Brown Family, Junior Semester 2

ink_sec_simsAnd now, the second half of the EMMETT BROWN, TECHNO-WARLOCK Junior Year update. Yeah, I know, I kinda procrastinated on this, but be thankful I made sure to get it out before the end of this week -- not only is the fourth episode of the BTTF Telltale game coming out, I'm also going to be playing "American McGee's Alice" throughout May to gear myself up for "Alice: Madness Returns" in June. So updates will most likely be even more sparse.
We started off doing things a little more low-key -- Emmett made an effort to catch up with a few of his skills, in particular Cooking and Mechanical.
He also worked hard on that Robotics badge -- I wanted him to have at least the Bronze before he left school. Lots of toy robots were made -- good thing they can be sold for a profit.
Though sometimes they need a little repair work first. (Fortunately, the broken bots don't happen often.)
The wandering coach finally bullies Emmett into doing some exercise -- and immediately regrets his decision:
Coach: Why oh why do you have workout clothes that emphasize your CROTCH like that?!
Because the person in charge is female and happens to have a crush on Doc Brown, that's why. You should see his ass. *eyebrow waggle*
Once the traumatized coach leaves, Emmett decides it's time to have a social life again and best-friends both his professor Audrey Woodrow. . . .
And Genesis Tang (seen here at an angle and with lighting that makes him look nekkid XD).
Oh, now THIS is the essence of techno-wizardy!
Emmett: I'm not casting a spell on the robot bench, I'm using Benemoodus Simae.
Oh? What for? Got more skills to study?
Emmett: Actually, I -- um -- have a date. With Carmen. And there's the taxi, gotta go!
Yes, Emmett's scored himself a date with the cute redhead at the Volauvent Society! He takes her to Darkness Falls, a not-so-good nightclub I designed myself. It's mostly just a dance floor with a bar, vending machines, and a couple of hot tubs. Still, it's somewhere to hang out.
. . .Emmett, I'm not sure vaguely obscene gestures will win her over.
Emmett: I'm merely pointing out that she has a very lovely body.
Emmett: That is susceptible to tickle attacks!
Carmen: Hehehehehehe!
Oh dear -- they're already showing signs of being one of THOSE couples. Carmen, incidentally, is a Family Sim.
They head inside, and, despite only having one Body point, Emmett decides to try the dance sphere.
Carmen: Are you sure about this, Emmett? It seems kinda crazy to me.
Emmett: I'll be fine! I can hang onto my broomstick at high altitudes, can't I?
And indeed, at first all goes well. . . .
But then the inevitable happens. Fortunately, Carmen is way too obsessed with the arcade machine to notice.
To take his mind off his bruised pride (and ribs), Emmett requests a slow song, then leads Carmen in a classic dance.
As everyone knows, slow romantic dances are the best way to get a girl to crush on you. (If you want a girl to crush you, you're on your own.)
We interrupt this date to show you the effects of hot-tubbing during a thunderstorm. Thank you for your consideration.
Inside, things continue to go well on the date. Probably helps that "Doc Emmett is cured of being a warlock" hasn't come up in Carmen's wants once.
Emmett: Perhaps this is an odd thing to ask, given that we're already dating, but -- what's your sign?
Carmen: Cancer! You know, the crab.
I have no idea whether that lines up well with Emmett's sign (Pisces) or not. I just know they have two happy little bolts.
The rain has finally moved on, so Emmett and Carmen hang out with townie Jasmine in the hot tub for a bit.
A little playful splashing never hurt things, right?
Emmett: *thinking* Focus on my date focus on my date don't think about the nude man getting into the hot tub behind me
The date ends on "Great Date" status -- not too shabby.
Emmett: I strongly disapprove of this evil witch being here!
Dude, wait until she actually does something nasty.
How do you fill the time while waiting for your taxi back home? Why, by roasting marshmallows over incredibly dangerous fire jets, of course!
Back on campus, we get a look at Carmen in her everyday clothes as she leaves a rose for her beloved. Emmett is forced to put away the book later so I can stick it on his desk.
The magical fun never ends, hmm?
Emmett: I'm quite committed to my craft. In fact, I'm thinking of visiting the headquarters of the Good Witches tomorrow.
Oh dear, you sure? You know how Rosemarie is.
Emmett: Uh, yes, but -- well, I ought to do it at least once. . . .
The next morning, off he goes, to see the Palace of Neverending Light!
Emmett: Great Scott, do I love flying! Who needs a car?
The Palace proves to be so freaking huge I literally cannot get all of it into frame. This will have to do. And yeeks, look at all those stairs! Good thing Emmett knows Magivestium. . . .
Which promptly sorta-fails and throws him into the main chamber. *facepalm*
Emmett: I'm okay! It's no worse than the dance sphere!
As you can see, Rosemarie is very happy to see Emmett. You and Carmen better fall in love quick before she decides to keep you in the basement here, Dockie.
Emmett: Do you think she minds that I'm sitting in her throne?
Screw her, all your needs are going up!
Once he's sufficiently refreshed by the magical chair, Emmett takes a peek inside Rosemarie's spellbook.
Emmett: I'm disturbed by the fact it automatically opens to "Love Potions. . . ."
The Palace of Neverending Light proves to be a bit underwhelming despite its size -- there's no one to talk to besides Rosemarie and not much to do. Bored, Emmett investigates one of the unclaimed cauldrons.
Emmett: So, what's been cooking in here?
Emmett: Smells rather peculiar, like --
Emmett: Rotten newt eyes! Ugh!
Emmett: I need something to settle my stomach.
Hey, I'm just glad you didn't run up here to throw up.
Emmett decides to leave the other cauldrons alone and borrows Rosemarie's to make some dragon scales.
Rosemarie: You could just buy them from me.
Emmett: I'm a poor college student, miss -- I can't afford them.
Rosemarie: Oh, but I definitely give a cutie like you a discount. *wink*
Emmett: IthinkI'llbegoingnow
At home, there are penguins. No, I don't know why, especially since it's spring at the moment. Maybe the magical energies smell like fish?
Back at the robot bench, Emmett finally gets his Bronze badge! This picture will have to stand in for that as I rarely ever see or get a picture of the actual symbol.
Allow me to offer photographic proof in the form of a steampunk hydrobot!
Emmett: At last! Now onto the Silver! After my exam, of course.
Which he aced, as usual.
So yes, now Emmett is officially a senior, and one step closer to joining the rest of the neighborhood. Will Carmen prove to be the one? Will Emmett get his Silver Robotics badge? Will the High GOOD Witch ever stop being creepy?
You'll have to wait until the end of the next cycle! So, uh, feel free to go have a life in the meantime.

Date: 2011-09-30 12:51 pm (UTC)All of my couples are THOSE couples. They all want to tickle each other. It's sickening.
"As everyone knows, slow romantic dances are the best way to get a girl to crush on you. (If you want a girl to crush you, you're on your own.)"
I legitimately laughed out loud. Good thing this is my last day at work.
"Back at the robot bench, Emmett finally gets his Bronze badge! This picture will have to stand in for that as I rarely ever see or get a picture of the actual symbol."
I can hit the "p" button blind in a nanosecond now, thanks to this game.

Date: 2011-09-30 08:39 pm (UTC)I have a lot of THOSE couples in my game too, but that's because I generally let them marry their three-bolt true loves. Ah well, it keeps social up.
XD Hooray for real-life LOLs.
I gotta practice using the keyboard for pics. I'm too used to the "pause, click the mouse" method. Though, really, the actual badge symbol rarely shows up either, so. . . *weird game is weird*
