Hmm...this is the point where as her sister I am tempted to force her to play and update! I have to admit that Artie's house looks even better in game while she is playing and my daughter is still mad at me for making her go to bed and stop helping her Auntie build in Sims.

Nice, I like that Artie went for Vivian.  Laughed at Eric standing in the way.  I know you have some brilliant, strategic reason for giving him such an old bride.  Is it for the extra funds?

Nice house, and I'll echo what others said.  Your alien disguise!  Very good.

I was completely not expecting Artie and Vivian, but Artie is just oozing with charm in this chapter!

This house is so attractively modern! Airy, spacious, filled with light, and then there are those catchy turquoise accents!
Hello again @mrsbclark (we chatted briefly yesterday...)

Yes, go get your sister and inform her that we are waiting eagerly for an update! *taps foot impatiently

OMG!! LMAO! What is Artie up too? Vivian? Should I let Colt read this? I think he would love this.

More updates please.

I am loving your house Rica.

Don't worry! She is currently playing in what might actually be my favorite house ever!

@FrancescaFiori  Hey.. no chatting with her!  She has secrets because I can't hide my screen when she's behind me.  Also there is no forcing me to play and she knows.  I'm ahead of my posting! (like you do)

@Magpie2012 Hey Steph.. and yes another story by me.  Haha welcome to the ride.

@mrsbclark You shush woman! 

@wfgodot I promise that the mystery of his bride won't be a long one.  But it's funny to see you guys reactions!

@oshizu Thank you about the house!  I actually took like an entire afternoon to make it work for how I wanted it to be.  I think it came out pretty good but it looks nothing like the picture I was using for inspiration.  I shouldn't be so stressed over the house yet I am because habits! and Old hobbits die hard. ;)

@sdhoey Thank you!  And you can have Colt read it but I'm sure he'd just nod his head and be like yep.. I might have done the same thing. 



Week 1 - Artie (Part 2)  (Larger Text Version)


Addy - Hey where do you think.. what are you wearing?
Alice - I have to go to work.  I'm a top level scientist you know.
Addy - Actually I didn't.  I could have sworn you were unemployed but okay.  Have fun.


Addy - Last I checked beating the eggs does not actually put out the fire.
Vivian - I know what I'm doing.  I have the highest cooking skill in the house you know.
Addy - I'm well aware and yet I still don't think that's how you put out the fire.
Vivian - There.. all better.  Want some eggs?
Addy - No thanks.


Addy - Well that's one way to finish the Soulmate aspiration.


Vivian - *a little dazed and uncomfortable* Wow that was..
Addy - Congratulations you have now finished one aspiration.  What next?
Artie - Time to go back to the original one and buy connections.  I hear that's broken is it true?
Addy - Yeah but we never liked the stuff you get for the first four levels anwyay.
Artie - I'll miss the bat.  But yeah let's do that.  Vivian my dear, go lay down.
Vivian - Yeah I think I will.


Dennis - *rude introduction*  I know what you're really doing.
Artie - Do you really want to pick a fight with me, old man?
Dennis - I don't like you and if I could move out I will.
Artie - Oh you'll stay old man and you'll take care of my garden and be a good little house slave until you die.
Dennis - I will do no such thing.
Artie - *proceeds to demoralize the old man into giving in.. *


Dennis - You're despicable.
Artie - I know *Disliked by 1 Sim, 10 interactions complete*


Artie - Oh I'm sorry.. is that upsetting..
Dennis - But I didn't get to say goodbye.
Addy - Artie.. you know she's not dead. She's at work.
Artie -Shh woman!
Dennis - I hate you.. *attacks*


Artie - *smacking him* Teach you to attack me!
Dennis - Fight like a man!
Addy - Oy!  Don't kill him!
Artie - You're now my enemy.. tread lightly Dennis Kim.  You live in my house.
Addy - We should separate you two.
Artie - Yeah I need to be disliked bythree more people..


Artie - Hey Bjorn!  How you doing? Did you see the crazy guy with the gold clothes?
Bjorn - Do I know you vile and evil creature?
Artie - Not this time or last time actually but I know you're going to be around forever this time so I just wanted to say... hi.
Bjorn - I don't like that you're evil and request you leave me alone.
Artie - Not until you take your goody two shoes foot and stick it right up your--
Addy - Artie..
Artie - I'm going to keep going until you dislike me.
Bjorn - You're doing a good job of that.
Artie - I'm glad.  I want your snotty nosed kids to hate me for what I'm about to do to you..
Addy - I can't watch.. Let me know when you're ready.

* a few minutes later *
Artie - Ready.. let's go visit that stupid alien.  May as well make him a proper enemy.



Artie - *rude reintroduction* Well if it's it you.. the scum of the Simverse.
Modulated Voice - I didn't want you to come in here.
Artie - Well too bad and here I am and your mother was a llama and her mother was a brownie.
Modulated Voice - Get out of my house.
Artie - I'm sorry I don't understand Brownie Llama.  *makes childish noises and wiggles his hips*


Artie - You know you're not gonna win this.  How about I offer you a deal?  Die now and let your bloodline fail and we can all go back to our normal lives.
Modulated Voice - I am not going to take the bait of your childish antics.
Artie - Yet you are.. I can see that you're angry with me.  Oh do you want to hit me?  I dare you to hit me.
Modulated Voice - That would be an uncivilized solution.  Adrasteia I request his removal.
Addy - I can't get in the middle I don't think.  I'll go find someone who might know.
Artie - Oh C'mon.. hit me.. hit me.. hit me.. or better yet.


Artie - I'll hit you!  *starts a fight*
Addy - *comes back* Hey don't knock over the computer!


Modulated Voice - I see my home world..
Artie - If I could figure out a way to knock you back there I would.  Now stay out of my way.


Modulated Voice - We both know that is not going to happen as we are on the same orders.  So now that you are my enemy can you please depart?
Artie - Just means you're in for a long road of disappointment Goodbye.


Addy - Wait why are we here?
Artie - Gonna ** this one off too.
Addy - He's not even home.


Artie - Not even home when I come to make his life miserable.  What is wrong with him..
Addy - He was probably at work.  He does have a job.
Artie - He's supposed to be where I want him to be when I want to make him miserable.
Addy - Says who?!  I'm glad he was at work.  I'm going to go check on the others.  Shouldn't you be getting things done for work?


Artie - *maniacal laughter*
Addy - Did you prank the eggs or something?
Artie - No but I've just come up with a genius plan. 
Addy - Doubtful.  You still have things you need to do.
Artie - I know and I plan to find a victim as soon as I'm done eating.


Artie - *friendly introduction because you have to give them false hope*  Hi.  I live in this big house here and plan to take over Newcrest.  We've never met before. 
Baako Jang - Hi.  You're weird.. and red.
Artie - Yes but don't you want to hang out with me?
Baako - No.. I really don't.  Good night.
Addy - Your plan for a victim is failing..
Artie - My senses are tingling.. someone is on my front yard.
Addy - Your old man senses.


Artie - Excuse you.. what are you doing on my lawn?
Vlad - Why haven't you come to see me?
Artie - Because you're useless to me in this instance.
Vlad - I am not useless.


Artie - Yes you are.  A vampire with no vampire lore knowledge. I'm not being turned into a vampire and unless you want me to cure you, I have no use for you besides this.. *shakes his hand with a hand buzzer*
Vlad - *jerks around*
Artie - Hey you think you can kill a vampire by doing this a whole bunch?
Addy - Not likely you can't kill anything in this game in that kind of manner.
Artie - That's true. 


Vlad - *hisses* I'm going to bite you now.
Artie - *mocks* I'm going to bite you now.. Time for bed.  Don't come in.. you're not invited.


Artie - Ahh.. you smell that?  That's the smell of sweaty geeks, computers and cosplayers baking in the sun.  Combined with the steady whir of the game systems this is like heaven for the weirdos.  Let's go see who is gonna be here.
Vivian - I'm going to go check out the swag.
Artie - Okay dear.  Try and get posters too if they pop up.


Artie - *mocking*  Well well.. Morty Goth. They say emulation is the best form of flattery and right now I believe it.
Mortimer - You are wrong! This has nothing to do with you, fiend.
Artie - I don't believe you. I  always knew you wanted my job. 
*Proceeds to mock and slander and jeer for hours until he has all but 1 fight left on the third tier of his aspiration*

I'm curious to see what Vlad will do now that Artie has made his acquaintance. I had to laugh at the timing of the GeekCon festival -- the perfect place for Artie to make enemies.

Telling me she has secrets is not going to discourage me from trying to chat with her. :)
Now this chapter I understand! Artie doing what Artie does best! Marvelous. I can't decide which I like better, Vlad being out-Vladed or Mortimer Goth dressed as Artie and trying to deny it. Wonderful!

Rica knows I would never give away anything related to the story! She would just change the story or stop telling me about it and that would be horrible.

Loving this!  Already massively intrigued by what Artie's going to do next and can't wait to spend a week with each of the other bloodlines!

Well, Artie, your antics don't disappoint.  I have a feeling you're going to win this because you're just that good at what you do.  Very nice work with the vampire especially.

Poor modulated voice, I fear he doesn't have a chance.  And the same for Dennis.

Morty doesn't look half bad in that costume, does he.

Last update for Artie's week.. He's very.. Artie isn't he? 

Larger Text Version



Week 1 - Artie (Part 3)


Addy - Artie!  Leave Geoff alone.
Artie - Aww come on.. just wanted to say hi.
Addy - I thought you wanted to visit the vampire's house. 
Artie - Oh yea.. Bye Geoffelicia.
Addy - You make no sense.


Artie - Oh good I finally caught you at home.
Articulated Voice from Before - I had heard that you were making it easy on us.  Starting the tradition of creating enemies.  Thank you for taking some of the work out of finding you late..
Artie - Founders aren't required to have enemies. I'm just enjoying the fun!  Can't you at least turn around?


Articulated Voice - Happy now.  Let's get this over with so I can get on with my day.
Artie - What's wrong with your face? And I don't like that you're happy to see me.  Maybe I should leave.
Articulated - Nothing is wrong with my face and when did you become a chi-- AHHH!


Artie - Dude.. you're floating.
Articulated - What is happening.. Oh it hurts..


Artie - Wow you just got ugly.. real fast.  *snickers*
Articulated - I feel.. I feel.. Oh I'll explore how this feels later *changes out of ugly dark form*
Addy - I think you just went full on vamp. 
Articulated - Yes I do believe so.
Artie - That must suck.  *snickers*


Articulated - Well... get on with it.
Artie - You're taking the fun out of this.  But maybe just maybe... *pounces*


*continues to fight by dragging the man around by his head*
Addy - Really could you hurry this up a bit, he's burning.


Articulated - Next time maybe you won't be so quick to try and fight a vampire.
Artie - *kind of choking and agrees just to be let go, falls to ground*
Articulated - Now if you'll excuse me. I'm going inside.


Addy - Proud of yourself?
Artie - *dazed*  Yeah uh huh.. sure. 
Addy - It's time for work.  Snap out of it.
Artie - Yeah okay.  Didn't even complete the milestone. Going to have to fight someone else.
Addy - Maybe someone you'll actually win against.
Artie - Maybe.. Oh look.. time to go.. Wheeee.


The Next Morning...
Artie - *evilly laughs* It's all coming together so nicely.
Vivian - What's that, dear?
Artie - My plan, of course.  You know Vivian.  When you're done prepping lunch for the boys, why don't we go upstairs to celebrate.
Vivian - Oh my.. Artie.


Artie - *off screen*  Wow Vivian.. That was like the third time in a row.  How you feeling?
Vivian - Whoo boy! I think I might have been overexerting myself a little with you.


Artie - I know how to make you feel better..
Vivian - Oh really?  You sure you want to go again.
Artie - Don't I look ready to go again?


Vivian - Mmmm-Mm.  We should use this closet more often.
Artie - You've got to be kidding, why isn't this working..
Vivian - What was that dear?  I can't hear over my panting..


Artie - Oh nothing.. c'mere.. *passionate kiss*


Vivian - *starts pushing him towards the closet again *
Artie - *begs for it to work this time..*


*FIREWORKS*


Vivian - *panting* Oh that certainly got the heart pumping..
Artie - *also panting*  Yeah..It.. sure.. did.. How you feeling?


Vivian - *still panting* Actually.. it's.. starting to hurt.. Artie.. Ohhh baby.
Artie - Finally...
Addy - So cold. 
Artie - What?  It took like 5 tries that is way more than usually required.


Vivian - I.. I think my heart stopped. Do I have a pulse?
Artie - Not for much longer.


Artie - Goodbye Vivian.  Thank you for playing..
Addy - I can't even deal with you right now.  I'm gonna go check on the other people in the house who have hearts.


Reaper Bob - Hey Artie.. I heard you were back on this side.. who's the body and why do I see your drawers?
Artie - Oh hey Bob.  Oh you know.  Another day, another body, just killin' their dreams..
Bob - That's cold man. 
Artie - Hey she enjoyed her last hours.. trust me.


Bob - Well I'll see you later man.
Artie - Yep you know it.  Say hi to the wife for me.
Bob - Of course, I'll say hi to all of yours too.
Artie - Hey now.


Artie - *mourns for a moment*
Addy - Yeah totally not buying those crocodile tears.  Besides you're red, you look like you're tee'ed off and crying all the time.


Addy - You're looking extremely pleased with yourself.
Artie - Oh I am.. I really am. 
Addy - You know tonight I swap over to the next house when you get home from work.
Artie - Yeah.. have fun while you're gone.  I know you'll miss me.  I'll be over here.. being awesome.
Addy - Riiight.
