The Fratelli Legacy 1.3
Hey everybody, welcome back to the Fratelli Legacy! Last time, a bunch of stuff happened I'm too unwilling to go back and look at. Y'all know what happened. The girls became children, they were adorable, and My Cousin Skeeter felt a little bad about nobody believing Janelle about him being real. WHAT'S HAPPENING THIS TIME?? Let's find out.
(It's a p. big update, y'all, buckle in.)
It's Frankie's birthday!! She aged up right outside her work, in the middle of the night. Hence the crappy photo. It just looked so stupid, with her freaking out and celebrating and the streets just being TOTALLY DESERTED around her. It was like zombies got everyone.
Frankie: AM I STILL PRETTY?? I'M STILL PRETTY, RIGHT??
Geez, Frankers, you're only an Adult. Of course you're still pretty. As if you could be anything but.
Here she is with her post-aging makeover. Hottacious, but a little more understated. I like it. The hair is the hair she wears in the shower and in bed or whatever, it's just now got no hat always. So. Say goodbye to the hat, folks!
Janelle: They don't believe me. I can't believe they don't believe me! But I'll show them, Skeeter ol' chum. I'll show them all.
Skeeter: ...You're kind of freaking me out, Janey!
TWENTY MINUTES LATER:
Skeeter: Are... are you sure this is a good idea, Janey? You look a little... crispy.
Janelle: I'm fine!! I can do this!! I swear I'll make you real, if it's the last thing I do!!
Poor Janey. So determined, for such a small person.
Janelle: Hmm. Maybe if I take apart the TV, I can use the plasma inside it as an ingredient in my potions!
Donna: Seriously if you touch the TV right now I will wrap you in a blanket like a burrito so you can't move and then I will sit on your head and fart until you suffocate.
...they love each other. (Seriously this is something my aunt did to my mom when they were kids. SISTERRRS SISTERRRRS, NEVER WERE THERE SUCH DEVOTED SISTERRRRS....)
GUESS WHO'S HAVING A BIRTHDAYYYYYYY let's see how she turned out.
whaaat
AND HERE SHE IS. Holy fuck is she gorgeous or what. Look at those eyes. That smile. Donna, you sexy beast. REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE ALL WORRIED THAT GASTON WAS GONNA MAKE KIDS WITH HUGE HONKIN' SCHNOZZES AND THEY WOULDN'T TURN OUT PRETTY
YEAH
THAT WAS PRETTY SILLY OF US IN RETROSPECT WASN'T IT
The first thing she did after she had the requisite slice of birthday cake was start wailing away on her guitar. She rolled her LTW right away, which if you can see on her picture, is to become a Hit Movie Conductor. That's the head of the Orchestral branch of the Music career, and NOT the Rock branch. I thought that was pretty awesome though. Like she might be a wild child in high school, but eventually she'll calm down. And she's got a goal in life!! Donna's got a good head on her shoulders, apparently.
this is what happens when you let your children listen to too much Pink Floyd.
Frankie: Here it comes. I can see it already. There's gonna be clogged toilets full of used tampons and clogged showers full of my daughter's goth weave all up in my future. And BOYS. Oh god, Donna's going to bring around so many goddamn boys. I AM ABOUT TO GET SO GRUMPY, YOU GUYS. SO GRUMPY.
Nahh, Frankie, it won't be that bad! Donna's got a good head on her shoulders, remember? You'll be alright.
See? She's even smiling now--...
Donna: Nah I just had some gas. It's gone now.
...eugh. TEENAGERS.
The family was doing pretty well in the dollars and cents department, so Donna got one of these for her birthday. I think it suits her image pretty well.
And so does this.
Janelle: So, sis, what's it like being in High School?
Donna: Homework still sucks. It sucks more. Goddamn fucking homework I swear to God.
DONNA WATCH THAT MOUTH THERE ARE STILL YOUNG'NS IN THE HOUSE
But it's okay, because despite the age difference they're just as close as ever.
Donna: So if I die from an overdose of homework, kid, don't let them sell my axe. Keep it. Play it, and gain my power.
Janelle: You're losin' it, Donna. I think the Algebra is slowly destroying your brain.
After school, when Janelle's eaten her dinner and finished her homework, she goes outside and works at her little chemistry set until bedtime, without fail. Poor Skeeter just wants to play with Janelle the way they used to, but instead, he just waits.
Skeeter: *sigh* :C
Daytime in the Fratelli house! Gaston reads a book in his jimjams while Janey finishes her brunch.
Donna plays her guitar ceaselessly, Skeeter listens patiently.
And Frankie is asleep, because she works nights. Poor Frankie gets to see her family like two hours a day. Pimpin' ain't easy.
AND THEN THE ADULTS GOT A FREE VACATION AND FUCKED OFF SOMEWHERE ELSE SO DONNA COULD THROW A HOUSE PARTY. Let's see how it went.
...Pretty well, actually. Donna had a surprisingly large amount of friends. They all seemed to have a really good relationship with them, too. Janey largely just ignored everyone else, had her supper, played outside a bit, worked on her chem set, and then went to bed like normal. SO DISCIPLINED.
Skeeter did look a little lost, though. The party was fairly jumpin'-- there was Pizza and dancing, and the teens mingled and enjoyed themselves well.
Except for this kid. Weird, bald, showed up in his tux, proceeded to watch TV all night. What a loser.
The blonde teen Nathan Drake-wannabe here ended up talking to and dancing with Donna all night. Even when she'd go get a pizza or something, he'd approach her afterwards to continue their conversations. He was just totally enamored of her. It was kind of adorable. I forget his name, though.
Blonde Kid: I just think, like, if more people actually LISTENED to their music, they wouldn't write them off so easily, you know? Man. It's so cool that you actually know what I'm talking about, Donna. Most people just pretend they know what I'm talking about and then wander off, but you totally get me.
Donna: Well. I am pretty awesome, not gonna lie.
Poor Moshe Edmonds was the first one to pass out.
And then this vampire kid dropped. (Lol I never noticed that when vampires sleep they snooz little Vs instead of Zs, that's cute.)
And then they all started dropping like flies. It was so weird, they all refused to leave.
They'd pass out, get up, and then pass out some more. Totally bizarre behavior. WHY DIDN'T THEY GO HOME.
Donna's little aryan-Indiana-Jones friend passed out, and this kid took particular glee. Idk why he's so happy, SP was not kind to him. Check out that extreme case of legacy hair.
anyway nothing much else happened. Frankie and Gaston came home, and normal activities resumed.
Their Gnome died. I didn't know they HAD a Gnome. Where do you get gnomes from?? Anyway. I put his grave in the yard. Somehow I couldn't bring myself to sell it. Poor little guy.
GUESS WHO'S HAVING A BIRTHDAY
oh god Janey (I forgot her stats picture this time. I'll get it next time, I promise.)
GUESS WHO ELSE IS HAVING A BIRTHDAY
HERE SHE IS. TEEN JANELLE. LOOK HOW FUCKING CUTE SHE IS. Y'all better recognize.
With both of them finally teens, the girls' room got a small makeover.
Aaaand their bunks. Guess which girl sleeps where, win a prize! (prize not available on earth.)
Skeeter: Man. I am tall!
Yes you are, sweetie. :3
This is the typical day. Janelle hard at work at her academic pursuits, Donna hard at work maintaining her popularity. It's not that hard-- people seem to adore her unquestioningly. I have never had a sim that made friends so easily before in my life.
skeeter buddy y u sit like that
He hasn't been around a whole lot during this update so just in case you forgot that Gaston is a GQ motherfucker, here's proof.
Just because they don't play tag or pillowfight quite so much anymore doesn't mean Skeeter and Janelle don't interact at all. There's a lot of chatting and hugging and joking around. They're still biffles, not to worry!!
Immediately after her little blonde friend phoned up and asked her to go to prom with him, Donna's face went like this.
And then she called him back and invited him over!!
Blonde Kid: Thanks so much for agreeing to go to Prom with me, Donna! I was so nervous, I never thought in a million years you'd say yes, you're the most popular girl in school.
Donna: Yeah, well, I was just about to ask you to go with me before you called anyway so. Good timing.
And then they had their first kiss. D'awww.
Donna: So you're my boyfriend now. Cool?
Blonde Kid: Whatever you want, just don't stop doing that thing with your tongue!
...Donna is wearing all the pants in this relationship from day 1. Good girl.
Frankie: It begins.
Aw, quit complaining and be proud of your baby girl. She's got her own fanclub at school, you know.
AND THEN PROM HAPPENED!!! Here's what Donna wore.
And what Janelle wore. She went stag. She was waiting for Moshe Edmonds (Remember him? He was the kid that passed out first at Donna's teen party.) to ask her, but he never did. The tool.
Donna and Blonde Kid had a great time. Donna was voted Prom Queen! Everyone high-fived her on the way to the stage. I'm not joking, that was what the popup said. She's basically a legend. EVERYONE LOVES HER, it's kind of amazing.
(lol awkward photo)
Janelle got caught checking out someone else's date and got in a fight. Oops. It was then revealed that she had a crush on Moshe (obviously, I thought they were pretty tight already). Then she got in ANOTHER fight because someone was hitting on Moshe and she got jelly. I GUESS JANELLE IS SECRETLY A DRAMA BOMB?? We don't see her at school, it'd make sense, what with her sister being universally beloved, and all.
Also I got a popup saying she spotted a 3-eyed llama. I have no idea what that's about. I guess someone spiked the punch with LSD or something.
The next day Janelle was late to school because she missed the bus, and when she got home she got a talking-to from Gaston.
Gaston: Janelle! Where 'ave you been, eh?? I was called by le school about your tardiness!!
Janelle: Whoa, chill out, Daddy-o! It's no big deal, I missed the bus so I had to take a taxi since someone won't buy me a car but I got there! All I missed was morning announcements!
Gaston: Zis is not a joke, young lady!! Next time zat you miss school, you will be Le Grounded!! Do you 'ear me??
Janelle: Loud and clear, Papa! It won't happen again! Eep.
Gaston's goldfish, Belle, is still alive and kickin'. Or should I say swimming? Anyway. She's still going strong.
Due to a glitch where Free Vacations fuck with my Sims' aging, Gaston is like a day away from being an Elder. It shouldn't impact anything, all he does is read books and fish and repair busted stuff for the neighbors anyway, he's practically a grandpa already. I just wasn't expecting it so soon :C
Frankie finally made it into the Thief branch of the Criminal career!! Yaaay. Not a very glamorous occupation, I grant you. But Frankie still makes it look fierce as hell.
I sent her out to a lounge to drink and dance a bit in celebration. Also this is her Formalwear, I don't know if I ever showed it off before. I think it suits her.
Would you look at this hot mess mixologist they had tending bar at the lounge. Bitch what is that noise stuck on the side of your head. Although I will say, if she's willing to dress like that at work, her partner is likely a very happy individual at home.
Donna had a mood swing and booby-trapped everything in the bathroom. Way to go, Donna.
Skeeter: Hey, Janey! Just wondering what you're up to, seein' if you wanted anything. I could get you some juice...
Janelle: Not now, Skeeter, I think I'm on to something!! This could be it, I can feel it! They called me mad, none of them believe that you're real... but I'll show them.
Janelle: I'll show them all.
Meanwhile.
Gaston: GAH
Gaston: PBBPBTHHHH!!! LE AUGH!!
Donna did it, not me. Not my fault. (This time.)
~THE NEXT MORNING.~
Janelle: Hey, Skeeter! Guess what? I've got something for you I think you're really gonna like.
Janelle: Tadaa!!
Skeeter: You sure about that? 'Cuz this looks like it was made out of something that rotted in your mom's garden.
Janelle: Well, fine, if you don't want it, I'll just take it back and give it to someone ELSE'S imaginary friend and turn THEM real--
Skeeter: Hey, I never said I wouldn't DRINK it.
TO BE CONTINUED!!!
Next time, on the Fratelli Legacy: What's Skeeter gonna look like? AND PROBABLY THERE'LL BE AN HEIR POLL!!! STAY TUNED!!
