Gone Fishin'

 

Willow hasn't ventured out that much during her time in Glimmerbrook.  Although she has been to a couple of parks, Granite Falls and of course the Magic Realm, she has been more focused on learning her craft and killing other Sims, the latter being done more easily at home, especially whilst hosting parties.

Fishing is one skill that Willow has been learning.  Each time she comes to a body of water that she can fish in, she has given this a go and caught a few fish.  So much so that she has raised her skill to level 4.

There are quite a few places in all the different worlds where a Sim can fish, each one giving different varieties of fish that can be caught.  Of course, different fish can be caught with different bait such as flowers or fruit and Willow being a bit of a gardener has a variety of bait within her inventory.  As Willow is an outdoorsy type, she finds fishing most enjoyable.

In this episode, Willow goes fishing in the Magic Realm and catches a couple of Rainbow fish - a new fish that she hasn't encountered before.  This then gave her the idea that maybe she should visit Sulani.

Sulani is a beautiful tropical island with palm trees, waterfalls, a volcano and beaches.  

There are lots of different fish there where you cannot catch anywhere else so Willow decides to try her luck.

Visiting the bar, she chats with one of the locals and discovers that he is a witch too.  Afterwards, she searches around for a fishing spot but unfortunately there is none to be found.  But then Willow comes across a fishing basket laying in the water, ready to be baited for catching fish.  She decides to pop an apple inside to see what fish she might catch.  While waiting, Willow begins to make a sand sculpture on the beach.

After a little while, Willow checks the basket to see if she has caught anything but alas, no.  She goes back to building a sand sculpture and leaves the basket in the water, hoping that the fish will bite soon.

Maybe in the next episode, Willow will be lucky enough to catch some new fish and perhaps she should really buy a fishing basket of her own.

Fireworks Night

Fireworks Night comes once a year after Spooky Day.  Having a party where friends gather around the fire pit telling stories, roasting marshmallows and generally having a good time is what Fireworks Night is all about.  And then there's the added bonus of fireworks.  Watching the sky light up with all those pretty colours and sparks makes everything so much better.

Willow, as we know, is no stranger to parties and fire.  She loves to hold a party and get rid of a few Sims that she doesn't like either by poisoning them, setting them alight, keeping them out in the scorching sun or freezing them to death.  So this year, Willow holds a Weenie Roast on this special night, especially for her enemies.

Now, inviting your enemies to a party takes guts in the real world as no-one would turn up but this is Sim Land and all of the Sims that Willow invites turn up to her party.

Now Willow being an evil witch would usually make Pufferfish Nigiri for her guests or cast an inferniate spell near one or two or five of them but this time Willow plays it cool and casually walks over to the fire pit to light it.

They say that those who live by the sword die by the sword and this could also be said about fire.  Lighting the fire pit backfires a little and Willow is set alight.  However, she soon extinguishes it and goes on to light the large bonfire at the corner of the garden.  Unfortunately for her guests, the little fire pit starts raging again and sets 3 of her guests on fire.  Does Willow help them?  No, of course not.  As she cannot do anything else but either put the fire out, call the fire brigade or stand at the front of her house because of a fire on the lot, she opts for standing at the front of her house until it's all over.  A visit from the Grim Reaper is inevitable and he takes his time gathering the souls of her enemies.

Willow on the other hand is itching to light a few fireworks so she has no alternative but to call the fire brigade to put out the fire so that she can continue with her Fireworks Night celebrations.

Watching the fireworks was exciting and the Grim Reaper stood around watching them too.

Willow had a wonderful time this year and no-one can blame her for the deaths of those poor Sims as it was an accident and Willow was just an innocent bystander.

Making Friends

Willow has made quite a few enemies during the time she has spent in the little town of Glimmerbrook, many of which are now dead, although some still remain.  It is probably about time therefore, that she makes a few friends.

As Willow is evil, she tends to give a rude introduction to Sims that she is meeting for the first time.  This is not always advisable as there are many Sims that she has come into contact with who are either magical Sims, vampires or both.  

Willow is now able to talk about magic to other magical Sims and these options show up once the introduction has been made.  Similarly, when speaking to a vampire, options for enthusing about vampires and other vampiric interactions also show up.

Luckily for Willow, even though introducing herself rudely to other Sims causes a little animosity, she is soon able to turn this around with a few friendly interactions.  So much so, that she is then given gifts from these Sims such as crystals.

Even though Willow wants to make enemies, there is something to be said for making friends with certain Sims.  Not only does she obtain gifts from them, she also avoids any animosity from a vampire, which could be quite nasty.  I have seen this before in my personal game where the vampire suddenly appeared in it's evil form and attacked my Sim.  Needless to say, the vampire won.  It wasn't a pretty sight!

So, in this episode, we see Willow making friends with a few other magical Sims and also vampires, gaining gifts and perhaps, some more partners in crime.

Of course, Willow will also make enemies but only with non-magical Sims and non-vampires.  She needs to have some enemies too otherwise she wouldn't be the evil witch that we have all come to know and love.
