Brown Family, Junior Semester 1
It's time once again to drop in on EMMETT BROWN, TECHNO-WARLOCK! I had planned for this to be a double update going through all of his Junior year (both a) because I had double updates for all the other families at the beginning and b) I want him in the neighborhood proper already), but -- well, I made the mistake of actually DOING stuff with him. So we're gonna have two relatively normal updates in a row instead. First up, Semester 1!
EMMETT BROWN, TECHNO-WARLOCK is putting the "techno" in his name. No Benemoodus Simae?
Emmett: This is better when your needs are really low, and I need them top-notch now!
Because writing term papers takes a lot out of you. On the plus side, now his grade bar's nearly maxed.
And, of course, there's warlock things to be done.
Emmett: Great Scott, being a warlock is so fantastic! I'm glad I asked for the change.
However, even TECHNO-WARLOCKS need to get out of the house sometimes. Emmett decides to invite the gang (read: Stefan from the old dorm, his three Secret Society acquaintances, and Genesis Tang) out for an evening at the bowling alley.
Things could start out better. . .
Emmett: My inventions and magic could help change the world!
Hyun: Bleh! I hate the world! It's thanks to the world that I have this lumpy misbegotten horror of a face!
And while Emmett tries to win Hyun over, the rest of the gang decides to shoot some pool. Nothing like ignoring your host while out on the town, am I right?
Emmett does manage to lure some of them back outside, making friends and then best friends with -- Veronica? I know one of you girls is named Veronica, but is it you? *checks notes* Yeah, I think you're Veronica.
And his other new best friend should be Karen. (Look, they're simply means to an end -- you really expect me to remember their names?)
Emmett: Genesis! I find you attractive, even though no bolts are showing up on your picture in the relationship panel. Tell me what you want so I may possibly win you over and introduce a goofy name into this neighborhood.
Genesis: It would be awesome if you'd stop being a warlock!
Emmett: . . .What?
(At least she's finally deigned to make friends with him.)
To take his mind off that little revelation, Emmett tries his hand at bowling.
He shoots. . . .
He scores!
Emmett: Isn't that basketball terminology?
Get back to socializing.
Emmett and Hyun do a round of the school cheer, now pals. Apparently Hyun isn't THAT mad at the world.
Emmett: Now that we're friends, Hyun, can I do anything for you? Fulfill any wants?
Hyun: How about taking the Witchbegone-E potion?
Emmett:. . .what.
Emmett: Greetings, Veronica, how are you? Any wants I can help you with?
Veronica: Yeah! You can totally stop being a warlock!
Emmett: YOU ARE ALL PREJUDICED.
Emmett: *grumblemutter* Gonna do magic just to annoy them all. . . .
I know it's an improvement over your grey-haired stalker, but Lorina's happily married.
Why are you waiting out here all by your lonesome?
Emmett: Outing's over. The official score was rocking, but Karen says that I'm lame. And nobody wants to hang out with a warlock unless they have to, apparently.
Aww, they're all just jealous. Also not Knowledge Sims.
Determined not to let the attitudes of his classmates get him down, Emmett dives right back into making reagents when he gets home.
But ho, what is this?
Secret Society Policeman: Bwak bwak BWAAK!
Emmett: What. Is your. Problem?
Looks like Emmett's getting a ride somewhere. . . .
And that somewhere is the Volauvent Society! Emmett's outing qualified him for membership.
Members: Wooo! Welcome! Please don't turn us into frogs!
Emmett: You're all so lucky I'm a Nice Warlock. . . .
Emmett: How do I look?
Eh -- I think a black warlock's hat would match better.
Poking around the castle introduces him to Carmen Suwankiri. Emmett finds her cute and wishes to at least be friends. Hopefully she likes warlocks.
There is also pinball to be played. *resists flashbacks to the one time she played a dorm that had those -- dear god, the NOISE*
And pictures of the llama banner to take. He's so very close to getting maxed Arts & Crafts enthusiasm. . .
Back at home, lunch could have gone better. And this with you cooking up reagents all the time in your cauldron.
Emmett: Reagents are an entirely different skill set, I'm afraid.
Having just sold a painting for 92 simoleons, Emmett envisions his next artistic masterpiece.
Glad to see you're still doing your spellwork.
Emmett: I can't let a few annoying comments divert me from my path of TECHNO-WARLOCKERY. Besides, Cleanius Corpus is much more convenient than a shower.
Emmett: My hard work has paid off! I've learned a new spell!
Oh? Let's see!
Emmett: MAGIVESTIGUM!
Awesome, the teleport! *wonders if she can just take out all the doors to eliminate cheerleaders and mascots*
Like this annoying bitch, who shoved Emmett as he was leaving to visit Volauvent again. Don't worry, Emmett, we'll get her back later.
Back at the Secret Society, Emmett makes best friends with Hyun while watching a werewolf movie.
He also tries out the Secret Handshake.
Emmett: Why the chicken dance first, though?
Hyun: Just do the stupid handshake.
Emmett: *nervously* Hi, Carmen. Um, anything you want in particular. . . ?
Carmen: Can we be friends?
Emmett: *relieved* Sure!
And the news gets better:
Carmen: Oh yeah, I'm totally digging your blond hair. Uh, what I can see of it under the hat.
Yeah, I wish there was a longish-hair variant.
Emboldened, Emmett does a little sweet-talking.
Aww, and gets a little crush.
Emmett: We are two bolts. If she was more skilled, perhaps we'd be three.
Love isn't the only thing available at the society. There's also a new robot bench. Time to put more Techno into your TECHNO-WARLOCKERY, Emmett.
Not bad!
There's also a new pottery wheel, for plate-making. However, all money earned here goes to the Society, so let's get you home, Emmett.
Besides, we have a cow to take care of.
Emmett: Shove me, will you, you overgrown polyester bovine?! Have my magically-conjured drink in your face!
Mallory The Cow: I'll see your drink and raise you a pillow to the nose!
And then she tried to sweet-talk him. Schizo much, Mal?
Here we see the REAL reason I went to the Volauvent Society -- raiding their funds to give Emmett a few house upgrades and a couple of new toys.
Such as this awesome steampunk version of the robot bench! Since I plan for Emmett to sell robots for a living, he'd better get cracking on that Bronze badge.
LOL, the robots appear in a shower of screws. I never noticed that before.
He also has a pottery wheel, which FINALLY maxes out his enthusiasm! Pro: He gets a boatload of aspiration points, platinum mood, and a plaque. Con: I get to hear that stupid sound whenever he does Arts & Crafts stuff.
And so semester 1 of Junior year ends with two new things for Emmett's wall -- the Arts & Crafts Max Enthusiasm plaque, and a misshapen plate off the pottery wheel.
Next time: Will Emmett find true love with Carmen? Will more people want for him to be cured of his TECHNO-WARLOCK ways? Will he get a Bronze Robot Badge? Will he learn more spells? Will I faff around I don't trick myself into doing such a huge update again? All will be revealed -- the next time I play him.
