this just looks amazing...

...so I just had to rejump through to get a pic. hoping whatever was going on could spare me.

Christmas Corpse

I jumped through a gate an there was a corpse sitting there next to a wreck. there was others around the gate but I didn't feel threatened because I am nice like that :) So I zipped on over and took it. The loot was still in the wreck too so it must have just happened.

Aki Ituin > HEY
Aki Ituin > THAT WAS MY CORPSE
Aki Ituin > RAT BASTARD CARACAL
Violet Aeon > lol "WAS" is the key word i think
Aki Ituin > YEAH IT WAS
Aki Ituin > dammit
Aki Ituin > Have a merry christmas corpse!
Violet Aeon > o7
Aki Ituin > 7o

Twin Caracals

Lets just say that I think Elanore and Anna are about to embark on a whole new level of fun.

EVE online Character creator

I have been wanting for a long time to start a thread on enhancing and getting the most out of your profile pic in the EVE character creator, or the 'salon' as I like to call it :) In actuality it is a very comprehensive combination of services which are more akin to a day at the mall to give yourself subtle or complete makeovers. Then when u are all done with that you get to go to the photography studio. And is a lot of fun :)
Your profile pic is an important tool in showing who you are in EVE so I like to change it up pretty frequently because I think it helps to not just portray who u are, but what your current mood is, etc etc. There are things you can do without a re-sculpt or anything invasive like that to showcase your assets or even help to enhance or minimize things about yourself which by doing very small changes you can make flattering. Such as like , well, I am sort of ,um, "fluffy", so certain clothes may be more flattering to my figure than others. sometimes it can be as simple as a slight turn of your body, or one pose vs another, or even the lighting which can enhance rather than detract from your look. A combination of wardrobe, lighting, poses, makeup, hairstyles, and everything available to you can make a big difference in projecting who you are. And each when used in combination with each other can make a very big difference in your look.
I can go on and on but with this 1st installment I will discuss basic lighting.



Here are 3 pics I have taken before finalizing my portrait. In each I have sat in the exact same pose and did not change my facial expression either. But as you can see how by simply changing the lighting without doing anything else how much difference it can make.
(If you click on the pics to enlarge to full size you can better see the differences)

In this 1st one I think I look a little puffy. and the light seems a bit flooding and doesn't show definition very well.


This one I think accents my features a bit, is more flattering also in that it is not quite so harsh while still very even lighting and not hiding anything. I think this is my favorite of the 3


This one has a definite slimming effect due to the direction of the light and adds a sort of mysterious quality to my pic. Though the harsh shadows might be a bit distracting. although I do like using this one sometimes. especially as you turn your body or head a little bit it can really be a very diverse setting. Something we will get into later in more detail in this thread.


So play with the lighting, very subtle changes in the light itself can make a big difference. The position in your pose or the tilt of your head, in relation to the lights direction, can also alter your look even with the same lighting setup, and remember this, Lighting is not just about the light. It is about the shadows created by the light as well so keep that in mind. all these things work in conjunction with each other to achieve your look. Have fun!

NEXT: POSES

A new corp Tee

Ok so we hav a new corp tee!

yay for random acts of piracy! thats is the stuf that makes for a "spicy" environment in New Eden. This creepy stuff that they do is, um, creeeepy. I think they are like a religious cult. there must be coolaide involved. :)

Impulsive Piracy

Elanore Wansmore > omg I hav been sooooo very bad
Anna Ishere > I was dragged into it by default.
Elanore Wansmore > no no no, I cannot start having a conscience, nope, striken from the mind on this one
Katsu Masanori > Hello ladies
Elanore Wansmore > shhhh
Elanore Wansmore > yu are going to hate me
Katsu Masanori > why?
Katsu Masanori > what did you do?
Elanore Wansmore > we jus did the most bumbled up totally full of mistakes episode of piracy ever we did. but got lots of booty. you kno, loot.
Elanore Wansmore > it took an hour to do it :p
Katsu Masanori > nice work
Katsu Masanori > plan it better next time
Elanore Wansmore > killed a retty
Elanore Wansmore > O.O don't shoot
Elanore Wansmore > 54 mil retty. But there's more.
Elanore Wansmore > but so Anna was there jus to collect the loot an I lost my cata before it was dead because Concord got there. It was quite tanked.
Elanore Wansmore > so Anna had to finish it off
Elanore Wansmore > then we had no looting ships in the system
Elanore Wansmore > so we had to wait out the timer an stand guard over the wrecks
Elanore Wansmore > an so all we had was the noob ships and it took a number of runs to get the loot from all 3 ships
Elanore Wansmore > so then I noticed that there was a lot of ore so I had to run all the way home for my miasmos, but it wasn't fit so I had to fit it and get back there
Elanore Wansmore > it was during this that Anna was watching over the wreck in her noob ship that we noticed his pod was still there
Elanore Wansmore > so recently I hav taken to not killing pods but I looked him up and found he had a preference for expensive pods so I gathered the ore then had to go all the way home again for another Cata
Elanore Wansmore > but the fits were not in the same system so I had to go elsewhere for the fits jus hoping he would not wake up. I seriously think he blacked out wen we were shooting his barge cause his strip miners were chewing rocks.
Elanore Wansmore > well, and so I got there an warped to zero on Anna who had strategically poised herself and then shot I the pod
Elanore Wansmore > :(
Elanore Wansmore > I am feeling sort of bad
Elanore Wansmore > but it was a almost 200mil pod
Elanore Wansmore > so thats why I say u are going to hate me. but I was all jacked up an adrenalized so I jus kept going
Anna Ishere > Meanwhile I am loading the Miasmos for the trip back home with millions of loot of our 3 catas and stuff from that retty
Elanore Wansmore > sell off the ore. quickly.
Elanore Wansmore > ya but I think its safe to say we are getting away from here fast as we can now
Elanore Wansmore > but so for the record none of this happened we were jus here having quaffe ok?
Anna Ishere > Actually Violet doesn't need to know about the pod
Elanore Wansmore > Katsu hates us now
Anna Ishere > ummm, ol, innocent an was jus in the wrong place at the right time
Elanore Wansmore > i was only ratting an trying to work on my sec stats to get them up an wen we warped in he was jus sitting there mining an I jus shot without even thinking abt anything.
Anna Ishere > all I saw was flashes and then Elas ship exploding so I jus shot. it was total confusion
Elanore Wansmore > wen I am trying to be nice and jus rat or things like that I need to stay away from blue pill an exile and all that stuff. trigger fingers get twitchy. And I jus feel nothing can hurt me but I dont think about how the victim is because I dont kno them or...
Elanore Wansmore > ...or anything
Elanore Wansmore > and now we are going to move the Miasmos back home before anyone gets wind of this
Anna Ishere > Kharma says we lose the Miasmos on the way back home :p
Anna Ishere > GEVAERT's Frozen Corpse. Well we got the corpse too.

Elanore Wansmore > Anna needs to fly the Miasmos cause she is not seen as the devil like I am in some of these systems that we are going thru on the way home. I will provide cover with the caracal
Anna Ishere > wonderful :p
Anna Ishere > By the way, this ship is called a Nereus
Elanore Wansmore > what the hell is a miasmos? lol is that even a ship?
Elanore Wansmore > miasmos whew, ok at least they look sort of alike.

Anna Ishere > yep, Katsu is mad alright
Elanore Wansmore > I know. She's not even talking to us.
Anna Ishere > ooops


Elanore Wansmore > OMG! 2 systems out we hav to go back! I forgot to empty my hangar into the Nereus

(Jumps through the gate back into Masta)

Sillicon Aideron > o/ Ela!!!!

Katsu Masanori > wondered what you were busy doing
Elanore Wansmore > it was a long story. I will write it up or copy this log.
Katsu Masanori > ok, giv eme a link after you are done
Katsu Masanori > you can send it thru evemail
Elanore Wansmore > total disfunctional piracy
Elanore Wansmore > Sillicon Aideron u wanna help escort us back to Vasala?
Sillicon Aideron > Sure, since there are neuts in the pipe, I might as well.

Tentacles in New Eden

Anna and I were out exploring a new area of New Eden, up to no good, but u didn't hear that here ;) Anyway, we came across this cosmic ore site. CREEEEEPY !!
It had some strange tentacle deserted ship there. the tentacles were all moving around an such like that. We were sort of hesitant to even get to close to it. There were other things there like abandoned drills, and some old outpost that a large asteroid appeared to hav come to rest against it tearing it up some. There was a lot of other things and everything was sort of hard to focus on because there was a weird glow coming from somewhere I couldn't even quite pinpoint.
I don't know what happened way back whenever but I think whatever it was was at one time some weird drone stuff. It all just seemed sort of alive still even tho I believe it had long since become deserted. we hesitantly stayed because our curiosity was up. We stayed long enuf to be pretty sure nothing electronic or carbon still lived there.
Ohhhhewww, tingling up the spine jus looking at this place.
Here is a few pics. trust me they do NOT do it justice an there is not reely any way to get the full effect without flying around thru the stuff for a while.
Maybe you will see something like it sometime. creepy as it is I am glad I have seen it. there are a lot of strange things in New Eden and I am always amazed.
~Ela

My Caracal looks wicked mean!

Look what Violet bought me for my Caracal!!!

Doesn't she look SWEEEET with her new paint job!?
~Ela

adrenalin, burning, and beauty

Ela resurfaces momentarily

Violet Aeon > Ela? Are you safe?
Elanore Wansmore > for now. I am a little fuzzy. I am fine
Violet Aeon > where are you?
Elanore Wansmore > indisposed
Elanore Wansmore > I kno wat u are thinking Vi but I am not going to do something stupid.
Violet Aeon > well be safe and sort thru things
Elanore Wansmore > 200 max items in contract :p
Guardian AvengerVII > ?
Elanore Wansmore > i am trying to give u the stuff I hav in LZ except for a few personal items
Elanore Wansmore > you could maybe use them there more than me
Guardian AvengerVII > nah it's kk
Guardian AvengerVII > i hardly visit LZ
Elanore Wansmore > like u dont need a skirt or some heels
Guardian AvengerVII > nope...lol
Guardian AvengerVII > gonna kill my tough guy image with those
Violet Aeon > :p left clothing in LZ. thats some reeeeal forethought
Elanore Wansmore > :p
Violet Aeon > poof, she's gone
Guardian AvengerVII > yeah

a new degree of loss

I feel sick. I feel empty and I feel lost. Elanore is a drug I hav to have.
OMG Where are you please come back. I am so lost. You are a part of me and dammit there is something missing and I don't know why I care. You have caused me stress and great grief. You have cause others to hunt me and pass judgment on me for YOUR actions but I still need you and this is not fair! What did I DO!
I sit here harvesting an ice I don't care anything about. the only reason I DO THIS IS FOR YOU YOU ARE DENYING ME EVRYTHING BY DOING THIS. you need to be back here AND I DON'T CARE WHY YOU LEFT I CANNOT DO THIS ALONE!
there no one here. This icefield is empty in hi sec and there is 40 pilots in the system. This makes no sense. unless there are those like YOURSELF entertaining the thought of finding someone like me here. Alone an unprotected. a sitting duck but I don't care. You Hear me Ela Let them shoot me! Jus do it ok? Just throw it all away jus like you did before. and like u did before again. I am the rock here Ela but right now I don't feel that way I feel like I am betrayed and I feel like I don't care anymore.
So common gankers here I am jus do it ok!? jus do it!

I am stronger than this . I am

But I want you back.

Something has happened to Ela and I am worried

I am pretty worried about now. Because Ela threw a fit and did some things an then yelled at someone an, well, jus disappeared.
all I can find so far is at last contact a Gila had jus killed her ship. But there is no reports of her losing the pod.

This is the last transmitted image. It came with a note.
so far I have heard nothing.

New Blog cover pic is up :)

I think it is more fitting and updated to what is going on these days. I prolly will tweek it a bit yet but for the most part it is there.
It depicts some things which are important to us.
Such as of course anyone knows me knows I mine a lot of ice :) so there's the ice in bottom center.
The Leopard is there because it is hands down my most important logistical ship in New Eden. It allows me quick flight between my mining operations as well as a speedy run to a market hub should Elanore need an emergency vessel.
Of course Ela's signature Caracal is represented as well. It has turned into a very multifaceted and versatile machine for Ela.
The corpse shown is sort of a dual symbol. It is Ela's corpse, she both kills stuff and dies a lot too. And of course I collect the frozen things in a few custom built freezer hangars scattered around New Eden.
For the 1st time we welcome Anna to the cover. She has come a long way and reely has become a very integral part of our little family in a lot of ways. She has that industrial side that Neither Ela or myself have. And she can travel pretty freely thru all kinds of space. Some has said she is pretty slippery like that. The Catalyst pictured with her is not just some gank ship. As her ship of choice she uses it for a whole variety of purposes with an array of fits depending on her mission. Though she has been known to add a little support to whatever mission Ela needs at the moment. It's that rebellious yet loyal side we find so fun.

For those that are not familiar with us. Anna is the blonde to the left. I ,Violet, is the raven haired one in the center (tho u will sometimes see me as a bright white blonde as a camouflage when I am mining a lot of ice ;) , And Ela is that loose canon firey redhead on the right.
So see u in space New Eden, watch for all kinds of mischievous, helpful, or just fun times.

"Double Double toil and trouble Fire burn and Cauldron bubble"

Working on a new Blog cover:) but we need something to reflect what's going on so it is a transitional piece. Things are changing. We have things we are working on I think it will benefit here even tho we will probably be flying around less. Security wont be such a issue so we can tell you more of what's going on like that :) *\o/*. a new chapter. I think it will be fun. we will share it with you here :)

~Vi

I am not certain what to do...

...I hav worked hard on the system I currently call my home.
I stand here in dock staring out at the beautiful lines of my Caracal. "Pandemonium" is what I call her, and I kno how well she has treated me. How far we have come in these last 9 or 10 Earth months since I moved here.
I feel like I have accomplished a lot. I hav cleaned myself up an I have cleaned up my home system. It have created a safe and profitable "Blue" shipping system here. It has cost me much in time, energy, isk, and diplomacy thru both convo and missiles. Things hav changed in the last few days. I understand that this is the way it is in New Eden. I am fully aware. but right now somhow I feel a depression coming over me that all I have done, all I have worked so hard for may be coming to a close. Not jus for Violet to have a safe place to harvest her ice, but for my alliance and for the friends I have made here in the region. I have a dark cloud forming over me raining thoughts of that some do not understand the full scope of what has been accomplished here, and the benefits that have derived from it.
I must keep a positive outlook. I cannot let my demons come back to haunt me as they have destroyed me in the past. I understand why Violet gets so worried that I may do something from which I can never return. I kno that she is right. I must stay strong.
I am a pirate. I AM a pirate. I am a good pirate but I am a pirate with a personal ethics and code that drives me. I have my demons, but sometimes it is those demons that drive me to be able to do things otherwise I would not be able to do without them. They giv me a passion for what I do. I do not mean to hurt others with wat I do and for those that I do I am sorry. But on the big picture I feel I have done good things. I need someone to listen. I need someone to understand an be there for me as I hav been there.

someone forgot their binky an got all mads at me

Elanore Wansmore > (whispers) ....heyyyy thrashhhhher

Elanore Wansmore > :p lol
Elanore Wansmore > ok u speak out ass and u can go back to your crib now
Testicular Torsion > I am speaking facts from common knowledge about you.
Elanore Wansmore > besides, who the hell are u mr 2 day old char? lol

Elanore Wansmore > oh, must be a, wait for it....alt. who is hiding now? u never see me hiding in alts. I am as public about who I am as anyone can be in here lol.
Elanore Wansmore > so much anger. let it go and enjoy space

Then he left

I had another "Blonde" moment

Not to stereotype anyone but jus using that old adage because sometimes it fits me.
I used to go blonde wen I did silly things like fall asleep at the helm and get shot up by rats or whatever. or doing things like fitting up a nice new barge and flying multiple systems to set up a new mining operation somewhere an not noticing that I was still in my shuttle till I got there. yes admittedly I have done that one too. I wont go into other infractions and dizzy events just leave it to say that I have been prone to them in the past.
But recently, well in the last year or so (earth year that is ) I have mostly been going Blonde, and sometimes wearing as much White as possible, as a means of utilizing a little camouflage at the icefield :)
well throw that all away and bring back the dizzy cause yesterday I accidentally purchased over 1600 rigs at one time. O M G ! yes. I did that. And it wasn't even some scammy contract.
O.O
yes, go ahead and say it, whatever comes to mind because I did do that.
well, it looks like I will be selling more than my staple women's apparel for my income for a while.
keeping a good attitude about things tho. it's just what it is.
Now where's that wine. yes, please leave the bottle. thankyou.

EVE online july 15 unscheduled extended downtime

My understanding is that the Code was unsuccessfully deployed and they are trying to redeploy it.
Well, I don't know about you but I think that CODE should not be redeployed. Those guys are just annoying.

Here is a link to the EVE forum thread though. So that you too can post silliness that will help in no way at all :)
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=434663

Jus a matter of perspective

The following is a local chatlog Jus after being killed by a Cerberus, a Rapier, and a Proteus. I do like that at least on the surface it seemed like a revenge killing rather than jus some bloppers out looking to kill anything they come across. It makes it for a better fun times, in that it is content that we hav both created in some small form in New Eden.
So it was fun.
This is why I like EVE :) So much actual purpose and interaction can be achieved. and reasons for doing things.

The 3 faces of...

I don't know if Elanore looks Innocent, somber, or relaxed in this pic. But knowing her like I do I can say it is probably none of those. But I like the pic.


But no matter how she comes off in pics, this one is probably best descriptive type image of her looking deadly and intent. Always happy with her signature Caracal.


Ela took this one of me. idk, sometimes I think I look a little puffy, lol. but its all good. I do like the way my eyes came thru in this one tho. even tho they seem a little glazed. I think it was the wine. :)
Ya we are sitting here in the quarters drinking wine and doing important things like this while our ships get fitted up. jus a little wine. a little more wine....a little morrre wine...


Fly safe ~Vi

Sec stats, no hi sec cloaking, and a rage firing

So it dawned on me that this chatlog sort of is educational in a way even as it sort of defines Elanore a little in it's content. But there is info for pilots contained in it such as the effects of a low sec status, a little strategy, being chased by the cops. stuff like that. I chuckled as I read back so I hope you enjoy and it is a little informative.

Randomness spot for 2015

I helped someone learn how to make a contract today

2 Days since Joining Kurt Wulfgang found a frozen corpse and after much chat in corp he decided to contract it to me as his 1st contract for anything.
Glad I could help and thanks for the Body!

Ela loves her Glass Cannons

I got an excited message from Ela with this pic of her Catalyst just after killing a Blackbird. Burning and almost dead but victorious :)
Vi
sigh, She lives dangerously, lol

A Lengthy Pirate Day

I had a blast today. I had to wake up Violet though, And she had gone to bed a couple hours earlier, whoops, Well jus getting that out of the way, she wasn't reely very happy about that. So I jus want to take an say so. It is going to be sort of long because a whole lot happened. An I am sure I will leave some details of it out.Not in jus part because I was so unbelievably hung over at the start of all this. That prolly helped some with the earlier series of events along in totally chaotic fashion as I prolly wasn't with my full um, facilities yet.

Anyway, It all started cause I jus realized I had a Catalyst in the 0.5 sys I was in. Vi had just gotten there with a new Caracal because I was dueling with someone in a 0.4 system next door and some other asshat out of nowhere cam in an shot me in the middle of that :p So that was sort of frustrating. But I had a little whil left so I thot I would go shoot some rats or something in it. Something safe right? ;) But the 1st belt I came to had a retriever sitting rite there so I acted like I was jus ratting an saved a location. then I went to get the Catalyst. I renamed it "This is for you" it seemed fitting for what I was about to do with it. So I warped to my spot an I ended up a little farther out. like 20km instead of the 10km or so I hoped to hit. I didn't hav much time so I went in at it. I shud hav jus moved on but my twitchy fingers got the best of me. So before I got to it I webbed him an I should hav just shot 1st because there wasn't enough volleys from my Blasters. Concord killed my ship and I split out in a pod with the retty still alive. Definitely going back to my old fit I will tell u that for sure.

I went back and got the Caracal to return to my low sec base system and I found a MTU out at the field. I didn't even kno if it would get me a km but Khalia said after I asked her that it would so I shot it. those hav a little bit of a tank actually. Ihere was 5 cubes of ice in it an the Caracals hold wouldn't even fit one of them so I was heading to station. well I didn't hav a ship there with a larger hold so I emptied out what I had an went back out hoping I could fit one at a time anyway. but I couldn't. I looked at the info on the MTU whil I was sitting there an discovered that someone owned it. well duh, I gess of course they do but I didn't think about that wen I shot it so I found it to be a miner who I had blued. wich was alreddy uncomfortable because earlier another day we had blued each other. then I had a confrontation with Lindze but after my caracal exploded that time we had a nice long talk an we blued each other. It was shortly after that I was protecting Violet whil she mined some Ice and we were mining with the MTU owner. he had an Orca and a Procurer or mackinawa out there. I Dont remember which one, but that doesnt matter. Well Lindze an I happ[ened to be fleeted at the time wen she entered system and found them there. So it was sort of strange I was mining with them wen Lindze came in and shot both their ships whil I coudnt do anything but watch. Well such is New Eden. But I thot they would hav learned I gess a little so wen I saw it was his MTU I was pretty surprised. And uncomfortable again. I actually feel a little bad about this whole thing. But not too much.

So I undocked to see if I could fit a block an there was this freighter coming into station. Well another quick thot an twitchy fingers so I moved toward it as fast as I could and got it scrammed. The station guns started shooting me but I had to do it all at once, so I shot the ship, an then I had to kill the pod before she got away so I could send he back to some clone in some other system. Jus in case she had another larger ship there to retaliate on me.. The station guns were starting to deal me some good damage but I didn't want anyone else to come get the loot so I grabbed the corpse and opened the cargo. there was too much there once again an my Caracals hold wouldn't fit anything. I thot JACKPOT! I tricked the station guns by a warp out to a tactical and back in so I could hang there protecting my kills loot an figure out how this was going to work. Neuts were constantly flying thru system and that when I had to wake Vi. So she was going to bring the Itty over 2 jumps but then we remembered it had made its way back to Jita earlier. So we tried to contract her Procurer over to me but it turns out that hold wasn't going to be big enough either to get this stuff. there was a few cargo holds and a BOX! a very large box. I had to watch local real close right then so I called out for help from others I know if anyone can help me get some loot. Chandler answered the call and came to sys but he was only in a small Amarr ship. Guardian Servasse was a number of systems out and came running but he didn't hav a ship either but he found a Neurous for sale and grabbed it fast as he could and continued on.I was yelling Hurry Hurry! because there seemed to be a lot more neuts entering sys then. I was sort of freaking out a little because my ship still hadn't been repaired an it was about half dead alreddy. paranoid thots also that they were allies with her come to get some revenge or well, anything. But I sat there at Zero on the wreck and watched local close.
Guardian entered sys an warped to zero and snagged the loot. And the BOX ;) He warped off to dock at a station as fast as he could and I followed. We dockeed up and Chandler was alreddy there. This box was huge an it took all 3 of us and some leverage to dump it out of the ship. So we were all looking at each other with anticipation wat was in it, so We opened it and it was jus a bunch of frozen food :p lol. So after all that I gess I shot the ship too hard cause there was about 17,000 units of electrical parts or something that that was lost wen I attacked the freighter.
Well the whole thing was very nerve wracking but very exciting too and we had a bunch of fun with it. I think the whole day was a very fun day of pirateering because at the end of the day I ended up with the anticipation of a treasure chest :) Even tho it jus had food in it it is still my 1st treasure chest like that. I think I might jus hav to load it up with some zydrene and other pretty shiney things and go bury it on a tropical island on some temperate planet. Jus like a pirate of old Earth would do. I think I will do this actually ,
Yes :)

peacefully worried

I know sometimes Violet worries about me. seriously I kno that sometimes I sort of wear her out. She will say such. like actually "Ela you wear me out", Well I don't meen to but sometimes we hav these little talks and it is all good. we are beneficial to each other in a lot of ways.
But erlier we were having a little heart to heart and idk, sometimes Vi jus seems a little tired. and I try to consol her and remind her that we are immortal to some extent an no matter what I do I can fix it with a clone. Vi says whil that's true she believes there is some deterioration or something happens wen we die so abruptly to much an it changes the way we think or our brain functions. idk about all that but I kno wen I overdo things my body feels a lot better after a new clone. maybe that is because of the drugs, Violet says that is a big part of it an she worries about way down the road if it will hav bad effects anyway because wen we get a clone the consciousness is transferred.
Wel whatever it is I lov her because she does care an doesn't reely complain a lot about the things I do as long as it isn't negatively affecting her. to be sure som of the things I hav been working on with alliances for us an such has benefitted us both. But I kno she worries about me. Things are better after our falling out a few days ago (previous post)an I understand where she is coming from.
Today she jus was sort of tired like that and we were talking an she jus seemed a little vulnerable and meek I gess. I never reely saw Vi as meek, jus safe. I took a fast pic. shhh she doesn't kno this yet. of course she will soon enuf cause it is here now :), but there was something beautiful in it so I had to share it with yu cause I think it speaks volumes about Vi.

I am on a journey of discovery

\o This is Ela,
I am trying to not look like a criminal for a whil an trying to get my security status up some for this voyage.
Well, I have made a loop about 1/2 way around hi sec. using low sec that borders hi sec. I am charting a full route. Most systems are being bm'd tactically depending on spots or structures of interest to me. This could take a couple earth months possibly to reely get it charted the way I want it. It is sort of difficult sometimes because i can't reely go to hi sec for much except if i do it VERY quickly cause my current sec stat gets me shot at. Wen i finish it I want to get my sec status up to positive. then start at one system an run a crime spree all the way around. bouncing between hi sec and low for as long as my sec status holds out. then finishing in low for the rest of it. wen I hit -10 I will go home to null an buy a small outpost with a picket fence and chickens...sort of something like that.
age of discovery for me.

My ships of choice so far hav been Caracals. They are working out reely well for the type of exploration an adventure I am seeing right nowso my caracals are named "Trinidad" for Magellan's circumnavigatonal (<--close) voyage wen traveling and "Resolution" for exploring and tactically bookmarking a system. Captain cook's ship was the Hms Resolution when he charted the north. Both of them died in these ships also an I figure I will do that pretty much a lot too. so it fits :) second thot maybe I should call them the HMS Resolution" anyway. I meen I guess the Her magesties ship could apply to Violet cause she is sort of the financer of this expedition. Violet Aeon > STop, Ela, whoa wait. whoa. I am financing the expedition of discovery. what u do after it is done is your doing. my hands are clean

Well What Ela has left out is that she is also, besides her, um, more colorful activities, is charting out and discovering ice and anoms etc for me so I can set up some more operations of mineral recovery.

Elanore Wansmore > Vi, I wasn't to that yet
Violet Aeon > U passed it Ela
Elanore Wansmore > No I didn't you jus jumped in
Violet Aeon > You were already talking about your ships , you didn't even mention it before bringing up this crime spree thing around the perimeter
Elanore Wansmore > pfft, that is for after I finish this
Violet Aeon > YES, but it was mentioned lik it was the whole reason for the thing and I am here to say the reason is so I can get my operations set up so that we, yes, WE can can jus enjoy things instead of scraping for every isk sometimes. Ela u have to keep focused
Elanore Wansmore > wtf? seriously? I meen u need to get a grip on this I wasn't done talking. so wat if that's part of the thing that excites me an I want to tal;k abot it first
Violet Aeon > "ELA! I am jus saying that's not why I am financing this and I want it to be known I am not a enabler
Elanore Wansmore > OH ! OH! ok so your hand are jus squeaky kleen then . ok , fine!

(Door slams shut)


.

idk i jus found my route funny

I just noticed I was -5.1 security status thing now and so I gess I am red in a lot of places that I go. I was even red to Violet until we fleeted. idk, this is the first time I ever was this low lol \o/
It's sort of fun for a while. I am in my cata that I fit in Goonswarm Hq's an so I feel like being mischievious.

A Tower Bashing

Some pics from todays tower bashing. Thanks Khalia Tho'relia for the invite.

It started this morning when Khalia, myself (Elanore :), And Anna went to shoot the thing. yeah, we decided pretty quickly that this wasn't going to happen anytime soon. I think Khalia said "it would take a week at this pace"
So we bagged it for a while.
I went to low sec to hunt and ended up killing a couple cyno's and another ship, then gathered a bunch of loot up and started prepping to make my way back to null sec. :)
after I while I noticed all the chatter that something was going on again at the POS. Khalia had pulled it together and was gathering help from neighboring alliances.
Here I was in Hi sec trying to run from Concord and anyone else who at that time would shoot me. so I decided to dock up, dump my loot and suicide express back. It took a little while to get a couple ships put together for Anna and me, but wen I did we went and joined in on the shooting frenzy. more and more kept showing up and the dents in the POS started happening all that much faster.
I was fun. Thanks again Khalia for pulling the opp together
Heres a few pics. if anyone has others that show more than just my ship please pass them too me ;)



Nice location for this in the rings of a planet




It finally exploded and really lit up the sky!


The aftermath with the residual burning in the sky almost turns the muddy chocolate color of the Vale of the silent to something sort of pretty for jus a moment.


Khalia sent me a couple that shows the fleet better



Hav a great Day Pilots!!!

Khalia Tho'relia > that's pretty much it. chris asked if we can kill the tower and we did it. all I did was inviting a few guys from LZ and they got a few more ppl and we just kept shooting the thing.

Some updates: 31 Jan

Hi all. I know it has been a little while. But we were concerned about security a little. Well, that and this new direction of ours has ben a very fluid thing and I didn't want to be jus throwing things out there that may not even be relevant a day later. But I miss updating here and will do my best to not keep u waiting so long between updates. It is not like me and to be honest there are a number of pilots who I feel deserve a little thanks or calling out from time to time for good, bad, or sometimes jus silliness that makes New Eden so fun.

So I am jus going to throw a few things out here and try not to make this some epic lengthy thing. But with the promise I will do better at updating more frequently again.

1----To start Eleanor's Alliances on a personal level has been working out well. We hav met a lot of good contacts since. even being a "goon" as called by some because of her corps loose-ish alliance with Goonwaffe she has made great strides in gaining the trust of some corps and individual pilots in the low sec area I am currently calling home. Yes, that's right, ME in Low sec! who would hav ever thought right? But our goal was to find someplace that I can, in relative safety, mine ice so that we can all have a steady supply of income for the things we need such as ships, and clothing, and such and such. I have ben mining Ice for quite a while now and it has just gotten frustrating in hi sec, having to time my activities with the respawn of the fields and hoping to get enough of it before it was depleted by the mega miners. We are much busier these days than to hav to fight that battle and it was starting to severely limit my income. which provides all of us with the things we need.
So to sum up Elanore has been providing me with some awesome protection while I harvest, expanding our network, and of course I get to see her more often now this way as well.
any of the locals that know of us please be aware that we seriously do "come in peace" no matter what some may think because of Ela's security standings and corp alliances. We are here to network, make friends and expand our personal alliances so that we, and you, may hopefully benefit a little from our presence too.
Ela does get twitchy trigger fingers tho but she is trying her best to hold back the urges. The cyno's she has been taking out are not just random but we at least try to do a little research and look at their profiles before shooting them. We are sorry if any of these cyno pilots that hav been or will be killed are allied with anyone we know or are trying to make alliances of trust with. but sometimes it is just impossible to tell since they are with non allied corps and appears like a random cyno. Please inform us if a cyno alt is yours and we will put her or him on a no kill list.

2---Special Thanks goes out to Crow McCaw and Randy en Vaille for their recent donations to the corpsicles collection this week!!!! great work guys! thanks!
Everyone keep me in mind please for your frozen nasties that you may have sitting around, or aquire in space (in whatever fashion ;) I have a variety of freezer hangars scatterd around New Eden for safe storage. And Ela uses some from time to time strategically while protecting her Home system in Null space to decloak would be stealthy enemies.

3---There is a good chance that we will be splitting off Anna to her own account in the near future as well. this will allow her to be more involved with our going ons, and allow her th opportunity to expand on her industrial career she wants to pursue. As it is she has been very good support as needed for our ventures and it has provided a diverse means of education that works well between my mining and Ela's more, um, exciting path. But SHe is wanting to get on with some things so It is coming time to allow that opportunity. Especially since she has found her way back into her family's approval and they are coming to understand her need for adventure is not just simply a rebellion from their strict Amarr ways.

4--- Of course I ben doing fun things. so I hav been flying around these Impairor ships recently. Another little thing Anna sems to leave me after I deliver a ship for her to take somewhere. Sort of liking them actually, especially the way they look. And yesterday while I was flying to Jita I noticed how much they seemed to resemble my stiletto nails I like. So I did mine up with them as the inspiration :)

still sitting here working on detailing them out and filing an such. but u see where I am going with them. aren't they cute? :)

That's about it for now. At least as much as I can divulge due to some ongoing security isues we are still working thru. But leave it to say We think it's an exciting time to be in New Eden!

Have fun and fly however you want to!

We have been busy

There are lots of things going on in New Eden for us recently. A lot of things are changing. I can't get into details because of a few security issues, (that alone should speak volumes if u know us). But we are very excited with the routes we are taking. Some things are in progress and take quite a bit of focus and pre-planning. Other things we jus have to sort of react and adjust as we see fit. Sometimes it seems like we are our own worst enemy, lol, other times our little team somehow prevails.

Anna is back home in Amarr space to visit and try to do a little reconnecting with her family there. Unfortunately she was disowned to some degree by her own very rigid and wealthy Amarr family when she joined up with us after hunting for me for a some time. Anna is my half sister in case u do not already know that, in that we have the same father. Yes it is a tangled little web of a tale. I am however slowly working on the full compilation of that so you will understand how all 3 of our threads are intertwined. But still, that is for a later post as these soap operas of sorts are a very complicated thing to put together in some sort of comprehendible explanatory way :) But she found me thru Ela after being shot by her while travelling thru Ela's null sec home system. But for now she is back home schooling at her alma mater university to get some training in Amarr ships and mods. Something none of us hav done before. This should add a new degree of versatility to our little armada here.

Elanore, yeah, Ela seems to have a focus like I have never seen before. Her corp underwent some pretty huge changes recently and she is trying to focus on that a lot. it won't be an overnight effort but there is good direction. Her criminal element has been reined in some and is instead focusing on bigger things. That's not to say that Ela isn't still prone to twitchy trigger fingers and acts of random violence with a certain Catalyst that she has aptly named "Drag me to Hell". But then, Ela is a null girl 1st and foremost. But I am proud of where she has come, she has not been without fighting her own demons in the past. As you may know already, or that you will find should you traipse back through some older posts. nuf said I think.

I have been focusing more on the trade, marketing, and networking end of things. it is something I can do from the relative safety of hi sec. I did somehow manage to sort of, well, manipulate a little portion of the textile and clothing industry here, Something I hav been working on for a couple Earth years actually and so I have put that into motion. The reaping of this has begun to garner me a nice little extra income as it is a welcome thing to wake up and look at millions in my wallet that I didn't have the night before :) And of course I continue to mine ice in a variety of systems. I like mining ice and there is always some good people in the fields for fun conversation as well. Although I did venture into low sec the other day for some ice. yeah, carebear little me got a wild hair and with the cover and protection of Ela's Caracal we had quite the profitable day. It was a little nervewracking at times with the knowledge that we were mining in a system where Ela is a known criminal and had killed someone just a day prior. But for whatever reason we weren't retaliated upon and they stayed their distance. It was quite exciting and I am sure we will do it again. but for the most part I will stay in Hi sec and offer logistical and moral support for Ela's Null and low sec operations. Mind you, I am reserved about financing the criminal side of things. I don't want anyone to get the wrong idea. Ela does have her own income for these kinds of things even tho it can vary greatly and most of it is derived from the trade and transport of such things as drugs and other contraband.

Well, that's about all I can say for the time being about what's going on. Like I said there's quite a bit more and we hav recently met someone who came as very much a surprise to us and will yet again add another direction and element of adventure to our portfolio. Sorry I am not at liberty to discuss this atm. We must maintain a degree of the clandestine for our own survival you understand. After all, it is EVE. New Eden can be a very unforgiving place. Tho never without excitement and reward.

Enjoy and fly safe!
