they wanted to tell a story. a story about other people, and they wanted to act it out. others let out an excited murmur, with one of them asking a question: what is it about?

and so they told the group.

the name of their play.

But to ME and MY COUSIN and MY SISTER aged appropriately 11 it sparked a chain of events leading to a completely homemade, inside joke stacked, and insanely complexly built fictional world based on a combination of that game and Villager News that has shaped my entire life and sense of humor. No it has nothing to do with the actual game itself. It has to do with hours upon hours spent on a trampoline performing the same dumb skits 100 times over and the sims file lost to time with tens of characters with complex backstories. It has to do with a French version of the Neighbor called Neighbierre and his cooking show that I practiced so much it landed me a role in a school play because of my comedically half-accurate French accent.
