Breckenridge 2.3
SO, I just realized, like yesterday, that at the end of the last update, I was just like "Oh hey, here's a baby, who I will not name nor let you know the sex of." I swear, I'd lose my head if it weren't attached. ANYWAYS. It's a he, he's got Banner's skin tone and his mama's eyes. Also, his name is Fineas. Other than that... The twins grew into toddlers, Kerith and Galen gossiped like old hens, and Dinah was on her way to being the proud owner of a nervous tick.
HA! Fat chance, Banner.
Kerith's irritation over Fineas's birth has receded and now she's all smiles over the new grandbaby. The first grandson, I might add.
I love this animation.
I see you have a rocket, Ellie.
Ellie: They're going to start a colony on Mars :D
Awesome.
Ellie: Oh no! The turbulence of atmospheric entry is too much for the colony craft to handle! Everyone on board lurches forward! Bodies are flying everywhere! Arms hanging from the luggage rack! The man in the bathroom breaks his neck and passes out in his own filth. People demand to know why, WHY would God allow something like this to happen! OH THE HUMANITY!
... Alrighty, have fun then.
Out in the kitchen, there's a little less crazy going on.
Dinah: Glad to see that they still remember to feed me, what with the new addition and all.
I'm as shocked as you are, sweetie.
The Breckenridges are all about the fish recently.
They stare for hours, and yet somehow manage to forget to feed the damn things. It's amazing.
Ellie doesn't understand the appeal and soon toddles off to mercilessly slaughter another would be colony. Oh, my little destroyer of worlds.
Galen: Honestly, I thought your mother was hotter when she wasn't so logical.
Kerith: Buh : (
Galen: But, even with her bust sagging down to her waist, I still love her.
Aww... I think. Well, Kerith seems appeased enough, anyways.
Anne: I just fixed up my make up, wanna take a stab at smearing my lipstick all over my face? If you catch my drift....
He does. And he did.
Anne: All these fishy faces remind me that I need to go make out with my husband :D
Seriously, this woman has been damn near insatiable lately.
Anne: *propositions*
Banner: Umm.. Don't you think we should at least wait until the kids to go school? I'd hate for them to come out and catch us.
Afraid you'll have to think up a different excuse, Banner. The twins are still toddlers.
1. Banner apparently gave in.
2. That is indeed the knowledge sim that initiated a Try For Baby.
3. This is the fourth time in two days.
Yeah guys, you need to make more babies. MEANWHILE, Kerith will just be inside, tending to the rest of your spawn. But please, by all means, continue.
Kerith: I have this... trepidation towards robots that I just can't quite place.
Banner: Who wouldn't, really? I think the question we need to be asking is, "Why is no one else afraid of robots?"
Banner: I mean, they're stronger, faster, and smarter than us. Someday they'll destroy the world!
Kerith: *gasp* What are we going to do??
Anne: Actually, I have plans to build a rocket ship for just such an eventuality.
Banner: We can use the rocket ship to escape and maybe colonize a new planet.
DEAR LORD, don't let Ellie hear you.
About this time I looked outside and freaked out. WHY WERE THE COPS HERE??
And then I remembered... Banner's a police psychic at the moment. Heh.
Anne, you are STILL failing at having a maid.
Hey, I've seen Law and Order. Go after the Chief!
Poop.
Kerith: Sweet baby Jesus, how much older can I get?!
Relax, it's not for you.
It's for.... well, this one's one of em. Just couldn't get through toddlerhood without sucking down a spoiled bottle, could you Dinah?
Woo!
Poor Dinah grew up without fanfare or cake while everyone was fawning over Ellie.
We interrupt this birthday time for some serenading.
And now back to birthday time.
Here's Dinah.
And Ellie. Those are some eyebrows, Ellie.
Dinah: I can't wait until I'm old enough to get married.
Trying to secure the heir spot early, I see.
Galen: Don't you think you're a bit young to decide what you want to do with your life already?
Oh Galen, don't give them the illusion of free will. It'll break their little hearts later.
Dinah: Nope, I wanna have a bunch of kids.
I will laugh my butt off if she rolls Romance.
Ellie: WHY would you do that? Look how much of a pain our brother is.
Right... So much of a pain that we haven't seen him since he was born, practically. He's such a trial.
Ellie: Siblings are a disaster. You have to share your toys with them and they never play games right.
Yes Ellie, heaven forbid that one of your space pods actually makes it to their destination.
I'm sure no one's surprised to see this want, but just in case you think Ellie's the only evil one here...
She's not. Dinah just hides it better.
Banner: No no, it's not a bad thing, I enjoy it! It's just... I didn't get any sleep last night, and I have to go to work in a bit. I'm just so tired!
Anne: Speaking of last night, you deserve a trophy or something. Do they make those? Maybe I'll go down and get one ordered. We can put it on the living room table :D
Banner: Lovely.
Anne: I don't suppose you wanna meet me later for lunch and some... afternoon delight, hm?
Banner: Oh! I uh... oh what the hell, sure.
Galen: I know you love your husband, but Banner's looking a little ragged around the edges. Maybe you should ease up on him.
Anne: I'm trying for one more baby.
Galen: Oh... in that case, hurry it up! I'm not getting any younger!
Classy.
Banner: So then he was telling me about how much his math classes suck, and I was all, "Too bad you're not a psychic. Then you could just read the teacher's mind."
Anne: *sigh* Banner, the hot tub is not a place to talk about work or math.
Banner: Oh :[
Anne: Let me show you what it IS for...
Banner: Oh :)
Kerith: *feels uncomfortable*
You and me both, dear.
Galen, you seem to have forgotten something.
Galen: Really? I don't think so.
Maybe something like... and infant on the ground?
Galen: Where? I don't see one.
*sigh*
Cait called!
Kerith: Oh sweetie, how are you? How's the new place working out?
Kerith: Oh! A boyfriend, huh? Good for you.
Kerith: Make sure you do lots of things together. Try tennis! It'll keep off those excess pounds too.
Bet you guys thought I was going to make a "playing with balls" joke there, didn't you? I have some self control, thank you very much.
Kerith: And keep the romance alive. That's why your father and I are such a happy couple still.
Kerith: And remember to buy the good quality lube. The cheap stuff just doesn't work.
Omg guys, I can't be good all the time! I don't have that much self control!
Ah,what a good opportunity to practice your pretentious voice, Dinah.
Nice job.
Hey, you in the back there! I don't believe you were called for your discriminating taste in music. There's a trash compactor that has your name on it.
(Kerith is terrible right now, though.)
Hey. Where's your homework?
Ellie: They um... They didn't give me any?
Oh?
Maybe you should hide it better next time, k?
Time for Fineas to become a toddler that will hopefully have more personality than a baked bean.
Yep, he definitely belongs to us.
Wouldn't know it to look at his personality though. Look at those nice points!
That's it for this update. Next update: I don't even know because I haven't started to edit the pictures yet :D
