The hills have eyes

Gypsy Moon has been around for a few years, but I’m embarrassed t say I didn’t know about it until recently. It’s an island with a store where they sell a variety of fantasy inspired… stuff. Things that glow, crystals, rainbows… things that look really impressive in the dark.

The vast majority of the island, however, is a fantasy-land built to show off the items for sale. So, hey you don’t have to buy anything to see these things in their full glory. It’s so jam-packed with things to see that you’ll find yourself waking in circles. It’s a fun and sometimes disturbing journey.

Beware, however… the hills have eyes.

Along some of the paths you will find very, very bright glowing crystals. I like the orange ones. Do I look evil enough? Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

You are being watched. All kinds of… things… with eyes pop out and stare at you. After a while, it gets a little creepy. And when I say “after a little while” I mean, “immediately.”

You know somethings wrong when you’re hoping those two fleshy things sticking out of the ground are severed fingers and not a Viagra promotion.

What, did you think I was kidding when I said the hills have eyes? THE HILLS HAVE EYES!

The zombies are harmless. They can’t hurt you (the land isn’t damage enabled), but in the process of attacking you they will tear each other to pieces. Their fleshy remains are in the form of.. eyes. Again with the eyes. Aaiiiiiiiiieeeeee!

So I looked at this tree and a voice came booming out of it. He asked me to engrave a message in some stone tablets, but I left my chisel at home. Oh well, I’m sure it wasn’t important.

    I’ve never chatted with the creator of Gypsy Moon, katykiwi Moonflower, but I’ve spent a lot of time in her sim and, yes, it is disturbing. She has created a dark atmosphere without resorting to the conventional horror/gothic dreckola that so often substitutes for imagination in SL. The adjacent sim (Moon Shadow?) is also quite beautiful and worth exploring.
