2. Welcome to Part Two of
Imprismed, where our
theme is that of color
and the movement from
darkness to full light.
In addition to the
familiar Legacy
Challenge rules, herein
referred to as guidelines,
there are an additional
five rules, mostly
pertaining to color and
its use in the story, that
have been set up. They
are outlined in Part One
if you are interested in
reviewing them.
3. Generation Two is the
black generation and
they have recently
arrived at University.
Obsidian Geebiv, our
heir, and his
unauthorized twin,
Ebony, were both
dropped off by their
father Roy.
According to Rule #5,
Ebony should not be
played, but I wanted her
scholarship money to
build a Greek House so
she has a short reprieve.
4. Their transition outfits
were less than stellar.
Ebony’s might have been
able to hold its own with
the amount of black it
has, but Obsidian
needed a definite
change.
6. Ebony kept a little of the
blue in her skirt, but she
also fared better.
7. The kids got settled into
their dorm rooms, which
were not changed at all
since they are only going
to be in the dorm as
Freshman and their
money will be better
used elsewhere.
8. They discussed getting
out and meeting new
people.
This seems as good a time as
any to review stats.
Obsidian:
2/9/2//6/7 Libra
Family / Popularity
LTW: Education Minister
OTH: Arts & Crafts
T-O/O: Jewelry-
Creativity/Strength
Ebony:
2/8/2/6/7 Libra
Popularity / Knowledge
LTW: Rock God
OTH: Arts & Crafts
T-O/O: Glasses-
Mechanical/Red Hair
9. Obsidian wasn’t too
keen on the idea. His
teen girlfriend, Demi
Howe, had also enrolled
at Sim State and was in
the dorm down the road.
She had arrived along
with their friends Jack
Wolesko and Meredith
Chan.
10. They also took some
time to show off their
dance skills. Of which
they have none.
11. To be fair, they grew up
without a stereo at
home, so the dorm really
was their first
opportunity to rock out.
12. It wasn’t long before
Obsidian invited Demi
over so they could get
reacquainted.
14. Though there were
others in the dorm who
found Obsidian
attractive, including
Melissa Jayapalan here,
15. and Jordan Cormier
here, who both have two
bolts with him, just like
Demi.
I would love it if he fell
for Jordan because she
has a different face
template and green eyes,
but I’m not so fond of
the black hair so early in
the family line, so we’ll
stay hands off and see
who he chooses.
16. Ebony had also found
someone. She decided
to give Audrey Shibata a
makeover in the hopes
of increasing their one
bolt of attraction.
17. While the addition of
glasses made both of
them happy, it didn’t do
Jack Diddley for their
boltage. But, Ebony
hasn’t shown interest in
anyone else, female or
male, so again, with a
hands off policy we’ll
leave her to decide what
to do about it.
18. With that, the end of
first semester rolled
around. Both twins
finished with an A+ and
$1200 to add to their
Greek House funds.
19. Obsidian started the
new semester with a visit
to Demi, where they
couldn’t leave each other
alone. *eyeroll*
21. Turns out his blog and
chat session were more
interesting at the
moment and she was
dutifully ignored as he
tapped away at the keys.
Not unlike my husband
and son feel on a regular
basis, I’m sure.
22. Taking matters into her
own hands, she started
to chat up one of her
dorm mates, which
Obsidian finally took
notice of and did not
appreciate.
I’m not sure if Demi ever
thanked the poor schlep
for being relationship
restoration fodder. She
accomplished her
mission though.
23. Still suffering from one
bolt attraction, Ebony
cornered Audrey and
put the moves on her.
Notice how sharp and
clear and red the swirly
hearts are? The sharp,
clear, red ones indicate…
24. …REJECTION! In which
case they turn purple
and bruised looking.
Even the video game was
all ONTD! that Ebony
was shot down.
It was heart breaking for
her, and she cried later,
but I didn’t bother with
pictures, because , well,
Rule #5 and all.
25. In the meantime,
Obsidian was exploring
other options for
relationships. Not that
it was encouraged, but it
wasn’t discouraged
either. After all, he’s
only a Freshman. He
needs to be sure of what
he wants.
26. Things are not looking
too good for total
dedication to Demi at
this point. The only
thing she has in her
favor though is that his
explorations seem to be
held in secret at the back
side of the dorm.
27. Before we knew it, the
semester was over again.
Freshman year finished,
it was time to look for a
good plot for the Greek
House.
28. He and Ebony packed up
the few items they had
accumulated, said their
goodbyes and moved on.
29. To an empty plot near
the park and down the
street from the other
Fraternities and
Sororities.
Ebony seems to think it’s
a good thing Obsidian
has so many friends so
their Greek House will
be “teh awesome!”
30. And as she finished her
congratulations,
Kaleidoscope House was
built. Well, what they
could afford was built
anyway. It will
eventually have windows
but they have to finish
the semester and get
their grants first.
31. The biggest, most
important addition to
the Greek House were
two double beds.
Demented purple hearts
were flying everywhere.
32. I was a little pleased to
see that despite
Obsidian’s minor
dalliances, he chose
Demi to christen his
bed.
33. The next order of
business was a toga
party, where no one
showed up in a toga,
under aged friends were
invited, and Obsidian
decided to forgo the
lines to the bathroom
and take a sponge bath
at the open floor plan
kitchen sink.
It was a good party
anyway.
34. By the end of the
semester they were able
to afford wall coverings.
As you can see, dancing
skills improved.
But the real reason for
this shot is to show you
some of the simple
layout of the house.
Obsidian is dancing in
the great room, basically
in the kitchen. The
doors lead to bedrooms.
37. The other side of the
room leads to
bathrooms.
Next semester grant, one
will hold toilets and the
other showers. Right
now there’s only one of
each in one of the
rooms. We’re hoping to
prevent bathroom
mothing during toga
parties.
All the interior doors are
glass because they were
the cheapest black ones
in my catalogue.
Pretend they are not see
through like the good
sims do.
38. We’ve also added a letter
to our Greek House
representing the charter.
Actually, Ebony went out
an got it somewhere. I
don’t ask, she doesn’t
tell.
39. Demi has remained
Obsidian’s one even
though he has flirted
with a few others and
kissed a few more. I
think they’ll last, so next
time they roll
engagement wants, I’ll
likely fulfill them.
They’re both Juniors
already, so it’s time.
40. Oh crap! They’re
Juniors. Better get those
portraits painted for the
house. Also need to
check our pledges and
see who we can move in
Senior year.
42. University isn’t my
favorite EP and I dislike
playing it. It’s too long.
In fact, I use the College
Adjuster to speed it up a
bit.
One of the things that
really drives me crazy is
the “Visit Campus”
action . It’s nice that
they can get food for
themselves, but it
usually ends up with
uneaten pizza
everywhere. Then it
turns green.
43. The second thing that
drives me crazy are the
cows. Luckily, there is a
hack for that and I use it
liberally.
44. The semesters
progressed. Obsidian
and Ebony studied,
invited people to pledge,
held parties, influenced
pledges to clean up and
write their term papers,
and kept their fun and
social levels in check
with a game of red
hands.
I should explain my
speed method. Students
have to gain any skill
points needed, attend
class once, and write
their term paper, then I
set hours to final exam
to 2.
45. Final decisions on the
placeholder were
narrowed down to Julie
Carr, the cheerleader,
and Melissa Jayapalan,
Obsidian’s College-Ho-
on-the-side.
He has two bolts with
both of them and is also
at crush status with
both. Moving one in
will be a last minute
thing out of necessity.
47. A cow was convinced to
leave the premises and
forever stay away.
48. A final toga party was
held where no one came
in togas again and
Obsidian and his love,
Demi escaped outdoors
for some one on one
time.
49. They’re so cute together,
and I find it quite
appropriate that both of
them have an outfit in
their inventory
representative of the
coming generation. It
must be fate.
50. When fate calls, I try to
answer, so Obsidian
dropped on his knee and
popped the age old
question.
51. Demi said yes, of course.
They are so freakin’ cute
together!
52. The next day, Obsidian
finished his final final
exam.
54. Ebony had graduated
too, but…Rule #5.
Julie was invited to move
in and accepted quite
readily. I think she and
her two bolts had high
hopes of some friends
with benefits action.
56. Wardrobe malfunctions
fixed, we took a great
risk and had Obsidian
repair the family
computer. He had the
most mechanical points
and it was a pretty safe
bet that if Roy or Uma
tried they would have
fried.
57. Crisis averted, the
computer was up and
ready for his first job
search.
He wants to become
Minister of Education
but it wasn’t listed.
58. His next task was to
invite Demi over, who
showed up in her
transition towel. O.o
60. Uma was still too upset
over the burglar to
notice when she was
introduced.
Shortly thereafter,
Obsidian invited her to
move in and wedding
plans were made for the
next day. We don’t waste
time here in Spectrum.
Demi’s stats:
5/5/3/8/4 Taurus
Fortune / (not chosen)
LTW: City Planner
OTH: Games
TO/O: Black hair – Hard
Worker / Grey hair
61. The guests were invited.
You’ll notice both Julie
and Melissa are there.
Recipe for disaster #3:
1. Set ACR to spouse
only and assume all
will be well.
2. Invite former College
Ho’s to wedding
hoping to wreck
crushes with them.
(recipe to be
continued…)
On to the wedding.
64. Though Julie did find
time to clap for the
happy couple, while
Melissa chatted up the
father of the groom.
Notice she is wearing
black. This should have
been sufficient warning
that all would not be
well in the future.
65. These guys are still
freakin’ adorable
though, especially if you
ignore the glitchy arm
trying to remove
Obsidian’s liver.
66. The wedding party was a
great success, as you can
see here after the
wedded woohoo bliss.
Did Bon Voyage take
away the limo
honeymoon? The limo
never came for them
even though it was a roof
raiser.
68. She came back to kick
over the trash can.
Luckily, Roy was still
awake, cleaning up from
the wedding and roaches
were avoided.
69. Julie was not pleased
either. I guess clapping
for the happy couple was
just an act on her part.
70. She came by the next
morning and stole the
paper.
71. Between the two of
them, it got bad enough
that I moved the trash
can behind a locked gate
so the family would stop
getting roaches.
Roy and Uma approved.
72. Speaking of Roy and
Uma, they’re still
awesome. They’re all
autonomous with each
other and it’s so cute.
I played with the
lighting in the garden
while they were out
there dancing and really
love how this picture
came out.
73. Wedded woohoo paid
off and Generation
Three let it be known
that it was on the way.
Demi looks surprised
that she is pregnant, but
I think she’s more
surprised that it
happened so quickly
because she was hoping
for some quick job
promotions first.
Fortune sim.
74. Obsidian took it all in
stride and showed his
messy side by lipping it
from the milk carton
even though he has eight
cooking points and
could make himself
whatever he wanted to
eat.
Of course, he didn’t
know the Recipe for
Disaster #3…
75. 3. Happily monitor
other members of
the household and
fail to notice College
Ho let her self in.
4. Hear the evil “fall
out of love” BOING!
and quickly pause
game to find out
what the heck just
happened.
5. Notice heir being
yelled at by spouse
while College Ho
turns back on entire
situation.
76. 6. Check College Ho
and notice her
expression says, “if I
can’t have him, NO
ONE WILL!”
7. Observe helplessly
as spouse slaps heir
silly and relationship
scores tank. Yes,
there are flames of
hatred in Demi’s
panel for both
Obsidian and
Melissa.
77. 8. Sit back in stunned
amazement as
beloved heir
autonomously
apologizes to College
Ho with his big
gaping maw smiling.
78. 9. Continue speechless
amazement as he
leaps into her arms
for comfort.
10. Gigglesnort as it
looks like he nearly
knocks her over in
his exuberance.
79. 11. Gigglesnort some
more as College Ho
refuses a higher level
flirt from stupid,
misguided heir.
80. Uma was so distracted
by what was occurring
inside the house that she
didn’t even show us the
doo hickey when she
topped her career.
Not really, I was so
stunned that I missed
capturing it.
81. Eventually, Obsidian
realized the
ramifications of what he
had done. The family
left him alone to
contemplate. Also,
Demi wouldn’t allow
him in their bed and
since she was pregnant
and had done nothing
wrong, she got
preference.
I still have no idea what
actually started the
whole episode. I assume
it was some kind of ACR
flirt, perhaps a kiss.
Memory panels showed
me nothing more than
“cheated on Demi with
Melissa”.
82. In the midst of the
awkward silences that
permeated the house
when everyone was
together, Ebony stopped
by. She spent a lot of
time involved in the
programs on television,
all the while with a
somewhat sad look in
her eye.
83. With generation three on the way, due to be born
that night, it was time for some remodeling. Per
Rule #2 a room had to be added in their color. I
added an entire floor. There is a new nursery in
the upper left corner, a great room currently
holding exercise equipment and career rewards,
and Obsidian and Demi’s master bedroom with
en suite bath. There’s also a double staircase
leading to the ground floor.
The downstairs also
needed a bit of
rearranging. Obsidian
and Demi’s old room
became the music room
and the living room was
moved around to
accommodate the stairs.
84. I also changed the outside of the house
because red brick is much nicer than
black siding.
The back has a small
porch as well where the
chess table was moved.
The small garden is in
the back corner of the
yard.
90. Meet Scarlett Geebiv,
Generation Three heir.
Her color is red, so her
red hair is fitting. I’m
still confused about the
eyes. Her mother’s are
light blue and her
fathers are either the
same or gray. They’re
too close for me to call.
Because I fail. I’m pretty
sure that Scarlett has her
grandfather’s gray eyes
though.
91. This picture is here
purely to show that the
Geebivs are keeping up
appearances for the
outside world. That
loving family portrait
with Demi, Obsidian
and Scarlett? It’s a lie.
92. But, life goes on.
Obsidian is a good
father, autonomously
interacting with Scarlett
and taking pretty good
care of her.
Scarlett sends him
telepathic messages and
lets him know that he
better make things all
right by the time she
grows up and is even
more aware of what is
going on between her
parents.
94. Though Melissa was
ballsy enough to use the
bathroom attached to
Demi and Obsidian’s
bedroom rather than
one of the two that are
downstairs and more
easily accessible.
95. She’s also wormed her
way deeper into the
household by staking a
place on Roy’s friends
list. Poor man, he
doesn’t realize what she’s
done to his son and
daughter-in-law. He’s
still looking for 20
besties.
96. Uma loves Demi though.
They’re great friends.
She even goes so far to
congratulate Demi on
marrying her son.
97. Demi informs her of
what a jerk her son has
been recently.
Uma is shocked.
Shocked, I say!
102. Obsidian is worried. He
should have thought
about his FAMILY
before, then he wouldn’t
be in this predicament.
103. He likes to sing the blues
when it gets to be too
much.
Roy accompanies him
when he’s able to.
104. He takes any
opportunities he can to
talk about the rough
road they’re on and is
slowly making progress.
105. He even rolled the want
to study couples
counseling, thinking it
would help them out.
106. It raised their scores
high enough to answer
their ACR timers when
they went off.
Obsidian fell back in
love. Demi still needs
time. There are no more
flames, but her scores
with him are only
slightly above zero.
107. Relationship on the
mend, it was time for
Scarlett to transition to a
toddler. A small party
was held, with Julie and
Melissa notably absent.
108. And the cake glitched
when Obsidian decided
he just had to have a
piece.
109. All was well though with
the quick purchase of
another cake and a twirl
and sparkle in the air.
Scarlett is a Libra, like
her Daddy and Auntie
with a 2/9/2/10/9 point
spread.
With that, I believe we’ll
leave the Geebiv’s alone
for a bit. We’ll be back
with Part 2.2 in a bit
where Scarlett will get
her makeover and we’ll
find out if Obsidian and
Demi have been able to
reconcile their marriage.
