Catch up for extra credit:
[ 1.1 ] [ 1.2 ]
Warnings: some hardcore macking and Sens sitting on his bucket. Plus, Noodle swears a couple of times. Yeah.
I tried to level up my screenshot skillz, too. Switch to options mode for the capture, then let Snagit do a batch edit. Nerdishness points +1.
It's another quiet night at the Muscles camp. Notice how I don't even try and call it a house anymore.
Noodle passes the time YOWLING LIKE MAD on top of the mini-fridge.
Noodle: SHIT SHIT IT'S TOO FAR TO JUMP! D:
Is it wrong that I left him up there for awhile just because he has a cute panic face?
Sens had a solid night in his tent after he managed to kick Yuuko out of his bathroom.
(Alright, I guess the term 'bathroom' is redundant when you only have one room. Still. ._.)
Derek: Yo.
Sens: ...how the hell did he know I'm in here?
Eventually, Sens gets up and putters about watering plants.
Sens: Hey, can I buy a coffeemaker? I miss having a cup in the morning...
NO, BITCH. >_<
Sens: :(
Meanwhile, Noodle suffers through a fit of depression due to his being stuck on the fridge for most of the previous night.
Noodle: What use is it all, anyways? If I were to jump through this gaping maw in the roof, would Sens even notice? :(
Poor Noodle. Someone's got a low Social meter.
...wait, NOODLE, NO!
DON'T DO IT!
Noodle: Relax, man, this barbecue doesn't even work for whatever reason.
...oh yeah.
I don't know why I don't just sell that thing off. >_>
Sens hits the bucket to check out the quarterly. I'm not sure if it's the news or the painful-looking bucket that is causing him such discomfort.
A few hours later, Mina strolls past the lot!
...Again!
Mina's Stalking skill has improved!
Well, Sens knows he can take her, so he invites her in...er, out for cereal.
Mina: ...er, this cereal is...very nice. What's it called?
Sens: Dunno. Yuuko brought me some date flowers last night. I just shook the crumbly bits off into a bowl.
Mina: Kay, I'm just going to put this on the ground now.
And then...the dire happens.
GlaDos: Good morning, citizens of [INSERT TOWN HERE].
Just imagine Black Magic Woman or something suitable playing in the background, okay?
It's katu_sims 's GlaDos Dork. Well, kind of. She's not a Servo, but she's still evil as hell. >_>.
Case in point: she made a beeline to steal my newspaper, but I was having none of that, so I distracted her with a bowl of cereal.
I sense a little tension in the air. ._. Noodle seeks to smooth things over by Running Around Crazily, but soon gives up and buggers off to lie on the sidewalk.
GlaDos: I would like to know what this cereal is called.
Sens and Mina share a glance.
Sens: ...Corn Flakes.
GlaDos: It is tasty cereal. I must buy it.
GlaDos packs in two bowls.
Okay, I'm scared for where this is headed. >_>.
Never lust after a mad Aperture Science robot. It's just general advice.
Although she does get points for cuddling Noodle...
Well, Sens tells those bitches to shove off sees his guests off because he has to go to work.
YUSH.
Well, Sens was going to host a rave or something in celebration of PROMOTIONZ, but then Yuuko called and asked him downtown. I had to accept...come on, she made the first move there. What more do you want?
I do have Noodle tag along though, just for the hell of it. :D
The cabbie doesn't seem the least bit concerned that a kitty is pouncing into her taxi. Oddly enough, she's the same Sim that drives Sens to work. ._. Strange.
Noodle: CAR RIDE CAR RIDE CAR RIDE?!?!
Noodle's way too cool for school.
They head down to Sim Center North. I haven't been there before, but it's actually a lot nicer than I expected. Awesome stuff for an EAxis lot.
Sens greets his date with a noogie.
Sens: HAY GURL.
Noodle lurks disapprovingly in the background.
Yuuko: ow that hurt so much but OH EM GEE HE'S SO DREAMY
Sens takes to the bridge and tries out a few dirty jokes, which--as always--stem from soccer balls.
Yuuko nods and smiles, and tries to ignore him and look at the view.
Nonchalantly, Sens strolls over to a heap of junk and sets it ablaze.
Burning Teddy Bear: OH GOD YOU FUCKER WHY'D YOU DO THAT D:
Sens: *makes monkey face* Doo dah doo...is someone talking to me?
BTB: I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU!
Yuuko finally sees fit to join him. Then the epic happens:
Sens/Yuuko: BONFIRE DANCE! ^_^
I honestly didn't know this was an interaction. I'm definitely setting more things ablaze from now on!
Sens: *jumps* WHOO!
Yuuko: Word.
Their dance is so epic that even the Count has to sneak in for some bromancing.
Count: Hey, epic jump there, mate!
Sens: Why thank you, Master of the Undead!
Okay, the Count totally has a man-crush going on there. He can't hide it.
But not even sycophantic vampires can stunt this date, apparently.
'Aww'.
Oh, come on, this is the definition of romance right here. Even I think so. ._.
'Course Sens has to ruin it all with his saliva.
Burning Teddy Bear: Stop macking and SAVE ME, DAMNIT!
Obviously, they don't.
They head on over to the band shell. Well, it's less a 'shell' and more a...three walls that would likely have shitty acoustics, but what the hell.
Sens: I wrote this song for you, baby. *strums out Smoke on the Water*
Yuuko: Aww! *farts hearts*
His girlfriend tips him one hundred bucks. :D I like where this is headed.
Soon after, Pax joins him on the drums. She's another Asylum alumni who not exactly crazy, but has massive social anxiety. Apparently she's able to cope with it now and perform extemporary in front of a crowd.
Actually, the girl there with the funky hair is also an Asylum victim, Illusion. She's just batshit insane. :D All the crazies come to the park today.
Eventually, Yuuko hops on the bass (and SKILLS! Good girl!). Some random townie hits up the piano. Literally..she has no creativity, it seems. >_<
*Summer of '69 plays in the background*
Sens: THOSE WERRRRE THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIIIIIFE!~
This number is Count-approved.
Count: Vun! Vun hundert dollars! Mwahahah! :D
I KNEW the Count had a thing for Sens!
Annnnd...this is where I decide that Yuuko's a keeper.
Peculiar nose bridge and all.
Sens copes with this realisation in the only way he knows how.
Sens: NOOGIE! :D
Meanwhile, Noodle's still hanging around. He passed out for the first couple hours, hence the lack of kitty plot.
Noodle: GTFO I'm farming trolls under the bridge.
Ah, the default AL ceiling. Because all bridges have stucco underneath. ._.
Noodle proceeds to play in the carnage resultant from the bonfire.
Burnt Teddy Bear: I still hate you. x_X
The band finishes up their last number, and Sens asks Yuuko home. But first...
Wild CRUMPLEBOTTOM appeared!
Go! Sens!
Sens used Hug > Friendly!
Apparently the old bag doesn't even let the rejected animation take place. Lame...
Crumblebottom: YOU KIDS THESE DAYS AND YOUR NICE INTENTION OF GIVING A FRIENDLY HUG TO A SENIOR CITIZEN! WHY, BACK IN MY DAY WE WOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT BACK AND SHOT FOR SUCH PLEASANT, POSITIVE ACTIONS! I DON'T KNOW WHAT GETS INTO YOU TRYING TO MAKE FRIENDS OR AT THE VERY LEAST MAKE SOMEONE'S DAY A GOOD ONE!
Sens/Yuuko: ...heheh...
Well...they get home and head straight for the couch. But...um...
Sens: Oh, my darling...I straddle the arm of this couch and break half of the bones in my arms for you!
Yuuko: Oh, Sens! That's so romantic...I break my left wrist for you, darling!
...I'm never placing a couch on a diagonal again. >_<
I proclaim an end to potential sexy times for the moment and have Sens whip them up some good eats.
Yuuko: HAHA OMG do you really call that salad?
Sens: Don't make me beat you with this wooden spoon. >:O
Yuuko: Save that for later.
...oh yeah.
Sens: OH BBY try some of this, even though it's virtually identical to that which is on your own plate.
He even clears her plate, but that's about equal parts chivalry and copping a feel with his elbow.
Well, needless to say, sexy times occur. I'm not going to screenshot every last occurance of WooHoo because there are only so many sex jokes I can crack.
Legally, anyways.
Morning comes. I buy Sens a telescope so he doesn' have to bolt to a comm lot just to play chess for PROMOTIONZ.
He also learns a valuable life lesson because of it.
Sens: OH GAWD BRAIN BLEACH BRAIN BLEACH!
This is why you never creep the Crumplebottom estate, kids.
Sens turns to the beauty of nature (well, harvesting bland tomatoes and mary jane, anyways) to cope with his emotional trauma.
Sens: It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.
Why, yes. I do plan on saying that every time he gets a badge! :D
The morning wanes. Sens heads off to work.
Random Townie: OH BAI random guy I've never met but whose house I'm currently wandering about.
RT: Day-um, he was sexy even though I only saw him through a car window.
I don't want to know.
This I do want to know.
This is the third one of these in four Sim days. ^_^.
Sens gets the sexy mid-life crisis wheels without having a crisis or being middle-aged!
But with five grand and a half-day off, I think it's time to hire a contrac--
Sens: NO WAY, BITCH.
...oh, fine, build it yourself, it's not like I have to live there.
Sens: :D
Ye gods.
This doesn't even make sense. You can't just build things like that! It takes decades of weathering and neglect for a building to become that wrecked.
Sens: Oh, don't question me. You know it won't get you anywhere.
Sigh.
Buildspam time!
Back view of the 'house'.
Privacy? What eez zis privacy?
Here's the first room. It's mostly unchanged, 'cept I moved the shower/bukkit and it leads to two other rooms.
Here lies the bathroom, replete with forgotten floor tiles and shrubbery.
Sens boldly declares his penchant for fire hazards once again.
Sometimes, I wish lamps could start blazes in this game. >_> It'd be hilarious.
Annnd here's where the magic happens. :D
The bed's another thing from home. Same with the rug. I'm a cheater like that.
I just noticed that the cheapo floor mirror there is the only one I use in any of my houses. I just dislike the more expensive ones. They look so...well, expensive. >_<.
Oh, and the painting's him as a child makin' art with his mommy Syla. :D
'Closet'.
And yeah, Sens did paint a picture of the maid's FRICKING BURLY BICEP.
._. I dunno, he was looking for some still life to paint and the maid was scrubbing hardcore, so...
And of course, the roof offers plenty of spaces for the traditional stalking to take place.
You have to admit, the lighting is kind of pretty at night.
Noodle breaks in the new digs by breaking in the new garbage can.
Noodle: THIS DOES NOT ABIDE!
...what the hell, Noodle? You haven't done this to anything else before.
Noodle: Why'd you have to buy the cheapo can?
Oh yeah. You're finicky. I remember now. ._.
Invective against the garbage can complete, Sens and Noodle spend a quiet night in bed.
Morning comes, and Sens goes to mingle with the walkbys.
Aw, hell no. Not again. D:
Nobody interesting swings by, so Sens throws a quick morning breakfast par-tay.
Of course, only Mina and GlaDos swing by. Not even his mother comes. That's just sad. ._.
Sens: Oh, shut up! It's eleven in the morning, they're all probably at work or something...
Keep telling yourself that, kid.
Sens and Mina whip a couple of darts. Or at least attempt to.
Mina: HAHAHA THAT WAS SO FRICKING LAME :D
Sens: You know, Mina, if you're going to mock my skillz I don't think right next to the dartboard is the smartest place to stand. 'Accidents' may occur.
Meanwhile, GlaDos is having a gay old time on the ballet barre.
GlaDos: This activity is scintillating! :D
Sens goes to chat her up before her hygiene plummets and she stinks up the place.
GlaDos: You know, Sens, I am really an Aperture Science Genetic Lifeform and Disc Operating System.
Sens: ...a robot?
GlaDos: Correct!
Sens: No shit. I never would have gathered that from your speech or the seams on your face.
Sens: Hey! I bet you were built by the government as a top-secret agent or assassin or something cool like that.
GlaDos: D: Negative! I am a construction of Aperture Science, Mechanogenetic Division! I do Science and bake cake!
Sens: Science?! I LOVE Science! :D
GlaDos: Yes, Science is decidedly beautiful. I would like to perform an experiment in the name of it. You may kiss me now.
Aw, shit.
Aw, shit.
Aw, SHIT. D:
I can't help but feel sorry for poor Yuuko right here.
Plus, GlaDos appears to be some kind of crazed Aperture Science Cougar Simulator on top of everything else. >_> And now thanks to Rule 34, there is porn of that.
(Which I think I just made, having taken before and after shots of it... D:)
And this poster on Sens' bedroom wall shows helpful diagrams of what they were doing in there.
Just in case you didn't get it.
Woo-friggin-Hoo. ._.
Well, Sens boots her robotic arse out of bed in shame. However, GlaDos appears to carry on a little tradition going on around here:
GlaDos: This bathroom is a marvel of modern Science! It must be the pride and joy of [INSERT TOWN HERE].
Sens: Thanks! :D
GlaDos leaves. But...the thing is, she swings by later that day. Along with Yuuko.
Sens: Oh shit.
Yuuko/GlaDos: I'm pregnant.
