The Mrmpfle Legacy: Chapter 1.1
Uhm. Hi! *shy wave* Welcome to my first legacy. I'm not exactly following any specific rules or handicaps, it's more legacy-lite than anything else, but it's my first time with all this so it should be fun. :)
As a bit of explanation. I started this legacy before in Sunset Valley until things went kaplooey and I had to start over. So I downloaded a custom neighbourhood and started again. And with that you know everything. So...enjoy!
In a quiet bay of the Bobanna Ocean lay a serene little town named Saskan Harbour. It was a quiet town, peaceful and happy. And the perfect place for those seeking refuge from the tragedy of the great Sunset Valley disaster of '10.
Theses survivors were given land and safekeeping. A chance at a fresh life, a new start! The opportunity to move on from the horrors they've seen! A -
Peanut: An empty lot with nothing on it?
Anna: Hush you. I was laying down some mad narrattion.
Yes. We exchange dialogue because i r ohriganale.
Peanut: Mmmhmm. I'm pretty sure no one. Anywhere. Says anything like that. And this empty lot is so not cool. I demand a house. Mansion would be preferable.
Anna: Well then you're in luck! Because I present to you....
Ahem. Drumroll please.
The legacy shack!
Peanut: Wooo. Craptastic. This should be fun.
Anna: *glares*
Well let's meet this wonderous little bundle of pixels that will be our founder. Everyone. This is Peanut Mrmpfle. She's a clumsy, artistic, elf-eared adventurer with a knack for photography and a serious case of sticky fingers. It's also her goal in life to be an awesome painter and an awesome photographer.
Peanut: Pleased to meet you.
As I said before. Peanut here was originally from Sunset Valley. And in Sunset Valley she met a man-sim. And I had a particular soft spot for said man-sim. Soooo I may have plopped him down in Saskan Harbour so they could maybe get, I dunno *shrugs* reacquainted.
Peanut: Hi. Your property stinks.
Gage: Hi. You're a person.
...we're off to a great start here.
Gage: I'm telling you. There is something so familiar about you! Talking to you is like. A giant episode of deja vu!
Peanut: I know what you mean. I'm beginning to think we have no control over our own lives. What if every moment, every action is preordained! What if some crazy person is up there, controlling our actions!
Peanut: OMG! THIS CANNOT BE GOOD!
Aww. Her disturbed face is so cute.
Gage: Eh. I'm over it.
Truth be told they both got over it quickly. They spent the rest of the afternoon gossiping about everyone in the town.
Oh. And flirting. This is Peanut's "seductive" look.
Gage doesn't seem to mind though. His kissy lips face really isn't any better.
Gage: Ooft! Moving a little fast there are we Peanut?
Pfft. He doesn't fool me. I see that grin on his face.
Peanut: Gage. I know we've only known each other about three hours but. I feel a real connection with you. Uhm. *blush* I. *goes in for kiss*
Gage: Aheehh *awkward* Uhm. Peanut. You're a real cool girl and all but I'm not really ready for something so serious.
Anna: *eyetwitch*
OMG LOOK AT HER FACE! D: Ugh. Heartbreaking.
Peanut: But..but...I thought you liked me! *wibble*
Gage: Well yea sure I do but. I'm not ready for that step.
Anna: Yea. Because a simple little kiss is ~*srs bzns*~ bitches. *pout*
Peanut: I THOUGHT YOU LIKED ME OMG FML *SOB*
Gage: There there. shit..
Luckily the two moved on from that horribly awkward moment.
Peanut: HAHAHAHA!! YOU REMEMBER THAT TIME I TRIED TO KISS YOU AND YOU TOTES REJECTED ME?!
Gage: Uh. Yea?
Peanut: Yea. That was a dick move and I'm still upset about it.
Okay. Moved on is a relative term.
Things were getting tense in the house so I sent them ~*out on the town*~
And this is too cute and totally indicative of their relationship. She's reaching out her hand to be held and he's all closed off with his hand in his lap. Aww. Sad :(
Oh yea. And then once they get to the bar Gage is all "Peace out bitches!" What a dick. If I didn't love him so much I'd make her marry someone else.
Nonetheless. Peanut had a productive and busy first day in Saskan Harbour and went home to sleep and dream about her new crush.
I really like this town by the way. This is the view from her house. It's so idyllic and peaceful. Damn. I wish I could live there.
The next morning Peanut has her game face on. Today she's not letting nothing stop her.
Peanut: Bitch thinks he can turn me down? Oh I think NOT!
She's handling things well..
First order of business for the day? Get a job! Peanut has a wish to get a job as a cop. She comes out with a job as a snitch but hey. It counts as far as she's concerned.
Peanut decided to spend the rest of her afternoon enjoying the eerily empty town park.
She wasn't so impressed with the fountain though.
Peanut: Eh. I've seen better.
Peanut: I want something with action and adventure! And pirates!
I guess fishing is pretty close to pirates. Minus the ship and everything cool.
As the day was drawing to a close she decided to call Gage and invite him over.
Peanut: If this bitch turns me down I'ma flip my shit.
Bgt he didn't. She called him and then ran home (hence the workout clothes? I don't know how she changed...) and he showed up at her doorstep shortly after. And then thought about park benches? 0_o
Anna: Very manly Gage. Very manly.
Gage: Baby I know *channels Natalie Tyler Tran*
Anna: *blink*
Peanut: C'mere you manly piece of art.
After a quick change of clothes because I'm obsessive about sims being appropriately dressed Peanut commences the wooing of Gage Briody.
After hours of flirting and massages Peanut takes that huge leap.
Peanut: *mumbles to self* oh please oh please oh pleeeaaasssseee don't turn me down again.
Success!! Aww. They're so cute ^_^
Gage: Peanut my dear that was simply marvelous.
Peanut: Does that mean you'll like, totally be my boyfriend?
I think that's a yes. And I also think that with that first kiss outta the way these two will be engaging in this activity an awful lot.
Peanut: I think, to really make this official, we should get under these covers and play find the sock.
Gage: OMIGOSH I LOVE SOCKS!
Peanut: No, that's not exactly-
Gage: Here socky socky socky!!
Anna: Soo...how'd "find the sock" go?
Peanut: We're not going to talk about it.
Gage: That is so not how I remember that game.
Gage had to leave for...something. He never did say what and didn't have a job at this point so I can only assume he was horrified by Peanut's version of find the sock. But anyway, Peanut had to go to work so it didn't matter. And look! This random police car was just sitting there with it's flashers going.
It was at this point Saskan Harbour started to feel creepy. The empty police car with the flashers. The main part of town empty of most cars and all people.
The rows of empty houses, devoid of children. And then I realized. This place is a ghost town. And I got creeped out.
I had visions of Peanut spending most nights alone, eating old waffles with just her, the moon, and the flies. So I did something about it.
I made a bunch of random sims and plopped them in the town, as well as some random sim bin sims.
Peanut: Does this mean I have to socialize now?
Anna: Yes. It does.
So after work I sent Peanut to the gym and BEHOLD! ANOTHER LIVING SIM! This is Mittens Turnpike. She was a sim I had made and saved to the sim bin with the intention of putting in Sunset Valley. But, now here she is.
Mittens: Yea. It was just like. Blue everywhere. And there were all these sim families huddled around. We had no goal. No aspirations. No chance of meeting our goals or aspirations. It was pretty terrible.
Peanut: Aha! LOL@YOU!
Mittens: No seriously. It was awful. If there is a hell, that's it.
Peanut: *vacant stare*
Mittens: I'm serious man! There were like these zombies and they were all "I'MA EAT YOUR FAAAACCCEEE!"
Peanut: *gasp* That reminds me! I got shit to steal. KTHXBAI!
Peanut: Well hello there sexxy.
Meet Peanut's true love. Theiving.
It's strange to see such a cute sim being so devious.
The next day whilst Peanut was at work I scoped out the town to see if any of my sims were feeling brave and lo and behold! Two of them! This is actually a couple I made. They are the brave athletic types and have two adopted children. I'm oddly attached to my randoms.
So after work I sent Peanut to the park to socialize!
Old Woman: You two should play chess together! :D *oblivious*
Peanut: Mmmm. Not so sure that's a good idea.
Girl who's name I can't remember: "Bitch not sit down at my table. This is my table. I WILL EAT HER ALIVE!"
Peanut made the wise choice and sat down at the other chess table.
Peanut:I can feel her eyes boring through me.
Peanut: It's cool. It's cool. I can do this. She doesn't intimidate me.
Peanut: Yea. I so got this. Sooo know what I'm doin'
Peanut: Oh god. I don't have a clue what I'm doing.
Anna: You and me both Peanut. You and me both.
Well, that's it for my first chapter :) I hope you enjoyed it. I don't really have a clue what I'm doing but it's fun learning as I go. So look for a new chapter soon hopefully! Also, any and all constructive criticism is completely welcome.
