When we last checked in with the Murphy House Braden and Alexander stepped up their rivalry to punches flying, trading insults and the stealing of invisible newspapers. Nigel and Noe grew into teen hood and met their wives to be Wilhemina and Aisy. And Braden had words of encouragement for his children about winning this challenge.
Before we move on, I feel I should drop a warning in here for innuendo, a LOT of innuendo, nudity and sexual references.
And now we go to the chapel on the hill overlooking Pleasantview where a meeting of some import is about to take place.
Darius: Julien! Good to see you.
Julien: Mr. Mayor, thank you for coming by.
Darius: Please, you are the caretaker and have known me since I was in diapers, I'm just Darius. Do you have the plans drawn up?
Julien: I do, but we are waiting for someone else.
Darius: Someone else? I'm the Mayor, you are the guy who holds all the town money we are here to talk about building a town hall. Who else needs to be here?
Hector: That would be me.
Julien: Darius, I would like you to meet your official opposition, Hector Kelley.
Darius: I have opposition?
Julien: Yup. Hector here was just waiting for you to open up that second political slot so he could get started.
Hector: I have seen politicians ruin people's lives for their own gain. I will not let that happen here if I can help it.
Darius: My kind of guy. Welcome aboard.
Hector: Thank you. You do realize I am after your job, right?
Darius: I am aware. May the best man for the town win.
Hector: I can get behind that.
Julien: I am thinking we start small with room to expand. There is no need to go all out with an attached court house right away. We don't even have a judge yet.
Darius: I agree, though I hear my little brother has plans to fill that vacant job slot. I will need an office.
Hector: We will BOTH need an office ...
And thus, Pleasantview got it's town hall. Complete with banquet/meeting room, clerk's desk and TWO offices.
Over at the main Murphy house ...
Nigel: I have been thinking I am not going to wait to get married. I called Wil and discussed it with her and we both agree it is time I move out, get married and get started making my contribution to this challenge.
Amethyst and Braden: You what?!
Nigel: No point waiting around really? What good is that going to do? I am not going to college and it isn't like I HAVE to be an adult to paint or make babies.
Braden: This one is all yours Ame.
Amethyst: Nigel, there is more to marriage and family than making babies.
Nigel: Well duh.
Amethyst: I'm serious. It is a big step.
Nigel: Mom, I know. Wil knows. That ring is going to sit awfully heavy sometimes and that is okay because I love her and want her to be happy. That is the most important thing.
Amethyst: You've really thought about this haven't you? You are ready to move out today aren't you?
Nigel: I have and I am.
And with that, Nigel was on his way.
Braden is nearly finished his latest servo and I am thinking I might let them keep this one.
Amethyst: Buy her jewelry. Pretty girls like Aisy like jewelry.
Noe: Mom, I promise I know what Aisy likes ...
Amethyst: That is what I am afraid of. Now get the girl over here and get married already before you give me more grandbabies who don't have our last-name.
Amethyst. Possibly the most clued in mother ever!
Much to Braden's apparent joy, I have decided they get to keep this one.
Meet Harley. Who brings with her the dilema of "do I count servo's as playable or not?" On the one hand she is a servo and will not be having babies thus not directly contributing to future generations. On the other, she is a servo who will be alive forever and thus will never have to go on the "-# of sims list" where I will put all sims who die to be subtracted from the "+# of sims" which is used in the multiplier.
It is not an easy choice :/
The entire, playable population of the hood aged child or above INCLUDING Alexander who had better behave himself, or else!
Also, Aisy is a pop sim.
Noe: Okay, so this is a whole world more scary than I thought it would be.
Aisy: Wow. A family sim who is afraid to get married. I didn't know that happened.
Noe: I'm kind of nervous, though incredibly glad I got a real suit for this, and I promise to do my best to be a good husband and a good father to the babies we need to have for this challenge. Which, now that I think about it we are going to have a lot of fun making.
Aisy: So much fun, so often, Kate will be rolling her eyes and banging her head on her keyboard wondering if we plan to do anything else so stop talking, Shorty, and lets get on with this.
I wish they were joking.
Noe: I am going to grow you know. I will not be short forever.
Aisy: For now you are short.
Noe: Not where it really counts ...
EHEM! Moving on now!
And the $50 000 question is: Is Neat-freak Noe a cake shover?
Why yes! Yes he is!
Also, Preston and Dominick are far too adorable for their own good. So adorable Preston will be spending the entire week of his next rotation getting that damn LTW out of the way so they can stop making me feel guilty for keeping them apart.
Paris looks lost.
Paris: My word. There are rather a lot of folks here. Will gatherings always be this crowded?
No. At the house you are going to they will be more so.
Paris: How ... delightful.
Wilhemina and Nigel also adorable. I have NO idea why she was so resistant to this whole idea in the first place, they can't seem to keep their hands off each other now.
Aisy: So you're the guy who breaks the robots, right? Why don't you like robots? Harley is awesome. I got Aspiration for meeting her and everything!
Noe: Aisy, don't. Just don't.
Nigel forgot to take the easel with him.
Rosica seems to agree with Aisy's assessment of Harley. They got along fantastically.
Remember how I said I wished they were joking? Yeah. This is the first of MANY times they will do this today ... and every other day whenever I turn away for 5 seconds.
Sure, it looks like he's being productive, but in about 5 seconds he is going to drop everything while I am not looking and next thing you know it is animal sounds and horn noises.
I don't think anyone she has met yet doesn't absolutely love Harley. I think I even caught a glimpse of Alexander laughing at one of her jokes at the wedding. He would never admit it of course.
I am completely not surprised. He got off the bus with the action in his queue.
They did give it a rest long enough for him to have his birthday. I had wondered.
Oh. Oh my ... just ... I don't even. SEWING! It is needed! Badly!
I was a little surprised Harley's batteries lasted this long. I somehow remember servo's needing to recharge like once a day.
Right, so this is in no way a promotion for the gamer career track because Aisy, who gets to unlock a career track, has a LTW to top culinary and I in no way screwed up and accidentally put her in the wrong track ... >.>
Nooooo!
Aisy: Ohmigawds!
Aisy: Well shit!
Exactly. Braden can't be getting old already! *sob*
Aisy: Wait. What? I don't care if Braden is getting old. pregnant!
What did you expect when you spend most of your time in bed with Noe? Hmmmm? Though I suppose the lack of bump means I am going to have to give you a freebie wardrobe upgrade. I'll get to it. The important thing about this is BRADEN IS GETTING OLD! *whimper*
I totally should have let them keep a servo sooner.
Aisy .. taking your frustration out on the stick is really not going to help.
O.O Rare moment when NEITHER of them are queue stomping everything else to find the nearest horizontal surface. The stories the couch could tell you ... and how is it they only have 1 bolt? Seriously? All this sex and only 1 bolt?
First, did you know servo's could get itchy?
Second, LOL!
Seriously! Good job Braden.
Harley's aspiration has been hovering in the red for a while now because she keeps throwing me wants I can't do for her :/
Best friends with Aisy I can do.
And they both got points for it!
I have yet to work out what part of building a robot is THAT messy.
And now Amethyst! *CRY!*
I couldn't put it off any longer, but I figured if he had to get old, he was getting a party out of it.
And that is when it happened. Just as the guests were arriving for Braden's party.
The entire playable population aged teen and up EXCEPT Alexander. This is Braden's party after all.
Braden: I wish for a robot in every home!
Here! Here!
O.O!!! No words.
Better. Not great but better.
Braden: I lost my hair.
I know. :(
That is a lot of points for a game of Myshuno.
Amethyst doesn't seem to be minding the loss of Braden's hair one bit. Thank you Ame.
Harley missed the whole thing.
Braden is really not taking this aging thing well I don't think. He stares at his portrait a lot.
Amethyst still enjoys the garden and I still have not got rid of that stupid glow.
Amethyst: Hmmm. Braden! Come out here please!
Braden: You rang?
Amethyst: Shouldn't Harley be charged by now?
Braden: She should. Let me have a look.
Amethyst: Is she okay? She didn't get hurt or anything did she?
Braden: Ame, she's a robot. She doesn't get hurt.
Amethyst: Fine, damaged then. You know what I mean.
Braden: I can't seem to find anything wrong. Let's get her in the house and I will have a closer look.
Braden: Noe, I know I am supposed to be retired, but I am going to need the bench.
Noe: Sure thing. Just let me finish up here. What happened to Harley.
Braden: I don't know ...
It took Noe a few more hours to finally get a badge and by then it was time for Amethyst to age up.
She seemed in rather good spirits about the whole thing.
I am not! Also, no party, trying to wrangle that many sims into having a good time is more than I care to deal with three times in the same session.
Huh. Not bad.
Baby in the kitchen!
This is Jocelin.
And this is what Jocelin had been putting her mother through for the past 3 days.
Aisy does not do pregnant well.
They got old! *WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!*
I know Braden. I know.
So, what are you building?
Help.
Help?
I can't find anything wrong with Harley. I need to get someone in who maybe can.
You aren't going to tell me are you?
Nope.
Remember when Amethyst did this and Braden pointedly didn't look?
Yeah, he's waaaaaaaay past that now!
Amethyst: Braden! For goodness sake! She's your son's wife!
Braden: And my son is a very lucky man!
So this is Aisy's first day of work. No, that was not her going to work you saw before. We discussed this.
I remembered to look! But I do not see pointy ear nubs :/
I am not sure how I feel about this.
And this, no matter what you THINK you saw before is Aisy's first promotion.
And this is the result of Aisy and Noe doing what they do ... ALL. THE. TIME!!!!
Amethyst is an awesome gramma!
You still aren't going to tell me are you?
Nope.
Ame?
Bored. Braden has locked himself in that room, the baby is sleeping and the kids are in bed ... again.
The garden could use some tending?
Oh dear.
Kate, I have leaves on my head don't I?
Umm ... yeah ...
You are building a servo.
Took you long enough.
Why would you build another servo when you don't know what is wrong with the first one?
Because I don't know what is wrong with the first one. I can't find anything at all wrong with her so I am thinking it is something I can't test for.
But maybe another servo can.
Exactly ... and I don't know how much longer I will be here. Noe still has too much to learn to be of any help so ...
An immortal servo is her best hope if this turns out to be a difficult fix.
Yes.
:(
In other news, Aisy rocks the hostess uniform. I have never seen it actually look GOOD on a sim before.
... Or maybe I am just getting used to looking at hideous outfits.
Noe really is doing his best to be a good father ... when he is not actively trying to become a father again.
It is done.
I hope this works.
That makes both of us.
Amadeus, wake up.
Hold that thought!
Woot! Go Aisy!
Okay, carry on.
Braden: Amadeus. Do you now why you are here?
Amadeus: Yes, Sir.
Ooooh! Spiffy upgrades.
Braden: Kate, not now!
Sorry! :/
Amadeus: She is unable to recharge.
Braden: Yes, I know that, can you tell me anything else?
Amadeus: Something is blocking her solar receptors. It is also attempting to block mine.
Braden: You can feel it?
Amadeus: Yes, Sir.
Braden: Why didn't Harley tell me about it?
Amedeus: It is subtle. She may not have noticed. I notice because I know to look.
Braden: Can you tell what it is.
Amadeus: One moment.
Amadeus: I believe I have found what is causing the block, Sir.
Braden: What is that?
Amadeus: I do not know.
Braden: Can you tell me how to disable it.
Amadeus: Apologies. I will not know how to disable it until I know what it is. I will have to find the source.
Braden: What happens if you run out of power as well?
Amadeus: I believe this is a localized event. It is possible I will be able to recharge outside of the field of effect.
Braden: Then go. Find out. Find out if you are correct and how to stop this thing. And Amadeus, be careful.
Amadeus: Of course, Sir.
Braden: Forgive me?
Braden: I should have noticed something was wrong before it got to this stage. We will find a way to help you, Harley. I will, or Amadeus.
Braden: Right now though, If you will excuse me, feel I need to pass out against the wall ...
:(
He didn't pass out. I got him all tucked into bed in time.
Meanwhile, Amethyst has spent the day befriending Wilbur here and because I am going to get all the strays homes or die trying. I cheated them up in relationship before he had a chance to run off. So now the Murphy's have a second dog.
A calm, but hostile dog who eats sim food .... :/
And this gets us all caught up to where I have played to.
Next round we head over to the Channing house to check in with Melanie, Chesly, Kari and the twins!
Julien: Mr. Mayor, thank you for coming by.
Darius: Please, you are the caretaker and have known me since I was in diapers, I'm just Darius. Do you have the plans drawn up?
Julien: I do, but we are waiting for someone else.
