Chapter Twenty Three - A Veritable Mish Mash of Events

These pics were taken prior to installation of Island Paradise. And since I'd had no end of issues with the game shortly afterwards, I was a bit leery of actually playing Austin. But these issues finally managed to resolve themselves and I will be going back to Austin and my Wishacy a little later on.

But for now, here are a series of events that happened in game. Some good, some bad. 

BLECH!
What's up?
That Angel Food Cake is OFF!
Thought you put it away in the fridge.
I did, but it still went bad.
Oh.

(didn't know this.... do now)

And 1 ... and 2 ... and 3 .... and 4......

Building up your athletic skills there?
Yep, didn't realise just how much work is needed to get to the next promotion.
Nope, me neither. But perhaps.... maybe.... another trip to the gym?
Hmm, now there's a thought.

Sooo, off he goes to the gym, where he meets a celebrity and instantly wishes to impress her.
O-kay, but you'd better turn up your charm offensive to the max, these folks are VERY hard to please.

First of all - unsurprisingly - she rejected him, looked at him as if he was a bag of wet cement ..... basically. But he plodded on regardless.

I'm in Law Enforcement.
Yeah, way to go lad.....
... got my own squad car!

Please, don't suggest she goes for a ride in it!!

Surprisingly, this actually DID impress her! They got chatting about this and that. And then he went in for the kill.

Hey, if it's ok, can I question you about something.
Um, well....
I'm not a reporter, all this will be dealt with in the strictest of confidentiality.
Erm.
Please?????
Uh, okay, if you're sure.

YAY!
He grilled her until he got what he wanted. And oh boy, was her life REALLY juicy!! Wanna spill Austin? Please?
No.
Awww.
I did promise that this was strictly confidential.
Awww.

A couple of days later, he spotted another Sim and decided to give her a LOUD introduction.
Unfortunately that didn't impress her one bit and she complained of getting ringing in her ears!!!

And last but not least, thought I'd leave you all with these pics.
Spring has sprung and Love Day is upon us.

Austin FINALLY wanted to flirt/date/kiss Shannon. So I sent the two of them back to Dragon Tavern. The place is empty but for those two.

They got a little too close - literally. Before heading outside to watch the stars.

This could be the start of a beautiful relationship!!!

Chapter Six - You're Just as Famous as Me!!

It was a Full Moon. That meant only one thing. ZOMBIES!!!
But that wasn't going to phase Austin, as he tried to rally forth a protest, failing miserably.
He needed a venue, but his energy and hunger bars were slowly slipping into deep orange.

One of his wishes was to use the Megaphone. So I assumed that this was for ALL actions in the pie chart.
But nope.

So effectively, that's one failed wish so far.
Great.

Anyways, feeling really hungry, he decided to join a few Sims having a picnic, and mooch some food off them.

Including, believe it or not ..... a zombie!! I guess he preferred hot dogs to brains!!!!

Austin was soon distracted, however, by what I assume was a celebrity Sim.
Hopping up excitedly from the picnic table, he approached said celeb and asked for his autograph.

The gent kindly agreed as Austin bounced with glee.

"You're almost as famous as me!" he exclaimed excitedly.

The man just nodded quietly as he scribbled his name on a piece of paper.

"That's nice," he said kindly, "here you go sonny. Now hurry home before the zombies get you."

Austin ignored the guy's patronizing comment and glanced straight at the camera.

Yeah, I know.

Wish I'd made a note of that Sim .... for posterity. But meh.
