ink_sec_simsTechnically next week! I'm sending another family in a different 'hood on vacation next week, and I might want to use my weekend playtime all on them. So you get an early update on the Liddells. Perhaps not as many interesting things are happening with them as with the Van Dorts, but we've got about 30 picture, so let's see what's up.
We start off with OH DEAR GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYES?!?!
*breathing hard* And now you're adorable again. God someone hold meee
Cheshire decides it best to make best friends with the potential hell-child, lest he be destroyed when she finally wreaks her will upon the earth.
Alice: Invisible cat toy!
Dinah: *thinking* Play along and hopefully she won't eat you to satiate her hunger for flesh.
Henry, Cheshire, and Alice all head out for the day, leaving Lorina and Dinah to nap. Awww.
Hun, I really don't think you need to wonder about whether you're pregnant or not. Didn't you hear the baby jingle?
Has anyone seen a toilet become that horrible after it's been vomited in? Be honest.
Feeling she could use a little cheering up after cleaning the icky-squicky toilet, I let Lorina indulge in her OTH. Tinkering's a hard hobby to work with, though, if you've got low mechanical. Needed more objects to play with.
Lorina: He just had to go and get me pregnant again. . .at least this comfort soup will soothe me.
Feeling she needs to get out of the house for a while before she starts showing, Lorina visits Sue's (Secret) Kitchen. And is that Lorraine McFly going inside? Why don't you say hello, Lorina?
Lorina: I didn't know you were into Cuisine! Tell me, do you like grilling?
Lorraine: Not as much as I like wearing jewelry! Speaking of which, did you see that horrible ensemble that the Mayor's wife had on the other day?
Lorina: Ugh! Why do you have to bring politics into this?! Only idiots discuss that with people they barely know!
Lorraine: LA LA LA CAN'T HEAR YOU
Damn, I was kind of hoping they'd get along.
Rosemarie Carr: Here, let me talk the SCIENCE hobby with you on the CUISINE lot.
Meanwhile, Lorina's decided to take a crack at the food contest table and is making a berry pie. Swirl that crust batter, Lorry!
Lorina: I thought certain people weren't interested in the Cuisine hobby.
Lorraine: Did you hear that, Sharlene? Sounds like someone who doesn't understand that not caring to talk about the hobby doesn't mean you can't cook.
Our contestants have lined up! We have Lorina, Lorraine, Sharlene the Iconic Hobbyist, and the bartender. Whose dish shall reign supreme?
The judge goes around and samples each dish. . . .
*synchronized worry as a decision is made*
And the winner is -- LORRAINE! With what I think is one of my custom foods. Cheating?
Lorina: . . .I guess they are good.
We'll try again when you have a couple more cooking points. Now, since you're exhausted, head home for another nap.
As Lorina comes home and settles herself down to sleep, everybody else decides to arrive home at the same time. Henry at least has gotten a promotion to Teacher's Aide, meaning no more running around in those ridiculous shorts.
Alice: Daddy, Daddy, look! I got an A+!
Henry: Congratulations, honey! Uh -- you didn't frighten the teachers into it, did you?
Alice: Uh -- no, why?
Henry: No reason!
And so Alice heads inside with what I'm sure is a legitimately earned A+. And has nothing to do with her potential to be a hell-child.
Studying up on how to best fry the remains of your enemies?
Alice: This series of jokes about a one-time eye glitch aren't as funny as you think.
Probably not.
Alice: And if you keep making them, I'll fry your eggs, so to speak.
O.O
So here, have a perfectly normal child playing cat teaser with her kitty!
Alice: Much better.
Industrious Liddell women.
. . .I did not mean to make that pun.
Oh, don't look so shocked. You knew it was coming.
Lorina: It's more how bright these purple pajamas are.
Oh -- well, gotta live with them for now.
Typical night at the Liddell household. At least, for now. *looks for place to insert a nursery/second kid's room*
Henry calls up Patrick Das and makes pals by talking about make-up. Maybe Lorina's told him a thing or two?
And so we end on Henry reading his Music & Dance magazine, and considering drums. Why?
Who knows, I can't think of anything witty.
So that's the Liddells! Up next are the Garfunkels! Dunno when that'll be (like I said, another family going on vacation), but until then, later!

Date: 2012-10-23 04:53 pm (UTC)As with most great epics. Except the ones that end that way.
I play my base game Legacy with no sound, so I never hear the jingle. It adds a certain suspense. I also never hear "DURR I CAN'T GET IN THE BATHROOM BECAUSE SOMEONE'S IN THERE SO I'M GONNA YELL," which is invaluable.
"Lorina: Ugh! Why do you have to bring politics into this?! Only idiots discuss that with people they barely know!"
There is something weird and postmodern about that image - the chef drinking in front of the poster of the waiter with a drinks tray.
"And the winner is -- LORRAINE! With what I think is one of my custom foods. Cheating?"
Man, I love default face templates - look at that bartender. She's just realized her FACE.
Ahahahahaha "Liddle Women."

Date: 2012-10-24 12:08 pm (UTC)Interesting! I suppose it does add an extra element of surprise. And you see, that's why I try to always have more than one bathroom. And not ever let them decide to go on their own.
LoL, good point. Didn't notice that!
*snork* We can't all be winners, Random NPC Woman who's name I can't remember.
It's just TOO easy to make that pun.
Oh, yeah, and I saw on your LJ that you had to suspend updates for a while -- I hope things are going better!
