Barker? I hardly knew 'er!

It's that special time again that only comes around twice a year, and I don't mean your haircut. September is here, which means the Twisted Hunt has landed on us all again.

If you don't know what the Twisted Hunt is, it's one of the oldest (if not the oldest) grid hunt in Second Life. There's been many imitators over the years, and now dozens of grid hunts every month, but Twisted still holds a special place for those that have done it, either as a hunter, a merchant or like me, both. This was THE hunt I wanted to get in on when I opened shop. And now I'm on my fourth romp into the insanity. If this is your first time, please take the time to read through the website. It won't stop you from going insane, but it will slow down the process and maybe even make it a somewhat enjoyable trip.

The theme this time around is Carnival. Not a new theme as far as hunts go, but Twisted being Twisted, well... I think that scary clowns will be the least of your worries.

While it would have been easy to take the macabre route for the theme, seeing as how easily it lends itself into Goth, I decided to keep it a little more traditional.

There are three gifts in total: two outfits in the main path and the doll key on the Petite path.

• The Circus Tent outfit is comprised of an underbust mesh corset and mesh v-front skirt, both in 5 sizes. The velvet long-sleeved crop top comes in three clothing leyers, and a Lolas Tango applier for both top and bra layers.
• The Ringleader outfit is a mesh vest and pants, also in 5 sizes each. The velvet pullover shirt likewise comes in three clothing layers (plus pants and underwear layer for the bottom) with an unrigged mesh collar.
• The 3-Ring Circus Petite Doll Key includes both a rotating and static (non-rotating) key

All prizes and their components are copy/mod.

In addition to the three hunt prizes, there are two gacha machines set up in the store.

I'm particularly tickled with how the eyes turned out. It quicly went form "I wonder how this will turn out?" to "Oh, these things just scream Twisted!"

(it's not a perfect loop, but you get the idea)

 Both gachas are L$20 a pop, ten prizes and one rare each. All prizes are mod/trans for trading or gifting. The cheek piercings are ready to wear out of the machine, but the eyes are boxed. I've set up a small rezzing area for you to open them up. Look for the Lament Cube stripe around the gacha:

Even though it has an auto-return in effect, please be kind and clean up when you're done.

Best of luck with the Twisted Hunt, and all the fabulous prizes along the way. I hope you—

"HEY! What about the other stuff in the picture??"

Oh, you mean the top hats, the collar, bowtie and the shoes?

"Yeah! They're not in the prizes! What kinda scam is this?!?"

Don't get your panties in a bunch. You can have them too. They're in the chest in the middle of the store.

"...What's the catch?"

Oh, so you ARE familiar with Twisted Hunts. Good. If you want the extra prizes, you'll have to do a little more hunting. For all the gory details on the mini-hunt, click on the easel next to the chest for a notecard.

That really is all, now. Have a Twisted September, everyone.
