The Botts! A Random Legacy Challenge: 2.4
Sorry for the wait! My attention span has been terrible lately. D: And I actually had to play for a bit to get enough screenshots. I do already have enough for the next installment of the La Forces, though, so at least there's that. Anyway, let's get on with it, shall we?
Last time on The Botts! A Random Legacy Challenge:
Atticus progressed with his aquarium. Finola gave birth to another set of twins, a boy named Luka and a girl named Liv. Dorian became a child, and later, a teenager. The older twins, Elias and Matilda, both became children. Norma passed on. Luka and Liv became children as well. Dorian started dating his best friend, Sarah. Continue!
Warning: this entry may contain strong language, adult themes, and a seemingly infinite number of alien teenagers.
We begin this chapter with Matilda and Elias's birthday.
For some reason everybody's ears got extra pointy around this point (pun intended aha) and I couldn't be bothered to fix it until later in this chapter. Anyway, Matilda's fourth trait is excitable.
Elias's fourth trait is coward.
Guess who woke up in a mood swing. It totally wasn't Dorian.
So naturally, PRANK SHENANIGANS INSUED.
lol you're so grounded.
Matilda is pretty much the only one who spends any time with the cats anymore. But that's okay 'cause they all love her and I'm pretty sure she as a secret cat person trait or something. cx
So Norma's taken to staying around the house all the time now, even though I can't control her. It's a little odd, to say the least.
She's also taken to scaring the bejeezus out of the children, which is partly terrifying but mostly hilarious.
Elias wanted to go to the book store to get some logic books ('cause he's my little logic fanatic ♥) and he decided to take his dad's motorcycle. I just like this picture.
Birthday time for the younger twins! I feel bad because I didn't really pay a lot of attention to them. :/ Having five kids in the house is hectic.
Liv gained mean spirited for her fourth trait.
And Luka gained friendly as his, making him the polar opposite of his twin. I'm so happy with the way all the kids are turning out this gen, I can't even. <3
Liv: Ughhh fml.
Luka: fmlfmlfmlfml.
They're both equally moody, though. -__-
Elias: So grandma's around all the time now, huh?
Luka: Ugh, I guess so. I wish she'd go back to her urn already. She keeps waking me up at night.
Elias: Whatever man, you didn't know grandma like I did. She was a sweet old lady!
Luka: Not according to what dad told me. Did you know she beat up a cop once?
Elias: What?! Our grandma? No way. I don't believe that for a second.
Goddammit.
Finola: Oh gods, the repo man has come to reposess my children! NOOOOO!
Elias: I don't think that's how that works, Mom.
Liv: I hope you know that you're tearing this family apart.
Repo Man: That's nice, little girl. I'm just doing my j-
Liv: TEARING THIS FAMILY APART.
Norma: HOLD UP. WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BEDROOM. AND WHY ARE YOU STEALING MY PAINTING.
Repo Man: Oh my damn, this house is haunted?! Man, they don't pay me enough for this shit.
So begins Atticus's hunt for the elusive perfect deathfish.
So far he's caught plenty of very nice deathfish, but no perfects as of yet.
What does Finola do before work while the kids are at school? Play computer games in the boys' room, of course.
Finola: C'mon you stupid frog, just make it across the road already!
The kids brought some friends home from school! They have friends! ｡◕ ‿ ◕｡
Anyway, this kid's name is Lyle. Those of you who've read The Marx Legacy will know why I thought of legendarysims immediately. ;D
Aaand this adorable girl's name is Lynne.
Matilda: Hey, you're that guy in algebra who's always disrupting the class, aren't you?
Lyle: That's me. You're the girl who's always talking about her cats, right?
Matilda: The very same!
This picture is an accurate representation of what Elias's teenage years consist of in contrast to his siblings. My little black sheep. (':
Aw yeah trait compatibility~
Luka, on the other hand, had his eye on Lynne.
Luka: Don't take this the wrong way, but are you new or something? I've never seen you around school before. I'm Luka, by the way.
Lynne: I'm Lynne. And yeah, my family just moved here from Strangetown.
Everyone's little meet and greet was cut short because a limo arrived to take the kids to prom. Which I totally didn't forget about. D:
So while everyone piled into the limo...
Dorian was a straight-up badass and took Atticus's motorcycle.
1) There are a ton of teens in Lunar Lakes. This isn't even all of them.
2) Apparently one of them is an imaginary friend.
3) I'm not even going to record what happened at prom because FIVE KIDS. All you need to know is that nobody hooked up with anybody (unfortunately) and Luka and Matilda were voted prom king and queen. Which is a little weird but okay. And two of the kids swore they were going to be abducted by aliens even though they're SURROUNDED BY THEM (not to mention that they're part alien themselves and live on an alien planet). Okay I'm done now.
Atticus and Finola decided to leave the kids home alone to go on a "free vacation" because what could possibly go wrong?
Also, here, have a picture of Grimalkin and Olive because I haven't posted anything about them in a while and they're cute. ♥
Majora too. :3
Anyway, Dorian called up just about every kid he goes to high school with and invited them to the inevitable teen party.
Dorian: Yup, no parents, just two straight days of non-stop partying! Everyone's going to be there, and anyone who doesn't go is a loser who hates himself anyway.
The boy has too much of a conscience, though.
Dorian: THERE IS NO WAY I'LL PULL THIS OFF WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING KJSDFSKJDHFFUCK.
Elias: I'm classified as a loser who hates himself. Remind me again why I'm being forced against my will to attend this incredibly stupid social gathering?
Liv: Because, Elias, you need a friend. And by friend, I mean someone to socialize with outside of your chess league.
Elias: ...But I like my chess league. ;~;
Dorian: Hey Lynne, glad you could make it! Care to try some of my world famous mac & chee-
Lynne: Oh, uh... no thanks, Dorian. I was actually just looking for Luka.
Dorian: He's upstairs, he'll be down in a minute. Sigh.
Nobody appreciates Dori's cooking like he does. (x
Dorian: I slave over a hot stove for eight long minutes and what do I get? Some guy dancing with my girlfriend! That'd be like if I had a chair that I really liked, and some guy I didn't even know kept sitting on it all the time, and I'd be like, hey man, stop sitting on my chair! It's my chair, and I happen to care about it very much! One might say I love this chair! This might be the chair I'd like to sit on for the rest of my life! I ask you, IS NOTHING SACRED?
I imagine Dorian has many internal monologues such as this one.
Dorian: So, ah... may I cut in?
Some guy: Sure man, she's your girlfriend.
Dorian: Oh. Well that went better than expected.
Sarah: So... one might say you love this chair?
Dorian: That's- ah, that never was... quite.. determined. Maybe. I dunno. Yes. MAYBE.
By now the party was in full swing, and everyone was ~mingling~ as they should.
Except for two members of the Bott clan, that is.
Liv: You can't hide in dad's weird little fish museum forever, you know.
Elias: Ugh. Don't you have anyone better to terrorize?
Liv: Not today, nope.
Liv: You know what pisses me off about you? You're so awesome and funny but you hide that from everyone except for a few of your dorky little chess friends.
Elias: The fact that I suck at making friends pisses you off? Yeah, okay, join the club.
Liv: I'm being serious, Elias! Quit it with your stupid pity party, go out there, and talk to a girl. Sherrie's here, you know.
Elias: S-Sherrie? The prettiest girl in school?
Liv: That's the one.
Elias: ...Okay. But on ONE condition. You take back what you said about my friends. And you have to go out on a date with one of them.
Liv: Hey, that's two conditions!
Elias: Or, you know, I'm perfectly content with staying in here all evening...
Liv: Ugh, whatever, I take it back. And you tell your friend to meet me at the library this weekend. He will wear a three peice suit, and I will wear whatever the hell I feel like. He will be nothing but a gentleman while I may hurl a harmless insult or two his way. And no touching. Got it?
Elias: Got it.
Liv: Good. Now go have fun.
Elias: H-hello there, Sherrie. Listen, I know this is a long shot, and you probably don't even know my name, but-
Sherrie: Elias, right? We have chemistry together.
Elias: You think so? Oh, the class! I mean, right! I sit a couple rows behind you... and.. yeah.
Sherrie: I love your shirt. My brother and I grew up on Final Fantasy.
Elias: Me too! It's been my favorite video game series for as long as I can remember.
Sherrie: Same! Oh my gosh, I love this song! Wanna dance?
Elias: I ah, erm- yes. Very much so.
Elias:
Elias: Can I get a rain check on that dance? My parents just called saying they're coming home early and I'm basically dead if they find out we had a party here.
Sherrie: Oh, come on! Just one dance? Please?
Elias: I'm gonna hate myself tomorrow for saying this but NO EVERYBODY OUT NOW!
Sherrie: ...Why are you smiling?
Elias: BECAUSE YOU'RE REALLY PRETTY OKAY BUT NOW YOU NEED TO LEAVE PLEASE.
Olive and Grimalkin both aged up right as the party ended. Both are still precious. ♥
Oh god. The moment of truth.
Dammit.
Atticus: I just saw a bunch of kids come running out of our drive way, care to explain that, Dorian?
Dorian: See Dad, it's a long, silly, boring story that I'll tell you all about in the morning because I am just BEAT. *yaaaawn* Well, g'night!
Atticus: Hold it right there mister, I'm not stupid! You had a party here tonight! I hope it was worth it, because you're grounded!
Atticus: And you, Elias! I would have expected something like this from Dorian, but certainly not from you. You're supposed to be the one with some sense around here!
Elias: Talk to a girl, they said. It'll be fun, they said.
Atticus: What does that even mean? You know what, I don't care. You're grounded too!
Atticus: AND I DON'T EVEN CARE IF YOU WERE INVOLVED OR NOT, YOU'RE GROUNDED AS WELL!
Luka: Whoa whoa whoa Dad, calm down. Can we speak to Bruce Banner instead?
Atticus: You kids all act like this is a joke! I can't even be taken seriously in my own home!
Liv: Dad. I'm not exactly one to talk, but your natural hair color is pink and you're not even an alien or anything. I don't think anyone's ever taken you seriously. And what the hell, why didn't you ground Matilda?!
Matilda: Because I'm the favorite. c:
I'll leave you with this group picture of the teens. No idea what happens next because I haven't played that far in advance yet! An heir poll is likely. Anyway, thanks for reading/commenting/being you. ♥ c;
