The Florence Legacy: Generation 1, Part 2
Part 1 can be found here.
When last we left, I was having a mild panic attack.
So, I went to The Sims wiki and I searched the Time Machine page and found this: "It's possible for Sims to meet their previous selves and/or previous companions, and tell them to stop fighting and focus on love and family. If this happens, a Sim may suddenly have a child.
FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
NO. NOOOOO, WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DONE WITH CHILDREN FOR THIS GENERATION. WHYYY?
Ugh. Okay, fine. Whatever. Welcome to the family, you little bundle of unexpected spawn.
Meet Pirate Florence.
Anyway, off the topic of unplanned time traveling children and onto the heir’s birthday!
Pilot: Yeah, little sis! Woo!
Pearl: I’m pretty. Why can’t they cheer for me?
Calm down, Pearl.
Bunk, Madeline, and Pippin: *all blow birthday horns*
Pirate: Yeah, go Pippa!
Merry: YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH PIPPA!
My thoughts exactly, guys.
Pippa: All of this for me? I didn’t know I was so special…
Aw, my shy little flower.
And before I reveal the finished product that is this family’s heir, the Florence family house was becoming a hassle expanding. It looked awkward and weird, and Bunk had the funds from his amazing ghost busting skills to invest in real estate. So the family moved to the other side of the river.
This is the new house. Pilot lives in the attic with a sectioned off quarter with an inventing table just for him, very fitting, the little eccentric dumpster diver. Pippa has her own bedroom, as does Pirate, and Bunk and Madeline have the master suite with two bathrooms. The garage off to the left there has an apartment upstairs and that’s where Pearl and Pippin live. Merry, the imaginary friend, sleeps on their living room floor in a sleeping bag. He’s content, don’t you side eye me like that.
Pirate: …this is cool.
Your own room? I imagine so, since you’ve shared a room with about three boys your whole life even though you were an unexpected addition. Enjoy it.
The first priority after moving into the new house was getting Pippin and Pearl married. Which, of course, meant throwing a bachelor party.
You crazy kids.
Pippin and Pilot: THE ONLY BREW FOR THE BRAVE AND TRUE COMES FROM THE GREEN DRAGON!
Omigawd.
Pearl and Madeline were forced to vacate the premises with Pirate. They caught a movie together which was more along the lines of mother/daughter-in-law bonding time + awkward time traveling child your husband spawned without your help. Cool.
Pippa however was invited, and Pippin decided to be a good brother and invite her boyfriend, Coeur, who was a teen when he arrived, and poor Pippa, now being a young adult, was NOT going to party with a teen. So by the ~powers above, Coeur suddenly had a birthday as he walked through the door.
Coeur: How you doin’?
Merry: I’M HERE, TOO.
OH MY GOD MERRY SHUT UP.
Pippa: Oh, Coeur, you’re pretty too!
The heir, ladies and gentlemen! Isn’t she adorable? I love her so.
Anyway, back to the bachelor party.
Oh damn, I left them alone singing the Green Dragon song.
Should have expected this.
Then, while I was awing over Pilot’s amazing trampoline skills (he really loves that thing O_o), these women were suddenly in the kitchen… and then I realized.
UM, MERRY, EXCUSE YOU.
Merry: We’re bringing sexy back.
Pilot: HELL YEAH, WE ARE!
WHERE ARE THE PARENTS. WHERE, I ASK YOU. Bunk was out fulfilling his lifetime wish.
And Madeline was bonding with her daughter-in-law and her husband’s time traveling spawn. It’s kind of really cute, because Madeline and Pirate are best friends. She was not at all bitter towards her husband for his less than thoughtful donation, but in this regard, Pirate has become a good addition to the family.
The next day, Pearl and Pippin got married in the backyard. It was...nice.
Pippin: Cake. This party is about CAKE.
Pearl: I’m prettier than that cake, right?
Dude, what is with you.
The family then showed their aptitude for the art of dance.
And as much as I adore Pippin and Pearl, they moved out because that was the sole purpose of them getting married, to be honest. I love them but TOO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS HOUSE. So, off with you! Oh, Merry went with them (lol, he’s just that awkward third wheel, bless him).
While his oldest moved out with two other leeches family members, Bunk had to go to work. Poor bb aged up at work in a stranger’s living room, with only irate ghosts to cheer him on.
Bunk: Woo! I get a pimp cane! Let’s do this!
Something tells me you aren’t going to stay this enthusiastic…
Bunk: ….I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS.
Here is a picture of elder Bunk.
Oh, darling. ♥
His age doesn’t slow him down interacting with his children though.
Also, he did get a pimp cane.
And apparently Madeline’s into it.
I feel quite bad for Madeline, because I sent Pirate off to boarding school, specifically LeFromage Art School Cost.
And they were pretty much keeping each other company the entire time. Seriously, they were best friends.
Madeline: *sighs* I’m so bored. I’ve gotten my LTW, and my best friend is gone. What am I going to do now?
Don’t worry, dear. There are quite a few weddings in your future.
Around this time, Pilot, seeing everyone having fun with significant others, started to realize that dumpster diving would not give him that satisfaction. Well, he happened to meet one of my other sims in the town, Jane (C WUT I DID THAR?). Fortunately, Bunk knows Jane and her roommate because he had to bust a ghost or two out of her house. The unfortunate part is that Jane’s roommate is completely batshit, because I was bored one day. That’s the only reason you’re getting from me.
Bunk: GDI gadgets, they don’t make quality anymore…
Leona Griffin: ASDFJKAL;SDAFASDFH!!!!!!!!
((I watch too much Family Guy.))
Pilot met Jane (in the blue) because she was working at the bookstore, and he wanted to get the nerve up to ask her out, but she is unflirty and ran away gracelessly.
And to any Game of Thrones fans, that is Cersei trollin’ there. You’re welcome.
Anyway, since their first meeting was a blunder, Pilot went to Bunk to ask him for his help.
Pilot: Dad, please, she was so nice. She works at the bookstore! We met when I was alphabetizing the magazines again. Just tell me where she lives so I can say hi?
Bunk: This can’t end badly.
If by badly you mean your son not going to her house and completely creeping in the window… then no, it didn’t end badly at all.
FYI, Pilot had to do this about three times because Jane was being a coy little pain in the ass. But they eventually started to date. Yet even still, I hate unflirty sims. WHY DOES NOTHING PLEASE YOU? I digress. Because it seems our heir Pippa has something up her sleeve.
Pippa: Let’s go to the park. I think it would be a good idea to go to the park right now.
Coeur: Why’s that?
Pippa: …no reason.
He said yes, just in case you were wondering. But really, who would turn down that face?
Pippa has her priorities in order and immediately went home and told her parents. Madeline in turn decided to throw a bachelorette party for her daughter, leaving Bunk to weep in the corner and wish for his daughter’s childhood back. You think I’m joking, just wait.
Madeline made the weirdest guest list, I swear. But she did remember to invite all her children and their significant others, so that’s the only important thing though I think it's odd to have her brother so enthusiastic.
Pippa: UGH, PIPPIN! STOP!
Pippin: YOU CAN DRINK YOUR FANCY ALES, YOU CAN DRINK ‘EM BY THE FLAGON-
I didn’t take a lot of pictures of Pippa’s bachelorette party (which ended up being a visitation of Pippin’s bachelor party, basically), but I did document this jerk who kept trying to flirt with Pippin deciding to skinny dip in the hot tub.
Pippa: Skinny dip at MY party? Hit on MY married brother? Bitch, I’m going to put you in your place.
Pippa: Okay, Pip, play it cool.
Random stranger: Is Pippin looking?
No, he is not.
After the Party, Bunk decided to discover the remaining potion he hadn’t made yet, and caught on fire. As he does (and has done at least once a day since we bought that damn chemistry table).
Bunk: OW OWOWOWOWOW FFFFFUUUUU-
Wait- who-?
PILOT TO THE RESCUE! +++
I didn’t want to wait around, because this is a legacy, even if it isn’t documented very well. So, Coeur and Pippa got married a few days later, though it kept getting delayed for reasons. Mostly because people were either at work or passing out from exhaustion. Anyway, it DID happen though!
Pippa got a makeover for the occasion.
Pippa: Confidence is key, just relax, he isn’t going to run… no, not a chance…
Coeur in fact did not run.
Actually, the minute he showed up to the wedding, he held hands with his fiancé before heading to the altar.
Coeur: Ready?
Pippa: *shyly* Yeah, I’m definitely ready.
I’M NOT. I AM IN NO WAY PREPARED FOR THIS.
Beware of the wedding spam.
Pippin: That’s my sister! Breaking hearts! *swoon*
…and that’s Pippin’s wife, who showed up in her own wedding dress.
Pearl: I’m prettier than her, right?
Madeline: NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH.
+++
That's definitely one of my founders.
Oh look! It’s teenage Pirate, who came home for the wedding! HI BABY!
Pilot: I REMEMBER HER DANCING IN HER TUTU LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY. I LOVE YOU BABY SISTER, YOU GO GIRL. *weeps*
Pirate: Now I’m the only one left alone. So alone…
Aw, Pirate, it’s okay, buck up! You still have your dad!
…um, maybe.
Bunk: THAT’S MY ONLY LITTLE GIRL AND NOW SHE’S ALL GROWN UP HELP ME I CANNOT HANDLE THIS. *unabashed weeping*
Siriusly, Bunk's heartbroken expressions and crying over his baby girl broke me. SO SWEET.
See that creepy bald guy? Remember him.
Coeur and Pippa: ♥
Pippa: Let’s cut the cake, I guess…
Coeur: Yeeeeeah, let’s cut the cake. Excellent.
I forgot to mention Coeur and Pippin are good friends.
So after everyone left, I kept hearing this weird popping sound. I thought it was the effects machine for the dance floor, but after clearing it, it was still going on. Then I found the source.
Creepy bald guy. He was stuck clapping from the ceremony.
Coeur attempted to talk to him to tell him to GTFO, but that didn’t help.
Creepy Bald Guy: CLAPCLAPCLAP.
Coeur: I will burn everything you love.
Immediately after everyone left, Coeur and Pippa went upstairs to their bedroom where they started to goof around. Coeur then “got frisky.”
Which segues into the honeymoon…
To be continued.
