The Dimwit Legacy ISBI: 8.12
Alrightey, what havoc will Dimwit Generation H8 wreak during their sophomore year? Read on to find out!
Last time, it didn't escape my attention that Emmeline also digs this total dork, so Cici had better get to work on him. Oh, his name is Bryce van Shouten, in case you were wondering.
Bryce: Check out mah beefy supervillainry!
Cecile: Sorry, it's not as impressive as mine.
Turns out he finds her unappealing, because he thinks she'd just leech him for his money. How could he get such a cruel and unfair idea about our sweet, lovely torch holder? :(
It worked on the first husband.
Etienne: EXCUSE ME, but how am I supposed to beat up on my sister when she's having a water balloon fight with some weirdo? DOESN'T ANYBODY EVER THINK ABOUT MY NEEDS??
Patience is a virtue.
Rematch.
I moved the haystack closer to the portal, hoping that would encourage Cici's idiots to earn their body skill points. It worked! You know what they say about location. Etienne stood there and cheered Emmeline on, lol!
And then he joined in, lolol!
Emmeline: Oh wow, that's embarrassing.
I don't often get visitors passing out in their food. This guy is gifted.
My game is doubling up on everything. You should see how many professors I have now. My ThereCanBeOnlyOneProfessor mod has failed me.
Bryce called the next day, despite not being all that attracted to Cici. She must have some of Ursula's magnetism.
And they got through freshman year in one piece.
But I don't think Etienne is going to last much longer, unless I can get a karaoke machine in there somewhere and it actually functions. I've had some trouble with people snapping out of their action to use it, but I think that's happened only on the Dimwits' home lot.
No showers in the house. Nope.
Cecile: DON'T EVER STAND NAKED WITH THE DOOR OPEN AGAIN!
One fight is never enough.
You know how Sims roll wants to buy small animal cages and then that's the last you hear of it? Well, Cici is really serious about having a bird.
So we went ahead and filled up the cage with a hawk called Nadine. I feel like this is what Cici would choose. Maybe she's hoping it will attack a husband.
Cecile: If you're thinking of murdering my bird just to get back at me, then you won't believe how much pain I will cause you.
She wanted to play with Nadine, but Etienne beat her to it!
So the next day, Cici tried to ask Alejandro on a date.
Cecile: All right, pal, if you want to do it the hard way.
Emmeline never minds the gratuitous violence. Let's hope Nadine doesn't, either.
Nadine: Of course not! Because then they forget to close the cage door, heh-heh-heh!
And after a couple of negative interactions, Cici decides to drug the dude into marrying her. LOL, did I even mention that she invited him over after he refused to go out with her?
Cecile: Cooperative now! That's how I like 'em!
Alejandro: Rainbows and dolphins and cookies!
These two can't be bothered with Cici's weddings, because they know how many she intends to have. They went straight for the treats instead.
Demarco: Oh, bless, bless, bless! I always cry at weddings! *sniffle*
LOL they had a guest/witness after all! This is Demarco Lockhart, aka the llama mascot of the seriously mustached. How illustrious!
Looks like this marriage is going to be consummated, lol!
Alejandro: It's weird how we're married all of a sudden, like someone made a genie wish or something.
Cecile: Yeah, or something.
This bird is a pain in the a-double. I already rearranged the house for it because it was stuck in flight mode in front of its cage, and now it's stuck in front of the door. I have to keep deleting doors and walls so the idiot can get back to its cage. Is it just a stupid bird, or is the house too small?
UGH! Etienne likes Nadine even more than Cici does. Just remember to close the cage door, you moron.
Guess who didn't remember. >:(
Try to let her out of that, Etienne!
HA! GO FIND ANOTHER OBSESSION, LOSER.
You know what? This guy is actually kinda sexy--too sexy for this challenge, in fact. Maybe next generation.
Cici did less by way of academics this semester, but still managed to pull off an A plus. Maybe her professors are afraid of her.
Cecile: And claw his skin and gouge his eyes XD
But which his is she talking about?
Maybe this one. OMYGOSH COACH KARL. I THINK YOUR TIME HAS FINALLY COME. I don't know if you remember Coach Karl, but he picked on generation two Mimi and has been perving on students for a long time. Can we marry and murder coaches without murdering the game?
Alejandro: So...should we talk?
Cecile: I didn't take you out to talk.
I sent them to the Crypt o' Night Club, because Cici is trying to figure out how to dispose of Alejandro.
Lookit u guiz! The Dimwits' neighborhood spawned its own version of Yehudi! This one is named Borislav Dunstan! Isn't that fantastic? XD
Now here's who we were hoping to see! I feel like the grand vampire bat looks different than regular vampire bats in this game, but probably I just haven't seen it in so long that I'm making things up. Either way, it's cute!
Cecile: Hey, have you bitten anyone tonight?
Cecile: BECAUSE HAVE I GOT A SUGGESTION FOR YOU.
Countess Rose Rubio: Look into my eyes! Deep into my eyes!
Countess Rose Rubio: CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP
Alejandro: This is better than my entire marriage.
That is very, very sad. But it's also yay! I thought Cici would have to befriend the Countess before she could get her to bite anyone, and things weren't looking good on that front. They didn't get along, at all. X) But fortunately all it took was 1000 influence points, which she somehow had, and now we're in business.
Part One of the plan to get rid of Alex is complete. Now all we have to do is wait for him to execute Part Two: walking in daylight. Because this being an ISBI, I can't stop him. O:)
Cecile: Ooooh you know what? You're sexier as a vampire!
Alejandro: Finally I get to make out!
Because you never made out with Callie all those times all over the dorm for all those decades.
Anyway, now we'll go home so the countdown can begin.
Well we bought a karaoke machine, and we'll see if Etienne--no! Lorelei! What are you doing? Don't let that stupid bird out of its cage!
Cecile: Whew, the undead really do stink! Maybe not so sexy after all.
Alejandro: Gotta keep those new fangs pearly white!
It's the dawning of his first full day as a vampire. How much do you want to bet it will also be his last?
Cecile: My collection is growing.
I'm already forgetting the first husband's name. Maybe it's Alder, LOL!
Alejandro: Hey, we have one of these at the dorm, too. Cool!
Always the wrong idiot who uses what you put in the game.
I think Cici is already planning the next husband's demise.
And so begins Part Two.
Alejandro: Oh no, suddenly I'm too hungry to sleep, but I'm too tired to eat! How did this happen?
I can't imagine.
There goes their dean's list streak.
Alejandro: I feel terrible, but I just can't miss class today. 8(
Two hours later:
LOL! I have to give him points, though. I thought he'd die on the portal like dormies do, but he really wanted to make it to the toilet first.
However! I've never seen a vampire death in my game before, so I canceled his action. Sorry, Alex, but better to die out in daylight than in front of a toilet, I guess.
This dormie thought it was a very disgusting sight indeed.
Everyone actually came out to see Alejandro off, even the streaker, awww.
Except for Cici, of course. These were her priorities.
Etienne was beside himself with grief, who knows why.
Oh! And I remembered to put in this mod, so Cici can actually benefit from her husbands' deaths, thus adding a new layer of relevance and evil to the challenge. Too bad I didn't know about this mod when I played Ursula through the challenge! (Awww, Alex left Callie, his long-time girlfriend whom he cheated on, some money.)
So, RIP Alejandro. I'm sorry I didn't like your fashion sense. No, wait--why am I apologizing? I could give Chelsea the dormie a makeover, no probs, but Alejandro wouldn't let me. So yeah, not sorry I don't have to look at that outfit anymore.
By the way, I'm not going to count Cici's husbands' deaths toward my ISBI tally, because we're setting them up to die, so that doesn't feel accidental. Starving Aldric was intentional, and while Alejandro did walk out into the sun all by himself, we made him a vampire for exactly that reason. However, I will count it if they really do die while doing something that they chose to do, or if a ghost picks them off. Now let's see if I'll actually remember what I decided. X)
What do you know! Etienne is doing something useful! Cici would prefer him to be doing it about 500 miles away.
They ran out of other stuff to do.
Part 2.
Look at this snow scene that's not completely artistically balanced.
Emmeline made a friend.
Really, Cici, is fighting with your brother more important than sleep now?
Cecile: YES.
Their little rented Victorian looks so sweet and innocent in very snow accumulation.
We're hanging out at the Student Union today with the intent of establishing contact with Coach Karl. Of course, other stupid things may happen in the meantime. Or instead.
Sylvester: Omuhgosh noooooo why are these people fighting??
You just don't know them.
We "influenced" Emmeline to get some studying done while we're here.
Unfortunately it didn't keep her busy long enough.
And Etienne got poked around.
*sigh* I guess Dimwits would consider this part of the curriculum.
She definitely believes in keeping her enemies closer.
I was going to get mad at Cici for standing around talking when she's practically starving to death, but then I saw to whom she was doing the talking. I'm saving Bryce for senior year, and we may even take him home with us. I kinda like that Maxis face and wouldn't mind her starting generation nine with him.
Emmeline what is wrong with you go eat
So I guess she's been waiting all these years for the proper time to unleash her inner hellbeast. Okay.
Meanwhile, Cici is making time with Bryce. Angelina thought it was hilarious.
EMMELINE. I finally deleted Chelsea so that Emmeline would find another theme. I don't care if that's interfering, I was getting really bored with it.
Cecile: Oh, I see you've met my brother. 8D
Angelina: You suck Etienne! DIE!
This really does get repetitive.
UGH! As soon as Emmeline gets back from class, we're leaving. The coach hasn't shown up, and why continue to do the same things here that you do at home?
When we got there, it was inexplicably the morning of the same day, and Etienne outed himself again as a nice Sim.
Well, one good thing came from that outing: Chelsea now hates Emmeline enough to rid us of a few newspapers. Oh no, but now I thought of a bad thing to counteract the good thing: Chelsea will be kicking over the trash all the time.
Problem solved.
Disrespect to the dead notwithstanding.
Mr. Penguin: Just don't accept any hot tomato soup.
Cici made her contribution to Mr. Penguin's friend club.
Etienne: Look at me I'm dying of hungravation!
I know you know how to make chocolate pudding.
Etienne: How can I sleep when I'm so tragically hungry? :(
Can you survive until Cici comes back from her finals which she hasn't even left for yet? X) If he's lucky, Emmeline will make something before he dies.
Look, dumbbell! Chocolate pudding that you forgot how to make! Crisis averted!
Halfway through college!
NO CICI DON'T LEAVE THE CAGE DOOR OPEN
Okay, that's it for Cici's sophomore year. Etienne and Emmeline will finish theirs in the next update, and the thrilling three will proceed to junior year...and another husband. They won't share said husband, though, LOL! Will Cici ensnare the mean and creepy coach? Find out next time!
