ink_sec_simsAnd so we round out our final day of week 1 with a look at the Turret boys! What are they up to? Oh, you know, the usual -- going to work, playing games, getting a new roomie. . .
Oh yeah, I was so sick of what was happening with Lucy I decided SOMETHING was going to happen to SOMEBODY and made a new Sim to live with Steve & Gary. Technically I can do this because not all of my RP characters are accounted for -- I have two RP Victors (well, three if you count my newish tumblr one). I didn't make another Victor, though, that would just be confusing. Instead, I took someone from Steve & Gary's own loose canon. . .
Wheatley: 'ello! Thanks for rescuing me from space! The new body is -- rather odd, but I'll get the hang of it!
You're welcome! Yes, folks, welcome Wheatley to the group! I've never played Portal 2 personally, but damn it, I love the Intelligence Dampening Core.
Wheatley: Oi! I'm not that anymore! I'm not a moron! It even says so in my last name: Notamoron.
Yes, yes, of course. Here are his stats:
Wheatley Notamoron
Personality: 2 Sloppy, 10 Outgoing, 1 Lazy, 6 Playful, 6 Nice
Zodiac Sign: Libra
Primary/Secondary Aspiration: Knowledge/Popularity
LTW: Max Out 7 Skills
Turn-Ons/Off: Brown Hair, Hard Worker/Stink
OTH: Music & Dance
Career: None
He's Knowledge/Popularity because he wants to be seen as smart, and he wants to be well-liked and respected. And his turn-off is stink because he doesn't like smelly humans. XD
Steve: . . .Who is this guy and why is he washing our dishes?
This is Wheatley. He's your new roommate.
Steve: Why?
Because I wanted something new to happen. He brings an extra 20,000 simoleons with him.
Steve: Welcome to the family, Wheatley!
Wheatley: Oh yes, I'm very much into art! Sculptures. . .paintings -- Leonardo! Amazing work, he did. For a turtle.
He's actually really interested in culture, which I find hilarious. (Actually, I think they're all really interested in culture, which is double hilarious.)
Steve: I like you, Wheatley. And not just because you're gonna help us upgrade our furniture and do our dishes.
Gary: So, uh, who's the guy whose reading the gaming magazine and makes me set out extra pancakes?
Steve: His name's Wheatley. Apparently he's on the run from Her too. Something about nearly blowing up the facility.
Wheatley: *reading* Hey, did you know "ace of fours" isn't really a thing?
Steve and Gary head out to their respective jobs. Wheatley tries to better himself by watching the Yummy channel.
Wheatley: . . .Did they really have to show something on cooking potatoes my first day here?
Maybe social interaction will help get his mind off the past?
Wheatley: Your name's -- Michelle? Like -- Chell, only longer and with a different sound for the 'ch?'
Or not.
Wheatley: OH YES CLOUDS ARE AMAZING
Little too much enthusiasm for weather-talk, buddy.
Wheatley: I had a friend once. Chell. Amazing woman. But then -- we had a falling out, and I was bossy and monstrous and said some really nasty things to her, and nearly tried to send her to space.
Michelle Tse: Oh, it couldn't have been that bad. What did you say?
Michelle: "Fatty-fatty no parents?" Okay, yeah, you're a jerk.
Wheatley: But--
Michelle: JERK.
We'll try again with her later, Wheats.
A brief thunderstorm gets Wheatley's attention for a while. He doesn't seem to know what to make of this rain. Of course, he's spent most of his life stuck in Aperture. . . .
Working on your logic skill, Wheatley?
Wheatley: All the smartest people play chess!
Gary: I get home from making Trash Talker at work, and you make me rake the leaves? I have to do everything around here!
Hey, all I told you to do was pull some weeds. You came up with this leaf-raking thing on your own.
Wheatley: Why do I have to clean all the toilets? They didn't even make me clean toilets as a core!
You want to max out 7 skills, you gotta do some dirty work. Get cracking.
Steve: Sit on the couch and watch TV? Yeah. I can do that.
If Gary and/or Wheatley don't kill you first.
As Steve quickly finishes up a painting to prove he's being useful to his roomies, let me show off some of the new furniture Wheatley's influx of money bought. It's mainly a new sectional and some chairs. . .
And the best single-person beds you can get. Steve & Gary now share a room, leaving Steve's old room to Wheatley and a microphone. Because I wanted to buy him one.
Wheatley: Have you read Machiavelli?
Gary: No, but I can pretend I've read it to impress chicks.
Wheatley: Me too!
Gary: Brohug! Congrats on getting out of the Aperture Science Hellhole, Wheatley.
Wheatley: *genuinely touched* Thanks. I'll make sure you don't regret letting me stay.
Steve: I don't know what's worse -- you guys being soppy, or The Sims 3.
I honestly think Wheatley and Gary are having more fun with red hands than Steve is with the computer game.
Wheatley: "In the name -- of love! One night in the name of love!"
Gary: *offscreen, in bed* Wheatley, go to sleep!
Wheatley: I can't help it, mate! This makes me feel really good!
Gary: Oh God, Music & Dance is your one true hobby?
Get used to a lot of off-key warbling, boys.
To make up for it, I buy them a mirror and a pinball machine. Hopefully it will be enough to distract them from Wheatley's singing while he builds up Creativity.
And that's that! Hope you enjoyed the latest cycle and our newest resident! It's back to EMMETT BROWN, TECHNO-WARLOCK and college next update -- see you then!
