Kiplan and Jeremy

Getting to Know You

2010-06-10T13:18:00.028-04:00

Ugly fatigues and horrible hair-do or not, Agnus is the richest woman in town, so Kiplan went right back to wooing. He even apologized for his stupid behavior at the party.

Kiplan was sorry, he didn't want to screw up his chances for wealth, and he found that he actually missed holding her. He asked if he could crash on her couch that night because he wanted to stay away from Jeremy for as long as possible.

Agnus forgave all, and said he could stay.

Meanwhile, Jeremy was enjoying the final chapters of his romance novel and grateful for the quiet house. Dealing with mess hall duty and coming home to a house full of Kiplan has been stressing him almost to his breaking point.

After Agnes showered, she kissed Kiplan goodnight and told him to make himself at home.

Kiplan stood in awe of the decor. Could all of this be his someday?

He made himself dinner in the top-of-the-line kitchen

And even practiced a few dance moves,

then headed upstairs to the guest room for bed.

But the only thing there was an old ratty teddy bear, and.... a baby's crib.

Why would a single woman have a crib? It gave Kiplan the creeps.

So he called a cab and left as soon as he could.

Kiplan Cleans House

2010-06-09T12:59:00.013-04:00

Kiplan doesn't mind cleaning and working, he just doesn't like being told to do it, so as a surprise for Jeremy, Kiplan got up early to clean the toilet. But when he heard Jeremy get up, he ran out of the bathroom, not wanting to be seen.

Jeremy went to use the toilet, and almost barfed.

"I just want you to know that the toilet is even more DISGUSTING than your underwear! And trust me, that is quite an accomplishment!"

Kiplan knew he needs to pull his own weight because he also hates living in a dump, but he had to wait until Jeremy left to clean up.

And while no one could see his good deeds, Kiplan scrubbed the kitchen sink,

made the beds,

scrubbed the toilet,

and even decided he needed a job. Maybe the criminal career track? "Nah."

Who needs a job when you have a rich girlfriend on speed-dial?

Kiplan went over to Agnes's house, both to see her and stay away from Jeremy until he cools down, but was surprised to see her in Army fatigues. Kiplan's mind raced for a minute, "I thought she was rich enough to never have to work? ....maybe she is one of those people who likes working..."

"A handshake!?" Kiplan thought, "Well, I had best heat things up a bit...but man does she look ugly in uniform."

Jeremy's Worst Day EVER

2010-06-08T12:27:00.003-04:00

Jeremy came in from doing yard work to find only disgusting rotten mac-n-cheese to eat.

Then, while he was going to prepare some decent food, Kiplan snuck up behind him

and scared him. "Gah!" But... at least he isn't in his tighty-whities...

After lunch Jeremy was super stinky. But then he discovered the broken shower.

Gah! he is tired of this crap.

But while Kiplan danced in his room, Jeremy fixed the shower.

While dancing, Kiplan got a great idea of how to take over the world, so he went to share the news, but Jeremy yelled at him. He was naked after all...

When Jeremy got dressed, he asked Kiplan why he barged into the bathroom like that. Kiplan tried to explain his amazing mastermind plot, but Jeremy cut him off.

Through clenched teeth, Jeremy said "You just don't get it, do you?"

"You are an embarrassment!"

"There were people here last night! I didn't even know they were coming, and you didn't even have the decency to clean that disgusting toilet!!"

"Not to mention, you are evil... and are constantly sabotaging me..."

...and ALL YOU EVER DO IS PRACTICE YOUR DANCE MOVES!!!"

"I AM SICK OF IT!!! It's like you are trying to ruin my life!"

"Whatever. I'm a great dancer."

Who needs a clean toilet, anyway?

Sabotage

2010-06-07T12:14:00.002-04:00

Jeremy went to pay the bills and saw a bunch of disgusting weeds in the yard, so he got right to work on them. The paper boy told Jeremy he was a loser. For a minute he thought it was Kiplan.

But, no. It was just the evil little paper boy.

Meanwhile, Kiplan was starving and too lazy to fix anything. So he tried some of the leftover mac and cheese. Ugh! Rotten!

But he still felt too lazy. Oh well, rotten food is still food.

Then Kiplan took a shower and right after he was all clean and dressed, it broke.

He knew Jeremy had been working all morning and getting grungy and would probably want a shower later.

Whoops.

Kiplan Throws a Party

2010-06-06T11:00:00.002-04:00

The party goers will be here any minute, so Kiplan is making some snacks, and Jeremy has no idea that anyone is coming. He is just trying to relax after work.

The guests start arriving

and the party is officially started when the pizza comes.

Agnes is really hoping to have a good time with Kiplan, even though she hates crowds.

Jeremy is glad to see that at least Kiplan invited his girlfriend, Veronica, to the party. Maybe this wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Or was it? She may have commitment issues, but she did agree to be exclusive, didn't she?

Kiplan loves parties, and some new girl complimented him out of the blue. It must be the spiffy jacket.

Kiplan never realized how many pretty girls there were in town.

Agnes is trying to be patient, but Kiplan has not said a word to her yet.

maybe she better just go.

Before Veronica heads out, she finally gives Jeremy a hug

and introduces him to her roommate, Jade. "You are lucky to meet her, she barely comes away from her computer to stop writing, let alone to a party," Veronica says.

Before Agnes leaves, Kiplan runs after her. Finally, he is going to pay attention to her! But all he does is return the stereo she asked him to fix.

Agnes just turns and leaves without saying a word.

Kiplan is Found Out

2010-06-05T13:57:00.012-04:00

Early the next morning, Kiplan turns up the tunes in his newly decorated room

and dances his heart out.

He thought he was alone, but Jeremy hadn't left for work yet, and he discovered Kiplan's secret.

Jeremy was livid and when Kiplan refused to tell him where he got the money to pay for the new furniture, Jeremy screamed at him "How can you be so evil?!!"

For a second Kiplan didn't know what to say.

Then he pleaded with Jeremy to understand, that to live the good life has been his only wish.

That, and to have a disco ball.

Then Kiplan reminded Jeremy that he is running late to work.

"That's right! I forgot to tell you, I've been promoted to mess hall duty!" Jeremy exclaimed, forgetting all about Kiplan's unexplained funds.

Then, after Jeremy left, Kiplan had a hearty evil laugh before his morning nap.

Jeremy arrived home ecstatic from his new promotion from latrine duty to mess hall duty. He would much rather deal with messes the top half of the soliders make rather than their bottoms.

And in all of the excitement from the promotion and $480 simolean bonus he decided to take Veronica out on the town.

They were enjoying the evening and had their first kiss.

Jeremy could really feel himself falling for her.

But when he mentioned something about being exculsive Veronica grudgingly accepted to be his girlfriend but told him about her commitment issues. Jeremy told her that they could work it out together and that he would give her all the time she needed.

2009-08-08T11:15:00.001-04:00

Jeremy was at his new job and instead of watching T.V. in his underwear to pass the morning, Kiplan got an idea.

He put his clothes on and went across the street to meet and greet the neighbors.

When he was invited in by his neighbor Bruce he was horrified to learn that this was the Wainwright's home! The home of his Arch-nemesis Susan Wainwright, herself!

It took Kiplan very little time to begin complaining to Susan about everything- mostly the hideous appearance of their home.

Soon Susan left for work and while Bruce watched television in the bedroom, Kiplan walked around the house and felt the sharp pangs of jealousy. His own home did not have vibrant green plants, (unless you count the crab grass) and they certainly didn't own a bigscreen t.v, or a plush carpet.

When he walked into the dining room his jealousy only got worse. The music and the artwork was breathtaking. That's when his jealousy got him thinking.

He remembered his secret pink diamond worth nearly 2,000 simoleans and he decided it was time to cash it in...

...and do some redecorating. In his room only, of course.

He made sure to include the vibrant green plants, contemporary artwork, a nice stereo, and much more comfortable bed. He then spent the rest of the afternoon lounging around listening to his favorite pop music and thinking about how great it is to have money.

Jeremy was excited to start his new career in the military

And After defeating the thief the night before and all of the working out he has been doing he felt ready.

He worked hard at the base all day and did his job well. It shouldn't be long until his superiors notice him.

After arriving home from work he felt a celebration was in order so he called Veronica and invited her out for dinner.

They had a pleasant evening. They got along so well and Jeremy started to really like her. He felt so good about his new job and his new girl.
Nothing is going to stop him now.

A Thief in the Night

2009-08-06T13:00:00.002-04:00

Kiplan has been wanting to see a ghost again ever since the ones in their house got busted, so early in the morning he went to the cemetery, but didn't see any, so he began fishing in the eerie looking pond instead.

Meanwhile, outside their house on Maywood Lane, a burglar was sneaking through the bushes.

Jeremy awoke immediately and bravely went directly outside to defend his home.

As soon as he opened the door he pounced on the theif like a wild man.

The theif put up a good fight,

but in the end it was Jeremy who was the victor.

As the theif ran away in fear, Jeremy was no longer nervous about his first day of work in the morning. He was strong and fast and brave and the military will love him. As long as he can stand latrine duty long enough for his superiors to notice...

Jeremy was getting nervous about his first day in the military. Although he was just starting out on latrine duty, he knew he would need to be stronger and faster if he wanted a promotion. So he planned to work out for most of the day.

After getting bored of exercising at home with Kiplan watching, Jeremy went to the gym. He was surprised at how nice the facility was, and how heavy the weights were!

After his workout and shower he went to the snack bar in the fitness center, and Veronica, the girl he had ran into the day before, walked in through the door. Jeremy was pleasantly surprised.

After talking with her for awhile he decided that she was possibly the best looking girl in town and even though she probably had a boyfriend, he had to know. So he asked her if she was single, and she said she was.

Veronica didn't want to interrupt his meal any longer, so she excused herself, but before she left they exchanged numbers and she hugged him.

Agnes asked Kiplan to meet her at the beach that night. When he arrived and found her waiting he took her hands and exclaimed his joy to be with her and his surprise to hear how the soft rush of the ocean was exactly the same as the sound of his own heart beating for Agnes. (He had heard that line in a movie once.)

After blushing Agnes looked at Kiplan quite slyly before she ran off towards the old peer and teasingly shouted back to him "You're it!"

When Kiplan caught up with her he pulled her in close and kissed her. Then, still holding her hand, he asked her how she would feel about being exclusive with one another. She said that to be with him was her only wish.

Then Kiplan leaned in to whisper in her ear. He told her his only wish would be for the sky to be filled with shooting stars just for her so that she might always have the wish of her heart.

Then he kissed her goodnight and quickly went home, hoping to leave her begging for more.

The Next morning Jeremy awoke with a wish to get a job in the Military Career, so he went to the paper and found one. When that wish was fulfilled he had a hankering to eat at the Bistro.

So to celebrate his new job he took Kiplan out for lunch.

They sat in silence for the entire meal and just shoveled food.

Then Kiplan got a call from Agnes. While he droned on and on about her convertible, Jeremy went off to a different table to read.

Then a strange woman came up to Jeremy and introduced herself as Veronica. They had a pleasant but short conversation. Before he had to leave, though, he learned that Veronica is ambitious and her favorite color is "spice brown."

Kiplan woke up the next morning and, while Jeremy was still asleep, pulled out his pink diamond to stare at it in wonder.

Kiplan had found the uncut diamond in the backyard by the tombstone on move-in day and he had secretly sent it in to be cut and appraised at a whoppin' 1,871 simoleons. Now he is keeping his precious gem all to himself for when he will really need it.

Kiplan hid away his diamond again when he heard Jeremy in the bathroom. And when he came in, he began to talk to Kiplan about the need for more money to come into the house.

Not wanting to share his precious diamond, Kiplan looked in the newspaper for a job, but he didn't really feel like signing up to be a Test Subject at the science lab, and the "job hunt" was only for appearance's sake. He didn't need Jeremy harping on him anymore. Besides, a job is not a way to get rich.

All that thinking about money problems led Kiplan to think about Agnes and all her bundles of money sitting in the bank, so he called her up for a little date.

Agnes agreed to meet Kiplan at the pool

They laughed and flirted and played there all day.

When the sun went down Kiplan walked Agnes the few blocks to her house.

Agnes brought Kiplan into the foyer to say goodnight. Kiplan complimented her home and thought mischieviously to himself about how he could see himself living there.

Agnes must have been enjoying his company, or perhaps she is very lonely, because somehow she likes Kiplan and she showed him as much by pulling him into a warm embrace.

Then Kiplan, seeing the glow in Agnes' eyes, leaned in and sweetly kissed her.

Watching all those stupid romantic movies with Jeremy had taught him a few things and by the time Kiplan said goodnight, Agnes could barely catch her breath.

Kiplan and Jeremy continued to watch the movie they had found on TV and were just getting into it when....

...the t.v. broke.

Jeremy went insane. It seemed that his whole world really was crashing down around him just like he thought.

Then Kiplan went in the kitchen and broke the sink.

Jeremy couldn't handle it. He just did not want to deal with the sink. the toilet. the t.v. and who knows what else might break next. So he went in his room and continued to read "A Magnetic Attraction"

Meanwhile Kiplan was also disgusted, but he thought it might be cool to clank a wrench around the sink. But he was unsuccessful.

So he decided to poke a screwdriver into the front of the TV.

Jeremy had gone to bed, but couldn't sleep. He went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and surprise, surprise- the toilet overflowed. He could hear Kiplan breaking the TV even worse in the other room and knew that the kitchen must be flooded.

He knew what he had to do to keep his sanity.

He called work and quit on the spot. He hated working there- even if it was just two days- it sucked. And he was needed around the house today.

While Jeremy went from room to room fixing the broken things, Kiplan cleaned up behind him.

and Kiplan oversaw the project.

and Kiplan broke other things.

It's a good thing one of them is a handy-man.

And by the afternoon everything was fixed and Jeremy had something to be proud of.

Kiplan was so happy to see the TV working again, he started watching it immediately.

And Jeremy looked in the paper for a job but didn't see one that felt like the right fit for him. There's always tomorrow. But for now he can work on honing his skills and making new friends.

2009-07-30T12:00:00.002-04:00

Jeremy woke up for work and went straight to the bathroom. Upon flushing the toilet it got clogged for what must be the zillionth time and Jeremy became enraged, thinking the toilet had a personal vendetta against him because it never clogs for Kiplan.

Anger turned quickly to despair.

Despair turned to hysteria.

But then the carpool came and honked so he ran as quickly as he could out of the bathroom, knowing there would be a big mess to clean up when he got home from the toilet overflowing.

But he didn't run out of the house too fast not to notice Kiplan and wonder to himself "Who eats icecream for breakfast in their underwear?!"

Jeremy then endured another day at work polishing podiums and running errands for his boss.

After work Jeremy was feeling insignificant. He has not gotten any recognition at work for all of his long hard hours. He has lack of sleep. He has no friends. He has no money. And he has no self respect. Certainly he doesn't want to polish podiums for big-wig pompous jerks and unclog toilets for the rest of his life. But what can he do?

Jeremy was starving by this time but he couldn't bear the thought of going home to see Kiplan in his underwear again, probably just watching t.v., with a big puddle of toilet water seeping into the hallway by now, and a bunch of dirty dishes all over the counters. And on top of it all, Kiplan would probably just be complaining. So Jeremy just decided to chill at the park, grill some hotdogs, and maybe make some friends.

Just as Jeremy was finishing his hot dog someone with a picnic sat down at his table.

Jeremy was ecstatic for the opportunity to make a new friend. His name is Jared Frio and Jeremy discovered that he is a natural cook so Jeremy decided to talk about Stu Surprise and then Jared talked about his favorite foods.

Then Jeremy was shocked to find himself being made fun of by Jared. What a jerk!

If he stayed he knew he would end up feeling even worse about himself thanks to his cruel new "friend", so Jeremy ran to the curb to catch a cab home.

When Jeremy got home he was astonished to see that Kiplan had cleaned the entire house. And after Kiplan's horrible day of being beat up by Susan, he could not have been happier to see the smile on his brother's face.

Jeremy sincerely thanked Kiplan for cleaning the kitchen and mopping up the bathroom of his own free will. He really had no idea what it meant to him, and Kiplan could only think of how all the money coming into the house was thanks to Jeremy, but he didn't say anything.

Neither of them wanted to share their humiliating days with one another so they talked about their favorite TV shows and Jeremy asked if any good romantic comedies were playing tonight.

So they sat down together to watch, both just happy for a moment of serenity and the feeling of acceptance from a friend.

2009-07-29T12:00:00.001-04:00

Kiplan awoke the next morning feeling good about life. He went to the kitchen and ate ice cream for breakfast and then began to lounge in his underwear, reading a book, when he heard a knock at the door.

It was Susan Wainwright.

Kiplan has not met Susan previous to her knocking on the door, but moments before, Susan had been greeted by Jeremy outside the house before he went to work. And it was at that precise moment when Kiplan took an empty ice cream carton to the garbage (in his tighty whities! Gah!) and Susan must have spotted him.

Kiplan invited her in with no delay and began talking and doling out all his charms, but unlike Agnes, Susan did not appreciate his attempts.

Kiplan realized that Susan has the snob trait.

Kiplan felt hurt. He has the over-emotional trait which sometimes, as we will soon find out, is not a good combo with the evil trait.

He protected his own feelings by mocking her snobbery.

Then he began to mock her scientific pretention, her pristine lab coat, and boiling beakers.

After the mocking was some shouting. After the shouting was some back-handed slapping.

And before he could control himself, not that he ever really does, he declared Susan his arch-nemesis.

That's when they broke out in a full on fist-throwing tumble right in the middle of the living room floor. And Susan kicked his trash.

Kiplan was shocked. Here this snobby woman was, with her stupid blue socks in high heels, and her dumb lab coat, who had knocked on HIS door, and for WHAT?! He would rather he just stayed in his briefs, comfortable in his bed, and read his book.

Kiplan told Susan to leave.

So she did. And on her way out, she smiled. Or was that a smirk? Perhaps she just felt like beating someone up, and when she saw scrawny little Kiplan in his underwear by the garbage that morning she knew that today was the day.

Kiplan was very relieved to learn that Agnes is single. Not that a boyfriend or husband would have deterred him from his goal, but it does make things a little messy. And Kiplan was even more relieved to see how Agnes was positively receiving his pick up lines and compliments.

When Agnes went to the powder room, Kiplan creepily stood by the door the whole time and then scoped the room to see his alternatives.

When she returned they spent the rest of the afternoon flirting and learning more and more about each other.

But, when Agnes began to feel a little crowded at the library Kiplan, not wanting to press his luck, bid her adieu.

With the money that Jeremy had worked hard for all day Kiplan went out to dinner and then made new friends with Parker Langerak on the Corsican Bistro patio.

Standing in the moonlight, laughing with his new friend, thinking about his new girl, and feeling super cool in his leather jacket, Kiplan felt the happiest he had in a long time.

Meanwhile, the exhausted Jeremy went home straight from work, ate dinner alone and silently went to bed.

2009-07-27T07:43:00.008-04:00

Jeremy ran out the door this morning, and jumped into the car, excited to start his first day of podium polishing.

This little town never seemed so big to him as he climbed the steps of the court house. Maybe he can begin to make a name for himself along with a paycheck.

Meanwhile, Kiplan decides to go explore the town for himself and start working towards his lifetime goal of being a Gold Digger. In order to achieve this goal he must find and woo the richest woman he can find, followed by a marriage built on false love and lies, and the sooner she dies the better so he can swim in her money for the rest of his miserable life.

He begins his search at the library.

He sidles up to the nearest woman, and continues to stare until she notices him.

The woman he happened to spot first is none other than Agnes Crumplebottom, part of one of the richest families in Simdom. And for once, his fake niceness seems to fool someone and they actually hit it off. What luck!

So Kiplan, knowing that Agnes was rich, and that she could be "the one" to fulfill all his dreams, moved in a little bit closer and warily asked "Are you single?"

When Jeremy wakes up from his morning nap he considers him and his brother lucky to be alive from the fire earlier that day. He looks forward to this last day off before he starts work.

To relax and enjoy his day, he reads his book, "A Magnetic Attraction"

...Watches his soaps...

And walks from room to room in a general stupor of hopeless romantic thoughts.

Jeremy paid little attention to Kiplan, even though he was always there. Lurking. Watching.

Plotting.

and thinking about the oven catching into another glorious blaze.

When Kiplan woke up the next morning he was already in a bad mood.

He made so much noise in the bathroom grumbling about the cold shower, that Jeremy woke up from the couch and took the opportunity to go sleep in the bed.

Kiplan was left to fix his own breakfast and he was doing quite nicely by himself. He even took the opportunity to fix his favorite food. But, while waiting for his waffles to bake in the oven his mind was starting to drift elsewhere.

Kiplan forgot all about the waffles and engrossed himself in the television.

When He finally remembered his breakfast, it was too late. The oven, and soon to be the whole kitchen, was engulfed in flames.

Hearing the screaming and the crackling of the flames, Jeremy woke up and ran to his brothers aid. He extinguished the fire, saving the kitchen, the house, and both their lives, and with the insurance money meant to go towards a new oven they could now purchase the much needed second bed.

After the fire was out Kiplan began daydreaming and a new wish appeared. Kiplan now wanted to "See the fiery ghost of Jeremy." Forget about gratitude. Kiplan was obviously mixing his fascination with the fire, the previous day's ghosts, and his obvious jealousy of his brother into a sick fantasy of seeing him burn in a ghostly blaze for all eternity.

After eating leftover Macaroni and Cheese for breakfast, Kiplan, still pondering over his brother and the fire, went directly to the bookcase and began reading " Murder in Pleasantview." Coincidence?

After all the drama of moving into a haunted house was behind him, Kiplan took the opportunity to elaborate on his money problems to his friendly neighbor.

Jeremy knew the only solution to the money problems would be to go straight to the paper, so he did, and found a job in the Political career as a Podium Polisher. It was demeaning, but his dream job would come around.

After finding a job, Jeremy fixed the toilet.

Then, while Kiplan lounged around watching TV, Jeremy cooked them both a good quality Macaroni and Cheese.

After dinner, Kiplan had nothing to say but complain about the dirty dishes. Jeremy politely suggested that Kiplan do the cleaning up and, after some grumbling, he did.

And since they could only afford one twin-sized bed when they moved in, Kiplan snuck into it first without a word. Jeremy didn't complain, though. Now was his chance to catch up on his soaps and he could nap on the couch, and sleep in the bed in the morning.

By the time Jeremy had had enough of the ghosts the local ghostbusters had already caught wind of their problem and had offered their services. When they came, they looked strikingly like the Repo men, not that the Gallant's had ever been visited by them before...

When this ghostbuster stepped from her truck she immediately laid her eyes on the root of the trouble- the gravestones, and with fierce and swift steps she strode towards them.

The ghosts were defenseless against her.

In mere seconds, the gravestones, the ghosts, the moanings, and all the general spookiness that surrounded the home vanished. The ghostbuster left with a warning to pay all bills on time, or she might have to visit again.

And with the ghosts gone by dinner, all was back to normal.

Kiplan wasn't very enthused to see that not only were there GRAVES in the backyard of their new home, but there were GHOSTS to go along with them. He despairingly concluded that that was the only reason they could afford this dump.

Kiplan tried to follow his brothers lead- be brave and pretend that life is normal. So he did what any normal sim does; check the mail. To his frustration the ghosts were seemingly swarming around the front yard and he could take it no longer.

After dashing inside, Kiplan tried to control his breathing. His emotions sometimes overwhelm him and he wondered how he could ever live here with these horrific ghouls.

Jeremy, on the other hand, thought this would be the perfect opportunity to discuss his favorite food, Stu Surprise, and perhaps even swap recipes.

The specters, however, were more keen on doing what specters do best: basic haunting, moaning, chain rattling, and spooking. But this, much to Kiplan's relief, is where Jeremy drew the line.

Ahhhhh, Sunset Valley! It is home, the place of our roots, and for Kiplan and Jeremy, the place where all the adventures begin.

Kiplan and Jeremy are brothers who, due to financial need, must share a home. This was the best place they could afford, 60 Maywood Lane. The decorations are nonexistent, the plumbing is leaking, and the furniture is bleak, but it was either here or a cabin lovingly named "mosquito cove."

Meet Kiplan. Parties at the beach every weekend. Long nights out with the ladies. Fast cars. Rollin' in the money. Plush mansions. Indoor pools. Worshipped by every guy in town for his bling, and wanted by every girl for his suave. Or, at least that's how it will be once he snags and marries the next old lady with a heavy purse.

Meet Jeremy. Romantic Mr. Fix it who gives swoon-worthy kisses and is brave in the face of any danger. For Jeremy, the world is simply begging for more Jeremy! He would be the perfect ANYTHING; boyfriend, husband, father, Firefighter, Police officer, Marine, or all around general Super-hero. Jeremy doesn't have much ambition though. He would be content to simply repair and tinker and study the night sky for the rest of his life.
