Myomy pockets her little notebook and takes up her camera. It is time to scout out some good locations for the upcoming NeoLondon Photography contest. All are welcome to come along while we explore the town, discuss what our characters would sense and say about themselves and what is happenings around them. [For this session, OOC questions about RP will be allowed in ((double parentheses) in the local chat.]

The NeoVictoria Project presents the 2014 Photo Contest
Contest runs the entire month of December.
Calling all SecondLife Photographers!
We had such fun doing photo contests in previous years, we’re doing it again this December! The contest is about capturing the spirit of NeoVictoria’s roleplay for a 2015 calendar.
The main criteria are the image is related to our storyworld and must be captured on the land level of the Machinima SIM or the NeoVictoria SIM in Second Life.
The first round of judging will be by the NeoVictoria community via the Internet. We’ll present the top 15 images in-world for a final vote to determine the twelve winners. In-world voting will be from 9 January through 16 January 2015 and will be located in the NeoVictoria SkyClub in Machinima SIM. Winners will be announced on 20 January at a special party in the SkyClub.
Gloria Silverstone’s “Big Top” won first prize in the 2012 contest.

About the Roleplay: In NeoVictoria, we do free-form dark roleplay. Free-form means there is no script; scenes evolve out of real-time character interactions. Dark roleplay means that characters often act in aggressive, predatory, criminal and/or plain uncomfortable ways. We use a simple dice-based wearable HUD called the Jade Kreations Role Play Tool Suite; avatars must wear this to see roleplay chat. The item is free and available in the out-of-character skymall.
Players do not have to be a member of our group to roleplay here; we ask newcomers take a tour of the Visitor Center in NeoVictoria SIM to learn about the storyworld before joining in the roleplay.
[Observer tags are also available for players who want to visit the land level, but not roleplay.]
About Our Storyworld: in the Neo’Verse, the Sidhe (fae) never faded, but worked with … some would say ruled over …their human charges until the Sidhe Empire spanned the known universe. So many races exist: faeries, demons and clockwerk constructs (powered by gears and magic), humans, vampires, werebeasts and celestials. All held against the ravages of time by magic, intrigue and human ingenuity.
Planet NeoVictoria (where our characters play) is a small planet, nestled in the VICO III galaxy, its citizenry cling to the land and sky, for its vast oceans are home to forces that do not heed the crown. But some are loyal to the Sidhe queen who sits on her throne billions of light-years away. Alexandrina Victoria Tuatha Dé Danann, Queen of Earth, Empress of the Void: one tap of her tiny foot on the Stone of Scone sets the worlds to shake. It’s 2130 and Pax Britannica has held sway for more than three thousand years.
a Clockwerk Gala to Honor the Veterans of the Sidhe Empire
An evening of roleplay, celebrating the Sidhe empire’s clockwerk warriors!
This Tuesday, we have an exciting event scheduled: our first ever clockwerk ball!
Time: Tuesday, 11 November 2014 from 6pm to 9pm, SL-time Location: Cathedral of Air & Darkness, NeoLondon [NeoVictoria SIM] Event Type: in-character party (known, and unknown, characters welcome) Organized By: Kitiarafox & Fianah Mistwood SLUrl: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/NeoVictoria/17/128/1004
Often sponsored by local veteran associations, “Clockwerk Galas” are very popular affairs, serving as fund-raisers and recruitment. The most amazing is held every Fall in Old London on Old Earth. It runs a fortnight with the oldest houses vying to raise the most money with fantastical parties and auctions. The “Royal Clockwerk Ball” closes the festivities; it’s held in Buckingham Slithen and all the Court attends. Here the most valiant of the year’s warriors are awarded the Sidhe Cross.

The NeoLondoners are planning one evening of celebration, in the nave of the great Cathedral. All clockwerks are welcome. Miss Tikta and Miss Kit are hosting, with all proceeds going to the local veteran’s association. [This is roleplay; no actual money is being raised.]
