Build-n-Share Challenge #233-235 • Venus
‘How lovely.’ You think, stepping back from hanging the picture Xantha sent you. It was such a wonderful thank you for building her the perfect home. “It looks great there doesn't it Rose?” You ask.
Rose nods happily, “Such a talented young lady. She will do well I think.”
“And we will be able to say ‘We knew here when…’”
Rose laughs as the front door opens. In walks a tall, elegantly dressed young man. He neatly wipes his feet and removes his coat before turning to you. A polite smile crosses his face and he bows in greeting, “Good afternoon. My name is Victor VanEllis. I was wondering if the architect is available for a consultation? Or will I need to make an appointment?” His warm voice suggests a well educated young man. Between his boarding school accent and the expensive, tailored suit, you begin to sense a lucrative contract in the offing.
You step forward with a smile, “I’m the architect.” You offer your hand, introducing yourself. “Why don't we talk in my office?”
After settling in, Victor smiles. “It's so good of you to see me on such short notice. I’m in a bit of a jam and I’m hoping you can help me.”
“I’ll certainly try,” you reply, smiling as Rose brings in the tea tray. “What seems to be the trouble?”
“Its a bit of a story actually,” He pauses as Rose serves him a cup of tea. “Why thank you dear lady.” He takes a sip, then praises her tea. Rose blushes happily and leaves the room. “So nice to have a good cup of tea. Now then..
“When I was a child, my family lived near another with whom we were friendly. They are of a noble bloodline, while my family is… how do they say it? Nouveau riche? What I mean is, my grandfather built the family fortune and my father has maintained it. But I intend to build it up even further.” He pauses for another sip of tea.
“Very ambitious” you say, leaning back in your chair to listen.
“Ambition is a family trait, you might say.” He smiles, “The family I mentioned has a daughter, named Venus. She is as beautiful as her namesake, in mind, body and soul.” He smiles, joy at the thought of her lighting his face. He places his hand upon his chest, “I have loved her from childhood. The fates have blessed me in the fact that she has reciprocated.
“Over the years, it has not dwindled, despite being separated by boarding schools and growing… disagreements between our families. We have been able to keep in contact via letters, emails and even video chats over the internet. Now, we wish to marry.
“However her family has announced that, despite our family’s wealth and prosperity, we are not good enough for my Venus.” A flush fills his face, forcing him to take several calming breaths.
Despite feeling pity for the young man and his love, you are a bit confused as to what he could want. Surely not to act as mediator or go between…? “And how can I help?”
“Venus’s family have promised her to another of noble blood, but she does not wish to acquiesce to this. We have made plans to elope here. My family retainer, our butler Jarvis, is going to bring her here in 3 weeks time. I have come ahead to secure lodgings. As I want her to be comfortable, I've come to you to prepare suitable lodgings for my Venus. I’m told that you are both quick and capable, delivering magnificent results.”
“Thank you.”
“My family is entirely supportive of our plan, for they have hoped for a union between Venus and myself for years. They have advanced me a some money. Between that and the bonds I have cashed in, I want to build a house suitable for my love, so that she might live in the manner to which she is accustomed.”
Letting out a silent prayer of thanks that you wont have to help smuggle her out or anything like that, you smile. “A house we can definitely help you with. What kind of budget did you have in mind?”
“I have $256,595 for this. I would like the house to be on a large lot and finished with high end details and modern updates. No less than 3 rooms, as we intend to grow our family. I will require an office with which to work out of. Venus and I are simply mad about Victorians. We want one in a traditional style, with traditional interiors and layout. Of course, full landscaping to compliment out beautiful home. “
“This is something that is very doable in 3 weeks.”
“I've heard so many good things about your company, that I have no doubts. Thank you.” He stands and offers his hand.
“My pleasure,” you reply, shaking his in return. “Rose will show you out.”

OPTIONAL CHALLENGE: http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8037912#
Victor Robert Van Ellis is an up-and-coming gene therapist whose ambitious nature and hopelessly romantic heart are causing him to fetch his bride from the clutches of her foreboding family. This Capricorn is hot-headed enough not to care, knowing full well that Venus loves him. He also has luck on his side, and his manners are always proper, which he hopes will lessen the bad feelings between the two families earlier rather than later. He has a passion for lobster and billiards. He also has a passion for French music, which Venus also shares.
Venus Artemis Van Ellis is a real beauty that men find irresistible! She shines with natural star quality that brings many admires as well. She remains friendly to all she meets. She has a nurturing side that makes her family-oriented, and she wants five or six children. She is a Sagittarius whose favorite color is lilac ( the purple hydrangeas were planted around the house because of this).
Jarvis Anton is the family butler that Victor is "inheriting" for a wedding present from an old uncle. Jarvis is a Virgo who loves Indie music and all reality shows on TV(he said he would quit without a way to keep up with his favorite shows). He is a neat perfectionist who is extremely handy around the home. He has a green thumb is a natural when it comes to cooking.
