the artist at heart : chapter 1
DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
Welcome to the Artist at Heart alphebetacy! This is my second attempt at a legacy, since my first was lost when I had to reinstall the sims.
Anyway, let’s meet our founder…. To be. He’s not founder yet.His name is Alan Logans. He’s a pleasure sim with a lifetime want of reaching the top of the culinary career. His turn ons are blondies and brunettes, and he’s turned off by full face makeup.His personality is 8:0:7:3:7
“So, I’ll be living here?”
Yeah. It’s small, and there’s not many rooms so not a lot of dormies for ya.
“I don’t mind. I have zero in outgoing, remember? I’m gonna get my major set up…”
Not locking it?
“No, I trust others won’t intrude. Now, can I pick my major and play the arcade?”
No. You pick your major then socialize with your new roommates.
“……”
Got one?
“Art. It’s an art themed legacy, isn’t it? Despite the fact that the generations to come will actually be named after anime characters.”
Good point. Now go meet people.“But….”Go.
“U-Uh…. No, I’ve never kissed anyone before. Or dated. And I’m pretty sure that means I have yet to woohoo. These are rather personal questions.”
“Man. Wit yer looks you could be a playa maaaaaaan.”
(His personality is set to match my cousins, maaan)
“Whoa, you’re from Port White Water? The place that has the White Water mansion? You live there?”
“Well, not the mansion, but I’ve lived in Port White Water all my life. I kinda miss it already.”
Meet Stalker Ben.
“Hello, nice to meet you. You seem kind of familiar….And why are you staring at me like that?”
“…….”
Jeez. Already?
“I don’t want to talk to anyone. I just wanna paint. And juggle, for some odd reason.”
Well, you are a pleasure sim. Ya know, these slides have been kinda short in words. I’ll try to pick it up.
“You know, you remind me of someone….. Uhm… Chris Ng! Ever met him? You look exactly like him!”
“No, I haven’t. “
“Shame. You could be twins, Seriously, if you ever meet him, make sure you don’t confuse him for a mirror.”
This is Chris Ng. Anyone else see the ‘twinness’ here?Yeah, me niether. Anyway, go meet him.
“Haven’t I met enough people? I just want to paint….”
“You’re…. Chris Ng? That girl said I looked exactly like you.”
“Whoa, it’s true! We’re like….twins. Awesome. Can I call you bro? I bet people would believe us.”
“No. You may not.
Yeah, I don’t even have a witty caption for this. Use your imagination.
“Hmm. He really did look like Chris. He even smells like him. I wonder if he’ll need those socks back…”
Yeah…. Okay then…
Smart boy.
“By the way, you’ve been hovering over me this whole time. I swear I packed an extra pair of socks…. But I can’t find them. Any idea where they are?”
……
It took about 30 sim minutes for this to become the hotspot of the dorms.
“A llama? How am I supposed to study? This is too noisy and crowded….”
Oh stop complaining and just paint already…
“Thank you.”
Fanservice~
“Do you mind!? Please get out! Can’t you drop that camera for just a few minutes!?”
Not at all.
“Wait, why are you here? It’s 4:30am, shouldn’t you be sleeping?”
This is Brandon, the dorm cook person. “It’s my job. It’s, supposed to be here this early. Why are you up?”
“I’m a night person. But anyway, you look tired. I could cover for you. I have a bit of cooking experience.
And so, Alan got stuck with kitchen duty. By the way, has this happened to anyone else before? Alan turns into a redhead in this uniform. And before I had someone with black hair turn into a blond. Darn glitches.
Cooking experience my bubkes….
“Oh be quiet…. You distracted me.”
Oh sure, they always blame the narrator!
Stalker Ben Appearance #2
“Why are you sitting across from me….?”
“…..”
Oh be nice. He has to stomach that breakfast of yours after all. And maybe he wouldn’t follow you if you didn’t walk around in shirtless PJs.
So this is what the workers do when students cover for them. Looks fun. I think.
“I haven’t gotten to play that yet….”
Aw, maybe one day. But we’ve got a lot to focus on. First we-“Actually, I kind of want to go to the water park….”
But that’s all the way back in your old neighborhood! Just don’t be late for class.
“I won’t. I love this place. I always came here as a kid. I would play here until it got dark and my parents would call the police to come find me.”
Aw, precious childhood memories~
Pathetic.The swing is taken up by adults and elders. What about the kids?
Hey look! It’s the Garden Club member from hell! Armando Cox! I dislike him.
“Mm, how come?”
Just cause. Nice boot.
“Hush…..”
………………….
“Well, it’s fun!”
Bah…..
“Didn’t you say you were going to add more text per slide?”
Okay, attempts at more text….
After the park of boring nothingness, I dragged Alan to the campus coffee shop. Which was a good idea, since he met his first secret society member. I forgot her name. I think it was Asia. Either way, I want Alan in the society, so he’ll hafta turn up the charm.
And for someone with zero points in outgoing, he has a lot of charm. Maybe this is where the nice points kick in. She’s still being a bit of a bother.
Please tell me that’s not the boot.
“U-Uh…. Well….”
“She liked it….”
…….No comments.
Ooh, another member! And she’s pretty. I managed to catch her name, Katy Patch, but she left the lot before Alan could even talk to her. Boo.
Luckily, the coffee shop seems to be the official secret society hangout. This here is Mackenzie. I think. I do not remember how to spell it.
Secret society hangout. Seriously.
Stalker Appearance #3.
“Seriously, dude, stop following me. I’m not…. Homosexual, or anything like that…”
“………….”
“Hey, I remember you. From the coffee shop.”
“Yeah, glad you remember me from 5 minutes ago. Anyway, I came to give you this letter. Call this number in a few minutes. And make sure to look pretty.”
“Uhm. Okay. Creator, how does a guy look pretty?”
“H-Hello? I was given this number to call…. And uh….. Huh? You’re coming over? Okay then…”
Who’s coming?
“No idea.”
Well….. Get pretty….
Wow. Pretty.Hey, it’s Katy!
“Nice tux. Going out?” Katy laughed, raising an eyebrow and Alan’s attire.
“Uh…. I was told to look pretty. I don’t really like formal wear at all.”
Stalker Appearance #4
“Evil woman must be stopped.”
“My god, he talks.”“Something wrong? Should we go outside? I need to talk to you anyway.”
“Alright. Wait here. I need to go back inside.”“Okay.”
….And you’re waiting because….?
“She told me too?”
I thought I was in charge….
“Oh my god! Chicken lady attack! Chicken lady attack!”
“Owch! Hey, what did I do to you!? Who are you anyway!?”
“Okay! I’m sorry I yelled! Please let me go, I didn’t do anything! Oh man….. KATY!! ….BEN!? Creator….?
Yeah, don’t look at me.
“How can I? You’re just a voice…..”
“I’m kinda new to getting arrested, but isn’t this done with a police car….”
Ugh for one line slides.
“Hehe…..”
“Oh…. A secret society? Katy, you were in on this? I was scared, someone could have told me!”
“Duh. Secret Society. Not very bright are you?”
“Doug, stop insulting the new guy.”
“Sorry if I scared you. It’s just a stupid tradition.”
“Ah well….. no, it’s okay. Tradition is tradition.”
“He changed his mind as soon as she hugged him…”Yeah, I know. Nice orange pigtails…
The first thing he did was go catch fireflies. Indoors. Whatever floats his boat…. I guess.
Despite the fact that it’s not an easel, Alan seems to enjoy the new camera. I guess capturing still life is just as artistic as painti- is that a picture of Katy?
“N-No!”
Enjoying yourself?
“The dorm only had one computer, and it was always taken. And I need to finish this term paper before the exam tomorrow. I would’ve finished it before, but I was busy getting arrested.”
Finally, due to the lack of beds in the society, I decided it was time for Alan to go back to the dorms. I’m still trying to figure out why Katy and Al are so close. They have had very little interaction, and they don’t even have any bolts.
“Well, I’ve got to head back. Maybe…. We’ll see each soon?”
“….Alan, wait!”
“Goodbye, Al. You better call me soon.”
“….Guh….mmrruuugghhhh”
I love how shy he is. I think he said he promises, Kat.
“Great.”I’m sorry, did she just hear me?
“M’lady, I swear that I will ne’er forget this night. For it has been one of the happiest of my life.”
Well…. Okay then. Ne’er?
It took all of five seconds for Alan to reunite with the easel. Seriously, he’s in love with that thing. I may hafta hijack it one day.
Why is the tip of his hair pink? Not that it’s a bad look….
“Ta-da!”
Great! What is it?“It’s Katy!”
…..Don’t ever show that to her. And you better work on those creativity points. If you don’t max creativity by the end of college, you can’t be the legacy founder.
Gussying up?
“Yeah, Katy’s coming over. By the by, I’ve been meaning to ask you. Max creativity is the thing in our legacy, as well as holidays. Valentines day in the middle of spring, a pool/BBQ party in the middle of summer, halloween on the last day of fall, and christmas on the last day of winter. Why haven’t we done any of that yet?”
I don’t have the holiday CC stuff yet.
“Aw, the secret society outfit again? Do you ever take it off~?Ya know, one day, I’m going to get you out of those clothes.”
…….
“N-No wait. That sounded bad! I didn’t mean it like that!”
Because I’m stupid, I didn’t get many pictures of their dream date at the coffee shop. This is the only one I got. For a couple with no bolts, they seem to get it on easily….
But anyway, the final freshman exam starts in a few hours, and you never actually completed that term paper.
Though, I’m not quite sure if he’ll be able to focus now. Luckily, he finished and it promised an A+ for his freshman year. You should rest now…
G’night Al.
“Good night……..zZzZzZz…..”
“So, would you kindly explain to the readers how I got here? On this empty lot, which will soon be a greek house.”
Why, certainly. You see…..
The both of us got tired of the old ‘study room’ and all the books laying around. It also got crowded, and Alan rarely got the computer.
(Stalker Appearance #5)
The kitchen was no better, since everyone made their own food despite having the kitchen worker. And the cow set off the sprinkler at least once a day.
‘Nuff said.
And eventually roaches made their way to these crappy dorms. Even with Alan and a main cleaning, this place was the pits.
“And maybe we should explain my new lifetime want?”
Ah yes. Well, he constantly had thought bubbles of marriage and kids. And since he’s a legacy sim, I decided to do the junior roll, and gave him family. His new lifetime want is to have 6 grandchildren. Good luck with that.
“Even Katy too kthe news pretty well. I was sort of worried about this.”
“Well, goodbye Ben. This is the last time we’ll see each other. I believe the stalker appearance count is up to six now?”
Yep. Now, can I show the hot air balloon? PLEEEASE!?
“F-Fine… fine.”
“I still can’t believe you’re making me do this In the rain….”
Oh shush, and get in. This is a hot air balloon that I downloaded from…. someplace. I can’t wait to try it out!
“Hey! I’m actually rising!”
Yay for custom animation CC!Oh, I also need to get you that ferris wheel~
“Still going higher. How high does it go?”
No idea.
“Kinda high now….”
“Still getting higher….”
“I’d like to get down now!”
“I want down! I want down! I WANT DOWN!”
And now that we’re all caught up, let’s go back to the greek house.
“Did we ever named the greek house?”
No.
Sadly, Alan was broke, so not much stuff. Most of this was stolen from the dorms. Including his precious easel. But I gotta love cheap CC. A double bed for $50!
“I…. have to use this stuff?”
Yes. It was cheap cc. Don’t worry, the bathroom will be the first thing I replace.
Luckily, Alan has gotten a lot better at painting, so we can actually sell his stuff for a decent amount of cash~
Or, we could, if the gym couch didn’t barge in to make him work out. At least it was in good timing, he was getting a little pudgy.
“Hey!”
She’s gone now you know….
Aw, only $200 simmies?
“Well, I still have a few points to earn. New bathroom?”
Not yet.
“Aw…..”
Ya know, I’ve been thinking. It’s such a shame to waste this cheap double bed…. Sooo….
“Listen, I know this is weird but…. Well, my create won’t shush about it. I’m really sorr- eh? You want to? O-Okay….. Then…. I’ll make dinner?”
Hey look! People can actually faint from happiness!
“Whuh-whuh-whuh?”
Get up! You got a pretty, willing girl outside! And what a feminine why to recover from a faint….
Wow, getting randy already? I think I’m starting to get used to these one line slides. That‘s bad. But I’ll write more once I get more of a plot going. Give me time.
“Alan, look, it’s snowing outside. It’s beautiful~”
“Mmph? *swallows* Ah, I’ve never really been a fan of snow. I’m sensitive to the cold.”
Yeah. Shut up and woohoo.
“…K-Katy…..”
What…. are you doing?
“Katy Patch, I…. I know I’m not really the perfect man. And I may not be able to satisfy you, but I truly love you…..”
“So, if you’re willing to give me a chance… would you….”
“Marry me?”
“Oh, Alan! I-It’s beautiful! It must have cost you a fortune!”
Well, it’s not like sim rings even cost anyth-
“……”
I’ll shush…..
“Of course I’ll marry you! Oh Alan, I love you!”
Will you woohoo now?
“Katy…. I’m sorry but…. My creator really is a pervert. And we did sort of plan for this. I know I’m horrible for asking this but….”
“It’s alright. I understand. Trust me, I’ve met my fair share of legacy sims. But none as sweet as you.”
“……….”“……….”
Uhm…. Awkweird?Hey Alan! If you woohoo her, you’ll finally get her out of those secret society clothes!
Bingo.
“….. Good work.”“Nice job.”“Good effort.”
Oh god….
Katy looks adorable in her pajamas and Alan looks adorable in anything he wears. Though, why he’s wearing outerwear, I’ll never know. It’s summer!
“Ha-ha! I finally got you out of those secret society clothes!”
“Okay! Okay! You win1 Now stop tickling me!”
And I’m the only one who notices the irony of Alan suddenly being in the society outfit?
Huh….
I can got for the shirt, but not that pants. I never liked camo. I kinda miss her society outfit….
Stupid Llama.
I wanted to see what would happen if I had Alan paint himself painting himself.
It turned out quite interesting. But I still sold it.
Stupid cow.
Okay, seriously, just because this is a greek house doesn’t mean we don’t have a working doorbell!
And that’s it! Alan finally maxed out creativity, making him the official heir to the Logan throne. I love that little hat. Oh, by the way, how come you never had a toga party?
“Don’t like them.”
Katy in a bedsheet.
Well, that was easy. The first Toga party of Alan’s college years and it’s in the final semester of his senior year. I think it’s about time we get a placeholder. After a bit of thought, I decided on Macky. I hate her full name. I can’t friggen spell it.
Okay, you may hug your fiancé, then find a placeholder. By the way, that’s what he changed into after he made the party call. Whatever works…
“So, you don’t mind pledging to be a placeholder?”“Of course not! Being frozen in time sounds awesome!”“Okay….”
Hey. Free influence. You can have her write your term paper while you work on cooking, charisma and mechanical.“How many skills must I learn?”Lots.
A little while after the party, Alan maxed his cooking skill. It was around this time that I wanted to try the ‘write novel’ thing on the computer, though he’s never completed a novel before.
Although apparently the novel he’s been working on since freshman year paid off big time. And sorry for the stupid, build mode picture. I just wanted to show the basic upgrade.
Painting again?
“Yeah.”
No. Go study mechanical. You need it if you want to be an artist.
“There, I studied. Can I paint now?”
Ugh, you’re impossible. Just paint. Maybe we’ll get you a bathrub.
“Are you sure you don’t mind doing my term paper?”
She just got started?
“Not at all. Besides, you graduate in a few hours. You should enjoy yourself.”
And he did just that. This has been his first bath since he started college. It’s always been showers.
“I feel so relaxed~”
Yeah well, finals are in a couple of hours.
“Okay. I can do this. I can do this. I can do this.”
Go do it.
“I’m prepping!”
“Wish me luck, hun~!”
“Mmph!”
Now, is it just me, or has he gotten more outgoing….?
“Uggghh…”
Tired?
“Beyond. But hey. I’m finally done with college. Can we throw a party?”
You? The man with zero in outgoing!? Okay.
“Well, I think it’s time. I’m gonna miss you Macky.”
“Yeah yeah, no sappiness. Just make sure you make some good roommates for me. And where’s the makeover I was promised?”
Here she is~I think she’s cute, though I don’t know what she’s worried about. Since I’m a booger, you’ll have to wait until generation two moves into the greek house to find out her stats.
One last painting, huh?
“It symbolizes how hectic my college life has been.”
It’s the same painting you’ve been doing the past few years….
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! You said you could grow up!?
“You went to the bathroom and left triple speed on. We blew past the party. But it was a good one.”
Aw man… Well…. I guess this is it….. At least you grew up hot. Now it’s time to start the legacy. Until the next chapter folks! See ya!
