"Aeronwy! It's hedgekat. Hey, did you guys watch that new show last week?"
"Hey hedgekat! Yeah, I saw it in the guide, and called Lisa. It was hilarious!"
hedgekat: "You guys want to get together and watch it tonight? My place, or yours, or whatever."
Aeronwy: "That's a great idea. Tell you what, come over here. I'll call Lisa and if she wants to come over, we can watch it here, or we can go to her place. Sound good?"
hedgekat: "Sounds great. Be over in ten."
**CLICK**
"C'mon Lisa, pick up. I know you're there." *foot tapping*
*typing* 'No, I'm not going to play that dumb game with you. For one, why anyone would want to play a game called WOW is beyond me. I get enough wow's in my life. Oh, phone ringing. BRB, AFK'
"Oh, Hi Aeronwy. No, I was just chatting with some friends. I swear they're far too hooked on that silly mud game online.... oh, that's right, the show's on tonight!"
Aeronwy: "Yeah, tonight. Hedgekat's on her way over here. You wanna come over?"
Lisa: "I have grilled cheese on the stove. How about you guys come over here. We can eat, and watch it together."
Aeronwy: "Sounds good. She'll be here any minute, and we'll head over. See you in a few."
Aeronwy: "Wow, where'd you get the shirt, Lisa? That's cool. I want one."
Lisa: "Oh, got it at the mall. The show seems to be a huge hit, and the shirts are as popular as Llama Mama shirts are."
hedgekat: "They never make cool shirts for my age group."
Aeronwy: "Lisa? Think you cooked the sandwiches a little long."
Lisa: "Yeah, well, what do you expect, I'm watching this show instead of the Yummy Channel."
Hedgekat: "They're fine Lisa, don't worry about it. So, is it time for the show yet?"
****Cue Theme Music****
**Announcer Voice** Welcome back to another episode of Living in Oblivion. Let's see how our contestants have been doing, since last we peeked in on them.
Announcer: Since last week, we've had Sims falling asleep in their food....
Sims laughing at other sims for falling asleep in their food....
Sims eating gross food...
Sims booing other Sims...
Sims being inappropriately shocked at other sims...
Sims going a little bit crazy....but not a little bit rock 'n roll...
Sims boogying down, and playing that funky music white boy...
Sims starting fires.. and panicking with rather high pitched screams...
Sims kicking other Sims for starting said fires....Or maybe it was for the girly screams... we're not sure...
Sims being a little more appropriately shocked...and others not really giving a good gosh darn...
Sims crying over spilt .. something. While other Sims looked at each other helplessly.
MORE Sims starting fires, but at least this Sim had the decency to try to put the fire OUT...
Sims lecturing other Sims for said firestarting. At least there was no kicking this time.
And of course, Sims wiggling much to the delight and amusement of other Sims.
JeannieSusan: "OMG Isn't that... it is! The Evil Overlord!!!"
Cap'n A: "Where? Oh, you're just seeing things. I'm going to go make some toaster pastries.
JeannieSusan: "Overlord? Oh omniscient one? Where'd you go? I know you were here. I just saw you!!!" ..must've been your imagination, JeannieSusan. Poor dear.
Jenn: "Fakes. No way was she ever in Burke's arms like that. I wonder who she got to stand in for him. No WAY Burke would ever go for that fake redhead. Hmph."
SDOTTO: "I know they'll pick me. I better get my beauty sleep. hopefully nobody will try shoving me out of bed. Why can't we have more beds!?"
Carl P: "Gosh darn women can't do nothing, making me do it, cause I'm the only guy. Well, the mechanical points will certainly come in handy, when it's ME getting the job. I'm the only male here, they can't make me stay here all the bloody time, can they? Oh lord above, please hear my plea."
Carl P: "*bleep* mother *bleep* stupid *bleep* ARGH!!!!"
CeeCee Me: "Well, if he's going to just take forever with that repair job, I'll just clean up right here. Hmph."
JeannieSusan: "Thanks for fixing the tub Carl. How about the dishwasher? Or the radio?" . o O ( Maybe if he electrocutes himself, he can't play the 'pity the only dude' card and gain sympathy... )
WOOTO Jenn: "Okay, two out of three. You win, I'll vote for you." . o O ( Yeah right )
CeeCee . o O ( This decision is just tearing everyone apart already. )
Cap'n A . o O ( Screw this. I'm looking in the classifieds now. Nobody will notice if I make a call and arrange an interview. What they don't know won't hurt them. Hmmmm. This job starts niiiice and early. Nobody will miss me. They'll be too busy fighting over beds, or shooing each other out of the bathroom. )
JeannieSusan: "Um.. What are you doing with the paper there, Ange?"
Cap'n A: "Was just looking at the funnies. I'm done with it if you want it." . o O ( Whew that was close! )
Cap'n A: "Ah, better get me some Z's, so I can get up early and give one of them the bed. The more of 'em asleep when my carpool gets here in the morning, the better chance I have of not being seen."
Sariana: "Okay, I think we need to sit down and start discussing this. Jeannie? Wake up sweetheart. You're sleeping in your spaghetti. That can't be good for your respiratory system. Honestly."
JeannieSusan: "Huh? Wha?"
SDOTTO: "Okay, I'll go grab everyone else."
Sariana: "Okay. We have two choices to make. Frankly, I could give a banana less if you choose me. However, I think we need to recognize one person who has tried to keep us sane around here."
...everyone looks around...
Sariana: "CeeCee. She's never in the way, doesn't start fires or fights. I mean, c'mon. Let's get one choice done tonight, okay?"
Everyone: **mumbled agreements**
CeeCee: "Really? You really want me to take one of the jobs?? Oh thank you!"
**assorted disgruntled sounds**
Sariana: "Where's Captain going?"
Cap'n A: "Aha, nobody saw me!"
Sariana: (peering out the window) "Grrr, she cheated! Oh, that sneaky *mumble mumble*"
*booming voice*
"Attention Officers, Minionettes and Worshipers. Gather round the table. That's right, the extra chairs and table are back. Hurry up. C'mon now, don't keep me waiting."
Overlord: "Carl, can you please put the cereal bowl down?" *foot tapping*
Carl P: "Sorry O' Evil One."
Overlord: "Alright then. I know that you have come to a decision. One decision. Tell me, how goes the discussion on your second choice for a job seeker?"
JeannieSusan: "Well, we picked one. CeeCee."
CeeCee: "Yes. I hoped we could come to a decision today for the second person."
Overlord: "Carl, PUT the spoon down!"
Carl P: *winces*
Overlord: "Okay, now.. we seem to be missing one contestant. Wherever could she be? Hmmm?"
Jenn: "Um... Most everyone is here.."
SDOTTO: "Oooh, where's Angelia? Maybe she fell asleep in the tub."
Sariana: ..........
SuziHollyCat: "Ohhhhh, Angelia's not here. I see."
Overlord: "That's -right- and when she returns, I will be speaking with her personally. Now. What you all do not know, is that your beloved Captain, has taken it upon herself, to choose her very own destiny. She took a job, without anyone knowing. Now... to blame, is that you all, for not paying more attention? Or her? I personally think you are all to blame."
"Now that the cat is out of the bag, she will be given a couple of choices. But for now, we are going to move on, to determine eliminations. What I would like to do, is to read to you all, a secret, from each of you. Perhaps you do not know this about each other. But I do. These secrets are going to be told to the entire viewing audience. And your viewers are going to determine which secret is so bad, that the Sim who it belongs to, should leave the show, and return to their Sim Reality, such as it were."
"Take a look around, my friends. Each of you has a dirty little secret to tell. Think about your housemates. Think about what kind of person, could be the sort to have done, or not to have done, the things I am about to reveal to you all."
1. This Sim used to have four arms and three eyes. But surgery took care of that.
2. This Sim, after being jilted by Pao Mellon, who dumped her for Dagmar Bertino, found out where he lived, found his extra key and started redecorating his house, to suit her tastes. That's right. There is a STALKER among you.
3. This Sim admits to being the one responsible for messing up MY computer awhile back, in an attempt to keep the Heiress' wedding from happening! *growl* But none can stop the all powerful Overlord. Moving on!
4. In High School, THIS Sim was caught with a romance partner, doing indecent things with a bunch of bananas together, behind the track bleachers. This Sim and Significant Other, were reprimanded, and ridiculed in front of their entire Senior class.
5. This Sim, formerly a man, has three children by three different men presently. Unfortunately, they were all taken by the social worker, because this Sim was in prison until about a month prior to being taken into Oblivion, for this show.
6. This Sim confesses to having a long-standing desire, to WooHoo the Evil Overlord. *muahahaha*
7. This Sim, has secretly engineered a hybrid animal, cross breeding a camel with a llama. The animal is secretly known as the Llamel. The Llamel will defend its owner against rogue sentrybots and Servo's run amok.
8. And finally, THIS Sim clammed up completely when I asked for a secret. Refused to share a single thing. Which means I'm going to have to do some serious digging into this Sim's pixels. Yep.
..everyone looks around at each other, trying to figure out which secret belongs to who..
Overlord: "That's all for now. You may all go on about your business. When the Captain returns, I shall be here, waiting for her. Stay tuned, if you're curious of her fate."
...screen fades...
Cap'n A: "You can't stay Laurie, I have to get inside and.. um.. get some stuff done. I'll see you tomorrow at work."
Laurie: "Oh.. okay then. Take care, Angelia."
Cap'n A: "Gotta get changed before they see me in fatigues. Can't get caught in uniform."
Sariana: "ANGELIA!! How dare you cheat us out of the decision. How dare you go off on your own and..."
Cap'n A: (interrupting) "You just wait a minute, miss red. I got the job, you can't make me quit, therefore it's mine. Now back the heck off, before *I* deliver one of GeneViva's special kicks."
Sariana: *speechless for a minute* "Well, before you do that, you should go in and talk to the Overlord. Because she missed you at today's meeting."
Captain: "Uh.. she showed up? TODAY? Damn."
Meanwhile, CeeCee Me works on finding herself a job. And find one she does, in Culinary. It's only as a dishwasher, but the hours are decent, and it brings a little money into the house.
CeeCee: "Whee, I got a job, I got a job! Yippeeee!!!"
Overlord: "Well, hello there miss Captain."
Cap'n A: "Hello O Omniscient One."
Overlord: "Quit the sucking up. Much as I love it, we have some work to do. First, you forget how all knowing and how powerful I am. I knew, before your housemates knew, that you cheated. Yes, I saw it. That's very clever thinking on your part, Captain. However, it was against the rules set by me. No broken rule of the Overlord, shall go unpunished."
Cap'n A: *twitch* *spasm*
Overlord: "Because I admire such clever cunning and trickery, I'm going to make this easy on you. First, congratulations on your job. Second, you have a choice. You may keep your job. But there is a price you must pay. If you choose to pay this price, the job remains yours. If you choose to NOT pay this price, you will remain as you are, only you MUST choose another Sim in the household, to give your job to."
Cap'n A: "Oh, that should be easy.. but.. wait. Price.. what kind of price?"
Overlord: "The price is simple, my dear Captain. If you keep your job, you must also place your head in that contraption right over there. The results? Undetermined. It's a risk you must take."
Cap'n A: "....."
Cap'n A: "Um.. isn't that a..."
Overlord: "Yes. That is the ReNuYuSenso Orb, and should you choose to do this, you have some rules. First, you will be given NO help in fulfilling any wants, to help you find gold or platinum mood. (This means no controller help, she will be unplayed for the duration of her decision making process) You will have until my next visit to decide. You will not know when I intend on showing up. Should you choose to pay the price, you will live the rest of your life, with the end result. I suggest you consider very very carefully Angelia."
Cap'n A: "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..."
***Screen Fades***
Sound of Overlord's cackling heard as the screen fades.
**Announcer Voice** Viewing Audience, please help in making the decisions for this week. Should the Captain choose to pay the price? Or should she choose another Sim to take the job space she holds? Also, when visiting the polls, please choose which secret you feel is the most scandalous of the bunch. Thank you for your participation.
Polling will close at 5pm Eastern Daylight Time, on Tuesday, May 9, 2006. Thank you for your participation.
Announcer Voice: "Tune in next time, to see how the house of Twitchers handles the dilemma. And see just who makes it through to the next week. Thanks for watching LIVING IN OBLIVION."
Until next time... keep your bananas fresh, and your obsession pure.
