Episode 2.3
Please note that in this update, Janis pays more attention to Roxanne than she ever did to Delilah and Rhiannon. Favoritism, yours is showing.
Why hello there, Lyric. What are you painting for us today? A house? A flower? A nice plaid pattern?
Lyric: Heir portrait. *smiles*
Lyric: We’re a cooky family, aren’t we?
Yes, Lyric, yes you are.
Delilah and Rhiannon practice their mime show. Please ignore the man behind the curtain plumbob above Delilah.
Roxanne: Thanks for the bath, Mom! If I had a hat, I’d tip it to you.
Here is Scout, who used to be Adrian’s dog. However, when his wife had twins, they kind of neglected Scout, so he ran away, and since Delilah constantly rolls pet wants, I adopted Scout again.
My, what a lovely glitch baby you’re holding, Janis.
Janis: Is my baby going to be censored forever?
No, Janis *forces error on baby*
Lyric: What is this stack of phonebooks? You finally got ACR? Why couldn’t I have had ACR? BABBIEZ!!!!!!!
Actually Lyric, that kinda is why.
Rhiannon likes to play with fire, even if that means making muffins in her Kiddie Oven.
She then glitches runs to the kitchen to set out her muffin for unsuspecting passersby. *forces error on Rhiannon*
Meanwhile, Delilah is busy sucking up to Grandma Lyric.
Delilah: Oh, Grandmother! You are such a great dancer! You simply must teach me more!
Where is Gilbert? One might ask. Well, to the one person who may care, he is in the dining room, stuffing his face. He kind of, um, forgets to eat, between worrying about Janis, studying for work, and working.
But Gilbert needn’t worry about Janis, because she is being a good popularity Sim and building up a best friendship with her infant daughter.
However, once their relationship is secured, Janis hands Roxanne off to the nearest (only) family Sim she can find.
Scout loves to play in the graveyard. He rolls in the flowerbeds all day.
Janis: …and then you Superman that hoe. Got it?
Ah, baby Sims are so freakin cute.
Poor Lyric though… she is so lonely now. She’s perma-platinum so she never gets too upset, but she just kinda wanders around and sleeps and goes to work… but she really never plays her guitar anymore. It’s not the same without her hubby on bass.
Big surprise, the suck-up got an A.
And what are you looking so smug about, Rhiannon?
Rhiannon: I got an A too, SUCKAS!
And they brought home a friend, Antonio Cadence. He is one of Sam’s 10 children (Sam’s wife, Calista Jayalapan, was also a family Sim like Lyric).
Delilah: Oh, Mother! You are such a great dancer! You simply must teach me more!
Hmm… where have I heard that before, Dee?
It’s birthday time for Roxanne!
Roxanne: I sure hope Mom doesn’t drop me.
Rhiannon: Yes! Soon I can bribe this kid to do my homework!
What the HECK is wrong with you, Lyric?
This is really, really frightening.
Yay! Roxanne has grown into an adorable… baby bear!
Oh my goodness, please don’t tell me that she is going to have super-squinty eyes!
Roxanne: Mom has a nice butt.
And then of course, as soon as Lyric sees an available baby that is not hers, she scoops it up!
So freaking cute! I wish I had a grandmother.
Okay, well… uh, that’s a bit freakish, Lyric. What is wrong with you lately?
Delilah: I am SO telling Mom about this.
Delilah: I totally won that fight though…
Rhiannon: Lalala, I tooooooootally won that fiiiiiiight!
Apparently, Lyric REALLY hates the girls’ new hamster, Squee.
And Delilah, Ms. I Constantly Roll Pet Wants, doesn’t like Squee much either.
Also, here is finally a close-up of Roxanne.
Roxanne: This bottle is good and all, but I need a bath…
Delilah: Mom better have a good reason for missing my birthday…
Rhiannon: YES! NOW SHE CAN DO ALL MY HOMEWORK!
Yes! I’m finally a teenager!
…now give me a makeover! (She rolled popularity like Janis, btw)
Aw, much better. You pretty, pretty suck up.
Oh, P.S. Janis and Gilbert missed Delilah’s birthday because they were having MY FIRST EVER ACR INTERACTION!
Lyric is disgusted with this. She sits in the graveyard and wishes Brandon were here to commiserate with her.
Gilbert… please tell me you are not cybering right after you have just impregnated your wife.
OMG NO!!! He’s selling his business! I love him!
Lyric sleeps by Brandon, and dreams of… nothing?
Roxanne: Yeah, I get it, I’m a piglet. I’m eating in almost all the pictures you have of me, right?
Roxanne: At least I’m cute!
Please don’t pop in the kitchen. Please don’t pop in the kitchen.
Everyone is being so cute lately!
Okay, well, that’s not so cute. It’s pretty creepy there… Spawn of the Grim Reaper.
That’s not her bed. It’s Delilah’s.
But Delilah is too busy painting to notice.
This was the dumbest idea ever. And Janis is not even a pleasure Sim.
Rhiannon: Uh… no, Grandma can’t come to the phone right now… she’s outside talking to my daddy.
Wait, what was that, Rhi?
Oh my goodness. She died in her hot dog stand uniform. Goodbye awesomely crazy founder!
From one unpleasant thing to another.
Poor Roxanne. She loved Lyric. They were actually 100/100.
My first Platinum Tombstone! And cutie cutie fireflies!
Aww, Delilah… she was really close with her grandmother. And that’s one less best friend. The popularity Sims take death the hardest.
Rhiannon, however, just collects the money from the money tree, which used to be Lyric’s job since she was perma-plat.
Uh… what? Lyric, is that you?
Oh, nevermind… it’s Sam’s wife, Calista Cadence, nee Jayapalan.
OMG her sad face is just SO SAD! Go dig for treasure, Delilah. I’ll send you all on vacation when you find a map.
Wow… that was a delayed reaction to her grandmother’s death. Maybe she feels like she’s digging a grave?
Only it wasn’t for Lyric’s death. The puddle on the floor leads me to believe that a ghost scared JANIS to death.
Well you look proud of yourself, Amin the 2nd. Too bad Scout is about to pee on your gravestone.
Rhiannon decides to sleep creepily in her mother’s bed. Poor Cadences!!!
I Gilbert decided that the girls needed to move into a smaller home until the Gen. 3 heir is announced. Amin the 2nd’s tomb did NOT come along.
Delilah and Roxanne are super sad.
Rhiannon, however, has a secret weapon. After all, we know who her father is.
Rhiannon ran up to the attic of the new house.
Rhiannon: I knew I carried this creepy phone in my Butt Pocket of Mysteries™ for a reason.
Rhiannon: Hey there, Dad? Yeah, um… Mom has never asked you for anything, and uh… I want her back. She had my little baby brother or sister in her tummy, you know.
Rhiannon: Look, you get her to me now, or I’m coming down there. Have you seen my boots?
Janis: I never realized how pretty my hands are before!
Rhiannon: Mom, is that you?
Rhiannon: Yeah, it’s totally her.
Okay, I know she just resurrected you, Janis, but you shouldn’t encourage her to do handstands in a skirt.
Delilah: That brat just got more favorite points, didn’t she?
Sadly, Dee, she did. Except Rhiannon maybe kinda can't be heir because she was created illegally?
We’ll end with Janis’s pop. (FINALLY!)
