Foxglove Legacy 1.4
Aloha! Last time, twins Schuyler and Tuesday were born and became precious little toddlers. A very frightening run-in with a creeptastic vampire was had, all the while Polly and Kingston (lostavenuea) couldn't keep their hands off each other. Thus, baby Royal was born and the family relocated to a more family-friendly residence. Birthdays were had, homework was grudgingly completed, clothes were not worn, and the previous update ended with Pingston (Polly + Kingston, aren't I clever?) hailing a cab so the next Foxglove child could have a hospital birth. Oh, and Schuyler and Tuesday may have grown into very beautiful teenagers, too.
Aaaaand here is the new baby! She's named Viola since I've been waiting for ages to give a sim that name. It's one of my favorites. :3
Polly: I SMELL A CHANGE IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
Oh, nbd. You just missed your firstborn children's birthdays.
Kingston: Should I go inside? Nah, maybe I should just wait out here and see if this blows over.
Kingston's a pretty smart cookie, if you ask me.
Then it's time for Royal's birthday!
Schuyler: My mother is laughing at Royal, isn't she?
Polly: Hahaha look at his face! What a freakazoid! I just can't stop laughing!
Oh, Polly.
Royal: So, did I grow up well?
HAHAHAHAHA.
Oh my god. That muscle shirt. What in the world. I can't.
I just...I don't even know. When he grew up like this, I almost snorted soda out of my nose. I had to join Polly in cackling at her son for a moment. XD Sorry, Royal. You know I still love you. <3
He also gained the family-oriented trait.
I gave him a makeover which is probably only slightly less embarrassing, but it seemed to fit the young chap, so I went with it. Also, yay for a shirt with my starter pokemon on it. :3
Schuyler: What...do I do with this thing?
I dunno, feed her? Change her nappies? Coo at her?
Meanwhile, Tuesday has learned to be a bit more careful with her potion-making.
There wasn't enough room inside the house, so to make use of Schuyler's eccentric trait, I had to put the workbench outside. :/
I might possibly - just maybe - love this kid.
And here's little Viola! She is a complete clone of Polly in the face, but she's still quite an adorable toddler. I might have forgotten her traits, though...
Polly: Oh, I feel a birthday coming on...try to look excited! It's not a big deal at all!
Polly: See? You know I've still got it.
I actually do think Polly aged well. And neither she nor Kingston ever got a midlife crisis. Ain't no visits from the drama llama in this house.
This image is brought to you by The Gallery of Schuyler Looking Impassive in Random Outfits. I think she was on her way to school here.
After school on the same day...when did she change into her swimwear?
Viola got an IF named Peaches. I was kind of sad to see that Royal was the only child to not receive an IF...
Especially since he's the good child who cleans up after everyone else (read: Polly).
Royal does enjoy holding great feasts in the treehouse, though. :)
Of course, being the grumpy child, Tuesday would be the first to wake up with a mood swing.
Schuyler: It feels great to be so blithely insane!
Of course Tuesday sets traps nearly everywhere to vent her pent-up angst and general discontent.
She even sneaks into the school after-hours to unleash her moodiness in the form of...frogs.
Success~!
Royal: Wearing this makes my dinner feel so much more dignified.
Royal: I decree that since dragons are sentient beings, we must try to be nice to them! Let's all just simmer down, have a dinner party together, and just agree to get along!
I feel like Royal would be the kindest monarch ever.
Kingston: What the-?
Kingston: Shit! Who did this?!
Surprisingly, Tuesday wasn't caught for any of the pranks that she set the other day.
Also, this happened. Mo' money for the Foxgloves, yay!
Polly: Did someone just say money?! Can we buy more trampolines with it?
Wealthier or not, Schuyler still wakes up the next day feeling as moody as her sister did on the previous one.
But, it's a weekend, so I have Tuesday and Schuyler get out of the house in the hopes that they can run into some pixel_trade sims.
And look! Wild PT sims appeared!
I might have tracked them to the park...that's not cheating, right? :P
Tuesday laughs it up with brilliantcat 's teenified Pericles LaShay.
Schuyler has a lot less success with her prey, Carver Bumble-Embassy by kittenmittons .
Carver: Are you going to say anything to me or just continue staring? I'm aware that my skin is blue, you know...
Back at the Foxglove homestead, Tuesday manages to make more progress with Carver.
Tuesday: Sorry about my sister...she's not all there in the head, but then again, who is?
Carver: ...Maybe this girl is more normal and less frightening.
Tuesday: So, um, what are your thoughts on shotgun marriages?
Royal: CAUTION: WE HAVE REACHED A DANGEROUS LEVEL OF AWKWARDNESS. TERMINATE CONVERSATION IMMEDIATELY.
What better way to bond than to pillow fight with your newfound stalker friend?
I was wondering where Schuyler was, then I saw her reading Royal to sleep. Aww, what a good big sister.
Schuyler: And then Bella Swan thought, "About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him - and I didn’t know how potent that part might be - that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."
Royal: Lol, dis bitch.
Polly: I have a strange feeling that I'm being tricked into going on vacation...
Yep, that's right! Polly and Kingston got the free vacation opportunity aka window for naughty teen parties.
The weirdo babysitter makes his comeback! But he's not really doing his job well, is he? Poor Viola, I haven't really paid much attention to her. :(
Babysitter: I'm so sexy that it hurtssssss!
Why do I always find Schuyler when she's looking so impassive? Maybe she's a silently crazy sim, private and self-contained?
She sure seemed to want to throw a teen party, though.
Schuyler: You bet it'll be awesome! We're the most popular people on this island! ...No, we don't have a bubbler blower...I know, it makes me sad...Wha-No! Of course there won't be llamas at this party, that's so last season!
Tuesday: Who's the cutest little girl who's going to stay in here and play nice while we party? You are! You are!
Carver and Pericles are their only party guests. Some ~wild teen party they'll be having. Although Pericles does decide to start things off nicely by giving the babysitter a noogie.
Schuyler: You know my sister, Tuesday, right? Well - and this is just between you and me, bud - I think she's taken a very special liking to you rather than this Pericles guy. I may or may not be saying this because I want to cause my sister trouble, but there you have it.
Carver: Uh, okay. Can I go inside now? It's dark out here and it's a bit alarming watching those two roughhouse with each other.
Pericles: Meh, he'll never beat me. That was a piece of cake.
Babysitter: I am being SO FIERCE right now.
Tuesday: HI!! I come in peace, I swear!
Carver: H-hi. You scared me a bit, there. The yelling was a bit unnecessary since I'm right here.
Carver: Wait, this isn't a ploy to marry me into some whacko legacy family, is it?
Nice breaking the fourth wall there, Carver.
Can you spot what's wrong with this picture?
Is it:
a) Pericles and Tuesday eyeing each other WHILE SHE IS DANCING WITH CARVER?
or
b) Schuyler dancing with the babysitter?
...
If you answered both, you're correct!
Also, hi Royal! <3
SERIOUSLY.
What, what, WHAT are you doing?
Carver: I feel like something inappropriate is happening right in front of me. Huh.
Really, now. They are practically eye-fucking each other. jlkfjlekgrj this is thwarting all my well-laid plans!
Carver: Oh wow, Tuesday's actually really pretty when she smiles.
Yet however much Pericles and Tuesday were staring into each others' souls, she was only rolling wants for Carver, so I went with it.
Royal: Attention! We have reached intergalactic levels of strangeness!
It looks as though the creepo babysitter who decided to stay for the entire party (to which he wasn't at all invited) isn't much of a ~*dancing queen*~.
Carver: What is this feeling?
Of course, Tuesday and Carver aren't flirting it up in private. That'd be too classy.
Nope, Schuyler's also managing to charm Pericles.
Schuyler: Um, I think this is the right thing to do. Are these good?
Pericles: What man DOESN'T love flowers~? *stuffs face in them*
Carver: Why do I think she's cute? Uh, what do I do now?
Tuesday: So I might possibly definitely like you...
Tuesday: *goes in for le first kiss*
Carver: *is shocked*
Awww, yay! I was actually really worried that Carver would reject Tuesday because he comes across as really reserved most of the time.
And seriously, how cute is that face? ♥♥
Carver: Even if I thought you were pretty strange at first, I still can't believe someone as intelligent and beautiful as you likes me.
Tuesday: Well, then. Would you, um, wanna date me?
He said yes, of course. :)
Wow, Schuyler also managed to get her first kiss!
But, uh...this babysitter is a creep. Leave. Now. YOU'RE RUINING THE ~ROMANCE~.
Well, uh, that's awkward. I guess Schuyler's kiss was so wonderful it made him pass out?
Then, the party ended, and a very exhausted Carver and Pericles were told to leave. Polly and Kingston would be home in one hour.
The creepy babysitter never did leave, but another one came for some reason that escapes me. I guess this proves that anyone can find love. Even EA townies with poop-colored hair.
Why is Polly yelling at Tuesday when Schuyler was the one who started the party? ...Actually, speaking of Schuyler, what is she doing?
Polly: I just can't believe how irresponsible you are!
Schuyler: There's something in the air...Bob Dylan, are you there?!
Polly: YOU HAVE AN INFANT SISTER AND YOUNG BROTHER TO LOOK AFTER. AND YOU THREW A PARTY.
Tuesday: O-okay, M-mom...I'm s-sorry...
Schuyler: I'm gonna catch you, Bob Dylan! Mark my words!
Polly: I won't be able to trust you again for a long time! You're grounded, so look at your life! Look at your choices!
Schuyler: GOTCHA!
Polly: And don't think you're getting of easy! What were you doing? You're grounded, too. And knock it off with that Bob Dylan nonsense!
Schuyler: B-but Bob was going to tell me how to be super famous...
Thus, things were very tense in the Foxglove house for a while. Especially with Polly's hot temper finally lashing out at everyone.
In other news, since Kingston topped the military career he's been a one-star celebrity...which means the family now has paparazzos watching their house 24/7.
As expected, Tuesday doesn't really care that she's been grounded. She has her potion set, and when she wants to talk to Carver, they talk on the phone. Plus, they can make out during their breaks at school.
She also continues to singe herself by putting the wrong chemicals together. It seems like getting singed also messes up her eyes. -.-
Polly: So, how does being grounded feel? Does it hurt? Is guilt eating you alive?
Schuyler: Actually, mom, I was just thinking of how many dimensions of flavor this sandwich has. Bravo.
Royal: I love you guys~ ♥
Kingston is still a BAMF. And since I forgot to mention it before - he quit being an astronaut so he could join the pro sports career. Kind of a major downgrade, I know, but he's an ambitious sim that likes getting promotions, so I thought it'd be good for him.
See? Tuesday has zero remorse about that party or about her pranks.
Kingston is a total trampoline whore.
(It also looks like the sun is shining out of his ass, teehee.)
Kingston: So, don't tell your mom this, but...I feel bad that you kids are grounded...so, uh, consider yourself un-grounded.
Tuesday: Really?! Thanks, Dad.
Aw, he went and did this on his own. I think Kingston's just a big softie.
See? Case in point.
Then, it's time for Viola's birthday.
Yes, that is Polly standing at an inappropriately close distance behind KIngston.
Polly: Hahaha, look at that kid growing up! What is she wearing? Hahaha!
Oh, Polly.
Admittedly, Viola did look a little funny.
Carver: What are you trying to do?! Hug me? Ew!
What.
Oh, okay. You're alright with making out with Tuesday, but not hugging her? That makes a lot of sense.
Please excuse the fact that I didn't take a ~post-makeover~ snapshot of Viola. But here she is dining on fine cake with her classy siblings.
Schuyler: Don't you think this house would be better if we had a mummy? Or two?
Viola: Uh...no. Now let me ignore you in peace while I eat this cake.
Heehee, I love you, Royal.
Looks like Polly and Kingston are still hot for each other.
Peaches, like all other IFs in my game so far, seems to particularly enjoy the pursuit of standing behind their 'owner,' looking lost and a bit stalker-y.
Time for another birthday!
Tuesday: Another one of these? *grumble grumble*
Kingston: My only son, growing up. Is that a manly tear sliding down my cheek?
This is Royal right after ge grew up. Don't worry, I give him a makeover later. Like magic, he became a virtuoso along with his aging into teenhood. We now have a functional member of the family! All positive traits (good sense of humor, athletic, family-oriented, virtuoso). Weeeeeeird.
It's so odd, but ever since Schuyler and Tuesday took a field trip to the Bistro when they were kids, Sky has had this weird obsession with cooking. Hey, at least she seems to enjoy it.
Woah! It's Viola! What a surprise.
It's seriously lame how much I neglected Viola, but once I realized that she was exactly like Polly except with Kingston's hair color, I pretty much considered her ineligible for continuing the legacy. :/
Guess what these two are doing?
Yeah. :|
Then, they go back to doing this. I guess for them bickering just increases their horniness love?
There's definitely still lots of...passion between Polly and Kingston.
Tuesday...singed...again. Nothing new here. The fact that her alien eye contacts go away when she's singed bothers me, though.
Schuyler: Hey, I just thought I'd tell you that the charred look really works for you.
Tuesday: *cough* What?
Schuyler: It really, really looks good. You should make this your everyday look.
Tuesday: Uh...okay, Sky. Wanna sit down now?
Schuyler: Don't mind if I do.
Tuesday: We certainly are an odd bunch, aren't we?
And finally, here's Royal's makeover! I gave him hip glasses, a hip sweater, a hip 'stache...
...and even some hip green shoes.
And that's all for now! :)
Next time: Prom, MOAR birthdays, and plenty of romancing.
Thanks for reading! ♥
