Eleanor & Carina, Likely: Generation 2 Spares
Hello again! I'm sorry to report that there aren't many more pictures than last time, but things get a little...interesting I guess. This family has a thing for drama. Also, technically, this takes place before the regular update, which is why it's being posted first :]
Katricia is by sneebsey and Bromine is by racing_oatmeal
we start immediately with Eleanor giving birth to her baby.
Bromine's kind of freaked about being a dad. He doesn't know if he's ready for this emotionally. But then, he's not getting any younger, so it's time to shut up.
Welcome Brayden Element. It's a boy with daddy's hair color, eyes, and a skintone between Eleanor's and his.
He changed his tune real quick. Maybe, for some wacky reason, he thought the babby wasn't his? Oh Bromine, Ellie's a romantic. She only ever fooled around with you.
He stepped into the dad role real well. In fact, he really doesn't leave Brayden alone.
Ellie goes to sleep, because who would've thought that giving birth was exhausting? Not I.
In the morning, while Ellie is still dead to the world, Carina comes in and visits with her nephew.
Later, she and Bromine cannot shut up about Brayden. At least not until they start talking about the supernatural and what they want to be when they grow up (knowledge sims!)
Once Carina is at work, Katricia wakes up and begins her day with some painting. Working in the fast food industry, her day doesn't begin until the evening. Bromine's only home because he's off today.
A bad decision on a chance card? Aww..
There goes Ellie's bill money.
When Ellie finally wakes up, she cuddles Brayden close. Despite all of the people who've held him today, I suppose he knows that this is his mother.
You were just promoted! What!
Katricia, like I expect any sim to be, is attracted to the excercise bike. If I remember correctly, she misses work that evening in favor of playing about on there.
Carina doesn't mind feeding her nephew. In fact, she loves to help out with him.
Finally, once Katricia's bathed up, she realizes that she spent a significant amount of time working out. I'd probably have that look too if my arm went through a wall.
But oho, she does make it to work in time. Sort of. I mean, she is late. So she has to take her broom. Her employees will never let her live this down.
Where is everyone...?
Bromine did finally get a job in his preferred career track. His first promotion!
Outside, Ellie focuses on catching butterflies. It's nice to not have to worry so much about things.
Ahh, it's Cheyne (gender-swapped, by kathsy)
At work, Katricia runs into a few problems. I kind of wish that EA would've worked in some way for a supernatural sim to answer these chance cards. Katricia's a witch, use her magic to fix it :p
Her great performance on a packed evening of burgers serves her a promotion. Yay, normal work hours!
I suppose Eleanor persuaded Bromine to take a bath. And now all he wants to do is take baths, even though he only has 30 minutes until he has to be at work.
There has been a severe lack of Eleanor and Brayden so far.
when Bromine isn't investigating crime, he's investigating why television shows are still on the air.
Meanwhile.
Time for make-overs!
Whoo, I'm on fire!
Ellie, please never change.
Get prepared, enter ~the plot~
Katricia glances over and Eleanor and Bromine more than once. She knows that this is what Katricia wants from her, marital bliss, happiness, normality, but Katricia has been around for far too long to find those things appealing. She needs to get out before things get more serious.
~end~
Ellie may have wonderful news for Bromine, and in the sims, what could that wonderful news be aside from the expected second child?
Eleanor settles in for a meal of salmon across from her sister's werewolf friend, Olivier (jesstheex). She starts wishing she'd made something other than salmon. Like pork chops or something more up a wolf's alley.
Wow, okay Kat.
~plot~ Carina has been feeling Katricia get more and more distant as the days go on. Katricia doesn't even bat an eye when Carina pulls Olivier close. Much closer than any friend should be.
Of course, it's probably not the best idea to show affection to a werewolf.
For this reason..
Katricia walks out of the room. A smile growing on her face. She'd begged Olivier to come over this evening. Knew that this is where things would go. Knew that maybe this would be her chance to get Carina to see that she was not cut out for domesticated bliss.
Phase 1 complete. /~plot~
Carina felt a little strange. She'd never expected that Olivier would bite her. She knew that in 24 hours time, she would be a werewolf. The first witch/werewolf in Arridia, to be precise.
Meanwhile.
(there's a lot more of this than I let on. Mostly between Bromine and Eleanor.)
and that's it for the spares this time around.
