Chapter 12
Watcher: “Working hard or hardly working? Heh.”
Amelia: “It’s all I do these days, Watcher. Write write write. I’m drawing up blank.”
Watcher: “Ah,
Writer’s Block. Let’s get you working on your aspiration for a while then. We could all use a change of scenery, too.”
Talia: “Can I come along, too, Watcher? I’m bored out of my gourd. Literally. Gardening is so monotonous.”
Watcher: “Sure, let’s all head to Granite Falls for a weekend getaway. And, ah, happy birthday. Sorry I missed another one. I thought I was on a roll.”
Watcher: “Ok you two, a
quick nap, then get busy.”
Amelia and Sam: “ZZZZZZzzzzz”
Adeline: “AAAH, I don’t know what’s worse, the flying blood suckers or this fishy “dessert”.”
Watcher: “Well, that plate of glowing food is what keeps you living, dear. Use all those extra years of life to build up your herbalism skill and make some bug repellant.”
Adeline: “Hmmm. Maybe.”
Moses: “Hmmm, there’s something about this glowing, purple man I do not like.”
Watcher: “Dude, you have spent hours, days, years of your life trying to contact sims like him. Go say hello!”
Moses: “If you are insinuating that this guy is an alien, I am going to have to disagree. The government has assured us repeatedly that there is no such thing. Remember, I’m a scientist. We only believe in what we can see.”
Watcher: “I know you’re enjoying this aspiration sweetie, but you have to seal the deal. Make him a boyfriend, give him a kiss…”
Amelia: *ignores* *looks deep into eyes*
The next morning…
Watcher: “Awww, I’m sorry that one of the many random dudes you flirted with yesterday just flirted with someone else right in front of you. You’ll survive.”
Amelia: “No, I’ll never love another like I love…
him…”
Watcher: “Come on, let’s meet some new people. That always cheers you up.”
Watcher: “I’m glad you met the hermit, Ame, but you really didn’t have to greet her ‘enchantingly’, did you?” *shudders*
Amelia: “Her name is Melinda. She’s the love of my life, Watcher.”
Watcher: “No, no she is not. But since you started this, just make her your girlfriend and let’s get some fishing in.”
Samuel: “Look Watcher! I got an angelfish, just like you always want!”
Watcher: *sighs* “Good job, Sam. Start catching, Amelia. I’m excited to go home and go to work with your dad. I have some things I want him to see.”
Later that night…
Watcher: “Uh,
what’s going on??”
Amelia: “Maybe there will be some cute aliens up here! See ya in a while, Watcher!”
Moses: “What’s in here, Watcher?”
Watcher: “Not sure, never had a sim max his handiness skill before and be able to get in. Let’s explore, so I can take my mind off your daughter doing who knows what with aliens.”
Moses: “Don’t be silly, Watcher. I didn’t see it happen, therefore, you must have imagined it. No such things as aliens, remember?”
Watcher: “Thanks for coming down Sam! There’s lots to collect here, Moses, pretty cool looking, too.”
Samuel: “I love this place! I only have three more types of fish to catch, maybe I can find them here.”
Watcher: “Don’t hold your breath, I’m pretty sure that aspiration is just glitching on you, you have one of every kind already in your inventory. But your time left is pretty short, Sam, so fish til your heart is content.”
Watcher: “Wow, you’re looking a little more uh,
confident than I expected upon your return.”
Amelia: “The things I know now, Watcher, the things I know... Nothing can intimidate me now. Let’s go meet some new sims, shall we?”
Amelia: “Found one!”
Watcher: “Ok, you get to know him, I’m heading to work with your dad.”
Moses: “Hellooo in there!”
Watcher: “OOOH, I think it’s working this time!”
Moses: “Hold on, Watcher, here we
goooooo!”
Watcher: “Wow. It is absolutely beautiful here."
Moses: “I feel so,
philosophical. Makes me rethink all the time I spent hating things I didn’t know or understand.”
Watcher: “Wow. Deep.”
Moses: *in high, piercing voice* “AH! It’s one of
them! What do I do, what do I
do?”
Watcher: “I don’t know!! Look at him, though. He looks harmless enough. Just treat him like you do any other sim, I guess.”
Watcher: “Wait. Why is he nekkid?”
Moses: “Heh.”
Moses: *dumbstruck* “So. Many.
Aliens.”
Watcher: “Oh my. There’s a whole
colony of them here! They’re having a
sim party? How cool. What do you have to say now, my brilliant yet dimwitted sim?”
Moses: *mumbles* “You were right, and I was wrong.”
Watcher: “Say again?”
Moses: *sighs* “Ok ok ok! You are the greatest sim goddess in the simverse. You are all knowing, omnipotent, and beautiful.”
Watcher: *blushes* “Awww, thanks for throwing that last one in there. I do what I can, you have no idea how much harder it is for a human to keep herself up…anyway…”
Watcher: “What are you
doing?!”
Moses: “I don’t know! I’m supposed to
dance with them,
joke with them, and use the Sim Ray on them. For work.”
Watcher: “Well, that sounds silly to me. I don’t want you making any enemies. Let’s wrap it up and head home. I’ve seen enough for today, we’ll go check on Amelia, see what her body boyfriend count is up to.”
**Authors note** I have finally caught up to where I'm at, play wise, which is nice. I appreciate all the comments, even if my tablet often eats my responses! I blame that more on my own ineptitude than the tablets. Also, my game glitched repeatedly during a sims demise, it just kept shutting down and I was getting frustrated and didn't want to play anymore, BUT, I finally "cheated" and entered a neighbors house for a few sim hours, let the guy die peacefully when I wasn't there, then reentered the lot. I know this may be against the rules, but eh, I'm not worrying about points or anything like that so...no biggie. Thanks for reading!
