Evermere: Messing With Fate

Welcome to Week 1, Round 1 here in The Glade of Prosperity. We're at the house of my simself and her soon to be hubby, Dustin. I have already spoken to Zelda, but she seems rather reluctant to take my advice. She's still a little hazy about why Dustin's living with her. Let's check in on them.Dustin: So thanks for letting me move in with you for now. I totally appreciate it.
Zelda:... oh yeah! No problem...
Me: Hey there.
Zelda: Wha..!?! You scared me!
Me: You'll get used to it. By the way, how's your relationship with your future husband coming along?
Zelda: I told you, I will marry whoever I want, not some guy you chose for me.Me: The Welcome Wagon's here!!
Zelda: Yeah, Dustin just shooed away some old Mindelan lady and a chick named "Placeholder". I kind of like this Arthur guy though. *looks at me innocently*Zelda: Hey hot stuff! You look like you would be a good kisser.
Arthur Rowling: Uh, yeah. I am. I think.
Me: Zelda! How dare you! You better watch it!Zelda: You seem like the kind of guy who would want a lot of babies.
Arthur: Yeah! I love baby making... I mean babies!
Me: That's it. Too much messing with fate for you Zelda. Time for an intervention.Me: Oh, the police! Not exactly what I had in mind...
Zelda: Hey officer.Me: What did she want? Aw what a cute kitten.
Zelda: Meet Todd. Apparently Dustin adopted him for me.
Me: You're a dog person though.
Zelda: I really wanted a cat. It was so sweet of him. *sigh*
Me: I see Arthur's gone. *grin*Me: Hey Dustin.
Dustin: What the--?? You scared me!
Me: Sorry. All your studying is kind of boring. Why don't you talk to Zelda?
Dustin: She's playing with her cat. Besides I need to get a start on maxing my skills.
Me: OK.. I'll just go... feed my llama...

A FEW HOURS LATERZelda: HEY!!!
Me: Hi there. No need to shout.
Zelda: I've been calling you for hours!!
Me: Sorry, I got busy. What's wrong?
Zelda: There's only one bed!
Me: So? It's a double. You can share it.
Zelda: WHAT??
Me: You heard me. Go to sleep. It's past midnight.Me: Hehe. Me: Whoah what's up?
Zelda: We're going on a date, will you excuse us?
Me: Sure... I'll just go stand.. outside..Me: Oh, hey Yari!
Yari Marione: Gee!! Don't sneak up on me like that!!
Me: Sorry. I love your raincoat (courtesy of Lianasims2).
Yari: Thanks. Me: Hey, how was the...? Oh. Seems it went pretty well. *wink*Me: I know being a playground monitor can't be much fun, but gee! Give the guy some air Zelda!Zelda: I... I think.. I'm in love!
Me: *cough* I told you so *cough, cough*
Zelda: We're engaged!!
Me: That's great. I think you should have the ceremony right now.
Zelda: Already??
Me: Yep.Dustin: I, Dustin Evermere, promise to...
Me: blah. Let's skip the vows and go straight to the...Me: ...kiss.Dustin: So... it's been a little cloudy lately, hey?
Zelda: Yeah, it's been rather nippy out.
Me: What are you waiting for?? This weather talk is making me sick.
Zelda: We were waiting for you to leave.
Me: Oh. Well, I never really leave you know. I try to give you privacy bu---
Zelda: OUT!
Me: Fine.Me: You seem to be in a better mood.
Zelda: *grin*Zelda: Ugh.
Me: YES!!
Zelda: Why are you so happy? I've been sick all morning!
Me: No reason. Congrats on the promotion by the way. A Teacher's Aide already! Dustin still hasn't found a job?
Zelda: Nope he... *retch retch* ...ugh.
Me: I'll check back later.Me: Wow! You're look ready to pop!
Zelda: Yeah. Turns out that was morning sickness! The baby's due any day now.
Me: Great. Where's Dustin?
Zelda: Sleeping. He just got back from work. He's a Button Masher already. I'm off to bed.Zelda: ARGH! %&$#
Me: YES. Baby time!
Zelda: DUSTIN!! I NEED YOU!!
Dustin: Ahh... Urgumflop?Me: Aww. Welcome into the world little Landon!
Zelda: Yeah. Isn't he adorable!
Me: Actually, he looks kind of weird... neither you or Dustin have blue eyes. And he doesn't have eyebrows!
Zelda: EXCUSE ME?!??
Me: Oh... I mean... he's an adorable baby!Me: Yay! Another promotion. It does sadden me that you are a "Trash Talker" for your career, but whatever.
Dustin: Thanks... I think.Me: Hey! Isn't that your newborn son I hear??
Dustin: *mumbles incoherently*
Me: What?
Dustin: I said, he cries all the time. We can't make him stop.
Me: Oh, Seasons glitch. I haven't downloaded the patch yet, I am too afraid it will be buggy.
Dustin: Wha--? Nevermind. I don't want to know.Zelda: Hey.
Me: Hey. Todd is all grown up!
Zelda: Yeah... sorry I really need to go eat.
Me: That's OK. The newborn taking a toll on you?
Zelda: That... and other things...Me: You're pregnant again.
Zelda: You don't sound surprised.
Me: Nah, you're a famiy sim. And I heard chimes.
Zelda: What?
Me: Nevermind.Dustin: *&$%^% piece of crap!!
Me: Good luck.
Dustin: I just finished. Good thing cuz I'm off to work.
Me: Congrats Mr. Gold Farmer.
Dustin: Thanks. I think it's time for Landon's birthday, thank the lord!!
Me: Yeah, no more crying baby will be nice... Me: Well, I would sing Happy Birthday, but I can't.
Zelda: You can't sing?? How pathetic.
Me: I doubt you can either. You have 0 creativity points. At least I am an accomplished pianist and flautist.
Zelda: PIANIST! Hahaha...
Me: I will forgive you because you are currently a quivering mass of hormones...

Me: OMG! Landon is missing part of his head.

Dustin: At least his eyes and brows are normal.

Me: True that.

Me: Oh, sorry that had to happen.

Dustin: Ugh. And now it's time for potty training.Me: Dustin is experiencing the joys of parenthood (aka: being stinky because you are covered in baby spit, having to change a diaper because your toddler wouldn't pee in the potty, and having a hormonally wrecked wife).

Dustin: That pretty much sums it up.Me: Glad you're helping out (for once).

Zelda: Whatever. I fixed his head, you could show some gratitude.

Me: I would if you had actually done something other than holding him up to the mirror.Me: What's floating your boat?

Dustin: He finally peed in the potty!!!

Me: That's great!!

Dustin: Whoops, got to run to work.

Me: Zelda! I am glad you're taking care of him, but bathing him outside in the winter doesn't seem like a brilliant idea!

Zelda: ...

Me: Fine. Ignore me now, but you'll regret it when he dies of pneumoniaMe: Yes, the sane one is back! With a promotion.

Dustin: Yep, I'm a flag capturer. The pay still sucks though.

Me: $325 isn't bad.

Dustin: Zelda almost makes that much, and she's only had one promotion.

Me: But she doesn't play video games all day.

Dustin: Good point.

Me: OK. The week's over, so I got t... what are you doing Zelda? Leave poor Michael Proffit alone!!

Zelda: I was just explaining my pregnancy to him.

Me: I'm sure he's heard about the birds and the bees. Remember, you have to help me visit everyone this week.

Zelda: But I'm pregnant!!!

Me: *shrugs* You didn't seem to mind when you guys--

Zelda: Fine.

Points: 1 for money (only 16k, but rounding up helps)

1 for Landon

Introductions

BTW, I would like to thank numerous simmers who have inspired this blog.
1. Asimwen. If I hadn't read Prosperity Falls, I never would have started a Prosperity challenge. Also, I kind of stole your Anothians idea and modified it...
2.Rachel Ziese-Lecy. Prosperity Point gave me the idea to make custom townies. I also stole her whole using Simself to visit people idea.
3. PRmami, Mandie, Jennthesimmergirl, Jenn (barbienut), Shana, and many others. For making blogs I enjoy reading.

Anyway...

4 unique races have mysteriously gathered...

...each have left powerful positions...

...but will they be able to survive, as commoners in a strange land?

Only time will tell.

Let's meet the residents, shall we?

EVERMERE

Background: Zelda is unsure about the sudden change in her surroundings. She is no longer a sim teen, living in Veronaville. Suddenly, she is a full-grown adult living on her own - sort of. She happens to be living with an extremely hot man. Everything is so weird, but it feels like this was how things always were...

Will Zelda ever leave her destiny up to fate?

Will she and Dustin be able to find their happily ever after in The Glade of Prosperity??

Zelda Evermere: adult, female, family, capricorn, LTW: *edit* have 6 grandchildren *edit*

Zelda's thoughts: Where am I??? And who is he?

My thoughts: Not bad. Considering she is my second attempt at making a simself. Her hair really looks like mine. And her lips and eyes. Her nose isn't perfect. But not bad.

Dustin Evermere: adult, male, knowledge, libra, LTW: top of gamer career

Dustin's thoughts: What a hottie!!

My thoughts: Pretty decent. They should have nice babies together.

MINDELAN

Background: All the Mindelans have been vocal about female rights, but Elanor often wondered if her daughter was going too far. Regardless, Queen Ilane's constant petitioning for female rights led to a mass revolt. Eleanor managed to escape to The Glade of Prosperity, bringing with her, her only granddaughter, who would have been heiress to the throne.

Forced to flee the land of Tortall, will Lady Eleanor and Princess Keladry of Mindelan survive amongst their new, unique neighbors?

Keladry of Mindelan: child, female, virgo

Keladry's thoughts: I'm hungry.

My thoughts: What a cutie!! Hope her grandma takes good care of her...

Eleanor of Mindelan: elder, female, romance, aries, LTW: *edit* woohoo with 20 sims *edit*

Eleanor's thoughts: Where's the nearest Tavern. I'm bound to find some men there.

My thoughts: See why I am worried for Kel???

Placeholder's thoughts: I am so looking forward to living here. I hope to become a doctor, get married, have lots of children...

My thoughts: Yeah right.

FAIRREN

Background: The long trek to a new home has done little to soften Imagine's tongue, or soothe her temper. Her bitterness towards the disgrace she has experienced and the lack of wealth and power she is used to, has in fact done the opposite. Her husband Merriadoc's interest in the local women has only increased the tension. Poor Faleron feels as though she is the only thing holding this family together.

Banished from their homeland, will this small family of elves be able to adapt to their new, and considerably harsh living conditions?

Faleron Fairren: teen, female, family, scorpio, LTW: marry of 6 children

Her thoughts: Why me?

My thoughts: 6 kids?? As if I need a population explosion in the first generation!!

Side note: I would like to point out that this happened, right when I entered the lot. Merriadoc told his wife a dirty joke and...

Yep, already their marriage is crumbling! Should make things interesting later.

Anyway, this is Imagine Fairren: female, adult, wealth, cancer, LTW:*edit* become business tycoon *edit* Imagine's thoughts: What a stupid self-righteous man! He has no right to joke at a time like this. Mumph, rumble-bot, stormus... *grumbling becomes unrecognizable*

Merriadoc Fairren: male, adult, romance, aquaries, LTW: woohoo with 20 different sims

His thoughts: Eh, I am still hot!

My thoughts: Ugh.

ROWLINGBackground: There has always been a rift between Wizards and Muggles, due to Wizards' beliefs that they are more valuable. Usually, wizards unite. Unless a wizard is a "blood-traitor".

Poor Mrs. Rowling really did not deserve her fate. Her and her husband's kindness towards Muggles did not sit well with the powerful wizards of the time. After her mysterious death, Arthur found a note: LEAVE NOW, BLOOD-TRAITOR, OR YOUR CHILDREN WILL BE NEXT. They obeyed. Upon their arrival in their new home, they noticed their magical capabilities had all but disappeared.

Will Arthur and his children be able to survive in a new world without their magic? Or will the changes they face prove too difficult for this once tight-knit family?Arthur Rowling: male, adult, popularity, scorpio, LTW *edit* become general *edit*

His thoughts: I wonder if I will get a car! All those knobs and buttons...

My thoughts: He is a dear...

Lilly Rowling: female, toddler, virgoGinny Rowling: female, teen, popularity, aries, LTW: *edit* become general *edit*

Her thoughts: I wonder if anyone will want to be friends with me? Maybe if I can escape my freak family.

My thoughts: Not my favorite sim, though I try not to play favorites...Fleur Rowling: female, child, libra

Her thoughts: I want mommy!

My thoughts: What a cutie!! Charlie Rowling: male, child, sagittarius

His thoughts: Why am I the only boy?

My thoughts: He's quite adorable. I'll try to make the 'no brothers' thing easy on him.

MARIONE

Background: Planet Mordat's unique atmosphere has been deteriorating rapidly over the years. The royal family was soon forced to flee due to the unstable living conditions. Misread directions cased the aliens to land on Simtopia, not Planet Jype. Maadis, the empress, believes it is her families' higher calling to repopulate on Simtopia. Unfortunately, she must depend on the younger generation to do this, although they seem less than willing.

Will the Mariones complete their mission?
Or will Yari and Dar's reluctance cause it to fail?
Is it possible that they could ever really fit in on "Earth"?

Maadis Marione: female, elder, knowledge, capricorn, LTW: *edit* top of adventure career *edit*

Her thoughts: *#&$!! Our disguises are no good here. This skin would have allowed us to blend in perfectly on Jype. At least I managed to find us some typical clothing...

My thoughts: Hehe, this family will be fun. Welcome Maadis!Yari Marione: female, adult, pleasure, gemeni, LTW: have 50 1st dates

Her thoughts: The rain is beautiful!!

My thoughts: What a beauty! 50 1st dates... ugh.Dar Marione: male, teen, popularity, scorpio, LTW: *edit* top of law career *edit*

His thoughts: Why the hell is the school bus here?

My thoughts: No clue buddy (the school bus showed up at 8:00 on Monday. Surprising...)
