Prologue - Angelica's College Years

Freshman Year



Welcome to Academie Le Tour Angelica!
"What? Who are you? Wait! Who am I? Why can't I remember?!"
Well, let's see, what is college, I'm Nightrowan, but my sims tend to call me all sorts of names ranging from the worshipful to ones that I'll have to replace with a random string of letters and symbols. You're Angelica LaFeuille and to be honest I have no idea why you can't remember anything.
"Lot of help you are!"
Don't get mouthy with me! I had enough of that with Rowan Night. How a simself could be so disrespectful to their RL counterpart I have no idea. Behave or I'll ask (simmer who kills off her sims) to teach you some manners. I'm sure that if you survive you'll be a nice quite polite sim after that.
"Hmph! For now I'll go along with what you want, but only because I don't seem to have anything better to do. I don't even know where to start looking for my past."
I can help with that. Your bags showed up here before you did and I was curious so...
"You went through my things?!"
Well, I wanted to see if we'd get along, anyway, the point is that it looks like your from the town of Eden, but that was all I could figure out. No diary or anything. You might want to start keeping one now in case this is something like '50 First Dates'.
"Why should I? It looks like you'll be following me around with a camera and a notepad for the rest of my life anyway, you do it."
Fine, but if you keep that attitude I may just have to do something horrible to you....


Day number 2 and a sim is spotted who is so ugly that we would have known he was SS without the jacket. Angelica asked one of the dormies what his name was, which caused much snickering and bewildered looks until she told them that she wanted to ask him where she could get a jacket like his. Once it was clear that Angelica wasn't into him, the girls told her that his name was Ricky Corsillo.


"OMG!! Sandy Bruty is pulling a 'Never Been Kissed'!!!"
I don't think so, maybe she's her little sister or something. Just avoid direct eye contact and hope she takes the hint.


Poor Angelica, almost all of her dormmates are hideous freaks of nature. Check out the schnoz brothers.


I refuse to make this poor girl live with these freaks for any longer than is neccessary. Any time she doesn't have a skill building want she gets sent out to dig. She needs about $5,000 to buy the nice little campus house that's waiting for her.


I don't know if it's a glitch or the combination of Autumn and her activeness, but I've never seen anyone build body this quickly, even with the Obstacle Course and a Thinking Cap. It took her 49 sim minutes to go from 0 to 10!!!


Hmm... Well this is certainly a dilema. Which obnoxious cow am I supposed to cheer for again? The one in the plushie costume or the one in the skirt?


WOOT!!! Get ready to move in the morning girl, you just struck gold!


"Mmmm, flowers and peace and quiet! What more could a girl ask for?"
Enjoy it while it lasts...
"What? What are you talking about?"
Err, nothing, it's just you'll obviously have to move out when you graduate right?
"Mm-hm, not that I believe you or anything, but I doubt you'll tell me anything more anyway, so why should I bother."


Huh, this guy is quite popular with the other deities, but he doesn't seem too impressed with Angelica.


Woohoo! Jan, you may be a Romancer, but you've got the job and the looks to make it into this family later on!


Ah chess table, how I love your sim trapping ways. Despite the lack of interests in common Angelica has two bolts for this guy which means chances are he's one or more of three things; a great cook, extremely well employed, or a knowledge sim. All of which would rock for me! Unfortunately as soon as she stopped playing chess to ask him what his job was he lift to take a bath.


"Wow! He's hot!!"
Hot? Have you seen his nose? Please find someone cuter, pretty please?


Oh thank heavens! Make friends with the man and then move along Angelica, I don't think you'd like being married to a Criminal Mastermind. (What she doesn't need to know is that the crime rate is going to be pretty far down her list of priorities soon)


I like him, but I'm not sure he's the man for you. Don't lose his number though.


A quick trip home to take care of pressing needs and some aspiration gain and then it was back to interviewing. This town is full of skilled people, and we need all their names and numbers!


Wow! I like her much better than the last criminal we met. Much better genetics! And yes, this is sort of my easy restriction lift cheat sheet. Feel free to just scroll past all the photos of sims announcing their jobs.


This town seems to be extremely corrupt. Look at the number of criminals there are here.


"Man hunt, huh? I remember those days...."
I'm sure you do lady. Please let him have a great job. This is Agrimony's husband Glen's twin, and Glen was just fabulous.


OK, so this is starting to get a bit too much like the Leaf family, but I loved him the first time around and it is an awesome lift. Angelica won't care that she can't have a Knowledge type of job, I guess...
That pretty much put an end to the spouse hunting. Angelica only really likes them if they're well employed and Knowledge, besides, it's doubtful that her heirs will maintain her contacts for more than a generation or so, although I was looking for someone in Culinary or Military.


Although we may keep looking for potential spouses later, Angelica finally decided to go on a skilling binge, which is a good thing because her aspiration was getting dangerously low. I'm not sure I'll have the heart to not let her and Skylar get together though. He called her two hours after she got home to see if she wanted to go out, but since it was an outing instead of a date I had her beg off.


Sophomore Year


Seriously, this is what Sophomore year looked like. Pretty boring stuff, right?


You may as well learn this rule right now, You Burn It, You Eat It.


Angelica also spent some more time digging. You never know what you'll find and some of things sell well on eBay.


Junior Year


Junior year started off with lots of skilling, but this time around Angelica had the help of our friend the energizer.
"Oooh, I feel all glowy and tingly! This thing is awesome!"
Yes, yes, now get your butt back to skilling. I'd still like you to take another trip downtown to see if we can find people in the military or culinary tracks. I'm sure the readers would like to see something other than skill building, and you still only have one Secret Society friend. If you want a nifty jacket you have to make friends with three of them.


"Yes, that's right, I'd like to change my major to Art. Why? Well, I really wanted to get an adventurous job, but I was ordered to pick between Art and Phylosophy, so I chose Art because that's my favorite hobby at the moment."


"That's it? I now know everything about everything?"
Well, not quite. You know everything about all the normal skills, but there are special skills you could study, or if you really want you could earn some talent badges. By the way, you could have at least had the courtesty to flash the 'All Skills Maxed' doohickey, not that I've ever had a sim do it, but I've seen other people's sims do it.


Making friends with SS members is already paying off. Angelica's not even friends with Jordan yet, but she was still kind enough to bring along yet another potential spouse for Angelica to interview.


Hmm, not what I had in mind, but we can still keep his number.


Boo yeah! Our first trip to campus and the first person to greet her is the final SS member she needs! You go girl!


Christy, I think I love you! You are so in as a spouse for generation two, provided that we have a male offspring.


Yeah, I decided that Angelica could have Skylar. He's constantly calling for a date anyway, and she dreams about him. Of course, he's not the only one calling for a date, but he's the only one she dreams about.


"Hey! You actually showed my face!"
Well yeah, you just look so completely in love in that photo, and I thought it was sweet.


You guys are moving at the speed of light, sure you don't want to slow down and enjoy it?


I'll take that as a NO.


Senior Year



"Tell me again why I need to be friends with these wack-jobs?"
Because you wanted a jacket just like his, remember? Besides, they may be idiots but they have connections. Who knows, they may be able to tell you something about where you come from. (Honestly, I doubt I'll ever tell her, but every now and then I need a carrot to dangle in front of her.)


Despite having had ten creativity since sometime in her freshman year of college, up until now Angelica has never sold a masterpiece. Her paintings all sold for around $489. I've never seen a sim take this long to sell a masterpiece even though she throws up the want often enough.


Of course Angelica graduated with honors, but before leaving college I have one little thing I want her to do for me... get fit! Oh, and of course make sure all her friendships are as high as possible.


Mission 1 accomplished now get some rest, tomorrow is a big day.


"Skylar, it's horrible, I just heard on the news that there was some sort of nuclear disaster in Eden and now the government is enforcing horrible rules on everyone. I'll never learn the truth about myself if everyone is too busy worrying about those rules to have time to help me. I have to go there and fix things. Will you wait for me?"
"Of course I will, you're everything to me, without you I'm just a townie destined to live out my immortal life in anonymity."


And so, after calling all of her friends and letting them know what she was up against, Angelica made her way to Eden. Luckily for her, her SS friends had built several safe houses all over the world and there was one available in Eden. In fact it was a rather nice one, as far as safe houses go.
