Elaine - On Hold
« on: August 27, 2012, 09:55:32 AM »
Elaine Callaghan was tired of living under her father's roof, she craved for a new life. After much heated discussions, she was allowed to move out of Bridgeport, and start a new life in Lucky Palms, taking her husky Munich with her.
She used up her money to buy a house in the drying lake, leaving only 400 simoleons in her wallet. But a coincidental meteor strike hit on her new home.


Elaine: What a mess! Better start cleaning up.
And clean the house she did.


She swept every floor of her lot, collected all rocks that landed on her house, and threw them all to the trash.
Diing! A bell was heard. A man stood, donning firefighting uniform.
Alfonso Dean: Hi and welcome to the neighborhood... What happened here!? Would you like me to help you clean up?

Elaine was far from finishing the work, so she swiftly accepted his offer.


Elaine didn't bother the rocks on the second floor, as they provided some free decor.

Elaine thanked the man, then grabbed the newspaper to find a job. Although at this time Munich started to feel the urge of destruction.

The TV was not spared from the incident, and was too expensive for her to replace so it stood there, waiting, for.... something.

She took the job of a podium polisher that starts the next day. The day is young! So she went for a dip in the public swimming pool.


Elaine never learned how to cook, so she ate at the Desert Diner for Dinner.

Wishing to never again set foot in this place.

She played a quick tug-of-war with Munich, which in fact was an Olympic sport from 1900 to 1920.

It was then when she found out that she has more problems to take care of aside from the TV.

She was tired, and decided to take care of it the next day. Putting the now more valuable space rock next to her.

I like the way you write. Did you build Elaine's home? I really like it.  Great start, I will be reading.

Was tug-of-war really a olempic sport?

Tug-of-war was seriously an Olympic sport.

And nice story. :)

Sequence 2, Part 1
Elaine's day started fine, until breakfast that is.

She tried her luck in the realms of cooking...

Laying the raw dough in the warmth of the oven...

But they end up a little too warm.

So she resorted to the one thing that cannot go wrong... microwave the food.

Without time to clean herself, she went for her first day of work.


She worked hard, resisting the urge to sleep in the judge's chamber. She worked a full 6 hours, before going to the biggest reason she chose Lucky Palms... (Singing choir singing) The Wishing Well!
She threw her coin, and wished, and wished. She wished hard, but...

Nothing happened.

She went back home, striding straight to shower, in deep thought of her future.

Ah! Another soon to be problem for Elaine.

Sequence 2, Part 2
She was woken by the irritating sound of her phone.

Elaine: Hello, who's this?
Man: Can't you take a guess?
Elaine: What do you want father?
Elaine's Dad, dramatic: Your life there is stabbing my heart, causing pain everywhere, why won't you reconsider going back?
Elaine: There's not a chance I will go back. Wait, were you spying on me?
Elaine's Father: If that's what you want. I talked with a friend of mine, if you agree, you can start working as a city council member, and a better house.
Elaine: No! I do not want living under your influence again.
Father: You won't be.
Elaine: How do I get to be a Council member?
Father: Are you questioning your skills again? You were the most talented of your siblings.
Elaine: You say the nicest things. I'll take the offer, but only temporarily. If I don't want the luxury, I go back here.
Father: Fine. I'll be sending a chef there, I don't you punishing yourself. And I've teleported your uniform to your house.
Elaine: Fine, I'll probably let him go as soon as he comes.
Father: I'm sure you wouldn't. Bye.
Elaine: Bye.
Elaine searched for the uniform, finding it in her drawer, she changed to it. She noticed Munich's concerned look. She took the time to brush him.

Elaine: Don't worry Munich, I'm fine.
She walk out of the house early, finding a stray cat in the front door.

She let it sniff her hands.

And briefly played with it, adopting it after thinking she needs more companions.
Though the cat, now named Tokyo, seems to dislike it's new "friend"

Elaine never noticed it, since she was halfway to the carpool.

While at work, a cloud of dust formed in her lot.

What could it be? Is it rats chewing on the wooden floor? Aliens creating a rift in space time continuum? No, it was the legendary rivalry between the hound and the feline.

After work, Elaine took a look at her new house. When she arrived, her father called again.

Father: Like it?
Elaine: Yes.
Father: The chef will be there shortly.
Elaine: You know I'll just kick him out.
Father: You won't, I'm sure.
After settling in, it just happens that she was looking at the painting in the living room when the chef came.


She then knew why she can't possibly kick him out.
Elaine: Tony! Your'e the chef my father's been talking about?
Tony: Why, surprised?
Elaine: It's just that we haven't seen each other for, gosh how long was it... 7 years!
Tony: Well it's just good to see you again.
Elaine: Where will you stay?
Tony: Out at the shack your father just teleported here.

Tony: You must be tired, I'll cook dinner while you wait and we can reminisce the past later.
