About the Image

Today’s post features a few fabulous SeraPlus gifts, available exclusively to Second Life Plus, Premium, and Premium Plus members. They’re perfect for a casual adventure like this one in Cerulean Township.

Serena is wearing a complete outfit by RIOT, which includes the long-sleeved shirt, cozy puffer vest, and cuffed jeans—all part of the SeraPlus gift. Each piece comes with a HUD packed with color options, making it easy to mix and match or coordinate a complete look. Her hairstyle, Renewal by Stealthic, is also a SeraPlus offering and includes an extensive color HUD, plus four style variations—with or without bangs—so you can switch things up on the fly.

Gavin is decked out in the men’s SeraPlus gift from L+B Swear: a detailed leather jacket layered over a printed tee. The jacket includes a HUD with multiple color change options. (If there’s a way to change the t-shirt texture too, it’s hiding from me. Let me know if you find it!) Pro tip: don’t forget to rez the included “Register Your Gift” box to receive the latest updated version.

To get around town in style, Serena and Gavin are cruising on the Tri-Plus Scooters from [Bad Unicorn], another SeraPlus gift. Each scooter includes a blue touch menu with eight texture color options and a built-in resizer. Just remember to turn off your AO to enjoy the built-in riding animations.

Whether you’re scooting through mountain towns or just showing off your style, these gifts are a fun perk of the SeraPlus program. Don’t miss out: pop over to the SeraSim landing point to grab your gifts!

The Story

On a bright and breezy afternoon, Serena and Gavin decided to escape the usual routine with a spontaneous visit to Cerulean Township, a laid-back lakeside town nestled in the mountains. It was the kind of place where time seemed to slow down—perfect for a relaxing day with their dogs, Fiona and Milo.

After arriving, they rented scooters at the edge of town—Serena picked a cheerful berry pink one that matched her shirt, while Gavin chose a sleek black model that complemented his leather jacket. With Fiona’s golden fur fluffed by the breeze, proudly trotting alongside Serena, and Milo, looking sharp in his plaid bandana, keeping pace with Gavin, the group set off down the cobbled path.

The township was full of rustic charm. They passed weathered wood buildings like Bar/66, a tiny beer stand that looked like it had stories to tell, and paused to admire a street mural bursting with color. Their first stop was a cozy pizza shack by the waterfront, drawn in by the smell of wood-fired crust and bubbling cheese. They grabbed a table under a striped umbrella and shared a giant pepperoni and veggie pizza while the dogs lounged happily nearby with bowls of water and biscuit treats.

After lunch, they wandered deeper into town, scooters parked for now. Serena’s eyes lit up when they spotted a vintage record shop tucked between two buildings. Inside, she flipped through stacks of old vinyl while Gavin struck up a conversation with the shop owner about rare blues albums. Fiona curled up on a rug by the counter, and Milo gave a sleepy yawn from his perch by the door.

Next came a stop at a quaint bookstore nestled beside a tarot shop. While Gavin browsed the history section, Serena got lost in the smell of old pages and discovered a display of beautifully illustrated poetry books. She picked out one about dogs—naturally.

As the afternoon sun dipped behind the peaks, they made their way back toward the lake, dogs in tow and bags filled with their finds. The scooters rolled smoothly over the path as a gentle breeze rustled the trees. It had been a day of simple pleasures: fresh air, great company, good pizza, and a little shopping for the soul.

Serena looked over at Gavin and smiled. “Same time next weekend?”

He grinned, an exhausted Milo now riding in the crook of his arm. “Only if we let Fiona pick the route.”
