Pics 96: Lost Ariane and Rachel Stories Part 1
🕑 Added 2022-12-29 20:00:02 +0000 UTCIn January 2020 while trying to decide what game to work on I decided to move Ariane and Rachel into the same house. When I originally wrote these stories I was experimenting with new models based on Poser's La Femme, and they turned out kind of ugly. I decided I want to resurrect these lost stories with their current models so they look better, so here are the first two lost "Moving In" stories with much better pictures.
Rachel: So what do you think?
Ariane: It’s nice, but it means living under the same roof as my mom.
Rachel: Ellison Tower is a huge building, I doubt you’ll even see her very often.
Ariane: I’m just wondering why we can’t move into my house. There is no pool here.
Rachel: The pool is expensive to upkeep, and you can only use it half the year. This place is bigger than your house. We can even bring the hot tub.
Ariane: I’m also closer to work, living here would save me a lot of money, and I really love this furniture.
Rachel: This is a model suite, we won’t have this furniture, but we both have furniture we can bring.
Ariane: Yeah, I guess. At least the view is spectacular.
Rachel: We won’t have that either. This is model suite is on the 23rd floor. If we take it, our suite will be on the 5th floor.
Ariane: So our view will be…?
Rachel: A parking garage.
Ariane: Can I run around naked and give the parking lot patrons a show?
Rachel: Sure but the glass is one way so they won’t see you. This is high tech glass that traps solar energy and generates electricity. It also has a TLCD coating.
Ariane: What’s that?
Rachel: Transparent Liquid Crystal Display, similar to color e-paper.
Rachel does something with her phone and suddenly the Pirate’s Cove from Duquesne appears in the windows.
Ariane: The window is a video screen?
Rachel: It can display pictures, it is slow to refresh, so it can’t do video.
Ariane: So if we don’t like looking at the parking lot we can change the view? Neat! Do the walls do the same thing?
Rachel: No just the glass.
Ariane: So I can paint the walls another color?
Rachel: That’s right, you are not a fan of white walls. Sure, as long as I can hang my photos on them.
Ariane: Deal, let’s do this!
Rachel: Hey, how’s the painting going.
Ariane: I should be done with this wall by the end of the day.
Rachel: Good. Remember when we talked this morning about each of us getting something new for the apartment? I just bought something and I want to show you.
Ariane: Me too! Let me get down from the ladder and I’ll show you what I got.
Rachel: So are you going to paint this whole room red like your house?
Ariane: No just that wall. I was thinking blue for the wall near the stairs and green for the balcony. I’m trying to decide between neon green and forest green.
Rachel: I like the green on your apron.
Ariane: Dark turquoise green. Yeah that might work. Haven’t decided on the columns yet, they are so inconveniently placed.
Rachel: Well they are keeping 20 stories of building from falling on top of us, so they are staying.
Ariane: Good point. So I got us a Cubert. This little robot guy is similar to Amazon Echo or Google Home in that it is a voice activated home assistant. But instead of a boring can of beans shape, it’s shaped like a robot.
Rachel: Can it do robot things?
Ariane: It’s head will look at you when you ask it a question, and it’s arms do basic gestures depending on it’s response.
Rachel: It’s also got legs and feet, can it walk?
Ariane: Why don’t you ask it?
Rachel: Hey Cubert, can you walk?
Cubert: No, but I am mobile. Can you carry me?
Ariane: Did I mention it has a bit of a weird personality?
Rachel: Awesome. I love it. Kind of cute, too.
Rachel: But my gift might be cuter, let me get it out.
Ariane: What do you have in the box Rachel?
Rachel: I have…
… a little doggo.
Ariane: Oh my god, you got us a puppy! I love it!
Rachel: She’s a bit of a mutt, not sure what species, but she seems friendly enough. She’s already been spayed and had her shots. We just need to name her.

OK, you were right. Although, I don't think Ariane looks terrible, but, oof, that Rachel is kind of a mess. The upshot is that now I'm even MORE impressed with the new pics!

I have to admit I don't recall what the original versions of these pictures look like, (I certainly don't remember them being "ugly") but the new versions look terrific. I especially like the wall's POV shot of Ariane painting.
