MacPhearson Randomcy. Gen 1.1
Last time we met Andrew MacPhearson and his twin sister Amelia, our founders for this random legacy. After Andrew blew all their savings on a large plot of land, there wasn't much left over for anything else. Amelia was not impressed. And now, on to the next part in their saga.
So, this is Andrew. If you'll remember he is a socially awkward, excitable loser, who just happens to be a natural cook and a mooch. He dreams of being a Chess Legend, and will be joining the Political Career. Definitely a winning combination of traits, if you define winning by HORRIBLY DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH. As this is a Random Legacy, everything is determined by the roll of the dice, and for a family structure Gen 1 rolled '2 Kids, Single With Help', which means Andrew will be a single father but at least he'll get some help.
Which brings us to his twin sister, Amelia. Amelia is an over-emotional, mean spirited and athletic Sim, who believes herself to be irresistible. She's also something of a vehicle enthusiast. She wants to be a Superstar Athlete, which is handy since her income will come from the athlete career. Sometimes the dice are fortunate.
And finally, the cat Aspen. (Can you tell I'm going with a theme for naming each generation?) Aspen is clueless but aggressive and very proud. The pet goal for this generation is Explorer, so Aspen will be having several mega adventures during her life. And thus concludes the boring recap portion of our evening.
Remember when I said Andrew had blown all their money on a large tract of land with nothing left over for anything else? Well, I was fibbing just a bit. They had enough for a hamper (as per legacy rules). Yippee!
Aw, look! Aspen and Amelia are bonding.
.....or not so much.
Amelia: WTF ARE YOU DOING?
Aspen: Your clothing choices offend me, peasant.
Amelia: Andrew, I swear to god if you don't do something about that fucking cat, I will. And it will include a one-way trip to the vet's office!
Andrew: ummmm......
Amelia: And then I'll kick your ass.
Andrew: Hey now....oh hey look over there!
Andrew, in a rare burst of intelligence, ran away.
Amelia: #brothers #so annoyed #fucking cats
Meanwhile, Andrew spots something--or someone--that catches his eye.
That someone is Jami Dewey, of Aurora Skies. Sadly, she was going home so Andrew couldn't talk to her. :( I will say that Aurora Skies has some of the prettiest EA made Sims of any EP so far. It's a good thing I decided against an Uglyacy.
So Andrew continued on his way to town. The first place he passed was the consignment shop, and since Andrew is always looking for a good bargain (or something he can mooch from someone), we decided to stop in. Hopefully there will be some people there to stalk meet.
Okay, not too mad. This is Samar Zahn, proprietor of the consignment shop. He's really working that beard, so we can forgive the Nice Guy Beret he's sporting.
Andrew: Dude, nice beard! Facials, amirte?
Samar: I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Andrew: omg i'm so embarrassed! This is worse than the time I accidentally asked my boss if he was into bestiality.
Samar: ..............
Andrew: Or that time I threw up on the mailman when he asked to look at my package.
Samar: Dude, seriously. Just stop.
Andrew: So look, I'm new in town. Think you could spot me a few kachings to get me through until I find a job?
Samar: Are you for fucking real?
Andrew: I'm just as real as you and your eyebrows! :(
Andrew: .....how 'bout dem pussies?
Samar: jfc just get out. I have a business to run.
Andrew: .....so, I can count on your vote right?
Samar: JUST GET OUT!
Meanwhile......
Back at the homestead, Amelia receives an interesting visitor. That llama head is seriously creeptastic. Chris Colfer would approve.
Llama: This head is a real killer in this mascot uniform.
Amelia: Hope it pays well
Llama: Yeah, not so much.
After being kicked out of the consignment shop, Andrew heads down to the park hoping to meet potential baby daddies/mommies some more residents. Seems like a happenin' place.
Andrew was immediately taken with Gundrun Beaker. I wish I'd captured the shot before this, because I still don't know what he said to her to get that look. Things look like they're going well (ALSO YOUR FACE IS SO CUTE GUNDRUN!)
Andrew: The color blue, amirite?
Gundrun: It's no color yellow!
Andrew: That doesn't make any sense.
Gundrun: Your face doesn't make any sense.
*crickets*
Gundrun: ....so how 'bout that weather. It's super hot today!
Andrew: Maybe if you weren't wearing a poufy vest you wouldn't be so hot.
Andrew: You know, there's this thing called the internet. There are shops on there, and you can get appropriate clothing for real cheap!
Gundrun: You don't get out much, do you?
And then Gundrun's husband Bjorn showed up, and I cried a little inside they left. That was probably a good thing, because despite Andrew's awkwardness they managed to get a few positive relationship points, so at least he's on his way to having a friend if not an egg donor.
Andrew mooched some cereal from somewhere, and took himself off to a bench to eat, and contemplate his day. All in all, he's pretty satisfied.
Back at the ranch, the llama is being super creepy. Seriously, stuff nightmares are made of. Run Amelia, run!
MTE, Amelia. MTE.
Maybe it's some sort of weird llama mating ritual?
Oh nope. They were just playing tag. Crisis averted.
Andrew has met someone new! Magdalena Charles, Paparazzi. I didn't have the heart to tell him that making friends (and lovers) out of Paparazzi is pretty much impossible. Also, she's so cute! I decided to hope for the best.
Andrew: Did you hear about you know who and the you know what?
Magdalena: Yes! I heard they had a thing with the other thing.
Both: lol!!!!
Having bid farewell to the Llama Monster Mascot, Amelia headed out to find some grub.
Me: Sure you don't want to make some friends on the way?
Amelia: No time for friends, time for food!
Amelia has her priorities straight.
And her morals...not so straight.
Amelia: Give me some damn candy you fucking piece of shit!
Amelia: That's right you sunnavabitch, bow down to your master.
Amelia: I've made a terrible mistake. And I think ghosts are involved somehow. It's always ghosts.
On the next MacPhearson Randomcy:
The MacPhearson homestead gets a renovation.
We catch up with Aspen on her first adventure.
Amelia finds some grub.
And Andrew takes a chance on love.
