Lookit i posted!

omg it's been forever.
ok first thing first, un-banished. i struggled free 5 hours early. First person to struggle out of a BANE suit and as far as i know also the only one currently.
I've been out for about a week or so now. A lot of shopping has happened...well not a lot but enough to keep me busy.
I discovered a whole super heroine RP sim. wrote up a character for myself and now i've just got to decide on a costume.
in my head i see something short, form fitting, and barefoot. but i've been having one hell of a time finding socks that i want...i'm picturing that tape look that you see fighter people wearing.
the story i've picked is a medium range fighter who shoots blasts by punching and kicking in the air, and some other stuff too.
baring that i was thinking the gun bunneh look maybe and just be...gun bunneh...the other superhero name i was thinking of was "Shockwave"
So i'm so into the idea of going back into banishment with "harsh" settings this time...i.e. getting my operator tot urn up all the violations to thier most sensitive and restrictive levels. i'd like to do just a short sentence 24 hours, sort of finishing out what i had.
if i continued with the story though, as an "escapee" of the program i should do a full 96 hour sentence but i'm not sure i could get into that much time away again.
okies, I've also got a product review to do but i'm going to make another post for that so that it's easier to read/find.

Stuff I forgot and day 1 pt 2

Ok, so two posts in one day, banishment must be good for my creativity. Which i think is true, I came up with more ideas the week I was locked in Ghrul's Federal then the few months/weeks prior. Anyway....
I forgot to mention this, but I am not the only Bao, contrary to popular belief, I finally found someone with the same last name as I, she was rezed just several days after myself, guess that makes me the older Sister. I didn't talk to her long, just saw the profile and said Hi to the only other Bao in SL.
Oh, also while I was waiting to be a BANE i wrote a small note card on some of the finer points of character development, just kind of a "How to for newbies" to making a character and background, i'd re-post it here but i don't have access to my inventory in SL to open it to copy and paste.
So today was my first day as a BANE, i wandered around the Desperation Island a lot, i hadn't done that much since it got moved to "New Desperation Island" normally i just head right out to the building area. There are some really neat bits of scenery out there. I wish my operator would have allowed me an AO, not that the cheap free one i use would do me much good but it'd be nice to sit for a bit when need be so that i could snap shots of myself to accompany the story.

I ran off 2 other banes today...i earned one a proximity violation (myself included) which i feel bad about but she should have backed off, the other girl knew what was up and retreated when i charged her. I spent the next 20 minutes walking a small circuit up and down the path i had claimed from them.
I've had my first maintenance, figures i'd get the LM for the busted station that Marine set out a LM for earlier today, thankfully I was already in Zhora so I just walked over to the one at Kelley Tech. Got a snapshot for my three PICKS i still have on my profile, now just need one of the labs and then something for my other one.
I've racked up quite a few violations, i haven't had a "weekly report" yet though so i'm not sure how long it's added, once i find out the ratio i'll decide if i should be more carefull or not. i have a feeling it's going to be bad.
B-9561 (I'm dyslexic and i always transpose the 1 and five when i try to write my own number.)

Pre-Bane

((This post is all IC, some of the events have happened in SL, others have not and have been added for dramatic licence.)
Fuck Fuck Fuck! It happened again. I've heard that jails are made up of almost exclusively repeat criminals and if you've been there once then the chances of you going back more then double.
It was the same thing that happened last time too, when they sent me back to Tess. Parole violations, and this isn't like that week i spent in Ghrul's federal either, there's no dismissing the charges here those asshole cops got me dead to rights.
I wasn't even doing anything! I was with a friend of mine, we'd been hanging out all night and she asked me to come with her while she picked up some 'Stuff'. She knew the type of life i've had and wanted someone who knew what was going on. I know i shouldn't have gone but she would have gone anyway even if i didn't. The cops spotted us coming up even before we made it to the house, to young blonde's in a car that didn't belong to the neighborhood any more then they did themselves.
We got stopped, searched..it took the officer all of about two minutes to find the guns trapped to my thigh and under my skirt. I didn't bother trying to resist, i've seen enough tv to know that that train of thought only ends bad for the runner. Handcuffs followed, car ride, processing, and because it was Friday i was sure to spend the weekend in jail.
I spent all of Saturday in dread, this was my third offense it was going to be a long long stay for sure, no plea bargain this time...or so i thought. Late on Saturday night i got transferred to a private cell. I was lead down there in full shackles and shoved inside much the same way. The surprising part though was someone was waiting for me in the cell. She said i could call her Mz. Bluezy but didn't tell me much else about herself. We spoke for a little bit, she asked me if i was afraid of going to jail. I answered truthfully and told her yes, spilling my whole story. I knew it was wrong for me to carry a gun since i was a felon but it just wasn't that easy. I don't live in the edge of society where a person can rely on the government for protection, a person has to protect themselves!....atleast that's what i've always told myself...maybe it was just delusional.
To her credit she listened to my story, never once stopping me until I finished. Once I was done she began to speak. She told me she worked a place where the files of all new prisoners crossed her desk. She was looking for certain types and when found she took opportunities to speak to these inmates. She told me she worked for a place called Kelley Ind. some scientific research company. They were looking for non-violent criminals (i didn't dissuade her from this belief, at least none of my crimes were violent.), people who faced real time. She offered me a chance, i wouldn't have to go to jail, all I had to do was join their research program. She didn't tell me much about it, but i didn't care. Anything was better then jail. I had heard a little about the BANE's before, just stuff on TV though I didn't live in a district where they were kept. She said everything would be taken care off, all I had to do was come Monday when i got before the judge plead guilty. They'd offer me a chance for the program and i was to take it, in exchange what would have been the remainder of most of my adult life in jail, to 72 weeks in one those fancy suits they made the prisoners wear.
She left me in the cell to consider my choices, i spent all day Sunday in solitary, it was OK though better there then in some cell, that worked out so well last time. When Monday came it took me all of two seconds to say "Guilty"
Because of the nature of my crimes, I was given time to turn myself into the program. The guards fitted me with an ankle bracelet and i was out by the time lunch rolled around.
That was three days ago.
I've managed to get all my affairs in order. Someone will watch my house while i'm gone. from what i understand i won't be back here for over a year. I won't be able to leave the limits of the district. It doesn't matter though, I can't go back to jail. It can't be to bad after all, at least I'll get to be outside, it'll be just like survival training again!
I took a trip into the city yesterday, i buried a stash of cash for myself along with a pack of rations, my little tool kit and map kit full of paper, stamps and a pen so i can still keep in contact. Hopefully they're still there when i go to get them, i buried them pretty deep and covered it with a rock so someone would have to really go looking for it to find it.
I'm going to turn myself over to the labs tomorrow, wish me luck i guess. Hope the whole thing doesn't hurt.

More prison stuff!/I forgot to update!

Ugh, so my goal for updates for April has fallen way short of it's goal, sorry but RL (that's real life, not restrained life) has been crazy lately.

So after my first night at Ghrul's the RP has all but died. So far I've been let out of my cell a few times but it's always disappointing. My first night out i got attacked by two friends of the girl who i "killed" (which I'm not sure if I made that clear from an OOC standpoint in the last post, i didn't kill this girl she decided I killed her and despite my saying that wasn't my plan OOC, I was forced to go with it as she just made a huge post about dieing, then suddenly a cop showed up, whom I later found out from another prisoner was that girls husband on his account. Can someone say setup?)
The first girl who attacked me was apparently German and while she spoke passable English apparently couldn't read it because she ignored every action I did and kept beating up on me for like 2 minutes until I said something OOC'ly about it then she just stopped, and a guard took me back to my cell.
Since then I've been called new meat by every girl in that place who thinks that they're the top dog. Instead of the guards telling me what i'm going to do, since i'm a prisoner and all and therefore shouldn't get the right to decided my schedule for myself, i'm constantly asked if I want out of my cell or whatnot...which is fine from an OOC standpoint and I'd even applaud it, but none of them do it from an OOC standpoint they just walk up and go "You want out Bao?" and if i don't answer yes they just walk off.
Either way my sentence ends tomorrow.
I had a lot of fun at first but it died out after the first night and I found myself just waiting to get out, which i guess is alot like real prison. The problem is every girl that gets herself arrested there is apparently there with the intent of being the "top dog" in the prison. I think most of them are alts too, i know my "room mate" was an alt because when she started to gloat about how much of a "noobie" I was for leaving my keys on my cuffs, and I warned her that next fight she wouldn't be able to just end it by grabbing my keys when i'm beating her up, she told me all about how her other character was a domme and this and that...anyway.
I think alot of the prisoners there are just alts, I saw one cell with a 45 day sentence on it, which to me just screams! alt. Unless you're cheating all the time who is going to take themselves out of a game for over a month and a half (I'm sure it was longer to start) unless they had another character to do things on. Plus after my experience with the husband and wife inmate and cop team I've become suspicious of the other staff as well.

I went to Ghurls because I saw it listed on a prisoner lounge board, and the "RP experience" there was listed as good...personally I'd give it a "fair" rating instead. then again though i've very picky and want as close to a real experience as possible in my rp's...the joy is in the details for me...
most people are content with /me puts on her corset.
i find it al ot more fun to be. /me slips into her corset, pulling the stiff material up to her breasts before reaching behind herself to begin cinching the laces.

Arrest at Ghrul's

((The following post is IC))
I fucking got busted again! Stupid parole violations. I got nabbed during a sale and arrested for trafficking in stolen goods. At least the didn't catch me at a sale i brought my guns to, i would have got nabbed for unlawful possession too.
I caught a break this time. I got sent to a medium security facility Ghruls Federal. Processing was pretty standard. I got stripped searched issued an uniform (ugly thing.) then a cell. I'm still awaiting full trial.
My first night in prison didn't go so well, after coming back from the yard i got introduced to my cell mate. It didn't go well. The bitch made some offhanded comment to me about my ass. I responded in kind, pointing my finger at her before she drew a shank on me. My combat training kicked in quickly (unlike the American army, the BLT which is at best a gorilla group of ex militants and other mercenaries, allows females in combat situation and even trains its female recruits alongside the males.) and i responded with equal force, knocking her knife hand away as i began a counter attack. I would have retained the upper hand in the situation had she not used the cuffs the police used on me to her advantage (she totally just grabbed the keys to my cuffs and gag, no IC post just snagged them then proceeded to start gloating about how much of a newb i was. Meanwhile i would have destroyed this girl in a fight but instead she cheated and stole my keys. I tried to warn her in IM that i would take revenge, to which she said that i'm an armature and tried to gloat some more. )) Even cuffed i put up a fight though and would have smashed her face in with my shoulder had she not ignored my fight and then "Kicked me around the cell like a soccer ball" She even put the knife to my neck!
It hadn't been the first time i've stared death in the face though, I've been on my own since i was old enough to read. I've lived enslaved to a house where death was a constant threat for the slaves, forced to help my owner as she slaughtered and experimented on the bodies of ones i had called sister. It wasn't the first time i've been faced with my own death and i wasn't afraid as i faced it this time as well. Though in the end common sense won over my pride, I relented to her demands to say i loved her. Shortly after she returned the keys to my cuffs. that was the last mistake she ever made...well that and giving me her shank.
the crazy bitch actually begged me to kill her, claiming she had many warrants on her head all ready. I hadn't planned on giving her the satisfaction. Taking careful aim to slice only her eye as i took the knife to her face, intending to maim her permanently for attacking me. My next strikes going to her hands with my knees. My intent to crush her fingers to prevent any further knifing attempts by the girl.
Somehow despite my not cutting any vital parts, and purposely doing much less damage then she did to me she somehow managed to die from these wounds.
Not that' i'm to remorseful over it, it was her or me after all and she did attack me first. I still have the mark on my neck from where she put the knife to it.
Needless to say it didn't take long for the guards to come over the commotion. currently i'm sitting in ISO while the police investigate. (on a side note the police officer that came to get me was pretty thorough in his RP of me getting arrested again)
So i might be in here for a while. (10 days original sentence)

The only Bao

So I'm coming to the conclusion that I was maybe the only person in SL to pick the last name of Bao when it was available. This conclusion is based on the fact that I've only ever seen one or two other people with the same last name as myself. I've seen tons of Boa's, and even a few Yao's, but very very very few (almost none) other Bao's.
Ok so a real post.
I've had a lack of reviews lately because I haven't been shopping in SL in a while. If could use some new shirts for a few outfits so maybe that will change. Even so I've managed to come up with a little format i plan on using for future product reviews so that they are a little easier to find among my rambling.
In case you were wondering the format will go like this.
Item Description:
Things I liked:
Things I didn't Like:
Score and summary of why the item got that score:

I've got readers!
This is something that strikes me a little weird. I guess it's just that I don't think anyone would be interested in reading what I have to say, but I noticed my name is now listed on two separate peoples blogs as a "Blog i like to read." or "read regularly" or whatever. So thanks to those people who are interested enough to come check my ramblings regularly!

Ok so some Rp stuff:
SL is a little weird for me to RP in, in the past on other chat programs if I had an idea for a character I could just make a completely new profile to chat with that was modeled around the character concept. That doesn't work as well in SL because if you make tons of alts you have to buy things for those alts to make them look how you want to. Which if you've ever purchased items for yourself you'll know how hard this can be. A basic avatar look with a good skin/hair/clothes is at least 3000$L (sometimes you can achieve a look with just freebie stuff but most of the times the specific looks are ones that you have to buy parts for.)
So I've been having trouble coming up with new ideas that fit well with the story I already have for myself.
I realize there is no rule saying that all my different "aspects" have to fit with each other but if I'm going to be using my profile i'd like all the different aspects of that profile to lend to each other as much as possible.
Though this isn't always going to be possible, my "doll" look for instance can't fit in with the rest of "Bethany's" back story because it's a living doll, not a urchin bunneh girl turned to first a life of crime, then a quasi-military group, then back to a life of crime again.
So I'm having trouble getting everything to mesh together.
The other problem with SL is it's a fine line between RP place and just chat place.
while Bethany is me, "Bethany" is not...wrap your heads around that one.
I try to lend alot of my personality to the characters i make, because I think it helps to make them seem more real instead of just a made up set of values.
I've always used the IC(in character) and OOC (out of character) separation more as a way to talk about stuff that didn't pertain to the RP inside the RP instead of a way for "Me" to talk while my "character" is active. Otherwise I'm almost always talking while my "character" is acting.
I am my character and my character is me.
Confused? Good because I am to.
I'm not sure if there was really a point to this besides just filling up my blog to make my 20 post goal this month.
Next time i'll try to give a small bio for "Bethany the character" in SL.

So it's been almost a week since the last post, I'll try to not make it so long in between each but i can't make any promises. I spent a large portion of the week gagged. Harshly, due mostly to my own mistake. At one point I had the autolock feature on my gag set to go off with the rest of my cuffs, then later decided to change that. So i had to reset the scripts in the gag to turn the autolock off. because after it's running that is about the only way to stop it besides just waiting it out. So when I reset the gag it reset all the features too, which means when a friend did grab my keys and lock the gag i was fully restricted.
no emotes longer then 15 letters or I'd be labeled as a "cheater" no IM's to anyone even the keyholder and a hidden timer so i didn't know how long it was going to last.
When i finally got the gag off (i think it was unlocked for a while without me noticing, i never saw the message saying it was unlocked but i had the keys at one point so i must have missed it somewhere.) it was 20 hours locked (which is time spent online not real time) when i noticed and unlocked it fully.
Though i did cheat at one point and used an attachment to keep me active all night and not be disconnected in the hopes it would unlock while i was sleeping.
I don't mind being gagged for that long, i find it fun to try to emote what I'm saying without talking it out loud. Having to come up with different actions to express myself but i couldn't stand not being able to say anything more then
/me nods
/me squeaks
/me eeps
/me shakes head

Also this week i got my new guns that were sized for realistic avatars, plus a latex catsuit in camouflage to match. I was invited to a group called the "Fetish Ronin's" and put together an outfit for that(seen above)

It's a giants world

It's a giants world in SL.
I'm not sure the average avatar size but i'm sure it's somewhere over 6' with most males topping in at a good 7'. This means most things are sized for these types of avatars. My own avatar is sized at my real life height of 5'2". Alot of times i've got to size stuff extra small to fit me.
So this weekend I bought some guns! A nice pair for 2000$L tons of neat scripty bullets and stuff, i've got a whole tomb raider look going on in one outfit. They're rather large on me though, if I leave the silencer attached in the holsters they're as long as my legs. WIthout the silencer though they kind of work, because Laura croft had huge guns.
But they still look a little odd. So a friend pointed out this gunshop that made guns to RL scale not the SL giant scale that everyone else seems to use.(which she pointed out she told me yesterday, but sometimes you've got to beat points over my head or take and show me someplace.)
So now I want the small ones too, but they're another 2000$L Plus they're black and not silver like i wanted and they holsters have spots for two extra clips...maybe i won't get them after all.
It's not like I plan to go shooting things they're totally a fashion thing but I'm picky and like to have multiples of stuff to choose from.
My SL shopping list is getting bigger then my budget.
New Skin
This neat neck corset i saw
tiny guns
new pants outfits
more shoes
and anything else i can add as i see it.

Why "hey test this for me" never works out well for me.

Even when I try to not get locked up it never seems to work out for me.
So lately on SL there have been a lot of people wearing "BANE" suits, which are based of a nice story called EUDAMON, it's a rather intriguing idea. I'd probably not think twice about becoming a BANE given the right custodian, but I'm getting off the point. I first found out about this trend on *GASP* a blog...which told about how to make yourself a home brewed BANE suit...including instructions on how to transfer scripts from Marine Kelly's RR cuffs to the armbinder of your choice (KDC brand in this case) which i recently did. Which is great because I've always wanted a armbinder scripted as well as marine's cuffs. So after a little editing it's working fine now, but i hadn't had a chance to really test it out.
So tonight around a certain little evil mouseh I put it on and was like "hey check out what I did" then i snickered at a comment she made...next think i know my timer goes off for 48 hours.
evil evil mouseh.
Oh, another point, if you use Marine's RL viewer, then Do not upgrade to the new 1.19 version of SL, even though it says it's a "required update" the lidens are telling you a lie and you can still log in with the 18.5.3 version, which i had to go out and find because i mistakingly updated and subsequently broke the RL viewer.
So after about a half hour of casual pleading for my keys back the ever so nice mouseh was kind enough to turn my keys back over to me.
Thankfully I don't have to spend another two days locked up...though on the bright side the armbinder matched my dress wonderfully, and cait took me shoe shopping!

My Rp experiences Pt. 2

So, onto my brief carrer as a superheroine. I managed to fight one supercriminal durring my time as a member of the SHiP group, her superpower? Clicking xcite bits until the green text drowned her opponents. I don't understand how some people can be so creative in a profile, but when you get to rp with them they turn into clickers.
So besides a few messages from some other villans who were looking for a fight (nothing ever worked out, bad timing mostly, not interested in the others.) I didn't stay very long as a superheroine. I couldn't find any screenshots of my costume. THough I can describe it for you if you want, It was a black corset and elbow length PVC gloves, with a pair of freebie black lace up pants. I had white hair too and found to particle effects for my hands that were supposed to be lightning because I had electrical powers, duh.
Following that I kind of just floated around for a bit. Most of the time my rp was limited to dressing up in bondage stuff and pretending it was real. This was also the period where i was first labeled a ninja...I'm not a ninja
>.>
<.<
Anyway, today is going to be a short post, I'll get into my criminal persona a little more in depth in my next post.

Me and Keys in SL

So this isn't exactly what I had planned on writing about but it's what is in my mind right now:
I am not very good with keys. both in RL and in SL.
I've offten lost my car and house keys, (not so much anymore I know keep a spare set of both my house and car key in a little matchbox in my purse). In Sl it's a little harder to lose your keys, they aren't something that you can just drop or leave somewhere they're just a variable in a script.
about 95% of the time I only use one type of cuff in SL, the Real Restraint brand sold by Marine Kelley(who also has a blog about her restraints and scripting adventures in SL somewhere here on blogspot as well.) partially because i really enjoy the look of them, partially because I enjoy the scripting and features in them, mostly because along with the use of a special viewer for the SL client (Restrained Life Viewer, or RL viewer) they became "real restraints" meaning if i lock them i can't detach the attachments until they are unlocked.
Needless to say if you're careless with your keys this can be a real problem.
But then again that's part of the thrill, oftentimes I'll go around with my keys left sitting on the restraints instead of safely held on my hand.
Now I'm not stupid, I don't go everywhere like that, it's more like a calculated gamble. There are alot of places I'll frequent where I know most of the people there, and these places i'll leave the keys on for someone to occasionally snag and torment me with. If I'm going out shopping or someplace with alot of people I'm not likely to know, then I'll hold onto my own keys for safekeeping.

Even times when I do have a safe hold on my keys it dosen't take much to get them to me. If I see someone I know try to get my keys off the cuffs when they aren't available I'll offten just hand the keys over no questions asked(well maybe a few questions to be a smartass) , which can offten lead to just as much trouble for me as leaving them on for anyone to grab.

This leads me to my point, for the last week I've been stuck in my cuffs, atempting to strugle out on my own from all sections of my cuffs (collar, wrists, gag and ankles). The friend who was holding onto my keys for me and locking everything put timers on some stuff but most of it I had to strugle out of.
It was a frustrating week, unfortunately I couldn't get myself to strugle out of the wrist restraints, and ended up beggin for a timer to be set so I would be free eventually even if I couldn't strugle out, in short I was bored and my list of to do items was growing.
I'm completely free now, thankfully. That is until someone else asks for my keys, I guess I'm a glutton for punishment.
Not that I'm complaining, and If I am complaining....well that's what gags are for.

My Life in SL

I suppose you could call this an "Adult" blog:
Ok, where do I start? SL isn't my first "chat program" for a bunch of years I floated around AIM, then more recently Yahoo chatrooms. I had a furry ID take a guess what her name was. She was/is a bunny, and one of the reasons I wear bunny ears in SL today. A friend of mine at the time was in SL and helped to convince me to come to it too. At the time I was really interested in ponygirls(still am, though I haven't worn ponygear in months.) and while He wasn't that into it, He helped me find a trainer and stable to train at (The Frilly Filly Farm, which is still active today even though I no long house a stable there myself it's full of a ton of nice people, my leaving was for other reasons.) He even funded my first set of ponygear(much of which i still use today.)

Here I'm going to stop for a second and point out how horrible my grammar is, I keep switching case a lot and forget to capitalize a lot of personal nouns, most of the time I try to catch these but the more i write the faster i write and the more that slip through so please bear with me.)

So after I first came to Sl i spent a lot of time as a ponygirl, though that didn't last very long. I have a very short attention span, and tend to change my mind a lot. As I explored Sl more i found more and more roles that I wanted to fill.

One of the first groups i joined was the Latex Dolls, in fact a lot of my friends I have today were ones I first made as a member of the dolls. Over time though the group slowly changed from a group of like minded individuals who enjoyed encasement and bondage and going out in our latex and bondage to show off...into a quasi religious organization. For a while I stayed a member of the dolls just not in the latex, though eventually i felt the atmosphere around the space station that the dolls used for a headquarters wasn't as friendly as it had used to be, especially to dolls who didn't follow the newest set of rules. So I left the doll group, no hard feelings I just didn't feel a part of the group anymore.

I kind of floated around on my own for a long time in SL, i had mixed feelings about it. Sometimes I wouldn't care, othertimes I'd see friends with thier loved ones or Owners and get jealous. That mostly ended though once I found my home with Wildefire, She's been a great friend to me, she knows when I'm in a bad mood and helps me work through it. She's offten offered advice with whatever was bothering me, and she's imaginative..imagination is like my biggest attraction to someone.
I had alot of happy times as a member of Wilde's family, though recently she's retired from being a domme. I'm still a part of the extended family though not really an owned slave of her household anymore.
So again I'm on my own, though I'm alot more at peace with it this time, i'm not alone, just on my own.
Well that is enough out of me for now, next time I'll talk about my very brief stint as a superheroine in SL, maybe i can even find a SS of me in the costume I put together(criminals everywhere learned to laugh at..i mean fear the name of "Electra Girl"), then my longer time as a criminal and attraction to prison RP in SL

My First Blog

Hiya, this is a blog i created to recount my adventures in SL or Second Life for thsoe who don't know what the game may be.
