Artie: "So this is where you've gone."
Áine/Rica: "Do you have any idea what it's like to be trapped inside your own head?"
Artie: -arches a brow-
Áine/Rica: "Right.. forgot who I was talking to."
Artie: "So what's the plan?"
Áine/Rica: "First we're going to need to figure out how. Fairly certain we know why.."
Artie: "Techies."
Áine/Rica: "Then you need to change my diaper and after that I'm going to want some food. And a name change would nice."
Artie: "First born girl is Áine. You promised!"
Rica: "I didn't know the first born girl was going to be me!"
Artie: "Well you can't have the name Rica."
Rica: "Why not? It's my name isn't it?"
Artie: "Yes but you're a grim now. Which means your name has to be A Grim."
Rica: -exasperated sigh- "You're killing me here. Can we compromise?"
Artie: "You mean can you give me an answer I have to accept because there is no other choice."
Rica: "I'm part of the family now. There is no downtime between us."
Artie: -shudders- "How about Airica?"
Rica: "Like A-r-i-c-a?"
Artie: "I was thinking A-i-r-i-c-a. AI because now you're a Sim. Rica because you're Rica."
Rica: "If you say air because I'm an airhead, you'll regret the second those words come out your mouth, mister."
Artie: "I miss you so much."
Airica: -muffled- "I can't breathe!"
Airica: "Hmm.. needs something.. Or maybe it's just the fact that I'm only allowed non solid foods. Yum baby food. What did this used to be?"
Angus: "Cheesesteak. Your favorite right?"
Airica: "Not for long. I can't believe they say my favorite color is pink."
Angus: "It's not?"
Airica: "It's not. Thanks for dinner, Grampy!" -big grin-
Airica: "Om nomnom. This isn't half bad! This doll should totally have a red shirt though."
Ares: "Hey Rica.. you know what I want.."
Airica: "Ares! You want to pick me up and change my diaper & clothes because if you steal my last lollipop, I will do everything I remember a child can do."
Ares: "Aww.. you're no fun."
Airica: "It's my last lollipop!"
Ares: "Come on. It's time to get off."
Airica: "NO."
Ares: "Rica.. you know it's time to stop. I have some rocks to break and you're getting free time."
Airica: "NO."
Ares: "Grr."
Airica: -laughs- "Mwahaha"
Airica: "I can feel you watching me. Make yourself known!"
.... silence ....
Airica: "Fine but we'll figure it out soon enough and you'll pay. Oh you'll pay. "
Airica: "You know this wasn't that interesting from the other view either."
Angus: "What else am I supposed to do? I can't garden very well."
Airica: "Aww man. I had just gotten Supernatural right before everything went black."
Angus: "What's that mean?"
Airica: "Complication.."
Angus: "Makes no sense. I thought you being here was a complication."
Airica: "It's an extra complication but hey that explains the Nessie I found in the toy box."
Angus: "Nessie?"
Airica: "Nevermind.. Get the coins."
Aker: "Whoo I'm done!" - retires -
..
Aker: "I forgot Rica was on the lot now. Man this isn't creepy at all. Talking to myself and all that." -clears throat and crosses back to the house-
Airica: "THAT WAS MY LAST LOLLY. YOU MEAN EVIL PEOPLE!"
Amon: "Mmm. So sweet."
Amon: "And then Jimmy Sprocket.."
Airica: "Shh cowboy. Let me tell the story. "
Ares: "Huh. Well that was easy, instant and cheap. Why do I feel cheated?"
Airica: -screams from her crib- "Because you know this means you might actually finish the collection before generation 8 becomes immortal."
Ares: "Yes. You'll be saggy and cranky like the rest of us by then I'm sure."
Airica: "Ouch. That hurts. It's my birthday, you're supposed to be nice."
Ares: "Says who? You certainly are never nice no matter what day it was."
Artie: "Ready birthday girl?"
Airica: "As I'll ever be. Did you poison the cake?"
Artie: "Would I do that?"
Airica: "Would you?"
Apollo: "Make a wish!"
Airica: "Do I have to?"
Apollo: "Yes. It's a rule somewhere."
Airica: "Oh ok."
Apollo: "I like your jammies."
Airica: "Me too but wasn't I just in my black a moment ago?"
Apollo: "Yeah I changed your clothes so you wouldn't be in Artie's outfit at the cake."
Airica: -snickers-
Airica: "Oh boy.. that tickles!"
Airica: "Tada!" -crosses eyes- "ACK! I have frizzy ponytails."
A little later....
.... what is Artie doing?
