#and yes I was BRIEFLY tempted to let Clement get chomped

[victorluvsalice]

And, well, at first, everything remained hunky-dory for a while -- Victor continued harvesting the greenhouse, safe and snug in his winter coat; Alice continued her meditation -- having a BIT of trouble with her levitation, but it's all fine, she got her feet back under her quickly, metaphorically speaking -- and Smiler moved from push-ups to bonsai pruning, giving the little tree a windswept shape and getting up to Gardening level 8 in the process! :) I thought everyone was going to wait out the weather just fine --

And then I saw Clement going outside for some reason. For a split second, I thought he'd FINALLY decided to go home...but then I saw a cake in his thought bubble.

And then I saw Toothy. In the front yard. In the middle of the blizzard.

With its cake tongue sticking out.

...I am not gonna lie, I was tempted to just let things play out for a moment. XD Because the first chomp never kills a Sim, only drains their emotions, and I was pretty annoyed with Clement for refusing to take a hint and leave. But I quickly decided, "No, I can't let that happen to Father Winter" and instead had Alice stop her meditation, activate her werewolf super-speed, call Clement into the hallway before he could get any farther --

And then ZOOM over to Toothy to feed the damn thing while Clement went back inside the house. XD Disaster averted! After that, though, I thought, "Okay, I want to open the store anyway, maybe it's time to get out of here before Clement gets into something ELSE he shouldn't--"

But then I saw Shadow coming into the house absolutely FILTHY after doing her business, and went, "Okay, FIRST the dog gets a bath." XD So Smiler took her upstairs and gave her a good scrub while Victor and Alice hung out downstairs, Alice licking herself clean (to Clement's disgust -- you see, that's why you don't get to live here, you're too judgemental about the werewolf stuff) and having synchronized kitten pets with Victor. XD Soon, though, all the pets and humans were clean and content -- which meant it was time to head off to San Myshuno!
