Recap: Thorn turned into a creepy stalker of man-maid Billy. Mandrake was emo. Casey and Ying was, as per usual, super sweet together and not doing anything exciting, really. Wu and Gerb even less so. The twins finally, finally grew up and Happy Poopbag Maid made havoc.
We'll start off with Gerb being a totally kick-ass old man doing snazzy matrix moves.
Ivy: He's sitting right behind me, isn't he? Oh god I can feeeeel iiiiit.
Ying: Yeah bb, work it, those grunts just does it so good for me.
Not being allowed to coach Casey anymore, Ying tries to satisfy his needs by watching from afar.
Mandrake actually had a wish to do something. To do something fun. To do something fun in public no less. So of course I indulged him.
He had to run all the way though, so that no one saw him entering the movies.
Meanwhile, Thorn spends his time randomly standing on the lawn.
Thorn: bohahahaha world dominationnnn hahahahawhahaha-haaa
Yes honey, you really do need to burn some of those calories... wtf.
Thorn: Hey Billy, wanna meet me up in the park later? I am just so boooored ♥
*stalks them in the bushes*
Billy: You know, pink really does look good on you. It brings out the green/turquoise/blue glow in your eyes.
Thorn: Really? *giggle* Thank you ~ ♥
Thorn: Would you like to come back to my place and then we could... you know... paint some scenery together?
Billy: Yeah, I'd really like that *Creeper smile*
This is just all kinds of wrong. Out in a park after dark running for you life with some creeper chasing after you.
Wu: I never see you smile Mandrake. You ought to smile more. A young man achieves things when he smiles.
Mandrake: what is my life? I had delicious waffle, and now it's all gone... gone...
You get that heart out of your thought bubble mister!
Billy: So how about that "painting" you promised?
D:
Casey: One... err... two?... no one?
I love the light bulb you got over your head there Casey xD And lookit, Lihua is pregnant with a second kid.
This is Lakisha (was it?). Somehow inherited her mother's fake orange hair. That's nice.
Roberto: Oh god that kid stinks. Someone do something about that kid, I'm throwing up.
Casey: Hello little one. I really wish you luck in life! Hang in there as long as you can.
Lihua: N'awww- Hey!
Kid is in hunger and energy desperation. NORMAL KIDS ARE IN BED AT 4 AM IN THE MORNING!
Thorn: zzzZzz world dominationnnnn moh-aaaa-haa zzzZZz
Praise the day! I think Mandrake is reviving, he actually got an ambition in life.
Yeah, real clever drinking coffee when you're red on energy Ying; now I'll have you up all night harassing people.
Mandrake was the first one he got a hold of (since he never goes to bed, ever).
Ying: Hey, d'you wanna play catch or what? It's such a brilliant morning wanna play catch yeah?
Mandrake: I can't believe my dad finally acknowledges me
Casey: if I keep my focus straight forward and don't get eye contact I MIGHT just get past him.
Mandrake: Fuck, dad, why do you have to throw so hard?
Well, the Jericho legacy just ended at that branch.
Thorn is SUCH a creeper. I am afraid of what might be hidden under his bed at this point.
Here's his little wall of fame: some of the guys he "looks up to" I guess.
Nettle is really cute, though- err... when she isn't losing video games that is.
And Ivy?
Ivy: Oh goooood it's so far down jesus it's going too fast I'm gonna diieeeeee
Mandrake: I hate marriage. I wish you and dad never had gotten married. Then maybe I'd never have been born.
Mandrake: her distress is somehow so inspiring. I must paint this. I am thinking blue.
Thorn: lol
Casey: Honey, are you alright?
Ivy: Oh you did not just piss yourself? Ewww!
Mandrake: ALL THIS PAIN MAKES ME TIRED
Thorn: Somehow I must turn all the attention back to me, but how?
Casey: Nachos
Gerb: Hey girl, look at these cans! That's some hard workout for you!
Ivy: You're just soooo gross. Sooo gross.
Nettle: STILL GOTTA PEEEEE
Thorn: I JUST PEED MYSELF TOO!!!
Thorn: my master plan worked, crown me king today
Thorn: Damn you Ivy, stealing my attention again!!
YOU GUYS HAVE TOILETS JESUS CHRIST LOOK AT THAT PUDDLE WTH IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
Ying got promoted to cat burglar and both girls promptly rolled these lifetime wishes. Talk about hatin' on your dad.
Thorn always dishes out the juiciest gossip. I wouldn't have been even half aware of what was going on around town hadn't it been for him.
I find this oddly exciting, though I feel a bit sorry about childless Lanfen. Her having the family oriented trait and all. Donny Todd was a good-for-nothing.
Twin birthdays!
Mandrake: I hate birthdays.
Err, hey guys, the birthday kid is behind you.
On the left: Nettle! Clumsy, Athletic, Friendly and Bookworm. Wants to be an International Super Spy
On the right: Ivy! Light sleeper, Athletic, Coward and a Loser. Wants to be an International Super Spy also.
They both turned out so magnificent, but gorgeous in each their way ♥
Is he? Has he finally done it?!
Nah, he's a faker.
And apparently so is Ivy.
I feel like such a horrible player when my sims drop like that all the time.
Then, for some reason the kids weren't going to school, so I checked what was up... this was most mysterious.
Zooming out I discovered that the entire neighbourhood was melting.
Time to move I guess.. ?
This, of course, made me feel so much better, especially since Jericho has burned once before.
They landed safe though. I moved them to Riverview since I have never really played that town, and I wasn't feeling up to Sunset Valley again.
I'm sad Lanfen, Lihua and her kids and Happy PoppbagMaid are gone though...
Their new house. It's as big as all get out and lags like crap. I also went empty of money before I could start on any garden to speak of.
Foyer.
Kitchen.
~Dining room~
Living room (I have a feeling I will regret that bar soon enough)
Family room. So far sparingly furnished. Planning on stuffing all the kid toys in here when that time comes again.
Study
Master bedroom I
Master bedroom II
Random little corridor corner I liked.
Thorn's bedroom
Twin's bedroom
Mandrake's bedroom.
Mandrake: Boooo you suck grandma! I hate you boo!!
Kid has issues.
I decided to send Wu and her grandkids down to the town center to get to know the city a little better, and from somewhere she busted out this nifty little limo.
Wu wanted to perform in front of six people, which is easy peasy when your family is enough to populate an entire country.
(It's just so Casey's horde of blonde kids. It just makes me so happy to see them all together, for some reason )
Creepy statue is creepy.
Thorn: BEING OUTSIDE IN THE BEAUTIFUL SUN SUCKS!
Nettle: I find your view on this outing offensive, please direct your arguments to someone else.
Scrolling around the town I found this rather grumpy looking tourist. I thought I'd cheer him up.
Tourist: I can sense something evil is nearby.
Thorn: bohahahahahahaha-haaaaa *lurks*
Unfortunately there was a trait incompatibility going on.
Thorn:ewwwww he's good
Tourist:ewwww, he's evil
Thorn: I have a really good looking sister though, maybe you would like to check her out?
Tourist: I'm more... leaning in the direction of your grandfather, you know?
Thorn: You mean like my sister Nettle? She's pretty earthbound and fun-
Tourist: Yeah, I like your brother. The guy standing over there! Him!
STOP TRYING TO TRADE AWAY YOUR SIBLINGS YOU CREEPER
Tourist being a dead end I continued scrolling. I fell upon this guy. No, not the macho, bearded Hunter, though he is awesome. The pale, scared looking thing behind him. He reminds me of Happy Poobag Maid! ♥
And would you look at that; no wedding band!
Random spam of the twins. Just because it's been such a long time since last.
Ivy: the CLOWNS they're out to get me! They're hiding behind those bushes there, I know it!!
Nettle: How sad; my sister is a loser...
When nightfall had come and most had gone home, the twins preserved by playing catch.
Ivy: I SEE THE SECOND COMING!!
One day in Riverview and Wu already got her own little fanbase.
At home I am really not in the least surprised that Mandrake is the first to have found his way to the bar.
But Thorn is the one given the privilege to take the new house's Birthday virginity. And he seems happy about it. Very happy.
Thorn: I can take my creeping to an entierly different level now.
You won't believe what he rolled... Vegetarian. "I HATE NATURE, WATER, ART AND MEAT!" I bet he's nihilistic.
Yes, handiness and gardening... this is completely the right career path for Thorn.
All grown up!
And now it's time to find a heir. I've put up a heir poll, so voting is onnnnnnn.
Until next time ♥
