This update features a crazy cast of
pixel_trade characters? Why? Well, it's a Viking Death Squad, for starters!
Founder by
simpurity and current spouse, Rocko Rose, is by
simmericangirl.
This update takes us to the heir poll to decide the torch holder for Generation 2!
Last time, Vár and Vé hated each other. The Borks got a pool, and our weekly challenge was Laryngitis. Meaning Val could no longer speak to the other sims in the house. IN AN ISBI. Tyr went just a little crazy and got sent off to college. Unfortunately, the kids started bringing Monique Spicoli home with them. Single age commands were used to get the triplets through their piling-up homework, and then they became teens. Vili and Vé, Fortune Sims, and Vár, a Family sim. Despite growing up well enough, Vé and Vár remained at one another's throats. Skaði and Sága went off to join Tyr at La Fiesta Tech.
Oh, and the family had colds. Did I mention that?
So, let's see what new is going on with--
Nice face, Vár.
A/S/L? Um, I'm married.
Valhalla's got about two and a half more days of being utterly silent, so it's up to THE INTERNET to fulfill her social motives.
I'm not on vacation, I'm home sick. I can't even speak. :(
Since Val can't CALL a repairman, this is all on her.
Ramona Darwin cheerfully steals the paper. I guess that's an improvement on evil plotting...
That's a really nice painting, Vár.
You think so?
Definitely.
Vili is the oversweet Switzerland to his warring trip siblings.
Sorry, you can't talk to Mom, Sága, she's still sick.
Who is that surrepticiously eyeballing us from behind the Bork family van?
Tolouse Secrét, my P_T secret santa gift from
upendoaushi. This marks the first time I've spelled that username correctly on the first try. :P
Not even breakfast is peaceful in a household that contains these two.
SPOILER: This is not the last fight of this update.
Not only does that look painful, I kinda feel badly that Vé always wins. Since he, you know, started all this bullshit.
Vár almost immediately jumps him. There's no real distraction--their motives are up and they're the only two awake in the house.
...scary, scary. I don't know if I'd keep subjecting myself to this abuse if I were you, Vár.
I can't believe I lost that fight. I'll never lose a fight again after this, I swear...
*ROCKY THEME SWELLS IN THE BACKGROUND*
I'll pretend this dartboard is Vé's face!
*RECORD SCRATCHES TO A HALT*
I was looking forward to photoshopping in Vé's head here, but...Vár just sucks at darts, even with motivation!
At least all of this ass-kicking hasn't dealt a blow to her self-esteem!
I want my wife back.
Valhalla seems to be happy with the ability to ignore the whole family.
Whoops. She was eating alone and Vili just plopped down. I guess we can pretend that her love for GC is so strong that she just is croaking out words about it, even though she shouldn't.
All she did was slap you, for fuck's sake. You've INSERTED HER INTO THE KITCHEN TABLE.
Hopefully the gaping will be done with by the time you arrive at school, or you may be in for an ass-beating in the gym locker room.
Picturesque shot of Lil Roberts in the snow.
Wait. Vár is still in grade school how?
Wow, you guys can't even wait for the bus to pull away before you begin the abuse?
I've had 3-bolters less obsessed than these two are with each other. It's pretty creepy.
Nathan Peet, come insert your chubby cheeks into one of my ISBIs!!
I'd tell them to get a room, but they'd destroy it.
Sparkling carpet, it's time for Valhalla to get old!
Guys. CUTEST ELDER EVER or CUTEST ELDER EVER?
We're very proud that you managed to last another day at your slacker job and bring home a friend, Rocko, really.
It's nice to see that Lincoln Darwin appreciates the cutest. elder. ever.
Looks like Vár is appreciating something, too.
I thought you had a thing for Thyme Knight, Vár?
Evil plotting hands? WHAT
It appears that the surfboard was cloned from a gnome. However, it can't be stolen away with, because it's a goddamn surfboard.
(Actually, it's because the thing's too close to the wall from snaptogrid false cheating, but shhhhh...)
Oh god, NO THAT'S COLD. WHAT ARE YOU DOING.
She must've seen Lincoln in his trunks and wanted to catch him in the pool.
I don't think he's going to try and steal a surfboard again. Nice try, though.
Look, Val has one more hour of laryngitis to go, but I felt generous...
...because here is where OCD Rocko dropped the trash he was taking out, in order to BOLT into bed with his wife.
This is as good a time as any to reveal the weekly challenge! Because I removed some of the random ones that weren't going to work with an ISBI (like fulfilling fears on purpose when I can't see them), I added some of the modified Random Occurrence Scenarios from a thread on MATY.
Valhalla has to go on an outing with d6 of her best relationships, priority given to non-family members. My d6 roll was 3, and her relationship with everyone sucks because she hasn't been speaking for a week.
Val's first day to work in a looooong time. I have no idea why she's hating on personable, boring Vili here.
So, my children are on honor roll, isn't that amazing?
No.
This is why you don't run Apollo Randolph down on the street to brag about your children.
None of you failed school as children, so what is the meaning of this?
ZOMG PENGY
Ciaran Bean-Sidhe comes home with Vé, wearing the epitome of the shit-eating-grin.
I seem to recall that Ciaran goes for dudes, but Vili is straight! Ain't gonna work.
Yes, that is Vár lurking in wait.
As well as in the open.
LOL, SENIOR MANAGER
Get it?
Effective parenting, Rocko.
Whoa. I think Vé brought Ciaran home expressly to fuck with Vár. It's glorious, in a way.
Not that she can't hold her own.
Want a sandwich, honey?
NOT. NOW. MOTHER.
I KNOW you brought that asshole home just to screw with me, Vé!
*poke*
Ow! I have no idea what you're talking about!
It's so good to see that you and Vé have become best friends, Vili! Your siblings will always be there for you in life, it's important to remember that!
(Note: The only thing that Vili despises is industrial waste!)
I think Vé will be okay, Vili. He always wins.
Wow, GO VÁR!
I think we may have witnessed the first time Vili was ever an ass.
I can't believe I l-lost!
Sorry, Vé, but it's reading time now.
Add insult to injury, why don't ya?
Ah, so the cause of Vé's shock!face is being bitchslapped. Good to know.
Look, I don't even need to tell you what kind of snowman he made, do I?
SHOCK!SPAM
I don't know, maybe this is only hilarious to me.
Have a nice day at work, Mom!
Thank you, Vili!
Rocko's daily schedule:
- Sleep in.
- Bubble bath.
- Obsessively clean house.
- Occasionally, go to work.
Ah, the ever-pleasant Sherlock Hexx is here!
...apparently, Vár likes all the boys.
I thought Sága was supposed to be the Romance sim here?
Vár suggestively dances as her father begins the elder sparklage.
Voila, Old!Rocko.
So, here's a hug for my future son-in-law--
EXCUSE ME, WHAT?!
HOW THE HELL DID I GET THAT IDEA?
I...don't...know.
Does this mean I should return the wedding invitations?
Note the game, kicky bag, and its platonicness.
I got the best cake toppers. They have dreadlocks and everything.
...family sims, and their need to have family members married off as soon as they are old.
I have a feeling that Rocko'll be the loony type of elder.
Vé. Just the person I wanted to kill.
Sorry, no can do, I'm busy.
Doing what?
Trimming the flowers.
First of all, it's January. Second, there aren't even any flowers there. Prepare to die.
What, what did I do?
I wonder how it feels, now that you're the ass-kicked one?
Vé, Vár, I heard shouting. What's going on?
I was just...uh...trimming the flowers. Yeah.
...what?!
*SNIFFLE!*
...did you beat Vé up again?
Well, yes, but I owe him! Several!
...she was serious!
Soon it'll even out and you'll be the bully.
Valhalla tried her outing. It was about 9pm. She invited the three highest relationshipped sims that didn't live in the household. Sherlock, Tyr, and Skaði. Tyr and Skaði took off as soon as they got out of the car.
...I kinda consider that a failure. Maybe the new torchholder can try again when they get home from Uni.
AGAIN, ROCKO, SUPERB PARENTING
FATHER OF THE YEAR, FOLKS
RIGHT HERE
I can't feel too much pity for her, not anymore.
This is the last day before the trips go off to Uni, so Valhalla calls off work to fill the fridge with Grilled Cheese.
Well, this afternoon can't possibly be boring now!
I imagine Vé just snickering in the background while Ciaran does the dirty work.
But no one's paying any attention to me!
Does anyone? Ever?
Too bad Vár actually fights back, eh, boys?
That was my boob, you asshole!
I like how Janie Peet is just all "La, la, what a beautiful day!"
I demand you look at me.
What the hell do you want, bitch?!
...umm......
HOW DARE I USE THE WORD BITCH I AM PROMOTING PATRIARCHY RARGHLE
Ciaran systematically poked Vár towards the corner of the lot. You can't poke her away, Einstein, she lives here!
Then I heard CRUSH HEARTS and I was all WTF.
Then I realized Ciaran must've broken his poking for a half-second for a flirtation to occur.
Then I was all
WTF
This was inevitable.
WOO, GO VÁR!
I wonder if this makes her look good or bad to Lincoln?
Look, I'm sorry that you are having trouble with your sister and your friends but, as I told you awhile ago, it's because you're kind of an asshole.
Time to go to college!
Bye, bitch!
Um, Vár, honey? You're going to be living in the same dorm as him.
...goddammit.
Vili actually goes out to properly say goodbye. He's too nice to have the trip sibs he's got.
BEHOLD!
Oh, Rocko.
Bye, my last baby!
Rocko is not above picking up random employees from gas stations to come chill with him on the carpet.
He probably should be, though.
Aaaaaand that ends the torch-holdering of Valhalla!
Because it's college time, heir poll time, and all that fun stuff!
First things first, though...
