How To Build An Airship
Jan. 3rd, 2006 10:08 pmLooking to me like it's going to take a mess of columns and a lot of cash.
-D: O.o?-
I've changed my plans for Gil and Agatha in Strangetown -- I want them to live in an airship house. I designated the lot and named it: Airship Heterobach. (Wulfendyne didn't sound quite right) I also played around, designing half of the house. There'll be a small undercarriage to get into the "blimp," which would have the main rooms. To whit, the lot is long and thin. Here's what I came up with:
It's still in the planning stages, naturally. I'm not sure what kind of roof to put on it yet, or how big it should be. *is hoping she'll figure this out when Agatha and Gil move in*
-TD: You're going to need to motherlode that or wait a LONG while for it to get completely built.-
LoL, yes, I know. On the plus side, Agatha and Gil, as college grads, should be able to get high-paying jobs very quickly. That'll definitely help.
-TD: Good point.-
:) Anyway, besides messing around with Gil and Agatha's future home, I also played the Browns. They had a nice quiet Monday while getting acclimated to their new house. Everyone socialized for a bit, then I had Marty call a friend, George and Doc practice Charisma, Lorraine harvest their money trees, and let Eileen wander about.
Doc achieved a nice milestone -- he maxed out his Charisma and thus, all skills. And since I earlier changed his LTW with the college clock (I miss that thing, but it's not updated for Nightlife yet I don't think), he's now in permanent platinum. Yeah baby!
Clara came over to visit, and as she's friends with three people there, I had her in for lunch. And yes, my hypothesis was correct -- George is apparently attracted to her. (I don't know how many bolts, since I didn't have him do "scope room" or "check Sim out.")
-M: *sarcasm* So nice to know Mom and Dad like my best friend and his wife so much.-
After lunch, Clara admired Doc's guitar skills and joined him on piano.
Doc had to leave for work shortly after, but Lorraine took his place in the mini-band.
Clara eventually left, and the family went back into its routine. I had Marty spend the day painting a picture in hopes of it being a masterpiece (he's hard to keep in high aspiration -- and since he's now only 4 days away from adult and thus must be sent off to college soon, I'd like him to be in high aspiration). No luck though. Eileen studied some skills, then met with the passing Blair, one of Marty's friends.
Although he at first annoyed her, they got along in a conversation, and she seems to like him a little. He could be possible boyfriend/first kiss material.
Speaking of that sort of thing, Lorraine had a want to woo-hoo, so she and George broke in their new bed. :p
-M2: MUST you tell us these things?-
-VuM: Let alone PHOTOGRAPH them?-
The day ended with Marty eating salad, Doc playing the piano for fun, and Eileen painting her own picture.
-VM: When does SimMe go to college?-
Soon -- I'll have you gather up some scholarships. I'm almost positive I'll be sending you, Jennifer, and J.C. along in a group, so you should be able to afford your own place.
-M: Cool.-
*notices plot bunny sniffing at slipper* You again? Scat, darn it!
-OD: What is it?-
-DW: *sniffs* A cartoon plot bunny -- and an involved one too!-
-OD: Hey, finish up "Warsies Again" first.-
-DW: You don't have to worry, this is Foglio-level stuff.-
I know, that's why I hate it. I think I need to go over to the GG Fanfic group and pawn it off on somebody.
-VD: It's a Girl Genius cartoon?-
Sort of like one of those extra short stories you'd get with a collection. You see, I was randomly browsing the net and I stumbled upon a site with annotated fairy tales. One of them was "Puss in Boots."
-Docs: *all* Krosp.-
Krosp. The plotbunny's a reimaging of the story, with the gender roles switched and main characters in the main parts:
Krosp -- Puss in Boots
Agatha -- The Mistress, Duchess of Heterodyne
Klaus Wulfenbach -- the King
Gil Wulfenbach -- the Prince
Othar Trygvaassen -- the Ogre
And some of the magical effects would be replaced by Sparkiness.
-TD: That sounds pretty interesting.-
Yeah, I know. Problem is, you guys KNOW what my drawing skills are. This sort of thing requires the master's touch. *pokes the plot bunny* Go away.
-DW: I notice a sudden spate of TeenDoc drawing bunnies, any reason for that?-

bttfbabe sent the crit for Chapter 3 today. :)
-DW: Ahhhh.-
-VD2: Hey, don't forget, you're writing on "Dusky Past" too.-
I'm keeping up with that, don't worry! The Part III soundtrack helps.
Stuff to click:
Stupid Plot Tricks Lists -- You know the Evil Overlord list, where it says what you shouldn't do if you become one? This has that and the corresponding lists for
Heros, Henchmen, Sidekicks, and others. Quite good. :)
Turn To 10 -- Go to Images in the News and click on the link "Woman Hopes Dolphin Groom Is Good Catch." This had better be a joke or the "wife" had better get help STAT.
-D: O.o Someone married a DOLPHIN?-
Yup. And what also caught my eye is that the male dolphin is named Cindy. So this poor dolphin had no dignity to begin with. *patpats the poor dolphin*
