2.0
Harper (quellasims) and Jayne were ridiculously happy and in love.
They just couldn't seem to keep their hands off each other.
Wash wasn't so sure about her at first...
but he quickly grew to love Harper too.
The family's steady diet of grilled cheese sandwiches quickly went straight to her hips.
lil_pixiedevil: Baby got back!!
So, I didn't know this until reading someone else's legacy recently that when you move in townies they often have stuff in their backpacks! Look at all the crap Harper had! Anywhoo, back to the story.
Nice one, Jayne :D
lil_pixiedevil: *stares at the pretty new lighting mod effects :D*
...
lil_pixiedevil: Hmmm, wha--? Oh yeah! The story!
Well, while Jayne was at work Harper stepped out to get the mail and met the delicous Pear (tinykat)
Jayne returned from work and told Harper all about his new promotion. That night she offered to make his favourite for dinner, you guessed it, grilled cheese.
Meanwhile, blingy music told me that I was missing something big. Sure enough, I was. I almost missed Oscar's (panda_michie)birthday!
Yeah well, tough. No way in hell I'm getting you 20 puppies and kittens >_<
Still pretty fly for an old guy :D
After dinner, Jayne and Harper decided to celebrate his promotion in other ways.
Jayne: "Did you hear that? I thought I heard bells or something..."
Heehee, this pic was simply to show off how cute Harper is in Hello Kitty pjs XD
lil_pixiedevil: Okay... that's not so cute. That's kind of stalkery, Harper.
Oscar thought so too, woke up from a deep sleep and promptly left the room.
Like the creeper she is, Harper followed him into the bathroom where he'd found Bekah (simpurity). She complimented him on how dashing and refined he looked with grey hair.
Bekah: "I couldn't agree more."
Jayne: *smirks sexily*
Harper: *stalk stalk*
Oscar: "Yes, what is it Harper?"
Harper: "Oh! Erm... nice... towel racks! Did you get them at Ikea?"
Elder!Fail *headdesk*
Harper decided to quit her current job in athletics to follow Oscar's example and find a career in Law Enforcement. Afterall, her LTW is to become a Captain Hero!
Sorry, we interrupt the flow of events to once again show off Spooky's lighting mod. Omg, I love it. Now... where were we? Oh, yes!
Harper was a natural in her new postion and quickly advanced.
And it wasn't the only thing about her that did!! First pop :D
She and Bekah bonded over their mutual love of the fish Harper brought with her when she moved in. Bekah had owned fish years before, but they'd had to sell the tank to buy a new toilet.
Shit.
Oscar, on the other hand, was not doing so well at work. He took his demotion very hard.
Bekah tried to cheer him up, but to no avail.
Oscar decided to take a leave of absence from his job in order to find himself, he said.
Bekah was not at all convinced that this was in anyway a good idea, but Oscar implored her. "Can't you see?", he begged "There must be more to life than working a 9 to 5 job! I need to explore outlets for my creative impulses!"
He redecorated the girls old bedroom. Here it is before...
...and here it is after.
Yup... you guessed it.
WEDNESDAY!
Roll 4.2 - Suffering for your Art: one sim becomes CONSUMED by painting/artistry and its all they can do or think about. Shut one sim up in a room (remove the door) of their house with easels (and the pottery wheel if you have one), a mirror, a bowl of fruit, a sink and the most expensive couch you can buy as an art studio. Direct them to paint/sculpt at all times, ignoring their needs but not x-ing anything from their queue. You may place plates of food in the room with the hand tool, but they cannot be removed.
Oscar said his good-byes and secured their promises to board up the door once he was inside only leaving a space big enough to fit food through. He settled down on the sofa and waited for inspiration to strike.
He'd learned well after living with neat-freaks for many years and dutifully did his dishes after every meal.
After he'd eaten, he picked up the paint brushes he'd disgarded years before and took up where he'd left off.
He suddenly realized that he'd forgot something VERY important when redecorating the room.
Meanwhile, life went on without him. Pop two!
Bekah was a little lost without her beloved Oscar. She spent most of her spare time either diving into the pool, or just standing around doing nothing.
Having completed his first painting, Oscar decided to attempt a portrait of his son, Jayne.
The newness of the experiment was quickly wearing on Oscar. He longed to return to work.
It wasn't long until the very thought of painting irritated him.
The humiliation and horror he felt was almost more than he could bear.
Having only a couch to sleep on, he often slept fitfully or not at all.
He grew so desparately lonely, that he began hallucinating.
And then... the camera did this ALL BY IT'S SELF! OMG, UPSKIRT!
lil_pixiedevil: Harper honey, what's the matter?
lil_pixiedevil: Oh, I see! Carry on then!
It's a boy!
And apparently, my tinkering of that custom skintone in SimPE worked, because we have our first non-blue sim born to this legacy :D
Wash: *is an attention whore*
Awww, little Victor has his mummy's skintone and his daddy's blond hair and black eyes.
lil_pixiedevil: Omg, so cute :D *dies*
Oscar: "What?! Wait, what did I miss?!"
lil_pixiedevil: Err, nothing. Carry on.
Bekah adores her grandson.
Jayne decides to follow his parents example and celebrate the birth of one baby by creating another.
Oscar: "I finished the damn portrait of Jayne. Now can I please get the fuck outta here?!"
lil_pixiedevil: Sorry bb, it's not time yet.
lil_pixiedevil: Oh no...don't do that.
lil_pixiedevil: I can't handle seeing old guys cry!! *wibbles*
After a short rest, Harper returned to work and continued to excel.
lil_pixiedevil: NO! Bad, Harper! Bad, bad Harper!
Mal came over to visit.
Bekah filled him in on all the important details going on around the house.
And introduced him to his nephew.
Wash: *photobombs*
lil_pixiedevil: *groans* Oh not Mal, too!
Bekah pulled out her old punching bag and decided to work off some of that grilled cheese.
lil_pixiedevil: Damn, girl! You work out those daddy issues!
lil_pixiedevil: *backs away slowly*
Oscar grew increasingly concerned for his sanity when his own hallucinations began to gang up on him.
Mal, Inara and Kaylee occasionally stopped by for a bite to eat and the family gossip.
And to smustle. These Brie's sure do love a good smustle!
lil_pixiedevil: Aw, man! Harper you were on a role! What happened?!
After sleeping badly many nights in a row, Wash was devestated when, for the first time, his power failed him.
Had he lost his power? Would it ever return? He wondered, the thought crushing him.
WE WILL NOW DESTRACT YOU FROM THE SAD PUPPY WITH A PICTURE OF JAYNE POSING SEXILY FOR THE CAMERA!
And more examples of Spooky's amazing lighting mod! I know, I know... I'll shut up about it now. LOL!
Oscar: "You don't understand! I need to get out of here!"
lil_pixiedevil: Hey Oscar, if you're feeling down why don't you work on your painting?
Oscar: Oh HELL no, anything but that!
Once Bekah had settled Victor down, she called her family together.
lil_pixiedevil: Not now, Harper! OMG, inappropriate!
Oh, he's gonna be cute!
Heehee, spot the fail(s)!
lil_pixiedevil: Yup, I'd say that confirms it!
Once little Victor had had some sleep, Oscar gave him a makeover.
Much better! Oh, he is so cute :D
Of course, the toddler years wouldn't be complete without a potty-training-face-montage...
Awwww
Love, love, love :D
lil_pixiedevil: WHAT ARE YOU DOING SO CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE POOL???
lil_pixiedevil: Oh, just smustling? Carry on then.
lil_pixiedevil: Hey Oscar, why don't you paint away your sorrow?
TO BE CONTINUED!
