Home for the Mentally Non-Conforming. Part 5.

[tigeranne]

It's time for the great finale of the Asylum Challenge!



Last time, Billy died after finally overcoming her fear of peas. Aniya got married to Andrei, and Diaper Man came for a visit. Ethan found the words to say, and the relationship between him and Ryan got much less strained.


So, while Ethan and Ryan were outside, putting their differences aside, Andrei and Petunia were dishing it out as usual.

Harrison loves a good fight.


So do Ryan and Jarvis.


Petunia: BAAWWWW HAWWWW I LOST AGAIN! WHY HASN'T MY MINISTER OF EXECUTIONS LOPPED THAT RUFFIAN'S HEAD OFF YET???

Ryan: You're worse than my kids, and they at least have the excuse of being teenagers! You're like 47!


Ryan: Wanna see my battle-scars? They're very epic. But you may get a bit scared!

Aniya: You showed them off the first day you got here. They were drawn on in sharpie. And then you ate toothpaste, to fake a fever.


Ryan: I can't remember that. Are you sure that was ME? It sounds like something Harry would have done.

Aniya: You don't want to know what Harry has done.

TigerAnne? Can I tell them?

Oh, yeah. Narrator wants to say something.

I learned to used the dodge tool, and made a really good picture of Ryan's battlescars. (In my story he really HAS them, because in my story everything that happens in it is real!) But TigerAnne wouldn't let me post it, because she said it only looked slightly creepy, and not funny like the hospital pictures when he exploded. They weren't meant to be FUNNY!!! He was in lots of pain and all! TigerAnne has a really sadistic taste in jokes!

This has been a PSA.


What? Jolene has no reason at ALL to be having a good week!


Lo and Behold. She isn't!


Has little Miss Survival Instinct learned to cook now? That would be great.


Ryan: Don't be so sad, Jerica! All of this is just a TV show! We won an award and all!


Jolene: A few more days and you can go home. A few more days, and you can go home. Look happy. Pretend you're suddenly much less loco la cabeza. Dad's gonna be thrilled to hear what you've uncovered.


Without Billy around, she had to settle for playing ball with Sir Alfred, who was very eager to check out if he had managed to rust-proof his armour.


Jerica probably won't see the bottom of the home-work pile before the challenge ends.


Petunia: I'm gonna teach you a funny dance. It's called The Prime Minister doesn't like chavs.


I don't usually do radical make-overs on children, but Prissy spawned with a slightly unfortunate mix of genetics. She's got one of the darkest Pooklet skintones I've got in my game. Brown hair didn't really look good with it, so I changed it to black. I added a little red to her lips, to make her features stand out more.


Still looking for Daddy-figures in all the wrong places.


Ethan: I miss Adanaaaaa!

Are we going to see the return of Little Timmy?


WHO PEED THAT???


It's a bit worrying that Ryan seems to enjoy fighting and carnage so much, when he's not related to the people who are being minced.


Draw me. Like one of your French girls.


Whoo! She's found a way to have teh funz!


Even Jerica wasn't completely immune to starvation, it turned out. I accidentally got a glimpse of her hunger-bar, and it was almost entirely red.


If anything at all disturbed her from eating, she'd be DEAD.


I breathed a small sigh of relief when she sat down with her Dad, to have a plate of berry salad and discuss films. And then...

HOMEWORK TIME! D: D: D: She had barely eaten at all!


Jarvis: It was a stupid film.

Jerica: Oh wow... I feel a bit lightheaded. Not really in the mood for homework tonight.

*Cue TigerAnne hitting "Call to meal" five times*


JERICA NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0000000000000000000!!!1!! *Desperately hits "Call to meal" again*


Oh man... I was so sure she was a goner! Jerica lives to see another homework.


Do it, girl! What's the worst that can happen?


Definitely not the worst!


W00t! Level 9! She's soooo close!


Poor Prissy didn't really see much of her mother, while Aniya was chasing her last promotions.


Same old, same old.


Aniya: This definitely never happens to Jennifer!


Something really upset the ghost of Nathan, that night. Usually, he's been a rather peaceful ghost, floating around and minding his own business, occasionally visiting the fridge.


He went to visit Billy, probably to see if she was up for a wild night out. She wasn't.


Usually, it's hunger that bothers him, since that's what he died from. That night, he was furious about his loneliness.

Nathan: Nobody can see me! Nobody talks to me!!!


Nathan: I can't even give her a hug, because my ectoplasmic arms sink straight through her. :(

Guinevere: UGH! There's that cold spot again! D:


Nathan: Still no metaphysical grub I can nom on. >:(


That didn't make him happiest in the whole world.


Nathan: Oooh, free peepshow! >:D


Nathan: Oh yeah, I like what I'm seeing..!


Nathan: But all I can do is LOOK, and I'm still miserable and lonely!!!

Jolene: I'm so bored! It's not fun to pretend that I'm mental anymore! I want a real spy mission!!!


Nathan & Jolene: WHAT A MISERABLE EXISTANCE! SUCH ABJECT DESPAIR! VERY MUCH DESPONDENCY AND IMPOSING GLOOM!!!


Nathan: BOOOOOOOGA-BOOOOOOOGAH!!!

Ryan: AAAHAGHAHAAAGH!


Ryan: It feels like I'm gonna explode again! D:


I wonder if Nathan was angry that nobody remembered to water his flowers?


Prissy and Aniya had a little bonding time. And wow, bad resolution?!


Nothing boosts relationships like a game of red hands.


Harry, leave those poor butterflies alone, please!


Time to work on her ballet-skills.


Ethan: Hee hee, I've got your leg!

Aniya: Let go! You've been spending too much time with Ryan!


For someone having as high body-skill as Aniya, her ballet moves weren't particularly graceful. She looked very n00b. Maybe ballet is a skill of its own, separate from athletic.


Ethan took the other barre, and started showing off.


A dancer needs strong legs.


And strong arms, to break your fall when you trip during a spectacular piruette.


Harry just needs very weak morals.


Aniya: Is this when I call 911?

Monrad: I think it does not seem necessary yet because she is still breathing and that means her heart is vitally pumping blood. It could prove cautious to remove her head from the plate of edible contents as to prevent any such object from getting lodged in her inner neck or nasal cavity to be of obstruction to the flow of critically necessary oxygen to the brain. Using safe methods learned on an educational video depicting emergency health-care we should in a controlled measure extract her upper extremity from the nosh.


Jerica: Ouch! I've got yoghurt in my sinuses!


Spartacus: Looks like Jerica will be missing school today.

GOOD! Then she won't be coming home with yet another homework! Her grades can't even GET any worse.


Michelle: I'm a paranormal investigator for MI-5.


Dalek: EX-TER-MI-NATE?! YOU WILL BE EX-TER-MI-NATE-ED!?

Nathan: A little too late for that now, bro.


Nawww, look at the turtle-doves. :)


Jolene: I'm so hungry I could eat my socks! Of course I can't cook worth a darn, because Mom's too proud of her cheffery to allow anyone else access to the stove!


Jolene: Slices of bread should be within my abilities. When I get out of here, cooking would probably be a very good spy-skill to learn!


Jolene: I'm so hungry! D: And I want a real spy-mission!


Prissy: I'm gonna be a GHOST when I grow up!


Third time's the charm! Roast Beef FTW!


A big, juicy piece of beef, mashed potatos made with butter, and fresh tomatos and cucumber. Looks delicious, doesn't it?


By all means, keep ignoring the garden.


Jerica's been practicing the 1992 Billboard 100, because Jarvis wanted her to know some "newer stuff" for when he reunites his old band. (From before Jerica was even born.)


Spartacus' been finding his peace with the Universe.


So has Jarvis...

Jarvis: Oh wow..! Now I know what happened!


Right. We're so very proud of our own con artist... Eh, go for the insurance scam.


There is justice in the world, hee hee!


Marylena Hamilton the 2nd route-fails worse than any other NPC. It's impossible to interact with her until she finds the door, which happens never. They have to wait for her to give up, and plunk the basket down.


Ethan: *Cheerfully morbid reflections on where sausages come from, and the futility of it all*

Andrei: *Fascinated*


Ethan's been getting rather popular, since he started speaking normally.


Aniya did spend some family-time with Prissy, but at this point, she had to spend most of her free time skilling up.


Prissy: NO! Don't touch me! YOU'RE NOT MY DAD!!!


Andrei: BAWWW HAWWWW NOBODY LIKES MEEEEE!


He's a good representative of an ISBI husband.


Whoo yay! Another hunger epidemic. :D NOT!


Ryan: *Reflections over the magic of friendship*


Monrad failed to sniff his way to the food, so I decided to be evil and not really make much of an effort to save him.


I watched Aniya skilling up, while Monrad's icon got redder and redder.


He suddenly had a brain-wave, and started cooking. =.o Then he abandoned the food, to go and be Monrad.


Andrei took over, and averted another asylum fire.


Whooo, snack baguettes. That will keep them alive for half a day, at most.


PS: You've got a wolf digging through your trash.


This is Keith Rowntree. He took over as lead guitarist in Jarvis' band, after something happened to Jarvis that's soon to be explained.


Jolene: What a cute, fluffy dog! I want to take her home to the farm!

Jerica: Give her a bath first! She's been rolling in the garbage!


Starvation continued, and I had to rummage through Aniya's inventory for leftovers. That's probably cheating, but do I care?


Monrad failed to find the food again.


Noelle Hillary Dennis Aniya's back home.


Wiggling your fingers in front of a cat Harrison's size, isn't really smart. Getting a claw raked over your nail-root, with 18lbs of cat attached, can be rather unpleasant. Take my word for it.


Michelle: The secret government organization I work on behalf of have taught me the secret behind the vending machines. How come you can't get stuff from them, when you have all the knowledge in the Universe in your head?

Spartacus: I've been forgetting stuff, and I prefer it that way.


Oh Aniyaaaa... You need to get uuuuuup...


Jerica: NNNNJUIINNGFFNNAAAAHHHHHGGGNNFFFNUUUUUUNGGGGHHHH!


Aniya: Sometimes I get a feeling of being watched. I must have lived here for too long.


That's one seriously meant head-butt!


Ryan: UGH, I need a bath! You can stay and watch if you wanna. :)

Ethan: I don't think we're quite there yet.


Ethan will make a good husband for Adana, some day.


These two have a lot in common, actually.


Ryan: When Great-Grandpa Phil received the time-machine from himself in the future, it created a time-warp that hit the year 1990 and your Dad got sucked into it. His 20-year-old self got merged with his 40-year-old self. At first nobody knew what had happened, but the past year of 1990, which had been changed from how it had really been, tried to right itself again. It tried to pull 1990-Jarvis back through the fabric of time and reality, and he started to get extracted from his older self, and into the world of 2014. This resulted in him aging backwards, and starting to forget the events of the intervening years. Sadly, the time-warp closed, and now he's stuck here not remembering.

Jerica: Wow... A year ago, I would have refused to believe this, but now I'm sort of at the point where everything seems possible.


It was weekend, so they got pizza. :)


Sierra: I made up that stuff about being the female world boxing champion. It feels good to admit it.


I've got plans for the building, after the challenge finishes, so it would maybe be an idea to get rid of all the weeds.


Poor gardener.


The game froze, and the replay of the day mostly concisted of this dustball containing Andrei and Petunia.


Nawww!


Prissy entertained the housemates with a child's honest view on life in a nuthouse.


The gardener this time was Calista Despret II.


Prissy: This is my brave face.


Jerica: He's gonna explode again, ain't he? *Can't look. Won't look*


Ethan: I think Nathan's haunting the asylum because he still had unresolved issues when he died. Billy resolved hers, so she's at peace. No pun intended!

Spartacus: She's at peas, LOL!

Ethan: Dude. Not funny!


Ryan: Adana's Dad was a vampire who drank too much. He died because he got drunk and went to visit my half-brothers in jail when the sun was up. Then he haunted the house, and killed a random dude my Great-Grandma married. That was actually very nice of him, because then she could marry Legolas, and Iris and Ben were born a lot prettier.


If only they survive a few more days, they're freeeeeeee!


Ryan kept randomly getting fit. I didn't even see him working out. At home, he's married to the kill-bike, but while he was in the Asylum, he never touched it.


Moody: Why do humans call a vicious brawl a dog-fight?


The battle of two great intellects. Who will win? To be fair, though, Ryan's got very high logic skill. In real-world terms, he would be one of those really intelligent people who appear to just have arrived from Planet Zoing, and who probably do have some sad mental condition. But they sure know their maths!


Yes, yes. You'll soon be rid of him!


Aniya's Aspiration tanked because of all the skilling and no play. Andrei tried to cheer her up with an autonomous smooch.


Oh, and Ryan got a chance card. I went for checking the fact, since Reely can get "reely" mad if you accuse him of being a child prodigy rather than just a teenaged one.


Well, poo. He'll get back up in no time.


The last creativity point was hard to get!


She had to take a break to play a game of pool with Ron.


Aaaand go on a date. No, that's not Phil's Grandma.


They're kind of cute together.


Ryan was corrupting Ethan, by teaching him lots of dirty jokes. Is it just me, or does Ryan look shorter than most other adults he's in a picture with? I haven't messed with his height.


At this point, Aniya had pretty good cooking skills, so I had her make lots of foods I'd never had anyone try out before. Shrimp and calamari as a late Saturday snack! :)


One of the rare occasions when someone used the pool. It was summer and pretty hot, wich may have had something to do with it.


Sims build athletic skill by floating around like a log all day. It's cheating!


Prissy: I DON'T WANT TO BE A LITTLE KID AND I DON'T WANT TO LIVE WITH LOTS OF CRAZY PEOPLE!!1111!!!!11!!1!

Hang in there, sprout. :-/ Your Mom only needs one more promotion, and it will come soon.


Aniya finally managed to get the last creativity point. She was ready to go to work.


Jerica: I CAN'T HANDLE IT ANY MORE! I CAN'T TAKE ONE MORE DAY IN THIS PLACE!

You may not have to. Look who's coming home.


YAAAAAAAASS!!!


Noelle Hillary Dennis Aniya didn't even bother to change her clothes before hitting the web to look for a house for her family and pets.


Assorted People: Bye, Aniya! Bye, Aniya! Bye, Aniya!

Ryan: And please give Moody a bath when you get home!


Andrei: Where are we going?

Aniya: I don't even know, ha ha! The house just looked so nice, so I took it. Hey, driver? Do you know where Cranberry Grove 14 is?


Harrison: WAIT FOR MEEEEEEEow!


Prissy: If I get my own room, I may even get used to stupid Andrei!


Jerica: I'm outta here! I can't even believe it!!!


Jarvis: Yes, to the Time-Gate, please!


Spartacus and Monrad moved out with Sir Alfred, because none of those three should be alone.


Sir Alfred: Our new castle will be much better!


Ethan: Liiittle TiimmyYYyYyyYyYy!!!

Guinevere: Uh, Ethan... Sierra and me are leaving now. Take care of yourself in the future, or the past, okay?




The two BFFs moved out together. I'm going to download some houses for these guys, and make the rest of their families.


Petunia, who's pretty relieved that she's not really the Prime Minister, went back to being a suburband mother of two, as well as a slightly above average rose-grower.


Ryan: Jolene, you can stop playing around now! We're free, and you can go back to your family on the farm.


Melody and Harry went in the taxi with her.


Ryan: Well, that leaves us two. I've called the family, and we're being picked up in about ten minutes.

Ethan: Aren't you going to get dressed?

Ryan: Nah. You're the one who's going to the Victorian times, mate. I'm just going home to Cindy and the remaining kid. It's gonna be so BLISSFULLY LOVELY to live in a house without constant fighting!

Ethan: I'm going to be travelling with Adana. It's a dream come true, I can't believe it!

Ryan: Oh, believe it. And tell her I said hi. Take care, bro. It's a rough world back there!


And so concludes the saga of the Home for the Mentally Non-Conforming. Billy and Nathan have been sent to St. Michael's, where they at least are in good company. The rest of the gang will be seen around.

BTW, in case you wondered who Noelle Hillary Dennis was...

TTFN!

Yay the finale! You know, I didn't notice Chicken Man in the background of the header image until the second time I looked! Or would that be Penguin Man? XD

Ooooh, the Dodge tool! That's a step up from MS Paint!

Ryan: Don't be so sad, Jerica! All of this is just a TV show! We won an award and all!

Aww, isn't that precious. He doesn't seem to know what kind of award it was. X)

Poor Prissy. At least she got a cute makeover.

Definitely worrying, considering Ryan has five nice points.

Close call, Jerica!

Nathan & Jolene: WHAT A MISERABLE EXISTANCE! SUCH ABJECT DESPAIR! VERY MUCH DESPONDENCY AND IMPOSING GLOOM!!!

XD XD XD

Uh-oh, Ryan is getting to be a baaad influence on Ethan!

It's so helpful when Sims stop in the middle of cooking or serving a meal to express how very hungry they are.

Getting a claw raked over your nail-root, with 18lbs of cat attached, can be rather unpleasant. Take my word for it.

Ooooooh, pain! I'm pretty sure that happened to me, too, but probably when my two previous kitties were young and playful. I read that you can train a cat not to scratch you on purpose by screaming when they do it, so I tried it. My Stormie looked up at me with wide, horror-stricken eyes, and then she never scratched me again. She got to be 16lbs at her heaviest. I always made her diet, and she'd be grumpy for a couple of days. X)

It's a good thing Ryan came to the asylum. He had an explanation for what happened to Jarvis. And I loooooved it. It made sense! I wish Lost had done something like that instead of the what-the-hell-just-happened ending.

Best of luck to the gardener!

Is it just me, or does Ryan look shorter than most other adults he's in a picture with? I haven't messed with his height.

I haven't really noticed, but that's what I always think of Apollo, even though all adult Sims are the same height.

Yaaaay! You finished! Congratulations! It was so much fun to read. I really loved the back stories you gave each character, their mental illnesses and the causes thereof. Thanks for posting it! And now I'm looking forward to your next project....

[tigerannesims2.livejournal.com]

My next "project" for the Sims will be to put in all the "Victorian" CC I've downloaded.

The picture of Ryan really exists, but I decided not to use it in the Travecy, because it looked just a bit too realistic to be funny. But Narrator used the unedited picture instead, and called it "fan-service."

Ethan's in a worse mental state than previously believed. :( You'll see when I get up the next chapter of the Starbloobs.

Jarvis and Jerica will probably be guest-starring when they hit the 80s and 90s. :D

I'm happy to hear that you liked my crazy Asylum and the crazy people who lived in it. It was lots of fun to make up all the reasons they were in there. x) I'm sadistic, and like creating backstories.

oooh i thot etan woudn't be going to the victor years. this is grate/1111 its perfvect foir him bcuz everyoine talked like ethan back then becasue they thought dictionaries and weird old-fashioned words were cool/! maybe he can tech the strablooms 2 speak the victorienish so they donbt look wierd.

[simlili.livejournal.com]

It's over, congratulations!

[tigerannesims2.livejournal.com]

I was very happy when this one was over, honestly. Now I can focus on the legacies, and not feel guilty about not having finished a challenge I started before any of them.
