When we last left our Heroine, Lottie Nott, she'd just realized that maybe the man she'd been hunting for days might not have been the catch she'd expected. So, in an attempt to fulfill 3 wishes at once (Meet a new Sim, Have 5 Friends, Get Married) I, Lottie's Maker, scour the town until I find an eligible single sim. Unfortunately, I told Lottie. Now she's stalking him.
Then why are you standing there with your yellow PlumbBob?
-I'm just meeting him!
Riiiiiiight. Suuuuuure.
Right on cue, here he is. The patsy I hired, er... found for Lottie. Ladies and Gents: Meet Sherman Bagley.
Shermy- Can I help you?
Lottie- You totally don't look like your Thumbnail. I like that. That's different.
Shermy- Oooookay.
Lottie? I kind of spruced him up in CAS before letting you get your claws into him.
Lottie- Nice.
Shermy- Are you ok?
Lottie-I'm better than okay. I'm awesome! Can I come in?
Shermy- I've met you all of two seconds ago and I routinely allow strangers into my home. Of course! Come on in!
Lottie helps things along by immediately (and predictably) wishing to know his sign. And while her quest for Officer Reed's sign was a bust this time...
Lottie- YES! My Astrologist will be SO stoked! We're totally compatible!
Shermy- Yay?
Lottie- So I gotta know. What do you do for a living?
Shermy- I'm a cop.
Lottie- *swoons. I love cops!
Shermy- Great!
Lottie- Like really. There was this one cop, and he arrested me, and I was SO in love with him, and-
Lottie?
Shermy- Arrested?
Lottie- Y'all act like I just said something wrong.
Oh Lottie.
Shermy- Nah. You seem really cool and I'd like to get to know you better. Shaka Bra!
Lottie- *Squee! Shaka Bra! Totally! Yes!
I let them play together for a little while as I realize I've never given Sherman Bagley much of a chance any other time I've played River view. However, he's the perfect idiot for Lottie in my opinion and we've still got that Get Married wish to fulfill. Lottie, being the ever compliant wisher, rolls a wish to group up with Sherman followed by a Sing Karaoke wish. Well, I am her personal Genie!
Tonight's version of Karaoke has Lottie singing so badly that Sherman is forced to attempt to hide...
...From no on in particular.
Even the proprietor can't be bothered to listen to these two and their caterwauling. She's far too focused on herself and wondering why I haven't taken the time to add a professional bar in here.
But enough about the self absorbed proprietor, back to Lottie.
Karaoke time over Lottie rolls a wish to Invite a Sim over. But first, I still have a wish in there to Have First Kiss. Hoping this leads to fulfilling that wish to Get Married I decide to give it a try.
Lottie- Shermy?
Shermy- Lottie?
Lottie- You're so cute.
Shermy- Yeah, I am.
Lottie- *SMOOCHIES!
Shermy- Aw! That was kind of cute.
Lottie- Yeah, I know. Wanna come back to my place? *waggles eyebrows
Shermy- Sure. What's wrong with your eyebrows?
Lottie- Nothing. Nothing at all.
So back to Lottie's house they go where they both fall into bed. Asleep. *facepalm. I'm never going to manage to get this Get Married wish fulfilled for you am I, Lottie?
Lottie- ZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZzzzzz
Damn you, Lottie.
Right around 3am Sherman gets out of bed. As the Maker I'm thinking he's leaving since that's what sims invited over tend to do in the middle of the night.
But instead, Sherman surprises me and makes the bed. Woot! You just earned a point. Here, have a cookie.
Shermy- Why am I hearing voices?
Because I'm officially pulling for you to stick around.
Shermy- Ooookay?
It's at this point that SP pops up to tell me he's knocked up Constance Shelley.
Sherman! I love you!
Shermy- Oh, I think I need to talk to the psychologist on duty next time I'm at work.
You do that Sherman. You do that.
It's at this point that the Shermanator proceeds to make sure I never ever let Lottie consider another sim to be her partner in this Wishacy.
He starts by washing all the dirty dishes Lottie has left around the house.
Deciding he still hasn't earned enough points to be considered the winner he starts picking up the expired soggy newspapers littering the front yard.
Shermy-Does this chick ever pick up anything?
No Sherman. Sadly, no.
However, he must have realized I like him a little too much and just had to show me that he was still his own sim by turning the tv onto the KidsStation.
My Eyes! MY EYES!
Shermy- *guffaws! That Bunny! He's so funny!! And look at the little dinosaur kids he's got on the show with him today! Bwaaahahahahaha!
You know you lose points for this, right?
Shermy- Don't care. Fun-ny!
Finally, Lottie emerges into her clean house, her green funky fog following her to the fridge where her hunger appears to have trumped her need for a shower.
Shermy- You're going to cook?
Lottie- Hungry. My Natural Cook trait trumps any need for a shower. Must.Eat.Now!
Shermy- That's, uh, kinda gross.
Lottie- FOOD!
Sherman then starts contemplating whether he'll actually eat anything Lottie prepares or not.
Lottie- Of course he will! No one can resist my cooking.
Really, Lottie? Has anyone else actually eaten your food yet?
Lottie-No, but-
-Then you don't know.
Lottie- Whatever.
Lottie and Sherman plop down on the couch to enjoy the pancakes she made.
Shermy- Before you even got out of bed this morning, I cleaned your house.
Lottie-Aw. That's sweet. *nomnomnom
Shermy- I cleaned dirty dishes. I picked up trash. I made the bed.
Lottie. You're so awesome! *nomnomnom
Shermy- But I can't clean you.
Lottie- In some cultures the smell of my funk would be considered a valuable spice added to the dish.
Sherman- Riiiiiight.
But he eats anyway. And Lottie does indeed manage a bath before going to work where she's promoted to Substitute Teacher.
-I wanna do a ground mural!
Really Lottie? After what happened last time do you think that's such a good idea?
-Of course it is! Shermy is totally on my side and he's a cop.
You don't think Officer Reed might have something to say if he should find out?
-Aw, screw Officer Reed.
Isn't that exactly what you wanted to do?
-Leave me alone! I want to do a Ground Mural!
Fine...
-There! Finished! *Gasp! I heard something! Is that the fuzz?
Lottie!
-What?
You wanted to buy a new recipe at the book store? Go for it.
-Yay!
Emerging from the bookstore the first person she runs into is Constance Shelley who (is in her maternity wear) SP knocked up by Sherman while he spent the night with Lottie last night. Immaculate Conception? Check!
But look who else is here Lottie? Wanna go ahead and get that Get Married wish out of the way?
-Absolutely! Who's Constance Shelly?
Never Mind. There's Sherman behind the store. Go get 'em Lottie!
So Lottie does indeed go and start to lay some moves onto Sherman, right in front of Constance Shelley. But wait! What's this? It appears Constance is only concerned about herself in this situation. Let's watch!
Sure enough, Constance decides to go and confront her Baby Daddy who breaks off mid-flirt with Lottie. Unfortunately, judging by the look on his face, he's expecting this to go fairly well.
Constance- You big fat cheater!
Sherman- Hey! The Watcher helped me bring my Weight down! I'm not nearly as odd looking now!
Constance- I don't care about your Weight Watcher! You and me? We're through!
Lottie- Awww! Looks like someone else needs a Snickers.
Constance- And to make it worse this thing you've traded me for is a complete idiot!
Shermy- *spluttering. But I- It wasn't- Trust me I thought I- I wasn't-
Constance- No! No more! I won't accept your lies! You and me? We're through!
Sherman- But- But I- But-
Lottie- You're through with him? Really?
Constance- Really.
Lottie- Thanks!
Lottie- Hey, Sherman?
Constance- *Huffs
Shermy- Yes?
Lottie- Will you be my boyfriend?
Shermy- Of course!
Constance- What?!?
Constance- But, but but, I'm carrying your baby!
Shermy- Lady, I'm not even sure I've met you before.
Lottie- Really Lady? You're being a real buzz kill.
Constance- ...
Lottie- You know what would cheer me up after her down? A kiss! C'mere Boyfriend!
Constance- This is disgusting.
Yes. Yes it is. But we've got wishes to fulfill, so Onward Lottie!
Lottie- You got it!
Loving the new blog look!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving Shermy. Especially his nickname :p
"You totally don't look like your Thumbnail. I like that. That's different." Pahahahaaa!!
Also love that he's a copper too :p Lottie certainly has a type!
And the drama factor with Constance just makes this all the more fun. Hope she can marry him soon! No worries about rolling wishes like that as it's already done! :p
Thank you! I like it too. lol
DeleteI couldn't resist using The Shermanator. Hubs and I both were talking about American Pie and how obsolete it is now just the other day. Ha!
Ah, Lottie! Not the brightest bulb I'm afraid!
IKR? Never had a sim have a type quite like she does before.
Yes!!! It thrilled me when I got the pop up that Shermy had somehow knocked up this chick he's never met before. I figured it would be good drama! And fun too!
Shaka bra, yo! Seems like she's finally met the cashew to her pecan!
ReplyDeleteTeehee! I've never heard cashew to her pecan! That's awesome! And yes. Yes she has!
DeleteShermy is clearly the better candidate for spouse.
ReplyDeleteI'd keep him too, ant Sim that cleans is gold in a wishacy.
I loved the drama with Constance; I'm glad you were able to get them nicely broken up so Lottie could claim him.
The 'I don't care about your Weight Watcher' line really cracked me up.
I LOVE that he cleaned! As soon as he did I quit making plans to start messing with the ages of other townies. He wins!
DeleteLol! He really hasn't ever met her. It's hilarious! I've never had SP do that before. So fun.
Yeah, me too. lol. But he's such an odd shape! I couldn't let him stay like that. If the weight slider had been all the way up it wouldn't have been so bad, or lumpy.
Yay! She got her man!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Sherman knocked her up the night before spending the night at Lottie's. It would make sense since sims don't realize they're preggers until day 2 anyhow.
Love that he cleaned. My genie sims do it all the time. I guess genies like clean.
It could have been. He still has to do a "Friendly Introduction" with her later on. lol. Though she was in his relationship panel as a romantic interest. Obvs, I hadn't checked at this point. But to the point.
DeleteYes! Lottie finally caught a man! And a good one (at this point. lol) Wow. That's a handy tidbit. I haven't messed around much with supernaturals yet. Except for Vampires. It was their insane cheatiness that kind of turned me off of others. Ah we... Random Legacy randomness often forces us out of our box. ;)
