the flickr group  but in Elyjia’s profile I found a text about “a way of life“, which is quite fitting:
Discover a landscape of rustic nature with farms and paths, places to walk, green landscapes, bordered by a beach. A quiet, soothing place with many perfect places for photography

Impressions of “a way of life” (1)

a way of life” consists of several islands of which some are connected by bridges or rocks, to get to some others, you’ll have to swim. The landing point is on the terrace of the only residential house at “a way of life“. It overlooks the sea from one side. The house itself is built in a Mediterrean style and it is only sparsely furnished (yet?). From there I began to explore “a way of life“.

Impressions of “a way of life” (2)

I visited the chapel, the windmill and the barn. Wherever you turn your view to, “a way of life” is beautiful in it’s rural simplicity and peace. I liked in particular the natural pond and the pier where you can sit and simply enjoy the quietness.

Impressions of “a way of life” (3)

The lighthouse is on a seperate island and a lot of birds are flying around it. You could take a rest in the gazebo, in which you’ll also find a telescope. The area around the cabin and the nearby beach offer additional cosy places to enjoy the environment or, like I did, for taking pictures.

Impressions of “a way of life” (4)

There’s not much I can write about “a way of life“. It is a perfectly made dream of a place to be, peaceful and natural, rural with it’s own charme. I enjoyed my visit and the views a lot.

Thank you Elyjia for sharing your place with the public!

Diary 2019 (14) January 23rd – 25th Pinky Maurer (II)

Mistress Jenny and I had a relaxing hour with slave Pinky in the afternoon. We took her to Heavy Bondage Club and enjoyed some eye candy while chatting and keeping an eye on Pinky.

January 23rd: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Pinky at home and at Heavy Bondage Club

My night was quite quiet once again as Mistress wasn’t inworld. slave Flo was inworld. Her NGW hood doesn’t really blind her due to a function that the Firestorm viewer isn’t supporting. Hence I unlocked her hood and added a KaS hood, restricted her view and then put back on the NGW Hood above it. It took a time to set all up correctly and to hide the KaS hood under the NGW hood. Just like in RL it would take time to adjust a latex hood snugly and properly. Now slave Flo is really viewing restricted *winks*. slave Pinky came inworld and joined us. I took the slave shopping as I wanted something nice and pink for Pinky. I didn’t find something fitting and finally just bought nice pink latex hot pants for her. With colouring her cuffs in the same hot pink, she now looks way more like slave Pinky *winks*. I had more ideas, but slave Pinky had to leave and thus this had to be postponed.

January 23rd: Diomita with slave Flo and slave Pinky at home / Diomita with slave Flo at Heavy Bondage Club

slave Flo and I went roaming and visited Heavy Bondage Club and Mesermize Dungeon. No greedy or Skipee as slave Flo wouldn’t be able to see….
After slave Flo went to bed, I myself spent some time at club Domme a Domme … and that’s it for Wednesday, January 23rd.

Thursday afternoon, January 24th, Mistress Jenny and I took slave Pinky out shopping. Mistress had selected Sophie Preiss’ store for corsets and dolls. We found a lovely (cruel) hairstyle there for pinky, who is so eager to let her hair grow back. Most likely she’d prefer being bald than getting this hairstyle at least. We visited a store for hoods and latex tails as a latex tail would be another nice alternative for slave pinky. Finally we decided to get a latex hood from D’Evil for her. We went back home where slave pinky could try out the hood and set it up in the right colour fitting to her name. Our 90 minutes in the afternoon flew by way too quickly again.

January 24th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home / Mistress Jenny and Diomita shopping with slave pinky

Our night was relaxed. Mistress Jenny and I talked at home, she sitting in her new throne and I sitting by her feet. When slave Flo came inworld, we took her to Mesmerize Dungeon for about an hour. We watched the scene, teased her a bit, read profiles and relaxed. When we returned home we had two games of greedy with slave Flo before she had to leave to bed.

January 24th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita at home (left) and at club Domme a Domme (right) / Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Flo at Mesmerize Dungeon

Mistress Jenny took me to club Domme a Domme for about half an hour. She had some IMs and I just enjoyed her presence and surfed profiles. Back home we had some intimate time for ourselves (no pictures *winks*).

Friday afternoon, January 25th, we took slave Pinky to Heavy Bondage Club to expose her. We had unexpected fun there as Pinky got some attention and we managed to initiate at least some chatting in public. A guy named Shy, was very interested in Pinky or more likely in being enslaved like her. When we returned home, he followed her.

January 25th: Mistress Jenny and DIomita with slave Pinky at Heavy Bondage Club / Friday night Party (Mistress Jenny, Diomita, slave Pinky, Baroness Capelo)

I ran late for our Friday night party. It was well attended and we had fun and good music as always. Shy, the guy we met in the afternoon, also attended and he seemed also tempted to “visit” Starry’s prison.

Diary 2019 (13) January 21st/22nd – Pinky Maurer

Monday, January 21st, I had only a short night inworld. RL kept me from going inworld in the afternoon and Mistress wasn’t able to go online as well. When I came inworld quite late at night, just slave Flo was at home and I went seeing her. I got an message of slave kelly greeting me and was a bit confused that she wasn’t at home. It turned out that she was at Psi’s realm with Mistress Jenny.
Hence I went to Psi’s realm with slave Flo where we met Mistress Jenny and slave kelly. slave kelly asked me for allowance to change her name to “Pinky Maurer” and with Mistress’ approval I granted it. It’s quite an honor wearing the last name Maurer although Pinky might sound humiliating. Mistress told me that pinky hopes that we might allow her to grow her hair again as a reward for her request. We’ll see about that.

January 21st: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with slave Flo and slave pinky at Psi’s and at home

At home Mistress Jenny was quite harsh with slave pinky and demonstrated her dominance with great joy. When I proposed to let slave kelly roam on the island, she agreed but ordered me to add a chanin between pinky’s ankle cuffs. And as slave pinky pouted, she ordered me to gag slave pinky, which I did using a ringgag Mistress asked pinky whether she hates pink and as pinky nodded, she ordered me to strip her. It might be that pinky really feels better naked than dressed in pink. And finally Mistress ordered slave pinky to lick her boots with desire and fully focused.
Most probably I could be happy as Mistress’ mood just hit slave pinky and not me because I ran late *winks*.

January 22nd: Diomita with slave Flo at Heavy Bondage club

My Tuesday in Second Life was was quite different. I couldn’t go inworld in the afternoon due to my RL and at night I was alone most of the time. slave Flo showed up and we spent some time at Heavy Bondage Club, then played a few rounds of greedy. I roamed around a lot, as I wasn’t in the mood for simploring. I talked to several new people and will have to wait if anything develops (I doubt it). Later, just when I was about to leave for bed, I met slave Pinky shorty. She had been teleported to a safe hub, when our sim wasn’t online, when she logged in and I picked her up and brought her back home.

Simploring 2019 (12) 6 artists at La Maison d’Aneli

I got the invitation to visit the newest exhibition at La Maison d’Aneli, that opened January 23rd and features the art of: Therese Carfagno, Eupalinos Ugajin, Nabrej Aabye, Betty Tureaud, Tubal Amiot and Xirana Oximoxi.

I started my visit at the room that was filled with Betty Tureaud art. It is one piece, four persons stand in a circle around a hoovering couple. The persons or statues are made of coloured glas, each has a different colour, the couple being pink. Around the scene 8 cubes are placed in a circle and on the inner side of the cubes you see the faces of other coloured persons looking at the scene in the center. The whole scene is in a full dark room and once you enter there’s no other light than what is reflected of the persons and the cubes. It’s quite impressing to walk around and to step into the scene. I’ll refrain from interpreting *winks*
Betty Tureaud is from Denmark, she’s a builder and light and space artist in Second Life. I came across her art before at ArtSpace UTSA in 2016 (read here) and in August 2018 when I visited her isntallation “The Art Game” (read here)

Xirana Oximoxi (Nuria Vives)’s exhibition at La Maison d’Aneli shows a series of nine women artists of 16th – 19th centuries centering the attention to the difficulties they had to deal with to be recognised as professional artists. Each of the female artists has her own little corner. Stylised men are looking at the exhibited pictures and are discussing, you see their comments like in a comic strip, the ceiling hanging full of other bubbles. To some extent the comments seem to be funny nowadys, but on the second glance they left me very pensively.
Xiarna Oximoxi (Nuria Vives) is a Catalan artist: “My works reflect my concerns and my different moods. They are based on my experiences and express a personal sensitivity nourished by impressions from the external world and my internal world.” Nuria her an own website http://nuriavives.com/ and an own blog http://nuriavvives.wordpress.com/

Nabrej Aabye is a digital artist. His work ranges from simple illustration, photography, video, design, digital painting, typography and to mixed art. At La Maison d’Aneli you’ll get an impression of the variety of his art, that is not dominated at all by one style. The two boule balls and the sci-fi skeleton of a dinosaur show examples of his 3D art.

Therese Carfagno is Second Life for 12 years now and took pictures within SL for many years. Lately she’s more interested in pictures of real life. In her exhibition at La Maison d’Aneli she shows a series of pictures of Nancy, “a very kind and beautiful girl who’s very at ease in front of the camera.” There’re also a few abstracts. You’ll have to interpret them yourself as even Therese can’t explain what it is – nor can I.


Tubal Amiot’s usual name is Aïcha according to something in her real name. Like Therese Carfagno she’s also in Second for almost 12 years now. She says about herself, that other people find her being eccentric. For her SL is a place to do what she doesn’t do in real life. She’s first of all a poet and writer. Tubal makes paintings with softwares, sometimes 3 for one painting. The work exhibited at La Maison d’Aneli reaches from naive art to adult art, from scuptures to comics, from abstract to garphical pictures. And it’s really colourful!

Eupalinos Ugajin is also in Second Life for more than 10 years. Inara Pey has visited Eupalinos Ugajin’s “Avaloir” and writes in her blogpost Eupalinos Ugajin’s Avaloir in Second Life: “Those familiar with Eupa’s work will know that it covers a broad canvas, often containing humour, whimsy, a little self-deprecation, which can be mixed with social commentary, imaginative projection worth of the likes of Gilliam, and an artistic flair that can quite captivate the eye and mind.
The room created by Eupalinos Ugajin at La Maison d’Aneli show several 2D and 3D pieces of art and a quote on the floor that is faded in and out at different spots and that describes the combining element of the exhibited pieces:
“…we now have 3D and the apologists say it is more realer than real. Do we need that? Shouldn’t we be putting our energies into something more worthwhile? The human imagination is surely the most amazing thing in the universe. We do not want virtual reality we want virtual unreality. We cannot replicate reality – ahy are we asting our time trying?…” (Peter Greenaway)

Once again Aneli Abeyante has put together an impressive exhibtion showing the broad variety of art in Second Life at La Maison d’Aneli. I did enjoy my visit and can only recommend that you’ll have a look at it. Thank you Aneli and thank you Therese Carfagno, Eupalinos Ugajin, Nabrej Aabye, Betty Tureaud, Tubal Amiot and Xirana Oximoxi.

Diary 2019 (12) January 19th/20th The 1st red light of the year

Mistress Jenny took me to a place called Dangerous, a Place for Women Saturday afternoon, January 19th. We said hello to the few people present, then Mistress went to a separate playroom with me and tried out a throne there with me. She was incredibly strict and determined making me lick her shoes and trying out the different poses of the throne. She really liked it and before we went back home, she bought one.
She placed the new throne, I should say her new throne, in our skybox at home and than had her way with me. It’s hard to describe my feelings. Mistress Jenny was on bended knee for me just 24 hours before. My green lights are granted by her, because she also likes them and Mistress is for sure dedicated to me and owned by me. BUT within just a few hours, Mistress demonstrated to me her strength, her power and her determination to keep me enslaved as her Ehesklavin. She will not allow any perfunctoriness and keep me on my toes. Once again she left me locked in the straight jacket and wearing mittens when she logged of to tend to her RL.

January 19th – Mistress Jenny’s new throne: trying it out at Dangerous, a Place for Women and at home

Mistress had announced to get inworld later at night and being restricted as I was, I didn’t want to go inworld. Instead I continued writing my blog post for my upcoming rezzday anniversary. When I came inworld, Mistress Jenny was at club DeLust. She had come inworld earlier than planned. She summoned me to her and we talked a while about what happened before in the afternoon. I could talk my feelings off my chest. Not that it changed anything but it was very helpful. Mistress exchanged my sub collar with the Ehesklavin collar and to be honest it felt very appropriate and even past due.

January 19th: slave Flo’s new restrictive outfit / Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin Diomita

Slave Flo had come inworld in the meanwhile and we went home seeing her. I had in mind changing her restrictive outfit into something different but also restrictive. We went inside of our house and Mistress Jenny watched while I had slave Flo stripping for us and while I selected and adjusted her new outfit. When I had finished it was about time to retreat already. I was a bit more relaxed again accepting my position as Mistress’ slave and I was allowed to serve her before we went off and to bed.

I had a busy Sunday in RL and Mistress wasn’t inworld as well. We met at night and played two rounds of greedy with slave Flo, then we went roaming for a bit and visited Mesmerize Dungeon, Psi’s realm and Lochme. But nothing was going on there, hence we returned home. We were about to leave when Argi and slave slut cecy showed up. It’s good to see that Argi as well as slave slut cecy stay in touch. We didn’t see them often the last months.

January 20th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita roaming with slave Flo to Mesmerize Dungeon and Lochme / at home with slave Flo and with Argi and slave cecy / Mistress Jenny and Ehesklavin (right)

Mistress and I retreated and before we went off and to bed, Mistress used her new throne and her strapon with me. And that’s it for this diary entry, about a Saturday with a lot of emotions from my side and about a very relaxed Sunday.

Simploring 2019 (11) The VR Planetarium Dome – Space Station Resort

For my simploring tour on January 17th/19th I picked “The VR Planetarium Dome – Space Station Resort” from scoop.it SL Destinations.  What caught my attention is that The VR Planetarium exsists since 2008(!) in Second Life and that I never heard about it before. And even Annie Oh (anniebrightstar)’s scoop.it SL Destinations just has one entry listed. The VR Planetarium Dome – Space Station Resort is owned by Ambrosius (andoni merlin).

The VR Planetarium Dome – Space Station Resort (1) – Landing and entering the capsule

The landmark led me to a small plattform just below of a huge turning spiral. Zooming out, I could see The VR Planetarium Dome below. The impression is that the dome and the attached steel construction are held in its hoovering position by the turning spiral. Stairs lead down to the top of the dome and further down to the attached construction. I went down to the top of the dome first. There’s a box, where you can grab a key card:
Find the key-card in a folder of your inventory and add it. The key-card attaches as HUD to open the doors in the asteroid. If you are wearing the score HUD, the key-card will also load your points at the main door of the asteroid.
Ok, for whatever this is necessary, I took the key card and went down to the construction. I peeked inside of the dome. It looked very interesting. I saw planets inside and changing backgrounds but postponed a visit and entered a capsule instead that I reached by climbing up a few stairs. I first didn’t realize that I entered the capsule of a rocket. I got 3 destionations offered: Asteroid Base, Asteroid Up and
Earth Repository. I selected Asteroid Base ….

Space Capsule 2: No-return point!!!
Space Capsule Call: COUNTDOWN 10…KEEP CLEAR!
Space Capsule 2 whispers: Systems GO, Autopilot is on command.
Space Capsule Call: Ignition
Space Capsule 2: Lift Off

And then I began my space flight, which ended tragically. The rocket stage separation failed…

Space Capsule 2: Proceeding to rocket stage separation
Second Life: You died and have been teleported to your home location

Ups …. I was home again. What was that? Did I forget wearing the key card that I got? Do I have to join a group? Ok, another try. I went back and entered the capsule again, wearing the key card on a HUD. Later I found out, that you don’t need the key card for a successful flight. I might have been a pure accident. Anyway, my 2nd space flight was successful and I landed at the Asteroid Base.

The VR Planetarium Dome – Space Station Resort (2) – Asteroid Base

Space Capsule 2: No-return point!!!
Space Capsule Call: COUNTDOWN 10…KEEP CLEAR!
Space Capsule 2 whispers: Systems GO, Autopilot is on command.
Space Capsule Call: Ignition
Space Capsule 2: Lift Off
Space Capsule 2: Proceeding to rocket stage separation
Space Capsule 2: Rocket stage separation complete
Space Capsule 2: Engines off, you are into orbit.
Space Capsule 2: Destination set to Asteroid Base.
Proceeding to a routine verification…
Stand by for a new communication in 1 minute, over.
Space Capsule 2: We are about to enter the asteroid’s gravitational field. Initializing protocol for landing.
Space Capsule 2: Approaching maneuver to Asteroid Base
Space Capsule 2: ARRIVED!

Hint: Once you arrived you have to get out of the capsule quickly, otherwise you’ll return to The VR Planetarium Dome with the capsule.

The Asteroid base is a steel construction attached to the asteroid. There’s a screen with pictures of the starry sky, constellations, nebulas together with explanatory texts. There’s also a sci-fi bar and a lock to enter the asteroid. Next to the lock is another box, where you can grab a space suit, another HUD for collection points, weapons. I also saw a score list. At this point you need the before mentioned key card to opperate the lock: First click the key card, then the lock – et voila! I didn’t wear the HUD nor the space suit or any weapons. Behind the lock you enter into a spiral tube and I walked inside. My exploartion once again ended quickly. I was attacked by aliens and soon “died” once again and was returned home.

This seems to be fun! I need doing it another time again wearing the according gear and weapons. Later I found the follwoing description: “This is not a game, it’s a challenge to your Second Life skills. There are no rules, use what you know, wear what you have, it’s not cheating if you just follow a few instructions.”

The VR Planetarium Dome – Space Station Resort (3) – Asteroid Up

My next journey led me to the Asteroid Up. This time you get inside of the asteroid where you can walk around a huge vessel of hot magma. The way around the vessel ends a lock where you need the key card once again – and enter the tube with the aliens this time from the other side. Luckily I didn’t meet any aliens enterting from here, but at some point the tube is blocked when you enter from this side.

The VR Planetarium Dome – Space Station Resort (4) – Earth Repository

I then selected Earth Repository for my last space flight. This flight passes the asteroid and leads to a sphere hoovering above a huge tube. Inside of the sphere you can sit down on a platform and watch videos like in and 3D video dome. I had a rollercoaster drive – impressive and very well made as it feels as if you’re sitting on the train. There are more 3D videos but I just saw the rollercoaster.
Besides sitting down and watching 3D videos you can also walk through a spiral tube down to the tube below of the sphere. I did that and I dared to jump down into the tube and landed in sea of green glibber. Touching a red dot at the wall the sea suddenly opened and I fall further down and ended in the hot magma of the asteriod. Incredibly, I didn’t die *winks*

The VR Planetarium Dome – Space Station Resort (5) – Earth Repository, the fall through the tube

Last but not least, I explored The VR Planetarium Dome. At the entry you find some explanatory pictures about Second Life. There are also teleporters to the Asteroid and the Earth Repository – but taking the rocket is way more fun!

The VR Planetarium Dome – Space Station Resort (6) – Entering the dome

The VR Planetarium Dome is a huge sphere, where you can take a seat and watch the space. The projected pictures are taken from the NASA/JPL/ESA/Hubble. Again, this is very impressive and for someone who likes taking pictures like myself …. WOW

The VR Planetarium Dome – Space Station Resort (7) – Impressions of inside of the dome

To sum it up: I had a very entertaining visit to The VR Planetarium Dome – Space Station Resort. And I haven’t really explored all of it. Fighting the aliens or watching more 3D videos, watching more pictures of the space with all the explanatory texts, or sitting longer in The VR Planetarium Dome could provide many many hours of fun. You can even dance in The VR Planetarium Dome with the space as a background and enjoy the fitting space music. It is a fantastic place to visit in Second Life.

Thank you so much Ambrosius (andoni merlin) for providing this gem for all of us! I did enjoy my visit a lot and might come back for a longer visit, if I find the time for it.
