1.4 - The Marvels of Life

Aah. The afterbliss of finding your first true love. A marvellous experience of floating around in your own personal bubble of pure happiness made of the purest of wonderful dreams. How far will our Kween float off?

"Aaawwww... Feewl shoo funney...."

You don't look too well though.

"Aaah.. Sho hungwah!"

"Meh bewllee! Fewd moi!"

"Moi Shtammek! It hewrtsh!"

Uh oh, that certainly does not look good....

"Bwaargh.."

I guess this is the right time for a commercial break?

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Sick of the age you're living in? Tired of facing the same limits in technology? 

Then go and travel forward in time to Oasis Springs! In our future we have:

Advanced technology! Like our favourite T4m4g0ch1s, your favourite holographic pet in a box!

"Y1p y1p!"

And we even have the latest developments in robot development: plumbots!

"Hello I am HEALTH-E. I can be your personal healthcare companion."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Oh, you're running for the bathroom IN ANOTHER ROOM?!

Sim logic at it's best...

Luckily that room didn't have any guests...

"BWAAARGH!"

"BWAAAARRGHGHGGH!!!"

I really hope that the reason for this is what I think it is."

"Aimma teek a badth to klien uwp."

Good idea.

And I'm also glad for the pixelation there...

"Duntyu laik da loek of moi baddy?"

No, don't go and drown yourself please!

"Nah, jusht washeeng meh haeeyr."

And you don't even bother undoing the bun?

"Nowp, eet lewksh fayn to moi. Now Aim jusht feeksheeng moi appierunshe."

You look fine enough already to me.

"Downt fowrgat dat Aimma shnob shishtar."

Yes you are...

"Aimma owf tew wurk naw. Newshpeppersh, heer Ai cum!"

That last wording was a bit unfortunate though. 

Look at the detail of the taxi wheels. They're actually steering!

"Waatsh awt four theh posht!"

"Owf to meh awffeeshe!"

Meanwhile, Story Progression informs me about these two finding their own home...
The lady on the left is another ugly Sim, which I've created for the purpose to see how the game's story progression would do at going from ugly to pretty. Looks like she's got the jackpot with a Royal marriage to the Prince!

.. Did you change clothes at work?

"Yuppersh, Ai deed. Bawrft on moi peeper deeleefurry shewt."

"An Ai fewl sheeck agawn."

Again? Good.

"Wut?"

Nah, let's get you to your opportunity.

"Taakshee!"

"De meeleyterry beeshe!"

Looks not so comfortable to me. 

"Ai beeleefe dere'sh a deshertewr."

"YaaaY, Gawship bouwt meeleytawree peepsh."

What's up with them?

"Kanshpeerashie owf nawt feewdieng sholdiarsh an fawnteeng when maarsheeng."

Here is a random picture of a dog with their eyes far too close.

"Lesh veeshit Adèle. Taim agow sheenshe Ai shaw her."

Good idea.

"Aww, yew 'ah tweensh!"
"... They're a bit too young to be tweens, aren't they?"
"Naw, tweensh ash in.. tew babbiesh!"

I'm more concerned about her interesting semi-military outfit though.

"Ennieweey, dey're shoo cyute!"
"Thanks. They look like their mother."
"Awww..."

As the sun sets over lovely Hidden Springs though...

... the Full Moon rises and casts it's mischivous light over the town.

And so, a wild zombie appears.

"Better go inside."
"Bwaainnsaaarrgh!"

Sure, leave your newborn kids to become zombie snacks. Good parenting.

Speaking of parenting, guess who's going to be a parent soon?

"Aww, Ai shteel feewl shickish!"

"Bwaaargh!!"

We're interrupting this moment with a couple of pictures of a zombie doing ballet.

The Zombie Lake: coming to theaters near you next full moon. 

"A ye to!"

"Ai luv yewr haushe bay da weey!"

"Thank you, we've worked hard for it."

"Aima hard workar tew! Meed proomooshun!"
"Oh, cool!"

"An noow Aim gonna have moi own babbie shoon!"

"Really?!"

"That's so cool! If you need any parenting questions, just ask me! I have 3 kids myself, so I know everything about raising children."

Yeah, and leaving your newborn babies outside for the zombies to feast on is good parenting?

"A, thankshiesh, will cawl yew when Ai ged annie kweshtyunsh."

"Cen Ai eenterveew yew bai tah weey? For meh jawb. Imma real djeurnaleesh now!"
"Oh, cool! Sure, go ahead."

"Sho, wash yewr pershawnelleytie twaitsh?"
"Neurotic, vegetarian, neat, etc."

Kween, you should actually take notes when interviewing.

"I'm hungry, I'm gonna eat."
"Kay, gonna gow onna deet."
"Good luck."

"Hey, Nicholash, wanna deet meh?"

...

"No, yer onna dayt alreddie? Boo!" 

You hereby have my permission to cheat on him.

"Lesh call dat flurtee dude agawn."

"Aww, yew wanna gow to da clup wid moi? Awshum!"

"Bye zombie mealsbabies."

"Hersh da club... bud whersh he now?"

"BWAAARGH!"

Awesome. Your date is a zombie now.

"Shcreew deesh, lesh go tew da laaibrarie eenshtawd."

"Meeybee Ai can wraait an awrteecle bout Adèle."

"Oh, ello, yew look fameeliar."

"Lonnie Pertridge."

"And I gotta go to the toilet right now!"
"Ow. Shee ya bawck shoon!"

Zooming error: 
Walls. In the front of your face.

"Ello, Aim a tootawl kriep sho Ai went an leeshtened to yew pieing."
"Oh golly, how marvellous."

"Letsh gawsheep. Da millieteray's gawing thruw cawrupt eeshews."
"Oh golly, how marvellous."

"Oh golly, how marvellous."

"Yaaayshies! We're shnawbshisharrsh!"
"Oh golly, how marvellous."

"Kan Ai tutsh yer tittiesh?"

That's new to me, Kweenie.

"Err nope."

Hey, you can say something else than marvellous gollies!

"Aim shorrie four tatsheeng ya teetish!"
"Oh golly, how marvellous."

Suddenly, a tired zombie spawns nearby.

"Oh golly, how marvellous."

"Shtarr shign?"
"Scorpio"
"Aww gawllee, 'ow mervallawsh."

"Lesh pull awf shum shillee faashesh!"
"Oh golly how marvellous."

Meanwhile, the zombie is becoming the visual example of the present day's techno zombie generation. Sticked to their screens.

"Haha, that was funny!"
"Weewhoow!"

"Wier fweendsh naw?"
"I guess so?"

"Hugglesh!!"

"Beey, Aim taaiyurd!"
"Toodles!"

As the Full Moon casts it's magic on the town of Hidden Springs, our Kween goes and finds a place to stay the night.

The mountainside inn it is then.

And while our Kween goes and sleeps, I go and listen to the electronica music and imagine Diane White singing Ladytron. (do it yourself and see how it looks like)




So, in short, Babies are coming! How will Da Kween face the challenges of pregnancy? How will Nicholas react to the news of his unplanned fatherhood? How will his date react to that? Will it be a boy or a girl? Will they look like mummy or daddy? How will Da Kween handle a baby with her homeless lifestyle? How many more questions can we come up with? BYE!
