Brown Family, Monday + Tuesday, Week 2
Technically it's Week 1 for him, but I'm labeling it Week 2 to keep everybody in sync. Anyway, we had one important development over these two days, so let's get right to, shall we?
Emmett's new house! As you can see, it's got huge rooms. I might shrink and repurpose a few once he starts getting little ones in the place. As it is, it works for him.
As per usual, I have my Sims spend a lot of time studying. But hey, why not try and max out Mechanical to christen the new house?
Welcome wagon time! And what a fascinating mix it is -- Lorraine McFly, Steve Turret, and Nell Van Dort! I can ignore Nell, since Emmett's already got an in to the Van Dort family with Mayhew, but Lorraine's definitely someone to get to know better.
Steve: And then, I don't know how, but there was an elephant in the break room!
Or Steve could grab you for a joke. That's fine with me too.
Steve: So, what's with the pointy hat?
Emmett: I'm a warlock. Got a problem with it?
Steve: I'm a sentry turret turned human, so no.
Lorraine and Nell in background: *hypnotized by the train table*
Emmett pulls Lorraine away from trains to chat about the weather. Maybe they're discussing why it's summer for him and winter for everyone else?
Lorraine: I'm a great believer in the power of peace.
Steve: There's not going to be any if I don't get a turn to play with the train.
Um -- I'm honestly not sure how this works either. But I like the old-timey stove, so - Also, right then is when I realized I'd forgotten a fire alarm and quickly added it. Emmett may know Exflammo, but I didn't want to take chances.
Steve gets his chance with the train set while Emmett tells Lorraine about the robbery. Hun, let it go.
Emmett: It only happened a few days ago!
That's a lifetime in Sim terms!
We interrupt this visit for another TOWNIE WITH UNFORTUNATE OR WEIRD NAME. This is Naenae Macarevich. Naenae? Really?
After the welcome wagon departs, Emmett gets a call:
Emmett: Genesis Tang? You haven't spoke to me in ages. Why are you -- all right, what's with the wholesale discount thing? We all know you don't approve of my "lifestyle."
(Me, I'm just annoyed that benefit popped up AFTER I furnished his house.)
Monday ends with our new homeowner studying the Ways of Light. I'm trying to keep Emmett here at least mildly good, since that seems to have some of the best spells. (I can't see the benefit in evil witchery, honestly -- then again, I'm not the sort who usually tortures my Sims.)
Tuesday dawns with Fall weather and vase-making for Emmett. Like his creativity wall? I thin it helps put him in the proper mood.
Yes! Mechanical maxed! Good Knowledge Sim!
Emmett: Think this might help me with building robots?
Can't hurt!
Calm thy tits, Marie, it's just Creatum Insecto Volurius.
Emmett: Hmm. They're selling an antique train at auction Saturday.
Wouldn't it be awesome if you could have the Jules Verne Train in Sims? I do have a driveable DeLorean, but it doesn't look like the one in the movie, sadly.
Emmett puts his new mechanical skills to work making a hydrobot. Swirl, leaves, swirl!
About this time, I noticed a lot of Emmett's wants focused on going on a date, flirting, and kissing. Apparently someone was missing their girlfriend already, so I brought her over for a date. You guys were just out together like a day or two ago!
Emmett: And you said that's like a lifetime in Sim terms.
. . .Touche.
Carmen: How's the sculpture coming?
Emmett: Still making vases and tea sets, working toward a Silver badge. How's the society?
Carmen: Wondering where all their money want.
Emmett: Ha.
Despite the lack of music, the pair decide to slow dance. Aww, isn't it roman--
Carmen: OW OW OW
Emmett: I'M SORRY I'M SO SORRY
. . .Was not expecting that.
She forgives him pretty quickly, though.
They go inside for an infinitely safer game of chess.
Carmen: So, do you have any Sim you could TRULY call a best friend?
Emmett: The voice in the sky keeps telling me that I should be pals with this kid called Marty. . .
A supper of leftover hamburgers. How romantic.
Emmett: Well, more than you might think.
Oh?
Emmett: Carmen, I -- I wanted to ask you this last time, but I was still a little worried. . .
Carmen: OMG OMG OMG
Emmett: Carmen, will -- will you marry me?
(His face is just so adorable here XD)
Carmen: Of course I will!
Emmett: Yes!
So yes, it's official! They're engaged! I'll probably be moving Carmen in later before they get married, but I'm going to give Emmett a bit more bachelor time in his new pad before then.
Emmett: Steve, could you call back later? I'm on a date with my new fiance. . . Why did you just tell me to take a long walk off a short pier?
Ignore him, he has woman troubles.
Carmen: I love him, but I gotta say, the teleport is a little weird.
Just so long as you don't get any ideas about curing him. I like his witchiness.

And so we end with a dream date for these two, Carmen succumbing to the lure of the train table (what is it that makes it so popular?), and Emmett getting a Science Teacher job.
Emmett: I thought you wanted me to run my own business?
Yeah, but you need capital for that. Right now you've got about $1,500 in your account. You're just lucky warlocks are cheap to feed.
And that's Emmett all caught up, more or less. Next time the McFlys! Where you will probably see Emmett again but suck it up, I want him and Marty to be friends.
