Curse of the Crystal Skull


 1/26/13

Song by Dr. Steel (the song has been deleted from youtube)
Dedicated to Belle, who was undoubtedly the muse for this one!

My beloved audition act.  I had not performed it for the GB audience before now and I am so glad I waited.  I got the Spot On Mover and could use the full set the way I wanted to in the very beginning.  Without the mover I just slid along and I could not really start up on the crates like I wanted to. 
The inspiration was the core part of the set, the Pirate's Playground from Epic Toys.  It was a gift in the Skull and Bones hunt last year.  Belle had rented a tropical skybox thing that was 1/4 of a sim but low prim and a pretty good price.  Anyway we made a fantastic pirate build on it for most of the month she had it.  Playing on the playground one day with Renae and Ender converged with remembering the vision for a pirate act using the Dr. Steel song.


Not sure why I am smiling, definitely no smiler hud in this act, it is dark, serious.



"It's pulling me down, pulling me in
Pulling me down pulling me in"


The ship wheel stripper pole was kind of a pain, to many no copy/no mod things involved in this set.  I guess I can fix it one day with mod/copy items.  I am afraid to lose it.
The finale is another Epic Toy, the treasure chest that eats you.  I remember the first time I found out what it did, and I was new enough I really did not know where I was.  Te He he he, the innocence of Noob-dom.
