crossover_chick | What Do You Want To Do Today?

1955 -- Day not shown in canon. Marty and Doc presumably find time to make sure all is going to plan. Perhaps Doc sets another car on fire, I dunno.

-VD: We did not set another car on fire.-
You should have, that was a great scene.
-VD: *rolls eyes* Yes, my shocked gasp is just the height of comedy. What if I'd burned down my garage?-
-DW: . . . And there's another prompts table plotbunny.-
-VD: I should just shut up, shouldn't I?-
*giggle* Nah, I probably won't do it -- I just like entertaining these thoughts occasionally. And if I did do it, I'd make sure that you and Marty got out by driving out the DeLorean.
-VD2: You need to finish the Narbonics one first.-
There's about five million things I need to finish first, honestly. I'm gonna try to concentrate on editing "V.D." and "Boy Genius" tonight, with small doses of "Marty In Wonderland" as well.
-OD: And finally giving up on the Marty sprites so you can post?-
Stop that!
-M: Honestly, Vic, we won't be offended.-
-M2: You draw a better Doc anyway, we look a little weird.-
Hmph.
-HD: Nice to see you're paying so much attention to my fandom right now.-
I can't help it -- you're kind of like OckDoc in that you're a plot bunny that wouldn't go away.
-HD: *suddenly concerned* I didn't make you sick, did I DocWolf?-
-DW: *grin* No, I'm fine. I think she learned her lesson after OckDoc.-
Yeah, better to get it down than give one of my muses an upset tummy.
-MHG: Hey, when are we getting added to the muse page?-
Well, you need pictures -- I'll work on that this weekend. I'll ask Ally if I can use her versions for that, I don't think she'll mind.
-HD: *making everyone move down one* She seems quite enthusiastic, from what we've seen.-
Yeah, it's nice. :)

-RPD: *eyes the cut text* What happened in Sims?-
Oh nothing. Goldie Wilson just came out of the closet.
-RPD: Wah?-
-TD: On what do you base THAT observation?-
Well, when I went in to play him, his wants rerolled, as they do. I got two "buy a car" (one general, one specific price range), make 100 simoleons, and --
Buy a Flower Bench.
Keep in mind, this is a male Fortune sim. I've seen "buy a robot bench" for knowledge sims, but never a flower bench. So, just for shits and giggles, after having him gain some logic

and have breakfast, I buy him a flower bench. He immediately rolls the want to get a bronze flower-making badge. I'm giggling madly now over "gay" Goldie, who just wants to make pretty flower arrangements. Male Fortune Sim, people.

I had him make a few arrangements before Seamus happened to walk by. I sent Goldie out to greet him, and they had a nice talk. Cue LOLing when Seamus and Goldie bring up flowers. "Oh, don't pollute the pretty flowers!"

Seamus also agonized over something -- I think he didn't like Goldie's flamingo. O.o

After Seamus left, I had Goldie lounge on his bed and read to gain comfort.

Now, I couldn't get a good shot -- but is it just me, or is that book UPSIDE-DOWN?
-D: *looks* Great Scott, I believe it is.-
Thought so. . . After that extreme intellectual excercise, back to the pretty flowers. :p

He was making daisies when I saw a familiar stray -- why, it's Verne's friend Tiffany from Twin Oaks Park! Or, at least, her Hill Valley equivalent. I had Goldie go out and say hello.

A human girl walked by as Tiffany chased her tail -- Christy Stratton, Clara's friend from work. I had Goldie say hello to her too. And hello, lightning bolts in the interaction menu! Time to get to know this gal better!

Or, at least, try to. Tiffany ended up constantly foiling him. First, she started destroying his chair as he tried to talk to Christy, forcing him to end the conversation to scold her.

Then, of course, I had to make them like each other again, via treat and razzle.

Then, while Goldie tried to play chess with Christy, Tiffany started chewing on his bed, prompting ANOTHER scolding session. Christy went to the bathroom while I had Goldie serve up gelatin (he was getting pretty hungry. Tiffany went to see Clara about reading Goldie's newspaper and ended up cowering before the schoolteacher.
-WRM: She is in no way that scary.-
-OD: *he and tentacles shrug* You haven't seen MY version yet.-

THEN, as Goldie and Christy sat down to gelatin together (with Christy thinking this flower-making Fortune Sim was totally hot), Tiffany decided to roll in the trash! Which meant he had to go scold her again! Luckily, she left after that.

Finally alone, Goldie and Christy both help themselves to two servings of gelatin appiece and chatter on. They're one-bolters -- not perfect, but useful to know.

Goldie still dreams of Linda McFly though.

-M: Ew.-
Well, perhaps she'll buy his flowers. *giggle* I still can't get over that.
I also visited the Mad Hill Valley Town Square, designing that version of the Essex. It's a bit small, but it sort of resembles a movie theater.

Exterior -- done in white slant paneling, as I finally actually remember the Essex is whitish and I liked the look.

Interior -- includes two pinball machines (all theaters now have arcades), a "concessions stand" (actually just a counter and two of the frozen food fridges), and three "theaters." I suspect Sims will like it for the pinball more than anything else.

I also added nice, single-occupancy bathrooms to the courthouse. Sims need places to pee, ya know.
-RPD: Not too shabby. Though I'd like to see the actual neighborhood in action.-
-TD: Same here! Sounds very Sparky.-
LoL, well, the local college IS Trans Poly U. . . . I should be starting on that soon, don't worry. :) I just hope seeding Marty into the adoption pool works out. . . .
-OD: I'm sure it will.-

Anyway, off to do the stuff I've been neglecting.
-VD: At last.-
-TD: Yes, the FanFic group is pretty dead right now.-
I know! At least greenbay's still posting. I'd put up Chapter 9 sooner, but someone complained that the story right now is a bit "Bob was there too," and Chapter 9 has a LOT of that at the very beginning. Granted, things go wacky at the theater, but still. . . .
-TD: It's my story, and I say it's good.-
LOL, well, glad YOU like. But let's see if I can at least reword it so it's a little -- shorter.
-VDM: *mock horror* Shorter? "Boy Genius?"-
Hey, it's on page 132 already. 8 more and it beats out "World of Darkness."
-VD2: *waves a white flag*-
-HD: *offers tea* Here, have this.-
-VD2: Thanks. *gets a bottle of blood and starts mixing*-
-HD: That's always a bit disturbing.-
-VD2: *shrug* I can't really digest it otherwise.-
-MHG: It's wonderful how you've all accepted us.-
-HD: *points to me* I thought SHE never would.-
Well, it helps that I found out that Chris Lloyd was IN a production of "Alice In Wonderland."
-HD: O.O-
-VuM: Really? Was he the Mad Hatter?-
No, but he got the OTHER role that I can see Doc in -- in "Through the Looking Glass," there's a White Knight who's always talking about his inventions.
-D: That poor guy is never going to play anyone but us again, is he?-
Yeah, he did you a little too well. Martin Short got the Mad Hatter (as well as the Chinless Idiot, whoever he is -- I resent him being "paired" with the Hatter). Oh, hey, Gene Wilder was the Mock Turtle! I ought to see this thing. *reads the quotes* *giggle* Yeah, I think I saw this at Blockbuster once, might want to rent it. . . .
-HD: You should. I always WONDERED why the White Knight looked rather like me. Confused the White King rather badly.-
I'm sure it did. For those who are Wonderland-illiterate, Hatter and March Hare are the only two characters from the original Wonderland to appear in "Through the Looking Glass," -- they're the White King's messengers.
-HD: *frown* He keeps misprouncing our names.-
Well, he's very British, you see.
ANYWAY, I gotta write.
