Reve Legacy - 2.2
Last time, we saw Apollo and Rhianna have three kids, Viola, Sinfonia, and Marcato. Sinfonia and Viola had just grown into teens and Thelonius grew into a wise elder Ninja Sensei.
I gave the girls a makeover last time but neglected to provide not-lame clothing, so I sent them to the store. I thought this would be a good opportunity to find some potential gene donors, too. I forgot to have Sinfonia change before she left so she went in her PJs, haha.
She looks less than thrilled, but Viola is happy enough for both of them.
She's so happy to be there that she ran around the lot greeting people. Blue Suit Man seemed amused, I was just glad she didn't run into any creepers.
While Viola was being social, I got Sinfonia a new dress. With those eyes she needed something blue, and with her penchant for doom I decided she needed stompy boots.
Nico approves! I never noticed his skeezy painted-on necklaces, haha.
I thought yellow suited Viola, and Alvin Futa decided to bomb this pic. Don't get any ideas, man. It is not happening.
I panned around the lot trying to find Sinfonia and spotted Mrs. Crumplebottom! I love Crumplebottom. XD
In ur lot, disapprovin of ur sexy towniez.
I didn't see anyone interesting there, so I sent them to the usual haunt, Crypt O' Night Club.
You will never guess who followed them there...okay, maybe you will.
Nico: ~You'll find me in the club.~
Nico takes clubbing very seriously.
Sinfonia is either highly amused or plotting this guy's doom. Perhaps it's a little of both, knowing her.
Viola is dancing it up with the other townies, I particularly like Wonky Profile Guy in the background there. Sinfonia just stands there, cackling.
They continued for another few hours before I sent them home.
They got back just in time to see Apollo leave for work in his flashy new pimp suit. I think all symphony conductors should wear pimp suits.
Not long after that, it started raining and I saw their closet catch on fire....I don't even know. o_O
Then, tragedy struck.
I knew it was going to happen at some point, but I was still really, really sad, you guys. ;__;
Amelia looks so sad, too, that just made it so much worse. :C
Bye Amelia, you were the best founder ever. I'll miss you. <3
Everyone else is distraught, too, even Thelonius. They all have different coping mechanisms.
Viola retreats to her room and just sobs.
Making moneys at work can't distract Apollo either, he's really upset.
He went inside to make Grandma's comfort soup. *sobs*
Marcato seeks solace in the violin, he's getting really good.
Unfortunately it wasn't long before another tragedy hit the family.
The kids gathered around to watch the passing of Thelonius, Ninja Sensei Cat...
Rest in peace, Thelonius. Keep kicking ass in the great litterbox in the sky. ;__; *sobs forever*
The next morning Connel died, too. It sounds really mean but I wasn't too sad, he was kind of annoying me in his later years.
Viola feels the strain of so much death in the house, I want to give her a hug.
The next day, Apollo has the day off from work. What does a symphony conductor do when not conducting the most brilliant symphony in existence, you ask?
Puddle-stomping, that's what.
Sinfonia joins him, but she looks more like she's practicing for a mosh pit than playing in the puddles. She's hardcore.
Viola is feeling better enough to be embarrassed by her parents' PDA.
Sinfonia: Hey Dad, what's the best way to make people do your bidding? Is it manipulation or bribery?
Apollo: What? Uh, I don't know anything about that, Sinfonia...nope, not at all.
Apollo: Just remember, always keep your plans secret, even from yourself. *serious face*
Word.
After dinner, Viola decides to entertain Sinfonia.
Viola: Hehehe, guess what...I have a joke. Of the dirty variety.
Sinfonia: That's nice.
Later she tried to make spaghetti for everyone, but failed miserably.
Viola: It died! D:
Meanwhile, it looks like nobody's cleaned the bathroom in a week or so. The shower is busted and filthy, and the toilet is gross. Apollo doesn't seem to care but Rhianna is determined to mop the floor.
Apollo: It's so disgusting! Going...crazy...! D8
As a guy with 2 neat points, is he going to do anything about it? Of course not.
After the bathroom is mostly clean, Rhianna takes the time to ponder the greater meaning of...
...the neon penguin flamingo sign.
Rhianna: Yes, yes, but why is it blue? What does this mean?
Your guess is as good as mine, lady.
In the office, it looks like Sinfonia approves of Marcato's synth skills.
Sinfonia: The force is strong in this one.
Now, for the first installment of Sinfonia's "Why Must I Be Surrounded By Idiots?"
Sinfonia: Why does my sister think her "jokes of the dirty variety" are so funny?
Sinfonia: Seriously, why is she following me around telling these stupid jokes? I don't get it.
Maybe because you keep laughing. Stop encouraging her, genius.
I almost forgot that I'd invited Vince the Headmaster over for dinner to get these kids into private school.
Look at that nose! Someone with such a sharp, aquiline profile must be made of sheer awesome, right?
Sinfonia: Wrong. This guy is an idiot.
What makes you say that?
Oh come on, just because he's happy doesn't mean he's an idiot. It just means that you're grumpy, Sinfonia.
...okay, maybe he is a bit special.
Whatever, he got you guys into private school, so suck it up.
Marcato: Hey, what's that itch?
It's the itch of sparkles about to fly from your abdomen, it's the itch of impending puberty! Do you feel the power?
Marcato: I feel the power!
Before I show you what Marcato looks like as a teen, I finally figured out who child!Marcato reminded me of.
Obviously Marcato doesn't sound like a girl as much as Justin Bieber does, but there you go.
Marcato is appropriately relieved that this stage of life is behind him.
I think he looks sort of awkward, not ugly but sort of stretched? idk, I still love him. <3
Marcato rolled a Fortune aspiration, with a LTW of become a Hall of Famer. He enjoys the sight of blondes who know how to do fierce makeup, but prefers them to go commando. He's a Sagittarius with a personality like this:
2 Sloppy
9 Outgoing
10 Active
8 Playful
6 Nice
Around this time, I decided that Sinfonia would be the heir. I know Viola had some fans but I really could not resist the doom, and in terms of genes Sinfonia has the best eye color. I've been after those babies since Gen 1. >_>
Apollo came home with his last promotion! I think he should keep the pimp suit for his new career as a Rock God, cause Rock Gods wear whatever the fuck they want, and pimp suits would be boss. I'm disappointed that he's going to wear the super-conformist blazer/pants-chain ensemble thing.
For a few days, Marcato was really after a puppy. I couldn't bear for them to get another cat so soon after Thelonius, so I decided to get him a puppy as a b-day present.
I was still in the mindset of Antigone names when I picked out the puppy, so now they have Ismene.
I rearranged the random-crap-room to accommodate the puppeh, and I managed to fit in Apollo's career reward.
This pleases Apollo, who soon gets to work practicing his hardcore face.
Ismene arrived via po-po escort. She's so tiny! :3
She has this really lolling tongue, it's hilarious and cute.
She ignored the dog bed and curled up in the corner, haha.
The next day, the kids had an uneventful day at school.
Marcato: Hey bus, you're looking like a block of gold butter today! ;D
He cracks me up. XD
Sinfonia gets to work on her hardcore face, which dare I say is better than Apollo's. She's living up to her heir potential nicely.
Apollo develops a burning desire to not be a fatty, so he was on the bike for the rest of the evening. Thankfully he got off before passing out in a pile of stink.
Viola doesn't really care and is content to jump around on the couch for a few hours.
Apollo: Haha, guess what? I'm awesome. ;D
Viola: I hate bragging! Stop bragging before you make me angry, Marcato!
Marcato: Hehehehehe. ^___^
Viola: *seethes*
...wtf, you guys are nuts.
I guess Sinfonia brought someone home from school? I don't really know what the hell he was doing, but he stayed out of my sight for pretty much the whole afternoon.
Anyway, meet Thaddeus.
Sinfonia: Is he an idiot? I'm not really sure I can be bothered to find out.
Rhianna got home later with a promotion to theorist!
Apollo ran outside to smooch his wifey in front of her new work friend. You bet your ass he's jealous of those Rock God PJs.
Sinfonia decides to bring the love over to Thaddeus.
Sinfonia: Doom hug? :D
Thaddeus: *is terrified* D:
For some reason, Rhianna tries to hug him, too, and he's equally creeped out.
Oh, so it's okay for you to tickle girls but not for them to hug you? I see how it is, Thaddeus. I see the way you operate.
Since the next day was Saturday, I sent the kids to the Lucky Card Shack Place to be social.
Sinfonia hopes there won't be any idiots, so let's see who's here today.
...lovely.
At least Crumplebottom has a sense of humor about everything.
I sent them away to the club again to see if they can find some not-idiots.
Sinfonia finally stopped laughing at people enough to show off her dance skills.
Clearly they need some work, but at least she's having fun.
As usual, Viola is too hyper to care whether or not she looks cool. XD
Other than some more lulzy dancing, nothing of interest happened here, either. I was really disappointed.
Sinfonia: Now I shall inflict my doom upon the internet! >:3
I feel like she has more troll potential than anything.
Random cute shot of Apollo and Rhianna, they are just too adorable.
Ismene grew up that day, too. I was expecting her to look a lot different but she's still cute.
It's the return of the lolling tongue! d'awwww.
The first thing Ismene does after growing up is launch herself into the plate of grilled cheese. She's never tried to eat human food before, I don't understand it.
Rhianna: Bad doggie!
Ismene: *sadface*
She then ran over to rock out with Apollo, I love it. XD
That night, Viola got a promotion. It really doesn't take a lot to move up in the fast-food industry, does it?
Viola: Hey guys, I just got a promotion! Aren't you proud of me?
Rhianna and Apollo: *are too busy flirting*
Viola: .....kay.
Poor Viola. I'm proud of you! <3
Is that couch filled with confetti or something? No wonder Ismene is tearing the shit out of it.
The next day, Marcato got his promotion, too. Apparently the athletic career is about as difficult as the fast-food track.
Rhianna got out of the car at the same time as Marcato, and each of them brought a friend. Marcato brought Alvin Futa and Rhianna brought thealicecat 's Silicon! I gave her a new hair and glasses but kept her mostly the same.
Silicon wants to eat all the sandwiches, she's doing well so far.
She followed Rhianna and Apollo into their bedroom when they both went in their autonomously to "relax"...
Silicon: Come on, guys, do you really have to be naked to woohoo?
Well yeah, that's kind of the point.
After that lovely encounter, it's time for Apollo to grow up! Sinfonia surveys the proceedings with her usual smirk.
Apollo decides to celebrate by breaking into song.
Apollo: I feel pretty, oh so pretty...
Apollo: I feel pretty and witty and bright!
Apollo: And I pity any girl who isn't me tonight!
(that means you, Silicon, who is obviously jealous that she's not getting any)
It would appear that Apollo has mellowed a little in terms of being annoyed at the dirty bathroom, but check out his wants! What a sly, yet exhibitionist old man he is.
I decided to give him some sly new hair. He's such a cute elder, he reminds me a lot of Amelia.
Apollo: Sup.
I waited until the next day for Rhianna to grow up so that she'd get her LTW, her aspiration was in the shit and I wanted her to grow up without going insane.
Rhianna: What's that pain? Is it the pain of growing old?
No, that's the pain of your arm impaling the countertop.
Viola: Yayyy, birthday! :D
BEST DEFAULT OUTFIT EVER. I love it.
I gave her a new hair and she looks so pretty, almost as pretty as Apollo feels. ;D
All the death in this update made me really sad all over again, but I liked watching the kids some more, they're funny. Next time we'll see the beginnings of Sinfonia's adventures as the mother of the next generation. :D
