strangetomatoThis is my entry for the first weekly challenge at the ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
simstorytellerscommunity. If you're not already a member of that community, you should go take a look. I'm one of the new moderators, and we've been reviving the community. The weekly challenge is one of our new features, and it's a great opportunity for storytellers to experiment. The challenges are usually pretty small and manageable, so it's easy to participate. If you make stories, or would like to give it a try, we'd love you to join in.
I took this challenge as an opportunity to try out a story idea that I've been considering for a short sim story. I've been thinking about crossovers between the Maxis neighbourhoods for a while, and thenwaywardgaze mentioned in a comment about something that she had done in a combined hood, and it was exactly the sort of thing that I was interested in writing a story about. So, after checking to see if it was cool that I take her idea and run with it, I set to work on a 4-5 part story. This drabble is a little teaser for that story, which will take place in Pleasantview, in an alternate reality to Strangetown, Here We Come. You'll understand why when you read it. I'll give more details on that story later, when I have it all set up.
The Sim Storytellers challenge this week was to create a 100 word drabble, using only one in-game pic, with "welcome" as the prompt.

“I knew you’d end up sick.”
She had crept up on him while he was stealthily puking his guts up, away from the noisy crowd. When he didn’t respond, she continued.
“Tough day, huh?” It was the most he had ever heard Lilith speak. “Our parents are a match made in hell, but it’s not all bad. I did end up with one decent step-brother.” He quietly burned with the embarrassment of having vomited in front of her.
He was a mess.
“Well, don’t talk to me, then.” She turned to walk away, then added, “Welcome to the family, Ripp.”
