Chapter 1.2: So Many Birthdays
Last time: Anathema grew up and Pepper was born. That was about it I suppose.
Some lovely chess bonding between Anathema and Anna. Evan and Pepper are off in the corner.
Pepper: Bi-winning!
Skilling up Pepper seems to take more time then Anathema did.
Anna: The internet is very important. There's all sorts of things on there, like... Actually, you don't need to know.
Pepper: Internets.
Anna: Okay, I'm done for the day. Evan, I'm heading out!
She ends up at the graveyard, where she meets this vaguely creepy man.
Man: Your eyes are so pretty...I want to add them to my collection.
Anna: Oh, hello. Nice to meet you.
Man: Why don't you come home with me? We could have lots of fun.
Anna: Hahahaha. Oh, you're serious. Thanks but no thanks.
Man: Aw, come on lady. You're not going to do much better you know.
Anna: Excuse me?! I have children. I've already 'done better'.
He doesn't take kindly to this.
Anna: Bring it on, fuckwad!
Man: Holy shit, my back.
Anna: Mmhm. Walk away now. I will stay in the graveyard, so you have to leave.
Man: But I-
Anna: What's that? You want to get beat up again? Wow, you're quite the maschocist.
Meanwhile, as Anna was fighting creepers, Evan is attempting to make dinner.
Evan: Fuck. Looks like it's jam on tost tonight kids!
Evan is not the most talented when it comes to cooking. He has two skill points and still burns everything. If there was a way to ruin Autumn Salad, he'd do it.
Anathema autonomously cleans. She's not even neat. Never change! <3<3
Anathema: Well, it's not like my parents ever clean it, so I might as well...
Anna: This toilet's so clean I think I may be sick!
I don't think that's why you're going to be sick.
Anna: Shut up. I'm right.
Anna goes over her best friend's house before work. I think his name is Beau, but I can't be 100% sure. His wife takes this opportunity to try and solicit money.
Victoria: Art is an important aspect to a child's development. With just a small donation, you can help!
Anna: Mm, nope.
Beau: Speaking of art, how about I put my quill in your ink pot? Eh, get it?
Anna: Oh god, trust me, I got it. My ears feel violated.
Victoria: PERSON PERSON MINUS
Anna: Oh, he's going to get his ass kicked.
I kind of just took this to show off her work uniform. Moving up the ranks!
Anna: Crap, you were right.
So it begins again.
Anathema: Excellent work getting pregnant mom. I salute you.
Anna: ...Thank you?
Anna: Guess what~
Evan: You got a promotion?
Anna: Nope.
Evan: Um...Anathema made honor roll?
Anna: That's not it, but she did.
Evan: I give up, what?
Anna: I'm pregnant. :D
WOAH, MIND BLOWING.
Neither one dreamed about the upcoming child that night, just work. Poor kid. Nonetheless, she was born just fine.
On one hand, white hair! Finally! On the other, both Anna and Evan have a locked in wish for a boy from before Anathema was born. I even made her eat apples! But nope, my game was like, 'hahahahahah. NO!'
Anyway, meet Marjorie Dickens. She's a slob and a loser who likes hip-hop music, key lime pie and spiceberry. Because what new-born baby doen't know their favorite type of music.
Evan: So hungry. But everything burns! D:
This little boy comes home from school with Anathema one day. He's very...pale. I am a fan of the orange flip-flops though.
Anna: My baby has a boy over! I'm so excited! Oh, it's too soon! Conflicting feelings!
Calm down Anna. They're just sitting there doing homework.
Anna: Now it's homework. But I can tell that boy's a crafty one...
Anna: I'll stand here awkwardly spying on them. It's a genius plan.
Yes, very inconspicuous.
Pepper: Blocks <3<3
Marjorie: You were right, blocks are awesome!
Pepper: Well, obviously I was right.
Pepper grew up, but I have no pictures of her birthday and I don't know why!
Here's a CAS shot of her though! She gained the trait Genius.
Because of she's a heavy sleeper, Anathema can sleep right through Marjorie's wailing. Pepper, however, cannot.
Pepper: BE QUIET.
Marjorie: I"M HUNGRY!!
This usually happens about twice every night...
Birthday time! I love when sims simultaneously cheer.
Anathema: I wish that I could have my own room!
Not going to happen sweetheart.
So pretty! She gained Absent-Minded.
It was also Anna's birthday, but I forgot, so she didn't get a cake.
Anna: Oh joy, I'm aging.
Holy shit. That must be dealt with.
Anna: You still find me attractive, right?
Evan: Of couse I do love. In fact...
Okay, moving on!
Anathema continues being awesome autonomously.
Anathema: Let's just ignore the sounds coming from mom and dad's room okay Marjorie?
Marjorie: I don't care what we do as long as I get fed.
Teaching your sister how to walk like a boss.
Anna: Anathema, now that you're a teenager, you're going to have some urges.You're going to want to take off your clothes and touch other teens. But if you do, you will get chlamydia and die.
Anathema: I learned this from the internet a long time ago mom. But thanks for advice.
Ignore my fail at putting the walls up.
Anathema: Hi Darnell. Oh, you grew up too? Well I just had the most interesting talk with my mom...
I'm going to stop here. Any comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading!
