DOARS- Week 6 Day 6- SnowMan

Welcome back! It's been a while, how you been? I'm mostly unpacked and getting settled in, so we're doing great over here!

Last time on the DOARS the ambassador ran away from Lynn, Hector stayed aloof, and we learned that Cycl0n3 met someone who is most likely an alien at a grocery store a while back and is learning military tactics as a result. Confused about where we're going? Me, too! Lol, just kidding... or maybe I want you to think I'm kidding. Heh heh, no really, I'm kidding... or am I? Okay, that could go on forever, let's just get onto the next day, huh?

~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt from Hector's Diary
~~~~~~~~~






















My mother was learning too much. Now, I go back and forth on how much I want her to know. Sometimes, or a lot of times I wish she knew everything, but there are other moments when I'm infinitely grateful that she doesn't. I mean, let's face it, my mother is wonderful (usually) but not terribly stable, and I'm pretty sure that this intergalactic war could push her over the edge if she had all the details. I mean, how would you react if you found out that   the very planet you lived on had been on a thousand year mission to eradicate life in the universe?

So, I'm sure you can imagine how terribly it would be for a mentally unstable woman to learn that truth. But, then again, she's my mother and it would make things much easier to have her support right now, or really any support right now.

Anyways, we've digressed. Due to the information that my mother was piecing together and, of course, the arrival of the ambassador, it was time for another meeting with Zhiddezoe to find out how to proceed.






















She seemed to take in the bitterly cold surroundings with a bit of pleasure as she approached. It was... creepy. Well, of course I would think so anyway, this was the first winter that I'd ever experienced and the cold weather was far from my preference. At any rate, Zhiddezoe was a little too into the cold, and it did make me think that there were some things that even I was not aware of.

When I asked what the next move was, she told me that I needed to keep researching potions, keep my mouth shut, and be patient for the arrival of a helper. Now I must admit that she had mentioned this helper before, and I had been fairly certain it was the ambassador, but obviously that was not the case, as this helper was still to arrive at some future date.

On the subject of the ambassador, I know you've been wondering about his role in all of this. Even I'm a bit foggy on that, I've communicated with him a few times, but never about anything of importance. I believe that he's mainly observing at this point. He stays in the shadows, out of sight, and I suppose he that aside from simply observing he is also waiting.

We're all waiting.

I woke up that morning feeling much refreshed after yesterday, it was nice. Not to mention that I had a great view of my still very handsome husband. Will I ever get tired of seeing him shirtless?























Well, my son must be stressed about something. I've decided that the boys of the family only break the toilets when they're stressed. And I don't think I really need to go into any detail about what's stressing him, I'm pretty sure that's obvious. And, well, of course, I couldn't go into detail even if I wanted to!























But, I'm being patient, also I'm being more active in this scheme of whatever it is. My husband is working on military strategy, so why can't I? It's a great way to spend time with him and feel useful to the cause, whatever the cause may be, so all in all, it's a good decision. Chess all around! Or at least for me and Cycl0n3.























Now I know what you're thinking, you've got the ambassador already, what are you doing laundry for? Well, ambassador or no, the gnomes still have dirty laundry and I am their launder, of course! Tut tut, being so silly about laundry. Oh, right, hahahha, and of course we sims have laundry needs, too! Can't send my kids off to school in dirty clothes, now can I? Even though today is Saturday... and... well, anyways, stop with the third degree! I'm getting flustered! I tell ya... can never get a break around here...























What was that about never getting a break? I was wrong. My wonderful husband made breakfast. It was his usual pancakes, but I enjoyed them none-the-less.























After breakfast I confronted the spider web covered boy in the next room, also known as my son, Hector. Hrm... now that I think about it, Cycl0n3 and I ought to have named him H3ct0r. What a wasted opportunity! I digress, I confronted him about the intergalactic war, which is what I'm fairly convinced it is.






















At first he laughed, as if I'd ever believe that there wasn't such a thing going on! I feel down right underestimated! When I insisted, and he could see that he clearly wasn't fooling me, he told me that he had to keep quiet about it, but the only thing he could say was that the entire universe was holding its breath and for what he honestly didn't know, but it was going to be big... or small... but significant... or insignificant... or maybe just important... or maybe not important.
It was at that point that I realized that I'm not the only confused one around here. No one really knows what's going on. So, while H3ct0r still has information that I do not, I'm going to stop obsessing over it, because, I mean, face it, it's not really doing him much good, now is it?























The husband, whose sanity I am now questioning, was out squishing fruit... in the snow... in nothing but a flimsy pair of shorts... and my daughter was heading in for a late breakfast after making a snowman army, so I decided to seize the moment and offer to teach H3ct0r how to drive. He was getting to be a pretty big boy now, so it was time.






















Of course, his opinion was that I had waited for far too long and for definitely the wrong day to stat this training, but y'know, stuff happens. Timing's never really been my thing, I'm sure you've noticed.























While I spent most of the day with my less than good son, Raquel spent the day being productive and alone. Poor thing, I know she loves the cold, but still, just thinking about how much time she spends outside makes me shiver. I wonder if she found something good up there in the daytime sky.























She kept up with her snowmen into well into the evening. I should have sent her to bed earlier than I did, but I just couldn't. She's my little girl and she looked so happy and in the zone making those creepy snowmen. Besides, tomorrow is Sunday and she can sleep in.






Wondering how my husband spent the rest of his day,

Lynn Sw0rd

Big revelations all blacked out earlier, huh? Well, have no fear it will all be clear soon... or not... lol, I'm not really sure how epic to take this story line, or if I should give it an anticlimactic arc... I guess we'll see. I mean, I have both storylines in my head and I'm pretty equally in love with them. Lol! Well, take a page out of Lynn's book and be patient, I guess!

  1. Glad to hear that you're getting all settled in the new place!

    I can't decide whether Hector is being sweet to his mom by shielding her from the mind-bending truth or if he's being mean by thinking she's so fragile. I'm glad that both Lynn and Hector have decided to just go with the flow for now. I feel like Raquel knows more than either of them is aware.

    H3ct0r? I like it!

    1. What Raquel does or does not know is up in the air. She may know more than we all expect... :) Or not, who knows?

  2. Ha! It's good to have the Sw0rds back! I hope you like your new real life place.

    I loved Lyn's revelation that Hector didn't know that much more than she did. Waiting for the big reveal! If you want a vote, I'd kind of vote for epic, but I'm sure whatever you do will be plenty amusing.

    1. I LOVE the new house, really, it's perfect for our family. :) Finally I've got some real space!
      Yeah, the thing that has me shying away from epic is that I'm still just takin' pics of their every day life. I don't really want to stage stuff too much. I mean, yes, I did stage the gnome army that one time, but that was just because I wanted to see all the new gnomes from Seasons and SN. So, it may be epic in text, but in the pix it's probably going to be quite anticlimactic. But y'know, I think that'll be fun, too. It's sims after all... Anyways, I'm just gonna quit here before I reveal anything.... :D

    1. Oh good grief. That's was clearly too clever for me. I just highlighted it. Wow -- that does make things very epic.

    2. :) I thought it was a nice little hidden spoiler for people. Of course, it's not really hidden anymore...
