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

I really enjoyed reading your blog :D I've never really played with my sim self... I think I'd get too annoyed when she did silly sim things... but yours seems to be doing really well.

Can't wait to see what happens with the rest of your families.

Hmmm ..... the toddler with no head! You've gotta laugh. The hat looks good on him though, a definate improvement. The first week's gone well, 1 baby born and another on the way! All those promotions too! Maybe next time there will be room inside for the bath, as you're right about the pneumonia.

Lucky for Zelda she's very cute in that pink nighty while pregant. Sounds like she'll be spending a lot of time knocked up! :)

This is really funny.

"Yeah! I love baby making... I mean babies!"
That was the sign (if nothing else) that Zelda is supposed to be with Dustin.

"Whatever. I fixed his head, you could show some gratitude." LMAO

It's definitely interesting, playing with your simself. Mine's stuck in the asylum, unfortunately.

Wonderful update! I just love your style of writing, so cute, and funny! I look forward to reading more!!!

Ellie said...

Loved your update. You made me laugh :) I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing your simself visit a lot of other people, not to mention seeing how the other families pan out.

I loved this update, you are so funny! Landon has beautiful eyes even if we can't figure out the source, lol.

One's own simself always has such an attitude! Great update and that darn Seasons baby crying glitch was SO annoying. Glad it's fixed now
