Asinette has just turned into a unfortunately respectable looking teen, albeit with a rather prominent profile. The orange hair dark skin combo looks rather exotically attractive on a female – DAMN IT!
Anyway, Ramin is a good friend of the family and Asinette calls him every few days when she is not hard at work studying (being a Knowledge Sim). Christy, having earned the Athletic career punching bag, turns in her running shoes for an apron and gets a job as a waitress. Thankfully this is the step before the reward promotion, so it should only be a matter of a day before that enters the house. The big hurry is that Sandy only has about 2 days left and is the only one in the house with a significantly high cooking skill to train the younger generation. Sandy is still going strong despite her age. She keeps having these piddling wants to flirt with one of her various conquests, so she’ll phone Kennedy, flirt, have that want replaced with one to flirt with Benjamin, so she’ll send Kennedy packing. The little 750 pt hits are barely getting her up into the mid green, but no WooHoo wants are forthcoming!
Not wanting to burn her hot tub want too soon she works on the slightly lesser want of being “best friends” with Neil LaTourneau, playboy firefighter. We all know where that’s going to end up. Neil rebuffs Sandy’s attempt to caress his face, but is more than willing to kiss her for hours on end. Oh well, whatever floats his boat – the best friendship is sealed.
Christy delivers the chocolate machine, then promptly quits her job for one in law enforcement, hoping to score the fingerprint scanner. Thankfully, Bacheek is the one with the high cleaning skill, so Sandy does not need to elixir. On Sandy’s second to last day to live, Asinette reluctantly blows off school (and takes a minor aspiration hit) so she can train on the chocolate factory with Grandma Sandy while she still can.
Sandy finally shakes the pesky “Fall in love with Ramin” want (that would have just been too awkward even though she would have been dead long before Anisette reached the age of consent). She invites Kennedy over for his daily flirt, but this time the flirting want is replaced by kiss, then make-out and finally the inevitable “WooHoo with Kennedy”. As luck would have it, Sandy also rolls up the WooHoo in bed want – it’s a double dip! Sandy is now positioned well for a platinum tombstone.
On her last day, Sandy gets the jones for Kennedy again. It’s a good thing he apparently has no job. The two top Sandy off a bit, and then around 2PM Sandy plays her trump card and springs for a hot tub. It’s purchase of course spawns the desire to “christen” it – and Kennedy is more than happy to oblige. Looks like Sandy is going to head out a happy woman, even after Benjamin Long later spurns her attempt to flirt with him causing a 750 point hit (Kennedy had left by that point and his absence created a need for Benjamin). 6PM comes…and goes. Then 7PM, 8PM – no Death. Could God have miscalculated? Sandy’s desire for public WooHoo is quickly locked and the plan is to go to bed and get up bright and early for a little “shopping” trip.
Christy heads off to bed, Asinette is finishing up a stint on the chessboard and Bacheek is off for a shower. Then a little box appears in the right hand corner of the screen informing the family of their inheritance. WTF? Sandy died?! Quick pan and there’s Death and his hula girls with Bacheek crying over his mom’s (thankfully) platinum urn. Apparently, no one else could be bothered. Well, that was rather anti-climactic.
The next day Bacheek invites Ramin over with the hope of enticing him to move in. He arrives, then promptly mourns Sandy ALL DAY. Seriously, Bacheek had to go to work and Ramin stood by that damn tombstone until he got back. Obviously there is no objection to Bacheek’s invitation. Ramin brings a paltry $1,000 to the party (despite inheriting from Sandy) and a personality of 8/2/5/0/7 (I just KNEW he’d have zero playful points – him and that damn chess board). Skills are 1/5/7/9/1/2/5 and Ramin is a Knowledge Sim – the streak continues. He parks himself in front of The Yummy Channel.
Christy gets the flu, but as luck would have it has the next three days off from work, so she stays in bed. Asinette continues her quest to be the BEST.SIM.EVER. Ramin gets a job in the Science Field (mostly to get the job reward). Christy brings home the fingerprint scanner and career hops again into the Slacker field. When she’s not working, she’s obsessively keeping up her many friendships. Asinette is still six days from adulthood with only about five skill points left to earn.
Sandy has an impressive stream of male mourners and has yet to haunt.
