The Post Where Things Start To Happen

Welcome back!  How exciting is this?  Last time, our founder, Mat, went to work, then met a girl, and I explained things about faces and how I can't see them very well.  Things move along rather quickly from here, mostly because I forgot to take a lot of pictures.

Despite this, this chapter is actually a lot longer!


Most days start like this - Mat making himself smelly in a garden.

Until the first full moon, when zombies sprouted out of the corner of the house and ate the plants.  I was too irritated to take pictures, and now we don't have full moons.  Not unless I find a really good reason to have plant-eating zombies around.


As promised, Susannah comes over for their second date, and to enjoy the lovely view that Mat doesn't appreciate at all.

Mat displays what I assume is his Childish trait and sneaks up behind her.  She isn't scared, though, and seems delighted to see him.  Once again, I didn't get a picture of this, because again I fail, but I took it to mean true love was in bloom.


Which is how we get here so quickly!



And then here...

Told you this would move right along!



Meet Susannah Arcana!  Susannah moved in with no skills, no job, and no friends.  She had a radio, an umbrella, and a book in her inventory.  She has the ability to change into the Llama and Gnome mascots, which I have not done, because apparently I'm just not curious enough.

She has six traits for some reason.  Maybe Llamas get extra.

Also, I spelled Vegetarian wrong.



Now that he's married, I agree to build Mat a real house.  It's got three rooms, which is one more than I have.  Fancy!


Mat is super excited about this.  Su just skips off to bed, like a house didn't just appear out of nothing.  You can just barely see the edge of her foot there.

Mat:  Yeah!  Windows!  Whoo!

He claps at each one of the windows, but boos the toilet.  I dunno.


He checks the toilet (which he already owned, by the way, why is he even reacting to it?) against the internet, and finds it good.  Or maybe he's looking at cat pictures.  I don't know.

Mostly, this picture is to show off the kind of trippin' bathroom wallpaper, which is what bathroom wallpaper is for.

I don't have a smart phone, either.  Sims have all the luck.


Mat:  I am SO HUNGRY.


Mat:  SO HUNGRY


Mat:  Hello?  Can you get a pizza here before I starve, please?  Yeah, pepperoni.  15 minutes or less, right?  Oh, and a firetruck too if you can.  What do you mean, that costs extra?!


This chick looks like I feel.  WHY are you thinking about bookstores right now, Su?


Firefighter:  I am NOT marrying their kid.

Uh, yeah, okay!

I didn't write down your name, though, so who knows.  I already married in the llama.


Su:  You know, maybe you just shouldn't touch the stove from now on.

Mat:  My pizza never came :(


Shouldn't you be consummating your marriage now?  

Mat:  Can't!  Gotta go!

What?  It's the middle of the night!  Where do have to go?!

(Notice the new fire alarm)


Seen here:  Mat checks himself into the insanity ward.  Guess the loss of that pizza really scarred him.

Replacing the counter and stove cost the very last of their money, by the way.  They now have $0, so I hope his insurance covers this.


Mat spent the night restoring his Great Kisser trait from Neurotic, but he returns home in tact.  Time to consummate!

Mat:  Wrrrowl!

....Is she skilling?!

Too bad marriage gives a mandatory vacation from work.  We have no money.


Su:  I thought we agreed you'd stop cooking?


Mat:  Even I can't burn autumn salad, dear.


It could be the baby, or the salad, or the wallpaper.  You decide.

(It's the baby)


Mat:  Oh God, oh God, oh God, we have no money and a baby coming, oh God...

Deep breaths, Mat!  No more crazies!


So Susannah is a Party Animal.  I'm not usually one for parties (or socializing), but I figure I'd better give it a try, since she keeps rolling all these wishes for them.  

She wanted to throw a pool party.  I didn't see the option for one, probably because we don't have a pool, but I assumed spending our very little money (someone got vacation pay) and hosting the party at the local pool would count.  Nope.

I was so flustered, I only took this one, truly terrible picture of it.  There were something like 11 people there, really.  It wasn't 'Great' but people had a good time.  I assume it's because you can't talk and swim at the same time, so not a lot of socializing happened.

Su's in the background with the walls down, throwing up again.


Afterward, I try to celebrate their incoming child with a romantic outdoor super-expensive dinner.  The not only don't get dressed, but also sit at different tables.  That's $150 that didn't even result in a nice picture.  Good job, guys.

I didn't care about the plumbob at this point.


I spent the very last of their cash (I think I miscounted somewhere, because this doesn't add up.  ...at some point they had no cash, I don't remember when) on a rocking chair Su wishes for.  I like it a lot!



Mat:  Zzzzz....

And this is where I leave you!  Next time, dancing and babies!

Too-da-Lu!
