The Very Merry Noel Legacy - Chapter 1.6
Yep, two updates in one day! Partly because I am so close to the catch up point I can TASTE it!
I also changed the name a bit of this legacy. I figured simply 'The Noel Legacy' sounded too... elegant for what I am actually writing. :P
In the last chapter we had our Heiress, er, POTENTIAL heiress (excuse me, favoritism and shallowness is clouding my brain) age up into a young adult and become freakin' gorgeous.
Now, onto the story!
"Hello, my name is Destiny Noel, I believe we talked on the phone?"
"Ah yes, you wanted a state of the art tattoo, right? Just follow me."
Destiny quickly changed into something more comfortable and sat down in the artist's chair.
"So, any story behind this one?"
"Yeah, my grandmother. She was a defining force in my life, and was always there for us, so I wanted to get something to remember her by. And since she loved to fish and tell me stories about her home, well, the choice was kinda obvious."
Look at her, being perfectly calm while getting the tattoo. My simself was wincing like a baby. And so was her half-brother same when he got his.
I wonder what traits influence it....
Ah well, this just confirms that Destiny is BA.
In the end, the tattoo turned out great. A koi fish was the perfect way to remember Yumi by, and Destiny was quite pleased.
Of course, that wasn't the last stop.
"Malcolm! How are you? Ready to give me a makeover?"
"Darling, I am always ready!"
Does anyone giggle over how different Malcolm is from the sims 2? I delight in it.
"Hmmm.... Now tell me, what do you want Malcolm to make you into?"
"I am thinking something fierce, something that screams 'I'm here, I'm a woman who wants a family, but I am going to take on the world you suckers."
"Oooh, do tell!"
Wait, scratch that. I don't delight in Malcolm being so different- I REVEL in it. /bursts into giggles.
"Now, give Malcolm a little twirl. Yes yes, good..."
"You have a idea?"
"Of course not, Malcolm Landgraab never has a idea-"
"He has a VISION! You like?"
"Like it? I LOVE it! It's perfect!"
Damn, it is. All she needs is a head kerchief and she would be Rosie the Riveter turned punk.
...WHY ARE YOU MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO PREFER RANULF, GAME? A neurotic genius should have sealed it for me! And he has the founders nose!
Darnit. >.<
Yuki, what did you do?
"Nothing."
You have a grin on your face. /narrows eyes
Ranulf, what did he do?
"He broke the computer."
Yuki! D:< Destiny needed that for job searching!
"Snitch."
"Like I'm stupid enough to go against the guardian! She protects me from landmines."
"What? There are no l-"
Yes there are, and I protect him from them. So there. :P No go before I decide to make you fix it and be shocked.
Destiny, are you sure you should be poking around in that?
"I need a job. Stupid computer, it sucks. Gonna stab this screwdriver in Yuki's eyes."
Now now, violence is most-likely not the answer. Besides, I have a plan. Go stand outside on the sidewalk with the rest of your family and close your eyes and count to ten.
"...Ooookkaaay."
:D
MWHAHAHAHAHA! I AM.... SUCKY AT HOUSE BUILDING!
Finally having 10k funds, I built a big house. Which sucks and is empty because I am horrible at planning building costs. :D
But anyway, everyone has their own room now! Except Jack and Yuki. They share since they are BFFs.
Hey Destiny, how do you like your room? :D
"I will like it better once it has lights, but must admit, a big improvement."
Awesome!...Er, how are you reading in the dark?
"Just enough light to read by right now. Oh, and re-reading the Warlock of Palladia, in case you ask."
I thought we discussed this already-
"Yeah, no. You guys sidelined it. So, my goal is to learn more about everything, and to figure out what exactly went on."
...OMG I have the PERFECT job for you! Go get the newspaper!
First though, where is Ranulf? I want to show him his room. :3
"He's still at school. Yuki told him something about you not knowing about the grass-cutters in the ground and not being able to protect him from that at the house."
D:< THAT RAT BASTARD.
Ranulf, for the thousandth time- IT'S SAFE! I cleared out everything, double checked, it's good. Don't worry.
"...But what if it isn't?"
Then you will sleep out on the park with homeless people tonight.
"D: Ok coming!"
YUKI!
"..."
"Seesh, aren't you a loud bitch?"
I WILL CUT YOU. D:<
"Pfft."
...I will make you marry the ugliest sim I can find and start a uglacy. /smug look
"...D:"
"Yuki, sometimes you are very stupid."
See, even Jack, your BFF, is on my side on this. So stfu.
"Now remember Ranulf, repeat what I just told you."
"'Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever is left, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.'"
"Exactly! So what does that mean about mutant gnomes from venus?"
"They are impossible based on the facts of science, unless some severe meddling is done, but as I haven't seen any, then unless facts present themselves to show they exist, then they don't and I should stop worrying?"
"Right on, little bro."
Destiny is such a great sister. <3
Destiny's life went pretty normal as she prepared for her new job. Her grandmother Yumi haunted her near daily, checking in on her granddaughter-
-finding little tidbits of old info from ancient newspapers to try and piece together the mystery of her heritage-
-and practicing her stealth skills while looking BA.
Yes, she is going to be a Private Eye. I figured that the perceptive trait cinched it. :D
And damn she looked awesome in her uniform. She looks like those old crime movies, except she looks more like the elegant dames that stride in, just having taken on the PI roll.
...Which is all kinds of awesome, really.
But Destiny, one thing....
"Yeah?
You REALLY need to work on your steak-out skills. They kinda suck.
"STFU."
She soon had her first case, so drove off in her Sloppy Jaloppy (however you spell it :P) to find out more info.
"Miss? I'm Destiny Noel, Private Eye. I heard you had a case for me?"
"Oh thank god you're here! Basically, I entered a business agreement with this guy, who then proceeded to screw me over. I need to you hack into his computer to figure out everything he did, get some dirt on him, and deliver it back to me."
"..."
"You... You want me to hack. Hack someones computer?"
"Yeah, that won't be a problem, will it?"
"..."
Er, are you ok?
"You mean I can legally hack stuff? Like, for this job? Legally?"
"Yep!"
"BEST. JOB. EVER."
Computer Whizzes = great investigators. Go go hacking skill!
While Destiny gleefully hacked into someone's account, making sure to trash it and plant some viruses as well, Yuki and Jack did their homework together, as they normally do.
"..."
Something to say to me Jack? :D
"Yuki... told Ranulf that a army of bugs were attacking the bed."
"JACK!"
YUKI! D:<
"Oh come ON!"
/Grumbles as she marches off to find Ranulf.
Ranulf, Yuki was lying. He is a little ba-
"Oh, I know. Bugs do not have big enough brains to construct such a organized attack. Unless they were made mutants by scientists, but then something would be in the news if a army of mutant bugs escaped from some mad scientist's lab."
...Er, ok. Then why are you out... well, here? The graveyard is creepy as all heck.
"It calms me, and ghosts are fascinating!"
...I am not sure if I should be creeped out or going 'awwwww' right now. However, you need to go to sleep. Off with you now! Off to bed or off with your head!
"Eeep!"
By this time, Destiny finished her mission so I went to see the lady thanking her ecstatically. Success!
"It was nothing. Next time though, he should remember- never try and and hide on the internet, especially with a firewall a two year old could have made. You will only get fried and burned."
"Er, ok."
"Case closed."
CUTE FAMILY MOMENT OVER HOMEWORK SPAM!
And freakin' heck, Yuki has the best relationship with his mom (outside of Ranulf). WTF.
"It's because I am better then them all, you are just to blind to see it."
Bastard.
MOAR SPAM.
"Er, wow. I never really saw it that way."
"...It's... really simple. All you need to do is to picture each of the figures as a rock, them divide them by their elements and so on dad."
Jack can take anyone to school, 'cause he's just that cool.
Yes, that was lame. Excuse me. >.<
Destiny was in hot demand by the Police station, them sometimes calling her right after she left the building.
Partly because most of them had a crush on her, but meh. It got the job done.
She really was enjoying her job. Well, except for some parts...
"*Grumbles* stupid job, stupid digging for info, stupid throwing stuff away, stupid frickin' hell. *grumbles*"
Well, better her than me.
And quite too soon, another pair of birthdays had come. Ranulf turned into a teen-
"GYAH, SPARKLES TICKLING ME! BAD!"
-Which gave Leighton his Lifetime wish of being surrounded by family.
And then, as I did say a pair of birthdays...
Eve, it's time.
"Do I have to?"
Yes, you know you do. Don't worry, I will have everything covered. But you know this was part of the deal.
"I know... I just... I never thought I would be old."
Eve took a deep breath as she looked around at her surrounding family. Her daughter, who was stronger then she knew and saw so much more than everyone else. Her son Jack, who was quiet but had a inner strength and knowledge that would surprise many. Yuki (who was standing on the other side of the table), who was odd, but had great potential. Even if he and the Guardian didn't get along. And Ranulf, her youngest, who has borderline crazy but always had a smile and a unique perspective of the world, and the wariness to live in it.
It was her husband cheering though that gave her strength to lean over and blow out the candles, and with it, passing on the last bit of her power to her children. Hoping that fate would hold up and destiny would keep them safe.
"Ok, ok! I did it. Now, oh god. I'm going grey! I'm turning old! WHY DID I BLOW OUT THOSE CANDLES?"
"Mom, don't worry. Heh, all that is going to change is you are going to get saggy."
"...:D..."
And sure enough, it turned out well. She is a ADORABLE elder.
"Gotta admit, I'm looking good."
Definitely. :)
With that said, who will you vote for?
Destiny, who is the eldest and the most perceptive?
Jack, the strong but silent type?
Yuki, who I want to punch in the face?
Or Ranulf, who is brilliantly awesome?
Your choice! Now head over to boolprop.com and vote! :D
