To Trap A Mermaid

So I've been showing my tester sim in the usual new pack thread but ideas were a flowin' not sure how long this will be but rather than spam that thread I was going to share this. So first I'll share a little background before moving in on the new stuff so no need to go digging for my pics but you know if you aren't looking at that thread you could for the other updates those are nice :smiley:

So this is Keon he was one of those "premade" cas sims I believe since he was just needed to test out the off the grid lot trait I really didn't put much effort in him. Anyways here he is with his little sister Alanna that I made in cas with genetics, they also have a dog named Teppei. He was at the bar of one of my new builds and finally realized he left her unattended in the ocean...yeah he's that type.

Alanna wasn't afraid she was more upset that her playtime was interrupted..she's a baby, not a fool.

Soon, like after Alanna fell asleep in the sand as they stayed all night he met Maranda, she's another tester I hadn't planned on keeping, she's a mermaid and so is her husband and new son they are close and yet like to try and drown one another. So as things go she ended up cheating though something after her son was born and aged up into a teen she's very glitchy for some reason she can exist but it seems interacting with her now is an issue. She may be pregnant but I may need to keep away from her...aside from the fact that Keon doesn't care that much.

Look how that woman disapproves...she's right to do so lol.

One night while playing bartender, Keon met Nalani so that's where the story becomes a story.

Keon is excited to see Nalani the next morning, she was excited to, she loves her home in Sulani and it's people but she still cares to meet sims that aren't there. It changed of course when he seemed to be more than another new friend, with peaceful normally trustworthy people she was used to the young mermaid was more than a little naive. She recognized she was a little lonely in the sense that she saw so many with their families that she didn't have in the same way. Leaving her open to his affections, she wondered why he left his baby but he only assured her his sister was fine, true enough she sat playing peacefully next to Teppei she had nothing to be concerned over.

She...was just glad she met him.

"You're beautiful when you smile." he offered lightly.

"You think so?"

"I think you're beautiful all the time, but mostly."

She only laughed at that but it was nice to hear.

(Don't mind the dude there I think this lot had that glitch people were talking about but he means nothing here and yes we'll be pretending he's not there.)

Nalani was comfortable around him again perhaps because she didn't know better, this experience was too much for her even still as a grown woman her choices were her own.

No matter what they might lead to.

Keon knew he'd need something better to keep her attention, it was time to leave.

The thing about off the grid lots no one wants them it's easy to up and go, he got power added, though he liked the private space he wanted to make sure it was clear he was there. He'd fix it up make it nicer so should they meet any "friends" no one will suspect his strange behavior or question his quickly growing obsession. When he called Nalani she was happy to see he made his home on the island instead, that was perfect she could see him and the ocean all she liked.

"I'm so glad to see you, this is some place you have here..."

"That's a nice way of saying I've got work to do." he teased as she grinned.

"Maybe a bit."

"That's where you come in though, I don't know the first thing about decorating maybe you could help?"

"I could if you tell me what you like?"

"That won't matter if you stay with us...I do need help with Alanna after all just a few nights." starting slow to reel her in...so to speak.

It was sudden but Nalani thought little of it, that was the island way after all one's home was anothers as long as they brought the family with them it was family just different from what she desired.

"Oh a sleep over, that sounds fun I could get to know your sister and make sure she has a good room for a little girl." she teased.

She only gave him a little kiss to agree, she'd love to.

That alone kept him satisfied, for now.

He's amazed to have her, starry eyed and such he wouldn't seem so odd..
https://i.imgur.com/jOJtXDL.png
At least to those not aware of the dangers of life anyhow.
https://i.imgur.com/YIn59Bl.png

At this point I've done a little makeovers here and there..
https://i.imgur.com/cLlVTsM.png
Nalani prepares to teach Alanna about life...on the island anyways, and she's aware he'll need a lot of help to turn the shipwreck into a proper home. Alanna was fascinated by her.
https://i.imgur.com/ZD9xG46.png
And she in turn couldn't help but love the little sweet pea, unaware...obviously, of the other renovations that Keon had prepared.

A little tank he hoped he wouldn't have to use but it was waiting for the only occupant it needed.


So yeah went there ha..stay tuned.

  • Ok! So I finally got over here @RedDestiny92

    The house is so cool! I can't believe it's that big inside :astonished: Nalani is making it beautiful! and it's wonderful that she's there for Alanna. Keon seems a bit off, if you know what I mean, lol

    I do really miss seeing him here though. He's so expressive! It can be just about any expression, but still, they are fun to see :smiley:

    I wish Kash's little bubble wasn't about to burst. I hate it when other Sims get hurt because of the actions of someone else!

    His face when his son takes the selfie is awesome!

    And I agree, I don't have MCCC and Ian and Lawrence run off to do that constantly! :wink:
  • @AlwaysAsking yeah its pretty big as if the ship broke in parts and landed on itself, Nalani will make it a home if she can, Keon will come back he has things to keep the story rolling after all. He really is lively isn't he? Kash will be fine for now but what can you do it happens and all one can do is move on we'll see what he does. I just barely caught that pic too, I almost didn't rotate then caught Kash with the look lol. That's right it was toned down but I know when I'm clicking on a bed or looking for collectibles, I wish it happened more.
  • @AlwaysAsking hey time for another update hope things are going well :smiley:

    Kash living his best life under the obvious assumptions..
    https://i.imgur.com/OchIsiW.png
    Though to her credit she kept far from Keon and he didn't come after her.
    https://i.imgur.com/nPLHDnQ.png
    He looks quite good with his tan.

    Keon's son is welcomed into the world as far as Kash needs to know Jaron is his son, and lucky enough he isn't so obviously someone else's son to look at him.
    https://i.imgur.com/CepM039.png
    Though he seems to know something is up.
    https://i.imgur.com/HtI8j6D.png
    Moving on for a moment, I think I mentioned them Penela and Halon they are much more reclusive mermaids in the sense that they party with the islanders but prefer a quiet life. Each carrying a sign of the other Halon's chosen tattoo are angel wings as his wife is precious and flawless in his eyes...she's also faithful and cheerful so sim flawless also. Keon met Panela that way but when she quickly left and her husband came looking he kept far back.
    https://i.imgur.com/PlNLvLb.png
    A wise choice.
    https://i.imgur.com/hYZ72el.png
    Not much story here I just like how this necklace looks in game...their son Aperius was born.
    https://i.imgur.com/uwhtSyT.png
    Now back to the main couple, Nalani is far into her pregnancy and as cheery as ever, perhaps blinded by the sweetness of both new and first love a bit. Though Keon only treats her and his sister, even sweet Teppei with love and kindness she has no issues clinging to him and while she clings, he has no issues in general.
    https://i.imgur.com/XwBpzM8.png
    Home from work he's glad to see Alanna moving about on her own as Nalani has taught her.

    "You've done a great job with her." he said softly.

    "I hope so.."

    "You have, she's talkin' up a storm and not so weepy."

    She giggled.

    "I'll miss her weepy days.,..she won't be a baby forever."

    "Yeah her birthday is coming up but we have our child too."

    she smiled glancing down for a moment affectionately.
    https://i.imgur.com/xIjktJ6.png

    "Ah yes a new little one to keep me busy...still."

    "And you know not like she's running off to get married." he teased though delighted she was so attached, sure he was jealous for a moment but he relaxed knowing that it was partially his fault for not keeping close.

    Now he was more at ease.
    https://i.imgur.com/XScdgRM.png
    After all all the more reason for her to be busy at home, with no need for anyone else they could adopt some kids if she wanted she was fine being his right here.

    "Time for a story Alanna."

    "Cindaella Nally.." Alanna chirped cheerfully, truthfully her baby talk was still a bit jumbled, but Keon and Nalani understood her just fine, Nalani loved the nice nickname she had given her.
    https://i.imgur.com/6fxmavD.png
    Keon was careful not to wake her up when he woke up before her no reason for her to be out roaming around without him.
    https://i.imgur.com/bit4FT8.png
    Taking his runs became normal what he hated was the locals growing familiar, on one hand they left him alone he wasn't just some creepy guy in a shipwreck he was the quirky neighbor "full of life". The problem, they saw him with Nalani he couldn't stand them asking about her, it made him crazy. All he could say was that she just enjoyed her solitude...or she was visiting other friends, so she was fine just busy and they didn't need to look out for her.
    https://i.imgur.com/mUmCAjw.png
    Only going back and seeing her waiting for him calmed his nerves, though he still thought a few needed to go missing.

    "Have I ever told you how precious you are to me?" he asked.
    https://i.imgur.com/L9EQfGj.png
    He barely chuckled as she gave him a smooch, he smiled then, also so affectionate, how she ought to be, but only with him.

    "Hey now careful.."

    "I'm always careful, hey fill the baby kick he's delighted!" he laughed her enthusiasm as she huffed, though he readjusted before she could move.
    https://i.imgur.com/dWca63W.png
    "Though I am a lot heavier than I used to be..."

    "Pfft, you haven't gained a pound."

    "You're touching my stomach..."

    "That's the baby's weight though..."

    She giggled then.

    "I heard from the islanders that's a wise thing to say to a pregnant woman..is that true?"

    "Well do you feel the need to hit me?"

    "Not a bit."

    "Then I'd say so." at ease laughing with her as he found that ticklish bundle in her side they got ready for bed.

    While she was in the bathroom he moved around the room sighing to himself, in thought.
    https://i.imgur.com/VyXJEJ8.png
    When she rejoined him asking him to come to bed he could only think on nights like this he felt a little guilty keeping her to himself, these mixed feelings really got to him.
    https://i.imgur.com/qUDfPmy.png
    It passed soon enough.
    https://i.imgur.com/GDQapB0.png
    https://i.imgur.com/sAOaxvg.png
    Alanna was beyond thrilled to meet him too, the look says "Dis is my nefoo and I'mma protecc him."

    hehe
  • Oh my God Keon!! WTH?

    Some of them "should go missing"?? Some of who/what should go missing? Locals?

    Seriously, I really am conflicted about this guy. I know what that kind of obsession can feel like! But whoa! That's going a bit far! lmao. He's just so cute when all he wants to do is be with her, and hold her and tickle her, etc. but then that dark side constantly shows itself!

    Why do I have a feeling that Kash is going to end up being some sort of super hero or something? or perhaps Penela?

    Anyway, their little guy is cute! And the hugging shot is adorable :smiley:


    Oh yeah, I forgot to say that Kash laying around naked is pretty funny. And do you mean that Kash might know the little guy isn't his?
  • @AlwaysAsking he's very much a ticking time bomb waiting to go off I guess you could say, he doesn't want people getting closer to Nalani than he is. His obsessession is both formed yet growing hard to say how it may go, his sweet self may be what is left of his sanity or he isn't completely lost and is just misguided as the story goes on well you'll see. I'm not sure Kash is hard to read too though only because he's in the dark the guy isn't crazy just caught up in this mess, gotta love the tots ha. I mean that Jaron is a mermaid and may sense something is off should have specified. :smiley:

    Well ..... I'm going to choose to believe that he isn't completely lost yet :smiley:

    Let me have my delusions! Lmao :smiley: :sweat_smile: :wink:

    I'm looking forward to seeing more!
