Well, if they ran away, the story would be over, so let's not have that happen quite yet. It's only Chapter 5, LOL.<br /><br />The Leader has to keep them brainwashed somehow, and one of the best ways to manipulate kids is to give them what they want sometimes. >:D<br /><br />Well, when, you've never been allowed to be near water of any kind, it's difficult to learn skills that are related to water, right? :D The seclusion of the cult members is very extreme, and I'm glad you picked up on that and how it amazed you. <br /><br />Titanium is also confused right now since he's never been taught anything about love. He just knew that he thought Absolon was attractive.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-67738774541651649672015-01-26T10:25:29.471-08:002015-01-26T10:25:29.471-08:00Wow that woman in the car was probably another rec...Wow that woman in the car was probably another recruit...Those boys should run away whenever they get the chance to. <br />As much as I dislike Mr.Leader, it was pretty nice to see the boys enjoy themselves instead of being his little puppets while he sits on his ass.<br />It's really amazing how the boys don't know how to swim...I mean yeah there's some people who can't swim but they've never been to a beach or been in the ocean until now. It just really shows how shut off they are from not just the people, but the world itself.<br />I can't wait to see how the boys meet Mrs.Balestrom and Absolon. Camo was funny as usual lol. <br />Titanium's confusion was quite interesting, I don't think they will tolerate his feelings though.littlesims2chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12688461785560031787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-64091822151656738862013-10-17T10:41:38.135-07:002013-10-17T10:41:38.135-07:00Well, the boys are pretty numb to things having gr...Well, the boys are pretty numb to things having grown up there. They've never been taught what love is, or even what it's like to really care about someone. Not to mention they both find Zinfandel annoying, honestly they don't really like her that much, she's just another person who lives there, and Isolation is a reality. It seems shocking to us who are not in a cult, but for them, the possibility of being thrown in Isolation is something they live with every day. Titanium has actually already been indifferent for many years ever since his friend died. You've got to be very manipulative to run a cult, because you have to make your members think everything is fine as you do horrible things to them. LOL. Camo doesn't have any eye candy to look at in the cult, everyone wears long skirts and high necklines and they don't make any effort to look good. That girl was the first pretty person he'd seen ever. Haha. =) I love Camo, he's my favorite.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-56056863194599226012013-10-17T05:12:14.226-07:002013-10-17T05:12:14.226-07:00I am surprised that the boys did not react to Zinf...I am surprised that the boys did not react to Zinfandel being in isolation, especially Titanium. I don't think that he has forgotten the childhood friend who didn't make it out, so I am really concerned that maybe he is becoming indifferent. Mr. Leader is really a sly one. Sugar coating everything, give a little, maintain control. Ugh! .... Camo is so much a boy. *L* He's a great character and a great friend for Titanium.Zhippidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570869365967598793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-55820959109821017962013-05-01T18:21:02.795-07:002013-05-01T18:21:02.795-07:00Hi!

Since this story is pretty much a memory of Titanium, we do know that at least that Titanium and Camo for sure escape the cult and get control of their lives.LateKnightSimmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641353218072486154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-73197370841797851852013-05-01T15:23:22.276-07:002013-05-01T15:23:22.276-07:00Just read the chapters 4 and 5 and I agree with An...Just read the chapters 4 and 5 and I agree with Anna that it is sad how quickly people can be manipulated brainwashed by cult leaders in thinking that this is the only way to live and big consequences if you don't. At least the compound residents are able to go outside for awhile and I hope that eventually they can get back the freedom of controlling their lives.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912618592193574165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5912109957662839455.post-52108362951005624912013-04-25T07:29:11.312-07:002013-04-25T07:29:11.312-07:00Pretty messed up, huh?

The first time, he was a teenage boy, so that's just kind of self-explanatory, ha-ha! Plus he'd been surrounded his whole life by girls who dressed like old ladies, so he was in desperate need of some eye candy. As an adult he's really grateful for his wife's personality and appearance. I kind of wrote a little of myself into Camo's personality cause I'm always like 'ooh hot guy.'
