Yvette does believe in fairies

And then... she wants to try to test some fairy powers. She might've been able to get something from Titania with more open ended questions, but with how normal sims are, it would have just gotten her an answer like 'Fairies can fly!' or 'Fairies can sense emotions!' or something. Frankly, she thinks self reflection and experimentation to be both faster, and less aggravating.

Okay. The obvious thing fairies should be able to do, at least to her, is meddle in plant stuff. She specifically had to grow a special plant to prove she was worthy to become a fairy. Can she do a magic to her plants? She tests it on one of the extra bluebells, the one grafted with strawberries to make grapes. It has confirmed her research, and is summarily expendable in comparison to most everything else here.

Sheeeeeee cannot. Not obviously, at any rate.

Yvette pouts. Ugh. Fine. Dinner in the form of emotional vampirism first, then. She should go see what it's like, and maybe she needs some fairy nutrition to do fairy magic. It'll take time for her house to add her other, smaller house, she might as well spend it productively and avoid putting herself in an emergency.

She gets a book from one of the shelves - they all still kind of suck, but it's still fun to metaphorically rip them apart - tucks it under her arm, then flies off to the nearby park. It's time for some reading, light literary evisceration, and people watching.

Is there anyone that looks obviously upset, as she passes the time murmuring her criticisms of this book's terrible pacing and bland structure?

Permalink

Not obviously so but maybe she could try to look for less obvious signs? Maybe her shiny new senses, if she gets close enough.

Permalink

Ehhhhhh, walking up to emotionally sniff people seems kinda sketchy. She'll just read (and critique) and regularly look up to people watch, actually. Does anyone that looks emotionally distressed show up in the next couple of hours?

Permalink

Yes! Here's this lady who shows up and starts getting gradually more annoyed as she repeatedly looks at her phone.

Permalink

Aha! Yvette to the (maybe) rescue!

"Hello! You seem angry, what's going on?"

Permalink

"Hello. Got stood up. This girl I met on Cupid's Corner was meant to meet me here half an hour ago and no fucking show."

Permalink

"Wow! That sucks a lot! Do you want to feel less pissed about it?"

Permalink

"I want her to show up. ...wait, what?"

Permalink

"I'm a fairy, I can eat emotions. So if you'd like to be less angry, I can help."

Permalink

"Oh." She looks down at her phone, frowns, then looks back at Yvette. "Okay."

Permalink

Okay! Emotion sense: on!

Is the eating process for devouring this lady's anger straightforward from here?

Permalink

It is. It's very easy, actually. It's right there, she can feel it, and all she has to do is pull a little bit. There's a small light show, the emotions leaving the woman like glowing red mist and entering Yvette, and then she's...

...kinda pissed off, tbh.

Permalink

Yep. About what she expected. Not, actually, as bad as drinking the serum of anger at the research facility, but: yep that sure is anger that she now has. Tasted kind of spicy, actually, which - is weird, but she supposes makes sense.

She takes a deep breath, and attempts to direct the anger at the nebulous force that created this world and made emotions so damn fucking pliable to outside forces, then tries on a smile and aims it at the lady.

Permalink

"Better?" she asks, the smile almost fitting. It's got a little edge to it, but not too bad. (FUCK you, nebulous forces!! She feels how she wants to feel, you assholes!!!)

Permalink

"Huh. Yeah. It does feel better. I'm sure she had a good reason not to show up and if she didn't it's better that I learned she's a flake now rather than later."

Permalink

"Yeah! Have a good day, okay?"

Unlike HER, who needs to figure out a way to get rid of this anger - gym, maybe, she hasn't done her exercise for the day, and probably lifting heavy things is good for this sort of situation? - but that's irrelevant. She used her sketchy emotion vampire powers to HELP a PERSON, she wins at being a fairy.

Permalink

Unfortunately she can't just go to "Gym", as that is not a place, but there are many facilities that advertise themselves as gyms that she might instead be satisfied by?

Permalink

Yes, thank you, OBVIOUSLY she wants to go to a gym, not a building ominously labelled 'Gym.' Ooooh this one has punching bags. That is a very anger appropriate activity.

She spins into athletic gear, complete with boxing gloves, and then is going to punch this punching bag until she feels better.

Permalink

A tanned, fit guy with a goatee in a tight t-shirt approaches her. "Hey, gorgeous. Don't think I've seen you around here before."

Permalink

Oh. She's. Being hit on. Huh. Somehow this hasn't happened before, probably because she's a consummate workaholic who hasn't held still for anyone to manage it.

She doesn't really know what to do with this situation, except that her bizarre attraction circuits are absolutely silent over this guy. Also that he's mentally much less capable than she is, and thus the idea of having a relationship with him would feel exploitative.

He's brave enough to approach a woman who is punching the shit out of something though, which is probably a point in his favor.

"Hi. I haven't been here before. I'm Yvette," she says, perfectly polite, and then resuming her punching.

Permalink

"I'm Don. Are you new to the neighborhood?"

Permalink

"I've been here a couple of weeks." Punch. "I just hadn't checked out the local gym." Punch punch.

Permalink

"I come here pretty often," he says, lifting one arm to flex and show his muscles off. "Has anyone shown you around the neighborhood yet?"
