Xenophobia: Pride & Prejudice - Chapter Twenty-four

[ImpishParody]

Great update hun! That chapter had a lot of emotion in it :-P
The flashbacks were really well done, I love how to take and edit the photos
Can't wait to see what will happen with Tank's newfound skills and the mystery surrounding Lyla!

[Hooligan]

O hay.:rabbit:

SO.  I was on Pandora today....Dropkick Murphy's channel.  And this popped up.  And you know?  The first person I thought of was Tank.  So you should show that to him, I think he might...I dunno.  Don't know if he'd "like" it, but it would speak to him.  And I threw the lyrics on my journal.  If you guys want them.

 How's Ripp doing, by the way?

[Sam the T-man]

@Impish: Thanks! It was meant to be emotional Glad you like the way I handled the flashback More on Lyla in a while, and as for Tank... he has a lot to get out of his system, that's for sure. Who knows what will happen...

@Hooligan: Thanks for that! I did show Tank, moved the poor kid to tears Once he dried his eyes though, he vowed to show that to his father some day... oh, he says thanks for finding the lyrics, by the way Ripp? He's still in hospital at the moment, pretty fed up as you can imagine; you'll see him in a little while

[AxelVal]

Hoolign: Wow, that does remind of the guys in here.  Kind of scary.
Work it into the story, Sadie!  I'm sure you could.    *laugh*

[Sam the T-man]

Aww nooooo!! Damn you woman, you're giving me ideas! :lol: Not the song itself of course, but still... *glances at Tank* Hey, easy tiger, I've still got a few weeks of Uni left

[AxelVal]

That's part of my job.

[Hooligan]

Oh by the way!  I forgot to mention a while back and I only just remembered:  Since it's set in America, keep in mind we have no free health care here--when he gets out of the hospital, *somebody's* gotta get a bill.  And administration doesn't like to let you leave without you paying them something, through insurance or whichever.

Hell, I'm still paying off the bills from when I dropped my bed on my foot.  That was the ugliest, most expensive boot I ever bought. XD

[Sam the T-man]

Ouch, thanks for telling me! Hmm... more research in order, methinks... *walks off thinking*

ETA: One bit of research pulled this up - I'll never complain about charges here ever again! :pale:

[Astral Faery]

Yeah, it's a big fat bummer.  Insurance companies are the bottom feeders of society.  And health care is outrageous.

[Sam the T-man]

Okay... gonna have to do some re-writing... *sigh* Oh well, back to the drawing board... :lol:

[sims2rul3z]

Oh.My.PLUMBOB!I almost died when I read this!How cruel people can be...

[sjam]

Can't wait for an update...awesome as always!

*bribes with cookies*

[Hooligan]

Yeah, there are reasons I'm looking into moving out of the county.  Problem is, I can't find anywhere with a warm climate and enough social freedom.  I've considered both England and Canada, but both of those are kinda cold, and it sucks living with post-nasal drip.

Haha, I feel bad that I inspired a rewrite though. XD  I just know it's one of the things that people from outside this country forget a lot.  And actually, if you want any information beforehand, you can always ask.  I've been here my whole life, so...yeah.  Yankee-picker at your service. :lurk:

[Sam the T-man]

LOL Thanks It wasn't just the bills - in fact that would have been easy enough to slip in as is. It was other things; further research exposed glaring faults in future chapters, and I'm not talking about the bills >_<

[sims2rul3z]

Can't wait for an update...awesome as always!

*bribes with cookies*

I don't think she'll fall for that.A story takes time to write.I should know.It took me over a month to write chapter 1 of the Flower Legacy(at sims2.com).Plus,the house went crappy at the start of chapter 2.But me?I'd need real cookies as a bribe,not virtual ones!(But this smilie seems to like eating virtual,cursor-shaped cookies!:tongue8:And this one's cannabalistic!:yummy:)
