The Polar Tear Discuss/Fanthread~Finale! (Raffle Over pg39)

[Winter Hue]

This is an REI (Rapid Evolving Item).
This REI has reached its finale..
It will no longer be evolving.

/
1st gen / 2nd gen

Oh my gosh, there we have it. Our holiday REI.
The artist was revealed to be the lovely PRlSM.
Although poor Petur has lost his precious Isa...
His ice maiden and star goddess Isthur has healed his heart.
With Isthur heading back to the sky, Petur may be alone,
but his memories of his wife Isa will live on forever in his heart.
Thank you PRlSM for the touching story and beautiful REI~ <3

Item Introduction:

My ruined heart grows ever fonder,
Ísa, Ísa, where have you gone,
I am lonely where I wander,
Ísa, Ísa, rise with the sun.

The Poses:



Artist = PRlSM


Rapid Evolving Item Facts

For those new to Rapid Evolving Items REIs), here are a few facts or observations) that you should become familiar with.
REIs will not have a pose count similar to the old Evolving Items you may be used to. (old 499GC EIs)
At most, REIs have been known to generate 18 poses upon reaching their finale and will never gain more poses.
They also evolve at a specific rate. A REI will never lose poses upon evolving like normal EIs.
space space space They evolve by gaining one or two new poses every Tuesday and Friday until reaching their finale on a following Friday.
Once a REI has reached its finale, a 2nd generation of the item shall be released in the Cash Shop.
This 2nd generation REI will be fully evolved and have all the poses as the 1st generation and will cost the same.

Fantastic Discussion Points

So here it is my GCD peeps. Our new addition to the line of holiday evolving items.
What are you expecting from this wintry piece of goodness? Wintry apparel? Snowy goodness?
Story-wise, are you hoping for a deep and meaningful plot? Or just a bunch of pretty poses?

The Announcements (aka Story Time)



Far in the frosty North, at that time of year when the sun never quite lifts the morning over the
horizon and the long months are covered in perpetual twilight, an ice sculptor named Pétur
waited out the winter. For many years, Pétur and his wife, Ísa, had spent the dark months in
each other's loving company, but the previous winter, a sudden, jealous illness stole Ísa from
Pétur forever. His tools sat in their case, unused for several months before, in the pale light of
what-- at any other time of year-- might have been morning, the ice sculptor felt a strange
longing to walk out to the glacier, where the ancient ice slept...



Polar Tear followed Pétur as he discovered a strange secret in the northern wilderness. Urged
on by a mysterious call and shivering in his lamb's wool sweater, the sculptor trudged through
the snow to the foot of an ancient glacier. There, in the dim blue of perpetual dusk, he saw a
bright, crystalline light shimmering in the ice. Pétur had heard of glacial ice as clear as crystal
and hard as diamond, impervious to heat and forever frozen. His Ísa had given him a locket
containing her portrait and claimed, winking, that the star-colored stone on its face was
immortal glacial crystal... As he watched the light in the ice pulsing like a heartbeat, a shape took form in his mind...



Pétur has carved from the glacial ice the likeness of a beautiful woman: his beloved wife, Ísa.
He named the statue Ísthur - a goddess made of ice - and gazed at her strange, glittering heart
until sleep overtook him. As he dreamt of lost summers, of soft breezes and soft smiles, Ísthur's
heart watched over the sleeping sculptor. Her frozen eyes, as deep and blue as the heart of a
glacier, slowly opened, and a shimmering tear fell down her cheek. Her limbs began to move,
and her crystalline hair softened, spilling over her shoulders like water. Ísthur awoke.



The goddess Ísthur ha revealed her true nature. As Pétur slept, Ísthur gazed at her creator,
something like tenderness in her cold eyes as she searched his dreams and saw her shape. It
was not Ísthur-- those long-ago summers belonged to someone else-- but she smiled sadly as
the ghost of a memory passed through her ancient heart. She placed a gentle kiss on Pétur's smiling lips.

But morning-- finally, after many months, true morning-- drew near. Ísthur slipped out of her
earthly garments and out of the front door, slipping barefoot into the pale dawn. Her silvery hair
unfurled behind her, shimmering and long as the tail of a comet. It was time she returned home.
She would forever be grateful to the sculptor for freeing her from the glacier. Nearly forever, she
thought, as she melted into light and rose into the velvet sky... for a star is very long-lived, and looks down on the earth always.

When Pétur awoke, he found his sculpture was gone, her crustal gown (so like Ísa's wedding
dress) a glittering puddle on the floor. Throwing on his boots and scarf, he ran out into the pale
light, where a woman's graceful footprints suddenly disappeared as if she'd been lifted into the sk.
He gazed at the morning star, shining brighter than ever before, and touched his lips. That's
right... He had dreamt, and Isa, and the memory of her kiss had begun to thaw the cold ache in his heart.

[Equinoxious]

I tried searching the lyrics in the item description with no luck. I wonder what they mean?

[flickadur]

Do y'all reccomend buying one? o: I have a couple hundred GC saved up.

[Milk Kittea]

I feel like this one has a lot of promise after seeing the beautiful background.
I'm so happy that the artists went with a winter theme like people were asking for.
That background has a serious magical prettiness about it. <3

[littledevils freakzoid]

Holiday EIs tend to make very good long term investments.
