Friday is finally here, and not a moment too soon! It's been a busy week in the EI lab, and some of the students have been upset and less than eager to help out with research. Some of the experiments seem to have escaped, though I use the term escaped loosely. Clearly, the experiments are still lurking about the lab, so technically, it is not a real escape, is it? I don't know why they are so upset about this "incident". One thing they are not upset about, however, is the fact that
Aria Dannata,
Pandaista, &
Moira's Fashion Flashback have made some fabulous evolutions this week!
Aria Dannata moves along at a chilling pace: Nearly a year has passed and the mysterious opera is finished. The cast has been hand picked by our Playwright and audiences flock to the opening night. The city has been abuzz with whispers and rumors about the budding young writer and her tragic masterpiece.
The curtain rises on a chilling scene. The lone Count Fantasme, heir to a great unknown treasure stands alone. His expression is that of terror and sadness, he is stricken with an unknowable grief. The audience gasps! A silhouette moves in the shadows of the theater, making it's way to the unexacting Count.
A loud cymbal crash, a flash of crimson. A scarlet cloth falls from the Count's hand as his assassin stabs him, only once. He falls with a loud crash, blood welling on his lips. A pool forms beneath him, and the actors scream.
The prop knife clatters to the ground slick with blood, not a prop at all. Our Playwright rushes to the stage as chaos breaks out in the theater. She clutches the Count close, whispering to him words of love as he dies. The actor's body goes still, he was her fiancé in truth.
Pandaista continues to follow the adventures of the fashionably cute and quirky Qin and Ling! Qin and Ling leave the salon together, ecstatic about their new dos. However, once outside, Ling realises a problem with their recent change in appearance. "Hey," she says, "Don't you think we're a little--" "Incomplete?" Qin grins cheekily as he finishes her sentence before adding, "You know what this means." She pumps her fists excitedly and throws them into the air, screaming, "SHOPPING!"
The two hop from one store to the next, picking up trinkets and clothing, yet unable to find what they are looking for. "What an epandamic," Ling sighs. "Fur real," Qin concurs. They slump against one another, expelling deep twin sighs. Just then, an idea hits Qin. "Since we can't seem to find something for ourselves--" Ling intercepts, completing his sentence, "Why don't we shop for each other?! That's a great idea!"
Unsurprisingly, both end up at Pandora, a spiffy store that specializes in all things pandaface. The two meet up in front of the fitting rooms and hand over their finds, anticipation building as they try on the clothes. "Pandastic!" Ling squees, bursting from her stall first and twirls in the dress and necklace upon her body. Qin follows quickly after, laughing in his sweater and tri colored scarf, only to stop abruptly when he sees her. An odd feeling of familiarity flits across his memory, but he can't quite place it. Ignoring it, the two then decide to continue browsing the store.
Moira's Fashion Flashback gives us all a little more intimate understanding of our fiesty and fabulous Moira! Moira pulls out a large history book of fashion throughout the ages and the first thing that strikes her is the bold style of rockabilly from the 1950s. This is where rock and roll really took off and it excites her! Moira loves the strong feeling these women evoke but they style might be a tad too feminine to her so it's time to experiment some more.
Wow, that is a lot of activity for one week - how exciting I can't wait to see how they continue to evolve! At any rate, you can grab these exciting EIs in the Gaia Cash Shop now! We'd also love it if you'd stop by the
weekly poll and let us know which Evolving Items are your favorites. See you next week, friends!
