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.

Hehe, that is so very Ripp-like!

I heard that sims fear their own deaths after playing with the handheld game for too much.

Yeah, I know. The poor boy... he should probably be in therapy.

Well, Ripp does play with the handheld game a lot, but he wasn't doing it just before this happened. He was playing with the fish, though... hmmm.

I think another side-effect of playing the handheld too much makes the sim fall in love with themselves. That would be extremely Ripp-esque.

I agree. I would love to see him roll that want. It's very Ripp. I wonder if anyone has ever had a sim roll the want to woohoo with themself? That would be the great. Nothing like a little self love...

Serves him right if those fish figure out a way to get back at him for his "Mr. Shark" antics!

*snicker* He was doing the Mr. Shark thing nonstop too. He loves it. He's the only one of the Grunts who'll do it, since it depends on how playful the sim is. Tank and Buck are both as serious as they come.
