A new chapter, a new torchholder! I'm passing the torch from Mountain Dew to Violet.
She rolled "slob" for her trait. Awesome. And her LTW is Firefighter Super Hero. It was the most interesting one of the five that we haven't already done. I don't know if she'll be able to do it. She'll reach the top of the career no problem, especially since she has no handiness or athletic, but rescuing 30 sims could prove problematic. We're gonna find out.
Dewy's LHPs.
"Well, good luck, Violet! And if you can't figure something out, your dad will be there to over-explain it to you."
"I'm not too worried about it."
Violet eats her cake and promptly heads over to the fire station to get a job. And do a few other things.
"Whoa! An actual shower! It might even have hot water and everything!!"
She decides to spend the night.
"Zzzzzzzz so great zzzzzzzzzz no ghosts here zzzzzzzzzzZ"
"Um, it's the middle of the night and I was sound asleep. Where is Violet? Did she even come home?"
If it were up to her, she may never go home again.
"Brrrrrrrr!! I've got to finish this before I freeze to death!"
Yeah, I'd hide out at the fire station if I were Violet, too.
Pickle's son, Guacamole, had his teen birthday, so I clicked his portrait to get a look at him.
Still looks like his dad.
Next morning,
BEEP BEEEEEP!!
"Where is she? Being late on your first day is not a good idea."
She's not coming, phantom co-worker.
Violet spent her morning working out,
And having some fun.
"I love it here!! Can I just live here at the station?"
Sure, for a little while, anyway.
Of course she does have a job to do.
"Wow, that's loud!"
"Let's do this!!"
Go be bad ass, Vi!!
"I don't see a fire. Hmmmmm, maybe inside."
"The floor is on fire? This is tile! How is it even burning?"
"Geez, someone had to have set this on purpose. I should tell Dad."
She got the fire out without issue, and got an "A" for her effort.
After spending the rest of her shift maintaining the alarm and fire truck, she called Ricky and asked him out.
"Hey, Ricky! How have you been since graduation?"
"Really good, actually. I finally feel like I'm ready to start dating again."
"Oh good! I really wanted to talk too you about that."
"Me too, but maybe tomorrow 'cause I gotta run!"
Well, at least he had a good time in the 30 sim minutes or so that they had before he took off.
Next day,
"OUCH!! Crap, Ricky didn't see that, did he?"
"That was quite a fall, Vi, are you okay?"
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine! Sometimes I take the pole a little too fast, heh-heh."
"Thanks for stopping by, Ricky!"
"No problem! I'm sorry I had to run off yesterday. I was really hoping to get to see you again."
"I'm a firefighter."
"A GORGEOUS firefighter!"
And we have the spouse for generation five!
Before she can ask him to move in..............
"Oh you've got to be kidding!!"
Date's over, kids.
"Isn't this my great-grandmother's house? Dad would point it out every time we drove by."
Yes, yes it is. Save the old homestead, Violet!!
"Hey Vi, I thought we were gonna go the Waffle House or someth...... holy shit! This house is on fire!!"
"Ricky!! What are you doing here? I'm working!!"
Apparently a fire is not enough to auto-break up a damn group.
"Hold on, firefighters actually ........ put out fires? Like, real, actual fires? That's crazy! I thought the name was ironic?"
Some firefighters do. Violet put out the fire, saved the house, AND ....
earned us a free $123.
"But we don't live here anymore, it's someone else's house now. Isn't this insurance fraud?"
Don't argue with the notifications, Vi.
"You were amazing, Violet!!"
*gross slurping noises*
Ricky is now Violet's boyfriend but I decided not to move him in at this time. They're young, I'd like Vi to get further on in her career. She lives at the firehouse during the week, now, and Ricky would just be one more failure risk to no real benefit. So we're waiting until it's time for them to have kids, or she wishes to move in with him.
The rest of the household is doing fine, considering that I'm not paying them any mind. I pop in to check on them once in awhile, when Violet is busy or can go on autonomy for a bit.
"Mmmmph!! Mm-mm-eee!!"
I have never once seen someone make a snow angel face down.
"Take me out to the baaaaallllllllgame!!"
"Perfection!"
It's not finished.
"Did I ask you?"
Hulk's twins became toddlers, so I stalked his house to get a look at them.
Clover, who has her mother's hair.
And Lantern, who also has the black hair. So adorable!
You do you, Yoda.
LOL!! Not a good year for criminals, I guess.
"My life is cold, and void of all meaning."
The gnome tries to off himself.
"Hey, y'all!! How's it going?"
"Holy crap, who is that? I don't have pants on!!"
"Uh, who are you, and what are you doing here?"
"I'm Cara Simself-Wong (of course she's related to my simself), and I'm here to listen to you play!"
"But you didn't call, or knock, or nothin'!!"
"Oh, are you supposed to do that?"
"*YAAAAWWWWWN, well it's almost midnight. I'd better go to bed. Maybe it's time for you to go, Cara."
"YEAH!! Midnight! I LOVE midnight!! Stay up with me, Barney! Let's have a snowball fight!!"
"Gee, I'm tired, too. I'm about ready to fall over."
"Okay, Pops, I'll snowball fight, but only for a few hours! I'm exhausted!!"
"I'll just watch tv for awhile, I'm not THAT tired."
"I changed my mind. I want to see what you guys are doing!"
"Good, you can snowball fight with Pop. I'm going to bed."
"Hey!! What's that behind you??"
"What??"
"Heh-heh-heh."
"Gotcha!!!!"
"AHHHH!!!!"
"Haha!! Good one, whatever your name is!!"
"HAHA!! Cara, I'm Cara."
"Okay, Cara. Don't stab me with your exhaustion bubble."
"I won't."
"........................................................................................................."
"BOO!!!!"
"AH!! You scared my false eyelash right off!!"
"This house is fun! Cold, but fun!!"
Cara just showed up and let herself in at 10:45pm. She's not a teen, so it's not like she snuck home with Barney and stayed in the yard all afternoon and evening. She spent the night outside with Seven, then ran off early in the morning.
The next morning, Violet comes home for a special occasion.
"I thought I ordered fresh pizza, not frozen."
Just put it in the fridge.
It's Barney's turn to grow up.
Yoda: "Hey everybody, I think that piece of pizza that's been stuck to the ceiling since before we were born is gonna fall!"
Violet: "Oh my god that's gross."
My simself: "This is why you idiots can't have nice things."
Here's our boy, all grown up! He got to roll his trait, so in addition to being a clumsy virtuoso who likes everything done perfectly and will happily mooch food and simoleons off of family and friends, he'll never eat meat again.
"The only meat I've ever had were those hot dogs from the festival, and were they ever nasty!!"
His lifetime wish is be a Hit Movie Composer.
After the party, Barney moves into his own house.
"Okay, I really like the outside, but there's no furniture!!"
It's full of furniture that doesn't render from the outside. Nice, expensive furniture. Violet will be jealous.
"UGH!!! I swear this damn sink breaks every.single.f-ing.day!!!"
Yoda: "LOL! Yup. Once I realized what being torchholder entailed, so glad it was Dewy and not me!! I'm gonna go home to my house with more than one bathroom, and a real shower."
"Whatever. BYE!! When can I go back to the firehouse?"
Speaking of Dewy,
Hey sweetie? That's snowmelt. You don't have to mop it up, the sun will dry it eventually. Why don't you clean up those putrid dishes on the picnic table?
"Nope. Can't have ANY puddles on any flooring."
"Look guys!! The world's not white anymore!!"
Distracting rodents are hanging on.
One household member out, a new one in, I suppose.
"Sure!! I'd love to move in with you, Violet!"
"Awesome! Are you really sure? I won't be here much for a few weeks. I'm really working hard at becoming the fire chief."
"That's okay, I don't mind. It's cool that you're working so hard to achieve your goals."
"Thank you, Ricky! Now, about your hair and clothes..............."
"OH MY GOD!! MY HAIR!! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HAIR??"
Guess who's a coward in a house full of ghosts?
Why that would be the uncontrollable Ricky!
Coming up next chapter, Violet gets back to work, sims are stupid and weird, and we get going on Generation Six.
