Welcome to the Kook Family Backwards ISBI! As you can see we have an elder sim here as our founder, Ben Kook, and his trusty dog Dusty. 😀
Ben: Who’s a guud widdle puppy?
Dusty: *growls* you should be a ghost by now old man
Ben: What a marvelous device, oh look a cat video! Was someone talking to me?
Yup! Hi Ben! No, you can’t see me, but I know you can hear me. 😉
Ben: YOU! Get out of my head!
I’m afraid I can’t do that Ben.
Ben: No! Be gone disembodied voice!
Ben, can we just talk a moment? You see, I need you for a challenge and –
Ben: ‘I need you for a challenge’ Phhfftt, whatever. ‘I’m a disembodied voice and you will do what I say!’ No!
Ben: ‘Oh, a llama!’ Yah right! You can’t fool me!
No, really, there’s a llama…
Llama: Umm, sir? Are you okay?
Ben: *gasp!* A llama! A talking llama! My life is complete!
Ben… it’s a mascot…
Ben: All my life I have dreamed of meeting a talking llama, and now here you are!
Llama: Um, okay. Well here’s a welcome basket, and, uh, you should come to our university.
Ben: It’s a sign from the Watcher! I must go to university!
Llama: Right, well, later! *backs away slowly*
Yay! Ben’s going to university!! 😀
Ben: Why is there still this voice in my head, didn’t I tell you to go away?
Well, you did, but I’m not going anywhere! Ha!
Ben: This is all your doing! Isn’t it?! You made that llama come!
Actually, no, he came on his own.
Ben: I don’t believe you. I’m not going.
Yes, you are. I need you to live longer, so you are going to university.
Ben: Live longer? Am I going to die?
Not until you’ve met a girl, had two kids and at least one grows up!
Ben: Oh. Why do I need kids?
I guess I should explain that…*announcer voice* CONGRATULATIONS BEN! You have been chosen to be the founder of a Backwards ISBI! I am your guide, MichelleLynn! Together we will find you a wife, have kids, and keep you alive! *crowds cheering in the background*
I knew you’d come around! 😀
Ben: I still don’t like you.
Can’t win them all. 😦
Ben: Now you be a good boy and stay here Dusty.
Dusty: *woof*
Ben, Dusty will be fine, come on, let’s go!
Ben: *on phone* Hi! I’m Ben! I’m coming to your university!
Did I just see a pop up that said a dog sitter was going to check in on Dusty while you were gone?
Ben: Who else will feed Dusty? Duh!
Oh I hate you, -10 points already! 😦
Never mind, it’s not important for you to know. Shall we head out now?
Ben: Bye Dusty! *sobs* You are my only companion!
Oh my plumbob, you’re coming back! Go get in the van!
Ben: *sobs*
Oh dear….

SCORECARD
-10 Dog Sitter (2) (I wasn’t thinking when I created Dusty in CAS that he would need a sitter. Since Ben will be gone for 2 ‘terms’ I doubled the point deduction, -5 for each ‘term’) 😦

-10 Total Points
Oh no! lol well I am sure you’ll get some more points soon.
I can’t wait to read the rest of your story and I still can’t believe you joined so quickly!
I don’t no why, but it made me proud to see my name on the about page. I made something! lol

I told you I was excited! Haha! I want to update a couple times a week along with the Darnell updates now that work is slowing down (finally!). This is my fun ‘let’s see what kind of trouble we can get into’ kind of story. Lol! 😀

I love this so far! I’ve never seen anyone start with an elder, and such a kooky one at that – Ben is the most perfectly offbeat founder. XD Your narration style is great. That’s too bad about the dog sitter points, but it wouldn’t be an ISBI if it didn’t get off to a rocky start, right? I can’t wait to read more! 🙂

Thanks for commenting! I’m glad you like it! Ben is probably one of my favourite Sims I’ve ever created. I am in love with his beard. 😀

This is hilarious! A girl named Tasha Schmidt recommended this on the Sims 3 and 4 Stories and Legacies on Google+. I’m glad I followed the link!
“Ben: Oooo, pretty flag!” – This line, in particular, after all “the voice in Ben’s head” said, made me laugh out loud! 🙂 This ought to be a fun read… ^_^

Ooh, I like this. I read the challenge on Zefie’s blog, but didn’t know anyone was actually doing it. I like it so far, Ben is incredibly kooky!

I’m glad you like it! I think I’m one of the few people still doing the challenge but I’m determined to finish it even though Sims 4 has come out. Personally I still like the gameplay for Sim 3 better right now anyway. 🙂

Yeah, I’m in no rush to get TS4. None of the reviews have made it sound any more exciting than it looks, so I’ll wait til it’s cheaper.
