Risk City

It was time, I felt the urge to explore sweep over me and so I opened the showcase in search of somewhere new.    What I found was Risk City. 
  
With a description of "Explore at your own risk! Once you arrive in Risk City, you can use the teleport to discover multiple mysteries and secrets, including an art exhibition, a spa and a hidden bedroom.

There are many more imaginative surprises in this dreamland created by SL Resident SuzeLaRousse Milo" it was hard to resist so with my trusty notebook and camera in hand I began my search of the sim.


A wonderful scene was before me accompanied by an ethereal soundtrack, definitely giving the whole place an atmosphere of intrigue.

My first task was to get the road map, positioned for easy access pretty much at your feet when you tp. I also grabbed Suze Survival Pack, a suitcase full of goodies I will look through later.



So with my roadmap in front of me it was time to start the exploration.  By right clicking, then selecting touch I was able to select the first of my destinations, Ice Storm, and so it began.

1. "Icestorm" is a something to behold.  On arrival I suggest you obtain the attachment to make the ice slippery, it will make your experience here much trickier as you slip around as you walk.

With a strange mushroom in the middle you can click on the base to begin skating on ice.  Nearby is a chair for ice fishing and in the tent you can float in meditation above hot coals and not forgetting the all important all-seeing eye.


2. The "Chocolate Factory" was like stepping into the Willy Wonka but even weirder... (Is that possible?). 

Who doesn't LOVE chocolate.  YUM

As usual, looking down and watching was the all-seeing eye.


3. The "Gallery" was next on the list. Something that quickly struck me was the cleverly position pose balls enabling you to take shots of yourself and a friend at all the locations. 

Examples of the possible shots are on display in the Gallery.




4. "I Spy" was my next port of call. 

From the computer I could see the movements of others on the sim...or could I?






5. "Honey Water", my next destination, proved to be an interesting one. 

With the honey bees dropping in to drink from the honey water, it made sense to hang around on the ladder out of their way.





6. "Suzerella" was stunning and it was here that I was joined by Calvin which made it even more fun to try out the poses for a while. 

There is a gorgeous dance that was a pleasant surprise and the bubble bath... Well what can I say... that was a new one.




7. "Farm Spa" was an intriguing name for some stunning scenery and some fabulous poses. 

Another dance and some great photo opportunities and, of course, that eye blinking or was that winking at me.



8. At "Be Wild" and the first thing that caught my eye was an ironing board.  Now I don’t know about you... but being wild and an ironing board don't exactly compute unless you are talking a little kinky LOL.  After a couple of wines, I suppose anything is possible. 

The all-seeing eye kept a lookout to make sure nothing untoward was going on.



9. Joining me for "Ladies Night" was by my next sidekick, London. 


What exactly he was doing with the pillow between his legs I'm not quite sure but I must admit the bouncing on the bed was a bit of fun and the dance... yum.





10. "Dirty & Mad" had me holding my breath while I sat within the safety of a cage while a fish circled me. 

I'm not sure if it thought that I was its prey but London, being the wuss he is, was watching from above.




11. "Paradox" by name and nature. It is a puzzle of pieces that don’t make any sense yet do. 

Climb the ladder, have a swing or ask a friend out on a date.  The choice is yours





12 "Hot Tin Roof"  Where else would you want to dance than on a "Hot Tin Roof". 

Better still, cam around, find the two chairs and relax with a bottle of wine or hide behind the red privacy screen.  Bliss.




13. "Wild Beach" is a little walk from the landing spot. 

Through the gates, and down the steps you will find a quiet, secluded spot to relax with a friend on the raft, swim in cool waters or just lazy on the beach. 





14. The "Castle" has a cute spinning pose to try, but of course London couldn’t resist climbing to the top and standing up shouting "I'm the King of the Castle".   Men!






15. "zzZzzzz"  After 15 different stops snoring was definitely on my agenda. 

First a quick swim in the pool or a soak in the tub, and a little meditation to take in the gorgeous atmosphere of this amazing build.



Don’t forget to check out the @Risk store before you leave. 
A fascinating array of items and poses are there for you to inspect and try.


The blinking eye is a theme that runs throughout the experience.  Make sure you let Suze know if you like what you see by giving eye a few Lindens in appreciation of her talent.  Her creativity is to be applauded.

Take your time. From start to finish this is a MUST SEE sim.




Thank you to my friends who accompanied me at various stages through my journey.
