Ratpack @ The Roadhouse Bar

Ratpack @ The Roadhouse Bar

With ease and a practiced flick of her wrist, Snot flips the switchblade in her hand open and closed, over and over again. Slow at first, the action became a blur as she increased the speed. With a loud sniff, Snot wiped her nose on the back of her arm. Yes, that’s how she got her name.

Her eyes scanned the room, noting the position of every patron in the roadhouse bar. Rats, Mice, even a Squirrel or two sat at the makeshift tables and chairs they scavenged after the Apocalypse.

The Apocalypse – the day when the humans destroyed their own species and elevated others into higher forms of life. The Mice were the thinkers; the planners. The Rats, Snot’s ancestors, were the muscle; the heavy lifters. Squirrels were the scavengers; the trackers who found human items and made them useful again.

A couple Rabbits trolled the room for, well, what rabbits did the best. One spotted Snot and moved seductively across the room. It sidled up close to Snot and nuzzled her neck. With a sweep of her arm, Snot pushed the horny Rabbit away. The warning look she shot the Rabbit told it not to return again.

It’s not that Snot was against afternoon sex or cross species mingling, but she was on duty and took her responsibilities seriously. Especially today, when a contingency of Weasels was scheduled to arrive to meet with the local Mice leaders. Snot would not allow any distractions.

The survivors of the Apocalypse were determined not to make the same mistakes as the humans, but even in their un-evolved form, animals were also territorial and bloodthirsty.

Speaking of the devil, a pair of oily looking Ferrets stroll into the bar and survey the surroundings. Just like the Rats, the Ferrets were enforcers; bodyguards to the Weasels in their own little part of this messed up world.

Apparently satisfied with the room, they step back and hold the makeshift door open of Wartman, the leader of the Weasel encampment up north. Macro, the leader of Snot’s community, stands to greet the arriving leader.

Today was about peace, cooperation and trade. That didn’t mean Snot wasn’t prepared for trouble as her eyes continued to scan the room. It was the Rat’s nature to watch for danger. After all, they were all animals in one fashion of another.

The evolved species that developed from the human’s global devastation were determined to live together in peace. They would not follow in the footsteps of humanity and allow hatred and aggression to rule the Earth again.

Or with evolution, was human nature far behind?

Survival Of The Fittest

Survival Of The Fittest

To say the world has changed is an understatement of biblical proportion. Damn humans and their damn weapons. Good riddance to them all!

They thought theirs was the superior intellect. Sure, they harnessed nuclear weapons and developed biological warfare. Then they were stupid enough to combine the two and created the Apocalypse.

The global holocaust that followed eliminated 95% of the human population. The remaining survivors were not so lucky. Many died a very slow and very agonizing death. The rest, those immune to the manufactured biological agents were nothing more than mindless lumps with the mental acuity of a rock.

Another assumption the human race miscalculated was that cockroaches would be the only living creatures to survive the devastation. Oh, they survived and grew to the size of horses. What they did expect was us to endure – the Mice.

The humans underestimated our intelligence and our strength. Where their weapons wiped them off the face of the earth, the Mice were enhanced by them. We grew in size that exceeded the largest humans and our intelligence quotient far surpassed their most learned scholars.

We, the Mice, took control when the Apocalypse came. Not the way the human’s would when the strong bully the weak. No, the Mice organized the survivors, all the species of animals that did not fall. We gathered food, built shelters, tended the injured. Everyone was treated with fairness and compassion. Everyone has a job to do and no one is better or worse than their neighbor.

Our cousins, the Rats, also grew in size that slightly eclipsed the Mice, though their brainpans grew to a more moderate level. The Rats are the laborers in this new world – the muscle that carries out the jobs that require brute strength.

It’s no Utopia – the human’s arrogance saw to that. But the species that lived to tell the tale of the Human Apocalypse will not make the same mistakes. We learned. We adapted.

We are the future.

Angels & Demons – Part 1

TUNES

Dreams, sensations you prove
Are taken from nature
You find those emotions are true in your mind
Fight against the kingdom of fear
Sooner or later they’ll try to convince you are wrong
But I’m sure,
We’re just
Crawling angels and demons disguised
The truth you don’t know so try to be sure
When your angels and demons arise
Face the truth, God is not love!
Feel as fluid as life,
Love is a rainbow
As much as it seems to be real
It’s all in your mind

Open mind for a different view…

TUNES

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

What are you laughing about?
If you aren’t a joke?
You gave me all of my power
Everything I own

What’s the point of complaining
If you are ready to obey
You either a fool or acting like me

And again a pose set took me to the dark side – and sometimes I do enjoy it 😉

This time it was the “Obey Me” fatpack of Black Cat Creations and all those amazing new releases at Kinky and The Warehouse Sale. The fatpack contains 5 poses (and their mirrors) and as well that cool, long whip, which you can re-color to 5 different colors. The cool outfit and the skeleton wrap I picked up at the last FLF while those cool collar, arm and leg sleeves, which match so perfectly to it are one of the awesome releases at the actual round of The Warehouse Sale. I would love to drag your focus on my earrings as well. They are the newest creation of Eclipse Art Studio. An unrigged set of earrings perfect for any kind of mesh ears. The whole gacha is a huge collection of all kind of earrings, while I am just wearing the rares with that awesome little Vikings shield and the chain which connects all the little circles behind it.

While I never would put a whip in my hand in real life, I have to admit i really love how those pictures turned out *grins*. Let’s see what else poses can seduce me to in the future *winks*

And there were sales again… and some new releases as well certainly!

When I got that super cute outfit from +Psycho Barbie+ – the “Mei” outfit – which comes in 3 parts (top, corset and sleeves), I immediately had a “Lolita” impression. Maybe it was the ruffles, or because it looked so cute, I have no idea. But I wanted to do a sweet look with some edges with it. Ok I have to admit, maybe “sweet” isn’t the right word, lets go with playful *giggles*

The awesome No_Cradle hairstyle from no.match, which you can find at the current round of eBENTO, just matched perfectly. It does have 2 different style options, for my post I just used the one with the hair behind the back. You have another option, where a huge wisp falls over the left side of your face, but that didn’t work too well with the cool chain veil from Six Feet Under 😉

I have to say I do enjoy my new “duty” to make pictures and blogs with the loot of my sale shopping and I will try to go on with them between the posts for my amazing sponsors – certainly you will find them featured as well in most of my looks anyway… credits as always down below 🙂

The one that you fear is so close
The woman tattooed with the rose
Claws that are sharp, she’ll tear you apart
Make you into food for the crows

Revenge is her aim, she’ll make you pay
She talks a mean game and she’ll blow you away

Get out of town as soon as you can
You don’t want to face the Queen of the Damned
