Liddell Family, Wednesday, Week 1

[ink_sec_sims]

More visiting random community lots around the island and more toddler skilling. Aren't you excited?!


We open with Lorina back at her sewing machine. I tend to have her make potholders once or twice a day -- they bring in some profit, since no one in the family has a job yet.


Since Lorina taught Alice her other two major skills, Henry takes over for learning to talk. I try to keep such things balanced between the parents.


Nothing particularly interesting was happening at home, so Cheshire grabbed the carriage and headed out. This is the Inkwell Bar. For those of you not in the know, this is the building the entire island is actually named after -- I have a musebox version that my RP characters live in when they're not visiting dear_multiverse or somesuch. It's also an early community lot of mine, hence why it's basically a huge box.


While the townies and premade Sims gather around the pool table, Cheshire decides to play some darts.


Uh-oh -- the last thing I need is Cheshire getting robbed by this guy. *keeps an eye on him*


Oh, okay, he's going to bilk Mayhew instead. The Van Dorts have the most savings; they can afford it.


Cheshire and Victor Aspir decide to talk travel. "Oh, you don't need a suitcase to travel to Wonderland. Unless you like having clothes and toiletries."


We interrupt this program to bring you Scottish Professor Leonid Leive.
And while we're talking crazy names, one of the chefs in the back is Luc Roennigke, and the host is Renaud Byall.


Cheshire was peckish, so I decided to let him eat out. I forget what that is in his thought bubble -- pork chops?


Since I couldn't identify it, he got fried chicken instead.


Cheshire sips his milk and tries to ignore the amateurish poundings of the townie behind him.


We return home to discover Alice has learned to talk! Another toddler fully actualized!


Oh, exhaustion. Why must you make me waste the Smart Milk bonus. (Incidentally, has anyone ever noticed that the cribs are Energy 12? That's just sadistic.)


Both Liddells want to be friends with Cheshire, so I got him and Lorina interacting. Lorina just told him a joke about baseball and elephants, which sounds like a perfectly typical game in Wonderland.


Cheshire expounds on the wonders of grilled cheese. I really love that aspiration. XD


While that's happening, Henry seeks out buried treasure in the front yard. In his nightshirt. Just be glad he's not showing his ass to the camera.


This did not end well.


Of course you can use mops on gravel and grass! Don't you know Sim technology is light-years beyond our own? Too bad they're all extremely stupid.


Awww, Alice and Cheshire are singing the nursery rhyme together. She seriously loves it -- she sings it to herself all the time. It's very cute, even for her perpetually angry face.


Time to boogie down, and not wonder why your husband's not properly dressed.


I decide to be nice to Henry and give him a money tree. His secondary Aspiration is Fortune, after all, and he's starting to worry about having no job and thus not earning anything.


Henry FINALLY puts some clothes on so he can play with his toddler daughter. Remind me why I chose the nightshirt as his sleepwear again?


Henry searches the web for the latest on harps. I don't think you're going to find anything on a sports site, buddy.


More potholders, and a slight upgrade to Lorina's work area. I'm pretty sure this black one was Lorina's first, so she gets to keep it rather than sell it.


We end with skilling -- well, Lorina and Cheshire skilling while Henry nearly cuts his finger off. Gotta take advantage of fall, after all.


And that's all for this installment. Tune in next time while I try to figure out how to get one of the apartment dwellers out of the house.
