WARNING: Strong language, mosaic-free sim nudity, drama to the third degree, etc. etc.
Last Time: There was Generations fun times for all! ♥♥♥ The twins had a night club birthday and aged into bombshell identical Teen girls. Memphis continues to dig himself deeper into a dramatic love triangle with the Kalos brothers. Generations made the situation more dramatic, if you can believe it. Cael finally wedged himself into Victoria's good graces, if you know what I mean, wink wink. Sanji, Cricket, and Dylan head to China for school-related reasons and meet Bishop and Brooklynn Amell. Sanji and Brooklyn become great friends, and there's some mistaken identity drama. Bishop likes Cricket, and Dylan like Bishop, but Bishop doesn't know they're twins, WHOA! But Cricket likes Kain Kalos, and all her stalking pays off when they get together. And I promised you guys a prom!
Cael: Dad, I know what I did was wrong and I'll never do it again.
Evan: Do you even remember why I grounded you?
Cael: But can I please please please go to prom tomorrow night?
Evan: You do seem sufficiently remorseful.
Evan: All right, Cael. You are ungrounded, but try to stay out of trouble, okay son?
Cael: Really?
Cael: OMG, thank you so much Dad, you're the best!
Kendra decides to reward Evan for his good parenting.
Kendra: Want to know what I was thinking? About that new treehouse, if you know what I mean.
Evan: Hard to not know what you mean, Princess.
Splinters be damned.
Dylan: So...I was thinking. Want to dress alike for prom? I mean, we won't be able to play other pranks with chaperons everywhere and it would make the best kind of mischief...
Cricket: What?! Nonono, girl, that's the only night I wouldn't want to play twinnsies with you!
Dylan: Hmmm. How about I challenge you to battle and whoever wins gets their way?
Cricket: Excuse us, Great-Grandma-
Dylan: -the two of us must battle.
Parker: Don't let me get in your way, girls.
Dylan: EN GARDE!
Cricket: Whoa! Hey, I wasn't ready!
Cricket: You are in for a world of hurt.
Dylan: I don't think so. Give me your best shot.
Cricket: TAKE THAT!
Dylan: BWAH!
I love these animations. Those faces. XD
Cricket: SURRENDER OR PAY THE PRICE!
Dylan: Fine, FINE! You win!
Cricket: I've decided we should compromise. We can do our hair alike, but I still want to do different duds.
Dylan: Really? Awesome!
Dylan: I found an old photo of Mom at the beginning of her career and her hair looks amazing. I thought we could do that.
Cricket: Mom is pretty famous, so there's nothing uncool about that idea in this case.
Dylan: You're the best, Cricket!
Cricket: I know, but so are you.
I don't really know how Dylan is going to pull off this prom thing with Bishop, but I don't really care since nothing that important will happen off-screen. We'll see how it goes.
Cricket is generally temperamental in the morning. Or all the time. :P
Cricket: I hate mornings!
Dylan: Chill out, girl, it's prom tonight!
All the kids were really excited about the whole prom thing at school that day. Since Cael and Cricket both Hate the Outdoors, they race for the door everyday. Today Cricket is actually smiling. I'm not sure what Cael is doing.
Cael: Did I remember to lay out my suit for the butler?
Cricket: Gods, Cael, you sound like such a rich kid.
Cael: I am a rich kid!
Cricket: Doesn't mean you have to sound like one.
For reasons I'm not sure of, the kids took over their parents suite to get ready.
Cael: Do you think it's bad to sound rich, Dylan? I mean, I don't see why-
Dylan: You go to public school, Cael.
Cael: So?
Dylan: *sigh* Nevermind.
And then my screen did this CRAZY SHAKING DANCE and I thought my graphics card totally fried! Turns out it was gameplay. Scary gameplay that interrupted Evan's dancing/slip-n-sliding evening.
Evan: Was that an earthquake?
Okay, I live close enough to a ring of fire to know that if I felt a quake that shook as much as my screen did, I'd be on the ground taking cover. Sheesh.
Anyway, before Evan went off on emergency, I wanted to get a good picture of all the kids before they left for prom.
Cricket and Dylan. (Dylan is to the right.)
Cael, looking sexy as heck.
Cael: How you doin'? *smolder*
And Memphis, who was incredibly nervous and fidgety.
Memphis: I'm worried about seeing Lukas again. I haven't since we fought. But I should try to just think of Moses tonight, he's so sweet...
Memphis: Are you coming, Vickie?
Victoria: Huh? Oh, yeah. *sigh*
Well, their dates glitched. Only two showed up, and then they wouldn't get in the limo, so I had to reset them. I guess Prom has some kinks.
So while the kids head to school for the big night, Evan and I are combatting the aftermath of the Los Aniegos earthquake and it was so fucking scary! There was a woman trapped under the flames!
Also in the first house was this poor child, who is related to me somehow seeing as he has "Storms" in his name. Evan had to yell in his ear to wake him.
And then we head to the next house:
WHAT! AUDREY! Wait, if you're here does that mean-?!
SILAS! FUCK! Goddamnit game, not cool! This isn't even their house! Screw the Firefighter career, kittenmittons had it right when she said it was a Gen 1 thing. I'm just glad Silas wasn't on fire like the first chick, but seeing him unconscious and twitching was not okay.
Evan: I don't want to know how you always end up in houses that are on fire, but you aren't allowed to die in one. That might be the only thing my wife won't forgive me for.
After saving Silas from the collapsing building, it's Audrey's turn for rescue.
Silas: *groggy* A-Adurey?
Evan: I'll take care of her, Silas, just get out of here!
Lucky for my poor heart, Audrey and Silas come out of the ordeal fine.
Audrey: What happened? What are we doing here, Silas?!
Silas: Nevermind that, let's get home and check on the kids!
Now I'm sure you're wondering what kind of SP pop-ups I've been getting about the prom. Well, I'll tell you. With style, and with a subtly dirty and somewhat offensive song.
Click to viewAnd that's Prom Night. :D ♥♥♥
Memphis: Cricket, I think I made a huge mistake.
Cricket: You, dear brother, need to get over yourself.
Bishop: Limo is here, Cricket, want to head out?
Cricket: Why is blondy even here?
Awkward.
Cricket: I can't believe you and Victoria stayed late to bad-mouth me to whoever was left! I won that crown fair and square and Miss Prude didn't deserve it!
Kendra: Cricket, dear, please move so I can ground your brother for staying out past curfew.
Cael: You practically pushed my girlfriend off the stage when they announced the winner! You ruined our otherwise perfect night by rigging that vote, Cricket! Victoria and I were supposed to be King and Queen! It was destiny!
Kendra: Children? Hello?
Cricket: Come off it, Cael! I didn't rig anything! It's just a stupid high-school ceremony!
Cael: It wasn't stupid to us!
Kendra: *sigh*
After hours and hours of firefighting, fixing gas leaks, and saving people burried in rubble, Evan finally finished the Earthquake challenge. He was tired, hungry, stressed, and dirty, but he could go home. Really, his only green stat was Social. It was awful. :(
Evan: I CAN GO HOME, KTHNXBAI.
Sanji, worried about his Dad, and feeling left out of the festivities, spent the evening with Kendra. She even let him sleep in the "big bed".
Kendra: This is the book your great-great-great-grandfather wrote about his relationship with your great-great-great-grandmother.
Sanji: Racy!
Kendra: It is a bit. And you said you read it all ready?
Sanji: Twice!
Prom night loot! So...if you are a meticulous player, you may want to change the dates into formal wear beforehand, because everyone but my kids showed up in their street clothes. :P And Moses showed up singed. XD
Sanji awakens like a zombie coming back from the dead.
Sanji: *bleh* Am I still too young for coffee?
Cael: Yes.
Sanji: Okay, I'm going back to sleep then.
...huh?
Memphis: PTERODACTYL!
Memphis: Actually, I'm just rigging the shower.
Oh, that makes more sense. XD I didn't know the kids could prank autonomously! Awesome!
And the prankstee turns out to be Kendra. Who almost falls through the wall when she trips trying to get into the shower!
Kendra: AH! Curse my mother's Clumsy genes!
Kendra: What the crazy?
Kendra: Those kids! I have a photo shoot today!
Apparently since Cael teleported to school instead of taking the bus, it was considered breaking the grounded rules. :P
Evan: What were you thinking?!
Cael: Dad, the school is across town and the bus always makes us late!
Evan: No buts! Telportation pad use is off-limits when you're grounded!
Bishop: Oh, you're wearing your hair up today, Cricket? I like it when it's down.
Brooklynn: Bishop? That's not-
Dylan: I'll keep that in mind.
Brooklynn: You're both idiots, aren't you?
Memphis: Hey handsome.
Moses: Hey yourself. ♥
Damn, but they do look good together.
Emilie Storms is the second-born of Aisha and Vermont and I just adore her. ♥
It's Cael's birthday!
♥♥♥ No doubt about it, I love him. He rolled Good Sense of Humor for his last trait, something he inherited from Kendra. Also, Victoria has the opposite trait so that will be interesting. He's also putting the Eccentric trait to good use by wanting to make monsters, albeit for non-evil reasons like his other family members. (I really want to try that career path, no lie. XD Inventing is awesome!) Cael is up on the download page for whoever wants him.
Avalon & Hugo have their first night together! ♥
It wasn't everything ya'll might have dreamed it to be.
Hugo: My wife is a scary ghost!
Avalon: Quit being a wimp, babe, and jump with me!
Hugo: Oh, cruel fate!
Avalon: Whatever.
Memphis: I shall take the day head on!
Good for you!
A few sim!minutes later...
Memphis: What am I saying?! I don't know what I'm doing with my life at all!
Sanji knows the best way to get clean.
Sanji: Seagull off the aft! Finally, some fresh feathers for my bunk!
Pirates have priorities.
Dylan woke up in a terrible mood.
Dylan: I don't know what I'm doing with my life either! The guy I like thinks I'm my sister!
You children do these things to yourselves.
It was a morning for skilling. Memphis is upstairs practicing his ninja moves.
Cricket continues to be a musical prodigy. Her instruments of choice are the grand piano...
...and the electric guitar in the basement. :)
Cricket: Gotta love the jams.
Dylan, as usual, is roped into whatever Cricket wants to do.
Cricket: Why don't you pick up on the base, Dylan? We could play together!
Dylan: I don't know, I'm not really that into music. Want to go shopping?
Cricket: Maybe later.
Dylan works out her issues by talking them through in the mirror.
Dylan: I don't understand why we always have to do what you want. I have my own life, my own interests. Instead, I'm always "Cricket's twin sister"...
Sanji: Are you busy? Do you want to come over and play? Cool!
Sanji: Yay, she's coming over!
Cael: Oh? You got a girlfriend, little bro?
Sanji: I think so! She's a girl and she's my friend!
Cael is a big inventor now, making and selling great things.
And setting himself on fire. :P
Cael: What are you looking at?
Gnome: "Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses."
Cael: What am I saying? Gnomes can't talk.
Gnome: "Ignorance is the night of the mind, but a night without moon and star."
I decided the Chinese gnome quotes Confucius. He looks like he would.
Speaking of gnomes, they congregate a lot more now.
Gnomes: STONE HIM STONE HIM!
Gladys Gnome: I'm a woman, you ignorant fiends!
Hard to tell, with gnomes.
Sanji: Next stop, Skull Island! Avast!
Brooklynn: Not that your playground isn't totally awesome, but do you want to go to the public park instead?
Sanji: You mean get away from the looming presence of my family and play elsewhere? Heck yes! The gnomes are freaking me out anyway.
Sanji was going to teleport to the park, and ended up someplace entirely different.
Sanji: Where am I? This isn't the park.
You're behind the giant Hillwood sign, my child. I can see your tiny plumbob from here.
Sanji: Crap, I better book it to the park. I hope Brooklynn waits for me.
Brooklynn: Sanji sure is late. I wonder where he could be?
Amit: Hey little girl, want to here a ghost story?
Brooklynn: Well, I'm kinda hungry and I shouldn't talk to strangers.
Sanji: Brooklynn, come play on the seasaw with me!
Brooklynn: Gotta go, creepy green guy!
Amit: But it's a really good story!
Sanji, that was pretty darn cool. :)
Brooklynn: What do you want to be when you grow up, Sanji?
Sanji: I haven't really decided. Maybe an athlete or an astronaut? Or a firefighter like Dad.
No! Noooooooooooo! NO!
No.
Amit: And then the disembodied skull spontaneously combusted!
Not a word, dude. But I dig the new ghost story animations. I might have had Sanji and Brooklynn watch if I knew it was going to be that cool.
Sanji: It was a good idea to get away from the house.
Brooklynn: Yeah, I like getting away. Miracle tries too hard, and she doesn't know anything about kids.
Sanji: Adults are so weird.
Cute Brooklyn. ♥
Brooklynn: I see a ghost manned scallywag ship!
Sanji: To arms!
Sanji: Want to be best friends?
Brooklynn: Okay!
Sanji: Then I salute you, BFF! But I must head home. It was fun spending the day together!
Brooklynn: Totally, Sanji, I'm glad you invited me!
I got the notice Moses aged up.
Moses: I won, Chloe! Memphis is not only mine at last, but when I said I'd wait for him he was super excited!
Chloe: I guess I'm happy for you, Moses.
Moses: Anywho, I'm going to sleep and wait for Memphis to grow up.
Chloe: Whatever.
Two Storms kids talking to respective partners in crime.
Cael: Hey, Victoria, just leaving you another message. I didn't see you at my birthday, and I wanted to catch up. Call me, okay?
Cricket: You want to cook me dinner, Kain? Sounds adventurous.
Cricket: I suppose I can tolerate the idea if dessert is included. ♥
Cael: Is it strange that she didn't come to my party and she isn't returning my calls? I wonder.
Tara: I would always return your calls, Cael.
Memphis: Hello, ocean. This is the perfect moment to just watch the waves, meditate and be completely zen-
Lukas: Hey Memphis!
Memphis: Or not.
Lukas: Look, I know we haven't talked much but I wanted to say I was sorry. I've been a brat lately. No matter what you did, no one deserves to be treated horribly forever. I still think you're a great person-
Memphis: Lukas, you're rambling.
Lukas: Sorry.
Memphis: I was just here to look at the beach and meditate.
Lukas: Oh. Well, there's a better view up on the pier, Memphis.
Memphis: Where's that?
Memphis: You're right, Lukas! This is a great view!
Lukas: Told you so.
Lukas: And it's usually pretty chill here, so you can meditate undisturbed.
Memphis: Lukas...you're amazing.
Gosh darn it. I think Memphis is still head over heels for Lukas.
Lukas: How amazing? Really amazing?
Memphis: Really, really.
Lukas: I like where this might be going.
Lukas: But I was invited to a party at your house, so we'll have to pick this up later!
Memphis: There's a party at my house?
Cael: Victoria didn't make it again? Where can she be?
Tara: Do you like my new look, Cael? I thought of you when I had it done.
Down, butler, down. Good gravy, woman. :P
It appears someone forgot their pants.
Ivan: Huh?
Sabrina: Help! Something ran off with my husband's pants! It could be a pants serial killer!
Dylan: Feeling a little...cold...Mr. Kalos?
Cael: So not cool.
Ivan: Don't just stand there, there's a pants killer on the loose!
In saner news, IT'S SANJI'S BIRTHDAY!
You sweet looking boy, you. ♥ So not completely a Cael clone, which is what I was worried about. Sanji rolled Frugal as his fourth trait.
Being newly Frugal, Sanji sets out to save this family money.
Sanji: Piles of money, wasted everyday! I must do something!
Sanji: Take that, eternal fire.
What's the big deal? We've had the "No Bills Ever" LTA since generation one. :P
Sanji: You too, trusty rocketship. No more wasted power!
?: Sanji?
Looks like Brooklynn Amell grew up too.
Brooklynn: So my mother calls and says the whole family is moving to Queenstown and Bishop and I have to go back to Twinbrook ASAP. Bishop got a flight for tonight, but I couldn't get one until tomorrow night. Anyway...I just thought I'd tell you.
Sanji: You're moving all the way to Queenstown?
Brooklynn: No, halfway. We're going to live on an island and eat papayas all day. /sarcasm Yes, Sanji, all the way.
Sanji: Don't!
Brooklynn: Huh?
Sanji: Transfer to Los Aniegos High! We could go to school together!
Brooklynn: But I'm homesick.
Sanji: What if I ate this dirt?
Brooklynn: Gross!
Brooklynn: How is that even relevant?!
Sanji: I don't know, I'm desperate here!
Sanji: If you have to move...promise me you'll spend the day with me tomorrow.
Brooklynn: Oh, that's a no-brainer.
Brooklynn: Who else in this big city would I want to hang with my last day here? You're my favorite person, Sanji!
Cricket: Did you see that movie producer at my recital, Dylan? I think I might get offered a contract!
Dylan: That's great, sis. You deserve it.
Dylan: Hey Bishop. ♥ Oh, you were at the recital? (...) I'm glad you like my playing.
Dylan: Sure I can meet you later, and I'll wear my hair down too. I want our last day together to be what you always dreamed it would be.
Dylan: So I know this is totally wrong. But I don't really care. He wants her, and I want him, and I might not ever see him again anyway.
Dylan: I can live the fantasy for one day.
Dylan: And no one needs to know.
Tara, why are you sitting outside Cael's room?
Tara: Well, he started locking me out. I don't know why, I only want to fix his toilet.
Sanji decided he wanted to pick up the Logic skill. I think that's a great idea, kiddo, but I have an even better way for you to do it.
THE CHEMISTRY TABLE! On the finally finished third floor. :D I can't believe I finally finished the Storms Legacy Mansion. FINALLY! How many ways can I get final about this?
I caught Cael mid-spin as he prepared for a date with Victoria. At last, she returned his calls.
Cael: This is going to be the best date ever! Victoria will be mine!
Victoria: Where does this elevator go again?
Cael: It's a surprise.
Cael: Dirty, stinking elevator!
Smooth, Cael. Way to play it cool.
Cael took his date to the Haunted Mansion in the Magical Kingdom.
Cael: Isn't this wonderful, Victoria? The old-fashioned decorating is so romantic.
Victoria: Actually, it kind of gives me the creeps.
Cael: Hey, check this out!
Cael manages to set himself on fire.
Cael: Why would they even have that in an amusement park ride??!
Victoria: Cael, hold still!
Victoria: Great, now I'm wet.
Cael: Don't worry, baby, I got this.
Cael: Or I can get wet too. Whichever comes first.
Victoria: Now you know how it feels. Not to pleasant, is it?
And after all that...
Cael: Here we are! It's not the end of the ride, but it's my favorite part and I wanted to show it to you. It's an indoor garden!
Victoria: Hmm. You're right, Cael, this place is kind of romantic.
Cael: I knew you'd love it.
Cael: I'm glad you do. Now that you're in the mood, there's something I want to ask you.
Victoria: Cael, what are you doing?!
Cael: Something I've waited to do for years!
Cael: Marry me, Victoria Miller?
Cael: Why are you looking at me like that?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
