Sorry I have to stories going at once...I'm guilty of multi-tasking lol. After reading a couple of good legacies on here I was inspired to write my own. I have never done one before so we will see how it goes...I am only doing it for fun not points so some of things in the legacy might break the rules lol. I am doing a 50's-70's theme so some of the clothes and furnishings will come from all three eras lol.Chapter 1: Welcome to Bowerville
Hey what's shakin'? My name is Ian Camden and I live in a dusty old town named Bowerville. I inherited this giant dustbowl of a lot when my dad died unexpectedly while trying to make is own legacy. He never made enough money to build a house so he and mom died of heatstroke, leaving me to fend for myself. I was taken in by some nice people until recently. They gave me 20 thousand simoleons and dropped me off at my late father's legacy lot. Not much to look at if you ask me.
Ian's Profile:
Aspiration: Fortune
Personality: Neat 4 Shy 2 Active 5 Playful 5 Niceness 7
LTW: To have 5 successful businesses *thats never going to happen!*
Desired career: Medicine
Boy am I glad I took up construction in high school! In 10 hours I made my own house..looks more like a brick teepee but it will do. I couldn't make it too big since I don't have alot of money to work with. As you can see I decided to search the want ads. Got to make the bacon if ya wanna eat.
This is the inside of my brick teepee
Alright, let's see what we have here...Slacker, nope, Oceansomethingortheother, nope, surfer..hmm...well its not the medical career but it sounds interesting...I will give it a shot. Oh by the way check out my cool radio. Had to have some tunes. Thank goodness it runs on batteries because I ran out of money before I could hook the electricity up.
Look at me boogie woogie! Alright I can't dance for nothing. I look like something between a cat stuck in a hair dryer and a chicken laying an egg. But thats alright though! I'm still jammin.
Hey look I'm John Travolta! (Yea right!) Man I got some moves!
Drat! I guess I don't have it after all....*rubbing behind*
While I was attempting to sharpen my boogie skills this nice honey came walking by my house. Totally random. She had on some future looking outfit like the kind you see on the Twilight Zone (yea I watch that show don't laugh). Maybe she digs that kinda thing. She looks like perfect legacy material...let's see what kinda chick she is first though.
Me: Hey my name is Ian. What's yours?
Her: Lucy. Lucy Spitzig. Nice to meet you too.
Me: I'm new here.
Lucy: Right on! I'm new here too.
Me in my mind: Man she is HOT!
Me: Mind if we chat for a moment?
Lucy: No problem!
She seemed a bit happy about that.
Lucy: I love flowers. Especially white ones. One time, at summer camp, I was holding a flower and a bee came out and stung me in the face!
Me: Wow, that had to hurt.
Lucy: It sure did! My face swelled up like a basketball!
That was a bad visual.
Me: Well your face looks just fine to me (did i just say that? Am I flirting?)
Lucy: Why, thank you Ian. *blushing*
Me: Well, I like flowers too. White is ok, but i prefer purple tulips. Perhaps when I earn enough money I will plant a few.
Lucy: That would be nice. Be careful though. The desert soil is harsh on plants.
Me: I will keep that in mind.
She knows alot about plants. I suppose thats a good thing. maybe if we get hitched she can plant veggies so we don't have to go to the grocery so much. Man am I a sap. We don't even know what our likes are and I am thinking of getting hitched! Well the legacy clock is ticking....
Lucy: The earth is so important!
That was random. Kind of like her walking by. Cool.
Me: Mmmmyea it is.
Lucy: We got to like, take care of it and stuff! Otherwise the earth will evict us!
Yea. I am positive she is a Twilight Zone fan. i think we are going to get along fine. Unfortunately I don't like talking about the earth so much. Makes me feel like a hippie.
Unfortunately my carpool came before I could ask her about her hobbies. I told her to chill out in my house until I got back. I even hinted to make some dinner if she felt like it. I can't cook worth a lick so a woman's touch would be excellent. When I got in the car this creepy looking guy was driving. I hope he's not some serial killer. That would be a bad thing. Definitely. Wait, is that a hand print on the windshield? Oh man I am toast.
Lucy decided to boogie woogie to past the time. Now she has some moves! Better than me by a long shot.
Some neighborhood people came to say hello but I of course was starting my job as a beach bum. No time to socialize sorry! Gotta make that bacon! That chick wearing the quilt dress looks like a hippie. Yea, she's a hippie.
When i got back home from work I earned a grand total of 100 simoleons! Man I'm in the money! (Yea right!) I noticed my trash can was knocked over. I cleaned it up fast. I hope I didn't get any roaches. I am scared of roaches! ick!
As soon as I stepped into my dark house the phone rang. Funny how the phone works even without the electricity. I pick up.
Lucy: Hey you what's shakin?
She stole my bit! How cute! Geez I'm such a nerd.
Me: Well just came in from work. Kinda tired.
Lucy: That's ok. You should get some rest soon. By the way I went to this concert called Eartha-palooza! It was a benefit to raise money to help the earth!
She sure does like the earth huh? I hope she's not a hippie. Can't have a hippie in the legacy. I'm scared of hippies.
Me: Umm, that sounds great. Hope you had fun.
Lucy: Of course!
Lucy and I talked half the night. We got to know each other very well. She loves to cook which is a bonus. I just hope she comes over tomorrow so we can get to know each other even better.
Have you ever taken a bath in the dark? Well this is what its like! I thought I saw something crawl in my bath water, but it could have been a shadow of my own arm..I hope so. I am so glad I had enough money to buy this tub. Otherwise I would have been bathing in the kitchen sink.
Aaaah! Good ole mattress on the floor. I am so tired from being a beach bum, even though its my first day. I fall asleep as soon as I hit the pillows. i dream of Lucy. Is that a sign?
Good morning! Wait, the sun's not up yet. Geez why am I up so early! Oh well time for breakfast...and look what I choose! Cookies! Man I got to learn how to cook. Can't be living off of junk food. If I get fat i am sure Lucy will put m on some kind of earth friendly diet. Hahahaha! I laugh at myself.
I waited until the sun rose before checking the newspaper for want ads. I Can't read in the dark you know! Ok let's see..Pickpocket, nope, Dishwasher, heck no!, some kind of job involving playgrounds..nuh uh. No medical jobs. Oh well, time for my second day as a beach bum.
