Turret Family, Tuesday, Week 2
Aaand the end of another cycle looms! Again, a visitor makes things slightly more interesting than they might be. Also, wondering if I should update the icon. . .hmm.
Your average morning at the Turret/Notamoron household. Making breakfast, Wheatley?
Wheatley: The more useful I am, the more likely they'll want to keep me around!
Steve: Ouch! Wheatley, careful, that stung.
Wheatley: Sorry mate. We're still friends, right?
Steve: Well, we've technically just become friends. But yes.
Some skilling. Wheatley's moved onto painting for his Creative needs. Drawing Chell?
Wheatley: Giving it my best go, but this paint doesn't seem to want to cooperate!
It's actually just your lack of Creativity.
Wheatley: What? I am so bloody creative it'll make your head spin! I could totally outpaint that -- that Michelangelo Da Vinci guy!
Just keep painting, Wheatley.
Gary: Hey, remember the old training films they used to show Aperture employees?
Wheatley: Oh, I loved those! The one about turret avoidance was fantastic! Though I don't think the employees liked it much. . .all that red everywhere seemed to put them off. . .were you in that one?
Gary: No, I don't think we'd come off the production line yet.
Steve: *on the phone with Luis Aspir* Making out with another guy while on our date totally counts as mixed signals! No, I don't care -- hey, wait a minute, you're not related to the guy she was making out with, are you? DON'T TRY TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT.
Wheatley: "You'd make the prettiest princess, Wheatley?" That wasn't a compliment, was it? All I was saying was that it isn't fair the girls get the prettiest jewelry.
(Now I actually sort of want to see Transvestite!Wheatley, either out of ignorance or because he genuinely likes women's clothing. *thinks about leaving a prompt over on the kink meme*)
It's definitely socialization day out here -- I have Gary stop this chick for a chat because a) I was wondering if she was his type (she's not, not really), and b) because her name was Lyndsay Louie. Best names in this game.
Gary: I am the most hardcore gamer you will ever meet! I am so hardcore, I intimidate people into giving me money to play games!
Lyndsay: I know. I'm your boss's cousin.
Gary: Oh. Uh. . .
Lyndsay: *laugh* Don't worry, I think you're really cool.
Gary: Little ol' me?
Lyndsay: Yup! And I'm going to call in a favor and get you a guaranteed promotion next time you go to work.
Gary: You are the most awesome townie ever.
Hooray for awesome networking bonuses!
Inside, Wheatley is interrupted from studying by one Lorraine McFly.
Wheatley: What am I up to? I was just painting while wearing a funny light bulb helmet that makes me smarter. You?
Wheatley: I haven't had chili yet! I'll have to put it on my to-do list: Make chili. Or maybe ask Steve to make it. He's the one studying to be a chef. Which is awesome, food is amazing. Wish they'd give me taste sensors as a core.
That burst of aspiration points about Wheatley's head means he's just snagged himself an Education job! Yes, I intend for Wheatley to teach the next generation of Sim children. FEAR.
Meanwhile, Steve does some body work on the car.
Steve: When the hell is this thing going to be done?
We're getting there, we're getting there. . .
Yes, Dave McFly, hang your head in shame over your mildly-ridiculous outerwear hat and coat combination.
Oh look, the body's apparently done! Now all we have to do is finish tuning up that engine! That should happen in the next century or so.
To celebrate one step closer to car-ness, I get the boys a proper bath/shower combo for the upstairs. Steve is very grateful, aren't you Steve?
Steve: Yeah, sure, a little privacy please?!
Family dinner time! Or close enough to, at any rate.
Steve: Mmmm -- gotta say, Wheats, you're not bad with the breakfast food.
Wheatley: Thanks! :D
Steve: . . .You're speaking in emoticons now?
Wheatley: Yes. :p
He's also going stargazing, which might be an odd hobby for him.
Wheatley: I don't mind watching the stars as long as I know the old feet are on terra firma. Oooh, I wonder if that big bright one is Space. . .
Gary does a little late-night maintenance on the engine.
Gary: No, what I'm doing is whacking things at random with a wrench because I can't see anything.
In Sims world, that counts as maintenance.

And we end on Gary looking up -- chess?
Gary: It's under the Gaming hobby, it counts! Besides, I want to make sure I can kick Steve's ass.
Ah, that's more like it then.
And that's another cycle down! Up next, EMMETT BROWN, TECHNO-WARLOCK! Who may or may not be doing things to deserve the all-caps. We'll see.
