Thank you everyone for stopping by! It does me something good to see so many responses and the story hasn't even really begun yet.
@LenaLJ I promise to not make you wait too terribly much longer for the actual story but you know I have to do a set up first.
@MarianT I hope that I don't disappoint then with how this is going but it feels right so that should help.
@cyclonenic Thank you! I try to make sure that the story is as fun for the readers as it is for me. Though to be honest, I enjoy teasing just a little bit. So now you've been warned!
@FrancescaFiori Isn't that everyone's favorite type of meat? Even the Vegetarians seem to enjoy it!
@sdhoey you know me well but don't forget I always keep an ace up my sleeve. and Rotation play scares me too BUT not as much as it touches my little micro-managing nerves. I'm doing it anyway!
@ratchie I would expect nothing less from your Sims and you should know mine are never well-behaved.
@oshizu You knew before anyone else I would take the leap and I appreciate your support before and during this.
As a note for those that enjoyed the Larger text versions of my IDC with Artie Grim, I am working on getting the wordpress setup once again and once that's available it will become a thing for this thread too. Just going to take me a bit to remember how. haha! Hey I got it to work.
Larger Text VersionWithout further adieu....
Prologue - Meeting the Competition
Brash Voice: Oh you have got to be kidding me! Whose idea was it to meet on top of a ziggurat?!
Brash Voice: *slight huff* So many stairs.. way too early for this nonsense. And without a book of life too? Crazy people with crazy ideas.
*huff*
Brash: Almost there.
Brash: Oh great it's you two. I can't believe the nerve of your factions showing up like this with you two!
Articulated: *same time as Brash* You've got to be kidding me..
Modulated: Late as always. I told you he wouldn't disobey a direct order.
Brash: My orders are not going to stop me from kicking you two off this ziggurat and then you two can climb it again.
Articulated: If he's going to be this way, I'm leaving.
Brash: Go ahead. I'll let the watcher know you left and broke the truce first.
Modulated: We haven't actually started the fire so the meeting isn't in session.
Articulated: Then I can go..
Brash: *tosses in a match*
Articulated: I dislike you.
Brash: Remember when we were on the same side.
Articulated: That was before the incident at the retreat in Roaring Heights.
Brash: Oh yea! I thought you looked familiar. Wait.. you look different.
Articulated: How can he possibly be a founder.
Modulated: His idiocy just makes our victory that much more certain.
Brash: That's what you think.
Modulated: We should probably discuss the terms that need to be stated before we go.
Articulated: Have you even seen the rules, brute?
Brash: No. My family has always been the Immortal kind. Surely you would get that.
Modulated: Here is my entry pad. Please read them over.
Brash: What kind of strange mess is this?!
Articulated: A well-defined challenge.
Brash: So my choices are Mansion Baron, boring, Retail, boring, Restaurant, not fun, Oooh Vampire Hunter. I want to do that, maybe cure some aliens too. That possible yet.
Other Two: No.
Modulated: Neither is an option for you.
Later...Brash: Fine fine, whatever you two want.
Articulated: Oh.. one more thing before we put the fire out and go our separate ways.
Modulated: I don't recall anything else on the agenda.
Articulated: I want the Goths.. They are mine you cannot have them.
Brash: Hey wait a minute. The Goths are mine. We've been family more times than I care to mention.
Modulated: Bella was ours first therefore she should be mine.
*bickering continues..*Articulated: We're getting no where fast with this.
Brash: I can't believe we just resorted to pull names out of a.. whatever that was he just had us use.
Articulated: Last thing - here is a map of the area, choose which section of Newcrest is going to be yours.
Brash: Why not the city?
Articulated: Do you really want to live in a tiny apartment or do you want to build a home?
Brash: Point made.
Modulated: And rocket ships are not easily placed within apartments.
Brash: But wormhole generators are.
Modulated: That is not the point and you know it.
Articulated: Children.. Newcrest. Pick a section for yourself.
Brash: That one is mine. It's fitting.
Modulated: Then I will accept this section.
Articulated: Which leaves the final one for me and I'm perfectly alright with that choice. Good luck gentlemen.
Modulated: May the best faction win.
Brash: Yes, I will win.. but you two handsome devils have fun, alright?
