Generation 2, University Chapter 3

Vacha Family


Burdock has recently discovered the pleasure that is the band Llama Mama. He hasn't managed to acquire any of their concer shirts, but he did snag one of their posters.


And just because I think he's such a cutie, here's a nice closeup of Burdock. I still don't understand why it's so hard to see his bright green eyes in all these pictures though. :-(


Uh-oh... Oscar has shown up again and obviously Burdock still remembers him from the break-in when he was a child!


Heh, fooled ya! Burdock has actually been working hard at making Oscar a friend. Although I didn't realize Sim State University was located in France. *watches the men kiss cheeks*


I do really want the NPC point for bringing the burglar into my family, but OMG that nose is just SCARY!! *shudders*


"Excuse me, boy, but my eyes are up HERE!"
"Yeah, but, wowza, that dress..."
That's it, way to wow the ladies, Burdock. You know, you did better when you were a child.


Ah, yes, I see. The ever popular way to win a lady's heart. Smacking her as hard as you can in the head with a feather pillow. How silly of me not to have thought of it sooner!


Such lovely genetics I'm giving my sims here though... Burdock has Talin's lips. I suspect he's still got Talin's Cro-Magnum brows lurking in his genetic cesspool somewhere. And now I'll be bringing in Jill's nose. *sigh* I'm doomed to ugly sims. I just know it...


Whatdyaknow! Smacking the Diva in the head with a pillow seems to have worked! Well, okay, so did the 2 Dream Dates in a row, but we'll pretend we didn't know that.


*rubs her hands together in a mercenary fashion* Ah yes... what did you bring our poor college boy, Miss Fancy Britches?


Score! A DJ booth! Exactly what every college fraternity needs! *dance*


No, I didn't slip a picture of Basil in here by mistake. I think Burdock was either really upset about what happened on his favorite soap or he's been taking repair lessons from Basil. Either way, I'm worried. We need to get him graduated and on to the real world. College stress is obviously getting to him...


"So, um, how 'bout those Knicks?"
If that's not the epitomy of awkwardness, I don't know what is. Poor boy...


Somehow, I completely forgot to take pictures of Burdock losing his cherry, but, well, here they are after the deed, so I guess they got over that awkward stage. :-)


Shy much, Jill?
"Hey, when you have it, there's no reason not to flaunt it, right?"


Okay, I see Burdock doesn't mind Jill's floozy, um, I mean, outgoing ways.
"Aeronwy?"
Yeah, Burdock?
"Buzz off, will you?"
....


So, er, oh, here we go.
Yay! Got a car port added to the fraternity! Burdock was never able to afford to buy a car, but at least Gen 3 will have somewhere to park one when they get to school. (Although I've decided each generation will have to spend a minimum of 1 year in the dorms, before being allowed to start pledging Var-Annya. That way they can make friends with other students and stuff.)


Um, Burdock? Wha- uh, what are you doing in there?
"Aeronwy?!? Why are you barging in to my bathroom? Go away!"
*giggles wickedly* Seems I've let it go too long between dates with Jill for our poor boy here, doesn't it...


Geeze, Burdock. If you were that desperate, I would have had her come to your home where you'd have a little privacy!
"She said she wanted to get pictures of us, you know, 'in action.' So, we figured we'd sneak into one of the photo booths."
Didn't think to keep it down while you were in there though, did you.
"Heh, no, we didn't. Fortunately, Crumplebottom isn't around, so it's all good."


"At last, my love has come along,
My lonely days are over,
And life is like a song.

Ohh at last
The stars above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover,
The night I looked at you.

I found a dream that I could speak to,
A dream that I can call my own,
I found a thrill to press my cheek to,
A thrill that I have never known.

Ohh you smile, you smile
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven,
For you are mine at last!"
At Last, by Etta James


"Alright, I did the gushy stuff. Do not make me do that again, Aeronwy. It was embarassing."


Based on the gift Jill just left you, Burdock, I'd say she rather enjoyed you serenading her. So you might have to do it again. *whistles innocently*


*sigh* This poor boy. He always seems to have the most bizarre expressions on his face when he transforms. Yes, Burdock is already graduating college. I mean, there's not all that much exciting to show here, so no need to bore you all to tears any more than I have. ;-) That and I don't want him murdering any more innocent televisions.


And we'll close with a better shot of Burdock as an adult. Tell me he's not an absolute hottie. :-D He even grew into his lips (mostly). You can almost see the gorgeous bright green eyes I hope he passes on to his heir (and if I'm really lucky, she'll have the slanted eyes too) -- if you click on the picture, it'll show up a little bit bigger (not much, but a little) and you can see his eyes better.

It is nice to see that Suzie Futa has managed to bring out a more normal side to Basil. True, they still spin up wants to WooHoo pretty much wherever they are, but they also constantly spin up wants to play and hug and flirt and give backrubs to each other. :-) (I can't imagine what a three-lighting bolt couple must be like!)


Basil has even been making lots of friends! Except for the fact that he -never- spun up the want to become Big Man on Campus, he'd made enough friends during his 4 years there to have succeeded. I've never seen the cafeteria worker come out from behind the counter, grab a bowl of his food, and sit down with one of the students before. And yes, he was still on shift!


*covers her eyes* These two really need to have like curtains or something up around them. Constantly!


Basil had a blast working as the DJ (and yes, he found yet another excuse to take his shirt off) and frequently spun up wants to do it again.


Poor Suzie, however, wasn't having -quite- as much of a blast at school. I don't know what originally set these two off, but Suzie and Kacper have hated each other since first semester Freshman year. Although it looks like Kacper tried to kiss Suzie here and she didn't appreciate it. (I wasn't paying attention to her until she'd already slapped him. And since I can't control either of these two, it's not always easy to see what they're up to. But they definitely made college interesting!)


Wussy-boy. Letting a girl see you cry like that! And whoo, does Suzie still look pissed.


Yup, they got into a nice tussle here.


I think this is the same fight, but I'm not sure. These two fought literally every day. Doesn't help that their rooms were directly opposite each other in the dorm. *snicker*


Hey, what a surprise! Suzie and Kacper are fighting again! And what does Basil do each time they start to fight? He goes running into his room. Probably because he knows there's no way he'd come out ahead if he got in the middle of his fiance and his best friend fighting. Yup, Kacper was the first friend Basil made in the dorms, after Suzie. :-)


And here's something I would have PAID to see in school. The cheerleader and the mascot getting into a hair-pulling, knockdown fight. And what's our boy doing? Chatting on the phone. He is SO not interested in all this fighting going on all around him. Not quite sure what's up with that... maybe there's not enough blood? Either that, or he's putting on an act for the other students.


Yup, Basil traipsing around without his shirt. Again. He really should just hook up with that guy and get it out of his system already. His constant thinking about him is sort of weirding me out, since that's the ONLY guy he'll get hearts about.


And lookie who's finally made it to college! Yeah, yeah, I know. That was rather abrupt. There are just a couple of household pictures from the time when Basil left until Burdock left. Not enough for its own chapter, so they'll show up in the first chapter after Basil graduates.

But remember my comment about Burdock being even brighter than his brother? He had 8's in all skills (except Body, which I specifically kept low, to give me an easy boost for those random "gain skill point" wants). He also had the Overachiever and the A+ grants. They don't have a pool table and I didn't work on his dancing much, so he didn't get those. *shrugs*


Erm, okay, I didn't realize this was going to look SO tiny. So, anyway, Burdock called the registrars office and registered as a Biology Major the moment he walked into his dorm. (He wasn't assigned the same dorm as Basil. Alright, fine, I admit it. I didn't want to put him into the same dorm and risk either Suzie or Kacper moving out. Their daily, sometimes more than once per day, fighting made me giggle.) His next order of business was to get rid of the hiddeous suit his mom insisted he show up at college in. I don't know -what- she was thinking, putting someone with his skin coloring in a deep purple suit with a bright pink turtleneck. *shudders*


Aaah, there we go. MUCH better! One thing I don't quite get with this kid... he makes some of the most bizarre expressions, for absolutely no reason whatsoever. Oh well. He's still a hottie. And he does have eyebrows, Kristen! He's just got his mom's delicate eyebrows, instead of his dad's Cro-Magnam eyebrows. :-b


I can't remember her name, but this -was- going to be Burdock's college sweetheart. I can't remember if they had 2 or 3 lighting bolts, but it was an instant attraction between them. She wasn't going to become his wife, 'cause she's a townie and not an NPC, but he would have had fun anyway. Instead, she became the dorm's living statue. I logged out of the game, I went to a different neighborhood, anything I could think of. She stayed like this the entire year Burdock lived in the dorm. (Basil's cafeteria worker did the same thing, but I put in a second stove, and another cook showed up. About a sim-week later, the first cook started moving again, so I deleted the second stove.)


And here's the on-campus house the boys moved into. They don't have much, since buying the house took most of their available cash, but they were able to *cough* "borrow" a few necessities from the dorms when they moved in. Burdock plans to found a Greek House here, Var-Annya Fraternity. (Closest I could get to anything remotely resembling Vasha.)


And what is one of Burdock's first orders of business in the new home? Why, set himself on fire, of course! The boy has a cooking skill of EIGHT and was making a bloody grilled cheese sandwich. Geeze. At least he'd met Weldon, a potential NPC mate for the daughter he'll have to make his heir. Who, of course, I forgot to snap a picture of.


Right after setting himself on fire (and for a Sim with max neat points, I would have thought he'd be -running- for the shower, but no...), he decided the computer needed fixing. I sat there chewing on my fingernails, figuring that 8 Mechanical skill wasn't going to save him from getting electrocuted. Fortunately, I was wrong.


Their first environment enhancing item! A present Suzie left on the doorstep for Basil. Isn't she sweet?


Yeah, I apparently got -really- sloppy with remembering to take pictures. Anyway, Basil has finished school, summa cum laud, with a degree in... erm, Philosophy I think? I dunno. Something that'll help him achieve his goal of becoming a professional party guest. ;-)


Poor Burdock looks so sad to see his brother leaving so soon. Either that, or he's wondering what the heck Basil was thinking, wearing this outfit. He's not exactly the hippy type, you know? So, next time, you'll either get to see Burdock's remaining college years or Basil as he adjust to adult life. Whichever strikes my fancy. ;-)

Yeah, I know. This chapter was kinda lame. :-/ It's hard to make everyday college stuff exciting though. But I wanted to get something up with both boys here. *shrugs* I'll do better next chapter, I promise.

Generation 2, University Chapter 1

Hey there, Pipsqueak. I know you've been debating pushing for early graduation at high school or not. Well, let me tell you, college is AMAZING! The freedom is heady. Not just for me, but for all of us. Hopefully you'll be able to blow through high school in 3 years and make it to Sim State before I graduate. Yeah, I know. Mom wanted us both to stay in Strangetown for school, but I've gotta tell you, it's exhilirating, being around so many people.


My first day in the doorm, I found out all of the buildings here are co-ed and I've got this -sweet- honey living in the room next to me. We plopped down on the floor to just chat and get aquanted and she LAID DOWN AND SPREAD HER LEGS! I couldn't believe what I was seeing! Suzie grew up in Pleasantville and I guess folks are a lot ... freer there or something.


So I flirted with her and gossiped and walked about in my pajama bottoms often (you know the girls back in high school always loved watching me play basketball in just my shorts).


Heck, I even gave her my patented Basil Backrub.


And then under the willow tree, I managed to sneak a kiss.


She said I curled her toes, kissing her like that!


Unfortunately, despite showing me the goods, that was as far as she was willing to go that day. Talk about needing a cold shower.


Well, I figured a cosmopolitan honey like this needed to be wined and dined before she'd give up the goods. So, maybe I exagerated a bit about the money our family has. But she didn't have to know that, right?


After a fabulous night downtown, we headed back to the dorms. Fortunately, she didn't want the evening to end any more than I did. Before I knew it, we were rolling around on my bed, getting all hot and heavy. I swear, if I had to take a cold shower that night, that chick woulda been gone in my book!


However, turns out she was wanting it just as much as I was. And you know something, Pipsqueak? What they say about sex... well, it doesn't even come close to the real thing! I saw stars when we peaked!


I'm glad she was really ready for it by the time we got to the deed, if you know what I mean, because Suzie had been a virgin too. But from the smile she gave me afterwards, I guess I did things right.


Okay, back from class and doing my homework. Mom would -kill- me if I got anything less than a 4.0, as I'm sure you know quite well. So, where was I... Oh yeah, Suzie.


Suzie asked me if I'd ever "experimented" with playing the other side. At first I didn't realize what she was talking about, but when I did, I told her no, I hadn't. But there was this one guy I'd seen around campus I wouldn't mind trying with.


Although I let Sweet Suzie know in no uncertain terms that she definitely had -all- the right equipment for this man!


I think we made a bit of a scene at the restaurant though and the matre de asked us to leave. I don't know what his problem was. It's not like we were getting stains on the seats. Yet. Hehe


So Suzie and I rushed back to the dorm and hopped into the hot tub. Next thing I know, she's crawling on my lap!


Let me tell you, that was the BEST hot tub soak I've ever had! I swear, ever since our first time together, we're like rabbits or something.


She even told me she wanted to try it with handcuffs next time. When I asked her which one of us was going to be tied down, she giggled and said we'd take turns!


Towards the end of the year, we decided to risk going back to that fancy-pants restaurant. I realized over the course of the year that I wasn't going to find another woman like Suzie. She was into all the same things I was and she didn't care about some of my "oddball quirks" as mom calls them.


So, I figured I should pop the question. I mean, she's got a slamming body, a brilliant mind, and is always ready for a quick tumble no matter where we are. What more could a boy ask for!


She realized we were definitely made for each other and said yes without a moment's hesitation. I know mom and dad will freak and say I'm too young. But we're not dropping out of school and we won't get married until we both graduate. But I wasn't willing to risk her slipping into another man's bed while I wasn't looking!


(Yes, in case you haven't already figured it out, Suzie is a Romance sim. Hence why she was CONSTANTLY spinning up wants on their dates to have sex... well, -everywhere-.)


We toasted to a long and happy life together (which, as long as we both stay as gorgeous as we are, we'll keep wanting to WooHoo, which means we'll be happy) and then I flagged down a cab to take us home.

So hurry up through college! You've gotta meet Suzie and I'll introduce you around to other folks.
~Basil


Oh! I almost forgot! When you get here, watch out for Mrs. Crumplebottom. Apparently she terrorizes everyone around town. She's got this overinflated opinion of her own opinions and has an absolute fit whenever someone so much as holds hands in public. And I think she keeps a brick in her purse.


She's definitely an absolute loon though.

P.S. Give mom and dad my love.
