Ariel Faylyer is still trying to get her LTW. And all the statues. Because she's totally vain and trying to tick off the Watcher, who just wants to start the ISBI, already!!!

1. Teh Faylyers
Chapter 2A
Usually, I play to show off my simming skillzors,
but this time, I'm playing reverse-style, and
letting them have their own way. Let's see how
many failure points I can earn, while still
keeping the family going for 5 generations.
Like the Limbo, How Low Can I Go?

2. Author's Note: I got sucked into the glory of Into the Future, since I never
really explored it all, and I'm still trying to get Ariel's LTW of
experiencing all the futures, and then putting it back to normal, while
also getting all the legacy statues. Because I want to experience all the
legacy challenges, basically.
However, Ariel gave me serious attitude, and I have to punish her. She'll
get her LTW, but then, havock will reign! HAHAHAHA!

3. Well, I'm back home, and even though I had taken a nap back in the
future, I'm exhausted now. I suppose it won't hurt to get back onto a
regular daytime schedule, though. Octavia, come with me to a fishing
spot, and we'll get you settled there, until I can deal with you again
tomorrow. Then, I'm gonna hit the sack, and maybe come up with a
plan for how to work things out now. Voice is really angry with me.

4. Here. I'll tune you up. Then you see if you can't catch some death fish,
OK? Ambrosia is lovely.
“You're a fairy. You don't need ambrosia.”
I may need to revive a ghost, or something. Or I can give it to a toddler,
or child, at the beginning of their life stages, and they can have a week
of high aspiration. It's a good thing.

5. Octavia: Watch where you'r sticking that tool!
Aaaaaaah! You electrified me!
“HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! Thank you, Octavia! I needed that. I've never
seen that before, and since you were best friends with Ariel, I never
thought you'd refuse a tune-up, anyway. AAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!”

6. “Well, Ariel, at least she's still fishing.”
Don't bother me. I'm freaking out over here. You hate me and want me
to suffer!
“Well, you might want to finish your freak out before the ghost haunts
you.”
Ghost?! Oh, no! Get me out of here!

7. I invited a couple of women over here. Hopefully, I can convince them to
wear this outfit. I need to convince five or six, right? Not too bad.
“You need to pay your bills, too. You owe almost $250!”
I'll sell some of the stuff I have in my inventory. Did you know I had three
squirrels? I'll probably sell off some of the fish Octavia collected, as
well. I'll be OK.

8. “Are you sure this woman is your friend?”
Yeah! It said so in my relationship panel.
“Well, looks like she's not, anymore.”

9. OMG! She attacked me! Did you see that, Voice? She attacked me!
For no reason! We're enemies, now. Enemies forever!
“And she's not going to take that outfit from you, either.”
Flergle!

10. Emit, you need to help me fix the future. I don't know how much longer
Voice will let me put off having a family, and she's obligated to let me
go for my LTW, but with a family, it will be much more difficult.
Emit: Here, start scanning people while they laugh. You're good at
telling jokes. Just go around town, and tell some jokes, get some
scans, and I'll tell you what to do next.

11. This is easy. I can make anyone laugh!
“Hey, wait. Is that the grocery store?! Did you just buy another winning
lotto ticket?!”
See? Hilarious!
Random Teen: Are you actually teasing the Watcher?

12. Just in case you decide to yoink my winnings, I'm making money the old-
fashioned way: Selling stuff in my inventory. Not meteors.
“Well, good for you.”
I'm selling all the low-level fruits and veggies I harvested from the garden
in the future, and I'm saving the higher quality ones to start my own
garden, for Octavia to tend.

13. Now to quickly pay the bills, before she yoinks stuff. And I have just
enough money to buy an alchemy cabinet to store stuff in. It's good to
be able to sort things, after all.
And while I was sorting things out, I found a few trait chips I didn't need,
and sold those off, too, and bought a few other things with the money. I
now have $3 left, and we'll see what the lotto does.

14. Emit gave me some dew to use on myself, then asked me to go around
town and use all of it on others. I need to use it on six other sims. I
hope I have better luck with this than I have on the clothes podium.
Maybe, if I can get enough money, I'll just have to buy a little park, and
put the podium on it, and see if people will visit it and buy it, then.

15. WOW! I just won $300,000 in the lottery! Oh, come on, let me keep it!
Please let me keep it! I promise to be miserable, if you'll just let me
keep it.
“Sigh. Look, I want to see that Trendsetter statue as much as you do, but
I don't want you living the high life without actually working for it. So I'll
tell you what. You buy a park. A PARK, mind you, and put your
pedestals in it. Get your fashion out there. THEN I will yoink.

16. “It's nice to have a place close to the family home for people to gather
and look at fashion, as well as do park-type stuff. And I'm getting 60
points for that lotto win! So, I'll let you have this. I'll even let you have
the income from it. But after this, NO MORE LOTTO! EVER!”
A/N: I almost never play with the Katy Perry Sweet Stuff, but I do actually
quite like it. So, here's a Sweet Park for my sims to enjoy! Yay!
Besides, it's pre-built, so I only need a few additions. Yay.

17. So, I'm off to spend nearly $100,000 on that beautiful park, which I'm
sure will bring in loads of money in investment returns.
“Think again. It only has one grill and two picnic tables, which means it is
only level 1, and there's no room to expand the picnic areas, without
removing all those pretty trees, which I won't allow you to do.”
Well, I'll still get a small income from it. Plus, I can busk.

18. “I yoinked your funds. Now you have zero simoleons, and no job, so you
have to earn money, like a proper ISBI sim, selling stuff you find
(except meteors) or create, and no more lotto winnings.”
No worries. I just got invited to a party, where I can spread this future
dew around, and change the future to Utopia! After that, I still have
time to become a Trendsetter and a Lustrous Entertainer, before I put it
back to normal. I can do this!

19. “Please note: All-in-one bathrooms do not count as toilets for the real
estate office, so the park is closed! And no, I won't let you sell that
thing for the money to build a proper toilet. I'm going to make you earn
that, yourself. Bwaaahahahaha!”
Guess what: I still have a lot of trait chips to sell. Nyah! Nyah! I'll just
take this one to use at home.

20. Just recoloring everyone at the party.
Joe: Saaaaayyyy, you're hot stuff!
Aren't you married? I don't want to get entangled with a married man.
But have some colored dew.
Joe: Uh, thanks?

21. It's late, and I'm tired, but I want to get these podiums set up before I go
to sleep, so they can do their job while I'm resting. Then, I need to go
to the graveyard and tune up Octavia. After that, I can get started on
planting the garden, and bring Octavia home, after she's caught a few
death fish. And as soon as I get enough cash, I can dig that pond and
stock it with fish, so we have a limitless supply, as well as something
for Octavia to do at home. It's going to be busy around here.

22. Obviously, I'm too sleepy to do this right. I'm going to bed. I'll try again
tomorrow. Or should I say, later today. It's so late! Early. Whatever.
It's dark out.

23. Great! Whenever I miss my friends from the future, I can just use
Octavia to holo-project them right into my home. But I might swap out
that trait chip with a Steel Cook, once I get a real kitchen installed. I
can eat anything I want, for free, from the food replicator, but I never
get a really good moodlet, no matter how outstanding the quality is.
Time will tell.

24. Alright, Octavia. You've been here two nights, and only caught one death
fish. Let's try this again. You stay here, and I'll go plant my garden. I'll
come get you in the morning, so you can water and weed it, and then I
guess I'll have to escort you back here in the evening. I want at least
10 death fish, so we can stock the pond at home!

25. Hello, Count. Say, I don't know what's wrong with all the gems I brought
back from the future, but I can't cut them, for some reason. They're no
good to me, but at least I can sell them to you, right?
Count: Sure, I'll take them off your hands.
Great! I need the money, and Voice can't stop me from selling gems.
They're not meteors. I got them from diving into rifts.

26. So, do you have any glow orbs? I need to get my garden planted.
Count: Nope, sorry. But you can try again some other day.
Nevermind. I have exactly one at home. I just wanted to plant some
more. But I will sell the rest of my trait chips, and use it to buy and sell
some elixirs. Some of them are really useful, and I want them for
myself, and others, I'll just swap.

27. Octavia: Must view potted plants.
“Hehe. She still only has one death fish in her inventory. Face it, Ariel,
you're going to have to do you graveyard fishing yourself. But by all
means, dig that pond at home. It's almost winter, so there's lots of time
for fishing. Hehe.”
Shut up, Voice.

28. Finally! We have a garden that should keep even a bored plumbot busy
and happy. And now, after I take a nap, I'm going to go dig that pond,
stock it with the fish I already have, and then go finish up this business
of bringing about Utopia.

29. I have four different fishing spots, that are all “decent,” with a variety of
fish in each, although I'd certainly like to add some more. But that will
probably be up to me. Meanwhile, Octavia can keep us well supplied
with fertilizer for the garden. Except when the pond is frozen, when at
least we can skate on it. I think it's big enough for that.

30. With the garden well in hand, Octavia spends her spare time fishing.
This is great! I don't mind hunting down the other types of fish, myself.
Of course, I'm only collecting freshwater fish, because I can only stock
freshwater fish. Hmmmm, maybe I should visit China or Egypt, or even
France, to expand my collection. After all, if I can fill that pond with a
variety of fish, an Angler's Collection LTW would be easy!
“You're trying to annoy me again, aren't you?”

31. Well, isn't this nice! I just earned $5,000 along with 100 celebrity points.
And Voice couldn't stop me, because it's an opportunity, not a job.
“Fair enough. I still say you're making too much money for a proper ISBI,
but I suppose you can blow this quick enough, when you expand the
house for a nursery.”

32. I am bummed. Being a celebrity certainly has its perks, like the odd
discount here and there, and even some gifts in the mail. But I HATE it
when people spread lies about me! I lost several friends, and when I
tried to sue for slander, I lost the case! HOW?! Couldn't the fact that
there was no police record of me being arrested prove that I did not get
arrested? But nooooooo! “This court recognizes the fact that the
police force is not up to snuff in their record keeping. DENIED!”

33. Anytime anyone wants to buy some clothes, I'm ready! I have something
for everyone from children to elders. Anyone? Please?

34. Whyyyyyy?! I literally put your charging station in the garden, and now
you left the garden to do this?! How dare you!
“At least he's not doing the unapproved shut down that costs 5 points.”
Oh, like you care about that. You'd be happy to see that. Now I'll
probably have to repair that thing. And I'm busy! This garden is
actually too big, it seems.

35. And now, instead of going back to finish the garden, which really needs
watering, you're just standing there, staring at the food replicator.
“Heehee! You're gonna lose your money trees.”
Alright! This calls for desperate action!

36. Emit: Get up! Get up! Guess what!
What?

37. Emit: Ummmm, can't tell you. Gotta go. Bye!
Author's Note: It was at this point that Ariel discovered that Emit was an
Absent-Minded Loner. I genuinely think he forgot why he came here,
and went home to refresh his memory. I literally got absolutely no
notification of why he came, but I'm hoping it was because people
finally bought those outfits.

38. Welcome, Niner! If you'll just give me a little while to create the right
batch of trait chips, you'll be all set. Gardening, of course, is a high
priority. Also, I think I'll let you take over entertainment duties, with
music, because that sounds fun. And I guess you can fish, too.
Anyway, wait there, while I come up with your traits, OK?
Niner: Yes, Mistress.

39. Oooooh! I don't like this. All this technology surrounding me!
“Wait. What? Let me see... Your traits! All your traits are different.
You're a technophobe!”
Yeah, I had a really weird dream, and now, I see the world in a whole
new light. I wonder if it has anything to do with that darned plumbot
screwing with my electronic bed. I'll bet it does! Technology stinks!

40. Technology stinks, but when you're desperate, you'll use it, anyway. I
need help with the garden! Now get to work, so I can ignore it, and in
fact, I'll just ignore the two of you. Just give me the harvest every now
and then, and let me know when it's time to replant. Ugh.
Oh, and I gave you the artist chip, instead of angler, so I can give you a
little studio, and you can paint beautiful pictures for me to hang on the
walls, or just sell.

41. “That's it! You change that personality. By the way, it's about time you
changed the future to Utopia, you know. I'm getting impaaaatient.”
No! No! Not the purple penguin! Keep it away from me!
“Ah. Bad dream. This could lead to a very interesting personality, but as
long as you're not a technophobe, it should be alright. I suppose.”

42. Nope. I still hate technology. Also, I'm sleepy, all over again. Going
back to bed, now. Even if it is electronic. Darn it! I'm so sleepy!

43. I kept waking up sleepy, from being a technophobe in an electronic bed.
But now, I am well-rested. I am also a genius, workaholic, unlucky
sailor, with a photographer's eye.
“Did you say, 'unlucky'? Haahahahahaha! We're keeping it! Now, get
back to the future!”

44. Niner! No! Bad plumbot! You have your own charging station AND
you're solar powered. It's morning! Go outside, you idiot!
Gads. This doesn't count as passing out, right?
“I'm beginning to think I should count it that way, but I haven't, so I'll be
consistent and not count it. Oh, well.”

45. It's UTOPIA!!!! I wonder what differences there are, aside from just the
appearance. It's a beautiful night, here. The day should be even
lovelier.
“That's great. Look, do your thing, and then get back and finish your
LTW, OK?
I still have to learn the laser instrument, but OK. I'll hurry this time.

46. CJ threw a curious dew at me. I feel pretty in pink! I'm gonna go around
and collect ALL the dew, and dig in all the dig spots, which I saw when I
was looking for my descendants, but didn't go all the way over there,
yet. Anyway, YAY! Utopia!

47. Nope. Trendsetter is still not me. When are those sims back home going
to buy my clothes, huh?
“Maybe they don't like the color scheme?”
What? It's green and yellow! Who doesn't like green and yellow?
“You got me there. It is, by far, the best color scheme. I guess they're
just all stupid, or something. But it will happen, eventually.”

48. “Oh, no! Hey, Ariel! Guess what! I totally forgot that for an ISBI,
everyone, INCLUDING YOU, has to have Insane as one of their traits.
So that means you're gonna be dreaming of a new personality every
night, until you get that trait, and then never use that dream again. Oh,
brother. And then, the children's traits are all randomized, except for
insane, which they have to get as soon as possible. On the plus side,
you'll lose the Unlucky trait.”

49. Wow, Emit! These flowers are amazing! And I've already caught a
rainbow butterfly and rainbow beetles. I may not have the meteors
falling all over for a profit, but I'll clean up on the insects, instead.
Emit: If Voice will allow it.
“Tell you what: You need the Insane trait, so you have to dream of a new
personality until you get it. I think you have time.”

50. ONLY until I get insane?
“Oh, well, I'll give you the spring, then, so you can fish. How's that? Stay
through the spring, and then come summer, if you have insanity as a
trait by then, you go home. And if you don't, just keep dreaming of
personality change until you get insanity. And whatever mix you end
up with, that's what your personality will be, for the rest of your life.
Enjoy fishing for whatever utopian fish you can find. I'm sure it's nice.”

51. “Haha! I love how everyone struts around here. This future is great!
Maybe you should just leave it that way, instead of bringing it back to
normal.”
But... my LTW!
“OK. Maybe you can change it back to Utopia, after you do your LTW?
For your descendants to enjoy?”

52. Oh, wow! Meteors fall in Utopia, too. That's strange.
Should I even bother to pick up those meteors? I can't sell them. I
suppose I could put them around my lot, as decoration. The large
ones, in particular, are striking.
“They're also attractive. As in, attract aliens.”

53. I'll fish in the spring, and work on the laser rhythmawhazzit all winter, so
that when I go back in time, I'm primed for that legendary statue, at
least. And someday, sims will buy some of my clothes and I'll go back
to the future and find myself on that fifth statue. I swear it! I have a
30,000 point locked for it, after all!
“Just be sure you do it before your heiress takes over.”

54. Even in Utopia, it's still a scary boom, and probably dangerous to non-
metallic sims.
You know what? I'm going to collect the meteorites, anyway, as a matter
of principle. And because they're cool. And who knows? Maybe I'll
have an alien descendant, if I scatter them around the yard and put in a
telescope. Alien kids are cute.

55. That's what the digging spot is! It's the pot of something resembling gold,
at the end of the rainbow! I can't wait to dig it up. I'm just glad the
snow has cleared. The ponds are still frozen, but it looks just like
spring. How glorious!

56. I dug up a rainbow butterfly, because that makes perfect sense! Yay,
Utopia!
And how do you like that sky? GLORIOUS!

57. This pond has thawed out, as well. The fishing spots were frozen just
this morning. I guess winter and spring are a bit confused here in
Utopia.
“Winter and spring are a bit confused in the present, too. As are winter
and fall. Pretty much the only season you can actually count on fishing
is summer. Greenhouses are pretty much a necessity if you want your
plants to grow for more than a season and a half. Darn dormancy.”

58. So, Voice, I have a 7500 point want to catch every fish. I know I need to
stick mostly to freshwater fish, but remember that idea to go to China or
Egypt or France, to find more variety? I really think I should go to
China when I get back, just to get the variety of fish. It's a worthwhile
want, and I can busk on this thing when I get there, too. It should work
to get me that legendary statue, right?
“OK, I like traveling, so I'll OK that, before your next trip to the future.”

59. I'll pay to bring Niner along with me, as she'll pay for herself and more,
with her busking. But I'll leave Octavia at home when we go to China.
There won't really be anything for her to do. Well, except fish enough
to stock our ponds. OK. She can come, too. But we'll need to get the
money for tickets for three! And I'll have to take them all places where
they can do what they need to do for me. Too bad I can't just TELL
them where to go, instead of escorting them here and there.

60. Well, bless my lucky stars! I got a big payout of just over $53,000, and I
don't even know why! Do you know why?
Random townie: Nope. Haven't got a clue. You must have made some
sort of investment, or something? Or maybe it's prize money from
being on the legacy statues?
Oh! I hope so! I should be able to keep that!

61. Why have a snowball fight, when you can have a dew fight, instead?
Although, it doesn't seem to have much effect on a plumbot's colors.

62. “Well, winter is almost over, and you haven't changed into an insane
person, yet. You might have to use your points to have a midlife crisis
and change them that way.”
Or a potion. The elixir store often sells personality potions. Anyway, I
still have a season left. But look at the bright side. I keep getting
opportunities and am nearly a level 5 celebrity!

63. “Ariel! You're controllable! What happened?”
I tried to get them to let me into their house, so I could use their
bathroom, but it's too late, and they wouldn't open the door.
“Haha! That's -5 points! Now it's starting to look more ISBI-ish. Feel like
passing out, too?”
I'm going back to the community center, thanks.

64. “This is what you're staying for, so you can stock those rainbow snails at
home. Remember, come summer, you're going home, especially now
that you have become insane, again.”
Yes, I'm insane. And I'm also a brave, gathering, heavy sleeping, natural
cook. So, if I wake up for a burglary or fire, I can deal with it, without
calling for help.

65. It's the last day of spring, and I'm working on a celebrity opportunity,
while Octavia fishes for rainbow snails. The other fish can be caught at
home, but these fish are special, and I want to stock our pond.
Oh, and there was a sale at the bookstore, so I stocked up, since I got
that big mystery payout. But I saved just enough to fix the problem of
nobody buying my futuristc fashions. You'll see when we get back
home.

66. “Shouldn't you be going back to the present, now?”
Awww, come on. Please let me cut these gems I found here, so that they
don't get all screwed up and useless, like the others I found in the
future that I couldn't cut, before?
“Oh, very well, but then it's time to GO HOME.”

67. “So, you have an idea to get sims to buy your clothes?”
Ummmm, I need another $25,000. There's a lovely laundromat/clothing
store all built up, but I need more money to buy it.
“Well, you'd better get cracking on making some money then, hadn't
you?”

68. Consigning the gems I cut is probably going to get me a lot of money, but
that will take a few days to sell them all. In the meantime, I have to
come up with some other way to make money, that isn't a job, since
they are forbidden to my family, except for fulfilling lifetime wants.

69. “I suppose you could sell some of those gnomes you got from smelting
metals.”
No, thanks. I prefer to keep them. They're cute! Did you know they can
have babies, too? I'll sell the metal ingots, though. I have a lot of
them.

70. Maybe I can find some more stuff to sell, if I look through some
dumpsters. Consigning things is a good way to make money. I just
need enough to buy that laundromat, and convince the sims to buy my
clothes. Somewhere where lots of people go to do a necessary errand,
and have to stick around, waiting for the laundry to wash and dry, and
have nothing better to do than just look at fashion pedestals. For
hours. I'll save up for it, I swear!

71. Emit: You did it! You sold enough clothes at your candy park that you
changed history, and now YOU are The Trendsetter!
WOW! Really?! I thought no one was buying them!
Emit: Nope. They were buying them. It just took them a long time, that's
all.

72. Well, I guess I don't need to buy that laundromat, after all. Still, I'll sell
what I don't need, because money is good.
Consignment Specialist: Nope! I'm not going to let you. Too bad. So
sad.
What?! It's just a good thing I already succeeded. I'll just take my
business elsewhere, like directly to the catalog, or something.

73. Golly, Emit! Do you realize what this means? All I have to do is max out
my skill at the laser-thingy, and get 10 sims to watch me play after that,
and then I just have to change the future back to normal and go back,
and I'll have ALL the statues! WOW!
Emit: I will miss having the statue of myself, but I cannot deny, you've
earned it. Already, you have done more for the future than I ever have.

74. This calls for a celebration. I'm actually going to spend money at the
bistro, rather than eat the synthesized food for free. I even stayed for
dessert, and they gave me a discount, because I'm a celebrity.
You know, I'm still holding onto that wish to catch all the fish. If I got
traveling, and get the fish to stock a pond, why not build a fishing spot
right here, where sims can catch a worldwide variety of fish, without
having to travel the world?

75. “How about, you finish your laser-instrument training, get that count of 10
sims watching you, and then fulfill your lifetime want, first? After that,
you can find yourself a husband and take him on a honeymoon,
anywhere you want to go. I won't complain. But would you please, just
get ON with starting your family? Please?”
Well, since you ask so nicely, alright. Just as soon as I fulfill my LTW, I
will look about me for a husband.

76. The gnome army is growing! I have some plasma fruit growing, and
intend to keep growing them, in case one of my descendants changes
to a vampire. In the meantime, I'm eager to see just how many of these
little guys I can collect.

77. “Aren't you supposed to be working on your laser thingy?”
But, I have a celebrity challenge. I need to work out for four hours. And
look! I bought a weight bench, so I can build strength, instead of
always doing cardio. I've already run enough to be counted as a
marathon runner. From now on, I'll do strength training, instead. It's
good to be strong.

78. “I must say, I like how you handle gardening. You earned all the skill
points, and can plant anything you want, which is good, because these
two can't plant a thing. But they can certainly make things grow! Their
fertilizer is amazing, and unlimited, and between the two of them, they
can keep a large garden going without much input from you, beyond
planting new crops. Your family will never want for fresh ingredients, if
it can be grown, and all of the highest quality.

79. “Playing for tips in the library is good, and using the aura of creativity is
better, but you know, you're in your underwear.”
So? I look gorgeous.
“Well, it might turn off the prudes in town.”
Meh. Prudes don't spend time at the library, anyway.

80. Come on, Octavia. I want enough death fish to stock our pond at home.
I wonder if I can catch them in the daytime, if it's at home?

81. There's one day left until summer! Why is it still snowing?
“Why do you still have holiday lights on your house?”
Because it's still freakin' SNOWING! Do you know how hard it is to get a
fish pond stocked with deathfish when the pond keeps freezing? I want
the snow to stop, and the temperature to rise, and I want it to stay
warm for THREE WHOLE SEASONS!

82. Otis: No, baby Karri. We're stargazing. The stars are up! In the sky!
Karri: What's sky?
Otis: The thing that's hanging above our heads. Look up at it.
Karri: Oh, that. How bowwing.

83. Niner! You have a charger, and it's daytime. Why?
-5

84. “Wait. Why are you making ambrosia?”
Because I want to. It's worth 2500 points!
“You are a fairy! You're going to have children, pass on the torch, and be
an uncontrollable sim, taking up space, FOREVER!”
HAWHAHAHAHA! And with only 19 days until I age to an adult, too!

85. It's six in the morning, and my fishing plumbot is catching deathfish for
me, in my own pond. No more midnight trips to the graveyard, unless I
just want to see ghosts.
“And, of course, you want to keep your supply of deathfish well stocked, I
suppose, so you can make ambrosia forever.”
Well, at least until I pass the torch. Hahaha!

86. “Eh, go ahead. It's unbreakable, now.”
Niner, you do know that you have your own charger station, right?
Niner: Yes, Mistress. I siphoned energy from it just yesterday.
“Plumbots are stupid. Everything in the house needs to be unbreakable,
because plumbots are stupid.”

87. That's it! Level 10! Now I just need to perform for 10 sims, and I can
finally go back to the future and fulfill my LTW! And then, I can go to
China, and fulfill that want to catch “every type of fish,” which just
means enough variety of fish, and I can totally do that in China!
“Alright, but no tomb crawling. Leave that for your descendants, IF they
want to do it. Explore above ground all you want, but no tombs!”

88. Author's Note: I actually adore tomb-crawling, which is why I'm banning it
for her. If I let her get started on the tombs, she will NEVER get
married before SimNaNo is over. I need her to get married and have
some kids to get those passing out and peeing themselves points! It's
time to get this ISBI started, already, dangit! If a future torch-holder
wants to do tomb-crawling that's fine. I'll have earned some ISBI points
by then, I'm sure.

89. “Wait. How did the paparazzi die? He wasn't even old!”
Kristi: I kicked him to death. The Gnome Army Defends the Household!
Fear Our Wrath!
“Holy smokes! I had no idea you could do that. Well, uh, thanks for
defending the household? Maybe not quite so fatally, next time?”

90. Author's Note: I have never had a sim spontaneously combust before,
but apparently, it was hot enough, and this guy had been outside
forever, so he succumbed.
Voice, I want to resurrect him. It's worth 10,000, and I know how to make
ambrosia.
“That will put him in the household! Are you going to marry him?”

91. You said I need to find a husband. It would certainly be convenient.
After all, he'd never die, so I'd never have to mourn him and get that
awful moodlet from losing a spouse.
“No. Just no. If you can find a way to resurrect him, that's fine, but kick
him OUT of the house afterward, because you are NOT going to marry
a paparazzi ghost. I won't have it. NO GHOST SPOUSES! I haz
spoken!”

92. Kristi: I am sitting pretty on my victory trophy!
Grim: DUDE. YOU DID NOT KICK HIM TO DEATH. STOP TAKING
CREDIT FOR IT.
Kristi: But, if people don't think I killed an intruder, they'll think it's safe to
invade our home! Burglars! Burglars, everywhere! Please let me tell
everyone I kicked him to death? Pretty please?

93. Grim: WHATEVER, KID.
Kristi: Fear the Home Security System Of DOOOOOOOOM!
Grim: AAAAAH. I AM TERRIFIED. YOU ARE SO SCARY.
Kristi: Awww. Thanks, Grim! You're the best!
Grim: I TRY. WHEN MY DUTIES ALLOW.

94. This place is busy, and should be a great place for me to perform for 10
sims. I can get tips, too.

95. The problem with being a four-star celebrity is that nobody just watches
me perform. They interrupt me to ask for my autograph. I have exactly
zero tips and zero witnesses to my level 10 magnificence.
“This is going to take as long as the Trendsetter thing, isn't it?”
I won't give up! I'll go play at all the hotspots I can find, until ten people
notice that I am ACTUALLY PLAYING AN INSTRUMENT!!!

96. Oh, wow! A tip! That means someone is actually watching me. And not
just the paparazzi taking pictures. Hooray! Now, I just need nine more.
Tell your friends, please!

97. So many people, so few paying attention. I have been watched by two
people now. Those two in the park even tipped me, over and over, and
yet nobody else even acknowledges my musical prowess. They just
ask for pictures and autographs, and don't give a hoot about music.
Surely, there must be a place where people will actually enjoy watching
me perform. Perfoooooorm. Performance Park! I'll try there!

98. Many of my garden plants were just plain stuck, including all four of the
money trees. After letting as many live their full lifespan as would
actually go through their whole lifespan, I tossed all the remaining stuck
plants, and will start the garden again fresh. This time, though, I will
know just what I am planting where, instead of using mystery seeds,
and can plan a better layout, with both chargers inside the greenhouse.
But that is something for next time, after I return from the future.

99. Sigh.

100. The full moon, when zombies come to your house to die. If I wanted to
start a ghost collection, I'd have a good start, already.
“No, thanks. A ghost collection is not for you. Just keep playing the
laser-thing until you can go back to the future for your LTW, and we can
end this chapter!”
I'm even more eager than you are, Voice. I want my LTW!

101. I am a Superstar! I never have to work out again!
“But you will, because you want to complete the challenges?”
Why? I wanted to be strong, and I am. I might maintain that, but I'm not
worried about challenges. I'm going to celebrate with some dessert
now. Yummmy!

102. Performance Park was a bust. Everyone was watching the sims on
stage, instead of me. But it's Spooky Day, and when all else fails,
throw a costume party! Surely at least one of my guests will actually
watch my performance, now.

103. YEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!! It finally happened! I finally got enough people to
watch me play! Thirty-thousand lifetime happiness points, and I get the
legacy statue and now I can finally go back to the future, and fulfill my
lifetime want! Then, I get to travel, and catch all the fish all over the
world, while I look for my ideal husband. YAAAAAYYYYY!
“Congratulations! I am SO glad this is over. Next time, it's travel, fishing,
and romance. Happy Simming!”
