A Legacie Tale: 1.1

 

 

Hello, and welcome to A Legacie Tale! Let's not be bothered with boring introductions and delve right in, shall we?

 

Allow me to introduce the founder of our legacy, Miss Lana Legacie herself. Lana is a young, family-oriented woman who enjoys the artistic aspects of life. Lana is very friendly, ridiculously neat, and incredibly ambitious. Her goal in life is to become the Leader of the Free World. She's all about the politics, that Lana. Oh, and she has 18 days before full adulthood (missing 3 days for some reason).

Lana: Am I on a dating show? What's that voice?
No, Lana, there is no dating show.




When Lana came to Sunset Valley, she had very little. So she set up camp at a large empty lot, barely able to afford the basic necessities. However, we were able to purchase a lawn sprinkler to keep her at least somewhat entertained.

Lana: Are you joking me? A sprinkler?
If you think I'm going to make a fool out of myself running around a sprinkler, you've got another thing coming. And who are you, anyway?
We'll wait and see what happens when you find yourself desperately seeking entertainment.

Lana: It's called the movies. Theatre, art museums!
Those things all cost money, my dear. You have no money.



Lana: Okay, when I said I wanted to be a politician, I was talking candidate, or mayor. In NO way whatsoever is a "podium polisher" a member of the political career track.
We all have to start somewhere!




Right after being hired for her oh-so-special job, Lana heads to the library to read up on some charisma.

Lana: And then she sat down. And then she opened the book. And then she read the first sentence. And then she turned the page. And then....

Sarcasm, much?



Lana: Mysterious voice, could you please do something about the people staring at me by the doorway? They're creeping me out.
I wish I could, but alas, I am only a voice.




Lana: Basically, I'm looking for someone who will be able to give me a big ring. Like, I'm talking a HUGE rock. At least 3 carats. Preferably larger. What do you do for a living?
Xander: I'm a criminal...

Well, he doesn't have bad genes.

Good luck on your first day, darling! Polish up those podiums! I have faith in you!

Lana: Somebody just throw me in a lake.
Quite the optimist, I see.

Promotion?

Lana: Now I get to count ballots. Oh, the joy.

Lana: Look, I know you don't know me, but I need to move up this career ladder fast. Which involves  a lot of sucking up to my boss. And my boss doesn't have time for you, so can I just take you to dinner?Jocasta: Of course not. I don't know who you are, and you are certainly not the charmer.Lana: Well I didn't want to take you, anyways! The nerve of some people.
Jocasta: Get out of my house and go back to your lawn!





Lana: Hey guess what?! I'm a campaign intern!
So failing at the dinner task didn't do too much damage?

Lana: Let's just say I have some major skills.

Lana: So, here's the story. I wasn't gonna go for you because of the whole, "I'm a criminal" thing. Because that would probably look bad, me being a politician and all. But I need to start having kids according to the voice in my head, and I'm not having the best of luck. So basically you're kind of my fall-back plan. That cool with you?
Xander: Uh, you're not exactly sane, are you?

Why, Lana! What a positively adorable outfit. SO flattering.

Lana: Oh, hush. Besides, I'm a Yes-Woman now, anyhow! Movin' on up!
Perhaps you could put a little effort into other aspects of your life. Such as, say, finding a husband?!

Lana: How's THIS for effort? HMM?!
Let's see.
1 - You could have at least changed your outfit.
2 - I don't appreciate the attitude.
3 - I'm really not 100% on this whole dating a criminal thing....

Lana: He - He rejected being my boyfriend!
Commitment issues. Aw, Lana, I'm so SORRY! That's just awful.

Lana: Why don't you go interrupt somebody else's thoughts. Because frankly, I don't appreciate a single thing you ever say.
Hmm... pity.

Lana: Hi, I'm Lana, and I was just promoted to a City Council Member. Will you be my husband?Liam: Well, no... I happen to already be married.



Lana: Hi, I'm Lana, and I was just promoted to a City Council Member. Will you be my husband?Parker: Uh. Creepy...


Off you go, dearie. Change lives today! I see you're still living on the lawn. Seeing as all you do is work, I'd expect more from you. Tsk, tsk.

Lana: It's Friday, it's Friday, it's Friday. There is no voice in my head, there is no voice in my head, there is no voice in my head. And I'm NOT A FAILURE!

Lana: So, even though I failed miserably the last time, my boss has asked me to take you to dinner because she can't make it. And I am in desperate need of promotions. What do you say?
Justine: You're funny. Of course I'll eat with you!



So, you could afford a fancy schmancy bed, but no walls or floors?

Lana: Look, at this point I realize you probably aren't going to leave me alone. But must you criticize absolutely everything I do?

Yes, of course I must. I have nothing better to do with my time.

Lana: So, could I have your money?Justine: I beg your pardon?Lana: I need campaign donations or something to get promoted now.Justine: I'm sorry, but I don't really care about your sob story...Lana: I thought we were friends!Justine: You took me to dinner to get in good with your boss! That HARDLY makes us friends! You used me! *runs off in tears*


Lana: Well hello! And who are YOU?!
Grady: My name is Grady. I'm your maid? You invited me here for a, campaign party? You don't remember any of this?
Lana: Is that so? That's FASCINATING! Go on...
Grady: That's actually...about it....nothing else to....say....

Lana, shouldn't you be getting to know your potential donators?

Lana: Shut it.
Grady: Pardon?
Lana: Oh, nothing. I don't have a voice in my head or anything. No, no, no, that would be loony...
Grady: Right. I'm gonna...go....elsewhere....

I don't know how you did it, Lana, but you managed to get over 23k in campaign donations yesterday, and all you did was chase around your maid.

Lana: AND I got promoted to a Local Representative today!


I suppose we'll round off Chapter 1.1 at this point. Will Lana ever find a mate? Will she resort to marrying a criminal with commitment issues? Will she marry her maid? Will she spend her whole life sucking up to her boss and earning promotions? Will she EVER get off the lawn?!

I hope somebody read this and at least enjoyed it somewhat. I know I'm not the best legacy writer, but I definitely have a good time doing it! I'll try harder to make it more interesting. I've been out of the game for quite awhile and this is my first Sims 3 Legacy. I'll get 1.2 up as soon as I can! Thanks a million if you read!
