Hey! You're not supposed to be there!

[profbutters]

Mostly for the amusement of peasant007 , I thought I would post these pictures.

Those of you who are unfortunate enough to have Cecil in your neighborhoods know that he turns up everywhere, like the proverbial bad penny. Two Outgoing Points my eye; he does run bys, steals newspapers, and shows up on community lots. And his specialty is strolling into important shots, especially when he is supposed to be on a Mysterious Journey.

Textbook case:

As you know, Lenore and Zane, from Peasant's Legacy, recently fell in love as teens and I'm letting them go with it for now (whether this will go on into adulthood, I don't know.) I'm trying to get all my extra children and teens ready for college, and when I checked in on Lenore, I was surprised to see that she had a First Kiss want. She and Zane are in love and they're even going steady, but they've only hugged.

Why not send Lenore downtown to buy a cell phone, and then call Zane for a date? That's what made sense, anyhow.

I forgot about Mr. Ostensible.





Cecil:  Young lady, may I proffer an amusing and instructive anecdote?




Zane:  Do Legacy Sims always do things like interrupt dates?

WriterTina:  So do simselves, to be fair.




Cecil:  Ah.  I shall tactfully remove myself. . . 




Cecil:  . . . .right outside the glass door, where I can be seen.

At last Lenore goes in for that First Kiss--

Sextus:  **stares openly**






Other PB and WriterTina:  **provide a distraction by playing Rock, Paper, Scissors**

Meanwhile, Cecil has returned, feeling that his presence must be required.




Cecil:  MADAM.  How dare you approach an utter stranger?

But. . . but you. . . .oh, never mind.

The date proceeds.




Cecil:  May I offer useful advice?  Is your mother aware that you are out with a young gentleman in public?




Cecil:  ---excuse me for a moment.  Madam, I shall not warn you again.




Lenore:  Great date!  You want to leave before things get really ugly?

Zane:  Yes, please.

Hahahaha oh Cecil. That was marvelous.

Lenore and Zane are an adorable couple! Too bad their first kiss was interrupted by an audience.

[profbutters.livejournal.com]

Bound to happen if it's on a community lot, isn't it? This is why I've given up trying to *stage* scenes. I just let the Sims do whatever and try to work with it.

I love Cecil and his lying Outgoing points :) I also happen to think that Zane and Lenore are adorable and I hope they continue on into adult hood, providing that they will BOTH be happy with that situation.

Thank you, Prof, you've made my day, once again :)

[profbutters.livejournal.com]

Aw, glad you liked it :)

[docnerd.livejournal.com]

Hehehehe--leave it to Cecil! That is almost Vetinari behavior!

[profbutters.livejournal.com]

I know, right? To be fair, I think the joke telling and pranking was initially all on Stripey Shirt's side. He has no patience for Pranking if he doesn't already know you, and as you know, has no hesitations about throwing down, should the appalling necessity arise.

On the other hand, there are not nearly as many Sims throwing hatey bubbles about Cecil as are about Spider Jerusalem and Rhys Fitzbugh. Mean AND Outgoing pushes things into a whole different category.

[docnerd.livejournal.com]

Oh, Mean and Outgoing is a totally different kettle of fish. They don't wait for the hostility to come to them; they go out and find it. By now, I just shrug and move on.

Haha, oh Cecil. He wants to make sure we don't forget about him, that's for sure.

I know I've not commented on the chapter yet, but Lenore and Zane are very sweet together. I'm sure, if you can mange to persuade him that his little girl is not going to be a little girl forever, that Stanley would approve. *nods*

[profbutters.livejournal.com]

Cecil is, um, very INSISTENT about face time. That is the polite term.

I enjoy couples that hook themselves up, even if sometimes I want to scream.

[wtsims.livejournal.com]

Wait, I was in the same room as Cecil and didn't poke him or anything? Huh. I guess I really have mellowed. :D

PS: I am reading, I just suck at commenting.

[profbutters.livejournal.com]

No worries, I suck at commenting too. At any given time, I'm a month or two late, and that's if I comment at all. It took me forever to catch up with the Boolpropian Round Robin Legacy.

I think your simself was distracted by Other PB and playing Rock Paper Scissors and couldn't be bothered.

[fireflowersims.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Oh, Cecil. (That was like what happened with me a couple of days ago- I took Roxy and Brenna downtown to film a scene and Cassius stood right by their table for like two minutes trying to talk to them. Rhys was, of course, hanging around as well.)

[profbutters.livejournal.com]

The last time I saw Cassius, he was slapping the cookies out of Kennedy Cox for no apparent reason. I don't even know what she did.

[dorylis.livejournal.com]

Way to go Cecil! He just doesn't want you to forget about him, I think...

He does pretty much the same thing in my neighborhood, so I'm glad to know it's just his personality, not a bug in my game...
