Wicked Legacy 1.7 [Sims 2 Reposts]
In Which Sim-deity asks, 'Where are we going and why are we in this Handbasket?"
The local penguin recaps the evil snowman on the events that he's observed in this house filled with nuts.
"They're totally on the shortbus, fo' sho'!"
"It's like dis, man! Alexei and Isaak are totally scopin' on the same chick, Amelia. No fo' serious! I wouldn't lie to yahs, now would I?"
The angry snowman simply listens with that baleful stare.
"It's like dis, man! Isaak's even got 'imself a girl, too! Real cute thing! Tammy Widlock! Cept' he still is totally doggin' on Amelia despite her bein' totally into Alexei."
n' check it! The toddlers, Anneka and Niko grew a little n' Dotty and Grace her evil nemesis totally became familia! Check it! No lie, man! Stop bein' a hater! Seriously!
And there's totally dis witch lurkin' bout that's tryin' to lure Alexei to the darkside n' stuff! Cuz' ya know, he's totally on 'is way dere, anyways! Cept ya know, his little chicks keepin' tha faith! Even though Alexei's a little nutso! Like jumpin' on tha davenport n' all that stuff! Aww man, gossip's totally lost to yous! I'm leavin'!" He waddles off whistling Luck be a Lady.
And now we bring you to this week's installment. If you've missed any part of the legacy, feel free to follow the Wicked Legacy Tag, to catch up.
It's a quiet day in the neighborhood. No I won't sing to you and remove my sweater and feed my fish! Alexei is trying very hard to get some reading done.
"Alex? Why are you reading that barbaric Chinese rabble? Besides, war is not artful! it's bloody and despairing and miserable and..."
Niko: "ooooh woe! The despair! The pitiful darkness of my pitiful soul!"
Anneka: "Aleeeeex! Niko's at it again! Makin' no sense and soundin' emo!"
Alexei: He simply doesn't appreciate the vital importance of works such as Sun Tzu's, that's all.
Anneka: Sunjoo? Who's that?
.....
And so it goes like this for the remainder of the week as they struggle to fill their home with more comfortable amenities.
Even Isaak secretly tries to hide the growing feelings he has for Amelia that he pens in his diary.
Niko: Are you filling your die-ary with dark thoughts of adulterating with our brother's beloved?
Isaak: Uh.. no. Um.. why would I write that?
Uh... huh! Why WOULD you write that? I'm also disturbed at how well spoken Niko is for a 12 year old... if just a bit dark.
Meanwhile Alexei has his usual heart to heart with Dotty on the matter.
"Dotty? What should I do with Isaak? Should I experiment on him and create some sort of super human abomination with no free will and send him out to destroy the riff raff of the city? Perhaps I can dress him in some garrish blue and yellow costume!
Or maybe I should create a robot army to trod all over him while I laugh in villanous glee?"
Dotty: *simply stares at Alexei*
Anneka somehow manages to be the sweet, peaceful little center of the growing storm. Her and Rufus the Llama against it all. "I think deys all nutso, Rufus! What do you think?"
Rufus: ......
Meanwhile, Isaak continues to woo both sides of the fence... Snuggling with Tammy...
And getting rebuked like yesterday's socks! She's no fool!
He manages to get back in her good graces by involving her in winter activities like snowman building!
Somehow, it seems he's not ENTIRELY in Tammy's good graces. I can't imagine why.
Niko, strangely, seems to be having his OWN 'sodes as he vents his despair and fury out on the hapless Rufus!
Rufus: NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! Unhand me you vile, emo brat before I get violent!
The threats go unrealized. Poor Rufus.
He's just one angry, unhappy little kid and he refuses to do his homework. This little brat is pushing the entire family towards child protectiveness, much in the same way pixelcurious 's little trouble maker is. The sim deity is NOT pleased with Niko and pushes to correct this, any way she can.
Isaak decides to correct the visible unsightliness of his angry girlfriend's message to him with a simple crane kick to the snowballs. *KIYAAAH!*
Disturbingly, Isaak's pimply, teen flirtations finally make headway with Amelia. A little confused by her feelings, she can't help but be a bit flattered by his appreciations and .. charms?
Maybe it's some sort of magical boil on his brow that makes him irresistible to all women even those with sense. Who KNOWS? Even the Sim-deity is disturbed and perplexed by this turn of events.
VERY disturbed....
Isaak puts on more charms, knowing that she loves dance very much and sashays his way more into her heart and gets a cheap grope of the butt in the process.
Angry Snowman watches in his melted, smashed remains with a brandished pitchfork just READY to jab him.
Amelia has a sudden glimmer of clarity and sense despite her confusion and quickly shoves him off before the snowman can make his own heroic pitchfork jab! Isaak seems to be getting shoved by the ladies everywhere, lately!
She gets the Hell out of the front yard and heads right to Alexei...
And agrees to go steady with him! Is that the looming look of guilt in her eyes?
She masks it however with a goodnight smooch that surprises even Alex and out in the night she goes, quickly.
Anneka bless her soul, simply watches it all with quiet worry for her big brother. Confiding it all to Rufus the wonder plushie!
The week wears on and.. lo! Look what craving returns with a vengence! Elle's loss at the cooking contest motivates her to revisit an old friend/recipe.
Isaak: I never thought she'd go back to making these!" The look of nausea fills both of them.
Even Alexei is a bit mystified at the sudden track down toasted, cheesy lane and he was the biggest proponent of grilled cheese for all!
Tammy's anger continues to brew with Isaak for his 'cheatin' heart!' and she makes off with the newspaper.
Good Lord, how horrible, how vile, what REVENGE! Amateur!
In the wake of Tammy's grand newspaper heist, an unwanted visitor arrives.... much to the sorrow of the entire family.
Grim: You've been a good girl, Dotty! it's time to come along! I have a wonderful bed for you and treats for ever as your reward. Come along, now.
Dotty faithfully listens to the reaper. She's lived a good long life and knows they'll be well cared for with Grace.
Grace howls in sorrow with the rest of the family, bidding her friend goodbye!
As she fades out, in a shimmer of light, chasing the reaper's stick across the rainbow bridge, Alex breaks down, sobbing for his little friend's loss. While he wasn't 'her person' like his mother... she was his Igor, his assistant from his childhood on....
As the family breaks up and goes their ways to work or school, Tammy passes by and in a spark of sympathy for Isaak's sadness, decides that she's not angry with him any more? Or she's cooled down? Or...
.. maybe She's just horny!
Grace turns her back on Isaak for his lack of respect for the dead, growling around her bone.
Isaak is growing in ire with the Sim-deity at this point and very likely half the house as he hops into the sack with Tammy shortly after.
Just exactly who IS the bad guy here, after all? >.>
Anneka has her own answer to this hypothetical question.... Sim-deity agrees with Anneka!
And finally... Isaak's come ons are caught... by.. Uh.. EVERYONE.
Tammy, strangely enough doesn't rage at all. She's indifferent to the whole thing.... Alexei, however..
Is all over Isaak in a heartbeat! The threats rise, and with it, the storms outside once again react. Luckily a lack of trees keeps any errant fires from occurring. Although, the likelihood of lightning striking Isaak is probably pretty good. Somehow he lucked out on this one. If he gets his chance, Alex's going to destroy him! or at least make his life VERY miserable! Indeeeeed! VERRRRRY miserable! *nefarious laughter*
Despite the growing turmoil in the house, Anneka and Niko's birthday approaches and she solemnly contemplates it all. "I don' think I want love. It's all messy and cranky..."
Aww honey. Look at your dad and mom! They love each other very much.
She sniffles a little and nods a bit in agreement at the assurance from on high.
Besides, look at what a pretty girl you've grown into. Who wouldn't want that!
"I wish for the whole world to burn in a pit of dark fiery darkness like my heart..."
Great wish, there, Ace...
And he grows into... the bathrobed avenger! With a smirk a mile long... And romance on his mind. Dear Sim-bin, the town is in trouble, isn't it?
He quickly reinvents his look to express the dark pit of dark despairing darkness in his heart.... and immediately crashes on the sofa with exhaustion. Goth-emo is such hard work, you see!
Elsewhere in the town, Amelia has gone off to college, expressing her anger at the world and herself and Alex and Isaak and... wow! That's some hate to bring into college your first day. O.o
Desperate for romance, Niko immediately hits the town on his birthday... And amazement of amazements, he stumbles on the cash cow of a few of the pixel_trade ees.His first prospect is Avery Smalls ( slyndsey He's impressed by his bad boy look!
And lo! Another bad boy profiteer!
Niko: "S'up man!!"
Komelian Ishkibibble! ( pixelcurious ) He REALLY likes Komelian!
Niko, however, quickly leaves his conversation with Komelian to run to the phone and tattle on the snooty weirdo in the tux roaming around scoping wallets.
While he makes the phone call, who should appear but the same strange wicked witch that seduced Alexei with promises of his potential. She merely laughs at Niko in that nefarious, cackling sort of way and unleashes roaches on the park before leaving!
Nevertheless, Niko's phone call apprehends the charlatan and he goes home, without love. Awwwwwww 9.9 (some reward for heroism?)
Undaunted ... he primps himself, confident that his dramatic looks will win SOMEONE over...
.......
Isaak, however, continues to play both sides of the fence. He chats up Amelia, trying to smooth out the situation... while Anneka calls him to the landline to inform him that Tammy is on the other line.
This begins to feel like a very disturbed Benny Hill show...
It's time for Isaak and Alex's birthday and Alex expresses his dislike of the cake that was given him. "But I wanted strawberry filling..."
Elle expresses her aggravation at him spoiling the fun surprise! The stress of the whole family turmoil is getting to her, too.
This time, Alex doesn't wish to rule the world. He doesn't wish for robots to smash everyone in their wake.... There is only one wish in his heart....
And grows up into... Well.. What can I say? it's David Tennant with green skin, to me.
And with that, the Sim-deity places the necklace his mother wore throughout it all on him. I'm very fond of Alex despite his evil megalomaniac tendancies. He's going to break the rules of the legacy that I set in the fact that I would only parent with Townies and Pixel_Traders.. He's my Legacy heir. He earned it.
If he winds up back with Amelia, well.. tough noogies on the rules! I'm the sim-deity and I declare them guidelines! (Like the Pirate code ;) )
Anneka drills Isaak before his own birthday grow-up, "You're not going to woohoo Tammy and Amelia at one time, are you?"
Isaak is to say the least, stunned and a bit humbled by this question.
His turn at the cake is met with the same sparkle and pomp and circumstance and I have to admit, despite my annoyance with his meddling, he's pretty nice looking, as well. Strangely enough, he is NOT a romance sim despite his philandering ways.
The challenge rolls to an end, the week wears down and Alexei and Amelia quietly share a heart to heart over what went wrong and why Isaak?
In all sincerity, Amelia has no idea, what came over her. It was a whim, a foolish mistake. She's fond of both of the brothers and sees good in each of them. She's grown up with them both. It's the only explanation she has for Alexei.
Still, and she pleads with Alex to forgive her... Only time will tell if it works out...

With the end of the week and the seek for more comfort done, Grace expresses her dislike of the comfy sofa..It needs to be broken in!
Barkbark! "Ahhh much better. This sofa needed something. That new-sofa stiffness, very bad for my old bones! Muuuuuuch better!"
Mini-challenge: Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition: NOT THE FLUFFY CUSHIONS, ANYTHING BUT THAT! All existing chairs/beds in the house must be swapped for the highest comfort replacements. You have the week to achieve this - if you've not earned enough during the week you may sell items, forego food, or whatever is necessary (without cheats) to achieve this goal -- Achieved!
Tune in next time when ...
"What're you going to name it?"
