Default A moment later...

Goopy, still feeling friendly and in need of a hug, soon turned his attention to someone else:



Feeling a little out of character today, Duchess? Can't see that ever happening on the show, but who knows? The series finale may be full of surprises. In any case Duchess and Goopy got along great and will no doubt end up as good friends before long. Alas, the same cannot be said for Mr. Herriman and Marisa Bendett. As the day wore on they sniped at each other, they poked, shoved, and slapped, and finally in erupted into a brawl:



You can't see Duchess in the pic but she's nearby, and she was clearly enjoying the spectacle. Goopy missed it; he was in the bathroom at the time. The fight ended soon enough:



Chalk up a victory for the Raging Rabbit, or the Battlin' Bunny, or whatever you want to call him. Marisa was mad as hell:



And promptly left in a huff. She missed dinner, which was too bad, as she would've enjoyed Mr. Herriman's reaction to Goopy's atrocious table manners and deteriorating hygiene:



Duchess was amused. Good day for her, not so much for Mr. Herriman. Good day for Goopy, too, and he and Duchess whipped out the pillows for a little more fun:



And finally the day ended. Goopy and Mr. Herriman departed, the latter hoping to never lay eyes on any of them ever again, and Duchess got blitzed on espresso:



Fun afternoon for the Simmaster, too. Best of all, with Mr. Herriman out of her way all day, Frankie finished cleaning the House without any further delay, and her vacation is just a few days away. I still don't know where she's going but I'll figure that out soon enough. Oh, as for Marisa, the next day she got engaged to Malcolm Landgraab so Foster's Valley will soon see it's first wedding. There's going to be a party; I believe the main course will be braised rabbit. Her idea, not mine.

Coming up soon: the season finale. Stay tuned.

Duchess hugging someone? And then having a pillow fight with them? Wow, I'd love to see that on the show. I just can't picture it. And Herriman in a fight? Or as he might say, a "gentleman's challenge". But with a lady! That was great!

I hope Frankie's vacation starts soon, and she has a spectacular one!

Sweet! I like seeing Duchess's more sensitive side (and we all know that she has one. Yeah, sure we do).

A little off topic, but I was recently watching the E3 coverage on G4tv. They showed the very first commercial for Sims 3, due out either around the holidays, or early next year. As for what I saw. Let's just say that when this game comes out, Fosters Valley will NEVER be the same, again.

Foster's Valley will be exactly the same, as I am not buying a game that comes with invasive, draconian malware that masquerades as copy protection. EA can take Sims 3 and go to hell.

I would love to know who created her, and more importantly, why?? Whoever did it has got some 'splainin' to do.

I think Duchess regards Goopy as a pet more than anything else. At some point I might get her one of those vicious, spoiled little lapdogs that we occasionally see the "high society" people carrying on TV. As for Mr. Herriman, that's not the first fight he's been in and I doubt it'll be the last. Marisa's a lady, true, but Sims are quite egalitarian about such things.

Frankie's vacation will be covered in Season Three. I'm looking forward to it almost as much as she is!

Well, Duchess is one of my favourite characters, so I'm thankful to whoever it was that she's there. I'd also like to know more about her backstory, just because it's something that interests me.

I asked Craig about that at the Con last Sunday afternoon. Details are here in Duchess's thread.

As it turns out, it's going to be a vacation she will never forget.

Still working on the second season finale. In the meantime, xxxClaire recently visited the Foster's Valley Micro Mall:



She spotted Wilt the moment she entered the building - he's kind of hard to miss - and wanted to talk to him but Marta got to him first and promptly monopolized his time. This annoyed xxxClaire no end; she ought to be talking to Wilt, not the sister of the Valley Pest. After all, she is a Forum Member. I guess there's some logic in there somewhere. Anyway, she decided that Marta needed to be "dealt with", so she asked Robert McBride to deal with her:



Here in the Northwest part of the Valley if you want something done but don't want to do it yourself, you find one of the McBride boys and offer him a buck. Odds are he'll do it, unless he thinks it'll frack off the Bandrowsky's. That isn't healthy. No danger of that here but Robert wants more than a couple of bucks for his services today. "Well, what more do you want?" asked xxxClaire.
"I'm bored," Robert replied. "Do something that'll make me not be bored anymore."
"Like what?"
"I dunno. Whatever."
xxxClaire thought it over for a moment and decided to entertain him by doing a dramatic retelling of some of the events in the Forum's Spam threads:



Thusly, Robert was introduced to such legendary subjects as Imaginary Party 2, The Super Cartoon Crossover, and the typo-titled Express You're Insanity Today!. No longer bored but completely confused, Robert wandered off to deal with Marta. xxxClaire found her first, and Wilt, too, in the salon:



Marta was busy telling Richard Goodwin all about her part in the upcoming school play so xxxClaire had Wilt all to herself. The two of them wandered off to get some lunch when Robert finally showed up and, true to his word, he "dealt" with Marta in the traditional Sim manner:



Yep, it's noogie time again. That's gotta hurt. A minute later it was over and Marta just stood there in shock:



"Oww! Sheesh, McBride, whadya do that for?!?!" Robert explained that he was merely expressing his insanity and would the enchanting miss Marta like to go with him to an imaginary party? She looked at him like he'd lost his mind.

The moral of the story... er, there isn't one, although "Don't get between xxxClaire and Wilt" might work.

For those interested, the blonde guy in the brown suit in pics 5 and 6 is Marta's father. Family loyalty isn't one of the Sims strong points.

Hah! I definately found that amusing!

When I get around to making the Spammer Sims, I'm definately going to be putting a "Hotel Hotel", and an "Imaginary Dance Club".

Haha, I especially like that last shot where Marta is shocked, and Robert appears to be laughing.

Why were they all in the salon? Did they follow Marta in there when she wanted some shampoo or something? It just seems to be an odd place for four guys, including Wilt, to just be "hanging out".

The salon has always been used as something of a hangout. Beats me why. I considered adding a coffee bar in an unused shop but there wouldn't be much point at present; if the game crashed, and it still does that more often than not, any socializing that might have gone on would be erased. I could spend an entire day there getting two strangers to know and really like each other and it would all be for nothing.

I'm running the game as I type this. I can't play the NF house right now because the game has inexplicably relinked you and xxxClaire as mother and daughter. SimPE will fix that when I exit the game. In the meantime, I am now entering the Wildebrat residence; Blake Superior is always fun to play.
