Abernathy Cromwell--Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou-Chapter 6

[PeregrineTook]

What appears to be merely a lone hill disrupting the landscape of Dragon Valley,



is actually a secret entrance to a hidden lair.
This lair is a place of solace and refuge for an ordinary Sim,



and his extraordinary companions.



It was never their intention to be heroes,



but somehow, heroism seemed to seek them out.



These are their stories...

I am so excited! Congrats on being the first story on the forum! I need to make badges for things such as this, haha.

It looks super promising, Pippin. I love the mysterious shots. You know how to set a stage.

Scary horns and soap colored Sims! This is awesome!

Thanks, hearts!  I'm glad the mystery of it is playing off effectively.

Yep, soap and horns.  What could be better?  Seriously, though, I appreciate your enthusiasm and I look forward to getting this story going.

[TheDoctor]

Wow, this looks good. Can't wait to see more!

[firewhiskey]

This looks really cool, PT. I look forward to reading more.

P.S. I like the Law and Order outro. Hehe

Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou-Chapter 1



"Enjoying the view are you?" asked the Professor.



"What?" asked the green-skinned demon. "That is, I...yes. Lovely view. The...trees...they're lovely."
But the Professor was distracted by that point.



Kullu, waiting for more razzing from the Professor, turned his head only to find the Professor focused on someone else.
"You find that woman...attractive?" Kullu asked.
"No," the Professor replied. "Well, kind of, but that's not what's important."
"Is it, perhaps, the hysterical sound she's making that is drawing your attention?" Kullu inquired.
"Yes," answered the Professor, "that's called crying."



"Ah, some sort of sign of weakness," posed Kullu. "Or perhaps a mating call?"
"Weakness," the Professor quickly offered. "It invokes a horrible plague which curses 1 out of every 5 male Sims."
"What is this curse?" inquired the demon.
"Sympathy," came the answer.
"Ah, and I suppose you suffer greatly from it?"
"Greatly."

"Pardon me, ma'am, but you seem a bit upset," the Professor prompted, gently, but awkwardly.
"Yes, your face seems to leak water," offered Kullu.
Despite the social failures of both of these males, the woman, Susie Sackholme, divulged that she was distraught over her missing brother. He was last seen in this park late last night.



The Professor, who was merely headed to the library for some research, decided to help her...against his better judgment.
"I thought we didn't get involved?" inquired Kullu.
"We don't," the Professor responded, unenthusiastically, "now go try to find some information about this missing Mason Sackholme fellow."

[KaseOfHearts]

Hahaha, Kullu is the best. My, that young girl is leaking! Curious.

Great start, Pip! I love it!

[Squirt]

I love it! Very intriguing, Pippin. I'm looking forward to this story. In the meantime, shall I populate the board with some of my stories? I get the feeling that Dobbinsworth will be right at home here...

[KaseOfHearts]

You populate, Squirt. You populate the crap out of this place!

[Squirt]

Population!

[firewhiskey]

I like the professor's mutton chops. You can always trust a man whose head hair cannot be disassociated from his facial hair, I always say.

Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou-Chapter 2


Something was afoot. Had it been two things, it would have been afeet, but I digress. Abernathy had given in to his sympathies for poor Susie, and thus, he and Kullu began their investigation.
"Why don't you interview that seemingly observant young boy, Kullu?" suggested the professor.
The demonspawn replied with, "Can I interview the attractive blonde gal with the red dress instead?"
"No."



"So, small boychild...thing, there's a man missing," Kullu began.
"I was missing a stamp the other day!" responded the excited young man, "but I found it in the bathroom. Did I tell you I collect stamps?"
"Umm, no, but..."
"Stamp collecting, also called philately, is a rather fascinating hobby," the bot continued. "Would you like me to tell you all about it in excrutiating detail?"
"Not really..."
"OKAY!!" the boy exclaimed, rattling on into the marvelous mysteries of the world of philately.

Meantime, the professor was having a bit more success.
"Greetings," he said to the pale young lady.
"Well hello," she replied. "If I may be so bold, you're quite handsome."



"Yes you may and yes I am," he replied, "but in more important matters, there is a missing young man and my friend and I are investigating."
This got a very serious look form the young woman, and she then leaned in as if to whisper conspiratorially and said, "It's the beast."
"No, I don't think Kullu did it," responded the professor.
"No, the wicked beast that haunts this park," she said. "No one's gotten a good look at it, but I'm pretty sure it's that nasty werewolf that moved into town recently...about the same time that sightings of the beast started happening."
"Kullu," the professor called to his companion, "did you hear anything about this beast?"



No he hadn't, but he'd heard all he could stand about stamp collecting.

[KaseOfHearts]

Bahahaha, poor Kullu found a perseverating child. This literally my job. Well, if I could find work. Which I can't. This is not about my unemployment. It is about you, Pippin, and your lovely, lovely story!
