Re: The Mole Interactive Story: Season 2.5: The Second Challenge Part 8

Ooh, I didn't realize Daniel was a pyromaniac, too! Now I think he and Kalama would make a cute couple.  Great job getting out, guys!

Yup. Pyromania is always an advantage to having a firefighter father. Especially when it helps you break out of a prison.

Well, it seems Daniel and Kalama are now officially being shipped.
Nice job of blowing things up and then solving the puzzle, guys!

It doesn't take long for the shippers to come out, that's for sure. I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with a bromance to rival Tenshin. Though that may simply be wishful thinking on my part. Shipping is fun! 

Thanks everyone. Daniel is actually a sim from my personal hidden trait challenge. He got that trait from his firefighter father. And thanks to Kalama(Swirl-Girl), Daniel will now get some fresh air, away from that dirty and smelly bathroom jail. And a word from himself,
Daniel- Woo, just got out of the jail. Me and Kalama really did the job. Now we will rest for sometime and start looking for others. Hope others also got out of the jail. And ESCARGOTS, you will pay for this. Wait for Ben Oliver and his agents. And now, time to call my mother. She will be worrying about me.

Daniel's probably onto something. I can't imagine a bathroom used by ESCARGOT would be very clean. Daniel might be getting a bit ahead of himself, though. Who knows what the contestants may find once they're outside their prison...

Alec: Well done Daniel and Kalama! 
So that's five of us who have definitely escaped, right? Five are free, three are missing in action, and two are in the custody of the men in black. It's not a particularly high success rate so far, is it?
My apologies to the forum for my cynical alter-ego. We probably haven't done that badly.
I cannot be blamed for the incompetence of some of my fellow contestants.
Oi! Don't be rude, Xander!

Although cynicism is never terribly fun, it may well be justified in this case. We'll see how the sixth group fares in their escape.

Congratulations to everyone who escaped successfully.

Evie: So basically everyone but Maxi and I.

Well, yes. It was fun though and I love Audren's writing style!

Interesting choice of words from Evie. We'll see just how right she is.

I wish that sims would automatically get wedding rings when they get married. I like to see rings on my married sims. It must be my older generation mindset coming out. LOL

While I'm flattered by the comment, I'm afraid I don't see how it connects to The Mole. Was this meant for a different thread, or am I being particularly dense today? (I do agree with you, though. I usually add them manually when my Sims gets married. Tedious, but it works)

[JudesSims]

I apologize. It's the wrong thread. I was on my cell phone and must have messed up. Blame it on my elder status.

The Mole Season 2.5: The Second Challenge Room #6

Roy: Ugh! Embarrassing! How could those ESCARGOT goons take down these muscles? Bad guys never play fair, do they?



Nihm: Oh, get over yourself. You got beat by some snails. Now let's focus on our escape.
Roy: *harrumph!* Fine. what's your idea, then?
Nihm: I don't like the look of that gnome over there.
Roy: what's wrong with gnomes?
Nihm: Gnomes and I... have never really gotten along.
Roy: Well, I don't think it's anything to worry about.



Nihm: Fine. I'll just check the drawer, then.
Roy: Any luck?
Nihm: Just this pitcher of water. Only it doesn't smell like water.
Roy: Water doesn't even have a smell.
Nihm: That's the point. What's in here?



Roy: I'm more interested in these flowers.
Nihm: Can you tell what they are?
Roy: They look like zinnias, but it's a special breed. Probably something from Llamastan.
Nihm: I guess even Evil can respect horticulture.
Roy: These flowers kind of smell funny, too. Not as strong as the water, but still.



Nihm: Maybe I should pour the liquid into these flowers. See what happens. *pours pitcher*
Roy: Anything?
Nihm: There are these sparks to the right side, almost like firecrackers. Nothing else, though.
Roy: That's strange. What kind of flowers sparkle?



Roy: This is really what I wanted to look at, though.
Nihm: What's inside?
Roy: There's a red tarp, but there's a bump in it. Let me just pull it off and see what's underneath.



Roy: A cat.
Nihm: What on Earth would ESCARGOT lock a cat into a room? Schrodinger's not a member, is he?
Roy: I hope not. We're the cats here, too, remember?
Nihm: Good point.
Cat: *purrs*



Cat: *sniffs the air and walks towards the zinnias*
Roy: Wonder what that's about?



Nihm: Something's definitely up with these zinnias, though.
Roy: Maybe you could try eating them?
Nihm: It's worth a shot. *nom nom nom*
Roy: Feel different?
Nihm: Nope. That's a bummer.



Roy: Do you think this sun decoration has a purpose, or is it just art?
Nihm: Does Evil usually put a lot of effort into their home design?
Roy: I don't think so, but ESCARGOT has never really been that great at being Evil.
Nihm: They beat you, remember?
Roy: They cheated!



Man In Black: Oh, another group bites the dust. What a shame. Except for the dust.



Man In Black: Time's up!
Nihm: Who are you? What are you doing here?
Man In Black: We're here to make sure you get out safely. And since your stupid Sim heads can't do it by yourself, I- we have to intervene.



Man In Black: Good-bye! Sleep tight! Don't let the Mole bugs bite!



Man In Black: You too, cat! Off you go!



Man In Black: I think that's the last one. Time to head back, I guess. Too bad. I liked this outfit.

[Audren]

I apologize. It's the wrong thread. I was on my cell phone and must have messed up. Blame it on my elder status.

Ah. The dreaded cell phone. Always causing issues. At least we both know we're not the only ones bugged by the lack of wedding rings. 

[RainBeau]

Um . . . Man in Black? Really?

[Seabody]

Roy: Hm, how interesting. Theories abound in my mind... Though how indeed they took me down is beyond me.

[chetanhaobijam]

Oops, it looks like Nihm and Roy failed to escape. And is it just my mobile or something, the man in black(very much) looks like A in alien suit disguise. Looking forward for next update.

Are A's boobs that big?  I never noticed.  Oh -- or maybe that's all part of the disguise... 

[Rhoxi]

I think the man in black is a little confused about his or her gender identity. Oh well, better luck next time, guys!

[PeregrineTook]

The problem with these is that challenges is that we never get to find out for sure what the solution was in rooms where the contestants don't escape.  Ah well.  Nice update, Audren.

[Lizzycakecool]

Aw. Is that really the end?

[Audren]

Roy: Hm, how interesting. Theories abound in my mind... Though how indeed they took me down is beyond me.

"Men" in Black often have hidden reserves of strength. Although I think their fancy technology set them over the edge.

The problem with these is that challenges is that we never get to find out for sure what the solution was in rooms where the contestants don't escape.  Ah well.  Nice update, Audren.

That's actually not true. I'll be including the solutions for the unsolved rooms in the update following this one.

Aw. Is that really the end?

No, it's not the end quite yet. I've been very busy the past few weeks, so updates have been scarce. Fortunately, all that is done with. The next update's coming right now.

Um . . . Man in Black? Really?

Yeah, all of you have a good point, there. Perhaps the "Man" in Black will shed some light on this. We'll see.

The Mole Season 2.5: The Second Challenge Part 7

Mordo: Wait, where are we?
Alec: This isn't a house at all. Just a disjointed room.
Xander: Even ESCARGOT has better prisons than this. Something's not right here.



Kalama: Free at last! Now we just need to-
Daniel: Where's the rest of the house? Isn't there more to the house?
Kalama: What's going on here?



Sophie: This can't be an actual ESCARGOT prison, can it? Its just a bunch of rooms. Could it be... a set?



Amadi: I believe your contestants are starting to figure it out. Ought to step in before they completely turn against you.
A: Good idea. Congratulations on successfully escaping, contestants! You've all done an admirable job-
Mordo: Woah woah woah. Hold on a second. What's he doing here? He was one of those thugs who kidnapped us in the first place!
Amadi: I would suggest you watch your tongue when you're speaking to me, if you'd like to speak at all.
A: Don't forget who's paying whom here, Amadi. Don't threaten my contestants.
Amadi: *sigh* Fine.



Alec: Wait, you paid them to kidnap us? What's wrong with you!?
A: Calm down, Xander. I understand that you're the uppity half. Let's not get worked up now.
Alec: That's not him. That's me!
Xander: Although for once, I agree with this imbecile. Why'd you hire goons to kidnap us?
A: I can explain this all at the mansion, but you must be patient. Alright?
Alec: *pause* There better be a good explanation for all this.



Sophie: So I suppose Zeus' disappearance is all part of your plot, too?
A: Disappearance? What are you talking about? Where's Zeus?
Sophie: Gone. He vanished just after we woke up in the room. Didn't say anything about it.
A: That's... not good. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for telling me. Now, let's get back to the mansion. Our guest doesn't take well to the sun.
Kalama: He can burn out here for all I care.
A: You and I both know that you'd say that about anything.



Kalama: Fair point. *wicked grin*
Daniel: It's not wise for a vampire to mess with two pyromaniacs, you know.
Amadi: That hardly stopped me the first time.
Daniel: But now we're armed with explosive materials that your people so graciously provided. How do you feel about your odds now?

Daniel's Interview

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Daniel: So, that was A who sold us out to those snail persons. I had my suspicion when A left suddenly without a word and the next day, we were kidnapped by these hooligans. So, A was paying them for that. Now that it's clear, A have some s'plaining to do, or he will feel our fire wrath.

Amadi: I tire of these mortals, A. Let us return to the mansion where I can have some peace of mind away from you simple-minded savages.
A: It's equally unwise to upset a vampire, especially a recent recruit to ESCARGOT. No more fighting until we've got the whole cast to bicker with. Agreed?
Mordo: Let's get this over with. The sooner we're done dealing with this bat the better.
Amadi: You'll regret those words, puny Sim.
A: And you'll regret your missing paycheck if you so much as breathe on any one of my contestants. Understand?
Amadi: Very well. Let's be off.



As the contestants return to the Mole Mansion, they find themselves with more questions than answers. Soon the truth will be revealed, but will it be what they want to hear?

[Lizzycakecool]

Tell me more! I wanna know more! *Starts rocking on chair like a crazy per-Brooke.*

Tell me more! I wanna know more! *Starts rocking on chair like a crazy per-Brooke.*

I agree! Tell us more!!!
