.:Foundation & Empire:. Generation 1.0
Posted at the demand request of bloodflesh, bondchick_nett, simsforaranya, brilliantcat, jenji_sims & katusims. Because it took a lot to get the hint.
I started this family to play my shiny new World Adventures & got attached. No story... just stuff they do, which is more than enough apparently o.O
Laidin Asimov moved into a run down shack in the famous Sunset Valley. Riverview had been tempting but she’d wanted to be close to the beach. Not that her shack was very close to it…. & if looks were anything to go by it was no where near one at all! Mosquito Cove looked like it housed crocodiles in its rundown swampland. But the water was hot & the mice were… mostly friendly & it became “home.”
She made sure to keep stock of large quantities of citronella & Aerogard so she could avagoodweekend.
There are stranger things in cemeteries than epigraphs.
For example, the Goth family.
Apparently, subtlety is lost on them.
Nope, she’s not trying to bathe in the kitchen after the … incident at the mausoleum. She decided to fix it.
Playing with tools & running water while exhausted, charred & grumpy. Highly intelligent that is. Leaving the water ON while you fix it is bad enough. Smacking the taps with the spanner is just ridiculous.
So, of course, it didn’t work at all.
As you can see by her clean & un-singed hair, work clothes & the severe flooding damaging those floor boards from leaving the water gushing out of the tap overnight & through the day. Actually… It’s a swamp. Those floorboards are likely always swollen from water damage.
Yes! Put your bare hand out to catch that jellyfish! You’ll be able to make it to the local sushi bar before your two minutes to live is up, right? Right??
Now there is a death you could have written in, EAxis. Death by box jellyfish.
These amuse me.
Dirty, lying Astronauts!! You can keep your space rocks! We all know Kubric did it! Teach the Controversy!
Laidin lets her frustration at missing being a part of the picketline get the better of her & loses a game of chess against herself.
Because the edges of old fiberglass baths are the most comfortable seat in the house for reading the paper. Don’t you realise that the sofa downstairs is a torture device???
Laidin constantly attends the local council’s gym in an attempt to meet people. The idea failed miserably - the only man to ever catch her eye there worked out on the machine beside her for 3 hours…. & she never said a word to him. When she finally got up the balls to say something, she looked over to find his machine empty & caught sight of his back as he left the main doors. She chased him to the street, but he was gone.
She never saw him again; even though she kept an eye out for him at the shops, gym, park & beach. Quite sad really.
But retail therapy works wonders, right? Right?? Smashing open the piggy bank, Laidin booked a flight to Egypt. Hurrah for getting bonuses from promotions & being a complete spendthrift.
First law to break; using a camera or electronic device during take off or landing.
Anyone want to tell me why the hell there appears to be a simless plumbbob in the middle of basecamp?
Or is it a weather balloon?
The sales woman glares at the figure Laidin typed on her calculator. In a moment she’ll grin, erase & double it before handing it back…. even though her face looks like she’s about to call in the heavies.
Looks more like a bunker than a tomb.
Oh. Wait. I get it. XD XD
Never trust the French*.
Apparently, physicians are licensed archeologists in disguise. Second law broken.
[shifty eyes]
My shutter finger was happy - EGYPT. COME ON!!
You should have heard me when I saw this. I was yelling abuse at the screen in the hopes EAxis would hear me from here. Poor Pete. He must have jumped a mile when I started that, & it was the first of a number of times in January he would regret buying me WA for Christmas.
“WTF EA!! SERIOUSLY WHERE IS YOUR EFFORT! MY 3 YEAR OLD NEICE COULD RENDER BETTER THAN THIS! HERETIC HAD BETTER OBJECTS THAN….”
Yeah. Stared. Laughed. Turned red. Laughed. Moved on to another area feeling like a right twat.
Pretty ^.^
All I could think of with the moto was the sound the ones in South East Asia sound. Rennnnnnnnnnnrrrrrnnnnnnnnnnnrnnnnnnnnnrennnnnnnnnn[cough] nnnnnnnnrnnnnnnnnnrennnnnnnnnn
I’m hoping she has her international driver’s licence sorted.
Law three broken. Do not touch the carvings/engravings. Gah. They go shiney & wear away & end up looking like this .
This is her ‘oh frak.’ face.
You know, the one that you pull when you know you’re doing something wrong & even though you’ve tried to be quiet there’s a huge noise…. moments later you look around to see if you’ve been caught.
Law five***.
Six! & then seven, as she kept what she found. The woman is on a roll!!
I think Anubis got to her. Aside from the obvious stupidity of climbing on ancient, crumbling stone, she did so in heels
& that looks like the face of a woman who has just recalled why you don’t drink the water.
Grumblemumblemeningitismumblehepetitismumblegrumbleshotsgrumblegrumble.
More lawbreaking, though its already counted in six & seven & I’m not counting repeats as different laws.
This was where Pete was staring at my screen in shock & hatred. Perhaps if EA hadn’t made the destinations real world countries who are suffering from the very real issue of illegal tomb raiding & black market trading of priceless artifacts for private collections. Ugh.
Karma?
[snerk]
Mrerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Gimmmieeeee myyy tingssssss baaaaaahck
[lurch]
Apparently she gets natural 20s on disarm trap checks.
I love that the fish are so intent on getting away from the crocs that they are leaping out of the water & wishing for lungs.
I want these at our front door here. With citronella oil in them for burning. Laidin thinks her swamp is bad - you can lose a litre of blood just hanging the washing out here.
She’s annoyed because of that Frenchman.
Luck with men. She doesn’t have the good type.
Epic lantern fruits!
They light up any room & keep your pockets warm when you steal them!!
Which leads me to broken law eight, which is the WORST of all of them.
Seriously EA. WTF.
If you’d left it alone that she’d done the opportunity for work & let us assume it was bad or good it wouldn’t have riled me so much. But to say that she HID BEETLES IN HER SUITCASE THROUGH CUSTOMS????? Shame on you. I nearly uninstalled the game & asked Pete to return it to the store, I was that angry. I didn’t play for a while.
No Laidin. He’s not there. I said never, remember? Never is never is never.
Meet Janna. She’s the resident crocodile at Mosquito Cove, because there wasn’t one & there should have been. Also smuggled back from Egypt without declaring.
& yes. The outfit set may have been why I came back & played. [shifty eyes]
She’s a drongro. Reminiscing about how she was set upon by a long dead Pharaoh whose brains & vital organs were sucked out through its nasal cavity. Yes dear. Wonderful moment that one was.
So… here is the house.
I think she was going upstairs to read the paper while sitting on the edge of the bath.
[sparkle sparkle] Hai Youssef my unsuspecting foreign visitor! [sparkle sparkle]
[sparkle sparkle]
[sparkle sparkle]
Ridiculous Eye Candy thing =P
bondchick_nett, when you make your ts3 self sim she needs this buyable attribute thing.
Its amazing what can happen when you really want a boyfriend. Entrapment is terrible, but let’s face it. She’s done worse already.
N’awwwww.
I ADORE this interation. Cannot get them to do it often enough.
“So, er…. My lack of guilty conscience is annoying my controller & I do rather like having you around so whatdya think?”
“Shineeeeeeey!”
TS3 Sims are like Kendar. I am very much looking forward to the next sim I have with the klepto trait.
Anyway. Time passed & Youssef’s visa ran out. 3 months then get the hell out of the country. Really though, just head off to Bali for a week & come back & it will have reset…. Cept he didn’t realise that, went home & left Laidin to deal with a home birth on her own coz she’s a cheap shit & didn’t think to go to the maternity hospital.
Despite the odds, Ashleigh survived =)
Youssef got a new visa, came back & was dragged down to the beach to marry Laidin in a ceremony that was so private it didn’t even have a celebrant or a legal witness. It’s the thought that counts, right? =P
[/Wedding spam]
Youssef is such a doting father. He always put his daughter before him. ^.^
Shark fishing in formal wear. Not for any other reason than she’d finished marrying Youssef & went straight there instead of going home to get changed.
[headdesk]
Laidin, looking a tad gaunt in her middle age, holds her ridiculously swaddled baby over a cake.
“You see, dear, that’s why it is not possible that Neil Armstrong ever took those photographs on the moon as the lens would have been irrevocably ruined.”
Ashleigh stares at the cross section diagrams & squeaks in amusement that is totally lost on her mother.
If all else fails, go fishing.
Ashleigh gnaws the ball off the end of the stick, to add to her gum, alfoil & reticulation parts. The babysitter wont know what hit him.
Losing again.
Looks cute doesn’t it.
Amazing what context will do.
[shudders]
They finally had enough money to buy a house that had two bedrooms. So they packed up & high tailed it out of there, to a little weatherboard place that was guaranteed to have less mosquitoes.
* Especially when they are wearing their flag** for a shirt.
** I'm part French (don't hold it against me!), so please don't go getting ants in your pants about derogatory comments that aren't =)
*** Law four was broken at the point she trespassed to get where she grabbed the pickaxe.
