The Yarns, Emerald part 5

[yarnsim]

late update is late!! My once weekly updating schedule fell apart ... obviously. I got wrapped up in my new patio garden, cooking, and reading. So sorry!! I'm working hard at getting updates back to their regular schedule :)





She went to work as a tap dancer, but came home with a promotion. The rate at which she's getting these promotions means I only see each work outfit once!



So I gotta take advantage of the situation, right? The slap dance isn't quite tap dance, but it's sorta similar and it rhymes, so what the hey! Let's dance away!



Em had a little idea, so she invited Raphael over.



Emerald: I love this shapely bum!! *tweaks*
Raphael: *is startled*
~*LUUUURVE*~~



Emerald: Ooooooh, was that just what I thought it was?
Raphael: Tee hee?



Emerald: Um? Hey?
Yes?
Emerald: Wasn't that red heart #20, thus meaning I am forever fulfilled?
*checks notes* mmmm, yes. Yes it was.
Emerald: I don't feel different. *scowl*
Raphael: My love isn't good enough! I should never have done this!! What would Caryl think of me now!?!?! I can't even LOVE properly anymore!!! *woe*
['tis true...she got to 20 simultaneous loves only to have it not properly recognized in her memories!! no idea why, but I chose not to stress about it since she was already permaplat. but still. irritating.]



Meanwhile on the other side of the yard...



Custard: Of course there are ghosts Gramma! I've seen them!! I think there's one coming right NOW!
Allison: Just because it's nighttime and I'm winning doesn't mean you should tell tall tales, young man. You know very well that there are no ghosts coming right now.



Allison: They're all still confused and distracted by the move to the new little museum house your mother built.
Custard: But there are really ghosts, right?
Allison: Of course there are!! In fact the ghost of your great-great grandfather Ash and I had to finally come to an agreement.
Custard: What kind of agreement??????



Allison: Well he was being a cheeky little ghost, and insisted on scaring your mother and your Aunty Enchanted every night (this was when your Uncle Frog Prince was only a baby and ghosts didn't bother him). I told him that little girls need to sleep, and he understood that because when he was alive he had little girls.
Custard: He did?
Allison: Yes, your great-gramma Clementine and her twin sister Marmalade.
Custard: ...her twin!!!
Allison: ... so he said that he would only haunt on nights when the sky was clear and the moon shone in the windows. He was a werewolf after all.
Custard: *swallows hard* A ... a ... werewolf?
Allison: ... checkmate!!



Frog Prince was working hard in his chosen career - entertainment - but that next promotion kept eluding him. He decided it was time to move out of the rambunctious family home and out somewhere new. Maybe that would be just the change he needed to strike it big! He left quietly one sunny morning. *hugs him tight*



Family life continued in much the same way ... cereal



... tunes





games







and more tunes.



When suddenly Peat realized that he was getting old. Very old, in fact. His hair was white (honestly he knew it had been that way for sometime, but somehow he'd hadn't really paid it much mind), and those pictures of his mother, father, and grandparents stared at him earnestly from the walls of the museum house. Their stares made him a little wistful ... but uncomfortable too. Something was afoot.



Not that anyone else noticed.





He spent a long morning talking with Emerald.



But he wasn't sure she got the intended message out of it.
Peat: So...I know we've had our disagreements and all, but I just really want you to remember ... LOVE THE TREES!!!
Emerald: Trees?! What is he going on and on about? Is he talking crazy about that lemon tree again? OOooh, I could really go for some fresh lemonade about now, I wonder if we have any.
Peat: ... [insert Charlie Brown teacher voice here] ...
Emerald: I wonder if he'd notice if I left to go pee?



Emerald: That's fantastic Papa! 'scuse me...gotta pee!
Peat: ...



And things went on.





(Custard gets good grades!)



(Gold)



Peat: *sigh*
Allison: What?







Peat: Thank you XD
Allison: Anytime!!



Peat: at least I got one last kiss ...



*cry*



Peat: *GASP* YOU DON"T SAY?!?!



Peat: Allison ... I wish I didn't have to do this adventure without her!
Me too!!! ... shouldn't she be going with you???







We all have different reactions to sad events ...



Emerald: And I never let him fi-i-i-nish the lemon-n-n tree story!! *SOBS*



Emerald: WHAT WAS HE TRYING TO SAY??!!?! Come back!! You didn't finish!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!



When I first saw the green stink I worried that Caribou left with Peat. But no. He's still here.



And Allison is picking up where Peat left off.



Life continues!! Especially for those townies who never met Peat and thus are not mourning. Cuz it's always appropriate to smustle at the home/business of a random family who just lost a family member. Totes.



win for the (other) twin!



win! Emerald noticed!



Gold: *gleeeee*





Guess who stopped by the museum now?!?! Bojana Dido and Urania Inge Goth!! [half-alien daughters of snapun's Mark Husky via swampcandy's multi-pt set. I totally need to tell their family's story sometime, it's a really good one. But at least they stop by the Yarn house occassionally so I can indulge my love of them just a tad :D]



Allison doesn't sleep in her bed anymore, not since Peat left ... just this sofa thing in the bathroom :(



Em decided she'd earned a little treat. Golden ballet bar, anyone?



And then I decided that she couldn't dance at her new golden ballet bar without a tutu.



Much better, no?





Guess who just reached maximum Lifetime Aspiration?



bondchick_nett's Hutton and chloriinated's Lindsay Osvaldo enjoy some of the other benefits of the museum.



And have a *~fascinating~* conversation about hats.



Boys are home from school, so clearly it's time for some fun.



But first ... a Flamenco Dancer!!! MOG I love Emerald in this outfit!! I almost wish (oh nvm, I totally wish) she could stay in this outfit FOREVERS!!!



in search of fun ...





(are we having fun yet?)



wahooooO!!! (That's Diamond Jami Goth, older sister of the half-alien twins I mentioned earlier :D)







eclectic mix of game players is eclectic!





Flamenco dancer turned World Class Ballet Dancer.



Running your own museum and maxing two careers? $100,000 (!!)



Three mens to congratulate and kiss you? PRICELESS!



For everything else there are cute little boys to kiss hamsters. (And yes, he still reminds me of Ponyo.)

Next time with the Yarns:: More stuff will happen and I don't know what it is because I haven't played it yet!!! SO EXCITING! You should totes stay tuned :D

Confused?
