so three posts in the month of July that's a lot better then i thought it would be.
So I'm most of the way through my second day of banishment, got my first update, +2hrs
I'm really thankful for Bluezy taking care of my banishment but i wish i would have waited and found someone who was on the same schedule as me. I haven't seen Bluezy online all day(we're on different halves of the world from each other) so that's not a huge surprise.
So far it's been alot of standing around in Zhora.
8 hours down some 78 more to go.
I find myself super curious about the control side of the custodian, i'm curious if it has all the same plug-ins and features as the rest of Marine's cuffs or if she put in a bare bones version for controlling the BANES.
oh well doubt i'll ever find out.

Banishment the second time around
:::Now keep in mind the following are my personal feelings and not in any way reflective of the experience for everyone during banishment:::
Ok, so I've been debating writing this for a bit now, I've had a lot of conflicting thoughts on the whole affair but I've settled on what I want to say and feel the need to get it off my chest.
So right after i got out of banishment i wanted to go right back in, well sort of. I wanted in the suit again but wanted to take a break to get some things done i had come up with while banished.
So my operator at the time said she would put me back in once I started begging to get back in. which is not something i normally do, i'm not big on begging for things. But it made her happy so I swallowed my pride and started asking for it. She said no...so some stuff happens and she begins to put me off, everytime i brought it up i was told "soon."
Soon turned into weeks, which turned into a month which turned into two.
At two months i finally hit my breaking point and yelled at her. A day later i cooled down and apologized, but out of the whole argument I decided to stop waiting, decided on a time for the sentence and added my name to the waiting list again.
This aparently lit a fire under my operators ass because she finally agreed to process me...followed later that night by finding out, due to a clerical error she wasn't on the security orb at the labs and had to get put back on before she could handle me.
I found out a few days latter that she contacted Marine and Marine basically brushed her off and asked her to contact one of the officers to take care of it.
Now nothing against Marine, i've meet her in passing a few times but don't really know her that well, but from what i've gathered from other people, she can be a bit curt sometimes. Which i can fully understand she makes one of the most popular brands of restraints in SL plus the other projects she runs, i'm sure she gets requests for various things alot.
Well my former operator took this the wrong way and told me she thought it was a hassle to have to track down an officer she didn't know and get added back onto the security list.
So it went from "Yes, soon." to "soon" to "no" to "yes" to "no" again.
I think that's a little unfair, she asked me to jump through hoops for two months just to get her to keep a promise to me, the first time she had to jump through a hoop for someone else, well then that was game over.
So needless to say I'm frustrated, and I begin to look for someone else to do it. The few people i know who I'd enjoy playing the processing with are either on different schedules then myself or are't working on new BANE's anymore.
In this time i'm contacted by a few operators but no one I'm interested in, mostly because they don't even ask anything about me, our schedules or anything at all. It's sort of the difference between people who want to make sure the person going through the experience is having as good a time as possible and want to take care of their charges, versus those operators who just want to go through the rp of putting someone in the suit.
That's how i see it at least.
So Ia lmost gave up right then, but I'm friends with one of the Engineers for the program (officers) who said she would put me in the suit if I wanted. So I called in the favor from her, which is fine and I'm thankful for it, but I'm regretting it a little. She was more then a little shakey on the whole process, having not banished someone for quite some time, and we almost had a big disaster when my helmet got locked to early and i almost couldn't put my skin on.
I don't think this will be as fun of a time because i'm going to be on my own for most of it. With my last operator I was thrilled because i knew someone was excited to be watching me, would sometimes check in on me via the remote monitoring in the collar and would sometimes offer encouragements via the communication system in the collar.
Versus a friend who is just going to hold onto my keys for me for several weeks.
and nothing against my current operator, but she let me walk all over her during the processing, anything I asked for would just OK.
So I had fun getting back in the suit, got myself a few violations last night saying bye to a friend, but now that I'm just sitting her in it I'm more then a little bored.
And i've had some offers for help once some events happen, but there is no promise of the events happening, they didn't last time. So i think i'm stuck by myself for the next 80 hours online.

Update for July, more to come later!
Ok,
So my updates have sort of fallen off. There are several reasons for that, but I’m going to try my best to keep up at least one update a month no matter what.
I’ll probably make it to two updates today because I have this one which is general, I’ve got some product information to give out, and then I’ve got a post about being a BANE that I want to get off my chest.
First off…around the start of the month my friend Caitlyn told me about a skin sale at Sin Skins and gave me 200L for my rezday (which was July 4th, I was rezed on the fourth of July :-P ) I bought one new skin of light makeup to replace the freebie skin I had been using since I first came to SL some two years ago. I also bought a geisha style skin and a drow skin. I love skin sales, you get what is normally a 1000$L item for around 200-300$L Overall I’m pretty happy with the quality of the skins, of course new skins needed new hair so I went over to Calla and got myself a black hairstyle to wear as a geisha, (I already had a kimono, but that’s another story) as well as a white hair style to wear as a drow (and a dress too that was semi elfish) I don’t have access to my inventory to find the Landmark for the island and get a SURL for it so people can find the places I’m talking about but I plan on doing that in the future for reviews.
So besides that I also broke down and bought one of t hose KaS corsets that everyone has nowadays, but to tell the truth I only did it because it was on sale. I belong to a group in SL that used the corset (and the neck corset) as part of a uniform and had a deal worked out for a group vendor at a discounted price. Now I like the idea of the corset and it has a very realistic feature, having to wear the prim for a long time in order to tighten the corset, it’s not worth the full price for what it does. I feel the same about the neck corset both of which require drastic changes to my shape in order to fit properly and it’s just not worth the money to make all those changes when I can find clothes and just alter my shape for free that simulate the look.
Ok, so another post later about Banishment, I finally made it back into a helmet/suit, not with the same operator which I’m kind of disappointed about and I’ll get into why about that too.

OMG an update!!
Heya, so not many updates for the month of June,(or the second half of may for that matter) that is mostly because there hasn't been much going on in SL.
Switched lieges in Tiny Empires to help a friend attempt to climb her way up the ladder to queen of her own kingdom. Found out some of the rules about how you get subjects. Determined i need subjects but that i can't recruit anyone unless they're a baroness or above all ready.
Bought this neat little Mind Control Key from Hypnodolls, so far i haven't been able to figure out how it works. It would have been nicer to find out exactly what it did before i bought it. I like the hypnodols stuff, ((the only piece of furniture i own, which is set up on New Desperation Isle, is their hypnotron (the original version) even though I haven't gone and sat in one for ages.))
Anyway, no full review because i can't figure out how to get it to work, which kind of sucks, i was thinking it was more like a wind up key.
Oh well lessons learned.
I'd still like to find myself a good wind up key for my doll look. The one i bought was buggy as all get-out and i never got it to work right. No support from the maker too, which blows big time...i all ready did a post about them a while back if you're curious about looking up who it was.
Ok, so i will try my best to not make it so long between blog posts, but i can't make any promises. I write what i feel and i don't always feel like writing. So to my intrepid readers you'll just have to wait until that literary bug bites me again.

MB Iso Harness
Iso harness:
Okies, I got this item because on the little addvertisement for it, it listed a "Breathplay" feature which one of my many many "it buttons" and it claims to be RLV compatible but that's where a lot of my complaints about it came into play.
Likes:
I love the breathplay feature, it even has noseplugs. In order to keep from "passing out" the sub has to keep typing in random codes on /5 and they are really random codes, numbers and letters, so it can get tough, you've got about 20 seconds to do each.
I love the price too, at $450L it is cheaper then similar head harnesses.
Dislikes:
The RLV features are problematic at best. The blindfold hud doesn't self destruct and gets stuck on, i was required to re-log each time it got attached so that i could take it off.(or more importantly put other attachments on, because the hud considered itself locked)
Also it was a little hard to fit the plugs into my nose properly, i had to do quite a bit of editing to get the whole thing to look right.
Also the only way to get to the menu for the item is to have it locked on, which can be problematic for those people who just wear them for fashion.
Overall
I'll give it a 3 out of 5 bunneh review, mostly because of the problems with the RLV functionality, and the menu thing.

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.

some RP stuff, plus others
So after 70 hours of banishment i figured out something. I don't need an AO because i can still use gestures. which i discovered on accident the /cry gesture was active which was only an animation. which means i could use it but not get a violation. Also if you open up the gesture window (ctrl+G for those future banes who may read this) you can create new gestures from there.
in addition to the default animations included in the SL library it also let me pick out any animations that were in my animations folder for me to use to make gestures.
I now have the ability to.
sit (for 25 seconds, setting it longer got boring)
point
blow a kiss.
tell someone to kiss my ass
do a backflip
plead
cry
i call it a ghetto AO.
also i'm nearing my original sentence time. only added time left now.
maybe i'll pester my operator some and see if i can goad her into adding time.
So i'm not sure still what i want to do RP wise with the whole bane existence. One of the joys of being a bane is supposed to be finding your eduamon, but if i do that then i'd never want out of the suit, which could get boring quick.
As i mentioned earlier when I dom i tend to do stuff i'd want done to me, which is why i don't think i want to be come an operator after i get out, i think i'd be more sadistic then most people wanted because as odd as it sounds i enjoy it when people are mean to me.
Though the thought had crossed my mind of maybe going "good" for a little, becoming an operator and maybe even joining the SLBI (or at least becoming an informant) for a little while, of course with the plan of "going evil" again at some point from the inside. i could be a "crooked cop"
The thought had crossed my mind of going crazy for a bit after getting out of the suit, i wonder if Paine Asylum is accepting patients yet. I might just not put any story to it and hold off for a while till i get a better idea.
at some point maybe i'll finish my "story" posts of being a bane. I had a few plans that didn't work out.
getting to emote my frustration at learning i couldn't feel.
i altered my shape to add some fat, i wanted to gradually take it off again to simulate the "bane diet plan"
some other stuff i'm sure i am forgetting too.

I should be out by Sunday for sure as long as i don't violate to much before then.
