Tuesday, 3rd of Winter, Year 2 - Household 3
A chill winter.
A chill winter.
Household 3 has been hit by a double whammy - both Drawn Inward and Polly have expired within the last few days.
I arrange their urns in tasteful locations in the foyer.
Bubble is actually the best cook in the house now.
Grue beseeches his cat to return.
And Kags does the same for her brother.
This gives Bubble enough time to finish cooking breakfast, and then it's down to business. Sim Life is short - that's a point well-hammered home, lately, so ya gotta chase those aspirations.
Incidentally it's snowing like crazy outside, so outdoor pursuits are probably gonna have to wait.
Vero gets busy raising that charsima.
MD has already overexerted himself this morning... he'll have to kinda take it easy.
Logic level 6 is within Cog's grasp.
Grue has to be at work in an hour and a half, and he's been neglecting his comedy writing. That's no way to get promoted.
In order to further his renaissance sim aspiration, Bubble needs two promotions at a job. Since he's been getting really good at cooking, I have him get a job in the culinary industry.
And he starts off with some practice, so that he makes a good impression on his first day.
Grue didn't finish his comedy prep, but he's already late for work and has to dash.
Cog achieves the next step of his aspiration, and now he needs to own a rocket. Where the heck is he gonna find the room for a rocket??
The only place Kags has been able to find the space to set up to deal with the artifacts she found in the jungle is in the downstairs bathroom. Cog must waddle his full-bladdered self upstairs to pee.
Bubble doesn't really have anything he needs to do left today, so he watches a couple movies.
Apparently no amount of inclement weather will stop Sara from grilling in the park.
The conflict over the bathroom escalates.
Losing a sibling makes you appreciate the one you have left.
Vero finishes her self-taught charm school, now she needs to make 4 more friends. It occurs to her that even though they live together, she and MD could be closer. Some well-chosen words of flattery, and she's got herself another friend.
Bubble misses Drawn Inward.
Well, Vero's not gonna find more friends staying at home. She heads next door.
She spends the rest of the day cheering up Household 1 in their time of loss, and nets a couple more friends.
However, she and Luca get off to a bad start.
She returns home around 10pm, worn out. Everybody's back to being nonproductive, of course.
All these delicious things Bubble's been whipping up, and Kags goes for the cheese crackers.
Bubble pumps a little iron before bed. Gotta keep that hard-won six pack.
MD is content to sit and drink coffee.
Vero and Cog are the first to hit the sack.
Late that night, just as he's about to go to bed, Grue discovers Polly has appeared to.. uh... make a deposit. Welcome back to the family, Polly.
Oh, and did I forget to mention Grue broke the damn toilet? Kags mops the mess, but it's futile... until Cog wakes up and fixes it, puddles will just continue to form.
And Kags is STILL a dance machine.

Wednesday, 4th of Winter, Year 2 - Household 4
She's all about comfort and joy.
She's all about comfort and joy.
Welp, the boys are goofing off.
GB's watching politics. Typical.
Only the ladies are doing anything productive. I'm not sure what uncleanliness has Celt Z yucked out, you can't see anything under all the snow.
Jwhouk's gotta learn 4 things. Dancing's just as good as anything, and he's already doing that himself.
I replace the picnic tables with something a little more refined.
Well, seems most people would rather sit at the bar anyway.
Oh, and hey, it's Christmas! This is how we do Christmas .. er, excuse me, Winterfest, in Household 4.
Tin likes to watch.
DarkAudit is less of a party guy, though, and likes to be on his own. Ironically enough, though, he's over there chatting.
Snuffles asks a risque question, and Dei doesn't respond well.
Welp, DA has broken his computer. I send Gas over to fix it, but...
... he's easily distracted.
No time for love, Dr. Jones. Fix the computer, techno-monkey.
Caffeine is his reward to himself when he's finished.
Yarr, Gruebeard grills himself up a hearty pirate stew of beanies and weenies.
Alright, everybody's got the day off from work, but there's still aspirations to chase. I set Snuffles back to mixology practice.
The other fellas are gonna work their minds at the poker table. I need to keep them busy...
And Dei, too. Work that acting skill, girl.
The reason being, I want them productive while I send Celt Z over to work on HER aspiration - which needs one more romantic conquest. I send her down the street to Household 1.
This house is in the throes of mourning. Somebody should surely need some company to cheer them up.
Oh, who's this strapping, distinguished ghost? He's lunch, that's what he is.
Hey Charon, Mistletoe!
Next thing you know, they're in more secluded environs...
... and one thing leads to another. Celt Z has her third strong romantic relationship. She's still gotta find six other people to kiss, though.
Meanwhile, Jwhouk's dancing is getting less awful.
If Tin isn't careful, he's gonna set fire to his beard.
DarkAudit's switched gears to console instead of PC. Gas decides it's time for a nap.
Celt Z gets home from her tryst. Yeah, that townie seems to know what's up. She joins GB in taking a nap.
Tin elects to eat his dinner down at the bar, and chat with Snuffles while he practices. Snuffles achieves mixology level 7. Now he just needs for his professional career to catch up to him.
Snuffles once again entreats the afterlife for a visit from his dog, but the ethereal circuits seem to be busy.
Having awakened from his nap, Gas joins the party downstairs.
If Celt Z is gonna smooch 6 more people in rapid succession, she's gonna need a lot smoother tongue. She works on her pickup lines in the bathroom mirror, since Dei is still monopolizing the standing mirror.
Kags goes out for a run on this bracing winter's night.
DA goes to bed before 10 like some kind of responsible adult.
And despite their afternoon nap, CZ and GB aren't far behind him.
He's exhausted and has to pee REAL bad, but Snuffles is enjoying the conversation with Tin too much. He crosses his legs and holds it.
Dei gets another audition saturday at 9 am. I think I'm just going to have to remember that and switch back to her to get her to her audition this time. That settled, she heads off to bed.
In fact, the whole place is asleep by midnight, and sleeps through til morning. Silent night, indeed.

That's the symbol for "woo-hoo." What the sims calls sex, to avoid getting an M rating. You are gossiping with him about who's sleeping with whom.
Some red-haired hussy is messing with my brother's spirit and he probably loves it!

Thursday, 5th of Winter, Year 2 - Household 5
A challenger appears!
A challenger appears!
Klew's gotta get those 4 4 skills, and he's been working diligently at logic.
Well, I guess Zappit can't burn to death anymore if he screws up with the grill, huh?
Hrm, somebody's missing here.
Ah, it seems that Null's reprieve from death was less than 5 days. Well, I mean, knowing his girlfriend, I'm not surprised.
Speaking of, she isn't too happy with the development, either.
Everybody has a breakfast of Zappit's burgers, but Bhamv just kind of picks at her food.
So, when she wanders away from the table, I have her perform the ritual to strengthen Null's ties to the material plane.
Afterwards, she decides to go cry it out in bed.
After breakfast, Zappit entertains himself briefly by possessing a nearby bookshelf, startling Sparhawk.
Meanwhile, it looks like Jun is getting to know some of the kids in the neighborhood.
Sara's gonna need some coffee if she's to be productive today.
Klew and Spar are cutting the proverbial rug, and I had intended to make some kind of memetic reference to the dancing guys in Gravity Falls, but then Bhamv shows up and steals the show by flirting with Klew and then shouting insults at him. She's an eccentric one.
The argument leaves Klew in a terrible mood.
Meanwhile, Zappit has painted his first masterpiece. Bravo!
Spar and Klew head off to work as Bhamv takes out the trash.
Bhamv still needs one more date. One beau is dead, and the other's at work. Tiger makes a convenient target... and she easily sweet talks him into taking her out.
They head to the Orchid a Go-Go club. Hey, MD seems to be a bouncer here!
Things seem to go very well at first, but I have to keep Bhamv from going Dr Hyde a few times on Tiger.
What, did Dei raid GasBandit's closet before going out today?!
As long as Bhamv stays on track and doesn't turn nasty, Tiger puts up no resistance at all and is enraptured.
They take this party back to the house.
And then Tiger can't contain himself any more.
Sara takes a break from the chessboard to get in some time on the treadmill.
Bhamv worked up an appetite. Tiger, on the other hand, has immediate need of a nap.
Klew gets home from work, and immediately sets to the chessboard with a will.
Once she's done with her bite and her nap, Bhamv starts working her charm skills in a mirror.
Null apparently texts Tiger his approval from beyond the veil. I take this as a positive indicator that he'll be showing up tonight.
Zappit takes a break from painting to refuel. He's had quite a day, completing several excellent paintings.
Silk gets sprayed by YET ANOTHER SKUNK.
(sniff... sniff sniff) oh man...
Spar is off to wash his stinky, stinky ghost dog. Again.
I don't know where Adam is going, but he's dressed up for it.
Tiger's got a song in his heart and he's just gotta let it out.
Klew completes his logic needs. One down, three to go! It's too bad that he and Sara weren't able to work on that at the same time.
Bubble's out for a late night jog. Seems kinda chilly to me, but then, I don't jog at ALL, so what do I know.
DA, too
Zappit puts the finishing touches on his fifth excellent painting, and heads off to bed. Bhamv keeps practicing her charisma late into the night.
Looks like Dancing is next on Klew's agenda.
Around 1 am, much as I thought he would, Null's incorporeal self drifts in on the breeze.
Fortunately for him, his girl has fought off sleepiness for just this opportunity.
Oh, wow, really? The Observatory? Well. Heh. Welcome back to the household, Null.
Well, I guess Zappit can't burn to death anymore if he screws up with the grill, huh?

A elderly bouncer? Awesome!
It's Mr Hyde, @GasBandit.
They'll grab any NPC they can. I had one I'd retired and moved to NPC-dom with his wife show up as a bouncer even though he was a Worldwide Celebrity.

I have explicitly mentioned every time I've purchased an aspiration reward. Usually I try to get something in line with the aspiration of the sim in question (like Zappit getting Creative Visionary), but when Mind Detective was getting on in years I did have him get a potion of youth.. and he's outlived most of the others of his age bracket. He already had Gym Rat, so I figured he could splurge a little.

Friday, 6th of Winter, Year 2 - Household 1 (and some Household 4)
Girls just wanna have fun. Boys just want to wreck the plumbing.
Girls just wanna have fun. Boys just want to wreck the plumbing.
Apparently Celt Z is enough to even wear out a ghost. Hot-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha.
Cheesy's been diligently working on his logic skill, without even needing my intervention.
Black Magic Woman Wasabi works her mojo on Gryfter's urn to see if she can get him to show up.
Despite his fatigue, Charon tries to cook breakfast for everybody.
Reviews of the french toast are not favorable. Nobody likes it but Cheesy and Terrik.
I get notified that Dei's audition is in an hour, so I have to switch away from Household 1 for a bit. It's a good thing I did, too, she's just wandering the neighborhood instead of getting ready.
Dei will perform best if she shows up to the audition confident. I have her psych herself up in the mirror before heading out.
Everybody else in Household 4 goofs off until Gas and DarkAudit head off to work.
Man, is Bubble ever NOT jogging?
I have the three NEETs of household 4 play some cards to boost Tin's logic and also so they can socialize and get to be better friends.
Dei got the gig. That means I'll probably have to switch back to Household 4 again tomorrow to make her do her thing properly.
DA has a potential drama issue at work, but it all goes ok.
It just seems to be a good day to be Squidley.
Dei is monopolizing the living room mirror to practice her acting for the commercial shoot, so Celt Z has to practice her seduction on the bathroom mirror.
To advance his aspiration, at some point, Jwhouk IS going to need a job. Let's find him something interesting to do.
This should do.
Since the astronaut path wants him to play chess on his own time, he joins Tin for a game.
It took some doing, but Dei's acting skill does eventually improve.
Celt Z gets chased out of the bathroom by Tin being all pissy.
You know what, it'd just be easier to get a second mirror for the living room. Celt Z discovers her perfume actually also makes a pretty decent breath spray, apparently.
The tandem twitterpation training pays off, and both girls are ready to mingle. But where? And with who?
Meanwhile, General Specific apparently forgot he was supposed to go to work today. Ooops.
Wasabi wants to party. She calls up all the gals she knows, even the ones she doesn't particularly get along with.
BIG GIRLS' NIGHT OUT AT THE DANCE CLUB! WOOO
The DJ is bumpin and the tunes are thumpin and everybody's jumpin gettin pumped, pumped, pumped.
Cog has apparently snuck in later and hides in the corner. Keeping an eye on his wife maybe?
Well, he also manages to find a little something he can enjoy, too...
Give that man one little drink and suddenly he's channeling Travolta.
Oh, so Bubble DOES do something besides jog.
As the party winds down, everybody seems to have enjoyed themselves, and lingers around to socialize.
There is a minor incident however when Celt Z accidentally walks in on Jun in the bathroom. Awkwaaard!
This party has given Wasabi a nice reputation boost.
She and Jun get home from the club around 10. Wasabi's still got some moxy to strut. Jun is exhausted and heads straight to bed.
Apparently General Specific did NOT get fired for being several hours late to work today. Cheesy NOM NOM NOM. Terrik has been goofing off all day.
Wasabi is so pumped up she goes on a cleaning rampage.
Charon possesses the bathroom sink, and it breaks. Whups.
So, while Terrik, Wasabi, and GenSpec chat and watch TV...
... Cheesy and Charon tackle the bathroom situation.
And using the parts left over, Cheesy upgrades the toilet that gets the most traffic in the house, just to maybe head off some problems before they back up, figuratively and literally.
Gryfter's shade arrives, and he's pissed off. With one fell swoop, he breaks the sink and the shower in another bathroom, and hovers there fuming.
Terrik's a smooth talker, let's get him to assuage Gryfter's unrest.
Huh, that was easy.
Well, Gryfter, you broke it, you fix it. Welcome back to the household.
When he gets done upgrading that toilet, Cheesy comes and helps.
Charon plays some foosball... his way.
Having finished their repairs, Gryfter and Cheesy celebrate their renewed friendship with some nerdy chess.
Terrik has apparently decided to teach Luca to dance.
Tonight's "Four guys who apparently aren't going to bed" brought to you by DUNCAN HILLS COFFEE. It's blacker than the blackest black times infinity. Duncan Hills will wake you from a thousand deaths.

That looks pretty true to life....there was this one time in my 20's when I was at a house party, drunk as a skunk, and all of the approved bathrooms were taken. So I just wandered into the hosts sister's bathroom and did my business while she was in the middle of taking a bath.
I was pretty drunk. I remember slurring out something like "I'm really sorry, but I really gotta piss. Just look at the wall."
Surprisingly, there were no repercussions, and I don't even recall her yelling at me about it during the event (though, you know, I was so drunk, she might've and I just don't remember)

This is pretty much all of Mr. Z and I's bathroom interactions. He doesn't believe that bathroom time is Me Time, and I've given up on him ever learning that.
That's...frighteningly accurate.

... I forgot Adam HAD that outfit. I guess he's been to a party recently.
MikeRC is pretty down. A number of sims he's friends with have passed away recently. He stays in this funk for most of the day.
To advance his mixology aspiration, HCGLNS joins the culinary career track.
When she's making pancakes for breakfast, Dirona makes a little bit of a mess.
Emrys wants that T.
Adam helps out by refilling the ferret's food dispenser.
The problem with getting HCGLNS to practice his mixology is that he keeps stopping to sample his own handiwork.
Breakfast time!
HCGLNS takes a post-breakfast nap.
And oh yeah, it's New Year's Eve today, so everybody who has a job gets the day off, with pay.
Squidley can spend all day painting. Adam eagerly waits to sell them as she finishes, and they both get satisfaction toward their aspirations.
She does take the occasional break.
Adam is as surprised to find himself singing as anyone. Now here's a shot we need a RL expression mockup of!
Something wrong with the grill in your back yard, Joe?
A dangerous predator glides by, looking for her next catch... although if Emrys was aware of it, she'd probably want to invite her in.
Emrys tries to train Pudding out of his scratching habit. Pud's not having it.
But Emrys knows how to soothe a cranky kitty.
Over the course of the day, Dirona makes several overtures to getting MikeRC to stop moping in his room, with varying degrees of success.
This is a mutually beneficial partnership if ever there was one.
Gas joins the inexplicable barbecue. Think he's talking about Terrik here?
Grilling in the snow? It's a magic spell to summon Sara if ever there was one.
Whatcha got those sims doin' in that hot tub, Mike?
Painting is hard work, too.
MikeRC mischievously dares Dirona to go *streaking.* Dirona doesn't back down. Dei gets an eyeful.
It's all well and good for a while, but it's freakin' freezing out there! Soon I am forced to intervene to prevent Dirona from freezing to death.
Does this look like the face of embarrasment? No, it does not. Dirona got a huge kick out of that.
Dirona makes an offering at PatrThom's urn. There is a visible reaction. Maybe he'll finally show up tonight.
Adam gets a little flirty with Squidley, and HCGLNS doesn't like it. No sir.
I had moved the urns out of the way by the back door to make room on the coffee table... HCGLNS goes and possesses his in a jealous fit of pique.
Ferrets get new year's treats, too.
As an animal lover, Emrys gets aspirational satisfaction points from snuggling animals.
Animals can be a bit of work to keep, though.
MikeRC has a paranoid streak, and often thinks someone, something, or EVERYONE is out to get him.
HCGLNS's jealousy has him flirt with Dirona. [MikeRC disliked that.]
It's been a hard day of putting color to canvas, and Squidley heads off to bed at 9. It isn't long before HCGLNS joins her, and then Dirona turns in as well.
Selfie!
After midnight, an angry spirit shows up and kicks the trash can over.
MikeRC tries to soothe PatrThom's vengeful ghost, but it doesn't go well.
It kicks off a prolonged argument that severely damages their friendship, and MikeRC slinks away, dispirited.
Dirona's drama sense is tingling.
She tries HER luck at subduing the rampaging Pat.
It was super effective. Welcome back home, Pat.
Adam gets a wild notion to go make a snow angel. Seems like he really likes the snow.
Pudding goes searching for treasure in the wreckage of Patrthom's tantrum.
Oh hey, he actually found something. Huh.
Pat decides to clean up the mess he made.
Happy new year, everybody.
