First Day Reaping..

So, here I am, in the Netherworld, in front of H.Q.The one thing we grew up depising all our lives. Now I am joining the ranks. But not without a plan. 

The first thing on my list is to scry. The Scrying bowl tells us where we can find our souls for Reaping.


Then I have to practice reaping on the reaping dummy. That turned out better than I thought. Next we done some reach on the souls we have to reap. 


Then it's off to the soul reaping spot. Grim uses "dummies" but they are actually volunteers for the job. So ask, don't care. 
First thing first- Examine Frank and determine the cause of death. 

I took pictures of the body position. Then took the body temp, pulse, and rigor mortis.


Next we move on the Witness Statements. 


Finally, after all the statements are complete, we move on to the reaping. 



Grim: You did well today. Make sure to ask for a review. Then you can click on the urn and return it to the family, if any are still alive. 


Skye: It is too much to ask if I can see your slablet of souls?
Grim: Are you sure you want to do this? You might not like what you see.


He showed me how everyone shows up on his lists with names, dates of birth and death, Then he pointed to a certain line. I gasped and told him to shut the book and not show me anymore. 


After returning back to H.Q.  I went the Portal and said the opening chant and opened it up and pulled out my prize for the day.


Then I finally released the souls from the day.


Back in the office, I completed the Death Certificate.Then I analyzed the death trends. 


I then took some time to socialize with my co-workers. Esther cam over and gave me some pointers. 


Then I went upstairs to Grims office and found his Crow. I read to it from a book. then he gave me some of the juicy gossip from around town.


I went downstairs to perform some scythe maintenance.


Before leaving for the day, I needed to repair the portal and replace some parts.



Time to go home. 





A Little Soul Searching .......


Good Morning my friends out there that are reading. Today I am updating to let you know that I have found out that I am now able to do a little "Soul Searching." BUT before I get to that, as I was reading up on this new feature, I got a really strange text. Some sim has been stalking me. So, being me, I just love a mystery, I agreed. I hope he is handsome. Maybe it's my Don. 


Anyway's, back to my journey. I have created a bucket list for my life's journey. Maybe I will change it, maybe I will leave it! Who knows what life holds, right?



My pizza came, It smells heavenly. Canadian Bacon is where it is at! I tipped my delivery guy a ten spot and sent him on his way. He was bringing my happy mood down. 



Then I decided to take some pictures for my social media, well, if I decide to start one. 



 Excuse me? Do I know you?

Jenna Akiyama: Oh I'm sorry, it was I that sent you the text this afternoon.*embarrassed* 


You? You? I don't understand? Your married and I hate to say this, but my interest is in men only.



Jenna: *shyly* I know, I was hoping we could work with that. I mean, we can get to know each other and see where this goes, right?

No, I am sorry, but you will need to find that fun somewhere else. It's not just me cup of tee. 


About that time, I a text from someone that I had been waiting to hear from. 
The job that I had heard that finally came along, has opened up for all sim kind. To be a reaper. 


Later in the evening, I went Mourningvale to check out Club Eternity. It's were all the ghost of ghost hang out. 


When I walked in, it was just amazing. The place was like frozen in time. I could not wait to meet some the famous ghost I had read about that would frequent here. 


I was looking around and was amazed at all the ghost that were just sitting around having a drink and chatting. I walked over to the bar and introduced myself to a nice green ghost named Yasmin Mata.


 We had  a lovely conversation. She told me about some local youth that made problems. We had some laughs about some kitten videos online. 


I found out that she is erratic, Family-oriented, and loyal to those she holds dear.


I took a sit at the bar and that when I met her, Esther Izadi! She is a fellow Reaper at the N.W.D.D. I found out that she is Self-Assured, a perfectionist. and Macabre. it was long before my alarm on my watch went off and it was time for work.


I I hope I have time to stop off at home for a quick shower. I might have peed my pants on my way out the door.

Memory's, Crypts, and Tarots

I remember this day as if it was yesterday. We had just finished the dynasty that had freed my grandparents from the Netherworld. After years of not seeing his parents, my father had finally been reunited with them. 

We sat down and he asked me was next on my plate. Like he ever cared before. So I told him "I wanted to go back into CAS and be wiped of everything I had learned and achieved over the years. I wanted to go out and find Don and live out my life with him. Have the life we didn't get because of everything we sacrificed for this family."  
 


So, now, here I am in the present day. In this new town of Ravenwood. I am still me, but somewhere along the way, I changed. I spent time wondering around the library, talking to others. Avoiding my father at all costs. I kept up with the coming and goings. The changes to the towns, the folks that lived around the Sims World. 
Then finally, I heard of Ravenwood, my heart raced and it felt like home. It was time to leave the library and begin my journey on my path in life.

I put down the money for my lot, Hay Hill Landing. It's a nice 64x64 lot. It feels homey, has fast internet, and sits on hallowed grounds.When I arrived it was a Sunday morning, in the first week of Fall. 



I had already contacted the watcher and told her of my plans. I also told her that I would be in control of my love life. I would control my heart. 

This is my tiny home away home. It's not much, but it's fine for now. My aspiration is Ghost Historian. I have to wait for a phone call before starting my career. 

Just as I expected, the local neighborhood welcome wagon showed up to welcome me to town. The lady in blue, she is a Goth, her name is Tziporah Gomes. The green guy is Waylon Wares. He is some Mysterious Merchant around town.  


I introduced myself, I found out that he hates children and is a snob. When I told him my name was Brooks, his whole attitude toward me changed. 


Everytime I tried to have a conversation with Tziporah, Waylon would slide in and act as if he was the most important person there. I did find out that she Clumsy and is being chased by death, 

After a couple of hours of listening to Waylon bring about himself, I was ready to send him back to the netherworld myself. 


After that heart warming welcoming. *eye roll* I headed out to explore the area around my home. I found a dig spot and it contained a Mysim.


I found another and it contained a broken fossil. Yay me. 


As I was walking, I came across this beautiful statue. I felt drawn to it. So I moved closer to get a better look. 


As I gazed upon it, I realized it as tied to tarot cards. This was a mystery I wanted to know more about. 


                The Order of Lenore. How strange. I remember reading about Lady Ravendancer in school. Plus, dad used to tell us stories about the old Goth family back in Sunset Valley.
Just as I turned to leave, I noticed an old crypt up on the hill. I turned and walked towards it. I love looking at old graves. The stories they tell and lives the hold. 


As I entered, I felt uneasiness, a coldness, and uncertain. But I am a Brooks and I just kept moving forward. 





Well foolish me, I reached out to pet that devilishly looking thing and it almost took my arm off. 

As it louder and louder, then closer and closer, I turned and ran the other way. I might be a Brooks, but hey, I'm not stupid either. 



Why in the world would someone put a puzzle in a crypt that plays music?
Hmmm, I know a little, maybe I can pull this off. 


I was falling for what seemed like forever. Then, in an unladylike manner, I hit the ground. I slowly stood up, dusted myself off and headed for the door. I didn't need anyone to tell my twice to get out. 


On my way home for the night, I stopped to read this but I might have forgotten what it was about. Something about a gem being hidden in a Manor.
