------------------------------------

Julien Cooke rubbed his temples and watched the woman in front of him through narrowed eyes.  Her mouth was moving a mile a minute and that ridiculous blond pony tail danced as her head bobbled around on her neck.  Christ, he thought, she looks like an insane parrot.  Why can’t she talk to her low-life husband instead of me?  Why does she have to talk so freaking much?  Samantha’s arms flailed around to emphasize certain words; words that Julien didn’t even bother to take in anymore. It didn’t matter anyway, because she never stopped talking long enough for him to respond.  After all this time her voice had become just a high-pitched white noise in his head.   He could tune out the words but not the sound.

Just then a large group of children and teenagers thundered past, hollering and laughing.  Followed by a smaller group of dogs barking after them.  Why the hell are there even dogs here?  Why are there so many goddamned kids?  Why was this Ottomas woman STILL talking?!  Julien wished he would get tired so maybe he could at least sleep.  Anything to not have to stand here and watch her spew noise out of her mouth.   The Picasos and the Goodie couple had gone, how long ago now?  Maybe he would get to go soon.  Though “soon” was a relative term that had no definition in a place where time doesn’t even move.   He had figured that out long ago.  There was no time here, only this endless room and this annoying woman in his face, beating his brain apart with her never-ending stream of words.  Julien narrowed his eyes and massaged his temples...

Aw! Poor Julien D: *runs off and add Julien to a house*

[fuzzy-spork.livejournal.com]

Haha, I might have used his POV so he would get some love. ;D

[mysterymusic7.livejournal.com]

Poor Julien. Luckily he's not in the SimBin in my game. He lives in a nice house away from all that talking and all those kids. Great story Fuzzy!

[fuzzy-spork.livejournal.com]

I was looking through my sim bin and realized "Holy crap there's a lot of kids and toddlers!" So they might be running around and generally being KID-LIKE and noisy. Which isn't helping Julien's headache, I'm sure. lol

Thanks! :D

LOL! You know, I always had vague running conversations in my head between the Sim Bin characters. That pretty much summed it up perfectly.

[fuzzy-spork.livejournal.com]

I like the idea of the Sim Bin being an actual "place" of some kind and I wish the sims came out of there with memories of being there. :D

[peasant007.livejournal.com]

This big blueish room, nothing but blue as far as the eye can see. A Purgatory for Sims, basically, if one believes in that sort of thing.

[lilycobalt.livejournal.com]

Oh, Samantha. I'd probably be as batty as Julien if I was stuck in the Sim Bin with her.

[fuzzy-spork.livejournal.com]

She always struck me as creepily CLINGY. And would definitely talk your ear off just to keep you in her presence. lol

[mzyra.livejournal.com]

I already <3 Julien (long uberhood story), so I feel especially sorry for him. Can't be fun being stuck in the simbin (or equivalent) regardless of who you're with, but the Ottomases...? *pets Julien on the shoulder*

[fuzzy-spork.livejournal.com]

Oh I <3 Julien too. :D Hate the beard, but love the guy. lol

[katmiesterk8.livejournal.com]

Oh, me too. That beard makes him look kinda creepy, in my opinion.

[penguingirl03.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA oh Samantha as an insane parrot. I still dislike that sim... Loved this look into the sim bin! I do feel really bad for Julien though. Hurry up and make him playable fuzzy! ;-)

[fuzzy-spork.livejournal.com]

Thanks Pen! :D Haha, he's probably the only bin sim I actually DO make playable in every neighborhood.

[joandsarah.livejournal.com]

Poor Julien, in most of my hoods he gets played. He's quite cute after that ridiculous beard is taken away. So far he's been a school headmaster twice, a prison guard and just a shirtless bit of eye candy. :D

[fuzzy-spork.livejournal.com]

OH WHAT? You made Headmaster Julien the prison guard too? I KNEW you were gonna send us to prison next! lol

But now I'm having all kinds of naughty prison ideas....

[joandsarah.livejournal.com]

I built a prison in my test neighbourhood and tried it out on three thugs. Takes a bit more figuring then the school. But it does work. Also you can add this token into any sims inventory and it stops them appearing on community lots.
Although I can't stop the fraternizing between prisoners and prison staff... Just as well I don't have ACR lol. Not that I've moved you guys to the prison..yet. ^_^

[esmeiolanthe.livejournal.com]

This was funny! :D And it feels so much as if it could be true, too.

I don't have the EP that Julien Cooke came with, but from what I've seen in other people's stuff, he's pretty cool.

[fuzzy-spork.livejournal.com]

Heh, thanks Esme. :D You have to wonder just how relieved some of those premades are to get out of the bin and AWAY from the Ottomases! lol

[rosefyre.livejournal.com]

Haha, loved it, Fuzzy! The Sim Bin is rather an eternal limbo, isn't it? All those poor spares who never get to leave it!

[fuzzy-spork.livejournal.com]

Actually, now I'm kinda tempted to do a whole story based on the sim bin! Like a soap opera. Heh. At least the set would be easy. >_>

[rosefyre.livejournal.com]

You totally should! And yes, you'd just need, like, blue rooms. :D
