Shiver Me Timbers!

This turned out to be another text-heavy post because the girls needed to go through all of the Build/Buy items related to Cordelia I. I'd read their descriptions individually but never all together, so I learned something from the process. Still, sorry for so much text this time.

Saturday, Day 21 of Winter in Tartosa (Oct 14)

Tae: I sold five bottles of nectar on Thursday, three yesterday, and three more this morning. For a grand total of over 100k simoleons. I am now a Nectar Know-It-All

Alej: Awesome! You're done with your two aspirations for this month. What’s next?
Tae: Right now, I’m helping the girls p of Build/Buy stuff related to Cordelia I onto our backyard. Wanna help?

Coralie: Let’s rearrange it all somewhat chronologically. OKay, the Princess Cordelia Marble's the earliest item, sayng she was a champion marble player as a child.
Mariama: She made a 9-painting series to honor her beloved jazz band who she left behind, along with her wait staff, when fleeing the grad palace to escape the Graat Sloth Invasion.  She also sculpted the Bob the Butler statue, which says the sub had 48 rooms!
C: She also painted that Coral-Land Garden around the same time. That Naughti-cal Nighttand proves she was a skilled carpenter. That double bed says “she had a thing for priates.” And that Polly Wants a Plate item says: “Every time she acquired a new boyfriend, they commissioned a plate in their parrot’s honor.” Okay, four plates, four pirate boyfriends.
M: And those Princess Cordlia’s Peasant Stairs (CL) say Henford-on-Blagley was one of the first places she settled after the Great Slot Invasion. It think the HoB is worth a visit!


C: She named 3 lamps and a chandelier after her 1st pirate lover, the unhygienic Long John Buttercup. The lights all mention the submarine so he must’ve been her lover when she fled the palace (Verdemar?). That vase is a copy of her parting gift when she dumped him.
M: Next, she named three mirrors after her 2nd pirate lover, the vain Chaz MacFreeling, because he was always admiring himseelf in mirrors. The mini-galleon is a copy of one Chaz commissioned of his galleon; but Cordelia destroyed it because he spent more admiring his mini-galleon than her. He also has a Sims Trophy and Chaz Doll (we enlarged the foll here).

M: Lots of things related to her 3rd lover, Rodrigo de Pablo, the accident-prone pirate who was her favorite. The Rodrigo de Pablo Cask mentions she was with Rodrigo at the time of the kraken attacks mentioned in the Prince Cordelia's Bath’s descriptio. She gifted that couch, chair, and ottoman for his comfort after his various injuries.
C (reads): "The famous Captain Rodrigo de Pablo was also one of the greatest lepidopterists of his time." Discovering a new butterfly species, he named it the Cordelian Butterfly.
M: The Swordmanship Vol. 3: Rodrigo, Joanne, and Others skill book implies Rodrigo was one of the most famous swordmasters of all time. Was that Cordelia’s Rodrigo before he got injured?
C: That She Captain portrait only says “she looks vaguely familiar.” I wonder when the royal princess evolved into a seafaring captain? I like to think it was while she was with Rodrigo!
M: But that Polly Wants a Pirate thing has four plates with four parrots. Who’s the fourth pirate lover?


Coralie: I appreciate all you've both done so I could live freely as well as to invite me into your home!
Tae: Giving up your historical legacy as Cordela VI is a huge sacrifice for your freedom. We hope you never regret choosing your freedom from the noble life.
Alej: And remember, Princess Cordelia I didn’t always live in the Verdemar Palace, either. Perhaps you’ll want to return someday. Until then, our home is your home.


Watcher: What are you doing, Tae! You're hosting a Black & White Bash on New Year's Eve! Get off your plumbob and start discussing black and white things with your guests!
Tae: Please! Give me a moment for “reacting to a cute moment.”
Mariama: Awwww.

Mariama: *attempts introduction to Kristen and fails
Tae: That’s a losing battle, hun.
Mariama: It's okay. I’m good friends with all the party guests tonight except the two celebrities, so I wanted to at least try. (Why does Phillip look angry?)

Fenrir: What’s Carly doing down there?
Alej: Push-ups.

Alej: Who are those two sims rushing over to the back porch?
Tae: Rowan and Honey. Figures, right? Looking fabulous, you two! But why so agnry, Honey?

Zorro: Long time, no hug, abuelita! Why you no hair, though?
Cebolla: No idea!
Watcher: When you arrived, I immediately used MCCC to “Modify household in CAS.” I checked your party outfit and it has the right hair. This is the 3rd time you’ve shown up bald at Tae’s party  I don’t know how to fix it.😭
Zorro: I don't care. I love  my gramma anyway!

 Tae: Ladies, ladies, ladies! No need to stand around in the shrubbery! Irene, your new hairstyle looks fantastic on you!


Carly: Ready?
Alej: I’m an Active sim, you know? When I saw you doing pushups, I knew I had to ask you to help me do a keg stand!
Carly: Dude, drink!

Mariama: Arnessa says folks believe she’s related to Cordelia I, but she's blowing it off.
Coralie: Well, she finally admitted to me that her family’s related to Cordelia I. Something about Town Hall records documenting the arrival of her grandfather (who’s he?) in Tartosa. She also says there are historical artifacts all over her house. We need to go visit, Mari!
