Scooter 2.8 - I'm Getting Older Too

[moveobjectsron]

Welcome back to the Scooters. We're closing in on the end of this generation which makes me :-(
But let's enjoy while we can, okay?

 

 

Mat and Josie tried going out to a nightclub just to see what the kids are doing these days. They ended up sitting away from literally everyone else.

Josie: So this...is pretty awful isn't it.

Matangi: One hundred percent. I am far too grizzled for this kind of environment.

Josie: Should we...go?

Matangi: Just one thing....
 

 

Choreographed dance bc I HAVEN'T SEEN IT IT YET.

Josie/Matangi: Hit you wit dat d-du d-du du AH YEAH AH YEAH

 

Waffle you fucking did not.

 

Who can say where the road goes
Where the day flows
Only time

 

To help with his aspiration, which I have decided to complete along with his generational goal, Mat went across the street to the Heckings' house. As it turns out, they have approximately sixteen hundred dogs.

Matangi: Brent, Brant...! They said they were gonna get their girls spayed!

 

...another part of his aspiration involves playing with ghost pets, so he headed for the animal cemetery on Deadgrass Isle.

Matangi: I have seen Pet Semetary too many times to be even remotely chill in here.

 

Thankfully we didn't have to stay far too long at all before a little ghost pup shows up.

Matangi: Hi, little buddy. How are you?

Ghost dog: (curious, ghostly whine)

Matangi: (shivers) Whoa, weird, cold nose.

 

Randy is a science girl through and through. I got her a chemistry kit to make stuff with.

Randy: Hopefully I don't forget about these until I'm like, 50 or something. Now that'd be embarrassing.

 

Gave Cookie a ball so he could focus on something other than disturbing the shit while Mat and Randy worked on her latest project. Because of course I had to.

 

Why ya sad, Josie?

Josie: I can't help but feel that...everyone hates the cat I adopted.

Yes, Josie. Everyone hates that fucking cat.

Josie: (sigh) It's just a weird inkling of feeling I get...

 

Matangi: Mayor Whiskers, I have to take you to the groomer's. Your claws are starting to clack on the floor!

Mayor Whiskers: (I refuse! Unhand me! This is who I am!)

 

THIS SEEMS VERY UNSAFE?

Randy: Yeah, yeah, I know what I'm doing.

But just in case, I do have the fire department's number.
 

 

IT'S IN FLIGHT I'M SCREEEEEAMING

IT'S LITERALLY SO UGLY I HATE EA SO MUCH YOU GUYS

Josie: Roll over!

Randy: Appa?

Matangi: Yeah, bub.

Randy: Is amma ever going to come back inside? She's been out here since 7 AM.

Matangi: I don't know, baby. I truly do not know.
 

 

 

Randy's giving it her damnedest to try and befriend this awful horrible beast.

Randy: Maybe we can be nice to each other now, yeah?

Cookie: (Unlikely...but keep trying.)
 

 

There are many perks to being the head vet at your clinic..

Supriya, from somewhere: Dr. Silva? Have you got a moment?

Matangi: No, I'm dead. Please try again later.

 

Supriya: Uhhh...so who was here first?

Women with cats: (clamouring loudly and angrily)

Supriya: O...kay...let's play eenie-meenie with this.

 

Waffle's tired of all the dog training. But at least Josie's mastered her Pet Training skill!

✓ Master Pet Training

But she's still got one more part of her goal to go...

 

With the aid of this science table thing, Randy has mastered the Logic Skill, thus completing the Mental child aspiration. I think that's so far the first time I've completed a child aspiration.

Randy: Ah, the perks of being an only child.

 

I know there's absolutely no difference visually, but Waffle had his birthday and he's an old man now :-(

Waffle: (big boof?)

 

Matangi: Ah, Waffle. You're an angel. You're the only valid pet in this house.

Waffle: (panting unproblematically)

 

Every night is date night when you're Josie Scooter. Josie's scoring her second gold-level date at the same yacht club they got engaged at a few years ago.

 

I feel like Mat and Josie's romance is a very young, pure love that has remained fundamentally the same since forever. They're always going to be high school sweethearts. And I am always going to be emo as shit about it.

 

Before Waffle can retire, though, he's gotta go through the gauntlet at the obstacle course at Pupperstone Park.

And he got a gold! No mistakes! Good job, Waffle!

✓ Win Gold at obstacle course with a companion-level dog

 

Waffle: (panting, whine?)

Josie: You did so good, baby! You did so good! You are the very best boy.

Waffle: (bark!)

 

Randy: What's wrong, appa?

Matangi: Burger meat :-(

Randy: Why...did you take one then, knowing it was meat?

Matangi: Bad AI machine go whrrrrrrhh :-(

 

With Josie having nothing else to do, I figure she'd do no harm just developing some serums and treats for the kiosk fridge, right?

Josie: Make no mistake: I am a complete and utter buffoon.

 

Mayor Whiskers is old now! He's got a handsome shake of grey in his black fur.

Mayor Whiskers: (Aaaah, my retirement years. I've done so much good for this town and it's finally time to have a bit of a rest.)

 

Mayor Whiskers: (Now Cookie, I know you are a complete and utter oaf--)

Cookie: (Hey!)

Mayor Whiskers: (--but I should let you in one something. That house across the road, you see it?)

Cookie: (Yeah?)

 

Mayor Whiskers: (Our enemies live there. The Heckings' dogs. They are ragged and smelly and they breed like rabbits. If you see them, run.)

Cookie: (...you've had way too many wet treats, you old man.)

 

Oh no...Cookie is running away...oh no...I care literally so much....

Cookie: (Goodbye cruel world. I will be back when everyone is utterly filled with sadness at my disappearance!)

Unlikely. Bye.

Another night, another date out somewhere in town.

Matangi: Welcome to my favourite place on Deadgrass Isle.

Josie: The view is amazing here, Mat!

Matangi: Cold enough for you?

Josie: Oh, I don't even notice anymore. I'm a Canadian girl now, baby.

 

They're so DRAMATIC, I CAN'T!!! Nothing but the cheesiest shit for my cheesiest couple.

 

Randy really do just be playing chess just for fun. Not even for skill anymore.

Randy: I'm not like other girls. I eat the pieces when I'm done and I just get new ones.

 

I feel like Josie and Mat have been YA literally forever lmfao. Happy birthday, finally, to these two forever-young babies!

Middle age has treated them pretty well! Josie, especially. But it's glasses from here on out, sorry guys.

Looks like they're still as horny on main as ever. Gotta love that for them.

 

Oh, I just can't. Matangi is so cute. Bright-spots yellow-eyed cardigan boy. I love him.

Matangi: Psssst. I'm Ron's favourite Sim. That's a fact.

 

Josie: Randy, look!

Randy: Yeah, right. Good try, amma.

Josie: Cookie's gone into your room and he looks hungry--did you put your chemistry set away?

Randy: Oh, snap! I didn't--

Josie: (switching pieces around) Hehehe.

 

Making friends with the last Hecking dog is the last thing that pushed Mat into completed aspiration zone! Hell yeah! Dr. Silva, best friend to the animals ever.

 

Whatcha guys looking at?

Mayor Whiskers: (Waffle...he is...eating. I wish to also eat.)

Cookie: (Yes, our food bowls are half-empty, which means they are empty.)

 

Supriya came over and I realised I made Matangi look almost. Exactly. Like her.

Supriya: This is absolutely uncanny.

Matangi: You're right. Should I change?

Supriya: Nah. Let's fuck with the pet owners for a bit. It'll be hilarious.

 

Similarly to last generation, Josie and Mat are sitting on a big fat pile of money. So, I had them quit their side jobs, and Josie's gonna be a stay-at-home dog mom from now on.

Josie: (sigh) This is it, fellas. I'm a suburban mom now. Gotta start eating baked ziti and going to PTA meets and hating my husband.

At this point, Mat is very very close to completing his goal. 100 pets is a  l o o o o t  of pets, y'all.

Matangi: Boop! And there you go. You're all better now. I hope your stupid owner stops feeding you cheese literally day.
