The Ouroboros Round Robin - Generation 10 Part 3
Welcome back to the Ouroboros Round Robin!
Now that the twins have aged to toddler, the skillinating starts.
Behold my fail!pic of Joplin's potty training face!
The fail pretty much continues all 'round.
That's Zaphod failing to get into his pet bed in time.
Ford: Where is my mythical A+ on the first day of school?
You don't get one because I am failing at getting you all skilled up though I am succeeding admirably in keeping you all down and depressed. At least you're not oppressed. And I am astonished at the lack of aspiration failure despite everyone in the house regularly dipping into the red.
My first ever stair slider!
*Loves*
I then remembered that I had hidden a glow!bottle in Joplin's inventory. So they gave it to Fenchurch, because Helokii had a want to teach her. Which then brought him into gold aspiration so he could make a bottle for Zaphod.
Joplin is starting rake in the simoleons.
THANK GOD!!!
Child!Zaphod
Child!Fenchurch
Fenchurch has... issues...
She smashes the crap out of the bear, then cuddles it like it's her bestest bestie. Could be underlying mother issues, since Joplin made the bear for her.
Fen is also the show-off of the family.
Homework party! Because the kitchen is the place to be.
Please note the boys sticking together, avoiding the girl germs.
YAY! Bring on the mouthwatering produce!!!
He's got 1 nice point. So he takes the lot.
And it pays off!
Though it would have been better if it had involved a whole lot of cash.
Helokii wanted to win a cooking contest. I sent him to the secret cooking lot, where he entered a bowl of sparkly grandma's comfort soup into a contest that failed to happen due to not enough sims being on the lot and then the laptop mysteriously shut itself down while he was still on the lot. So he lost the sparkly soup and never got the memory for failing to win the contest.
The delivery dude keeps calling Ford. He's the new Jefferson Jethro. But a thousandfold more creepy because Ford is a child.
At least Joplin continues to win at work.
Berangaria, who was promised to Joplin as a friend all the way back on her first day in the hood, finally shows up and hands over some simoleons in return for Zaphod's lemonade.
Thou shalt not have any more kids! Three is more than enough, even if one of them is a daddy clone.
I had all the kids study physiology then skip rope. Insta-body-max!
They all now tricky-skip-rope-extra-fast.
I am now kicking myself for not doing it while they were still kids but I could line them up and set them to skip all synchronised like those kids that do the competitive skipping. IT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!
The strength in their hands that kids exhibit while squeezing lemons for lemonade is frightening.
Cinderella by bondchick_nett hands over some of her hard-earned to Fenchurch. Must be the cute rubber ducky that is stealing everyone's hearts because Fen is raking it in!
YES PLEASE!
I immediately buy a cake.
The daddy clone finally ages to teen. And into some rather interesting duds.
I rolled a 3 on my iPhone dice app so he gets knowledge. The turn-ons and turn-off are what the game gave him.
Berangaria: Welcome to the general store, badly dressed teen. It looks like you arrived just in time. People's brains are frying while looking at that getup.
Annnnnndddd... I don't seem to have any pictures from the time Ford spent at the store. Must have been boring.
I have decided that the game is trying to turn Helokii into a plantsim.
There had been no bugs to spray before he got his gold gardening badge. Note the ladybug house. There is a matching one on the other end of the vege patch. And as soon as he got his gold badge, bugs requiring spraying are an almost constant presence in the garden.
Yes, you're heartbreakingly cute. And quite the charmer. With a nasty streak. And a daddy clone.
Fenchurch continues to be special.
She's either vacillating between smashing the crap out of the bear and hugging the stuffing out of him or she's doing an impression of Children Of The Corn and just standing there with the bear under her arm, staring into space, with a Mona Lisa smile playing on her lips.
It is most disconcerting.
Time for another fail!contest!!!
Helokii still wanted to win a cooking contest, so I sent him to the secret lot again. This time, there were actually a couple of townies there. Namely Clorox by simkittensims and Akira Eri by me.
Hobby Leader (whisrering): Yo! Food Judge! I win or you're out of a job!
Seriously, though. Look at his lobster thermidor competing with Akira's mac 'n' cheese, Clorox's salad and Helokii's sparkle!ribs.
Helokii was worried. And rightly so.
Looks like the Food Judge was intimidated.
I love the candy maker!
Helokii then made a baked alaska flambe. At which point I realised there was a special option to make food for the contest and there was no way I was going to be able to stick that cake into his inventory. TAKE THREE!!!
Feeling a lot more confident this time.
Helokii: I've got this one in the bag! This here is the Turkey Of Win!
AND THE TURKEY OF WIN ACTUALLY WINS!!!
OMFG FINALLY!!!!
Look at that Baked Alaska Of Copying And Fail. I reckon he pilfered Helokii's baked alaska and tried to pass it off as his own. But everyone knew that Helokii's Turkey Of Win was the real deal while the Baked Alaska Of Fail was just a copy.
Both the parents got the want to see Ford be an overachiever so he gets a job. He wants to be Education Minister, by the way.
Most of the rest of the update is full of chance cards and other pop-ups so have an image of Zaphod and Fenchurch playing red hands behid the house. I don't know why. I saw them walking off, around the back of the house and then... red hands????
May as well.
YAY!
He's a child. He wants to look now.
Oh no! NOT THE TINKERING ENTHUSIASM!
Child labour, because the adults are busy doing other stuff.
MORE promotions!
Sells immediately.
Those things cost 75 bucks to make and sell for 750! What would YOU do in my place?
Joplin: *bes in the zone*
engram_au: *downloads the No Zone Effects hack*
This should be interesting.
Welcome to Chez Ouroboros, Nathen!
* Facepalm *
THIS IS NOT APPROPRIATE YOU GUYS!!!! Helokii was supposed to be giving him the house tour.
We interrupt the facepalming with news that Ford is now an overachiever.
This does not bode well...
* Headdesk *
Joplin: The owl from Hogwarts didn't arrive for some reason so we thought we would like to apply for your fine establishement. As you can see, we are a very classy family.
Apparently dinner and a floor show are all that is necessary to gain entry to the private school.
It was actually time for Zaphod and Fenchurch to age to teen but I had kept them back until the headmaster scenario was finished.
Zaphod rolled a 6 and Fenchurch rolled a 5.
Teen!Fen
!!!!!
Teen!Zaphod
Double !!!!!!
See you next time!
