A "Become One With Russia" challenge attempt

By Captain Chaotica!!

PART NINE

~AOOOOOOOOO!~ Werewolves of Strangetown!

Last time, Russia and Germany went on a honeymoon-date to the Crypt O'Night Club and the Botannical Gardens restaurant, to celebrate their new marriage. (Actually they "celebrated" it four times in one day--as if they were the "wait-until-marriage" type of newlyweds, the little liars.) They met Germania attempting to disco-dance at the club, Liechtenstein was introduced to the wonderful world of underage substance-abuse, and Switzerland of course stole Russia's food rather than pay for his own meal. Natch. Back home, the Micronations grew up into teens and gods help us all.



Five. Five pregnant Sims at once (GUESS why Germany was passing out at the restaurant?).
FIVE. And I have the Triplets and Quads hack.
...help me?



LADONIA: EEeeyyy, Sim-Goddess! How ya doin'?
LITHUANIA: (falls asleep in his dinner, although he's not one of the pregnant ones)



Ukraine, however, definitely is. And look--pink dust!



VENEZIANO: I'm sad that I'm dancing.



And you can't tell, but Spain just popped into his third trimester. (He popped into the second during the wedding.)



Then Taiwan...(bangs head against desk) Of COURSE there are. Of course.



PHEW. It actually was just two. There you go, Taiwan! You finally have BABIES! Babybabybabybabybabybabybaby.
Not knowing much of anything in the Taiwan + sci-fi department, I went to mythology instead and named the alien twins after Chinese sky-gods. The girl is Chang'e, after the goddess of the moon, and the boy is Lei Shen, one of the variant names for the "Duke of Thunder".



Ha! Slightly out of order there, dear.



Chang'e, who actually does look part alien...



...and Lei Shen, who doesn't. At all. Huh.
(Doesn't Taiwan look GORGEOUS in this picture? I didn't make her so I can't take credit, but man she's pretty.)



(sings, dramatically) FIIIII-GAAAA-ROOOOOOOO! Seriously, I looked at what the cat was doing and the icon said "Sing Along". ;)



WHOAH! Apparently that vindictive streak is in all of Russia's kids! Geezus!



Anyway, YAY, BABY!



And Norway passes out on the bathroom floor. Welcome to an ISBI household, Norway!



Utterly failing to meet any more nations walking down the street or on the 'net for several days, I decide to start a business. And what kind? The same kind of business I ALWAYS start, Pinky--a home venue!



Ukraine approves of business. :)



More chaos dinner! I just like these scenes.



This charming fellow is the guy Romano kept tormenting for hours at the Crypt O'Night club--so hey, at least this time the newspaper-stealer has an actual REASON to be mad at the household!



Heh. I still have almost no artwork on the walls, so I hung up the First Simoleon plaque. Why not.
(Yes, Himaruya Highway. I would've gone with "United Nations Plaza", but that's what I named the original house the G8 were living in before I started the challenge, aka "The Embassy".)



Hmmm...Switzerland is the type to just grab whatever he can get, but also business-savvy. I say he tells his boss.



SCORE!



At first I was like, "Ohmygod, why is she dying?!"...until I remembered she (and everybody else) STILL has the flu. Or, again. Whatever.



FRANCE: Pardon moi! I can't get to the toilet five feet away because I'm holding this toddler!
Well, there IS an obvious solution to this dilemma...



Our new business is at least drawing the local goths out of their dens, but no nations so far.



Comparison shot of France and Sealand. Originally I thought Sealand just totally looked like England, but now I can totall see France in there, too.
Also the framing/pose on this shot looks like either an album cover, or one of those pretentious-"sexy" perfume ads with the whispering voice. :P



What? Warn her, Figaro! Nobody messes with OUR star and gets away with it!



...oops. Well, at least she wasn't fired this time.



Hey, free meal coupon. We can use that next time we go downtown and fail to meet nations!



She HAS food, game! Right there! But awww, wookit the poor...sad...kitty-face! :( (heart rips out)



Since Norway made the floor look so comfortable, Kepler decides to try it out too.



...um...Wally, this is the same kid who wanted to rip out your spleen with a pickaxe when she was TWO, and you're deliberately trying to make contact with her now that she's bigger? Are you NUTS?!
...also, she's like, ten, and it's the middle of the day on a weekday. Gee, I wonder where a SCHOOLkid might be, on a SCHOOL day?



BOOyah. EAT it, game.



Germany, that's all adorable (and kinda shippy) that you naturally gravitate towards Italy's kid 'n' all but FEED HIM, don't just stand there grinning into the camera!



Berlin and Odessa, the little cousins, go out to play catch in the rain. Awww.



TAIWAN: Hello! I would like to call your attention to the fact that I rule--and I also STINK!



Bwoomp! again. More pink dust. I think it's because my game has slowed down, not that I've gotten any faster.



Vatican and Ladonia make best friends over cups of espresso and aww, lookie Italy actually parenting his own kid in the background.



Germany (invisibly) bwooomp!s while...the entire game complains at me. Consarnit.



Kepler grew up well according to her blue hourglass, but you'd never know from her expression...



What? Console--what? What's with the lost-love? What?
Seriously, I checked Britain's, Germany's, Kepler's and even Russia's memories, and I cannot for the LIFE of me figure out what just happened here.



-3500 and she's crying. WHY. :(



(heart rips in half) AWWWW...! :( Why...what's...what happened? She's acting as if somebody just DIED! What? On the other hand, I've never seen this "console" interaction before, ever. And it is painfully precious...
Also, to have the man who's been madly in love with her mom since forever but who never took The Chance to Tell Him, so he's like almost part of the family, be the one to do the consoling, is just...yeah. Sniff.



Meanwhile, on a more lighthearted note...gee, I wonder WHY you want to "hire" Wally, Lithuania. And in what "position", exactly? I see right through your little reindeer games, dude.



With Russia about to collapse, I take a chance on asking Turkey to move in.



And no. Dangit, but I didn't actually expect it to work anyway.



Germany reacts to...whatever the heck tragedy just afflicted his second-born by...reciting poetry?



Pretentiously.



The new espresso machine is a little TOO popular. Coffee cups. All over the floor. Coffee cups. I swear, I am going to find out who's doing this, and I am going to HARM them.



AWOOOO! Oh, yeah, it's Ukraine's night to wolf out. Almost forgot about that.



THANK you, Norway.



Being schmoozed up gives Turkey a customer-loyalty star? Ha!



And Molossia gets 1,000 points over...nothing. Well, it might be Meeting Someone New, from a customer.



The teens hang out peacefully, which is good--but in a pile of filth, which is bad.



UKRAINE: I don't feel so good...



HA! I get to see a werewolf giving birth! Firsts all over the place, in this session. :)



Thank god it's only one. A little girl, Chernovtsy* (after the first Ukrainian city name that sounded feminine I could find on my beat-up old globe) Lee, as in, the very common Chinese name, because her "father" is Taiwan. This means Taiwan now has THREE babies, so she had better shut up for a while. She won't, of course, but...

*I am now aware that on Wikipedia this is spelled more like "Chairnovtsi", but gimme a break--the globe in question is SO OLD, it still has the Soviet Union, East and West Germany, and Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia as single countries! REALLY! I'd buy a new one, except that now it's kinda gone past merely "out-of-date" and into "historically interesting".



ANCIENT GREECE: (surrounded by pregnant women and parents) Everybody has babies but me...
Actually, you've got, well, modern-Greece. BABIES at the moment no, but offspring, yes.



Clown-car bathroom again: "YAY, BABY!"



And yes, I actually did have Russia fight his way through the crowd to try again with Turkey now. It's like, 2 in the morning and he's about to leave.



Hug!



YES! And Turkey becomes another nation to become one with Russia in the bathroom.
...wait.



Thank you, neatnik customer, whoever you are.



I'VE GONE INSANE THERE ARE ALREADY 27 SIMS AND A CAT IN THIS HOUSEHOLD AND THREE OTHERS ARE STILL PREGNANT. Eek.



Loading the game back up for a new session, I to to one of my auxilliary Hetalia houses to give somebody a makeover--and in the only TWO MINUTES I was there, Poland and Greece do this.
...
I know I have ACR but good goddess my nations are sluts! :P



ANYway. Back to the main house, here's the neighborhood family screen. Germany is now holding two babies that are not his, Russia has another, Berlin is doing the Helicopter Arms of Doom and Britain is right ticked off. And lol at Werewolf Ukraine.



New basement facilities--since Sims often tend to hang out right in front of the elevator doors upstairs, therefore blocking everybody, I figured I'd slap some extra stuff down here. There's room. A few (spacy, futuristic) beds, a few bathrooms, and a couple vending machines for food. Not much, but something.



Back upstairs, guess whose turn it is!



Thank GOD only one.



SPAIN: I dunno...



And here's her name. Yay! (Incidentally this is the second time she got born--it was a girl with this appearance and name last time, too. Only difference is, last time my computer--not just the game--crashed before I could save. That's why there are no pictures of the first time, either--Hypersnap also crashed.)



And her closeup.



Everybody piles in of course--and somehow Sealand manages to freak out from TWO ROOMS AWAY and through FOURTEEN SIMS. (cracks up)



ITALY: zzzzzBaby!zzzzz...



What...the...
I think Taiwan is broken.
(Nah, she was just going to hug the cat--but my game lagged at an opportune moment. :P)



Even the neatnik customer comes in to "YAY, BABY!" and France thinks the money from Russia's business somehow counts as his.



Here he's just made BFF's with...someone. Vatican? Liechtenstein?



And now Molossia. Well, nice to see adults getting along with their own kids.



Oh come on, Turkey. You can do better than a Maxis-fug townie.



Spain's new look. I realised that, as usual, I'd given someone the wrong eye-colour (which is really odd considering these are anime characters--they're ALL eyes!) and I think this hairdo is slightly closer. I'm still not 100% sure about it, but considering how slowly my game loads when I go to Change Appearance in a normal house, he may have to stay this way a while.



Haha. "I beat my sister! Games are AWESOME!"
VATICAN: AAANNNNNGGGSSSTT!
Guess which expansion pack I just installed? :D



D'awww. France is kid-foot-dancing, Sealand is being adorable with the toddlers...who are you people and what have you done with my Sims?



And now he's BFF's with Odessa!



Ukraine thinks their bonding is so cute, she doesn't even notice it's pinning her into a corner from which she might never escape.
And GEEZ, Britain, take a number. Lithuania seems to be filling the same role in my challenge that Poland did for Sushigal--the non-Romance Sim whose bed practically needs traffic cops.



Well, my SIMS seem to like Spain's new look, at least.



Man, France is just BFFing all over the place today. That's totally a word now.



Norway being adorable with someone else's baby, as usual...Chernovtsy Lee, I think? Not sure. She and Lei Shen have about the same colouring.



Said "games activity" consisted of watching someone else play video games. Oh, yeah, real enthusiasm there, Spain. Of course, I watch several Let's Play-ers on the 'net semi-regularly, so I can't really say anything...


Apparently kid-foot-dancing gives "music and dance" enthusiasm--who knew? And aww, lookit Lithuania actually interacting with his own actual kid. Aww.
(Kepler stayed in that room and kept dancing with anybody who would do so for HOURS. She's a dancing fool. However, that doesn't appear to be her One True Hobby.)



While Spain merely complains about the garbage, Turkey actually--here's a thought--does something? GASP!



And Ukraine's OTH is literature! First one I've had, I think. Doesn't she look elegant here? Which is nice, considering how much of a dork she usually is.



All right! Christy Toyonaga randomly high-fives Turkey.



Isn't this a sweet, domestic little scene--you know, aside from the floorbaby?



SPAIN: Look! Isn't that Greece right over there, just waiting to be conquered?
TURKEY: Where? Where?
CHRISTY: (is not fooled at all)



SPAIN: (BOOF!!)



Turkey: ++
Sims are weird. :)



And Kepler is the first one to find the...well I was going to call it the "toddler table", but it's not, of course. The artsy-craftsy kid-table thinger.



Of course, he won't stay that way. I even had Russia make some Grandma's Comfort Soup but because everybody was blocking the counter, he couldn't serve it and nobody could eat it!



It's (American) football season!--for Russia and Taiwan of all nations. (I think. Fall is football, right? I know it's apparently a big tradition to watch one of the major "Bowls" on Thanksgiving..(A Thursday in late November, for you non-Yanks.) Anyway, have some pretty leaves.



And that's as good a place to stop off as any. CAN Russia and Taiwan's team win the Rose Bowl? WILL Ukraine's new little wolf-cub also become a werewolf when she grows up? And WHAT the heck was the deal with poor Kepler, anyway?

TUNE IN NEXT WEEK where we utterly fail to find out the answers to any of these questions--same Sim time, same Sim channel!
