Strangetown extras: Ripp is obsessed with his own mortality

[strangetomato]

Now, I know that I've been known to InSIM Ripp into a variety of ailments, and I've even killed him a couple of times to get the shots I needed for the story, but is that any reason for him to become fixated on death? I'm starting to worry about his mental health, just a little. Check out the fear that he rolled during a recent session at the Grunt house...

Hmmm. Does this happen often? I've never seen it before. I mean, it seems reasonable to fear your own death, and maybe a little obvious, but does Ripp have some reason to think that he might actually die? Is it because of the recent trend of deaths in the Grunt family? This doesn't seem very healthy to me.

The other wants/fears are typical. He's been fairly obsessed with becoming friends with both Frances and Nervous, based on his recent interactions with them, and he always rolls wants to flirt with people (that one is a cheerleader - a favourite booty call of his), and to buy various instruments. The only typical want that's missing is "woohoo in bed". Yeah, it's always there and it's always "in bed" (I think he just likes to pass out afterwards, since he's so awesomely lazy). Also, Ripp's not really a freshman. He's a senior. (InSIMing is to blame again.) Don't get the idea that they'll never, ever graduate from LFT. *snicker* I may be slow, but I'm not THAT slow.

Anyway, I thought that it was pretty amusing, so I thought I'd share.

Well, at least it's not in his wants section! My Stella keeps rolling wants for being struck by lightning or being saved from death. Those knowlege Sims (or in her case, aliens) are really freaky sometimes! It is rather fitting, even if it is a glitch though.

Well the only other thing I think it might be was if he has met the other Ripps that are roaming around the place lol.

How come it says he's a freshman? Is that a glitch too?
I was so tired of having selfsim in college so I made her graduate as fast as I could and then made Ripp drop out. He was an art major, which I didnt want him to become anyway. And well, I was really excited to get him into his new house anyway. It's so him and I can't wait to show it off.

Yes, you do have a good point there. A want would be a very bad sign. I do enjoy those crazy knowledge sims wants, though. They just want to know what it feels like to die... what's so weird about that? *snicker*

There are a couple of other Ripps in the greater Strangetown area, but they are different ages. I don't even really need them, now that I have InSIM, but they're still there. And the Ripp in the fear panel is definitely the same Ripp that has the fear. Oh, Ripp...

No, that was caused by InSIMing too. I had turned him back to a teen for a while for some photos, but I turned him back for this screencap. Maybe the InSIMing had something to do with it. I have no idea.

I can't wait to see how you've decorated his house.

Yep, they want to be abducted, become a werewolf, they just want to experience EVERYTHING!

Ah, so there are going to be a scene with him as a teen again, like a flashback? Interesting.

I really really want to show it off now! I think I will have a little extras thing posted next that has nothing to do with the main story because I have other things I want to show as well.

Yeah, I needed to show the Grunts in their younger forms again for a little something I'm working on. I was considering it as an actual chapter, but it might be more of a separate thing, though still related to the story.

I'd be interesting in seeing that, if you post it.

It's up! :)
