Still Human 36: Ring-around-the-llama
Still Human Table of Contents / Originally posted at Neighborhood 99 on 18 May 2012
Yesterday, George proposed to Thomas at Lucky Shrine Park. Their luck ran out when they got back to the hotel, however: the authorities caught up with them for desecrating the zen garden. They were put on the first flight back to Challenge.
Their best friends, Melissa Fancey and Amelia Penn, have agreed to be their attendants at the ceremony. This morning, they all meet up at the bridal boutique to select their wedding clothes.
There's a lot going on in this picture, and it's all autonomous: Melissa greets Thomas with a hug while Amelia jealously “squishes” his head. Behind them, George is striding around, setting the pace for what he hopes will be a speedy shopping trip.

It's hard to know what to wear to the wedding of the man you secretly admire. Amelia puts a brave face on it. She shields her gaze from the happy couple while she browses the racks.

When they get home, Thomas rolls the want to win a gaming contest. While George studies mechanics, Thomas goes to Games of Glory.

The ring leads him, and he follows.

Thomas has arrived just in time for a match. Daniel and Shaun are ready to go nose-to-nose.
Nobody wants to play on the computers, so Thomas sits down to a game of Don't Wake Up the Llama with Daniel Shreiber, Shaun Mellon, and Serdar Custer.
“Guide my hand, ring!” he prays.

Waking the llama. Serious business.
Success! The ring steadies Thom's hand, and Shaun ends up losing the game.
Meanwhile, Makoto Travers is like, “Where did everybody go?”
Thomas spends the rest of the afternoon tending the garden while George continues to study. He earns a membership card to Will's Garage. The card is delivered by a hobby Sim who has no trouble letting himself into the house. Lock-picking must be one of the skills you pick up at the Garage.

In the evening, George and Thomas go to the local event hall to celebrate their Best of 2011 award (Most Romantic Autonomous Love Scene), or “Sally.”
Why “Sally”? The acronym for my blog, Sim-A-Long, is SAL, hence the nickname. :)
As the winners gather, an uninvited guest slips in with them. He thinks I won't recognize him if he hides his face, but I know who it is. There's no mistaking Count Leonid Rauscher.
He and Jeremy Byron (Best Plot Twist) have so much fun, together, that I'm soon glad he crashed the party.

Now, don't start, Mary. Vampires and vampire-bullies have to get along, tonight.
That's better. Mary Lamb (Sim of the Year) auto-greets my vampire-in-waiting with a big hug.

Thom also wants to auto-greet Ash Wong (Most Relentless Stalker). He's pretty put out that Ash is ignoring him, but really, that shouldn't surprize him, by now.
Another blonde gets Ash's attention quickly enough. Here he is checking out Fury Hansov (Most Luxuriant Blonde Hair). Or at least, checking out part of Fury. I can't tell which one is more shameless: Ash for looking, or Fury for letting him.

And before the evening is over, I discover why Jeremy doesn't want to bite George. He's become a vegetarian!
