Inspired by the Wishacy Challenge: Here are the rules http://buckeygirl80.blogspot.co.uk/p/intro-and-rules.html
And this really great story http://scentoflotus.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/chapter-1-pajama-party.html
I decided upon taking up this challenge for myself.
The first attempt was a failure since I'm pretty sure that I cheated/broke the rules a few times
But anyways, I took a Sim that I'd created a looooooooooooooong time ago and tweaked him slightly.
Meet Austin Powers - revamped.
Yes, he's the same cheeky chappy that we are all familiar with in the movies, but for this challenge I had to tweak his traits a little and came up with these.
Charismatic - and why not?
Inappropriate - because honestly, I didn't want to change too much here
Brave - well, he does tend to charge into situations feet first
Flirty - because that's his nature
Family Oriented - this is new, I wanted to give him a chance to procreate and continue the Powers family line for a few generations.
His likes are:
Food - Grilled salmon
Music - Rock
Colour - Red
His LTW?
International Super Spy
Well, we couldn't possibly deny him his dream now, could we?
Now here's the twist.
For some reason or another, he has found himself stranded in the middle of Dragon Valley a veritable time warp, quite different from his previous time travelling experiences. His mission is to find out what put him there in the first place (me, but I'm not telling him) and put down some roots just in case he can't get back home. He only has 20,000 Simoleans to spend on a house - furnished or unfurnished.
After a long search, he found one, and purchased it - unfurnished (what WAS I thinking?). Giving him a tidy sum of money to play around with.
There's only one problem. It's looking quite sparse in there. Bare floorboards, just a bathroom and a kitchen.
He hasn't wished for any furniture yet. I cannot wait when the sun goes down and he needs to sleep.
Fufilling his wishes are fairly easy at the moment. He wants to join the local police force.
So, whilst I was looking for the police station.....
.... um, Austin? What ARE you doing?
Hey look, reception is great around here! They're streaming one of my movies! Yeah baby. YEAH!!
You're on a mission, remember?
Yeah yeah, in a minute, they're coming up to the best part ...
This is where I butt in to fulfil one of his locked wishes, cancelling out his autonomous action.
Hey!
Listen sonny, you wanted to join Law Enforcement didn't you?
Yeah?
Then let's go.
Hey, this is weird. Considering that this town is supposedly caught in a medieval time vortex, a big yellow taxi pulls up to escort Austin downtown.
The creators didn't really think this one through now, did they?
They arrived at this imposing building, where Austin stood out like a sore thumb!
This.... is the police station?
Looks like it.
Whoa, stuff is weird around here.
You're not kidding there Austin. Well, you'd better go in and charm yourself into a job in there.
Ohhhh, I like your plan. Charm I can do.... in buckets!!!
*sigh* he is soooo easily distracted. Seriously.
However, after a couple of hours of careful negotiation (he walked straight up to the desk, used his typical charm offensive and asked for a job), Austin got into Law Enforcement at the bottom rung of the corporate ladder - a Snitch.
And after fulfilling that wish, he immediately wanted to send one of his work colleagues a text!!!
What could I do but grant his wish?
Do you think I should send a naughty romantic one, friendly one, maybe stream one of my video links????
Um, I think a naughty one is out of the question Austin. After all, you've only just walked into that job, you don't want to be fired on the first day now, do you?
True. So true.
So a friendly text then?
Yeah.
Dayum, these buttons are so small!
Perhaps you should brush up on your Social Networking Skills?
Hey, good idea baby!
Less of the 'baby' Austin.
You're a spoilsport.
*rolls eyes*
Ha! Great opening! Austin Powwers in Dragon Valley. =D
ReplyDeleteYou can actually buy anything you want without waiting for a wish.
I'm so glad you decided to give the wishacy another go, and to blog it.
There's a thread in the Stories and Legacies section of the official forums for Wishacies, if you want to post your link there.

Thanks for reading. I was stuck at first going down the 'this is what blah blah did, and this is what he did next.....' etc. But then realised .... this is Austin Powers. He's going to do things his way anyways! And so I went for that angle.
ReplyDeleteI'll check that out and maybe post the link there, when it is more established.
It's a big BIG thank you to your story that inspired me anyways. Oh and to Angelzzdaydreams0 for bringing it to my attention :)
