Poppy: 𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞! Kate: Not that I'm not a devout believer in your delusions or anything 009 but-

Poppy: -𝘣𝘶𝘶𝘶𝘶𝘵 he's gone now isn't he? Kate: Yep. Poppy: 𝗙𝘂𝗰𝗸.

Poppy: I'm not crazy. Someone was right there! Same guy as last night- but by the gazebo this time.

Kate: Weird. You're sure it wasn't a dream? Poppy: 𝗬𝗲𝘀! 𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦. No. Not really.

Poppy: There was someone out there. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝘆. Kate: Alright, but maybe try not to get weirdly obsessed about it. We still have a job to do. Poppy: I know.

Kate: Do you want to borrow my knife? Poppy: Maybe. I'll let you know.

𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗲. Kate needed to see this.

Poppy ran from the window to shake her fellow angel awake from her deep sleep and incessant faulty engine starter snoring.

Poppy: 𝘒𝘢𝘵𝘦- Kate wake up! Wake up!! It's him- he's outside! The same man from last night!

Being snapped awake prematurely had never been one of 008's favorite activities.

A self declared morning person, Katelyn Evelyn Miller preferred waking up gradually- and without anyone touching her.

But over the years, it had become necessary to take… 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴.

One smooth motion- quick, sharp, practiced.

Poppy: 𝙒𝘼𝙏𝘾𝙃𝙀𝙍 𝙁𝙐𝘾𝙆-𝙎𝙃𝙄𝙏! 𝙆𝘼𝙏𝙀! 𝙆𝘼𝙏𝙀! 𝙄𝙏'𝙎 𝙈𝙀! 𝙄𝙏'𝙎 𝙅𝙐𝙎𝙏 𝙈𝙀! 𝙄𝙏'𝙎 𝙋𝙊𝙋𝙋𝙔!

Kate: 𝘖𝘩. Whoops.

Poppy: 𝙒𝙃𝙊𝙊𝙋𝙎?! 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗢 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗠𝗘𝗔𝗡 𝗪𝗛𝗢𝗢𝗣𝗦?! Kate: Hey you're the one that woke me up.

Poppy: Do you always sleep with a giant knife??? Kate: 𝘠𝘦𝘴? Poppy: Isn't that like- I don't know- 𝙨𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙨?? Kate: Only for creeps that shake me awake in middle of the night.

Poppy: That's kinda hot. Kate: 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘩, 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘩, self defense is sexy.

Did you want something?

Things were looking up- Poppy had adjusted to the overpoweringly sweet candy smell of the room, the beds were actually pretty decent, and the watcher had finally gotten a handle on the reshade for the arc.

But still-

It was so- 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝙙𝙧𝙮.

Her cracked and desolate throat woke her up near the same time as the night prior. Thoughts wailing and head pounding against her skull, begging for a single drop of water.

𝘚𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘯𝘦𝘸 𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘵. Because waking up in the middle of the night one time to see a strange man creeping around is bad enough.

But two nights in a row- 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚.

Vera/Poppy/M: YOU 𝙁𝙇𝙄𝙋𝙋𝙀𝘿 HIM!?!

Kate: I thought he might have been Poppy's night time phantom. Vera: Like- 𝘧𝘭𝘪𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮, flipped him? The full 180? Kate: Unfortunately, yes.

M: So do you think you've been compromised?

Vera: Please tell me we don't have to go tent camping because of this.

Poppy: Forget that shit! Do you think he's more or less in love with you now? Kate: I don't see why we need to keep talking about this.

Kate: There was… one other thing though. There was- 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙚. M: Watcher… on purpose? Kate: No. Not this time. Poppy: 𝘖𝘩𝘩𝘩 you're so in danger! So~ when's the wedding, and can I be a bridesmaid? Kate: Look, it's fine. It's really a non-issue.

Vera: I think you should give it a chance! He's really nice! M: 005 you think everyone is nice. Vera: But he 𝘐𝘚 nice. And if I'm a bridesmaid can I wear pants? Kate: For fucks sake.

Kate: Look- it's really nothing. Besides, Poppy- I thought you wanted dibs anyway?

Poppy: 𝙀𝙪𝙜𝙝- Yeah but nothing puts a kink in your hot girl summer plans like the appearance of your m o t h e r. Vera: Oh! And Orange! Poppy: 𝘌𝘶𝘶𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘩.

M: This whole situation is- Poppy: 𝘍𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥?! M: Irregular. Kate: But an opportunity nonetheless.

Poppy: What do you mean? Kate: 009, this is the perfect free pass into the operation. And Argent told us to give you a bigger role this time right? Vera: 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸… this feels like it could turn into a whole Britechester Gala situation again.

Poppy: No. 008's right. This is a good opportunity. And I can handle myself better than Chad. (M: 𝘗𝘩𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨.) Kate: You wanted a central role- now you got it.

Vera: So what's our next move? Poppy: I guess I'm going on a date with my mother. Kate: ��𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 ��𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁.

When confronted by an aggressor from behind, it is important to react instantly- without thought or mercy. Surprise is not on your side in these situations, so instead you'll just have to be faster.

𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧: Swipe the leg. Throwing off their center of balance will be key.

𝗦𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗗: A sharp, quick strike with your elbow to the solar plexus. This will create both distance between you and your attacker as well as provide an anchor for your defensive maneuver.

𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗗: Disarm. Grab the wrist firmly and dig the point of your thumb into the main artery. In some cases this can help relieve nausea, but in those cases you probably aren't pressing hard enough.

𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗧𝗛: The Flip. Using your elbow as an anchor, pull the captured wrist across your body in a quick downwards motion to invert your victim.

𝗙𝗜𝗙𝗧𝗛: Realize there's a small chance you might have overreacted.

It is at this point that the conversation can continue in several ways. There's always the classic flirt and act dumb- but that had failed to earn her any ground that morning. She could make up something about taking self defense classes at her local community center-

And if nothing else worked there was always old reliable: Knocked out cold and stuffed in the nearest grain bin- hoping no one notices til you're at least 50 miles clear of the crime scene.

But seeing as they still needed a base of operations for the current mission, and they probably couldn't get their deposit back on the rooms anyway, 008 opted that the last option, while her favorite- might not help the current situation.

"I'm sorry- can I help you with something?"

The man under her feet groaned and sheepishly offered her the pen she had classified as a weapon nearly fifteen seconds earlier. "I uh- I need you to sign the form." The words croaked out of his bruised chest, any air successfully having been knocked from his body, leaving only gravel and dust. Oh.

"To confirm that-"

"-to confirm that you brought my animals back in one piece, yes." he finished her sentence, the Agent grateful that he seemed to be taking the whole '𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯' situation rather well.

"And by the way- I don't squawk. I project."

"I'll make sure to keep that in mind."

BEHIND THE SCENES DETAILS

➡A PART TWO TO THIS POST⬅

Continued below the cut cause I continue not to be normal about it.

CASINO HEIST

The only room in the starlight I didn't get to feature was the morgue- located directly behind the basement pool room. I was flying around in TAB mode and I jumpscared the hell out of myself when this townie was tending this 'bar' alone in this room like the blair witch project.

Tiny out of frame sink so poppy can brush her teeth here.

OFF TOPIC: In that same vein, whenever I want to have a 'meeting' with my sims, I place a tiny TOOL'ed down TV behind the speaker's head and have them all watch it.

I posed out a face for Val but the height slider was contorting it in a way i hated so I just said fuck it. When I unpaused he made the best in game face immediately after and I'm obsessed with it. It was perfect and he got a gold star for that. Sometimes the sims surprises me.

The elevator on the top floor of the Starlight is only 1x2 tiles, so I had to greenscreen in a fake elevator interior, which is why the reflections don't match up 😂

I actually shot the whole elevator scene in a floating copy in the basement.

Before and After. This effect is called Frozen_Child_Head btw.

When @doctorsimcraft built Senga's office, she referenced the IRL manager's office at Binion's Casino. The upside down horseshoe above the desk letting you know that this is the place your luck finally runs out.

This fight took me 3 weeks to pose out and get looking decent in game because of the extreme height difference between Henry and Poppy. I still hate it.

Glass Onion Reference.

I had around 50 effects players running for the final fight. Turns out if you do this and you go into CAS or BB even once your game will become basically non responsive. I quit out and reloaded an upsetting amount of times to get this scene shot.

The Flooded Version of the Vault was shot on a different lot using the pond tool trick and lowering the floor down one platform height to get the illusion of the room being flooded with pool water.

Tiny Alejandro.

Before and After.

Chad in the mirror!

The little handcuff hold!!!

Real Lucky there was a ginger officer on staff that day huh Val

Sade's Old Room.

I'll try to do another one of these when we finish Gen 6! Someday. lol Hope it was interesting!

📩 Simblr question of the day: It's time to appreciate the small things! What's a small detail from one of your posts that you love? Could be a small tattoo on a sim, specific clutter in a sims' room, a little detail in a render or screenshot, whatever is applicable to you

(p.s. I've been scouring simblr, and I've noticed people don't like how picky SQOTD feels, so please! Share around SQOTD asks, anon or not, I'm only one person and can't find and ask every person on simblr ~ 💛)

First off- Bless you anon for spreading so much love. You're seriously a joy and I can't believe you're getting flack for that. I'll see if I can slip some more of these into some more inboxes for you.

Secondly- AHH like A LOT OF STUFF wehh I'll stick it below a cut cause its dumb, specific and I'm not going to be normal about it and also old spoilers for past arcs!

MUSEUM HEIST

Leanne's lil transition from- 'there's a man watching you' to 'oh you know him' 😏😏😏

Throughout their first confrontation I slowly had the boys get closer and closer together as they spoke.

I converted, cleaned up and retextured this pistol for this arc and I have used it incessantly since as my main spy pistol. I wanted a vintage WW2 pistol similar to the one Lupin the Third uses.

CONSEQUENCES AND FUNERALS

LOL at tiny background Val and Leanne being dramatic creeps

HAPPY WINTERFEST

Leanne jumpscare that scared the pants off me in real life taking these pictures. She had an action queued up to talk to Chad so whenever he wasn't in the middle of an action she'd get steadily closer like a FNAF animatronic

but from her perspective ^

this sequence is actually a giant dumb animation I made, the first one I ever tried! I wanted to do a soft lil yearning scar touch.

HANDS!!

CASINO HEIST

I had to handpaint every shot this ring appears in at the beginning cause the accessory I had in was sooooo thin and shitty (before and after ^)

Chad mentions Poppy needs to stop telegraphing her moves so clearly after they have a conversation about UNIT always getting the leg up on them.

I liked this final shot as a transition into the main story as well as a way to highlight the principal cast for the arc! (Also like, so many hand placed pins. AND Chad and Poppy's sexy calendar (which should be set to feburary but the feb swatch has her mother on it sakjdkajd))

Shots with both sets of characters in them my beloved. ( I never ended up using that last one tho rip )

When Poppy mentions she has some errands to run you can see the UNIT building in the background of the shot.

Val mentions thinking he's losing his mind because he swore he smelled Chad's cologne the day before the party- because they were in the same elevator minutes apart!

Not only is the Starlight drop dead gorgeous and a whole chunk of @doctorsimcraft's soul, I also made a custom animated sign, portraits, ceiling lightbulbs and room numbers for it.

Oh god I ran out of picture space. I'll probably do a part 2 then ahh- theres still some fun stuff. SEE I TOLD YOU I WASN'T GONNA BE NORMAL ABOUT IT

being a fan of a friend's ocs is actually so humiliating....... like yes my favourite character rn is tragically doomed and a pillar of humanity who i think is relevant to the current world. you can find information about them on discord dot com and sometimes in late-night conversations with this guy i know. what the fuck

By the time the Angels returned to the ranch, dusk had begun to crawl towards the horizon; everyone grateful to have made it back in one piece- with minimal emotional and physical scarring.

Vera: Y'know, I really think you're getting better at this whole horse thing. It only bucked you off twice on the trip back! Poppy: Eugh, I think I'm getting a saddle rash. Vera: Yeah me too. Maybe we wear pants tomorrow? Poppy: Gross.

It had been an interesting day for everyone to say the least.

Poppy had gotten some surprising family time, Vera had developed a very understandable hatred for large quadrupeds, and Kate- well.

After the official sale of the ranch, the last few months hadn't been the easiest on Diego Luis García. The work was difficult and monotonous, and he had lost a lot of the things that were important to him holding on to the only home he'd ever known- it was easy to be bitter.

But he stuck around anyway. And today might have been one of the first days in a long time he didn't stop to regret it.

A weird day for sure, but weird isn't bad- he'd rather weird than boring any day. And some people, especially the weird ones, can leave quite an impact.

Oh and Chavo told me to let you know he found several of his toys he had buried last week out in the pasture.

So! An exciting day all around!

But for Agent Kate Miller, Designation: 008, the day had been a moderate success. No one had died, her mile time improved by 3 seconds, and she got to ride again. After her transfer to the Del Sol UNIT offices she had ended up making the hard decision to sell her own horse back home.

And she'd have to be lying through her teeth to convince you that this wasn't one of the things she had missed the most.

Still- they still had more questions than answers.

And to be brutally honest, a quality 008 was dependable for most days (much to the continued chagrin of her coworkers)- she wasn't completely confident that 009 would be up to the challenges she knew were ahead.

She had spent good years of her lifespan slipping into the good graces of bad men, and that's not a task that everyone is psychologically cut out for.

Did it keep her a little on edge? Sure. Did it make her unlikable? Probably. But that was just something she had come to live with.

A proper guard needs to be maintained with these sorts of jobs- never say exactly what you mean, never make the first move-

And never ever let anyone catch you with it down.
