Oliver 2.3
Apologies if this entry sucks balls. I'm running on exactly two hours sleep today.
LAST TIME...the Olivers got a new house, the kids burned a lot of muffins and got into private school while Maddie and Billie were off in another room conceiving another baby. Unfortunately, Maddie had a very bad day after that; first having a miscarriage, then getting hit by lightning, and then getting electrocuted by the family television. Miraculously she didn't die in all that. Billie became an art slave due to the challenge I rolled, and she spent half of the update trapped in a small room with no doors or windows, cranking out paintings and pottery. Then, the twins became really good-looking teens.
On with the show!
Maddie: Bored now.
Yeah...go inside then. You don't want to be hit by lightning again.
Simon: Oooh, rain!
GO INSIDE!
She looks like she's having a particularly bad dream.
Maybe about being trapped in a room, being forced to make art and given no toilet facilities.
...oh wait.
And the grilled cheese obsession has begun.
Guess who used up all the food obsessively cooking platters of grilled cheese sandwiches.
Simon: These classes are ridiculously easy, don't you think?
River: No kidding! Heck, I'm doing so well, I should be getting awards at the graduation ceremony...
River: ...and if I don't, I can always hack into the military and just nuke the school.
Simon: *chokes*
*backs away slowly*
Why did I take a picture of this walkby?
HER NAME! OMG!
She will be in this bloodline eventually.
Simon & River: Hi mom! This is totally not us leaving for the city in the middle of the night to go hang out in a club on a school night. Bye!
Maddie: They're such good kids.
You. Are. A. MORON.
Oh, honey. I know you're a Family sim, but you JUST got into high school. Don't you think you should wait a bit first?
Simon's one nice point is starting to kick in. He wants to torment EVERYONE now.
Well that's...unfortunate.
*deletes hair from Downloads folder*
Guys, I sent you here to hang out with OTHER people.
BECAUSE THIS IS ALL YOU WANT TO DO ANYMORE WITH EACH OTHER AND IT'S STARTING TO CREEP ME OUT!
STOP IT!
Hey look, it's Billie peeing on the floor. It's sad when this is less traumatizing.
New hair. <3
I changed my mind, Simon. You need a girlfriend so you can stop stalking your sister.
More??
Stockholm Syndrom has set in, I think. Either that or the Social Bunny keeps sneaking weed into the room.
Billie: Hello, Mr. Bunny! Can you get me a magic lamp so I can wish myself OUT OF THIS HELLHOLE?
Social Bunny: No. Your suffering is my reason for living.
Besides, even if you did escape, I'd just put you back in the room.
Billie: God damn it!
Simon: Uh, mom? That piece doesn't go that way.
Maddie: But the horsey can jump over all the people and bite your queen in the butt!
Simon: *long-suffering sigh*
Maddie: *adorable but stupid smile*
Random shot of Canderleigh in winter.
Remember: Book smarts, not necessarily common sense.
I've never had to hire a maid for this house. Between the OCD twins, nothing stays dirty in the house long enough!
Maddie: One of you kids is going to have to get married and keep the family name going.
Maddie: That means you need to make more friends than just your sister.
Simon: I know one way of getting lots of friends. A big stock portfolio. Bitches love cash.
Maddie: Money helps, I must admit. Marry a rich girl.
Um...yeah, great values you've taught your kids.
Maddie: Hey, this IS a Legacy after all.
Ahem, anyway... PARTY TIME!
River's got a bit of a crush on this guy, who's name I don't remember because I'm terrible with townie names.
PENGUIN!
Anyway...
Check that. River had a crush on Red Dreads here, until he expressed his dislike of her Lord and Master Cheese le Grilled.
GO. SOCIALIZE.
Townies: *judging*
Meanwhile...
Billie makes a tea set. Thank you, Billie. Now get back to work, art slave.
*sigh*
Social Bunny: This house bores even me.
MIDDLE OF WINTER, SIMON. You have NO concept of weather, do you?
To distract the twins from...well...each other, I got them a little chihuahua named Buena.
She's such a joy.
Buena: There, I'm chewing on this rubber thing you think I'm going to believe is a bone. HAPPY NOW??
Oh, and they randomly have small arguments.
Simon seems to think he won't have to work because he's going to marry rich, like mom said. River insists that he's going to have to get a job.
River: And FUCK VIOLINS!
Simon: Oh yeah, violins suck.
And suddenly, the argument's over.
Oh, Simon...
You're lucky she thinks that's hilarious.
And that fateful day happens...
Yeah, sorry, love. Then again, you're close enough to old age that you don't really need a job anyway.
Speaking of old age, time for another birthday party!
*kersplode*
And here she is, after a bit of a makeover so she actually looks like a little old lady. :)
Still adorable, my dear.
Maddie: Dear diary, I had such an awesome birthday party that I've slammed this book through the wall. The end.
That's it for tonight! Tune in next time for the last half of the twins' teen years, plus Billie being freed from Art Hell and joining Maddie in Elderhood. Romance is in the air all over the house, and Buena stops being a freeloader.
