Oh dear, Arthur. What did you do this time?
Seriously, that is one scary face.
Madame Zorah: "BEHOLD THE MYSTERIES OF MY BAG OF ENDLESS HOLDING!"
I don't think you need quite that big a bag to just...
Madame Zorah: "MY ENTIRE HOUSE IS IN HERE, YOU KNOW!"
Arthur thinks presents from violently unstable old gypsy women are just about the best thing ever.
Arthur: "I wonder what would happen if I pet it?"
Arthur: "Oooooh, sparkly."
If you wish for grilled cheese sandwiches, I'm going to thump you upside the head. You can make those things yourself.
Arthur: "I wish... I had eaten more than 200 grilled cheese sandwiches! That would be so cool!"
Thankfully, the genie doesn't take this literally so Arthur's stomach doesn't explode from suddenly containing 200 grilled cheese sandwiches. One Lifetime Platinum coming up!
Arthur apprehended one of her top men? Really? I wouldn't have thought he had it in him. This one's a doozy, of course Arthur would go after the giant robot.
Once he gets home, his splendid victory over the evil giant robot must be celebrated! Violet and Arthur break out their best dancemoves for the occassion.
Woop! Now why can't you be this competent in your own town as well?

Violet: "Uhm, Arthur dear? Is everything allright?"
Arthur: "Superhero suit... wedgie..."
Arthur: "Superhero suit... wedgie..."
Arthur: "Whooo! Did you see that, son? I just absolutely smashed the competition! Your old man still has it going on, huh?"
Wensleydale: "I'm trying to read up on starting my own business here, dad. Not trying to watch you play Frogger. By the way, you control the frog, not the traffic."
Arthur: "Eh? Oh look, I got the bugger again!"
Wensleydale: "I'm trying to read up on starting my own business here, dad. Not trying to watch you play Frogger. By the way, you control the frog, not the traffic."
Arthur: "Eh? Oh look, I got the bugger again!"
If Wensleydale seems a bit stiff, you'll have to forgive him. He is on the brink of adulthood after all, and is trying to plan out the rest of his life.
Wensleydale: "Holy Simoly! I got hot overnight!"
Wensleydale: "Holy Simoly! I got hot overnight!"
Wensleydale Picklethorpe, ready to seduce you with a helping of his delicous hot soup. What on earth happened there? He went from slightly goofy (though cute in an awkward sort of way) to ginger heartthrob.
Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
Wensley might have taken over the cooking, but Arthur insists on making his own grilled cheese sandwiches. Didn't you wish you'd already eaten 200 a few days ago?
Arthur: "Always room for another, I say!"
Arthur: "Always room for another, I say!"
With the 50.000 his dad got from defeating the giant robot, Wensley finally fulfilled his dream: opening a restaurant of his very own. Welcome to the Garden of Eatin'!
Wensley hired Hannah Greengrass to be the hostess for his restaurant, just like they'd agreed when they were teenagers. Hannah is over the moon to have a steady income, even if she's not making much at the moment.
Hannah: "WELCOME to the Garden of Eatin'! We're absolutely DELIGHTED to have your custom today!"
Ivy: "Uhm Hanners? It's just me, Ivy."
Hannah: "Shhh! I'm trying to get a promotion for outstanding service here!"
Ivy: "Uhm Hanners? It's just me, Ivy."
Hannah: "Shhh! I'm trying to get a promotion for outstanding service here!"
Waiting the tables is townie Erica Moretti, a good friend of Wensley. They never made it to highschool sweethearts, but they're close buddies and she immediately agreed to help out when Wensley offered her a job.
She's still got some practising to do, though. Poor Nate.
Nate: "Not tha faaaccee!"
Nate: "Not tha faaaccee!"
Ahw, looks like someone's happy with his new restaurant :)
Meanwhile, Brie is having a bit of a difficult time. As a Pleasure sim, every fibre of her being is telling her to go out and party, but there's not really anyone around her age in town. She tries her best with the stereo in the living room, but it's just not the same.
To compensate, she's been hanging out with Freesia Fenwick a lot. Freesia doesn't seem to mind that she's younger, and they get along well enough. Brie has turned to gossip in an attempt to get some status with the older girls.
Brie: "I heard that Hannah only got that job at Wen's restaurant cause she ah... did him some favours, if you get my meaning?"
Freesia: "You're joking, right?"
Brie: "I heard that Hannah only got that job at Wen's restaurant cause she ah... did him some favours, if you get my meaning?"
Freesia: "You're joking, right?"
Hannah: "Hey guys, what're you talking about?"
Brie: "Oh eh... Hey Hanners! Nothing much really."
Hannah: "Why is Freesia giving me that nasty look? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"
Brie: "Oh no! Just that hairy time of the month I guess. Hey, I hear Riana absolutely adores working alongside Fox..."
Brie: "Oh eh... Hey Hanners! Nothing much really."
Hannah: "Why is Freesia giving me that nasty look? I didn't do anything wrong, did I?"
Brie: "Oh no! Just that hairy time of the month I guess. Hey, I hear Riana absolutely adores working alongside Fox..."
The old farts manage to entertain themselves at the family gatherings as well.
Fox: "Freesia, you said I could have a go after you lost another game!"
Freesia: "Shut it Fox, I'll beat auntie Vi's ass in this game, if it's the last thing I do!"
Violet: "Hahaaa young whippersnapper, got you again! How do you like them apples, eh?"
Fox: "Freesia, you said I could have a go after you lost another game!"
Freesia: "Shut it Fox, I'll beat auntie Vi's ass in this game, if it's the last thing I do!"
Violet: "Hahaaa young whippersnapper, got you again! How do you like them apples, eh?"
Arthur still flies off to protect Riverside Hollow from the many dangers that lie in wait for it (rampant skunks, escaped toy robots, menacing gypsy grandma's), but he's getting more and more creaky every day.
Arthur: "Listen Riana, I've been thinking... It might be a good idea to start training you up to take my place. My retirement isn't far off, and you've got young Fox to take care of as well..."
Riana: "Oh you bet that Foxy man needs taking care of!"
Arthur: "Mmm, indeed. Anyway, I was thinking you could move in with us for a little while so I could show you the ropes of leadership. What do you say?"
Arthur: "Mmm, indeed. Anyway, I was thinking you could move in with us for a little while so I could show you the ropes of leadership. What do you say?"
With a quick hug, Riana Quisenberry joins the Picklethorpe household. She'll be staying untill the end of the week, and then venture out and find a home of her own. Welcome to the playables, Riana!
A well-filled week for all concerned. Nighty night, Arthur!
Next up: The Greengrasses prove to be a fertile family.
