He stands alone before a barren field..
Perry: So, has anyone seen my wife?
just watching, wondering what horrors await him.Pippin: Oooooookay. That's about enough of traumatizing the cheap imitation Pippin. Let's get this dynasty started, chump!
Perry: Don't you mean "champ?"
Pippin: Nope!
Pippin: Now, get in there and make some friends! You've got 5 hours and 20 minutes to meet your potential wife and get a job.
Perry: ...I'm already married...
Pippin: Not with that attitude you're not!
Perry: ...that doesn't even make sense.
Nina: Hey there, stranger. I notice you've got a plumbob. You're not a dynasty founder, are you?
Perry: I am, I guess.
Nina: And do you happen to be looking for a wife?
Perry: I am!
Perry: Have you seen her?
Nina: Only every time I look in the mirror.
Perry: So...she's trapped in a parallel dimension that can only be reached by going through a mirror?
Nina: Oh, you're so funny! I like that in a man.
Nancy: Oh my! Who's the handsome stranger?
Perry: Umm, I think he's the Bjergsen fellow?
Bjorn: Thank you, Perry. Thank you.
Nancy: Oh, a sense of humor. I love that in a man.
Nina: Back off, Nancy
Mangrab! I saw him first and I'm at least single. Well (looks at Perry) at least
at the moment I am.
Perry: Okay, well, I'm going to go to the library to research mirror dimensions. Thanks for the help!
Nina and Nancy: Bah-eeee.
Perry: (goes to library and begins research)
Kyra Gupta (Librarian): Well hello there. Don't believe I've seen you around here before?
Perry: No. Actually, you may have seen my Watcher. We look almost identical.
Kyra: So you're a Simself?
Perry: More of a Simsomeoneelse.
Kyra: That's...not a thing...anyway, anything I can help you with?
Perry: Well, I'm trying to research parallel dimensions that can be accessed through mirrors because my wife is apparently trapped in one and I'm just trying to find my way back to her.
Kyra: That's..(sniff)…
that's the sweetest thing I've ever heard! (sobs)
I wish someone loved me like that! (bawls like a baby)
Perry: Hey, there there. I'm sure the right guy for you is out there. Maybe you've already met him even. He could be standing right in front of you and you might not even know it.
Kyra: Really? (sniffs)
Right in front of me?
Nina: No, book harpy. That man is
mine!
Perry: Oh, hi juice dispensing specialist. I'm sorry, I just realized I never caught your name?
Nina: Don't think I droppped it. Mrs. Perry Green would be fine.
Perry: Oh...ummm...so your name's Chacha?
Nina: Oooo, nicknames! I like it.
Pippin: And with that, we leave our oblivious cheap imitation Pippin and turn our attention to my darling India.
India: Hiya, Pip! Pippin doesn't have any favorites, but if he did, they'd be me!
Pippin: Yeah, that seems fair. Anyway, let's start working on getting some satisfaction points through completing some curator aspiration things.
India: Huh?
Pippin: Let's go on a mini-adventure!
India: Oh, okay!
Pippin: You should go meet that guy playing chess.
India: Why?
Pippin: Eventually, you'll need some chump husband or boyfriend to run the store while you're off adventuring.
India: That's smart!
India: Hiya! Are you a chump?
Pippin: (facepalms)
Neelesh: Haha, quite a question. Well, I'm Neelesh. I'm a gardener. And as to being a chump, I suppose chump is as chump does.
India: Yeah, no idea what you said. K, I'm gonna go adventuring. Bah-ee!
Pippin: And her adventure leads her to the fish pond where she begins hunting frogs.
India: Fear me, frogs. I will find you. Oh yes. I
will find you.
Pippin: And she did.
India: Because I'm
awesome!
Pippin: Yeah you are! And after grabbing a few more collectibles, India made her way to the Salty Paw Saloon to see what other chump options she might find.
Sergio: Oh my. Hello, pretty lady!
India: Are you a chump?
Sergio: ...am I what?
India: You're missing the glass.
Sergio: Huh?
Sergio: Oh!! Oops. Sorry. There you go. You need a drink and I...need a mop...
India: Definitely a chump.
Eliza: Hey, little one!
India: Hiya!
Eliza: You have Pippin as a Watcher, which means you'll be very poorly cared for...
Pippin: Hey!
Eliza: So I've come to be your
real Watcher.
Pippin: Hey again!
India: Cool! I'll be the best-watched Sim
ever!
Pippin: I am not on board with this.
India: Aww, Pip, you know you'll always be my
favorite Watcher.
Pippin: I'm more on board with this.
Eliza: To the vacant lot!
Eliza: So, Pippin would have left you with nothing but an empty chunk of land for the first week of the dynasty.
Pippin: Hey, that's...yeah...guess I'd forgotten about this...
India: I forgive you, Pip.
Pippin: Thanks.
Eliza: I'd rather see you outfitted with adventuring gear.
India: Ooooooo
India: This is great!
Pippin: And since my darling India is well-equipped for success...
Eliza: You're welcome.
Pippin: we now turn our attention to the vampire...
Pippin: who instantly gets a house so he doesn't burn up and die.
Elvain: Because I'm a vampire.
Pippin: Yes, Elvain, everyone knows that. Now let's go meet your future wife!
Elvain: Hi! I'm a vampire!
Lilith: Really? How nice for you.
Elvain: Pippin says I should marry you because you're lovely and whatever.
Lilith: Wow. How romantic.
Elvain: Oh, umm, and you are. Lovely I mean and...OH! Oh my!! Who that girl? Me like!
Lilith: Yeah, how about this, kid: you let me make the plan and we'll get you that gal and I get to have my freedom?
Pippin: Hey!!
Elvain: Yes! That girl! I like!
Lilith: Okay, here's what we'll do (begins whispering)
Pippin: Hey! I can't hear you!!
Lilith: Yes, Pippin, that's how whispering works. (To Elvain) Now go get him, champ!
Pippin: Him?
Elvain: Hi, Mr. VampireGuy. I'm Elvain. I'm a vampire.
Vlad: Ah, another young child of the night come to learn my ways.
Elvain: Umm, yeah. Okay. Anyway, Lilith said I should move you in and you could help me with my lady problem.
Vlad: That's...not usually how I do things.
Elvain: Oh. Umm. Please?
Vlad: If you can beat me in a fight, I'll join you.
Elvain: Ummm, okay?
Pippin: Well, that was quick.
Elvain: Sorry. I lost. Guess I'll just go now.
Vlad: No, my boy, I just wanted to test your merit. I shall join your noble cause!
Elvain: Really?
Vlad: Yes. Mainly it's because I'm aware Pippin would love to breed my nose genetics into your bloodline, so I'm likely going to be some sort of pollinator.
Pippin: He speaks wisely and accurately.
Vlad: Now, let's deal with your lady problems. What is it I can do for you exactly?
Elvain: Well, it's kind of embarrassing, but (whisper whisper)
Pippin: Again with the whispering?!?!?
Vlad: Katrina Caliente, you will become a dark child of the night.
Katrina: I will?
Elvain: Umm, that's not hurting her, right?
Katrina: Feel...fine...
Pippin: And Lilith's clever plan brings us up to midnight and the end of the first day. For week one, we'll be spending quality time with my imposter. Of course, by the time we get back to Elvain…
Elvain: I'll be a vampire!
Pippin: (facepalm) You already are.
Elvain: Oh. Right.
She'll be a vampire!
Pippin: And with that, we bid a fond adieu to the Imitation Monster Adventurer RDC...for now.
