Restricted

No news in the title, is there?
It kinda tells you I'm still restricted, wooha!
As I should be, I hear you thinking. Right?

Indeed, I'm still locked in that marvelous tkISO suit, in an updated version, to be precise. Although I have no clue what has been updated, apparently just some bugs fixed. But by changing suits, it was also decided some settings were to be changed...

So I'm even more restricted as before now. Yay!!?

The slit I have to peek through has become even smaller, and my minimap and locations have gone, together with my inventory (why would I need that, anyway?) So exploring has become an even bigger challenge now. Remind you I was already cam restricted and seeing the world as if it were plunged in thick yellow lemonade.
I also have become more isolated, as my communication has been limited even more. I can't emote anymore, nor start IM. Together with the yes/no/maybe/dunno blinking thing, this is really severe, especially for a big mouthed brat as me. Oh yes, I can still answer if someone IMs me, but the hard part is how to convince them to start IM by only blinking?!

I haven't had too much time to go exploring like this so far (and I'm away from my good graphics computer for a couple of days atm) but meeting both friends and strangers can be fun if they too are willing to communicate. And that's the difference with a bane: real banes are not allowed any communication, and even have to avoid being around people. I don't think I want to go there...

yet?

Latex return

Hah! I return again. This time a little bit more persistent, it seems.


I also got completely sealed into a new outfit, to make sure I don't catch any (computer?) virus.
For me, it is brand new, but others may recognise it as Think Kink's tkISO suit. It really looks marvelous, but you need to put the SL viewer in one of the highest graphics modes to be able to enjoy the realistic seamed texture. Luckily I finally got my computer hardware issues sorted out by now ^^

The suit has also some very restrictive features, and my name wouldn't be Danii if they hadn't been enabled. Well, not all of them, to be honest, as exploring would be hard if TP was disabled of course. ^^
Hearing is limited (but that's default) and speech... what speech? No speech for me, just "blinking"! When I'm not wearing the transparent mask, like on the picture, I can make the whole face panel (the black thing covering my face) blink in a couple of colors. For those encountering my inworld and not confident with the color codes: green is positive (yes), red is negative (no), white is undecided (maybe) and yellow means "I don't know". I discovered there's also a way to make me blink blue: by trying to speak. But next to the blue blink, I will get very painfull electro shocks whenever i do that.
It's amazing how easily I adapted to have my communication limited to those four possibilities, but then of course I have some experience being a pony...
And there's emotes, however they can be blocked as well. Maybe I should tell them about the way I solved abusing emotes in my hood scripts long ago? So long it's up to me not to abuse emotes to escape the talking restriction.
Oh yes, I usually blink green twice to say hi or bye...

And then there's the visual stuff of course! I'm not doing a review here, but there's several options to give a pretty distorted view at the SL world, using both a hud and windlight settings. And the cam restriction of course. This should be the first restriction applied to any victim anywhere!
Those restrictions make exploring a little harder, and i may never see the places I visit as the makers intend them to be seen, but to find your way through a labirynth while peeking through a small slit at an extremely foggy or froggy green world, is so much fun and far more intense than camming around!

So, I'm sealed in this suit for now. For how long, I don't know, as I gave away the keys to someone I trust won't go soft in my restrictions, but also won't push me to cheat out.

For those on an older computer with lesser graphics: here's another pic:


See you!
