Randolph Legacy, Generation 8.4!
Where's the pixel_trade? Current spouse, Cassie Roberts, is by leenyland!
Last time, I provided evidence that Cassie was now able to remove food from the fridge. Whether or not she could before this is still a mystery. Epimetheus skipped school, and Hyperion got the investment perk. Mnemosyne became a toddler, with XD eyes! Atlas became a teen, Grilled Cheese/Pleasure sim, while his twin Aura became a Knowledge/Grilled Cheese sim. Hyperion broke the 100K mark and became permaplat! Ananke hooked up with Nathrezim Magicakes. Atlas showed off the new teen/child noogie ability while tormenting Epimetheus. Atlas became the first resident to use the bubble bong. Mnemosyne became a child, but grew up badly. Hyperion began work on a "novel": "If You Spend Enough Money, You Can Reach the Moon--a tale of the importance of money," by Hyperion Randolph Prometheus and Epimetheus both became teens, Fortune sims. Prometheus's secondary was Popularity, and Epimetheus's was Family. And we left off with Tethys and Theia heading off to Uni!
Aura managed to conduct an entire conversation with Mnemosyne while her little sister was behind her.
Aw, hugs for my little girl?
Ew, Mommy, no!
Mnemosyne's still a little...maladjusted.
Oh god, what did I do?!
I'm a little concerned that he's burned blueberry pancakes, which is like my de facto "Serve Breakfast" meal for all my ISBIs.
Dear Lord, I thank you for this bounty you have prepared for me, so that I may not starve to death. Again. Amen.
DADDY, THIS TASTES LIKE BUTT!
Look, I don't really want to smack Mnemosyne upside the head. She's a little girl. But she makes it so hard not to!
What do you mean, Atlas?
Video games are stupid. You're all stupid for playing them. STUPID STUPID STUPID--
Mnemosyne, honey, it's not appropriate to raise your voice like that at the tabl--
Mommy, you're too stupid to EAT, why would I listen to you?!
As soon as it's age appropriate, Atlas, you have my blessing to perform desired smackage.
I, for one, am glad that my daughter-in-law hasn't starved to death lately.
Thanks, Ananke.
Glad to see you've patched up your differences.
I'm especially glad that my grandchildren have been making good grades. That leads to scholarship money, which leads to college degrees, which leads to higher paying jobs!
...Fortune sims.
Hyperion continues to write his guide on the importance of money, though later I forget to send him to the computer in his spare time, so it doesn't get finished. T_T
Skaði Bork walks by, stealing the newspaper. *sigh* Even my OWN sims are getting in on it...
Oh shut up, you make me regret having the Magicakes kill the FIRST mail lady!
Glad to see that Cassie's reaching for the stars.
Oh good, it looks like Dad's made something impossible to burn.
Since my twin here was stupid enough to pass out in a plate of salad, I propose that you two are my new BFFs. What do you say?
For one, your lack of loyalty is a bit disturbing.
sea_serpent's Scyther Scallywag walks by, but there's no one around to invite him in. Also, Aura still snoring into a bed of lettuce, so there's not much reason to.
HI DAD I GOT AN A+ BUT I'M GOING TO SHOW MOMMY EVEN THOUGH SHE'S PROBABLY WAY TOO STUPID TO APPRECIATE IT.
Why can't I do my homework now? I'm so tired, I can't do it later!
Yeah, well, Atlas has got more of a back-up. You'll survive.
God, Mnemosyne is annoying.
You know, most of the time when youngest children are terrors it's because they've been coddled. I don't know what went wrong with your sister.
You know, it's nice to see that maybe not all of my ISBI kids will end up pudgy. As long as the exercise machine doesn't kill them, that is.
OHMYGOD, it squeezed out Epimetheus's insides, including his urine!
Maybe now that Mnemosyne's got some aspiration points, she'll be less of a terror?
Haha, she's barely in the green. Even after that.
...how?
Instead of that stupid llama game, you should buy us a pool table, Grammy! I can see it now...
...a college scholarship for playing pool!
Don't be silly, Mnem.
Mnemosyne--a visionary.
Aura, meanwhile, is continuing to have about as much trouble not dying as her dear mother.
What on earth is wrong with you? You're nearly a grown woman, Aura!
I'm sure she really needs your lecture to realize what a horrible thing just happened, Hyperion. Especially since she probably would've made it to the toilet if you hadn't been in the way.
Cassie doesn't have that problem. If they don't want to leave the bathroom, they'll have to watch her pee.
Oh god, I wet myself!
Needless to say, Aura wasn't boarding the school bus voluntarily in this state. I also didn't want the same scenario repeating itself, so she got to stay home.
Epimetheus slept through the bus's arrival.
Pudding is still very, very much a part of Cassie's diet.
You better shape up, missy. The only people who pee in public are drunken bums and construction workers!
B-but I was already in the bathroom, grandma!
Also, I seem to remember a drunken Ananke peeing herself in the living room.
Apparently, Aura's fail is just too much to be overcome by one of her brothers' academic success. Ananke is still depressed.
I'm still proud of you, Prometheus!
...aww.
Seriously? I don't WANT Ananke to die yet!
Ananke was friendly with a lot of people, but not on awesome terms with many.
Laid to rest between her mother and husband.
It's Aura's fault Grandma died! She made her upset!
Wait, Grandma died?!
Don't believe a word your brother says about causing your grandmother's death. Everybody knows she was just old.
Not exactly as comforting as you intended, Cass.
While we appreciate the autonomous grilled cheese, it's time for Aura to head off to college.
Hyperion and Cassie happily celebrate two more flown the nest.
Don't worry, Atlas, I'll take over keeping Mnem in line!
Let--go--you--booger-face!
Get a room. (Again.)
It was glitched out, Emmett. GET OVER IT.
YA!Aura. She has a very full face.
YA!Atlas seems to be a dark-complected, male version of his mother.
Epimetheus bathtub pirating motto is "leave no imaginary man behind!"
When you grow up, hopefully you'll earn a load of money like I did.
...I think I'll settle for consistently cooking pancakes without burning them.
Damn, Mnem, that's cold.
Hyperion, I'm a little worried by how much emphasis you put on money when talking to the children. I mean, it's not like you would have loved me more if I was less poor, is it?
...
Is it?
(Hi, Deimos!)
Fuck off and die, Deimos.
Sure, she kinda deserves come-uppance, but I'm getting the feeling I should've dubbed the teaser "Hyperion Randolph is Surrounded by Urine."
So, your sister wet herself.
Aura peeing herself is old news.
...how many of my children are keeping secret bladder issues from me?!
I don't think that's their only ~issues~, FYI.
Cassie, I'm glad you like cleaning, and I understand scrubbing out one's toilet is important...
...but I'm pretty sure you had to walk around this puddle of urine to even get to that toilet, so why is it still there. On the floor. In the living room.
Pro, we tied.
This is bullshit, you cheated! My twintuition totally said you were going to pick paper.
Age discrimination is cruel, boys.
Noogies still abound with the Randolph Gen 8 boys.
Sorry Cassie, but Hyperion has to go work. Your ACR caresses will have to wait until 4pm. Now stop giving the neighbors a show.
Prometheus, if you insist on feeling up the repairman while wearing only a pair of underoos, I think your family is going to have trouble keeping one around.
Yes, I know you all love your pancakes. Don't look so smug, Epimetheus--you pulled them out of the refrigerator!
Mom doesn't always know how to use the--
Shush.
I don't know why it took so long for me to download kingmike1224's Fleur Simpson, but she is gooooorge!
Since the kids haven't been bringing home school friends, Hyperion convinces Arielle Lutzen (simfinite) to meet his sons by greeting her on the street.
Who knows, Mnemosyne might find herself a BF in her new age group!
Romance/Family
So she'll be happy with a variety of babydaddies? Not totally bipolar with wants for multiple lovers AND a golden anniversary or something?
Every. Milestone.
Mnem's straight.
Now, maybe it's just me, but THIS is exactly what I imagined when I paired Cassie off with Hyperion.
Nice to know that one good milestone hasn't curbed the attitude, girly.
SPAMMAGE
What is the deal with this game? I'm bored.
It takes strategy and a steady hand, Mnem.
One sneeze can undo everything, Mom. That's hardly a game of skill!
Emmett and Deimos apparently conspired to make Arielle wet herself.
Too bad I didn't think about the copious piles of urine when I was debating about my teaser. It gets more fitting the further this update goes.
Prometheus was distracted away from a balloon fight with Mnemosyne by the drum. He was drawn to the rhythm.
You wear a ballet outfit to do what?!
A walkby by alfredaskew's Essie!
Epimetheus (and Prometheus) go off to college.
Whoa, my hands, they're so OLD...
Actually, Cass, it's not just your hands.
AW, cute outfit, you get to keep!
I'm keeping the hair, too. I had no illusions that Cassie was going to be more dignified as an elderly woman.
Hyperion wanted to win a cooking contest, so he went off to the lot. This is Willowmere's cooking master. I LOVE my game's random generated sims.
Gonna make mad bank at the contest.
I can't believe I finally got to go off campus!
selzi's Adrian Brooks is beginning to tire of eternal undergrad, it seems.
Here's the food critic. ILU random number generator.
She seems to have it out for Hyperion already. RIGGED JUDGING, RIGGED JUDGING.
Despite the disgustting appearance of the group meal, Hyperion has produced a tasty Chicken Fried Steak dinner for the competition.
I'm just here to meet new people!
...oh god, this chipper creepy guy is my penance for killing off a bartender for the Magicakes, isn't it?
Prof on the end made spaghetti, Cook lady made baked alaska, and Creepo bartender made greek salad. I think Hyperion's got a shot...
While I am a little disconcerted by how the peas, cornbread, and country gravy seemed to materialize out of nothingness as I was being served, I can't say that makes them any less tasty.
A slightly unsure Hyperion gets a blue ribbon. YAYYYYYY
Hyperion thinks his wife's still got it!
...she also thinks his grandpa is sexy.
Hyperion is staring at his hands, which means it's time for...
Is my outfit not snazzy?
Oh, you look so proud of yourself. Fine. Keep it. Be the laughingstock of the neighborhood and sore point for your future grandchildren on the schoolyard.
Welp, I better get off to Uni before my parents die!
They're not, like, at death's door or anything. Well, Cassie no moreso than usual, anyway.
Since this is two milestones, are they going to have a marathon?
