Artie's New Insanity: Grim Circumstances (Failed)
« on: November 01, 2011, 02:47:48 PM »
Hello again!   Unfortunately, Artie's last try was ruined by an unfortunate circumstance that I'm not even sure how or why it happened. However, the game is practically unplayable so it was time to start again.    I'm restarting with my former founder Artie Grim.  If you are new to his story, I recommend my first attempt but it's not mandatory.  You can find the old attempt here.   Thanks to anyone who reads and everyone's support as the transition begins.

Previously on Artie's Dynasty...




Reuben:  "Uh.  Hi Boss.  You called for me?"
The Boss: "Yes.  I need you to do something for me."
Reuben: -nervous shuffling-  "Anything, right away, Sir."
The Boss: "Go get Artie."
Reuben: "Uh Boss.  How do I do that?  He has a flower and it's not his time."
The Boss: "I don't mean go reap him.  I mean go get him.  I just want him to come for a visit."
Reuben.  "Oh.  Right.  Right away." -relieved sigh-


Artie: "What are you doing in my bedroom!"
Reuben: "Boss wants to see you."
Artie: "The boss knows I'm busy." -mumble "sorda"-
Reuben: "That's not my problem.  I'm just doing what the boss wants."


Artie: "It's going to be your problem when I kick your butt from here to Stoney Falls.  Get out of my house and don't come back until we've got another dead paparazzi."
Reuben: "Artie.. man.  You're making this harder than it has to be." -grabs him by the caveman … shirt?-


Reuben: -thoughts- "So glad it's not me the boss wants."
Artie: -thoughts- "Oh great.  Just great."
Reuben: "Here ya go, sir."
The Boss: "So.  The dynasty non believer returns."


Artie: "Well I obviously believe now so what can I do for you, Boss?"
The Boss: "Reuben - you can go now.  Deidre has your next assignment."
Reuben: "Ok Boss.  Yes sir.  Bye Artie."
Artie: -mumbles- "Coward."


The Boss & Reuben: "What did you say?"
Artie: "I said I can't believe you kept my cowplant." -fake honored sniffle-
The Boss: "Reuben.  Go Now or I'll have to think of a new assignment for you."
Reuben: -poof-
Artie: "Oh wait.  That's not my cowplant.  Mine was blue."


The Boss: "I know you've been having problems lately.  Can't seem to stay connected to your thoughts.  Your watcher has been absent or cursing when she is nearby.  You feel like you're reliving the same moments over and over in time."
Artie: "It's all part of the life.  You learn to deal with these oddities.  And as for that watcher, she's useless in trying to get some of the problems fixed."


The Boss: "Well I think it's time for you to start over.  "
Artie: "Wait.  Repeat that.  I'm not sure I heard you right."


The Boss: "I want you to start over.  Begin Again.  Redo the past."
Artie: "Can you repeat that one more time?  Talk slower like Mr. Hand here.  Sloooooweerrrrrrr."


The Boss: "You know sometimes employing the insane is such a trial.  You're going to start over, Artie.  New wife, new kids, new home."
Artie: "Now you wait just a minute.  We're doing just fine as we are now.  I don't need to start over."


The Boss: -turns the chair around and glares up at him-  "You will start over because I say so and because I have the souls of your wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in my hands as we speak.   You will do this because you have no choice. Do I make myself clear?"
Artie: "Why?"


The Boss: -growl- "Because I said so!  Doesn't that mean anything to you?!"
Artie: "Not really, no."
The Boss: "You're going to start over and now because I feel like it, you're going to start over in a town you've never been to before!"
Artie: "Wait.  Wha?"
The Boss: "Just go before I change my mind and make you into a Halloween ornament."


Artie: "No. No. No. No.  Where in hades in my standing now?!"
Bigglesworth: "Hidden Springs."
Artie: "Who the heck are you!?"

Mr. Bigglesworth: -hiss- "There is no reason to be shouting at me."
Rica: "Artie!"
Artie: "Rica!"


Rica: "I got worried when you were taken by the reaper.  For some reason, I lost control and couldn't find you.  We'd been working so hard to get to Alicia's birthday and now.. you're here!"
Artie: "I was hoping you would know what was going on."
Mr. Bigglesworth: "I know what's going on."
Artie: -hands on hips- "Well would you care to explain?"


Mr. Bigglesworth: "No.  I think it's time for my morning bath."
Artie: " Well you're no use at all." -mocks- "It's time for my morning bath."
Rica: -snickers-
Artie: "Woman! Figure it out! And figure out why my back itches!"
Rica: "Your back itches."
Mr. Bigglesworth: -cat giggle-


Artie: "I've been branded!"
Mr. Bigglesworth: "The Boss wanted to make sure you remembered who you really are. "
Rica: "What about the heart?"
Artie: "Oh, I did that after Aggie died.  I knew about that one.  It's spice brown - her favorite color."
Rica: "Oh.  I never knew that.  Well while I have you in here let's see what clothes they have you in."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Artie: "Hey.  Quit that."
Rica: "Just hold still."
Artie: "No you can't do this to me."
Rica: "I can do whatever I want to you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Rica: "Ta-da!"
Mr Bigglesworth: "Nice slippers."
Rica: "Yeah I thought they were a nice touch."


Mr Bigglesworth: "What is this red dot on the ground?"
Artie: "I don't know what is it?"
Mr. Bigglesworth: "Why is it moving?  I must.. get.. dot…"
Rica: "Alright you two.  I think we need to figure some things out."
-Vincent Price talks about a spider-
Artie: "What in the world is that?"
Rica: "Sorry about that.  I was getting a phone call from the boss.  I was just given the new rules."
Artie: "Oh great."
Rica: "Rule Number 1: You can't marry or move in the Vanderburgs, Emmaline Rohen or the Chos."
Artie: "I don't even know these people."
Mr. Bigglesworth: "You can't marry or move in the Landgraabs, Altos or the chick with level 10 cooking."
Artie: "Oh."
Rica: "Rule Number 2:  Travel is still restricted to one single family vacation that you're not allowed to go on."
Artie: "That's just slightly unfair."
Mr. Bigglesworth: "Haha."
Rica: "The cat can't go either so you're stuck with each other when the family goes."
Artie: "Haha."
Rica: "Rule Number 3: You're not allowed to kill the cat.   Mr. Bigglesworth is here as a family pet and a watch dog."
Mr Big: -hiss-
Rica: "Sorry.. watch cat.  He has a direct line to the boss and he gets to have a little bit of say in matters of what goes on.  However, I'm still the one in charge."
Artie: "Day just keeps getting better."  -bangs head on mailbox.- "This is all a dream.  This is all a dream."


Mr Bigglesworth: -uses claws on ankle-
Artie: "OW!"
Rica: "Children!"
Mr Bigglesworth: "This is not a dream.  This is our new home and it's a big empty field.  So do something about that will you?  And get me something from the pet store."
Artie: "I'm going to get you fleas if you do that to me ever again."
Rica: "Alright, I think it's time we separate you two.  Artie - you know the drill.  Let's get started.  What's your skill this time?"
Artie: "Athletic."
Rica: "Hurry before the game starts later."
Artie: "Ok.. I'm going I'm going.."


Artie: "What do you mean I have to start at the bottom?  Do you know who you're talking to?!"
-thrown out of building- "Fine!  You'll regret this one day."
Rica: "New Job… Check."


Rica: "Athletic Skill… Check."
Artie: "You'd think I would have been allowed to keep at least one from before."
Rica: "Against the rules."
Artie: "Ok as soon as I'm done here, I'll go check out that pet store."


Rica: "This isn't the pet store."
Artie: "I know.  I'm just looking."
Rica: "Why?"
Artie: "Because it's pretty."
Rica: "Ok.."
Artie: "Why can't I ever start in a house like this?"
Rica: "Not in the cards, my friend.  Maybe you can meet the person who does live here and visit some time."
Artie: "Not the same."
Rica: "I know.. Let's go."
