Torley Lives

I am pleased as mango punch to have Nikolaii Uritsky is a friend. As I'm fond of saying, not only is she a nice Resi (short for "Resident of Second Life"), she's a nicely talented Resi! As you can see, to the right is Nik's store. It's called Space! Romantic, and it is indeed this. I came to acquire an Island Shanty! (exclamation mark included), which is another dream come true for me in SL. Howso?

Easy peasy! Many years ago, I played a game on the SNES called Legend of the Mystical Ninja. It had some, shall we say, rather deliciously debilitated wooden builds which were presumably a bastardized take of an Edo-period crosssection. They not only had the requisite (and cliched, I might add) character, but I reckoned they'd make good homes on the cheap. That memory never quite faded, and I had been wondering why there isn't more prefab housing in SL with rickety diagonal lines that not only suggest movement, but motion, which is the same thing, but different.

ENTER NIK THE SHANTYMASTER, WHO MADE MY DREAMS COME TRUE! Just as she advertised, I've converted my Island Shanty! into a melon stand, a loft of these large, particle-lactating fruits. At a low but not lowly price of L$25, it's only half of a Basic Account's weekly stipend (get your FREE Second Life account here if you haven't already!), and stands to logically reason that a dumpsterdweller such as myself would enjoy living here.

Nik also makes sweaters, shoes, and other things that don't begin with the letter "S".
