We <3 RP | Three Twisted Knots

One thing I can tell you: I am no fan of complex puzzles, games that delight in making you lose (obviously gachas are an exception), So the truth is, I don’t do a lot of scavenger hunts.But when my friend (and I’m so honoured to call her that) Riven (yes, that Riven, of the whimsical and magical Rivendale), told me she had some items for the Twisted Hunt, and would I be interested in blogging them, I said, “Sure” without hesitation, because Riven‘s items are always wonderful to see and play with.

Gwyneth also has some homes to get ready for the influx of people into Faerie.

Gwyneth also has some homes to get ready for the influx of people into Faerie. This is one of those homes. It’s from the current round of The Arcade (mumble, mumble, gachas, mumble mumble, see above), made by 22769, a lovely little Victorian number that she thought would look great out on the edge of town, not far from the Book Forest.

Of course, Faeries are attracted to beauty, whether it be dark or light.

Of course, Faeries are attracted to beauty, whether it be dark or light. So there had to be a few accents to make the place attractive from the outside, before anyone ever passed the threshold.

That’s where these rose trellises come in!

That’s where these rose trellises come in! Riven did such a lovely job with them, and the wood textures on them matched so well with the wood accents on the house that I knew at once where I wanted to put them.

And, as the Fae world moves into Autumn, splashes of colour become more and more important. It’s one reason why I chose these !go! boots from a past Fantasy Gacha Carnival for Gwneth; their green makes her happy against an otherwise quiet ensemble, colour-wise, for her. It’s also why I chose this lush hair from the talented mind of Truth Hawks (Natalie, currently at Uber), so that she’d have a little bit of summertime lingering around her.

The trellis set includes an arch, a wide trellis, and a narrow one.

The trellis set includes an arch, a wide trellis, and a narrow one, and it’s all copy/mod, so you could put together a whole country garden based around this hunt prize.

The narrow arches perfectly balance the wider side of the house.

Of course, just grass and rose trellises were looking a little empty….

…so Gwyneth had Bran and Kern lug some of The Plastik’s Dragon Benches into the front garden.

…so Gwyneth had Bran and Kern lug some of The Plastik‘s Dragon Benches into the front garden, as well. It makes this house look more like a home, somewhere any contemporary Faerie would want to put down their own roots in.

All in all, the house exterior now looks so much more complete!

All in all, the house exterior now looks so much more complete! Gwyneth can get on to more fascinating things and move about her day.

But who can resist the pull of Fae Roses after dark?

But who can resist the pull of Fae Roses after dark? It’s as if little Wisps come to float around them, giving the garden that special, magical glow that makes for the perfect home.

And then of course there’s the beauty of the individual flower.

And then of course, there’s the beauty of the individual flower. Worth contemplating, touching (but not plucking!), losing oneself in.

Ah, if only Gwyneth didn’t have so much more to do. I know she could contemplate these roses for hours if there weren’t so many things pulling her in so many directions.

Oh, well. Some lucky Faerie will get to live in this house and enjoy these roses every single day. And that’s enough to call Gwyneth’s work here finished.

*Remember the part where I said I wasn’t very good at hunts? Let’s just say my friend Syeira and I gave up on the Twisted Hunt after about 30 seconds. If you love hunts, you’ll love it!

Gwyneth:

I remember the walk through the woods was long. I don’t know why I was walking: I always seem to forget I can fly in these dreams.

The sky seemed to have two settings: completely overcast, or blistering sun.

I looked down at the red dress and boots, wondered why I was wearing such things. At the same time, it seemed completely normal for me to be wearing such things.

It seemed there was some kind of a disaster, but it hadn’t occurred recently. A plane had crashed, and it looked as if some people had made a camp beneath one dilapidated wing.

Sometimes, sorrow lingers around old things.

Sometimes, sorrow lingers around old things, even things that have been “repurposed” (I hate that word!). Just one touch of my akin to the wreck brought back an image of the plane going down, the pilot and copilot’s fear in their final moments.

I felt I could not bear it, so I moved away.

I felt I could not bear it, so I moved away. There was a jungle fire burning in the big rubbish bin. It must have once been an oil drum or something: I could smell the residue.

But then I thought of the people here, now.

But then I thought of the people here, now. They must just have left. Perhaps they went hunting? Perhaps they are just out on some kind of patrol.

Just this once, maybe I’d leave a Faerie Gift. No-one had to know. I willed my magic in to physical form and left it, diamantine glimmers of Hope that blended in to the dirt like tiny, iridescent bits of mica. A little magic. Perhaps a tune that comes out of nowhere, or a comforting smell.

What it amounts to, of course, is Hope. And everyone needs a little bit of that.
