Xenophobia: Pride & Prejudice - Chapter Twenty-four
DemonOfSarila:
Yay for updates! 2woot looks like about the first to read it, or at least about the first to post, but yeah awesome-ness sadie 1pounce The part about Luke is interesting and i think i understand it, maybe, though the fact that Johny can have kids isn't surprising given ur other stories about Chris and Andy and all them, and Ripp sucking his tumb, lol. yay for chapter that ends on a light note, don't worry, the dark ones are good to, but it seems to me like Ripp's reclaiming a little of his sanity.... maybe..... anyway, I liked it and can't wait to see the next chapter :) 1rock ;D
Edit: lol, I'm a dork, *points to difference in time stamps* and I've already posted back. i is a college student, and i'm done with class for the day.... and it's like 1pm here.....
Sam the T-man:
Hehe, thanks ;D About aliens and kids - that's actually what gave me the idea for this one (well, partly, anyway). Chris and Andy got off lightly, in fact, since back then I just threw things in without thinking how it'd all work, whereas here I've been mapping it all out, in such a way that kids will be the last thing on Johnny's mind; he's more worried about the level of pain he'll endure when he comes of age ;) About Ripp, I just couldn't shake that image, and can imagine him doing that given what's going through his mind at the moment. Luke, for some reason (not even been playing him yet!), just clung onto my heart and shows no signs of letting go; I find him endearing in a strange way :)
Which reminds me, thinking back to a few posts/comments by AF lately:
Who here would like me to upload the custom cast (Stephan, Luke, etc.) of this story? Bearing in mind there'll be a few more popping up in part two, but eh, details.. ;)
DemonOfSarila:
Yeah, different levels of planing happen.... just the way things are. What you have going in Xeno at least kinda makes sense to me, and the way they react makes sense. Johny heard you will have PMS and it's gonna suck like 20 fold and be every 2 weeks (yay for googling define:fortnight), Ripp heard kids are possible one day. Or at least that's what they're focusing on, and mostly reacting to. That what it seems like to me, and like I said it makes sense. Most guys wouldn't like to be told they're going to have to deal with that, and like being told they can have kids with someone.
I'm not really sure on my opinion of Luke, but I wouldn't really worry about it.
I also wanted to add how it's interesting to me how Tank kinda has this southern accent, well, some of them do and some of them don't. I live up north myself now (yay college), but I'm from the very top of the south. And when I get tired, sleepy, or sometimes just sick, I get this accent, and it's no southern bell, it's actually kinda like Tank's, only I think mine's worse sometimes. And I've been meaning to say for awhile that ur pictures ROCK, they are amassing. don't know if I've said before, but just in case, am now.
oh and as far as uploading them.... I'm not really one to download whole sims, but I would like to know where you got some of their clothes from, like Johny's and some of Rip's stuff.
Sam the T-man:
Hehe, just like real life in fact; it's alright Ripp looking forward to kids, he doesn't have to go through PMS etc. in the meantime ;) Hmm... that could be amusing >:D
About the accents - I've been writing them how I hear them, so to speak - I do really hear them, the whole thing plays out like a movie. I'm a little torn though, between typing out the accents and just typing how the average person would speak. There've been no complaints here so far, but someone on LJ picked me up on it, so I don't know. And thanks, glad you like my pictures - makes it worth the effort to get the damn things (they drive me nuts sometimes x_x).
Their clothes? Oh boy - erm, all over the place, really! Mostly from MTS2 it has to be said, although GOS and Club Crimsyn are becoming favourites too (and here, of course ;)). Ripp's and Johnny's current clothes were from somewhere on MTS2, but can't remember where.

yeah, besides most guys have this thing with their first child, especially if it's a boy. Don't look at me to understand the whole father son thing. I'm a girl, and my family was almost all girls for years, the only 'guy' being my dad. could be amusing? I confuse easily, but I guess I'll see how things go....
*nods* makes sense to me. and how a 'normal' person sounds just depends on what part of the country you're from, and how your parents talk and things like that (and I understand the play out like a movie thing, I've had that happen... a lot, when I think about characters, work on my book/story thing, or just read a book/story). I mean they call it a southern accent because that's what like everyone sounds like in the right places in the southern parts of the country. Where some of my cousins live (Louisiana), worse than your characters is normal, but up here near Indy (Indianapolis, capital of Indiana), it stands out like sore thumb. But it's not like everyone thinks it's weird. My boyfriend thinks my accent when I'm tired is cute, and he was raised in Indy. Though part of it you can't show though typing, some of it's just like how it sounds, like 'shit' or 'tired'... i don't think I can type how they sound. Something like how Jeffy Foxworhty sounds during those 'redneck definitions' or 'redneck words' or Larry the Cable Guy (try looking on youtube if u've never heard of 'em, though usually my topics are more mature than Larry's...). I don't know precisely though, because it only happens when I'm tired, and when I'm tired my memory doesn't record thing as well as normal. I don't know, just throwin' a examples out there, since I think ur blog says u're from england, and I'm guessing there's not too many people like that there. Not too many hicks running around england last i checked. And it's not just how you pronounce words, part of it is word choice, which I think u've done pretty good with. Though at least to me it doesn't stand out that much, I just sorta noticed it at some point. I think it's nicely done though.
I don't even know how you do some of the stuff in your pictures, some of it I have a good guess, and some it I think I know, but it looks like it must be hard. And they do look great. Honestly I've had some ideas for sim stories, but I'm just like Oh The Pictures! *runs away from them*. Though yours are just beautiful. After the effects to the colors and stuff fit the story at that time SO well, like the picture of Buck crying right after he saw Buzz kicking Ripp, it's just prefect, don't really know how else to say it, just that picture is amassing. And it's only one example, there are tons more.
If it was on mts2, then I can probably find it myself if I look hard enough. I've been here, obviously, and GoS, but I've never heard of Club Crimsyn.
dang, i talk a lot.
Though it does sound kinda weird that Ripp was still having recess when he was at least 13 years old.... but maybe I'm weird. If I remember right (and can count), 13 is upper middle school, anything beyond that is typical high school. Recess is a maybe as is in elementary, and at most goes to 6th grade, which is like 11 years old, give or take. *shurgs* I actually missed it the first time through cuz i was readin so fast, and I thought it said between classes cuz that would make sense. Either at lunch or between classes. But don't let me tell you how to write your story. It is Strangetown after all, they can be outside of normal, well.... are outside of the norm.
oh, and by cubicle you mean bathroom stall, right?
