Title: Home Sweet Home?
Post by: Raven on March 19, 2014, 06:12:40

Once upon a time, Mr Rich the farmer needed to go away and leave his house empty.

It did not take long before the squatters came.

Moss found a way in.

'We should cover the windows,' said Sky to Rainbow.

When they ran out of fabric, they used whatever else they could find.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S06_zpsbd57fe4e.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S06_zpsbd57fe4e.jpg.html)

Though, admittedly, the other members of the household were not as neat as Sky.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S07_zps9d00dde4.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S07_zps9d00dde4.jpg.html)

But the overall result was achieved.

The family took a trip to the secondhand store and bought some furniture and rugs.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S09_zpsea1efdc7.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S09_zpsea1efdc7.jpg.html)

They made the place look a little more homely.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S10_zpsf1c9cd08.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S10_zpsf1c9cd08.jpg.html)

'We really should have bought some seating, though,' said Moss.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S12_zps010e725c.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S12_zps010e725c.jpg.html)

Later, however, they got some bean bags and floor cushions.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S13_zps0f438554.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S13_zps0f438554.jpg.html)

And some better secondhand beds.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S14_zps9ca6a995.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S14_zps9ca6a995.jpg.html)

Little Willow, sadly, had long been depressed by living without daylight.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S15_zps7f392a59.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S15_zps7f392a59.jpg.html)

So some risks were taken, letting more light enter the children's bedroom.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S16_zps8d552a7a.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S16_zps8d552a7a.jpg.html)

And some of the coverings were removed at the side of the sitting room.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S17_zpsb566a4e6.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S17_zpsb566a4e6.jpg.html)

The inevitable happened.  Their lights were spotted.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S18_zpsa89eade3.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S18_zpsa89eade3.jpg.html)

Moss went onto the balcony to talk to the police.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S19_zps2bc94681.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S19_zps2bc94681.jpg.html)

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S20_zpsa46afde6.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S20_zpsa46afde6.jpg.html)

The police returned with Mr Rich the farmer, who realised that it would be both lengthy and costly to evict Moss' family.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S21_zps1ff4fcae.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S21_zps1ff4fcae.jpg.html)

And so, instead, Mr Rich agreed to rent the house to them.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S22_zpsf51c463f.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S22_zpsf51c463f.jpg.html)

Moss, Sky, and Rainbow were happy to remove the remaining window coverings - and to finally have electricity connected.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S23_zps0843f510.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S23_zps0843f510.jpg.html)

Mr Rich even installed a new kitchen for them.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S24_zps759da3ca.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S24_zps759da3ca.jpg.html)

And another family came to join them!

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S25_zps3254deaa.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S25_zps3254deaa.jpg.html)

The new family soon settled in.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S26_zps330fd855.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S26_zps330fd855.jpg.html)

And the children got on well together.

For a long time, they lived very peacefully.  They worked in the garden.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S28_zpsf8a9de5c.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S28_zpsf8a9de5c.jpg.html)

They painted the bathroom.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S29_zps69459f19.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S29_zps69459f19.jpg.html)

They ate well.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S30_zpsdd03c666.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S30_zpsdd03c666.jpg.html)

They slept well.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S31_zps8b430b5e.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S31_zps8b430b5e.jpg.html)

And they took delight in the small things.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S32_zps68b569ab.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S32_zps68b569ab.jpg.html)

But then....

The children were scared by noises in the night.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S33_zps74bd744c.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S33_zps74bd744c.jpg.html)

And the whole household feared what every dweller in Playmoville fears.

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S34_zpsc5174ae9.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S34_zpsc5174ae9.jpg.html)

And then one night it happened....

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S35_zps7d8533a8.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S35_zps7d8533a8.jpg.html)

The Beast came.

The Beast of Destruction

The one that comes to wreck havoc in the night.

There was only one thing for it:

(http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i157/Raven461/S39_zps99b66681.jpg) (http://s71.photobucket.com/user/Raven461/media/S39_zps99b66681.jpg.html)

The families are seeking a Beast-free home.

They have a ladder.  They will find one, somewhere.

 :apple:  >> that's to show how excited I am over your story  ;D

I think it looks awesome, especially because you used so many different materials that work perfectly with the PM stuff. I creates the sort of look you'd want for a squatted building. I love that dream catcher in the children's bedroom, the posters hanging on the walls and the mix of furniture.
And the clickies and names were well chosen too.

That surprise at the end made me laugh out loud - although I hope they find a new home soon...

Great story to read over my morning coffee. Please make more  :cheerlead:

Lovely story. You used very nice pictures of the cosy furnitured house. I thought it was going to end in love and peace  O0

But your ending is very realistic. My three gardentigers also attack our Playmobil-city once in a while. Thank you!

A very well made and original story! Love the details, the characters and their names! From which set is that cat?  ;)
Hope to see more!

Cute story. I fear Playmoville will be under threat from the Beast of Night for many years yet. Perhaps they need to organize a special Guard to keep an eye out in the evenings.

Fantastic! Such a funny story, and I loved the "beast." Lots of great details, like the lanterns suspended from the ceilings!
