The Libros Decadynasty: Graveyard Please

[PeregrineTook]

CHAPTER 1, THE WAKE-UP CALL

2:00 AM on what seemed like a regular day for Luisa Libros
Pippin:  (In haunting, ghostly voice)  Luisa.  Luisa.  Go to the mirror.



Luisa:  Who is it?  And is that your real voice?  I mean, come on, no one really talks like that.



Pippin:  (In his normal voice)  Fine, is this better?
Luisa:  About the same, actually.
Pippin:  Someone's grumpy!



Luisa:  Whatd'ya expect?  You wake me up at 2 in the morning and want flowers and puppies?  Ain't gonna happen.  Now, what do you want?
Pippin:  Luisa, you are going to be the founder of a decadynasty.



Luisa:  Is this a joke?  Am I being pranked?  Nina and Dina, is that you?
Pippin:  No, it's not TweedleDee and TweedleDum.  I am your Watcher.
Luisa:  Shall I call you Watcher then?  How about Watchy?  Maybe Dubs, you know, short for W?



Pippin:  There are those who call me...Pippin.
Luisa:  Why do they call you that?
Pippin:  Because it's my name.  You're right, you're obviously too tired to think clearly.  We'll chat more in the morning.

(The next day)



Pippin:  Ah, here you are with the Tweedles.
Luisa:  Can they hear you?
Pippin:  No, but they can hear you.  I can hear your thoughts, Luisa.
Luisa:  Well, that's certainly invasion of privacy!
Pippin:  I only hear them when you direct them to me.  I'm not some sort of creeper or something!



Pippin:  I'll be sending a llama by the house to get the Tweedles out of your way so you'll have more time to focus.
Luisa:  A llama?  Like some mystical creature sent by a divine power?
Pippin:  A mystical..?  No.  Not at all.  I meant the mascot from Sims University.  Help get the Tweedles convinced to go there.  Given how gullible they are, it shouldn't be much of a challenge.
Luisa:  Valid point.  By the way, make it a guy.  Nina hasn't said no to a guy for as long as I've known her.
Pippin:  As for you, dynasty founder,



let's work on that charisma skill.
Luisa:  No worries, I love reading, but why improve my charisma?
Pippin:  Oh, did I forget to mention you need to find a husband?
Luisa:  WHAT?!?
Pippin:  So (crakle crackle)rry there seems (crackle crackle) to be (crackle) a bad (crackle) connection (crackle crackle) I'm going through (crackle) a tunnel...
Luisa:  Pippin?  Hello?  Grrr...

(Later that day)
Pippin:  Oh, hey there.  I sent the llama around.  He seems to still be there...anyway, how's the charisma coming along?
Luisa:  Great!
Pippin:  Fantastic!  Show us a charming Miss Simerica wave.



Oh...we're in trouble...
Okay, theTweedles are having a party.  Why don't you try chatting up some of the guests?



Really, Luisa?  The only elder in the room?
Luisa:  Just building up my confidence a bit.
Pippin:  What do you have in mind?
(Wicked gleam in Luisa's eye is all the answer she gives)



Pippin:  Oh...umm...



and dancing too?  Maybe we're not in as much trouble as I thought...

(The next morning)
Dina:  Wait, you're saying the strange llama fellow doesn't come from another country?!?
Luisa:  Nope, University is a place where people go to learn and get better jobs and have the chance to meet new people and experience life-changing things.



Dina:  I like quitting my jobs.  I should go to the Mystical Land of University.
Luisa:  Again, it's not another country.  It's actually about a half hour's drive away.  You aren't listening, are you?



Pippin:  Well done, Luisa.
Luisa:  An ice cream truck?  Really?
Pippin:  Well, you have to give them something special now and again.  So about finding you a husband...
Luisa:  UGH!
Note:  This story is actually interactive with the Miscellaneous Story "Increasing a Few Degrees:  The Calientes Go to College"

[Gogowars329]

This is cool how you are conntecting it to your other story. Cant wait for more!

[PeregrineTook]

Thanks!  I figure it will either be a great idea or a monstrous headache, but so far it seems like the first one.

[MarianT]

It's both a great idea and a monstrous headache. Barnacle Bay should be a great setting. By the way, you can shrink the size of your save file by disabling memories.

Good luck this time around!

[Eldridge]

I love that you decide to start another dynasty soon, Pippin. If I were you, I couldn't bear and it's take me a quite time just to move on. You know? I'm the type who easily attached with The Sims that I played. So, if something happened to my Dynasty now, I just don't know anymore.

I love that you feature something new here. Good luck on that. For backstory for Kev, I still have to found the right moment and right feel. Because I can't do multitasking things lol. I hope that you wouldn't be mind waiting for that.

Good luck with both of our dynasty
Wishing for the best and hoping for the best ending.

Notes:
I still waiting for Pavo and Rollo story, if you have that in the future. Posting it in Miscellaneous story, 'kay ^^

[PeregrineTook]

Marian, thanks for thinking this is a great idea and seeing the monstrous headache of it.  Thus far, I'm trying to get the Calientes through their week of college and then I have to play through a week's worth with Luisa to have the events that happened while the "Tweedles" were out of town.  Truly a beautiful mess.

Eld, I absolutely agree about growing attached to your Sims.  Must admit, I got a little jealous and protective when Blair showed up in your story, but you made Gobbi such a kind, sweet man, so I settled down and just went with it :=)
Pavo and Rollo will show up again at some point, I'm just trying to figure out for sure how I want to go about using them.  When I do, I'll post the link in my signature so you'll know.

[Eldridge]

Thank you Pippin for telling me this. As I am when I see Agnes in other story, sometimes I just can't. Some people maybe say that her appearance is ghastly, but not for me. I just love her whoever she is. At first I didn't plan about makeover things. Ah, yeah this is interesting. Little Axl didn't have same hair color like Erik nor Agnes. But he has the color from his grandfather, Simon Crumplebottom (I do some testing about color and his granddad and he is exactly same!) Too bad though as a ghostboo we can't tell the difference!

For Pavo and Rollo, that's really good to know!

The background story for Kev is ready, just need go into game and take some screenshot from another save file. It's won't be long, just one-shot kind type of story. But, it's summarize his life. Is that kinda story allowed? Usually in miscellaneous story they have several chapters lol. I'll posting it in my signature and ID when it finished and I do hope that you will enjoy the story!

[PeregrineTook]

Pippin:  Well, now that the hotties are gone, let's address a few things.
Luisa: Hotties?  Aren't you a different species than Sim?  How gross!



Pippin:  What? No!  "Hotties" because Caliente means hot!
Luisa:  I know.  I was messing with you, because it's fun and easy.
Pippin:...



So, about your wardrobe...
Luisa:  Whoa!  It's bad enough that you're forcing me to marry against my will, but now you're insulting my sense of style?
Pippin:  Well, this outfit isn't that bad, but we could add a few more looks...and completely do away with your work outfit.  There are little old ladies making fun of how uncool that is.



Luisa:  What?  That's at least on the edge of hip.
Pippin:  No, it makes you look like you're on the edge of hip replacement.
Luisa:  Grrrrrrr...



Okay, this makes up for how rude you were.  What else do we have?



Nice!  I can lounge and read in this!
Pippin:  Yes, all men find lounging while reading alluring.
Luisa:  I am so going to revoke your speaking privileges.



I'm enjoying my new looks.  I wonder how the girls are enjoying college?



Dina:  What are you working on, Nina-bee?
Nina:  I'm writing a love note to my professor.  I have a date with him in a few minutes.
Dina:  Is that allowed?
Nina:  The brochure said it was a friendly and accessible staff!
Pippin:  So, there you go.  They're fine.  Off to the festival grounds with you.



Luisa:  Why am I going to the festival grounds?
Pippin:  To meet men so you can have a baby, of course!
Luisa:  Ugh, babies.
Pippin:  Where there's free food, there will be men.



Luisa:  Ugh (gulp gulp choke)



So, I have to get married and have a baby and someone in my household will have to leave a good sized grave marker and...where are you going?
Pippin:  Maybe that was a bit too direct?
Luisa:  Maybe.



Pippin:  Maybe Danny Cwik is our guy?  Yes, all men love chatting about ladybugs.



Here's a celebrity option in Buzz Malifa...and now you're showing cat videos.  Great.
Luisa:  He thought it was adorable!
Pippin:  Sure he did.  Why don't you try dressing like a grandma and reading while lounging next?  He'll love that.
Luisa:  You're not my favorite person right now.
Pippin:  You get moody when you're overtired.  Go get some sleep and we'll go man-hunting...I mean, spouse-seeking again later.

Can she find her soulmate before the Calientes return and get in the way?  Stay tuned!

[RainBeau]

I like her sense of humour. Your interaction is pretty funny, I have to say. I hope she can find a man in time!

[MarianT]

She had better find someone before they return if she wants to have the first heir within 10 days. Go, Luisa!

[PeregrineTook]

I like her sense of humour. Your interaction is pretty funny, I have to say. I hope she can find a man in time!

Glad you're enjoying it.  I wanted her to come across as socially awkward, but sassy.

She had better find someone before they return if she wants to have the first heir within 10 days. Go, Luisa!

Oh, right, deadlines.  There's my back, there's you having it.  Thanks, Marian!

[Eldridge]

Haha, reading your story just make my day, Pippin. Thank you for that. It's seem raised my spirit power lol.
I kinda like how Luisa act, she is funny and kinda annoying at the same times. But, you know, she's typical that you can't hate but just love her for that. Definitely support her to find husband soon lol.

Next update please?

[PeregrineTook]

Pippin:  How's the charisma building going?
Luisa: Well, I'm currently reading about different aspects of personalities.  It's by some psychologist from Simsterdam or GerSimy or some such...Jung, I think his name was.  But now I'm getting tired and I'm going home to sleep!



Pippin:  Why don't you just finish this chapter first?
Luisa:  Grrrr...
Luisa:  (Thinking, but not directly to her Watcher)  I finally have a break from the spoiled sisters and now I have to deal with this obnoxious watcher pressuring me into founding a decadynasty!



Can't he find some other poor schmuck to do this?  Why me?
(And with that in her mind, she lay down to sleep...



but awoke to a strange noise)
Luisa:  Nina?  Dina?  Is that you?  Did you get kicked out of the university already?
(But it wasn't the Calientes she found when she exited her room)



Luisa:  A creepy spiral staircase randomly appears in my kitchen.  Obviously, walking down it is the wrong choice.  I'm doing it anyway, but I know it's the wrong choice.



Really?  A book labeled "Pull Me?"  How Alice in Wonderland can you get?!?
(When the book was pulled)



Of course there's a hidden passage.  Why wouldn't there be?
Hello?  Is anyone here?



Pippin's Persona:  What?  Yes, I'm here, we're here, that is, and you are...



Oh, Luisa, hello, welcome, nice to see you, how's the charisma coming, everything good?  Can I get you a drink?  We have at least two coffee makers going, hey everyone, look who's here!
Luisa:  Wait, who are you?
Pippin's Persona:  I'm Pippin, and so is the bald fellow.
Pippin's Self:  Hello, I just shaved my head to raise money for cancer research.  I do what I can to help.  Do you need help?  Shall I start a list of things I can do?
Luisa:  I'd really just like to know what's going on...



and who is she?  Surely not another Pippin?



Pippin's Anima:  Oh!!  Another girl is here!!  Aww, you look like a lost little kitten!  Sweetie, that nightgown is really not flattering.
Pippin's Animus:  What's not flattering?



Pippin's Anima:  Well, that new outfit certainly is flattering!
Pippin's Animus:  I know, right?  And don't you love the teal on the shoes?  Umm...I mean...



sports and stuff...I like looking good while I...dominate on the...court...



Pippin's Shadow:  (Thinking to himself)  These people are all morons.  I can't stand them.
Pippin's Self:  You know we can all hear you, right?
Pippin's Shadow:  (Thinking to himself)  No you can't.



Pippin's Persona:  Anyway, Luisa, the orb should fill you in a bit more on why you're here.
(Luisa watched as images of an attempted decadynasty with a young woman named Bianca and her beloved daughter, Zaylee, met with sad failure



she then saw a happy couple named Beau and Blair had a wonderful son named Pavo, but met with yet another failure



in the background of each, she saw the many faces of Pippin wincing and weeping with each downfall)



Pippin's Self:  Now do you understand, Luisa?  You're more than just a pawn in this game.  You're our hope. 
Luisa:  I...I didn't know...guess I didn't think of it...quite that way....



Pippin's Shadow:  (Thinking to himself) We're just going to fail again.
All Pippins:  We can hear you!!



Pippin's Shadow:  (Thinking to himself loudly)  No you can't!
Pippin's Animus:  Where are you going Luisa?



Luisa:  To make this decadynasty a success!
(The next morning)



Pippin:  Good morning, Luisa.  Are you ready to...
Luisa:  Let's make this decadynasty happen!

[Niana]

Haha this is awesome Funny enough, I came on here to take a break from studying for my personality psych exam... I think something's telling me to get back to it!

Glad I could help you to still study while taking a break from studying  :=)  Must say, this was really hard to write!
I kind of liked the passageway as well.  Too bad it's not a real part of their house.
