Pullip doll: Taeyang Wayne

I received my Taeyang Wayne in last September. He is a doll really hard to find. I have seen him on sale only once and that's when I grab him without hesitation which is huge for me because I tend to hesitate until it's too late. I just really wanted him. He was the first Taeyang I had my eyes on but everyone around was telling how impossible I had to get that I had almost given up on him. He was just on my amazon wish list with "unavailable" written next to him until one finally appeared. Seriously, last September was a really lucky month doll-wise and I hope I'll have a lot of months as lucky in the future. 

Since I had a lot of doll to introduce at that time and that I only upload one photo session a week on this blog, I'm adding not only the pictures of the box opening but also the out door photo session I did at the children park next door.

WeWriWar 136: Rainbow Catcher

Welcome to a new excerpt of Rainbow Catcher for the Weekend Writing Warrior and Snippet Sunday. 

Now let's go back to our story.

Summary of previous episodes: Clarissa is coughing and wanted to watch Everett Cooper on TV but Jason refused, she is due to get her rainbow the next day but she seems scared, to make her feel better Jason leave the TV on. Clarissa tried to explain about rainbows, she is a big fan of Everett Cooper but Jason is not too sure about it. Clarissa complained about her dialophone but Jason needs to go to work. Before completely leaving he is thinking about getting her her rainbow. We flashed back to the meeting Jason had with a rainbow seller at the black market. Jason left Clarissa's room to go to work. Jason was talking to his boss about the rainbow coming the next day. Jason prepared the money for the rainbow in a sport bag and went to the hospital. The rainbow seller arrived for the delivery.

We start just where we left off last week.

“I don’t have all day,” the fat man answered, putting the last notes back in the bag.
Clarissa was now staring at him with her deep dark blue eyes, making him feel uncomfortable.
“Just wait,” Jason said, closing the door behind him. He stopped at the nurses’ desk at the end of the corridor and asked for doctor Marshall.

The fat man pulled up his jacket’s sleeve to look at his watch. It was almost 1pm, he needed to hurry out of here.
“Hum,” he cleared his throat.

Azone doll: New Year Lucky Bags.

I went to my first ever lucky bag event in Japan. After so many year, that's a wonder I didn't try before.

I know that the Lucky bags on New Year's day are typically Japanese so let me explain how it works. Every store, that want to participate, offers a bag with random goods from their stock for a fixed price, the customers line up and get one each. No crazy black Friday rush, it's first come first serve and every one is nicely queuing. The Azone store in Akihabara was offering several types of Lucky Bags. All were interesting but I settled on a pullip bag and my boyfriend took a pullip bag for me too.

So I ended up with two Lucky bags and The New Year LilFairy Lipu. Azone also has New Years dolls every years. I'm waiting for the special doll show even though the other version of Alisa was on sale yesterday. Can't get them all, even if I want to.

First, we queued outside until 10am, it was a bit cold but luckily not so much. Then we went up through the building and queued on the outside stairs from the seventh floor to be able to enter the Azone store. There were a lot of people, not as many as I first expected but we were really early. The event was from 10am to 11am, then the store was doing event plus normal opening.  

I decided to get pullip bags, one by myself and one that my boyfriend would get for me. I had a bit of problem with the semi transparency of the bag, because I could see the dolls without really see them. So my brain went on, the I can choose so I can make sure I have a good one that's not already at home rampage. My boyfriend didn't even register the drama going on, he took his bag and run to queue for paying. I hesitated a lot but finally got something really quick. Then we analyzed that I had none of the dolls and that my boyfriend got one of the doll on my wish list and one that I considered adding to my wish list and I had two totally random dolls which I might not have thought about. I think that was a good thing to get them because they are totally awesome. 

Here are some pictures:

First the Classical Queen, which makes only Alice Sepia and The Classical White Rabbit missing from the Classical Alice series. 

Then Taeyang Twilight Destiny. He is the prince of the Snow White series. I don't have Snow White but I have the evil god mother both versions.

And my boyfriend got me the Rozen Maiden Keikujyaku who was on my wish list.

And the Isul Fairy Lumiere. I was always hesitant about putting him on my wish list because for me Isul is always a boy and the Fairy Godmother of Cinderella is supposed to be a woman but he still looks really amazing.

And to finish, of course my new lil'fairy. Happy New Year Lipu. She is my only Lil'Fairy maid as my other Lil'Fairies are from the second generation.

Vampire Friday: Vampire Heart 50

Happy New Year! 

Have you been bitten yet?

Sign up to be part of our awesome Vampire Friday blog hop team! You know you want to!

Summary of the previous episodes: Viorel has been tortured by his supposed family who wanted to have him burn in the sun. Strangely enough the sun didn't burn him as expected but Viorel has no memory of who he is. Following the advises of his supposed father, he left Sighișoara and is now traveling to the West. After some skirmish in a previous city, he found refuge on a boat. Viorel is now in Vienna. The little problem is that the guy at the inn was a bit of an asshole and helped capture Viorel thinking he was a vampire, which he is but nobody needs to know. Now there is a huge man (which I call the colossi) taking care of Viorel and a priest. They brought a girl. Torture my holy water... Fail. Viorel managed to confuse everyone, now he would like to get out of here. But the girl seems pretty useless. They still managed to escape and he left the girl to the care of the boat lady before going back to have two words with his captors but his power of persuasion were failing him. The priest wanted to crack a deal but Viorel is not really up to help his enemies. He finally got some blood but he can't risk to stay in Vienna. He travel to Linz were he stays a bit to learn German.
Viorel wanted to go to Praha but redirect himself toward Augsburg instead where he wants to get a horse, except that the horses are a bit scared of his vampirism and maybe something else. Viorel is really not a horse expert. Then he comes into an altercation with couple of people, he wants some fear in his blood. The girl Viorel has found seemed to enjoy the game. Viorel prepares for the nightmares that come with a feast of blood, in a rush to leave, he cross the dukedom of Lorrain.
We introduced Sorina, three weeks after the beginning of Viorel's escape. 

Now, let's continue with Vampire Heart, right where we left of last week. 

“You would almost look acceptable now”, the master said looking at her.
Sorina draw back a little but the servant pushed her and she felt on her knees, her fragile legs refusing to carry her any longer. She just found enough strength to look around. She recognized the vampires she had seen with Viorel so often when they had come to her father’s inn at night. They were all looking at her in silence. She didn’t know what she was supposed to say or do, she wished she could have been somewhere else, very far away. She wondered where Viorel was at this moment. He was her only chance to stay herself now but she knew that if he hadn’t come back already he wasn’t going to come back anytime soon. She lowered her head and looked furtively at the door behind her measuring her chance to run to it before they jump on her. That was hopeless, she couldn’t even stand. She hurt her helpless legs looking at them as if it was their fault but she knew it wasn’t. It all started when the others arrive and when they decided to play the dangerous game of meeting with one of them.
He didn’t seem to be dangerous the first time he came to the inn. He didn’t look like a vampire at all he had deep green eyes when theirs were bright red due to the frequent blood they were sucking out of people. He was being really nice to her, as they were talking she felt like she was falling in a dream unable to move away from him. It was as if all willpower had left her. And suddenly Viorel was between them holding her.
“Are you ok?” he asked not taking his eyes of the vampire.
“I think so”, Sorina muttered as if she had just awaken from a very nice dream and just didn’t remember what it was about.
“Did he do anything to you?” Viorel asked again anxiety in his voice.
“I don’t think so”, Sorina answered holding him tighter.
“I didn’t touch her, I didn’t know she was yours, most of human’s are ugly here, can we share, I won’t drink but”, the boy answered.
Viorel pushed him violently.
“She is not for drinking”, he said. He walked around the counter with Sorina trying to put something between her and the other vampire. He jumped on the counter and squat there putting his head on the side looking at them strangely.
“You’re not like the others”, he said humming the air around, “you two smell the same.”
Viorel didn’t really understand what he meant by that. For him nothing was smelling like Sorina.
“What do you want?” he said defensively.
“I’m kind of bored. I’m tired of traveling so I hope I can stay here a little, do you have anything to eat?” the vampire said.
Viorel grabbed the first fruit that came to his hand. It was an apple and threw it to the vampire who started to laugh. He jumped down from the counter and turned around. “I’ll pass the word”, he said reaching the door. He threw to apple back to Viorel without even turning around and when Viorel caught it, he was already gone.
