Sireta's Blog - My First Day

(This is Sireta Aren's blog, an account of starting out in a new home far from where she grew up.

It's a case where I play the game and tell the story, so I have no idea whatsoever what's going to happen. So, if you're interested in storytelling, the Sims 3 or both, follow along with Sireta and me as we check out what EA has given us. I'm not using cc, pose boxes, or a preplanned story. I haven't turned off the plumbbob, headers or balloons. It's just what comes out of the box. I'm even using the in-game camera. -Lachesis)

I’ve never done anything like this before, but what the hell. People are doing blogs all over the place. For the time being, I’m doing this from the library because I don’t have a computer at home, I can’t afford one.

Me? I’m Sireta Aren and I live on Dagon. I just completed my last session with the Guildmasters of Science. I’m unusually young to have done so, I’ve only seen eighteen springs. I’ve completed in two years what would normally take five. Yes, I’m a genius, lucky me.

I’m also a loner, perfectionist, lucky and a hopeless romantic. Aren’t I just blessed by the Spirits?

Let’s see, my favorite music is pop, but I don’t have a radio, so much for that. I adore key lime pie and my favorite color? Hot pink, hot damn.

I’ve just moved from the inner mountain region of Tyr (also known as Dragon Island because of its shape) to the northeast coastal town of Perseus. Such an insane change. Not to mention, I’ve left my entire family behind.

Okay, so I bought this tiny house on this tiny piece of land and have furnished as best I can. I even bought a bike so I wouldn’t have to put gas in a car. Magique would be nice, but very few people on Tyr know magique, and I believe it’s unheard of here in Perseus.

What you see behind me is my total living space, so first things first, a job.

Well, thank the Spirits, there was a job today for the position of Organ Donor – just perfect – that will get me started in the medical career I so want to excel in.

With nothing better to do, I decided to wander around the town for a bit. Try to get to know the area and the people.

Seriously, could that baby be uglier? Talking to Yumi, I found her boring. This does not bode well for my first day.

I stopped and talked with Bella Bachelor for a few minutes, without a doubt this entire town was hit with the ugly stick. I don’t think there’s any chance of meeting Mr. Right here. Although, I’m still younger than most people starting out, so I have plenty of time.

I have to admit, it’s quite beautiful here and what few people I’ve seen are very friendly.

I went to the park and saw a guy who at least didn’t completely look like he’d been hit with the same ugly stick as the rest of the town playing chess, so I decided to join him. We spoke very little, just enough to pass names. I must have been too good for him, though, because I looked up from concentrating on the board to find him gone. Without a word. Hum...

Okay, cool. Did I say there was no magique? Well, I guess the taxi companies know some because they teleport you into and out of the cabs.

I’ve heard tales of werewolves living in the forest regions of Tyr, I’ve never been near a forest so I wouldn’t know, but with a moon like that, I have to wonder. What do you suppose it looks like when you can see both moons at once?

Shit, burnt mac and cheese, now that just sucks, but I can’t afford to throw it out, so I’ll just have to eat it. Then off to bed as tomorrow’s my first day of work.
