Chapter Two - Oops, I did it againMe - Oh gagh.
Cuisinier - That's a Klingon food delicacy, isn't it?
Me - Yes, but in this case it is a sound of absolute disgust in myself
Cuisinier - What is it ... wait you didn't watch me in the shower, did you?
Me - No, that would be beyond disgusting. *shudders*
Cuisinier - You didn't watch my Laurel in the shower?
Me - no.
Cuisinier - Well what is it then?
Me - well you know my previous attempts at this challenge, don't you?
Cuisinier - yes, you made me study them extensively, Watcher.
Me - what was the biggest mistake I made in those files?
Cuisinier - you had a computer that wasn't up to it?
Me - No, try again.
Cuisinier - Ah, you mean ...*whispers*
Me - Sorry, I can't hear you, speak up.
Cuisinier - *shouting* you maxed out the household with pets and sims in the early generations and people didn't die in time?
Me - Yes.
Cuisinier - Well, you are smart, surely you learned from that mistake ... and ... *breaks off and starts counting on fingers* Me, Laurel, Laurel's parents, Bob, Betty and Laurel's pregnant ... wait why did the door bell just ring?
Bob and Betty Newbie
Me - I err ...
Cuisinier - and why is Betty taking that basket from that man with 'adoption agency' written on his shirt?
Me - I err ...
Cuisinier - and why ... *breaks off when he sees Laurel going into labour and starts panicking* Oh my oh my oh my oh my ...
Me - Mister Bunnyman, you'd better move yourself off to hospital, your wife will need you on hand.
Cuisinier - fine ... but you and I need to chat when I get home, Watcher. I told you not to have them adopt yet! I told you to wait until my nooboo got to childhood, but did you listen? NO!
Laurel *from the doorway* - Cuisinier Archetype, you get yourself down to the hospital this instant.
Cuisinier - yes dear.
*Later*
Betty - Watcher?
Me - Yes Betty.
Betty - I've picked out my stage name for my singing career.
Me - that's nice, Dear, what is it?
Betty - Wonder Watermelon. I wanted to have a girl, and as you know Bob and I adopted a girl, so I didn't need to eat watermelon afterall. Don't you love her? Isn't she pretty? Her name is Poissarde, and I think she would make a good wife for Cuisinier and Laurel's son, don't you?
Me - she is very pretty, and Wonder Watermelon, impressive, don't think you'll have much of a risk of that name being taken.
Betty - thanks! I've got gigs lined up for the next two days, see that Bob takes care of Poissarde, won't you?
Me - of course, enjoy the gigs, dear.
*Betty races out the door*
Bob - Watcher, that's my 5th comic book, I'm master of the pow, the wharp the frop and the pon
Me - Good to hear, Bob. What's the current book called?
Bob - First issue of "Fat-Man and Little Boy".
Me - impressive, I was pleased with your "Hagess Agnes" one-shot.
Bob - did you know that Agnes Crumplebottom contacted me over that one, she claimed that I sullied her good name and good looks in that comic? I promised not to write another one using her name. "Little Bunch of Horrors" is on the drawing boards at the moment.
Me - just don't get yourself sued. Say, did you read that story on the Brooks family?
Bob - yes, lots of good content there. Well, I should get to the paint easel, excuse me.
Me - of course, Bob.
*There was much excitement in the house at that point, as Cuisinier and Laurel returned with their little bundle of joy.*
Cuisinier - A boy, a little boy ...
Me - Congratulations ... but we want to know ...
Cuisinier - he's got the standard number of arms and legs
Bob - Good work, dude ... but could you tell us ...
Cuisiner - and fingers and toes at the end of each arm and leg respectively
Walter (Laurel's father) - well he is my grandson - what about his ears and nose?
Cuisinier - big ears, big nose.
Yvette (Laurel's mother) - that goes in the family, do we get to see him?
Laurel - of course, Watcher and Grisbys. Bob and Forum, I introduce to you Piscator Archetype.
Me/Walter/Yvette/Bob - He's ...
Cuisinier - pink.
Of course in the days to come, both nooboos got plenty of attention from all six older members of their family.
As well as plenty of sleeping in their matching cots.
And some new toys to enjoy when they were toddlers.
Yes, I really haven't learnt a thing, and have a full house going into Gen 2. Walter is at 90 days and Yvette at 88, so hopefully space/s will open up sooner rather than later.
In game, Yvette has just maxed the cooking career, Bob is making 2k a week writing royalties (all comic books) and Betty is either level 4 or 5 in her singing profession.
Cuisiner is level 8 photography self employed job and 9 meals away from supermaxing cooking. He is well on track to be ready for ambrosia when he hits elder. His property (4 rivers park) and building (gypsy wagon) are both bought and the property fully upgraded. He's got 2 black ops to go and has purchased his 3 unique LTRs. Friends haven't been looked at yet, but when the time comes, they'll be dealt with.
Laurel is the starting photographer/painter to get Cuisinier's photos/portraits done and also the backup to Walter for sculptures. She is 24 ice sculptures at the moment in game.
Looking good, even though I have maxed at generation 1 again.
