Globoco Asylum (an Asylum Challenge) COMPLETE

[Kate]

Hehehe thanks for your lovely comments guys - I'll reply to you all individually in a sec - although I can't promise every update will be as good as that! Am really struggling to think a story-line up for Selma & Gill - I have a potential one in the works - so don't get your hopes up!

Katie: Hehe thanks, that's really nice to know! Are the flags pretty purple ones with big 'K''s on?

I love Austen's ID too! I modeled it off of one I found on Google Images - thank heavens for Google Images - as I have no idea what a Private Investigator's ID is supposed to look like! I'm also glad that this is entirely fiction and not real... can't say I'd like to have Greg Payne from the 'Hip Kidz' law firm defending me in real life!

Dizzy: Thank ya I was a bit worried about that eye opening thing as I realised that it might look like I only have one eye??! I tried to put a black shade down the middle but then it just looked odd... so I thought I best stick with the one eye thing

"In plumb-bob we trust" was just a spur of the minute thing... thought it was cool, hehe.

I can't remember where I got my custom, better-looking pollination technicians from - think it was MTS2 - but they are an especially helpful addition if you like your male Sims to have Alien babies ;D

Shell: Thanks! I'm glad I helped improve your day

And double thanks! I'll have to try to come up with some more creative Photoshopping for next update, hehe.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Before I post this long ass comment, I just wanted to say that at some point this week I'm getting a new computer, so the next update may look a little different, graphics-wise??! My graphics were pretty decent in the first place so I can't see how much they can improve.

Oh and if anyone has any story-line ideas, I'm open to them ;D

[Kate]

Hi everyone!

Just a quick update from me today.

Sitting in my mailbox this morning was a letter from Austen! He’d written to let me know that George had given birth to a perfectly healthy baby boy! Isn’t that wonderful?

All of the family – Austen, George, Davis and new addition Walter – are doing well, although Austen insists that I mustn’t make another uninvited visit because there are “nappies everywhere”!

Austen even included a Polaroid of Walter in the envelope! Look how big he is!

Meet Walter Fooney:

The little cutie obviously inherited his daddy’s hair

Well, that’s me over and out for tonight!

Kate

[Kae]

Aww... thank god for hacks that allow you to have aliens that don't have no lips and a pig nose... lol
I also have to say that your default alien skin is nice, Kate.

[Dizzy]

Awwww... adorable!!!

Hey kate.. did you say you made yer own replacement alien pol..something or other?? Or are they from somewhere?

I downloaded some off MTS that looked okay... but after getting them in my game and really examining they they are just as odd (like no nose and pointed ears and stuff) as the original ones.

[Piñacolada]

Awwww Kate thanks so much for the update! Walter is a cutie!! A little red-headed alien!! Hehe. Love the name too

[Kate]

Thank-you Kae, I do love my alien default

Yes Diz I downloaded my replacement Pollination Technicians from MTS2 I think... although it was such a long time ago that I'm not sure if I have replaced them since then. I can send you the .package file of mine if you want

What you can't see (unfortunately) because Austen's arm is obscuring the shot is that Walter has inherited elf-ears from his alien-mummy/daddy! He's going to be simply adorable when he grows up, I think I may have to play them all a lot and grow him up

Hey I thought it was about time I updated Katie, hehe. I've got Gill & Selma's update in the pipeline, I'm going to aim to get that up sooner (rather than later).

I couldn't believe it when George popped out a little red-haired alien! It was a total "OMG" moment! You don't see many red-haired alien babies

I thought the name Walter just went with them... I was trawling my baby names website for ages to find one that would fit with their family, and then I stumbled upon Walter!

[Kate]

I was going to warn you all that this is image heavy… but I think I’ve warned you all enough times now

Oh, and apologise for the change in graphics in some of this pictures… some were taken on my old computer, the rest on my new one. Although I keep looking at my old graphics and thinking: “OMG WHY ARE THEY BETTER THAN WHAT I HAVE NOW?” Let me tell you kiddies – it’s all in the editing.

Globoco’s WATN?: Gill & Selma
(WATN = Where Are They Now)

Howdy, photographer. Are you ready for another thrilling day taking photographs of the ex-Globoco patients?

…I thought as much.

…Yes, it does look like a nice house! Obviously both Gill and Selma have done quite well for themselves! Well, ok, either that or they got a hefty cheque from the Bank of Simerica to reimburse them for time lost whilst staying in the Globoco Asylum.

…What do you mean *I* should have been the one to do that? SHUT UP. ONE OF THESE DAYS I WILL FIRE YOU.

Now come on, lets go ring the doorbell.



(Mumbling) Yes, we’ll get to the front door eventually… after this slowpoke moves his ass…

Mail boy: HEY!

Me: (Blushes) Oops, sorry, my bad.

Mind the puddle, photographer. Mind the puddle.



(Insert ringing the doorbell here)

…Hello?! Do we get any sound effects?!

…NO??

…AM I ACTUALLY SPEAKING TO ANYONE HERE??!

DING DONG

Thank you. It was very delayed, but thank you.



Selma: Hi, can I– oh my god!

Me: Hi there Selma!

Selma: It’s you! The girl who brought me and Gill together in the Globoco Asylum!

Me: Uhhhh, yes I guess so.

Selma: (Looks at photographer) And who is this?

Me: My photographer. Please don’t acknowledge him, it’ll make him happy. I don’t like it when he’s happy.

Selma: Oh, ok then. Well don’t just stand there, come in!



(Follows. The animals went by two by two, hoorah! Hoorah!)

(Mumbling) Wow, I feel as if I belong. What a contrast to when we went to visit Derek. I felt as if I was dead then.

…Did I ask for your opinion? No.



Selma: Honey, you told me someone was coming to visit, but you never said it was the girl!

Gill: (Looking up from his book) Huh??

Selma: You know, the girl! The one that brought us together!

Gill: OH!



Gill: Hello there!

Me: Howdy.

Gill: Excuse my attire, I’ve only just gotten up. I blame the late shift at work.

Selma: Honey, why don’t you go and get some everyday clothes on? I can entertain her for a little while.

Gill: Are you sure?

Selma: Yes! Go, it’s rude.



(Gill exits)

(Mumbling) Hmm, she’s sitting down a bit oddly there…

Me: Selma, sorry to be abrupt, but are you pregnant?



Selma: Why, yes I am! Thanks for noticing.

Me: Uhhh… ok… congratulations! You’re the second expectant household I’ve visited; Austen and George have just welcomed a new addition.

Selma: Oh yes, baby Walter? We’ve been to visit.

Me: I’m presuming that the little girl you had in your arms earlier is also yours…?

Selma: Yes! That’s Winona. Go say hello, she’s just beginning to start talking. Although it’s mostly garbled.



Me: Hi there, Winona!

Winona: Ewo!

Me: Awww! She’s such a cutie. She looks a lot like you, except that she’s got Gill’s eyes!

Selma: Thanks.



Selma: Would you like a tour of the house whilst you’re here?

Me: Oh, yes! That would be lovely, thanks. But are you ok to…?

Selma: I’ll get Gill to take you round. (Shouting) HONEY!

Gill: …Yes, Sel?



Selma: Would you be a darling and take them on a tour of the house?

Gill: Sure thing.



Gill: We might as well start in the master bedroom, seeing as this is where I am standing… so here you are, the bedroom.



Gill: Then we have our dining area…



Gill: The living room…

Me: Oh, where has Selma gone?

Gill: She’s probably popped off to the toilet. This pregnancy is wreaking havoc on her bladder, even more so than the last one!



Gill: This is the kitchen…



Gill: The main bathroom…



Me: Oh! This is a nice room.

Gill: Yes, this is the nursery. We went for a nautical theme to match the bathroom. I’ll take you upstairs now.



Gill: This is the landing. Sometimes it’s nice to come up here and relax, we’ve got a lovely view out of the window.

(Nudges photographer) No they haven’t. It’s empty.



Gill: …And finally, this is the spare bedroom. Jolalian often comes to stay with us.

Me: Ah, the boys! How are they both?

Gill: We see more of Jolalian than we do Ville. We don’t really know what Ville is up to… but what we do know is that they’ve both recently graduated from University. According to Jo, they’re living together in an apartment for now – you should pay them a visit!

Me: Perhaps I will.

Gill: I think they’d really–

Selma: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHH!!

Gill: Oh damn it… Selma! Quick, we better get downstairs.



Selma: IT HURRRRRRRTS.

Me: Oh shit.

Gill: Honey, oh god! Are you alright?

Selma: DO I LOOK ALRIGHT?! THE BABY IS COMING.

Me: I feel nauseous.



Selma: ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHH!!

(Mumbling to photographer) Nice shot. That would make you worthy of a promotion if I were the kind of person to promote people. But I’m not.



Me: …Wha??! Holy smokes, where did that baby come from? I look away for one damn minute…



Me: …But aww! A beautiful baby boy!



Me: Congratulations Selma, Gill! Have you got a name?

Selma: I was thinking–

Gill: (Interrupting) –Firdos.

Me: …I’m sorry, what?! What does that mean?

Gill: “Paradise”.

Selma: Honey, you said I could name him. Don’t you remember? You promised me at the last scan.

Gill: Sorry, Sel, but I can’t have you calling him something dull like ‘Winona’.

Me: Uh oh… I think this is my cue to leave…

Selma: Yes. Yes, I think it is.



Selma: Thanks for coming to visit!

Me: Good luck with baby Firdos…

Selma: I already hate that name.

Gill: Bye! (Turns to Selma) Look, honey–

Winona: Bi bi!!

This update is lovingly dedicated to Hatbox the dog, who sadly left us during the course of the update.

Next up on Globoco’s WATN?:
Jolalian ‘Jo’ Tate and Ville Tate

[Piñacolada]

Yayyy update!!

I didn't notice the change in graphics, your pics are as amazing as ever Kate! Love that we got to catch up with Selma and Gill Selma sure is a baby machine!! Nice that they had a girl though, Winona is adorable! The new baby looks like its gonna be a cutie too, with the dark skin and the really light blue eyes. Though am not too sure about the name

I have to say as well, their house is lovely Kate, you've done a really nice job on the decorating!

Sad to see the doggy died though Booo Grimmie!!

Can't wait to catch up with Jo and Ville!

[Shell]

Your chapters never fail to make me giggle Kate, it was funny!
Esp the part when she is having the baby and the comments of " Me: Oh Shit" LOL got the feeling you didnt know where to look LMAO.
Love the picture taking to, like you WERE really there knocking on the door and we were a fly on your shoulder LOL

[Kae]

Bwahahaha, Kates just have skillz.
It was lovely, darling... though somewhat awkward. But not nearly as awkward as the other one. That one was all... waaaayyyy out there. Sad that the dog died. I'm always so attached to my sims, except the ugly ones. Those ones are easy to get rid of. But anyways, doesn't look like they're gonna have ugly kids.

[Kate]

Ehehehe yes Katie, Selma is quite the baby machine... didn't intentionally mean for that to happen, but all of the Globoco ex-patients (or those of whom they are now related to) seem to be popping out sprogs!

I'm not sure about the name either But whatever Gill wants, Gill usually gets... or at least now he's out of the Globoco Asylum he does

Shell that was totally what I was trying to do with this update! Make it seem as if the reader was actually there; makes the update more personal that way, ehehe

Gill isn't my best looking male Simmie in the world, Kae, but he has created some pretty cute kids. So you never know with the ugly ones, they do have tricks up their sleeves

Thanks for reading guys!

[Dizzy]

YAY!!! Another update!!

*renews plans to steal yer computer with the yummy graphics*

Love the dialog.. but that poor photog Maybe I just have a soft spot for him cause I am one myself.... he is soo picked on and takes such lovely pictures. *taps foot* he should get that raise.

These two have had some lovely kids.. with variety too! you are lucky.. mine all pop out the same no matter how many tricks I do to make them look different. Can't wait to see what the two older kids look like now and how they are getting on with LFA (life after asylum). And I hope any future kids Selma wins the naming fight... nooot tooo suuure about Gill's names o.O

[Kate]

I'd love for one of their kiddies to get Gill's red hair, but because black is such a dominant colour I don't think my wish will come true

You should try being accompanied by my photographer Diz, he's an odd one You should see what he looks like!

Thanks for reading

[Dizzy]

Bah!

[Kate]

ZOMG update... I need to get these WATN? updates finished as it's really starting to drag. Am feeling totally uninspired with TS2 at the moment. When I'm loading up the game, I'm generally bored within 5 minutes. Not good.

Anyways, am trying my best to update you all on the Globoco patients... Although is anyone still reading? Would anyone mind if I stopped after these two? Or do you really want to see what Benji is doing?

WARNING: This update contains scenes that might dazzle you. Or burn your eyes.

Globoco’s WATN?: Jolalian & Ville (PART 1)
(WATN = Where Are They Now)



Here we are again, photographer. Here we are again.

*sigh*

...Yes thanks, I did just sigh.

...Do I need to justify my sighing to you? I am sighing because I am bored from having been stuck in all that traffic. We are late. I told you not to take the motorway.

...How about you shut up for once and leave me to my own devices? Anyway, sighing is a normal bodily function.

...Whatever. I'm not in the mood. Come on, ring the doorbell.



Jolalian: Hi.

Me: (Shocked) O. M. G. Baby Jo, is that you??! YOU'RE SPARKLING.

Jolalian: ...Wha?

Me: You're sparkling. Dazzling me like Edward Cullen. Oh! Wait, no, you probably didn't mean that. (Coughs) You probably won't remember me. My name is Kate, I rang earlier? I came to talk about you and your brother Ville about your time in the Globoco Asylum when you were younger.

Jolalian: Oh, yeah, hi! I thought you were going to be here earlier...

Me: Yes. Sorry about that. Terrible traffic. (Looks at photographer)

Jolalian: Yeah.

(Insert awkward silence here)



Jolalian: Uh, so, I guess you want to come in?

Me: Yes, that would be lovely, thanks.



Jolalian: I just need to clear up a bit... we've just this minute finished eating...

Me: Ooh, what did you have?

Jolalian: Mac 'n Cheese.

Me: Yum.



Me: This is... quite a small place you've got here.

(Nudges photographer)

Hope you've got that fisheye lens!!

Jolalian: Small but perfectly formed! It's plenty of room for Ville and I at least.

Me: Oh yes, your dad mentioned that you and Ville were living together.



Me: Where is he? I'd love to say hello.

(Jolalian makes no reply as he opens the fridge)



Me: ...Jo?

Jolalian: Sorry, what? I couldn't hear you over the fridge. Anyway!

(He nods towards photographer)

Jolalian: That's a nice suit you've got on.

Me: He doesn't speak.

Jolalian: Oh.



(Jolalian sits. Insert following like a little lost puppy dog here)

Me: Care to tell me why you ignored my question about Ville?

Jolalian: What question?

Me: The one I asked you whilst you were putting your leftovers in the fridge.

Jolalian: I didn't hear the question.

Me: I'll ask you again now, then. Where is Ville?

(Silence)



Me: ...Jo??!

Jolalian: Uh, well...

Me: Well?

Jolalian: He doesn't really like this being public knowledge...

Me: What being public knowledge? I can keep a secret.

Jolalian: Are you sure?

Me: Heh, no. But don't worry; relax! You're with friends.



Jolalian: He's... (Quietly) Over there.

Me: Where?

Jolalian: Over... (Quietly) there.



Me: That's a door, Jo.

Jolalian: He's inside.

Me: Oh! Is that his bedroom? I'll just go inside and see him...



Jolalian: No! Wait, knock first!

Me: Knock first? Why should I knock? Privacy means nothing in this day and age. Besides, it'll be fine...

Jolalian: Oh god...

(Insert opening of the door here...)

I am still reading!!
Though if you are feeling uninspired (i hear you!!!) then i think you should stop when you want to.

a normal bodily function.

This cracked me up!! Mostly because thats why my hubby tells me about his snoring LOL

Me: You're sparkling. Dazzling me like Edward Cullen.

LMFAO ...so you do have a secret love for Twilight LOL

I love the way Jolalian was avoiding the question, update soon, cant wait to see what was behind the door!

[Kae]

I'm still reading, too, Kate!
I've just been in Florida all week ;D
Looks like vampirism to me... 'specially 'cuz you mentioned a certain Mr. Cullen.

[Dizzy]

*pokes* What is up with Ville!??!

And why is Jo sparkling!!?!?

[guska]

*pokes also* just read this, and goosey wants MOAR!

I just got TS2 to (almost) work on the laptop, so I'll attempt to do an asylum challenge starting tomorrow.
