The Whampire ISBV - Week One
First off, a little blurb about what I'm doing here. If you haven't noticed, I LOVE starting legacies, but I'm not so hot on finishing them. At this time, I have four legacies that I've begun posting, and one that was simply a niggling idea in the back of my mind, begging to come to fruition. Because I have such a hard time managing which families to play and update, this seemed the best solution.
Rachel (simsforaranya) and I were chatting and she mentioned her BACC, and how she wanted to play her other legacy families. I suggested that she simply move her legacy families INTO her BACC, which was what began this project (mine, and hers as well :P).
However, there were some things about the BACC that didn't sit well with my ideas, so I rolled in some of the rules of the Prosperity Challenge, and thus created the Build a Prosperous City Challenge (BAPCC, rofl). On top of that, all my legacies will be played by their original rules, so that in the end I have an immensely complex series of rules, unlocks, and scorekeeping! I reserve the right to at any time say, "Screw it, I'm not doing anything this week," to keep things fun. :P
Anyway, on to our first family (I'm playing in reverse alphabetical order! :D), the Whampires!
This lovely house is all our lovely founder could afford despite her fairly small plot of land.
And here she is, Dervish Whampire (formerly Dervish Dork), doing what she does best: gold digging. Or, well, bone digging, but close enough. The point is, she ain't messin' with no broke vampires.
Dervish: Silly water, you're not supposed to come out of the ground.
Dervish: Oh my God, what if it ruins my perfectly coifed hair?!
If you haven't noticed, Dervish is a vampire. Her challenge, as I mentioned in the teaser post, is the I'm Surrounded by Vampires challenge, of my own devising. It has all the same rules as the I'm Surrounded by Idiots, with the strange caveat that all sims in the household must be vampires (unless impossible, like with children). For this first updated, I used a no-vamp- decay-indoors hack because I was pretty sure death was imminent for uncontrollables, but I am removing it for next week.
Dervish randomly rolled the Family aspiration, and wants to have 6 grandchildren. Hopefully we can achieve that.
This is the first sim Dervish has the pleasure to meet, Chrysocolla by verocchio! The neighborhood has only one community lot (earned by having over four households, per BACC challenge rules), and it's a clothing shop. Everyone is congregating there.
Oh great, a vampire with a sense of humour.
Chrys: You WILL pay for that, snaggletooth.
Dervish: What'd you call me?!
Yay, an adult! Valentin by astro_cake would make an excellent vampire, I feel.
Initially everything was going well!
Dervish: Oh man, did you hear that little blue kid fart earlier? What a lame-o.
Valentin: I can't believe you used the f-word!
Dervish: what.
Dervish: Ow! You...poked me! Why did you do that?
Chrys: I just wanted to see you run your boob.
Dervish: ...Well played.
Dervish introduces herself to another potential mate, Topaz by ayachan072.
I have visions of babies with immensely pointy chins...
Topaz: Sorry bro, I'm just not into vampires.
Dervish: Hmm, something under my nails.
Dervish: Oh, sorry, were you talking to me? I stopped listening.
Topaz: Fine, I'm out of here.
Dervish: Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. I'm pretty sure these people don't want your bare buttocks on their door.
Back at home, Dervish cannot believe her luck!
Sorry Derv, that's not going to happen. There's only one job opening in all of Mayhaven, and we don't need any bloodsucking politicians.
The rise of the sun over Dervish's quaint little house means one thing:
My favourite part of having vampires! *KRAKOW*
Sorry missy, that ain't happening, either.
Oooh, a late night walkby! Hello Marduk (perchalicious)!
...What is it with the joy buzzer thing? It's only been two sim days and I've seen it 6 times!
Dervish: Wanna do something hot?
Dervish: I'm really good with my hands...
Dervish: And I'm pretty great with my mouth, too!
Marduk: You can count my sexy red ass IN!
Dervish: And then, the pixie cried, "Lobster moths!" ...Marduk, are you okay? Aren't you hot enough?
Markduk: No, it's plenty warm. It's just, when you said you were good with your mouth...
Dervish: What? I'm doing all the voices! And I even did the hand gestures that Matlock did when he was catching the lobster moths!
Marduk: ...
When wooing Marduk didn't go her way, Dervish returned again to Nerissa's clothing shop, where she ran into Bonaventura (charterzard). He seems amiable enough, right?
Wrong. Dervish seems to bring out the worst in everybody.
But hey! Some mutual interest! There's a change from the shoulder- shrugging and gagging that all her other suitors have earned!
Q: I approve of this argument, whatever these two idiots are talking about.
Bonaventura: You're great!
Dervish: Hey, thanks!
Bonaventura: I'd offer you a great job opportunity at my company but actually my company doesn't exist because that career isn't unlocked yet. I'm not even sure why I brought it up.
Dervish: That's okay about the job. How about you and me go out somewhere fun instead?
Bonaventura: Eh, I have to pass. I was really only interested in you as a business proposition.
Dervish: Are you SERIOUS?
Oh good, sunlight. Just what my founder needs.
I'm getting mixed signals from this chick. I think perhaps the "Atrociously Good Witch" would be a better title than "Infallibly."
Back at home, Dervish wins her way into Bonaventura's friendship with a rousing rendition of "I Saw the Sign" by Ace of Base.
Dervish: And it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign! Well, gotta go, we're at 100 friendship.
I bought her an easel so she'd have something to do. However, being a vampire, her real heart's desire lay elsewhere...
Floristry.
Who am I to deny her her destiny? Besides, it matches the decor. Once she's got her talent badges, I can have her open up a vampire flower shop!
Emily, you butthead, put that paper down!
On Wednesday, Dervish ate her very first meal of macaroni and cheese! I was so proud. She then called Bonaventura over, who eagerly accepted.
Dervish: You! You little pervert!
Chrysocolla: I'm a teenage boy. Duh.
Bonaventura: Uh, Dervish? Hello? Guy you invited over, here?
Dervish: Oh, Bona! It's so lovely to see you!
Chrys: Heehee, that sounds like "boner."
Bona: My darling, you look more beautiful in the moonlight than I've ever seen you before.
Dervish: That's because I'm a vampire.
Dervish: This guy's all right!
Dervish: You will join me in eternal life, Bonaventura!
Bona: Sorry, I'm inside, I can't hear you. What are you saying?
Dervish: Nothing! bleh
Skunk: Hey, guys, someone wanna pet me? *heehee*
Skunk: No? Maybe if I walk by again? Look at me! So cute and fluffy! Not at all stinky or dangerous! *heeheehee*
Skunk: Hel-Hello? Earth to you two! Adorable fluffy animal here! Pet me! Ah, forget it, I'll go spray someone else.
Bona: Oh my darling, the stars in the night sky are like the stars in my heart for you.
*le smooch* And so they carried on for quite some time!
...with only minor mishaps.
Dervish: Hey, cheer up, buddy. It's not your fault you rejected me for a makeout...
Bona: *sniff* Thanks. You're a great pal, Derv.
*le success!*
Shortly after this, love bubbles appeared for the both of them! And we get to learn a little something about our first uncontrollable!
He's neat.
Really neat.
He's a Grilled Cheese sim.
And he's hung.
The two obtained a double bed long enough for me to hear some baby chimes! It's Thursday of the first week and we've already nabbed a roommate and gotten impregnated! I have to call this a HUGE SUCCESS.
Dervish enjoys a little post-coital ikebana.
And then it's time to get her housemate into the challenge properly.
Oh my god, hi!
Since he's a vampire now, Bona needed an appropriate makeover. I wanted to keep the rockstar look, though. I feel I did well.
Pledging the rest of your life to someone is a bigger deal when you live forever. Not a big enough deal to get dressed, but still. At least it wasn't in the kitchen.
I got a popup for Bona's work carpool, and realised that he technically CAN'T have a job, since they're all still locked. So, I broke ISBI rules to see what it was.
Bona: Hey, I can't come to work anymore, I'm a vampire.
Boss: That's rough, dude. We'll miss you, here, but I understand.
Bona: I wonder what's in the news today.
...clearly there are some habits here we'll need to break you of. -.-
Although thoroughly baby'd, the couple still goes at it. All.
The.
Time. Sheesh, one-bolters!
Dervish: This dirty plate is stinking up the kitchen.
GAH. OKAY, I WILL BUY YOU A PROPER SINK AND A GARBAGE DISPOSAL. I'm doomed when even my controllable is an idiot. -.-
So if you're undead, that whole "till death do us part" line doesn't really have as much sway, does it?
...je suis impressed.
A wild Marduk appears! Despite getting along like a not-getting-along thing, these two kiss-kiss each other on meeting.
Dervish: Look, I'm like totally pregnant!
Bona and Marduk: Oh, we're looking.
Oh Bona, you're gonna fit right in here.
Two crotch shots in one update?! I'm on fire!
No, seriously, I'm aflame, someone please call the fire department.
He's soooo angry.
This is the last time this update you'll see Bona in his coffin. I squeed at their synchronized awakening!
This is the reason I am getting rid of the hack to keep vampires safe indoors. Note the times and the location of Bonaventura. Note that only ONE of them changes at all.
Bona: I'm not here. I'm playing a game with the TV off.
Dervish: Oh, sure he's here!
Dervish: Oh Booonaaa~~! Get off the video game system if you ever want to get laid again!
Bona: Ugh, so pushy.
I deleted the video game system because they kept trying to throw away the controllers. O.o I also bought a TV that actually works.
Since bebe chimes happened on Thursday, we get babytime right before the end of the week, yay!
Meet their boy, Vlad!
Aaaaand the handoff!
And a girl, Bathory!
Only two, thank god. T_T
Bona: What? He matches the carpet.
Actually, Bona is a very good daddy!
And with that, Monday rolled around without further incident, and it's time to switch to the next household!
Up next, the Potts!
