Monday Afternoon Mystery Adventure: Reaction!

Not mannequins, just a couple of fangirls... and a boy!

The Project

What can I say, I like a challenge? So I decided to start a new feature (aka, yet another thing to do for fun when I should really be working). If I like it, I might just do it again. The game is to pick a couple of words at random, plug them into my inventory search engine, and assemble an outfit around whatever I find. Hey, it’s a good way to wear something I’d probably forget I had otherwise!

This week’s word is REACT. Well! That was an easy start, because it just so happens that one of my favourite stores on the grid is Reaction Girl. While it’s heading towards autumn in the northern hemisphere, it’s finally heading towards spring down here in New Zealand. It’s still just cold enough to dream of warmer days, of days on the beach, playing in the sand and basking in the glorious warmth until you turn red as a lobster! Reaction Girl (and their male counterpart, Reaction) provide the perfect wear for capturing those long summer days, everything from gorgeous bikinis to adorable cutoffs to the most perfect rashies I’ve ever seen, plus they also do surfboards, beachtowels and the cutest little boogie boards you’ve ever seen. They’ve also started moving into more general casualwear, including cute little sundresses, jeans, and shoes.

Also, as an added bonus, Reaction and Reaction Girl are on the sim right next to WRONG, my favourite source of all things punky and plaid. If you haven’t been to either, well… what’re you waiting for?! Go forth and shop, my darlings!

The Plot

It’s a well-known fact that you should never go anywhere without your wonderful towel (^5 for random pop-culture references!). My towel’s name is Alia. We decided to make an adventure of it, and spent an afternoon exploring the Boneyard sim surrounding Reaction, poking in the crannies, basking in the sun, and… picking up boys a little, maybe.
