GIRL WITH THE SPIKED HAIR: Oh. I guess it wasn’t a creative
pickup line after all.
QND EMPLOYEE: How dare you! What kind of creep are you?!
PONG: Yup, it worked…

2. REBECCA: Pong’s a great guy. He really is. And I love him to
bits. And because I love him to bits, I am never going to ask what
brought that on.

3. ANASTASIA: Aw, snap!

4. Hello, and welcome to 100 Days of Awesome, starring the made-of-
Awesome Tsvirkunov family. They are currently running at six
objectives accomplished for six days of trying, and if some of that
involves the community lot rule, well, that’s perfectly legal.
The 100 Days Challenge was created by Callista over at the old
Boolprop, and the only change I’ve made is to decide that it’s okay
for Sims to go to work or school.

5. ANASTASIA: This is like the easiest challenge ever. (to phone)
Hello?
ANASTASIA: Yeah, I’d like to place an order for delivery, please.
ANASTASIA: I don’t know. What have you got in a Child?

6. ANASTASIA: Awesome. Thanks.
ANASTASIA: Well, now that’s taken care of, I’m going to bed.
Note from esmeiolanthe: Although I made the call less than an hour after
midnight, I was told the child would arrive the next day, on Day 8. I’m pretty
sure the game is programmed this way, and so I’m going to count the point.

7. ABBEY (V.O.): Well, at least she left us a note this time. “I took
care of it. Have a good day.” What was the “it” she took care of? I
don’t see anything different. (sigh) At least it doesn’t seem to have
involved setting the house on fire…

8. ABBEY: I’m harvesting the lemons. I’m going to stock the juicer.
You never know when we might need more orangeade.
ABBEY: I’m a firm believer in being prepared.

9. PONG (V.O.): I’m going to let somebody else do the community
lot thing today. The last time really took it out of me.

10. PONG (V.O.): Besides, Rebecca and I have a special little lady to
spend time with.
PONG (V.O.): Uh-uh. No cameras in the nursery.

11. DESCARTES (V.O.): We have two new parents, one heavily
pregnant woman, one working gamer, and a space pirate who gets
to make his own hours. Guess who gets to go to a community lot
today?

12. DESCARTES (V.O.): It’s not so bad, really. I like going to my
cousin’s place. The Tacky Flamingo -- you know it? It’s got
bowling and free coffee and hot tubs and toilets and everything.

13. DESCARTES (V.O.): And from what I hear, Abbey’s father really
likes the place, so I figured that would be a good place to meet up
with him. And I need to meet up with him for today’s off-site
challenge.

14. DESCARTES (V.O.): I’m supposed to Bite or Savage another Sim.
Seems kind of violent, but hey.
DESCARTES: Did you see that?! Who’s awesome, huh?

15. ABBEY: My father is Count John Tsvirkunov, the vampire. He’d
be, oooooh, two hundred and forty, two hundred and fifty by now,
I guess, but I haven’t heard that he got staked or fried.
ABBEY: Golly, I haven’t seen him since I was sixteen. I wouldn’t
even know how to get hold of him after all these years. (doubtfully)
He might have a phone by now, but it’s not all that likely…

16. DESCARTES (V.O.): It’s not like visiting the Tacky Flamingo is a
hardship. I had a good time.
DESCARTES (V.O.): Okay, except for those three hours when
nobody would move out of the way to let me out of the toilet. I tell
you, I was this close to just crawling under the door and biting
someone on the ankle.

17. DESCARTES (V.O.): But I stayed until well after sunrise, and I
didn’t see him. (grumbles) I don’t see why we have to stay on one
lot the whole time. I could have found him if I went looking.

18. DESCARTES: For all the good that did, I might as well have
stayed home.

19. DESCARTES (V.O.): Although then I would have had to witness
my son-in-law being all soppy. (grumbles) That boy’s too Nice for
his own good.*
*Note from esmeiolanthe: Pong has four Nice points. Descartes has one.

20. REBECCA (V.O.): I answered the phone today, and we have to
have someone become a supernatural creature.

21. ANASTASIA: So that’s what, creatures of the night? Like, um,
vampires and werewolves and bigfeet and stuff? Or do I mean
bigfoots?
PONG: I think it’s one bigfoot, two bigfoot. Like moose. But they
aren’t creatures of the night. I think plantsims count, though, and
zombies and witches.
ANASTASIA: Can we become witches?
PONG: I honestly can’t see how.

22. REBECCA: It’s not that I mind the idea of somebody having to
become a plantsim. I like gardening. I approve of it
wholeheartedly. And I know some plantsims, and they’re -- well,
actually, the whole family has three Nice points between them, but
that’s not the point.

23. REBECCA: I just don’t see why I have to be the one to try to
become a plantsim. I’m still a nursing mother! This can’t be good
for Winnie.

24. DESCARTES (V.O.): Hey, did somebody order a kid?
ANASTASIA (V.O.): I told you I took care of it yesterday.

25. ANASTASIA: Hi! You must be Allyn.
ALLYN TSVIRKUNOV (NEWLY ADOPTED): Uh-huh. Did you
know you’re pregnant?
ANASTASIA: Yeah, I noticed.
ALLYN: And you called for another kid anyway?
ANASTASIA: Sure did.
ALLYN: Cool. Why are there people with cameras here?
ABBEY: Would you like some pancakes?

26. ALLYN: So I’m going to be on TV?
ABBEY: If your new mother says it’s okay. And only if you want
to.
ALLYN: Oh boy! New Mom, can I -- ?
ANASTASIA: Sure, whatever.
ALLYN: Oh boy oh boy! So what do we do on TV?

27. ABBEY: Well, we try to complete a task each day, but we don’t
know what it is until the day of. Today we have to have someone
become a supernatural creature.
ALLYN: Like a ghost? Can I be a ghost? I’ll roll my eyes back like
this (demonstrates) and I’ll be all “ooooh…. oooOOOOoooohh…”
ABBEY: No, no ghosts. Zombies count, but I really don’t think we
want anybody to die…
ALLYN: But can’t you cure them afterwards? You just get a
potion or something. And they drink it and they’re all
“aaaaughaaaarggh” and then they’re normal again.

28. PONG: Anastasia needs to watch the sugar intake on that one. I
don’t mind attempting to do an off-site task until she calms down a
bit.

29. PONG: I know Descartes was just here yesterday, but today’s off-
site task is to get five or more people at a time to do the Smustle.
They have good music here, and we know that Abbey’s father
hangs out here sometimes, so maybe we could even kill two birds
with one stone.

30. REBECCA: You can’t do the Smustle on a community lot unless
there’s a deejay. Everybody knows that. What was he thinking?

31. PONG (V.O.): So we couldn’t Smustle and I didn’t run into
Abbey’s father. But it wasn’t a complete wash. I met the
Matchmaker, and she sold me some potions.

32. MATCHMAKER: No, this one is for vampires. That one is for
plantsims.
PONG: And which one is for zombies?
MATCHMAKER: This one here. And that one is for werewolves.
PONG: Werewolves is this one?
MATCHMAKER: Yes, that one.
PONG: Okay, great.

33. ANASTASIA: He bought cures.

34. PONG: I thought they’d turn you into the things! Haven’t you ever
made a mistake?

35. ANASTASIA (V.O.): So here’s what I’m thinking: if Mr.
Oblivious over there bought cures, maybe I can get a job in
Paranormal. I have a degree, so should be able to start at, like,
Level Forty or something, which means we can just get a bone
phone. Then somebody just, um, goes away for a little while and
we bring ’em back as a zombie. And then we cure ’em.

36. PONG: Did you have anybody in particular in mind to volunteer?
ANASTASIA: Maybe. But since there aren’t any jobs in
Paranormal it’s a moot point. …Is that a peanut butter and banana
sandwich?
PONG: Yes.
ANASTASIA: And I thought I was the pregnant one.

37. ANASTASIA: I never had any weird cravings. Not a one.

38. DESCARTES (V.O): We couldn’t go back to a community lot to
try and meet a vampire, since Pong picked the wrong spot. We
couldn’t get a job in paranormal, so we couldn’t make a zombie.
The garden wasn’t bad enough to need enough spraying to become
a plantsim. Our best bet -- and it wasn’t a very good one -- was to
wait until dark and hope like system crash we could manage a
werewolf.

39. DESCARTES (V.O.): But we kind of got distracted in the evening.
ANASTASIA: Aaaaaaaaaaugh!
ALLYN: New Mom, are you okay?
ANASTASIA: Get this camera out of my faaaaaaaace!
ALLYN: Okay. Um. Hi. Mr. Camera Person?

40. ALLYN: Hi. I’m over here. Listen, I can recite the whole first fit of
The Hunting of the Snark. I’ll show you. (clears throat) “Just the
place for a Snark!” the Bellman cried/As he landed his crew with
care/Supporting each man on the top of the tide/By a finger
entwined in his hair./“Just the place for a Snark! I have said it
twice/That alone --”
ANASTASIA: She really will recite the whole [bleep] thing unless
you go away!

41. PONG: Okay, just one shot. And only because she’s just turned
Toddler. I don’t want my daughter’s face on the screen all the time.

42. ANASTASIA: This is Georgiana. Say “Hi” Georgiana! Say “Hi” to
the nice viewers at home!
GEORGIANA: brrrrpt
ANASTASIA: Was that good? Did you get enough of a closeup?
Do we need to shoot it again?
DESCARTES (V.O.): So we didn’t manage a werewolf either.

43. DESCARTES: But today’s task is really easy! All we have to do is
teach a child to study! Pfffffffft -- I could do that standing on my
head. Well, I could if you gave me one of those mirror thingies, so
I could see the paper even though I was on the floor. Or Abbey
could do it, maybe, because she’s smarter than me. And I don’t
think she’s had enough screen time.

44. ANASTASIA: Hey, we need to talk about our other tasks today.
REBECCA: Oh, are we going to try the off-site rule again?
ANASTASIA: We’re low on points, thanks to a certain someone
going to exactly the wrong place.
PONG: I said I was sorry.
ANASTASIA: Anyway, I called for an assignment, and they gave
me two. They said we had to complete both to get the point.

45. ANASTASIA: Actually, they gave me a lot more than two, but
they either weren’t doable on a community lot or they made no
sense. Where the [bleep] is the Fortress of Eternal Darkness? And
how can we get fired on a community lot if we don’t work there?
Or do anything involving a toddler? Or sew custom clothing? I
can’t sew! I don’t know anybody who can, either. And what the
sysco is a “magic skill” and how do you “max” it?

46. REBECCA: Oh, okay. We can do two. What are they?
ANASTASIA: “Drink Love Potion #8.5” and --
REBECCA: That’s easy. I’ve got like five bottles left from college.
But can you drink it on community lots?
ANASTASIA: Well, if you can’t, we can jump on a couch instead.
-- And the second task is “Get caught cheating.”
PONG: (chokes)

47. REBECCA: What was that, Pong?
PONG: Nothing. Forgot how to swallow for a minute.

48. ANASTASIA: So I’ve got it all worked out: you, I, and Pong will
all go somewhere. Pong can drink the love potion and flirt with me
real quick in front of you and we’re done. It’ll take longer to get
there than it will to get the point.
REBECCA: I don’t like the idea of my husband flirting with my
sister.
ANASTASIA: It’s not like it’s cheating cheating. You’ll be there
the whole time.
REBECCA: But there’s the whole jealousy thing…
ANASTASIA: And how many strawberries did we harvest this last
time?

49. REBECCA: You make an excellent point. Okay, that sounds like a
plan. We’ll get Mom to watch the kids for a bit and knock this right
out. Pong, go get dressed.
PONG: Isn’t anybody going to ask me what I think about this?
REBECCA and ANASTASIA (together): No.

50. REBECCA: So while Pong gets dressed, I’m just stocking the
juicer with all the strawberries I’ve got. That should be enough, but
in case it isn’t, Dad has a good backstock too.

51. REBECCA: Okay, Pong. Here’s the Number 8.5.
PONG: Do I have to do this?
REBECCA: Yes.
PONG: What about your mother? Or father? Or Anastasia? She’s
got lots of boyfriends…
ANASTASIA: I don’t have any boyfriends. I have friends with
benefits and one-night stands. And none of them would give a
[bleep] what I did. Come on, the sooner we get this over with, the
sooner I can take a nap.

52. ANASTASIA: So where are we going again?
REBECCA: I thought Benevolent Grounds.
PONG: Not the coffee shop. Not in front of everybody…
REBECCA: They’ve got couches to jump on in case it turns out
that you can’t drink the love potion.

53. REBECCA (V.O.): So yeah, that wasn’t something we needed to
worry about after all, but the theory was sound.
PONG (mutters): Through the teeth and past the gums -- look out
stomach, here it comes…

54. PONG: So, um, Anastasia. You’re looking really nice today.
ANASTASIA: Thanks. Whenever you’re ready.
PONG: But I just did flirt with you!
ANASTASIA: You call that a flirt? That’s an ordinary
compliment! No wonder you never had any girlfriends before my
sister. Say something about my boobs.
PONG: Er, they’re very -- Uh, wow! You have some rack! Er…
hubba-hubba?
ANASTASIA: Esme, this is painful. Rebecca!

55. REBECCA: Huh?
ANASTASIA: Rebecca, your husband just complimented me on
my rack! Don’t you feel inclined to come over and slap him one?
REBECCA: I missed it. Lipstick on my teeth. Do it again?

56. ANASTASIA: Oh, for the love of -- ! Here, I’ll take care of this.
PONG: Eeeeeek! Bad touch! Bad touch!

57. REBECCA: Pong, you schmuck! How could you let my sister feel
you up?! My sister, Pong!
PONG: Ow…
ANASTASIA: Great, that’s done. Can we go home now? I’m tired
and thirsty and I don’t trust their bathroom.

58. REBECCA: You realize that everything is completely borked now,
right? I’m pissed at my husband, he’s pissed at me, I’m pissed at
you…
ANASTASIA: Oh, I know how to fix that. Pong, say something
nice and romantic to your wife.
PONG: Rebecca, you are my guiding star, the center of my
universe --
REBECCA: I don’t want to hear that!

59. ANASTASIA: And neither do I, you filthy cheater! (slaps Pong
but good) How dare you say something romantic to your wife in
front of me?! (slaps him again) We are through, do you hear me?
Through!
PONG: Why did I ever agree to this…?
ANASTASIA: There, see? All better. Dibs on the strawberry juice!

60. PONG (V.O.): Why do you get dibs?
ANASTASIA (V.O.): Because I’m a nursing mother.
PONG (V.O.): You are not. Georgiana gets bottles.
ANASTASIA (V.O.): Then I’m getting dibs because I’ve got a
mean right hook.
PONG (V.O.): That’s fair.

61. REBECCA (V.O.): I’m really glad there was a hole that needed to
be filled in. Otherwise I might have taken out my aggression in a
less healthy manner. On my husband, say.

62. REBECCA (V.O.): Okay, it’s not his fault, exactly. I made him do
it. But that doesn’t make it hurt any less. I hope to Esme we never
get that task again, because if we do, I don’t think I can handle it.

63. PONG (V.O.): It’s over. And that’s all I’m going to say about that.

64. DESCARTES: So whaddya say, kiddo? Are you ready to learn
how to study?
ALLYN: You bet!

65. DESCARTES (V.O.): Did you see how enthusiastic she was? I’m
not sure that’s natural.
ABBEY (V.O.): There’s nothing wrong with liking to learn. I like
to learn.
DESCARTES (V.O.): But you don’t jump up and down and clap
your hands at the thought of doing homework.
ABBEY (V.O.): Well, no…
DESCARTES (V.O.): And you never did.
ABBEY (V.O.): Well, not as such, no…

66. DESCARTES (VO.): Like I said, I’m not sure that’s natural.
ABBEY (V.O.): But she’ll probably get a lot of scholarships for
college.
DESCARTES (V.O.): That’s true. Always a good thing, when
you’ve got that many to educate.
ALLYN: That’s it?
DESCARTES: That’s it.
ALLYN: Huh. That wasn’t so hard after all. Thanks, Grampa.

67. ANASTASIA: Somehow that was anti-climactic.
