Chapter 5: You're A Llama, No You're A Llama

Just what everyone wants to see on a nice day out- random Sims unconscious on the floor -_-

Ladies and gentlemen, we are still in glitch hell. However, I'm willing to put that aside for one moment as there are more important things going on today...



It was kind of inevitable in a way right? Jackson is one of what seems like only a few hotties living in Twinbrook, so it was only a matter of time before he and Bellamy locked lips.



Howevers, before you think Bell's an oh-so-bad person for smooching on her best friend's boy, I'll have you know that Jackson and Poppy broke up a couple of days before Bellamy made her move- so there.
...Still, Poppy seems a little perturbed... mebbe they should keep their thing on the down low for a while.



After their first brief kiss, Bellamy tried to lure Jackson out somewhere quiet to do it again, but the damn tease kept standing her up! She'd ask him out, he'd say yes, and then nuffink- he just wouldn't show up >: (



Meanwhile, Zuma was looking scared as she ushered in olde age :(



...Okay...

It's an interesting look for an OAP, I'll give her that.



Whilst Zuma continued to churn out sculptures, Zion was doing some similar skilling as he painted a picture of Humperdink.

It's shit ennit? Portraits always turn out so crappy in this game >: |



What was going better though was Bellamy's skillage. As a fashionista in training Bellamy put in a lot of hours at the old drawing board 'researching new fashion concepts', i.e.- doodling.



Meanwhile, Humperdink pursued his apparent new hobby...
I think Dink's starting to get over the coffee machine, I'm just a little bit concerned about what, or who, he's going to try to woo next...



But slightly stalkerish robots were the last thing on Bellamy's mind. It had been several days since she and Jackson had shared their first kiss and she hadn't heard from him since, despite her persistence...

Ah, but you know what they say though- good things come to those who wait ;)







There there Winter, calm down- she had to grow up some time.



Speaking of which, soon enough it was also time for Indigo to also join teenagedom.



O_O And the award for most surprising transformation goes to...



Sorry Bells, you've got competition girl.



A brief hiatus now as I bring you news of my gnomes... they're still lurking. I have I think five now- recently Zuma got one from sculpting. But yeah, they're freakish and they like to hang out in Humperdink's garden. Naice.



Speaking of freakishness... On a trip to Bellamy's friend Rachel's house guess what I discovered? An elderly Apple Rotten dancing around like a massive spaz with a bag of laundry attached to her hand o_O For a minute there I thought the death by flies thing from Sims2 had come back, but sadly not.



Oh, and the spazzyness continued back at home as Zuma got a little bit overzealous with the blowtorch whilst sculpting...



I kept clicking for Zuma to go put herself out in the shower but she wouldn't budge, so it was a relief when the maid showed up to save the day. Apparently all the other Sims who live in the house just don't give a fig...



*smirk*



As the days continued in the Heart household Bellamy spent most of her time out with her friends, as usual. Howevers, Jackson was sadly absent as by now he'd aged up to a Young Adult and he had a new girlfriend! The cheek of it...



Now that Indigo was also a teen, and seen as she used to follow Bellamy's gang around when she was a child, Bellamy decided to be nice and invite her little sis out with the crew.

...But maybe that wasn't so wise.



Oh dear. Now you may be thinking 'what's the big deal?', but y'see the thing is Dexter already has a girlfriend...



Poor Poppy.



Following Indigo's despicable behaviour, Bellamy was understandably ticked off by it all. She'd invited her sister out as a gesture of friendship and Indigo had repaid her by trying to destroy Poppy's relationship, so naturally she wanted to know what gave.



But there's something I probably should have mentioned about Indigo sooner... She's Evil, and she just doesn't give a fuck.
All throughout her toddler and child years you never would have guessed- she was such a sweet little thing- but now the devilish side is starting to come out a little bit...



But Bellamy doesn't stand for such nonsense... I didn't even have to tell her to do this yanno- she just swung for Indigo straight off.



Now now girls, play nice. Please?



After The Night of the Unfortunate Kiss, Bellamy and Indigo were at war.



Every time I was off checking on the other members of the household I'd come back and find them just screaming at each other, or in Bellamy's case taking the piss a bit.



Oh, and Bellamy kept belting Indigo round the chops. In fairness though she never did it for no reason, but whenever Indigo would scare her or start to argue or anything: *BAM*

Indigo'll need some Savlon before this week is out...



After a while it became pretty clear that the two girls were never going to get along, so in the end I just decided to keep them apart as much as possible. Bellamy spent even more time away from home with her friends, and Indigo was no longer invited to join them.



But it's alright, because Indigo has her own bestie now ^_^ This here is Saffron- daughter of Simmersaurus_Rex. Don't they make just an adorable pair?



Ah. Well, they may be bessie mates, but Indigo is still Evil after all.



O_O Humperdink this has to stop!



Ahem. At the weekend it was time for a certain teen scene queen's birthday, so a partay was held at the beach. Well, I say that but it wasn't exactly very partyish- Bells and Humperdink were having a grand olde time dancing away, but sadly all the guests were doing their usual freakout routine >: /



Well, not all the guests. Indigo was hard at work schmoozing the local posh gingernut faction.



When the time came for Bellamy to blow out her candles all the guests were summoned to watch, but as they were all still mid-spaz they decided to just fucking peg it along screaming at the top of their lungs.

It was half-funny, half-terrifying :P



Eventually though, everyone managed to gather in a somewhat nice manner as they celebrated the Birth of the Bell.



Everyone except Saffron that is... *glares*



Come on Bells, let's see if you remain as beautious as you are currently.



Fuck yeah.



After aging into a marvellous Young Adult, Bellamy first went over to local salon to get a job as a stylist.

I'm loving these new careers with Ambitions ^_^



One last night of sleep was had at the olde house before Bellamy called up a taxi so she could move out. I was rather tempted to let her escape the madness on her own, but I'm kind of invested in the rest of the family so Humperdink, Zuma, and Indigo came with. Zion was left behind- it's time for him to get a life yanno?



Anyways, here we are at the lovely new digs- it's one of the pre-made houses in Twinbrook that I redid almost entirely.



It may be a fresh start for the fam but there's still a sense of the olde life going on. I couldn't leave them behind yanno- they may be somewhat creepish but they're amusing, so the gnomes came with.



Isn't this just the cutest thing you've ever seen! ^.^



Yep, an ice sculpture of generation 2 coming right up.



It's so beautiful... *wipes away tear*



With her gorgeous statue completed, Bellamy's attention then turned to other matters of aesthetics as she began her very first makeover on Zion.



Oh... oh how terrible... *sniggers*

Am I crazy, or does this look totally suit him?



After that disaster it was, quite literally, back to the drawing board for Bellamy.



Meanwhile, on the very first night in their new house, the Hearts were treated to a visit by founder Winter, who apparently now has the ability to fly...



Ah, but weird ghost levitation really isn't of any consequence atm compared to other issues...

You know I really thought that maybe these glitches might stop when Bells aged up or moved house, but no, it wont stop and it's really starting to hack me off a bit.



Mostly though as soon as Bellamy leaves the house everything's okay again. With that in mind, Bell took the newly-Young-Adulted Dexter to the salon where she put on an extremely questionable outfit for a stylist and got to work giving him a new look.



Oh, she's good.



Next up came Rachel Rotten.



And finally it was Poppy's turn.



But not all stylistic endeavours were completely successful... Every so often, Bellamy would be blighted by the curse of the really bad makeover, and her clients were not happy...



Even after she fixed him up again, Denver here was not best pleased with Bell. To be honest I don't think it was even about the makeover- he and Bellamy just clashed in a massive way, and they weren't shy about showing it...



You know I'm a bit crap and I haven't actually told you all of Bellamy's traits, but me letting you in on the fact that she's Inappropriate will perhaps explain a lot her actions in the rest of this chapter...

I control a reasonable amount of what my Sims do, but mainly I just like to let freewill do it's magic. Unfortunately though with Sims like Bellamy it can lead to a lot of, well, calling people a llama and the like.



Most of the time the confronted Sims will just take what they're given and go cry about it later, but not Denver. After this slap I learnt that he was Hot Headed. Oops! Not a good match.

In the next few Simmie hours that Denver and Bellamy were together in the salon, the entire time was spent name-calling, arguing, and roughing each other up a bit.

Really, there was only one thing to do to resolve the situation.



Angry sex, oh yah.



-repo intermission-



For the next few days, Bellamy and Denver spent a lot of time together due to their jobs- she being a stylist and he being a tattoo artist. Generally they got on okay...ish. I kept my eye on Bellamy for the most part and ensured she was nice and friendly ;)



Howevers, once again freewill is Bell's own worst enemy. Every time, every time I left them alone I would come back and find Bellamy and Denver yelling at each other or worse. I don't know what's wrong with them, they can't seem to get along for a minute.



Oh, and the glitches didn't help either- like the time when Bellamy was stuck on the couch cuddling the invisible man...



But eventually invisible men and hot angry men were pushed to one side, as Bellamy got a slice of something better...

This nomworthy specimen is Calum Lochlainn and he was made by the very talented Jin-Ah. Oof, isn't he just pretty as a picture?



Ah, slight problem though- like so many before him as soon as he got within inches of the house Calum began to spaz out uncontrollably.

This. Is. Getting. Tedious.

But regardless, Bellamy wasn't about to let that stop her.



Bom chicka wah wah.



And then some.



Elsewhere in the house, flirtations of a more innocent nature were occurring as Indigo worked her magic on hot young toff Tyron Skye (he's actually Jackson's younger brother doncha know).



I think my favourite thing about Tyron is the fact that he's a Snob and he's Mean Spirited, which makes him pretty much perfect for Indigo :P



For the next few days in the world of Sims, Bellamy continued to advance in the stylist profession as she won over more and more clients with her excellent work.



Though some people are clearly beyond help.



As word of her skills grew, Bellamy was often invited round to clients' houses to give them a makeover, which suited her well as she was also able to thieve things whilst she was there (Klepto).



Bell's often appalling decorum when dealing with customers continued when she was once summoned to Tyron's house to give him a new look. Instead of serving his wishes she just said he had the fashion sense of a llama and rejected him, which made me smile quite a bit.



But not all potential clients were abhorrent to Bellamy, in fact some were quite intriguing indeed...



With one foot barely through the door, Mort floored me by immediately beginning to flirt with Bellamy.



Though the excitement was ruined slightly by the massive honking piles of dirty laundry on the floor and the Wolfie drinking milk in the kitchen...



To get away from it all, Bellamy invited Mort out to her old hangout the ampitheatre so they could get to know each other a bit better.



The outcome didn't exactly floor me with it's greatness though. Bellamy kept talking to Mort, and in fact she couldn't keep her eyes off of him, but he barely glanced her way.

Come on Mort, I know you're shy but you've got to give us something!



Hmm. I guess the constant swooning is a good sign at least.



Good luck with this one Bells, I think it's going to be tricky...
