Chasing Rainbows: 3.6
Warnings: Death
Orange spouse Melon Drop is by brilliantcat
After the house became something from a scary movie, we return to a relative sense of calm:
Pyr: (I’m all cold and wet here, someone get me changed!)
Pyr: (Anyone? Please?)
That means one of you two, guys - at least, since Ochre plainly isn’t offering
No Ochre, being saved from death doesn’t mean you no longer need to sleep.
Aaaww, Mils loves his granddad so much he wants to spend his last day curled up with him
Meanwhile:
Happy birthday, Pyr! Except... pink comes after your gen, sweetheart.
Oh, thanks for waking him up, Xanthe. Maybe she knows?
Mel’s an amazing father. I love him to pieces
Ochre’s good at many things, but what he does best is delaying the inevitable. This time however, I don’t mind one bit...
Ochre: You again? What’s with the garland, and the hula dancers? Not that I’m complaining about that last part, but...
Grim: IT IS OVER, OCHRE IXCHEL. THERE IS NO WAY OUT THIS TIME.
Ochre: ... Aaaww, rats.
Bye Ochre. I’m gonna miss you
Psst... try to behave a little better than that father of yours, huh?
Aaaw, Mils
At least he knows how to keep himself chirpy
Right, let’s get this guy potty-trained. I won’t make the same mistake I made with Mils.
These two are very needy, I’ve noticed. Both of them have been asking for attention a lot.
Ah, that’s better. I don’t fancy a repeat of dirty nappies, thanks.
Hey, come on, you were given that not so long ago. Don’t be greedy.
Ugh, this again. Hmm, Mel’s too serious to be bothered with that dancing malarkey.
Oh, what a shame. Still, it’s better than being fined
Ooh, we have a budding boffin in our midst!
Oh lawds, here we go again.
There, you made the poor kid wet himself. Proud of yourself, are you?!
They have it in for the guy tonight
Damn it, will you leave him alone?! Go pick on someone your own size!
Oh man! I wondered why I got the ‘skin and bones’ warning! What’re you trying to do Jasper, get him taken away?!
Well, at least he took my advice this time. Thank you for picking on the TH for a change; at least I know he can handle it.
Damn it, they’re just as bad as each other
This guy’s a born knowledge sim, I just know it. He’ll be doing alright, at least.
Aaaaaaaawww
He really takes after his mum. Well, both parents, actually. I have to say, Mils has set the bar really high this gen. Pyr’s gonna really need to shine if he’s to stand a chance of being picked - I have never been so taken with a child sim as I have this guy.
Riiiight… wanting to buy a bug box when he hasn’t been collecting? Oh well, let’s just assume that he hasn’t got so much nature enthusiasm from playing with Satsuma and he really does have these butterflies…
D’oh… at least he won’t miss the cash.
Now, I don’t know what it is about these kids lately, but neither orange nor red have so much as looked at the oven by themselves. I got the ‘skin and bones’ warning with Mils, and with Persy at work, I couldn’t take any chances. I had to direct Mils to the oven, thus spending his command
Oh good, I’m so glad you’re finished - your kids are hungry, Mel! Get to it!
Aaaw, Ochre, don’t be sad! You had a good life in the end!
Damn, now you’re making me cry
Oh, thank you. I was hoping all you needed was a little push.
Ah, great timing Mel. At least I know Mils won’t go hungry now.
Oh great, thanks Pyr
To be fair, though, I have TJ’s toilet fixes which means tots will only do that if they’re feeling lousy, so… yeah
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaww
Oh Persy, please don’t go - I’m gonna miss you so much
Mils, please, as much as I appreciate your making the bed, can you go rescue your muffin before the social worker gets on our case?
Phew, thank you. Don’t worry about it being burnt, it’s still edible.
Even better that Persy was serving up at the time. Another crisis averted.
Now Mils is at school, Persy is completely on his own during the day. Therefore teaching Pyr the essentials has become a walk in the park
Erm, Mils? Surely the need for a shower is greater than the need to watch TV?
Okay, now, there’s something that’s been bothering me for a while regarding Persy, and it’s high time I fixed it.
Persy: Do I get my wish now?
Me: You certainly do, sweetie.
Persy: So, I’ve been getting increasingly concerned about the amount of mean ghosts floating about at night, and the frequency of lift breakage in this place… I gather you offer a certain life insurance for these kinds of things?
I’d been meaning to do that for a while, with the time I can still control him. I’ve never wished for that before, but I don’t fancy my favourite Ixchel to date suffering any mishaps once the red heir holds the torch - especially when it comes to the kitchen
