It's Gallery Time Again!

Friday, November 24th

OoC Information: THIS IS NOT AN IN-GAME EVENT! This is meant as just something fun to headcanon for your character (and write about if you like - especially with @daily-writing-challenge starting on the 26th), if it is something they are able to attend! If you do choose to write any stories about this, please feel free to tag me - @vixannya - in the body of the post and use the tag #7deadlysins!

Vixannya owns an art gallery in Dalaran where she hosts various art exhibitions throughout the year. Two or three times a year, she will display her own work which is always accompanied by a massive grand opening and follow-up afterparty in another location.

Invitations are always given to those who make large contributions to the gallery and to the arts in general, as well as to prominent families from all over, friends, fellow Tarts, and those depicted in her work.

VIP access goes to the largest contributors, her muses, and anyone who purchases one of the pieces from the gallery on opening night. Even if your character cannot attend the grand opening and afterparty, the gallery is open to the public for a month! !Adults only!

Her final exhibition of the year is:

The red carpet treatment always marks the entrance of the gallery,  a place for the guests to show off and be photographed in their designer gowns and suits, or whatever else they choose to wear. The fashion seen here always rivals that of the city’s grandest galas, just don’t upstage the art!

A group of master illusionists have transformed both the inside of the gallery and the afterparty space, with the various rooms mirroring themes in their separate locations. The themes: Pride, Gluttony, Sloth, Greed, Wrath, Envy, and Lust. The gallery version of each space is a little more simplified than that of the afterparty, in order to feature the art over all else.

The art itself has a single or multiple subjects, each containing one of the sins in some manner. There are 45 pieces in total; most small or medium size with at least one larger piece in each section. All of the paintings fall within her main area of focus, the one she has become well-known for, Death. All paintings are premonitions of how her living muses will die, according to her. Many of which, in the past, have shockingly come true.

The After Party:

While most of her after parties consist of four very different spaces that match the theme of the gallery itself, this one has SEVEN different spaces to each represent one of the deadly sins.

Pride, Gluttony, Sloth, Greed, and Wrath are the ‘safe’ areas! While drinking and drugs are acceptable everywhere, the lewd acts are reserved for the last two sets of locations.

Envy and Lust are the ‘anything goes WITH CONSENT’ areas.

PRIDE: Grand ballroom with a large dance floor, orchestra playing classical music, champagne towers, large chandeliers, waiters at your beck and call.

GLUTTONY: Massive buffets, fine sit down dining, bars with every type of alcohol (and drug) available.

@serazhen can be found working behind the bar!

SLOTH: Massages, saunas, facials, mani/pedis, large hot tubs, any other type of spa service, quiet and nap rooms.

GREED: High stakes poker, blackjack, craps, roulette, jazz musicians and singers.

WRATH: Various popular rock/metal bands and mosh pits to begin the party. DJs playing EDM, raving, neon lights to close out the party. 'Rage rooms' in the back for people to go ham breaking all variety of things!

@tristennedarkmorn can be found performing on lead guitar with one of the metal bands!

ENVY: Cabaret and burlesque performers, aerialists, body shots, live peep shows featuring singles, doubles, or more - with the opportunity to become a part of a peep show.

@rylandfalkov can be found performing in this area mostly on stage, occasionally in the peep show!

LUST: Escorts available, BDSM demonstrations and experiences, private or group rooms, open spaces where anything goes! Masks available for anonymity.

@dicenne can be found here for demonstrations and experiences!

Remember, what happens at the after party stays at the after party!

One Tag Meme to Rule Them All

(aka one giant catch up post)

So rather than flood your dash with lots of posts, I’ve decided to combine everything together in one post! This will be either the Best Idea Ever™ or possibly the worst. I am going to boldly fly in the face of tradition and not actually tag anyone (mostly because I’m answering like almost a week late), but if you would like to tag yourself in, the more the merrier.

Onwards!

First up, tagged by @rinskiroo!

11 Questions

1. Do you watch personalities/shows on Youtube? - I do! My favorite that are still consistnetly pushing out content are probably Nostalgia Critic and Todd in the Shadows, but I have a special place in my heart for The Spoony Experiment and especially Paw Dugan, who’s infectious love for everything he plays is a joy to watch.

2. Hulu or Netflix? - It used to be just Neftlix, but Hulu Live sucked me in by letting me watch my favorite shows, so it’s about even now.

3. Favorite Disney movie? - Tough choice! I love so many! I think right now it may be Tangled, because I adore Rapunzel.

4. Favorite band/singer? Abney Park

5. Fanart you would commission if you had unlimited monies? Oh goodness... so many ideas, but only one slot... I think I would probably commission something in the style of the painted of the Star Wars movie posters and the game’s splash screens for the expansions. The hard part would be deciding what part of the Knight’s saga to represent.

6. Your OTP to end all OTPs? It seems to be Jedi Knight (Hero of Tython)/Theron Shan at the moment. It’s consumed me completely.

7. Dream car? Tesla Model X

8. Favorite cookie? Sugar!

9. Cake or pie? Mmm, pie

10. Favorite Star Wars creature? WHY MUST I CHOOSE? I CHOOSE PORG. NO WAIT EXOBOAR. I CAN’T CHOOOOOSE

11. Would you rather crawl through the dungeon or fight the dragon? Can I make friends with the dragon? Must we fight? Maybe he wants my pie! Either way, if there’s a dragon, I’m probably going in that direction and getting crispified. Because dragons.

This is the part where I’m supposed to make up 11 more questions and tag some peeps but, uh, I got nothing. So... on to the next meme!

Music Meme

Tagged by: @jeswii, @aki888, @insufficient-focus, and @lumielles.

Since everyone is tagging themselves, I’ll need 20 volunteers to carry on in my stead ;)  Uh, let’s see what’s next...
