Yay! Feebil and Betty are Roomies now! Now that Feebil's got a new place we gotta protect it from anything. So Mr. Gastro promptly installs alarms at every entrance in the house! The Soviets could come at any time. Evil doesn't have a bedtime! With the spare money he goes and sells Betty's old TV and gets his roomate a new Plasma flat screen. Having only 78 simoleons left Feebil sees nothing wrong with this.
Now almost broke Betty starts to notice why her roommate could possibly be named Feebil. Scared into a cold sweat she asks what she could possibly do now! Though she takes comfort in Feebil's smile. "It is so great how far your willing to go to protect our new home Feebil." Our dear friend Mr. Gastro responds thus; "Of course citizen! As partial home-owner it is my job to make sure we are safe.
In spite of his namesake Feebil actually notices that Betty is nervous and sweating. He asks why, after all Malcolm just said they could by a vibrating bed and can have parties whenever they want! She sighs and says it is nothing she just sometimes get's tired of living under the terrible thumb of Malcolm Landgraab.
WHAT!? NO! Feebil became Roomies with her to get away from the Landgraab family. He inquires further and she says the only reason she is allowed to stay here at all without a job is because Maclolm allows her to live here with the express knowledge that she goes to every single one of Dudley's parties! Feebil asks why she doesn't just get a new job instead. She claims she has no skills and has only been able to party her whole life.
At that exact moment two people ring the doorbell at the exact same time! At the door what appears to be a Geisha named Theresa Thimblewit: http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Theresa_Thimblewit
Beside her is Abraham Lincoln in his boxer shorts!?: http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Thomas_Thimblewit
Feebil instantly greets them! Fearing that they might be spies he makes them feel as comfortable as possible. While Betty treats her to a Riff Trax of Twilight Honest Abe gets to talk to Mr. Gasto in the hot tub. When Betty hears her stomach rumbling she decides it's time to take Feebil's advice!
She attempts to make a few simple bowls of stew. You would think nothing would happen right? The stuff we got is already made and just needs to be boiled. So she gets stuff out of the fridge, uses the processor to cut stuff, puts it on the grill and...
The grill is set ablaze! With the fire quickly spreading she gets to work screaming at the fire. Hoping that the oxygen in her breath will blow the fire away! When that brilliant plan doesn't work she goes over to the phone and calls the fire department. All the while Feebil and Abe enjoy relaxing in the hot tub.
By the time the fire department gets there the inferno has already taken our dishwasher and our grill. When Feebil gets there and and angry Betty asked him how he could of not heard that he shrugs his shoulders. Feebil tells her he isn't worried about it happening again though, and he can probably get some more stuff in a bit.
With those words out of the way somehow he inspires Betty! She immediately goes down into the reading chair and picks up a book of recipes and cooking techniques. Happily looking at the great dishes that Sims of any level can cook, like Pop-Tarts and microwave burritos. She knows she can do better though, and by the end of the night she figures out how to make delicious chicken salad. Maybe...maybe some day she can get out of here!
Meanwhile Feebil is off selling more of her possessions. Specifically he pawns a nightstand off on some guy along with her rare hundred-dollar ficus tree. Ah she didn't need it anyway. He uses the instantly acquired ill-gotten money to buy himself a two-way mirror to practice his lines in. He proceeds to do so not aware that Betty had invited a friend: http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Fran_Foofaraw
Apparently she is the roommate of Freddie Forfaraw. The big guy who spied on him in the last place. Probably a Ukrainian spy! This isn't good! He pretends to not notice her and continues to practice his lines until she leaves. Crisis averted!
Feebil finds himself really tired after all that and hits they hey. Not long after Betty comes surprisingly not mad at Feebil for selling her huge rare plant or her furniture. Instead she excitingly tells Feebil that she learned great recipes today! Not realizing that her not boyfriend is asleep. She gets in the bed and soon falls asleep herself. It is probably for the best that there both asleep though. If Feebil wanted to "woohoo" like she does they'd need to buy a 10.000.00 Simoleon bed. Yep, only the rich are aloud to reproduce in Simatania.
After a quite night Feebil goes to work cranky because he didn't get his beauty sleep, complaining all the while when he goes to the state sponsored car pool. In a few hours Betty gets up and plays the guitar. Well maybe not plays plucks is a better word for it. Even though she knows she is bad it doesn't stop her from thinking that maybe...just maybe she has a destiny in entertainment!
As if to bust her dream right up Ol'Abe comes back again for a visit. After a few hours of their time the two of them enjoy some chicken with dirty leaves covering it. Though sense food from Abe's time was considered edible as long as it didn't immediately kill you he is very grateful for it.
Feebil comes back thinking of how to advance his career. He uses the money he got today to buy a workout machine and do a couple of weight-lifting reps. After all he needs to get in shape for the The great Road Warrior of the Street! With very little energy he gets some food, (the same thing that Betty got oddly enough) eats it and falls asleep on the couch.
Abe seems to be out of energy too. Waving goodbye to the sleeping Feebil. But before he can get out of the room he falls asleep on the floor. That's right. Abe Lincon is sleeping next to another man. Both of them in boxer shorts. Abe wakes up at about four in the morning screaming as loud as he possibly can. Surprisingly this doesn't wake Feebil up.
Hoping this doesn't become the next big political scandal and ruin his chance for the next election he runs away. Strange, he is really fast for a centuries old man is the only thing Feebil thinks while he hears him leave.
Waking up just in time for breakfast, a quick bath and a dip in the hot-tub he realizes he needs one more thing to get promoted. Three friends! More of a social life now than ever. Not only that be he only has one hour till work!
So what should he do now? Should he skip work, have a party and make friends? Should he make it clear to Betty that there only roommates and ask if she can help him in his career, (she definitely can. She would count as a friend if she didn't have a crush) should he go to work and throw a party after? Should he try to see if a relationship with Betty who is as unskilled as he was would work? Or should he try to repair the relationships with the spies to get "friends in high places"? Or should he try to score at the party, (though it is going to be hard. Sims hate people with low incomes which apparently still applies to Feebil).
Make your choice quick. The car is coming in an hour!
Whoo! Made it! Updates are coming Monday.
