Last time: The kids grew into teens and started skilling up in anticipation of college, the parents became elders, money was lost, (lots more) money was gained, and Amalthea and Izabela decided they hated each other.
After a good long time of skilling and working, the young'uns apply for scholarships and head to college. Here's the run down:
Amalthea left everyone in the dust. No surprises there.
Premakeover Young Adults:
Amalthea.
Izabela (whose anger toward her sister has yet to cease).
Izabela: How DARE she copy my hair. RAGE.
Sebastian (wins for best age-transition outfit).
And...Marcos, who has no face.
A trip to the mirror solves that. Marcos! Didn't end up needing a true makeover at all.
This becomes a frequent sight in the house (I gave up on dorms, since these kids had so much scholarship money, plus the funds Emilia accumulated. They live in a very cramped little house).
RAAGE! What are they looking at?
Marcos, who just...does this sometimes.
First visitor to the Johannes' college domain.
Emilia threw a party to try to get her siblings into the college life. Apparently it was terrible, even though from this picture it looks pretty hoppin'.
Yet the cops still show up. Unfortunately this only gives you street cred in the real world.
Nothing has changed. Food sleeping is still the Thing To Do.
Marcos met this girl one day. She was possibly going to be a more interesting character but everyone went to class and no one cared.
Speaking of going to class, Emilia knows how to dress for success.
Random Girl and Cheerleader hung out in the house for awhile. Just hangin' out, researchin'. Like you do.
Here's what everyone else did instead of socializing:
Marcos cleaned (he loves cleaning).
Izabela had narcissistic dreams.
Amalthea dreamt of new additions to the family (PLEASE NOT UNTIL SOMEONE MOVES OUT OH GEEZ).
Sebastian hated on the hot tub.
And Emilia splashed in puddles in her pajamas.
(funny story: she did this for so long I hadn't realized she'd gotten home from class for awhile).
Taking after your mother, I see? Fire #1. Thanks Sebastian!
Moments later, fire #2!
Slightly longer increment of time, and they're at it again! Fire #3.
Note Amalthea and Izabela in the midst of a slapfest, not caring at all.
Later that night, fire #4.
SERIOUSLY SEBASTIAN? SERIOUSLY?
...fire #5. or #6. Regardless, WAY TOO MANY FIRES FOR LESS THAN 24 HOURS. I think it may have been less than 12 hours, actually.
Emilia carries on with her autonomously cleaning self.
Time for some major declarations:
Sebastian: Mathematics
Izabela: Art
Notice how they sit far, far apart and do not talk nor make eye contact.
Brief interlude in which Izabela picks a fight with Miss 7-Body-Points-Amalthea and loses magnificently.
If this is Amalthea's game face, I'd be scared.
She celebrated her victory by declaring a Psychology major. Just like Emilia.
(Marcos didn't declare yet. He was indecisive.)
Lightening stikes the exercise machine! Amalthea and Marcos successfully put it out without killing themselves, and even manage to save the thing. Interesting to note is that moments before the lightening struck, Sebastian had been exercising.
This seems like the kind of situation they could broadcast over the internet for money. Luckily they aren't strapped for cash at all.
Izabela never actually wrote anything, but instead just sat there looking shocked and thinking about how she didn't want Emilia (sitting behind her) to look. I think she might have been reading her sister's journal. It is the only explanation.
Marcos finally made the decision to study Political Science.
Someone caught fireflies and Sebastian sat for hours just staring at them. Maybe it's a knowlege sim thing.
Izabela: Good job staying in school, bro!
She thinks about disliking her sister even in her dreams. This anger runs deep.
Mascot: I was in prison once, you know.
Amalthea: That's cool! Did you have lots of best friends?!
Amalthea's kind of adorable.
Is your sister really that boring, Emilia?
The mascot comes over and studies every day. Without fail.
The emnity rages on: Izabela innocently painting while Amalthea glares and punches her palm, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Marcos is totally grossed out by his sister's public displays of affection.
Still playing together after all this time.
THAT SHOULD NOT BE HOW SIBLINGS DANCE, YOU TWO.
(That's Marcos, not Sebastian)
Another fight breaks out.
And another.
The result is the same. Izabela is vengeful now.
Sebastian: Congratulations on Dean's List!
Emilia: Thanks!
Amalthea and Izabela: #%$@#$#!!!
No one even cares about the fact that they're constantly fighting anymore.
Or, that is, when they do care, they just cheer. Probably place bets, too.
It'd be an easy one to call, since Amalthea is probably 475937987239874293434 to none at this point.
Em was getting sort of bored and angry so she called her loverbuddy Elton Murgatroyd over for some woohoo action.
Elton appeared to be more interesting in studying.
It took forever, but finally he remembered the reason he was there.
At the first snow, the Quads make snowmen:
Sebastian: Why does mine get the boring hat?
Lady I've never seen before: Congratulations on Dean's List!
Emilia: (I am so hungry right now)
Apparently the old lady took too long to leave, and Emilia was forced to take a nap, Johannes-style.
Also, these kids hate sleeping in their beds. They only do so when directed to. Sleeping in a plate of food is preferred to a bed. I don't get it. Must be a carry-over from their
glitchy childhood days.
#6. Or 7. Whatever.
The coach shows up and yells at everyone even though no one was even remotely overweight. As you can see by Sebastian's reaction, no one cared.
Amalthea, you were supposed to be the smart one! Why are you eating that rotten cereal D:
She gets food poisoning and spends a lot of time throwing up and cleaning the toilet after herself.
As this entry comes to a close, I leave you with two images that seem to rather typify two of the Quads:
First, we have Marcos Johannes on a College Rampage, which in his case, means sitting at a table making this face for five hours. Top score!
And here's Izabela, who once again proved her superior intelligence by having pillowfights in the snow for too long. Woo!
Next time: Everyone finishes college, and one is chosen to carry on the family line!
