Strangetown: Nice to Meet You

[strange_tomato]

With my chapter of The Round Robin Legacy looming, I thought it would be best to jump ahead slightly and reveal a story detail before that legacy entry gives it away in a less ceremonious way. I wouldn't want to completely blow my wink and nudge moment. So, without saying anything more...

*snerk* The last pic with the random guy doing "you're hot" finger is rich.

And I'm so using "tit munch" the next time my wife gives me shit. (or maybe just because)

*edit* you-apostrophe-re, yeah, that's right. . .

I know. I thought, for a second, that it was just too silly (more like outtakes material), but I went with the goofy and slapstick. I've been feeling the cartoon thing a lot lately.

Jaxy's gesture was autonomous too. Literally everyone in that restaurant was either gushing hearts over Helena or Ripp. It was really funny. All three bandmates think Helena is a fine piece of sim meat, and I had to nip a couple of ACR actions in the bud, since there's a photo booth on the lot. That's how Simgaroop's Helena and Ripp got together too, and they do have that sort of "sex on first date - 5 minutes after meeting the person" chemistry.

Tit-munch is pure gold. I love it. I hadn't even thought of that word in ages, and then it just came forth from Jaxy's mouth. I was pleased.

LOL tit munch. XD I so need to use that with my hubby sometime as well!

I love how Ripp is feeling so confused. Whereas before admitting to himself he's in love with Phi, he'd have been all over Helena like flies on poo. Now he's not wanting that temptation! Aw, poor Ripp, lol!

[strange_tomato]

You really should. How can you NOT laugh at calling someone a tit-munch? *snicker*

Yes, the tables have turned on Ripp. Just when he least wants that temptation, it's right there in front of his nose. It's like he's being tested.

Awesome! I'd remembered that you were putting Helena in this, but somehow I never made the connection that you were going to play with her relationship with Ripp, and I'd never guessed she'd be the new drummer. I love it, though! Now I'm even more excited to see this story get updated.

[strange_tomato]

I was wondering if anyone would pick up on it. I think it might have become a little more obvious if I had let it play out normally, because I had maybe a couple of little hints about it to reveal before this happens, but oh well.

I do like the idea of playing off her other story in The Broke Legacy. I think my Helena is a little wilder, though, what with all the random and constant cheering she does. I think that's actually caused by the lot she's on, somehow, but it's such a funny little detail to have presented to me. How can I not use it?

An update you say? Well, it just might be your lucky day (or night). ;)

[leskuh]

Lol, oh Ripp. This whole monogamy thing is gonna be a little harder than he thought, eh?

And she's half alien! Oh, the poor thing - Helena must seem so tempting. Hope he manages to keep his wits about him.

:3

[strange_tomato]

Did you ever think it would be easy? ;) As much as his heart belongs to Phi, his loins continue to want to roam, wild and free. Old habits are hard to break, so efforts must be made.

Yes, that's an extra layer of trouble, I think. *nods* I wonder why? *snicker*

I love your new icon! :D That drawing makes a great icon.

[leskuh]

I've actually been waiting for something like this to crop up. I mean, he was bound to run into an attractive female/bed buddy eventually. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does fighting against his own nature. *crosses fingers for him*

Haha, I've always wondered what brought on his obsession with alien features. Is it because of Johnny or just something inside of him that finds them attractive? Because he's brought it up during that whole kiss with Jill and even Jaxy has picked up on the fact that he's got it bad for aliens.

I put up a couple new icons. I get bored of seeing the same ones over and over again. Jill's now my default. And I got a few other fun ones up. :D

[strange_tomato]

Well, you know how he feels about Phi. He isn't going to want to hurt her, and there are also other complexities in their situation at this point. That doesn't mean he won't sometimes want to stray and do what he does best. If he keeps his wits about him, he'll probably be fine, but he's also known for letting those go at times, so it will be a challenge.

Ripp has always been fascinated by Johnny's green skin (and intrigued by just HOW green he was, whether everything was green, etc.), and that comes through in his dialogue and thought processes all the time. I think it's partly the strangeness of it, and maybe he latched on to that attraction because of his father too... because it was so forbidden. Jaxy has her own theories about it, but I'll wait so you can hear them firsthand. ;)

I'll go take a look. I should make some more icons one of these days too. I have more spaces that I'm not using.

Jill is a good choice for a default icon. :D

[muslemura]

I feel like I've met you somewhere before

I was snickering all the way through this. Wee! Meta fun! I said I loved J/R banter but Ripp/Jaxy banter is no less fun :)

This was great :D *LOL*

[muslemura]

Also, so much fin seeing Ripp struggling with this whole 'monogamy thingy' XD

[strange_tomato]

Isn't it? It would be so boring (and unrealistic) if a switch was flipped and he suddenly wasn't attracted to other sims. For someone who's generally interested in anything he can get (and lots of it), monogamy is perhaps the ultimate challenge.

[muslemura]

Also, I like their post-graduation makeovers. Took me awhile to figure out what was different about them :D And ohmigod what has happened? One possibility jumps out, but there are others and even more scary/sad possibilities too...
