crossover_chick | Christmas Time

And I'm BACK on the American McGee's Alice kick. My brain makes absolutely no sense.
-HD: And you people wonder why I'M so strange.-
-WRM: Well, it should help a bit with "Marty In Wonderland," right?-
-DW: I'd think she'd have to be in a book/Disney mood for that.-
No, no, I can work with McGee. If I can poke myself into writing anything, that is.
-OD: At least you wrote something on "The Gift and the Curse" today.-
-D: And I suppose we have updates to look forward to as well.-
Correct -- first chapter of "Marty In Wonderland," the drabbles88 fic, the

backtothefanfic fic, and the piece of art I did whip up in time for Christmas.
-OD: *looks skeptically at sketchbook*-
You'll see later, I plan on uploading it tomorrow -- the two Christmassy fics go up on the 24th, along with the Christmas

revison_doc update.

This week's Hill Valley visit was to the Browns, because I had to give them a few things.
-RPD: Let me guess, you pulled Einstein from the Breed Bin again.-
Yuppers. :) And not only that, I bought them a DeLorean!

-TD: Oooh, looks nice.-
Thanks -- I love that modder. :) Now somebody just has to make a modified mesh with BTTF components. Doc was naturally happy to see his beloved dog.

Clara was less happy that Einstein apparently didn't approve of her choice of furniture.

The kids got along fine with Einstein -- Martina praised him for eating from his dish.

Of course, that doesn't stop him from howling for omlettes. (He kept sniffing them, which I thought was cute.)

After breakfast, Doc and Clara did some flirting while Jules played with Einstein. Everybody in the family wants to be friends with the dog. :p

Then as the kids headed off to school and Clara headed off to work, he went and chawed on his bone.

He chilled out in his doggy bed as Doc played solo chess -- and yay, he's finally managed to max out his Logic! :D I'm so proud. . . .

Doc gave Einstein a treat while in a good mood -- unfortunately, he had to lecture him soon after, as Einy peed on the floor. Eww.

Then it was naptime -- Doc settled in on the couch, Einstein hopped up on the bed.

Jules and Verne came home from school -- as both had wants to eat chili con carne, I had Verne whip up a batch. Verne also came home with an extra mechanical point from winning a school science fair.

As they settled in, Doc headed off to work in his new DeLorean. :) That's sure to impress the higher-ups.

Clara came home, as did Martina -- the kids started funning up while Clara tried her hand at robot building. Wasn't very successful.

Einy, on the other hand, checked out local stray Tiffany. He was not impressed.

Night fell, the computer did the blue screen thingy but didn't crash (now THERE'S a change), and Doc came home, decapitating himself with the DeLorean door. It's WEIRD to see it open from the side.

Worth it, though -- he's managed to max the elder Time Traver career! And this earns him a hug from Martina, awww.

A save (the game does do the blue screen once more, but doesn't crash -- phew!) Clara and Einy make a fresh start with a razzle.

Then Clara, Jules, and Verne get in some skill time before everyone goes to bed.

Einstein natters around for a while, then an early-rising Martina (who had to do her homework) plays with him a bit.

He makes his own fun with her large mirror as she goes back to sleep.

Final save, yay.
-VD2: I'm just glad the computer didn't restart. We probably would have heard the cursing over in California.-
Heh, I know. I don't even know what causes the blue screen problem -- it seems to be random. *grumble*
However, I decided to brave going over to Eureka to complete another building project in Mad Hill Valley. I renamed Courthouse Park to Darwin Park and went in.

Here's the completed park, complete with corner pond, hottubs, bathroom shack, barbeque area, swings, and stuff for pets.

Walls down for the bathroom shack, and a slightly closer view of it all. I wanted to make it a place for people and pets to chill. And once Seasons comes out (date now Feb 27th - early!), the pond can be used for fishing.
-RPD: You're really gung-ho about this gardening stuff, aren't you?-
Oh yes. Back in Sims 1, the original VampDoc ended up living entirely off of the produce he himself grew. I plan for

revison_doc to have plenty of fresh food on hand, and of course Eureka's supposed to be a more rural community, most people WOULD have gardens. . . .
-D: In short, this is the EP you really wanted.-
Yeah, I guess. The only thing that would be better would be to have Makin' Magic in Sims 2. LOVED that EP. Ah well.

Better get to writing something, the muses are looking threatening.
-VD: We just like having our stories done.-
-TD: And I'd really like to know at least where "Boy Genius" is going now.-
I'm still planning for an firefight on Castle Wulfenbach -- you're just going to have to get to the Castle a different way. And likely, Klaus will not be involved.
-VDM: Do I still --
Yes, Gil will take over for that.
-VDM: *frown* Damn. Thought I dodged a bullet -- literally and figuratively.-
Heh, sowwy. I'm planning on rereading all of GG canon around New Year's -- I can give you a better picture then.
-TD: Ahh, I see.-
-DW: All right, let's see how fast she brings out Spider Solitaire. . . .-
