.:Griddle & Panini:. VDSL Generation one, Part two.
Excuse me while I paste the contents of the txt file saved to my desktop.... Many apologies for any broken code I subject you to, I was up for a job at 3am after 30 mins sleep... & went, slight fever & all.... got home, tried to stay awake long enough to eat & then crashed & burned. With a burnt thumb from the stupid curling tongs because 6 straight haired bridesmaids & a straight haired Bride all wanted curls... but not from rollers. [sigh]
Meanwhile, I now just feel like death warmed up.
So without any further ado, here is the second installment of my pixel_trade VDSL. Which is late & I'm past worrying about deadlines. Installments will go up.... when they manage to go up =P
~~*~~

TV: Just because I'm a mascot you think you have the right to be a jerk to me? Huh? What uni did YOU go to?
BULLYING. IT's UNCOOL.
~
That's silly. Everyone knows that.
That's the thing about common sense.
What is?
It isn't very common.
Oh now, Cambia.
What in seven hells has you leaving your sangas on the floor??? I know you're scarily clean but just because the pineOclean adverts say your floor will be clean enough to eat off, doesn't mean you should actually do it.
Oooh! Look, engram_au, it's green!
shur-rup [bruuuurg]
You probably shouldn't talk while you do that you know.
[bruuuurg] I hope you catch it.
Not possible. What you've got isn't contaegious. So nyer!
Is that the cheese toastie from the kitchen floor???
Um..... maybe?
You're terrible.
It was on a plate! & besides. That floor has been bleached within an inch of it's life
Which means it still has an inch of life left.
Do you believe in angels, Cambia? Do you??
How endearing!
I can just imagine Cambia having screwed her face up & waved her arms in front of her as she said that. Mind you I have to imagine it. Because the reporter only ever imagined interviewing them.
Don said that these tomatoes do best if I clip the middle growth from between stems
Then do it. The network were morons for canning Burke's Backyard. The man is a legend.
[bruuuurg]
Did you drink the Seasol?
I know, Blaire, the nausea is terrible.
...
What? Um.... Yeah.... I'm late. Ohshit.
Told you it wasn't contaegious. ^.^
I wondered what could ever possibly distract you from those.
I'm going to be a mummy!
Roid is, obviously, very happy with the news.
Meanwhile, I'm waiting quietly to see how long it takes Cambia to notice there is a cheese sandwich grilling away on the stove.
I might have also been maliciously enjoying the knowledge that I haven't bought them a smoke alarm.
I was disappointed happy to see that she was straight back to her sanga after the hug.
Roid [thinking]: Oh wedding band, how awesome are your magics that my wife is pregnant *&* able to wear shoes in the kitchen
You've ruined it, Vivian!
What's it saying? Footy tipping? Lotto numbers?
[gurgle]
Wax on.
Wax off.
Wax on.
Mouth.Off.
Roid, doting husband that he is, decides to make breakfast for his heavily pregnant wife. See what I did there?! Passage.of.time.
Shamefully, he made grape pancakes.
Apparently he found Cherimola grapes without ever setting foot in France.
The man is a champ.
Cambia: What rubbish is going on in the kitchen. I smell evil, not-cheese-related things
You don't have to do that you know.
Blasphemer.
Most women crave strange food during their pregnancies.
Cambia craved housework.
Even when things were clean, she would go & scrub them. Crazy woman.
It's not crazy. I'm just not bringing a child into a filthy, dirty house.
Dude. It's sparkling already. Try not to poison the brats before they get a chance, yeh?
Cambia: I was going to take that to the bin!
Roid: It's alright, Sweetheart, I've got it.
Cambia: But *I* was going to do it!
Woman! Get a grip! Go play in the garden.
Cambia: [sulks]
No Perfect plants yet. But some outstanding tomatoes.
Thank you!
Part way through the harvest, Cambia realised her trackies were wet & her stomach was cramping.
Cambia: was that?... OH DEAR GODS... this is not as fun as I thought.
I didn't want to listen to her screaming for hours, so I sent her to the hospital. She walked in nice & calmly, completely forgetting her prepped overnight bag sitting at home.
Nikki Mac Feegle freaked.
Nikki: She cannae be goo'n to thar! They haves tha writin o' the woords!
Obviously you haven't left your clan yet to become a Kelda. Hush or I'll prove why I'm as bad as the Big Wee Hag.
Roid left work, not caring that he'd only just started his shift, & rushed to the hospital. As he ran past her, 100% focused on the panic of pending fatherhood, Nikki was making short work of a very small Cos.
[sigh]
Doesn't seem too bad though, right? A girl called Bruce.
Stranger things have happened.
1. This is Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, & Bruce.
2. What's your name then?
3. Er... Michael.
2. Oh that's going to get confusing
1. Yeh...
2. Bruce it is then!
1. New Bruce! This is Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, Bruce, & Bruce.
Alltogethernow!
Oohhhhhhhh Lichtenstein was a drunken swine..........
Yep.
Both called "Bruce" & entirely lacking in any distinguishing features at all.
It's *your* fault.
No. It was chance. I rolled the challenge, you ate only grilled cheese & didn't have any Fertility Bonus. You autonomously watched the bloody kids channel.
The names.
I could blame the dice.
Except that you used them knowing that they try to kill you.
Point.
Awwwww, look at you two, catching the same taxi home together with your twins.
Duh?
Ashleigh Asimov didn't. She took one kid & left the other with the Dad, standing outside the hospital.
You're kidding!?!
Sadly, no. I'm not.
Are you ready?
Synchronised parenting spam!!
/spam
Yes, that is their bed in the same room as the cots.
& as an aside, I adore that you can put the bears in there.
I was thinking it was strange that the kids hadn't woken the parents at all that first night. Then I thought, why are they going orange..... oh hey in TS3 you can see their stats.... HOLY FRAK!!!
They didn't cry. Hell, they didn't even wake up until they were RED. But on speed 3, they went from orange to red faster than I could react.
Notice that Roid is holding Bruce calmly, & Cambia is only just picking up Bruce?
Crying baby *&* Rude Awakening... neither can stop the compulsion that is MAKE THE GODSDAMNED BED.
In an effort to get them back into sync, I made Roid taunt feed Bruce a second time.
[snerk]
You did this on purpose didn't you.
Oh hells yes.
I'm sorry what?
Can I have you in my kitchen please?
I think it's a Smeg.
Nothing else is awesome enough to be self cleaning as standard.
I completely failed at getting a screencapture of the Opportunity she's doing.... but basically, Emmett Ryan (skittlebox) called her out of the blue, after no further conversation since their cheesy discussion post toasted serenade, & requested that Cambia make a group serving of a "Dish of Your Choosing". Haha. Yeh.... like there was a choice. XD
Grilled Epicure cheese, roma tomatoes, coriander, 4 types of pepper (including a special Cambodian pepper that we're running short on gahhhhhhhhhh need to go back or send for supplies!), salt from Port Hedland......
Gah. I hope you're as hungry as I am. -.-
Sharing is caring.
Cambia looked at her stalker intel map & headed off to meet Emmett & give him his sandwiches.
He ignored her & drove home.
Upon successful survival roll stalking
[starts again]
Cambia went to Emmett's house & parted with an Outstanding serve of Cheese Jaffles.
Emmett: Do you remember the song from that night?
Cambia, leave.
But.... he serenaded the cheese!
If you stand around long enough he'll likely cut it too.
But you have Roid. And the Bruces.
Go home.
I think Bruce cut the cheese
Honey, I think she did a lot more than that.
Cambia refused to use the shower because it wasn't clean enough.
The bath I could understand. But the shower?
Meanwhile, Cambia is fuming green.
Nothing keeps Cambia from her garden.
Nothing.
You wouldn't use a slightly grimy shower... but you'll prepare food on that????????
Grilled.... cheeeeeeeese...
Mindless automatone.
I bet even the undead would have thought twice about eating off that bench.
I bet you're thinking, 'What the hell is so good about this pic that you had to subject us to it? You think we haven't seen this in our own games?'
Cambia has the Loner trait. She's CHOOSING to sit with Roid to eat.
That's pretty damned special in my eyes.
What are you doing?
Making sure I look good.
What? The shower wasn't enough?
Apparently the bench was fine to prepare food on... so long as her guests don't notice.
Have you gone soft, Cambia?
Slightly blue & mouldy perhaps?
Why are you choosing to sit with Emmett?
We can talk about grilled cheese
... what are you up to? [glares]
I let them watch tv together. Cambia sat on the edge of the 3 seater.
Until I checked on the Bruces, YES- they are in the next room.
What is this scootching thing? Don't make me strip you of your right to be autonomous.
Oh wait. No romance hacks. S'all good. They can watch telly all plutonic-like & maybe I can suggest a skilling channel in a minute.
Or not.
Apparently the Flirty trait is ACR for TS3.
Cambia. Stop it. You're married.
Cambia: So Emmett.....
Right. THat's it. No more nice dragon.
N'awwwww.... look at your lovely daughers....
See that, Emmett? She's got kids.
If I could have been bothered with a holiday to Egypt & buying cameras & learning extra skills, there would be pictures of her husband on the wall... but her wedding ring should be obvious enough.
Oh. Birthday.
[headdesk]
Yep, bad me.
---- STOP THE PRESS!! -----
Entirely unrelated, I read out my list of Cambia's earlier ingrediants to my partner in the next room while I tried to remember the type of cheese I liked best for that. Apparently I made him hungry..... as he just brought a cheese & tomato jaffle in to me... complete with the special pepper.
[feels loved]
^.^

& now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.....
Toddler|Bruce!
Amid strange, glowing lights.
Cambia takes this opportunity to chance being chucked on, in order to see this interaction for the last time before Bruce is a toddler. The other Bruce already is one.
Confused yet?
You should be.
Cambia, Bruce & Bruce are out of the bedroom & in the loungeroom.
Emmett is being a creepy house guest & is wandering the bedroom.
This was the point where I decided referring to them as Long Hair Bruce & Short Hair Bruce would make AIMchat & notepad sooo much simpler.
This is short hair Bruce.
Now that they matter (sortof), her traits are Athletic & Virtuoso.
I made up a spreadsheet & roll a d10 for column & a d8 for row. If toddlers/kids can't have that trait, I reroll until I get one that they can.
If both parents share a trait, then the children get it - so both Bruces will get 'No Sense of Humour' the moment the trait is available to them, because both Roid & Cambia have it.
Roid comes home in time to take Bruce away from Emmett, & tell him to get the hell out of his house ask him to leave.
Long haired Bruce is Daddy's little Llama.
Even though her traits are Insane, Heavy Sleeper.
Wrong Bruce, Roid.
Not the first OR last time I'll say that, I'm sure.
