Emergency! textposts
Recently kind of fell into the Emergency! fandom (Thanks mostly to catching reruns on TV while I'm working. Apparently, between this and MASH, retro medical drama/comedies from the '70s make for great background noise when cleaning hospital rooms, lol)
So, I thought it'd be kind of fun to make a few (which turned into way too many) textpost memes. Not sure if these have been done before, and if they have, I apologize.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Good evening fellas,
and with these pics I close S5 but it'll go on, of course. *grins*
Poor Johnny, banned at the hospital, and a nurse with a tight schedule. If you think of the blooper scene at the end, so did I. lol
Enjoy!
P.S.: Tomorrow it could be later (or not) since I wanna go biking.

River Valley BACC
The counsel in Sunset Valley realized they still had many more worlds that needed to be repopulated.
They decided to send to 18 sims to Henford-on-Bagley first. Unfortunately this means that they have mostly start from scratch.
Hunting, Foraging, and creating their own furniture is just some of the hardships waiting them.

Here Lies my Legacy Save.
Computer died, lost years of play, and so the records I was keeping are now done being collected and are now simply kept.
I WAS renaming my sims by generation because I couldn't tell who was what generation in gameplay and it made it weird when they had the same childhood crush as their children. So the first generation was A-named, next was B, etc.
I did rename some of them funky, I didn't rename others, and some I tried to rename but failed because I couldn't get the names to stick.
All of Gen C were born to played Sims.
Last/family names were mixed from the parents, whose were mixed from their parents. Manning and Falcon became Falman, and when Falman and Blackburn got together, they became Falburn.
When two of the same names have babies (usually because sibling affairs with in-laws), I mixed it up. Once, it was a lady who seduced a mother and son, so Beckman plus Scales became Scaleman and Beckscales. I tend to keep it at 1-5 syllables at most, generally 2, so it's not too messy, but I definitely start losing great grandparent names.
The 'official' records are: Snapshots, where I recap a household at time of switching families and Eulogies, where I recap a Sim's lifetime after their deaths.
Families always went Teen Daughter, Child Son in the beginning. I tried to go by household, but it turns out that those constantly change in ways that don't record well. ^ ^;
Due to length and link issues, I will likely be making a second page for Table of Contents. The links on this page are Eulogies
In only some order, my Save started with...
The Pancakes Family - married pair Bob and Eliza
The Whitfield Family - Craig, Dana, and their children Katherin and Stetson
The Angel Family - Lance, Ellie, and their children Danika and Waylon
The Overton Family - Jennifer and Maddox
The Cullen Family - Anna and her son Valentino
The Pike Family - Gabrielle and Rory, and their children Shawn and Jordan
The York Family - Cleo, and her children Ahmad and Fatima
The Pace Family - Katrina, and her children Kristina and Jefferson
The Scales Family - Shieu, and her children Janice and Dawson
The Holloway Family - Susan, and her children Evageline and Barry
The Brice Family - Chad and Nadine, and their son Walton
The Spencer-Kim-Lewis-Davis Family - Grandparents Dennis and Lydia, Parents Alice and Eric, and child Olivia
The Helton Family - Teens Dillon and Fernanda, and their grandparents who died early
The Pfeiffer Family - Genevieve and her children Benjamin, and Heven
The Blackburn Family - Husband and Wife couple, Annabelle and Bill
The McFarland Family - An old man and his unofficially adopted son, Javier
The Landgrabb Family - married couple Nancy and Geoffrey and YA son Malcolm
The Banks Family - Ayden, Krysten, and their children Lillian and Alan
The Walters Family - Husband and Wife whose names were lost by the game
The Caruso Family - Single Mother whose name was eaten by the game and her son Judah
The Merrill Family - Annie and her child Belmont
Individuals who didn't start as family but ended up paired
Imani Falcon - a sim I made in CAS to pair with someone
Colleen Manning - a townie Imani fell for instead
Lisa Moore - A townie I put into the Overtons to help raise Maddox
Jessie Boston - A townie Alien who lived with Colleen and Imani
Kian Padgett - a townie alien who lived with Jessie, Colleen, and Imani
Tiffani Hobson - a townie who Kian impregnated
Tatum Nixon - a townie that married (b) India Pancakes
Elsa Harms - an Alien who had a baby with Freddie Knapp
Freddie Knapp - A business man who hated kids but liked making them.
NPCs (not playing to death; leaving in the game) - Jana Puckett - A-gen - Mother of several and a high ranking surgeon - Sera Cerda - A-gen - A journalist and socialite
-Fatima York and Janice Scales - B gen - Hate Children and ran away to run a bakery
-Bianca Pancakes - B-gen - A womanizing Police Chief
Special Mention goes to townie Ariella Petty for Gino Pettyburn
Special Mention to townie Ava Tinsley for Ashlynn Puckley
Special Mention also goes to the hiccup with MCCC settings, resulting in Elaina Vatore, as resulting from Lilith and [I changed the game stuff so I can't see the other parent] and Justice Straus, child of Eden Ho and Vladislaus.
~~
Since I'm only linking eulogies, I can't link to anyone not dead/decommissioned yet. Will update as I can.

Emergency! Fic
Scratching out an ensemble piece. Of sorts.
...
A boy goes to a bank and takes out as much money as he can reckon is his by right. He packs a bag, and takes a bus. He grows his hair out long, and looks back at the town in the hills that bore him and schooled him and it isn't as if he misses the place, he only wishes he didn't know he had to get out.
He could have been another boy, another man, if he had only tried harder. But how his shoulders ached, carrying the weight of expectation, his mother's ulcer and his father's gaze, as much as he was ever sore from the fists of the bullies, as much as from the kick of the rifle, in the woods, and the drop of his first deer.
Far away, where the Mississippi cleaves the country with her wide, rusting blade, and cattle and grain slake their thirst and are slaughtered, a boy with no particular prospects for college, for learning of that sort - no one has ever accused him of being the smartest in the room - hoists a duffel, in a befuddlement of kisses from his mother. She has broad shoulders and round hips and rounder cheeks, and where he got height from his father he has her laugh. She wishes he wouldn't go, but his pops says boys all get the itch to get on the road a while. Better, his pops says, that he sees something of the country now, before the Draft Board pulls his number and the Army gives him a longer road to walk. There is talk in the news, of troops, from the president, from congress, something about a place across the Pacific, about communists.
This boy doesn't know much about communists. More than once, in winter, he'd stopped in the doorway of the workers' party on his way home from school and they had taken him in and given him a hot coffee for no charge, let him do his homework til the worst of it passed. Some of them worked with his pops, factory work. They were kind people, he thought. He was sad to leave them, sad to leave his ma and his pops, but pops was right, there was a lot of country to see and his number could be up any time. He wanted, he said, to see more than a deep prairie winter. Maybe see the ocean.
A world away, where the sky is broad and quick and changeable, where horses tough as sage and corn stalks roam about unhurried, and arroyos flash and fill with water at the soft suggestion of rain on the horizon, a boy - small for his age, with too much black hair and dark eyes that stir the bile of the BIA men when he comes, with his mother, to the depot to pick up the food box - has never been to enough school to be shoved around by bigger, pushier, mouthier boys. But he knows bullies all the same, the way they shove the box of cereals and beans and peanut butter at them, the way they look down at them even seated at a table under an awning, squinting. His mother takes him only seldom, because they do ask if a boy his size ought to be in school - but she and his aunts and his cousins and his father have been to the schools the BIA men mean to take him to, and she squeezes his hand too tightly and she will not have it. She will not let them take her beautiful, pony-tough son.
When he is not quite fourteen, she cannot hold tightly to him any longer. He needs to get an education. She tells him he is going on a bus - to California. He doesn't want to go. Even with the hate of the BIA men, the townfolk, even though he has outgrown every book she and his aunties and cousins can put in his hands, the thought of leaving the red stone and the sky fills him with something he later knows is grief. She tells him he has cousins there. They will take care of him and he will get a good education, he will go to a school that is a real school and not the place that tightens her jaw and whitens her eyes with fear, the place that no one talks about, the place where children go and they do not come back.
She will put him on a bus and he will cry all the way through Arizona.
The boy who will be the first grows up in suburban idyll, his family close, knit easily and evenly into the fabric of their neighborhood, neat swings and arcs and cul-de-sacs of matching sets of homes with matching families, bicycles dropped on the sidewalk, nestled in between the schools - elementary, junior high, and senior high - and the parks, and the freeways that are their God-given American-born right. The boy has a mom and a dad and a brother and only wonders what will be on the table at night, not if.
His father, who went to war, came back and bought a house and raised his family and read the newspaper every evening with a kind of yawning dread that his boys did not understand he prayed they never would. But the war came on anyway, as it always had and always would, because it seemed all the men with sense had died or got fat on their own glory and forgotten what the insides of a boy looked like, all scattered. Both his boys went to war. One never came home - came back stateside, sure, but never came home. His younger one came back with a firmness in his eyes that didn't come to most men til they were forty and had started a family. The younger one went to the west coast, looking for something, likely as not he was never going to find.
Roy, the boy from the suburbs with the varsity smile who went to war with a mechanic's hands and came back still smiling, but tighter now, as if he had to ration it - that boy, now a man, meets the boy from the Rez and the changeable sky, who is a slender man and small for his age, and meets his eyes.
Johnny, the boy from the Rez had never known the BIA men to do so. But he holds himself square. Says he will think about the offer. Says he will think about it. The corpse he pulls from a wire three days later puts a lot of thought into his mind, pours it in like coffee into the stained mug he pulls each workday morning from the station's communal cupboard. He signs the offer. It isn't about the money. It's just about the hope.
Bob, the boy who left behind the Illinois winter to walk into fire with a sixty-pound tank on his back and the lives of men in his hands turns the chair around and leans into the desk and says you tell me I get trained, this bill gets passed, maybe that kid I scraped off the freeway last week doesn't die before I get him to a doctor, maybe that fella on the crosstown bus doesn't leave behind a wife and kids, you tell me I sign up, I get trained, and there's at least a maybe? I got my own pen.
Craig, the boy who was never going to be the man his father wanted, walks into the paramedic services office which might as well have been a closet, at the end of the hall with the still-handwritten sign on the door, without prompting. He says, this is where I sign up for the training, isn't it? Yes, it is. Good, he says. The man who wields the paper (not the boy from the suburbs, who spends his days now with the boy from the Rez, and both their smiles are broader for it) stammers and sputters and says, don't you even wanna know what it's all about? Craig says: I know what the training entails. What he doesn't say because no one ever cares to hear it is that he joined the fire service because it meant something, it counted, it counted against the times he never said anything, the times he ran, the times he raised his rifle, the blood in the snow.
At scene, four boys, grown men. A fire rages and enrages, a tiger leaping after rabbits on the dusty hillside below the road. At scene, two cars, four men, six kids, who had up until the moment of impact perhaps been laughing. At scene two cars in pieces, six kids, three on the road, two covered up, one sobbing, retching. Two in what's left of one car and one in the other, slumped over the steering wheel, struggling to breathe. Six young wild hearts and only four left beating and one is showing the strain, its valves gasping on empty vessels, faster, faster, struggling to keep up. Six kids, two dead on the hill, one in a police car, one sticking his thumb out for a hearse, two with a shot, yet.
The one at the wheel looks as if he is only sleeping. When the engine crew pulls him off he codes, and Roy's father told him the car don't run if it's got no fuel in it, son. It's all on the seat, all on the floor, all congealing in the powder blue carpet of someone's father's Buick. He codes, and they fight for him, they do. They fight for the hope drenching the earth. They falter.
Two with a shot. Four men, take a piece of the action. The police take the weeping one. The only one unscathed. How do you get out of this, this fucking mess, with hardly a scratch? The kids haven't even been drinking. No bottles clanking in the back. No pull-tabs lurking to cut a sandaled foot. How do you make it off the hill alive and come home and go back to school and know how blood smells on tarmac?
At Rampart, Bob picks up the box of supplies and Craig picks up the drug box and they take over the table in the breakroom and Craig goes through, piece by piece, replacing what they've used, and Bob hands things over. Now and then he mentions baseball scores.
Roy and Johnny come in for coffee.
Four boys, grown men. Tired.
Craig had said once, cheerfully: "It's possible I'm over-cautious."
Bob had rolled his eyes, but handed him another roll of gauze.
Roy is going to walk them both right back out of that breakroom before Johnny grabs an extra mug and says how bout you guys you want some?
Roy is going to stop him right there when Craig says yes, please. And Bob says sure, thanks.
And the boy with the rifle and the boy with his mother's laugh and the boy with the hands for fixing and the boy who wears his heart on his sleeve bound up with a ribbon of blue sky sit at the table four men with four mismatched cups of coffee. They don't talk much.
Not much they need to say.
