(See Part One for rules and explanations.)
AND THE RESULTS ARE IN!
Vanilla unsurprisingly still has the lead, with the fact that she's the only one Terrence has a crush on. Chocolate and Blueberry are almost tied exactly except for lightning bolts. Alas, poor Mint, her impressive silver (!) gardening badge was not enough to save her, and SHE is the Weakest Link! Goodbye.
Ah, well, at least you can get a nice evil Duke as a consolation prize. ;)
Stomping...in a mud puddle...in evening gown and high heels. Oh...kay...(cracks up)
This isn't even the funniest shot. The funniest shot (lost due to Random Crash Syndrome :( ) was from an earlier time and she was stomping the puddle right near the house--which half the time made it look like she was
kicking the BRICK. WALL. And yet still having a great ol' time...!
Spying on the next-door neighbor...(and apparently Learning while she's doing it. Learning what I'm not sure I want to know.)
Well, serves you right!
Studying Logic points is the order of the day (and if Peach HAD still been here, she would've had an advantage, yes. The rules don't say anything about letting them play or not earlier, so my policy is to let them do what they want, and whoever goes over to the chess set, goes over to the chess set.) Here the farmer decides to have a nice chat with Blueberry while playing.
...ABOUT LIPS. What else?
Aww. A quiet day indoors, playing chess, while the rain beats down on the roof and the muted sky overhead...I've waited since the first game's original release for an atmosphere like this in the Sims. Did I mention I love Seasons? I love Seasons.
And here Chocolate and Terrence just made best friends. (Vanilla did a second earlier; that's the smaller green faces you can see floating up there near the ceiling.)
Vanilla then decides to make hamburgers for everybody--again, smearing things on with her
hands. Eww.
Anyway, I think she looks especially pretty in this shot, don't you?
Chocolate
slinks across the floor at us in her nightgown, which I don't believe I've gotten a good shot of before.
ARRR, me heartie! Blueberry is a MIGHTY PIRATE. Seriously. Don't let the...everything fool you for a moment.
(I think this is the
very first time I'd seen one of my Sims do this. They're just not that playful, usually, I guess...)
And now, they all magically telepo--take the taxi to P.U.R.E, ("Party Until Really Early") for the other official activity of the day--dancing! Here, Vanilla "suffers" the Attack of the Artsy Lighting and
then some, making her look all dramatic and curvy--too bad the farmer is dancing the Smustle with April Hutchins and doesn't even notice.
...or maybe he did. WHOAHWHOAHWHOAH, we have first kiss of the contest! And it's a Make Out, too. Right in front of everyone, on the dance floor, while the beat pounds on. What is this, a friggin'
movie?!
Way to have timing, Terrence! (thumbs up)
And, since this apparently IS "Simurday Night Fever 2: Electric Boogaloo", let's dramatically replay this from different angles! While Isabella Monty for some reason plots bodily harm upon Fleur DeLaCoeur (who as far as I am aware hasn't even
met her) Blueberry stands in the shadows and watches the happy couple, silently...
(Also, Vanilla's dress is going straight THROUGH Terrence's legs. Ouch.)
Kiss, she can. DANCE, she cannot. (cracks up) What are you
doing there, girl? Looks like she's halfway between stumbling and falling asleep.
Cat! At the Disco! WHY is there a cat at the disco? (cracks up again) April Hutchins, Morrissey Misfit, and Random Redheaded Townie don't know either.
From left to right: Vanilla Frost, Terrence Winters, Balin Irvine (founding genetic donor of the Williams' Legacy), Fleur DeLaCoeur in her work uniform, Isabella Monty, Random Barrista With XMSims Hair, and looking straight at the camera, Morrissey Misfit. And in front, April Hutchins again.
What? Whatthe? Who are you doing that at? There's nobody there! STOPTHAT!
...the Sims! THEY CAN SEE ME...
I should explain here that while it's common for Sims, since the
first game, to wave, complain, and gesticulate wildly at the player/God/the Magic Voice in the Sky when something's going wrong or they don't want to do something you've told them to, this was the first time I've ever seen one turn and look at me right in the
eyes, like one PERSON to another. "Hey. Yeah. How's it goin?" as opposed to "STUPID PLAYER WHY AREN'T YOU FEEDING ME?!" or somesuch.
Apparently it happens to some other players often enough that there's a hack to get rid of the behavior, but for me, this was my first time EVER seeing it and it FREAKED me OUT...
The only other Sim I've seen do this to me, so far...was another Veronaville resident. Is there something in the
water around here...?
Then Blueberry and Chocolate take their minds off that kiss by having a water balloon fight. In high heels (well, Chocolate is, anyway). Of COURSE.
(laughs) Her expression here...seriously... :P
Eurena! HI GIRL! Everyone, this is Eurena, from the same old, old fantasy stories that Duke Zular is from. Hey there, dork shapeshifter "wizard" chick!
And
she's thinking the farmer is hot stuff. Nice try, but you're not in this contest.
Well, FINALLY the competition starts picking up a little! You know, it took her
this long to heart at him like that, even once? Despite the two lightning bolts? Not that she's easily distracted or anyth--OH LOOK A PUPPY!
And...that's it for this part! Who will be next to get the axe?
TUNE IN NEXT TIME when we'll hear Eurena say:
EURENA: Shoofleee?
Well, she's a Sim, I never guaranteed ENGLISH. Anyway, until then, this is Captain Chaotica on location in Veronaville, signing off!
