Warning: The following Legacy has been known to cause laryngitis, bronchitis, & other forms of *itis.
Last update: Marian Hawke moved to Isla Paradiso to get away from her hometown which she burned down after a massive fire. With only her cat, Cid, and barely a penny to her name, Hawke managed to get herself a part time job at the bookstore and start saving money so she could live her dream of being an alchemist. It's the day of the summer festival where we continue our Legacy.
Hawke: Hi, I'm Hawke. I'm new to the town.
Doug: Whoa, being that cute has got to be criminal.
Doug: Hey. Name's Doug. Where are you from?
Hawke: Erm... Dormtown.
Doug: I heard about that place. Something about a napalm storage warehouse blowing up? Sorry to hear.
Doug: So what made you decide to move here instead of somewhere else?
Hawke: Oh, you know... The ocean and the sea life. And I just figured it'd be good to get away >_>
It only took a few minutes for Hawke to convince Doug to take part in the hotdog eating contest.
The fact that she was starving had everything nothing to do with this decision.
Hawke: You're falling behind, Doug!
Doug: Mff fmmifff!
Their afternoon ended with a water baloon fight to cool off.
Well, that and I decided he dresses a bit like a douche, so I wanted to hit him for it.
Back at home, Hawke finally saved up enough to buy a new alchemy station.
Though she was really low on supplies, so she went fishing in order to stock up and start making potions.
This was where she caught the biggest toad in freaking history and brushed it off.
Hawke: Yeah, that's not bad.
Hawke: Hey boss, how's things?... Yeah about me working tonight; I've decided to become a self-employed alchemist... I am serious.
Hawke: What the fuck do you mean, I won't get a discount there anymore? Fine. I don't want to come into your crummy store anyways. PS: Twilight does not belong in the fantasy section!
Bam! Self-employment, here we come!
Hawke: Hey, Doug. I'm downtown right now. Want to go see a movie? I'm celebrating being my own boss.
Hawke: - and the bitch was like "Fine. You don't get a discount at this store any more!"
Doug: Um... Wouldn't that be the employee discount? And you're not an employee, so...
Hawke: Whatever. She didn't even know how to organize things correctly. The Hobbit is not a children's book.
Doug: Speaking of a movie; We should go see what's playing.
Hawke took Doug to a chick flick :|
And he enjoyed it.
Doug likes Hawke so much he gave her flowers through a pane of glass
Now that is affection.
Doug: We should do this again some time. I had a good time.
Hawke: Me, too.
Doug: So.. Uh... Talk to you later then?
POW! First base.
Hawke: Hey, Cid, how was your day.
Cid: Damn this infernal ball and it's bell!
Cid: Servant? You are in my bed.
Hawke: Ok, time to get this show on the road!
Hawke: Perfect! Nothing like some bottled happiness. Time to go sell this stuff.
One quick trip to the consignment store which just happens to be located next door.
Minnie: Welcome to Aleister's Elixirs and Sundries. No, we do not sell any type of panacea, Philosopher Stones, or Universal Solvents; and no, the painting of Maria the Jewess is not for sale.
Hawke: Actually, I'm here to sell. I'm an alchemist.
Minnie: Pull the other one. It's got bells on it :|
Promotion from selling enough potions!
How does one manage to get a promotion when they're self-employed?
Hawke: So... Yeah this is my place. I know it's kind of a shack.
Doug: I think it's awesome. You're building this place up from nothing, and you have your own job.
Doug: How about if I move in. I mean, we're serious and all, right? I can sell my place, and we can do more here.
Hawke: I couldn't ask that of you.
Doug: You're not asking. I'm offering.
One move in and a bunch of renovations later...
Hawke: So, I know you have to go to work soon, but I have an idea to pass the time.
Go a head, Doug. Try to say "No" to that.
New bed = broken in
Meanwhile, Cid has been busy dinning on more exotic food.
Hawke: Instant waffles? Should be easy. Directions on the box are simple enough.
Hawke: Are they supposed to look like that? It hasn't been 15 minutes yet. Or has it? The oven's set right, I think. 350 degrees. Wait... Is that fahrenheit or celsius?
Hawke: Fucking E-Z-Make Waffles, my ass! These are burned to a crisp and I'm starving!
Cid: Heeeeeeerrrrre fishy, fishy, fishyyyy
This is the first time since Pets came out that I have had a cat try to catch a fish.
Cid: Who's got two paws, and a delicious meal? This cat!
Hawke: Who's got a lovely coat? You do, Cid! Yes, you do! Unlike someone in this house, your hair looks good.
Doug: I get the feeling you're hinting at something.
Cid: She thinks you look like a douche, man.
Much better!
He's in the criminal career path, currently a thug.
Yay for being a hired goon!
Damn it. Forgot to change him for his job. I'll have to remember to do that later.
Meanwhile, Hawke's alchemy is coming along well.
Still, need to work on her Life Time Want of using 50 elixirs.
Forget Doug, I want to read that book lol
early morning fishing in your underwear.
Keep it classy, Hawke.
Hawke: Man, the hook I was using is bigger than this thing.
Hawke: I got a fish for you, Cid! You're going to love it.
Cid: Put. Me. Down.
Cid:Ugh. Human germs.
Hawke: I heard there was a gem heist last night. Was that you? The news says a lot of people were shot!
Doug: That had nothing to do with us. They were from out of town. It was unprofessional and sloppy. They even used stupid code names.
Hawke: Code names?
Doug: Yeah, like "Mister Brown", and "Mister Pink". Who the fuck would want to be Mister Pink?
Hawke: Just hold still.
Doug: Do you even know what that does?
Hawke: It's cool, trust me!
Doug: This is... Kind of awesome!
Doug: I'm going to go clean the house. And balance our checkbooks. Have you done your taxes yet? I can do them for you!
Hawke: I figured we'd go out on a date. We haven't been out because of you working nights.
First trip: The local school / stadium to catch a game
Which turned out to be awesome.
As a side note, I think that's the first time I've ever had a sim go to a game at the stadium.
Hawke: Hurry! We'll miss the start of the movie!
Doug: Wait, are you sure you want me to pick this one?
Hawke: Yes! Now hurry up!
Back at home...
Cid: I see you, Rodent. You think you can sneak into my territory, do you? Foolish little rodent.
Cid: Stand still! You're just making this worse for yourself!
Cid: Ow!!! Hey! Not the tail! Not! The! Tail!
Doug loved the movie. Hawke, on the other hand hates bromances, it seems.
Doug: I don't get how you couldn't like it.
Hawke: It was a sausage fest.
Doug: And?
Hawke: It's ok, I still had a good time. The movie just sucked.
Doug: So what's next?
Hawke: You take me home ;)
Hawke: Should we go upstairs? The couch is right over there.
Doug: I thought we'd grab a bit to eat first...
Hawke: Really? You're going to make me wait?
Fact: usage of puppy-dog eyes are considered unfair play.
Doug: Hey, Cid, what's up?
Cid: Oh god. I'm getting out of here.
Cid: There are some things a cat should never, ever, have to see. Damn me not having thumbs to grab a bucket of water for those two!
Dude is totally wearing a smirk that says "Aw yeah, I wore her out!"
Doug: Hey, buddy! What's wrong?
Cid: I am never sleeping in that bed again.
Doug: Cid, you looked annoyed. You ok?
Cid: Ok? Do I look ok? Because of you, I'm now sleeping on the couch! And dear gods, man, go for a shower!
End of update
Thanks for reading all!
Next update: Hawke & Doug spend the fall holiday at the festival, Hawke becomes pregnant, and Cid has a close encounter of the Third kind.
