New Year’s Eve Artwork!

I sketched a little doodle of Evangeline this afternoon, and decided to share. Sorry for the bad quality photo.

Gen 1.3: In The Name of Love!

I decided to go to the art museum to meet up with my friend, Clyde. It had been a while since I’d seen him and I was getting a little lonely. He was my first real friend on this planet, and we were not super close but I hoped that one day we would be. I also hoped that I could meet his wife someday, because she was probably really great.

“Clyde, I was finally able to afford to build some walls at my place. It’s not much, but it’s a start.” I said to him, cheerfully.

Of course, he was very happy for me. I loved having a confidant. It was so nice!

But there’s more. “I have something else to tell you Clyde. I met someone.”

“Who!?” He asked incredulously.
 “Oliver Bridges.” I sighed, dramatically, as I remembered his face the first time I saw him. He was so handsome, I immediately gave him a hug without even thinking about it. I just walked right up to him and hugged him. He didn’t even care! He just smiled.
Afterwards I invited him to my “place” and we got to talking. Things were going really well.

That’s when I decided to make my move.

“You do know how handsome you are, don’t you?” I said, staring him straight in the eye. It was the boldest thing I’ve ever done! It turns out he thought I was pretty good looking and nice to hang out with too, because when I asked if he wanted to be my boyfriend, he said yes!
 “Say cheese!” I ignored the fact that Oliver isn’t very photogenic in selfies. He gets this awkward squint-eye-not-quite-a-smile look going on, but I sort of love it. He’s my awkward nerd brain man.  I asked him to move in right then. I couldn’t wait any longer. It turns out he had quite a few simoleons, so we were able to start building quite a few walls a get a few necessities. We didn’t do any painting, or get any windows (still) but that’s okay. I’ve seen enough of the outdoors to last me for a generation. We’ll be able to afford paint and windows eventually! I’m sure of it.
In the meantime, I’m a mess from all of that building, so I really need to take a shower.

Look at me! Ew. I look plum tuckered out.

But of course, after my shower I decide to paint.

I was in the middle of my third painting when Oliver decided to lure me into bed. How could I resist that?
 Until next time. 😉

Gen 1.2: Walls Up, Sanity Out The Window (We Still Don’t Have a Window)

It seems like all I do is go to work and work on my garden. Even for someone as cheerful as myself that takes quite a toll on me.
I need more time for fun in my life, but by the time all of the things I need to get done for money-making are finished I’m so hungry and tired or some other desperate and urgent physical need that my mental state doesn’t seem to matter.

I am really tense by the time I decide to make yet another salad for myself. Ugh! Salads for days! It seems like all I’m eating is salad… granted, it’s all I can  afford if I want walls and it’s better than cereal, plus it’s easy to make- and I did decide to sell the stove…

Maybe I can just stick my finger into my brain and pull out what on earth I was thinking. Or better yet, maybe I can pull out some of my memories and some of my skills along with them.

NOTHING.
I am so tired, and my back and neck ache from all of the work I’ve been doing… but…

I guess it is all worth it, because now I am able to talk to the contractor and get some walls for my bathroom and kitchen. Originally I just wanted bathroom walls, but I was so determined I made enough for the kitchen too!

Oh man! I have to pee again! At least this time I’ve got walls…

Gen 1: The Founding

 Hi there! My name is Evangeline Fae. Well, I’ve given myself the last name Fae, because I don’t remember who my parents are. I’m from another planet you see, and I crash-landed here without much money to my name- in the crash I lost most of my memories. I remembered my first name, that I’m a faerie, and that I love to paint. Although, it will probably take me a while to build my skill back up. This is all I could afford with what I had left after the crash. It isn’t much, but I hope it will be enough to get be started. I might have to sell the stove later on… but I found it for a relatively good deal and I just couldn’t pass it up for now. We’ll see how it goes. I also stumbled upon a cute little pony toy- how could I say no to that? I named her Esme!   The first thing I decided to do was try out some fishing with an old rod I found by a nearby source of water. I hoped nobody was planning on coming back for it, because I sure could use it and I was planning on keeping it. Maybe this is why faeries have a reputation for stealing things?  I fished for quite some time until I caught two fish and decided to give up. It seemed like I lost all of my skills in the crash too! Yeah, painting was probably going to be the same, and if I wanted to get better I needed to find and easel and get started. So I made my way over to the art museum to see if I could find an easel there. “Hi! I’m Evangeline. How are you doing today, sir?” I introduced myself to the first sim I saw at the museum. He was painting a large piece, and I didn’t want to interrupt him- but at the same time I really wanted to meet someone new. Besides Esme, that is.

“I’m doing okay. I should probably get to work though. Seeya later.” And he left  without even giving me his name.

How rude. It’s okay though, because that freed up the easel for me to paint something and I was itching to see what the painting materials here on this planet were like. They seemed so different from the ones back home. Also, I needed to see if I was as bad at painting as I was at fishing.

It turns out I was not so horrible at painting as I was at fishing, but I was still nowhere near as good as I used to be. I had a long way to go. This little girl came by and cheered me on though! After that I went home to get something to eat because I was getting quite hungry. I didn’t have much in the way of cooking skill on this planet either, go figure, so I just made a small salad and ate that on my bed. I loved my bed because it reminded me of home. The butterflies with their wings on the headboard reminded me of the wings I used to have before the crash. Oh well.

The next morning, after I woke up, I had to pee like I’ve never had to pee before.

Then it hit me. I didn’t have walls for my bathroom and I was going to have to pee outside, in public, where anyone that was walking past could see me. How long could I hold it for? Surely not long enough to build walls…

Ugghh… I’m going to have to make some money so I can build walls very soon. I guess that means I have to get a job, doesn’t it?

Anyway, after I went to the bathroom I sold the stove to buy a sink and an easel. Then I decided to play with Esme, because I really needed to have some fun. Badly! I don’t think I had done anything fun since I had landed in this strange place…
 “Neigh! I’m Esme, and I’m the most beautiful pony in all the lands! Neeeiiiggghh!”  Unfortunately, it was time for me to go to my new job right in the middle of playing with Esme. I was sad to be interrupted in my much awaited playtime. But I guess I was looking forward to my new job, and I was going to make the most of this job. At least it was an art job!
Nothing was going to get me down for long! That’s for sure. I could handle whatever this job was going to throw at me. Besides it would probably be easy- even if it is a new job on a new planet. I could totally handle this.

I guess I couldn’t handle this after all. I was exhausted after my first day of work. I was so tired that I didn’t even make it all the way to my bed. I passed out right in the grass beside it. People that passed by were probably taking pictures of me, the mysterious stranger with no walls, passed out on her lawn. Great. Just great.
