"Quotated Text"- Mira Underlined Text- Renaldo Italic Text- Solana Bold and Italic Text- Lab Partner (Lisa) or Darian "Dios Mio, look at this place- so much space..." "And so much RAIN." "Yeah, that's kinda true. Come on in, I'll show you around!" After so much drama, it sure is nice to settle and actually ACCOMPLISH something for once. I guess you really are a rocket scientist now. "Oh my, my, my. Mira? Is this your garden?" "Ummm, yeah. Matthias had a short lived gardening phase. And I don't have much of a taste for it either....." "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, your mother never had much of a green thumb either." "I'm so happy that you guys are here with me. I can prepare as much as a like, but I just feel better knowing that I'm not going into this 'motherhood' thing alone." What am I? Do I not matter? Ugh. Some people. "It's no problem mi carina, you are my family. Renaldo and I will support you every step of the way." "Hahaha, I think Abuelo might have some other distractions...." "Solana, look at this thing- it's HUGE. Imagine the futbol games! I can't wait until the World Cup! This will be the year Selvadorada takes the cup- I know it!" "Honestly Mi Amor...." "Well, he'll be glad to know that we'll bring the TV when we move." WHAT? So were you planning on telling me that we were moving- or were you just going to let it be a delightful surprise. "Don't be so dramatic. Nothing is set in stone yet, it's just....with the baby on the way and everything that's happened recently, I'm just feeling the need for a fresh start. Maybe a house where no one has died violently or unnaturally. Is that so much to ask?" Okay fine. I suppose a change of scenery would be nice. It's not like any of my other plans for this legacy work out like I had planned. OH! I get to build a new house! Now I'm on board. Well with that issue put to rest, I guess there's only one elephant left in the room. "I don't know what you're referring to." No way genius girl, you don't get to avoid him forever, you should at least tell him the truth before ghosting out of town. "I'm going to do it, I just need to think of...how to do it." Whatever you say genius girl. Whatever you say. "Okie dokie, one screw there, one balanced chemical there...and ta-da! New invention! I really outdid myself this time!" What did you do? Cure the common cold? Finally bring the Servo back? "Nope. Freeze Ray!" Freeze Ray? "Freeze Ray." Ooooohhhhh. Freeze Ray. I'm sure she'll let it go once she thaws. Get it? Let it go? Because she's FROZEN? Hahahahahahaha, I slay myself. "You're an embarrasment." I'm hilarious. "Huh. I guess I missed the casual Friday Memo." This is a weird place. "Agreed." "Mira! Hey!" "Lisa! How are you? I haven't seen you since you transferred to the Lunar Lakes Lab!" "I't Ah-mazing! I love running my own lab. Though I guess I haven't been as productive as you though!" "Is it a boy or a girl? When are you due?" "I don't know and any day now I guess. What brings you back to Newcrest?" "That's the thing, Mira. Things have been going really well my Lab at Lunar Lakes, we have a TON of fabulous projects going on. Well.....the Landgraabs were so impressed with how I was running things they offered me a job heading the lab in Strangerville!" "Lisa! That's amazing! But that doesn't answer the question." "Haha, I guess not. You see, I really like Lunar Lakes, in fact- I'm engaged! So I really don't want to relocate.......so I suggested that they give the job to you." "To me? Head of the Strangerville Labs? I don't know what to say......" "Say YES!" Say YES! YES! "Well.......Yes! I Accept!" "You were right. I couldn't avoid it forever. I suppose it's kind of like ripping off a band aid." Uh-oh here we go! "Mira? I can't tell you how glad I was to hear from you, I mean it's been MONTHS, you didn't return any of my calls or texts or..........." "Hey." "Hey." "........" "....... So........are you pregnant?" "Yup." I can always count on you Viridis to be the most eloquent under pressure. "Look, before this goes any further- I just want you to know that I'm not expecting anything from you. And despite what you apparently thing- this is NOT a reconcilliation. So let's just nip that in the bud right now." "Mira.....I know I fucked up. Believe me, I'm trying to be better I am.....it's this damned job. I'm doing my best to get out of it. It's just not that easy. There are a lot of weird factors at play. But I want to be here for you, for the baby...." "*Sigh*. Darian- stop. I don't know what you're weird job is. I know it's not what I thought it was. I don't know what you were doing with my research, and frankly- I don't WANT to know. The only reason I asked you here was to tell you about the baby because it was the right thing to do. I'm moving soon and-" "You're moving? Where? When?" "I haven't decided yet. My new job is in Strangerville, so I imagine somewhere close." "Mira? I understand if you don't want me. After everything that happened, I can hardly blame you. But will you let me see our child?" "I don't know Darian. I want to. I grew up without my mother. I was lucky, my dad was amazing. But there was always a hole in life where she should have been. I don't want that for my child. I don't want him or her to feel that emptiness. But at the same time....." "I can't let you hurt our child the way you hurt me. I don't want it to have to wait for you to have time, not to mention to get wrapped up in whatever weird shit you're obviously into. I just don't know what to do." "Mira....I am going to fix this. I am going to be there for you. For this child. I won't disappoint you again." "I really wish I could believe that Darian. I really wish I could. Goodbye Darian." "I'm going to fix this Mira. I promise you. I'm going to fix this." "It's over now, the music of the niiiiight.....Oh. I do love a nice ironic organ tune at midnight. It really perks up these old bones." "Mr.Strauss? Mr. Strauss? Are you home?" "Just when I was thinking that my evening would be uneventful. In the parlor Mr.Nixon." "Tell me Mr.Nixon, you ask for a night off, yet you are here anyway. I must say- I do admire your dedication. Have you brought a tasty morsel for a midnight snack." "No Mr.Strauss, I.....have something to ask you. Something I need." "Hahahahahaha- you? Have something to ask of ME? I will give you that- you do know how to make me laugh Mr.Nixon. You know what- I'm in a good mood. What is this favor you need that has you looking so serious on this lovely evening?" "I want to be released from my contract. I want to be human again." "Hmmm. That is in indeed quite a favor. Let me think for a momment.......no." "Mr. Strauss! Please! You have to do this for me! You have to-" "Mr.Nixon. Have a seat with me here. Let me make something clear. You are lucky that I like you. I admire your ripped jeans and strangley floppy hair. It brings a lively air into this very old house. Not to mention your abosolute ignorance when it comes to the finer things in life. It amuses me. But my favor can be taken away just as easily as it granted. If I wanted to, I could kill you right here and no one would miss you. It is only because you caught me in a good mood that I don't kill you for your impertinance right here. Count your blessings and go home." "Please! Mr.Strauss. I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate. When I asked for the curse, when I signed that contract, I never thought I would ever find a family other than this. You and the twins took me in when I had no one. I will always be grateful for that- but I'm about to be a father and-" "What was that? A father? YOU?" "Well.....yeah. My ex-girlfriend. She broke up with me because I couldn't tell her the truth about me. I love her, but I never broke my word to you Mr.Strauss. I did everything you've ever asked of me. But I want to be there for my child- PLEASE." "Oh stop with the dramatics Mr.Nixon. I'll give you the cure." "Please! I'll do anything, I'll- wait what?" "I said I'll give you the cure." "I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth- but I have to ask- why?" "At my core, I do consider myself a gentleman. Possibly one the last ones left in this world. Plus, I guess I have a weak spot for parenthood. You'll find the cure over there- on the bar." "Was that always there? " "No. Just drink it." "Mr.Strauss, I can't thank you enough! I owe you my life!" "I'll keep that in mind. Bottoms up Mr. Nixon." What is this? I turn away for like 2 minutes, and I find you here?! "Well, the thing about childbirth is that it waits for no man- or omnipresent voice." Well, at least you were responsible enought to find a real doctor. "Maybe it's the painkillers I'm on...but I'll bite. What kind of hospital wouldn't have real doctors?" You'd be surprised. Welcome to the world Bryce Anthony Viridi. You're in for quite a ride. Woo! There we go! I hope you're hyped. We haven't seen the last of our Mr.Strauss. I wonder what he's up to? Next stop! Strangerville! In the meantime, I leave you with these absolute gems of outakes. I love the sims so damn much. Darian's original dark form pre makeover. I don't know what part I love more the headphones over hat or the short shorts/ button down combo. I don't have a witty comment for this. I just CAN'T LOOK AWAY.
