2. They shine, sparkle, luminesce and most
are worth a fortune. Kingdoms have
risen and fallen over these simple little
collections of chemicals and minerals.
Rocks and Gemstones. Precious stones,
jewels, whatever you call them we all
are impressed and inspired by their
beauty and array of colours. Some are as
black as the pits of space, while others
shine brighter than the stars above. And
they make for a good theme for an
OWBC.
So let us now meet out founder the one who’ll
be leading this family for four generations.
Some challenges I am attempting for my third
turn at an OWBC are:
1) One Bad Apple
2) MOAR ALIENS
3) OFB
4) Uni
5) Free Time
6) Bon Voyage
I will do it this time, the BV requirement I have
yet to do one.
3. Welcome bipedal apes, to my challenge; the Obviously Wonderful Beautiful
Catacy. I am Metrion, your founder. I will populate this seaside city with
many gorgeous cats like myself… you dare to laugh? Well how does having
your eyes clawed out sound? I am completely serious..
“Who’s a pretty girl, you are yes you are…”
Curses, the baby talk…my one weakness…
4. “Who’s my pretty kitty?”
Yes, well as any great leader would tell you I am in need of a servant to
tend to my needs, filling my royal dish, providing belly rubs… *puurrrr*
The true founder of the challenge is right here, Geodessa Geology. Her
favourite colour is obvious, she loves purple.
5. I have my servant trained well from the get go.
Geodessa is a Pisces Family/Knowledge sim 5/4/4/3/9, with the LTW
of Reaching her Golden Anniversary. She loves Creative Witches and
Belladonna Cove is a perfect place to find some. Her feline companion
is Metrion, a kitty who thinks she’s queen. Also she’s a Virgo, meaning
she’s a Genius, middle active, very Independent, middle mean/nice
and Finicky so she loves to be clean and perfect.
6. We shall be glorious together.
And so she waits for the 12 pm Welcome Wagon to arrive.
7. Ani-Mei: Squee!! You’re perfect!!
Geodessa: Why thank you strange glowing lady. That’s soo nice of you
to say.
Ani-Mei: Lots of purple people this time, maybe I should have called
you Amethyst instead.
8. Ani-Mei: A few rules though, you have to have
three pregnancies or have three births per
generation, all family members must have a set of
three flamingos, umm, oh yes, you and your
spouse have to both get a Gold Robotics badge,
you need to open a community lot, and you have
to build a servo.
Geodessa: Oh what fun, what else?
Ani-Mei: Your heir has to learn the xylophone trick
before university ends and they have to make a
zombie. All of you per generation must go on a
vacation and collect all mementos for all three
places and you need a Big Foot to follow you
home.
Geodessa: Oh a vacation!!
Ani-Mei: Also, you and your heirs and
their spouses must max your predestined
hobby and if you want a car you have to
buy a Junker and fix it yourself, a genie
is good too. He’s purple like you!!
Geodessa: Is there anything more strange
glowing lady?
Ani-Mei: Yes, two more things and they
are rather important so pay attention.
Geodessa: *nods vigorously*
Ani-Mei: Every generation needs a strong
bodied male to bring an alien child into
the world, the abduction can count
towards the three births, and I want me
some Greenies around here. And finally,
the most important: one of the kids in a
generation must be a Bad Apple, meaning
you have to avoid looking at any of their
stats until Young Adult hood and then
they are only allowed eight commands a
day. But they can’t be allowed to be
taken by the Social Worker as a child,
that is bad. Are we clear on that?
9. Geodessa: That sounds delightful. Except for the ignoring a child thing, my
Family instincts don’t like that.
Ani-Mei: Hence why this is my first time doing it. Just make sure to keep the kid
happy and possibly gold or platinum okay?
Geodessa: Oh happy day!! I am so pleased to be chosen for such a quest!!
Ani-Mei: I may come to regret the 9 Nice point thing…
10. The rest of the Welcome Wagon consisted of Gilbert Jacquet and
Malcolm Landgraab, Belladonna’s Bluewater is a sub hood I haven’t
touched yet. Which is why Gil still looks ridiculous and Malcolm still has
that irritating perma-shadow thing that comes with all Skin 3’s.
11. And why Ani-Mei is free will Serenading him… >_< This is what happens
when I get distracted by my gods in Hidden City and don’t to come
back and fix things here that I forgot about. But anyway, the 6 pm
stalker Downtownie call came and I sent Geodessa off to find a man.
12. Geodessa: Thank you so much for calling to welcome me, strange man
who I never gave my number to, that is soo nice of you.
Downtownie: *insert typical phone invite here*
Geodessa: Of course I’ll go…and I’ll bring my kitty for companionship.
13. So they head down to Red’s 50’s Diner for some well lit, full public
view, non-creepy fun. Downtownie guy is in the blue shirt and shorts,
he brought Hot redheaded Bandana dude from Uni, and three more
whose names are not important.
14. A Scope Room revealed that Geodessa really likes Downtownie dude
who has none of her turn on’s so I don’t get it. But something else
caught my eye, a flash of green…
15. Geodessa: Oh!! Aren’t you the perfect piece of man pie!! I am so
happy I came down here tonight!!
Orion: Umm, what?
Geodessa: You are a warlock!! And creative, I can tell.
Orion: Are you high or something?
16. Geodessa: Goodness no!! I would never do drugs.
Orion: Look, grapey I don’t know what you’re playing at but I ain’t buying.
Geodessa: But…three bolts?
Orion is my Almost-Black Sheep from a long ago abandoned legacy, it was set in
this hood but I lost interest. So I townie-fied the lot of them and Orion here is
my ZERO nice point alien/plant/vampire/werewolf/warlock he never got to the
Zombie stage.
17. Orion: Weird chick.
So instead I sent Geodessa over to talk to bandana boy to see if they
got on well. Two bolts, which is not bad.
18. I think I have my founding spouse. He likes her, bonus!! So with
mission set, Geodessa heads home with a few more contacts on her
list for promotions.
19. Geodessa: So what do you think Erin? Should I ask Trent out?
Erin: I would, he’s literally floating around campus in a daze over you girl. It’s
kinda distracting really.
Metrion: She made the charcoal meat dish again. *noms*
Erin: Hey, umm your cat is on the counter over there…
Geodessa: Oh I know, she likes it up there. Anyway, so he’s really thinking about
me that much?
20. Geodessa: So I heard you missed me, is that right?
Trent: Erin told you didn’t she?
Geodessa: Yep, so how about it? Would you like to leave the humdrums
of college behind and join me here?
Trent: Give up perpetual Dormie immortality? SURE!!
21. Geodessa: Oh dear…I do love the
purple shirt though…but the plaid
shorts are not purple enough for me.
They must go.
Trent: The horrors of transitioning
clothing…I’ll be right back.
22. Trent: So how do I look Samantha? I could really use a woman’s opinion.
Samantha: I like it, it goes well with your dark skin. And the purple
head band and dreads just complete the look.
Trent: Good. Thanks. I’m sure my girlfriend will love it, she has a thing
for purple.
23. Samantha: Oh and if you’re interested, we’re having a meeting of our local Belladonna Cove
Coven and we could always use some new faces and new blood. You’re Knowledge I assume
right? We’re sorely lacking in male warlocks.
Trent: Really? You just broadcast that over the whole store? No secret meetings or top secret
locales?
Samantha: Where do you think you are? Belladonna Cove, the name practically screams
witches.
Sabrina: We could use some Dark Warlocks too. Don’t forget.
******
24. Ani-Mei: D’aww, who’s a perfect little pink kitty? You is, yes you is!!
Metrion: Look into my eyes shiny one…give me a mate worthy of my
superiority…or else.
Ani-Mei: Aww, she meowed at me.
25. And to show you that Geodessa is indeed awesome: she went Digging for
Treasure only FIVE times and she came up with TWO treasure chests!! $10 546
right in the founding generation!! Kaching!! (one was already appreciating in
value from the time she dug it up)
So that is the little Prologue. Will there be plotz abound? Will the kidlets be
cute (and purple, gotta be purple) and who will be generation one’s Bad Apple?
Also, will Metrion get her Obviously Wonderful Beautiful Catacy or will her
princess attitude chase away all the male kitties?
