You Go Girls

The Strangetown Clayton/Lloyds had a good Wednesday today. Everyone's getting along quite well at home -- Gypsy and Jennifer shared a game of red hands, Mysteria played chess with Jennifer (I'm trying to get her to max out her Logic), and Josie sat with Clara at lunch.

The day started off with lots of fun activities for most of the girls (a tired Clara ended up sleeping in). Josie and Jennifer played on the instruments while Gypsy got mean with the pinball machine.

-D: o.O Is she rearing up to kick it?-
Heh, yeah. She plans a nasty game.
-VD: Where was Mystie?-
Enjoying the bubble blower, though she did stop to make herself a nice omlette.

Gypsy also called her coworker Adelaide and chatted for a while before work.

Eventually, Clara was left alone as everyone else headed to work or school. I had her paint, switching her still-life of the hot tub for one of the bubble blower (original glitched a little).

Shortly before lunch, I got a chance card for Josie -- a number of soliders had been found passing information to the enemy. However, one solider was a prominent general's son. Josie could either book them or pardon them. I nervously went with book -- and was rewarded with Josie exposing the General as a traitor and getting promoted to Astronaut for her troubles. Yay!
-VD2,VM,VJ: *applaud Josephine*-

Josie had her lunch and hung out with Clara as Jennifer came home. She brought along Emmy Tsang -- they got along well. I got the relationship into the 30s, as I'm sure Jennifer will have a want to be friends with her soon enough. (Family Sims display a couple of Popularity Sim tendencies, including wants to be friends with everyone)

Mystie was the next to return home, with a promotion to Professional Party Guest. Good for you, Mystie, you've maxed out your career!
-VD: That's great!-
-M2: Way to go Mystie!-

As a reward I fufilled a sillier want and let her play on the couch -- somebody explain to me how she's bouncing on wood.

Gypsy also came home with a promotion to Medical Researcher. She studied while the other girls ate. Jennifer also had Marty over, as I noticed their relationship was beginning to dip a little.
-J: Can't have that.-

As the night wore on, I had Gypsy and Mysteria study cleaning while Josie and Clara took baths and Jennifer did her homework. Clara then did a little stargazing before going off to work while Josie and Mystie drank some juice.

Eventually everyone wandered off to bed except for Gypsy -- I had her push on, and she eventually maxed her cleaning skill. :D Should make the top spot real soon.
-D: That's my girl. :)-

While she was doing that, I gave the castle a slight remodel -- it's now two stories high, with a top room containing all the career rewards they have on the lot.

They have Lorraine's old candy machine, Clara's Biotech Station, Josie's obstacle course, Mystie's planter, Gypsy's surgical station, and the Love Tub for relaxation.
-TD: Interesting. I take it you'll use the rewards to eventually max their skills?-
That's the plan.
Special bonus pic -- the Sims 2 DeLorean!

-OD: . . . Doesn't look complete.-
That's what I thought, actually. They couldn't make the Mr. Fusion white at least? Oh well.
-TD: It looks a little small too.-
It's a decorative object, not an actual car. Though, honestly, driveable Nightlife DeLorean would be teh win.

*has written on "BTTX-2," "Boy Genius," and "V.D." and has completed "Dingbots in Love"*
-DW: You know, I thought you getting more hours at work would make you LESS productive.-
I thought so too. But better more productive me to avoid the poking stick.
-TD: *pout* I wanted to try that out.-
Build me a model of this automatic tent invention I created for you in "Boy Genius" instead. *hands plans*
-TD: *perks up* Okay! *starts modifying plans to be more Sparky*-
-VD: Glad to see you writing on "V.D."-
Rewriting actually -- I'm redesigning a lot of Chapter 4. Basically making the situation a little less calm.
-M2: . . . You're playing up this whole "starving" thing, aren't you?-
The early chapters are angst! Sue me!
-VD: *headdesk*-
-VD2: At least my other self in "Dusky Past" just met Clara.-
Yeah, speaking of which, I have my backtothefanfic challenge idea. Do the four main "Doc's Girls" -- Clara, Mysteria, Josephine, and Gypsy -- and their first impressions on seeing their Doc. Since it was love at first sight for all of them --
-D: O.O What? Really?!-
Well, crush at first sight for Gypsy at least -- I think it fits in with the theme. The title is "Liquid Chocolate."
-OD: Focusing around our eyes, I see.-
Hey, you have pretty eyes. *grin*
