Dio’s 11th year in Second Life Feb 11th, 2019 – Part II

Yesterday, I had my my 11th anniversary of joining Second Life.
It has become a tradition for me to write a longer blog post on the occasion of my rezzdays, to have a look back on the last year and to realize the changes in my Second Life as well as the things that didn’t change. Yesterday, I published Part I of my anniversary entry and talked about my closer family and the changes in my family. Today’s part 2 is about my simploring tours and other highlights of my 11th year.

Let me start with my simploring tours, and there were many! I admire the creativity of artists in this virtual world, I visited galleries like DaphneArts, La Masion D’Aneli, Diotima, Niflheimer Art Gallery, the Alphalune Creations gallery of Berry Richez, the VOIR gallery and lately the gallery of Gem Preiz. I explored 8 installations and 2 exhibtions of Cica Ghost, who always conjures a smile in my face. I attended several light shows of Mario2 Helstein.
I also saw and reported about quite some installations that were supported by the Linden Endowment for the Arts (LEA) like Gem Preiz’ Demiurge, The Labyrinth Experience or Light thoughts 4 and many more. In the meanwhile I know a little bit of the art scene in Second Life and I am looking forward with curiosity to my 11th year in SL and the art I’ll see.

I found many cosy and lovely sims where people buildt their own dreamworld, peaceful and picturesque. You don’t need many prims or a large place for it, Sweet Paradise of the Darks and Cake are examples for that. Most of these dreamworlds were homesteads: Maison de L’amitié, Wild Edge, Season of Joy, Hinansho, Glenrosa, Winter Moon, Adele, Baileys Norge, The Silent Mind, Chochou … just to name a few. In these sims I spent relaxing hours and enjoyed the views and the peace.
Some were really particular. I want to mention the Zany Zen Railway, a tiny, almost cute railroad crossing several sims. Zimminyville did impress me too with it’s two so different parts, the lovely picturesque town and the moon colony. And just rescently I visited The VR Planetarium Dome, not only an instructive place, but offering great views and also lot’s of fun.

Then there were the sims that have a real background, where a place in the physical world was build in Second Life. This way I got a picture, an idea of the real places and my visit gave reason to do a little bit of research. The Beguinage of Bruges (in Belgium) was one of these impressing places and I spent some time learning about this place in the real world.
I never heard about the Isle of May, Achill Island, Black Bayou Lake or Rummu – now I have the feeling that I’ve been there already, not only because I read about these places and saw pictures but I got a 3-dimensional impression in Second Life.
Outstanding was also the visit of the Chateau of Clagny, a place which doesn’t exsist anymore. In Second Life it came back to existence.

I also discovered many places related to my kinky side, to BDSM. That’s another dream you can live in Second Life and I do. Unfortunately some of these places don’t stay long like the Knot Society, Club Fem, Silent Manor or Mastering the Zen.
I discovered Meadow Rose, a perfect combination of a dreamworld, cosy and picturesque but also with it’s kinky corners. I was also impressed by The Citadel, a combination of art and kink. We visited the Tentacles, a park which was created by our friend Starbright Wingtips. We also visited the Steampunk prison of her.

Thank you all for building, for creating and for sharing your dreams with the rest of the community. And please apologize if I did not mention all of my tours, it were simply too many. I did really enjoy all of my simploring tours!

What else happened in this 11th year?
Again way more than I expected before reading back my own blog. And way more than I can summarize in this blog entry. We had several 10th anniversaries: Kitty’s 10th collaring, Jenny’s 10th rezzday, Jenny’s 10th collaring, Mistress Jenny’s and my 10th wedding anniversary. We also had 2 weddings at our sim, held in the chapel that was once errected by Danii Szydlowska.
Angelique performed at the Little Princess Ballet Academy Show in February 2018. She also spent a lot of time “working” as a maid at the Hilltop Manor located in The Apostasy. Angelique spent a short time serving at Sainte Agathe Castle. And together with slave Flo Angelique “worked” at the Paradise Finishing School.

slave Flo and AnneWanne were our twin drones and provided a lot of fun for us, mixing them up as Flo drone and Drone Flo. Later we had quite some time where our slaves were Rubber Rocket Dolls. Trying to tempt people touching the rocket boobs and getting Rubber Rocket Dolls themselves when the rockets hit them, was fun.
Our slave kelly was rented out for more than 2 weeks to Antony (antonygift) and made some new and exciting experiences away from her owners.

Mistress Jenny became more and more the (not secret) decider in the background as my submission to her got deeper and deeper. My red lights, when she takes full control were very intense, in particular as my submissive feelings got stronger each time. This way my green lights were highlights for me in this 11th year and I look forward to those Mistress will grant to me in my 12th year. Mistress Jenny now got a mesh head too, it was my present to her for her 10th rezzday in March 2018. She’s just adorable in every way!

We also still enjoy bondage in all forms. We tried out new racks and new toys like the serious plug pear or the serious nipple rings. The slaves, in particular slave kelly, made some incisive experiences with the pear.

I continued creating one “Enjoying Bondage” picture per month, that always also highlighted the activities of the according month.
Last but not least we had our great Friday night parties every Friday. We think that it might be the longest regular weekly party in whole Second Life with a duration of more than 11 years. Virgo is still our dj every week and we enjoy starting our weekends dancing and chatting amoung friends. Thank you, Virgo!

Mistress Jenny and I as well as the core members of our little family are embedded in a great community of friends, we know some of them way over a decade now, some for several years and some are new friends of ours. Even if not mentioned by name in this anniversary blog post, these friends do mean a lot to me. SL is first of all about people and it’s you all who make my and our SL what it is: Still going strong, still enjoyable and still exciting! It was a great 11th year in Second Life and I look forward to the 12th!
Love from Diomita

Diary 2018 (120) July 9th slaves and subs on display (III)

When I came inworld Monday afternoon, July 9th, I noticed Gwen and Leana being inworld as well. They both were still on display on the slut platform next to our Stonehaven patio. After releasing their gags I talked a bit with them. slave Kelly came online as well. She was still at Psi’s realm with her exposed bare behind and the pear plug available for all to play with. I decided to bring her home and to display her between Gwen and Leana.
Well, that was the plan at least. I suffered of terrible lag. Moving Leana to the next podest took ages, the menu of her cuffs did not respond properly. Finally I succeeded making room for slave kelly and I went to Psi’s to pick her up. When I returned I had the same difficulties with leashing slave kelly. It took very long.

July 9th: slaves on Display (Gwen, slave kelly, Leana)

Mistress Jenny came inworld and after we had caught up quickly with our RL and SL news, we tried to find out the reason for the tremendous lag. Unfortunately that took long and spoiled any fun, fortunately we found the reason. The lag was due to the leash holders at the slut platform. After unleashing the slaves and removing some of the leash holders, the scripts did respond again in an acceptable time. I must have an eye on this issue, in particular as I don’t understand the reason. But the problem is solved. I did make some nice pictures at least from the displayed slaves and I intend to take one of them to create July’s enjoying Bondage picture. 

Monday night was quite varied. I took Gwen, slave kelly and Angelique to our Fetisch Club Chez Maurer and relaxed with a cup of coffee. When I asked Angelique to take the tablet with the coffee and to put it away, she simply said “no” …. as if this word were allowed! I ordered her over my lap and spanked her hard in front of Gwen and slave kelly and finally she did as I desired. Fortunately she didn’t pee on my thigh.

When Mistress Jenny came inworld, we first went to a shop, where Angelique saw an otufit she liked, but it turned out to be a gacha, which is the most expensive form of buying clothes. We returned home where slave Flo was present in the meanwhile. Angelique had to leave for bed. We got a call from Auriane Lane from Sainte Agathe Castle, where Angelique served as a maid a few weeks ago and agreed to see Auriane in person to discuss about Angelique’s progresses and about her further engagement there. slave kelly and slave Flo accompanied us and they behaved well.

Our night ended with slave kelly at club DeLust, where we spent half an hour very relaxed and caught up with all news.

Diary 2018 (85) May 16th Angeliques first day at Sainte Agathe Castle

Wednesday, May 16th, Mistress Jenny and I went to Mesmerize Dungeon with slave drone Flo and slave kelly in the afternoon. I had some interruptions due to RL and was not present all the time and I even did take no picture. But we found time for some chatting and for cathcing up with eachother.
I started my night at Second Life quite early and went on a simploring tour visiting “Silent” (read yesterday’s post here). When Mistress Jenny came inworld I had just returned from my tour and I told her about it. As Mistress’ favourite colour is purple I returned with her to “Silent” and we spend some time there together making plans for the upcoming weeks. Mistress Jenny will be on vacation the first 2 weeks of June and will miss her 10th collaring anniversary but she hopes to get inworld during her vacation at least sometimes. And I will get a longer green light on the occasion of her collaring anniversary.

After we returned from “Silent” we had a round of Skipee with slave drone Flo and slave kelly did clean our both boots while we played. We brought slave kelly to Gwen’s storage when we had ended the game and stored her there in the basement in a nice spacious cell with a toilet (aren’t we generous?), then we went to club DeLust for a bit before it was bedtime for us.
Anything else? Yes!
Fristly Mistress Jenny replaced my Ehesklavin collar with my normal sub collar and ended my red light by it. Thank you, Mistress Jenny.

Secondly I had a call from Auriane Lane who sent a transcript of Angelique’s first day at Sainte Agathe Castle. Mistress Jenny and I enjoyed reading what is going on and how Angelique spent this day. Here are some highlights which provide some insight of the training and the methods.
There are several menail chores like scrubbing, dusting and vaccuming. The maids get a certificate for 10 minutes of work and Auriane expects them to get 6 certificates per week. Auriane checks the certificates regularly. To foster the team spirit between the maids they are allowed to help eachother if a maid has problems getting the according number of certificates. The chores may also be a punishment, then Auriane demands a higher number of certificates.

May 16th: Madame Auriane with maid Angelique at Sainte Agathe Castle

There’s a clear hierarchy among the maids. Angelique starts at the bottom of this hierarchy. Each maid’s rank is represented by the colour of her uniform, a green uniform represents the lowest rank. Above the green is the pink uniform. Above the pink is the beige … up to the black uniform, for senior chambermaids, and the black dress without apron, for the governess.
At the moment, there is only one girl with a pink uniform, all others are in green. Higher ranked maids can give orders to lower ranked ones, they can also punish them and look after their work. They are responsible for the discipline. If Auriane is displeased with a maid, for one reason or another, she can be demoted. So if a senior maid is too harsh with the junior maids, she can pay for it later if I decide to send her back to a lower rank for punishment. However, most of the time, a strong girl has more chance to climb in the hierarchy than a shy or kind one, a kind girl can reach the top, but she must inspire respect and trust to others.
Then Auriane told Angelique about other rules, for example which pose she had to use when she stands silently during a family event or reception, the she has to curtsy, to be polite and that she has to work on expressing herself in an appropriate manner.

Mistress Jenny and I look forward to hearing more about the maid training at Sainte Agathe Castle.

Diary 2018 (84) May 15th Angelique at Sainte Agathe Castle

When I came inworld Tuesday, May 15th, in the afternoon, slave kelly was inworld. I went seeing her although Mistress Jenny had left me with my arms tied up in an armbinder bag. Being unable to leash slave kelly I took her to the office and sat down. Then I ordered her to spoil me. She was a good slave girl and satisfied me and she enjoy her owners juices, a rare treat for her.

At night Mistress Jenny and I met with Angelique and told her about our meeting with Auriane Lane at Sainte Agathe Castle. Angelique was shocked hearing that Mistress Jenny had decided to sent her there and that everything was already prepared. Auriane had agreed to take care of Angelique and to make her a perfect maid.

Auriane Lane: we are one of the strictest houses in SL, our reputation is not to be done anymore
Diomita Maurer: that sounds just right, Maam
Mistress Jenny: that is why we came here
Diomita Maurer: she .. ehm… Angelique is a bit bratty sometimes, Maam
Auriane Lane: do you want to keep contact with her during her training or not?
Auriane Lane: she will not be the first nor the last one, Diomita, believe me
Mistress Jenny: you will be in control of that
Mistress Jenny: whatever you think is best
Diomita Maurer nods accepting Mistress’ clear decision in this matter
Auriane Lane: I will grant her one phone call per week at the beginning, not less not more
Auriane Lane: later when she is trained, you will be able to see her and to talk longer with her
Mistress Jenny: very good
Auriane Lane: I have got to warn you that we practice corporal punishments on lazy or clumsy maids
Mistress Jenny: great, we would expect no less
Auriane Lane: Good. I needed your Agreement

May 15th: Mistress Jenny and Diomita with Angelique at Sainte Agathe Castle Meeting Auriane Lane

I called Auriane and she was available, so we took Angelique to Sainte Agathe Castle where we met with Auriane again, this time together with Angelique. Once again Auriane laid out the strict rules of her institution and confirmed to take good care of Angelique. You could sense how nervous our niece was when we were talking about the training with Auriane. Mistress Jenny gave Auriane plenty of rope for the training and Angelique pleased us standing next to us accepting the decisions made.
Then it was time to say goodbye to Angelique for a while. We left her at the castle with Auriane and went back home. I’m curios what Angelique will have to report when she’s allowed to call us the first time and I’m even more curios about Angelique’s progresses in becoming a perfect maid.

At home we met slave kelly and slave drone Flo and we played a round of Skipee together with slave drone Flo. slave kelly was busy cleaning Mistress Jenny’s and my boots under the table. Before bed we visited club DeLust for a bit with slave kelly, who danced for us an the other guests there.
