Transcript below the cut:

Ezra: Thanks for coming over. I know I’m probably the last person you wanted to see. Atlas: Not the last. Definitely the bottom of the list, but not last. Ezra: [awkward laugh] Atlas: …

Ezra: Um, so, how are you and your sister? Atlas: Are you kidding me? Ezra: What? Atlas: Can we cut the bullshit? We are not old friends catching up. Just tell me why you’re here.

Ezra: I moved to the Bay a few years ago. I swear, I had no idea you were out here, let alone that I was dating your sister-in-law. Atlas: I don’t understand. You left? Turned your back on all of it? Ezra: Yes. The town, the church, everything. Same as you. Atlas: Why? What changed your mind?

Ezra: I wouldn’t even know where to begin. But Henry was a big part of why I started questioning things, and then— Atlas: Henry? Ezra: [nods] He had a really hard time after you left. I realize now that talking him into staying was the worst thing I could’ve done. He was so unhappy. Atlas: Was? Is he…?

Ezra: No. No no no, sorry, he’s okay. He’s good now. Atlas: [sigh of relief] Ezra: About a year before I left, after a particularly awful night, I gave him what I could of my savings and helped him leave.

Atlas: So, how do you know he’s good now? Ezra: [pointing] Behind you.

Ezra: He traveled all over and sent me postcards along the way. Atlas: … Ezra: He found you, in San Myshuno. Atlas: Really? He never contacted me. Ezra: He said he saw you with someone, and that you looked happy. He didn’t want to disrupt your life, so he stayed away.

Ezra: Eventually, he settled down in Henford of all places. He has a small cottage where he raises chickens. Prize-winning eggs apparently. Atlas: [chuckles] That’s perfect. He always dreamed of a quiet life in the country. Sprawling green hills and blue skies and a bunch of smelly animals. For a while, he was obsessed with the idea of raising llamas.

Ezra: Really? He never told me that. Atlas: Not surprising. You always had a way of shitting on his dreams, tearing them down. Ezra: [incredulous] I did not. Atlas: Oh please, you did so. He thought the world of you, and you used him.

Ezra: I— Atlas: You are a self-righteous asshole who told yourself that you were looking out for him, “guiding him”, but the truth is, you made him feel small. In fact, I think you liked that he was gay because it made you feel superior. And now, what, you want a goddamn medal for getting him out of there when you were the reason he was stuck there in the first place?! You never cared about him. You just needed to ease your own conscience because you could no longer deny the damage you caused.

Ezra: You have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m the one that’s been by his side all these years. You’re the one who left! Atlas: I had no choice! And I tried to take him with me. But you stopped him. You made him feel like there was something wrong with him. You didn’t stay by his side because you cared about him. You kept him around to feed your fucking ego.

Atlas: How bad did things have to get, huh? How bad before you realized you couldn’t “fix” him? Before you realized you’re the one who fucking broke him?!

Ezra: Get out of my house. Atlas: Gladly.

Atlas: Stay the fuck away from me and my family. That includes Iris and Spencer.

AVOIDING COLLAB LIMBO™️: OR, HOW TO ACTUALLY MAKE THAT COLLAB HAPPEN

a strength of Royal Simblr™️ is how common and easy it is to do collaborative projects. our stories and characters can be delightful on their own, but there’s something special about building a plot, a relationship, a character, an event, a whole entire world with someone else. among other things, it’s also a good way to make friends !  however, not everyone approaches the project the same way; this isn’t always a problem, but it can become one when it prevents a collab—especially one between simmers who enjoy each other’s work—from getting off the ground. you might know the feeling. you and another simmer express the desire to do something together. it’s exciting, especially if you admire their story or just think they’re a cool person. this is the beginning of something new and fun, until … the conversation never moves beyond that starting point. 

welcome to Collab Limbo™️

why does this happen? how do we avoid it?

gabe (@armoricaroyalty) and i have compiled some best practices in a brand-new guide. yes, yet another Royal Simblr Guide. the components of the guide are simple—so simple it boils down to three words and two phrases: 

intentionality

familiarity

reciprocity

“yes, and”

“no, but”

The Investigation of Geoffrey Landgraab

Two nights ago I turned on my game and decided to see what Geoffrey would authentically lead me to in Strangerville. Originally my plan was to have him gather evidence, complete a dossier, and get inside a lab where he may or may not have been consumed by the mother plant, but I didn't want to do heavy storytelling. I decided to just play and get some ideas because sometimes that spikes up my creativity more especially since I just wanted this to largely be gameplay.

When I first switched to Geoffrey he was on the verge of death in San Myshuno. Lowkey took this as foreshadowing, but I got him dressed and sent him on his way.

I decide to go to Strangerville's library to have him ask civilians about their awareness of the town. However Geoffrey...was watching a sexual act between Katrina Caliente and Marcus Flex.

I won't tolerate this behavior, so I send Geoffrey outdoors to find more upstanding people. An infected sim is walking around, so I have Geoffrey speak to him.

'Consume the fruit of the mother and know peace.'

Now, despite being lead detective we can all agree that Geoffrey is not the smartest guy around, right? Which had the gears in my head turning, like: "is my Geoffrey going to be willing to examine the fruit, and take a bite of it?" After a few moments I decided yes. Yes he is.
