Apocalypse In Death Valley 1.3 Interlude

Apocalypse in Death Valley
Interlude

So, Magellan, I‘m back again. I could not find out anything really helpful yet… what about you?
„ Well, I‘m stuck here. I could not get a job so far… and without job no leaving the lot. Taxis won‘t come.“
I know… I was just hoping otherwise.
„ I would have gone out and see if I could find something… but I wouldn‘t even know where to go.“
So we are still stuck for the moment.

It just annoys me that we still don‘t know what‘s going on here.
„ Me, too. But we will find out sooner or later. We have to!“
You‘re right.
„ Aren‘t I always?“
No!
„ Well, most of the time. You have to admit that.“
… .
„ Won‘t you?“
I… would, Magellan, I would. But…
„ Yes?“
Look around you.

Your sister… just came in.
„ Oh.“
Exactly.

„ Hi… Magellan… um… well, I just wanted to see what you‘re up to, you know. But… I better leave you alone… now.“

„ Oh, no!“ Did you see the look on her face? She was scared!“
Scared?
„ Of course she was. I mean, I‘m the head of the family… well, more or less, Mum and Dad are meditating most of the time. And now she thinks I‘m totally nuts. Must be very reassuring for her.“
Well, follow her and talk to her. Tell her what‘s really going on!
„ She‘ll never believe me.“
I think you have to take that risk.
*sigh* „Alright…“

„ Oh my goodness!“
Magellan, what is it?
„ I… there, look!“

I… don‘t see anything there.
„ It‘s… gone now.“
What did you see?
„ I‘m… not quite sure...“
Well, whatever he saw, it upset him quite a bit… he postponed his talk to Marie to the next day.

But the next evening…
„ Um… Marie? Could I talk to you for a minute?“
„ Oooooooommmmmmm.“ *huff*
„ Marie?“

„ Look, I know you must think I… I‘m crazy or something. But I‘m not, trust me! Look, can we talk about it for a second?
I know you are just up here meditating because Möbius and Mendela needed the beds today and not because you‘re enjoying this so much!“

Marie sighed and got up.
„ Alright… what… exactly do you want to talk about?“
„ Well, you know… yesterday, remember?“
„ You mean, when you were…“
„ When it seemed I was talking to myself, yes.“
„ It seemed so?“

*sigh* „I know this just… odd… but I‘m not talking to myself! I‘m talking… to our creator.“
„ Creator?“
„ Yes! She told me usually she can talk to all her Sims and they talk to her… but with our family it‘s different!
Somehow this whole thing that happened here… us trying to rebuild society, as Mum and Dad always tell us… don‘t you wonder how this happened in the first place?“
Aren‘t you a bit off topic now, Magellan?

„ Sure I wondered! And you are saying this… creator… told you?“
See? Off Topic.
„ Well, no. She‘s… not sure about what caused all this herself. But we are trying to find out, she and I. She‘s watching over our family. Ok, she can be a bit annoying sometimes, she talks a lot…“
Hey! I‘m listening!
„ Er… yes, talks a lot… but other than that she‘s really nice. A bit nosy, maybe… but it a non-intrusive way. Most of the time.“
*cough*
„ Anyway… now it‘s up to you to either believe me… or conclude that your brother is totally off his rocker… *sigh*“

Marie just blankly stared into space for a few minutes. Then:
„ I… this is scary, Magellan!“
„ I know… that‘s why we have to trust each other! I never lied to you before, did I?“
„ No…“

„ You know… I‘ll believe you.“
„ Oh, thank goodness! I‘m not so sure if I would have been so quick to believe a story like this!“
„ Well… you might have been… if you had this strange experience I had when I was younger…“
„ Er… what are you talking about now?“
„ Well… there‘s something odd I could tell you, too…“
„ I‘m all ears.“

„… And basically, it was as if I had been there, Magellan! I just know it was not any dream, I saw what happened in their lives before we were even born!“
„ And you… never told anyone about this?“
„ Well, you didn‘t tell anyone about your talks with that creator, did you? It‘s just too crazy, all this.“
„ I guess I see your point.“
„ So now we either accept that strange things are going on and find out more about it or we have to admit we both are nuts?“

„ That about sums it up, yes.“
„ Gosh, I‘m so glad I can finally talk this over with someone. I love you, brother.“
„ I love you, too, Marie.“
… .
*sniffs* Stop it, you two, stop this at once! That‘s just too much for me! *sniffs*
*clears throat*
Er, Magellan, do you think you could get Marie to tell her dream to the readers?
„ Shsh, not right now. Way to ruin a family moment. I‘ll talk to her about this later…“

Only a short interlude this time.
And because I love cliffhanger questions, here‘s a bunch of them:
What did Magellan see on the balcony? (Or who, maybe?)
Did Meadow and Magellan get married or not? (And produce generation three?)
How many restrictions will be lifted with this generation? (Riiiiight… still apocalypse challenge here, hehe.)
Will Meadow drive me nuts because she‘s too lazy to „run here“? (Yes, she will, I know it.)
Will there be serious fashion disasters? (Wouldn‘t it be boring without them?)
Will I really be able to let my elders die outside or will I simply forget about it (as I usually do *sigh*) and be totally taken by surprise when Grimmy arrives?
(They are both permaplat, by the way, Drake reached the top of Athletics right after his birthday… so he grew up in green and I‘m not sure how long he has to live. *sniff*)
Oh, good, no more space, I ran out of questions….

Fun Facts:
Yes, my tower has five floors right now. Yes, it‘s driving me nuts while playing. But – I still love the tower. :D
Thanks to the supportive members of Boolprop who (unkowingly) dared me to play this challenge in the first place. (By writing awesome stories and answering my numerous questions. ;))

What else?
Um. Nothing this time. I think. I‘m not talking to much, Magellan!
Ha, see? I can make it short! If I want to. I mean, really want to.
Um….
=>

Yes, yes. The End.
