Hi dearest friend and reader! Sorry for the long absence, but we’ve been involved with something that’s sure to become one of SL’s must see spots—mysteryn11 Vollmar 's Sunnydale SL!
For those who don’t recognize the name immediately or wonder why it sounds kinda familiar, Sunnydale is the town that was the setting of the cult classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer! Who can forget the “twice dead and twice reborn” Buffy or the Scoobies, or the darker grittier spin-off, Angel?
Sunnydale SL is permanently set at midnight, very apropos for an RP sim that involves Slayers and Vamps. Starting 2008, the sim will be 100% role-play and is sure to be the premiere location for those who follow the Slayer or Vamp lifestyle.
So what does this have to do with us, you wonder? Well, the first likeness of a real person that I
crafted was Eliza Dushku as Faith. After that, I put her aside not really knowing what to do with her AV. Months later, I found out that Sunnydale SL would be opening as a RP sim and the target launch date was Halloween. Having about a month before that event, I decided that it would be uber cool and hott if a group of us went as the Scoobies. Little did I know what I was in for!
To make a long story short, crafting some likeness proved more challenging than others. While
and Spike
were relatively easy, it took 19 versions before I was satisfied with Buffy
and 25 before I stopped tweaking Anya!
It was also around that time that I considered opening a To Die For! Branch in Sunnydale, and it would be the only branch where we would sell our BTVS Tribute Series.
We were a big hit during the launch and the owner Myst took piccies of us on the stage of The Bronze which is so accurate and will bring back memories in any BuffyFan! In fact, I won the best costume! Yay!
Sunnydale SL consists of Light areas like Buffy's house
and the Magic Box (with a special back room for Slayers in training!)
There's also Willow's Wiccan Academy and a Slayer School is in the offing!
The Dark side of Sunnydale currently features the Black Bar, also managed by Jude. It's hauntingly beautiful both in and out and is sure to appeal to Vamps! Locales for Vampire Nests are also planned!
Sims like Sunnydale SL are what make Second Life truly magical! They give us a chance not only to visit the places we could only dream about and have loved for so long but also allow us a chance to become part of it!
Sunnydale-SL rocks and Buffy Lives!
