Chapter 1.1

22Feb10

Hello, all! So I’m starting a new legacy. A to Z: The Journey exploded, so I took a break from TS3 and went back to TS2 (still probably the better of the two). Needless to say, reading The Creeper Legacy and a few others made me jealous so I had to start again.

Without further ado, I present… Shnidlentstein: An Epic.

Meet Lucy Shnidlenstein. Named after Lucy Ricardo in the classic TV show, “I Love Lucy.” Can you guess the naming theme in this legacy? If so, you get a gold star because you rock. Moving on.

Lucy is a Clumsy, Family-Oriented, Adventurous, Never-Nude, Childish founder. Already doomed to ridicule by her traits, I knew this would be a challenge.

Her favorites are Violet, French Music, and Crepes.

“Umm. How awesome is it that I have over $40,000 already? Heck. Yes.”

Yeah. My fault. It’s a long story, but I do intend on disposing of the money in some way.

Despite my gaffe, Lucy’s home was still as humble as  possible. Ahh, the wonderful and terrible first stages of a legacy. Good times, friends. Good times.

Lucy needed to be poor. And quick.

So, what better way, I thought, to spend money than going on a distant vacation?!

“Great. Let’s go ahead and do the same ‘I’m experimenting with World Adventures!’ chapter that everyone else is doing. Wonderful.”

Perfect.

It took all of two seconds for Lucy to pack, get airline tickets, call a shuttle service, and make arrangements in Egypt. Not to mention, I cannot imagine that Lucy has a valid passport. If only life were more like Sims… I digress.

The taxi came by and Lucy hopped in… rather cautiously.

Lucy: “Are… are you going to steal me?”

Random Taxi Driver: “Maybe.”

45 seconds later, we were in Egypt. Almost immediately, she signed up for some quests and went on her hunt.

Lucy – “You remind me of a Yeti.”

Sopdu: “Okay. How about you go get my papers from the tomb of death and get back to me, ‘kay?”

Lucy: “Jerk. You can forget about ever being married into the Shnidlensteins.”

I’m sure he’s real devastated about it. :/

She found his freaking papers no problem and went through, what I found to be, a rather fun tomb. Of course, it was the first tomb I’d ever gone through and I was a tad giddy and n00bish the entire time.

Sopdu showed his appreciation to Lucy by pawning her off on one of his associates, Youssef. She, naturally, followed him blindly, even though, while reading the adventure description, there was a subtle, but very clear, warning about Youssef.

Lucy: “I must have you.”

Eager, much? She was already rolling wants to kiss Youssef and she’d hardly met him. While she was largely ignored, he did manage to send her to get him some turquoise, y’know, somewhere in the region of the Great Pyramids. Whatevs.

Since it was incredibly late, the turquoise would have to wait until the morning. Flirtation, on the other hand, was up front and center. Lucy was thrilled to discover that Youssef was single and swinging. Well, not swinging. You get the point.

Things progressed pretty quickly from there…

Youssef: Your eyes glow like… the… stars shine on the pyramids….

Lucy: Oh, Youssef! *giggle*

-____-

Lucy set her tent up right beside Youssef’s home. Apparently, this is very offensive in Egyptian culture. Youssef came out and had a hissy fit until he finally gave up and retreated into his house.

Don’t worry about their relationship, though. While she slept, Lucy magically became besties with both Sopdu and Youssef.

Oh. Well, a very good morning to you, Youssef… Mmmh.

Lucy: *giggling*

Oh, childish Sims.

You’re looking a little… determined, there, Lucy.

“Must. Find. Turquoise. For My Love.”

Mmkay. Go for it.

She succeeded and returned to Youssef quickly. The day was nearly over, and the two found themselves inside Youssef’s house as the sunlight came to an end.

I’ll have to leave you here… What will happen next? Is Youssef really as great as he comes off? Will Lucy make some regrettable decisions during her stay in Egypt? Check back soon for more!
