I am obviously a glutton for punishment. Asylum challenge ahoy!
So! This is what, round 4 or 5 of my struggle with my Death Note sims? I'm determined to see this one through to the end, but just in case I get stuck with a severe case of fail, I won't post these to the comms until I finish all parts -.- You read right, however: This is now an Asylum challenge, because we all know that I'm a more reliable poster when I have a challenge to complete. I'd had the idea to do an Asylum for a while, and then I saw that shadowfang3000 was doing a similar challenge with some Death Note sims, and I've decided to create a bandwagon so I can hop on it.
Warnings: A loooot of language, 109 pictures, crack pairings courtesy of ACR.
So! A quick intro. This is our lovely abode, a small house with lots of windows and bright colours. What our sims don't know is that, despite all appearances, everything in that house has been placed there with 100% malignant intent. As you can see, there are eight sims in total, as per challenge rules (I used the ones listed in this page, if anyone wants to take a look at the whole thing. I'll explain the necessary bits as I go along, though). Currently present we have Raito, L, Misa, Mikami, Near, Matt, and Mello. I am not allowed to give them commands, look at their Needs bars, their Wants and Fears, their Lifetime Want, or their Aspiration Bar.
This is the only sim I'm allowed to control. I ran out of Death Note characters, so I took one of my favourite sims and decided to use him. Some of you might recognize him from my other sim posts - his name is Coconut.
And the only way to beat this Asylum challenge is to help him fulfill his Lifetime Want, which in this case means getting him to the top of the Athletic career.
(At this point I sighed in relief, because I was worried that he would get something ridiculous like Have 20 Best Friends)
I am sticking to the original rules of the challenge for the most part, but I've made some exceptions: First, I did not randomize the sims' personalities or aspiration, and second, I am using the Autonomous Casual Romance hack, which allows them to initiate all of the romantic interactions on their own, as seen here.
Also, everyone is bisexual.
Matt: Dude, thanks. You've got good taste if you like me.
Raito: Oh, I know. You look somewhat like me, so it's only to be expected.
Coconut: Truly I look forward to living together with all these people. They look like a wonderful bunch :D
L: OHMYGODWHATISTHATOVERTHERE???
L: I could be flirting with him, since I do find him attractive, but why do that when I can bash his face in with a water balloon? >:D
Meanwhile, Mello and Mikami bond through the wonderful of experience of physical violence.
Misa: You are ADORABLE! *Heart heart heart*
Near: I disapprove of this situation *MINUS*
And now, for a quick tour of the house, along with a few more challenge rules:
In this challenge, you can only have one piece of electronic entertainment, and I decided that it should be the TV because that way I can get my non-controllables to gain some cooking points. The couch serves two functions: We're only allowed a maximum of six seating spaces and one nap-able piece of furniture. The couch can be napped on, but it takes up three of the six seating spots.
Here, we have the piano (to raise Creativity), the bookcase (to raise Mechanical, Cleaning and Cooking), and the chess board (to raise Logic). The chess board unfortunately requires the use of a chair, so there goes the fourth seating spot.
The kitchen comes fully stocked... but cannot have a fire alarm or sprinklers.
This was going to be the dining room... but because I only have two seating spots left, it kind of became the dining nook, and now consists of mostly empty space >.>
Here's the bedroom, which, as you can see, is purposefully lacking a few beds. If nothing else, this should give you an idea of where this challenge is going :P
And here's the washroom. How about it: Eight sims, one toilet. This is definitely going to end well, don't you think? (There's also a sink on the opposite wall, though you can't see it in this picture).
With only $100 left in our savings, Coconut gets a job. The Athletic career didn't pop up, so for now I've stuck him in the Adventurer career.
And things are off to a wonderful start already, with me having to take care of the food that Mikami left unattended in the oven 8|
Raito: WHOOO! L, isn't this water balloon fight FUN?? 8D
L: Yes, it i--OH, BALLS! DX
Dude, don't be hatin' on my kitchen.
L: IT'S HIDEOUS D:<
L: Dum dee dum dee dum...
AHFAKSLHFAKSJHF DO NOT LEAVE THE OVEN UNATTENDED!! D8<
Thank you.
L: So! This is a very nice house we just moved into, don't you think?
Mikami: ... Nice? Nice? L, there's only enough space for five to sleep in the bedroom, and we have to share one bathroom between the EIGHT of us! I call shenanigans! 8\
I am so thankful for the "Ask to join" command. Mikami and L can now be educated in the wonders of cooking safety thanks to the TV -_-
Outside, these three have apparently bonded o_O
Misa: Near, you are the cutest thing EVER! X3
Near: ...
Near: This is my overall sentiment!
Misa: AAAAGH! DO YOU KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE THIS DRESS WAS?? D8
But Misa is nothing if not persistent.
Raito: YOU WOULD LOOK TERRIBLE IN HEELS! D:<
Matt: Oh, I agree :)
Raito: YOU WON'T CHANGE MY-- Oh.
Raito: Well, in that case :D
... WOW, that was fast, even for ACR o_o
This new development cannot possibly end well, though, because Raito is constantly hitting on Matt :|
... So use the washroom?
Matt is entirely too popular in this house. I give his relationship with Mello a day.
Speaking of relationships, apparently Misa's efforts haven't been entirely in vain o_O
Near: Call me, baby girl ;))))
YOU LIVE IN THE SAME HOUSE -__-
Raito: OMFG, MAKE MISA HURRY UP IN THERE, I NEED TO PISS! D<
Mello: We have plants?? Why didn't anyone inform me of this??
Near: Misa, I've been thinking... I think you're very beautiful. Would you like to go out with me?
Misa: *Swoon*
Matt: Aw, romance :D
Raito: Fuck that shit, move, people!
Matt: YOINK! 'Scuse me just a sec.
Raito: BUT I WAS HERE FIRST
These two claim the dining nook and have a romantic dinner date. I can't decide if I'm extremely amused or completely horrified by this turn of events.
L: Oooh, a piano! I shall serenade them with a romantic ballad! *PLINK* *PLANK* *PLUNK*
Me: *Sets the computer to Mute* -.-
Mello: EXCUSE ME, MY BOYFRIEND IS HITTING ON MY ROOMMATE AND I'M HUNGRY. WHY ISN'T SOMETHING BEING DONE??
Raito: WANT FOOD D8<
Matt: WHY ARE THOSE SANDWICHES NOT TELEPORTING TO MY MOUTH?!
Finally, omg.
Raito: Yoink! I have claimed the last sandwich >:) Clearly this is a dastardly action befitting my evil genius character.
Misa: WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE STOVE WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY OF US?? >8|
[Two minutes later]
Raito: Hey Misa, the stove's free again - weren't you going to cook something?
Misa: Eh, screw it *CHUGS*
Matt: HAY SWEET CHEEKS, HOW'S IT HANGIN'
Mello: Deep breaths, Mello. Food first, then jealous rage.
Oh, a serving platter! Well thank you, Mello :)
Now everyone can eat in peace. I'm honestly surprised they get along so well - I half-expected them to be at each other's throats already.
Midnight was approaching, so I made Coconut claim a bed for the night, since he does have to work in the morning. I look forward to seeing who's stuck without a place to sleep tonight.
Mikami quickly catches on and takes bed #2.
And... Misa and Near claim the big bed?? How is their relationship already high enough for this?
And cuddles? They're practically married already! o_O
DING DING DING! We are out of beds for the night, ladies and gents.
L makes the best of it and spends the night on the couch.
Raito: What? No more beds? WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS?? D8<
Presenting Night 1's losers of the Musical Beds game.
Raito + Matt: *FACEPALM*
Matt: Dude, what are we going to do now?
Raito: MEH. My sexyness will keep me awake.
Raito: You gotta admit, I'm a fine piece of ass.
Matt: You know it, baby. Call me ;)))
You two ALSO live in the same house. Cut it out -_-
Raito: Matt, babe, Mello totally stinks. You should ditch him and be with me ;D
(Mello quite literally stinks, but I, too, would forgo a shower if there was only one bed left)
Raito: Must... stay... awakZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Matt: THIS IS NOT THE COMFORTABLE RETREAT I WAS PROMISED ON THE BROCHURE D8<
After watching Matt complain for several sim hours, I took pity on him and got Coconut out of bed at around 4am so he could get some sleep.
Meanwhile, I was unable to get a good screenshot of it, but L spent the entire night plagued by nightmares :/
In order to avoid people dying on me while Coconut was at work, I made him serve some cereal for the house. I don't trust these guys to be able to cook for themselves without setting the house on fire ._.
Raito: *SNORE*
Near: ... Did I miss something? :|
Misa: Oh my gosh, is he okay??
Eh, he'll live.
... I hope >_>
Misa: Good morning, snookums! *Kiss*
Near: Good morning, darling *Smooch*
I think I just sprouted about fifty new cavities :|
Hoo boy, there goes Coconut. Let's all cross our fingers and hope no major catastrophes happen while he's away.
Mikami: BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Wtf happened to you, Raito??
Mello: LMFAO! This shit is better than TV!
Raito: You will pay for that D:<
... As long as you don't have a piece of a Death Note somewhere in there, you may carry on >.>
AGH. I was waiting for this to start happening DX
(He's wearing underwear. I promise)
Raito: I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, I AM A GOD AMONG MEN even if i do smell like urine
Raito: Check me out! I'm being helpful and getting the bills! ^_^
Yes, but there are far more important things you should be doing, such as a) Showering, b) Eating, and c) Sleeping. Get your ass in gear!
Thanks, L! Now no one has to cook!
(What is it with these guys and choosing to run around in their underoos? As far as I know, Near and L are shy enough that they should definitely NOT be running around mostly naked!)
Raito: Check it out, I'm eating! How's that for self-sufficience?
-_- Yes, Raito, very good.
Raito: Now that I have eaten, I can really concentrate on the beauty of my reflection!
L: If you want more sandwiches, there's still a few left, so feel free to grab them :)
Truly, L is a godsend.
Raito: Oh, I agree, but for an entirely different reason >:)
Mikami: AAAAHHHHH!! MY EYES, THEY BUUURN!! D8 D8 D8
What?
OH, I see. Uh, carry on, then.
Matt: That was wonderful :)
Mello: I know. I especially liked the part where we scarred Mikami for life 8D
Raito's stint as a standing sleeper is the talk of the house. We all know, however, that sooner or later everyone is going to end up sleeping in awkward places, so the joke's on them, really.
Coconut returns and everyone is still alive! He also got a promotion on his first day (because he's just that awesome), meaning that we can pay the bills and have some money left over. Life is good :D
Mello: *Sniff* *sniff* Hey, do you guys smell something burning?
Everyone else: D8
THANK GOD this happened after Coconut got back from work! O_O
Did you not hear the firewoman? STEP AWAY FROM THE FLAMES, PEOPLE!
Matt: OMG WHAT'S GOING ON??
Everyone: FIRE!!! D8
Coconut: [In the background] Well, the fire department will be here soon. Care to help me with this crossword?
L: [Practicing scales on the piano] Sure. What's the first hint?
Help arrived before anything was damaged, thankfully.
Near: WhOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO! I SEE PRETTY COLOURS! 8D
Near: PFFFFTHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FIRE! FIREEEEEEE!! 8D 8D 8D
Mikami: Holy crap.
Matt: You said it :/
Misa: My significant other is in the proces of having a mental breakdown! Teeheehee! Let's have a girly pillow fight! ^___^
You're not allowed to cook ever again, Mello -_-
Matt: Agh, I burned my dinner!
Coconut: You better take care of that, because I'm not calling the fire department twice in one night :|
By the way, Near was not the only one traumatized by that fire.
Mikami: Please give me money! Donate to the "Help Mikami Escape this Hellhole Fund"!
Mikami: PLEASE!! You can't expect me to continue LIVING here, right?? This is for a good cause! Please donate some of your spare change!! HEEEEEELP!!! DDD8
... Sorry, Mikami. In an Asylum challenge, no one can hear you scream.
Stats:
Days: 2
Pass-outs: 1
Self-wettings: 1
Mental breakdowns: 1
Fires: 1
(Keeping track of these stats isn't really necessary for the challenge, but it's always fun to see how much your sims fail at life in numerical values :P)
I hope you enjoyed it! If you need me, I'll be working on part 2. Hopefully I'll have that posted later tonight.
