The Libros Decadynasty: Graveyard Please

[MarianT]

I think it's a little sinister that the Shadow is the one doing the writing. Anyway, let's hope that the third time is the charm!

Hmmm...I didn't even think about it being the shadow writing.  What does that say about me?  Ah well, at least he simply had chess up for the screenshots.  I was trying to use it metaphorically (as in Luisa is not just a pawn in this game).  Thanks for the wishes of good fortune this time around.  My track record proves I need it!

I love it! Buahaha! Very much enjoyed the Alice in Wonderland theme, with the giant chess pieces and the grandfather clock. And your animus...hahaha. No words. You got his facial expressions just right though! Your anima is really pretty. The Shadow was lovely and creepy. I like his insistence that no one could hear him. And of course the Self and Persona were sweet, hospitable, helpful and charming I particularly like Self's outfit. Bow ties are cool. The dream logic was spot-on. It all looks quite like a dream would, I think. Well done!

I have only one complaint: I wouldn't mind if it were a good bit longer.

Traits!

Shadow: Computer Whiz
Anima: Cat Person
Self: Bookworm

And I'd be willing to bet that someone is a Virtuoso, but I have inside information on that one

Thanks for understanding me (Alice imagery and dream concept stuff)   :=)  You got bookworm right.  Viruoso wasn't on display, so it's fair that you didn't know where to place it.  I actually may have more dream sequences throughout this decadynasty.

Well, well, well... What we have here? I am amazed and surprised, Pippin. Good job! This is even more make your story have it's uniqueness. Although that you say this is hard, but I must say that your hard work is paid. I truly love this (yes, yes and yes! if you need someone to smack your for good just to tell you that this is not a dream. I'm here for you. lol) and I can't wait to see more something like this in your story. You know that I am interested in Psychological things. I love Jung theory as well others (Jung, Adler, Freud, Rogers, etc)

It will be interesting if there are collective unconscious thing as well, Pippin. You know, it's something like this for example:
Someone in Barnacle Bay have some consciousness of the one that you have played in previous DecaDynasty. That will be something, right?

I totally support you and you have my back
Please keep writing and please keep survive.. and please be careful!

Yes, I agree with Luisa. Let's make our Dynasty happen, Pippin! Fail is not an option!
As well for Kev's background story, it is ready. I just need to posting in here. Hope that you'll enjoy reading that as I do.

[PeregrineTook]

Thanks, Eld!  Glad you liked the update.  It's good to know that others enjoy nerding out on self-analytical psychology as much as I do  :=)

Pippin:  So, Luisa.  What are you up to?
Luisa:  Just working on that charisma skill.



Pippin:  You seem a bit more...motivated today?
Luisa:  Guess I am.  I'll go out to meet more guys, just let me call the girls first.



Pippin:  How are they doing?
Luisa:  Strangely, they haven't been kicked out yet, so better than expected.
(At the Festival Grounds)
Luisa:  Hey, Timmothy Head.  How do you feel about having a baby and leaving a good-sized grave marker?



Timmothy:  Umm...I...that is...oh, I think my phone's ringing (walks away "talking" on his phone)
Luisa:  I'm not fooled!  I know that didn't ring!
Pippin:  Let's try the park and a more subtle approach.



Luisa:  Hey there, cutie!
Pippin:  Umm, Luisa...?



Luisa:  Oh, umm, little teenage cutie.  I wanted to be big news for having a successful dynasty, not for inappropriate relationships.  Umm, excuse me, teenage boy, my phone's ringing...
Pippin:  That was smooth.  Oh, this is more like it!



Wait.  Are you showing cat videos again?



Luisa:  Hmmm, strangely, that didn't work.
Pippin:  Really?
Luisa:  Okay, one of the charisma books suggested playing coy and aloof.  I'm going to try that.



Luisa:  Hey, Pippin, this seems to be working.



Pippin:  Looks like Danny thinks being around you is a good idea.



Luisa:  Pippin, why are you watching us from the swimming pool?  Nevermind.  I'm heading home.
Pippin:  Wait, are you leaving?  Shouldn't you court him some more?



Luisa:  I want us to have a successful decadynasty, but I don't want to rush into a relationship.  We'll see how I feel about things in the morning.
Pippin:  That's true, Luisa.  I want this to be a success, but I want you to be happy...even if you are a pain in the neck sometimes.
Luisa:  Right back atcha.  Good night, Pippin.
Pippin:  Good night, Luisa.

Awww, I agree with Luisa, Pippin. I am too not like rushing things, I just want to take it slowly to give more depth to the Sims that I played for. Well, I do hope that she will find the one for her in the future chapters.

[MarianT]

Okay, Luisa, time is running out. Here's how to go from acquaintance to marriage in one meeting. Start with no hunger, bladder or hygiene needs. Perform charming introduction. Ask about job. Enthuse about related subject (culinary -- cooking, etc.). When you reach friend, switch to romantic interactions. Ask if single. Ask sign. Compliment appearance, personality. Flirt. When target finds you alluring, confess attraction. If the target's reaction is positive, kiss.  As soon as target finds you irresistible, ask to go steady, kiss, propose marriage, (kiss, embrace, whatever), have private wedding.

Alternatively, throw potent friend elixir, switch to romantic interactions and try the heat-of-the-moment kiss.

[PeregrineTook]

Wow, you're like a walking charisma skill book!  Thanks for the input.  Luisa will be alright.  Timewise, she's at the end of day three.  We'll make the time work.  This will be the decadynasty that finally brings success!

[Eldridge]

Actually when you know about his career it wouldn't be a problem. There will be an option about Enthuse things that related to his work, except for Criminal things. Much better if the spouse is a workaholic, that will be much easier. Just applaud his hard work all day (combine with other social option) but beware workaholic Sims didn't like when he is asked about his alma mater.

Yeah! Success! Good luck!

[Niana]

Oh, it's only been three days! For some reason, it felt longer... oh, that's fine, then, she has at least another couple of days to take it slow (well, in the Simiverse at least)

[PeregrineTook]

Oh, it's only been three days! For some reason, it felt longer... oh, that's fine, then, she has at least another couple of days to take it slow (well, in the Simiverse at least)

Yeah, the timeline is basically:  chapter 1 = first day, chapter 2=second day, chapter 3=not real time, chapter 4=third day.

She'll be wed and have a nooboo coming in plenty of time, but all the friend-making tips are definitely helpful for the move out requirements!!!

I like Luisa's dress. Have I already mentioned that? Anyway, now is no time to be caught up in real-world dating styles! Get out there and get a man, Luisa! You only have three days to get married and get a baby in you!

[PeregrineTook]

I like Luisa's dress. Have I already mentioned that?

I don't believe you have, but thanks!  I'm rather fond of it too (my anima and animus were just discussing how stylish it was the other day)

Anyway, now is no time to be caught up in real-world dating styles! Get out there and get a man, Luisa! You only have three days to get married and get a baby in you!

I can hear Luisa now saying something like, "Great!  Another Watcher with nothing better to do than force a marriage and baby on me!"  She's quite a fun character for me  :=)
