The Fish Legacy - 02.01
Last time on The Fish Legacy:
Guitar got together with Jaycee and knocked her up. They had a baby girl named Rivuline. Banjo hit on multiple boys; only one did not reject her. At the end of the entry she aged up into a Young Adult.
Less than 24 hours after I posted the poll, the score was 5-0 in favor of Banjo.
And thank goodness for that, because I'm tired of Jaycee creeping on Axolotl every time she plays her organ.
Guitar edits and uploads a couple of videos while the rest of the household goes on a Winterfest volunteer adventure.
Then they have their final dinner as a family.
Thank you, game, for reminding me I want to move her out before I get attached she ages up into a toddler.
I'm not so cruel as to evict them during Winterfest, however, so...
Present time!
Clement Frost creeps into the house to do some reverse burgler-ing.
And Guitar pops the question.
Time for yet another round of celebratory woo--waaait a minute. That's not your bed.
Banjo: Is THAT how it's done?!?
Banjo: It looks so...moist.
...Go find another bed, Banjo.
Orrrrr run into Clement Frost in the hallway. That's fine, too, I guess.
Clement Frost: Oh, ho, ho! The tingle in my hand tells me you're a very naughty girl.
🤢
Clement Frost: Just the way I like them.
🤮
Banjo, don't.
...She did.
I realized we have only had one screenshot of Rivuline, so here ya go.
She has Jaycee's eye color and skin tone. I'm curious to see how she turns out.
Guitar: Bye sis.
Are you sad you weren't voted heir?
Guitar: Honestly? I feel like I dodged a bullet.
Yeah, you probably did.
I don't understand how those three can possibly have $20,000 when neither of them have a job and no one's giving them any money, but whatever.
Maid: You must be crazy if you think I'm going to come back and clean for the family that paid me nothing the day their laundry machine set me on fire.
Kayla: Okay, but what if...we gave you lots of money?
Maid: Well, I do like money....
Maid: But I won't be doing your laundry anymore.
Fair enough.
So, it turns out Banjo has this whim 90% of the time. Obviously, I plan to act on it whenever possible.
Whenever. Possible.
It's getting really close to Axolotl's birthday.
Like, really close.
Axolotl: Ow, Kayla, my back! I'm too old for this!
Banjo wanted to meet someone at a bar. I had her invite Donnie since Rowan? Rene? Ralph? is still a teen.
I guess I could just glance at the previous entry I wrote, but that involves glancing at the previous entry I wrote, so.
Donnie: I heard you've been hitting on pretty much every guy you meet.
Banjo: Are you jealous?
Donnie: Maaaaybe.
Banjo looks like she's about to take great pleasure in rejecting him.
Which would have worked out great except he chose that very moment to jump up from his chair and run out of the bar.
That's okay, though. Banjo is quite popular these days.
I mean, just because we say yes doesn't mean we have to spend any time with him...right?
Her first stop? The bar.
Then it's off to the dance floor.
Banjo: Has anyone ever done a bold pickup line on you?
Uriel: Not yet, but I'm open to new things.
You look...uncomfortable, Banjo. Is everything okay?
Banjo: What do you mean? This is my sexy face.
Banjo: And these are my sexy lips!
Uriel: MMMPH
...You know what? I just realized why he looks so familiar.
He was at Jaycee's sister's birthday party.
He's Jaycee's brother in law.
And Jaycee's standing right behind them watching everything.
I don't know, Guitar. This could be pretty awkward.
Aw. It's only been a day or two, but it's good to see his face.
I was worried Rivuline would never age into a toddler, so I used this opportunity to age her up.
She looks like she has Axolotl's chin, at least, and maybe also her nose.
Aw. I promise you'll have a grandbaby in the house before you die.
I mean, I can't actually promise that, I guess, but.
Wow, Donnie. Make up your mind about Banjo, will ya?
This date is going considerably better than any of their previous encounters.
Considerably better.
Donnie: Wanna go back to your place for a post-dinner snacc?
Did...did you pronnounce the double "c"?
Well, it didn't take long for your "buy a hot tub" whim to come in handy, did it?
Honestly, this is the most hilariously-timed quirk.
Is anyone surprised he leaves as soon as they're done?
...Anyone at all?
That evening, Kayla and Axoltol have their own (much more adorable) hot tub adventure.
I took waaaay too many screenshots of them.
But they did things like the teaser image of this entry and I couldn't help myself.
I built a music room for Axolotl in the latest re-re-re-re-rebuild of the house. Since it's her last day as an Adult, I'm going to focus only on her for a bit.
I SAID I'm going to focus ONLY ON AXOLOTL for a bit.
Wait--who made you what way now?
Ohhhhh. That way.
Banjo: WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THERE IS A CORRELATION BETWEEN WOOHOO AND PREGNANCY?
Kayla: ...we did?
Banjo: I highly doubt that.
Oh, jeez, EA. Why would you even remind me of this?
In other news, we received this a loooong time ago and I want to place it while Axolotl's still young.
Are we going to be this petty?
Of course we're going to be this petty.
Banjo (autonomously) decided to deface Dirk Dreamer's celebrity tile while everyone was distracted.
Then as soon as they returned home she (autonomously) destroyed one of the many, many snowpals on their lot.
...That better be a mocktail, Banjo.
Almost as soon as I had that thought, Banjo burst into her second trimester.
Banjo: Where did all this confetti come from??
Have you grown tired of me pausing in the middle of each entry to appreciate how beautiful she is?
Banjo shares her Big News with Guitar.
Guitar: ...You're joking, right?
And with Kayla.
Who proceeds to have a breakdown.
Then Uriel happens to knock on the door and I figured why don't we get a reaction from him, too?
But first! Axoltol reached the top of her career on her very last day of adulthood!!!
Banjo: Guess what?? I'm pregnant!!
Uriel: But...we only kissed!
That is the haunted look of a man wondering how to break the news to his wife and children.
Axolotl: Uh, honey? Is everything okay?
Kayla: Of course. Everything's fine. Blow out your candles.
Kayla: I'M GOING TO MURDER OUR SECOND CHILD!!!
Axolotl: *is (rightfully) alarmed*
Aw. I had forgotten what old lady Axolotl looks like. ♥
And we'll end with Axolotl, who had the only cute reaction to Banjo's big news.
Juuuust kidding. She, too, wondered how this possibly could have happened.
