Over the last week I made many changes to Refugium, my island in Second Norway. This time it was not just the usual reshuffle of furniture… There are whole new builds and features, and the place has taken a darker, Gothic feel to it.
The
landing point is close to the dock. From there you can walk towards the castle, or into the forest.
The castle itself is a beautiful build made by Compulsion. It looks primmy, but it has actually saved me a tonne of prims, as I’ve been able to house inside everything I used to have in my previous home building(s), plus the Refugium meditation centre, and then some more.
Walking through the gate, you will find yourself inside a court where there is some food available (there’s always food and drinks everywhere on my parcels :D). Behind me is the new meditation space, a chapel-like room whose interior will be familiar to those who’ve been attending our daily meditation sessions.
Nothing on my land is strictly speaking private, and people are welcome to come inside the castle. On the ground floor is my sitting room and kitchen…
The top floor serves as bedroom… But I wanted to show you two special rooms. One is found on the first floor, and it’s dedicated to celebrated gay artist Tom of Finland.
The other one is the basement. There I make my potions and do other witchy things… One of the walls is a tribute to one of my favourite TV shows, the original Dark Shadows from the 1960s.
I won’t say much about what’s in the forest. Just be careful when you get to the cemetery, as this is the season when the veil is thin… You don’t know who or what may creep out of those graves!
Once you’ve made it safely to the other side of the island, you will find the new entrance to the cinema. It used to be on a mainland parcel, but now I’ve been able to move it to the island. The hall itself is in a skybox, but here you can get some popcorn and use the teleporter (it’s the time machine lying on the floor, next to the ticket booth).
At the northern tip of the island there’s another dock for boats, and a cafe with Halloween treats.
As I’ve gone a little crazy with rezzing, I’ll be removing some of the things soon after Halloween, so please visit until then. Again, here’s the
SLurl.
P. S. Silent movie nights take place Fridays, starting at 1 pm SLT. You can find the
