The Applesby Legacy 1.1
Want the pirate bar in this entry? It's here!
Thus begins our second update. Don't worry, I didn't lose any playtime - this happened while I was loading up.
And, uh, ignore my BPAL bookkeeping in the background. >.>
Secret Maker: These screenshots are too dark!
Actually, it just was really dark on the lot, period. Yanno, considering Penny has but a single lamp. I therefore directed her to catch another lightsource.
Penny: Why aren't there any in here?
Maybe you should, I dunno, not leave the jar open while you're catching other ones. After all, a firefly in a jar is worth ten in the air.
Finally! Light has been obtained!
Penny: To ten thousand fireflies, I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes!
...You don't even have a radio. And if you did, it is SO not Viking to listen to cutesy songs by Death Cab soundalikes.
Penny: Because catching fireflies is so viking.
Touche.
Still not the rosy glow of 5,000 gold coins, though...
But it'll do!
Now that she has a nice bright light to read by...she goes over to the other side of the house to study cooking. wtg.
Penny: You know what this yard needs? More holes!
Still not a treasure chest.
...this makes no sense to me. Shouldn't you gain body, hauling all that dirt around? And also, its DIRT. NOT CLEAN.
Strange rants about dirt aside, nothing much happens in Penny's life.
ohai yulian. You will be in this legacy...with your lovely Trill skin...
I WANT. A TREASURE CHEST.
RAIN OR SHINE. Still not king Still not a treasure chest, btw.
However, the local museum must be loaded, because she's been making a mint selling off rocks and bones, and I'm able to buy her a Neighbor Spying Machine! Because let's face it, stars are boring.
I was going to make another Owl City joke, but I'll pass. Instead, I just have her dump the bugs, and buy her a telephone!
...Which began ringing literally the SECOND I exited Buy Mode.
...Why am I not surprised.
Gregorian: So I saw, er, I mean, I heard you got a phone!
Gregorian: I saw the loveliest necklace today. It made me think of you. Actually, everything makes me think of you. Want to go downtown?
Penny: Uh, sure. I need some new shoes anyway!
The first townie to show up is bondchick_nett's Peace Mosher. Who is sooo delectable I might consider marrying him in this gen, even though he too is a Nett sim.
Oh hey, is that the rich bartender from last update?
Bartender: Why yes. Yes it is.
Why, hello, Giles by pinkposeysims! How nice of you to join us!
Peace's sister, Wynter, also makes an appearance. She looks kind of pissed.
Penny. I really am trying to keep your options open. Can we work together?
Penny: I have this strange compulsion to talk to you.
Peace: Um, it's nice to meet you as well!
Penny: Oooh, okay, I like this one.
Wait a second...
Gregorian: She's so beautiful when she pokes other men in the pectoral...
Penny and Peace do a little dance, make a little...awkward face at one another...
Gawds he's just SO cute.
Penny: He's sparkling... Is he...a vampire?
Your mind is saying yes, but your face is saying no.
Cameo time! Here we have Flock, by perchalicious! I call him Professor von Dreadlocks.
And another Nett sim, Herbage! Slightly less makeup than in her game, though.
We also have Angela Coleslaw, as she is named in my game. XD She is by stakeit_uk!
And Antwerp (AHTVEHP, if you please), the OH SO SERIOUS German clubber.
Ahntvehp: Zees is so disgraceful. Back in Churmany ve never dahnce so terrible.
Penny: Why did you tell me to sit all the way over here?
Bartender: Are you crazy? I can't be seen with someone as POOR-looking as you!
Gregorian: Penny, I will shoot myself in the head right here and now if you don't marry me.
Penny: I bet your finger isn't even loaded.
Giles: Teehee! She totally called your bluff!
Gregorian: No, I mean it, Penny, you are my world and my stars. You are to me what grilled cheese is to you.
Giles: ...slightly awkward here.
Giles: So you like grilled cheese?
Penny: OH BOY DO I EVER! YOU DON'T EVEN WANNA KNOW.
Giles: OH, but I do. Tell me all about it!
Giles: I love grilled cheese, too!
Penny: That is SO hot.
Gregorian: Can I shoot myself NOW?
Penny: That strange compulsion is back. Do you like Grilled Cheese?
Peace: Dude, you are all kinds of crazy, I don't even want to hear about it!
Me: *whistles innocently* >.>
Penny: I think it's time to call in a night. Bye!
Gregorian's Heart: *BREAKS*
Penny: CHILL DOWN, GREGORIAN'S HEART. I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN LATER.
Gregorian's Heart: *sniff, sniff* Okay...
Giles: Well, this was a lot of fun, guys! Thanks for inviting me!
You know what this means, don't you?
It means that Penny is NOT the classiest lady for first times.
YES. I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED. CALL A TAXI.
Penny: I wonder if he'll be waiting for me at my house...
It was bedtime when she got home. She woke up again before the sun rose.
Penny: Gregorian...what are you doing up there?
Gregorian: Oh, nothing...just thought I'd stop by. You know. I was, uh, in the neighboring...plane. Of thought. Yeah. Did you miss me?
Penny: *dramatically* Oh, I can't stay in bed anymore...
Penny: I'm just too...hot.
Now we see why you won the poll. :P
Tough. Garden! GARDEN LIKE YOU MEAN IT.
After her tomatoes were tended, I let her do whatever she wanted. This was it.
The newsboy is a little...obsessed. He drops off the paper every morning, then spends a bit of time staring at Penny's bed, and then wanders off, dejected that he wasn't invited to stay!
Bugs? How can there be bugs! She cares for those plants like they're her own children!
Oh. Whoever could that be in the background.
I guess there's no stopping it at this point.
I let her ask him to move in.
Gregorian: I win. Here's my dowry.
He immediately sets upon yon spyglass.
Gregorian: X3
And the house gets a slight upgrade...I need to save money for flattening the terrain back out at the end of the week.
That's all for now! Gonna go play again!
