vritra dominic, most boring man in the world, rolls the want to eat cereal every day upon he waking up, so i have been allowing him his dream: to daily contemplate his frosted flakes in his undecorated apartment, all alone.



to assauge his loneliness, he met up with one of the ligea kids in the elevator lobby, where he repeatedly failed to find a workable topic for chatting.

chonsie moss in the background: why is the elevator taking so long?



as far as i can tell, the only topic he has any interest in is "politics," because that's all he ever brings up.

chonsie moss: oh thank god, here it is.



vritra: *scoots forward 2 feet after getting his conversation rejected again*
chonsie: actually i meant to end up on this floor all along.



vritra: and because the tunnel crossed international lines, each side's fire response team assumed it was the problem of the other country, which greatly hampered the rescue efforts. the cars in there basically got fired in a kiln and there were zero survivors.
twin: cool!
chonsie: *calls the elevator again*

(chonsie went into the elevator only to get off on the same floor like 5 times in a row.)

i then decided to figure out what vritra's one true hobby was so that he could have something in his life beyond bothering his neighbors and laying down on the couch (no joke, i had to cancel that action like 10 times).



i had trouble getting electronics placed so he could proc the fitness hobby because "work out" would keep dropping out of the action queue. when i finally found a spot where it would work, it sent him entirely out of his apartment and into the hallway. i was so grateful when he had no interest in fitness and i could finally delete the dang radio LOL



then he rolled a want for a toy-making bench, so i bought him one. he has like 60000 simoleons because he ended up with the combined funds of every other townie in the household he was created in, so he can easily afford it.

the animation for creating the beginner's object of a brick with a face painted on it is so funny. he just stands there whacking a big brick with a hammer until it becomes a smaller brick.



he rolled family primary with popularity secondary, so, despite his abysmal people skills, he kept rolling wants to make friends. his typical fascinations were chonsie (currently dislikes him and also is in a passionate acr romance with another townie), calanthe hedly (involved in another challenge), and parvana ligea from across the hallway, so i figured that i might as well try to get him to friend status with the most available victim...

who of course wasn't home. neither parvana nor his husband have jobs, so i figured they were just somewhere else on the lot. i turned the camera around, and, BAM



there he was, making out and heart-farting with his husband, perun.



parvana: have you ever considered giving up and just adopting?



these two are ATTACHED at the HIP, it is unreal.

vritra: *pretending this isn't happening*



*consoling himself with creating creatures in the spore creature creator*



this guy gets rejected for every social advance, i swear. he's the first sim i've seriously played since putting traits into my game, and getting the doesn't-get-jokes one is not helping him. i'm not used to having to play a guy who can't tell jokes to get past the awkward acquaintance level! the only reliable thing for him is telling stories about mechanics.



eventually he got enough relationships to gossip, for which his first topic was... perun. sure, go ahead, buddy, gossip about the guy's husband to him. you're so good at this.



against all odds, gossiping finally got him to 50, and i internally cheered like, "we got it! finally figured out how to work with this guy! let's see what he wants to do now that he's finally got that one done!" and *roll roll roll* he only wanted to be better friends with parvana.

i see where this is going, buddy. we can try it, but i bet you're going to get caught.



vritra: actually, maybe i should just try adopting.

AUUUUUUUGH

BRO

other obstacles aside, you two have the SAME HAIR. i cannot WORK IN THESE CONDITIONS. but i suppose i will try my best for you.
